It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 1125: Single-day box office exceeds 6 million? They are all birds of a feather!
The second release of "Pure Mind: Chasing Dreams in Entertainment Industry" only caused a wave of noise in a small range, and did not trigger large-scale discussion and heated debate.

After all, the Spring Festival is just around the corner, and who has the time to bother with such a bad movie?

Following closely behind is the Valentine's Day schedule on February 2th.

It’s a pity that there are no blockbusters released on Valentine’s Day this year, only two low-cost romance films whose costs are so low that they can be ignored.

At the same time, the drama “Never Gone” starring Zhang Ziyi and Huang Xiaoming was also officially taken off the screen on this day.

The box office revenue of 8.89 million yuan instantly made "International Zhang" popular again in the film industry!
As a first-line actress, Zhang Ziyi has very unique and mature experience in seizing opportunities.

As soon as "Never Gone" was released, she officially announced that she and her husband Wang Feng would join "Wife's Romantic Travel Season 2" hosted by Mango TV, which can be said to have brought her a lot of popularity and traffic!
At the same time, Wang Feng’s new song was also released online, which was considered a successful attempt to take advantage of his wife’s popularity.

Valentine's Day passes by in a flash, and New Year's Eve is right around the corner.

In the morning, Chen Fei went to the company and reconfirmed the preparations for several movies that will be released during this year's Spring Festival.

After making sure that everything was prepared correctly, he went to the supermarket again and bought food, drinks and other daily necessities for the New Year. Then he returned to the villa, took Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, and headed straight for the courtyard.

The old man had been waiting for them for a long time.

As soon as the three of them came home in the evening, the ingredients that had been prepared early were put directly into the pot.

For a moment, the house was hot and lively!
"Sissi, sit down! Don't move, there are melon seeds, peanuts, oranges and candies on the table. Take whatever you want and eat it..."

He first arranged the two girls, and then the old man turned around and gave orders to Chen Fei, making him run around in circles.

"The couplets on the high places haven't been put up yet, so go put them up first. And the light bulb in the lanterns is not working, so change it quickly. There is a ladder in the storeroom, go get it yourself, I'll cook, and dinner will be served on time at 7:..."

"okay!"

He stuffed the melon seed shells in his hand into the stove, took off his newly bought suit jacket, and started to work.

Liu Yifei wanted to help make the dumpling filling, but was strictly forbidden by the old man.

"You're a pregnant woman, so don't move around. Be careful not to fall. Isn't there a remote control on the table? Turn on the TV first. It looks like the Spring Festival Gala is about to start."

Shu Chang laughed: "Xixi, don't move, let me do it, let me do it! I'm an expert at making dumpling stuffing."

The girl who came from a poor family has not forgotten her job even though she has become a big star now.

When Chen Fei came back after finishing his work, what he saw were the exquisite dumplings with big fillings that Shu Chang had made.

"Hey? If you have this skill, why didn't you show it off earlier? I have to eat those dumplings with exposed stuffing made by Yifei from time to time."

"Oh! What's the exposed dumpling? Where is it exposed?"

Liu Yifei suddenly became angry and pinched his waist several times, which made Shu Chang beside him laugh.

"Ahem, I'll go serve the dishes." Seeing that he had run into Miss Liu, Fade Chen hurriedly fled.

When all the dishes were served, the Spring Festival Gala on TV officially began.

This year's chief director is not that silly guy Ha Wen, but Yang Dongsheng, a senior program director of CCTV.

The biggest highlight of the whole night was Jay Chou and Cai Weize's magic and song combination show "Confession Balloon".

"Alas, Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei will never be able to appear on the Spring Festival Gala again?"

The old man murmured with regret that he really couldn't understand the skit now and had no idea what it was about.

"It's not possible. Now is the era of traffic. The previous programs are already outdated in the eyes of the leaders above. I'll just watch making dumplings in the future."

"What the hell is making dumplings? It's not like I don't know how to make them. Do I need them to teach me?"

The old man kept complaining, causing Liu Yifei and Shu Chang to cover their mouths and giggle.

The young pregnant woman couldn't stay up late, so Liu Yifei didn't even finish watching the Spring Festival Gala and went to the bedroom to rest.

After helping to clean up the kitchen, Shu Chang excitedly ran off to watch TV series.

Chen Fei even suspected that she had gone crazy. In recent days, she had been following the TV series "Negotiator" starring Yang Mi and Huang Zitao. She even stayed up late to watch the show!

Although the show seemed to have high ratings, he just couldn't get into it because the acting of those two people was just too awkward.

At 11:, the old man couldn't bear it anymore and went to rest.

