China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 463 461. Avatar’s box office storm, some people are jealous (5-in-, K)

The three of them ate and drank, and soon the food and a whole bottle of wine on the table were wiped out. When they were happy, they opened another bottle.

"Brother, I'm so happy tonight."

After drinking more than half of the second bottle, Yang Mi blushed and pretended to drink too much. She put her hand directly on Cao Yu's shoulder and started talking while drinking: "Brother, I have actually liked you for a long time. I have been looking forward to one day. Day, I can be like Sissi."

"This girl is fine with five or six bottles of beer. How can you be so drunk with less than one bottle of red wine? It seems that the training of her acting skills in the past few years has been in vain."

Cao Yu felt happy in his heart and praised Yang Mi's acting skills, but he began to say vaguely: "Mimi, I know you like me, but it's a pity that I have Cissie. I can only treat you as my sister. We just In the next life..."

Liu Yifei also drank a lot and was a little tipsy, but she was still sane.

Hearing my best friend's confession and Cao Yu's words, I was a little embarrassed, but also a little moved, so I hurriedly said: "Mimi, you are drunk, I will help you to rest."

"This... where did this happen? At the beginning, I could still drink, brother, open another bottle. Don't be reluctant to part with it."

Yang Mi planned to continue the drama to the end and pushed Liu Yifei away: "I don't want you to help me. I haven't drunk enough. This wine is good. I want to get drunk with the man I like."

As he said that, he poured another glass of wine and said staggeringly: "Whoever falls down first after doing this is the puppy."

"Mimi, you are really drunk."

Seeing Yang Mi like this, Liu Yifei tried her best to help her up: "I'll take you to bed."

"I don't want your help!"

Yang Mi pushed Liu Yifei away again: "I want my brother to help me."

After saying that, he put his arms around Cao Yu's shoulders and kissed him hard on the face.

"."

Liu Yifei didn't expect that Yang Mi would be so bold when she was drunk. If she had known it, she would not have allowed Cao Yu to get Yang Mi drunk.

"Okay, I'll help you."

Cao Yu also took the opportunity to stand up, holding his shoulders with one hand and Yang Mi's waist with the other, staggering towards the bedroom, turning back to Liu Yifei and saying: "Qianxi, wait for me in the room for a while, I'll be back soon.

"Ok."

Liu Yifei had no choice but to watch Cao Yu and Yang Mi leave and went to a bedroom to wait for Cao Yu to come back.

But she didn't see Cao Yu come back after waiting for ten minutes. She quickly went to another bedroom and heard the two talking.

"Brother, can you stay with me tonight? I really like you and I want to be your woman."

"I like you too, but Sissi is still next door, we can't..."

"Why not? I won't let you go anyway, brother, I want you to hold me to sleep tonight."

Yang Mi's words were actually from her heart. She really wanted to keep Cao Yu and let her best friend accept her existence.

Liu Yifei heard the conversation between the two and was really afraid that Cao Yu would stay here at night. She just pushed the door open a crack and stopped immediately when she saw the situation inside.

On the big bed in the room, Yang Mi was hugging Cao Yu tightly, as if she didn't want to let go.

Her boyfriend was also lying on top of Yang Mi. Although they were wearing clothes, the two of them were completely stuck together.

"Why are they hugging each other so tightly?"

But thinking of Yang Mi's confession, Liu Yifei hesitated again.

It mainly depends on the situation that the two of them cannot be separated.

My boyfriend is too good. Even if Yang Mi doesn't succeed this time, he will definitely not be able to stop her next time.

"It's not easy for Mimi to tell the truth after drinking."

After hesitating for a moment, she turned around and backed out, closing the door.

"Brother Cao Yu, if you have Mimi, don't forget me and don't marry her."

Saying something silently in her heart, she returned to the room, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Next door, Yang Mi felt that Liu Yifei had left on her own, and immediately showed a sly smile: "Brother, everyone has left, and your plan has failed."

"What's the failure? You didn't realize that Sissi has accepted you."

In Cao Yu's plan, when Liu Yifei came to the room and saw Yang Mi in this condition, as his girlfriend, he should come over to persuade him to go back, and then he would take advantage of the drunkenness to keep her too.

