I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.
Chapter 301: First Day Box Office Breaks Record
Having debuted for nearly thirty years and starred in over thirty films, this 49-year-old actress dares to post photos of her waistline flab while working out, and even when suspended by wires and feeling nauseous, she grits her teeth and acts like an actress.
Netizens say she lives her life like an RPG game, and they understand what it means to be a legend even when you're not actively involved in the game.
Li Xiaoran speaks frankly, and she does the same when chatting with Cheng Sheng. She dares to say anything. Besides asking how Scarlett tastes, she also asked Cheng Sheng if he wanted to taste the flavor of a Chinese woman.
That's so alluring.
Cheng Sheng couldn't take it anymore, and felt a surge of excitement within him.
Although Cheng Sheng was not a traitor to Cao Cao, he was biased towards his sister!
People like Zeng Li and Li Xiaoran, who are the same age, don't seem to have any interest in young girls like Jing Tian.
Compared to younger women, mature women, with their richer knowledge and experience, are less likely to rely excessively on their boyfriends and tend to give their partners enough freedom.
At the same time, they are relatively receptive and can be even more enthusiastic than boys when they play.
Although actresses like Jing Tian, Su Chang, and Liu Yifei are beautiful and charming, and are goddesses in men's eyes, they always seem to lack something.
If another ten or twenty years pass, they may be even more charming than Zeng Li and Li Xiaoran, but at that time they will still be a bit delicate.
Cheng Sheng was a little scared by Li Xiaoran's enthusiasm!
He wasn't afraid of anything else, but he was afraid of being hacked to pieces.
According to my memory, it was in this year that Li Xiaoran and Yan Po got together.
Yanpo, Meiting supported him for six years, giving all his earnings to the family, with no limit on his pocket money. He filmed, and she stood by.
The results of it?
While she was pregnant, he was outside with Li Xiaoran, watching a psychic ritual.
Psychic?
The spirit has been connected, connected to the sound of Mei Ting's heart breaking.
The paparazzi also captured intimate photos, with their hands almost sticking inside each other's clothes.
Mei Ting was still filming a crying scene on set while heavily pregnant; she really cried to the right person.
Love comes too fast, like a tornado, and goes too fast, like being slashed a dozen times.
In 2010, he was stabbed seventeen times, each stab a critical blow. Fortunately, the doctor was quick to save his life, but his hand was ruined and he could no longer hold a slingshot.
Who was the one who attacked people?
He is rumored to be Li Xiaoran's ex-boyfriend.
With such a terrifying ex-boyfriend around, Cheng Sheng is really scared!
However, things seem to be a little different now that the world is developing.
Mei Ting had already divorced Yan Po six months earlier than planned, and Mei Ting was not pregnant.
Li Xiaoran had no connection with Yanpo.
Even so, Cheng Sheng didn't dare to get close to Li Xiaoran, after all, her ex-boyfriend was also hiding in the shadows!
In addition to calls from his friends, Cheng Sheng also received calls from his parents.
He really didn't expect his parents to also pay attention to this news.
Before Cheng Sheng could say anything on the phone, his parents kept pressing him about his relationship with Scarlett.
Cheng Sheng's parents did not object to him becoming a couple with Scarlett, and even urged him to bring Scarlett home to meet them.
This left Cheng Sheng both amused and exasperated.
There was absolutely no possibility between him and Scarlett.
Their relationship was just a one-night stand after they got drunk; there was no emotional foundation between them at all.
Cheng Sheng spent a long time explaining on the phone before his parents finally understood that his relationship with Scarlett was just media speculation. Even after clarifying things, he still received a scolding from his parents, who told him to quickly find a girlfriend and bring her home, otherwise he wouldn't be coming home for Chinese New Year this year.
Cheng Sheng understands that parents want their daughter to get married early.
He was so moved that he wanted to tell his parents about his relationship with Zeng Li, but remembering Zeng Li's instructions, he could only hold back for now. He would discuss it with Zeng Li first, and then tell his parents about his relationship with Zeng Li to avoid them overthinking.
After reassuring his parents, Cheng Sheng posted a news article online, briefly explaining his relationship with Scarlett.
Whether netizens believe it or not is none of his business.
Anyway, as time goes by, the rumors will eventually be forgotten.
After a long day of phone calls, Cheng Sheng couldn't take it anymore and had to turn off his phone before comfortably lying at home.
As for Da Tiantian, she had already been sent back downstairs by Cheng Sheng.
After all, this girl has been here the whole time, so he's not in the mood to rest at all.
Early the next morning.
Cheng Sheng casually packed his luggage, planning to take a plane back to Xijiang in the morning to continue his filming career.
However, before leaving, he needed to find out how much the box office was on the opening day.
Instead of calling Xing Aina, he called Jiangsu Film Studio.
Jiangsu Ying is his spokesperson; she represents him within the company, so asking her about company matters is the most appropriate thing to do.
"Boss, it's a hit! Our box office is a hit! Guess how much 'Three Kingdoms' grossed on its opening day."
As soon as the call connected, before Cheng Sheng could even speak, Jiangsu Ying started rattling off a string of words.
Cheng Sheng's face darkened. This girl was getting bolder and bolder, actually asking him to guess. Did she even know who the boss was?
"Jiang Jiang, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and tell me," Cheng Sheng said in a deep voice.
On the other end of the phone, Jiangsu Film Studio member stuck out her tongue, realizing she had misspoke, and quickly replied, "The opening day box office was 90 million, almost breaking 100 million."
watt!
Ninety million!
Cheng Sheng was also dumbfounded.
Ninety million on the first day—that wouldn't be surprising at all back in 2010, since there are so many films that gross over 100 million on their opening day. Even bad films can easily break 100 million on their opening day if they're done well.
Take, for example, the terrible movie "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Great Hero," which still grossed 2.58 million yuan on its opening day.
The film's reception is truly baffling. Originally intended to evoke the audience's martial arts sentiments and expectations, it has been criticized as an "empty and stiff" film (lacking story, characters, and grand scenes) due to its drastically altered core, poorly developed characters, and excessive use of special effects.
The core of Jin Yong's martial arts novels is "the greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people." However, although the film focuses on Guo Jing's growth, it completely strips away this core spirit.
Ironically, at the end of the film, Guo Jing is seen roasting chicken and talking about love with Huang Rong amidst a battlefield littered with corpses, reducing the spirit of chivalry to a childish "love-struck" act.
How did such a terrible movie manage to garner 40% of the box office?
This is mainly due to classic IPs and the effect of traffic.
As an adaptation of Jin Yong's classic martial arts novel, the film "Bullet" has a huge fan base.
The participation of Xiao Zhan in the film also injected huge traffic into the movie. His personal influence covered the young audience, which drove the pre-sale box office to break through the 2 million mark and set a record for the Spring Festival pre-sale tickets in Chinese film history to break 2 million.
Of course, it is traffic that makes them and traffic that makes them fail.
Despite its box office success, the film suffered a critical backlash, with its production team being heavily criticized.
In this day and age, apart from Cheng Sheng's "The Great Tang Dynasty 1" which broke 80 million in daily box office, no other film has broken 40 million in daily box office.
The daily box office of "Three Kingdoms" is almost breaking 100 million yuan, which has shocked people in the entertainment industry.
The media also quickly followed up with reports on this matter. (End of Chapter)
