Chapter 272 Youth Film Records, Power in the Entertainment Circle

The box office of "The Untold Secret" exceeded [-] million on its first day, ranking in the top [-] in Chinese film history, and becoming the hottest movie this summer.

And whether it is public ratings on ticket purchasing software, certain platforms, etc., or professional ratings from film critics, self-media, etc., "The Secret" is ridiculously high.

This indicates that long-term sales will continue to be hot, and there will not be a precipitous decline in some traffic movies.

Everyone involved was extremely excited. Even Su Zhe, who was the most confident, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, "The Secret" in his previous life only had a box office of more than 2000 million. Even if he was confident in the quality of his version, he didn't dare to bite the bullet and make a lot of money.

Now he can finally rest assured and silently review:

First of all, this version of "The Secret" is based on the original film. The acting (mainly the male protagonist) and scenery have been greatly upgraded, the logic is smoother, and the quality has been improved to a certain extent.

Secondly, word-of-mouth marketing has aroused the public's desire to watch the movie, and their trust in Su Zhe further allows them to buy tickets with confidence.

- Jay Chou is more famous than Su Zhe, but his reputation in the film industry may be negative.Even his fans think his acting skills are average, not to mention that this is his directorial debut, so most people instinctively distrust him.

In comparison, Su Zhe's screenwriting and acting skills have been recognized by the public. Although it is also his film debut, his trust level far exceeds that of Jay Chou.

However, none of the above are the most critical factors.

The key is--

era.

"I was born in a good era." Su Zhe sighed with emotion.

Jiang Youliang was reporting box office information to him. Hearing his emotion, he praised:

"Mr. Su, you are too modest. "The Age of Youth" was released on the same day, and it has not yet exceeded [-] million. This shows that it is not the time's credit, but yours!"

Su Zhe joked:

"Why, do we have to learn to flatter people in the American workplace?"

"Which country doesn't like to hear good words?" Jiang Youliang said with a smile, "It has nothing to do with nationality. What matters is the boss. With Mr. Su, you don't need that. It all depends on your ability."

Su Zhe laughed loudly, waved his hands and said:

"No need to praise me. I am only in the top [-] in history. I have achieved this result during a period of rising box office. What is there to show off?"

Unlike TV ratings, this thing is declining every year. Don't think about breaking the previous record, it will be good if it can be maintained.

However, the movie box office is increasing every year. The records of previous years are nothing now. Breaking records can only be regarded as taking advantage of the trend and taking advantage of the times.

Su Zhe was very sober and did not regard being in the top twenty as an honor at all.

But Jiang Youliang reminded him:

"Although the summer season is among the previous ones, it is mainly due to the long time (3 months) and the high total box office. The single-day box office also depends on the New Year season."

Su Zhe was stunned for a moment, glanced at the movies ranked before "Secret", and said thoughtfully:

"It seems that they are all New Year movies, and American movies (usually in the worst schedule)?"

"Yes." Jiang Youliang snapped his fingers and said proudly, ""Secret" has become the box office champion on the first day of the summer season!"

(In reality, it is "Love Apartment", which broke [-] million on its first day, ranking first in summer history.)
Su Zhe couldn't help but nodded, feeling satisfied:
"It's more or less a record. By the way, how about tomorrow's filming schedule?"

Jiang Youliang excitedly stretched out the six gesture:

"Tomorrow's movie schedule is 60%! Today's attendance rate is terrible, close to 80%, far exceeding the 13% of other movies. The theater chain is not stupid, and it was arranged without us having to say anything."

Su Zhe couldn't help but feel excited:
"Will the box office still increase?"

"Tomorrow is Saturday. Online word-of-mouth is fermenting very quickly. As expected, the box office will reach its peak in the next two days!"

Jiang Youliang said excitedly and reminded Su Zhe:

"But "Secret" takes up too much of the film schedule, so we have to be careful of direct competitors in the same period slandering us."

Su Zhe also became vigilant. Even if he had an anti-criminal talisman, the window period when the movie was first released was too important. Even if the anti-criminal success later, it would definitely affect the box office.

It's all money!

"Strengthen your vigilance, especially keep an eye on Age of Youth. They want us to die."

Su Zhe was right, "Age of Youth" was indeed the biggest victim——

Due to the release of "Deep Water" in the same period, their attendance rate only reached 20%, which was better than the market, but far inferior to "The Secret", so the film schedule was reduced to 18% by the theaters.

This is much better than other movies on the market. Many movies have been cut off and can only visit theaters for a few days.

But those movies had little splash and no ambition. Unlike "Age of Youth", which attracted two major traffics, it was ambitious and confident, and always wanted to hit 10 billion box office.

Now we are hit by "The Secret", which only took in 7000 million on the first day, and the film schedule has been cut. What will happen to the subsequent box office?
The producer was extremely anxious, and the leading actors Ye Zehong and Zhou Jiamin also felt very uncomfortable.

Especially Ye Zehong, who has always regarded himself as the number one among the new generation and believes that his status in the circle is higher than that of Su Zhe.

Of course, he also admitted that Su Zhe was a very challenging opponent who could be compared with him, but at least he had to be a little ahead, right?

