Actor: My Entertainment Era

"Bye bye," Zhang Yuanjun taught the two children to bow and say "Happy New Year" after dinner.

But the two siblings learned very poorly and it was not obvious that they were bowing to wish a happy new year.

"It's a little difficult for you to pay New Year's greetings. You should learn how to receive red envelopes." Zhang Yuanjun took out two empty red envelopes and said, "You have to receive them with both hands, okay?"

The two siblings didn't care about all that and just licked the red envelopes.

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said, "You can't eat this." He took the red envelope from the two siblings and handed it again, "You have to say thank you."

"Ah, ah." The two siblings took the red envelopes and shook their hands.

"That's fine." Zhang Yuanjun didn't force them to learn anything.

The two played for a while, mainly tearing up the empty red envelopes in their hands. Liu Yifei said, "Don't play with them. They have to take a late nap. Will you stay up late with them at night?"

Zhang Yuanjun then said to the two siblings, "Let's go take a nap, okay? Daddy will take you to bed."

Zhang Yuanjun took one child in each hand and brought them into the fence. He played with the two siblings for a while, and finally drained their energy. They each put a pacifier in their mouths and fell asleep.

"Finally I fell asleep after all the tossing and turning." Zhang Yuanjun felt a lot more relaxed.

"I see you're having a lot of fun." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

Zhang Yuanjun said, "I am happy, but I am also tired." He glanced into the fence and said, "Although the two siblings often fight on weekdays, they always sleep next to each other and hold hands."

Needless to say, the family celebrated the New Year in a grand manner. In the evening, Zhang Yuanjun recorded a New Year greeting video for the two siblings and posted it in the WeChat group "A Loving Family".

In the video, Zhang Yuanjun teaches the two people to bow to their grandparents and wish them a happy new year:
"You say Happy New Year to Grandpa and Grandma, and wish them good health. Then give us the red envelopes."

The two siblings didn't listen to Zhang Yuanjun except calling them grandpa and grandma. However, their funny and cute actions still won the love of their grandpa and grandma.

"Okay, grandpa and grandma will come to see you in a few days and give you a big red envelope." Mother Zhang sent a voice message.

Liu Yifei sent two voice messages to her girlfriends group, and her son and daughter each recorded one:
"Puff, puff, puff."

"Mickey, ickey, ickey, ickey."

Liu Yifei said in the group of her girlfriends: "Who is good at baby language, please translate it for me."

Liu Yifei doesn’t post photos of her baby on social media platforms, but she will post photos in her girlfriends group. Of course she has to post photos of her baby since she has such a cute pair of twin boys and girls.

Liu Yifei’s group of close friends is the same group she used to be in as bridesmaids, and among them, only Liu Yifei and Yang Mi have children.

After Liu Yifei posted photos and voice messages of her baby, Yang Mi also posted a New Year's greeting video from her daughter.

In the video, Xiao Nuomi wished Aunt Liu Yifei, Aunt Shu Chang, Aunt Tang Yan and Aunt Zhang Liangying a happy new year and good health.

Xiao Nuomi is three and a half years old.

Liu Yifei praised Xiao Nuomi for being cute and said, "Mimi, are you spending the New Year in Hong Kong Island this year?"

After wrapping up filming of Legend of Fuyao in November, Yang Mi took a break. Unexpectedly, she returned to Hong Kong Island to spend the New Year with her daughter this year.

Yang Mi: "Yes, take a good rest for a while. I will bring Xiao Nuomi back to Beijing on the fifth day of the New Year and come to see you then." Tang Yan said directly: "Bring her to my house and let me play with her."

Shu Chang chose to scold Liu Yifei: "It's fine if you just gave birth to a child, but you gave birth to two. How shameless."

Liu Yifei didn't care about what was said about her and posted another video of her children, showing off their cuteness.

After chatting in the girlfriends group for a while, Liu Yifei said she was going out, so we stopped chatting.

…………

The overwhelming marketing before the Spring Festival is now facing the most brutal test.

The one that took the lead was naturally "Monster Hunt 2", which had the most aggressive marketing. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it earned 5.55 million yuan in a single day, breaking the single-day box office record of 8 million yuan in Chinese film history previously held by "Fast and Furious 4.87".

Blue Channel and Emperor Entertainment Group’s marketing efforts for Monster Hunt 2 were extremely crazy. Not only was Blue Channel’s 60-hour advertising bombardment on satellite TV stations not enough, they even put their ads on CCTV. The 2-second prime time advertisement before CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala was also taken by the Monster Hunt crew.

Not only that, there are advertisements for this movie in all villages, with big words painted on the walls: "See Huba on the first day of the New Year, and you will depend on it to get rich."

No, what does Huba have to do with getting rich in the countryside?
There are also various collaborations and peripherals, bombarding everyone in all directions.

Some media analyzed that the publicity and marketing expenses of "Monster Hunt 2" were as high as 2 million yuan. This figure was indirectly confirmed by Jiang Zhiqiang: "Two years ago, we were not prepared for the popularity of "Monster Hunt". Therefore, although the box office was a big hit, we did not get a penny from the development of derivative products. Obviously, "Monster Hunt 2" will require more this time. Compared with these profits, the marketing expenses of 2 million yuan are nothing."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that "Monster Hunt 2" is aiming for the 2 billion record of "Wolf Warrior 56"!
But the audience still remembers how the 20 billion yuan for the first film came from!

This radish spirit is actually not cute at all!
The second place on the first day was "Detective Chinatown 2", which was 2 million behind "Monster Hunt 2", but its attendance rate was as high as 76%. It seems that pure comedy films are still very attractive and are particularly suitable for release during the Spring Festival.

The third place is "Journey to the West: The Women Kingdom", which reported 1.8 million. As soon as this result came out, the crew released a press release.

"'The Monkey King 3' is a huge success, Zhao Liying looks like a queen!"

The least favored film before the competition was "Operation Red Sea". Before the Spring Festival, the market still believed that military action films were not mainstream, and the huge sales of "Wolf Warrior 2" could not be replicated.

But "Operation Red Sea" earned a good result of 1.28 million on the first day.

"Nineteen Generations of Ancestors", which Mr. Guo boasted about all over the world, sold 1600 million on the first day!
This is very strange. Even if "1600th Generations of Ancestors" is a bad movie, the box office will drop in a few days. With so many fans of the Crosstalk Club and Mr. Guo, they could have tricked a lot of fans into going to the cinema on the first day. How come there was only million?

There may be only one answer: Director Guo Degang and the leading actor Yue Yunpeng don't actually have that many fans! In other words, the audience is willing to buy tickets for their crosstalk, but not for their movies - there were too many bad movies in the past, and now the audience doesn't believe them.

You say that you didn't shoot those films, you haven't read the scripts, and you were there to help people. Will the audience forgive you again?

It’s impossible that the mainstream crosstalk world excluded you back then, and now the film industry is targeting you too, right?

People have to pay the price for their past.

The most recent example in the film industry is Dapeng. "Sewing Machine Band" is paying off the debt of "The Pancake Man".

Neither Zhang Yuanjun nor Liu Yifei went to the movies. They were very busy during the New Year, entertaining guests and seeing them off.

But Zhang Yuanjun still gave a few free shout-outs to "Operation Red Sea" and "Journey to the West: The Women Kingdom" on Weibo.

The former was his own investment, and the latter was the first blockbuster starring the cousin of assistant Xiao Zhao. As a boss who had been with her for more than ten years, it was reasonable for Zhang Yuanjun to give her some voluntary publicity. (End of this chapter)
