This top guy is crazy!

The next day, January 1nd, was the second day of the New Year’s Day period.

The popularity of the film market led by "Green Snake" continues to rise!
As the most dazzling protagonist of the New Year's Day season, major media outlets were like sharks smelling blood, and a series of reports came like snowflakes!

"Sold out!!! Green Snake set a record at the box office on the first day, the hot scene is eye-catching!"

"Continuing the miracle of "The Wandering Earth", the box office of "Green Snake" has exceeded 9.9 million yuan! The first day of release in East Asian countries was very popular, and the IMAX screenings were sold out! The scale is unprecedented! East Asian movie fans: It's great, I want to watch it again! ! ! "

"Cheng Cheng's new work has achieved great success. Cheng Cheng, Yan Gou'er and Wen Lian, the iron triangle's performance has won unanimous praise"

"Shocking! The box office of "Green Snake" on the first day of Peninsula exceeded 1.2 million, setting a new record!"

“Yesterday, January 1, Cheng Cheng’s new film Green Snake was released on New Year’s Day.

In addition to Tianxia, ​​according to CCTV News, under the guidance and efforts of the State Film Administration and other departments, "Green Snake" was also released simultaneously in various East Asian countries. Among them, in the Peninsula, it was fully released in more than 500 theaters!
An average of 1400 screenings are scheduled every day, a scale unprecedented in Peninsula film history.

Many cinemas have densely scheduled screenings, with screenings almost every hour from 9 a.m. to midnight.

Lotte Cinema in Arkwang-dong, Seoul, had 21 screenings scheduled on the first day, with an average of one screening every half hour. Some screenings were only 15 minutes apart, and most of the screenings were full, with an average attendance rate of 80%.

"Green Snake" is on hot pre-sale in Peninsula, and tickets for IMAX screenings are particularly popular, with tickets hard to come by during popular time periods.

Some shopping malls in the Peninsula region launched a reward activity called "Collect Likes for "Green Snake" Short Video". Collecting enough likes can be exchanged for two tickets to the movie "Green Snake". This has prompted Peninsula citizens to enthusiastically share their shopping and ticket exchange experiences in shopping malls on social platforms, which shows Cheng Cheng's appeal in East Asia.

A sales manager of a theater chain in the peninsula said that "Green Snake" is scheduled for more than 200 screenings a day in Seoul, accounting for 70% of the theater's total screenings. The attendance rate during peak hours is over 90%, and the number of screenings will be increased accordingly in the future to meet audience demand.

A movie fan posted his viewing experience early yesterday morning and said that he bought a ticket for the first show at 9:05, which was almost full.

Many Peninsula fans who watched the movie this morning gave full marks online after the movie was over (out of 5 points), praising Green Snake for its "special effects and picture quality that are in no way inferior to Hollywood", "its aesthetics are very oriental", and "people of all ages will gain something from it, and it's worth watching a second time".

In the end, the single-day box office of "Green Snake" in Peninsula reached 1.2 million yuan. Before that, the single-day box office record of Peninsula was held by "Operation Sound of the Gods", which had a box office of only 8 million yuan on the first day of its release.

Lighthouse AI predicts that the total domestic box office of "Green Snake" will be 70 billion yuan, and the global box office will be 132.2 billion yuan. If calculated based on this, "Green Snake" may surpass "Hero: Force Awakening" and hit the top 20 of the global film and television box office list. "

Prior to this, Cheng Cheng had single-handedly brought domestic films to the 70 billion+ box office era.

A domestic box office of over 70 billion and a global box office of over 180 billion is no longer a dream!

But since "The Wandering Earth", no domestic film has achieved this achievement.

And don’t even mention the domestic box office of over 70 billion.

That is, the box office of 60 billion, 50 billion, and 40 billion is not there ("Resident Evil 2" does not count, "Resident Evil 2" is not a domestic film, and "The Richest Man in Xihong City" does not count, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" did not reach 40 billion)
There are also many media outlets that are sarcastic and, through the performance of the film market, overtly or covertly belittle "The Wandering Earth" as a product of deification and a collective carnival for everyone. There are also big Vs who satirize that "The Wandering Earth" did not save the domestic film market at all, but instead drained the blood that had been accumulated in the domestic film market for several years.

But now, the predicted box office of "Green Snake" came out, which directly slapped them in the face!
Use powerful facts to directly prove their nonsense!

If the domestic box office of "The Wandering Earth" of 70 billion+ is a deification and it sucked the blood accumulated by the domestic film market for several years, then what does the predicted domestic box office of "Green Snake" of 70 billion+ mean?

Is this another deification?
Or does it count as sucking blood out of the domestic film market for the next few years?

This can only prove one thing, that is, if you are not good enough, don't blame the road for being uneven! Cheng Cheng has the ability to continuously produce works with a box office of 70 billion+. Whether it is "The Wandering Earth" or the recently released "Green Snake", no matter how much the box office is, it is based on its own quality, not the deification of multiple forces.

The reason why other movies cannot get a box office of 70 billion+ is that the movies are not good, not that the Tianxia film market is not good.