But why couldn't he and Zhou Jiamin combined be better than Su Zhe?

Gong Man, the heroine of "Secret", is an unknown newcomer!

Ye Zehong thought about it and analyzed the reasons for the film's failure:
"First of all, eliminate my reasons. I am definitely no worse than Su Zhe, and a little better than him."

He stretched out his hand and made a gesture that men in the country hate:

"Even if you are just a little bit stronger, you are still strong."

After he excluded himself, he thought that the themes of the two movies were the same, and finally found the reason:
"The scheming frog keeps touching your belly——"

"It's all Zhou Jiamin's fault! I just said that when she wears a school uniform, she doesn't look like a student. She looks like a nightclub uniform. How can she let an old aunt act in a youth movie?"

Not only did he think so, he also asked his agent to buy a fake team to put the blame for the failure of "Age of Youth" on Zhou Jiamin——

He must prove that there is something wrong with Zhou Jiamin, so that he can explain to fans, the public and the film studio that he has no problem and can continue to earn sky-high salaries.

This is also a common operation for traffic.

Zhou Jiamin was immediately stunned after seeing the navy's remarks.

Although she also takes the traffic route, at least she has never used such dirty methods as her partner to dump the blame. She feels unbelievable:
"We work together to promote it. Even if we can't compete with Su Zhe, we can at least protect our capital. Why are you trying to pass the blame now?"

She was furious and immediately fought back online.

This caused "Age of Youth" to completely lose the opportunity to disrupt "Secret".

So the next day, "Secret" successfully won 3.4 million box office, continuing to push up the summer single-day box office record.

On the third day, it was 3.1 million, a slight drop, but still terrifying. In just three days of release, the total box office is about to exceed the 10 billion mark.

Even in the best of times, 10 billion box office is still an outstanding result. There are only more than 100 movies in history that can reach this record...

When Su Zhe saw the statistics, he felt less excited and muttered:

"More than 100? That's pretty average."

In comparison, he did not feel that this result was exaggerated, but it already overwhelmed "The Age of Youth".

The more this happened, the more Su Zhe worried that they would jump over the wall and use blackmail as their last chance to make a comeback.

But he never expected that the male and female protagonists of "Age of Youth" would still be busy teasing each other?

He looked at the comments made by trolls and fans on the Internet, and Ye Zehong’s fans blamed it:

"He is too old and does not fit the role. He dragged our brother down to lose to Su Zhe!"

Zhou Jiamin’s fans counterattacked:

"Is Ye Zehong worthy enough to compete with Su Zhebi? "Youth" lost in the leading role!"

Fans of Ye Zehong: "Zhou Jiamin's acting skills are not as good as newcomer Gong Man!" Fans of Zhou Jiamin: "Ye Zehong is not worthy of carrying Su Zhe's shoes!"

Su Zhe: ...

His first thought was that these idiot fans in the fan circle were right!
He was about to die laughing and called Zhou Jiamin.

Zhou Jiamin maintained her demeanor and congratulated Su Zhe politely:
"Mr. Su, congratulations to "Secret" for breaking the one billion mark. You are truly a fool. You broke the record as soon as you released it."

"More than 100 movies have exceeded one billion, how can there be any record?" Su Zhe was indifferent.

Zhou Jiamin felt a little surprised and asked:
"Don't you know, you broke the box office record for youth movies! Among those more than 100 movies, there are cartoons, but there are no youth movies!"

Su Zhe was dumbfounded:
"Don't they say that youth filmmakers are stupid and have too much money? They can easily get high box office, but why are their records so low?"

Zhou Jiamin realized that he really didn't know, and said speechlessly:
"Mr. Su, it's easy for youth movies to break through 1 million. The top ones are concentrated between 3 million and 7 million, including stars such as myself and Ye Zehong (traffic). The box office is within this range, and the lower limit is very stable. But the upper limit is not high, only 8-[-] million."

("To Youth")
Su Zhe suddenly realized:

"No wonder I have received some offers for youth films recently. They only asked for a salary of 1 million, but no one dared to give them."

Calculated based on the box office of 1-3 million, the producer will also get 1 million in revenue, which is only enough for Su Zhe's salary, so only a fool would give it.

Zhou Jiamin:......

"You're still asking for such a harsh price. For the movie, I only get 1500 million in salary."

Movie remuneration for popular stars is far less than TV remuneration, because TV dramas rely on traffic, but movies rely on the support of real money.

Su Zhe suddenly realized:

"No wonder I offered [-] million for my TV series and they were still able to talk about it; I offered [-] million for my movie and they were scared away."

The more Su Zhe said, the more jealous Zhou Jiamin became, and said angrily:
"One billion is our ultimate goal for "Age of Youth"! You don't even know the box office record of youth movies, but you achieved it easily. It's really unreasonable."

Su Zhe smiled and said leisurely:

"Perhaps it's because when we were filming "The Secret", no one was focused on the box office, but only on the quality, that we were able to do it, right?"

Zhou Jiamin was silent.

After chatting about the box office for a long time, Su Zhe couldn't hold back and asked about the gossip about her and Ye Zehong's mutual discord.

