Chapter 512 No Impact (14)

Yan felt insulted!
No, even though he's a pervert, he still has taste...

Qin Hailu…

Great personality, highly qualified…

In fact, a highly experienced person who tries to manipulate others into speaking on her behalf through sarcastic remarks is very difficult to deal with.

Qin Hailu... she would never do that; she always speaks her mind.

If you don't understand anything, just ask...

Sometimes filming would take several hours, and she would patiently wait on the sidelines...

As an actor, he is indeed a great collaborator...

But that only applies to personality!

If you're talking about looks...

She's widely considered the ugliest student in the Central Academy of Drama's 96 class...

No matter what, Yan Ge is still a womanizer!
"I'm worried that if I go to the movies with you alone, rumors will spread!"

“…It’s not that bad,” Shen Yan couldn’t help but say, “Entertainment reporters also have their bottom line…”

"...You're overthinking it. They have absolutely no bottom line..." Qin Hailu rolled his eyes. "Even if it were you and me, we'd still have rumors about each other..."

"No, what kind of rumors could possibly circulate between us?"

"They'll say I'm skilled!"

"...I'll immediately notify the producer and have him contact the cinemas...Our crew has over 600 permanent staff members...just enough to fill one cinema!"

Shen Yan changed the subject and turned to leave…

These older women keep spouting vulgar and offensive language, and Shen Yan is finding it hard to handle!
By the way, Qin Hailu wasn't the only older woman in the cast; Yan Danchen also appeared, playing a spokesperson for the space agency—I think she's an actress under China Film Group Corporation…

Its full name is the China Film Group Art Creation Center…

The Martian needed a lot of actors, but apart from the main cast, most of the actors didn't have many scenes, and Shen Yan didn't really care, so he just let it go.

……

The producer of "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" is Fruit Chan!

It was also through his recommendation that Zhao Youting landed the role of Di Renjie…

As for Xu Ke praising him as "like an intellectual, and his appearance is exactly like my image of Di Renjie!" and "I want to see what Zhao Youting looks like in period costume!"

It's all bullshit!

Does Shen Yan not have the appearance of an intellectual?

Okay... that's a bit too harsh on him. These days, Hong Kong/Taiwanese male stars plus mainland Chinese female stars are the standard setup for co-productions...

Many people know that later co-productions were mostly star-studded casts of Hong Kong actors. In fact, they did try to promote younger actors; Shawn Yue and Tse Ting-fung were both heavily supported. Yue starred in films like *Motorway*, *Girls*, and *The Guillotines*, while Tse appeared in *As the Light Goes Out*, *But Always*, and *Shock Wave*.

It's just not a box office hit!

Mainland audiences are still more willing to accept the lineup of the "Link-Link" game...

Zhao Youting has indeed had a very smooth run, with films like "Caught in the Web," "So Young," "Detective Dee," and later "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" all going incredibly well... Compared to him, Wen Zhang can only be considered steady and reliable at best!

Oh, "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" grossed 4100 million yuan on its opening day, received a 6.8 rating on Douban, and was accompanied by a ton of praising marketing articles, such as "rave reviews!", "realistic 3D effects!", and "the lifelike Dragon King and sea monsters have thrilled discerning media reporters and industry insiders, who are cheering that Chinese-language films finally have decent monsters!"

In short, it seems to be a miracle work to save the market.

However, looking at the daily box office figures—"Goodbye Mr. Loser" grossed 6200 million yuan on the 28th…

Box office surpassed 100 million in just two days!
That's right, "Goodbye Mr. Loser" beat "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" in terms of box office... for now, the difference isn't that big!
Furthermore, many industry insiders believe that "Charlotte's theme is too vulgar and its values ​​are skewed..." and even call it "a film of lowbrow fantasies!"

Of course, this time Shen Yan didn't even need to speak; a bunch of influential figures had already retorted: "I'm truly speechless. Some people are like prostitutes when the lights are off, and hypocrites who want to maintain a virtuous image after pulling up their pants... Trying to establish moral values ​​in a comedy movie? It's one thing for you to live a stressful life, but can you please stop harming people? Does a movie need so many functions? Watching a comedy to relax, why insist on establishing lofty moral values? That's just too idiotic."

