My singer girlfriend is super fierce

In its previous life, the movie "Charlotte's Troubles" had a very difficult start.

Although its main creative team "Happy Twist" was already quite famous in the drama world at that time, in the eyes of investors in the film industry, they were complete "outsiders" and were not optimistic about it.

When it was first released, facing competition from blockbusters such as "Lost in Hong Kong" and "Nine-story Demon Tower" at the same time, this film only got 12% of the screenings, and most of them were in non-prime time periods such as midnight.

The film was released during the National Day holiday, with a box office of 2200 million on the first day and only 1.56 million in the first week. However, the final box office of the film was close to 15 billion yuan.

In other words, the remaining 13 billion yuan box office of this film was won during the unpopular period after the National Day holiday, creating a "low opening and high closing" counterattack myth, which caused a huge sensation in the film industry at the time.

But the situation of this film was much better in Ye Zhiqiu's hands.

It also started with "low cost + weak publicity and promotion", but Ye Zhiqiu himself is the traffic driver, with many successful films in the past, so major theaters are relatively considerate in scheduling screenings, and there are relatively few midnight slots.

Therefore, after the box office of 2200 million on the first day, the film's box office continued to rise in the following days as word of mouth spread among movie fans and through "tap water" marketing.

On the second day, the box office was 4400 million!

On the third day, the box office reached 6700 million!

In fact, after the past two days, major cinema chains across the country felt something was wrong.

Although this film was low-budget and lacked any big-name actors—not counting Ye Zhiqiu's one-minute cameo—it had a surprisingly high attendance rate, rivaling, if not surpassing, the two current blockbusters, "Dinosaur Island" and "The King."

Theater managers are not idle either. In this case, "Charlotte's Troubles" can make money every time it is scheduled, so what are they waiting for? From the third day on, the film's screening rate has been rising rapidly.

In the past, the film was scheduled for your sake, Ye Zhiqiu.

Now, the films are scheduled for the sake of money, so the enthusiasm is of course different!

After the screening rate increased, "Charlotte's Troubles" did not disappoint the theaters, and its box office potential was further released. The total box office in the first week directly reached 2.9 million!

This result shocked the industry! On the Internet, entries about this film also became trending searches many times.

Some netizens listed various famous scenes from "Charlotte's Troubles".

"Your name is Charlotte, right?"

Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick

"Who is Dong Shi? Why does she urinate so frequently?"

"Ma what plum? Ma Dong what? What Dongmei?"

"Snowflakes flutter, the north wind blows"...

Netizens discovered that there are too many memes in this film!

In fact, in recent years, many viewers have the impression that comedy movies are becoming less and less funny, and are even awkward and boring. Ultimately, serious "homogenization" is a major factor.

In the Internet age, information is so developed that everyone lives in an environment of information explosion every day. Performances that could previously only be seen on TV or live can now be pushed to you at any time by opening your mobile phone.

Nowadays, many comedy movies use memes copied from the Internet, which are a mixture of rotten memes, forced to be funny and sensational. The audience no longer feels fresh and naturally doesn't buy into it.

But "Charlotte's Troubles" is different.

Others integrate or copy memes, but it creates memes, the difference is obvious!

In response to this, some netizens jokingly called this film the "King of Memes."

There are two people who benefited the most from this film - the male and female protagonists Bai Wei and Zhou Mei.

Before starring in "Charlotte's Troubles", they were just unknown drama actors, and this was even their first official film appearance.

However, the box office forecast for "Charlotte's Troubles" given by major institutions has now reached over 15 billion.

In other words, the two are now considered actors with box office experience exceeding 15 billion, and they have reached the peak as soon as they debuted.

Many viewers online expressed envy, jealousy and hatred, believing that the two were just unlucky. At the same time, some felt that although the two were lucky, they were also talented, and that they and the film were mutually beneficial.

During a promotional event attended by the crew, a reporter asked this question.

"Director Ye, many viewers online have expressed some controversy regarding the casting of the roles of Xia Luo and Ma Dongmei. Could you please tell me what led you to choose these two newcomers?"

On stage, Ye Zhiqiu, who was asked a question, picked up the microphone and answered directly: "Because I think they are suitable for these two roles."

The reporter seemed dissatisfied with this answer and continued to ask: "But some people online think that you choose actors based on nepotism. What do you think?"

This question was purely provocative. The reporter who asked the question either came with a mission or wanted to dig out some news from Ye Zhiqiu.
