Chapter 97 The night with Shi Shi! Crazy box office! [Please subscribe for more updates]
"ah!?"
Liu Yifei's long eyelashes trembled slightly.
The fairy girl was startled for a moment, then she suddenly braked and the Porsche almost hit the wall.
"Ah what? Drive carefully."
Shu Chang leaned over and smiled meaningfully: "Sissi, if you react so strongly, you have a good impression of her, right?"
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
Liu Yifei denied three times in a row. Her little hands holding the steering wheel suddenly tightened, and her crystal-white ears were instantly flushed. She freed up her right hand in annoyance, and gently patted Shu Chang's long legs:
"Why don't I give it to you? We are friends. If you like it, just pursue it yourself."
"hiss!"
Shu Chang took an exaggerated breath: "Qian Qian, you don't know how to practice martial arts anymore, it hurts so much."
"I'm sorry. I've been practicing for more than half a year and learned some moves from my martial arts teacher. I didn't hurt you, did I?"
Liu Yifei said nervously, taking advantage of the traffic light, she quickly rubbed Shu Chang's hand.
"Haha, Sissi, I'm just teasing you."
Shu Chang felt that teasing this girl was more fun than petting a cat. He chuckled and said, "However, according to my experience, if a man like Zhou Yutang doesn't do it early, it will be too late."
……………………
"Wow! I didn't expect everyone liked it so much!"
After coming out of the cinema, Liu Shishi was also pleasantly surprised when he thought of the almost full audience with their excited expressions and chatter.
She held Zhou Yutang's arm tightly with her small hands. Where the curve should be, it was small and large, because the arc undulated due to her rapid breathing.
It felt like I was in a dream.
First, Nightshade in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" became a hit, and then the first movie starring the protagonist also received such a warm response from the audience.
"Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is a script written by Zhou Yutang.
"Those Years" is also a work by Zhou Yutang.
All because of Zhou Yutang.
I originally wanted to say something like thank you to Zhou Yutang, but I thought of the agreement between the two of them, so I took it back.
Liu Shishi smiled sweetly and held Zhou Yutang's arm tighter and tighter.
Sorry and thank you.
There is no need to say more about this kind of thing.
The two men, fully armed, came out of the theater. Zhou Yutang glanced at the time on his Omega watch. The hour hand was almost pointing to two in the morning.
However, Liu Shishi's gentle and beautiful little face did not look sleepy at all. Instead, she excitedly asked him questions, which was quite helpless.
"Want to eat ice cream?"
"Why do you still eat ice cream on a cold day?"
"It just feels good when you eat it in cold weather."
"Okay, I want the strawberry flavor. Let's indulge for the last time tonight!"
Zhou Yutang took Liu Shishi to buy two ice creams.
We got in the car while shopping and eating.
He looked extremely relaxed.
If Zhou Yutang was a little nervous before, then tonight he saw the attendance in the screening room and the audience's reaction.
He knew it in his heart.
Dianying's good reputation continues to ferment, and with subsequent publicity, it will inevitably attract audiences to enter the cinema and live out a youthful dream of the past.
"Hey, why aren't you nervous at all?"
Seeing Zhou Yutang who looked calm next to him, Liu Shishi tugged on his arm and asked speechlessly: "Yu Tang, how much do you think the box office can be? It should be 30 million, right?"
She has never made a movie, but she did some online research and learned some professional knowledge.
With a box office of more than 30 million, it is basically not a loss.
"There's nothing to be nervous about."
Zhou Yutang held Liu Shishi's little hand and said calmly: "I think it should be multiplied by at least three."
"Don't be ridiculous."
Liu Shishi couldn't believe it.
"I am serious."
Zhou Yutang had a calm and confident smile on his face.
Liu Shishi opened her mouth into an O shape, wanting to say something, but couldn't.
This look is really cute.
What a joke!
Thirty million times three, the box office is 90 million?
There were many zeros in Shi Shi's mind at the same time.
There are so many movies released in China this year, but only a few can reach this number.
Only "Lust, Caution" directed by Li Anda, Chen Kexing's "Vote", Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly" and Zhou Xingchi's "Yangtze River No. 7" in the Lunar New Year holiday have exceeded 100 million at the box office.
Multiplied by three times what Zhou Yutang said is 90 million, which is only one step away from breaking 100 million.
"It's so late today, come and sit at my house for a while."
"Um."
