Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 382 Two Weeks, 4.47 Million (44)

Brother Yan isn't made of iron...

He's been working non-stop these past few days and is very tired.

In reality, roadshows have limited impact on a film's box office performance.

Most cinema managers are driven by money, not by personal relationships.

Either the film is so good that they can't ignore it, or they have to pay a good amount for screenings, then they will give it a lot of screenings.

The same applies to various media outlets; once the money is in place, promotional articles will naturally be published.

Film scheduling and promotion don't necessarily have to take the form of street performances.

But for Shen Yan's fans, roadshows are the most convenient way for them to see their idol!

After all, Yan Ge rarely holds fan meetings, and he won't be holding a concert this year... There's hardly any chance to see him in person.

Incidentally, it also allows for face-to-face interaction with fans…

So he worked very hard…

Show your best self to the audience!
Besides the regular roadshows and promotions, he also takes time each day to do interviews…

After all, you have to rely on the media to publish articles.

Even with such a busy schedule, I haven't forgotten to express my gratitude to Jing Tian...

After all, the funding for this film was provided by Starlight Entertainment.

Well, if Da Tian Tian needs it, I will definitely do my best without hesitation and be there for her!

Shen Yan opened the door, and Jing Tian immediately slipped inside…

There was no unnecessary dialogue; the two understood each other perfectly and unfastened their equipment...

Directly in the living room, on the sofa.

Fragrant grasses grow lush on Parrot Isle; I sit here, hand on my chest, and sigh deeply.

……

"I feel like Dilraba's gaze towards me has been a little strange lately!"

Hearing Tian Tian's words, Shen Yan was speechless: "...She's severely nearsighted, what kind of eyesight does she have?"

"Huh? She's nearsighted?"

"Yes, she wears contact lenses every day!"

"Then why not have surgery?"

"I don't know..." Shen Yan shook his head: "Maybe they feel it's not safe enough?"

“No,” Jing Tian snapped back to reality, “I mean the way she looked at me… it felt like she guessed my relationship with you!”

"...And then?" Shen Yan glanced at her. "So you're going to keep your distance from me?"

"Aren't you worried?"

"...What's there to worry about?"

"What if she tells Shishi?"

"She doesn't even know Shishi... how can I tell her?" After a pause, Shen Yan added, "Besides, she's a contracted artist with our company, so she's practically one of my people..."

Jing Tian breathed a sigh of relief: "...That's good..."

"How did you notice that?"

"Intuition, sixth sense..."

“…” Shen Yan rolled his eyes: “What you’re talking about doesn’t count as evidence…the court won’t even accept it!”

"My intuition is very accurate!"

"Really?" Shen Yan poured two glasses of water. "Then tell me, how much box office do you think 'The Prisoner' will make?"

Jing Tian said earnestly, "Over 6 million!"

Shen Yan couldn't help but retort, "Nonsense, everyone knows it'll definitely surpass 6 million!"

"Yes, the box office forecast is over 6 million, but don't forget, there are still 'The Mechanic,' 'The Silent War,' 'The Bullet Vanishes,' and 'The Lion Roars 2' coming up... What if one of these movies becomes a blockbuster?"

"...You're right!"

Indeed, if any of these four films becomes a blockbuster, it will definitely attract media and cinema attention…

Then it affected "The Prisoner"... Of course, Shen Yan knew very well that these movies coincidentally... collectively went silent!

Including Jason Statham's "The Machinist"...

Jason Statham really has to thank the Fast and Furious franchise, because before that he had been starring in B-movies until 2012!
As an aside, Hollywood B-movies are mainly low- to medium-budget productions, mostly action, suspense, and thriller films. These films don't require particularly high investment and can be easily sold overseas, making them an excellent choice for small and medium-sized companies.

During this period, Jason Statham also appeared in several Hollywood blockbuster films, including *The Italian Job* and *Collateral*, but his roles were not particularly significant…

Starting with "Furious 7", Jason Statham has officially entered the ranks of Hollywood's top action stars, reaching a new peak in his career.

However, he was already 50 at that time!
Then the Meg series and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw proved his appeal...

However, The Mechanic is clearly not up to par.

In the original timeline, this movie grossed over 8000 million...

Later, Jason Statham's popularity soared, and he made "Mechanic 2," but it still didn't sell very well!
……

Dilraba did indeed discover something incredible—she saw Jing Tian enter Shen Yan's room with her own eyes!
Then, they didn't come out for two hours...

A lone man and a lone woman, alone in a room...

Could it be love?
It was definitely fucked!
This had a huge impact on her.

She always thought Shen Yan was a very upright idol.

He is warm-hearted and friendly to everyone...

Most importantly, he has a girlfriend!
He has a girlfriend but is still involved with other women, what a scumbag!

No, that term isn't popular now, and the word "sea king" is even less common. You should say "scoundrel"...

Sigh, after discovering this, her idolized image of Shen Yan shattered completely!
However, she didn't say anything...

I didn't share my thoughts with anyone...

After the release of "The Criminal," the high-density publicity brought corresponding media exposure, and Dilraba's portrayal of Grace also garnered considerable attention.

Of course, it only garnered attention, but it didn't translate into traffic.

But for newcomers, this level of attention is already quite remarkable.

Shen Yan took good care of her—after all, she was a future employee (or rather, a worker).

Not only her, but Zhu Yilong also received a lot of praise from him!

Here Shen Yan is praising them again: "Our movie doesn't have villains or heroes in the traditional sense. They're all students. Maybe only the character played by Brother Long can be considered a villain!"

"We all call him Brother Long. He's very meticulous. He not only analyzed the character's logic and motivations himself, but also helped us with the logical analysis of each character... to make it easier for everyone to understand them..."

"Dilraba is also very dedicated... She's the youngest, but most of the time, she's the one taking care of us..."

All of our actors and crew members put their hearts into making this film!

"We encountered two typhoons and storms during filming... I was initially worried about the filming progress, since the project was slated for a summer release..."

The director remained calm and simply said, "It's auspicious when it encounters water!"

"I hope everyone will not focus on me alone. Filmmaking is a collective creative process involving all the staff and actors!"

Despite this, the main focus of the promotional materials for "The Prisoner" is still Shen Yan...

Even on the posters, he's standing in the center!
Many reviews also say that 'Bank is the biggest victim in the entire movie "The Criminal"!'

Uh, that makes sense...

From Bank's perspective, the whole thing was a disaster!

He reported cheating once, got beaten half to death, lost his chance to study abroad, was forced to join in cheating again, and was expelled, losing all hope of upward mobility...

……

On August 6th, the Chengdu roadshow concluded…

The first round of promotion, which is the end of the film's roadshow.

Everyone felt much more relaxed!
We visited six cinemas today, and it was only 8 p.m. when we finished, so a group of us decided to go out for hot pot!

Oh, by this time, "The Criminal" had been in theaters for two weeks, with a box office of 2.17 million yuan in its second week and 4.47 million yuan in 11 days...

Second only to "Painted Skin 2", it is currently ranked second among Chinese-language films of the year!

Even including imported films, it's only "Titanic," "Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol," "The Avengers," and "Men in Black 3"...

Forget it, let's not include imported films!
