Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 235: Admiring the Goddess's Face
The photo of Liu Tianxian and Song Seung-heon was posted by Song Seung-heon on his SNS social platform.

And the caption reads: "Liu Tianxian is a good actress and a beautiful person!"

After this picture and the accompanying text were released, Korean netizens were very excited, saying that the two were a good match, and they overwhelmingly supported Song Seung-heon to win over Liu Tianxian.

Just because Korean netizens are so fond of Liu Tianxian that they call her the "Wang Zuxian" of the new era!
It is also ranked first in popularity on the AVER search engine, surpassing other current Korean celebrities.

If they could marry a fairy like Liu Tianxian to their Korea, they would feel honored and proud just thinking about it!
Song Seung-heon, who was sitting in front of the screen, couldn't help but smile when he saw the popularity on the Internet.

Looking at Liu Tianxian's beautiful face and elegant posture, his eyes were even more obsessed.

When he attended an event in Shanghai the year before, he saw Liu Tianxian and was fascinated by her manners and conversation.

It was love at first sight, but apart from smiling in front of the camera, Liu Tianxian was indifferent and cold to him outside the camera.

When Liu Tianxian heard the assistant say that Song Seung-heon uploaded their photos online, she did not respond or pay any attention.

It's obvious that Song Seung-heon is just trying to ride on the popularity, which is a very common practice in the entertainment industry!
And she was not interested in that person, she just took a photo out of courtesy. She is very busy now and has left Korea.

Go to Taiwan, then to Hong Kong, and then to Southeast Asia, and travel around the mainland. Of course, I will only visit major cities and not remote cities.

The expenses will be borne by the local film producers, while security will be provided by Yindu Agency.

Now "Lucy 1" is also very popular in Southeast Asia. A Malaysian netizen named king, Trioplex, posted three pictures on his social media.

These three pictures show a movie theater that is packed with people watching movies.

And the post reads: #Lucy1 is almost full 9:15PM!

These pictures prove how popular "Lucy" is in Southeast Asia.

The total population of Malaysia is only 3393 million, but "Lucy 1" alone attracted more than 25 people to the cinema to watch it, and almost everyone in the country is a movie fan.

Southeast Asian netizens also gave unanimous praise, but judging from the profile pictures, they were all female viewers.

Malaysia's largest newspaper, Sin Chew Daily, published an article about the astonishing first-day box office of "Lucy 1", which exceeded RM400 million, becoming the highest first-day box office in Malaysia's history.

Apart from Malaysia, the attendance rate of major cinemas in Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand and other places reached an incredible 80%.

三天时间，《超体1》在马来西亚便获得了90.2万票房；新加坡61万；菲律宾49.6万；泰国44.4万；印尼46.6万.
The total box office in other regions of Canada exceeded 350 million, plus 50.6 in Hong Kong and 227 million in Taiwan.

The total box office is 627.6 million, which is equivalent to the Korean market. There is nothing you can do about it, this is how small countries are.

All of the above are in US dollars!

"Painted Skin 2" was also released in Malaysia and other Southeast Asian regions, but the box office was not even a fraction of "Lucy 1".

I was suppressed the whole time and not even a splash was made!
When Liu Tianxian is in Southeast Asia, she stays in one place for no more than one day, sometimes half a day or a few hours before leaving.

There are exclusive interviews and fan meetings, and reporters have already given instructions before interviewing, and will not ask sensitive political questions.

When asked, Liu Tianxian was also representing China, and she was very clear about this.

These small markets will no longer match their current value over time, so just let them admire the goddess's beauty.

It is a gift to them to say a few words.

With the huge popularity of "Lucy 1" and Liu Tianxian overseas, the tourism craze in China has also been boosted.

According to data released by the tourism department, the number of Southeast Asians traveling to China increased by 13%.

This is the star effect!
Sales of brands endorsed by Liu Tianxian also increased by 32%, further enhancing their commercial value.

This made many brands see its commercial value and they began to approach her team to discuss business cooperation.

Liu Xiaoli is very busy these days!

Compared with its explosive popularity in South Korea and Southeast Asia, "Lucy 1" has a completely different story in China.

Just because "Lucy 1" was just released, countless internet trolls started to discredit Liu Tianxian.

"The pinnacle of expressionless expression!"

This is the core flaw. The acting is so bad that it is outrageous and unbearable to watch.

The audience doesn’t know how to judge acting skills. Anyway, “everyone” says that Liu Tianxian’s acting is bad, so they tend to think that Liu Tianxian’s acting is bad and have no ability to distinguish.

Sometimes acting is a matter of personal opinion.

"Buy two tickets for Lucy 1."

At the Wanda Cinema, a young couple saw that there were few people in line, so they stepped forward and took out fifty bills to buy tickets.

So many people bought tickets online!

"Sorry, you can only buy one ticket for fifty yuan," said the ticket seller.

"Didn't it say 19.9 per ticket?" the man asked.

"That was bought online. You can also buy tickets online." The ticket seller pointed to the "Lucy 1" light box poster placed in an open space.

There is a download address and QR code on it, and you can also download it from the software platform.

The young couple looked at it, and the man took out another fifty and said, "Give me two."

"Why don't you buy it online?" asked the girlfriend next to me.

"There is no traffic. Traffic is very expensive." The man whispered.

In this day and age, data traffic is very expensive, and unlimited internet is not available everywhere, but there are still many people who buy their tickets at home and pick them up at the cinema.

Some people also go around using wireless networks to buy tickets.

In the past few days, "Lucy 1" has been suppressing "Painted Skin 2" with its natural advantage in capital strategy.

"Lucy 1" earned 132 million at the box office on the first day with 5840 million viewers, of which 1752 million was ticket subsidies, which means that this much was spent in one day.

