Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 216 - First Week Box Office Breaks Record Again, Becoming a Hot Commodity!

On the first day of the official release of "How Long Will I Love U", almost all the electronic screens in cinemas across the country were covered by the same poster.

A silhouette of Bai Ye and Jing Tian gazing at each other through a space-time rift.

Many cinemas even directly posted screenshots of social media support from celebrities such as Tang Yan, Liu Shishi, Yang Mi, and Liu Yifei that they had previously shared on Weibo.

Support from friends in the industry is nothing new these days!

However, it was recommended by the four great poets of the Tang Dynasty.

Even Fan Shuangbing posted on Weibo.

Some of the people were invited by Lu Zheng, while others came specifically for Bai Ye.

That night.

At midnight, when the results were announced, both Lin Wan and Lu Zheng were incredibly excited.

The midnight screening grossed 450 million yuan, with an occupancy rate as high as 90%.
It was basically full!

The box office revenue for a midnight release is roughly three times that of the opening day.

Judging from the current high occupancy rate and positive reputation of "How Long Will I Love U" (a popular Chinese TV show), this is a good sign.

In this era before the time-travel trope has been overused, even if it has some similarities to the setting of "Someday or One Day".

However, the two are not the same type.

As a light comedy, this show is successful.

Many in the industry believe that the box office on the first day could potentially be four times that of the midnight screenings!

Of course, this is just speculation.

Do you know how much the box office was on its opening day back then?!
800 million!
The film "How Long Will I Love U" grossed 650 million at midnight!
This has forced people in the industry to realize a problem.

Perhaps something truly terrifying is about to happen to them.

Could the box office performance of "How Long Will I Love U" surpass those of previous years?!

That day, Bai Ye and Jing Tian met up and started their roadshow. Because the two of them were doing the roadshow together, it gave the box office a small boost.

Because of the good results and the fact that it was his own investment, Bai Ye was incredibly energetic in running the roadshow.

When the first-day box office results came out, unsurprisingly, the industry was in complete shock.

Those films grossed eight million on their opening day, while The Timeless Cohabitation film grossed an even more outrageous 2500 million on its opening day.

It's almost double what it was back then.

After this result was announced, the entire team was incredibly excited.

I traveled to several cities over seven consecutive days.

The box office on the first day was 2900 million.

The box office revenue increased on the second day instead of decreasing, reaching 3000 million.

Then, on the third day, the box office exceeded 3200 million.

Subsequently, the box office revenue seemed to stabilize, hovering around 30 million.

The box office revenue in just the first week exceeded 180 million!
This answer sheet shocked the entire entertainment industry.

The miracles of those years seemed to be spreading.

The results in the first week were more than double those of previous years.

It's worth noting that the final results for those years amounted to 600 million.

But everyone knows that this is because the feedback from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and overseas markets has been positive.

So it was given a box office of 600 million, but the box office in mainland China was only 270 million.

And what about cohabitation across time and space!?

A box office of 180 million in its opening week?!

What does this mean?!

If it can maintain its momentum in the second week, the film's performance in mainland China may have already surpassed those of previous years.

"Bai Ye, are we still going to do the roadshow?!"

The roadshow was originally scheduled for seven days.

But with the current box office momentum, Lu Zheng really doesn't want to stop.

The main reason is that Jing Tian's reputation has recently returned to normal.

Some of her previous bad movies almost ruined Jing Tian's career, but her amazing performance in "How Long Will I Love U" is a testament to that.

This truly surprised many people. Is this still the Jing Tian they know, whose acting was disastrous?!

Many people have reached a consensus at this time.

That's when Jing Tian started working with Bai Ye, and that's when her acting skills were finally on full display.

The rebound in her reputation also suggests that Jing Tian might be able to break into the top tier recently?!

Although I know it's a pipe dream.

Jing Tian is still missing a super popular TV series.

She has achieved success in movies, but she still lacks the popularity she has built up in television dramas.

At present, Jing Tian definitely has no way to do it.

Let's not even mention that Jing Tian has been busy improving her acting skills lately.

After working with Bai Ye twice, Lu Zheng realized that what Bai Ye said back then was absolutely right.

If I continue to choose films in the same way as before, I estimate that Jing Tian's popularity will be completely worn down again very soon.

So since nothing else works, we can only see if Bai Ye can continue to promote it for a few more days.

