During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 815 Voting Results X Boss Wei's Harem √ Almost Discovered by the Rich Flower

Despite being a low-budget film, the director was Yu Feihong, a non-professional director who had previously suffered significant losses.

However, given the reputation Shanhe Media has built up over the years, coupled with a considerable number of screenings, "Go Away Mr. Tumor" still performed brilliantly.

On its opening day, it raked in a whopping 5688 million yuan at the box office!
Moreover, it has a very good reputation online, with a score of 7.8 on Impression.com and many positive reviews in the comments section.

"This is the first time I've ever seen anything like this. It's clearly a tragic drama, but I didn't shed a single tear the whole time. Instead, I was laughing so hard my stomach almost hurt. It was hilarious!"

"The script adaptation is excellent. It retains the martial arts, animation, parody, and horror elements of the original work very well. Director Yu Feihong's handling is also very natural and harmonious. I recommend it!"

"Gao is not bad either. Although she's not exactly beautiful, she gives off a clean vibe, and her slightly goofy and silly appearance is quite endearing. Hmm, she's also quite pitiful."

"Indeed. Gao Ye's character is absolutely hilarious, it's just awful."

"The plot, pacing, and acting are all above average; highly recommended!"

"."

Without a doubt, Yu Feihong's comeback project has been a success!

Based on its opening day performance and word-of-mouth, "Go Away Mr. Tumor" is expected to gross at least 500 million yuan.

Unfortunately, despite such a stunning start, Yu Feihong and the rest of the film's creators failed to trend on social media.

Even this Saturday, there wasn't much coverage of the film's box office performance in the entertainment section.

Because looking around, the headlines of major portal websites and the top ten trending topics on Weibo are all related to the voting results of "Eternal Love," leaving no room for other news!

The results of the online poll for the large-scale period romance film "Once Upon a Time," primarily controlled by Ali Pictures, are as follows:

女主角票选前五名：刘一菲（873000+票）、景恬（794000+票）、杨密（628000+票）、刘师师（583000+票）、白彬（516000+票）；

男主角票选前五名：陈骁（468000+票）、吴一凡（447000+票）、李易枫（412000+票）、杨阳（388000+票）、胡戈（361000+票）”

"Zhang Zhao, president of Ali Pictures, stated that he will communicate and consult with the aforementioned 10 individuals and their teams as soon as possible to finalize a cast that meets audience expectations and to fulfill his previous promise."

According to sources within Ali Pictures, the company has repeatedly increased its budget for actor salaries in order to finalize the cast, with the final investment potentially exceeding 500 million yuan.

"."

At this moment, netizens and fans are extremely excited, cheering for their idol and hoping to attract Ahri's attention.

Perhaps in their view, the voting results are only one factor among many, and even if they are important, they are not unchangeable!
Compared to the excitement of the fans, there were even more people online having fun, with many making jokes under Wei Jin's Weibo posts.

"Including Fan Bingbing in eighth place and Gulnazar in ninth, this isn't a vote for the leading lady, it's a popularity ranking of Boss Wei's harem."

"I must admit, when it comes to aesthetics, Mr. Wei certainly has a good eye; they're all my type. So, if we round it up, am I any different from the richest man?"

"It's a pity that Boss Wei didn't campaign for votes, so he could only come in ninth place. Otherwise, if he were the male lead, it would be so interesting no matter who he's paired with."

"What are you thinking? How could Boss Wei possibly film this kind of movie? It would be too beneath him."

In fact, it's not just the netizens who are feeling regretful; the entire team behind Ahri is also very disappointed.

In their view, Wei Jin's status as an internationally renowned director and Asia's richest man makes him the most suitable male lead for this film.

Unfortunately, netizens weren't supportive enough to push Wei Jin into the top five; otherwise, regardless of whether he accepted the invitation, his popularity would definitely be high.

With a touch of regret, Ahri's employees began working as Zhang Zhao had instructed, inviting the top ten favorites in the polls.

I never expected that the first phone call would be such a failure!
"What did you say? Are you sure? This is 'Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms,' a major IP, a leading female character, a top Hollywood special effects team, and a top-tier cast in the industry."

"Yes, I'm sure. Sister Yifei is currently filming Director Zhang's 'Shoplifters,' and she also has promotional activities for 'Yunnan Insect Valley' scheduled, as well as publicity for various brands. She simply doesn't have the time."

"How about this, Ms. Liu, could you please take a leave of absence from the film crew to attend our IP expansion meeting and learn more about the project?"

"I'm sorry, I really don't have time. Also, to be frank, Sister Yifei isn't interested in 'Eternal Love'."

