This man knows how to hype

Chapter 318: Box Office Crazy
A "cool article" video has made Xu Xiyu and "Dying to Survive" popular again.

However, it was a real divine assist that completely made the popularity of "Dying to Survive" explode.

That night, at 7 p.m., CCTV News spent nearly 7 minutes reporting on a new round of negotiations on the medical insurance list.

In addition, at 8 o'clock, a 40-minute special report was released on the news channel, CCTV Video APP and its official accounts on various platforms.

As mentioned before, Xu Xiyu played some videos of past "Medical Insurance List Negotiations" at the end of the movie.

But the earliest of these videos is five years old. Also, the time at the end of the film is limited, so it is impossible to present more specific content.

Although there were bloggers discussing this topic at the time, the materials available were relatively limited and there was not much to say, because videos of these internal negotiations were rarely made public.

It is different now.

The content of the new round of negotiation video is relatively detailed. Also released is a list of some drugs and a price comparison before and after, including drugs for treating leukemia.

This brought a completely different feeling to quite a few viewers.

When everyone saw the pharmaceutical company representatives being "scratched their ears and cheeks" and "blushing" because of the negotiating representatives, some even cried because of the great pressure.

I saw that the medical insurance negotiation representatives were haggling over every penny.

Many netizens shouted "The real medicine god is here".

The most important thing is that at the end of this video, the important nodes in the development of medical insurance over the years are reviewed in the form of old photos and text.

And when reviewing, the background music is "Just Be Ordinary".

Good guy.

This scene made Qi Xiangyang bored.

He was not stupid, he immediately realized that he had been fooled.

Bullshit "The Annual Party Can't Stop". This movie is like a man who has been impotent for 20 years. There is no movement at all.

That bastard named Xu has been focusing on "Dying to Survive" from the beginning to the end.

This guy just wants to praise "Dying to Survive" to the sky. This is the effect he wants for his "first movie after taking office."

"Damn it, damn it!!! I'll fuck your mother, you damn it!!" Qi Xiangyang's defense was broken, and this time it was really broken.

When Qi Xiangyang thought about how he had gathered a group of people to hold seven or eight meetings, seriously discussing various matters related to "The Annual Meeting Cannot Be Stopped", he simply wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

You know, since "Kuang Biao", the saying "he can't compare to Xu Xiyu" has been circulating in Donghai. Fortunately, at that time, it was only people from Du Chenshuang's faction who spread it.

Everyone just treats it as internal rhetoric to attack each other and should not be taken seriously.

But now, he was fooled by Xu Xiyu again. If he were his own subordinate, he would definitely doubt his own IQ.

It would be bad enough if his subordinates doubted him, but he was afraid that the investors behind him would also doubt whether his brain was really not working well and give up on him. This was the result he could not accept.

Thinking of this, Qi Xiangyang couldn't help but roar again: "Fuck, fuck!!! Fuck!!!!!!"

Just like the sound waves of his roar that get louder and louder, the popularity on the Internet about "Dying to Survive" and Xu Xiyu also gets louder and louder.

The wave after wave of popularity is reflected very directly in the box office.

Many viewers who had originally only watched the commentary online, waited for pirated copies, or had already seen the secretly filmed version were so excited that they ran to buy a new ticket.

There were also some fans who had not originally planned to watch it more than once, but went and watched it again.

What's more, some wealthy people, although they don't have time to go and check the tickets several times in person, just buy a bunch of tickets to give away in order to express their support.

In this context, on the 22nd day of the release of "Dying to Survive", an entry appeared on the hot search list.

This entry reads #《Dying to Survive》single-day box office reaches 2.127 million#
The box office of 2.127 million is nothing.

The problem is, this is already the 22nd day of its release, and before that, the single-day box office had dropped to more than million.

This box office figure that went against the trend shocked the industry.

This is not over yet.

On the 23rd day, the single-day box office was still 2 million.

On the 24th day, the single-day box office declined, but it was still 1.7 million, a level that many movies could not reach during their promotion period.

numb.

The colleagues watching were completely numb.

Guangying Media was under pressure from the simultaneous release of "Into the Abyss" and "Dying to Survive".

The creators of "Legend of the Silk Road 2", which voluntarily withdrew and postponed its release date, were envious, jealous and excited when they saw this situation.

