Chapter 449 Graduation Season

Entering June, the summer season will start. On June 6 and July 6, "Hello, Stranger" and "The Witch" will be released successively.

The summer film comes from the United States. In the early days of domestic films, only the Lunar New Year film was the most important, because the time period and audience of the summer film required a mature film market to match.

Therefore, for many years, the summer vacation has been dominated by Hollywood blockbusters, and most other Chinese-language movies have taken the initiative to give in during this period.

It was not until 2009 that the mainland film market had a summer film for the first time, and it earned 13 billion box office within 17.3 weeks.

From the perspective of future generations, 17.3 billion box office is not much, but the total domestic box office in 2009 was only 62.2 billion, and 17.3 billion already accounted for 28% of the total annual box office. It became the golden period with the highest grossing film box office.

The popularity of last year's summer movies also made this year's movie summer extraordinarily lively. There are a total of forty or fifty movies competing for the summer slots. It can be said that the number is sufficient, the genre is rich, and there are many bad movies.

"Chunjiao and Zhiming", "Kung Fu Dream", "The Battle of Shama Town", "Xiyouji", "My Beautiful Boss", "Advertisement of Love", "Dragon Phoenix Shop" and many other bad movies, one There is nothing that can be played.

No, there is still a "Luanzhou Earthquake" that can be played.

"Luanzhou Earthquake" can be said to be the turning point of Feng Gangpao's prosperity and decline. This movie won 6.73 million box office, setting a box office record for domestic movies at that time, but since then he has started to go downhill. , The era of Feng's films has also passed.

Li Zhe put "The Witch" in theaters on July 7 just to avoid "Luanzhou Earthquake".

It's not that he's afraid of the other party, but with the current size of the domestic film market, there's no room for two blockbusters to collide, and doing so will only hurt both sides.

"The Witch" has been produced + advertised for 8000 million yuan. It is Quku Entertainment's first quasi-blockbuster, and there is no room for loss.

Li Zhe previously estimated that "The Witch" could be filmed for 4000 to [-] million yuan, but after the shooting, it was seriously over budget, and the special effects cost too much money, even though the special effects of this movie are not many.

The overspend of more than 2000 million yuan was unilaterally added by Quku Entertainment.

With an investment of 8000 million, it will take more than 2 million at the box office to pay back.

After the release of "Hello, Stranger" on June 6, the box office performance was mediocre. It won 18 million box office in one month, but failed to exceed 7900 million box office as Li Zhe expected.

It can only be said that Nini's ability to resist the box office is not strong.

However, Quku Entertainment also made a lot of money at the box office of 7900 million. The production + publicity of this small-cost youth road film is only a little over 2000 million, and the publicity is still a big one.

This is also Quku Entertainment's consistent style of attaching great importance to publicity and distribution. Sometimes the cost of publicity and distribution of a movie is higher than the production cost.

"The Witch" was released on July 7. As soon as the movie was released, it started the big kill mode, killing "Hi You Ji", "Unmanned Driving", "The King of Guns" and other films without the power to fight back.

上映首日票房3000万,单日最高票房5000万,3天破亿,4天1.5亿、6天破2亿、7天近3亿,12天破4亿,业内震惊。

Luan Xiaolin doesn't have much box office appeal. She, the first sister of Quku Entertainment, has only one representative work "Crazy Lottery". In terms of popularity, she is far inferior to Wang Zhining, Zhao Yuhuan, and even Nini is more popular than her .

"The Witch" became popular in the early stage, all thanks to the high reputation of Quku Entertainment, just like Feng's movies.

The good reputation accumulated by Quku Entertainment in the past two years has completely exploded, and the audience has high expectations for Quku Entertainment's super action blockbuster.

Coupled with the indiscriminate publicity of Quku Entertainment, many viewers are looking forward to the release of "The Witch".

And the quality of the film did not disappoint them. The early plot of "The Witch" was a bit flat, but the fighting in the middle and late stages was super-burning and super-cool, which made people's adrenalin soar.

This "Witch" can be said to be the first of its kind in China with super cool films, letting the audience know that domestic films can also produce blockbuster special effects films that are not inferior to Hollywood.

The audience was hooked, applauded and acclaimed.

Most of the media and film critics also spoke highly of "The Witch", calling it a domestic special effects blockbuster comparable to Hollywood.

Seeing that the movie was a big hit, Li Zhe once again added more than 2000 million yuan to increase publicity and fuel the box office.

21 days after its release, the box office of "The Witch" reached 5.7 million, breaking 6 million was imminent, and at this time "Luanzhou Earthquake" was released.

