China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 685 Spring Festival Movie and Trailer [Two in One]

New Year's Eve was coming soon, and Sun Yi gave everyone in the company a holiday, but not himself.

The reason is that during the Spring Festival, Xingkong has another movie to be released, which is a love movie in which he and Liu Yifei collaborated again - "Only You".

Originally, Sun Yi was planned to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday, which was just at the end, probably around January.

But because the release date of "New World" was delayed, in order to prevent the two films from competing with each other, "Only You" had to be postponed as well.

At that time, the people from China Film Group chose the first day of the Lunar New Year for him.

Very respectful.

But after weighing the pros and cons, Sun Yi decided to release the film on February 2, Valentine's Day.

After all, this is a good omen. Release of a love movie on Valentine's Day is very targeted and a rare choice for young couples.

Moreover, February is still the winter vacation and college students are still resting, which can fully support the box office of the film.

Of course, the main reason is that the current Spring Festival period is not strong enough, and movie fans have not yet formed a habit of watching movies like the Lunar New Year period, so it is better to release the movie on February 2, a very special day.

Generally speaking, the Lunar New Year movie season basically ends in mid-January, and the Spring Festival movie season takes over within a few days.

For example, the recently released "New Shaolin Temple" should be considered the first film of this year's Spring Festival.

The film was jointly produced by Shaolin Temple Cultural Communication Company, Huayi and Bona, with an investment of 2 million yuan, and invited a number of first-line stars such as Andy Lau, Cheng Long, Xie Tingfeng, Fan Bingbing and others to participate.

This lineup is undoubtedly powerful, but what is even more shocking is that even Shaolin Temple has begun to get involved in the film and television industry.

It can be seen that the trend of the film and television industry has arrived, and all companies want to get involved and get a piece of the pie.

But the release date was chosen incorrectly. Not only was the full effort put into the Spring Festival period, but it was also so close to Star Sky's "New World", which was definitely a life-or-death rhythm.

However, if Huayi and Bona heard this, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood.

Bro, my schedule is 20 days away from yours, how can you say that it’s close?
There is no way around it. The safest release date interval with Star Sky’s films is still one month.

"Shaolin Temple" had just been released and its box office only jumped for two days before it was suppressed again by "New World", which had been released for the third week. When the first week's box office came out, it barely broke 100 million.

With this result, let alone making money, it is estimated that it is not even enough to recover the cost.

It's really a waste of these big names.

Following the release of "New Shaolin Temple", "Wulin Waijia Movie" was also released.

The box office results were equally dismal, with only 5620 million in the first week.

You know, this is performed by the original cast, the costumes and props are much more refined than those in the TV series, the Seven Heroes Town finally has a panoramic view, and the plot is also closely related to the current hot topic of rising housing prices, cursing the real estate speculation bosses behind the scenes.

Although the TV series has been turned into a movie, the flaws in the characters and plot will be magnified, but after all, there is the added bonus of sentiment. After all, "Wulin Waijia" has been with us for so many years, it really shouldn't have this result.

But the real box office is here, which shows that the current Spring Festival period is not yet a mature release period.

"The Spring Festival schedule is still a little lacking and cannot accommodate high-quality works. Fortunately, you did not agree to put it on the first day of the Lunar New Year, otherwise we would have suffered losses."

Yang Fan looked at the company's internal film and television briefings and expressed his feelings.

Sun Yi and Yang Fan were reading the same content. He put down the briefing and threw it casually on the desk. He leaned back and chuckled.
"That's not the case. The Spring Festival period still has great potential, but these competitors are not opening it in the right way. If the romantic theme of Only You wasn't so obvious, Valentine's Day would be the most suitable date. Maybe I would agree to release it on the first day of the Lunar New Year to test the waters."

Yang Fan nodded, agreeing with Sun Yi's point of view.

"It will be almost the same next year. By then, we will try to develop the Spring Festival schedule and make it an exclusive schedule for our Starry Sky."

"Exclusive schedule? Brother Fan, you don't want others to live."

Starry Sky now covers the May Day, summer vacation, National Day, and New Year's Day periods, and is basically present every year. If the Spring Festival period is added, that would be even better. It would cover the entire year without any blind spots, which is simply brutal.

Yang Fan snorted, as if he had heard a big joke.
"Hey, I don't care whether they live or die. Those who can't keep up should be eliminated. That's the principle of the market economy."

"hehe."

Sun Yi shook his head and chuckled.
"By the way, Brother Fan, has Liu Dehua responded?"

Hearing this, Yang Fan instantly became interested and quickly replied with excitement:
"His agent decided on the spot, without even reading the script, and agreed. He even said that you can make your own schedule, but you must come to our side first."

