Chapter 1019 Psychological Problems

As long as he stays in the company, the executives will always come to Zhou Xia for something, and he will always have things that he can't finish.

This is also Zhou Xia's long-term decision-making is extremely wise, the things arranged have been realized, and the company's senior management has accumulated trust in him, and even formed a dependence.

But Zhou Xia felt a little tired these days.

He just hopes that the movie will be released as soon as possible, and then he will start shooting new movies, stay away from the company, and focus on what he likes.

Time passed quickly, more than ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and finally came the day of the premiere of "Descendants of Yanhuang".

Prior to this, "Little Times 4" had been released in theaters for 12 days.

Sure enough, as expected by the industry, after sweeping the country in the first three days and earning over 6 million box office, in the second week, as word-of-mouth of the movie spread, fans watched the movie over, the popularity of the movie dropped, and the box office plummeted.

During the five working days from the 13th to the 17th, the average box office was only 3000 million per day. On the two days of Saturday and Sunday, the 18th and 19th, a total of 9500 million box office was received. In the second week, the total box office was 2.6 million. In a week, the decline was as high as 60%.

On the 20th and 21st of the third week, a total of 3000 million box office was received, and the total box office of this movie came to 9.2 million.

Next, when "Descendants of Yanhuang" is released, the film schedule will be compressed, and "Little Times 4" will have no problem breaking through 10 billion, but if you want to go higher, you have to see how many passers-by will enter to watch the movie.

Except for "Little Times 4", the other movies that were released also achieved fairly good box office as the summer students went on vacation on a large scale.

"Gardenia Blossoms", which was released on the same day as "Little Times 4", also broke through 1.1 million at the box office on its first day of release, earning 2.4 million, and [-] million in the first three days.

But the follow-up collapsed faster than "Little Times 4". It only won 1.2 million box office in the second week, and the total box office so far is 3.7 million. The box office potential is obviously over.

On the contrary, "Xiu Chun Knife", which had been compressed due to the release of the new film, after the impact of the first week of these two new films, has made steady progress in the follow-up, but gradually surpassed these two films.

In the second week of release, from July 7th to July 6th, it won a total of 7 million box office. In the third week of release, from July 12th to July 5.8th, it won a box office of 7 million, and won the weekly box office again. The champion, plus the box office of 13 million in the first week, and the box office of 7 million in the two days of 19 and 4.2.

Relying on word-of-mouth, this ancient costume action movie is not very entertaining, but sincere and heartfelt. After 20 days of release, the total box office has quietly reached 14 billion.

The box office ranks fifth in the box office of domestic films this year, only lower than "Sword of the Immortal Sword", "Monster Hunt", "Blossoms on the Road", and "The Return of the Great Sage" released in the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival.

And according to the current trend, even if "Descendants of Yanhuang" is released, the film schedule of this film will not be compressed. After applying for the key to postpone the screening, I believe it can continue to reap a certain amount of box office.

Zhou Xia was a little overjoyed that the movie earned over 14 billion at the box office.

Due to the strengthening of the cast, greater investment, better production, and the marketing announcement of Xia Hua Film and Television, Zhou Xia originally thought that the box office of this movie might be around 8 million, but he didn't expect it to be so strong.

Now it seems that it is mainly because of the fight with director Chen Da, coupled with the creation of the "tragic character", the so-called sacrificed pawns, which won the attention of many passers-by for this movie, attracting them to enter the theater to watch the movie.

In short, "Embroidered Spring Knife" changed from a supporting role to a leading role during its release, thus gaining the greatest support from the audience.

In contrast, from "Taoist Descending the Mountain" to "Little Times 4" and "Gardenia Blossoms" released later, and those indifferent films are just various supporting roles, here to be compared and defeated.

In addition to these few films, Xiahuayinghua Film and Television Shu's "The Future" was released on June 6th in the summer, and it was released a few days ago, a month after its release.

After the film was released in June, it had grossed over 6 billion at the box office by the end of the month.

After entering July, due to the increase in the number of new films released, and Xiahua Film and Television's promotional investment in "Tiny Times 7", the film schedule has been squeezed, and it has been on the edge. The daily box office ranks around fifth in the daily box office.

In 7 days in July, a total of 19 million box office was harvested, and the final total box office was 3.17 billion.

