Chapter 1469 1571. Can't wait
Zhou Duoduo finally entered the manor. It was not because she mustered up the courage, but because the cold wind outside told her that if she stood there any longer, she would freeze to death.
Zhou Duoduo shivered as she opened the door. The storm she imagined from her parents did not appear. Instead, she was greeted by her mother's spring-like warmth.
"Silly girl, why are your nose and face red from the cold? Did you walk here?"
"Come in and warm yourself up. Nie Wei, go to the bathroom and turn on the bathroom heater light for your sister."
Zhou Jianguo also did not blame Zhou Duoduo for her evasive behavior. When they met, they said they were back as usual, and then continued to play chess on their laptop.
Zhou Duoduo quietly came to the bathroom and blocked Nie Wei, who had just turned on the bathroom heater, at the door, and asked, "What's going on?"
"What's going on?"
"It's my parents' attitude. It's very strange. They scolded me so harshly on the phone just now. I was so scared that I stood at the door for half an hour and didn't dare to come in." When talking about the phone, Zhou Duoduo couldn't help shivering. Now she feels scared when she thinks about it.
"Is this the reason why you acted like a bear?" Nie Wei laughed, but before he could laugh twice, Zhou Duoduo slapped him on the arm.
"You're still laughing, it's all your fault. If you didn't say it was my phone call, would I have been scolded?" Zhou Duoduo glared at Nie Wei with gritted teeth. It was this bad brother who tipped off her that made her get scolded today.
If there was a reputation system at this time, Nie Wei in Zhou Duoduo's eyes would at least be hostile.
"Blame me? If it weren't for me, do you think your parents would have this attitude towards you?" Nie Wei said.
Zhou Duoduo was speechless. Why did Nie Wei make her an ungrateful person? However, this statement did explain the reason for the change in his parents' attitude, but what was the specific reason?
"It's nothing. I just talked to them about reason, and you scared yourself at the beginning. Now they don't have time to urge marriage. All their attention is on your sister-in-law and the child in her belly." Nie Wei explained simply.
Fear of being urged to get married is the main reason why Zhou Duoduo escapes. After all, she is almost 28 years old. In the eyes of the elderly, she is definitely an old girl. What worries the elders the most is that Zhou Duoduo has no intention of getting married, and she has not even brought a serious partner home.
After explaining, Nie Wei couldn't help asking: "Duoduo, tell me the truth, why don't you find a partner, or did you find one secretly, but we don't know?"
"I won't ask for details, just tell me roughly, okay?"
"Brother, you think too much, it's not that I don't want to find one, but my standards are too high, and there is no one I like for the time being." Zhou Duoduo looked at Nie Wei with speechless eyes and answered unhappily.
"In fact, there are not so many completely satisfactory partners. Relationships also require mutual concessions to finally come together, so it's okay to try to have a relationship."
"Don't worry about it." Zhou Duoduo pushed Nie Wei out of the bathroom. Nie Wei only heard a "bang" and the door was closed by Zhou Duoduo.
Nie Wei rubbed his chin, thinking, is it because he protected his sister too well?
Nie Wei's mentality is also beginning to change. He was always afraid that a bad man would cheat on his sister before, but now Nie Wei feels that he shouldn't protect her so well. At least he should give Zhou Duoduo a chance to meet the other half. Otherwise, if Uncle Zhou and his mother can't persuade Zhou Duoduo, he will probably be in trouble.
Nie Wei originally planned to stay at home with his elders and wife before the New Year, but he didn't expect that early the next morning, there was a troublesome matter that forced him to go to the company to hold an emergency meeting.
The reason was very unexpected. The matter that Secretary Yuncai mentioned to him about the flu has now spread, causing entertainment venues across the country to be affected. After all, not everyone can spend the Spring Festival with a runny nose and a fever just for fun.
"How much is the impact?" Nie Wei asked.
The head of the marketing department had already prepared the data report. When he heard Nie Wei's question, he immediately replied: "It has declined by about 40%, and this is not the bottom."
If it is not the bottom, it means that it will decline. Nie Wei rubbed his eyebrows and made a decision.
"Change the release date."
"Change the release date?" Someone heard these two words and exclaimed in surprise.
