Chapter 687 The Loser Girl Who Can Cry and Laugh

The 2015 Lunar New Year box office has come to an end, and the final box office of "Detective Chinatown 9.8" reached million yuan!
Almost entered the 10 billion club.

This movie only had 8.23 million in its previous life, which is more than million more than its previous life. This is normal, and it pushed "Mr. Six" off the shelves.

Since the movie was released earlier, on Christmas Day, it is reasonable that it earned more at the box office.

It's a pity that it didn't break 10 billion. It seems that Wanda and Alibaba still have some influence. After all, "Mojin: The Lost Legend" also lost about to million in box office.

However, TikTok is on the rise, and Chang'e's sections have traffic, so Fang Hong is not afraid of them.

During the same period, "Bad Angels" earned 6.48 million yuan. Such movies can have such box office results.

Today's audiences are still very tolerant.

Other movies have box office levels ranging from several million to tens of millions.

With the Lunar New Year movie season coming to an end, Spring Festival movies are about to be released. At the beginning of the new year, auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, and it is another new Spring Festival. The earth is covered in silver, and every house is decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, making the place bustling with activity.

Early in the morning on New Year's Day, Fang Hong pasted up spring couplets, hung up red lanterns, and decorated the villa to create a festive atmosphere.

The large living room of the villa was also cleaned up and looked brand new. Of course, it was not cleaned by the family members, but by the cleaning staff.

The villa is too big and it’s too troublesome to clean it up by myself.

In the sofa area, various fruits and snacks were placed on the coffee table. Liu Tianxian, Liu Xiaoli and Xu Liyun were sitting on the sofa. Heizi was lying on the ground nearby, sticking out his tongue, and several kittens were chasing each other around.

They ate fruits and looked at Fang Hong in front of them, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

Fang Hong was seen stretching his neck, with one hand in front of his mouth and the other behind his buttocks, walking back and forth with his body bent and swaying from side to side like a teapot.

His behavior was funny and interesting, making them clap their hands and laugh out loud, looking so happy.

Liu Tianxian laughed the loudest, and her laughter made a "cluck" sound like a duck.

She took out her cell phone and took a picture of this funny scene.

Fang Hong also cooperated very well. He bent his legs to form an "O" shape, hunched his shoulders, placed his palms on the left and right and pressed down, swaying and staggering like a duck. His behavior was particularly funny.

"Quack, quack, quack" he also made a sound like a drake.

"Cough cough..." Liu Xiaoli almost died from laughing and kept coughing.

It’s really interesting and joyful.

Xu Liyun wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, tears of laughter came out.

Liu Tianxian found it very interesting, so she walked barefoot, put on slippers and walked to Fang Hong. Like him, she posed in a funny duck-like posture and made "quack quack" duck sounds.

She was wearing a long floral dress, and her bulging belly could be clearly seen. She looked like a fat duck with a big belly, which was particularly funny.

The two mothers were so amused that they laughed so hard that they almost died. These two are really funny.

He is very serious in front of people, but very childish behind their backs.

"Quack." Fang Hong put on the posture of a "teapot" again, stretched out his neck like a "goose", made a goose call and pecked at Liu Tianxian.

Liu Tianxian seemed to sense the danger. She swayed her body and ran away while quacking. The quacking was mixed with laughter, and the sound could no longer be heard as a duck.

After all, it is very difficult to hold back laughter at such a funny thing, and in fact, her sense of humor is quite low.

The two mothers laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt, and they couldn’t stop laughing even after waving their hands.

"Hehehe" Liu Tianxian fell on the sofa, leaning back and laughing.

Fang Hong was on top of her, still maintaining that funny look, pecking at her head like a goose, and nodding her head with his hand.

"Don't hurt her." Liu Xiaoli pulled her son-in-law and signaled him not to press on her stomach.

Fang Hong thought it was just a joke, so he stood up and became serious again. He picked up a peeled apple from the coffee table and put it in his mouth.

I tried so hard to imitate the sounds of animals that my mouth became dry.

Liu Tianxian stood up, adjusted her skirt, and leaned back, revealing her white legs.

"I haven't been this happy in a long time." Xu Liyun wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled.

Usually one person is busy or the other is busy, and it is very rare for the family to play together like this.

"It will be more interesting with one more person." Liu Xiaoli recalled that her daughter was also very interesting and funny when she was a child.

Adults are still not as cute as children.

"It's almost there." Xu Liyun glanced at Liu Tianxian's belly, which looked big.

After five months, the belly grows the fastest.

"Husband, sing your song 'Invincible' to the mothers." Liu Tianxian stretched out her hand and asked Fang Hong, who was sitting next to her, to stand up.

"You ask me to dance and I dance, you ask me to sing, but this is making me look bad." Fang Hong said.

"Hey, don't embarrass yourself. Let the mothers see your singing voice."