"Luanzhou Earthquake" won 3600 million box office on the first day of its release. The original daily box office dropped to 700 million.

However, not only "Luanzhou Earthquake" affected the box office of "Witch", "Luanzhou Earthquake" was even more affected.

The potential of the box office market is limited. The release of "The Witch" first consumed the enthusiasm of the audience in advance, and the box office of "Luanzhou Earthquake" will naturally be greatly affected.

Therefore, "Luanzhou Earthquake" barely won 5 million votes in the end, and Fahrenheit should have bought some box office, so that Feng Gangpao's 5 million box office boast was not slapped in the face.

Feng Gangpao was so angry that he directly bombarded Quku Entertainment, saying that some capital would do whatever they want just because they have money.

Li Zhe ignored Feng Gangpao, and it was a drop in price to talk to Feng Gangpao in his capacity.

On the contrary, Luan Xiaolin unceremoniously posted a sentence on Weibo, "If you are not as skilled as others, you just mess around. Is this a great director? I have really learned a lot!"

Other actresses may be concerned that the other party is a senior or a great director, but she doesn't care at all.

Luan Xiaolin's words caused a lot of waves in the industry. I don't know how many people were shocked. This is too bold!
Feng Gangpao was even more pissed off. He, a big director, was bullied by a young actress. He directly said that he wanted to block Luan Xiaolin.

However, this ban is just like a joke.

Luan Xiaolin is backed by Fundong Group, who in the industry would dare to block her?To block her is to offend Fundong Group.

What's the use of only Fahrenheit unilaterally blocking it?

On August 8, "The Witch" was released, and the box office could barely exceed 2 million.

In fact, the final box office was only more than 5.9 million, and Quku Entertainment bought 400 million box office.

It is a routine operation to buy and falsely report the box office in China, because everyone is doing it.

Of course, if you go too far and get exposed, it will be a scandal.

"Man on the Journey" and "The Witch", the box office of the two films exceeded 6 million within a year, making Quku Entertainment extremely popular, and it also faintly replaced Fahrenheit in the hearts of the audience, becoming the most powerful private film and television in China company.

China Film, Guangxian and other companies that participated in the investment of "The Witch" are also extremely happy.

In particular, Guangxian is now in a critical period of listing, and the box office of "The Witch" has exploded, which has increased the company's valuation.

And Luan Xiaolin became famous in the first battle with "The Witch", and directly climbed from outside the third line to the quasi-first line position.

In 2010, the box office of the movie broke 6 million, which is equivalent to 50 billion box office ten years later, and the influence can be imagined.

The domestic box office market was only 10 billion in 100 years, but it exceeded 18 billion in 600.

Not to mention that "The Witch" is one of the rare special effects blockbusters with a leading heroine, the whole movie is almost a one-man show by Luan Xiaolin alone.

When "Running Man" started broadcasting, and with the blessing of popularity, her front-line position was basically stable.

I don't know how many female artists are envious and jealous of Luan Xiaolin, even Liu Yufei, Yang Fun, Zhao Yuhuan, Nini and the others are the same.

"The Witch" is such a good resource, anyone who gets it will be popular.

It is not people who make plays, but plays who make people.

Luan Xiaolin also felt like she was falling into a dream when it came to becoming popular. Before she saw Wang Zhining, Zhao Yuhuan, and Nini becoming popular one by one, she wanted to say that she was not in a hurry, that was impossible.

Now she is finally popular, and has jumped to the front line, completely overshadowing Wang Zhining, Zhao Yuhuan and others, and has become a veritable company's first sister.

This also made Luan Xiaolin extremely grateful to Li Zhe, she could only repay her kindness with her body.

She messed around with Li Zhe all night, showing great enthusiasm, obedience, and doing whatever she pleases.

……

At the end of June, both Xiao Qiao and Liu Kaiyue returned to Hongcheng to take the final exam which lasted for more than 6 days.

This is also the last official exam for the two of them.

In the senior year, there are basically no classes. The school will only arrange a few employment-related courses, but they may not take them. The most important thing is to take the practice certificate and find a job through internships.

As long as you can find a job, don't hold back the school's employment rate.

At the beginning of July, Shen Xinyi also went back to school.

However, she is not here to take the exam, but to get a diploma.

She graduated from a junior college this year.

……

On July 7th, the wind was beautiful and the sun was just right.

On the campus of the Teachers College, there are students taking graduation photos everywhere. In front of the dormitory building, beside the artificial lake, under the school motto monument, etc., as long as it is a commemorative place, it has become the location for the graduates.