It is not a simple matter to change the release date of a movie, especially when a lot of publicity expenses have been invested in the early stage. Once the release is postponed, this part will inevitably suffer huge losses.
There are also contract issues with other theaters, which are very troublesome.
However, Nie Wei made up his mind and said, "A good movie is not afraid of being late. The audience's expectations for our new film are obvious to all. The postponement will not affect our release at that time. Although it does have a certain impact on the investment in the early stage of publicity, compared with the losses that may be caused by forced release, this loss is acceptable to us."
"Then what date will it be changed to?"
"Not specific, it depends on the situation."
Nie Wei's new film still has a chance to change the release date, but Huayi's new film does not have this opportunity. "Crazy Alien", which has been released for four days, suffered a blow.
On the day he got the news, Boss Wang was completely stunned, and the sharp decline in box office poured a basin of ice water on him, making him feel cold from the bones.
He sat in the office all day, his mind was a mess, he forgot to think, and felt fear all around him.
He was afraid, very afraid.
He regretted why he let "Crazy Aliens" be released in advance. As long as he had to endure it for a few more days, there would be a chance for that movie to change?
But he couldn't change everything now.
In the following two days, the situation did not improve much. The number of patrons in theaters across the country was still declining, with less than 40% of the attendance at this time last year. Correspondingly, all the movies crowded in the Lunar New Year slots have also changed their schedules.
There is nothing we can do about "Crazy Alien" because it has already been released, and the loss of withdrawal may be even greater at this time.
The result of the film's forced release was that the film's single-day box office dropped by more than half. On the latest day, the single-day box office was even less than 20 million.
According to this trend, the final box office of this movie may not even reach 500 million.
If the loss at the box office makes Boss Wang heartbroken, then the plummeting market value makes him feel fear. This is so realistic for a film company. Previously, "Crazy Alien" was a box office hit, and Huayi's market value is huge. has increased, and now that "Crazy Aliens" has plummeted at the box office, Huayi's market value has naturally plummeted.
And it dropped very quickly. On New Year's Eve, Boss Wang's net worth dropped by at least one billion.
The situation of Huayi is not only concerned by the staff of Huayi, but also many people in the industry are paying attention to the situation of Huayi in recent days.
"No, this trend is really not right." Nie Wei looked at the changes in Huayi's market value these days and saw a hint of conspiracy in it.
It stands to reason that due to the natural disaster, the box office of Huayi's new movies will plummet, and the market value will indeed drop accordingly, but it will not be so serious, as if Huayi will go bankrupt the next day.
But in fact, even if the movie loses money this time, Huayi is still a first-class entertainment company in the industry. It will be broken but it will not collapse. What's more, there are big-name directors and artists such as Xiaogangpao and Xun Geer, Huayi It's impossible to just back down like that.
So the trend of this market value is very strange.
"Some people should be causing trouble behind the scenes." After Luo Yuan finished speaking, she couldn't help laughing and jokingly said: "Boss Wang is afraid that he will be in bad luck this time. Otherwise, this company will no longer belong to him. "
Nie Wei nodded, agreeing with Luo Yuan's statement.
The other party was obviously heading for Huayi. This posture was not as simple as fighting against the autumn wind. He probably wanted to devour Huayi alive, and he was very well prepared.
"I guess the other party didn't expect Huayi to be so unlucky, so they suddenly made such a big move, as if they wanted to swallow Huayi up all at once." Nie Wei put down the report with a smile, and then said to Luo Yuan: "During the shutdown, The salary and benefits of the staff remain as usual.”
"Well, I'll make arrangements." Luo Yuan couldn't care less about Huayi's troubles. Now Fanxing also had a lot of troubles waiting for everyone to deal with.
Otherwise, a lazy person like Nie Wei would not come to the company on New Year's Eve.
At this time, several members of HELLOIRLS rarely had time to rest. The box office of "Crazy Aliens" plummeted, and the prepared celebration party could not be held. Several other businesses were also canceled due to the impact of the flu. , their work suddenly became free.
However, this little rest time to go home is obviously not enough. It takes two or three days for some members to go back and forth. Of course, the more important thing is that now everyone has the same goal, so everyone just stays. In the dormitory, even the members who originally lived in Kyoto also stayed with everyone in the dormitory.
