My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1007 Box Office Twelve
It's approaching evening.

The sky was bright and sunny in the morning, but by this time it had become somewhat gloomy.

Summer is like that; the weather changes as quickly as a child's mood. In the China World Mall, the creators of "Goodbye Mr. Loser" are holding a promotional event.

Charlotte

"Qiuya, Qiuya"

When the actors took the stage, cheers erupted from the audience, including the actors themselves. Zhang You's question had indeed sparked discussion among the audience, so much so that Zhang Yi, who played the second female lead in "Goodbye Mr. Loser," still garnered considerable attention despite portraying an unlikable character like Qiu Ya.

now.

Many male viewers shouted the name of the character she played.

Some people called out "Xu Qingya". As the actress who played Meng Tejiao, Xu Qingya successfully transitioned from a professional singer to an actress with this work.

The main reason is that this woman is playing herself, and she's also beautiful, unlike the original who was a bit disgusting.

Xu Qingya didn't deliberately pretend to be a transgender person. She played the role very seriously, so not only was she not disgusting, but she also portrayed... the ideal image of a transgender person in the audience's mind.

"Zhang You, when are you going to have a concert!?"

A moviegoer standing on the upper level of the mall, looking down, suddenly shouted and asked a question.

There are no plans in that regard at the moment.

Zhang You raised the microphone and replied with a smile.

The box office growth of "Goodbye Mr. Loser" did not disappoint him; it grossed 200 million yuan in just three days.

This is still under the condition of a low screening rate. If the publicity is in place and the theaters adjust the screening rate, then this movie will have a real breakthrough.

Zhang You predicts that the total box office will exceed 1.2 billion worldwide without any problem, mainly due to the effective pre-release publicity after he copied the film, and... the contrast with its competitors.

The key is the latter, it's really too important. He looked at the ratings of other movies in the past few days, and they were only slightly better than last month. Even "The Great Swordsman", which had the highest demand, was suddenly cut in half after reaping high box office revenue for two days. The speed was as fast as a tornado, giving people no time to react.

This also highlights that moviegoers nowadays don't tolerate directors and actors. They might be initially drawn to the theater by the cast, director, and subject matter, but once they see that it's a piece of crap, they immediately start cursing.

Not only did they post a review, but they also gave it a one-star rating, causing the box office to plummet on the third day of release. And what followed was the worst: the film's screening rate was ridiculously high, especially during prime time. The situation is now clear.

Even if the production company has strong connections, it cannot reverse the downward trend that has already begun, because theaters also need to make money and cannot continue to give this film such a high screening rate, so adjustments are inevitable.

Which movie will get a higher screen time?
The romance film "Chasing the Wind," starring young actresses and actors, performed poorly at the box office and received low ratings. The rest of the films fared even worse. However, the three animated films adapted from cartoons performed relatively steadily and will likely receive a slight increase in screenings. The remaining screenings will definitely be given to "Goodbye Mr. Loser."

High reputation, high rating.

With its decent number of screenings, "Goodbye Mr. Loser" could very well become the box office champion of this summer.

It's not that "Goodbye Mr. Loser" is particularly good; it's mainly because of the contrast with its competitors.

"Can't we hold a few more games?!"

The fan pressed for an answer.

My wife is about to give birth.

Zhang You replied with a smile, "After I finish the promotional tour, I'll go home to be with my wife."

A burst of laughter came from the mall. Zhang Yi turned her head and glanced at Zhang You, but didn't say anything. Others might not know, but she knew that Zhang You wasn't with her best friend Jiang Yiren at all; instead, he was at home fishing.

Only when "Goodbye Mr. Loser" was released did he, as an investor and screenwriter, have to follow the film crew to promote it; otherwise, he would have disappeared long ago.

"Director Li, 'Goodbye Mr. Loser' has grossed over 200 million yuan in just three days. Do you want to tell everyone about it?"

the host asked.

"Thank you everyone," Director Li said with a smile. "I was a little nervous when this movie was first released, but seeing how much everyone likes it, I'm completely relieved. I hope everyone will feel good after watching this movie."

This is also the promotional strategy of "Goodbye Mr. Loser"—to promote it as a comedy. If they had used other aspects as a promotional breakthrough, it might have aroused the audience's resentment.

As for how moviegoers feel after watching it, that's their own business. Anyway, the production team can't go too deep into it because young people in today's society are under too much pressure. They finally have a comedy to watch, but instead they get lectured... who can stand that?

"Zhang Yi, your outfit is beautiful."

A female fan looked at Zhang Yi on stage and praised him.

"Thank you"

Zhang Yi quickly expressed his gratitude.

She didn't dress up much when she went out today; she just wore light makeup, distressed jeans, and a loose black crew neck T-shirt.

So it's definitely not because she's good at dressing, but mainly because her figure is very suitable for this style of clothing.

"Shen Jiaming, if you had to choose between Qiuya and Ma Dongmei, who would you choose?!"

A female fan looked at Shen Jiaming and asked him this question.

"He asked me a question that was very difficult for me to answer."

Shen Jiaming gave a wry smile and said, "I've seen everyone's choices these past two days, and how should I put it? Each has its own advantages..."

As he spoke, Shen Jiaming pointed to Zhang Yi standing next to Li Li and said, "If you were a man, what would you choose?! Okay, let's say you have to choose between me and Mr. Zhang You, who would you choose?! Let me tell you my strengths and weaknesses first. I'm definitely not as handsome or talented as Mr. Zhang You, nor am I as perfect as him, but besides those things, I cook better than him, and I do housework at home. I should be considered a man who follows his wife's lead."

I choose Zhang You.

The female fan shouted without hesitation.

"Should we do this?!"

Shen Jiaming pretended to be angry.

Another burst of laughter followed, then Shen Jiaming picked up the microphone and addressed the crowd, saying, "Please support 'Goodbye Mr. Loser.' Trust me, this movie won't disappoint you."

The roadshow continued for a while, until it was almost over, when the host asked the audience, "You can ask the production team a question, such as asking Mr. Zhang You to sing a song. Of course, Xu Qingya and Zhang Yi are both welcome to participate; Zhang Yi has even won Best Female Singer."

Zhang You

"Zhang You Zhang You Sings"

This time, the audience's opinions were surprisingly unanimous.

"Since there's no accompaniment here, I'll sing a few lines!"

After Zhang You finished speaking, he picked up the microphone and began to sing a cappella, saying, "The longing I want to give you is like a kite with a broken string, unable to fly into your world, nor warm your eyes. I can already see a tragedy unfolding, and there is no joy at the end..."

"I still hide in your dreams, and in those fleeting moments I understand that the words I spoke will never come true..."

Zhang Yi stared in astonishment at the scene before her.

After Zhang You sang a few lines, fans gradually started singing along in the mall, and then the number of people increased until it turned into a chorus. She knew that Zhang You's "Goodbye Kiss" was selling very well.

But I never expected it to spread so widely.

Xu Qingya was also a little surprised. She was out with the film crew doing promotional tours, but it turned into her cheap older brother's personal show at the Guomao Shopping Mall.

This influence and appeal are ridiculously strong.
