The birthday party was taken care of. The crew of "Lust and Caution" was officially notified that it was forbidden to hold a large-scale premiere. The lead actor is not allowed to be interviewed by any media in any form. In other words, for several members of the crew. After the movie was released, running the theater one by one became the only means of publicity.

On November 1, "Lust and Caution" was officially announced. Shen Lian had previously promoted the movie on the Internet through the private blogs of some of his friends. There's no way, it's okay if you don't advertise others to help.

Because he got an award at an international film festival. The quality is guaranteed, although more than 12 minutes of large-scale footage was edited, but the film still received a lot of attention, but many people who were closed to the news did not know that this long-awaited large-scale production zuò had been released.

During the release of the movie, the publicity of the actors is very important and can inject new vitality into the box office of the movie, so the publicity cannot be sloppy. Liang Chaowei also took a week off from the crew of "Red Cliff" to promote the movie for the promotion of "Lust and Caution" in the mainland, and Tang Wei was better able to call up the time, she has not received any invitation to a movie since "Lust and Caution".

On the evening of November 1, Liang Chaowei, Shen Lian and Tang Wei went to 12 theaters in Shanghai to promote "Lust and Caution", which caused a lot of sensation everywhere they went. Because "Lust and Caution" was filmed in Shanghai throughout the whole process, and it tells the story of what happened in Shanghai. So the first stop of the propaganda was arranged here.

And the mainland audience who watched the movie gave the movie absolute praise. Although it was abridged for about 10 minutes, the tight storyline, exquisite pictures, and the actors' appearances were praised.

On November 2, that is, the day after the release of "Lust and Caution" in the mainland, the crew did not sleep on this day, and the success or failure of the movie box office was in these few days.

The film's creators have all come to Beijing and are ready to launch a low-key promotion in Beijing, and the box office on the first day in the mainland is very important, whether it is external publicity or other things, this is an important number.

It's already two o'clock in the morning, and the numbers in theaters across the country are constantly converging, and the number processing center is constantly combining and integrating various numbers.

Shen Lian yawned lightly, then picked up the coffee that was already a little cold in front of him, took a small sip gently, and looked at the busy staff with a leisurely appearance.

Liang Chaowei looks much more leisurely, he is a person who has seen strong winds and waves, no matter how much or less the box office this time, there is not much difference to him, after all, the salary is fixed, even if it is a box office of more than 100 million, he can get a red envelope at most.

Ang Lee doesn't need to prove himself with this film now, this is just an attempt by him to return to Chinese-language cinema, and he is a Golden Globe Award and Academy Award winner for Best Director.

"Director, some of the numbers have been counted. According to the statistics of the New Film Association Cinema Line, the city of Beijing alone won 1.1 million yuan at the box office yesterday, and Shanghai also lived up to expectations, and the place where this story took place won 1.5 million yuan at the box office. Various other regions are converging, and the total box office estimate of 8 million is no problem! A staff member walked over and handed the slip to Ang Lee and then hurriedly ran away, now is not the time to rest.

Originally, Shen Lian thought that there was no wind and rain and no sunshine, after all, literary films were still not as good as those smash hits in the audience, but he didn't expect that the preliminary estimate was already this achievement.

Li An couldn't suppress the joy on his face, what else could he say about such a number? Maintaining such box office results, you have already recouped all your investment in five days at most, and the rest is considered to be making money, and such a high return can be said to be the crown of all blockbusters. And the high reputation of the movie is likely to make the box office results continue to ferment.

Shen Lian and the others stood up one after another after hearing the news, smiling like a flower on their faces, such a number was completely worthy of their celebration. Without a trace of hesitation, several people hugged each other to celebrate, and all the staff put down their work one after another, spontaneously applauded, and the laughter on the scene continued.

Constrained by the limitations of publicity, the box office trend of "Lust and Caution" is difficult to look at with a normal attitude. Several of the leading actors couldn't even use the Internet to promote their films, but fortunately, the topics raised on the Internet after the first day of the movie release made many viewers in second-tier cities whose information resources were not so smooth understand that "Lust and Caution" had already been released.

The topic of the second day was naturally centered on "Lust and Caution". The vast majority of the media praised this film, but the most praised was the plot of the movie, Liang Chaowei's textbook acting skills, and then Tang Wei's amazing expression, but there was very little praise for Shen Lian's acting skills. Occasionally, there are a few sentences, which are also a little hollow and painless.

If you look at Shen Lian's age, his transformation this time is okay, but. Helplessly, Tang Wei's table is too amazing! It's just that the two are still in the same movie. He became the green leaf that brought Tang Wei to life.

But. There is no problem with the movie itself.

Originally, Shen Lian, who was a supporting actor in the movie, only needed to follow the crew to complete three publicity shows. However, Ang Lee introduced himself to Hollywood to shoot movies, and Liang Chaowei invited himself to attend the wedding, and Shen Lian also consciously followed the crew to attend the publicity of various places and run the theater.

The box office performance of "Lust and Caution" exceeded 40 million in the first week, which can be said to be a breakthrough for such an ill-fated literary film, and a series of promotional activities have officially ended. The next box office trend depends on word of mouth.

Although the box office results are gratifying. And Shen Lian's performance in the movie has also been recognized by some professional film critics. However, according to the investigation, Shen Lian's role in the box office is rarely low. According to the media, some viewers were randomly interviewed. It was concluded that the golden signs of Ang Lee and Tony Leung attracted a lot of audiences, and Venice won the Best Picture award to play a crucial role in the film's box office. The good reputation that came from Hong Kong is also very important. Some people even said that they came to see it for the name "Lust Caution". And Shen Lian's fan base is the most important age group, relatively speaking, it is indeed a bit difficult for such a movie with a depressed atmosphere and insufficient plot conflicts. And Shen Lian's brilliant role in it has also been deleted a lot.

One of the scenes is the scene where the patriotic young people led by Shen Lian kill traitors. Because it was the first time to kill, the patriotic young people were not so powerful, their hands trembled violently, and the shiny knives in their hands pierced the traitors.

Shen Lian's eyes were red with blood, and he was the first to strike, but the head was not very good, and it was directly inserted into his stomach, and there was a lot of blood sticking to his own face.

The traitors writhed back and forth on the ground, wailing incessantly, but the young men probably hadn't even killed JI before, let alone people. Therefore, in the name of being too bloody and too depressing, the Guang~Dian General~ Bureau deleted this section, leaving only the scene of Shen Lian's red eyes.