"Damn, they made a ton of money, really made a ton of money. The movie cost less than 1 million yuan, and with the publicity and promotion, 1.5 million yuan is the limit!"

"No wonder our boss went to work with Xu Xiyu. Who can resist this? Everyone wants to have a taste of the soup, right?"

"Ah? The boss went to work with Xu Xiyu?"

"You don't know about this? It seems that we, Wan Da, and Bernard will all invest in Xu Xiyu's next project."

"What's the next project? What's the subject matter?"

"I don't know about that. I guess I'll reserve a spot in advance."

"Anyway, I think no matter what the project is, the artists in our circle must be eagerly waiting for it. Once the casting starts, a lot of people will definitely come knocking on our door."

"It's okay for a male artist, but I think it's useless to find a female artist because the female lead will definitely still be Lv Qinyao."

"Damn, her boyfriend is really worth it. Not only has he given her so many musical works, but he has also given her even more in terms of movies." A female creator said enviously.

"No, don't you want to talk about whether the box office of 'Dying to Survive' can be maintained tomorrow?"

"I think so."

This is indeed the case. On the 25th day, the box office was still 1.5 million.

At this time, the total box office of "Dying to Survive" has reached 43.4 billion.

In other words, the box office of "Dying to Survive" will soon surpass the previous box office champion "The Rise of Phoenixes" by a full 10 billion.

This scene made many people jealous, but also made many people happy.

In the office of Chairman Bona, Chairman Deng Haijian said happily: "Good fellow, the ceiling of the domestic box office has been directly raised by 10 billion by Xu Xiyu's box office? No, more than that, there are still 5 days left."

"In this way, as long as the movie is of good quality, it will most likely benefit. In this matter, we all really have to thank Xu Xiyu." A man next to him also said happily.

"Thank you?" Deng Haijian was stunned, then sneered, "What are you thinking? Thank you. Some people will probably be jealous to death."

"Hahahahahahaha." As soon as these words were spoken, a burst of laughter immediately rang out in the entire office.

They were laughing happily because Deng Haijian and Xu Xiyu had reached a preliminary cooperation. As long as the cooperation was pleasant, they would definitely eat meat together in the future.

Also happy were Cheng Guangzu from Chia-Ho University and Du Yuxiong from Taiwen University.

The two were already opening champagne.

Physically popping champagne in Cheng Guangzu's office.

While drinking, they said "Congratulations" and "Congratulations" to each other.

In contrast, Wu Youjin, who had the opportunity to cooperate with Xu Xiyu but chose not to, really couldn't laugh.

No one knew that he just couldn't help himself and called Xu Xiyu with a smug face.

The content of the call was about cooperating to make a Hong Kong film. According to him, even if Xu Xiyu really wanted to make a Hong Kong film, he would throw a few million or ten million at it to give Xu Xiyu some face.

But the response he got was predictable.

Xu Xiyu just said: "There is no share left. Let's cooperate again next time if there is a chance, Mr. Wu."

This kind of reply made Wu Youjin very angry.

But he couldn't let others see that he was angry.

So, on the 26th day after the release of "Dying to Survive", the secretary came to tell him that the single-day box office was still 1.1 million yuan, and the total box office had reached 44.5 billion yuan.

Even though he was already mad with jealousy.

Still, he had to reply with a calm look and a pretentious tone, "It seems that Master Mai is right. Xu Xiyu's luck is about to change. This is his last madness.

As the saying goes, everything has its limits. The higher his box office is now, the bleaker it will be in the future; the more successful he is now, the more unlucky he will be in the future.

The principle between heaven and earth is carried out in the flow of yin and yang. There is no such thing as success all the time. It is just a coincidence."

These tough words made his secretary very angry.

He clearly remembered that when the company's last movie was released, Master Mai told his boss that as long as he wore a "red bow tie" during the press conference, it would definitely be a hit.

The boss did as he was told, but the movie flopped.

When I went back to ask, Master Mai said, "Your bow tie is dark red. You should wear bright red, the same red as the ones used on spring couplets and lanterns. This red is not right, so it failed."

Thinking of this, the secretary missed "White Dragon King" very much. They were both masters, but that master was obviously more reliable.

