The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 484 Must Face
When Li Lili got home, she went straight to the bedroom.

Turn on the air conditioner, kick off your shoes, and jump into bed, all in one go.

After spending some time in the stuffy room that hadn't been purified by the cold air, I realized that my phone hadn't been charged.

Recharge.

The weather in August is so hot!!!

Turn on.

The news in the group of people who wanted to get rich quickly popped up first.

"After watching Bad Genius, my comment is that it's super good! Your lucky star Si Ya has a bright future! Zhou Ye is also very versatile! Liu Haoran is handsome, and Sheng Ke is the most impressive. It is predicted that the box office will be guaranteed to be 10 billion when it is officially released!"

From the local tycoon Bevido.

I envy the rich.

Tickets for the premiere of "Bad Genius" at the Haishi Film Festival were being sold at 4 yuan each by scalpers. Li Lili pretended to ask twice, and each time the scalper replied that he would notify her as soon as the ticket was available. Now the movie has ended, and the scalper has not yet come to notify her.

When asked how much he spent on the ticket, Bei Dakuang only admitted that it was more than 4.

There's nothing we can do, there are just too few tickets.

Due to the epidemic, this year's Haishi Film Festival was postponed to early August. Most of the films were screened online, some were screened outdoors on the streets of Haishi, and only a few were screened in theaters.

"Bad Genius" belongs to this small part.

Referring to the cinemas that have resumed operations, the occupancy rate cannot exceed 30%, and most of the seats are reserved for senior film critics, reporters, KOLs and other industry insiders. There are only two shows.

Even if you have money you can’t buy tickets, you have to go through internal channels.

At least when it comes to evaluating movies and TV series related to Xu Xing, Bei Dakuan has always used these three words: super good.

"Only 10 billion?"

Li Lili joined the chat.

Xia Mo: "Is 10 billion not enough??? Starting from the 85 batch, how many actors can have a box office of 10 billion for their first-place movie? Bad Genius has a box office of 10 billion, so Si Ya can start to challenge Zhou Dongyu."

Li Lili: "If it's only 10 billion, then that's the lowest box office in the history of Lucky Saint movies, including the screenwriter and the actors."

Xia: "Have you forgotten "My Girlhood" and "Detective Chinatown 1"? [Sweating]"

Li: “Uh…”

Inawen: "The lucky saint in Lilibao's heart is really more brilliant than the one in our hearts. [Laughing and crying]"

Bei: "Maybe it's a bit conservative. In fact, when I left the market, I overheard a professional predicting 15 billion."

Yi: "Wow! If it surpasses "Better Days", Si Ya will beat all the 90s and 00s students and flowers!"

Xia: "As for the box office, The Wandering Earth has already won the first place. The actual performance of the movie is considered third. Xing Sheng really loves Si Ya and helped her get the third place."

Bei: "But I also heard some people talking about whether the movie might have some negative connotations, since it's about students cheating on exams."

Yi: "A black PR sneaked in? How shameless! [vomit]"

Yi: "Can you kill all the black PRs and give me the tickets?! ! ! [Pathetic]"

The discussion in the group was in full swing, and Li Lili couldn't help but smile.

In addition, the cold air finally completely dominated the room, making both the body and mind feel extremely comfortable.

Then, I remembered my ex-best friend Wang Yu whom I had just secretly heard from my new friend Li Chenxi...

Li Chenxi said, "I used to like Xu Xing very much, but I will never like her again." Was this change just because half of Xu Xing's house collapsed in 18?

She also said that Wang Yu would never like other stars in the future.

Is it so exaggerated?

Li Chenxi's evasive words could be heard to have hidden meanings, but the only hidden meaning that Li Lili could imagine was: he was temporarily infatuated with Xu Xing? And then he suddenly came to his senses?
...Well, Wang Yu is not that kind of person.

I still have to find a way to keep asking!

Looking at the group again, the topic has changed to discussing the dispute between King Oyster Mushroom and exhaust gas.

Yi: "There are really many people in the European and American circles who are mean and mean, technical secondary school dropouts pretending to be Ivy League graduates, and their brains are not very good. They have stiff slang that they think is humorous, as if everyone has bitch cancer, and they can just spew out bitch and bitch at the same time! [vomit]"

summer:"……"

cowry:"……"

plum:"……"

Keep up with the pace.

Xia: "Is this still the cute 11-year-old we used to have? What has being a fan brought you? What have you chosen to learn and absorb?"

