Seventy-sixth episode box office miracle
In the early morning of January 21, 2006, Huang Bo and Peng Yichen were in their rented house.
"What? You're not joking with me, are you?!" Huang Bo jumped up from the bed in shock, looking at Peng Yichen, who had just hung up the phone, and couldn't believe the number he had just heard.
"Are you kidding? 220 million yuan, making a movie at a cost of more than 100,000 yuan, can you get 220 million box office!?" Huang Bo plucked out his ears vigorously and repeatedly confirmed that he was not an auditory hallucination.
Peng Yichen smiled lightly, "Not only hundreds of thousands, but also the cost of publicity, adding up to more than 600,000 yuan in this movie." β
To be honest, such a high box office really surprised Peng Yichen.
By the time the fourth week of screenings ended, the box office potential of "Twelve Warriors" had slowly begun to dry up. Attendance has plummeted, and it's about to go down.
At that time, the total box office of "Twelve Warriors" had just reached about 100 million, which was also the peak of the box office of literary films.
But there is such a coincidence in the world, just when the box office of "Twelve Warriors" has begun to shrink, a murder case suddenly occurred in Jinling City, and the judge saved the life of a young man who was about to be executed because he watched the movie "Twelve Warriors".
After just one day of fermentation, this news spread throughout China the next day.

The final word was an editorial in the People's Daily of China.
"This is a low-budget, single-scene, ordinary characters, and simple plot of a literary film, but the creators use all their wisdom and enthusiasm to tell a story about life, law, dignity, prejudice, and discrimination, this is a movie that can save lives, and pay tribute to great movies!"
As the leader of China's official media and the mouthpiece of the country, the "Huaxia People's Daily" commented on "Twelve Warriors", and other media praised it.
In less than three days, even national government agencies began to pay attention to this sensational film.
The Supreme People's Court of China and the Supreme People's Procuratorate jointly issued a document calling on cadres of the judicial system across the country to watch "Twelve Warriors".
The Huaxia Lawyers Association called on lawyers and practitioners across China to watch "The Twelve Warriors".
The Huaxia Central Auditor System Management Office awarded "Twelve Warriors" the honorary title of "Must-see Movie for Assessors".
β¦β¦
In the end, even Chen Qianyi, Minister of the Ministry of Culture of China, publicly stated in the media that he would vigorously support "Twelve Warriors", a good film that promotes social righteousness and upholds the dignity of the law.
At this point, the influence of "Twelve Warriors" has gone beyond the scope of the entertainment industry and has begun to spread to all walks of life across the country.
In this way, "Twelve Warriors", which had begun to shrink at the box office because of negative news, suddenly began to soar at the box office.
In the fifth week, the box office of "Twelve Warriors" soared to 67 million.
In the sixth week, it got another 44 million box office, and it slowly fell back in the sixth week to only get 10 million.
In the coming week, after "Twelve Warriors" will be fully released, the cumulative total box office is expected to reach about 240 million.
According to this box office data, even if you don't consider the TV station, network broadcast fee and DVD sales share after the movie is released, he can get nearly 20 million or so just by relying on the box office.
After paying taxes, you can get about 14 million yuan.
This can be regarded as a huge amount of money in the current Huaxia.
Relying on a literary film, he instantly became a multimillionaire, which can be said to be unique in the Chinese film industry.
Due to the continuous popularity of "Twelve Warriors" and the concentrated coverage of the news media, Peng Yichen has now become a hot star in China, and few people mention the argument that "he relies on Jing to ascend to the top" and "he is an idol star".

On the evening of January 24th, it was a winter night in Kyoto.
The air in the city is a little dirty, but it can't stop the flashing lights of the Jindu Hotel.
The celebration dinner of Huimin Film and Television Company was held here.
The banquet hall was boiling, and the piles of reporters outside the door were like searchlights, searching for Peng Yichen and Yu Jing, but they didn't know that the two of them had already entered the banquet hall through the back door of the hotel.
People in the circle who have a good relationship with Huimin Film and Television and Chang'an Film Studio all came to participate in this celebration banquet today.
At the beginning of the banquet, Peng Yichen was sandwiched by Xiao Min and Zhao Jianguo like a puppet and walked onto the stage and smashed an ice sculpture of "24000000", indicating that the box office of "Twelve Warriors" has broken through the 240 million yuan mark.
