Chapter 348 Engagement Day

"Feng Xiaogang is not afraid of "Pi" and is confident that it will earn 14 million at the box office within 4 days of its release!"

"The box office of "The King's Feast" exceeded 300 million and I married Qin Lan!"

Seeing that "Pi" is like a tiger, these two movies are starting to panic as they prepare to enter next week.

Lu Xun directly promoted his life-long events.

I have to say, this approach is still somewhat useful.

At least netizens are talking about it.

"This is making excuses for not marrying other girls."

"Why does it feel like no one wants Qin Lan!"

"How can anyone yell at the box office like this? Does he dare to say that they will break up if the box office exceeds 300 million?"

"If you want to get married, get married as soon as possible. If you don't want to get married, don't waste Qin Lan's youth. How shameless is it to speculate on your girlfriend for the sake of box office?"

It's hard to comment on whether the effect is good or not, but the buzz definitely overshadowed "1942".

Feng Xiaogang couldn't stop laughing:

"I don't have much ability, but I've learned a lot about hype."

However, he didn't pay much attention to Lu Xun's "The King's Feast". At this time, Li Bian's "Young Pi" was so powerful that he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.

Just as the fight between the two gangs was in full swing, Mengying Media's "囧囧" viewing party was also held.

Many theaters and media were invited to participate.

Everyone was very interested in the 10 billion bet. The media that came this time almost filled the entire screening room, and another screening had to be held temporarily.

Li Mu was able to get it right. The publicity about gambling worked better than any other publicity.

Anyway, movie fans all know about it, and the media is talking about it even more.

"Nervous?" Li Mu looked at Xu Zheng who looked nervous, as if he was undergoing a test.

"Director Li, are you not nervous about this? One billion."

Xu Zheng wiped away a cold sweat.

"You don't have to pay, so what are you afraid of? On the other hand, this is a good thing. If it succeeds, you will become famous."

Li Mu patted his shoulder and laughed.

"According to me, yes, you are a hammer."

"That's right, Director Li is here, don't be afraid, the movie we acted is not bad."

Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang said each other, but Xu Zheng didn't feel any comfort at all.

Li Mu also understands that this is a debut novel after all, and the meaning of it is still different.

"By the way, Bao Qiang, I've been very proud of myself recently. My beautiful wife has given birth to a baby again." Huang Bo wanted to change the topic and relieve Xu Zheng's pressure.

"The "campus beauty" of Northwest University, tell me how they fell in love with you in the first place."

Xu Zheng also joked.

"What the hell, we fell in love at first sight! When we first met, we felt that each other was our future partner!"

When Wang Baoqiang talked about this, his face lit up with sweetness.

"Come on, it was love at first sight, Lao Xu, believe it or not." Huang Bo, who is really the best bad friend, teased.

"Do not believe."

"Director Li, what about you?"

"To be honest, Baoqiang is still very honest, and it's normal for girls to like him." Li Mu said with a serious face.

"Look, look at you, what Director Li said makes sense."

"But I don't believe it either." Li Mu suddenly changed the subject and stabbed him.

Everyone burst out laughing.

But seeing Wang Baoqiang smiling too, Li Mu hesitated.

At this time, the screening room was full of people, the lights gradually dimmed, and the film slowly started.

Then there was laughter one after another, which made Xu Zheng's mood relax a lot.

Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo were even more excited.

Show ends.

"How about it, not bad." Li Mu smiled.

"Director Li has great vision."

"Director Li, SMG will consider increasing the number of films in the schedule."

"Hahaha, Director Li can rest assured on Wanda's side."

After watching it, the theaters immediately had a completely different view of "囧".

Although I don’t know if it can break 10 billion, it will definitely not be bad at the box office. This comedy is perfect for the Lunar New Year or Spring Festival period.

"At the preview screening of "囧囧", theaters have expressed that they will increase the film schedule of "囧囧", and the gambling agreement may not be impossible to complete."

"Mengying Media once again proved its vision in the industry. The preview of "囧囧" directed by Xu Zheng was full of laughter."

"'Lost in Thailand' is very likely to become a dark horse in the Lunar New Year festival!"

The media have commented one after another, praising it directly as a very exciting comedy with endless jokes and worth watching.

This immediately put "1942" and "A Feast for the King" on the fire.

There is a wolf in front and a tiger behind.

"Real or fake? Promotional materials released by Mengying Media?"

Lu Xun didn't quite believe the reports on the Internet. Why were there so many dark horses?

At this moment, Li Mu received a call from Li's mother from Yangcheng.

"mom."

"I went to the Nanhua Temple in Shaocheng to find someone to calculate the fate of you and Qianqian, and I have already calculated it." Mother Li said slowly.

"I thought you were going to Nanguo Taoyuan in Buddha City. Why did you go to Nanhua Temple?"

Nanguo Taoyuan is very close to Yangcheng, but Nanhua Temple in Shaocheng is much further away.

