Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 535 This should all be considered a "work-related injury"
There were no competitors, no rivals trying to trip them up, and even the trolls and online trolls that used to be common had gone into hiding.
This is Yanzi's most direct feeling when she was in charge of film promotion and distribution.

In the past, no matter what, there were always various "heroes" who would come out and cause trouble. For example, online trolls were like doing daily tasks, and writing bad reviews was something they could hardly avoid.

Even Yanzi herself possesses such "power," which is how competition works in the film and television industry.

Even hiring online trolls to post negative reviews and lower the ratings of competitors' movies is considered relatively "normal" business competition.

Because there are many more despicable things to do.

The current situation really left her somewhat at a loss.
As if overnight, the entire film and television industry turned "pure white".

As I've said before, the industry needs confidence and leaders.
For the film market, which has been closed for nearly half a year, it is now in dire need of someone to step forward and give the market confidence, while also stimulating the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies.

Of course, we can't really treat all our colleagues as good people; barring any unforeseen circumstances, they've only been this well-behaved for the past few days.

Unless this movie flops, people will pretend they didn't see it, or take the opportunity to criticize it.

But after the box office figures of 360 million yuan on the first day came out, Yanzi knew that it would only last three days at most.
Three days later, those trenching colleagues would definitely be unable to resist starting to "get to work".

Therefore, we must not let our guard down.

These scoundrels in the film and television industry have absolutely no bottom line.

However, I've gradually gotten used to this kind of thing. Every time one of Bai Liang's recent movies was released, he received the same treatment.

It even started before the movie was released.

Various negative comments and low scores, but the negative impact is so-so, it's really useless.

However, the box office of 360 million yuan on the first day was indeed a shot in the arm for the entire industry!

Before the release of "Better Days", almost no one could be sure how the film would turn out.

Even the most experienced veterans become novices during this unprecedented lull in employment, unable to predict anything whatsoever.

And some places are even still sealed off.
To put it simply, although no industry peers have publicly predicted Bai Liang's downfall this time, since everyone hopes that Bai Liang can make a successful debut, privately, there is basically no one who is optimistic about him.

With a six-month hiatus, audiences have almost given up going to the movies. How much box office revenue can the company generate under these circumstances?

Some people have made some predictions: breaking 100 million on the first day would be considered a great achievement for Bai Liang.

However, when the box office figures of 360 million yuan on the first day were released...
How many? !
Dude, you're really something!

While everyone was stunned, their hearts also burned with excitement. So the film market was actually working perfectly?!

The most obvious change is that several films that were originally scrambling for the National Day holiday release have opted to move up their release dates.

This year's summer movie season is quite quiet; very few films have chosen to release during this period, and many people are just waiting and seeing.
Now that the first person to try this has achieved such a high box office on the first day, it has naturally spurred many others to jump in immediately.

We need to quickly secure some of the later dates.

However, many savvy people continue to observe, since first-day box office figures are often unreliable.

"What a load of crap! Didn't these guys see that it averages over 90% of the screenings?"

"If this kind of screening schedule had been given to Bai Liang's previous films, I feel that they might have been able to generate a billion yuan in daily box office revenue."

"Many theaters are giving it 100% screen time; no other movie has ever received this kind of treatment before."

"The film market is unbelievable right now. The opening day box office is so high, the rating has broken nine, and the reviews are overwhelmingly positive. I dare not say for sure that this movie will continue to take off."

"."

The initial success of "Better Days" prompted some gamblers to make a quick decision and enter the market, but most people continued to observe from the sidelines.

The uncertainty is still too great.

This uncertainty stems not only from the unique nature of the market, but also from the unique nature of Bai Liang himself.

It is said that Lu Han, who once ushered in the era of internet celebrities and became a top star with an unparalleled influence, has also personally created the end of fan-driven films.

His departure from the film and television industry seems to mark the end of an era.

When everyone turned around, they found that there was some bastard who was using exaggerated hexagonal data to forcefully prolong the life of the movie for fans!
Bai Liang has been enjoying the perks of watching movies with fans all along!
He is also a top-tier celebrity with an unparalleled number of fans across the entire internet; he has everything that other young male celebrities have.

It's just that the high quality of the work somewhat overshadows this point.

