Chapter 129: New Year's First Explosion (2-in-1, with a little movie plot)
New Year's Day, afternoon.
At this point, the reunion dinner was eaten, and the New Year was worshipped, and the family and relatives were either playing cards or mahjong, but Yin Youyou only felt bored.
- Especially, she is still in love with her boyfriend, and at this moment, it is not surprising that she is "forced to marry".
This is probably a must-have treatment for all unmarried young people during the New Year.
And you think you'll be fine if you get married? Thinking too much, there will be "forced birth" after marriage, and there may be "urging a second child" after giving birth to a second child...... In short, the Chinese New Year is too idle, and as soon as she is free, her family and relatives can't help but talk about the rest of her life.
It's better to go out and have fun.
As soon as Yin Youyou logged in to Penguin Communication and was about to call friends, he saw the pop-up push of "Charlotte's Troubles".
She immediately had an idea, yes, why don't you go to the movies.
Speaking of which, after New Year's Day, she hasn't watched much of a movie.
As a senior movie fan with a decent income, she is naturally not distressed about the price increase of movie tickets, but because many people will feel distressed and have opinions, the market will become cold, and then there will be no new films released...... So much so that she didn't notice that Dunhuang's new film had been released.
"The screenwriter is Wang Wei, wow, the online word-of-mouth has exploded......" Yin Youyou no longer hesitated when he saw this.
made an appointment on the penguin with two friends who were also forced to marry and blind date by the family, and she went straight to the cinema.
I met with my friends in the theater and came to the ticket counter, just in time for a "Charlotte Troubles" to start in ten minutes, so I decisively paid for the tickets.
Well, and of course, popcorn, which is indispensable for movie-watching.
After entering the venue, his friends complained that the seats he bought were not ideal, and Yin Youyou realized that there were not many people watching movies today!
This is a large screening hall with more than 150 seats - although Yin Youyou is returning to her hometown for the New Year, her hometown is not a small county in the middle of nowhere, on the contrary, although the number of theaters is not as good as that of first-tier cities, the quality is not bad at all.
And in such a large screening hall, there are all heads of people as far as the eye can see, and it is obvious that many families are out and come to watch the movie together.
Is it because of the Chinese New Year, and everyone is willing to spend money? Or is it because the movie really has that much appeal?
Yoon Yoyo hopes it's the latter.
Although most of the current domestic comedy movies are not her cup of tea - compared to crazy spoofs and vulgar comedies, she still prefers beautiful romance films with beautiful protagonists, or logical dramas.
Because of this, she has a high tolerance for comedy, and she often watches a so-called comedy but doesn't laugh once, if it weren't for Wang Wei's screenwriter's name and a good reputation on the Internet, she wouldn't have come to block herself in the New Year.
Soon, the movie began.
At the beginning, Yin Youyou still grabbed a handful of popcorn and chewed there from time to time, but looking at it, she didn't dare to eat it, for fear of choking to death by popcorn-
Charlotte attends the wedding of the goddess, is made a big fuss by his wife, tears off his last fig leaf, and then embarks on a fantasy journey back to youth.
Yin Youyou didn't have time to complain about the middle-aged Shen Yan actually going to pretend to be tender and play a high school student, so he just cared about "hahaha".
——Teacher Wang, who asked for money from students, only remembered the names of students who gave valuable things, gave insulting nicknames to students who did not study well, and treated students roughly, was beaten by a group, which made Yin Youyou yearn for it-
She also met such a teacher when she was in middle school, and she can't say that it has nothing to do with it, she can only say that it is exactly the same.
It's just that her teacher is not as "cute" as in the movie after all-
When I rode a bicycle and saw that the student was being bullied by the little bastard, his right foot just hit the ground, ready to do righteous things, and he was shouted "get out", and his right foot instantly stepped back into place, like a gust of wind, riding a bicycle and slipping away.
I thought it would be dark to the end, but I didn't expect to come to a gorgeous turn, the teacher who was beaten by the students turned out to be a martial arts master, and easily defeated the gangsters after turning back, at this time, looking at the back of him riding a bicycle and twisting his ass away, Yin Youyou shook his head and laughed, while leaving the bad memories behind.
- Back to the movie, Charlotte stole the songs of the future famous singer, became popular, won the hearts of beauties, and gradually got rid of the "stalking" of his wife in reality.
Yin Youyou prefers to be bullied by the "evil force" Xia Luo, and appears as a beautiful man Yuan Hua with the BGM of "One Cut Plum". Whenever he "starts his performance", not only Yin Youyou, but the entire screening hall will burst into laughter.