"Ling over there." "Okay, what do you say, master?" Li Mu turned on the speakerphone directly, letting the curious Liu Yifei listen.

Anyway, these masters will definitely listen to it.

"The master said that you are in the year of Jiazi, the month of Jiashen, the day of Jiayin, and the hour of Jiachen, and Qianqian is the year of Dingmao, the month of Yiyou, the day of Yimao, and the hour of Bingzi."

Mother Li said slowly.

I have to say that the masters still have their own way of speaking. It seems like this, there is always a weak connection.

But Liu Yifei listened very seriously.

"Mom, there are so many good things to say. Where is the most important day?"

Li Mu felt that the whole article was filled with all kinds of horoscopes, everything was going well, he was A and she was B.

"The master said that October would have been the best time, but you happened to be both born in August. Two eights are unlucky, and August is also very suitable."

"It's not for nothing. I was planning on doing it in August."

"How can this be in vain?"

Mother Li was very dissatisfied with Li Mu's perfunctory attitude.

Liu Yifei on the side was all smiles, listening to Mother Li's thoughts.

"So I chose a day in August, and finally turned over the almanac and saw that there are about ten days in August that are suitable for getting engaged and getting married. The 8th is also the right day, so in the end it was the day I chose at the beginning."

"." Mother Li suddenly discovered this.

"Mom, did you tell the master from the beginning that I wanted to set the date on August 8th?"

"I told you, what's wrong?" Mother Li was puzzled.

"It's okay, life is going well, so let's stick to the original plan."

Li Mu smiled.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei laughed suddenly in Li Mu's arms.

"You are so bad. Do you mean that my aunt was deceived?"

"Actually, it's not. It's just words. Everyone picks them up and says it nicely, and the same goes for fortune tellers. Whether you believe it or not actually depends on the individual, but we still believe in these."

Li Mu explained.

"It's okay to have a little faith."

Liu Yifei smiled sweetly.

"1942" and "A Feast for the King" even had their premieres on the same day.

Whoever loses will lose, this is probably the principle.

Anyway, I can’t lose in terms of face.

However, compared with Feng Xiaogang's media attendance, Lu Xun's was much smaller.

Even the media reports that came out that day said that "1942" crushed "The King's Feast", and there were endless articles about the film, and they were all full of praise.

Oriental Morning Post: Not just a forgotten disaster.

Beijing News: The surprising "1942".

Ma Weidu: "1942" is painful.

On the other hand, "The King's Feast" received very little coverage.

"This Feng Xiaogang is going too far."

Lu Xun was furious. Even the media couldn't get it, so how could they compete for the box office?

At this time, Feng Xiaogang was in high spirits, and he had already received feedback from the media and film critics.

Everyone praised this movie as even better than "Earthquake".

"Sure enough, suffering can penetrate deeply into people's hearts."

Feng Xiaogang was filled with pride. The movie was so painful that he couldn't help but shed a few tears after watching it. He even spoke on social media that night:

"The reason why I don't make a prediction this time is because I'm afraid of underestimating the box office of this movie."

"Director Li, Director Li. As the only comedy in this year's Lunar New Year festival, there are rumors in the circle that it will be the dark horse of the Lunar New Year festival. What do you think?"

When Li Mu attended an event held in his cinema, he was chased by reporters and asked.

“Too many people say it’s a dark horse, but it’s not a dark horse. A ‘dark horse’ refers to a movie that everyone doesn’t like, but in the end it suddenly becomes a hit.

If both the industry and ordinary audiences are optimistic about "囧", it means that this movie is no longer a dark horse."

"So this billion dollar bet, is it possible for "囧囧" to be achieved?"

"I think it depends on whether the audience likes it or not. The audience is the decisive factor."

On that day, "1942" and "The King's Feast" were not released at the box office, but "囧囧" was reported first.

"Director Li said that "Lost in Thailand" is not a dark horse!"

"One billion bets, the audience is the key."

Feng Xiaogang sat calmly on his office chair.

"What's the data?"

"Director Feng, more than 2600 million." The assistant wiped his eyes, thinking he didn't see clearly.

"what?"

Feng Xiaogang stood up immediately, "How is that possible?"

Feng Xiaogang didn't quite believe it. You must know that this movie has a screening rate of 46% in theaters across the country. Even the original "Painted Skin 2" did not have such a high screening rate.

This 2600 million box office may be high for other movies, but for "", which has high hopes, it is not ideal.

"The reputation has collapsed?" After reading the data, Feng Xiaogang immediately turned around and went to check the reputation.

"I watched "1942" for two and a half hours, and it was an indescribable feeling! Just two words: sad! Director Feng used a famine to explain to us what human nature is and what war is!"

""1942" is a movie that you need to watch with your parents. In modern China, there is too much forgotten, omitted, and changed history, waiting to be excavated and exposed. Only by facing history squarely can we be grateful to live. The beauty of being in the moment!”

Whether it's on social media or movie reviews on major forums, it's all well received.
