In just one day, there were two hot topics related to "Sweet Honey" in the top ten posts on Weibo.
One is [Sweet Honey], and the other is [Chen Feng’s new movie].
The former was ranked second on the hot search list, and the latter was ranked fifth. As for the first ranked photo, it was a huge serial car accident that occurred somewhere.
Therefore, as far as the entertainment industry is concerned, at least in China, Chen Feng's popularity is really unparalleled.
The most important reason for this is that the box office of his three consecutive movies has exceeded 1 billion. The total box office of the three movies has now reached more than 8 billion.
If nothing unexpected happens, even after Chen Feng's "Sweet Honey" is finished, the total box office of the four movies is likely to exceed 10 billion.
The title of "Ten Billion Box Office Director" has not yet been achieved in China. But Chen Feng will soon achieve it. Thinking about it, one has to think that it is a miracle and a living legend.
With such a strong box office, and the fact that the movie "Sweetie" is indeed a good movie, it is naturally praised by all, and there is almost no criticism on the Internet. This situation is very rare.
.
It can be seen from this that Chen Feng and Summit Entertainment have risen and established a firm foothold in the entertainment industry. No one dares to challenge him at this time.
Those who were knocked down by Chen Feng before were the stepping stones for Chen Feng's rapid rise, including Huang Jingkun and Chen Dongsheng, two big names in the film industry who were very popular at the time.
Some people in the entertainment industry, under Chen Feng's strength, even if they are very jealous, do not dare to sing against Chen Feng in this general trend. Instead, they one by one take up the responsibility of "Sweet Honey" on the Internet.
Promoters, in order to make themselves popular.
News about the upcoming release of "Sweet Honey" is overwhelming on the Internet, and anyone with an Internet connection can basically see it. This kind of publicity effect is very unprecedented.
As a result, all the pre-purchased movie tickets on the Internet for July 7th were sold out. Many people had to go to the cinema to queue up to buy tickets that day. And it started in the morning, and soon the day's tickets were sold out.
The tickets were sold out. Most of the people queuing up wanted to buy tickets, but they could only buy tickets for the day after tomorrow, or even three days later at the end. This made people who had been queuing for most of the day complain, but there was nothing they could do.
For this reason, scalper tickets for "Sweet Honey" are very popular. The price of the tickets on that day has doubled several times, and you may not be able to buy them yet.
This unprecedented long queue to buy tickets is really surprising. The sky-high price of scalper tickets is even more incredible. After all, this movie has not yet been released nationwide, and the reputation is only on the Internet. It is actually like this
Many people queued up to buy tickets, which is really rare in recent years.
Even Chen Feng's previous movies have not included such exaggerated situations.
There have been in-depth reports in the media analyzing the reasons for this situation.
The first is, of course, the box office appeal of the talented director Chen Feng; the second is the bonus of teacher Deng Xiaoli lending her voice to the film and singing five songs for the film, and the addition of Li Manyu, the double-actor actress who made her comeback in her first film.
Gimmick.
The third point is that the movie "Sweetie" does not occupy a lot of screen space. Compared with the more than 5,000 films of "Charlotte" in the early stage and the more than 6,000 films of "Crazy", "Sweetie" now has
The screen count is only over 3,000 films. This was added by the theaters out of consideration for Chen Feng, a talented director. If it were an art film shot by another director, it would be very good to have more than 1,000 films on the screen.
Already.
The fourth point is, of course, the advance build-up and publicity of the movie "Sweetie" on the Internet. Especially after the premiere, this kind of publicity on the Internet is overwhelming and pervasive. Anyone with an Internet connection can watch it.
Get information about "Sweet Honey".
What's more important is that many celebrities in the entertainment industry spontaneously help promote it. Under their collective leadership, of course, the fans of these celebrities are quite willing to buy it.
This is why most of the people queuing up to buy tickets are young people.
When the first day's box office came out, Chen Feng was really surprised, because the box office was beyond his expectation. The box office on the first day was more than 80 million.
Although it has not exceeded 100 million, you must know that this is a love movie, and it will only be released on more than 3,000 screens nationwide.
