Chapter 550 Opening Day Box Office, Operation Red Sea

[The Vanished Woman, a suspenseful and thrilling revenge film that leaves you breathless and deeply disturbed: the director's precise control and the actors' brilliant performances deliver a chilling and thought-provoking movie. It's been a long time since I've seen such a pure and enjoyable domestic suspense film. Qi Hui's starring role certainly doesn't disappoint, but I hope that after watching it, you won't take your anger out on the actors.]

[Gao Yuanyuan's performance was astonishing. She had previously been known only as a pretty face, but in "The Vanished She," she portrayed the gentle yet terrifying fake Li Muzi, captivating the audience. She skillfully showcased the duality of the character, making it difficult to discern whether she was a femme fatale in disguise or a gentle wife harboring a venomous heart. Another stunning actress was Chen Duling; her beauty was breathtaking, and seeing her die was truly heart-wrenching.]

In the film "The Vanished," Jing Tian successfully portrays a vengeful character with a cool and aloof demeanor and profound emotions. The natural switching between these two identities, while investigating a wife's murder case, showcases both the strength of a lawyer and the suppressed pain of losing her best friend. The interplay of these conflicting emotions creates a compelling and compelling performance. She has gradually shed the image of a "queen of bad movies" and a "resource-backed actress" from a few years ago.

Li Muzi is the unfortunate Shen Man, and Shen Man is the fortunate Li Muzi; two girls, two sides of the same coin.

【…】

On the sofa, Qi Hui lay half-reclined, browsing film reviews written by film critics.

Most film critics provided their reviews without giving away spoilers, and they were all quite fair.

"Not bad..." Qi Hui thought to himself, then opened forums, online communities, and Weibo to see the feedback from movie fans.

It's been a whole day now, so the fans' feedback should be coming out by now.

"Damn it, who the hell said this was a sweet romantic movie? I was stupid enough to take my partner to see it, what a load of crap!"

Upon seeing the first top comment, Qi Hui almost burst out laughing.

"Haha, and then what?"

"It's alright. They didn't break up immediately. They've calmed down and that should be enough."

"This movie really sent chills down my spine!"

"Gamblers deserve to die a horrible death! I really want to shoot He Fei!"

"Damn it, when I was watching the movie, I actually thought that gambling addict was a good guy at first? I actually believed that he really reformed, damn it!"

“Brother upstairs, you are not alone!”

"Yes, me too!"

"Damn it, I got ripped off so badly, I'm so furious!"

"When the movie started, I guessed it might be a story of a husband killing his wife and his best friend seeking revenge, but why did that gambling addict fool everyone!"

"If he hadn't broken down and exposed himself later, I might have actually believed it!"

"Later on, he even tried to lie and beg Jing Tian to let him go!"

"Damn gambler!"

"..."

"Hehehe..." Qi Hui chuckled strangely as he looked at the comments, a satisfied expression on his face.

This is exactly the effect he wants!
"How are the reviews for the movie?" Jing Tian asked curiously as she walked over carrying a few pieces of clothing.

Actually, there's no need to ask; you can tell from Qi Hui's expression that it's pretty much the case.

"Not bad." Qi Hui looked up and smiled. "All the positive reviews I've seen so far are positive."

Jing Tian smiled, holding her clothes in one hand and placing the other on her hip: "I wonder how the box office will be? Will it surpass 'Mojin: The Lost Legend'?"

"This... probably won't work." Qi Hui spread his hands. "Mojin: The Lost Legend" was a special effects blockbuster with an investment of 200 million yuan.

"The Vanished" is good, but it still falls short compared to blockbuster special effects films that don't make mistakes.

“Okay… I’m going to do the laundry now, you can take your clothes off too.” Jing Tian brought up another matter.

"Me?" Qi Hui asked in surprise, "I just put on these clothes."

"What?" Jing Tian said irritably, "I took a shower and changed my clothes yesterday."

"Hurry up, no slacking off, no unhygienic behavior!" she urged.

Helpless, Qi Hui had no choice but to take off his clothes and pants.

However, as soon as she finished taking off her clothes, Jing Tian put down the clothes in her hands, picked up the remote control, and drew the electric curtains.