- After becoming famous, Charlotte became hypocritical and empty, and wanted to recover the Dongmei who was willing to pay for him. However, after being knocked out by Dongmei's husband + good buddies, he was diagnosed with AIDS by the hospital.
At the last moment of his life, Xia Luo found that everyone around him had their own little abacus, and even his mother gnawed on the tender grass because of his sentence "Fuck your mother" when he was studying.
Only the "bad wife" who was once disliked by himself accompanied him and sang his first song.
So after waking up from the dream, Charlotte became a sticky spirit who was pestering the "wife of the chaff" all day long......
Classic and unforgettable lines, delicately arranged joke baggage, and compact design with ups and downs...... All let the burst of laughter come out so naturally, so that the eyes of the happy crowd dare not leave the big screen for a moment.
Until the big screen goes completely dark, you can still hear people in the theater laughing.
When the lights came on, at least two-thirds of the people in the screening room were smiling, discussing something with their friends, imitating two lines from time to time, and then laughing.
Similar to them, Yin Youyou and his friends around him also discussed with a smile on their faces-
They don't like many things shown in this movie, such as the greed of teachers, the snobbery of classmates, the vanity of little people, the ugly side of human nature, etc., but it does not affect them to get a pleasant viewing experience.
This is not contradictory - there is a lot of dirt in this world, even a hundred times dirtier than in the movies. But in the movie, these hideous faces are transformed into satirical jokes, which make people temporarily detached from reality during the movie, and just want to "hahaha", for a comedy, that's enough.
Under the guidance of this happy mood, Yin Youyou took out his mobile phone before he walked out of the theater and shared his experience of watching the movie on the "Goddess Zhenzhen Fan Group".
- Yes, Yin Youyou is one of the organizers of Shen Zhenyi's fan group, and the number of Shen Zhenyi's fans that can be counted on the penguin group has reached 100,000.
Of course, Yin Youyou's group is the organizer of fan groups all over the country, but if you round it up, her sharing can at least cover tens of thousands of people across the country......
In fact, this is just a microcosm of Charlotte's troubles on the first day of the new year.
The theater chain was the first to feel the recovery in popularity brought by it, and was overjoyed to increase the film schedule.
So, as soon as the box office came out that day, countless people were stunned at once!
78.43 million!
Many people have been wondering how much a ticket price increase can add to a blockbuster movie, and now they know.
Frankly speaking, not everyone is optimistic that "Charlotte's Troubles" can become the first hit after the ticket price increase - with an inexplicable and incomprehensible title, an unknown director, and an old-fashioned and cheesy plot, it just caught up with a schedule when the audience was resistant......
Unexpectedly, it not only exploded, but also exploded the single-day box office to a height of nearly 80 million!
Moreover, this is the first day of the Spring Festival stalls in the real sense.
Oh, my God!!!
……
The box office that exploded on the first day of the Spring Festival not only stunned countless onlookers, but also shocked the main creative team that was running the promotion.
Especially director Kim Jae-ku and starring Shim Yan.
Can't go home for a reunion during the Spring Festival, and you have to run propaganda outside, are you tired?
Tired of being a dog!
Even because the box office is more widely distributed during the Chinese New Year, the domestic publicity trip of the main creative team of "Charlotte's Troubles" is so dense that it makes people's scalp tingle at a glance.
But Jin Zaiku and Shen Yan were both willing.
For Kim Jae-ku, this is the first time in the more than ten years since he made a movie that he has so officially participated in the national promotion of a film, so he is even a little excited - the popularity of his past movies is so low that there is no need to even run roadshows across the country.
However, in addition to the excitement, there is also apprehension.
After the film was filmed, he made a first cut and felt that he had made it really well. Later, Wang Wei reviewed the film, cut it at the end, and also said, "You shot very well", which gave Jin Zaiku a little more confidence in his heart.
However, after the official release of the movie, he had no bottom again.
Dunhuang's goal for "Charlotte's Troubles" is to rush to the height of "My Sassy Girlfriend", that is, the domestic box office must at least exceed 400 million.
The problem is, the National Day file is a proper popular schedule, and this year's Spring Festival file ......
Can it attract an audience? What would a critic say? And, will it ultimately live up to expectations?
It's not just about fame, it's about practical benefits – his bonuses as a director are tied to the final box office. The higher the box office, the bigger the red envelope he gets.