Some viewers bought their tickets at offline cinemas and did not use the Tupiaopiao platform to make ticket subsidies.

This relieves some of the pressure on Tu Piaopiao.

《超体1》那边有132万人次，相应的《画皮2》观看人次就有减少，因为人都被吸去了。《画皮2》首日票房86万人次，票房3440万。

The two films combined saw over 218 million viewers in one day, setting a new record for the highest number of viewers for a domestic film in a single day.

With 218 million visitors, the box office revenue can reach over million in one day, which was unthinkable before.

Ticket subsidies will definitely attract many people who didn’t pay for movies before, as well as those who are not used to going to the cinema to watch movies.

It’s just that “Lucy 1” had little early publicity, was not well-known, and was often criticized, otherwise the box office would have been even higher.

The number of moviegoers on the second day was about the same as the first, and the box office was also about the same.

On the third day, public opinion suddenly changed direction, and the overseas success of "Lucy 1" blew back to China.

"Lucy 1 is making a lot of money! Southeast Asia is experiencing a viewing craze, and the box office is soaring!"

"The Chinese sci-fi action film Lucy 1 topped the Korean box office."

“Lucy 1 is a huge hit in Southeast Asia!”

"South Korean media said: Lucy 1 is the unshakable box office champion,"

"Lucy 1 is a huge hit in Southeast Asia! It has reached the highest box office record in three days and tickets are hard to come by."

"I can act! I can fight! I can cure all kinds of dissatisfaction!"

"."

The domestic media also praised "Lucy 1" highly, simply because if something Chinese can be praised by foreigners, then they are right to praise it.

The higher-ups also support this approach. Ticket subsidies will encourage audiences to watch movies, and the film will become a big hit overseas, which will hit the G-spot of the Film Bureau.

It can be said that although Fang Hong was working on Huayi this time, he also made his leaders feel comfortable.

On the third day, word of mouth spread, and more people learned about the ticket subsidies. On that day, the number of viewers of "Lucy 1" exceeded 253 million, and the box office exceeded 1.02 million.

It once again broke the movie viewing record and the single-day box office chart, and the media also touted it highly.

"Lucy 1 broke 2 million in three days and topped the domestic box office charts!"

"Lucy 1 broke many domestic film records, including the single-day attendance champion, single-day box office champion, and summer box office champion."

"."

The media hyped it up, and all of this was done with real money and tickets. In three days, Tu Piaopiao suffered a loss of more than 60 million.

But fortunately, Tu Piaopiao can bear it!

It only cost more than 60 million yuan because many people nowadays are not used to buying tickets online or using smartphones and find it troublesome.

There is also the problem of excessive data charges!
On the other hand, "Painted Skin 2" barely made over million in three days!
It was only because the number of moviegoers on the third day was suppressed so severely that less than 2 people watched "Painted Skin ".

The total number of moviegoers was just over 200 million.

The other party spent more than five million, and this is less than half of his money.

As the box office was good, more people came to watch it and word of mouth also spread.

Liu Tianxian's expressionless acting has reached the pinnacle, which has been praised online for many days, but some viewers think it's just okay.

A netizen named Meiwuduodushu commented: "From a silly and cute little white rabbit to a domineering and fierce one later, although Liu Tianxian's transformation was a bit abrupt, her performance was not that out of place."

"Lucy 1 was really fun to watch. The heroine was calculating all the people in the whole movie. Her IQ was online the whole time. Once she got the potion, she could kill everyone. It was much better than Painted Skin 2 which was incomprehensible. I don't know what to criticize about it."

"Sister, kill me!"

"Liu Tianxian should be in this kind of movie, she has a natural aggressive vibe!"

"."

The reversal in netizens' reputation began to spread by word of mouth, simply because the audience had the most intuitive experience.

Their words are the most credible. Some media outlets do this for the sake of accuracy, while others are paid.

The voices of netizens are still too weak. The reputation of "Lucy 1" is still criticized, and the reputation of "Painted Skin 2" is not that good either.

"First of all, Painted Skin 2 deceived an ignorant audience like me under the banner of 3D. I can sum up its 3D effect in a rather depressing way: it is a movie that is clear when wearing glasses but blurry without them." An Feng commented knowing what I meant.

"The success of Painted Skin 1 lies in its story, the tangled emotions of the characters, and the delicate and full psychological portrayal of the characters. Painted Skin 2 can only be said to be a typical heavily commercialized movie, with huge investment and effective early operations, but it also inherits the usual shortcomings of Chinese blockbusters - for the sake of spectacle and special effects, the content of the movie is ignored, and the story seems stupid."

Comments by Bearded God of War.

"."

Hua Yi criticized Liu Tianxian's outrageous acting in "Lucy 1", and netizens criticized "Painted Skin 2" as a stupid movie.

All Yutu needs to do is to amplify the comments of netizens in the background. The main focus is on mutual criticism. Who is afraid of who?

The two sides have been competing from the beginning, and the competition lasted for three days. Three days are enough to determine the winner. The reputation of the movies in this period will only be determined for three or four days.

If the box office is not good, it is not good, and it will be difficult to think about it later.

"Painted Skin 2" is not some incredible masterpiece, so how can it rely on word of mouth to succeed?

"Horse riding!"

Mr. Wang is also very angry. The total box office is only 80 million now, and the single-day box office has been suppressed to more than 15 million.

They have ten times more than them.

The box office will only get lower and lower as time goes by, and at the current performance rate, the cost cannot be recovered.

Seeing that Mr. Wang was very angry, the other staff in the office also kept their heads down and kept silent. For things like this, it is best to say less and do more.

They have absolute power that crushes you, what can you do?
Not only did they lose this battle, they also suffered huge losses. The production and promotion of this film cost them over 100 million yuan.

Not only did I lose money, but my stocks were also affected.
