China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 785 Li Yu was pressed to the ground and rubbed
There are not many actors in China who can carry the box office, and Shen Teng should be one of them.

He really has a talent for comedy. If other actors were to perform some of the gags, the effect might not be so obvious, but when he performs them, it makes people feel all kinds of mysterious funny.

Li Yu feels that if Shen Teng can always come across comedy scripts of the quality of "Charlotte's Troubles" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

Even if he plays everything like Charlotte, he can still become a contemporary comedy master after acting in eight or ten films.

Unfortunately, such scripts are not always available.

Therefore, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is Shen Teng's peak.

However, there is still a long way to go before he can be awarded the title of contemporary comedy master.

After Stephen Chow retired behind the scenes, Shen Teng is indeed the number one in the comedy film field.

The comedy movies starring him are centered around him. He does not need a famous actress with strong acting skills to cooperate with him. He can just put a vase female lead to create a contrast, and then bring in some generally funny supporting actors to make a box-office high-grossing movie.

The quality of these movies is not necessarily very high. Their main feature is to be simple and crude. They don't engage in obscure content or any messy ideological education to the audience. They are simply for entertainment and to make the audience happy.

The most important thing about watching a movie is to have fun.

Shen Teng can perform stably most of the time and make everyone laugh.

So people have a good impression of him, and many people are willing to pay for a movie after hearing that he is the one acting in it.

In the previous life, many people complained that the original leading female role, Mali, was replaced in the movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City" because the female lead brought money into the crew.

Many fans of Shen Teng and Mali were upset.

I think the movie would have been better if Marley had been in it.

After all, Shen Teng and Mali have been partners on stage in sketches for many years, and their cooperation is seamless.

Including Shen Teng himself, he was probably not very happy when Mali was replaced.

Judging from the results, the replacement of the leading actress turned out to be a good thing for Shen Teng.

The success of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" proves that even if he leaves Mali, his comedy partner with whom he has a tacit understanding, he can still take off with the vase heroine.

This actually proves that he can carry the box office alone.

This is a blessing in disguise.

Li Yu watched this movie with his family in the cinema, and he noticed laughter breaking out from time to time in the theater.

As a comedy, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" can make most of the audience laugh, which is already satisfactory.

The responses to the plots modified by Li Yu were also very good.

In order to retaliate against the team that expelled him, Wang Duoyu, who had become rich overnight, invited Guo An's team to accompany him and have a fair fight with Daxiang's team.

At first, the audience found the plot a bit boring.

Guo An's team fought against an amateur team from Xihong City. Wasn't this a crushing victory without any suspense?
Wang Duoyu also thought so. In order to spend the 500 million inheritance within the limited time, he bet all in on the Daxiang team to win.

How happy it would be to lose 100 million in the process of playing football to avenge the past defeat.

As a result, the Daxiang team defeated the Jingcheng Guoan team with a score of 7:5.

Seeing such a shitty result of the game, the audience was amused by the absurd plot.

The Beijing Guoan team actually lost to an amateur team from another city. Isn’t this too insulting?

But if people think about it carefully, they will find it makes sense.

This is the Chinese national football team, which needs a porter who can only dribble the ball but not score goals.

It is not surprising for the Chinese national football team to lose to anyone, but it is surprising if they win.

In the billiard room, Wang Duoyu, with a face full of sweat, began to doubt his life. How could he mess up the game where he was supposed to have a flying dragon on his face?
Xia Zhu, played by Liu Yifei, stands behind Wang Duoyu as a background.

Another manager explained the current situation to Wang Duoyu with an excited look on his face: "Boss Wang, you are really a genius. You deliberately let everyone know that you have a feud with the Daxiang team, so that everyone believes that you will go all out to avenge the previous humiliation by inviting the strongest national football team.

When everyone bets that Daxiang team will lose, you bet on Daxiang team to win.

This is a really smart move of yours, exchanging face for money.

It really is true that if you don’t care about your reputation, you will earn more.”

The surrounding atmosphere group was also cheering for Mr. Wang's wisdom.

Wang Duoyu himself was also very depressed. He clearly wanted to lose money, so why was he allowed to make money?

How smart he is! It's obvious that Beijing Guoan's team is too weak.

Xia Zhu also looked at Wang Duoyu with admiration.

The contrast created a funny moment that made the audience in the theater laugh.

The movie is just over a hundred minutes long and the audience basically laughed from beginning to end.

After observing the audience’s reaction, Li Yu knew he had it figured out.

When the movie’s first-day results come out, they will definitely be very gratifying.

The facts were indeed as Li Yu had guessed.

The box office of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" reached 2.5 million on the first day of its release, which is definitely a good start.

Do you think that with a box office rating of 2.5 million, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" can easily win the single-day box office championship on the first day of the Lunar New Year?
No, because there are still experts.

这个高手就是《捉妖记2》，首日票房打破华语影坛单日票房的最高记录，以5.56亿元的单日票房击败《速度与激情8》《战狼2》创下的4.88亿和4.26亿。

This guy is a real master, and his main feature is his courage.

During the release of "Monster Hunt 1", CCTV News exposed the problem of false box office in the Chinese film market.

Reporters from CCTV traveled to eight cities for an in-depth investigation and discovered that forty-three days after the film was screened, the producers decided to launch a charity screening in order to boost box office sales.

To put it bluntly, the producer spent his own money to buy movie tickets from nearly 1 cinemas under his own company, and screened "Monster Hunt " for a specific group of people, and finally achieved a total box office of more than billion.

According to media reports afterwards, those charity shows were all scheduled in the early morning, with ten shows in a row. Not only were they all sold out, but sometimes the attendance rate could reach an astonishing 108%.

In other words, out of a hundred viewers, eight stood in the cinema in the early morning to watch "Monster Hunt 1".

"Monster Hunt 1" has boosted the box office, and this has been confirmed by official media.

As for whether "Monster Hunt 2" has been swiped, I'm afraid only the producers know.

Anyway, the first-day box office they showed was a record-breaking 5.56 million, which blew away the 2.5 million of "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

Li Yu, a big director with more than ten years of experience, is as green as a rookie in front of "Monster Hunt 2".

"Journey to the West: The Women Kingdom", starring Aaron Kwok, Feng Shaofeng and Zhao Xiaodao, temporarily ranks third in the Spring Festival box office with a first-day box office of 1.68 million yuan.

The fourth place is an animated film, "Boonie Bears: Transformed", with a box office of 7547 million.

Ranked last was Guo Degang's "1713th Generation of Ancestors", which earned million yuan.

Lao Guo is different from the previous contestants.

However, the number of screenings that Lao Guo himself received was very low, only 2.8%.

With such a low screening schedule, the film still managed to get a box office of 1713 million, which is definitely not bad. It also proves that Lao Guo's brand and the big names he invited played a significant role.