Chen Fei was quite energetic. He moved a small stove out of the warehouse with great interest and started making tea around the stove.

He has to take over the responsibility of keeping vigil tonight and must stay up until dawn.

As soon as 12 o'clock passed, under his attention, the Spring Festival movie season officially kicked off!
The data on the Maoyan app has been updated in real time. Just after midnight, the comprehensive scheduling data of several movies during the Spring Festival was released.

"Wushuang" ranks first with 32% of the screenings, followed by "Monster Hunt 2" with 27.6% in second place, "Lost in Hong Kong" in third place, followed by "Journey to the West: The Women Kingdom", "White Snake: Origin", "Boonie Bears: The Metamorphosis", and "2.9th Generations" with only % of the comprehensive screening data.

It is obvious that the film that the cinema market is least optimistic about at the moment is "Nineteen Generations of Ancestors" directed by Guo Degang.

Lao Guo said that although he is good at crosstalk, he is not very good at making movies.

After the premiere of "6.2th Generations of Ancestors", Douban only gave him a score of , which made him so angry that he cursed on Weibo.

Now, retribution has come!
~

At dawn on the Golden Rooster Day, Chen Fei went to the warehouse and took out a firecracker, then covered it with an iron tube and set off a silent firecracker.

He actually wanted to fire one into the sky, but after thinking it over, he didn't dare to do it.

After all, the courtyard is too close to Zhongnanhai. If he fires a shot, people will arrive in less than a minute, and it will be difficult to explain then.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after eating dumplings, watching movies becomes the best form of entertainment.

With the arrival of Han Jianu, Zhao Liying, Jing Tian and other maids, the courtyard suddenly became lively.

After voting, everyone finally chose to watch... "Boonie Bears: The Metamorphosis".

It's called "a 'Boonie Bears' style prenatal education for the unborn baby!"

Chen Fei actually had no interest in the film, but Liu Yifei blinked her big eyes and looked at him expectantly.

What else could he do?
Pamper me!

So, a group of people went to a movie theater near their home, booked a VIP screening room, and watched Bald Qiang, Big Bear, and Little Bear with great interest...

While the girls were watching the movie, Chen Fei took out his cell phone and checked the real-time box office data of several current Spring Festival movies.

The first one is... "Monster Hunt 2"? !

Looking at the real-time box office data of "Monster Hunt 3" which has exceeded 2 million RMB, Chen Fei smiled slightly and opened the Douban app.

Looking around, the real-time film review data for this movie has already been released.

Douban score is 6.1, and the overall rating is 3 stars.

"Is the standard of the films that Liang Sir accepts so low now? And that Bai Gejing, it really refreshed my new view of poor acting skills!"

"Haha, the expectations were too high. It's just a rehash of old cliches and a childish plot. I really didn't expect it to turn out like this. It's really bad!"

"I won't talk too much about the content of the movie. Anyway, it didn't give me a refreshing feeling. It's a pity that such a big star like Tony Leung Chiu-wai was wasted. I watched Monster Hunt 1 twice because it was a first-class domestic animation and because of the novel images. But if my baby hadn't wanted to watch Monster Hunt 2, I would have given up. If not for anything else, the overwhelming advertisements really disgusted me!

Just like what my colleague said, how can eating a hamburger be used to promote this movie? Instead of making such an exaggerated promotion, it is better to improve the quality of the film, which is better than anything else. "

"Huh? What's going on? Why can't I buy movie tickets for unpopular time slots? But most of the seats in the theater are empty? Who snatched the tickets? Buying tickets but not watching the movie, isn't that crazy?"

"This movie is far worse than The Greatest Show on Earth. It's really ugly. Ugh! It's shoddy, but it doesn't even have a 3D version. The ticket price is so expensive. Anyone who watches it is a fool."

Looking at these film review data, and then comparing them with the data of "Wushuang" and "Lost in Hong Kong", Chen Fei's smile became even brighter.

As he expected, Jiang Zhiqiang started playing tricks behind his back again.

After sending a text message, Chen Fei put away his phone and never cared about the Spring Festival period again.

There will be a good show to watch in two days, and he can’t wait!

……

The first day of the New Year passed quickly, and after a night, it was already the second day of the New Year.

When Chen Fei woke up early in the morning, he saw the trending searches on Weibo - it exploded!
"Monster Hunt 2, a fantasy, action and comedy film starring Tony Leung, Bai Baihe, Jing Boran and Li Yuchun, grossed 6.13 million yuan on its first day of release."

"On the first day of its release, the box office of "Wushuang" earned 3.41 million RMB - Maoyan app."

