During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 747 The fairy’s new uniform is completely black!
Due to the face of several major producers such as China Film, Huayi, and LeTV, although the reputation of "The Crossing (Part 1)" has completely collapsed, the theater chains still have not adjusted the screening rate and screening time.

But even so, it couldn't save the film from its decline.

When the box office figures came out the next day, everyone in the industry knew: "The Crossing" was a complete failure!

"Directed by Wu Baige, the epic blockbuster "The Crossing (Part 1746)" grossed million yuan on the second day of its release. With the same screening rate, the daily closing price fell by more than %, and the film's potential has been exhausted!"

"The great director Wu Baige said that The Crossing is divided into two parts, and the audience needs to watch the whole film to appreciate the profound sense of the times in the film and the true meaning of the film."

"."

To be honest, if there hadn't been the precedent of "Red Cliff", Wu Baige's deception might have had some effect.

But obviously, his reputation was so bad that he had no credibility at all in the audience's mind, and "The Crossing (Part 2)" was doomed to sink with the film.

In contrast, "Charlotte's Troubles", which was not favored by the industry before and was even considered by many peers to be a soft persimmon in the Lunar New Year period, has brought great shock to the film industry!

"Exclusively produced by Shanhe Media, directed by Happy Twist directors Yan Fei and Peng Damo, starring Shen Teng, Mary, Wang Zixuan, Allen, Yin Zheng and others, the low-budget comedy "Charlotte's Troubles" grossed 8360 million on its first day of release, a great start!"

"On the first day of its release, "Charlotte's Troubles" received rave reviews and may become a dark horse in the Lunar New Year box office. Director Wei Jin's 10 billion yuan ambition is expected to come true!"

To be honest, when countless colleagues in the industry saw the media reports, their first reaction was disbelief.

"Are you kidding me? The production cost is 30 million, and the first day box office is over 83 million? And that's the box office on a weekday?!"

In Huayi’s office, Wang Zhonglei, who had just woken up from a hangover, saw the statistics of the film department and his eyes widened.

At this moment, he sobered up immediately, because seeing Wei Jin making money was more painful than losing money himself - although he was indeed losing money.

"We should be thankful that the screening rate is only 20%, otherwise this result would have killed the entire Lunar New Year holiday." Wang Zhongjun's tone was full of emotion.

The box office revenue of over 8300 million on the first day, plus the rating of 8.1 on Impression.com, means that "Charlotte's Troubles" has great potential for box office success!

Seeing that there is another movie with a box office of 10 billion, how can he not be envious?

If Huayi had invested in this, the stock price would have taken off!
“Fortunately, it’s three weeks apart from Director Gu’s Micro Love, so it shouldn’t have much of an impact.

What we need to be on guard against are Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" and Xu Ke's "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", which are both coming with great momentum."

As Wang Zhonglei spoke, his tone became a little low. He didn't know what was going on. It seemed that Huayi's blockbusters had never been successful?

The last one seems to be my brother’s “The Chinese Zodiac” from two years ago?

"Well, the competition this year is really too fierce."

Wang Zhongjun also sighed, and then immediately ordered: "Zhong Lei, go to the Propaganda Department and keep an eye on it. The press release related to Micro Love should be distributed soon."

"clear."

Wang Zhonglei also knew that this was Gu Changwei's transformation work, which was related to a series of subsequent arrangements of Huayi, so he forced himself to agree.

As for "The Crossing (Part 1)", the two brothers tacitly did not mention it, as it has completely failed!

As Wang Zhongjun expected, thanks to its word-of-mouth advantage, the box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" continued to rise on the second day of its release, closing at 8860 million.

Although the daily revenue of "Charlotte's Troubles" seems to be slightly lower than that of "Nobody" during the Spring Festival at the beginning of the year, the industry does not dare to take it lightly.

Because everyone knows that this is still a weekday. If it is combined with the weekend, there is a chance that another comedy movie with a daily revenue of over 100 million will be born!
At this moment, the new chairman of Xiaoma Pentium, who had just signed the contract with Zhong Lifang, felt helpless.

I thought that after the sinking of "The Crossing", "So Young" would take over the screening schedule.