Yang Fan said this with a proud look on his face, then lit a cigarette happily and shook his head.

"You said, when did we men have this kind of strength? Liu Dehua, just one phone call and you'll be here."

"Hey, my General Manager Yang, you are so nice to talk to. You are considered a big shot in the circle. Can you be more reserved?" Sun Yi looked at Yang Fan and sneered.

Yang Fan waved his hands and replied, "Hey, it's different. This is Liu Dehua, my idol back then. I never thought that one day I would be able to recruit him to my own crew."

After saying this, Yang Fan took another long puff, then blew out a smoke ring and said with a smile:

"As for whether I am reserved or not, we are in the company with you, not outside. If there were outsiders, I would definitely smile and definitely not smoke."

"Hahaha"

Sun Yi didn't expect that Brother Fan also had such an idol complex.

However, thinking about it, I felt relieved. People of Yang Fan’s age are basically familiar with the first-generation stars in Hong Kong.

With Liu Dehua's reply, the preparations for "Gravity" were completely completed. The only remaining task was to arrange for Xiao Nizi and Liu Dehua to go to the Space Administration for training after the Spring Festival holiday.

On New Year's Eve, Liu Yifei got up early.

She will still have a program on this year's Spring Festival Gala, and she will go to the CCTV studio in the afternoon, so she has to get up early and wash up.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhang Xin arrived with the girl's personal makeup artist, and also brought the girl's dress for tonight.

Tonight's costumes are generally prepared by the actors themselves, specially customized or purchased.

Of course, the program team also has costumes to provide, but this is all to ensure the uniformity and standardization of the performance effects, which is generally only the case for group programs.

Liu Yifei is a solo singer, so she prepared her own costumes.

A bright red off-shoulder dress, provided free of charge by Chanel, the brand endorsed by the girl.

As businesses, they will certainly not miss the Spring Festival Gala as a promotional platform.

Liu Yifei was trying on clothes in front of the mirror. After putting them on, she deliberately turned around in front of Sun Yi.

"How about it?"

Sun Yi frowned deliberately, looked it up and down several times, and then grinned.

"It looks good. My Sissi looks good in anything she wears."

"rhetoric."

Liu Yifei snorted insincerely, but she couldn't control the smile on her face.

"By the way, Sissi, what's your show tonight? What time will it be over?"

"Show number 6, around 9 o'clock, what's going on?"

"I'm wondering if I should just go back tonight."

"Go back? Go to grandma's house?"

Liu Yifei blurted out, but as soon as she finished speaking, she realized something, and her little face turned red, as if she had been smeared with a layer of rouge, white and rosy, making people want to take a bite.

Seeing the shy look on the little girl's face, Sun Yi smiled and stopped teasing her. He just nodded and said:
"If we finish by 9 o'clock, we should be able to make it in time if we charter a plane and leave directly. Maybe we can even catch the New Year's Eve dinner."

Liu Yifei bit her lip. Although she had already agreed with Liu's mother that she would go home with Sun Yi to celebrate the New Year this year, it was still the first time after all. She couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when the time came.

After hesitating for a moment, it suddenly occurred to me.

"This is a temporary arrangement. Can we get a flight?"

"Hiss is also a problem. I'll call and ask."

Sun Yi did what he said and directly dialed the number of the aviation agency.

When Sun Yi bought a private jet in the United States, he had already become a senior VIP member of JetBlue Airways. Although JetBlue Airways does not have aviation business in China, it still has several cooperative companies, and Sun Yi and Liu Yifei naturally became their senior members.

"Hello, charter business, to Shengjing, the time is tonight, around 10 o'clock, is that ok?"

Hearing Sun Yi's consultation on the phone, Liu Yifei pursed her lips, opened her big, KISS ME eyes, and looked at him expectantly.

The agency seems to be checking the corresponding flights and crew members.

After all, today is New Year's Eve, a very special day, and there may not be any planes or staff.

After a while, Sun Yi suddenly raised his eyebrows and nodded at the girl.

There's still a plane here?!
Can I leave directly at night?
Liu Yifei immediately smiled happily.

"Well, okay, there are two of us in total and you don't need to pick it up. I'll arrange for someone to deliver your IDs to you this afternoon."

"Oh, flight attendant? Wait a moment."

After saying this, Sun Yi suddenly held down the microphone, grinned, and asked Liu Yifei jokingly:
"Xixi, do you have any requirements for a flight attendant? A cool one? A sunny guy? A melancholy handsome guy?"

Liu Yifei raised her fist and pretended to hit.

