Huayu: Enjoy Yourself

Chapter 54 Food Film

Although this kind of lighthearted, refreshing film isn't really suitable for a director like Jiang Wen. 🍔💛 6999.com 🐺💲

However, some ordinary viewers still quite like it.

Chen An also gave the interview opportunity to Yu Jinghong this time, hiding in the background himself.

The interview has ended, and the film will officially begin its theatrical run tomorrow.

Local cinemas and film distributors had already purchased the film reels and could screen them all at once.

Winter scenery, snow-covered landscapes of the North, snow falling from the sky—"Little Forest: Winter and Spring" presents rare and picturesque snowscapes rarely seen in mainland China!

"Summer and autumn continue, winter is coming, and all the snow scenes that southern audiences have been eagerly anticipating are included!"

"The forest goddess, transformed into a winter fairy, is accompanied by a sky full of falling snowflakes, accompanied by ethereal music and a beautiful scene of drifting snowflakes!"

The lighthearted and relaxing film "Little Forest: Winter/Spring," perfect for couples, is here!

Dozens of industry professionals, including actors and directors, attended the premiere of "Little Forest: Winter/Spring," and gave it a standing ovation after the screening, indicating its immense popularity!

『.』

The media coverage was largely the same as last time, except for the presence of some celebrities, directors, and actors at the premiere.

With the previous film already showing, many couples have made plans to watch this one together.

After all, there are still very few movies in mainland cinemas that are suitable for young couples to watch together.

It's either a Hong Kong film that guys want to watch; this kind of lighthearted movie that both men and women like is still unique in mainland China.

The film officially premiered in mainland China on December 24.

With the existing audience base from the previous installment, there are still some people willing to continue watching.

Although most of the audience for the previous film went to see Chen An's new movie, quite a few people also liked this film.

With the DVDs of the previous film now widely available, there is a certain audience base for it.

Many viewers who only watched the DVD and didn't go to the theater were willing to bring their partners to the theater to spend Christmas Eve together.

Of course, it's mostly young people who like to do this.

The next day, Chen An, who was reading some comments online, received a call from Han Sanping:

"Two million four hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Breaking 20 million this time shouldn't be a problem, hahaha!"

The person on the other end of the phone was very happy, as the box office on the first day was more than double that of the previous film.

Chen An, sitting at his computer desk, smiled and said, "That's great. We should be able to earn quite a bit domestically. I hope our income can double over there too."

After promoting his product at Xiao Rizi last time, Chen An felt it had great potential.

"Are you going to go and promote it? It should have already been released there today."

"I'm not going. Yu Jinghong is much more useful than me over there."

Chen An had no intention of going there for publicity; Yu Jinghong was enough, and there were basically no problems there.

After chatting for a while and agreeing on a time to promote Xiao Rizi, Chen An hung up the phone first.

I turned around and scrolled through the comments, and they were all about my movie.

Moreover, they were all concentrated on the website where they had been arrested before, where netizens who wanted to discuss movies gathered.

"Hey netizens, has anyone seen Chen An's new movie? Maybe I'll go check it out too."

"You know what, the movie is just as good as the last one, but even better and more complete. It's best to bring your girlfriend; the visuals are like paintings."

"It's definitely a movie suitable for watching with your partner. It's lighthearted, and the music and visuals are beautiful. My girlfriend and I both really liked it and even want to visit the filming location. The behind-the-scenes footage shows it's in the Central Plains region; I didn't realize there were such beautiful places besides tourist attractions."

"It was alright. I treated it like a food movie. After watching it, I went home and ate three bowls of rice. It would have been even better if I could bring my own food."

"You can ask Chen An about this. With netizens watching, he wouldn't dare lie to you. Go ask him in the comments."

『.』

These people started to enjoy talking about movies here, especially Chen An's films.

People would occasionally go to Chen An's comments section to ask how the movie was, and Chen An could only look at them.

