Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 337 These divine hands can create countless miracles

One month later, on June 16.

The summer movie season of 2009 had already created a huge craze thanks to ten million high school seniors having a blast.

The crew of "Let the Bullets Fly" also mobilized both online and offline, and its popularity and appeal returned to their peak.

This movie is scheduled to occupy 90% of the screenings in mainland cinemas starting June 19.

Before the 19th, the biggest blockbuster in mainland cinemas was still (The Founding of a Republic).

This film, which grossed over 400 million yuan in seven days during the Golden Week holiday, basically achieved a gross of 90 million or over 100 million yuan on each weekend in May.

It can accumulate 60 to 70 million in five working days.

On average, it's 1.6 or 1.8 million per week.

The total box office in mainland China had already exceeded 11 billion yuan by June 8th.

From the 10th to the 14th, over five days, ten million high school graduates contributed over 2 million yuan to the box office.

This is the third film in mainland China to break 1 billion yuan, and judging by its momentum, it could easily surpass 14 billion yuan.

The film "The Suppression of Manslaughter" came in second place at the box office.

You asked if there's any inflated data? Definitely. Many people from various organizations go to see patriotic movies in groups.

They may not actually show up, but they've definitely paid to book the entire venue.

This is a popular vote that the mainstream ideology has across the country, and there are quite a few of them.

Just like how CEO Han doesn't open ratings, his biggest concern is that people who receive "dog food" (a term for paid online supporters) might hire online trolls to give low ratings.

In 2009, the original film, The Founding of a Republic, only a few million less than Transformers 2's 4.22 million at the box office.

It became the third highest-grossing film of 09.

Various problems also exist.

To be honest, this movie is actually quite good.

It dominates a major film season, has a long screening period, and countless fans go to the cinema to count the stars until their eyes get tired.

This result is also explosive.

There are three days left until the release of "Let the Bullets Fly" on June 16.

Old Li and his large team appeared at the auspicious opening ceremony in Shanghai.

The filming of "Lucy 2," which has been in development for five months, will begin today with some scenes set in Shanghai.

The main story revolves around the mother of the new superhero character played by Xiao Tong reporting her daughter missing in South Korea.

An internal police investigation uncovered the case of Li Jiaxin's deification in the first part.

Old Li was reinvestigated by higher-ups.

Then, at the higher-ups' level, they discussed with Lao Li how to go to South Korea to find and rescue Tong Liya, and arranged for Nazha to meet him.

The two went to visit Yang Mi in prison again, hoping to get more information about a certain gang from her, the henchman.

The secret agent, Liu Shishi, and Quan Zhixian will all make appearances.

He was questioned as a prisoner.

Of course, this was to set the stage for (Lucy 3).

Or perhaps after Nazha becomes the new female hero, we can have a (Lucy 4) push for the secret.

The three female prisoners, Quan Zhixian and Xiao Liu, each had 20% of the time and screen time, while the "Big Secret" had 80%.

Hollywood has seen a constant stream of characters, from the Fantastic Four and Black Widow to Sandman and Ant-Man.

Naza could pursue a career path similar to the "Radiant Woman" or "Ah Xin" in the future, or she could be portrayed as a "Thunder Woman" in the "Big Secret" series.

The big secret is once again extremely grateful that the six months of intense competition were not in vain.

The groundbreaking ceremony had just ended when Xiao Tong led his team to greet the visitors and media personnel from Time Media Group who had come to observe.

The big secret ran to Old Li's side and said with a smile, "Senior brother, although I didn't make an appearance."

"But in the 8D era, it was still my duty to do the roadshow for (Let the Bullets Fly)."

"I'll try my best to finish filming my scenes, which are only a few minutes long, before the 19th."

Old Li nodded, "Okay, the roadshow is up to you. Even if Bullet Fly can only occupy two weeks of prime time, it's still a very popular summer movie season."

"I hope that Bullet Fly can also break 10 billion yuan at the box office in mainland China."

He no longer goes on promotional tours for the villainous characters he plays.

This time, it was Ge Youjiangwen and others who were busy.