"Have you noticed the comments on the Internet recently? Many people say that Huayi is in a bad situation this time and may go bankrupt." On New Year's Eve, everyone prepared hot pot together. During the meal, Meiqi was playing with her mobile phone. said suddenly.
This sentence caused everyone to pause.
"It's hard not to know whether it's good or not. The whole Internet is ridiculing me. It's almost more popular than when I debuted." Yang Xiaoli laughed at himself.
When she debuted as a group from the show, she was really treated as a black eye by the entire Internet. At that time, countless top stars and top traffic artists could not compare to her popularity, but Yang Xiaoli would really rather not have that kind of popularity.
Yang Xiaoli's description also shows how seriously Huayi has suffered from public opinion. It is not an exaggeration to say that the entire network is looking down upon it.
"Then what should we do?" Lai Xiaoqi asked worriedly.
"Cold salad!"
Of course, it is definitely impossible to make a cold dish. The smart thing about cold dishes is cold dishes, but the girls don’t want to just be cold, so this incident also strengthened their previous idea, that is, to change jobs, and it is best to be able to change jobs. Stars.
"Little Carp, has Duoduo contacted you recently?" Meiqi asked.
"No." Yang Xiaoli shook his head and replied: "But she also said when we contacted her before that she would take the initiative to send me a message when she has time. Then we will discuss when to meet."
Xiaojing said with a sad face: "Oh, it's better to hurry up, otherwise our group will be disbanded in a few months."
When it came to disbandment, everyone stopped talking, and an unspeakable atmosphere spread.
After a long time, Yang Xiaoli took the initiative to break the dull atmosphere and said: "Even if we disband, we will be sisters for life. Let's make a promise. Even if we go solo in the future, if anyone does a show, who will be invited?" There is no charge for being on the show.”
"Okay, Yang Xiaoli, you girl is quite smart." As soon as Yang Xiaoli finished speaking, Xuanyi hugged her neck and joked with a smile.
Because among all the people present, the one with the best sense of variety is Yang Xiaoli.
God deprived Yang Xiaoli of her talent for singing and dancing, but gave her the ability to make a living with her face, and at the same time, gave her a unique sense of humor and cleverness.
In the past year or so, Yang Xiaoli has regularly appeared in many first-class variety shows with her own ability. In this respect, she is definitely the best in the whole group, even Zhou Duoduo can't compare.
And this is also a point that Yang Xiaoli's fans are proud of.
Now when someone on the Internet criticizes Yang Xiaoli for not being able to sing and dance, her fans will calmly admit this, but at the same time they will also say, can you be an idol for a lifetime? But our artists can make movies and do variety shows, all of which can be done for a lifetime.
Many people in the company looked at Yang Xiaoli with envy at this time.
Because what Yang Xiaoli's fans said is really true. There are only a handful of people who can sing, dance and be idols until they are thirty years old. Think about the four returning sons. Aren't they now ridiculed by many post-00s as uncles pretending to be young?
Of course, if singing and dancing are really outstanding, even if it is just one of them, being able to be the best in the industry will naturally give you the opportunity to continue performing, but for several girls, this requirement is obviously a bit high.
Among them, even those who are the best in singing and dancing are actually ordinary types in the entertainment industry. Their excellence is only compared to the small group of trainee idols.
So although everyone can sing and dance better than Yang Xiaoli, they still can't help but envy her talent.
"Why don't we send a New Year's greeting message to Duoduo?" Yami suggested, and everyone agreed after hearing it.
At this time, Zhou Duoduo was watching the Spring Festival Gala at home with her family.
Although many people say that the Spring Festival Gala is getting worse year by year, it is still a must-see program for many Chinese people on New Year's Eve every year, and Zhou Duoduo's family is no exception.
"Teacher Song finally got on the Spring Festival Gala once, why is it just reciting? It would be great if she performed a skit." Zhou Jianguo couldn't help but say with some disappointment after watching the opening.
It's not that Teacher Song didn't speak well, but in the previous interview, Teacher Song said that this was her last time on the Spring Festival Gala. Everyone thought she was going to perform a skit, but it turned out to be a recitation. It's inevitable that they felt a little disappointed.
After all, Teacher Song's most anticipated performance is still skits.
Zhou Duoduo was about to reply, but a WeChat notification sound interrupted her.