The audience cast envious and jealous glances at Peng Yichen, but Peng Yichen always felt like a clown or a prey targeted by predators.
The celebration banquet held by Huimin Film and Television was completely held in accordance with the situation of Western-style buffet.
After the "ice smashing ceremony", the guests gathered with laughter and laughter, or tasted food and drink, and the waiters shuttled and walked around, which was very lively.
Peng Yichen took a glass of champagne and walked to the hall with Yu Jing, and everyone nodded to him.
A few young actresses even took the initiative to come up and talk to Peng Yichen, but Peng Yichen was embarrassed to refuse, so he could only chat with each of them for a few words, and then made an excuse and walked away.
Just when Peng Yichen was bored, a petite body rushed up and hugged him, then took a few steps back, looked Peng Yichen up and down carefully, and asked with reverence: "Brother Chen, you are really amazing, the first movie can get so much box office." β
Peng Yichen took a closer look at the cute little girl in front of him, and it took him a long time to recognize that it was the little girl at the front desk of the company, Zhu Yuxin.
Since he entered Huimin Film and Television Company, in addition to Huang Bo in the company, the person he knows most well is Zhu Yuxin. Every time I go back to the company, I basically have to talk to her.
Every time Peng Yichen sees this gentle and lovely little sister, he will have a warm feeling like seeing his own sister.
"It's you, Yuxin. I was just lucky. There are a lot of old-timers in this movie to help me, otherwise it would not have been such a big success. Peng Yichen smiled modestly.
"Oh, Brother Chen, you're too modest. β
After almost a year of training, Zhu Yuxin is now much more sophisticated and mature, wearing a playful and cute little dress, which is not inferior to many actresses in the entertainment industry tonight.
"This should be Yu Jing, Sister Yu. You're so beautiful. Zhu Yuxin looked at Yu Jing beside Peng Yichen and suddenly greeted her.
Yu Jing smiled very quietly, today she looks very gentle and lovely, and she doesn't steal the limelight of Peng Yichen's "disguised boyfriend", she knows when a woman should be domineering and gentle.
Looking at the delicate little girl in front of her, from her searching eyes, Yu Jing could see a faint hostility, although she was a little funny in her heart, but she was unwilling to fall behind.
"Where, how can there be, this sister is really petite and cute. I've often heard my family talk about you, and when we met today, I said it to him so cutely and beautifully. β
After all, Zhu Yuxin is a little girl who has just left school, and she is exaggerated by the top actress in China, she is a little shy in her heart, and her face is slightly red.
"Or my sister is more beautiful, what does Brother Chen usually say about me?
Yu Jing saw the little girl's immaturity and innocence, and what she wanted to say was taken back. "Haha, how is it possible, your eldest brother Chen usually praises you for being beautiful, but people are a little too thin, which is not good. β
"Ahh
"Brother Chen, my friend is still waiting for me there, I'll leave first if there's nothing to do. Zhu Yuxin didn't wait for Peng Yichen to reply, and ran away.
Peng Yichen looked at the words of the two women in front of him, completely left himself aside, and ran away first, touching his chin a little embarrassed.
smiled bitterly at Yu Jing: "You see you scared the little girl away." β
Yu Jing rolled her eyes cutely, "Why do you feel sorry for your little girlfriend, otherwise I will catch up and pull her back for you." β
Peng Yichen grabbed Yu Jing, I don't know when he started, he pulled Yu Jing's hand, and it became more and more natural.
"Well, I'm just joking. I'll talk to you about something. How about the two of us walking around now, it's so boring here. Everywhere I went, a crowd of people stared at me, literally treating me like a zoo animal. β
Yu Jing looked at Peng Yichen carefully, a 22-year-old young man, who had achieved such an achievement today, and he was not a little fluttering.
"Don't you enjoy this feeling of being in the limelight, and don't you enjoy the feeling of being adored and envied by everyone?" Yu Jing asked in a low voice.
Peng Yichen glanced at her strangely, "Enjoy? How can you enjoy it, I'm almost annoyed." If it's the audience cheering for my film, I'm okay with that. But these people look at me like they look at a bunch of Huaxia coins. β
Yu Jing was amused by his words and smiled lightly, "Mr. Huaxia Yuan, listen to you, how about we escape quietly?"
Peng Yichen and her looked at each other and smiled.
The two of them held hands, pretending to go to a secluded place to fall in love.
Slowly moved to the back door of the banquet hall, and then quietly slipped out......
