Abstract Art Award Winner

Chapter 171 Damn Succubus!
Time is almost here and it is February.

Originally, everyone agreed that Zhou and Le would take turns promoting the event during the last three days.

But the specific date was not specified at that time.

Therefore, on February 1st, they talked about this matter again in the group.

Later, it was Guo Fan who initiated the video call again.

I don’t know what was said.

In the end, Zhou Le was allowed to attend Guo Fan's premiere, and then through a video link, Zhou Le was allowed to greet the two movies through the big screen in the cinema.

And the last roadshow was also held by Guo Fan.

"Director Guo, how did you convince them?"

"Use reason to persuade and move the heart."

"What about it?"

"I showed them the balance on my bank card."

Zhou Le thought this was indeed a good idea.

But no matter what, in The Wandering Earth, although Wu Jing has a lot of roles, he is a special guest in the cast list, so Zhou Le is still the male lead.

But, recently during the Chinese New Year period.

Weibo Movie Night is also conducting voting and ranking.

Su Yingxia found Zhou Le that day and said, "Brother Le, you've been invited to Weibo Night again this year, and your name is on the list.

Xiao Zhan’s fans suddenly pulled out the video of the Tencent Starlight Awards for some unknown reason.

The first one is the video of you hugging him, saying that you bullied him.

The second one was when Wang Junkai and Wang Jinsong were talking to him.”

Zhou Le: "Can you take this out?"

"Yeah, they said no one wants to talk to you."

Zhou Le: “.”

"Let them be. These people are just looking for trouble. I guess the Weibo awards this year have nothing to do with Xiao Zhan. But your habit of leaving things unsaid is not good."

Su Yingxia chuckled twice: "As expected, nothing can be hidden from you. I think they want to send Xiao Zhan up this year, but those two videos were released not long ago.

TF's fans released the full video, so now everyone knows that Wang Junkai stepped over Xiao Zhan to chat with you, and that you were also sitting at the first table during the dinner after the Starlight Awards.

"Wouldn't they be so anxious that they die?"

"Yeah, now his fans are arguing with TF, and they're getting beaten to a pulp."

Zhou Le nodded.

Now Wang Junkai and his fans are still very strong.

“So, this time I...”

"You're getting an award on Weibo this time: Weibo's Most Popular Artist of the Year."

“So generous?”

"Yeah, especially in the second half of this year, you've been on trending searches way too many times. And Brother Le, haven't you checked Weibo in a while?"

"Well, I just post stuff lately, and I haven't really seen anything else."

"No wonder your fans lifted you up again this year, voting you directly into the top three. Logically speaking, you could have gotten better, but after all, you had some issues with Weibo before.

And those impressive awards all have big companies behind them. For this year's Person of the Year, Li Yifeng is backed by Bona, Dilraba is backed by Yang Mi, and even the Male God of the Year is backed by Bona, Dongyang Huanyu, and Huace.

"Okay, but Naza and Reba."

"They have some too."

"Okay, I'll go get some food then."

This year, Zhou Le still spent the New Year at Yu Qian's house. After all, this was his only home.

Zhou Le felt that if he didn’t get the Best Actor system, a gaming system would also be nice.

Someone like me is simply invincible in the game.

It is impossible to be selected at all.

It was only on the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year that the premiere of The Wandering Earth officially began.

All the main actors were present, and the original author Liu Cixin was also present.

Even Wu Jing's son came.

Guo Fan was very nervous.

After working so hard for so long, it’s finally the last step.

In comparison, Wu Jing and Zhou Le just came along for fun.

During the subsequent conversation, Guo Fan also talked about how difficult it was to make this movie, and said frankly that many people were deceived.

"Not only did they not ask for remuneration, they even invested a lot in the end. Brother Jing almost took out all his family savings, and Zhou Le even emptied it out. In the end, in order to make up for the funds for making the movie, they went out to take jobs everywhere, doing dubbing, and working in other crews to exchange props for their team. It can be said that the people I am most grateful to for this film are Brother Jing, Zhou Le and my producer Gong Geer."

Afterwards, the video of the premiere was also posted online.

Liu Du Hong Chen: "Wow, this Guo Fan, did he drug someone? He just starts with a mouth, and the whole movie is a lie? I didn't expect that even the photographer could be fooled into investing over a million dollars in equipment."

Xiao Zhi: "I was wondering why Brother Le was so poor, he was always eating free meals everywhere. It turns out he invested all his money in movies."

Force 8 Gale: "Brother Le, look at me. I have money. I got another 3,500 this month and I can't spend it all. As long as you are willing to be with me, all this money will be yours."