Yi: "[shy] What's wrong... Hey! I'm just mad, they are so shameless! They insisted on saying that Taylor Swift ate the crispy and tender base of Lucky Saint, and kept reposting it on the screen. Look, who wouldn't go crazy after seeing such remarks! [sad]"

cowry:"????"

plum:"?????"

Yi: "And next week we will definitely continue to push for "Blinding Lights". They wanted us to continue to push "Exile" together, but we didn't want to, so they started to make a scene and made up a lot of overseas news to slander us, such as spending $50 to have sex with Lady Gaga, and being raped by Bieber's agent... Anyway, I was so pissed off [haha]"

Xia: "This is nothing new. They can't beat you."

Yi: “It’s hard to win, but they love to photoshop pictures too much. When we photoshop Taylor Swift’s pictures, they just say thank you and save it. Not only save it, but also use it on Tieba right away. [Hehe]”

Bei: "... Was it someone else's fans who played the role? Taylor Swift's rivals."

Yi: “It’s not a cross-dressing role. [Hehe]”

Li: "Originally, most of the fans of European and American stars are fans of their careers and works. When the stars are out of fashion, they will leave faster than anyone else. Their bottom line is lower than yours."

Yi: "Anyway, the list will come out next week, so I'll teach them a lesson. [Hehe]"

Xia: "By the way, isn't your original fan BTS going to release an album soon? You guys are competing with them for the charts, don't let BTS get away with it in the end. Or are you still an ARMY (BTS fan)?"

Yi: "It's not the case for a long time. But the group hasn't left yet. They released the order in September, and they really wanted to top the B chart. My evaluation is that it's wishful thinking. [Haha]"

Xia: "You are undercover in there."

Yi: "It depends on whether they are being mean or not. We are sisters from the past, so I can't bear it. But the trend of ARMYs in China is too crazy now. I feel like they have been led astray. It's for their own good to give them a head-on blow. [Sigh]"

Bei: "Why not [hehe]?"

Yi: "Because when I saw them, I thought that if I hadn't become a star, would I also be so crazy that I would do anything to cheat or steal money from my family..."

Li: "Chasing stars is like making friends. The alienation of the environment on people is terrible."

Xia: "Teacher Li's words make sense. [Like]"

Yi: "Today, a parent suddenly logged into their group using their daughter's phone and questioned whether the group was running any illegal pyramid schemes. The group attacked and cursed the parent hundreds of times in one second. After the parent was kicked out quickly, he continued to curse and mocked the parent's daughter for pretending to be rich in the group, but it turned out that her family was receiving subsistence allowances..."

Bei: "It's always hard to describe these little stories in the fan circle. Fortunately, I don't chase stars. [Sigh]"

Xia: "Then you must have secretly taken screenshots and recorded the evidence."

Yi: "Of course. This isn't how being a fan should be."

Yi: "Compared to them, I think those girls in the European and American circles are much more normal."

----

8 month 25 day.

Billboard HOT100 chart has been updated. "Exile", which shocked the world last week, only stayed at the top position for one week, and "Blinding Lights" returned to its throne.

"Exile" is indeed a great single, but "blinding lights" can conquer more listeners in terms of popularity.

After close cooperation between Gypsophila and Strawberry at home and abroad, the fierce war between them started at the speed of light, which came to an end after the list was updated.

Because the streaming and radio plays of "Blinding Lights" after deducting sales also exceeded those of "Exile".

"Blinding Lights", which has been the champion for nine weeks, is firmly in the championship position, and "Exile", which has been the champion for one week, is also firmly in the second place.

"Send You a Little Red Flower", which has been released for nearly a month and has grossed over 21 billion yuan, also gave up a large number of screenings after the release of "Eight Hundred" last weekend. The box office was only 3000 million yuan over the two days of the weekend, and only 1000 million yuan remained after the weekdays.

The final box office should only be around 23 billion.

This film has successfully achieved the profit target it set at the beginning of the project, as well as the current expectations from both inside and outside the industry.

Xu Xing’s next work is the super heavyweight "Detective Chinatown 3", which will be released during the Spring Festival next year.

Everyone believes that this blockbuster, driven by Xu Xing, who has even greater star power this year, will be able to hit the domestic box office ceiling of 60 billion yuan.