However, in the main creative team, Chen Kun also made a cameo appearance as Hu Wan, who asks you whether you want one bowl of noodles or two bowls of noodles, forcing Liu Zi, played by Chen Xiao, to commit suicide to prove himself.

He Qing's wife, the county magistrate's wife, and Wang Zuxian's ex-wife, Ma Bangde.

Liu Shishi plays Sister Hua.

When it comes to promotional efforts, their roadshows are incredibly attractive.

Wang Zuxian had just made a comeback six months ago with the success of "A Chinese Ghost Story IV," which grossed nearly 1 billion yuan nationwide.

Chen Xiao also played the second male lead in the TV series "Return to Ming" last year.

Its terrifying influence rivals that of My Love from the Star and Goblin, and even Little Superman.

Two days later, the second season of (Return to the Ming Dynasty) will air, adding another year to the fan base.

Going back to the second season of My Love from the Star is definitely more monotonous than My Love from the Star and Goblin.

He is also a big star with great influence.

Moreover, the first season of (The Best Housekeeper) was already filmed, and they are discussing when it will be broadcast.

What if both of these super period dramas air during the summer season (Bullet Fly)?

Its appeal and influence are definitely not weak.

Wu Zhichong and Jiang Wu both starred in five seasons of Breaking Bad and have finished filming.

The Breaking Bad series was not broadcast on mainland Chinese television; it was released directly on online streaming platforms.

After several years of nurturing the IP, it has won numerous TV series awards in the United States.

From Renren to the comment section of Shiguang Video, there are so many fans of Poison Master.

Plus the hardcore quality of (Let the Bullets Fly).

This is more than just a case of a single film in mainland China grossing a billion yuan.

With all the necessary configurations in place, even bullets flying can keep up with the grandeur and momentum of the founding of the nation.

Naza chuckled and said, "Sister Honey, you've really worked hard. After you finish running around and get back to the branch or headquarters building, I'll continue to massage your feet."

"Including full-body massage relaxation, I've been learning it very well from my boss recently."

In August 2008, Gulnazar taught herself massage techniques for 65 years old.

Nearly a year has passed, and Old Li still has plenty of opportunities to personally guide and teach her.

Naza's acting skills haven't improved at all; at most, she's just immersed herself in the script beforehand?
Never mind, Daiyu and Qingwenzi don't appear much anyway.

She performed very well in "Bullets Fly".

Immersing yourself in the script (Lucy 2) beforehand can still result in a performance level of 70+.

What's peculiar about this girl is her massage skills (75/100).

If they retire from the industry in the future, they will all become provincial-level massage therapists.

This is her sixth year in the industry, and she has miraculously developed an unconventional side hustle.

The secretary gave Nazha a meaningful look and said, "I really thank you."

When you're so tired you just want to fall asleep, who would want to give Nazha a massage?
She asked Lao Li to do it, saying it would be better and of higher quality.

(150/100) level of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Even the most secret experts can 1000% verify what miracles these divine hands can create.

Naza looked completely bewildered and innocent. Had she said something wrong?

Old Li lit a cigarette. "Alright, stop talking nonsense. We'll start filming soon. Whether you can wrap up filming within three days depends on yourself."

The scenes of interrogation and revelations inside the prison are all easy to film.

At most, when filming wraps up in Shanghai and they fly to the Peninsula to start filming, they'll have the head confidante go there to reshoot some scenes of her reminiscing about her past before she went to jail.

Yang Mi's acting skills are really good now.

The secretary hurriedly patted her conscience and assured her that she would definitely put her heart into it.

Old Li also led the team to change clothes and get their makeup done.

June 16th was a truly auspicious start.

…………

More than 9 o'clock in the evening.

The Superbody team moved to the Shanghai branch, and Fat Ice walked out of the elevator on the second basement floor.

She also launched the third season of (The Voice of China), with Samsung paying 6 million RMB for the title sponsorship.