"Fuck you, I don't want it."

"Haha." Sun Yi chuckled, picked up the phone again, and continued:
"I don't want a flight attendant anymore. As for a flight attendant, I want one!"

A sharp pain suddenly struck Sun Yi's foot, causing him to grimace in pain. He held down his phone and said to the girl helplessly:

"Sister, I was just joking, that's all!!!"

"As for!"

Liu Yifei had a stern face, a puffy mouth, and was pinching her waist, looking at Sun Yi with resentment.

Sun Yi: “.”

"It doesn't matter, just do whatever you want, just configure it normally."

Humph, you deserve it!

The annual Spring Festival Gala is definitely a topic of common concern across the country.

Although the Spring Festival Gala has been getting worse year by year, it’s the Chinese New Year and everyone is on holiday, so there’s nothing else to focus on.

In Liu Yifei's fan group, many of the little girl's die-hard fans are predicting what kind of performance their sister will perform in the Spring Festival Gala tonight.

"I think it will be the same as last year. It will most likely be singing."

"That's not necessarily true. Sister Fairy has a solid foundation in dancing. What if it's dancing?"

"That's unlikely. Compared to professional dancers, there is still a gap. It should be singing."

"I don't know which song they will sing. Will it be a new song? I'm really looking forward to it."

"Have you ever seen a new song on the Spring Festival Gala? They are all old songs."

"That's not necessarily the case. It depends on the type of song."

Just when the fans were chatting enthusiastically, someone suddenly sent a link to the group.

"Sister Shenxian has updated her Weibo with a new movie trailer. I've moved the links to you."

"Wow, is this true?"

When they heard about their sister’s new movie, the fans in the group were immediately excited and clicked on the link one after another.

"Hey, when did Renren Video change to Xingkong Video?"

"It was changed several days ago. I heard that it was acquired by Starry Sky."

“No, it’s cooperation.”

"Go watch the trailer, the goddess has a new song!"

"!!!"

The link sent in the group is the trailer for Only You.

The first scene was in a hospital, where Liu Yifei was giving a patient a massage. Fans could tell at a glance that the patient was played by Sun Yi, but Liu Yifei looked as if she didn't know him, and Sun Yi was lying on the hospital bed, actually shedding tears.

The next second, the scene switches to the street, where they are still having a massage, but the two are talking and laughing. Their sweet look makes anyone think they are a couple.

The fans were a little confused, what was going on?
In the first scene, Liu Yifei's dress was obviously more mature, and Sun Yi had scars on his face, so the timeline should obviously be later.

But at this time, the two did not know each other.

In the second shot, Liu Yifei looks very young, but she is talking and laughing with Sun Yi, they are like a couple.

Why didn’t we recognize each other later?
Fans who saw the trailer were extremely curious.

At this time, the background music of the trailer sounded.

It's a song I've never heard before.

"I once encountered a beam of light~~~~in front of me"

"I fly on the wings of the wind~~~"

"Life has to go through so many obstacles,"

“Only then can we grasp the direction of happiness”

Wow, sounds good~
This is the common voice of all netizens who have seen the trailer.

Next, the trailer keeps flashing various scenes.

Sun Yi wrestled with someone in an iron cage and was beaten all over.

"If you want money, go to the Life and Death Arena."

Liu Yifei woke up in the hospital, took off her eye mask, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

"Doctor, is there any news about him, the one who sent me here?"

A car sped past and hit Sun Yi hard, with blood all over the ground.

"Kill him! Damn it, he actually survived and made me lose a lot of money."

In the police station, Liu Yifei handed over a missing person notice.

"Girl, what is your relationship with him? I'm sorry, we can't file a case if you're not husband and wife or relatives."

In the living room, Liu Yifei sat alone on the sofa, hugging her knees. Only a golden retriever was by her side. Outside the door was a group of community workers wearing armbands.

"Why are you so stubborn? This building is going to be demolished soon, and you're the only one left. You have to move out within a week!"

In the studio, a male colleague asked Liu Yifei: "Do you have a boyfriend?"

Liu Yifei smiled shyly: "I'm already married."

"I once encountered a beam of light~~~~in front of me,"

"I fly on the wings of the wind,"

"Run towards you fearlessly, without fear of the injuries I have suffered,"

"Holding the clouds and the moon in my palm~~"

Accompanied by music, Liu Yifei appeared on the street. She was running frantically, but the next moment, she fell down on the side of the street, pounding her chest helplessly and crying heart-wrenchingly.

I don’t know why, but everyone who saw this felt an inexplicable pain in their hearts.

What on earth had happened to make her so sad? It was as if the sky had fallen.