Liu Tianxian teased and said to the mothers again: "He just released a new song, it's really exciting, I'll sing it for you."

"Hey, Xiaofang, I didn't realize you can sing. Then you should show it to me." Liu Xiaoli became interested.

"I just sang the song someone else wrote for me casually, and it doesn't sound good." Fang Hong didn't want to sing it, and he didn't have a million-dollar tuner, so he himself couldn't bear to listen to it.

"It sounds nice, come on." Liu Tianxian encouraged and pulled him.

Fang Hong didn't move at all. It's not like he had never heard of this before.

"It's okay, let's just enjoy it. We're not professionals, but we just want to have fun during the New Year." Liu Xiaoli still wanted to hear her son-in-law sing.

Xu Liyun looked at him with a smile on her face, without any expression. She was in a good mood and was happy no matter what.

"Sing, sing, we won't laugh at you." Liu Tianxian encouraged again and pulled him.

"I can sing, and moms can laugh, but you can't laugh." Fang Hong said to Liu Tianxian.

"I'm not laughing." Liu Tianxian shook her head.

"You said it." Fang Hong pointed at her.

"Yes, I said so." Liu Tianxian raised her hand to swear, put on her slippers and said, "I'll go find an accompaniment for you."

"You are really positive." Fang Hong said.

The two mothers looked at each other and smiled.

Liu Tianxian turned on the TV and adjusted it. The entire background wall in her house was a screen. It was very large and could be connected to the Internet.

Internet TV set-top boxes already exist and are also the focus of competition among major Internet manufacturers.

Tencent, Youku, and iQiyi can also show their trademarks and trademark names.

However, soon a piece of paper was issued, and all the promotion and efforts of those manufacturers were wasted. Those without a license could not appear on TV channels, nor could they display their trademarks.

Those Internet companies can only provide content, or cooperate with licensed companies.

It can be said that this hit those manufacturers hard, but they can withstand it and can withstand the loss of resources and funds.

Chang'e Video has never developed towards the TV side, it just distributes content to them.

Liu Tianxian found the video of that song and paused. The MV was not the original one, but Fang Hong showing off in various occasions. There were pictures of him at a symposium, receiving an award, and at the Macau Film Festival. There were all kinds of pictures. These were edited by netizens.

This version is the most popular because it contains various pretentious quotes.

Liu Tianxian took out a microphone from the drawer of the TV cabinet, handed it to Fang Hong and said, "Sing well!"

"Don't laugh!" Fang Hong warned.

"Yeah, I won't laugh." Liu Tianxian pursed her lips. She wanted to laugh, but she held it back.

The MV played, the exciting music resounded in the villa, Fang Hong picked up the microphone and started singing: "How invincible is it"

"Hahaha!" Liu Tianxian started laughing, her waist bent over with laughter.

Fang Hong looked at her pretending to be angry, as he had just agreed not to laugh.

"Hehehe." Liu Tianxian came up to him shamelessly, put her arms around his shoulders, forcefully turned his body over, and kissed him on the mouth.

Then she put one foot wildly on the coffee table, lifted her skirt, twisted her body seductively, and danced beside the guy. Although she had a big belly, her figure was still very flexible.

It’s just that the dancing posture somewhat ruins her image as a “goddess”. However, she never thinks of herself as a gospel goddess. She’s just a loser girl who can cry, laugh and be funny.

Liu Xiaoli covered her face, unable to bear to look at such a daughter.

Xu Liyun laughed continuously and clapped her hands, looking very happy.

They didn't care whether Fang Hong sang well or not, as long as they were happy.

When others sing well, it is just for the sake of enjoyment; when children sing, it is to amuse themselves.

They saw Fang Hong on TV in various occasions. In his speech at Beijing Film Academy, he said: "The desire for knowledge, the pursuit of love, and the unstoppable sympathy for human suffering."

In a speech at the Macau Film Festival, he said: "We want to make the most fair film festival!"

At the "Top Ten Economic Figures" event, he said: "Please treat our compatriots well."

These clips are accompanied by songs and some pretentious quotes. After listening to this song, people can roughly understand Fang Hong's thoughts.

People didn't realize it before, simply because the span was so many years and it couldn't be noticed if it wasn't consistent.

Now that netizens have edited the clips together, they feel that this person has the same compassion as ordinary people, and is not as cold-blooded as capital.

Just when Fang Hong and Liu Tianxian were laughing and eating New Year's Eve dinner at home.

"The Mermaid" grossed 2.71 million yuan on the first day, 2.43 million yuan on the second day, and over million yuan in two days, which is simply terrifying and set a new record for the single-day box office champion.

With the release of this movie, word of mouth about this movie also came out and it was polarized into two levels. Those who praised it said it was very good, while those who criticized it said "Master Xing has run out of ideas!" and it was just rehashing old stuff.

This happens with almost every movie he releases.

