China Entertainment's performance is king

Chapter 1240 Results (Long Chapter)
"Auntie, uncle, I'm really sorry. Xiaojing still has to go to work during the New Year. However, I have to explain that this is definitely not my intention. I have no involvement in the management of the company." Shen Lang joked to defend himself.

"Xiaolang, I know she is what everyone calls a workaholic. She also finds us annoying, but you are her classmate. You should talk to her sometimes. She is so old now, it’s time for her to find a partner." Liu Xiaojing's mother complained.

Shen Lang was a little embarrassed. He actually knew a little bit about Liu Xiaojing's thoughts. He was a scumbag. Ever since he pulled her over to build a brand, no, it was after she came to BJ, she became more and more outstanding. She had this idea at that time.

Shen Lang originally thought that as time went by, some things would pass and his heart knot would be untied, but who could have thought that the other party seemed to be trapped.

"Auntie, I will." What else could Shen Lang say? After chatting for a while, he quickly retreated, otherwise this side would be surrounded.

"Why do you say these things in front of others?" Liu Xiaojing's father said after Shen Lang left.

"I did it on purpose. Our daughter is definitely interested in her classmate. I have heard from many of Xiaojing's classmates that they were close during tutoring and probably broke up later.

You know the girl from Zhang Youwei's family, she seemed to be close to Shen Lang at that time, but it ended in nothing, and our daughter has been with him all the time." Liu Xiaojing's mother looked at him with a sharp gaze.

Shen Lang is famous, and so is Liu Xiaojing. Although they are not stars, they are entrepreneurs now. There are also some scandals about the two of them. When Shen Lang was in school with Liu Xiaojing and Zhang Ning, there were always gossipy classmates.

"Hey, stop talking. I don't think Shen Lang is keeping his daughter hooked. He is looking for a partner in an upright manner. My daughter probably just admires him. If it weren't for this classmate, she wouldn't have the career she has now."

"It's no matter how much money you make. What's the point of making hundreds of millions without any offspring?"

"It's easy for you to talk without any pain. Just tell others how many people are willing to help you. Don't show off everywhere."

"I'm not stupid, but my daughter is rich, so it's harder for her to find a husband. Most people are not worthy of her. By the way, my daughter has booked a movie theater. I'll ask everyone to gather." Liu Xiaojing's mother went out to chat with her sisters with dignity. It was an honor to have a big star come to their home.

During his second and third years of junior high school, Shen Lang stayed at home. On the evening of his third year, he flew to BJ and came back to his grandparents' homes for a big meal. Then, he and his classmates walked the route to junior high school again. When they were in junior high school, they had to walk several miles. Now that there were no classes in school, the road looked deserted.

……

In the past two days, the box office of "Zhu Xian" has also skyrocketed. Although it did not achieve the same results as the first day of the Lunar New Year, it exceeded 400 million on two days, 440 million on the second day and 460 million on the third day, accounting for about 60 to 70 percent of the box office on that day.

"Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back" followed closely behind, with box office revenue exceeding 100 million yuan in two days, totaling 420 million yuan. Although it is not as high as the box office revenue of "Zhu Xian" in any one day, it is already second place.

However, the inverted box office share every day is really a bit unbearable to watch. There is no way to deal with it. "Zhu Xian" is a bit too abnormal. The box office share of other movies has dropped to 30 or 40 percent, while "Zhu Xian" is still above 92 percent.

Many cinemas are unhappy about the fact that the screening schedules have been scheduled so early, but they all have one target of ridicule: Wanda Cinema Line.

This time, Shen Lang still did not give Wanda the secret key for "Zhu Xian", which seems immature, but judging from the current results, it is a loss.

Cinemas hope that hit movies can offset their daily expenses and still make money. Under normal circumstances, cinemas actually lose money.

However, with the consecutive release of "Big Shot" and "Zhu Xian", when other theater chains' movies were profitable, theirs was at best breaking even, which is a bit frustrating.

If everyone is making losses, it means the overall environment is not good, but the current situation is that other cinema chains are making money but they are not. This is just waiting for the opportunity to make money. Efficiency is important in the workplace.

Wanda has already scolded Shen Lang and Wang Dashao to death, but there is nothing they can do. They have to flatter Shen Lang. Who would have thought that capital could be threatened? Where can they go to reason?

Although Young Master Wang seemed to be fine, more people began to mock him after his confrontation with Shen Lang.

The reason why he was able to get the title of National Husband before was that he was rich, and secondly, he spoke for the public. Although he was very cunning, he always stood on the side of the majority. In addition, other stars could not confront him because of their careers, and he did not make money from his image. He just did advertising, which just fits the dissatisfaction of most people with the high income of stars.