He didn't expect Liu Yifei to leave like this, which was a bit beyond his expectation.

Although a little disappointed, it is already a great improvement for Liu Yifei to accept Yang Mi.

"Indeed, from now on we can be together openly."

Yang Mi also nodded, then smiled and said: "Do you really want to put the two of us together?"

"Am looking forward to."

Around Yang Mi, Cao Yu didn't need to hide and tuck in. He just wanted to think about it without any shame.

"I knew you had bad intentions. Although I feel embarrassed, I really want to compete with Sissi."

"Compared to what?"

"Compare the figure!"

"You are using your own strengths to attack others' weaknesses, and you cannot win with force!"

"I am not as tall as you."

"Naughty."

Late at night, Cao Yu subdued Yang Mi and coaxed her to sleep. He quietly got up and went to the next room. As soon as he opened the door, he heard Liu Yifei's faint voice.

"Brother Cao Yu, is that you?"

"It's me, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Wait for you."

Liu Yifei felt a familiar breath lying next to her and whispered: "This is Mimi's first time, why don't you stay with her more? Doesn't she want you to hold her to sleep?"

"What's the first time? It's been so many times. She was with me earlier than you."

Cao Yu murmured in his heart, held Liu Yifei in his arms, and said, "I'm afraid you won't be happy, Sissi, have you accepted Mimi?"

Liu Yifei huddled in her boyfriend's arms and said softly: "I have stayed in Miguo for a few years, and I will destroy you this time, and there will be a next time."

"Sissi, you are so kind. Are you really not jealous?"

"I was a little sad at first, but when I think about you being in the entertainment industry, I get really jealous. I'll either kill myself or break up."

Liu Yifei kissed Cao Yu on the face: "But I love you and can't let you go, so I can only accept it. Maybe Brother Cao Yu can treat me better."

"You are really sober in the world."

Cao Yu sighed with emotion and said: "Don't worry, I will be better to you, but can you change into Avatar's clothes and show me?"

"You haven't forgotten?"

Liu Yifei sat up with a smile and actually put on the Avatar costume in front of Cao Yu.

Cao Yu looked at the cute "Avatar sister" in front of him and immediately threw her on the bed: "Now I am the protagonist Jack. What I want is the Avatar. Let's connect our souls."

Soon, the two of them were in the room, performing a scene not seen in the movie.

The next morning, Huayi.

"Is that an exaggeration?"

When the Wang Zhongjun brothers received the first-day box office data for "Avatar," they looked in disbelief.

The first-day box office of 92 million was completely unexpected.

This is still the first day. If it falls on a weekend, will the box office data be incredible?

"When Universal Cinema spent huge sums of money to introduce the IMAX giant screen, the industry was not optimistic about it. It turns out that this guy Cao Yu had already planned it."

More than half of the box office on the first day came from IMAX theaters.

There are currently 136 IMAX screens in the country, 100 of which are owned by Universal Pictures. How much can they earn this time?

Wang Zhongjun didn't even want to think about it.

“I feel bad when I see him making money!”

Wang Zhonglei roughly estimated in his mind that Huanyu Pictures' profit for this day was tens of millions, which was simply too irritating.

"This man is a bit scary. If he hadn't made a mess in our Beijing circle, I really wouldn't want to be his enemy."

Wang Zhongjun rubbed his temples and said after a while: "I will immediately contact Mr. Ma of Ahri, and we will post some bad reviews of this film online together. I must not make him too proud!"

At this time, almost all online comments about "Avatar" are positive.

"What a cross-generational movie, a leap in 3D movie technology."

"This is a real special effects blockbuster. The movie lasts for more than two hours and brings an unparalleled physical experience to people."

"Just two words: shocking, super visual and auditory enjoyment!"

"Especially when the music of the final battle started, I got goosebumps all over. If it weren't for the difficulty in buying tickets, I would definitely watch it again."

"The screenwriter's name also includes Boss Cao's name. How can the movie not be good?"

With such comments, the popularity of this movie has also increased extremely.

Unexpectedly, not long after the box office came out, some different comments quickly appeared on the Internet.

"Isn't this the story of the demolition team and the nail-biting households?"