Liu Shishi also seemed to realize something and nodded slightly.
Her gentle and beautiful face turned red instantly.
Those black and clear eyes glanced at Zhou Yutang quickly and then lowered his head.
Most of all, the shyness of bowing her head gave rise to a breathtaking beauty.
the next day.
Zhou Yutang was woken up by Li Shuang's call.
"What's wrong, Sister Shuang?"
"Are you still sleeping? Get up and watch the news. You and Shi Shi are on the headlines."
"Let me see"
Zhou Yutang turned over very gently and saw Liu Shishi still sleeping next to him, revealing his fair shoulders.
Shi Shi's sleeping posture was very good, his breathing was even, and he didn't know what beautiful things he dreamed of. His gentle and beautiful face had a slight smile.
While washing up, I listened to Sister Shuang's work report.
Pour yourself a glass of water.
Turn on the laptop again.
"Liu Tianxian is a thing of the past, Shushan Sword Immortal Zhou Yutang loves little Liu Tianxian!"
"The popular young student Zhou Yutang went on a night trip to the capital with Xiaohua from the Tang Dynasty. The two were inseparable and so sweet that others envied them!"
"The anonymous whistleblower revealed that Zhou Yutang's real girlfriend is revealed!"
"A few days ago, a professional entertainment reporter photographed Zhou Yutang and Liu Shishi, a young lady from the Tang Dynasty, meeting up for a trip to the capital. The two had collaborated in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3". It is suspected that they fell in love with each other because of the hit movie "Those Years". After dinner in the restaurant, we went straight to the cinema. During the period, we behaved intimately, each had an ice cream, and Liu Shishi smiled like a flower."
That's it?
I thought I was photographed and came to my home.
Zhou Yutang drank water calmly.
He is used to drinking water first when he wakes up every day.
"did you see?"
Sister Shuang's tone was full of excitement: "Haha, it's on the headlines again. It's popular. Let's wait and see the box office performance."
"Sister Shuang, you have changed."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed.
As his manager, Sister Shuang's attitude towards the scandal rumors about him used to be "Why did the scandal spread? This is not good, it will lose fans", but slowly changed to "Yu Tang, you have to restrain yourself a little, remember You are a star," and then "Oh, there are rumors of an affair with so-and-so, this photo was taken from a good angle."
Sister Shuang also followed him and showed off.
Zhou Yutang is really not the type to play around.
Otherwise, with his face + talent + money, there are very few female celebrities in this circle who can withstand such lethality.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah"
While he was talking to Sister Shuang, Liu Shishi seemed to be awakened in the bed. His delicate white hands stretched out from the bed and let out a low moan of unknown pitch.
"Is this Shi Shi?"
Li Shuang has good hearing and instantly recognized the owner of the voice. In order to avoid embarrassment, he finally hung up the phone and said: "That's it for now. I'll come to the studio later. I have something important to say."
"you're awake?"
Looking at Liu Shishi, who had just woken up and looked a little cute, Zhou Yutang pursed his lips in a gentle arc.
"Um."
Liu Shishi realized that Zhou Yutang was talking to someone on the phone, and huddled under the quilt like an ostrich.
It's over, others have heard it.
"It's Sister Shuang, it's okay."
Zhou Yutang explained with a smile.
Liu Shishi also knew that Li Shuang was his personal manager, but there was still a blush on his crystal-white ears.
We originally agreed to chat together last night, but I don’t know why the chat turned into hugging, hugging, and then kissing.
Then
What happens next is a matter of course.
After returning to bed with the computer in his arms, Zhou Yutang started brushing up on the scandal with great interest.
This guy took the photo this time and it looked like he was a professional.
The few photos I took were clearer than the ones I took with Liu Tianxian last time.
Although Zhou Yutang in the picture is wearing a mask, his tall and tall figure makes it easy to recognize him at a glance.
Next to him, Liu Shishi also wore a cap and a mask, a black down jacket and jeans, and a pair of small boots. His hands were behind his back, and his face was tilted up, as if he was listening to Zhou Yutang's words. His temperament was gentle and his appearance was indescribably beautiful. .
"Hello, Sister Cai?"
Zhou Yutang was very calm and dialed Cai Yinong's number directly.
"Yu Tang, did you call me so early?"
Mr. Cai's voice on the phone sounded like he was in a good mood.
"When you issue a press release, you should also pay attention to your wording."
