China Entertainment Times

Chapter 39 Lu Chuan Smiles
On the first day of its release, there were not many viewers who had watched the movie, but the story of "Shark Beach" was novel, and many viewers were willing to share their viewing experience with others.

However, around noon, an article in the Xinlang entertainment section caught the attention of many viewers. It was said that Tang An had completed the filming of the movie alone by taking on several roles.

This question has also been raised by other viewers, but they didn't delve too deeply into it.

Even the three film critics spent their pen and ink on the film itself, regardless of whether Tang An was hyping it or not.

"The best movie in the entertainment industry in 2004, the funniest joke, and the worst hype!"

The title uses three most words in a row, making the audience curious to click in.

"The reporter of this newspaper had watched "Shark Beach" at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain before. Two awards, Feature Film and Audience Choice Award, well deserved!"

"However, at the premiere of the film last night, I saw a big joke. Except for the heroine, all the main creative staff of the film are actually directed by Tang An. Films participating in the film festival do not need to list the main creators and actors. I typed them all up, and the author naturally didn’t know it at the time, but it’s a joke in the world, counting ancient and modern times, China and foreign countries, even if it’s a movie shot with a portable DV, it’s impossible for one person to complete it alone.”

"I feel a little heartbroken. This should be a classic movie, but it has been stained by the director's hype. Does he think that the audience will be curious and walk into the movie theater?"

The person who posted this article is Li Zhiye, a reporter from Xinlang. He is really angry. Why does such a good movie have to use crooked ways to hype it up!

But he still ignored the curious nature of human beings, and some people actually went to the cinema after reading this news.

"It's so funny, the whole crew is alone, if making a movie is so simple, then I will go too!"

"I heard that Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet" crew has more than 300 people. Isn't he kidding?"

"I'm a little curious about what I said, what kind of movie is the best movie of the year to deserve this title!"

"The movie reviews of reporter Xinlang are still trustworthy. I hope this reporter's taste is similar to mine!"

Audiences have a relatively high level of trust in journalists these days, and many audiences have already begun to think about when to watch it for the title of the best movie of the year.

There was a lot of quarrel on the Internet, but Tang An didn't know it. He took Yang Mi to eight movie theaters in one day, and he didn't stop all day. He even watched eight movies with him, and contributed some movies to himself. Tickets, no time to watch the news at all.

However, some movie fans gave a positive answer when they mentioned that the crew only gave him an affirmative answer.

At 6:[-] p.m., a group of three came to the last movie theater of the day. At this time, China Film also counted the box office again and sent it to Tang An's mobile phone.

62 million!
Seeing this number, Tang An was stunned, confirmed it several times, and resisted the urge to call for confirmation.

Lin Sheng shouldn't make a mistake about this trivial matter, and it's unlikely that he would joke with him.

That is to say, the box office has increased by 46 in one day, and the trend is already very good!

According to this momentum, it is estimated that today's box office will break through one million. The previous goal of 700 million can be raised, and it is even possible to break through [-] million!
At this moment, Yang Mi complained again, "Brother An, can we go back after we finish this movie theater!"

When Yang Mi first came out, Yang Mi was still very interested, and he would not refuse to sign autographs for fans, but he couldn't stand it after running for a day.

"Why, can't take it anymore? This is still wandering around the capital. If you run all over the country in the future, you will suffer only if you go to one city a day!" Tang An turned to look at her and smiled.

"But my feet are already sore!" Yang Mi said with a wrinkled face.

Tang An looked at Yang Mi and Xu Manyun. They obviously had no such experience, and their bodies were not used to it.

"Then let me tell you good news. The box office of our movie has already reached 60. It is estimated that there will be no problem breaking one million today!" Tang An said with a smile.

"Really?" Yang Mi immediately became energetic after hearing this, and asked, "Can we have a box office of 100 million today?"

"One million on the first day is already an outstanding achievement. As long as the word of mouth is good, there is hope for more than 100 million!"

Xu Manyun also knows the meaning of 100 million on the first day, not to mention that this is not a film of a famous director or star. To achieve this result without any popularity, it is basically guaranteed to break through [-] million.

"It should be stable. Let's go. After running to the last movie theater, go back and have a good sleep. You will know when you wake up tomorrow!"

At 7:[-] p.m., the premiere ceremony of "Kekexili" directed by Lu Chuan was held at UME International Cinema in DC.

Compared with Tang An's "Shark Beach", the ostentation of "Kekexili" was much bigger. All the stars of Huayi were present and walked the red carpet.

Lu Chuan greeted the guests there confidently, and it seemed that he had regained his confidence.

"Boss Wang, you are here!"

Huayi Media Chairman Wang Zhongjun also came to join in.

"Director Lu is very energetic, I hope the audience responds well today!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, "Kekexili" will definitely bring different shocks to the audience!" Lu Chuan raised his head slightly and said confidently.

"That's good. We have a lot of opponents in the National Day file. "New Police Story" has just been released, and "3" has already received 600 million box office in three days after its release. Although "Zhang Side" has a high box office, it does not occupy the lineup. For that movie "Shark Beach", according to statistics from China Film Group, the box office in the early hours of the morning has already reached 16!" Wang Zhongjun said worriedly.

Now Huayi is not the entertainment empire of later generations, and "Kekexil" invested 700 million yuan is not too small, and it is heartbreaking to lose.

"It's already 16 yuan in the early hours of the morning?" Lu Chuan was also a little surprised. It's very rare for a movie without any reputation to win more than [-] yuan in the early hours of the morning!
After a quick chat, Lu Chuan took out his mobile phone and skillfully opened Xinlang, the largest portal in China, to see what he found now.

Lu Chuan laughed when he saw the side article saying that Tang An was the only one on the crew of "Shark Beach".

That Tang An really used all kinds of gimmicks, why not just act by himself and replace the heroine with the hero, wouldn't it be more attractive?

Lu Chuan knew that this would definitely cause criticism from many directors in the circle. After all, there are hundreds of people on the crew, and you made the movie by yourself, so don't be so ruthless even if you are bragging.

What would the ignorant audience think?
Take a look at the director of "Shark Beach", if he can make a movie by himself, you guys need hundreds of people to eat?
