It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?
Chapter 1020: The results are too close to decide the winner? 1 little cotton jacket! 1 leather jack
Chapter 1020: The results are not clear? A small cotton jacket! A leather jacket! Is the "sentiment" starting to bite back?
“How much was the box office on the third day?”
"Boss La, the stock price has dropped by 7600 million, leaving only 1.56 million."
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, La Peikang, who was staying at home, felt inexplicably restless.
Because the current performance of "The Demons Strike Back" is really beyond his expectations!
On the first day of its release, it grossed 3.54 million yuan. It’s only been two days, but the box office has dropped by nearly 2 million yuan. Isn’t this too exaggerated?
After thinking for a while, he asked again: "What's the situation with Kung Fu Yoga?"
"It's still rising!" The secretary replied in detail, "Yesterday it was 1.54 million, but on the third day, it has reached 1.87 million. Currently, the single-day increase in box office revenue for Kung Fu Yoga has exceeded that of Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back."
"What? How could this happen?"
Chairman Lada is completely unable to sit still. If the current situation continues, how can "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back" break the 30 billion+ box office mark?
Thinking of this, he immediately ordered: "Notify all major film companies to hold a video conference in 30 minutes. Contact Zhou Xingchi and Xu Ke and ask them to attend. We must find a way to curb the decline in box office..."
"Okay, La Dong."
The secretary responded and hurried to make arrangements.
At this time, La Peikang frowned and fell into deep thought.
"We have to think of a way. We can't let the box office drop like this. The current promotion always feels like there is no suitable explosive point. We must think of a just right way."
As he was thinking about it, the promotional strategy of "The Mermaid" suddenly emerged in his mind!
"How about continuing to use that one?"
……
Chen Fei originally thought that he had gotten up early enough, but he really didn't expect that when he walked out of the bedroom, Liu Yifei's grandfather had already bought breakfast!
"Try our breakfast here. Can you get used to it?"
The old man called him to the dining table with a smile and introduced the food he had bought to him.
"Here we have Fatty Yin's fried cakes, Anhui flat noodles, Brother Bin and Sister Bin's tofu pudding, Sha's steamed buns, Baiyang steamed buns, Sister Qing's egg burgers... You can try them all, especially the Baiyang steamed buns, which are very authentic."
"Oh? So rich? I must try it carefully."
Chen Fei complimented him very politely, then sat down at the dining table with the old man and started eating while chatting.
Many people in the house got up one after another, gathered together to eat breakfast and listen to Chen Fei talk about interesting things in the entertainment industry.
Especially the younger ones, they kept chattering and asked Chen Fei to help them get autographed photos of the young handsome guys.
Naturally he would not refuse, and he immediately said that he would get it for them after returning to the capital, and then send it back by express delivery.
"Brother Chen Fei, can you help me get a signed photo of Tfboys? I've been looking for it for a long time and it seems to be out of print."
Listening to the request of Liu Yifei's aunt's child, Chen Fei responded cheerfully: "It should be about the same. When I get back, let my assistant contact their agency."
"Really?" The little girl's eyes lit up, but the next second she said considerately: "It's okay if you can't get it. They are so popular that most people probably can't even see them."
Hearing this, Fade Chen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
If he remembered correctly, no matter how popular Tfboys was, it shouldn't be a problem for him to ask for a few autographed photos, right?
"What nonsense are you talking about, girl?" Liu Yifei's aunt naturally heard what her daughter said. Like Chen Fei, she was also a little amused and helpless at this moment.
If he can't even get an autographed photo from TFBOYS, then what's the point of being a big director and big investor?
"Go, go, go, hurry up and wake up your sister. Tell her to stop sleeping. It's already past 9 o'clock. Why is this girl still so fond of sleeping in?"
"Okay, let's go."
The little girl responded and pulled a group of friends to call for help.
More than ten minutes later, Liu Yifei, with a messy hair and a resentful face, crawled out from under the quilt.
"I want to sleep in!"
"Why are you sleeping?" Liu's mother glared at him. "Hurry up and eat, then change your clothes and take Chen Fei out for a walk, try the local specialties of Harbin, and go for a walk..."
Liu Xiaoli arranged her daughter's itinerary for the day in just a few words.
Liu Yifei was angry but dared not say anything. She went into the bathroom while muttering to herself.
She originally thought she could have a good sleep in when she got home, but now, not only can she not sleep in, but even her walking and doing things have to be arranged by others.
……
While waiting for Liu Yifei to get dressed, Chen Fei logged into Weibo and checked the latest trending news.
The news about the plummeting box office and reputation of "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back" was now dominating the top search list. And then there was the news about the huge success of "Eternal Love".
Just like "Princess Agents" which premiered the day before yesterday, "Eternal Love" became extremely popular as soon as it was released yesterday!
"The ancient costume and fairy-tale TV series "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", exclusively produced by Alibaba Pictures and starring Yang Mi and Liu Kaiwei, had a viewership rating of over 3 on the first day of its release, ranking No. 1 in the ratings list during the same period..."