The box office on the second day was even more exaggerated, directly exceeding 100 million, 120 million. The main reason was that major theater chains temporarily increased the number of screenings of the movie "Sweet Honey". The audience was very enthusiastic about it on the first day.
It is said that due to the good reviews, many people went to the cinema one after another. Many of them were second-time viewers.
The third day also exceeded 100 million, and the box office was basically the same as the second day. And the reputation was even more explosive. Many people left comments on the Internet, saying that this was the most touching domestic romance film they had ever seen.
"I thought it was a 'sweet' movie, but after watching the whole movie, I cried several times. I should have made a big accusation against Chen Feng, but in the end I was only left with bitterness and happiness."
"I used to think that I was a straight man, but after watching this movie, I actually cried."
"I never understood the love of my fathers before. Now after watching this movie, I understand."
"This film is my favorite romance film. The sweetness runs through the entire plot, making the audience moved, and the ending is so beautiful that our tears were not in vain."
…
The rating on Wandou.com went from 9.8, rated by more than 200 people at the beginning, to 9.6, rated by more than 15,000 people three days after its release, a drop of only 0.2 points.
This situation is also quite rare. It is the one with the highest score among all Chen Feng's current works. With so many people rating it and maintaining this score, it is certain that it is a very classic movie worth watching.
Therefore, the box office in the following days basically remained above 100 million. It was not until a week later that it began to slowly decline.
As a result, the first-week box office reached a terrifying 780 million, directly creating the highest single-day box office and first-week box office for a domestic romance film.
At this time, the total box office of Chen Feng's four movies is very close to 10 billion. Everyone is looking forward to this exciting moment that is coming soon.
Everyone knows that when Chen Feng's four films achieved a total box office of tens of billions, that was when he truly became the number one director in China.
This is also an important reason why so many people in the industry spontaneously promoted his film "Sweet Honey". Not many people are willing to help in times of need, but many people are willing to do the icing on the cake. This is especially true in the entertainment industry.
In this way, it is one of the basic principles of the entertainment industry to follow the red top and the white one.
Chen Feng himself doesn't care much about the title of director with a box office of tens of billions, but everyone else in the company obviously cares about it very much. Su Qian has even begun planning to hold a large-scale celebration banquet for this purpose, bringing together the stars in the circle.
Invite all the big guys here. The purpose is not only to announce to the outside world that they have risen to the top, but also to take this opportunity to expand the company's personal relationships and resource channels, paving the way for the company's further growth.
Chen Feng was not very positive about this, but he didn't object either. He just let Su Qian and Jia Yong get busy.
At the same time, the preparations for the crew of "The Condor" have come to an end, and all technical staff have been in place, and they have even gone to Hengcheng Film and Television City in batches to start preliminary preparations.
All the actors' problems have been solved, including some supporting roles. Among them, Chen Feng reciprocated and gave Tianhe two more important supporting roles, one Ouyang Ke and the other Hong Qigong, because the artists under their company
There happened to be two actors who were very suitable for this role, so Chen Feng chose him. Chen Feng also offered one from Pangu and Feihua. One of the actors from Pangu was Ke Zhen'e, and the actor from Feihua was Ouyang Feng.
Chen Feng also used some other important supporting roles as favors. For example, in order to take care of Liu Qinfei's emotions, he gave her a recommendation quota, which was to recommend a suitable actor to play Huang Laoxie. The result was no surprise, and Liu Qinfei directly recommended Huang Laoxie.
An old actor in her company, Chen Feng, was very satisfied after watching several of his previous costume films, so he skipped the audition and hired him directly.
Chen Feng searched for others on Weibo, and the scope of them was the actors who helped him voluntarily promote the movie "Sweet Honey".
Not to mention, when these actors, including some third-tier actors, suddenly received an invitation from Chen Feng to film, they were all like a pie falling from the sky. They were all overjoyed and excited.
Although "The Condor" is a TV series, it has long been spread in the industry. In addition to writing the screenplay and serving as the producer, Chen Feng also invited the director Xu Wei, who was the first person in martial arts dramas at that time. In addition, Hu Fei
The actor is actually not the leading actor, but plays an important supporting role. Liu Qinfei, a young actress, is also a supporting role.