His movie-watching frenzy is frequent, and the shouts and jumping of his fans are often not as loud as the noise from casual viewers.

Therefore, many people are unsure about him. Just like this time, a bunch of Bai Liang's fans charged online, determined to help their idol achieve great success after the film market restarted.

This is, of course, purely a fan economy.

However, the biggest characteristic of fan-oriented movies made by popular celebrities is that they lack staying power.

Generally, sales are strong on the first day and during pre-sales, but then they weaken instantly after that period.

The industry has already summarized its experience.

There are virtually no exceptions.

So, if fans were really that powerful, then the movies currently topping the box office charts should be...
Damn it! The top three spots all belong to that bastard Bai Liang.

However, he is a rather complex figure, and the top three highest-grossing films he currently stars in have little to do with fan films.

The film achievements of other top stars speak even more clearly.

"So we can't let our guard down! We have to keep working hard!" Chen Duling analyzed earnestly.

“That’s right!” Zhou Ye responded enthusiastically, his face tense, his expressionless look making him seem like a “villainess” from a movie.

Generally speaking, roles like the villainous second female lead who bullies the female lead, played by Zhou Ye, are very likely to provoke hatred from the audience.

The better the performance, the more likely it is to be hated by others as well.

Many actors have experienced this.

But Zhou Ye not only acted well, but also gained many fans, all thanks to her face.

She's definitely a bully, but she's incredibly beautiful!
With the full-fledged marketing from Hesong, even a "bad girl" can still gain a huge following!
So this girl is full of energy now!

If even the second female lead can achieve such great success, then the lead actress Chen Duling is naturally no exception. Her team is already trying to use this movie to help her break into the A-list. Of course, that's a bit difficult, since her filmography is still too thin.

But breaking into the top tier of post-90s actresses should be no problem.

The premise is that "Better Days" can continue to stand out.

Sure enough, the box office results on the second day sent them into a panic. After 360 million yuan on the first day, it plummeted to just over 200 million yuan on the second day—a drop of more than a third, which was truly nerve-wracking. Don't be ridiculous.
Fortunately, the box office revenue on the third day did not continue to decline, but instead rebounded to 280 million.

Such fluctuating box office figures are truly baffling.

However, the cumulative box office revenue in the first three days was quite impressive, and even the most blind person wouldn't dare say that "Better Days" flopped.

The two girls were thrilled with this result!
A blockbuster movie!

Such works greatly enhance the careers of actors!
Whether it's a movie or a TV series.

Sometimes, even for an unknown actor, getting such an opportunity can be a transformative experience in their career!
With the support of a hit work, the audience's filter will last for quite a long time. As long as you can produce enough quality works during this period, you can truly achieve a leap in status!
He can be considered a candidate for top-tier star status.

This refers to Chen Duling. If she can produce another strong work in the future, she might really become a top-tier star and experience a meteoric rise to fame.

However, it is clearly quite difficult.

These days, everyone lacks good works and resources, especially film resources.

For female artists, securing a film role with sufficient screen time and significance is inherently difficult.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be a single female artist among the most bankable people in the film industry to this day.

Even Ma Li couldn't do it.

That ethereal beauty has been in the film industry for so many years, but in the end, what people remember most are her roles in those early TV dramas.

Chen Duling's team is clearly aware of this, and they plan to focus on TV dramas from now on. They hope to leverage the popularity of the movie "Better Days" to launch a "lower-dimensional attack" and secure more good TV drama resources.

Instead of struggling in the film industry and becoming someone else's accessory.

As for whether they can go back and make another huge hit TV series and break into the ranks of top-tier stars, it's really hard to say, unless they can collaborate with Bai Liang again within two years, and she can't be the supporting female lead.

Unfortunately, the competition in this area is even greater!

Bai Lu was so anxious about keeping her lead role in "Police Glory," a role with relatively few scenes, that she was afraid someone would jump out and steal it from her, kicking her out of the game.

This is just a minor female lead role.

If there are any dramas with a lot of screen time and a strong female lead, like Da Tian Tian's "Si Teng", Dilraba's "Glory", and Nazha's "Intimacy", who knows how fierce the competition will be, except for "Personal Tailor".

Fortunately, Dudu is now in a very calm state of mind.
Having witnessed the chaotic scenes of premieres, her desire to rush forward had diminished considerably.

