Chapter 743: New Year, prepare tissues

"What is the Douban score of 'Dying to Survive' now?"

“It’s a little lower than the beginning, but it still maintains a rating of 9.4.”

“This reputation is too high.”

"."

There is only one day left before the Spring Festival, and the top management of Tao Piaopiao is still discussing the deployment of the last shift for the Spring Festival battle.

Li Mu has already finished promoting his film in Shanghai and Guangzhou, and three waves of audiences have watched it, but the Douban score is still that high.

The excellent reputation and spontaneous discussion and publicity by the masses made people who bought Tao Piaopiao feel very uneasy.

As the saying goes, whoever wins the Spring Festival slot wins half the battle.

As the most explosive and fierce schedule of the whole year, this schedule makes people love and hate it.

The reason why we love movies is that it is easy for bad movies to have high box office during this period, just like in previous years. For example, the 14 "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" took in 10 billion yuan at the box office.

If there is anything to hate, of course it is that I cannot make a fortune during this period.

Today, Tao Piaopiao and Maoyan are two platforms that share the world. Both companies are now in a critical period of competing for resources. Whoever takes the first step will be stronger in momentum, regardless of the subsequent impact.

Tao Piaopiao has put in a lot of effort, and even if it cannot win the Spring Festival championship, at least it will not be left behind by too much.

"Mr. Yu, Detective Chinatown 2 is still mainly about joyful detective stories, comedy and suspense, which is a different track from Dying to Survive. We are far behind in terms of reputation.

However, we have an advantage in comedy during this year’s Spring Festival, so I suggest we focus on this aspect.”

Fan Luyuan sees it very clearly. After all, in terms of word of mouth, "Detective Chinatown 2" is far inferior to the first one from the current situation.

But fortunately, this is a comedy, which is very suitable for the Spring Festival period. In addition, the suspense and detective elements also meet the needs of domestic consumers, which can be said to complement each other.

"Well, let's do this for now. During the Spring Festival, the promotion cannot stop. Let the people below take turns to keep a close eye on it."

Yu Yongfu nodded, then thought of something and asked, "How is the negotiation progress for Jiang Wen's new summer movie?

During the Spring Festival, you can pay New Year's greetings, give some gifts, and find more opportunities to talk."

As soon as Yu Yongfu said this, everyone looked at the person in charge of the negotiations.

But at this time, the man's face looked a little ugly. After hesitating for a long time, he stood up and said, "Director Yu, maybe we can't get this resource. According to the information we have learned so far, this movie seems to be more inclined to Maoyan, and the person in charge of the negotiation seems to be deliberately avoiding us."

"."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent for a few seconds, and then fell into a new round of meeting topics.

New Year’s Eve is a day for family reunion and also a day of great joy.

Walking on the street, you will see red lanterns hanging in front of every store, swaying gracefully.

The trees on both sides of the street are wrapped with colorful lights, and various slogans wishing a happy new year are posted everywhere.

There are fewer pedestrians on the streets than usual, as most people are spending the most important night of the year at home with their families.

"It's a pity that we can't set off firecrackers and fireworks during the Spring Festival this year. It lacks a bit of atmosphere. I also want to bring my little one to watch it."

Li Mu was sitting in the courtyard holding the little bun wearing festive red clothes.

"That's okay. We can just drive outside the Fifth Ring Road and have a look."

Liu Yifei smiled, and her slender white hands gently tucked the naughty hair behind her ears. Her hair was swirled up, and she was wearing the same festive red clothes as the little bun, just like a blooming red plum.

At the end of 17, a notice was issued in the capital that the setting off of fireworks and firecrackers would be completely banned, and each district outside the Fifth Ring Road would determine the prohibited or restricted areas on its own.

"."

New Year’s Eve dinner, Spring Festival Gala, red envelopes, each program seems to be indispensable during the Spring Festival.

Of course, giving red envelopes to the little buns is probably the most interesting part.

As he grows older, Xiao Baozi also knows the importance of money and has begun to understand red envelopes. Although he used to hold on to them tightly, he now says to Liu Yifei:
"Mom, my drop"

When holding a red envelope, the little hands will find a place on the body to hide it carefully.

Although in the eyes of adults, it seemed as if it was not hidden at all, the little boy thought he had hidden it very well.

After walking just a few steps, two red envelopes fell out. Li Mu tried to pick them up, but the little boy turned his head and saw Li Mu holding his red envelope. He immediately became unhappy. He walked over step by step with his little feet, his face full of grievance, and he seemed like he was going to cry the next second.

"dad."

"It fell, it fell, daddy found it for you, hide it, hide it"

Li Mu quickly stuffed it in. The little girl started crying, and her mother glared at him fiercely, although she was also laughing at this moment.

"I don't know where she will put it in the end. She can't just keep it on her body like this."

