At the same time, in the fourth week, Xia Yu Studio reprinted the news of the film's release.
Of course, I didn’t forget to promote the news about the upcoming release of "Sin" at the end.
""The Wind" is really exciting. If you pass by, don't miss it. "Sin" will be released in November, so don't forget to go to the box office to support it!"
These words were of course made by Meng Dong.
Mid October.
"Trafficking" is confirmed to be released in November, and all major theaters under Great Wall Film and Television have also arranged to pre-heat the film.
With the exception of Xia Yu, the crew of "Trafficking Crime" officially launched a promotional campaign, but the intensity was not particularly strong.
After all, Xia Yu is not here, so only Dai Chengbi and Cheng Zhiqing's interviews are really not crowded. Lao Dai imagines that the warm-up is already ready, so he might as well just go on a few key interview programs like before.
I mean forget it.
That is to say, "Nice to Meet You" is still there to support it, so many fans and fans are waiting in front of the screen.
And the time came to October 23rd, and "Nice to Meet You" finally came to the seventh episode.
For more than a month, "Nice to Meet You" was popular in China after the release of "Black Moon Project 1", but its influence is still undiminished. In addition to the first episode's ratings explosion, the second episode of "XZ Tour" broke all variety show records,
After that, it kept going higher and higher!
Up to now, the ratings and broadcast volume have skyrocketed, and it has become a phenomenon-level variety show——
Lu Lingyu, who participated in the recording of the variety show, once again set off a craze. The playback volume of her previous movies on various platforms is exploding with exaggerated data. There are many repeated viewings by old fans and new audiences.
Admire her work!
Lu Lingyu has too many works, eighty-one. In the early days of her highly productive career, she shot up to thirteen films a year. Moreover, there were commercial films, literary films, and feature films, to name a few. From the beginning, she was young and naive.
The explosion of acting skills has opened the door to a new world for new movie fans. Many of them young people don't know why Lu Lingyu has such a high influence in the industry!
Because Berlin and the Cannes Film Festival are really far away from ordinary people and young people.
If it weren't for Xia Yu in the past two years, many young people, even Xia Yu's fans, wouldn't pay much attention to awards. At most, they would pay attention to the Golden Rooster. Maybe they don't even know what the Golden Statue and Golden Horse Awards are, let alone
Talk about the three major film festivals in Europe!
But this time, Lu Lingyu really broke into the young group under the age of twenty.
While the playback volume of classic movies one after another on major online broadcast platforms is soaring, [Lu Lingyu]’s entries and classic movie scenes are also being edited and reposted crazily on major portals including Weibo.
According to what Lu Lingyu heard while chatting with Xia Yu, there are already hundreds of books delivered to Lu Lingyu’s agent. They come in various prices. At the same time, some veteran directors, such as Xu Wei, have also contacted
Go to her and ask about her comeback.
There is no doubt that they were all rejected by Lu Lingyu. On this aspect, she really meant it!
And when the eighth issue, "Nice to Meet You" finished playing, "Black Moon Project 1·Ancient Eastern Country", "The Wind" finally came to release time, and "Trafficking Crime" has also been warmed up for almost two weeks.
It's been months since the release of "Nice to Meet You" after the Venice Film Festival, and it has been warming up. On the contrary, the promotion effect of Dai Chengbi, Cheng Zhiqing, and Jiang Tong is not particularly obvious.
As for why Xia Yu did not appear, Dai Chengbi said many times in the program:
"Xia Yu, we are preparing for a new movie. As for which movie, there will be hints in the last issue of "Nice to Meet You"."
Even though Xia Yu was not here, the premiere of "Trafficking Crime" was still full, and a large number of media studios were invited to come——
In fact, compared to fans, the media has long been paying attention to Xia Yu, who has "disappeared" for almost two months.
Fans are still immersed in the broadcast of "Nice to Meet You", and may be used to Xia Yu's silent filming of movies. After a year, it may be at major film festivals or premieres before the movie is released.
How many times can we meet.
A few interviews and one or two movies every year are really a "perfect business".
This year there is "Nice to Meet You", and I can read it once a week, which is really satisfying——
But usually, within a week or two, I can occasionally capture some of Xia Yu’s journey from Taoli Shuyuan to Zhuang Ling, Reuters!
But now almost a month has passed. Except for late September, Xia Yu has never been seen again. Those who work in the media have a much more sensitive sense of smell than fans. They are the ones who eat this meal, plus this half
In September, Xia Yu did not appear once during the promotion of the "Crime" crew, and Dai Chengbi's so-called "preparation and shooting of the new movie" made them think it was nonsense!
