Starting with Super Girl, he began to train the Chinese entertainment industry.

Chapter 135: The Birth of a Box Office Miracle
"If you feel it's not good, then go out and improve it, instead of complaining."

"..."

After Shen Qing single-handedly rectified public opinion, not only people in the music and film industries admired him, but also people in the novel, dance, and television industries began to support him.

Yu Hua: "Damn, Shen Qing said everything I wanted to say but didn't dare to say. He's awesome! Next time I'll definitely give him a signed copy of 'To Live'."

Liu Cixin: "Recently, some people have said that the ideas in my novel 'The Three-Body Problem 1,' which was published in May, are problematic. Actually, I don't want to explain too much. There will be a second book of this novel, so please look forward to it. Also, I highly recommend everyone to watch 'My People, My Country,' it's fantastic!"

Chen Kaige: "Shen Qing is a young man who dares to speak the truth. I know that my remarks today will be attacked by some people, but I still want to support Shen Qing and not let him be isolated and helpless."

Fan Bingbing: "Shen Qing is a very upright and patriotic person. I hope everyone can support him and our movie."

Zhang Liangying: "What Shen Qing said is exactly what I said!"

Those public intellectuals, knowing their lives are at stake, dare not show their faces for the time being; they find it hard to believe that the public opinion environment has changed so quickly!

It's all Shen Qing's fault.

Damn it, I'll remember your name. Just you wait and see.

……

Shen Qing didn't care about these people's opinions. In the future world, public intellectuals will be a group that everyone hates.

What he's doing now is accelerating that process.

It was he who, at the turn of 2006 and 2007, first listed 'public intellectual' as a derogatory term.

Once this impression is formed, it cannot be erased.

As soon as people think of public intellectuals, they know they are not good people.

But does anyone support 'public intellectuals'?

That's undeniable; there are all sorts of birds in a big forest.

……

Currently.

Shen Qing's focus has shifted to relaxation and entertainment.

He hasn't attended any events these days, and as for roadshows, it's been done by Feng Xiaogang, Ning Hao, Fan Bingbing, and others.

He, along with Zhang Liangying, Deng Ziqi, Xiao Jingteng, and Zhao Lei, kept a close eye on the recording studio's renovation every day.

All four of them were very excited.

Especially Deng Ziqi, she was so excited about singing in this recording studio that cost more than 1000 million yuan that she couldn't sleep.

at the same time.

The media's enthusiasm for the film remains undiminished.

Because "Curse of the Golden Flower" was released on December 14th, a Thursday, it only grossed 7 million yuan on its first day.

Meanwhile, the daily box office of "My People, My Country" remained at 1700 million yuan, thanks to group screenings organized by state-owned enterprises, schools, and other organizations, and the total box office had reached 2.6 million yuan.

This film has already set a new record for domestic commercial films in just half a month since its release.

The film industry is jubilant: the spring of Chinese films has arrived!
now.

Zhang Yimou is under immense pressure...

All the media outlets are watching him.

Fortunately, on Friday the following day, the box office for "Curse of the Golden Flower" exceeded 1700 million yuan, which salvaged the situation.

But "My People, My Country" earned 2000 million yuan that day.

The gap is still significant.

Films like "The Knot" and "Confession of Pain" have already given up the fight.

They've been showing for a few days now, one grossed 1000 million yuan and the other 1500 million yuan, with daily box office takings less than a fraction of "My People, My Country".

Now, the only weapon capable of fighting is the Golden Armor, so everyone's attention is naturally focused on it.

soon.

December 16th, Saturday, marked the first weekend of the Golden Armor series.

Zhang Yimou, along with Chow Yun-fat, Gong Li, Liu Ye, and Jay Chou, toured Beijing and Shanghai.

The effect is not bad.

Over two days, it grossed a total of 4000 million at the box office.

At this point, the cumulative box office of "Curse of the Golden Flower" reached 6400 million.