On the Chinese Internet, seeing the first-day box office performance of Green Snake in East Asian countries, the responses of netizens in Tianxia were also very funny:
"It's so funny. Peninsula Films has been in the business for decades, but it turns out that it has never really opened up the Peninsula film market."

"Not to mention that Peninsula movies didn't open up, Hollywood movies didn't open up either, and Green Snake unexpectedly won the Peninsula single-day box office champion, but it should also be the total box office champion."

"This only shows that East Asian culture is really common. Even though the Peninsula keeps calling Serbia "dad" and refuses to admit that they were once our vassal state, their aesthetics will not lie. They really love to watch Green Snake."

“Correct! The fact that Green Snake broke records in various East Asian countries is truly the result of the right time, right place, and right people.

The right time: This happened to be Frog's first movie after he held a concert in Gaza and became a global superstar, and he himself starred in it. All his fans and people who like him were eager to give him money.

Dili: As the brother said before, "Green Snake" is very much in line with the aesthetic tastes of East Asians.

Renhe: The leading actors of "Green Snake" are luxurious. Everyone has superb acting skills, including Yan Gou'ermei, Wen Lianmei, and Wa Ge. With just one photo of the final shooting, they have conquered the entire East Asian aesthetic circle. It has become popular before it is even aired."

Netizens were discussing the issue excitedly online, and the enthusiasm was no less than that of a national event.

Many people sit in front of their mobile phones or computers, their eyes fixed on the box office statistics platform, refreshing the page from time to time to check the real-time box office of "Green Snake", as excited as checking their college entrance examination scores.

In the next few days, the box office of "Green Snake" continued to rise, with almost a miracle every day.

On January 1, the domestic single-day box office was 2 million yuan, the overseas single-day box office was 8.3 million yuan, and the single-day total box office was 3.1 billion yuan.

On January 1, the domestic single-day box office was 3 million yuan, the overseas single-day box office was 8.5 million yuan, and the single-day total box office was 3.4 billion yuan.

On January 1, the domestic single-day box office was 4 million yuan, the overseas single-day box office was 9.2 million yuan, and the single-day total box office was 4.2 billion yuan.

The box office of "Green Snake" has been falling for three consecutive days, it's so exaggerated!

By noon on January 1, the total box office of "Green Snake" in East Asia had reached 5 billion yuan!

People in the industry were stunned:

How is this different from picking up money?
Do not!
Picking up money is not that efficient!

In addition, "Green Snake" also brought about a series of chain reactions. It happened to be the New Year's Day holiday, and many people were worried about where to travel. After watching "Green Snake", many people became interested in Yuhang, West Lake, and Leifeng Pagoda.

So they all went to West Lake to check in, take photos and post on TikTok.

Some of them wrote, "I have walked across the Broken Bridge where Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian met in Green Snake. I am here too."

Some of them are captioned, "Come to West Lake to watch the Jiangnan Misty Rain in the movie. Every brick and tile, every blade of grass and every tree here tells the story of a love between a human and a demon that is different but persistent and unrepentant."

Some of them were captioned "I am a scholar, I am here, where is the snake?"

Some were captioned, "Sister, don't look back, I'm your brother-in-law."

Some people even went to the foot of Leifeng Pagoda to take videos and posted hypocritical messages: "Sister, I'm here to see you, are you in there?"

The Yuhang Culture and Tourism Bureau did not miss this huge traffic. They responded quickly and joined hands with local tourism companies and businesses to launch a series of tourism activities and special products related to "Green Snake".

In the West Lake Scenic Area, several "Green Snake" themed check-in spots were set up, with not only exquisite movie scenes restored, but also staff in ancient costumes to provide guide services for tourists. The Cultural and Tourism Bureau also invited folk artists to perform traditional handicrafts, such as making snake-shaped sugar paintings, and exquisitely carved white snakes, green snakes, Fahai, and Xu Xian wood carvings.

The surrounding businesses also reacted quickly. They already had travel photography costume changing projects, and after Green Snake became a hit, they directly asked the factory to rush to make the costumes for Green Snake overnight.

For a time, on the West Lake, there was Bai Suzhen every three steps and Fahai every five steps.

Of course, the most amazing move of the Yuhang Culture and Tourism Bureau was to invite Cosers to cosplay Green Snake, White Snake, Fahai, and Xu Xian. The advantage of official Cosers is that they are good-looking and can interact for free.

After a few days, the chest muscles of the actor who played Fahai were almost rubbed bare.

However, this is only a stopgap measure. What the Yuhang Culture and Tourism Bureau wants to do more is to work with Chengcheng to deeply explore and expand the "Green Snake" IP, build Green Snake into Yuhang's unique cultural and tourism brand, and continuously and deeply promote the development of local tourism.

What they want is not temporary benefits, but lifelong benefits.

And this cannot be achieved by relying on these short-term activities.

Cheng Cheng also agreed with this proposal, so after the "Green Snake" roadshow ended, he flew to Yuhang in person.