"Of course I believe it, of course I have confidence," Xu Xing said. "'Detective Chinatown' is the result of Cheng Ge's hard work, and it is also the result of everyone's hard work for so long. I believe that during the Spring Festival next year, everyone will see that the domestic film market has returned to its peak, and there will be many movies with a box office of 40 to 50 billion yuan to support the market.

“The suppressed enthusiasm of moviegoers will see a real rebound next year. As filmmakers, all we can do is make better films and live up to the expectations of fans. We have the best fans in the world, and we should remember and cherish this.”

After Xu Xing finished speaking, there was applause from both the stage and the audience.

Director Chen Shicheng next to him looked over with a smile and nodded repeatedly.

The previously postponed Beijing International Film Festival is being held at the Yanqi Lake International Convention and Exhibition Center in Huairou, Beijing.

This time, Xu Xing did not bring any films to screen.

Because this is also a resumption of the event with greater symbolic significance, all films will be screened online, on TV and the Internet. Some of the films screened have already been released, such as last year's "My Motherland and Me".

However, the organizing committee personally invited Xu Xing to attend the 10th anniversary theme forum of the Beijing International Film Festival, saying that Xu Xing is the most influential star in the country now, and the release of "Little Red Flower" also has extraordinary significance. If we want to talk about the past, present and future of Chinese films, Xu Xing is indispensable.

Xu Xing accepted the invitation.

Xu Xing's roots are in China, so she can occasionally attend such occasions.

Just as the host boasted when introducing Xu Xing, Xu Xing is "the leader of domestic filmmakers." Now that the title has been praised so highly, Xu Xing has assumed industry responsibility and should claim the reputation.

It just so happened that the filming of "Snow Sword" was also very easy. Overall, the theme forum didn't talk about anything practical.

Xu Xing’s role is to show confidence, and Xu Xing shows confidence.

What remains is that Director Chen revealed that he will soon start producing "Mozart from Outer Space", a science fiction film related to education.

Lu Chuan talked about the impact the epidemic had on him while he was in the post-production of "Bureau 749", saying that he gained nourishment from this experience and would feed it back into the film.

Wang Zhonglei was very proud and excited when talking about the recently released "Eight Hundred".

and many more.

"It's quite boring, isn't it?"

After the forum ended, Director Chen complained with a smile.

"Yeah," Xu Xing sighed, "but I was named."

"Even if you don't want to come after being called, no one will force you to come. You are busier than anyone else in the circle right now."

"Brother Cheng said this as if he didn't want me to come."

"Have it?"

"no."

"Hengchi~" Chen Sicheng laughed and hooked Xu Xing's shoulder, "You spoke very well today! Detective Chinatown is the hard work of all of us. We must work together for next year's Spring Festival!"

"Of course!"

Xu Xing also smiled.

Director Chen changed the topic really smoothly.

But Xu Xing really didn't expect the next sentence.

"Is she here?"

"Who?"

Xu Xing asked.

Director Chen smiled and patted Xu Xing's shoulder.

"Who are you talking about? Are you still playing dumb with me?"

"Okay, Sister Tong is indeed here."

Xu Xing admitted.

Anyway, I'm not the one who's embarrassed.

Knowing that Xu Xing was going to attend the forum with Director Chen, Teacher Tong insisted on coming.

Director Chen smiled with some emotion.

"Then let's go up and chat together."

"Row."

Xu Xing nodded.

It turns out that Director Chen is going to settle the accounts.

But Director Chen added another sentence.

"I don't know if they took the kids with them, let's go up and check."

"Did not bring."

"Then go up and take a look."

"Row."

Teacher Tong was quite surprised when he opened the door.

The smile on his face froze a little.

The main reason was that Director Chen did not give Xu Xing the opportunity to notify Teacher Tong. When he arrived at the door, he knocked directly and Teacher Tong opened the door quickly.

Fortunately, Teacher Tong was dressed neatly, because she knew that Xu Xing liked to start with a serious look.

After thinking about it again, Xu Xing remembered that what Teacher Tong was wearing was the champagne-colored dress that she wore at the popular parent-teacher meeting in “Nothing But Thirty”.

"Nothing But Thirty" was aired at the end of July, after the finale of "Signal", and there is no finale yet.

Although the original female lead Tong Yao was replaced by Teacher Tong, and Teacher Tong's acting was indeed a little worse than Tong Yao's, the drama's bloody level still made it as popular as its previous life.

This time there was something more that was not there in the previous life, that is, Xu Huanshan got everyone discussing Director Chen heatedly, and everyone felt that Teacher Tong took on this drama just to secretly bitch Director Chen.

