Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Similan Islands: A Dreamy Diving Paradise

【…】

The Thai Embassy in China has started promoting its country's tourist attractions on its Weibo account.

The others look pretty good, but the Similan Islands route is a bit too much to handle.

A diving paradise? A dream trip, my foot!

It has a very romantic feel to it!
Suddenly, netizens' newly diagnosed "underwater starry sky PTSD" has returned!

Jing Tian's song "Cage" is already echoing in my mind!

"Damn, is Thailand doing this on purpose?"

"Hahahaha, who wrote this Weibo post? Isn't this backfiring?"

"This is the first time I've ever seen someone ruin their own reputation."

"I was originally planning to go, but now I really don't dare to go!"

"If someone in our company takes public relations to this level, they should resign."

"An embassy of such high standing wouldn't even conduct a relevant investigation?"

"Hahaha, what was originally a sad thing has suddenly taken on a comedic touch!"

"The world really is a giant makeshift operation!"

"..."

Once the movie is shown, all the cultural and tourism work is for nothing!

"The Vanished Woman" can be considered a "gambling prevention propaganda film" and a "Southeast Asia travel advisory."

Many netizens expressed their firm decision not to travel there.

Amidst the clamor and noise, clips of Wu Jing's tragic experience in a Thai prison from "SPL 2: A Time for Consequences" were cut out and repeatedly recommended.

Various chaotic and dangerous incidents in Thai tourism have been exposed and made into videos that circulate online.

This is a great promotional boost for "The Vanished She".

Almost every video like this will be recommended by the network's intelligent recommendation system to show the promotional video for "The Vanished She".

With this help, the box office of "The Vanished" saw a significant increase in the following two or three days.

However, Thailand is also known for its dangers, chaotic security, and frequent deaths, which are increasingly being mentioned.

Not long after, the shocking murder case from a few years ago was brought up again.

The Thai government's initial strange and ambiguous attitude has been circulating online.

As these events unfolded, news of the start of filming for the movie "Operation Mekong" was also brought up by the media and promoted from time to time.

Riding on the popularity of "The Vanished Woman," the film "Operation Mekong" was quickly linked to it.

When you think of "The Vanished Woman", you'll definitely think of "Operation Mekong".

Bernard leveraged Qi Hui's popularity to achieve a successful film promotion.

Even before filming was completed, "Operation Mekong" had already generated considerable buzz.

However, Qi Hui didn't lose out either.

As the buzz began to build, the box office for "The Vanished" steadily increased.

In less than two days, it defeated "Lost in Hong Kong" and took the top spot in the National Day box office.

From then on, the championship title never changed hands again, firmly held in the hands of "The Vanished She".

Bernard really gave Qi Hui a huge publicity boost this time!
……

Qi Hui's contemporaries were somewhat bewildered by this situation.

Xu Zheng knew that Qi Hui would take his championship title away.

But he never expected that he wouldn't win the championship so quickly!

This left him somewhat bewildered and unable to process it, finding it difficult to accept for a while.

What followed was a wave of disappointment and sadness.

He wanted to give "Lost in Hong Kong" a big promotion and launch a brilliant counterattack.

Even before "Lost in Hong Kong" was released, he had already raised over 100 million HKD from Hong Kong investors through capital operations. He was very wealthy and fully capable of supporting himself in any undertaking.

But faced with the immense popularity of "The Vanished She," he chickened out... no, he gave up.

"I've already made money, why should I work so hard?" Xu Zheng thought to himself righteously.

It's not that he's stingy, it's just that it's completely unnecessary!

On the other hand... compared to Xu Zheng, Guan Hu was having a much harder time!

He promoted Wu Qian and that segment from "Qiang Qiang San Ren Xing" like crazy.

But "The Vanished" was already very popular, and coupled with the outrageous actions of the Thai embassy in China, and Bernard's further promotion of his own film...

This time, it's not just hot, it's practically boiling over a raging fire!
The result is that the entire internet is paying attention to "The Vanished She".

As for Guan Hu's "Mr. Six"...

[Bernard: What just whizzed by?]

[From "The Vanished She": I didn't see it! I thought it was a speed bump!]

……

Compared to Guan Hu's anger and frustration, Tian Xiaopeng of October Culture was all smiles.

Their animated film, *Monkey King: Hero Is Back*, achieved success beyond expectations.

When it was first released, their opening day box office was a paltry 18 million.

It's not even a fraction of the size of "The Vanished Woman".

However, they are animated films, which are not in the same category as other films released during the National Day holiday.

The movie didn't do well when it was first released because there was no money for promotion.

Their crew took turns doing live streams and promoting the show, but the results weren't as good as Qi Hui's.

Fortunately, after its release, "Monkey King: Hero Is Back" received excellent reviews, and its box office revenue gradually increased.

Everything is getting better!

Tian Xiaopeng couldn't resist and started another live stream.

Compared to his previous deserted live streams, his live streams this time have countless more anime enthusiasts.

Several colleagues who are currently working on animated films have also joined the ranks.

His perseverance and his dream were finally realized as the box office of "Monkey King: Hero Is Back" soared.

Tian Xiaopeng then realized that the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, was actually the biggest source of popularity and traffic!

……

the other side

Both being low-budget films, Da Peng's "Jian Bing Man" received less favorable reviews compared to "Monkey King: Hero Is Back"!

Almost all viewers were attracted by the large number of celebrities featured in the pre-release publicity.

After leaving the movie theater, he launched into a tirade of angry insults against Da Peng online.

Although "The Vanished She" sparked widespread discussion online, netizens didn't mind criticizing "Jianbing Man" while discussing "The Vanished She".

This made Da Peng extremely frustrated. If the reviews were bad but the box office was high, then he could just ignore the criticism.

However, "The Vanished" dominated the trending topics, while the second, third, and fourth-tier stars in "Jianbing Man" failed to attract any attention.

His films have seen a very slow increase in box office revenue.

"This is a good thing, at least not so many people are cursing me..." Da Peng smiled bitterly, trying to find humor in the midst of hardship.

Da Peng took out his phone and habitually checked today's box office data.

Soon, he saw a number that shocked him: 8.59 million yuan in box office revenue in the first week!
"Holy crap? Am I that powerful?" Da Peng jumped up.

But upon closer inspection, it turned out to be "The Vanished She".

"Damn...that's awesome!" Even though he realized it wasn't his own, Da Peng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

This data is only surpassed by the Hollywood blockbuster "Avengers: Age of Ultron" from a few months ago.

"Looks like it's going to be another movie that grosses over two billion..." Da Peng said sourly, a dark thought rising in his mind.

The opening day box office and the opening week box office were both lower than "Avengers: Age of Ultron". The box office of "The Vanished" should be about the same as "Avengers: Age of Ultron", around 1.4 billion.

Yes, that must be the case!

At most, it's only 1.4 billion!
Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters and special effects blockbusters are all like this, so there's no reason why Qi Hui should be more powerful than Hollywood's big directors and big IPs!