In a large group of reporters from some media in the industry, media people from all walks of life were discussing this matter.
"Our eyeliners are all over China!"
"Isn't that right? Even the filming of "Crime" was filmed by Reuters. Although it was not much, it was still captured. It's just that after accepting the tea money, there was no way to announce the real news and could only spread some rumors!"
There's nothing we can do about it. We've all paid for the tea, and it's not a revelation about a collapsed house. As for movie shooting, media reporters really don't need to bear the pressure of various crews to block the content of Reuters' movie shooting.
"But in the past two months, there has really been no news at all? Isn't this strange?"
"That's right, I've been squatting at the Imperial Drama Academy for a month and I haven't seen Xia Yu even once!"
"I have received some internal news - Xia Yu has submitted her graduation application and has not come to class for a month!"
I really don’t know if many people in the media have great wisdom, but they are smart and diligent in digging up gossips. They have a keen sense of smell when it comes to analyzing celebrities and actors. “There must be something big going on here!”
Therefore, although it was known in advance that Xia Yu would not attend the premiere of "Trafficking Crime", various media outlets still went to great lengths to get invitations to the premiere to find out.
And on October 24th, the online pre-sale channel for "Trafficking Crime" was finally opened.
In the early morning of the 25th, the first-day pre-sales exceeded 20 million. Although it did not set another record, with this result in the first-day pre-sales, it was already ranked in the top 15 in the pre-sale box office of movies released in China.
You know, it is only one million lower than the 21 million of Cure, and the original "Cure" was blessed by Yu Junhao!
But it is still better than "The Wind". The pre-sale box office of "The Wind" opened at the end of September, with only 13 million on the first day. There are many reasons. One is that "The Wind" belongs to the China International Film Festival last year.
The participating films have had their premieres for twelve days!
Many fans who really pay attention to Wei Jihong, Wei Fei, Yu Junhao, and Yan Jingdan have already watched it once!
Whether you watch it a second time or a third time depends on the time. Moreover, this movie has great potential, so many people may not dare to watch it a second time.
This is the biggest reason for the slightly sluggish pre-sale box office. Another reason is that its popularity and promotion are indeed not as good as "Black Moon Project 1". Secondly, there is the Venice Film Festival in front of it, and "Nice to Meet You"
》At the back.
Everyone's attention has been directed to Xia Yu in "Trafficking Crime". Promotion and topic popularity have always been the shortcomings of Wei Jingcheng Studio. They are too confident in "word of mouth"
Two words.
It can be said that if they are willing to spend money and don't need to be too "good face", they may be able to create a box office miracle at the box office!
This is really a movie that, in Xia Yu’s opinion, is worth watching. The plot, director, and actors are all excellent——
The seven-day pre-sale box office, the most popular, was only over 80 million, but it has exceeded Wei Jingcheng Studio's expectations.
In the early morning of October 31st, the pre-sale box office of "Trading Crime" was released. The seven-day pre-sale box office was 1.7 billion.
Not as good as "Cure", "Jinling Festival", and "Swordsman", but barely ranked at the end of the first echelon.
Xia Yu actually had a very open mind about "Trafficking Crime", and even Yao Yuanqian was already interested in it just to make a small profit.
Because this is indeed not a movie that can achieve a box office breakthrough, but the pre-sale box office still exceeded everyone's expectations!
The number of films shot is different from the 40 to 50 for "Heal" and "Jinling Festival". The number of films for "Trafficking" is only 25. In fact, the number of 25 films during the same period is already in the top ten and top five.
I'm avoiding the Golden Week of October, there are many movies like "Black Moon Project 1" and "The Wind", and I'm worried about other movies in December and January, many of which are scheduled until November!
There are many commercial films with excellent performance, many investment from Great Wall Film and Television, and co-productions - making money is naturally a matter of maximizing profits. As soon as this data came out, Yao Yuanqian directly called the relevant person in charge that night, "Increase the film schedule
quantity!"
As for "Trading Crime" being able to have such a good pre-sale box office, I have to say that "Nice to Meet You" should take the lead!
Full marks for “Marketing”!
October 31st, in the beautiful country thousands of kilometers away, at 07:00 am, which is 23:00 pm in the imperial capital.
Xia Yu called Lao Dai.
"Director Dai, have you arrived at the premiere venue? Have everything been arranged?"
Xia Yu's phone call was unexpected by Dai Chengbi. The two had not contacted each other for more than half a month.