It’s different now. Shen Lang doesn’t care about his reputation at all and directly competes with him. If that were the case, it would be fine. However, Shen Lang slapped him in the face time and time again, especially by not cooperating with his family, which made him even more glorious. Some of his image was broken.

And it would be fine if he had mocked people like Pang Bingbing before, but this is Shen Lang. He really has a lot of fans who like him. Even if he didn't have that many fans before, under the influence of the system, they supported his movies, invested money, and paid the cost, so they would naturally say something for him.

This made Young Master Wang a bit upset. All we can say is that Young Master Wang was confused by the voices on the Internet at that time and really thought that Shen Lang was going to be abandoned by the times. Or, he was right, but Shen Lang had a system and could turn things around.

Then came "Kung Fu Yoga", which unexpectedly came from behind and surpassed "Journey to India" the next day. Baoqiang does have some sympathy, but with movies, the quality of the results can be very different.

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons 2" and "Kung Fu Yoga" are both stories about the same place, but the former is still a road movie at its core, like the "Lost" series, which has flaws and its box office was eaten up by "Kung Fu Yoga".

As for the box office, "Kung Fu Yoga" was around 110 million, and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was around 100 million. Because it was the first day, the box office was around 330 million.

As for "Sisters Who Make Waves", the box office has been quite stable, at around 50 to 60 million, but the word of mouth is good. Han Shao's movies are still loved by many literary and artistic young people, with a cumulative box office of 170 million.

There is also "Boonie Bears", which has a fixed audience and has a box office of over 120 million, but it is not as powerful as later generations. Maybe because of "Lone Brave Man", Shen Lang has a group of underage fans, and everyone really supports his movies.

Then, there is "The Village" which was forgotten in the corner. During this hottest period, the box office has not even exceeded 10 million after three days.

After returning to BJ, I distributed the things I brought from home to everyone. Dong Xuan was quite well behaved this time. Her family was all there, which was good. They were all in BJ for the New Year.

Chen Sicheng invited Shen Lang to dinner that night. With the popularity of "Zhu Xian", he became anxious to see that Shen Lang was also going to have his own movie universe. Shen Lang had proved himself too many times. If Shen Lang was not in "Detective Chinatown 3", it would be really affected.

After returning home, Shen Lang looked at the news of the past two days. In addition to the popularity of "Zhu Xian", there was another piece of news that was related to him.

#《The Wind Rises》cp#
The content is very simple. On the second day of the Chinese New Year, a netizen named "Sincerely Bless You" was posted on Hupu. He probably likes Liu Yifei and is also a bit of a fan of Shen Lang. He is more of a CP person. He made an MV for "The Wind Rises". He probably learned editing. He edited some of the roles of Shen Lang and Liu Yifei together and posted it.

Logically speaking, this incident should not cause an uproar. Under normal circumstances, it is normal for netizens and fans to like to edit CPs.

This MV became inexplicably popular and even became popular on Weibo. It might be because the male and female protagonists are Shen Lang and Liu Yifei, and their movie is currently in theaters. If you look at it from Shen Lang's point of view, there must be a reason for the 100% system. With a box office of 4 billion, any popularity will be useful.

Originally, this would not be a big deal, but for some reason, fans of Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei started fighting for no reason, including fans of Fan Fan.

There is only one reason. In the MV, there is a scene where Zhang Wansen, played by Shen Lang, and Su Yunjin, played by Liu Yifei, are in the same frame. The handsome man and beautiful woman are very interesting.

Naturally, some people will feel uncomfortable, such as Liu Shishi. As everyone knows, Zhang Wansen is Lin Beixing's. Fan Fan's fans are also trying to take advantage of the popularity, saying that Su Yunjin has nothing to do with Zhang Wansen and that they are just trying to take advantage of the popularity.

As a result, the incident fermented. Liu Yifei was okay, as she had many roles, but there would be no consequences. Shen Lang was different. Some roles he had worked with, such as Pan Zhilin, Na Zha, Tang Yan, and Liu Shishi, were all edited in. Shen Lang and his group of exes did not get along well, and so did his fans, so it ended up being a mess.

The MV was posted on Hupu on the evening of the second day of the Chinese New Year, and then came to Weibo today. He returned to BJ, and the popularity has obviously increased.

Shen Lang had a feeling that if he wanted to achieve the 4 billion box office, his popularity would not be able to drop in the next few days, so he just had to accept it.

He looked at the trending search for the MV again. At the moment, it was quite interesting. A person from Hupu was leading a group of men to fight with the female warrior on Weibo. She was the CP fan of Shen Lang and Liu Yifei. I sincerely wish you all the best.

Sincerely: "You are just blind. All of Sister Xia's fans are blind too. What does the MV have to do with you? You are judging me as if Shen Lang is your private property.

