Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 338 "Hero" is really going to break 300 million views! Will the Queen of Sweet Songs help Yuanyuan get on the Spring Festival Gala?
"With Spider-Man coming, Heroes is probably doomed!"

"This Spider-Man movie is absolutely fantastic!"

"Although it has already been released overseas, this movie is still worth seeing in theaters!"

"Are you kidding me? I've already watched the pirated version, what's the point of watching this now?!"

As a Hollywood blockbuster, the release of "Spider-Man" certainly carries weight.

Not only through public promotions, but also online, many netizens have recommended this movie.

However, it was already released three months ago, and at the current rate, pirated copies are already rampant in our country.

In other words, box office revenue will definitely be affected.

Even so, this is still a Hollywood blockbuster, especially compared to "Hero" at this stage.

We're bound to win!

The film "Hero" is now in its final screening stage.

According to the logic of typical movies, the box office at this point is almost negligible.

Of course, "Hero" is clearly not an ordinary movie; it's a phenomenal blockbuster from China!
Even in this final stage, the box office performance remained impressive.

Although it's not as good as before, it's still an absolute powerhouse compared to other movies.

These two films collided in early August.

What kind of sparks will it create?

Who will win and who will lose?
night.

A small courtyard in Beijing.

Ma Xun was sitting under a persimmon tree drinking tea.

There was a laptop in front of him, and he was checking emails and QQ.

It seems they are completely unconcerned about the box office battles outside.

However, some people seem dissatisfied.

"Xiao Ma, why aren't you keeping an eye on the box office numbers?"

The mere mention of "Little Horse" is enough to make your mouth water.

No one else would speak like that.

Yang Yuying, I guess.

She seemed unchanged even after not seeing her for many days.

Time has left no trace of aging on her face, which is truly enviable.

"Why should I be watching the box office? Anyway, I've done everything I should have done, and I've also done things I shouldn't have done. I've used every trick in the book. Now it's up to 'Hero' to prove its own worth."

Ma Xun's words made sense, but Yang Yuying didn't believe them.

"You definitely have other tricks up your sleeve."

As the Queen of Sweet Songs spoke, she sat down opposite Ma Xun.

There was a computer in between, but that also made it easy for Ma Xun to look at her.

This little trick is quite interesting.

Ma Xun laughed and said, "Even if it exists, there's no need to use it. I believe 'Hero' will definitely win."

Yang Yuying smiled sweetly, "You really are my little pony~"

This woman is indeed charming.

Ma Xun frowned and said, "That's not right. You should be busy with this matter."

Yes, Xu Qing is taking care of her pregnancy, while you, Yang Yuying, are in charge of that music ringtone thing, aren't you?

It's worth noting that the two of them could work together seamlessly; one could contact the telecommunications company, and the other could handle the copyright issues.

Yang Yuying certainly understood what Ma Xun meant, and her witty response was quite interesting.

"If you're annoyed by me, then I'll just leave."

He even got up as he spoke.

Ma Xun smiled and took Yang Yuying's small hand. As expected of the Queen of Sweet Songs, her small hand was still so smooth.

He simply pulled her over and made her sit on his lap.

"You've come all this way, how could I bear to let you go?"

Yang Yuying was delighted that these words were in accordance with what the other person had said.

"You~" The Queen of Sweet Songs snuggled into Ma Xun's arms.

But she inadvertently saw the contents of Ma Xun's computer.

"This……"

"what happened?"

"You really did that on purpose, letting people see it?"

"So what if it was intentional? So what if it wasn't intentional?"

"What else can I do? I have to do it."

What are they talking about?
It turned out that Ma Xun's computer contained an email about Gao Yuanyuan's appearance on the Spring Festival Gala.

That's right, it's the one I talked to Zou Tao about before.

Ma Xun's plan was to first have Yuanyuan perform on the Spring Festival Gala as a model, and once she succeeded, it would be equivalent to announcing to the domestic entertainment industry.

I, Ma Xun, can even get my hands on resources for the Spring Festival Gala!

This is not only a further promotion for Yuanyuan, but also a demonstration of Ma Xun's power in the entertainment industry.

So, don't underestimate the importance of appearing on the Spring Festival Gala this time.

Since that's the case, and this year's appearance on the Spring Festival Gala is so important, we should naturally do our best to make it a success.

Yuanyuan... she herself was actually against appearing on the Spring Festival Gala.

The reason is very simple.

"I don't have any skills! I can't sing, I can't dance, I'm bad at everything, how can I go on the Spring Festival Gala? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

That's good; they have self-awareness.

Ma Xun liked Yuan Yuan for this, but his response was also very simple.

"Just do as I say, why are you asking for so much?"

Powerful! Absolutely powerful!

Yuanyuan had no choice but to agree.

The two of them communicated online, since Yuanyuan was quite busy these days.

Ma Xun certainly wouldn't want Yuan Yuan to embarrass herself on the Spring Festival Gala, so he would take care of preparing a performance.

Dancing is not good, and it's very difficult to improve significantly in a short period of time. Just like Huang Sanshi's wife, she spent a lot of money, but her dancing still looked bad.