Xia Yu was really busy, and she really wanted to give him time to think quietly and well.
After Xia Yu went to Beautiful Country, Dai Chengbi never took the initiative to contact Xia Yu again because he felt uneasy and guilty.
I have tried to make a call many times, with the address book opened, but I just barely reached the dial button...
In the end, I could only look at the last phone call, which was the one I made on the morning of October 9th, in a daze.
Once, Song Xi couldn't help it anymore and helped him dial out, "Don't think too much, why don't you just make a call? I'll call you!"
He hung up immediately, his eyes pleading, "Let me think about it again?"
Song Xi was helpless. She was very happy with Dai Chengbi's care and love. She could feel that the man who slept with her loved her very much. But Song Xi could also feel the depression and regret in Dai Chengbi's heart.
Normally she couldn't see it during the day, but it was often late at night, after she and her daughter had gone to bed, and she would go to the balcony to smoke alone...
Looking towards the beautiful country.
Song Xi asked him.
He said, "After all, after working hard for more than ten years, it suddenly fell silent. After all, it takes a process."
But Song Xi knew that this was not the case at all - he felt that he had become an ideal deserter.
She tried to persuade her several times, but Dai Chengbi didn't let go. On the one hand, he felt sad for Lao Dai, but on the other hand, he felt very happy - just like what Lao Dai said, if he really went there and neglected her again because of work, she would still be there.
When he was pregnant with Liujia, he might feel even more guilty in the future?
But from the beginning to the end, Dai Chengbi never had any cold feelings toward Song Xi because of his work, personal decisions, and mental irritability.
"If it was five or six years ago, I would have picked up my luggage and left without saying a word, but now..."
Between family and career, he finally made a choice and chose to return to his family.
"Besides, I'm only in my early forties, so I still have twenty years left in time!"
And Song Xi would occasionally secretly call Xia Yu or send a WeChat message.
It doesn't mean anything else. There were times when she was confused about this, "Will you regret it in the future?"
How many true friends can a person meet in this life? She also felt uneasy.
It was Xia Yu who gave her a sentence. It was very direct and true, but it made her feel more at ease than those false words.
"Sister-in-law, Lao Dai wants to accompany you for a while, so just ask him to accompany you. Even if we are brothers and sisters, we can't always cooperate, right? But, just like Sister Tang, she is not with me, but this
Can you explain that Sister Tang and I are not on good terms?"
"The same goes for Lao Dai. One is my sister and the other is my brother. Will he and Sister Tang cooperate? No one knows in the future, but I hope this relationship and the friendship of mutual support over the past six years can be maintained.
lifetime."
Finally, she said, "I will always have a place for Lao Dai here. Besides, I can't bear to have my daughter running around here and there at such a young age, let alone sister-in-law, you still have a son in your belly or
Girl, it’s so hard.”
"Relax, let Dai Dai be so pretentious. He's grown up, who doesn't feel a little stressed anymore?"
"And sister-in-law, if anything happens, you can call me, call Sister Tang, or send messages. We are all part of the same family - I'm still waiting for a few decades to come, so we can take care of ourselves together in old age? Do you think so?"
"Furthermore, sister-in-law, have you forgotten yourself? You are also at the peak of your career. You gave up your career and returned to your family... Why should I have to sacrifice you to have children for him? Is it just because we are women? Why, Lao Dai?
Can’t you make career sacrifices?”
"Our daughter, the baby in your belly belongs to you alone? This is the responsibility and obligation of both of you!"
"Also, there is not only one in your belly, but two - both are our babies!"
On October 7th, Song Xi's eighth week of pregnancy, two pregnancy sacs were found in Song Xi's body...
After some conversation, Song Xicai finally relaxed.
(Forty-five chapters were updated last month? But it updated 180,000 words. I thought, I worked hard enough. I am still waiting for everyone to praise me. Good guy, why doesn’t anyone praise me? Just give me a monthly vote.
You're used to it. Why are you still slandering me? They secretly rated me without saying a word. I don't know what four or five people pulled me from a rating of 9.4 to 9.0. They stole the points.
?Four or five people in a row gave me one-star negative reviews? Which author? Don’t let me catch you. If you really catch me, each person will give me a large sum of money, huh. Shameless!)
(Instead of promoting yourself, it’s better to denigrate others, right?)
(I was so angry that I didn’t bother to type. Very good, your goal was achieved!)
(Zhu said it can’t be seen on other platforms, so I put it here!)
