This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Many people may have forgotten that this day was originally Singles’ Day. After all, it is too long ago.

Nowadays, Double Eleven has completely become a shopping festival for merchants year after year, and it even starts at the end of September.

Wave after wave of promotions under the banner of Double Eleven are meant to make you spend money.

Of course, everyone has even forgotten that Double Eleven is Singles’ Day, because every year Double Eleven has basically become a festival for showing off love.

That's right.

Just showing affection.

The competition on Double Eleven is about sending out red envelopes, and many people show off the red envelopes they receive in their circle of friends.

This is true for those who are married or in love.

As for movie theaters, it goes without saying that people who are in love are actually willing to go to the theater to watch a movie.

But in the past two years, the conflict between men and women online has been too fierce. In short, no one wants to be a bootlicker anymore. And because of this, more and more people are unwilling to spend money anymore.

Of course, there is also one side to the bad economy.

Anyway, there are fewer couples going to the cinema nowadays, except for the real New Year's Eve and then everyone has a sense of ritual.

As for this so-called Double Eleven, who cares? ?
That's right.

Because of this, pre-sales during small periods are not ideal.

That's exactly why Yang Tian became worried when she saw that the pre-sale amount was so small.

Because she didn't dare to think about it.

If it is true that "Parallel Cohabitation" can't even reach 1 million box office, then what should she do? ?

"Actually, there's really no need to worry."

Lin Xing waved his hand slightly and said: "First of all, we didn't make this movie just for show. We shot it seriously. Secondly, we will work hard to promote it. We have done what we should do. If it really flopped, we can actually accept it..."

At this point, Lin Xing paused and joked, "Even if it really flopped, I still have a tall guy to support me. Think about the box office of my first three movies. If this movie doesn't even make 1 million, who will the media really blame? Or who will they think is most responsible?"

Meng Yan also laughed at this time: "Ah Xing, do you know what I admire most about you? It's your mentality."

"Yeah, I was actually a little nervous."

Wu Qifeng also sighed and said: "After all, this is my first time playing a major role in a movie. I would be a little worried if it flopped."

Yang Tian said: "I am under the greatest pressure, because if I really fail, I feel that no one will be willing to use me in the future."

"Will not."

Lin Xing said to Yang Tian: "Believe me, no one else will use you in the future, so I will use you."

Good guy.

At this time, Lin Xing really looked like a domineering president.

Of course, Lin Xing really didn’t do that for any other reason.

First of all, Yang Tian did not ask for any remuneration for this movie. Not only that, Yang Tian also borrowed a lot of favors and money.

Not to mention the time.

Although Yang Tian doesn’t have many good scripts now, if she wants to perform in commercial shows or participate in events, she will make a lot of money.

From this perspective, at least one thing can be shown, that is, Yang Tian still has some aspirations.

If he learned from his peers and just cared about making money, then Yang Tian could definitely start live streaming.

Considering Yang Tian’s traffic, she would make a lot of money as a host.

Not to mention that Yang Tian has been working diligently on promoting "Parallel Cohabitation" in the past few days since the premiere.

Lin Xing saw all of this.

He felt that one should be a kind person, and since others had helped him so much, he would definitely give them a hand as well.

Firstly, when the promotion of "Parallel Cohabitation" started, Lin Xing took the initiative to take responsibility for it.

That is, don’t worry about the box office of "Parallel Cohabitation", it is none of other people’s business, even Lin Xing can be responsible for the box office.

But Lin Xing also made it clear in advance that he did not think that a single actor should be held responsible for the failure of a movie.

In addition, Lin Xing also tried his best to help Yang Tian out.

After all, everyone else can see the pressure Yang Tian is under.

Now, since Yang Tian is still so worried, Lin Xing might as well just give everyone a reassurance first.

"Actually, I read the novel recommended by the viewer Wang Qingfa before. It's the rebirth novel. I think it's pretty good. I've asked someone to buy the copyright..."