Instead of worrying about gains and losses and racking your brains to figure out how to take down those extremely formidable "bad women," why not just relax, enjoy the good times you have now, and make the most of them!
Sure enough, on the third night, Bai Liang experienced a rare display of enthusiasm from Dudu.

Although Bai Liang had noticed a difference in her voice compared to her usual self, that was only in terms of her voice; in other aspects, she was still the more reserved and shy type.

It tickles when you touch it, and you can't help but shrink back.

But under the dual stimulation of the movie's box office and the impending "loss" of her senior, Dudu seemed unable to resist trying out a slightly more unrestrained style.

Unfortunately, because the frequency was already very high these past two days, she couldn't maintain her unrestrained behavior for long.

Bai Liang, a contestant with exceptional energy and outstanding physical strength, was putting all his strength into her alone, almost as if he wanted to "tear her apart" alive.

The reason I had so much time and energy to work up a sweat in the hotel was mainly because the original roadshow plan was canceled.

Being able to hold a premiere is basically considered a green light. If you go around doing roadshows and large gatherings of people, to be honest, if nothing goes wrong, that's fine, but if something goes wrong, you really can't take the blame.

So the film producers thought about it for a long time, but ultimately didn't dare to take that risk.

Bai Liang was confident that nothing would go wrong, but he couldn't explain this to anyone, and it wouldn't be bad for him to be able to slack off.

However, since we can't do offline roadshows, we have to work harder online.

Media interviews and live-streamed promotions led the creative team to simply "set up camp" in a hotel.

This makes everything much more convenient.

But the most convenient thing is for the male and female leads to mess around off-screen.
Dudu was initially pretending to stay in another room, but starting from the second day, she felt it was inconvenient and brought her own suitcase over.

Her suitcase was just sitting there in the living room, open.

I didn't have my assistant come and tidy up, so it's a little messy.

Anyway, when Zhou Ye arrived, all he saw was Dudu, who was wearing a nightgown and yawning constantly.

Upon closer inspection, she wasn't even wearing underwear.

The key point is that Zhou Ye didn't observe the other person's upper body, but rather accidentally became Bo Miaorenfeng while Chen Duling was sitting on the sofa.
One wave turned Zhou Ye into a red-hot puppy.

Even though we're all girls, this is just too much.
That's outrageous! They're not treating her like a human being at all!

Zhou Ye felt that the other party was doing it on purpose, from the suitcase to the current clothes, it was all about asserting dominance.

Honestly, this trick was very useful when we were filming.

but now.
Zhou Ye: Sister, you're so amazing, why didn't you stand up and assert your dominance at the premiere?!
After the premiere, some girls were disheartened, and their initial enthusiasm waned considerably.

But some girls were actually "encouraged"!
If others can do it, why can't I?!

To be honest, Chen Duling didn't really intend to do anything to assert her dominance in front of Zhou Ye; she was just too tired.

My arms, legs, and back are all sore; it feels like my body is about to fall apart.

In this situation, simply putting on a nightgown would be a sign of respect for Zhou Ye.

She hasn't worn underwear since yesterday's interview.
Even Zhou Ye's arrival at this moment was a relief for Chen Duling.

At least for now, her senior won't be bothering her for no reason.
Well, some things are hard to put into words. Although the feeling of flying is amazing, you can't keep flying forever, or you'll run out of steam.

If she maintains this high intensity for a few more days, she feels she might need to rest for a month or two afterward.

This should all be considered a "work-related injury," right?
Of course, even so, Chen Duling didn't suggest finding someone to share the burden.

Zhou Ye can just be a third wheel here; he doesn't need to help her with the burden.

There's a live promotional broadcast later that evening, which will give her some more rest time.

However, under these circumstances, Zhou Ye's rebellious nature led him to do something reckless!
Originally, because Bai Liang touched the wrong person before, a certain boundary was broken in a lot at once.

So, Zhou Ye, who was originally sitting next to Chen Duling, took the opportunity to go to the bathroom, wandered around for a while, and returned to the sofa, where he sat directly next to Bai Liang.

At the same time, she stretched out her little hand. She could do the same things that Sister Dudu had done on the film set!

I had two days of phototherapy at the hospital, and it doesn't hurt as much anymore. I should be able to update normally starting tomorrow.
