This year's Lunar New Year season has reached its climax early due to the popularity of "Love Is Not Blind".
With widespread praise on the Internet, Wen Zhang was praised by the media as the number one young actor of the new generation, and Tong Liya became the goddess of romance movies.
Anyway, all kinds of flattery are applied to actors and directors in different ways.
However, with an investment of less than 20 million, it achieved a box office of 400 million in ten days and has a good reputation, which is enough to deserve any praise.
Ten days later, the movie continued to sweep the box office.
In the third week, it received 126 million in a single week, and the total box office reached 541 million.
Although the decline in the third week compared to the second week has reached 50%, it is enough.
After all, it is a romance film. Although the audience is not small and not unpopular, it is far inferior to "I am not the God of Medicine". In the middle of "The God of Medicine", there are many viewers over the age of 30 and even in their forties.
, far exceeding the ratio of normal movies, truly achieving universal killing for all ages.
Moreover, it is said to be a dark horse, but actually it has little to do with being a dark horse.
What is a dark horse?
It is called a dark horse if it sells well when everyone is not optimistic about it.
Before "Love Is Not Blind" was released, at least half of them were optimistic that it would be a hit. After all, Tong Liya had already made two romance movies in a row in the past two years.
In the past, many people, including Huang Zhongjun, did not invest because the cast was not good. Wen Zhang's only movie "Ocean Paradise", starring Li Lianjie, could not sell at the box office.
Moreover, the original heroine was just the unknown Bai Baihe, so it was indeed difficult to have confidence in this combination.
If Tong Liya is confirmed to play the role from the beginning, there will be no shortage of investment, okay?
There were no rivals at the same time. "Thirty Days of Love" was already very topical before it was released, and the film schedule was over 50%, which was completely enough.
A large number of viewers have been consumed in the early stage, and it is impossible to kill all ages. With such a high box office, it is already very good to maintain a 50% drop in the third week.
541 million in 17 days. It is inevitable to break 600 million. 700 million is not impossible. Then "Tangshan Earthquake" will be knocked out of the top three Chinese-language movies at the box office.
After careful consideration, various companies began to analyze the reasons for the success of the movie. It was definitely not just Tong Liya, even though she had already sold two romance movies in a row before.
...
In the conference room of a small company, a screenwriter wearing black-rimmed glasses, with a confident light shining in his eyes, analyzed with certainty, "I have watched a total of eight movies in the past few days and spent half of the movie in the cinema.
Yue, I discovered something very important."
Another producer nearby asked, "What?"
"This is a movie for women."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Hell, aren't you stupid for watching a movie? I knew it before the movie was released. Which romantic movie is not for women?"
"That's right, if a serious man doesn't accompany his girlfriend, who would watch a romantic movie?"
"No, no, no, you don't understand what I mean."
Faced with doubts, Yan Yan disagreed, "In the past half month, I have observed every female audience in the cinema. I found that no matter whether they are young girls in their 20s or leftover women in their 30s, they all feel very moved, especially leftover women in their 30s.
."
"Then what? Are leftover women breaking up more often?" A director curled his lips.
The screenwriter looked at me like an idiot, pushed up his glasses, and said confidently, "This movie is trying to please women. The character Huang Xiaoxian is actually a douchebag. She is the one who does it again and again. Over the past seven years,
Lu Ran just couldn't stand the idea of being in another relationship,
But there is such a strange-tempered seductress, and Diamond Wang Laowu actively pursues her, and Huang Xiaoxian even rejects it lightly. Think about it, Tong Liya didn’t wear any makeup in the movie, and she wasn’t that stunning. What would you think if you were a woman?
?”
"how to think?"
“Of course I have a sense of immersion!”
Glasses said with a proud face, "Without exquisite makeup, women who wear makeup will feel that they are similar to Tong Liya. Everyone has the same parents, but Tong Liya still does that, even if she loses her boyfriend, she still has diamonds in two days."
Wang Laowu takes the initiative to pursue them. Doesn't this sense of substitution come? They will feel that they are good-looking, even if they are good at work, have a weird temper, are not gentle enough and cannot cook, and maybe they are young, handsome and rich in diamonds.
Wang Laowu fell in love with it and refused one after another!"