Who would have thought that such a low-budget comedy with an investment of 30 million yuan would be so horrific!
So much so that even though "So Young" which was released today is a youth film that is generally favored by the industry, theaters are only willing to give it 15% of the screening time.

Obviously, in the eyes of theaters, "Charlotte's Troubles" has more potential than "So Young".

Now, she only hopes that "Fleet of Time" can withstand the pressure and get off to a good start, so that Xiao Ma can take a breath.

At least, I can turn this year around.
Compared to the nervousness of Xiaoma's top management, Wang Zixuan and the people from Happy Twist have been extremely happy these past two days.

After a roadshow ended, the group accepted the enthusiastic cheers of fans, waved to them with dignity, got on the Coaster, and prepared to rush to the next show.

But as soon as he got in the car, Allen could no longer conceal the excitement on his face: "Brother Teng, are we famous?"

"It's more than just a fire, it's a really, really hot fire, super hot fire!"

Although compared to Allen, Shen Teng had performed on the Spring Festival Gala and witnessed big scenes, but the scene of being cheered and shouted by hundreds of fans still made it difficult for him to calm down.

In comparison, Wang Zixuan, who had participated in several promotional events for "The God of War" and "The Four", looked calmer.

But even so, she was cheering in her heart, because there has never been any promotion where she would not be the core and be praised by many fans!

Especially the role of Qiuya. Although she is the second female lead, in terms of character fullness and memorable points, she is definitely more outstanding than the heroine Mary.

Wang Zixuan believed that this time, she was really going to take off!
Wang Zixuan's success may have to wait until the movie continues to ferment, but Liu Yifei is now soaring into the sky.