The Yuhang Culture and Tourism Bureau attached great importance to Cheng Cheng and prepared for the reception early on.

Director Xia of the Culture and Tourism Bureau even put down what he was doing and went to the airport to pick him up in person, showing great respect and courtesy.

When seeing Cheng Cheng coming out, Director Xia immediately stepped forward with a warm smile on his face and held out his hands: "Director Cheng, welcome to Yuhang! Thank you for your hard work along the way!"

Cheng Cheng waved his hand and said:

"I'm not the one flying the plane, so why should I be so hard-working?"

When Director Xia heard this, the smile on his face froze for a moment, as if he had been caught off guard. As soon as they met, he witnessed Cheng Cheng's straightforward and unconventional style of doing things.

Before he could recover, Cheng Cheng continued:
"I fell asleep as soon as I got on the plane, and when I opened my eyes I was there. The pilot has the hard work."

Director Xia's mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly perked up and responded with a wry smile:
"Yes, yes, Director Cheng is right. Director Cheng, you took the time out of your busy schedule to come here. We are all very grateful to you at the Yuhang Cultural and Tourism Bureau. Although the flight was not tiring, you have been working hard for the film industry. We are very grateful to you."

Cheng Cheng nodded and agreed: "That's true."

Director Xia: "Director Cheng, shall we get in the car first?"

Cheng Cheng: "Well, get in the car first."

After getting in the car, Director Xia introduced to Cheng Cheng in detail the preliminary plans made by the Yuhang Culture and Tourism Bureau for this cooperation, from the Green Snake Theme Cultural Park, Green Snake Cultural Festival, to theme concerts, museums, snake illustrations, etc.

This is the strategy for developing the Green Snake IP that the entire Yuhang Culture and Tourism Bureau came up with overnight.

Cheng Cheng nodded repeatedly as he listened, and occasionally raised some of his own opinions and questions.

Director Xia had a very pleasant conversation with him, and the atmosphere in the car was relaxed and warm. Director Xia seemed to have seen the bright future of the "Green Snake" IP taking root and bearing fruit in Yuhang. The other cadres who followed him were also smiling because some of the ideas were proposed by them.

Director Xia asked:
"Director Cheng, let's decide on this first?"

Cheng Cheng: "What's decided?"

Director Xia: "? Finalize the plan we talked about for developing the Green Snake IP?"

Cheng Cheng: "Ah? Why do you want to decide? Are you asking for my opinion?"

Director Xia was speechless: "Of course I'm asking for your opinion. Weren't we discussing it just now? Aren't you satisfied? You even discussed the details with me. Besides, isn't the purpose of your visit to develop the Green Snake IP together? Shouldn't we decide on it first?"

Cheng Cheng suddenly realized: "So this is what you mean?"

Director Xia felt like his brain was no longer working:
"Yes, that's what it means! What else could it mean?"

Cheng Cheng said:
"I thought you were discussing this with me. If it's just a simple discussion, you can say yours and I can say mine, and we can just discuss it for fun. But if you want to ask for my opinion, I definitely can't agree."

Director Xia was stunned: "Why don't you agree?"

The others also looked at Cheng Cheng with question marks in their eyes.

Cheng Cheng said innocently:
"Because I never wanted to develop the 'Green Snake' IP. I wanted to develop the 'Legend of the White Snake' IP."

Director Xia looked at Cheng Cheng, confused: "???"

Cheng Cheng asked: "You don't think the Green Snake is the protagonist of this story, do you? The White Snake is the protagonist of this story."

Director Xia almost failed to call him a psycho.

No, since the White Snake is the protagonist of this story, why is your movie called "Green Snake"? Instead of "White Snake"? And do you have to be so obsessed with this word? Isn't it enough to just mean the same thing?

Also, everything you heard me say before, was it just a joke?

Only Cheng Cheng is Cheng Cheng. If Cheng Cheng was someone else, Director Xia would not be able to bear it no matter whether the other person was a real psychopath or a fake psychopath. But who says Cheng Cheng is Cheng Cheng?

Cheng Cheng said:
"My idea is that I will cooperate with your Yuhang Culture and Tourism Bureau to launch a series of TV dramas, operas, cartoons, sketches, etc. Once these cultural and entertainment works are produced, they will naturally attract countless audiences and fans. There is no need to set up a green snake theme cultural park, a green snake cultural festival, theme concerts, museums, snake illustrations, etc."

Cheng Cheng looked at Director Xia curiously:
"Director Xia, you don't really think that the idea of ​​a snake encyclopedia is very reliable or genius, do you?"

Director Xia felt a little embarrassed and blushed.

But there was some excitement in her blushing face.

he asked:
"Director Cheng, are you the one who provided these scripts?"

Cheng Cheng asked back: "What else?"

His subtext is: Can I still count on you?
Cheng Cheng took out a stack of scripts and handed them to Director Xia: "I have already written the scripts for the TV series."

Director Xia took it with trembling hands, and saw a few large words written on the script:

The Legend of the New White Snake (End of this chapter)
