The interaction between Reba and Xiaoxi was cut into many slices and pushed on various platforms. If someone had a good idea, the two of them, well, the two of them formed a CP called "Little Xiba".
It’s not surprising, there are all kinds of crazy CPs on the Internet.
For example, Lin Daiyu and Voldemort, Bai Zhantang and Harry Potter, the Seven Fairies and Calabash Baby, Sun Wukong and Liu Yifei, Kudo Shinichi and Hua Fei...
Meizu took advantage of the situation and launched a public beta event, distributing 1,000 units of Xiaoxi to allow 1,000 lucky netizens to experience it first.
Next year will be the first year of smart speakers in China. Big manufacturers have entered the market one after another. Now that it is ahead of schedule, Meizu has become unique. In the future, ordinary smart speakers will be called black technology. It is a bit exaggerated to say that they are surprising and innovative.
Not an exaggeration.
After the Spring Festival, Xiaoxi officially went on sale.
This will be a pre-order, and it has already exceeded one million units.
As for the smart home ecology created by Meizu, the total sales volume of the entire series of products has exceeded 60 million units, focusing on TVs, routers, and now an additional speaker.
There are also sockets, cameras, desk lamps, humidifiers, balancing cars, etc., which have been extended to hundreds of products.
Seeing the popularity, Bai Yongxiang simply invited Reba and Liu Yifei to serve as Xiaoxi's spokesperson.
Now Liu Yifei does not insist on making any movies with female protagonists, but is deeply cultivating traffic. The movie includes the Youth Trilogy, and the TV series has grabbed a lot of resources. She is well-deserved to be the female star with the first traffic and commercial value.
Oh no, there is also Fan Xiaopang, but Fan Xiaopang will be banned soon.
So Liu Yifei and Reba are now on the same track, and both are developing in the direction of top female stars. This is also Yu Jiajia's plan - otherwise, do you still expect them to win awards?
…………
The annual Lunar New Year festival is back on fire again.
On the surface, it seems to be the same as in previous years, with Hollywood, domestic blockbusters, comedies, literature and art, and great directors, but in fact, the box office is all over the place.
This pounce means not meeting expectations.
"Railway Tigers" starring Jackie Chan only had 690 million, and "The Ferryman" only had 480 million. Wang Baoqiang's debut "Havoc in Tianzhu" exceeded expectations, with a box office of more than 700 million, but it had a poor reputation and was nominated for the Golden Broom Award.
"The Demise of Romance" has a good reputation, but is too literary and has a box office of 120 million.
This is also the last watchable movie in which Ge You plays the leading role. Since then, it has been in trouble, with bad movies one after another - not counting star-studded movies like "My Motherland and Me".
Uncle Ge's era has passed.
99 did not participate in the war, but only screened two small films. One was "The Lover" starring Xiao Yang, in which there was a British-Korean actress Clara, whose real name was Li Chengmin, with super good looks and figure.
Invest tens of millions and earn back 700 million in box office.
Another one is "Riding the Wind and Waves", which will be released in January next year. It is Han Han's second film, starring Deng Chao, Zhao Liying, Eddie Peng and others. The structure is imitated by Chen Kexin's old film "New Brothers in Disgrace".
The male protagonist had a conflict with his father. He accidentally returned to 1998, met his father and several brothers when he was young, and gradually understood his father's story.
One of the characters is a programmer played by Dong Zijian. His surname is Ma and his given name is Hua Teng. He made a software called OICQ in the film. He is obviously making fun of Brother Ma...
The box office of this film will reach 1 billion, which is higher than the previous film "The Movie", but Yao Yuan feels that it is not as good as "The Movie". I can only say that Han Han is also very smart and understands the market.
This intelligence continued into "Flying Life" and "Famous" which he supervised, but it disappeared in "Four Seas", so he quit.
The one with the highest expectations this year is undoubtedly Zhang Yimou's "The Great Wall."
It was released on the 15th and within five hours, the box office revenue reached 48.64 million, with a total of 470 million in the three days of the first weekend. The momentum is indeed very good, but it cannot be said to be a hit.
At the beginning of the year, "Mermaid" exceeded 3 billion, instantly boosting the market.
As a result, the mainland’s number one director of a Sino-U.S. co-production produced this???
"The plot is so stupid that it's a tragic story about a group of monsters named Taotie who successfully climbed over the wall from the outside and were eventually blocked from the WiFi."
"There are as many flaws as there are gluttonous things!"
"There is no need to complain about Jing Tian this time, because there are other things worth complaining about."
"A shortened version of the Olympic Games opening ceremony, with Chinese drums, diving, archery, fireworks, and the Kongming Lantern Team's program is beautifully drawn. Zhang Yimou has completely evolved from red and green to colorful. He can use [Impression·Monster] large-scale cultural and sports performances for the rest of his life to market
world."
The original intention of "The Great Wall" was to fuse Chinese and Western elements and earn box office profits in both places, but the result was that it failed to please both ends.
In North America, Americans found it incomprehensible and completely incomprehensible, and the formula was old and far inferior to Hollywood commercial blockbusters. In the end, it only had a box office of more than 40 million.
In China, in addition to shortcomings such as plot and acting, the embedded soft culture is even more uncomfortable.
First of all, the name of "The Great Wall" is wrong. If it had been named differently, it might not have been criticized so fiercely, but it is called the Great Wall, and the film cannot support these two words.
Children all know that the Great Wall has special significance to the Chinese people.
Secondly, why do you let a few foreigners come to rescue? Why do you let white men match yellow women? Why are those ugly monsters called Taotie? Do you know how majestic the legendary Taotie was in ancient China?
All of these make the audience feel awkward.
"The earth is not earthy, the foreign is not foreign, the middle is not middle, the west is not west!"
“Hot chicken!”
In Jiahe's VIP theater, Yinyin finished watching "The Great Wall" and took a deep breath.
"I told you earlier that it was dead, but you still insist on seeing it."
"If you say it's bad, that's your judgment. I have to see it with my own eyes to know whether it's bad. Otherwise, wouldn't I just follow what others say? Without investigation, I have no right to speak."
"Yo yo yo, this is above the line, okay, you have a high level of consciousness."
"When will a movie be released that is a big hit in China, a big hit in the United States, and has a good reputation? Hey, will your "The Wandering Earth" work?"
""The Wandering Earth" was not a big hit in the United States."
"Then you can't get one?"
"Dear, you need to know that Hollywood is one of the four pillars of American world domination, supported by the three pillars of military, economy, and technology. It is essentially a cultural invasion that promotes American values.
I am currently working on Rogge Films, Hugelive and overseas short videos in the future. I am building my own output platform, but it will still be very difficult before the decline of the United States.
Without the right to speak, even if Israel bombs a hospital, it dares to say that it was the Palestinians who bombed it themselves!"
The two of them left the cinema and looked at the soft snow outside. Yao Yuan couldn't help but kiss Yinyin.
"Why are you kissing me?"
"Thank you for spending another year together. I will be 37 soon, and you will be 33 too. You have experienced so many things before you know it. But I was born to be a hard worker. I won't be spending New Year's Day with you. I have to go there.
Hongkong."
"Is it safe?"
Yinyin asked this first.
"It should be fine now. It's just anti-Korea. It may not be the case in the future."