I think Teacher Tong has become one with Gu Jia.

In the gossip group, people chatter every day: Teacher Tong's PUA has developed even better after leaving Chen Gou. The movies "Time Raiders" and "The Accidental Detective" were both big hits, and the TV series "Nothing But Thirty" was also a huge hit.

Before Teacher Tong took on the role in Nothing But Thirty, she told Xu Xing that Director Chen didn't want her to take the role, but she eventually listened to Xu Xing and took the role, instead of starring in the previous drama Perfect Relationship that made everyone complain about her.

——After the broadcast of "Perfect Relationship" starring Tong Yao at the beginning of this year, it was still too bad to watch. Teacher Tong was scared and practiced several tricks to thank Xu Xing.

Maybe Director Chen was fed up with the drama “Nothing But Thirty” during this period, and finally couldn’t help but settle the score?
After entering the room, Xu Xing sat down on the sofa, still thinking with a smile on her face. Unexpectedly, Teacher Tong sat on Xu Xing's lap very naturally.

Xu Xing naturally hugged her and pulled her body closer to him to make her sit more comfortably.

Teacher Tong’s favorite thing is to sit facing forward in Xu Xing’s arms, but she has had countless experiences of sitting facing backward in Xu Xing’s arms in front of the mirror.

Director Chen, who also had a smile on his face, was probably caught off guard by Teacher Tong's behavior. When his expression changed instantly, his lips couldn't help but tremble.

However, Director Chen had seen many storms before and adjusted himself quickly.

Laugh and sigh.

"You're still like a child."

"Isn't this what you want to see?"

Teacher Tong asked back.

Director Chen's expression froze and he frowned.

"You're here, what's wrong with me coming to say hello?"

"I think it's pretty good," Xu Xing said with a smile, "Sister Tong and Brother Cheng are also just a coincidence, divorce-"

Xu Xing didn't continue.

Because Teacher Tong stepped on Xu Xing's foot, his body paused in his arms.

He turned back and scolded.

"Don't talk, this is our business, it has nothing to do with you. Didn't you bring any other women with you?"

"How is it nothing to do with Xiao Xing?" Director Chen asked back, but his expression seemed to be forced to relax. "I just said hello to you, and then talked to Xiao Xing about Detective Chinatown. I don't want to have any problems with you or Xiao Xing. Although I am very surprised by your change, I can accept it. You don't have to deliberately make me angry like this."

At the end of the speech, Director Chen looked serious and calm.

"Okay," Teacher Tong shrugged, "You guys chat."

But she had no intention of leaving Xu Xing's legs.

Xu Xing patted her butt and she got up reluctantly.

Director Chen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth again.

Xu Xing was also helpless and didn't know what he was trying to do.

Teacher Tong didn't sit very well in Xu Xing's arms just now, and it was very difficult for Xu Xing to control herself.

But then we did talk about "Detective Chinatown".

Director Chen directly changed the topic to "Detective Chinatown 4". He had already decided that "Detective Chinatown 4" would go to the UK. He casually talked about it for a few words and then changed the topic to the "Detective Chinatown 2" web drama. He also just skimmed the surface of the topic.

Then Director Chen said goodbye.

Teacher Tong also stood up and said goodbye, but she just put her arms around Xu Xing's chest and let Xu Xing hold her in his arms.

At the moment of closing the door, Teacher Tong hooked Xu Xing's neck hard, causing a loud noise to hit the door panel, and the sound continued.

There was no time to look through the peephole to see when the person outside left.

Until the end, in front of the mirror, Xu Xing grabbed Teacher Tong's long hair. Teacher Tong, who couldn't help but look up, murmured when Xu Xing asked her.

"Maybe, he said that some things must be faced~"

In fact, it was a great experience, but Xu Xing still felt a little bit of pain as if he was a tool.

Teacher Tong is really crazy when she gets angry... She also said that if he dares to come to her house to provoke her next time, she will definitely change into a skirt with a big skirt...

Xu Xing thought it seemed quite exciting, so he didn't try to persuade her.

Oh, what a bad taste!

Teacher Tong is really good at making Xu Xing have a great time all by himself.

I woke up very late the next day.

After getting up, Xu Xing, who was yawning and helping Teacher Tong tidy up her long hair, saw the message from Sun Man on WeChat.

【BTS's new single is scheduled for September 9th. 】