When Fat Bing came to pick him up, he excitedly greeted him, "Brother Yu, the bullet-flying movie feels incredibly solid. Many veteran academics both inside and outside the industry are giving it rave reviews." "Your image as the Southern Bully is going to be deeply ingrained in people's minds."

Old Li didn't mince words, stating definitively, "Jiang Wen's performance in this one shot will probably exhaust half of his talent."

This is similar to the story of a rich man and the King of Chu and his concubine.

A typical example of someone who can make a living off one movie for a lifetime.

Fat Bing paused for a moment, then smiled sweetly, "Variety shows are still the most stable. With one season after another, there's almost no worry about the ratings suddenly plummeting."

The movie "Superbody" was filmed by Fat Bing.

The second part has now been handed over to Xiao Tong.

She didn't expect to change her approach, replacing Li Jiaxin as the female lead and introducing a new hero.

The fact that it has opened up a new chapter so quickly, one after another, is even faster than the "Fast & Furious" series.

While walking, Fat Bing explained, "Blake Lively has communicated with Paramount and Iron Man."

"Robert Downey Jr. will fly to the peninsula during filming to shoot an Easter egg."

"It's like Iron Man, after the finale, was testing his new Jaeger when he passed by the peninsula and discovered the half-disaster site that had been ravaged by Xiao Tong."

"We caught up with Xiao Tong in international waters and boarded a luxury cruise ship back to China with you."

"But he doesn't go down to you and interact with you; he shows you all in the same big shot."

"Ordinary people in the movie didn't notice that Xiao Tong and Iron Man just exchanged a glance from afar and that was the end of it."

Inviting someone to make a cameo appearance is very easy.

The interconnectedness of the entire system, with the high value of China's ticket market.

This is much easier than having the original "Trajectory Slim Ice" join Transformers as a major female supporting character.

As for whether or not they will truly merge in the future and start a new war?

We can talk about that in three to five years.

Old Li nodded, "Just pay the market price then."

…………

Two days later, April 6.

The second season of "Back to the Ming Dynasty to Be a Prince" officially premiered on Beijing TV.

It boasts a terrifying viewership rating of over 30% in its first and second runs of the first season.

This drama was a smash hit as soon as it premiered.

The first episode of the second season garnered a 22% viewership rating, making it a savior and a miracle for the small screen.

After all, this isn't 2003, when "My Love from the Star" achieved a 42% rating on television during its rerun.

That meant countless people could only watch television at home.

It's already 2009!
As time goes by, the general trend is that fewer and fewer people are sitting in front of the television watching programs.

At first glance, the ratings for the second season of "Back to the Ming Dynasty" are only slightly higher than the 19.76% of the first episode of the first season.

But another year has passed, and the number of viewers has decreased significantly.

After all, large-screen smartphones such as the Apple 3G, Samsung Galaxy S2, and Meizu M8 have already accumulated huge sales in China.

This marks the beginning of the mobile era.

This Meizu M8 is better than the original.

Firstly, by paying the patent fee directly to Time for the design, there's no risk of being sued.

Secondly, there is a customized, perfect-level (Android/Time) operating system, and a large number of Time-related apps.

It targets the mid-range market and is half the price of Apple and Samsung.

Even though it gets hot during use, there are still issues such as unstable signal.

Meizu M8 remains a dominant brand in the mid-range smartphone market.

The second season of Back to the Ming Dynasty was a hit with television, attracting viewers back to the show.

From Hu Ge and Chen Xiao to Li Qin, and then to Liu Yifei and Zhang Bozhi.

They also aired an ad at the beginning of the TV series, wishing everyone a happy summer vacation and welcoming movie fans to go to the cinema to watch Let the Bullets Fly.

The promotional campaign for "Bullet Fly" began on the evening of the 18th.

The bullet's momentum was off the charts.

On the evening of June 19th, the second episode of the second season of Back to the Ming Dynasty easily surpassed a 25% viewership rating.

The following three and four episodes also maintained a stable 25% or higher rating.

Coupled with the renewed popularity and sales of the original online novel, this represents a phenomenal level of popularity in the transition from online text to the small screen.

