This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 427: Breaking 30 billion, true peer contrast

“Fuck, I really didn’t expect this road show to turn out like this??”

“Hahahaha, what I want to say is which movie roadshow is about life?”

"That's funny. I really didn't expect to talk about life during the entire movie roadshow?"

"I suddenly feel that Lin Xing is quite mentor-like. And you see he said a lot, but it really just sounded like nonsense."

"The person above, you can't say that. This can't be called nonsense, it can only be some chicken soup for the soul, and Lin Xing himself said that he is just one person's opinion."

……

When all the videos of the roadshow were released, many people were indeed surprised, considering that previous roadshows were all about talking about movies.

Not only that, many roadshows are organized by a group of people who have been arranged in advance, which is a script.

But now everyone is basically familiar with Lin Xing’s movies, and even knows that Lin Xing’s roadshow scripts are almost non-existent.

This is also another kind of reputation.

In many cases, word of mouth is not formed in a short period of time, but is the result of accumulation year after year.

Just like Lin Xing, he became completely known to everyone suddenly after Wu Yaoyan’s scandal.

It turns out that the illiterate man did not retire from the entertainment industry after he became out of fashion. He has been in the entertainment industry, but he has been doing charity work.

Who the hell believed this before?

Moreover, everyone kept digging about Lin Xing, but the more they dug, the more they found it unbelievable.

Because Lin Xing seemed to have no black spots.

Then, after ten years of being out of fashion, he returned and is still a top star.

This situation is really rare. It can even be said that many people have been out of fashion for ten years and no one can find them.

But you have to admit it.

Because Lin Xing was young when he became famous.

So when Lin Xing was out of fashion for ten years and just turned 30, everyone really felt that it was so annoying to be compared with others.

What’s more important is that most people didn’t expect that Lin Xing suddenly came back to become a complete talent after being out of fashion for ten years.

Who would believe this in the past?

Who could have thought that the former illiterate people would suddenly become so powerful that they could drive tractors and cook big pot meals.

To be honest, many people really think this is completely impossible.

There were indeed a lot of doubts at that time.

No one thinks that you, Lin Xing, can do so much.

But what everyone couldn't believe was that Lin Xing then started a successful life in the TV drama circle.

In "Just Waiting for You", he became a supporting role and flipped the table.

His performance in "Sweeping Dark Waves" directly refreshed everyone's perception of him.

Then, the two online dramas "The Hunting Murderer" and "Bad Kids" directly made Lin Xing the number one online drama star.

As for the subsequent phenomenal works, there is no need to mention them.

What many people didn’t expect was that Lin Xing seemed to have a special talent in the film industry.

Just think about it, he only made three movies in total, and all three of them are art films.

Who said that before?
Art films are niche and have low box office.

But look at the box office of the three art films shot by Lin Xing, each one is higher than the last.

Many people previously thought that "Sunspots" breaking 20 billion was already quite impressive, and even thought that this time "Going to Heaven" was bound to fail at the box office.

The results of it? ?

Now the box office of "Going to Heaven" has exceeded 100 million on weekdays, and it seems that it is normal to exceed 100 million consecutively.

Because there are no new movies being released at the moment, several movies released during the Qingming Festival can be said to have withdrawn from the competition for the box office champion.

In other words, from the very beginning, apart from "Coco", other movies had no competitiveness at all.

After the Qingming Festival, "Coco" directly lost its competitiveness.

Now, or the whole month of April basically belongs to "Going to Heaven".

"Then one last question."

After the roadshow ended and the interview lasted nearly half an hour, it was finally time for the last question.

To put it bluntly, the box office performance of "Going to Heaven" is currently being discussed quite a lot in the industry.

For many reporters, they also want to know Lin Xing’s true thoughts.

“Do you think “Going to Heaven” can break 30 billion?”

Facing the reporter's questions, Lin Xing still smiled.