With such a strong lineup, even if it is a bad movie, it will still be popular. Therefore, actors in the industry are flocking to it.
And as these actors who had never met Chen Feng before were suddenly selected by Chen Feng for filming, there were more volunteer publicists on the Internet. They all wanted to be as lucky as others to be selected by Chen Feng, or at least in advance.
Burn some incense to make Chen Feng have a good impression of himself.
As a result, the publicity about "Sweet Honey" on the Internet has not weakened at all compared to before. Especially on Weibo, many second- and third-tier celebrities have posted about "Sweet Honey" on Weibo for several days in a row.
Carry out publicity.
Although Chen Feng was very happy about the unexpectedly high box office of "Sweet Honey", he did not focus on it because he had too many things to worry about, especially his personal life.
First of all, there is a rift in the relationship with Miranda. Although the two still contact each other on the phone every day, they are obviously not as close and caring as before. Now the two still maintain this kind of contact, as if they have become each other's one.
It’s a job. And many people don’t like their jobs very much.
In addition, Beyoncé has finally finished handling some matters at hand and will fly over from the United States soon.
Although it was Chen Feng's own suggestion to let her come to Datang, there was no other way. He couldn't let his pregnancy out of wedlock be exposed to the United States.
Early in the morning on July 9, Chen Feng was fully equipped, put on large sunglasses and a mask, and waited in the departure hall of Beijing Airport.
Beyonce's plane from the United States arrived at 6:30, so Chen Feng had to get up at 5:30 and arrived at the airport at 6:10.
Chen Feng asked Liu Jianguo to carry a big pick-up sign with a big "BAO" written on it, which was regarded as the pick-up code.
At 6:35, Beyonce's flight arrived at the airport on time.
At 6:49, Chen Feng finally saw Beyoncé, who was wearing a baseball cap and big sunglasses and carrying a luggage bag. Along with her was a dark-skinned, strong-looking woman in her thirties.
, Chen Feng has a bit of an impression of her, as she is Beyoncé’s personal assistant.
This is to be expected. It is impossible to hide her pregnancy from the people around her. And her personal assistant has been with her for several years and is trustworthy. At the same time, according to the practices of foreigners like them, they have already signed a confidentiality agreement.
Agreed.
Beyoncé looked up and looked around, and soon saw the pick-up sign held by Liu Jianguo, and immediately walked over.
Seeing this, Chen Feng stood up from his seat and greeted him.
"Hi!"
"Hi!"
They both said hello to each other. Then they looked at each other in silence. There was neither a hug nor a handshake. Both of them were a little embarrassed.
"Let's go out first." Finally, Chen Feng spoke first and reached out to signal her.
Beyoncé nodded and said nothing more.
Chen Feng stepped forward and took the small bag from her hand. Liu Jianguo and Li Dongwei also helped to take the two large suitcases from the black assistant.
This time two cars came over. Of course Chen Feng and Beyoncé took one car together, and the female assistant took the other car.
"I've prepared the villa for you. I told you on the phone before, I believe you will like it." Chen Feng took the initiative to chat about the villa over Jinzhi Mountain.
Beyoncé had already seen the photos of the villa on the computer before, nodded and smiled: "From the photos, I really like it. I really want to trouble you this time."
"What's the trouble? These are all what I should do. I'm afraid you won't get used to living here for a long time. After all, for you, this is a foreign country and you don't have many relatives or friends around you." Chen Feng was a little worried.
Said. Chen Feng is still a little worried if he suffers from prenatal depression or something.
Beyoncé smiled and shook her head and said: "Don't worry. I'm not as fragile as you think. I became independent when I was very young, and when I was a teenager, I traveled far alone. Since I became an adult,
I even started living alone. Besides, isn’t there a phone and Internet? If I miss my relatives and friends, I can contact them by phone and Internet.”
"It's good if you think so." Chen Feng felt a little relieved after hearing this, and then said, "I said before that I hired a cook who is good at Chinese and Western cuisine for you. I will ask her to cook a few dishes for you at noon today. If you
If you're satisfied, keep it; if you're not satisfied, I'll replace it for you."
