China Entertainment Mythology 2004

Chapter 182 Box office, everyone in the circle is stunned
"What do you think of this movie?" Li Xiujie asked, rubbing his cheeks that hurt from laughing.

Zhang Leyu glanced at the other audience, and said: "I don't think there is anything too brilliant, but look, the whole theater is laughing like crazy, I hope it will be so funny in the future."

Li Xiujie nodded.

At this time, the movie plot continued.

Xu Lang and Wang Bao met Gao Bo when they got off the elevator. In order to get rid of Gao Bo, Xu Lang tricked Wang Bao into stealing Gao Bo's passport.

But there is always a reason for people to steal passports, so Xu Lang lied to Wang Bao that he had slept with Gao Bo's wife.

Xu Langbiao said, "Because I gave him a cuckold."

Wang Bao widened his eyes and said, "Did you put him to sleep?"

Xu Lang corrected speechlessly: "I slept with his wife."

Wang Bao repeated: "Did you sleep with his wife?"

Xu Lang: "It was his wife who seduced me first."

Wang Bao continued to repeat: "It was his wife who seduced you first?"

Xu Lang: "His wife and I are true love."

Wang Bao still repeated: "Are you and his wife true love?"

……

Many viewers hadn’t recovered from the elevator shemale episode just now, but soon another super hilarious episode came up. Watching the question and answer of this pair of live treasures, the theater went crazy with laughter again. .

Especially when Wang Bao asked the phrase "Did you sleep with him?" in a serious manner, and Xu Lang helplessly corrected "I slept with his wife", the female audience in the theater were completely shocked. Let go of yourself, the laughter even overwhelmed the male audience at the scene.

And this is not over, the process of Wang Bao stealing the passport immediately after that is full of jokes.

Knock off the ashtray and catch it with your feet.

Gao Bo came in front of him and saw that he was spotted, but when the camera turned, Gao Bo put on a mask and cucumber slices on his eyes.

Whether it's Xu Lang hiding under the bed of two transsexuals and a white man and suffering, or Wang Bao massaging Gao Bo with the technique of frying scallion pancakes, almost every small plot can make the entire theater laugh.

After getting the location of Lao Zhou's temple, Xu Lang took the opportunity to get rid of Wang Bao, but Wang Bao ran into Gao Bo as soon as he turned around.Then, Wang Bao began to persuade Gao Bo.

"Well, you can't just blame him for this kind of thing. My mother said that a slap can't be slapped." In the car, Wang Bao said so solemnly.

Gao Bo replied while driving: "Life is like a game of chess. It's not sure who will have the last laugh, but I've long been used to this kind of thing."

The two said their own things, and the laughter was full!

"Are you used to it? That means your wife has a problem!"

"None of my wife's business!"

"It was your wife who seduced him first."

"what?"

"It's true love!"

"what?"

"But don't worry, I have made him swear that he will never cuckold you again."

It's terrible.

At this moment, the entire auditorium was boiling, and almost everyone was laughing.

Wang Baoqiang's acting skills are back to basics, and Huang Bo's acting skills are also second to none in China.

Wang Baoqiang said the cuckold's lies made up by Xu Lang in a serious manner, while Huang Bo answered his grievances with Xu Lang in a self-contained manner.

boom!
Combined for an explosive joke!

I don't know how many times the entire movie theater burst into laughter, and some audience members even burst into tears.

Xu Lang broke into the underworld territory by mistake, and Wang Baohuang Bo approached Xu Lang, which caused a series of chaos.

"Are you trying to dump me?"

"We slept in the same room last night!"

When Wang Bao questioned Xu Lang, it was as if his girlfriend was questioning her scumbag boyfriend. The contrast of identities made the plot full of wit and laughter.

Wang Bao and Xu Lang drove away, but Gao Bo was caught by the underworld, and then he called his wife under the control of the underworld.

"Xiaoman, two things, first you send me some money."

"Damn neck, where did you die?!"

"I'm telling you, don't talk to me in this tone. We'll talk about some things when we go back."

"Tell me what it is."

"You know what it is!"

"what do you know?"

"What happened to Xu Lang?"

"What happened to Xu Lang?"

"I asked you whose child is it?"

"You fart!"