In that case, he can also market Baiye together with it later.

"Okay, I'll run around for a few more days. I'll ask for a few more days off from the film crew!"

Bai Ye nodded. They really were going to run!
He had originally set a seven-day timeframe, but now he was genuinely tempted.

The more days you run, the more box office revenue you'll generate.

"That's definitely a good idea. After all, more promotion will definitely lead to better results than no promotion at all. With such a good reputation now, it would be such a waste not to promote it!"

Lin Wan nodded; she wholeheartedly agreed with Bai Ye's decision.

It would be a shame if Bai Ye didn't promote it now.

She had actually wanted to try to persuade Bai Ye, but judging from the situation, it seemed that she didn't need to persuade him; Bai Ye had figured it out himself.

Although Jing Tian didn't speak, her bright eyes seemed to say a lot.

Week 2.

Thanks to the two's vigorous promotion, the box office was even 20 million higher than the first week's box office.

It has reached 200 million.

The total box office revenue immediately reached 380 million.

Meanwhile, the release of Transformers 3 inevitably impacted How Long Will I Love U.

But this exam paper has already satisfied many people.

That's 310 million!
At this point in time, how many people have a total box office exceeding 300 million?!
In fact, it's already quite impressive for a movie to gross over 100 million.

The film "Day and Night" grossed 310 million yuan in just two weeks.

This directly broke the box office records in mainland China in those years!
At the same time, the third week also showed a slight downward trend.

However, according to the analysis, the minimum guaranteed amount this week is around 120 million.

In other words, relying solely on box office revenue in mainland China, they were able to successfully break the records of those years.

After all, many estimate that the final box office will likely exceed 600 million. And this doesn't even include the results from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and overseas.

Although the popularity of "How Long Will I Love U" overseas is not as high as it was back then.

However, the total box office revenue, including Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and overseas, has exceeded 100 million!

The box office appeal of Day and Night doesn't seem to be limited to the domestic market!

This has made many people extremely envious!
This movie is entirely funded by Baiye!
How much money is inside?!
Many people have inquired about the cost of filming "Time Traveler's Cohabitation" during the White Night series.

Although there are no specific figures, there is a general idea.

Forty million?!
The approximate estimate is around 40 million, based on the break-even point.

Baiye broke even when it had 120 million.

It's pure profit now!
no! ?
This is seriously making people green with envy!
Moreover, the box office performance of "How Long Will I Love U" is quite bizarre.

The daily box office figures are roughly the same.

Even though many films see a drop in box office revenue in their second week, How Long Will I Love U actually saw a reversal in box office performance.

As a result, many organizations have given their own estimates, feeling that the box office of "How Long Will I Love U" is really as bizarre as can be, and completely unpredictable.

But conservatively, the box office is over 100 million.

This is also a tacit understanding among everyone!
The immense popularity of "How Long Will I Love U" has allowed Bai Ye to firmly establish herself in the film industry.

The turmoil in the capital market is directly reflected in the battle for artists.

Huayi held an emergency meeting overnight.

Wang Zhonglei pointed to the box office curve on the big screen and said, "We'll spare no expense to secure the co-investment rights for the next installment of 'White Night'."

No!

He really couldn't take it anymore!

He had always thought that Bai Ye was just a young man, and that once he encountered setbacks, he would realize that it was difficult to succeed in the industry by relying on himself alone.

Then recruiting Bai Ye in the future will be a piece of cake!

But what is happening now seems to be completely beyond my imagination.

Now, he has indeed realized his miscalculation.

It seems I really can't look at Bai Ye with the same eyes as an ordinary person anymore.

"It's impossible to recruit him now, since the Shanghai entertainment circle won't let him go; he has connections with the authorities!"

Bai Ye is a member of the Shanghai social circle; that's already a label.

Bai Ye didn't intend to tear it up; he wasn't some eccentric person who insisted on not being involved in any particular circles.

Besides, Bai Ye already had a lot of collaborations with people from the Shanghai government.

In many cases, isn't it just that someone gave them a back door?!
This is currently the biggest challenge in getting in touch with Baiye.

"Let's get in touch. We have movie resources in Beijing. Didn't we ask Xiaoming to organize a gathering before?! I think we have to give it a try! If all else fails, we can just give him money!"
I don't believe he wants nothing; surely he must want something!