"????"
In the conference room, everyone looked like I was stupid.
"Isn't this just like the old Baodao idol dramas, where an ordinary girl is chased by a lot of handsome and rich second generation people."
"No, this is much worse. Who is serious about idol dramas and who is a fool? But don't forget that "Love Is Not Blind" also has another feature. It is gripping enough, real enough, and real enough to make female viewers have enough
A sense of immersion!”
"Snapped!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise in the conference room, and an ordinary older female screenwriter stood up.
"well said!"
"Oh, why are you so crazy?"
The older female screenwriter didn't care at all about other people's eyes. Her round, freckled face was already flushed with excitement, and even the thick layer of foundation couldn't cover it up. People next to her could even clearly see that she was shaking with excitement.
"Why do you men insist that girls have to be beautiful and beautiful? Why are all the girls around you so beautiful when you are so fat-minded and disgusting to look at? Why can't we ordinary girls find rich and handsome people? When I think of you stinky men
He always asked us girls to be as beautiful as gods, and went to the kitchen under the hall. I was so angry that I was shaking all over. On a hot day, I was sweating all over and my hands and feet were cold!"
"..."
In the conference room, everyone stared dumbfounded at the older female screenwriter accusing the "stinky man".
Come on, if a rich local boss wants to find a mistress like you?
An ordinary girl like you still wants to find a tall, rich and handsome man.
No, saying you are ordinary is just a compliment.
However, obviously no one wants to irritate such an excited woman. That is just looking for trouble, and the boss doesn't want to talk anymore.
After being stunned for a while, a young executive director of the company reminded me, "Well...it's November now, and it's almost winter."
"What about winter!"
The older female screenwriter looked at him with disdain, "You don't even understand metaphors. You are a country bumpkin. You still think about becoming famous and becoming a big director in the future. You lust after Liu Yufei. I don't think you are even worthy of Sister Feng!"
"puff..."
Some people couldn't help but laugh.
"You...you..." The young executive director was ashamed and angry, his face flushed, and he pointed at the older female screenwriter and was speechless.
.......
Of course, most of the discussions were serious, and the conclusions reached were generally down-to-earth and true tears.
However, no matter how the outside world discusses it, envy, jealousy, regret...all kinds of negative emotions fill the hearts of CEOs of various companies.
It looks like it will soon exceed 600 million. With a cost of less than 20 million, the profit of this film is estimated to be 200 million.
A profit of 200 million, how many companies cannot make this amount in a year!
Especially Huang Zhongjun, his heart is bleeding.
Teng Huatao couldn't control the bleeding in his boss's heart. Now he was in a state of extreme excitement, leading the crew to various cities across the country. His physical strength was much stronger than the two young men, Tong Liya and Wen Zhang.
Ninghang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV program backstage.
"Li Qian, my legs are about to break. Please tell Director Teng quickly. If you continue to work like this, my legs won't be my own when I return to the capital."
"Oh, isn't the publicity plan arranged by your company? It's so intensive that Director Teng feels like he's taken medicine. I can't stand it if I don't see him tired."
"I don't care, I won't listen!"
In the dressing room, Tong Liya finished touching up her makeup and called Li Qian to complain.
Teng Huatao was like taking a stimulant. Three days of promotion was completed in two days. The company also accelerated the pace of road shows and promotions. Apart from being on the road 24 hours a day, he was doing promotions and had very little time to sleep.
After complaining for more than ten minutes, I slowly calmed down and walked out of the dressing room.
However, before I went out, I heard someone shouting something loudly.
what's the situation?
Tong Liya walked out with a confused look on her face and saw Wen Zhang's agent getting angry with the TV station employees.
"Can't you get even a bowl of noodles with oil? Our family, Wen Zhang, has been promoting day and night. He didn't even sleep before he came to your place to record the show. It's a good thing, he doesn't even have to eat!"
In response to the scolding, the TV station employee could only whisper, "I'm really sorry, it's really hard for us in Ninghang to buy authentic Youpo noodles."
Wen Zhang, who was lying on the sofa, sighed, "Hey, I can't even eat a bowl of noodles from my hometown. I'm so hungry that I don't even have the energy to record the show."
What's wrong with this?