"On the first day of its release, Lost in Hong Kong grossed 1.67 million RMB at the box office - Maoyan app."

"On the first day of its release, the box office of Journey to the West: The Women Kingdom earned 1.43 million RMB - Tao Piaopiao app."

"On the first day of its release, Boonie Bears: The Transformation grossed RMB 8736.9 million at the box office."

"On the first day of its release, the box office of '1742.3th Generation of Ancestors' was only RMB 2018 million." "In 13.68, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the total box office for a single day was RMB , successfully setting a new record for the first day box office of domestic films during the Spring Festival!"

"Warm congratulations! Domestic films have entered the era of breaking 6 million yuan in single-day box office, and "Monster Hunt 2" has set a new box office record..."

As expected, with the release of the latest data yesterday, the entire film and television industry and even the entire Internet were shocked by these data!

"Wow, the total box office for the movie in a single day was reported to be 13.68 billion? Oh my god! Isn't this too high?"

"What's going on? The era of 6 million yuan in single-day box office is coming?"

"Pfft, these numbers can't be fake, right? Monster Hunt 2? Single-day box office of 6.13 million? Isn't this too outrageous? This movie alone is worth 6 million? Are you kidding me?"

"No, I have to go check it out today to see how powerful Monster Hunt 2 is that it could actually gross over 6 million yuan in a single day."

"Fuck you, after watching "Wushuang" last night, I wanted to go see "Monster Hunt 2", but I couldn't get a ticket in the middle of the night. I don't know who goes to the movies so late at night?"

As the discussion on the Internet was heated, Chen Fei immediately received a call from Wang Changtian.

"Fuck! This is too outrageous! It's neither a special effects movie nor a sci-fi blockbuster. How can it get 6 million at the box office? And I checked online and there are definitely more bad reviews than good ones. How can it get 6 million?"

Wang Changtian has begun to doubt his life.

You know, the movie "Boonie Bears: The Big Change", in which Guangxian participated in the investment, has already soared to 9.2 in online ratings.

Even so, the movie's first-day box office was only over 7600 million.

But how could "Monster Hunt 2" earn over 6 million yuan on its first day?

Chen Fei laughed: "If you take a look at the comprehensive screening data of "Monster Hunt 2" today, as well as the stock price of Anle, you will know the reason, right?"

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone. It was obvious that Wang Changtian had gone to check the data.

"Wow! Yesterday the overall film schedule was 27%, today it's 35%, and the stock market has even reached its daily limit..."

"Have you reached a conclusion?"

"It was brushed! It must have been brushed! There's absolutely no way to escape..."

Wang Changtian's tone was very certain, because other than "boosting the box office", he simply couldn't imagine how "Monster Hunt 2" could possibly get such high box office data?
"Okay, let's not talk about it for now. Mr. Han called. I'll answer it first."

After saying hello, Chen Fei cut off the call with Wang Changtian and answered the call from Han Sanping.

"What's the situation with Monster Hunt 2?"

Obviously, almost no one in the industry believed that the first-day box office figure of 6 million yuan could be achieved by "Monster Hunt 2".

"I have collected a lot of evidence that the box office data of Monster Hunt 2 is fake." Chen Fei said frankly.

He has been keeping an eye on Edko Films and "Monster Hunt 2" recently.

He originally thought that this time it would take a lot of effort to successfully get the evidence.

But he really didn't expect that the other party's operating methods were so low-level and so inferior, just like a child playing house.

Ghost theaters, water injection in private theaters, substitution of one thing for another, fake group purchases, ticket subsidy fraud, forced bundling, robot ticket swiping, induced ticket swiping, data tampering, free tickets to make up the number...

In order to make "Monster Hunt 2" a hit, Enlight Entertainment has put a lot of effort into it.

With all the means at their disposal, they managed to get a box office of 6 million on the first day, making rapid progress and maximizing their commercial interests...

Isn't this just fooling fools?
"Ugh!"

Han Sanping sighed deeply, feeling helpless.

He really couldn't understand what this La Peikang was doing and why he was hanging out with those people in the Hong Kong circle?
What era is this? People are still thinking about the old-fashioned term "united front".

……

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the explosive power of the Spring Festival movies seemed much weaker than on the first day.

"Monster Hunt 2" plummeted 2.56 million and earned 3.57 million yuan.

"Wushuang" earned 3.2 million yuan at the box office, only 2000 million yuan less than the previous day.

"Journey to the West: The Women Kingdom" plummeted by half compared to the previous day, earning only 9419.64 million.

"Boonie Bears: The Big Change" earned 6801 million, 811 million less than the previous day.