In the living room of Xishan Villa, Liu Yifei was seen with her arms around Wei Jin's neck, hanging on him like a koala, as if expressing her longing for him for the past three months.

~~~~
After the endless joy, Wei Jin took the satisfied girl to take a bath, then snuggled up to the head of the bed and listened to her talk about her time on the crew.

In fact, there had been many phone calls and video contacts before, and Wei Jin was basically clear about the affairs of the "Yunnan Worm Valley" crew.

But you have to know that a girl's desire to talk must not be interrupted, and you must show interest and give enough emotional value. Speaking of which, the filming of this play was a little more complicated than Lao Mouzi imagined. It was originally expected to be completed in three months, but it ended up being half a month overdue.

Fortunately, the overall completion rate of "Yunnan Worm Valley" is very high. At least Liu Yifei, who participated in the whole process, expressed great satisfaction.

"Brother, what do you think the final box office of this movie will be?"

"Why are you suddenly concerned about this?"

Wei Jin teased Snow Plum in surprise, which earned him a nice eye roll from Liu Yifei.

"I've worked so hard for so long and have gotten half a degree tan, so of course I still want a good result."

In fact, Liu Yifei still had half a sentence to say.

The box office ceiling of today's film market is constantly rising. Her proud films "Mojin: The Last Dragon" and "Inception" are not so good in China anymore, so she is naturally more anxious.

"Well, it should be about the same. At least 20 billion is entirely foreseeable."

After pondering for a moment, Wei Jin gave his own judgment, but it was not a lie.

Although the film has just been completed and the finished product has not yet been released, he has already seen the filming materials when he was welcoming the crew at the company today.

As long as the subsequent editing and special effects keep up, it will definitely be a thrilling visual feast.

Coupled with Shanhe Media's strong distribution capabilities and the loyal readers of "Ghost Blows Out the Light", the box office will definitely increase by several percent compared to the first part.

A guaranteed minimum of 20 billion is by no means an extravagant hope!

"That's great~~"

When Liu Yifei heard this, a look of joy appeared on her face. She had no doubt about Wei Jin's judgment.

According to the special effects team, the post-production of the film will take about 4-6 months, which will allow it to be released in the second half of next year.

During this period, apart from Jing Tian's "Bad Genius" and Gao Yuanyuan's "The Vanishing Lover", there were no other works released by the Jin girls.

By then, Liu Yifei will be the first among the four great Jin girls to bring in a box office of 20 billion!

Seeing the joy on the girl's face, Wei Jin, who had rested for half an hour, began to move his hands around restlessly again, biting the girl's ear and whispering:
"Yifei, the heroine of 20 billion, how are you going to thank me?"

Hearing this familiar banter and hearing the stirring touch on her thigh, Liu Yifei had no idea what Wei Jin was planning and immediately burst out laughing.

"The movie hasn't even been released yet, and you're asking for benefits in advance. What if it doesn't work out? Wouldn't I be at a huge loss?"

"What you said is that I am not the only one enjoying the benefits."

Wei Jin's rebuttal left Liu Yifei speechless, because there was indeed nothing wrong with what he said.

Tilting her head and thinking for a while, the little girl asked shyly, "What benefit do you want?"

Wei Jin touched the girl's smooth and flat belly and moved closer. "Yifei, did you bring back the tight leather jacket from the crew? Let's try it tonight?"

To be honest, perhaps because the threshold is constantly increasing, Wei Jin is now becoming more and more fond of uniforms.

Compared to being naked and facing each other openly, the excitement of putting on clothes is really stronger, not to mention the role bonus?

Liu Yifei, who likes collecting, reminded him, "You better be gentle, don't tear it up like last time."

"Don't worry, this dress is different from Lu Xueqi's. It won't be torn. Go change into it quickly."

At Wei Jin's urging, Liu Yifei, who was naked, changed into the tight leather jacket of Shirley Yang in the play.
It has to be said that there is indeed a market for youth films. Even with only a 15% screening rate, "Fleet of Time" still performed very well, grossing 5130 million on its first day of release.

After entering the weekend, the box office of this movie soared, approaching the 70 million mark for two consecutive days.

After three days of its first weekend, "Fleet of Time" raked in nearly 1.89 million yuan at the box office, fully demonstrating the advantages of youth films.

But there is no doubt that in the first half of the Lunar New Year holiday, the film with the best box office performance is still "Charlotte's Troubles".

Even with the diversion of "Fleet of Time", "Charlotte's Troubles" still earned nearly 80 million yuan on the third day of its release.

And after entering the weekend, it broke out with unparalleled strength, closing at 1.04 million on Saturday and 1.02 million on Sunday!
In the first five days of the weekend, "Charlotte's Troubles" raked in 4.58 million yuan at the box office!
Some media predicted that according to the current trend, before the release of "One Step Away", "Charlotte's Troubles" will have almost no rivals and will be able to reap the rewards and remain a dark horse to the end!
The end result is that it is likely to achieve better results than "Nobody"!

For a time, countless colleagues in the industry were so envious that their cocks were turning purple: How can this be a dark horse? This is a Pegasus, right?
You know, "Operation Mekong" was just taken off the screen not long ago, while "Interstellar" is still in theaters, and here comes another movie with such horrible profits, and it's an exclusive production!
After expressing their envy, many people began to curse: No wonder they couldn’t make money in the film market, all the money was made by that bastard named Wei.

Perhaps it was because of the pressure brought by "Charlotte's Troubles", or perhaps it was influenced by the hot atmosphere of the Lunar New Year period.

Upcoming movies, such as "Love in the Buff", "One Step Away", "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", "Six Happy Events", etc., have also entered a white-hot publicity stage.

But the most high-profile one among them is Jiang Wen.

Because of the great success of "Let the Bullets Fly" that year, his "One Step Away" was also highly anticipated by the industry and the audience, and was even called the most anticipated blockbuster of this year's Lunar New Year by many media.

So much so that, with still a week left before the release of "One Step Away", pre-sale results on major ticketing websites have already exceeded the 100 million yuan mark, which is terrifying!
This also made Jiang Wen, who was already extremely conceited, even more confident. In front of the media reporters, he made a bold statement:

"'One Step Away' will be the best Chinese-language film in the past 20 years. Even Hollywood can't make a film like this!"

My goodness, when Wei Jin saw the news, there was only one thought in his mind: Jiang Wen’s bullet has been flying for too long, so he must have treated this play as a cruise missile?
"There's only one week left. I hope Jiang Wen can hold on."