Zhou Yutang got straight to the point and pointed out the problem directly: "Shi Shi is Shi Shi. Don't always involve Liu Tianxian in marketing in the future. It is too easy for Shi Shi to get into trouble."
"."
Cai Yinong was silent for a while and then said: "The people below are used to publishing manuscripts, so their wages have to be deducted."
See, this is the art of leadership, never taking the blame.
There are also routines in promoting scandals in the entertainment industry. News are usually revealed when movies and TV series are aired, mainly for the sake of popularity.
Regarding the scandal between Zhou Yutang and Liu Shishi, Cai Yinong had already prepared a set of combination punches.
Let the information go out first, don't rush to clarify, wait for the heat to ferment, and then go out and refute the rumors personally.
He said that Zhou Yutang was having a work dinner and stopped by to see the box office performance of "Those Years". The two are very good friends and thanked the fans for their concern.
Then they cooperated with Zhou Yutang's studio and Tangren Film and Television to jointly issue a statement, warning entertainment reporters not to make random reports, otherwise they would issue a lawyer's letter
Zhou Yutang was lying flat and broken anyway.
The character of a romantic and talented man.
Scandals are scandals, it doesn't matter.
After chatting with Cai Yinong, Zhou Yutang took a sip of water.
"It's your reward."
Liu Shishi, who had just finished washing, probably heard the content of the chat just now. There were stars in his eyes, and he took the initiative to come up and give her a kiss.
"Is this the reward?"
"Then what else do you want?"
"Well!"
He didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning.
Zhou Yutang could feel that Liu Shishi was very happy.
When Shi Shi debuted, people in the Tang Dynasty sent out press releases all over the place, and they were basically all related to Liu Yifei.
Shi Shi herself was helpless about this kind of thing. Later, she made it clear in an interview, "Actually, I am very similar to Liu Yifei, but I am more like my mother. I am Liu Shishi."
Artists have no say in front of the company.
What she thinks doesn't matter either.
Mr. Cai is well versed in the art of hype. It is naturally beneficial for her to do this. At least it brought a lot of traffic to Liu Shishi when she was not famous.
But now that Zhou Yutang is there, there is no need for this.
Long Kui in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" has attracted a lot of fans for Liu Shishi and laid a certain foundation.
Now coupled with the movie "Those Years", which is about to become a hit, this little Liu Tianxian's reputation can almost be taken off.
Liu Shishi's fans are called little lions, and their fighting power is still very strong.
"Have a good rest, the door lock code is my birthday."
Last night was a bit intense, which made it inconvenient for Shi Shi today. Zhou Yutang made a simple love breakfast using local materials and thoughtfully.
After the two enjoyed it, they asked her to recuperate at her home and go on a promotional trip with Sister Fen and Xiao Tao tomorrow.
As for Zhou Yutang, he had breakfast and went back to the studio.
"Sister Shuang, what's going on with you?"
Zhou Yutang was shocked when he saw the dark circles on Sister Shuang's face that couldn't even be covered by foundation, and she still looked excited.
"Boss, Sister Shuang didn't sleep all night last night."
Zhao Liying came up and reported.
"Can't sleep, can't sleep at all."
Li Shuang stared at the dark circles under his eyes and said with great interest: "I also went to see a movie last night, and the response was very good. I came back and browsed the forums and forums all night. I bought all the newspapers in the morning and was waiting for Li Xiaoping's box office statistics report. "
"Sister Shuang, you'd better go and take a nap. How can your body survive such a long time?"
Zhou Yutang's mouth twitched slightly.
Sister Shuang, you are really a model worker. You work harder than me, so I will work overtime until five o'clock.
After finally persuading Sister Shuang to take a nap in her office, Zhao Liying had the foresight to make a cup of hot tea for Zhou Yutang.
Wenwen accompanied Zeng Li to become a village girl. Now there are not many people available in the studio. Xiao Zhao is very diligent and comes to the studio to help when there is nothing.
This is also influenced by the beauty in Tsing Yi, and Zhou Yutang always has tea in his office.
"Thanks."
Zhou Yutang glanced at Zhao Liying, and the little bun face became more pleasing to his eyes: "Xiao Zhao, go and get me all the newspapers that Sister Shuang bought."
"Eh."
Zhao Liying trotted quickly and soon came in holding a small stack of newspapers.
"Okay, you should rest for a while. I will take you on this promotional run."