Lin Xing smiled and said, "After the filming of Death on Earth is finished, I might act in this one. If everyone has time by then, we can try it out again."

"no problem."

Wu Qifeng agreed immediately.

He is still willing to cooperate with Lin Xing, not just because he wants to become famous, because Wu Qifeng also wants to film seriously, and cooperating with Lin Xing is just so happy and enjoyable.

Besides, Yang Tian, ​​let alone, felt that her efforts had finally paid off. Wasn’t that what she had thought in the beginning?
It doesn’t matter even if “Parallel Cohabitation” fails, as long as Lin Xing is still willing to play with her next time.

Now that Lin Xing is willing, what else is there to say???

"Okay, let's talk about the future later, and we have to prepare for the worst, but "Parallel Cohabitation" hasn't been released yet, we can't give up..."

Lin Xing looked at everyone and said, "I still say the same thing. At any time, we must prepare for the worst, but we must do our best. Let's work together for the next roadshow."

Everyone also said: "Let's work together."

The next day, November 11th, today is Double Eleven.

But basically nothing has changed.

Yes.

Because everyone has bought everything they should have bought before, you have to know that under the general environment, things are often really difficult and it is impossible to keep buying.

No matter how much you stimulate them, no matter how much you make them take medicine, it just won’t work.

As for today, the cinema was actually quite busy.

Because almost five movies were released at the same time today.

That's right.

It's not just the movie "Parallel Cohabitation", other movies were also released together.

The bureau coordinated some arrangements and then added two romance films.

Yes.

The other two are also romance films.

Then everyone was thinking that the Double Eleven period would be a little better.

The two romance films are called "Unspeakable Love" and "Love Has Destiny". How to say it? ?
These two romantic comedies actually follow the path of starting with happiness and ending with sadness, and are even sadder than "Parallel Cohabitation".

At the end of "Unspeakable Love", the heroine died of cancer.

At the end of "Love Has Destiny", the male protagonist died in a car accident.

My goodness, after the first game ended, people started cursing online.

"Fuck, are you crazy? I watched "Unspeakable Love" with my blind date on Double Eleven, and it turned out to be a tragedy??"

"I was wondering when romance movies can be changed a little bit. It's a comedy at the beginning and a tragedy at the end. What's the point of this?"

"I'm really fed up with this kind of romantic movies nowadays. I really don't want to watch them."

"I suggest you don't watch Unspeakable Love. This movie is just a typical sentimental one, and the script is really rubbish. I won't say anything about the leading actor and actress because I'm afraid of being attacked by fans."

……

"Fuck, fuck, this movie was made ten years ago, right? How can people still make this kind of rubbish now?"

"I don't know what to say. So many good actors were wasted in Love Destiny."

"I think I should watch "Parallel Cohabitation" on Double Eleven. I watched it during the preview and I think it's good."

……

Apart from these two, there is no need to mention the other two suspense and horror films, because they are relatively niche.

As for the current market for old films, it is not very good.

Because of this, no matter whether theaters are willing or not, "Parallel Cohabitation" has actually been regarded as a savior for the market.

Look, on the first day of its release, the screening schedule for "Parallel Cohabitation" was as high as 30%, which is actually a lot.

It is precisely because of this that many people think that the first-day box office of "Parallel Cohabitation" must be impressive.

It’s Double Eleven, so the box office must reach tens of millions.

Especially in a previous interview, Lin Xing also said that he thought the film chose a small schedule in the hope that the audience would choose it. After all, big movies choose big schedules, so wouldn’t the audience be able to watch it during small schedules? ?

This is true, and it is indeed very encouraging.

And today, with the official release of "Parallel Cohabitation", the popularity and word of mouth of the audience are actually quite good.

"I think 'Parallel Cohabitation' is really an unusual film. I really think it's a good one."

"Who says it's not true? Lin Xing's acting is great in it. I've said it before. Lin Xing's acting is amazing."

"As far as the overbearing CEO is concerned, Lin Xing is really good at playing this slightly sinister character."