Bullying in the workplace, being a mistress, and many other dark histories, she didn't hesitate to talk about them. "Shen Lang took a look and decided not to read it. He felt that he had something against Liu Shishi, but he also admired his courage. Liu Shishi's little lions had never disbanded in this life, and with "Twinkle Twinkle Star" and "Your Wedding", her fan battle group had increased sharply.

It can be said that in terms of combat attributes, none of Shen Lang's predecessors can compare to him, not even Zhao Xiaogu. After all, Liu Shishi's little lion was an opponent who was able to defeat Yang Mi and Tang Yan in a one-on-two fight during their peak periods.

I checked WeChat and found some messages from abroad. It was from a staff member of China Film Group, who sent him some information about the foreign box office.

In Europe and the United States, mainly in the United States, the box office was not as expected due to the small number of large screens showing the film. The total box office was 5 million US dollars, or 40 million. This result is acceptable in China, but it is expressed in US dollars abroad, which is already very low.

Of course, even so, apart from Shen Lang and Uncle Long and other famous people abroad, no one else can achieve this box office success.

There were so many scandals about Shen Lang and Taylor Swift, and coupled with his status as a fashion icon, some people still went to the cinema to watch his movie.

As for Asia, the box office is also okay. There are many countries, and combined, it is about 50 million. The box office is already very good, but it is the result of more than a dozen countries. It has to be said that his appeal on the external network is not as strong as in the domestic entertainment industry.

He didn't know that the external network had changed.

A movie theater.

"Oh my god, I just discovered such a beautiful movie. This is the witchcraft from the mysterious East. I want to take my friend to watch it, but there are no shows."

"Such great special effects, such a touching love story of pursuing freedom, great."

"Is this the thing where you have a chance to win a doll by watching a movie? I want to see it."

"Zhu Xian" has developed in an unexpected way abroad. If you say that it suddenly became popular all over the United States, that is impossible. However, if it became popular due to some unrelated reasons, that is possible.

Naturally, some movie theaters abroad have also put some "Zhu Xian" peripheral products on the shelves. In fact, in the early stage, they were mainly provided to foreign countries. There is such a habit abroad, and with Shen Lang's influence in the fashion circle, he was able to bring in a lot of goods.

After all, the somersault cloud just now made everyone know what trend and sales mean. The popularity of somersault cloud on foreign websites is much higher than that in China. Taylor Swift went out wearing the special model given by Shen Lang. After being recognized, her popularity was even higher than her going out on the street.

During this period of time on the external network, it seems that as long as you post Jindouyun, there will be traffic, which naturally attracts many people to post it, and this has become a trend. You don’t have it, but I do, and this is the most essential reason for the trend.

A pair of shoes can be sold as a luxury item. If you want to buy Jindouyun, you have to buy other brands under Xingyao first, and then you are eligible to buy the special version of Jindouyun. It is really speechless.

This was not Liu Xiaojing's idea. It started from the counter. The more sales, the higher the commission. Everyone can see that they want to grab the Somersault Cloud. It doesn't matter who you sell to, so why not give more people a chance to consume.

And during the Spring Festival, a small incident occurred. A foreigner was caught smuggling the Somersault Cloud. Sometimes, there are some things that you just can't imagine.

Many people have financial sense and know the origin of the Somersault Cloud. They go to China to take a look and think, wow, if I take this abroad, I will make a lot of money. The price is about the same, but there is one US dollar and one RMB, and the RMB price can even be cheaper.

If you wear them out or carry one pair with you, no one will stop you. But if you wear hundreds of pairs at once, people would think you are stupid.

Under such circumstances, the popularity of Somersault Cloud remains high. Shen Lang has invested more than 1.6 billion points in the peripheral products of "Zhu Xian". Before the domestic habit has been formed, the overseas ones have come first.

For example, magic weapons, Amber Red Silk, Soul Eater, Tianya Sword and the like, are basically limited editions, and you have to draw them from blind boxes, you can't get more.

In fact, many people cannot understand this. It is just a doll, a model, or even a card, but some people spend money on it.

It can be considered as some kind of binding. It looks childish, but some people really buy into it. Coupled with the power of the system, quite a few people can understand this movie, mainly because of the magical special effects, which really surprised a large number of people.

However, there were too few screenings of this movie, and everyone felt that there were not enough screenings, so they began to give suggestions to the cinema.

Movie theaters would not fail to make money, and they also discovered this factor. It was also the off-season, so they directly increased the price of the screen from 500 yuan to 1,500 yuan.

Of course, this is also a miracle. Normally, we have to move forward step by step. It’s just that it happened at this time and it’s too dull.

I also learned that the box office of this movie in that country exceeded 100 million US dollars in one day, which is incredible.

The effect is also gratifying. For example, the staff who have not sent today's box office data to Shen Lang have not yet sent it to Shen Lang because of the time difference. They usually send it to Shen Lang at noon. However, looking at today's data, they would not dare to believe it if they hadn't looked at it carefully.