Southern Sichuan residents: "I'm dying of laughter. Guo Fan is on top, Zhou Le is on the bottom, and these two people tricked an entire crew into coming."

Dawn: "I was saying those rappers and Xiao Meng could only make guest appearances. Who can handle two succubi like these? If these two were to start a pyramid scheme, who knows how many people would suffer."

As the first group of audiences walked out of the cinema.

Feedback after watching it has also come out.

Past is Gone with the Wind jack: "The visual effects are explosive, the plot is profound, and it is very close to the original work. Even if there are some changes, they are all very reasonable."

The waterworks director said, "I'd bet Zhou Le will be single forever that this movie definitely doesn't have 50-cent special effects, but with an investment of tens of millions, they were able to produce something like this. I can't help but wonder where all the money went for those movies that cost hundreds of millions of dollars in the past."

Coriander and Dog Food: "As expected of Brother Le, it would be great if I could have a brother like him. P.S. I'm a man."

First day of release.

The box office wasn't too strong.

At least that was the case for the early promotion, with the box office reaching 200 million on the first day.

Compared with "Speeding Life" which grossed over 2.6 million on its first day, "Crazy Alien" which grossed over million on its first day, and "The New King of Comedy" which grossed million on its first day, it is not very impressive.

But it is much better than "One Second" and "The Love Master 2" which both grossed million on the first day.

"That's great! We're ranked fourth on the first day. If we keep going at this rate, won't we be able to make back our investment in two days?" Guo Fan also became excited.

After all, even though Zhou Le helped a lot with publicity.

But the first day's screening schedule was only 11.6%.

This movie was not well-received from the beginning. After all, who would be willing to believe in a science fiction film made by someone who had once made a 6-point romance film?

Investors don’t dare.

Even the theater chain doesn’t dare to do that.

Even Zhou Le went to dinner because of Wu Jing's consideration.

Later, companies such as Tencent invested, partly because of Zhou Le's performance, and partly to cast a wide net and focus on catching fish.

But in comparison, they prefer to put resources into mature films and directors.

This is how the film market works. Priority is given to those with potential. The number of screenings will continue to decrease as the data gap increases. In the end, the number of winners can even reach forty or fifty.

But the current box office of The Wandering Earth is something many people did not expect.

Just like that, the next day, The Wandering Earth directly counterattacked and rose to third place with a box office of 4.4 million yuan.

On the third day came the second.

On the fourth day, I reached the first place directly.

The theater chain urgently revised the screening schedule, and now everyone can see that The Wandering Earth is about to rise.

At the same time, various topics emerged like mushrooms after rain.

Director Guo Fan, actors Wu Jing and Zhou Le have been dominating the hot searches for consecutive days.

Poor.

The frequency of entries such as "counterattack" and "the rise of Chinese science fiction" began to soar.

Previously, the value of Zhou Lefa’s Weibo posts began to gradually increase.

Attitude: "I laughed my ass off. Now I understand why I was so humble and begged everyone to watch this movie. It turns out this movie is really good."

Soon after, those who had made cameo appearances in the movie announced that they had booked the entire theater and even posted their ticket stubs.

Most of them are Zhou Le’s connections.

Although the quality is slightly lower and cannot compare with Wu Jing's side, at least they have the advantage in numbers.

The rap circle is mainly based in Sichuan, Xinjiang and Hunan.

An actor circle mainly composed of Tangren, Jiaxing, and Dongyang Huanyu.

A circle of directors mainly composed of Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Wen Muye, Dapeng, etc.

There is also the crosstalk circle centered around Deyun Club.

As well as the circle of internet celebrities centered around Wang Sicong, which includes many entertainment anchors, game anchors, etc.

One by one, they announced their support for booking the entire theater.

Although he openly said that he supported Chinese science fiction, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was actually supporting Zhou Le.

Han Han was also jealous.

But at least now I am third in Fei Chi Life.

Moreover, due to Zhou Le's popularity, the box office growth of "Speeding Life" was much faster than expected.

Until the seventh day of the New Year.

Zhou Le came to the crew of Joy of Life, and the total box office of The Wandering Earth has reached nearly 3 billion.

Just seven days.

An average of more than 400 million per day.

"Le'er, congratulations. It's a big hit at the box office. I think it's time for you to pack up and get ready for a promotion." Nazha was the first to send her congratulations.

"Congratulations, Teacher Zhou. This time I persuaded all the artists in our company to book out the entire theater to show their support. How do you plan to thank me?" This is Dilraba Dilmurat.

"Little broken ball is awesome (broken voice)"

Yu Shuxin, Meng Ziyi and Zhou Ye kept discussing in the group.