Participating in the vote wasn't her intention; it was purely a spontaneous act by her fans. You don't need to call anymore, okay? That's all.

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, the employee who made the call was completely bewildered.

Is the female assistant at Red Starwood really that arrogant? Does she not even need to ask the boss for permission?
But then came a chill down my spine, because Liu Yifei was voted number one, and the company president, Zhang Zhao, had specifically instructed that she was the highest priority actress!
"What should we do now?"

"Let's report this to General Manager Zhang. We can't get in touch with him, and no one from Hongxingwu will give us their contact information."

"Yes, report it. Hongxingwu is indeed a bit special. Liu Yifei herself is incredibly lazy, she has neither money nor resources, so it's really not easy to sway her."

"Okay, let's contact Jing Tian again. If she can answer, that's fine too."

That evening, when Wei Jin arrived at Dongshan Villa, he heard Jing Tian say that she had clearly declined Ali's invitation.

"Brother, do you think I should issue a statement? I see a lot of fans are looking forward to it."

Wei Jin shook his head. "Don't bother with it or explain. Just pretend you don't know anything about it. Because whatever you do is just helping Ahri generate buzz, there's no need for that."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Fu Guihua nodded obediently, then asked with some curiosity, "Brother, I see that several artists from the company have been selected. Will they accept the offer?"

"I don't know about that, but whether you accept it or not is up to you, I won't interfere."

Wei Jin's words were not just empty talk. After Yang Mi's "Tiny Times" series, he understood a principle: "Don't advise others to be good if you haven't experienced their suffering!"

Although this statement is somewhat inappropriate in this context, it must be acknowledged that people have different needs for resources and different pursuits in their careers.

The Wei and Jin dynasties had neither the need, the ability, nor the resources to make everyone act according to their ideas.

Anyway, he had already explained the situation of the show very clearly when the news was announced, so whether they listen to it or not is up to them.

"That's it"

Jing Tian didn't dwell on the topic, but instead sighed, "I didn't expect Brother Chen to be so fierce this time, actually making it to first place."

"Yeah, he was lucky. He just happened to benefit from the success of 'Joy of Life 2,' otherwise I doubt he would have even made it into the top three," Wei Jin remarked with some emotion.

This drama premiered on Shanghai TV and Jiangsu TV at the beginning of the month, and its performance was amazing, thanks to the reputation of its predecessor and the popularity of the original novel!

Not only did its premiere achieve a viewership rating of 2.23%, but its market share also exceeded 15%, directly suppressing "The Journey of Flower," which was already at its climax, and ranking first in the same time slot nationwide.

As the plot progressed, the ratings for "Joy of Life 2" continued to climb, with good news coming one after another.

Less than two weeks after its premiere, the show has already achieved a peak viewership rating of over 3, with an average rating of 2.58%! According to predictions from the company and the TV station, it's almost certain that the show will achieve an average rating of over 3.

Perhaps the second installment did not perform as well as its predecessor.

However, it should be noted that this is two years later, and the ratings of major TV stations are no longer comparable to what they were before.

Achieving this result is already quite remarkable, and with an average viewership rating exceeding 3, it has a real chance to compete for the top spot of the year.

In addition, the online streaming results of "Joy of Life 2" on Tudou were also amazing, with over 100 million views on the first day and a cumulative total of over 15 billion views!
All these data points combined suggest that while "Joy of Life 2" may not be a phenomenon, it is certainly a super hit.

The boost that such a popular TV series provides to the actors' national popularity is obvious.

In just the two weeks since the show aired, Chen Xiao has appeared on Weibo's trending topics 17 times.

Baidu search index also doubled, and Weibo followers surged by more than six million, with an average of three to four hundred thousand new followers every day.

Under these circumstances, it's not surprising that he was able to surpass Wu Yifan, who has a large number of brainless fans, and top the online poll for Ahri!

It's a pity that Hu Ge didn't get to experience the explosive success of "Nirvana in Fire" and "The Disguiser," otherwise, even with his age disadvantage, he would definitely have been in the top three.

"By the way, brother, there's something I find quite strange."

Wei Jin embraced Fu Guihua's soft, delicate body, buried his head in her dark hair and took a deep sniff before asking, "What is it?"

"Why do I feel like Professor Yu is getting younger and younger?"

Jing Tian looked at Yu Feihong with suspicion. Although she was not very familiar with her, they were in the same circle and had to deal with each other on various occasions.

For example, at last year's Bazaar Charity Night, she had a face-to-face conversation with Yu Feihong, and at that time she only thought that this famous "ageless beauty" in the industry was well-maintained.

But in less than a year, in Jing Tian's eyes, Yu Feihong's energy and overall condition were remarkably youthful.