……

Huang Bo's acting skills here are superb, the small expression of grievance, the sad background music, it is full of drama everywhere, and the worse Huang Bo is abused, the harder the audience in the theater laughs.

It's really the kind that can make people laugh out of their internal injuries.

Is the plot setting here clever?
In fact, not necessarily!
So far, three of the episodes where the audience laughed the worst revolved around the "green hat" on Huang Bo's head.

When Xu Lang made up nonsense to Wang Bao, the audience laughed badly once; when Wang Bao persuaded Gao Bo, the audience laughed badly again; and when Gao Bo called his wife, the audience laughed badly again.

A "green hat" stalk connects three hilarious spots in series. It seems that the jokes are very common, but you can't stand it, and the common people really love to watch this.

This is the same as Lao Guo always making jokes about Yu Qian's family. Many people scolded the bad vulgarity, but the audience's response was good.

It's the same when it comes to "Lost in Thailand", the jokes are not advanced, but the faces of the audience are indeed laughing so hard that they are about to cramp.

As Xu Lang gave up the oil tyrant and returned to his family, many audiences realized that the movie had come to an end, and audiences began to express their reluctance in the theater.

"It's beautiful, it's coming to an end, I haven't seen enough."

"Laughing so hard, I feel like I laughed more than a year. I haven't seen such a pure comedy in so many years. It's just that the time is too short to watch!"

"Li Mu should write more comedy scripts in the future. Other comedies are hard to tickle you, but the comedies written by Li Mu can really make people laugh to death."

"Wang Bao is the biggest surprise, Shen Teng's comedy talent is beyond the table, and Huang Bo's acting skills are also very good. I feel that this series can continue to be filmed."

"It's too short, it should be longer."

No matter how reluctant the audience is, it can't change the fact that the movie is about to end.

When Wang Bao was making scallion pancakes, he suddenly received a call from Xu Lang. The item on his wish list to go to the beach was not fulfilled. Xu Lang said he would take pictures for him to make up for it.

As a result, Xu Lang actually invited Liu Yifei and Wang Bao to take a photo.

When Liu Yifei appeared on the stage, many people in the theater couldn't help but "wow".

In fact, many viewers came here because of Liu Yifei. Everyone already knew that Liu Yifei had a cameo role of about 1 minute in the movie.

But how many people still remember this after seeing this meeting!

I have long forgotten it in the continuous burst of laughter.

As a result, when Liu Yifei suddenly appeared on the stage, many audience members were stunned.

The most amazing thing is that after the previous series of foreshadowing, Liu Yifei's appearance is extremely clever and fits the plot.

So this scene is the biggest surprise of the whole movie.

Originally, the previous plot had made everyone laugh enough, laughing crazy, and felt that it was worth the fare, but with the protagonist Xu Lang returning to the family, Wang Bao continued to make his scallion pancakes, and everyone felt that it would be fine to wait until the end , there should be nothing too interesting.

What happened?

In the end, the director came up with another big job——Liu Yifei played herself in her true colors!
The movie is over.

Li Xiujie and Zhang Leyu walked out of the theater together with the crowd, Li Xiujie suddenly said: "My cheeks hurt from laughing."

Zhang Leyu said: "Me too."

"If Chinese comedy movies can be made like this, I will be very satisfied." Li Xiujie said.

Zhang Leyu said: "This request is too much. There are not many people who can write such a good comedy script."

Li Xiujie said: "But Li Mu himself doesn't have time to shoot a script of this level. They want to shoot "Inception" and "Gravity"!"

Zhang Leyu said: "It's hard to imagine what Huaxia Film would be like without Li Mu."

The other audience around the two were also discussing the plot just now.

"That's right, it's funnier than expected."

"It's awesome. Although I know the movie is not perfect, I just can't stop laughing."

"I feel that the plot is not as good as the first one, but the jokes are much denser than the first one."

"The biggest surprise of the whole night was Liu Yifei, it can be said that there was no pee point in the whole process!"

……

After dinner, Li Mu lay down on the bed, and then asked Liu Yifei to give him a massage.

"Honey, come here!"

"what."

"My whole body is sore, give me a massage."

"Where would I be?"

"You ride on me first."