"Yang Mi is the actress who best fits Bai Qian's temperament. In the original novel, Bai Qian is fairy-like, but sometimes she has a funny personality. Her predecessor Xiyao was also very fairy-like. Although Liu Kaiwei's appearance is a little worse, at least his acting skills are still online."
"First of all, the plot is pretty good, and the actors' acting skills and looks are all online, but did Yang Mi offend the stylist? I really want to complain about the clothes and hats in the mortal world..."
"The TV series is pretty good, quite amazing. I'm looking forward to the movie version of Eternal Love that will be released in the summer. I hope it will perform well."
"I declare! Princess Agents and Eternal Love are my two favorite dramas. Both are classics and deserve praise!"
Looking at netizens' comments on the drama, as well as its reputation and ratings, Fade Chen raised his eyebrows unconsciously and muttered to himself:
"It seems that it will be difficult to determine the winner this time?"
At the same time, at Alibaba Pictures, Zhang Qi also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Judging from the feedback from all parties after the premiere of "Eternal Love" last night, the drama is undoubtedly a success.
As long as the plot and quality can remain stable in the future, this drama will definitely become a classic. At the very least, there is no need to worry about being overshadowed by "Princess Agents".
"Haha, we can increase our marketing efforts next. While promoting the TV series, we can also bring up topics for the movie version. This way, at least the movie box office will be guaranteed."
Listening to his leader's words, the secretary nodded slightly and said, "Boss Zhang, I'll arrange it right away."
"Just wait a moment!"
Zhang Qi suddenly stopped his secretary and asked, "Didn't I tell you a while ago to keep an eye on the situation at Tao Piao Piao? How is the situation there now?"
The secretary slowly shook his head and said, "It's very bad!"
"Tell me about it in detail?"
"The main reason is that the withdrawal of theater chains such as Pan Asia and Wanda caught Tao Piao Piao off guard. Although Mr. Li launched various activities and benefits, the number of daily active users is still decreasing...
If nothing unexpected happens, Tao Piao Piao’s revenue will probably be greatly reduced during this Spring Festival.”
"Haha, Cat's Eye is really ruthless. They are trying to cut off the source of our trouble right from the start!"
Zhang Qi felt quite emotional and scared.
To be honest, even if he was put in Li Jie's position, he would have no way to deal with this dilemma.
There is only one reason.
Alibaba does not have any physical cinema chains, and there are more than just Tao Piaopiao online ticket purchasing platforms, so it is inevitable that it is controlled by others!
"Tell the people below to try not to conflict with Wanda and Feiyue Films in the future. After all, we are latecomers and our foundation is not as deep as theirs. We need more time and opportunities to develop."
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I'll tell them."
"Well, get busy. Remember to tell Jiaxing to continue using that promotional marketing method. While it's still popular now, the effect will be much better."
"Okay, I'll contact Mr. Zeng later."
……
At the same time, just as Alibaba Pictures had already started to get busy, the ongoing video conference coordinated by La Peikang had also come to an end.
"Then it's settled. Next, we'll continue to play the 'sentiment' card and change the promotional case of 'We all owe Zhou Xingchi a movie ticket' to another version. Continue to use it. Is that ok?"
"No problem." Xu Ke responded first.
Zhou Xingchi was silent for a while, then slowly nodded: "Then use it, it won't be used for long anyway, it's good to have some effect now." "We should strive to raise the popularity and reputation, everyone should work harder, don't give up! Even if there is no hope for 30 billion+, 20 billion+ is still possible..."
La Peikang spoke incessantly, boosting everyone's morale.
But if you listen carefully, you can find that there is a slight tremor in his voice, which is caused by being too nervous.
After all, if something goes wrong with "The Demons Strike Back", then his previous plans will be ruined!
The losses of "The Great Wall" have not yet been made up, we must not give up!
~
"Fade Chen, eat this. It's delicious."
"And this! This is also our local specialty."
"Let's go eat the butcher's meal at noon. Don't worry about your figure. We can lose weight after we get back. Hehe..."
Liu Yifei took Chen Fei to tour half of Harbin for a whole day.
The two of them had no idea how much delicious food they had stuffed into their stomachs, so much so that after returning home, they couldn't even eat dinner.
However, Chen Fei still sat at the dinner table and had a few drinks with Liu Yifei's uncle-in-law and grandfather.
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, he took the initiative to speak: "Actually, the reason I came here this time, besides accompanying Xixi to see you, I also have another thing I want to tell you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the dinner table suddenly became quiet.
At the same time, Liu Yifei, who was playing with a few children on the sofa, turned her head and looked over, her ears perked up!
"Logically, my parents should have come to my house and said this, but you all know my situation. Since I was a child, I have no idea who my parents are except for an old man who has been relying on me for everything. So I can only make the decision myself."
"Oh, poor baby." Liu Yifei's grandmother patted the back of Chen Fei's hand, her eyes full of heartache.
Fade Chen smiled and continued, "I have discussed this with Xixi. We plan to get engaged this summer and get married during the National Day holiday. I came here this time to hear your opinions..."
"Sure! Engagement during the summer vacation and wedding on National Day, the date is a great choice!"
Liu's mother nodded impatiently, fearing that her son-in-law would slip away.
