This top guy is crazy!

In the early morning, the box office figures for the first day of the Spring Festival were released, but a surprising situation occurred.

NO1: "Life Pier" box office 2.3 million on the first day

NO2: "Black Gold Empire" box office on the first day was 1.8 million

NO3: "It's You" box office on the first day was 1.1 million

NO4: "Green Snake" box office on the first day was 0.8 million!
The box office of the Spring Festival movie was only 2.3 million! And the box office of "Green Snake" exploded again, ranking fourth among all the new movies released during the Spring Festival, surpassing four new movies!
This was a painful blow to many people in the industry:

They originally thought that the film market had improved, but unexpectedly it was still in the midst of a cold winter!
On the one hand, movies like "Green Snake", "The Wandering Earth" and "Resident Evil" have been a global success, breaking one record after another in film history. On the other hand, except for movies like "Green Snake", "The Wandering Earth" and "Resident Evil", most other movies are collectively not making any money!

The entire film market is like heaven and hell, with very little in between.

If this continues, the Tianxia film market will probably become a myth!
Zhihu has a problem:

"The total box office of new films during the 2027 Spring Festival has exceeded 7.3 million. How do you evaluate this result? Which movie do you think will achieve good results?"

The hot comments answered:

[There aren't many good movies during the entire Spring Festival period. Maybe Green Snake will still be the box office champion during the Spring Festival period.

Yesterday I watched "Life's Pier". From the perspective of the movie, the plot arrangement is overly dependent on repetitive narratives of suffering. The heroine never crawled out of the bitter drama for a full hour and a half after the opening. The director was afraid that you would not cry, so he stuffed all kinds of miserable plots into your ears, just shouting "Cry, cry!" It was hard to catch your breath with a bowl of chicken soup, but immediately there was a new suffering. On average, a new suffering was created every seven or eight minutes. At the beginning, I was still weeping along with the plot, but later I was annoyed: why does this never end!

There are several other movies, each with its own problems.
Considering that the movies released during the Spring Festival are either of poor quality or poorly promoted, it may be that everyone has nothing to watch, so they still have to go and watch Green Snake. ]
"It's been almost two months, and Qing Snake is still the mainstay."

"At least the daily box office of Life Pier has exceeded 200 million, which basically saves the box office of the entire Spring Festival. If it doesn't save face, the entire film market will be finished."

"The entire Spring Festival period only earned 7.3 million yuan!!! It's no wonder these movie makers are desperate. During last year's Spring Festival, The Untold Story grossed 6.7 million yuan on its first day, and that was just the domestic box office. The global total has already exceeded 10 billion yuan. And Green Snake, which earned 7.1 million yuan in a single day domestically during the New Year's Day period, which was not as good as the Spring Festival period, and in the following days it even earned 8.3 million, 8.5 million, and 9.2 million yuan. How can you compare? There's no comparison at all!"

"The box office of Green Snake is like an anesthetic, allowing the industry to temporarily forget the crises of capacity exhaustion, talent shortage, and capital withdrawal. But the anesthetic will eventually wear off, and the collapse is about to begin."

"Forget it, let's wait a little longer and watch Sung Cheng's new film Train to Busan. I have to say, Sung Cheng is as prolific as a sow! The bad news is that the global film market is not doing well now, and it's hard to make good films. The good news is that there is still Sung Cheng."

"Cheng Cheng's movies have a stable box office of 30 billion+, which is really scary, okay?"

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when the county town was still immersed in the smoke of firecrackers, Wang Hong returned to the capital.

The next morning, the chilly wind carried the lingering New Year atmosphere, and Wang Hong arrived at the crew on time.

In the lounge, under the warm light, director Xiaoyi was sitting on the armrest of the sofa, the steam from the thermos blurred the smile on his face. Wen Lian and Jiang Jun had already arrived, and they were chatting and laughing, full of a sense of relaxation after the holiday.

Seeing Wang Hong appear, Director Xiaoyi greeted her with a happy face: "Hahaha, Wang Hong, Happy New Year, Happy New Year."

Wang Hong put her down jacket on the back of the chair, revealing her curvy figure. She also said Happy New Year, then raised her eyebrows and said jokingly:
"Director, we're starting work right after the Chinese New Year. Can you please show some appreciation?"

