Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 641: Not my sister, what are you doing?
On November 11, the overtime of the National Day period officially came to an end.

After a difficult climb in the final trading session, "Battle of the Nation" was finally crowned the box office champion of Chinese-language films and TV series, with the total box office reaching 54.3 billion.

This result would have been unrivaled in any other year or period, but at this moment, his championship throne was in jeopardy.

Because the total box office of "Inheritance" has also exceeded the 50 billion mark, reaching 53.7 billion!
The total box office difference between the two is just less than 60 million.

Now there are only three days left in overtime, and the possibility of a buzzer-beating reversal is very high!

Because according to the recent daily box office trends, the gap between the two is basically between 1500 million and 2000 million. In three days, theoretically, they are within the catching-up range.

At this moment, almost the entire film industry is paying attention to the final outcome of this overtime game, and most of them hope that "Inheritance" can come from behind and make a comeback at the last minute.

The weak defeating the strong, the weak defeating the strong, the last-minute reversal... the buffs are stacked up, everyone likes this kind of miracle.

But privately, Zhou Hao had received a call from Zhang Xingtai, and got a rather obscure hint - "The Battle of the Founding of a Nation" must be number one. This is the sum of many wills and there is no room for negotiation or change.

There was a hint of apology in Lao Zhang's words.

As a filmmaker, he knows very well how valuable the winner of such an epic battle will be.

Especially for a young filmmaker, there is no doubt that winning this championship trophy will greatly benefit his future development.

However, Zhou Hao himself is very open-minded. Being the runner-up is so-so. It doesn’t matter.

To achieve this result has already exceeded the original expectations. Facing such a monster opponent, being able to achieve "honor in defeat" is a good result.

From another perspective, even if this kind of compilation movie really wins the box office championship, its gold content is seriously insufficient. Even if the main engine driving the box office is actually "Poetry", the credit on the surface is divided equally among four parts. Maybe the other three big directors will come out to aggressively market and grab the credit, and you can't go out and compete with them...

Let’s save it for next time, when he can win a championship that belongs to him alone!

Anyway, he is young and time is on his side.

Not urgent.

On the night that Lao Zhang's call was received, the screening schedules of major theaters began to change. The screening rate of "Inheritance" was quietly compressed by one third, and some were even moved to the midnight show where no one was interested.

The next day, the situation became even more obvious. The screening schedule was cut in half, and it was almost a definite nod to "The Founding of a Nation".

Even the most dull-witted people could sense that something was wrong. The audience who paid for tickets were especially the first to sense the abnormality and immediately began to denounce the major cinema chains on social media. For a time, all kinds of conspiracy theories were rampant.

"Here it comes, the invisible big hand is coming."

"Haha, I finally won the championship."

"What the hell, this is too blatant."

"Why? They are all mainstream films, why do you have to recommend "The Battle of the Nation"?"

"Because it's the designated champion."

"It's outrageous. I wanted to take my kids to see the movie again, but the screening was moved to 11pm. Who the hell is going to see this?"

"To be honest, this is a bit too much. It's not right to be partial to one person and ignore the other."

"It's normal, actually. No matter how good a compilation movie is, it's still a hodgepodge. The 70th anniversary of the National Day is such an important and critical period, it's definitely impossible to let a hodgepodge be the showpiece."

"Alas, I feel a little sorry for Mr. Zhou. He debuted such an amazing work, but in the end he was suppressed." "Indeed, if he can win the championship of this National Day, it will be his debut and the peak."

"It's almost done now. I handed in such an answer in just 25 minutes. It's really impressive."

"If it really doesn't work out, just come back and write novels. We don't have an invisible big hand here. As long as you write well, we will support you with real money!"

"Second! Come back quickly!"

"+1..."

Seeing that the controversy was growing louder, Zhou Hao quickly stepped out to cool down the situation.

"I am very happy to be invited to participate in the production of this National Day film. This is an unforgettable experience for me. For me, being able to bring the deeds of our ancestors to the big screen and let more people know about their great achievements is the most important thing."

"As for the final box office performance, it is actually secondary. After all, this film is not a purely commercial film, and the box office is not the only factor to measure its success or failure. It is enough to be recognized and loved by everyone."

"Thanks to everyone's support, the film's box office success is already pretty good. At least I'm personally quite satisfied. I also ask everyone to look at the final result rationally, pay more attention to the film itself, and pay less attention to the disputes outside the field. Let's all do our part to congratulate the healthy development of the film market."

"Finally, thank you again for your love of "Inheritance" and "Poetry". I bow my head."

As soon as this statement came out, the controversy did cool down a lot.

"That's right. Main-theme films don't have to be judged solely by box office."

"Teacher Zhou's move is very grand, there's nothing wrong with it."

"Well said, this movie is a feast for my worldview, which cannot be reflected in the box office."

"atmosphere!"

"Please participate in the Spring Festival next year. We will continue to support you!"

Then everyone discovered that Xu Lingyue also appeared in the comment section, "My husband is right."

With just five words in one sentence, the entire comment section suddenly changed direction, and instantly turned into a vast ocean of envy, jealousy and hatred...

However, just when Zhou Hao thought that the storm was about to pass, an accident suddenly occurred.

Another director of "Inheritance", Jing Shaohong, the female director of the second unit "Rebirth", made shocking remarks during an interview with streaming media.

"The reason why the box office of "Inheritance" exceeded 5 billion and held on to "The Founding of a Nation" was that "Rebirth" was the biggest contributor."

The reason she gave was also jaw-dropping. "According to the backstage summary data of the box office, the main buyers and sellers of "Inheritance" are women. The road to female independence and self-reliance implied in "New Life" caters well to the emotional needs of the majority of women. The awakening of this power has greatly promoted the box office growth of "Inheritance."

"I believe that in the future film market, the power of female consumers will continue to grow and become the backbone of this market..."

When seeing this interview, Zhou Hao was completely stunned.

No, sister, what are you doing?

It's a mainstream movie, are you boxing here?

Crazy? !