"Except for the special effects, this film has no merits. The story is simple and has no connotation." "A film with no educational significance can be called a blockbuster? It is just a commercial film and it is still so popular? I don't want to watch it at all!"

“What’s so interesting about a story about human traitors!”

"I admit that "Avatar" did very well at the box office, but this is just a movie showing off special effects."

"Although the IMAX giant screen is very effective, is it really worth the one or two hundred movie tickets? Are we Chinese people so rich already?"

……

As soon as this comment came out, it immediately attracted a lot of criticism.

"What about demolition and nailing down houses? This is a conflict between colonists and indigenous people, okay?"

"Even if the story is simple, the special effects and viewing experience are worth the 200 yuan ticket price. The IMAX effect is simply amazing!"

"Watch it if you like it, or go away if you don't! Just don't have to compete with me for tickets!"

……

July 11th was a Saturday, and Cao Yu was still immersed in the tenderness of "Sister Avatar". Due to being a little tired at the end of the day, he didn't get up until midnight.

Suddenly, a burst of cell phone ringing woke him up.

"Who?"

Cao Yu grabbed the phone impatiently.

"I, Shu Xue."

Yang Shuxue's voice sounded a little anxious on the phone: "There are a lot of negative comments about "Avatar" on the Internet. You should be familiar with this movie. How do you respond?"

"negative comment?"

Cao Yu sat up immediately. The movie "Avatar" did have some negative reviews after its release, but they were only a few and could not reach a large scale. Is anyone jealous? Come out to set the pace?

"Don't worry, I'll take a look first and tell you later."

He opened Weibo and read the bad reviews, and then looked around Tieba and other platforms, becoming more convinced of his conjecture.

Although there was a lot of criticism under these comments, many people did not get to the point of the criticism.

"Are you unhappy seeing me making money? Haha."

Cao Yu looked at these comments, sneered, went to the study room, turned on the computer, quickly wrote a copy, and sent it to Yang Shuxue.

After sending the email, he continued to look through the comments: "It's probably either Ah Li or Huayi who is behind this. Haha, if you don't come up with some tricks, you guys really think that I, Cao Yu, am easy to talk to!"

Not long after Yang Shuxue received Cao Yu's copywriting, a film review about "Avatar" appeared on Weibo and Tieba.

"Why did the United States launch a war against Iraq? For what? For oil! And in the Avatar movie, why people on earth launched a war was not because of their priceless superconducting ore. If this ore was replaced by oil, wouldn't it very familiar?"

"In Western values, if you have something we want in your hands, then we will turn you into enemies! This is the value of Western predators."

""Avatar" tells a simple story, but it is definitely not a bad story. The movie not only tells us that we must rise up and resist in the face of invasion!"

"In the movie, is the male protagonist really a traitor? In the movie, humans are greedy and barbaric. They want your things, but as long as you resist, you are wrong! You are a thug!"

"Is this a bad story? Think about China over the past hundred years, maybe you will understand!"

"If you still want to lick, think again of the Indians!"

This film review is like a bomb, causing those who shouted that this is a bad movie to be slapped in the face and shut up immediately.

Even if I wanted to refute, I couldn't find an excuse.

If I say more, that’s just not correct.

Under the operation of Huanyu's public relations team, this film review was quickly reposted by countless people. Everyone finally understood that "Avatar" is not just about good-looking special effects.

Affected by this, the reputation of "Avatar" has skyrocketed again. As long as theaters dare to schedule movies, movie tickets will be sold out.

In the entire Chinese film market, it was hard to get a ticket like it was when "Hero" was released seven years ago. Almost all theaters were full, creating a storm of "Avatar" viewing.

On Saturday, the daily box office of "Avatar" directly exceeded 100 million!

On Sunday, the box office even broke the single-day box office record set by "Despicable Me", with a revenue of 120 million!

China Film.

"There are so many negative comments, and they appear at such an odd time. Let me check them right away!"

"Avatar" was introduced by China Film Group Corporation and is considered a box office share movie. Chairman Han Sanping was a little angry when he saw these negative comments.

If the audience is really swayed by these negative reviews, it will definitely have an impact on the box office, which is not good for the company.

"Fortunately, there is that movie review. I don't know who wrote it. The copywriting is pretty good."