Li Mu returned to the sofa and stopped watching the Spring Festival Gala. The whole family just stared at the little Baozi and the red envelopes she had hidden.

"Find her a box to put it in."

"It has to be put where she can see it, otherwise she will have to search the whole house for it later."

"Ha ha."

"."

The joyful New Year’s Eve passed quickly, and in the early hours of New Year’s Day, all the major Spring Festival movies officially hit the theaters.

"Dying to Survive" ranked first with 36% of the screenings, followed by "Detective Chinatown" with 28.5%.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li's mother also suggested that everyone go to the movies. Li's mother and Liu Xiaoli were also very interested in Li Mu's realistic movie.

Liu Yifei acted like an experienced person and shared with everyone her experience of watching a movie tonight.

"Amu and I will be waiting for you outside. It's too early for you to go into the cinema now, it will affect other people's viewing."

On the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone chose to eat out and then go to the movies after dinner.

Compared to the past, more and more people are eating out during the Chinese New Year in recent years, probably because they have more money in their pockets and more choices.

"You know what, the capital is much quieter this year than in previous years. Many people have gone back home."

Mother Li sighed and said that although the restaurant was still crowded, everyone who drove here noticed that the traffic was slightly less than before.

"It's okay. Tourists will catch up soon. This is the advantage of the imperial capital. It is more obvious in Guangzhou than in other places. I felt it when I went to Guangzhou to promote it."

Li Mu nodded. In fact, the most obvious change was seen from the flow of people.

"."

For the evening movie, Li Mu accompanied his mother Li and Liu Xiaoli to the cinema, but he didn't plan to go in to watch the movie. Just by looking at the people in the cinema and what they were discussing, he knew that "Dying to Survive" was still people's first choice.

It’s just that now most tickets are purchased online, and there are long queues at the ticket machines.

"Times have changed. In the past, people lined up next to the manual workers, but now people line up next to the machines."

When Li Mu heard Li's mother's sigh, he smiled silently without saying anything.

At this time, a group of people came out from the exit. They were probably the audience who came out after the previous show. They came in groups of three or four and talked a lot.

Li's mother, Li Peng and Liu Xiaoli found that most of the audience members had red eyes. Some young girls seemed unable to hold back their tears and held tissues in their hands.

"Mom, did you get the tissues?" Li Mu asked as he saw that the ticket check for this show of "Dying to Survive" was about to start.

"I got it. Xixi just stuffed a pack into me. It should be enough."

"Row"

After the three of them went in, Li Mu immediately returned to the place where Liu Yifei and Xiao Baozi were resting, waiting for the three of them to return from watching the movie.

"Amu, how many tissues will your mother use when she cries while watching your movie?" Liu Yifei had a playful smile on her face.

"Your mom or my mom?"

"Isn't that our mother?"

"Yes, it was our mother, but if you don't tell me which one, how would we know who hit who?" Li Mu spread his hands.

"."

The two of them were probably bored from waiting and started discussing irrelevant issues.

"."

The movie lasted nearly two hours, and Li Mu calculated the time accurately. He went to pick up the person at about the right time.

Liu Yifei naturally couldn't go because she was too recognizable and sometimes even the mask couldn't cover it. It was better for her to stay with the little bun.

However, what Li Mu and Liu Yifei didn't know at this time was that when the time was almost over, the pack of tissues had already been used up.

"Auntie, do you still need tissues? I have some here."

A young girl also had tears visible to the naked eye, but they were not clear in the theater. She wiped her tears and handed over a new pack of tissues.

"Thank you!"

Neither the mother nor Liu Xiaoli felt embarrassed because they really needed to wipe away their tears.

Perhaps because emotions are contagious, many people could be heard sobbing quietly in the theater.

"Auntie, it's okay. Li Mu's movie is so tear-jerking and so good."

"I will definitely support the movies of my favorite director."

This girl also came to watch the movie with her boyfriend. They were both obviously fans of Li Mu and they all praised him.

Mother Li felt a sense of pride at this moment. If they were not in the cinema, she would have told the two that this director was her son.

"What, we're out of tissues?"

Liu Yifei specifically asked about it after she reunited with Li's mother and others, and was a little surprised when she found out.

"It's really well filmed. A couple in our row praised it while watching it. They burst into tears."

Li's mother also described to Li Mu and Liu Yifei what she saw and heard in the cinema today.

"Indeed, you have observed the grassroots very carefully, and you took the photo with great concentration, touching people's hearts."

It was rare for Li Peng to praise.

"Your dad also used a lot of tissues today." Li's mother immediately uncovered all of Li Peng's past.

"It's great. The mood of this movie is just like that. What's wrong with crying a little?"

"Yes Yes Yes"

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this. This was also a fun thing during the New Year.