Tong Liya went back and sat down, giving Teng Huatao a puzzled look.
Teng Huatao shook his head and whispered, "Let him vent."
Come on, the director doesn't care, so Tong Liya just thinks of watching a show.
I also understood that Wen Zhang suddenly wanted to eat authentic Shaanbei Youpo Noodles, but when they couldn't sell them nearby, his agent lost his temper.
The producer of the program didn't come out either, probably because he didn't want to cause trouble and just let the employees get scolded by them. Now Wen Zhang is turning red and purple, and the program needs him.
The agent lost his temper, but it wasn't Wang Jinghua. The big agent had many small agents who were responsible for various actors.
Then Wen Zhang got very angry and started recording the show with a look of displeasure on his face.
Tong Liya was speechless. She had really encountered the legendary big-name showman. Even when she was playing a small role back then, she had never seen anyone show such a big-name showmanship.
For the next show, the news about Rongcheng TV Station and Jiangzhe TV Station has spread in the circle. They actually prepared authentic northern Shaanxi Youpo Noodles in advance.
Teng Huatao breathed a sigh of relief and stopped causing trouble.
Tong Liya also breathed a sigh of relief. This time she could be clean. Yesterday in Ninghang, after recording the program and performing a roadshow in a movie theater, they were blocked by fans who insisted on signing autographs and taking photos with Tong Liya and Wen Zhang.
Time was tight and he didn't have time to stay here. Fans were blocking him and refused to leave. Wen Zhang came out with a series of swear words and even called the fans stupid.
Although the voice was lowered, Tong Liya heard it clearly next to her. Others, including the staff who helped them stop the fans, also heard it, and their expressions were strange.
Everywhere he went, Wen Zhang could always cause something to happen. Having such a teammate made Tong Liya really tired.
I just thought that this time they have prepared fried noodles, so I can calm down for a while.
After two bites of noodles, Wen Zhang said something to his agent, and his agent asked the staff to drink freshly ground coffee, and the coffee had to be ground in front of Wen Zhang.
Oh my god!
Tong Liya leaned back on the sofa. She was so tired that she couldn't rest for a moment. She just wanted to take a nap and rest.
Teng Huatao still turned a blind eye. He knew Wen Zhang's character and as a friend, it was hard to say anything.
The next stop was Jiangcheng, Hubei. This time, hand-ground coffee was available, and Wen Zhang didn't lose his nerve.
Tong Liya finally felt relieved and planned to lean on the sofa chair and relax for a while. She was really tired.
However, as soon as I closed my eyes, something happened again.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Wen Zhang Da Qi Lala sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed and a cigarette in her mouth. A young staff member opposite reminded her in a low voice, "Well...Teacher Wen, we are here indoors
No joking."
Wen Zhang glanced at him but didn't respond.
The staff secretly complained that Wen Zhang's name had gone viral in the entire media circle in just a few days. Everyone knew that this was a boss who was even more difficult to serve than the king of superstars.
Normally, there would be a huge fight to receive big-name celebrities, but now, except for reporters who want news at their own risk, who wants to meet Wen Zhang?
There was nothing I could do. I was new here, and when I met such a person, the staff could only bite the bullet and remind him again, bending down and speaking with more and more respect.
"Teacher Wen, we don't allow smoking in this room, do you think?"
"No smoking allowed?" Wen Zhang asked back as if he didn't realize it.
Finally being dealt with, the staff member was overjoyed and quickly said, "Yes, yes, Teacher Wen, do you think so?"
"Then I won't smoke anymore."
Wen Zhang looked at the staff coldly, pressed the cigarette butt directly on the sofa with his hand, and twisted it twice, thinking he was eating Oreos?
Holding up the extinguished cigarette butt, Wen Zhang smiled and said, "It's already extinguished."
The staff member who had just begun to smile was immediately stunned.
Oh my god, Li Qian, come and save me. I can’t stand this kind of teammate anymore. Tong Liya was completely speechless.
At this moment, the door to the backstage room was pushed open and Li Qian walked in.
"Hey, I haven't started recording the show yet."
PS: It’s not shady. This is what the various media outlets themselves say. Wen Zhang was indeed a public enemy of the media during that period, and he kept making risqué moves.