After his subordinates left, Han Sanping read this sharp comment again, when the phone rang.

"Director Han, I am Xiao Cao."

"Xiao Cao, is something wrong?"

"Congratulations to Director Han, the box office of "Avatar" has exceeded 100 million for two days in a row."

"Haha, Xiao Cao, are you here to show off? You are one of the investors in this film. The current global box office has already reached 300 million U.S. dollars. You will definitely earn more than China Film Group by then."

"How dare I show off to you?"

Cao Yu smiled and said, "Director Han, I'm actually calling you to tell you that I wrote the popular movie review about "Avatar" on the Internet."

Han Sanping was startled and said with a smile: "Did you write it? It's good. It seems that the box office has been rising, and it's all thanks to you."

"There is nothing I can do. I also asked people to check the sources of those negative comments. Most of the IPs are in Hangzhou, and a small part are from Yanjing. Director Han, there is nothing I can do. We have been doing IMAX in Huanyu these years. The movie theater has spent hundreds of millions, which can be considered a contribution to the development of Chinese films, but some people don’t like us."

Cao Yu just said that it was not easy for him, but Han Sanping heard it and immediately understood what Cao Yu meant.

Hangzhou is Ahri's territory, and Ahri is very close to Huayi. It's clear who made those comments.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Xiao Cao, what do you want me to do?"

"How dare I ask Director Han to do anything?"

Cao Yu smiled: "I'm just telling you the results I found out."

"I see."

Han Sanping nodded immediately, hung up the phone, leaned on his chair, and sneered: "Haha, Huayi went a little too far this time."

Shaking his head, he picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"The Wind is going to be censored? Why? It was no problem before, so why is it being censored now?"

At Huayi, Wang Zhongjun was completely confused when he received a call from the leader of radio and television.

"The Wind" is Huayi's most important spy movie this year. It is scheduled to be released in September. It has already begun to promote it in the media and major theaters. Why did the leader suddenly say censorship and postpone the release plan.

"There are too many bloody scenes in your film. It is said that it will cause discomfort to the audience and needs to be re-edited and deleted."

After the leader only gave this answer, he didn't bother to say more and hung up the phone.

"A lot of bloody scenes? This is what attracts attention. Besides, foreign blockbusters are much more bloody than this one!"

Wang Zhongjun sat on the chair, unable to react for a moment.

"Did I offend someone?"

He thought for a moment and felt that this was the reason. He quickly picked up the phone and called Han Sanping.

But the reply was that this was a decision from above and Huayi would wait for the result.

Wang Zhongjun still didn't want to give up, so he called the distributor, Shanghai Film Studio, but after some hard work, the result remained unchanged at all.

Feiyu Entertainment.

Cao Yu called Yang Shuxue in the office: "Shu Xue, please, let Huayi suffer a little this time!"

"I just called a few elders, mainly because you have a good relationship with Director Han."

Yang Shuxue smiled modestly: "I have been busy with theater matters these past two days. The box office has dropped slightly today. It is not very busy. Do you want to have dinner together tonight?"

"Okay, I'll go there when I'm done."

Cao Yu happily agreed. This meal has a lot of meaning.

In the evening, after dinner, the two of them sat in the courtyard drinking tea and chatting.

Yang Shuxue: "Husband, you have had problems with Huayi before, but you have been too lazy to ignore them. Why did you really do it this time? You asked me to help?"

Cao Yu: "Although there were some minor conflicts before, when it comes to making money, we have always been doing our own thing. This time they actually want to make money from us, so we have to be rude!"

"That's true."

Yang Shuxue nodded: "If they were really allowed to take the lead online, the box office would definitely have an impact."

"These two brothers, as well as Mr. Ma, don't like me making money. They hacked "Avatar" and wanted to affect the box office results. Didn't they think that China Film would be happy?"

Cao Yu smiled slightly: "I would like to see when their brothers will come to beg me."

"It's probably going to be soon."

Yang Shuxue smiled and said, "By the way, when are you going to Han Bang?"

"July 25th, but I'll be back in a few weeks at most."

Cao Yu said, glanced in the direction of Huayi Brothers, and said, "I don't know if they would have thought that I did this before I left."