"Okay, then what?"

"Then you just knead it for me the way you knead dough."

Liu Yifei rolled up his sleeves and was about to start, but stopped immediately when he heard the words.

"Knead the dough? I don't even know how to do it!"

"Okay then, you can knead as you please!"

……

Ten minutes later, Li Mu yawned and said, "I'm sleepy."

Liu Yifei got off him: "The box office of "Lost in Thailand" came out on the first day in the early morning, are you waiting?"

Li Mu yawned again, turned over and covered himself with a quilt, and said, "What am I waiting for that thing, it won't lose a dime when I watch it tomorrow morning."

Liu Yifei put his face next to Li Mu's and asked, "I'll search the Internet for a massage video tutorial and download it later. I'll press it for you after I learn it."

"No!" Li Mu objected.

Liu Yifei asked puzzledly: "Why? What's wrong?"

Li Mu said: "Go online and download massage videos. I'm afraid that if you accidentally download it—a virus."

Liu Yifei didn't believe it: "It's not that I don't know how to surf the Internet, besides, there are anti-virus software on the computer."

Li Mu said: "Let me just say it straight, I have downloaded the 'Thai Full Body Massage Video Tutorial' before."

Liu Yifei: "And then? What happened?"

At this time Li Mu leaned close to Liu Yifei and whispered something in Liu Yifei's ear, and then Liu Yifei giggled and crawled into Li Mu's bed.

"Is the video still available?"

"Deleted, sleep!"

……

In the morning, when Li Mu opened his eyes, he saw Liu Yifei was getting dressed. He couldn't help boasting: "It's no wonder that she is the woman I'm looking for, even without makeup is so beautiful."

Liu Yifei gave Li Mu a blank look, then simply tied up the loose hair and ran to the dressing room.

At this moment, Li Mu casually picked up the mobile phone placed by the bed.

At [-]:[-] last night, China Film Group sent the data of the first day of "Lost in Thailand" to his mobile phone, and he clicked on it casually.

This is the box office data collected by the Special Fund Office, and it is also the most accurate box office data.

The real-time box office figures of platforms such as Later Maoyan rely on the ticket sales data of their own platforms, and then estimate the approximate box office figures through a set of complex calculation formulas. The accuracy is not the same as that provided by China Film Group.

Li Mu's eyes quickly scanned the email, and then his eyes finally landed on the line of numbers.

"11500 yuan."

Li Mu stared.

"It actually broke [-] million, and the box office broke [-] million on the first day. This is - broke my own first-day box office record and single-day box office record?!"

After a while, he opened Weibo and posted a text:
"The movie #《人在囧路之泰囧》# had a box office of 1.12 million yuan on the first day, breaking the first-day box office record in the Chinese market. Congratulations to director Shen Junsheng, congratulations to Shen Teng, Baoqiang, Huang Bo and all other actors and actors in front of and behind the scenes staff of."

Finally, a promotional poster of "Lost in Thailand" was posted.

After finishing these, Li Mu put down his phone and got up to get dressed.

At this time, Li Mu's Weibo fans had reached nearly ten million, and his influence should not be underestimated. Many people in the circle followed his Weibo. With the release of this Weibo, a storm was about to come.

In the morning, director Feng Xiaogang picked up his mobile phone after waking up, and then checked Weibo as usual.

Seeing that someone in the watch list updated Weibo, he clicked on it casually.

"The box office of "Lost in Thailand" on the first day——"

Feng Xiaogang regained his energy all of a sudden, he rubbed his eyes unconsciously, for fear that he might have misread it.

"Ten million million, eleven thousand five million... million—1.15 million? Wrong? How is it possible! It's even higher than the single-day box office record created by a movie directed by Li Mu himself?"

"Maybe the data is wrong, wait until noon to see if it will be corrected."

"It's so much higher than my "Great Earthquake"? How is this possible?! With an investment of 2000 million, the box office on the first day was 1.15 million, and the profit in one day exceeded the cost by twice?"

Directors such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen, and many other domestic directors also saw this Weibo, and everyone's instinctive reaction was also surprisingly consistent, almost immediately thinking that Li Mu wrote the wrong number.