Zhou Jiamin immediately became angry:

"Ye Zehong is sick! Even if it can't compare to "The Secret", if we rely on our fans and continue to stir up scandals, we will at least be able to make back our money."

Su Zhe agrees:

"That's right, "Secret" will only steal the audience from passers-by. Where is your base?"

Zhou Jiamin shouted angrily:
"But Ye Zehong is like crazy. After the first day's box office came out, he started blaming me, saying that I was holding him back! It made me so angry! I could only quarrel with him, and even the fans refused to support it!"

Even if the fans want to support the main character, they don’t want to support the person who fights with the main character!I can only endure the pain and not watch it.

"I guess this movie will be lost." Zhou Jiamin said helplessly, "Ye Zehong is so irrational."

Su Zhe remembered his encounter with Ye Zehong and said thoughtfully:

"Teacher Ye has a competitive personality. How can he endure just 'preserving capital' when he competes with me?"

Zhou Jiamin rolled her eyes and immediately said:
"Su Zhe, didn't he say that my acting skills were poor and that I was holding him back? Then let's make a movie together and get 10 billion in box office, and slap him in the face!"

Su Zhe immediately shook his head:

"forget it."

"Why? Don't you want to slap him in the face?" Zhou Jiamin asked.

Of course it’s because of your poor acting skills that you’re holding me back!
But Su Zhe's emotional intelligence was not that low and he replied:
"I'm afraid of losing my virginity."

Zhou Jiamin:......

It was a miscalculation. I should have restrained myself earlier!

……

On the Internet, some people also discovered that "The Untold Secret" has broken the youth film record, and is about to become the first youth film to break [-] billion!

To this end, Guangying organized a celebration banquet on Monday and made an ice sculpture of 1000000000, just like a dragon. The 1 is the raised dragon head, and the 0 behind is formed by the curved dragon body.

very beautiful.

Since Monday was a working day, the box office dropped sharply to 1.2 million, but the cumulative box office reached 11 billion, completing the goal of breaking one billion.

As the first person to do the work, Su Zhe hit the ice sculpture with a hammer. The reporters in the audience recorded this scene.

I have to say that compared to cold numbers, smashing ice sculptures has a more ceremonial feel.

After smashing the ice sculptures and accepting interviews, it was time for the dinner.

Su Zhe thought that the celebration party was just for the old friends from the crew to brag together, just like after finishing the game, bragging to each other about their achievements, "Look at my skills in that wave, are they awesome?" .

But he didn't expect that so many irrelevant people would come to the celebration banquet, making it a boring social occasion.

In particular, there are more than a dozen artists signed by Light and Shadow.

Guangying once signed many big stars, but it has gradually declined in recent years. In addition to the distribution business, the production business and the brokerage business have become increasingly sluggish, and the signed artists lack star taste.

So when they saw Su Zhe, they were all very excited. Stars and stars surrounded him, and all kinds of flattery poured in at him.

Yu Haohua looked on and marveled:
"Su Zhe is so popular that he is treated like a superstar."

Jiang Youliang stood aside, shaking his head and saying:
"How can celebrities be treated like this? The key is that Su Zhe is the boss and can make famous artists famous."

Celebrities only make money for themselves. They are popular outside the circle, but their status within the circle is not high.

But Su Zhe is different. He used one TV series and one movie to make Liu Heluo and Gong Man popular, and even promoted two rising new directors.

This is the key reason why these artists can't wait to climb into Su Zhe's bed!
Yu Haohua looked at Jiang Youliang and said with a smile:
"Then they made the wrong idea. Su Zhe is very responsible for his works and never engages in such disgusting methods. Alas, the domestic culture is so bad that some people only want to do these evil things."

Jiang Youliang shrugged:

"It's the same everywhere. The most famous sexy goddess in the United States once said that she squatted down countless times and unzipped the producer..."

Yu Haohua had never studied Hollywood and said in surprise:
"Really? She was so candid that she even told her posture."

Jiang Youliang rolled his eyes and sighed:
"In this industry, there are too many beauties and they are worthless; as long as you have power, you can get them at your fingertips."

"Why, do you have this ambition - to gain power and do whatever you want?" Yu Haohua said with a wicked smile.

Jiang Youliang was speechless:

"Don't spread rumors."

The two joked with each other, but Su Zhe experienced the power brought by power.

He dared to say that as long as he raised his finger, at least two digits of female artists would be willing to follow him tonight.

He also dared to say that as long as he continued to cooperate with Guangying in the future, what happened tonight would not be revealed, and he would still be the innocent and top-notch actor.

There is no need to be like a certain top male who wants to spend money on PC if he wants to have sex. Not to mention breaking the law and committing crimes, it is too low to just talk about being cool.

This is power.

The Vice President of Light and Shadow drank so much that his face turned red. He patted Su Zhe on the shoulder and winked:

"Brother, there is a room available upstairs. It's my brother's territory, so you can play freely."

Su Zhe smiled and patted him, then walked through the crowd and said to Yu Haohua, Gong Man and others:
"It's too noisy here, let's go get some skewers!"