Xiao Qiao walked out of the teaching building with Bai Wei, Zhang Qiong, and Zhang You carrying a small schoolbag.

They had just passed their final exam at the end of term.

Xiao Qiao said worriedly: "I feel that this test is not good, I wonder if I will fail it?"

She put all her energy into preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, and didn't do much exam review.

Hearing this, Zhang You couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.

Failure?With Li Zhe's face, which teacher will let you fail?
Even if you don't come to the exam, you probably won't fail.

On the contrary, she has two or three courses and needs to take make-up exams.

Zhang You didn't care much about studying, and after becoming an anchor, he didn't care much.

If she didn't give gifts to clear up the relationship, she would have passed more than two or three courses, and it is very likely that she would not even get a degree certificate.

Zhang Qiong looked at the graduates wearing academic uniforms and taking pictures not far away, and said with a sigh: "Time flies so fast, the junior year is over in a blink of an eye, and we should graduate next year."

Liu Li and Shen Man also showed expressions of exclamation, "Yes, time flies so fast!"

……

In front of the library, Shen Xinyi and three or four girls were taking graduation photos.

Although Shen Xinyi and the others also rented academic uniforms, they were only for taking pictures.

These junior college students do not have a degree, so they cannot participate in the fringe picking ceremony like undergraduate students.

A girl noticed that Shen Xinyi was looking in the direction of the teaching building, and couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what are you looking at?"

Shen Xin looked away, smiled and said, "It's nothing, let's continue taking pictures!"

After taking seven or eight photos, Shen Xin and the others left the library and walked towards the north gate of the school, planning to take a few more photos at the gate.

They walked and talked.

"Time flies, and we will be graduating in a blink of an eye."

"I still remember that during the freshman military training, my aunt met Li Zhe and was sent back to the dormitory, as if it happened yesterday."

"At that time, Li Zhe didn't seem to have started his business, but now he is already a billionaire, and we have to worry about finding a job after graduation. There is really no comparison between people."

"It's better to be obedient and lucky to meet such a good boyfriend as Li Zhe."

Having said that, they all set their eyes on Shen Xinyi.

It has been two years since Zhou Ziyu transferred to another school. As a batch of old students graduated and new students entered school, the incident of the two daughters fighting for husband has long been forgotten by people.

Even many freshmen, freshmen and sophomores didn't know about Zhou Ziyu's existence, let alone Shen Xinyi, who had always kept a low profile.

However, as Shen Xinyi's roommates, the girls are very aware of what happened to Shen Xinyi and Li Zhe before.

Last year, they all went to Fundong Group for internships.

……

Ye Shan and a few classmates are also taking graduation photos at the Aeronautical Academy near the Teachers College.

Ye Shan was one of the first batch of 36 game promoters of Funwan Technology. She and Luan Xiaolin were at odds, and even questioned Li Zhe as a liar.

However, she witnessed with her own eyes that Fundong, from a small company, developed step by step into a large entertainment group with many subsidiaries and a market value of several billion.

I also witnessed with my own eyes that Luan Xiaolin has gradually become a star from a small actor, and recently there is a trend of skyrocketing.

Ye Shan worked as a game promoter, as an actor, and later switched to short videos.

But she has been around for so long, but it is still difficult to get ahead. Up to now, she is just a small anchor with 10,000+ fans, not as good as Zhang You.

At least Zhang You is willing to let go, and he has the means to win over his elder brother.

Not to mention that Ye Shan couldn't give up, she had a bad temper, and when she met a big brother occasionally, she would offend her and run away.

Looking at Luan Xiaolin not far away, who was surrounded by classmates like stars holding the moon for a group photo, a girl beside Ye Shan sighed enviously, "I never imagined that our school could produce a big star."

In the past two years, Luan Xiaolin can be said to be the most famous figure in this vocational college, an ordinary junior college student who has become a star.

And after the release of "The Witch" exploded recently, even ordinary people realized that Luan Xiaolin was going to be popular, and she was really going to become a big star.

The school even listed her as a well-known alumni in advance.

For an ordinary vocational school, a popular star is considered a representative well-known alumni.

This time Luan Xiaolin went back to school to attend the graduation ceremony and received her graduation certificate. The classmates and teachers took her to take a group photo with her.

There is a big star classmate or student, and it is a very face-saving thing to tell.

Ye Shan also glanced in Luan Xiaolin's direction, and said mockingly, "If Li Zhe hadn't been born in the Teachers College next door, our school wouldn't have had the chance to produce such a big star."

What big star?That Luan Xiaolin just fell asleep by seducing Li Zhe.

She was full of unwillingness and jealousy.