Today's box office in Europe and the United States is 5 million, which means 5 million a day. Moreover, they also took the initiative to increase the screening schedule. In this way, I should also get a bonus, after all, I was the one who followed "Zhu Xian" overseas.

Without further ado, let’s go support Shen Lang’s new movie today.

……

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the domestic box office once again exceeded 400 million, reaching 430 million, a slight decrease. The box office has already astonishingly just exceeded 2 billion.

This result is amazing, breaking 2 billion in four days. Who would have thought that this is aimed at the film history record of "Big Shot", hitting its own mark.

With over 2 billion, other competitors are basically just entertaining themselves. In addition, the reputation of "Zhu Xian" is unexpectedly good, and people are all praising its special effects.

There's no way around it, the special effects of this movie are so good, too many special effects companies have come out to grab the credit, but we have to admit that Shen Lang is pretty good, and praising the special effects is praising them.

The cinema chains have gone crazy, but Shen Lang is calm and composed. The cinema chains are so worried that they are eager to schedule more screenings for "Zhu Xian", except for the poor manager of Wanda Cinemas.

In fact, they said that they also supported Shen Lang in scolding Young Master Wang. It would not be a problem even if they were allowed to speak out. At the very least, you should give us a channel to contact you first. Seeing their peers making a lot of money, they are so envious.

The theaters were also very excited. It had been four days since they had secured the front lines, but the Spring Festival period had changed suddenly, and the security for filming was much more expensive than usual, so it wouldn't last long. So, on the fourth night of the New Year, Shen Lang knew about the screening schedule.

As everyone knows, the box office harvest period is actually the seven days of the Spring Festival, and then there is basically a cliff-like drop. Four days have passed, and the scale must be expanded in the last three days.

But other movies also make money, but they are not as efficient as "Zhu Xian". It's because "Zhu Xian" is too good, not that others are completely bad. In this case, the screening schedule has increased to 42% at most.

The screening schedule for "Kung Fu Yoga" has also increased, accounting for 19%. "Journey to India" has the worst reputation and has a huge impact. It can only be said that the sympathy points are limited and it costs money.

The box office on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year was astonishing, reaching 600 million again. Compared with the 25% screening rate, the attendance rate and cost-effectiveness may not be that high, but that is comparing with itself. Compared with other works, it is bullying them.

The cumulative box office has reached 2.6 billion. Not only netizens and people in the circle, but even Shen Lang himself could not have imagined this box office. Could it be that this is really going to ruin "Big Shot"?

Nowadays, some people in the circle have started to calculate for Shen Lang, it seems that the investment he made in making this movie has been recovered.

Even though he didn't do any publicity, he could still receive more than 40% of the profits, which is more than ten billion yuan. After deducting taxes, it was almost enough to cover the investment in the filming of "Zhu Xian". People didn't count Qingyun Mountain, Heyang City, and only talked about the investment.

Unexpectedly, this movie was really aiming for 3 billion. At that time, many people wanted to make fun of Shen Lang. Now, 3 billion is right in front of them and it can be completed during this holiday. Shen Lang is going to make a lot of money again.

The fifth night of the New Year, WeChat group.

Liu Yifei: "@Shen Lang, when will you arrive in Shanghai?"

Shen Lang: "I have a flight at 9 o'clock. I'll go directly to the cinema. Sorry for bothering you."

Liu Yifei: "It should be, this is also our movie, good luck on your journey."

This roadshow is scheduled for the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and people will officially go back to work on the fifth day. Celebrities are no exception. In fact, no one has had a rest these days.

Jing Tian looked at the group speechlessly. She couldn't say it in private. Why was she pretending? However, she immediately realized that Liu Yifei wouldn't do it on purpose. She was trying to please Shen Lang in front of everyone. This person was too scheming.

I can only say that my sister Fei is very open-minded. Shen Lang's "Zhu Xian" did, to some extent, restrict her career.

"Zhu Xian" has at least three parts. Judging from the performance at the beginning, if the subsequent performance is maintained, I can rely on this series to get a box office of 10 billion yuan. Of course, it would be best if the female lead is always the best.

She didn't think she was trying to curry favor, she was trying to ease the relationship. The reason why she tagged him in the group was because she knew very well that many people in the group thought that the relationship between her and Shen Lang was a bit awkward.

After all, there will be cooperation in the future, and there should be no major changes in the people in the group. After the first season sold well, the subsequent actors will have to rush to move up.

Shen Lang could understand a little bit of Liu Yifei's thoughts. In fact, sometimes he felt it was boring. Couldn't you be less generous? You really wanted to destroy her perfect image.

(I’m not being mean to you, you said so yourself)