The fluctuation of "100th Generations of Ancestors" was not too big, only million less than the previous day. The large number of big-name guest appearances in the film barely supported the film's box office performance.

Only "Lost in Hong Kong" directly ushered in a wave of reverse growth, and the box office soared to 2.13 million the next day, a full 4000 million more than the previous day!
It can be seen from the online film review data that netizens have given extremely high support and praise to Wang Baoqiang's first film as a director.

Of course, this is also the reason why the quality of the film itself is high enough.

"Haha, the combination of Huang Bo and Bao Qiang is so interesting. From the beginning, brother-in-law Cai Lala pestered Xu Lai, and all kinds of coincidences happened one after another. The theater was full of laughter. It can be called a great stress-relieving movie!"

"The various tributes to Hong Kong films in the movie, from classic Cantonese songs to familiar Hong Kong street scenes, immediately brought me back to the glorious golden age of Hong Kong films. This wave of nostalgia is amazing."

“I personally think the visuals in the movie are amazing. The streets and alleys of Hong Kong are so tastefully captured. The bustling urban streets, the alleys full of fireworks, and the cross-border scenes are like a visual journey.”

"I never expected that Baoqiang would come up with such a conscientious masterpiece in his first film as a director. I have to give him a big thumbs up!"

"It also has elements of Hong Kong movies, but I just think that "Wushuang" and "Lost in Hong Kong" are much better than "Monster Hunt 2". I don't know who is watching that movie?"

"What the hell? This Spring Festival, Monster Hunt 2 won't be the box office champion, right? Isn't this too outrageous?"

……

The three days of the first weekend passed in a flash, and the fourth day of the Lunar New Year arrived as scheduled.

With the latest box office data coming out, "Monster Hunt 2" has once again become a hot topic!

In three days, the total box office was 14 billion. Yesterday, the single-day box office unexpectedly ushered in a wave of reverse growth, earning 4.3 million...

With all these data combined, honors such as "Monster Hunt 2 is a big hit at the box office", "The fourth member of the 4 billion box office club is about to be born", and "Box office champion of the 40 Spring Festival" were all bestowed on this movie.

At this time, Enlight Pictures was already immersed in a sea of ​​joy.

Bottles of champagne were opened and the sounds of celebration were heard everywhere. This can be regarded as a tradition in the Hong Kong circle.

But if Chen Fei stood here today, he would definitely warn them that opening champagne at halftime is not a good behavior, because you never know what will happen if you get slapped in the face in the next second.

"Come on, let's raise our glasses together! Congratulations to Monster Hunt 2 for breaking 3 billion in 14 days! I hope the movie will break 40 billion at the box office soon!"

Led by Jiang Zhiqiang, everyone raised their glasses and chorused:
"If the box office continues at the current level, let alone 40 billion, maybe we can even try to hit 50 billion, hahahaha."

"The box office champion during the 2018 Spring Festival. Wow, I never thought we would have such a glorious day."

"As expected, it is still the actors from Hong Kong who can carry the box office. Tony Leung Chiu-wei is much better than that Jing Po-ran, hahahahahaha."

"So, can the preparations for Monster Hunt 3 be put on the agenda?"

"Monster Hunt 3? Hahaha, can it win the annual championship again during the Spring Festival next year? I think it can."

There was constant heated discussion at the scene and everyone had a smile on their face, including Jiang Zhiqiang.

However, at this moment, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

He took out his phone and saw the name "La Peikang" on the caller ID. He quickly pressed the answer button and greeted him with a smile: "Mr. La, Happy New Year..."

"Happiness, what the hell! Jiang Zhiqiang? Tell me! What's going on with the box office of Monster Hunt 2? Why did it earn 14 billion? Did you inflate the box office again?"

"Boss La, what are you talking about? I don't understand. What do you mean by box office boosting..."

"Haha, great! You're really good! I've discovered that all of you in the Hong Kong circle are the same, including you and Wu Yu, you're all a bunch of idiots... Toot toot toot..."

The call was hung up directly. Jiang Zhiqiang was confused and didn't react for a while.

After all, he did it so secretly...

However, at this moment, the secretary suddenly rushed in from outside the door: "Director Jiang, please check the Internet, something big has happened!"

Jiang Zhiqiang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he quickly asked, "What's going on?"

The secretary took out his cell phone, opened Weibo, and found an article that had already topped the Weibo hot search list.

Jiang Zhiqiang turned his head and his face suddenly changed when he saw the title. His legs suddenly went limp and he collapsed to the ground powerlessly!

[A collection of the box office success of "Monster Hunt 2", come and watch! ]