Singing is all I can do now.

As for singing... didn't Ma Xun help me out during the gardening exam?

But that was only half a song.

Let Yang Yuying help us now.

The song to be performed on the Spring Festival Gala will definitely need to be rearranged, and the melody will also need to suit Yuanyuan.

That's right. When celebrities sing, the music is meant to match the singer, not the other way around.

It's perfectly normal.

Ma Xun wasn't incapable of completing the second half, but the entire project was too demanding and involved too much of his time. He decided to hand it over to Yang Yuying, asking her to find a team and ideally establish a long-term partnership.

There will likely be many more people like Ma Xun appearing on the Spring Festival Gala in the future.

That's pretty good.

Yang Yuying was obviously unaware of these things, but she would definitely do it.

The Queen of Sweet Songs understands that she has no chance to perform on the Spring Festival Gala. Although the previous incident is over, she still won't have the opportunity.

In that sense, being able to help others get on the Spring Festival Gala is quite an interesting job.

However, Yang Yuying also figured something out.

"My little horse, you seem to have a lot of affection for Yuanyuan."

"Favoritism? Is there?"

"Hehe... It's not that I'm jealous, I know I can't compare to younger girls, but... is it because of Bingbing?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xun couldn't help but laugh. "Think what you want."

To Yang Yuying, these words were tantamount to a tacit admission.

However, this tactic is not bad. Bingbing has indeed become a bit arrogant since she became an award-winning actress.

That's normal. She's so young, ambitious, beautiful, and has resources... If it were Yang Yuying, she would get arrogant too!

And now...

"Little Pony~"

"Your voice is really amazing."

"Hey hey hey..."

The Queen of Sweet Songs' voice is too sweet; Ma Xun needs to work up a sweat through exercise.

Before long, Yang Yuying was pinned to the table.

Ma Xun carried the other person's two legs.

……

Preparations for the Spring Festival Gala are still underway.

The key at this stage is still the box office battle.

Spider-Man was released with great fanfare.

As a Hollywood film, it boasts a rather impressive cast.

The director is also very well-known.

This film is still a critical and commercial success overseas.

So, everything about it is an advantage!

How could a Hollywood blockbuster with such a huge advantage lose?!
However, the real film market won't necessarily deliver high box office returns just because of these factors.

Moreover, the movie "Hero" even has oil in it!
The data is out after the first week of release!

"What? That's all there is to Spider-Man?"

"That's quite a lot, really quite a lot!"

"Is it a mistake?"

"You guys don't think that just because it's a Hollywood movie, it's amazing, do you?"

Netizens were the first to express their surprise.

Because Spider-Man only grossed a little over ten million dollars in its opening week!
It's worth noting that this movie didn't have a premiere in China; it was released directly after the initial publicity.

That is to say, I enjoyed the entire three-day weekend.

But more than ten million in just three days... that's indeed a bit low.

But what about the opponent?
When the data for "Heroes" came out last weekend, netizens were even more surprised.

"More than ten million?!"

"What? Even now, 'Hero' can still earn over ten million?!"

"Is that surprising? The movie 'Hero' was such a huge hit!"

"Awesome! They still managed to make over ten million at the box office towards the end! Awesome!"

It ended in a draw?!

No, if you look closely at the data, it could be tens of thousands higher.

It appears to be a tie, but in reality, Heroes has won!
Immediately, many movie fans on the internet were in an uproar.

Especially those who already greatly admire Hollywood blockbusters.

"There must be a data error!"

"Some people probably watch domestic films out of patriotism!"

"Patriotism should not affect a film's box office!"

These words... may seem bizarre, but they're actually just asking for trouble!

But in the present day, the true colors of many public intellectuals and the public opinion they guide are revealed.

This actually provided fertile ground for these statements.

But can these statements really influence the real landscape of the film market?
Seven days later, the second week of Spider-Man's release also came to an end.

Now let's look at the results...

"Spider-Man has grossed 20 million!"

"Box office revenue did not decline in the second week!"

"Actually, it has declined; we're looking at the seven-day box office figures right now!"

In fact, it is normal for a film's box office to decline in its second week.

That's basically how it is.

Spider-Man's ability to gross 20 million yuan in just ten days is actually quite an impressive achievement.

This is also a standard feature of blockbuster movies.

But what about Hero?

"It also grossed 20 million at the box office!"

"In fact, if you calculate it carefully, it's even more!"

"My God! Even at a time like this, 'Hero' can still deliver such a performance?"

"The stronger the opponent, the stronger they become!"

No one expected that "Heroes" could actually hold its own!
At this point, many people couldn't hold back anymore.

Say anything.

But at this point, many people finally saw a key 'reason'.

"That ringtone ad seems to be quite effective."

"Of course! That ad is incredibly useful!"

"With mobile phones becoming so ubiquitous these days, the advertising effect is naturally phenomenal!"

That's right, this mobile phone ringtone ad became the key to Heroes' victory over Spider-Man!

While many people are focused on the box office battle between these two films, many have overlooked one thing.

With such a surge in box office revenue for "Hero"... 3 million is just around the corner!
