Chapter 158 Killing like crazy
[“To Youth” – A Gift to Graduates]

[Xu Ming's new film "So Young" is now in theaters, and a fan proposed to him at the premiere]

[Another Internet buzzword is born, single dog will replace bachelor and become a popular term among young people]

Various media reports appeared frequently.

In addition to the travel expenses paid by Qiming Entertainment, Xu Ming's own popularity also played a big role.

"We're Not Short of Money" and "Help or Not" are still occasionally rebroadcast on TV and continue to radiate influence.

Wanda Cinema.

There was a long queue at the door.

A reporter from the movie channel appeared at the scene with a photographer, and was also stunned when he saw this scene.

It has been a long time since the domestic film industry has been so prosperous.

However, last year's "Avatar" caused long queues in various cinemas.

"Student, may I ask why you chose to watch this movie?" the reporter asked.

The male student turned his head and saw the camera was pointed at him. He immediately became excited: "I came here for Nazha. Nazha loves you so much. It's rooted in my heart."

"And me, I'm here for Jingtian, Jingtian, fly bravely, the ice cream cone will always be with you!"

"Oh, our Ni Ni is the leading actress, and you are just supporting roles."

This time, both boys and girls joined in and argued for the idols they supported.

For them, these three people were voted for by them one by one, and they watched them enter the entertainment industry with their own eyes.

The feeling of cultivation is self-evident.

"It seems that the three new actresses in 'So Young' are all very popular."

The reporter smiled awkwardly and found a silent person in the crowd, "Why are you here?"

"20% discount..." The chubby boy hesitated to speak.

"What else?" the reporter asked.

"Also, I heard that there are many female college students who come to watch "So Young" and want to find a girlfriend."

Xiaopang chuckled, and the innocent look on his face instantly disappeared.

The reporter was dumbfounded. This movie has a friendship attribute?
……

"Don't go too far in publicity. Keep it in moderation. Avoid articles about people watching So Young and having one-night stands or romantic encounters."

"And the blog post about waiting for a couple to break up outside a movie theater and then going up to comfort a girl, you can tell at a glance that it was written by Zhuo Wei. It's too radical."

After finishing a roadshow, Xu Ming sat in the car and gave instructions to his assistant Xiaojuan.

The latter took notes and said: "One-night stands and romantic encounters were not written by us. It seems that they were spontaneously created by netizens."

"That's even worse. It will have a bad impact. Cooperate with the website to suppress it."

Xu Ming spoke in a decisive tone. He no longer needed such crooked methods to market his movie.

The school beauty contest and his own popularity alone are enough.

The rest depends on whether the quality of the movie is good enough to stand out.

If half of the college students who have previously participated in the campus beauty contest voting are attracted to watch the movie, that would be millions of viewers.

Judging from the long queues reported by Wanda Cinema Line’s theaters at present, the previous tactics should be effective.

"Have the premiere box office figures come out?" Xu Ming asked.

"Not yet, but soon." Xiaojuan said.

Not only is he waiting for the first day box office, I believe many people in the industry are also waiting.

The car drove towards the next roadshow venue.

He and Guo Fan split into two groups. He took Sun Yizhou, Wang Chuanjun and others to visit cinemas other than Wanda, while Guo Fan took Ni Ni and the other two girls to visit Wanda cinemas in various cities.

The popularity of these three people in Wanda Cinema is no less than that of Xu Ming.

There is no way around it. Most of them are college students who are trying to take advantage of the situation, and most of them have voted for the three women.

Ten minutes later, Xu Ming's phone rang at the same time as Xiao Juan's.

"The box office on the first day was 1850 million. Mr. Xu, it's a huge hit!" Xiaojuan said excitedly.

Following this trend, the box office revenue will surely exceed 100 million yuan.

And it is not Xu Ming's usual comedy style, it is a youth film with a group of new actors. The success of this film is even more convincing than "Love Is Not Blind".

But after she cheered, she was embarrassed to find that Xu Ming did not have a smile on his face. Instead, he looked confused and dissatisfied.

Could it be that... even if the box office exceeds 100 million, it won't satisfy the other party's appetite?

"Let's put the press release on hold and wait until after the first weekend." Xu Ming said in a deep voice.

In his opinion, the potential of his movie is far more than just earning over 100 million yuan.

Millions were spent on pre-release publicity and promotion alone, and there was also a school beauty contest and two hit theme songs to support the film.

In the end, the box office on the first day was only 1850 million, which was much lower than his expectations.

Of course, this is for him.

For others, it was the prelude to a big movie hit.

Calls came in one after another.

From Han Sanping to Wanda Cinema Line, Star Media and other investors with contact information.

The head of Star Media even scolded: "Mr. Xu, you thought of Wanda for this project, why didn't you think of us? You must call on Star Media next time."

"Yes, definitely."

Xu Ming agreed verbally, but in his heart he sneered and said it was bullshit.

Even Wanda was attracted by Jingtian because of its relationship.

At that time, he had far more enemies than friends in the film industry.

Many investors did not have further contact with him because of his connections with the Hong Kong circle.

But now, the success of his second film, which he wrote and starred in, has proved that he did not rely on luck.

For a while, the phone never stopped ringing.

By the time he got off the bus, Xu Ming's phone was still receiving calls.

Sun Yizhou and others behind him looked excited.

"Mr. Xu, the first day's box office is out. Our movie has a good chance of making over 100 million yuan," said Sun Yizhou.

He is the second male lead in the play, and a movie with a box office of over 100 million yuan can directly make him a star.

It can be said that he has stepped ahead of actors of the same age.

But he is definitely no match for Xu Ming in front of him.

"understood."

Xu Ming said calmly, turning his head and saying, "It's just the first day box office results. Why are you so excited? Let's wait and see in a few days."

What do you mean?
Is there a possibility that it will open high and close low?
Sun Yizhou scratched his head and a guess flashed through his mind. Could it be that in Mr. Xu's eyes, today's first-day box office was considered a low opening?
Day three.

Xu Ming continued to lead his team on roadshows as usual and was not affected by the media hype at all.

Yesterday’s box office figures have come out: 2830 million.

The single-day box office increased by nearly 10 million, and that was on Wednesday.

The media's voices are getting louder.

Fourth day.

"Ocean Paradise" directed by Xue Xiaolu and starring Jet Li and Wen Zhang was released.

The media slightly shifted their attention and the third day box office figures for "So Young" were released, which was 3100 million, with no sign of stopping the upward trend.

However, Xu Ming and his Qiming Entertainment remained silent.

There was no celebration or showing off, just silent roadshows in various cities.

From the capital to the Magic City, and then to Guangshen.

Until the fifth day we arrived in Yucheng.

As expected of being one of the three hottest places in the country, Xu Ming was feeling extremely hot. He was on his way to the next show during his routine roadshow.

Xiaojuan reported yesterday's box office in a trembling voice: "Yesterday's single-day box office was 3540 million, and the cumulative box office after four days of release is 11320 million."

She no longer cared about being excited, she just felt that everything was too dreamy.

Previously, she thought that the total box office could exceed 100 million yuan, but now, the movie box office has exceeded 100 million yuan before the first weekend, which is generally recognized as the most profitable.

Our own movies are selling like crazy during the summer vacation!