Needless to say, "The Man from Macau 3" was met with a lot of criticism. This movie was made just to make money, with no intention of making it properly and no sincerity at all.

However, the box office was still quite impressive, with 1.7 million on the first day, 1.3 million on the second day, and over 3 million in two days.

"Journey to the West: Part Two: The White Bone Demon" was also widely panned and was called a bad movie, with a box office of 1.6 million on the first day, 1.1 million on the second day, and around 2.9 million in two days, nearly 3 million.

These three movies generated a box office revenue of around 11 billion in two days, marking a further prosperity in the film market.

Basically, these three movies took up all the box office revenue during the Spring Festival. The other movies were not very noticeable. It was considered good if they had a box office revenue of one million.

However, while the box office of the other two films declined to varying degrees, the box office of "The Mermaid" was unusually strong.

On the third day, the box office fell back to 2.49 million yuan, and on the fourth day it remained stable at 2.49 million yuan.

In other words, the total box office exceeded 10.12 billion in four days, becoming the fastest movie to break one billion, even more impressive than "Gravity".

Seeing the box office so strong, Stephen Chow was so excited that he shouted: "If the box office exceeds 30 billion, I will swim naked!"

Netizens started to make a fuss, wanting to see Stephen Chow swimming naked.

The box office on the fifth day was still 2.45 million, and on the sixth day it remained stable at 2.40 million, and the total box office almost broke 15 billion.

It's really quite intense. Lao Wang always thought about whether he should give the principal some eye drops, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea. Now only "The Mermaid" has some box office success, and there is no alternative movie.

The other two films have fallen below 100 million yuan. If they put too much pressure on the audience, they will also suffer losses and no one will come to their cinema.

There were many alternative movies in the previous Lunar New Year period, but this Spring Festival period there are basically no movies that can compete with "The Mermaid".

As for Alibaba's online business, Tao Piaopiao has diverted traffic for this movie, but it cannot pose much threat to Fang Hong, because the publicity and promotion systems of Tu Piaopiao and Chang'e Technology are still very mature.

Tupiaopiao has a 70% market share and has always maintained an advantage, with no other ticketing platform targeting it.

What they want is GMV transaction volume, and targeting "The Mermaid" is targeting themselves.

Seeing that the box office of "The Mermaid" continued to rise and exceeded expectations, Stephen Chow was a little depressed again. He was depressed because he had made a bet with the principal before that if the box office exceeded 10 billion, he would be given 1 million as dividends.

In other words, no matter how much the box office is, he will be given 1 million, and the subsequent 20 billion or 30 billion will have nothing to do with him.

He agreed to this at the time because he thought the box office would be at most a few billion, 15 billion at most. The principal could make some money, but not too much.

That was a bet made two years ago. Two years ago, it was difficult for the film and television market to reach a box office of 10 billion. Who could have expected that in just one or two years, the film market box office would grow so rapidly.

I never expected his movie to perform like this.

At that time, according to his idea, with a box office of about 15 billion, a profit of 30% would be 4.5 million. Adding the production cost and the publicity and promotion cost, he would only make a little over million.

It means he took away 50% of the share.

I didn't expect that even though it has reached 15 billion, the box office level is still explosive. It would be okay if the box office is not high in the future. I will feel balanced. The principal didn't make much money.

If the revenue really exceeds 20 billion or 30 billion, I will regret it so much that I should have asked for a share earlier.

Chen Zhixi was also delighted to see the box office performance of "The Mermaid".

If the box office doesn't collapse, they won't lose money.

When the principal made a bet with Stephen Chow on the box office threshold, she was against it, thinking it would be difficult to achieve the ideal box office level.

Because the box office performance of these Hong Kong directors is generally not high and is fixed at a certain level, the audience has some aesthetic fatigue.

Now she is relieved. As long as the box office exceeds 20 billion, it will be a big profit.

Overseas, "Fifty Shades Darker" was released as scheduled on February 2, and earned $10 million in North America on the first day and $2170 million in the first weekend.

The international box office in its first week was $8270 million, and including North America, the global box office in its first week was $1.29 million.

Of course, this movie is still criticized, with a Rotten Tomatoes rating of only 11%, but that’s not important. What’s important is that people like to watch such romantic action movies.

However, there is an interesting phenomenon. A survey agency found that 65% of the viewers of "Fifty Shades Darker" were female, and the majority of them were female viewers over 25 years old.

It also sparked a discussion about human sexual behavior patterns, saying, "Women are extremely hungry for adult content!"

He also said: "Can female sexual desire be truly liberated within the patriarchal framework?"

They started boxing, and they were liberated enough.

This movie proves that women are more lustful than men, and men are not as lustful as women.

"Fifty Shades Darker" is not the North American box office champion. The champion is "Deadpool", ranking second in the North American box office.

Marvel movies are still awesome, nothing can compare.