Hu Ge, Chen Xiao, Li Qin, Liu Yifei, and others appeared at the Bullet Fly roadshow every day.

These individuals are popular because they suppress Jiang Wen, He Qing, and others.

The frenzy across the country and the level of discussion surrounding the topic have exploded time and time again, spreading from Weibo to Tencent, 360 and other online communities.

Huiming and Zidanfei basically dominated 80% of the trending topics.

The phenomenal topic also brought about a staggering box office performance.

(The Founding of a Republic) was pulled from theaters on the 18th, with a cumulative box office of 14.52 billion yuan in mainland China.

"Let the Bullets Fly" achieved a 90% screening rate over its opening weekend, generating 1.7 million RMB in box office revenue in mainland China.

That's basically nearly 6000 million a day!
Not only is the box office performance phenomenal, but the bullets are also getting high ratings on everyone's social media, starting at 9.0.

Countless fans were unable to see Lao Li at the roadshow, which sparked a wave of calls online for Lao Li to participate in the roadshow.

This is when the official Weibo account of the (Lucy 2) production team released a public update.

He posted a few stills to explain that Lao Li was filming "Superbody 2".

The topic suddenly veered off course again!
Lucy 2? Lucy? When did the sequel to Lucy start filming?

Currently, Chinese audiences really enjoy Hollywood superhero movies and movies with big special effects.

Otherwise, the box office of various Marvel, King Kong, and DC films wouldn't be so high.

When it comes to large-scale special effects in modern Chinese cities, "Lucy" is definitely a pioneer.

It is also China's first serious soft science fiction blockbuster.

The movie "Lucy," released in January 2006, grossed 4.92 million yuan at the Chinese box office.

It has now been pushed out of the top 20 of the box office rankings.

The fact that 4.92 million yuan was squeezed out is enough to demonstrate the booming market.

But the sentimentality built up by Lucy still exists, just like other sentimental series!

As soon as the news came out, countless fans were reminded of the original story and rushed to the Time Video to watch Super Sports 1.

After watching the first season of Superbody, more and more people are getting even more excited.

A sequel to Lucy? This is insane!

Two years ago, fans who felt they hadn't seen enough Transformers on the big screen were calling for them to switch sides immediately if the Lucy sequel was well made.

I've gone from being a fan of Hollywood blockbusters to a fan of Chinese blockbusters.

This is the beginning of a new topic, drawing more and more ordinary people into the "bullet-flying bombardment" camp.

Various topics, and then the start of the 8th era of Liu Shishi and the Big Secret.

The second season of Back to the Ming Dynasty continues to dominate the small screen.

"Let the Bullets Fly" achieved a 90% screening rate in its second week in mainland China, which still managed to generate 4.13 million yuan in box office revenue.

5.83 million in mainland China in ten days.

Even amidst the massive publicity campaign, countless people knew that on July 3rd, the third Friday after the release of "Bullets Fly," "Transformers 2" would also be released.

It will take away about half of the screenings from "Bullets Fly".

But this data is still too astonishing.

The shocking news caused countless people both inside and outside the industry to wonder if 09 marked the beginning of a full-fledged billion-dollar era for mainland China's box office.

It's grossed nearly 600 million in ten days. If it continues to be shown for another three or four weeks, breaking 100 million will be a piece of cake!

This trend is similar to that of "The Founding of a Republic" during the May Day holiday.

Of course, there are still some voices online discussing whether the 14 billion figure for the founding of the People's Republic of China is inflated.

There are too many tickets for official duties and tickets for personal connections, and large-scale business bookings for events with a focus on the main theme.

But the nearly 600 million yuan spent in the ten days of "Let the Bullets Fly" is something that cannot be attacked from the outside.

The 6 million yuan box office represents the initial publicity and promotion.

Jiang Wen, who was relatively "low-key and unknown," suddenly became a sensation.

During the third week of promotional roadshow for "Bullets Fly," Jiang Wen, as both director and lead actor, finally attracted a lot of attention.

Jiang Wen, at least, became one of the most eye-catching people, just like Hu Ge and Li Qin.