……

After watching "Parallel Cohabitation", everyone will talk more about the content.

After all, this is not just a comedy romance film, it is also a fantasy film.

Everyone thinks that the setting of "Parallel Cohabitation" is not bad. At least you can't meet yourself when you travel through time, so you can avoid some things.

Especially since you can’t change too much, you won’t even win the lottery.

Of course, what everyone discussed the most was the heroine, that is, the loser girl Lei Xiaozhao in version 1.0. Everyone liked version 1.0 more.

Because many girls can put themselves into the story, and quite a few people actually think that beautiful girls do have a more miserable life in real life.

In response, some people said: "You think too much. In this society, being beautiful is an advantage and a resource."

Then, the online discussion went off track again.

What should I say? ?
As long as it involves issues related to men and women, many people will definitely end up arguing.

Meng Yan also said to Lin Xing at this time: "Ah Xing, it's a good thing you didn't let our movie promote relationships between men and women, otherwise you might have been kidnapped."

"Traffic is good, after all, if there is traffic, there will be box office, but this is a double-edged sword, we should just do our job honestly."

Lin Xing waved his hand slightly and said, "And I think no matter from which aspect, our movie is not about the conflict between men and women. In this society, it is not easy for women, and ordinary men are not easy either. But this topic cannot be discussed. In the extreme public opinion environment, if you talk about it, you will easily offend both sides..."

At this point, Lin Xing paused and said, "So that's why so many celebrities now only use Weibo as an advertising account, because public opinion is conservative now, and many people wonder why there are no more live people in the domestic entertainment industry. But if you are a live person in the domestic entertainment industry, you can easily have your account cancelled if you are not careful."

Meng Yan nodded gently: "Then, Ah Xing, you should also pay attention..."

"I am fine."

Lin Xing waved his hand and said, "I just do my job. Just because I am a living person in the domestic entertainment industry doesn't mean I can do whatever I want. I'm not that stupid."

"According to the data from all sources, the attendance on the first day is not that ideal. Ah Xing, you have to be mentally prepared."

Meng Yan said: "I'm afraid there will be a drop in the box office tomorrow."

Lin Xing nodded gently: "Don't worry, I am mentally prepared."

At this time, although the box office has not been updated in real time, many media have already begun to predict the bad news.

"I think this movie 'Parallel Cohabitation' will be Lin Xing's Waterloo, because I just went to a theater and the attendance was terrible."

"Yeah, the box office is upside down. It looks like Parallel Cohabitation will be canceled tomorrow."

"That's right. It would be better to give this time slot to some older films. I think it's better to give it to older films than to "Parallel Cohabitation"."

……

More and more media outlets are expressing pessimism because the data is right in front of us.

The next day, November 11, the first day box office of "Parallel Cohabitation" was officially released.

The box office on the first day was 2100 million.

This box office result made many people start to criticize it even more.

"Hahahaha, I wonder how Lin Xing can keep bragging? The first day's box office was only 2100 million???"

"To be honest, I thought the first-day box office of Parallel Cohabitation would be bad, but I didn't expect it to be so bad. With 30% of the screenings, the first-day box office was only 2100 million???"

"The reputation has collapsed. To be honest, I really think it's impossible for Parallel Cohabitation to break 100 million."

……

When the first day box office figures of "Parallel Cohabitation" came out, many people thought that the movie was a complete flop.

At this time, Lao Zhong wrote a film review about "Parallel Cohabitation".

She hadn't watched the preview before because she had been busy, but she had nothing to do on Double Eleven Day so she watched it.

After she posted her film review, she was really amused when she saw the news online that "Parallel Cohabitation" was a flop.

"No, Parallel Cohabitation was released on a weekday, and it earned 2100 million on the first day despite the overall market being so cold. Why do you care about this flop???"

Lao Zhong directly sent another Weibo post: "Can you guys be a little more rational? A movie doesn't mean it's a flop just because it doesn't make 30 billion yuan."