Small cost, not directed by Li Mu himself, grossed 1.15 million on the first day!
To be honest, everyone couldn't accept it.

It would be fine if Li Mu had this grade.

After all, Li Mu is a top international director who has won the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director.

After all, his movies have almost swept the world in recent years, and two of his works are among the top ten movies in the world.

Losing to Li Mu, the big directors of the older generation can still barely balance their hearts.

But, Shen Junsheng?

This is a puppet director who is so lucky, has a solid foundation but average creativity, and always follows Li Mu's storyboard.But now, is it the box office of this puppet director's works that can overwhelm the big directors of the older generation like them?

Although it has been said since ancient times that the waves behind have pushed the waves ahead, but...

Shen Junsheng?
Why?

Among the actors, Song Qi was the first to forward Weibo, followed by Gao Yuanyuan, followed by Fan Binbin, Tong Liya, Bai Bing, Yang Mi, Shen Teng, Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo, Huang Xiaoming, Hu Ge, Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Chen Musheng and so on.

After reposting, most people temporarily put down what they were doing to think about it.

Everyone is a very ambitious person, looking at these dizzying box office figures, almost everyone's mood has been greatly impacted.

Soon Li Mu's father Li Yuansheng and mother Liu Xiaohui also reposted Weibo, followed by Liu Yifei with tens of millions of fans, who had just finished putting on her makeup.Then there is the official Weibo of "People in Lost Journey: Thailand". The official Weibo also added a carefully crafted happy announcement.

Shen Junsheng didn't sleep all night.

He originally planned to sleep until he received the box office data, but he never expected that the box office of "Lost in Thailand" would exceed [-] million on the first day!

1.15 billion, what is this concept?
Director Li Mu, who is as famous as Spielberg and James Cameron, is the director he respects the most. Counting all his films, the first-day box office of the domestic part is only 9000 million, the highest single-day box office. That's 1 million zero points.

As a result, his own "Tai囧" directly won 1.15 million on Friday?
Do you want to be so exaggerated!Isn't this really a mistake in the statistics of the Special Fund Office?

At this moment, the entire entertainment industry was in a sensation, and everyone was discussing that the Chinese film industry had brought out a super dark horse after Li Mu!
In the past, no matter how impressive the box office results of "On the Journey" and "The Way to Steal the Key" were, the name people mentioned the most when discussing these films was always Li Mu, as if these films were directed by Li Mu himself.

But this time it was completely different.

This time, the three words "Shen Junsheng" finally got rid of the shadow that had been pressing on his head for a long time.

At the same time, most of the outsiders are talking about it, while the insiders are waiting for the data of "Lost in Thailand" tomorrow.

"Lost in Thailand" is indeed a very good movie, but its box office should never be so high!
An unreasonable box office must not be sustainable, so let's see today's box office performance!

Time flies and it becomes another day.

Soon, the box office of "Lost in Thailand" came out the next day.

"1.42 billion!"

At this moment, the entire entertainment circle, and even the entire Huaxia Internet, were almost completely dazzled by this box office figure.

"1.42 billion?"

"Even if the follow-up box office curve of "Lost in Thailand" is not as impressive as "Gravity", even if it is calculated using the model of general movies, it will go straight to the box office of 12 billion, right?"

"Is Li Mu really so awesome? I heard that director Shen Junsheng wrote a script himself, but was rejected by director Li Mu, and then director Li Mu threw out the current script casually, and the result was 2000 million yuan. The production cost, and the box office went straight to 12 billion?"

"What the fuck is the rate of return!"

To be honest, the entire entertainment circle was shocked at this moment.

Li Mu can throw out a script today and let an ordinary director directly kill all the big directors of the older generation. What if he starts training three or five "Shen Junsheng" tomorrow?

At that time, new directors who surpass the older generation of directors will be able to be produced in batches?

Just ask if you have a sense of crisis!
On the third day, "Lost in Thailand" had a national box office of 1.39 million. So far, the movie has been released for three days, with a cumulative box office of 3.96 million—almost 3 million in 4 days?
2000 million cost, 3 million cut in 4 days?
What else can you say?What else can I think about?

There is nothing to say, and there is nothing to think about, because I can't understand this shit at all!
Just this "Thailand Lost", is it so popular?

Why?