Wang Zhonglei's thinking was simple: since he couldn't recruit Bai Ye, he would make Bai Ye make money for him!

The two sides can cooperate. Whether he provides resources or money, he wants to make money from Bai Ye's side!
"Many people are watching him now."

We missed our chance!

Although he knew what Wang Zhonglei was thinking, and even thought the same thing himself.

But he was also well aware that there were far too many people eyeing Bai Ye, and it would be extremely difficult to find someone to cooperate with so easily at this point.

"Why not give it a try? Anyway, Xiaoming said he's already talked to Baiye, but he doesn't have time right now. I guess it'll be fine after their show ends?!"
However, I think we need to figure out what we can do to win him over first, otherwise he won't be moved!

How to win over Bai Ye is definitely a very troublesome matter.

After all, why would someone want to cooperate with you if you don't offer them any benefits?
Bai Ye's current status in the industry is beyond question.

He's the capital!

The transformation can be considered a success; next year, the studio will be transformed into a company.

It's impossible to hold it down now.

"He's starting a company, and he's bound to try and get a piece of the pie, but he has connections in Shanghai's business circles protecting him. There's nothing we can do about it, we can't stop him!"

Wang Zhonglei sighed and ultimately said nothing more.

Nowadays, even if you wanted to stop it, you couldn't.

The industry has now generally accepted that Bai Ye is now on par with these bosses.

In a way, this can be considered a successful transition for the actor.

at the same time.

After the box office results for the second week were announced, Bai Ye posted a Weibo post, which immediately topped the trending searches.

Regarding some recent events, including the promotion of "How Long Will I Love U" and the public's support for it.

During this period, Bai Ye actually read all the trending topics on Weibo.

However, Bai Ye didn't pay much attention to it during the roadshow.

At that time, six out of the top ten trending topics on Weibo were related to movies.

At the same time, Bai Ye also posted a question about some time-space bugs.

They also thanked the audience for their understanding of the time-space inconsistencies and said they would bring everyone an even more mind-bending game next time.

After all, I've never actually traveled through time!

It's reasonable for there to be a slight loophole, isn't it?
However, after this Weibo post was published, fans started making fun of it.

[My brother Bai must be a time traveler, he's actually pretty good at this!!]

[Hurry up and download the next one, there's just not enough to watch!!!]

【I want to see your next movie!! When will Brotherhood of Blades be released?! When will My Love from the Star be released?! I want to see The Great Tang Poet!!!】

Many people started urging Bai Ye to update his posts in the comments section.

Not enough!!!
That's really not enough!
In particular, they never let them down, time and time again.

Anyway, this has become a consensus: as long as Bai Ye has starred in a TV series, he will definitely not fall into any traps.

As for the supporting characters, even if there are some issues with the plot, there are absolutely no problems with the plot involving Bai Ye.

Then there were the cameo roles, where they also performed exceptionally well.

Therefore, many people are really looking forward to Bai Ye!

Isn't this exactly what Bai Ye likes right now?!
Meanwhile, fans from various groups began leaving comments in Baiye's comment section.

[If we follow the order, isn't it Xiao Zhao's turn now?]

Following this lead, Zhao Liying's fans also began to look forward to it.

After all, when Baiye Studio was established, the first person they collaborated with was Jing Tian, ​​followed by Zhao Liying.

Zhao Liying is currently quite popular, but she lacks box office success, which inevitably makes her fans hopeful.

[Are you kidding me?! Who does Zhao Liying even know? How much interaction do they even have anymore?! If they were to collaborate, it would definitely be with Shishi!! I really can't think of anyone else besides Shishi!!]

[Shishi is indeed great, but they've collaborated too many times. I want to see Baiye and Tangtang collaborate again! Tangtang and Baiye's Pinocchio has already been watched four times!! I want to see them collaborate again!]

I'd love to see Bai Ye and Fan Shuangbing collaborate!!

【Sissi!! Bai Ye, look at Sissi!! Didn't you two already know each other?! Now you can collaborate with Sissi, you've never worked together before!!】

[Holy crap!! Can't the Filipino maid just leave?! This was just a photo shoot, and now they're going to have to work together?!]

Why can't it be Jing Tian?! I think Jing Tian and Bai Ye have amazing chemistry as a couple!