To celebrate, they even posted hundreds of thousands of messages on Weibo.

At the same time, although the two universities that participated in the Wandering Earth project did not make much money, they all went to the cinema to show their support.

Then I tell my girlfriend, classmates, family and friends which special effects of the shots were made by myself.

During these few days.

Zhou Le, Guo Fan and Wu Jing also accepted many interviews.

As frivolous as they are in publicity, they are as sanctimonious in interviews.

The three of them spoke more officially than the other.

The answer is to support Chinese science fiction.

The main theme is to generate electricity for love.

"After saying so much, I almost thought I was such a person." Zhou Le glanced at the system calmly. The number was about to break ten thousand.

"Who said it wasn't? I even blushed when I said those things. If Director Guo hadn't begged me, lied to me, and tried to get me to come, I definitely wouldn't have taken him there." Wu Jing also sighed.

"It's not that bad, it's all fate."

Guo Fan said, "But we're definitely going to make money this time. I predict the box office will be over 40. By then, Le'er, you and Brother Jing will each make around two."

Wu Jing had anticipated this.

But Zhou Le was shocked.

"Take, how much?"

"A little over 18 million, I calculated. Based on the final box office of , your investment ratios are about %. Brother Jing invested directly, and Le'er also invested some miscellaneous shares. In the end, it's actually about the same."

Everyone in Zhou Le was stunned.

"Brother, your money is now measured in billions?"

"I rely on!"

"Mom and Dad, have you seen this? Our son has made it big! He's really rich now!"

Zhou Le's eyes were filled with tears.

"What's wrong, Le'er? Why are you crying?"

Zhou Le let the tears flow down: "I have never seen so much money. I never dared to dream of so much before."

Wu Jing patted Zhou Le on the back and said, "It's normal. But once you make money, you should spend it. That's how money works."

Guo Fan nodded in agreement.

"Brother Jing is right. Money has to be spent. Have you figured out how to spend it?"

Zhou Le sniffed: "I want to buy a suite."

Guo Fan: "That's great. Everyone should have a house of their own. But I suggest you wait a little longer. House prices have just started to fall, and they will definitely continue to fall. But besides buying a house, how do you plan to spend the rest of your money?"

Zhou Le shook his head: "It's like a dream. I haven't figured out the money for the rest of the year yet."

Guo Fan showed a relieved expression.

"You haven't thought about it yet. That's okay. I've thought about it for you."

Zhou Le's tears stopped when he heard this: "???"

He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Now the first part has been filmed, and I have almost finished the script for the second part. With the experience of the first part, I am more confident about the second part. I will start preparing in the second half of this year and start filming in the spring of next year. If you really don't know how to spend your money, you can leave it with me. I guarantee that every penny will be spent wisely."

Zhou Le: “???!”

"Guo Fan, are you still human?"

At this moment, he suddenly didn't want to cry.

This guy surnamed Guo is simply born!

"Don't even think about taking a penny from my pocket. It's all mine!"

Guo Fan laughed heartily, "Brother Le, don't be so heartless. We worked so well together before. Don't you have any confidence in the second part?"

"With the money, we can hire more big names for the second film and do better special effects."

Zhou Le: "Are you willing to pay them high salaries?"

Guo Fan shook his head: "Of course I'm reluctant. This money is not for them to spend, but for them to see."

"Don't even think about it!"

"I want to live my whole life with my 200 million!"

Zhou Le had never really received so much money, but investing is risky, and only keeping it in one's own hands can make people feel at ease.

"Brother Le, seriously, you're the ones I trust the most. Besides, isn't Yu Shuxin going to be the leading actress in the next movie? Just think of it as an investment in your company's artists."

"That won't work either. The most I can give you is 50 million. Is that enough to bring in capital to join the group?"

Guo Fan shook his head: "No need for that. Even if you don't pay me, I have to use her. After all, we have already agreed on this. I just think our relationship shouldn't be so distant."

But Zhou Le still has the mentality of a loser.

He suddenly didn't want to gamble anymore.

But in the end, Zhou Le still agreed that if there could be a dividend of more than 200 million, he would invest an integer amount.

Keep the remaining money for yourself.

Because after Zhou Le joined the crew of Joy of Life, Guo Fan didn't know whose connections he used, but he actually sneaked into the crew and became an art consultant.

All he does all day is serve tea and water to Zhou Le.

Keep lobbying.

Finally, he said that he could sign a contract, and if the investment could not be recovered, he would pay double compensation.

Finally, Zhou Le compromised.

The very next day after Zhou Le agreed, Guo Fan resigned from the crew. According to him, the next step was to empty Wu Jing's pocket.