The box office was a little cold a few days before the Spring Festival, which once made him even more bottomless.
Although the reputation of the audience and the film critics who have returned from the feedback are very good, there are more movies with word-of-mouth and no box office, and Kim Jae-ku can only pray that he will not be unlucky to become one of them.
However, what he absolutely didn't expect was that just after the first day of the new year, all his worries became superfluous!
With a single-day box office of nearly 80 million, how many records have been refreshed?
He, a second-rate director, broke a box office record? Who would dare to believe it?
In short, Kim Jae-ku has been in a state of confusion since the box office came out on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
And with the naked eye, it is obvious that the degree of attention he receives is completely different.
- Although the theater side was optimistic about "Charlotte's Troubles" before, for him as a director, there was only pure polite hospitality.
Kim Jae-ku doesn't feel too much loss, he is a second-rate director who has never proven his box office strength, and he really doesn't have any status or importance to speak of.
But now, the management of the cinema line, who has always been above the top, is very polite to him; The investors and producers who had lost contact with him before all called and took the initiative to contact him; At the propaganda site, reporters also began to stare at him, like a hungry wolf staring at meat......
This feeling of going down one station at a time, each station is more valued than the previous one, so that Jin Zaiku, who has been in the industry for more than ten years, has experienced for the first time what is the real spring breeze!
Shen Yan was slightly better than him.
Don't look at the fact that he is already a famous comedy star, but there is no doubt that "Charlotte's Troubles" will be his best box office film since his debut!
Yes, even though it has just been released, he can already make such an assertion.
After all, the best results of the previous works he starred in, and the box office did not exceed 400 million; And now the box office of one day has reached the box office of his previous best performance work in one week.
What's more, the box office and word-of-mouth are flying together!
It was only at this time that he realized that the influence bonus brought to him by a bull fork's script was simply not enough compared to an ordinary script!
- are all exaggerated performances with a degree of relaxation, and he has rarely been praised for his acting skills before; This time, he is still pretending to be a high school student with a wrinkled face, but he has been unanimously praised for his acting skills.
To put it bluntly, after "Charlotte's Troubles", his popularity has reached the peak among comedians.
No, it's only been a day, and there are already production companies and producers who want to book his next film appointment.
Well, it's not just him, Kim Jae-ku also got a similar treatment, and even had an invitation to pack and book the two.
This is normal.
There is no shortage of directors in China, but there is a shortage of excellent commercial directors who can sell well!
Zhuang Geng was also like this before, after the box office explosion of "My Sassy Girlfriend", more than one investor was in close contact with him, and it is said that he did not hesitate to use a beauty plan to dig the corner of Dunhuang.
It's a pity that Dunhuang made the first move and signed a three-film contract with Zhuang Geng in advance, and in the next few years, it can be regarded as binding this director with first-class blockbuster ability.
It's different here in Jin Zaiku, he didn't sign a contract with Dunhuang in advance, and theoretically anyone can dig it.
However, Kim Jae-ku simply refused the invitation, leaving no room for anything.
"I'm going to follow Dunhuang in my life!"
In addition to publicity, the two talked about this topic, and Kim Jae-ku said.
If he had been talented and arrogant, he might have hooked up with other investors a long time ago.
But his family knows his own affairs, and "Charlotte's Troubles" is showing a look at the Spring Festival, but he is still a second-rate director in essence.
If you don't have that ability, don't be fooled.
What's more, now there are many people who want to hug Dunhuang and Wang Wei's thighs, and he left by himself when he was stupid.
Shen Yan agreed very much, and even envied a little.
This envy, after reading one of Charlotte's film reviews, reached its extreme.
Well, it's that film critic Charlotte.
I don't know if it's because of the same name as the protagonist of the movie, this old man is unprecedentedly active in commenting on "Charlotte's Troubles"!
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when various film critics only pushed this movie as "hilarious" in the media, the old man asserted that this movie would create a box office miracle for the Spring Festival!
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, after the box office of the previous day was released, on various media communication channels, people were shocked by this box office result, but the old man did not have much evaluation of the movie itself, but praised the ability of screenwriter Wang Wei -
"He may not be the best storyteller in the entertainment industry, but he is definitely the best at on-demand storytelling!"
"No one can succeed forever, but for Wang Wei, it is quite difficult for him to fail......
It is rumored that after Wang Wei saw the old man's film review, he blurted out a sentence of ""-
"I don't dare to blow it like that myself!"
……
It's another day of lazy stamping~~~