"Yes, of course! I have prepared it!" Xiaoyi had prepared it in advance. He handed a red envelope with a lucky cat printed on it to Wang Hong and said, "Happy New Year! Share your good luck!"

Wang Hong happily took it and said:

"Thank you, director."

Jiang Jun then said to Wang Hong:

"Sister Wang Hong, Happy New Year."

Wang Hong: "Happy New Year, Happy New Year."

Wen Lian also nodded to Wang Hong and said, "Happy New Year." After that, she lowered her head and flipped through the script, her red nails making a rustling sound on the pages.

Wang Hong: "Happy New Year."

Wang Hong and Wen Lian have some conflicts, but Wang Hong dares not offend Wen Lian at all.

Among the main characters of "Love Apartment", Wen Lian is the one who has developed the best, followed by Zhang Zijie and Jiang Jun. Wang Hong can only be considered mediocre.

Although Cheng Xiaomei's role in "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" won her the Golden Treasure Award for Best Actress, it was still not as good as the numerous accolades won by Wen Lian.

After a while, Wen Xiao who played Guan Gu Shenqi, Qi Hao who played Lv Ziqiao, and Meng Cai who played Zhang Wei also arrived. The lounge became more lively, especially Meng Cai who played Zhang Wei. He had already learned in advance that he was the protagonist of this season, and was therefore particularly excited.

After a while, they were chatting when Xiaoyi received a call. He said to everyone:
"Okay, the car to pick up the newlyweds is here, you guys chat first."

After a while, he came in with three young people, two women and one man.

The first girl has short hair, is about 1.65 meters tall, has a neutral style, and has very delicate facial features. She looks beautiful and

The second girl had a slightly darker skin and was a little over 1.7 meters tall. Apart from being extremely nervous, there was nothing special about her.

The last boy wore a pair of glasses and was a little thin, like a stick.

At this time, they followed Xiaoyi, looking at Wen Lian, Wang Hong and others excitedly and nervously.

Xiaoyi smiled and said:
"These are the new actors of this season, Lu Ming, Wang Ke, and Qi Zhiyuan."

He turned around, patted Lu Ming's shoulder, and said to the three of them, "Hurry up and say hello to the seniors."

There was still snow on Lu Ming's short hair. It seemed that it was snowing outside. She said excitedly:

"Hello, Teacher Wen Lian, Teacher Wen Xiao, Teacher Wang Hong, Teacher Jiang Jun. I am Lu Ming. I have watched all four seasons of Love Apartment, and all of Director Cheng's works. I will definitely cherish this opportunity and work hard to learn from you all!"

Wang Ke, who had dark skin, rubbed his hands nervously, and his sneakers made small sounds on the carpet: "Happy New Year, seniors. I, I really like "Love Apartment". I have been following it since high school..."

Her voice became smaller and smaller until she was interrupted by Xiaoyi's cough beside her.

Wang Ke quickly stopped the topic. She said that she had been chasing him since high school. Wasn't that just a disguised way of saying that Wen Lian and the others were old? Wang Ke cursed herself for being so stupid. She thought with a bitter face:
It’s over, I’m done for. I don’t know how many people I’m going to offend now!
Qi Zhiyuan, who was wearing glasses, pushed up his glasses and pinched the corners of the script with his slender fingers, which turned pale:

"Hello, teachers. My name is Qi Zhiyuan. It is my honor to work with you all."

Xiaoyi smiled and added: "They are all newcomers. And, Wang Hong, Lu Ming is also your and Yan Gou'er's junior. She just entered her sophomore year this year. You have to take care of her."

Wang Hong's smile brightened immediately. She stood up and reached out to hold Lu Ming's wrist. "It's you, Junior Sister. Stop standing and sit down! We don't have so many rules in our crew."

Then he raised his chin towards Wang Ke and Qi Zhiyuan, "You guys don't have to be polite. Come and sit down."

The three newlyweds felt so uncomfortably awkward, as if they were being roasted on a fire.

Wang Hong said to Lu Ming: "Junior sister, if you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask me."

Seeing this, Xiaoyi raised his hands and clapped his palms, saying, "That's great. Let's get to know each other while we're still warm. Luming, Wang Ke, Xiaoqi, don't be nervous. We'll study the script together in half an hour."

The three newcomers nodded obediently. (End of this chapter)