Lin Xing shook his head slightly: "I still say the same thing. I really don't think too much about it now. For me, no matter how much the box office of this movie is, it has already been considered a mission accomplished, because more people have also paid attention to the funeral industry..."

This question was not really surprising to Lin Xing.

It can be said that during the recent roadshow, Lin Xing was basically asked questions about the box office and movies.

Over the next few days, just as the industry expected, the box office of "Going to Heaven" did continue to exceed 100 million yuan per day.

By Saturday and Sunday, the box office of "Going to Heaven" also reversed its decline.

"The effect of word of mouth is really too strong. This movie, "Going to Heaven", has boosted the overall market."

"That's right. Such a niche film has directly won more than 20 billion yuan at the box office, and it easily broke billion this week. It's really outrageous."

"Yes, the box office of Coco has been cut in half, but Going to Heaven has still managed to reverse the decline."

……

At present, the box office of "Going to Heaven" has exceeded 15 billion. According to the future box office trend, it is certain to break 20 billion in the next week.

The word-of-mouth effect is too powerful.

Of course, the more important reason is that there are not many new films, so cinemas will all go to see "Going to Heaven".

However, because the overall market is so hot, the box office of other movies has been boosted by "Going to Heaven", so three movies will be released this Friday.

It will be a test whether "Going to Heaven" can continue to maintain its single-day box office champion until Friday.

After all, among the three movies released this Friday, one is a highly anticipated blockbuster adapted from a phenomenal comic book.

The screening schedule for this movie directly reached 35%.

It can be said that he came here aiming for the Japanese crown.

Moreover, this is the first live-action adaptation of an anime film, so there are many people in the industry who are paying attention to or looking forward to it, not to mention that the director has never failed at the box office. Originally, this movie was going to be released during the summer vacation, or the National Day.

However, since there are no new films in April and May Day is coming soon, in order to seize the market, we simply chose to air it this Friday.

Apart from this live-action animated film "Xianfan", the remaining two are romance films.

There is a market for this kind of thing, but it is still a little worse.

For this reason, the only thing that can really influence "Going to Heaven" is "Immortals and Mortals".

Due to the release of three new movies on Friday, the screening schedule of "Going to Heaven" has been squeezed to 15%.

What was unexpected was that the box office of this highly anticipated "Immortals and Mortals" did not even exceed 100 million on the first day of its release.

On the contrary, "Going to Heaven" still grossed over 100 million yuan despite the squeeze on screening schedules.

"Oh my god, I thought that after the release of "Immortals", "Going to Heaven" would be directly suppressed, but I never expected that it would give "Going to Heaven" a sigh of relief."

"To be honest, I really didn't expect that the box office of "Going to Heaven" would be so strong."

"I think it's all due to the support of its peers. If other films had performed a little better, then there would have been no chance for Going to Heaven."

"That's right. I thought that "Xianfan" had invited so many big-name actors and invited people in the industry to watch the film, saying it was so great, but it turned out to be rubbish."

“I still don’t understand why the director insisted on changing the comic book “Xianfan” when it was so phenomenal?”

"Nowadays, many directors don't respect the original works because they look down on them, but they also want the fans of the original works to pay for them."

……

"Really, I was furious after watching Immortals. I think it's no exaggeration to say that its reputation has collapsed."

"I really don't want to say anything else. I just want to say that in April and May, I think "Going to Heaven" will probably continue to dominate."

"Yeah, if you say that the movie "Going to Heaven" is so good that it's really not, but there just happen to be no good movies in the theaters right now, so naturally he is needed."

……

Even so, with new films being released every week, the box office of "Going to Heaven" remains quite strong.

It broke 22 billion after 20 days of release.

After 24 days of release, the box office exceeded that of "Sunspots".

And 34 days after its release, the box office of "Going to Heaven" really broke 30 billion.

Who would have thought that "Going to Heaven" would be released during the Qingming Festival and May Day period. During the five-day period of May Day, several other blockbuster movies only surpassed "Going to Heaven" on the first day, but lost the daily crown to "Going to Heaven" on the second day.