Judging from the current situation, the first three of Xiahua Film and Television's four key summer films have been realized and have exceeded the company's expectations, which also proves that there is no problem with the company's schedule arrangement.

Then naturally it will be the grand finale, Zhou Xia's new movie will be released.

At 7:22 on the afternoon of Wednesday, July 05, the premiere of the film was held at the Xiahua Film and Television Three-Body Center.

Some domestic and foreign media participated in the movie premiere.

Reporters, photographers, and supportive fans on both sides of the red carpet, regardless of the temperature of over 30 degrees in summer, stood on both sides and waited for the guests to appear one by one.

The red carpet opened with supporting actors and actresses Zhu Yawen and Qingzi, followed by Zhang Zhao, president of Xiahua Film and Television, and Hou Yong, who played the commander in the movie.

Then came the other stars of Xia Hua Film and Television, as well as the executives and stars of other companies who came.

Zhou Xia and Yaya made their grand finale appearance.

Since last year's National Day, Wu Jing's military action movie "Wolf Warrior 1" has already achieved box office success.

Now, more than a year after the filming was completed, the adaptation of Zhou Xia's best-selling book, which he personally directed and starred in, is naturally more anticipated.

Some big directors in the company who have time also came to see this long-awaited film.

Zhou Xia and Yaya were chatting with Zhou Xingxing, Xu Guangtou, Lao Mouzi and others in the lounge.

These three people are all busy with film post-production, and they are all in the company. The time is very convenient, so they also came to this premiere.

Regarding the standard of the movie, Zhou Xia is still very confident.

Several test screenings organized by the company, on-site viewing reactions, and survey questionnaires show that more than [-]% of the praise has been received.

After seeing the movie in theaters, they agreed to Xiahua Film and Television's negotiation conditions, which also proved this point.

Soon, as several other people left the lounge and walked up the red carpet with the guests arranged by the company, only Zhou Xia and Yaya were left in the lounge.

Yaya returned to work during this period, and just finished filming "The Hypnotist".

During filming, because the heroine she plays is also a psychological master, she learned a lot of psychological knowledge. Recently, she always sends some questions on her mobile phone to test Zhou Xia.

Met today, waited until there was no one else in the room, she immediately started again.

"Yiyi, let me ask you a question, okay?"

Seeing the look full of curiosity on Yaya's beautiful face, Zhou Xia pretended not to hear what she said, stood up, straightened her suit and said, "Let's go, go to the bathroom, get ready, and walk on the red carpet right away. Then it’s two hours of movie viewing.”

"I've already been there, haven't you just been there too?" Yaya grabbed Zhou Xia's arm and continued to pester her.

"I know, hasn't it been two or three 10 minutes?" Zhou Xia shrugged.

"I have to go to the bathroom again in 10 minutes from two to three. Really, are you okay?" Yaya looked at Zhou Xia in surprise, and reached out her hand to his waist to press the position of the kidney.

Zhou Xia's expression turned ugly immediately: "Don't make trouble, I'm fine."

"Really, do you still have to go to the bathroom?" Yaya asked with a smile.

Of course, she could see that Zhou Xia didn't want to answer her question and delay the time.

"Okay, okay, just ask, Master Psychologist!" Zhou Xia had no choice but to sit down.

"Well... that's pretty much the same. There are nine most frequently asked questions in psychology. I've already asked you five. This time I'll ask you one more question. Listen carefully and answer seriously. Don't be perfunctory."

Satisfied, Yaya sat down next to Zhou Xia.

"Okay, tell me."

"What is your view on the parent-child relationship? For you, what does an ideal father look like, and do you expect yourself to be such an ideal father?"

..., as expected, it is this kind of question about the meaning of existence and what kind of person you want to be.

Zhou Xia complained in his heart, and looked at Yaya with a smile: "I haven't really considered this issue, everyone's opinions are not the same. Of course, I want to try my best to be a perfect father, who can be the kind of father who makes children grow up happily and teaches They have become kind, just, talented, virtuous, and well-bred fathers."

"Really, you only answered one question. What's your opinion on parent-child relationship?"

Of course Yaya was not satisfied with Zhou Xia's general answer, but she was not in a hurry to argue and continued to ask.
