Chapter 689 Director Wu, the gigolo
The special promotional campaign for "Interstellar Travel Day" has stirred up quite a storm in the industry.

Upon seeing this news, major domestic film companies immediately organized their publicity and distribution departments to conduct special studies.

"The Interstellar event and the Avatar event are similar in concept."

However, due to the nature of "Interstellar," it is more suitable for a family to take children to learn about science, as it has a wider and more precise reach.

Can I learn it?

"People are so curious about Interstellar that other films just don't have the same effect!"

"The marketing and distribution costs are enormous. These blockbuster films probably cost hundreds of millions of dollars in marketing and distribution. This may not be a big deal for them, but it would be fatal for other films."

"."

Many companies initially wanted to learn from this, but they all backed down when they heard about the marketing and promotion costs.

Time flies, and it's already mid-October.

The autumn atmosphere in Beijing is growing stronger.

It must be said that "The Warmest Thirty Days of My Life" was indeed released during an excellent time slot.

During the National Day holiday, several terrible movies served as a perfect foil.

After the National Day holiday, we won't see our first truly competitive Hollywood blockbuster until the 20th.
Green Lantern.

Another highly anticipated sci-fi film, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," will be officially released on the 28th of this month.

During this nearly month-long "vacuum period," the smaller films released could not pose any threat to "Warm Thirty Days."

Therefore, the film saw its first strong rebound over the weekend, breaking the 300 million yuan box office mark before Monday.

The media reports came very quickly.

[The box office of "30 Days of Warmth" surpasses 300 million yuan! The box office record for domestic romantic drama films has been broken again!]

[Wu Chen's first leading role in a film grossed over 300 million yuan! A new record in Chinese cinema, making him the first actor to achieve this.]

【.】

There are always some media outlets that like to stir up trouble.

And now, out of who knows where, this so-called "new record" has been unearthed.

It amused people both inside and outside the industry.

"Haha, where did you get these records?"

"Hahahaha! Please, stop calculating! If you keep doing this, the number of sheets of toilet paper Director Wu used in the bathroom will become a record!"

Director Wu: I'm not targeting anyone in particular, I just want to say that all the male actors here are...

Ning Hao's call came in shortly after.

His voice was full of teasing.

"Damn, there's this record too! You've really hit the jackpot!"

"You can get one if you want!"

Wu Chen chuckled helplessly on the other end of the phone.

"I can't handle it. Although I think I still have a chance to play the male lead for the first time, your film is clearly aiming for 400 million. How can I be confident that it will make 500 million?"

Ning Hao shook his head, then suddenly changed the subject and became somewhat serious.

"By the way, I've almost finished revising 'No Man's Land'!"

"Once it's fixed, take it up. There shouldn't be any major problems."

Wu Chen thought about it and changed all the sensitive points, but this time he changed fewer, making the story much more complete.
There is still a chance.

"Ok!"

Having experienced the failure of his first submission for review, Ning Hao was still somewhat uneasy.

Liu Yifei came out of the dressing room as soon as she hung up Ning Hao's call.

She wore a simple white T-shirt, with a beige Chanel tweed jacket draped over it.

Her lower body was covered by a pair of stonewashed blue skinny jeans, which made her already straight and slender legs even more eye-catching.

Her hair was styled in a ponytail, her skin was fair, her face was delicate, and her dimples were shallow when she smiled. "You even bothered to tie your hair in a ponytail?"

Wu Chen leaned back on the sofa, resting his chin on his hand, and looked at her with great interest.

"Doesn't it look good?" Liu Yifei asked, touching her ponytail with some confusion. "Then... should I go back and let my hair down again?"

"No, I'm afraid you're too beautiful, and the host won't ask any questions later, they'll just be watching you." Wu Chen joked with a smile, which immediately earned him a coquettish reproach from Liu Yifei.

"Hate!"

Liu Yifei quickly went downstairs, took Wu Chen's arm, and prepared to head to the interview hall of the China Film News in Xidan.

As the biggest winners of this National Day holiday film season, Wu Chen and Liu Yifei naturally received countless interview requests from the media.

They couldn't possibly refuse all of them.

So we selected a few influential and professional media outlets for exclusive interviews.

The interview hall of China Film News is decorated in a simple yet elegant manner.

The backdrop features a giant poster for "The Warmest Thirty Days of My Life".

In the poster, Wu Chen and Liu Yifei are embracing each other, smiling happily in the rain.

The interview was conducted by a senior female reporter named Li Jing.

Perhaps because the film itself doesn't deal with sharp, realistic themes, her questions were rather mild and interesting.

"Effie, as we all know, this movie achieved amazing box office results."

People online are saying that the 200 million you mentioned last time referred to the box office during the first week of the National Day holiday. So, what are your expectations for the final box office of this film?

Upon hearing this, Wu Chen and Liu Yifei couldn't help but laugh.

"Hmm," Liu Yifei thought for a moment, then gave a sweet smile, "Four hundred million, let's be conservative!"

"Okay, then let's wish '30 Days of Warmth' a speedy breakthrough of 400 million views!"

Li Jing smiled and then posed another question related to the movie, but also quite personal.

"Effie, as we all know, the movie '30 Days of Warmth' tells a story about 'how to live each day well'."

So, in real life, what would your ideal life be like?

This question brought a look of longing to Liu Yifei's face.

She then looked at Wu Chen, flashed a sly smile, and disappeared.

"Withered vines, old trees, and crows at dusk; dinner includes fish and shrimp. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and watermelon; as the sun sets, I earn money, and Wu Chen spends it."

"what?"

The audience was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

When the interview ended and the two walked out of the newspaper building, it was almost dusk.

At this moment, the sunset over Beijing resembled an overturned palette, painting vast expanses of magnificent colors across the sky.

"It's time to make money."

Wu Chen joked, gesturing for Liu Yifei to look at the beautiful sunset slowly sinking in the distance.

"Okay!"

Liu Yifei looked over and smiled sweetly.

At this moment, the setting sun cast its crimson glow upon Liu Yifei's gentle profile.
In Wu Chen's eyes, this moment possessed a quietness etched into time.
The interview was published in the China Film News early the next morning.

[Exclusive Interview with Liu Yifei, Lead Actress of "30 Days of Warmth": Hoping the Box Office Will Break 400 Million!]

[Liu Yifei talks about her ideal life: "Withered vines, old trees, and crows at dusk; I'll earn the money, and Wu Chen will spend it!"]

As expected, Liu Yifei's "golden quote" immediately became the focus of attention for all netizens.

"Hahaha! Director Wu, I admit it, I'm envious!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I feel like punching Wu Chen to death. Why?! Why?!"

"Waaaah, Director Wu, who lives off his girlfriend, is so good!"