"Mom!" Liu Yifei's voice could be heard from the sofa, "Why don't you put forward any conditions? At least consider it! Are you so afraid that I won't be able to get married? "
"Hahahahaha!"
There was a burst of laughter in the room.
Liu's mother glared at her daughter and said bluntly, "You're already 30 after the New Year. If you don't get married quickly, you'll become an old girl.
And if I have a child in a few years, I will be an older mother. How unsafe is that? Now is the right time..."
Liu Yifei: "???"
"This boy is pretty good. I'm very satisfied with him." Grandma nodded with a smile, indicating that she approved of Fade Chen.
Grandpa nodded: "I think so too."
Although Liu Yifei was very happy, she pouted her lips very high. She glared at Chen Fei in anger and said, "I won't marry you so easily. I have conditions."
"Oh, well, Xixi started to make conditions herself."
"Humph! He hasn't finished writing the script I want for me yet. I'll get engaged to him when he finishes writing it."
To Chen Fei, this condition was almost irrelevant.
"That TV drama script, right? Okay, I'll definitely write it for you before the summer vacation. I haven't forgotten it."
"Slightly, slightly, slightly~"
Liu Yifei made a face, stood up and walked towards the bedroom: "I've been running all day, I'm tired, I'm going to sleep first, you are not allowed to disturb me!"
Before he could finish his words, she had already entered the bedroom.
"This girl is actually shy?"
"Ha ha……"
Liu Yifei could run away, but Chen Fei couldn't.
After all, there are a lot of things to prepare for an engagement, and they need to be discussed in advance.
No one mentioned hardware, diamond rings, or betrothal gifts. All everyone talked about was the engagement process, where to hold the engagement party, which guests to invite, and so on.
But as we chatted, the topic somehow went off track.
When questions like "When do you plan to have a baby after marriage?", "Can I have a second child within two years?", "Where will the full-month banquet be held?" etc. appeared, Chen Fei was stunned on the spot.
At this moment, in the bedroom, Liu Yifei, who was eavesdropping by the door, blushed with embarrassment.
"Grandma, what a joke! What about second or third child? I don't want any of those. Just one baby is enough... No! I have to have two, a small cotton-padded jacket and a leather jacket, hehe..."
~
In the blink of an eye, January has passed.
When it came to February 2st, Chen Fei prepared to return to Beijing.
The flight to Los Angeles was approved for the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, which also means that he will set off for Hollywood to shoot "Avengers 3" on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
Therefore, he had to rush back to the capital on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year to implement all the company's subsequent arrangements and plans.
"You're leaving now? Aren't you going to stay a few more days?"
Grandma was a little reluctant to let him go and wanted him to stay at home for a while longer.
"I will come to see you when I come back in a while. Xixi will stay at home for a while, so let her stay with you for me."
"Well, come back more often. This will be your home from now on. We are all your family..."
"Well, don't worry, I'll come back often."
After waving goodbye to everyone, Fade Chen got in the car and headed straight for the airport.
On the way, he finally found some time to look at a trending article from Hollywood that exploded on the Internet early this morning!
“Reprinted from the Oscars and Academy announcement: The winner of the 89th Academy Awards Lifetime Achievement Award has been determined;
Chinese film actor, director, screenwriter, producer... Chinese actor Chen Long, known as the Hollywood 'Kung Fu Superstar', will receive this year's 'Oscar Lifetime Achievement Honorary Award', becoming the first Chinese actor to receive this honor..."
Looking around, with the appearance of this news report, the entire network has completely exploded!
Oscar Lifetime Achievement Honorary Award!
The first person in Chinese-language films!
With the support of these two entries, Chen Long has already topped the domestic actor honor list and has become the object of admiration and worship of countless people!
"Although my eldest brother was not a good father and his private life was rather chaotic, his merits outweigh his flaws. His contributions to the film industry deserve to be recorded in film history and remembered forever."
"Oscar Lifetime Achievement Honorary Award? Wow! This award is awesome!"
"Both are movie stars who are famous for their 'Kung Fu' abroad. Look at Big Brother, then look at Li Lianjie. Haha, there is a world of difference between them!"
"I heard that Mr. Li is seriously ill? Is that true? I haven't seen him for a long time."
"Without further ado, I'll just go and buy a movie ticket for Kung Fu Yoga as a way of congratulating Brother Chen Long."
"Go together! Go together!"
Looking at the comments and heated discussions from netizens, Chen Fei couldn't help but feel emotional.
"This Kung Fu Yoga is really a great movie at the right time. With this popularity, the box office performance will probably reach a higher level, right?"
While muttering to himself, he sent his congratulations through his Weibo account.
Looking around, the entire film and television industry had already started to get busy, with congratulations coming one after another, making it almost impossible for Chen Long to respond.
"Oscar Lifetime Achievement Honorary Award? When I'm ready to retire, maybe I can get one for fun..."
As Chen Fei was thinking, he suddenly saw another trending search!
"A question from a netizen: After the release of Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back, do we still owe Stephen Chow a movie ticket? Or, is it his turn to owe us a movie ticket this time?"
The backlash of "sentiment" just happened so vividly!