"Thank you boss, call me if you need anything."
Zhao Liying responded happily, and did not forget to close the door lightly when she went out.
"Welcome to School Together" has been finalized. The first season has been negotiated with Mango TV, and the broadcast time is to be determined.
The scripts for the next few seasons have not been written yet. Zhou Yutang is currently focused on movies and has no time at all. He asked Sister Shuang to recruit people, but it is not easy to recruit capable new screenwriters.
First, I turned on my computer and looked at the entertainment portal.
very good.
The homepages of Sina and Sohu Entertainment are all about "Those Years" related topics, and the level of discussion is definitely top-notch.
Looking at the desk, the dozen newspapers that Xiao Zhao carried over were neatly placed.
I read a few newspapers at random, and some of them were about his scandal with Liu Shishi. The rest of the newspapers were basically reports on "Those Years" and "Slam Dunk".
Zhou Yutang felt that it seemed that these newspapers were deliberately creating an atmosphere of a biweekly war.
Pulling and suppressing is also a common tactic of the media.
""The Girls We Chased Together in Those Years" was released and the seats were packed!"
"Zhou Yutang wrote, directed and acted in the movie, a youth story that romantic talents must watch!"
"You must have dreams in life! "Slam Dunk": a big platter of youth sports movies!"
"Jay Chou gave up his hits for the movie!"
"In the bi-weekly battle, who wins? Zhou Yutang's "Those Years" VS Jay Chou's "Slam Dunk", a comprehensive review of both movies!"
In general.
"Those Years" and "Slam Dunk" received roughly the same amount of coverage.
Another part is about Zhou Xingchi's "Yangtze River No. 7", a film by Xingye. Needless to say, the current box office is 180 million.
It's just that this movie was released in late January and is almost over.
The marketing expenditure for "Those Years" alone was 5 million.
This is currently a very exaggerated figure.
The Rays attach great importance to this project and have invested a lot of resources. It is basically operated as an S-level project. TV media, newspaper media, and portal websites are in full bloom.
But "Slam Dunk" has Jay Chou as the king.
The king of Chinese music singers, his name alone is worth millions.
Jay Chou also worked very hard for the movie's box office. He handed over the Golden Melody Award in the province to Fang Wenshan, while he stayed in the mainland to promote it.
If there is a tie in terms of popularity, then the most important thing is the reputation of the two movies.
"Those Years" received immediate critical acclaim, while "Slam Dunk" has received negative reviews from many film critics.
In terms of overall praise, "Those Years" is far ahead of "Slam Dunk", which shows that although the two movies are of different genres, there is a certain gap in real quality.
Putting the newspaper aside, Zhou Yutang became more confident and walked to the office to look at the scene outside the window.
In his mind, he suddenly felt heroic.
The time, place and people are all right.
In this battle, I have the advantage.
……………………
Faith by faith.
Zhou Yutang also did not open champagne at halftime.
After Sister Shuang woke up, she and Guangguang's Li Xiaoping determined the next publicity plan.
Under the bombardment of early publicity reports, the good reputation + the quality of the movie itself were directly reflected in the box office.
Based on box office data from Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou and other regions, "Those Years" took in a box office of 12.8 million on its first day of release.
Since its release on February 7, "Slam Dunk" has grossed 30 million at the box office in two days, becoming the box office champion on the first and second days of the Lunar New Year.
Judging from the box office, it seems that "Slam Dunk" won the first place.
However, a large part of the people who bought tickets and went to the cinema in the first two days were fans of Jay Chou. After that, due to the continuous improvement of the film's quality reputation, the box office trend continued to decline.
And "Those Years" relied on its good reputation. The attendance rate exceeded 90% in the past few days, and the prime screenings were almost full, quickly occupying the movie-going market.
As one goes, the other goes, and there are also moves on the theater side.
Start adjusting the layout.
During the same period, these two films were basically competing.
Since the reputation of "Slam Dunk" cannot sustain the show, we will increase the schedule of "Those Years" in the future and gradually reduce the schedule of "Slam Dunk".
It's just so true.
Theater chains also need to make money.
"Those Years" can attract more viewers to watch it and make them more money. This is the last word.
And at this time.
A handsome boy named Jay Chou was coming out of the cinema with his head lowered.
The plump assistant Dani who was following him looked around warily, then her expression suddenly changed.
There should be an update today