"It's probably because they can pursue what they love and have something to hold onto in their hearts, so they're in good spirits, which manifests physically as a youthful appearance. Traditional Chinese medicine says, 'The spirit governs the body.'"

Wei Jin remained expressionless and delivered a long speech, but in reality, he was in a state of panic.

To be honest, Wei Jin never expected that the most observant person would be the usually clueless Fu Guihua.

But on second thought, it makes sense. Gao Yuanyuan was probably too close to Yu Feihong. She met and chatted with her quite often, so she wasn't too surprised.

On the contrary, it is people like Jing Tian, ​​who are suddenly not seen for a long time, who will notice the inconsistencies in the situation.

"Is that right?"

"How would I know? Maybe she's in a relationship, or maybe she's found some beauty secrets. But it's their private matter, so let's not pry."

Wei Jin didn't intend to continue the conversation, but he didn't want to end it abruptly, so he used his skills to try and distract Fu Guihua.

With his other hand, he reached around the woman's waist and slipped his hand over her shapely buttocks, which were nestled deep in the sofa.

The effect was very obvious. In no time, Jing Tian forgot about it and took the initiative to kiss him.

After a passionate kiss, Wei Jin decisively picked up the already aroused Fu Guihua and headed towards the bathroom.
Over the weekend, there was a lot of speculation online about the casting of "Eternal Love".

Meanwhile, various brokerage firms and celebrity studios are also pulling in behind the scenes, engaging in all sorts of collusion and transactions.

However, after two days, the online buzz gradually cooled down, and the headlines and trending topics were replaced by various new news.

"The fantasy period comedy blockbuster 'Monster Hunt,' co-produced by Edko Films, Blue Starry Sky, Digital Culture Impression, and Wanda Pictures, and starring Jing Boran, Bai Baihe, Jiang Wu, Wallace Chung, Eric Tsang, and others, concluded its run last night."

"After 31 days in theaters, 'Monster Hunt' has grossed a total of 17.28 billion yuan, topping the summer box office charts!"

Edko Films has announced that it will begin preparations for "Monster Hunt 2" immediately, with the original cast and crew returning and a larger investment!

"Produced by Shanhe Media, directed by Yu Feihong, and starring Gao Ye, Luo Jin, Ma Sichun, Jiao Junyan, and others, the inspirational comedy film 'Go Away Mr. Tumor' raked in 1.83 million yuan at the box office in its opening weekend, showing strong momentum!"

"The domestically produced animated feature film 'Monkey King: Hero Is Back,' manufactured by Shanhe Media and produced by October Culture, has grossed 11.73 billion yuan in its first 18 days of release, with daily box office revenue still hovering around 30 million yuan, indicating significant potential."

Le Vision Pictures and Huace Pictures officially announced today that the film adaptation of "Love O2O" has been officially approved and is now open for casting in the film and television industry.

"The romantic comedy film 'Lu Yao Knows Ma Li,' produced by Huayi Brothers, directed by crossover director Wen Zhang, and starring Bao Beier, Song Jia, and Zhu Yawen, has wrapped up filming today."

"."

Perhaps in an effort to boost the stock price, Edko Films bought a lot of press releases.

In particular, the topics of "summer box office champion" and "Monster Hunt 2 project approved" were directly pushed to the top of the trending searches.

However, both within the industry and online, there has been constant ridicule surrounding this.

"It's hilarious! They ripped off a box office number one spot and have the nerve to rave about it? They have no shame whatsoever."

"I'm really curious now, if this movie were to be shown normally, how much box office revenue would it likely generate?"

"As someone working in the film and television industry, I can answer the question upstairs with certainty. Normally, the box office of this film will probably be around 10 billion yuan."

"Holy crap, does this mean they either cheated or inflated the box office figures and made over 7 million? How the hell are they going to break even?"

"Heh heh, why make a sequel if they can't even break even? Aren't the retail investors easy to fleece?"

"Damn, this kind of company deserves to be blacklisted by Boss Wei! I'm planting my flag in advance, and if a sequel comes out, I'll boycott it!"

"Seconded!"

"+1"

"+10086!"

"."

In his office, Wei Jin looked at the online comments and felt quite gratified. Demons and monsters like Edko Films should be condemned by the entire internet.

However, Jiang Zhiqiang still hoped to reverse the decline with "Monster Hunt 2", and Wei Jin was thinking that he would take advantage of the situation.

"A long road stretches before me, searching for your departing figure; warm love fades like a shooting star. I hope you'll forgive me for not asking why, but I wish that this feeling resonates within you now as well."

The singer's magnetic voice rang out, reminding Mr. Wei that he had a new call coming in.

"Huh? Baoqiang?"