This place has gathered many of Chen An's fans, and their reviews of the movie are generally positive. Of course, there are also those who come to leave negative reviews.

Chen An really wanted to curse back, but he held back his curses and thought, "This brat is not worth talking to."

After watching for a while, Chen An picked up the phone and called Yu Jinghong to inform her of the box office success on the first day and the time to go to Xiao Rizi for promotion.

Just two days later, after all, such a large vote bank definitely needs to be taken seriously.

……

The success of the opening day's box office boosted media coverage and attracted more people to the cinema.

Many of them are young couples or people who are about to become couples.

It is quite popular in major first-tier cities.

It grossed just over three million at the box office on December 25th, even more than on the first day.

It's a foregone conclusion that the domestic box office will surpass that of the first film, so the promotion of "Little Life" is even more important now.

The results there were even better than in China, so Chen An stayed in the country to promote the cause.

Immediately send Yu Jinghong to a small-town family and promote her there; she's much more popular than Chen An over there.

Her elegant appearance has garnered her a large number of devoted fans, who, influenced by anime and manga, really like this type of girl.

Over the course of a week, from Wednesday to Sunday the 24th, the box office revenue reached 10.4 million.

Breaking 10 million in five days!

It completely surpassed the box office of the previous film, and the predicted box office target is set at 30 million!

Media outlets praised it as another success for Chen An, noting that the two films were co-invested.

The first film has already recouped its costs and left a small profit. If the two films are combined, the total could reach 50 million.

Undoubtedly another success!

Although the box office later dropped by two million, only a little over one million, it had only been five days since the film was released, so there was still a long time to go.

This time, Han Sanping has increased its promotional efforts to maximize box office revenue before piracy occurs.

He was on the phone cursing and swearing, saying that one day he would take down those internal pirates.

Since partnering with Chen An, they have achieved one great victory after another, making their position even more secure.

He was increasingly annoyed by these pirates, but for the time being, he was at a loss as to what to do.

However, Chen An no longer cared about the box office at this point.

He went to great lengths to bring his parents from his hometown to Beijing, and although he told them to take a plane, they chose to take the train instead.

Chen An waited outside the train station in his car, wearing a mask and holding up a sign just like his father had waited for him when he returned home.

It was also the first time that his parents had traveled so far from home, so Chen An waited at the station early to pick them up.

He drove her back to her courtyard house.

Chen An couldn't go back home for the Spring Festival this year, so he simply invited his parents to come over for the holiday and take a look at the house he bought to make them happy.

With them around, we can celebrate the New Year anywhere.

After getting into the car, Mom looked around and asked Chen An questions one by one, and Chen An explained to her one by one.

When she arrived at the courtyard house, it was even more incredible. She had only ever seen this kind of thing in TV dramas, never in a real one.

The mother was very happy as her son, who had left home on his own, had already achieved great success. She chatted with him non-stop.

The old father was very happy, but also a little melancholy. Every father hopes his son will become successful, and his son has succeeded at such a young age.

He must have endured so much hardship, all by himself.

After bringing the two elders to the capital, Chen An did not stop, after all, "The Dream Factory" was about to be released.

Chen An will definitely go. Uncle Ge said so, and Han Sanping also told him that he couldn't possibly not go.

The film "Party A, Party B" also held a premiere.

However, not as many people were invited as Chen An; instead, Feng Xiaogang greeted Chen An.

He smiled and thanked Chen An, saying, "Director Chen, thank you so much for the honor."

"It's only fair to reciprocate. You came to my premiere, so I definitely have to come to yours," Chen An replied with a smile.

Originally scheduled for release on December 24, "The Dream Factory" was postponed by a week and rescheduled for New Year's Day, January 1.

Although both are New Year's Day films, it's not a big problem. There will be an impact, but the target audience is different.

Moreover, his film's main box office market is in small towns, although the revenue share is less than that in mainland China.

But you can't stop the fact that its box office is several times higher than that of domestic films!