Based on this data, it's not impossible for "Curse of the Golden Flower" to surpass 2 million, but "My Motherland" might be heading for 4 million. Zhang Yimou: "Sigh, such bad luck."

In a timeline that originally didn't include Shen Qing, Zhang Yimou's "Curse of the Golden Flower" raked in a staggering 2.91 million yuan at the box office.

It can be said to be unparalleled.

But now, it has encountered "My People, My Country".

The market is only so big, and the amount of money in the audience's pockets is limited. Many people will only watch one movie and never watch another.

It's inevitable that the box office performance of "Curse of the Golden Flower" will not be as good as its predecessor.

By the time the second weekend arrived, Zhang Yimou had given up trying, as the box office results were essentially set.

The first weekend saw 4000 million, the second weekend only 3000 million, and weekdays dropped to around 500 million.

This momentum isn't working.

But the upcoming New Year's Day has given Zhang Yimou hope again: "We must break 2 million! Keep it up!"

……

2006年12月30日和31日两个周末，被调成了工作日，经过长达7天的工作之后，全国各地迎来了2007年的元旦假期。

The movie-going craze reached its peak in 2006.

Almost all the night screenings at major cinemas were sold out.

Those moviegoers who couldn't get tickets for "My People, My Country" had no choice but to watch "Curse of the Golden Flower," but "Curse of the Golden Flower" didn't have many screenings, and many people couldn't get tickets either.

Therefore, "The Ballad of Yunshui" and "Confession of Pain" also benefited from the soup.

On this day, Zhang Liangying was not in Beijing. She and Ye Yiqian were invited by Zhejiang TV to participate in the New Year's Eve gala.

Shen Qing did not go with them.

He was busy writing songs in Beijing.

The recording studio wasn't finished yet, so he could only write in his studio.

Sigh, I have several singers under my wing that I need to train...

Making money is indeed not easy.

If you don't have anything in your head and it's all purely original, how difficult would that be? No wonder so many big companies sign so many people, but in the end they all become just ordinary people.

"Damn it, I have to control the number of artists I sign. Three is already enough of a headache for me. I'll sign fewer in the future..."

"We can sign a few actors, since training actors only requires investing in film and television dramas. By occasionally copying a few scripts, we can raise their status and then sit back and count the money."

"Cool!"

Looking at the dozen or so A4 sheets of paper on the table, Shen Qing carefully locked them up and put them into the safe.

These are the first albums he prepared for Gigi Lai.

Xiao Deng, it's your turn to step in.

If this album doesn't make a hundred million, I'll make you cry!
……

Shen Qing glanced at the time; it was exactly six o'clock in the afternoon. She decided to go out and find Huang Bo for a drink, as it was indeed boring to be alone in the capital.

Just as I reached the company entrance, I bumped into Fan Bingbing, who was lingering there.

When Xiao Fan saw Shen Qing, she mustered up her courage and walked over: "President Shen, hello there, I was just about to come in to find you..."

Seeing that she was dressed beautifully and had put on exquisite makeup, Shen Qing smiled and asked, "What's up? Is there something you need?"

Fan Bingbing chuckled: "Yeah, I'm inviting you to a movie? I know you must be bored spending New Year's Eve alone in Beijing, so I came to keep you company."

Shen Qing: "Let's go!"

The movie theater is showing "Curse of the Golden Flower".

Many palace maids appeared on the big screen, each with a huge bulge, especially Gong Li's.

In the middle of the third-to-last row, Shen Qing coughed and whispered in Xiao Pang's ear, "Don't they feel pain when they squeeze their breasts so tightly?"

Xiao Fan chuckled and said, "Of course it hurts! I usually wear pretty loose clothes; I don't like them being so tight..."

now.

Looking at the young man so close to her, Xiao Fan saw him sniffing and laughed, "You've been staring at my chest, do you like me?"

Shen Qing answered irrelevantly, saying casually, "You're so fair-skinned, how do you take care of yourself?"