"They don't tell stories, they don't talk about creativity, they don't talk about acting, they don't talk about the viewing experience. They strip down to their core values ​​right from the start, and put on the face of an 'art theory expert' and a 'special commentator' to teach the masses what is right and what is wrong."

"Damn it, tell me what values ​​'The Hangover' has?"

"No, how did you guys figure out it was wishful thinking? I watched it twice, and the director didn't spend a single shot or line praising Xia Luo. Instead, he did everything he could to ridicule him and constantly embarrass him, making him realize his cowardice and selfishness, showing him that despite his worldly success, he was still a useless and incompetent person at heart..."

Shen Yan also posted a Weibo: "I think Xia Luo is really pathetic. He doesn't even dare to dream big. He's already a big star, and he still marries Qiu Ya! If I could be reborn, I would definitely marry the most beautiful female star, and then invest in Tencent, Alibaba, and Xiaomi... and then enjoy life for the rest of my life! What about you guys?"

Shen Yan's fans immediately commented: "If I could be reborn, I would first make money, start a film and television company, and invest in Brother Yan's works to make him an international superstar!"

"Me too, I'm determined to make Brother Yan an international superstar!"

Shen Yan couldn't help but reply, "Why don't you just give me the money directly?"

"Doesn't Brother Yan want to become an international superstar?"

"...Whether you want to or not is one thing, but you've been reborn and are making money, so why don't you date me? Think bigger!"

This Weibo post quickly became a trending topic. The promotional team for "Goodbye Mr. Loser" joined forces with Sina Weibo to start a discussion: If you were reborn in 97, what would you do?
……

On September 29th, "Goodbye Mr. Loser" grossed 71 million yuan in a single day, more than doubling the box office of "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon"...

On September 30th, "Goodbye Mr. Loser" grossed over 80 million yuan in a single day, three times more than "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon," whose daily box office had already slipped to around 24 million yuan...

Before October arrived, "Goodbye Mr. Loser" grossed 250 million yuan in its first four days of release.

Even so, people still have doubts about whether "Goodbye Mr. Loser" will surpass "American Dreams in China" with 16.5 billion yuan in box office revenue.

After all, the box office performance of "American Dreams in China" was phenomenal—4.04 million yuan in three days, over 900 million yuan in seven days, and over 1 billion yuan in nine days…

While "Goodbye Mr. Loser" has gained momentum at the box office, its performance is clearly not as strong as that of "American Dreams in China"...

Could it be that Shen Yan has misjudged the situation this time?
Then, from October 1st to October 4th, for four consecutive days, "Goodbye Mr. Loser" grossed over 100 million yuan per day, and even set a new record of 160 million yuan in a single day in the mainland Chinese film market…

They are 1.07 million, 1.2 million, 1.32 million, and 1.61 million respectively!
As of October 5th, "Goodbye Mr. Loser" had grossed 770 million yuan in its first eight days of release…

They seem unstoppable!

However, on October 5th, the Hollywood blockbuster *The Lone Ranger* was released; on October 10th, *I Want to Be With You* was released; and on October 17th, *The Wolverine 2* was released…

It will definitely take away some of the screening space...

Then, on October 5th, "Goodbye Mr. Loser" grossed 1.47 million yuan in a single day!
Although the number of screenings dropped from 47% to 39% and the daily box office also declined, the impact was not too great, and it still firmly occupied the top tier.

The film most affected was actually *Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon*. *Goodbye Mr. Loser* dominated the charts, and while *Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon* earned less than 2000 million yuan in a single day, it firmly held its place in the second tier. According to theater predictions, *Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon*'s final box office should be around 3 million yuan. After its release, *The Lone Ranger* took 19% of the screenings, taking away 8% of *Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon*'s screenings, and its daily box office also plummeted by more than 800 million yuan, remaining at around 1000 million yuan…

Now, Huayi Brothers was a bit dumbfounded—the cost of "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" was a solid 1.5 million yuan, and underwater 3D shooting, special effects production and set construction all required a lot of money!
Are we going to suffer losses again?