In other words, the May Day movie "Going to Heaven" directly took in nearly 800 million yuan at the box office.

In short, after the May Day period ended, the box office of "Going to Heaven" has reached 32 billion.

"Lin Xing has broken his own box office record again. He is now truly the top star in art films, and an unprecedented top star."

"Who could believe that 'Going to Heaven' is so killer??? It's so awesome even in the May Day slot."

"That's right. Many people thought that 'Going to Heaven' was really not doing well and the box office was weak, but it turned out to be very strong again during the May Day holiday."

"I don't think it's because 'Going to Heaven' is so great, but mainly because many movies are just rubbish and not good at all."

"That's right. The fact that the box office of "Going to Heaven" is so explosive can only mean one thing, that is, it is really all due to the support of its peers."

……

When many people thought that the box office of "Going to Heaven" was not good, this "Going to Heaven" directly reached the daily box office of 6000 million on the first day and topped the list.

Later, when many people thought that "Going to Heaven" would be defeated by "Coco", it turned out that "Going to Heaven" was rising steadily.

Not to mention later.

No one could have imagined that in the following month, all the new films would be so popular. Even with the input of all the new films, "Going to Heaven" was able to achieve such a stable result.

Breaking 30 billion, a movie that many people in the industry thought was niche, and even many people thought it would be difficult for the movie to even break million, "Going to Heaven" told everyone that movies are miracles.

A box office miracle.

Of course, facing the box office of 30 billion for "Going to Heaven", no, to be exact, the box office reached 32 billion, and it may eventually break 33 billion when it goes offline.

This is indeed quite strong.

It is an art film, a niche film, not even a commercial blockbuster and apart from Lin Xing, there are no superstars in this movie.

You have to know that people like Wang Lu and Wei Fei are basically in the TV drama circle and can hardly even get into the film circle.

Therefore, they have no appeal at all.

Then the box office appeal of "Going to Heaven" must depend only on Lin Xing.

Think about when "Sunspots" grossed 20 billion at the box office, all the scripts at that time wanted to invite Lin Xing.

After all, Lin Xing has proven his box office appeal with art films. The box office of his first film exceeded 20 million, which broke the record, and the box office of his second film exceeded billion, which shocked everyone.

But this time, "Going to Heaven" took 30 billion, which was unbelievable to everyone.

You know, 30 billion is already considered to be a safe bet for the top ten of the year. After all, it is extremely difficult for a movie to break 30 billion.

Even during the Spring Festival, it is quite difficult for other than the top films to earn 30 billion yuan.

What's more, an art film like "Going to Heaven" is a niche film in the funeral industry.

Therefore, although this roadshow was quite tiring for everyone, everyone felt as if they had been injected with chicken blood. After all, if a movie breaks 30 billion, all the actors will benefit from it.

What’s more crucial is that some movies may be just average, so they have high box office but low discussion. But there are also bad movies that make over 10 billion, right?
But after these movies were released, there was no more discussion.

But that’s not the case with “Going to Heaven.”

Even though "Going to Heaven" has been released for more than a month, discussions about this movie are still ongoing.

This is the power of phenomenal art films.

For today’s last roadshow, all the actors were present, and Lin Xing also expressed his gratitude to everyone.

Over the past month, Lin Xing has been participating in the roadshow since the premiere. Just like his previous movies, he has been with the show throughout.

Otherwise, Lao Zhong would not have said that the box office success of "Going to Heaven" came more from the roadshow.

Because Lin Xing's face-to-face communication with the audience about the movie was so sincere, not to mention that he also talked about life with the audience.

Every road show of "Going to Heaven" can gain great popularity, word of mouth and a new wave of movie-watching.

To be honest, this is really the charm of Lin Xing.

To be honest, even many of Lin Xing’s haters have to admire Lin Xing for being so energetic.
