Chapter 952 Reputation is Important

"The first-day box office of the Spring Festival movie season was reported to be 17.34 billion yuan, with a total of 3403 million people attending the film, setting a new record for the total box office and total number of people attending the film season in a single day. The first-day box office of the Spring Festival movie season was a success, and "Detective Chinatown 3" set three records, with a single-day box office of over 10.42 billion yuan!"

"Hello, Li Huanying, jointly produced and distributed by Big Bowl Entertainment, Maoyan Culture, and Ruyi Film and Television, broke the 3 million box office on the first day, and the word of mouth was overwhelming. Jia Ling may become the winner of the Spring Festival"

"."

"Sure, Director Jia, you will have to take care of me in the future."

Shen Teng never expected that the show he starred in, after being coaxed by Jia Ling and eventually forced to take 7 days off to work overtime, would actually become a hit. He was really lucky.

"Hehe, now you can't blame me for using so many dirty tricks." Jia Ling was also a little excited.

"You've turned my guest appearance into the leading actor, what else can I say?"

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Brother Jing. Without Brother Jing's recommendation of Director Li Mu and the investment from Maoyan Culture, I wouldn't have had so much time to think about the jokes and gags. I have to give Brother Jing a big red envelope this time."

Jia Ling is also a person who never forgets the person who dug the well.

"Director Li has a good vision. Few people in the industry thought highly of you back then." Shen Teng said with emotion.

In fact, this is normal, because Jia Ling has no experience as a director and the script is not novel enough. From a commercial point of view, no one wants to touch it.

In other words, Jia Ling is popular in the circle, and she is making a comedy herself, so there are people willing to help her. Otherwise, whether it can succeed is another matter.

"Indeed, after winning the investment from Maoyan Culture, the review levels of Ruyi Film and Television and Didu Culture have been relaxed, and there are almost no obstacles!"

Jia Ling was also very grateful in her heart, after all, Maoyan Culture had provided timely help.

Just then, Jia Ling's phone rang.

"I was just talking about Director Li when a phone call came in. Oh no, I should have called Director Li." Jia Ling was a little flustered when she saw this.

"Go ahead. I know Director Li well. He's not that calculating. Otherwise, Mengying's business wouldn't be that big."

Shen Teng immediately comforted him.

Li Mu set off for Dandong early in the morning. As soon as he got off the plane, he saw the news. Then he thought about it and called Jia Ling to congratulate her.

"Congratulations, Director Jia, the box office is a big hit!"

Li Mu smiled happily. This year's Spring Festival movie "Hello, Li Huanying" was released, and Mengying was not absent.

"Thank you Director Li, thank you!" Jia Ling thanked him repeatedly.

"Please promote your movie well. Our family went to see it. It has as much potential as Detective Chinatown 3." Li Mu encouraged him a few words and then hung up the phone.

However, Li Mu's words made Jia Ling extremely excited.

"Why are you so excited? What did Director Li say?" Shen Teng asked in confusion.

"Director Li said" Jia Ling was so happy that she didn't even finish her words.

"Just tell me, I'm so anxious."

"Director Li said that Hello, Li Huanying has the same potential as Detective Chinatown 3, so let's promote it well!"

As soon as Jia Ling finished speaking, Shen Teng, who was about to say something, suddenly froze, and then asked in disbelief, "Really, are you sure that Director Li said that?"

"Of course I am sure. I just said it myself. Do you want to verify it?"

"I can't verify it, what can I do to verify it? I can call Director Li and ask him, Director Li, did you just say that?" Shen Teng said, changing his voice, making Jia Ling laugh and cry. "Damn, Jia Ling, you are going to get rich." Shen Teng exaggeratedly said, "The platform predicts that the box office of "Detective Chinatown 3" will exceed 40 billion. If Director Li is not just saying it for show, then you are really amazing."

"I believe in Director Li. Let's go and promote it."

"Sit down, it's not time yet. If you don't rest, I will."

"."

On the other side, Li Mu had just finished talking to Jia Ling when Wang Changtian called.

Li Mu was also a little surprised.

"Mr. Wang, Happy New Year! You got up so early."

"It's not customary to sleep in on the second day of the Chinese New Year." Wang Changtian laughed, "Jia Ling's Hello, Li Huanying gave me a big surprise. Maoyan Culture has made a lot of money this time."

Although "Hello, Li Huanying" did not perform as well as "Detective Chinatown 3" on the first day, its reputation is much better than "Detective Chinatown 3".

There are now a lot of negative reviews online: "Detective Chinatown 3 is so bad that it can't be worse", "It's ugly, run away", "It's not that interesting, and the later part is forced to be sublimated, a little boring".
In contrast, "Hello, Li Huanying" has received rave reviews. Although the audience also saw the immaturity of Jia Ling's first film, there were not many complaints about the plot. Instead, they felt the true emotions in the film and began to promote it spontaneously.

You have to know that this kind of "tap water" publicity is much more valuable than paid publicity. Many movies have become completely popular and counterattacked by relying on this kind of "tap water" publicity.

"The actors we hired are good, the script is okay, and it has real emotions in it, so it can't be too bad."

Li Mu was naturally happy too, after all, Maoyan Culture also had a considerable share in the company.

However, compared to "Hello, Li Huanying", the producer of "Detective Chinatown 3", Wanda Pictures, is much more embarrassed.

Although the first-day performance of "Detective Chinatown 3" was extremely explosive, its reputation failed, which was like the sky falling for this series.

This means that it will be difficult for the fourth film to attract audiences to the cinema based on its reputation, unless it is of good quality.

Zeng Maojun is also a little worried at the moment. This is a cash cow. If it collapses, it will have a great impact on Wanda's subsequent performance.

However, Chen Sicheng was as anxious as Zeng Maojun. When he saw the screen full of negative reviews early in the morning, he almost fainted from anger. He immediately called Zeng Maojun without even bothering to say a few words of New Year's greetings, and then said:

"Mr. Zeng, we have to control the word of mouth when promoting, otherwise the movie will be over. And I feel like there are definitely people in the industry who are giving us malicious negative reviews, and Douban's rating is maliciously one star."

Zeng Maojun thought about it for a moment and felt that it made sense. After all, bad reviews had a huge impact, and today's audiences attached great importance to the reputation of a movie.

"Okay, I'll talk to the publicity department, and you should pay more attention to this as well."

"."

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Li Mu came to the crew in the morning and started a new round of preparations.

It would take some time for a large number of staff to arrive, so it was naturally impossible to start shooting early in the morning.

The next day, the third day of the Lunar New Year, the crew of "Changjin Lake" had already started work in full swing, and the second-day report card of the Spring Festival period was also released and circulated throughout the industry.

"Detective Chinatown 3 earned 8 million yuan at the box office on the second day of the Lunar New Year, leading the Spring Festival box office. The box office of Hello, Li Huanying continued to rise, exceeding 4 million yuan in a single day."

"."

However, at noon, many people found that their Weibo had received messages from the official assistant.

"Hello, the content 'After watching Detective Chinatown 2021, I shouted loudly.' that you posted on '02-12-10 20:33:3' has been handled due to a complaint from Wanda Film and Television Media Co., Ltd. for infringement of reputation rights. According to the Civil Code and relevant regulations"
