My singer girlfriend is super fierce

At the event, after asking a few questions to the actors, many reporters turned their attention back to Ye Zhiqiu.

"Director Ye, do you have any plans for your next film?"

Ye Zhiqiu did not hide it and said into the microphone: "Yes, it is already in the planning."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately became interested and started asking questions.

"What kind of film is it specifically?"

"Is it a comedy? Or a science fiction film?"

“Who’s the lead actor?”

"Can you tell me a thing or two?"

Under everyone's gaze, Ye Zhiqiu said, "The specific information will be announced soon, so please pay attention to it then."

"To give you a preview, it's a crime and suspense film. In addition to being the screenwriter and director, I will be playing one of the male leads."

At the end of the event that day, this interview received a lot of attention and sparked heated discussions among netizens.

"Fuck, Bai Wei used to be the most handsome boy in the Art Academy. I never knew that."

"You know what, he's really handsome."

"So, time is a butcher's knife."

"This improvisation was fantastic! These two are truly worthy of being in a drama, their line delivery is better than 80% of the actors out there."

"These two are truly blessed with fortune. They reached the pinnacle of their careers right after their debut, starring in films that grossed over 10 billion yuan. I wonder how many real actors are envious of them."

"Honestly, both of them have the talent, but the most important thing is luck. There are many actors with acting skills, but how many of them can encounter such an opportunity?"

"Ye Zhiqiu: Who else wants to reach the pinnacle of life?"

"The next film is actually a suspense or crime film? He doesn't seem to have done this type of film before."

"There's 'Detective Chinatown' for suspenseful comedies, and 'No Man's Land' for crime and road movies, but this is definitely a first for 'suspenseful crime'."

"This type of film is quite difficult to shoot realistically. You have to be logical and pay attention to the censorship standards. The performance of the actors is also very important. It places high demands on the screenwriter and director."

"It feels like Ye Zhiqiu is constantly challenging himself."

"Maybe 'Charlotte's Troubles' made money, so I can spend some money now, haha."

......

Fast forward a few days to July 7th.

It has been 10 days since the release of "Charlotte's Troubles", and the cumulative box office has reached 8.3 million.

This result temporarily ranks third among the films in the same period, but the current situation is that after more than ten or twenty days of release, the subsequent box office of other films has weakened, but this film still has great potential.

On weekdays, it can take in an average of 6 to 7 million at the box office, and on weekends it will definitely exceed 15 million... Major institutions' final box office forecasts for this film have also been rising, from 17 billion to 20 billion... and now it has directly reached billion.

This number really shocked many people and slapped many people in the face.

20 billion, enough to rank second in the total box office of the summer season.

Ranked first is the imported Hollywood blockbuster "Dinosaur Island".

You know, the total investment of "Dinosaur Island" is 1.7 million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 10 billion RMB...

In comparison, the total cost of "Charlotte's Troubles" is less than one-tenth of that, which can be said to be a textbook example of "small wins big".

However, the most embarrassing one is for someone else - "The King", which was originally predicted to be the second in the summer box office.

The current cumulative box office of "The King" is 16.5 billion. Although it is still far ahead of "Charlotte's Troubles", they are about to be taken off the screen and the overall situation has been decided.

At this time, in an office building in Shangjing City.

"The King of Boxing" director Guo Yuwen looked at the words "single-day box office of 650 million" on the box office statistics report in his hand, with a constipated expression.

It’s already annoying enough that the total box office has been hotly pursued by “Charlotte’s Troubles” recently. What’s even more painful now is that if this trend continues, the originally predicted total box office of 18 billion will not be achieved.

The number of moviegoers during non-holiday periods is there. If the audience chooses "Charlotte's Troubles", other films will inevitably be affected.

Honestly, this one hurts.

The total investment of "The King of Boxing" is more than 3 million yuan, and the cast is also very luxurious, with movie kings, big names, and popular actors. Even the release schedule has been carefully arranged.

In their opinion, although the box office will definitely not be able to beat "Dinosaur Island" which was released in the same period, it is a Hollywood blockbuster, so losing to the other one is "excusable."

At that time, I can still promote the film as "the box office champion of domestic films in the summer season". With this title, it will be of great help to the directors and actors of the film in the future.

However, all the beautiful ideas were shattered by the sudden appearance of "Charlotte's Troubles".

Director Guo Yuwen frowned. He originally wanted to use the box office performance of "The King" to increase investment for his next movie, but now it seems difficult.

Capital is all about maximizing profits and is risk-averse. He can imagine investors pointing at his nose and saying something.

"Look at 'Charlotte's Troubles'. It cost less than 1 million yuan and earned 20 billion yuan at the box office. Why don't you learn from them?"

If he could learn, he would have learned it long ago! Thinking of this, Guo Yuwen sighed in his heart. Who doesn't want to spend little money to achieve big things, but this is really not something that everyone can do.

At this time, someone in the team who was discussing the issue suggested: "How about we also apply for a key extension?"

"The summer season isn't over yet, so the box office should still be able to increase a bit."

"No." Yu Wen thought for a moment and shook his head decisively: "After the popularity died down, new films were released one after another. There is no potential anymore."

"It's better to finish it early, settle accounts with the theaters early, and then put it on the video platform right after. That way, we can sell it at a good price and make more money."

Everyone nodded, and someone else suggested, "Actually, strictly speaking, the top-grossing film of this summer isn't Dinosaur Island, it could be Ye Zhiqiu."

"There are two films related to him, in addition to 'Charlotte's Troubles', there is also 'Kung Fu Bear Brain 2', which was also imported from Hollywood. The total box office of these two films is estimated to be over 2 billion yuan, which is higher than 'Dinosaur Island'."

Hearing this, Guo Yuwen's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes! Why didn't he think of this?

Sometimes you really have to think in reverse. What he has to do now is not to make up for the fact that "The King" lost to "Charlotte's Troubles" at the box office, but to brag about the fact that "Ye Zhiqiu ranked first in the summer box office."

Losing to second place is a bit embarrassing, but losing to first place sounds okay, and "Dinosaur Island" is the same as me!

"Just do it this way!" Guo Yuwen clapped his hands.

"Find some online trolls and have them hype up Ye Zhiqiu's summer box office success and dethrone Dinosaur Island. It would be best if they could bring its reputation up to par with ours!"