Time passed by in the secretary's memory.

On the 27th day of its release, "Dying to Survive" grossed 9 million yuan on a single day, bringing its total box office to 45.4 billion yuan.

On the 28th day, the single-day box office was 7 million and the total box office was 46.1 billion.

On the 29th day, the single-day box office was still more than 46.8 million, and the total box office had reached billion.

On the 30th day, no one paid attention to the single-day box office.

Because everyone is watching it, the key has been extended to add more time for the release of "Dying to Survive".

“Will it be postponed?”

"Nonsense, there are tens of millions of box office revenue coming in every day, why not postpone it?"

"That's right. If I were Xu Xiyu, I would definitely postpone the release date. If I postpone it for another month, the box office revenue might exceed 50 billion."

"Stop talking. No more postponement."

"what?"

"There will be no postponement. The official account of "Dying to Survive" has publicly announced that it will be released today."

"Ah? Why?"

"Who knows? Could it be that Xu Xiyu wanted to tell everyone that he won the championship fairly?"

You know what, Xu Xiyu had this in mind.

Of course, the bigger reason is that part of the box office revenue was earned by "holding your breath".

How should we understand this? It's like doing a plank. There is a 60-second countdown in front of you. Many people can hold on by looking at the timer.

But if there were no timer, probably fewer people would be able to hold on.

By the same token, the reason why "Dying to Survive" can still maintain a box office of 7 million is because the countdown is about to begin.

If the release date is postponed at this time, the single-day box office will definitely collapse.

It is better to download the painting directly, then put it on the online platform, and then reap the benefits of the Internet revenue. This is more cost-effective and will also improve the reputation.

After learning that the film would not be postponed, colleagues and audiences who were watching the film turned their attention to the box office.

0 o'clock is coming soon.

As the last show began, ticket sales stopped across the board.

The total box office was also calculated.

Lv Qinyao and Gong Lingyun were constantly refreshing the data, waiting for the final data to come out. The studio had already prepared the posters, and would send them out once the final data came out.

She felt that Gong Lingyun was right. In the past, she did not dare or rarely talked about her achievements.

Now she feels there is nothing she can't talk about.

I still say that, it’s my man who supports me, so I have to hold it in if I’m not convinced!

"It's out!" Just when Lu Qinyao was thinking about all sorts of things, Gong Lingyun screamed.

"How much?" Lu Qinyao asked immediately.

"47.7 billion, more than 14 billion more than "Huasheng Stew Shop". Qinyao, I think you have been the highest-grossing heroine in the country for a long time." Gong Lingyun shook Lv Qinyao's shoulders excitedly.

After the shake, he didn't wait for Lu Qinyao to reply, but turned around to direct the publicity team to make posters.

Five minutes later, a poster was handed out.

In the center of the poster is a still of Lv Qinyao in the play, and the accompanying text is relatively conventional, with box office numbers and auspicious words.

Looking at the poster, Lu Qinyao was in a good mood. It was at this moment that she suddenly discovered that someone was posting posters faster than her.

This person is Xu Xiyu.

At this time, Xu Xiyu posted several Weibo posts, updating the individual posters of some characters in a nine-square format, with relatively uniform captions.

For example, [Thank you @许逢春@孟成明...teachers for their hard work].

Looking at these posters, Lu Qinyao instinctively flipped through them, but didn't find her own.

Just when she was wondering.

But I saw another update on Xu Xiyu’s official Weibo.

This time the caption is much longer: [“Dying to Survive” closed successfully with a total box office of 47.7356 billion. Thank you all for your support and love.

In the future, Hua Qing and Xiao Moss will work hard to bring you more and better film works. I hope you can continue to support us. Thank you! 】

Under this Weibo, there is no longer a nine-square grid. There is only one poster, and the poster shows a still of Lv Qinyao.

See this.

Lu Qinyao laughed.

But soon, she covered her face and sobbed again.

Xu Xiyu on the other side also looked like he was about to cry. He struggled and said, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

"What a romantic man you are. Are you publicly expressing your love?" Ke Xinying pinched the soft flesh on Xu Xiyu's waist, her tone was sour.

However, she didn't pinch very hard.

Xu Xiyu didn't feel any pain either.

But sometimes, that's just how it has to be, isn't it?