"..." Qi Hui's heart sank, and he secretly thought that something was wrong.

"Hehehe~" Jing Tian chuckled and snuggled up to Qi Hui, "Are you taking off your clothes to sleep so early today?"

As she spoke, she put her hair up and handed Qi Hui some face wash.

Qi Hui: “…”

Great!
……

The next day

After washing up, Jing Tian set off with light steps towards the rising sun, beginning the roadshow for "The Vanished Her" led by Xiao Yang. (Airport VIP Lounge)

Xiao Yang, Gao Yuanyuan, and Chen Duling have been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing Jing Tian, ​​who was full of energy and vitality, Chen Duling took a look at her and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Jing Tian, ​​how do you maintain such great skin?"

Jing Tian looks amazing; her skin is delicate and radiant, fair with a rosy glow, and so tender it looks like you could squeeze water out of it.

Not only is her skin good, but her complexion is also very good.

She looks younger and prettier than she, a college student.

Upon hearing Chen Duling's question, Gao Yuanyuan glanced at her but remained silent, offering no comment.

She was older than Chen Duling, so she could easily tell what was going on with Jing Tian.

"They're living such a comfortable life..." Gao Yuanyuan looked away; she wasn't envious at all.

"Really?" Jing Tian wiped her face, unable to suppress her smile. "I used quite a lot of skincare products this morning..."

As he spoke, he began to introduce her to Chen Duling.

Girls have endless things to talk about when it comes to cosmetics and skincare products.

Soon, Wu Jing, the last person, arrived, and the five of them boarded the plane to begin their official roadshow.

……

villa
Qi Hui slowly got out of bed and skillfully brewed himself a cup of goji berry tea.

While washing up, I waited, and by the time I finished washing up, the goji berries were almost ready.

After washing up, Qi Hui drank tea while checking box office data on his phone.

I was busy all night and didn't have time to check.

Soon, the relevant data appeared on the phone screen: the box office on the first day was 1.34 million!
"Huh?" Qi Hui sat up straight abruptly, a look of surprise on his face. The opening day box office was even higher than "Wolf Warrior"!
"Not bad..." Qi Hui nodded in satisfaction, a smile appearing on his face.

Its opening day box office was higher than "Wolf Warrior," while the total investment in "The Vanished" was lower than that of "Wolf Warrior"...

Oh, not really.

A glint flashed in Qi Hui's eyes. The original investment for "The Vanished She" was 60 million, but Qi Hui later added another 20 million for publicity.

In total, it's about the same as "Wolf Warrior".

"It should be able to surpass the box office of 'Wolf Warrior'..." Qi Hui stroked his chin and pondered to himself.

I just don't know if it can reach the 2 billion yuan box office mark.

With this thought in mind, Qi Hui dialed his assistant's number and asked her to contact Douyu's official channels and ask them to arrange a live stream.

There's nothing else to it; Qi Hui just wants to continue promoting "The Vanished Her" through live streaming.

Jing Tian and Gao Yuanyuan are doing promotional tours, so he can't just stay at home doing nothing, can he?
As for whether Shark Live will agree... Qi Hui had seen all of their previous little tricks.

They have no reason to refuse this kind of attention and traffic that comes knocking on their door.

"Okay, I'll contact them right away!" the assistant nodded repeatedly.

Once all that's done, the goji berry tea is almost ready.

"Snoring~~ Hiss—Ah!"

As Qi Hui sipped his hot tea, he pondered what to do next.

He thought of "Wolf Warrior," which he had been comparing the two films, and he thought of "Wolf Warrior 2," which Wu Jing was creating a new folder for.

I was also reminded of the film "Operation Mekong" that Bernard was working on.

A patriotic military film would be a good choice… Qi Hui’s eyes flashed with a sharp light as he confirmed a promising idea:

Operation Red Sea!
What a coincidence! This Mr. Qi acted in "Fire Blue Blade".

I got to know Tang Jing, a division-level cadre in the Navy Political Department, and the brigade commander of the Marine Corps... cough cough, let's not mention the brigade commander.

In short, "Operation Red Sea" was good; I'll choose it for my next movie.

That would be perfect, as it could also be used to reverse the gambling addict image of "The Vanished Woman".
