Chapter 222 Mr. Ten Billion Box Office——Lin Yuan!

Chapter 219: Mr. Lin Yuan, Mr. Ten Billion Box Office!

The New Year is approaching, and tickets for Spring Festival travel are still as hard to get as ever, but the flavor of the New Year is getting weaker every year.

Instead of the atmosphere of walking in the streets and the smell of firecrackers, there is a holiday system. Office workers have to work for a whole week before the New Year's Eve holiday. In this case,

Naturally, there is no Chinese New Year atmosphere.

However, the streets were quite lively, with many merchants offering discounts and promotions under the slogan "Welcome the New Year".

Even movie theaters are no exception.

In addition to scrolling the trailers of several movies that will be released on the first day of the new year on the screen in the lobby, there is also an event to give out popcorn or Coke to the movie. I don’t know if it is an event to give out tissues from "The God of Medicine"

I got inspiration in middle school.

Lin Yuan did not choose to go home to celebrate the New Year this year. After all, several movies are waiting to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and other creative staff are busy. It would be somewhat unreasonable for him, the leading actor, to be absent by then. If this really happens,

, maybe the first big news in the entertainment industry this year will be the report that Lin Yuan is a big star.

A week before the Spring Festival, the promotion work of the two movies "A Good Show" and "Kung Fu Yoga" was quickly put aside. It was not that their movie promotion expenses were all spent, but because of the invitation to this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Apart from Huang Bo and Jackie Chan, the two of them were basically busy rehearsing for the Spring Festival Gala this week and had no time to promote the movie.

Unless the two reject their arrangements for the Spring Festival Gala, is this possible?

With no other choice, Enlight Media and Sparkle Films had no choice but to convert their original offline promotional activities to online, and run various related topics online to keep the discussion hot about the movies, so that these two movies would not fade out of the sight of netizens.

.

This is a good publicity opportunity for movies such as "Tang Detective 2" and "Monster Hunt 2", which are also released on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Taking advantage of the two movies "A Good Show" and "Kung Fu Yoga"

When I didn't have time to promote, I either invited major media to hold Q&A sessions about the movie or held fan signings, and I put a lot of effort into promoting the movie.

Lin Yuan felt a lot more relaxed because of this.

I was originally busy promoting three movies, but now I only have to follow Chen Sichen and Wang Baoqiang to promote "Tang Detective 2".

The movie promotions were busy until New Year's Eve. Chen Sichen finally gave everyone a holiday very humanely, and then gave everyone a red envelope. He said that he was afraid that he would be too busy during the New Year, so he sent blessings in advance.

It is worth mentioning that the movies released on the first day of the new year are different from movies in other schedules. Other movies are usually released at 12 o'clock in the morning, so that they can get two more screenings at the box office.

But movies released on the first day of the Lunar New Year obviously don't get this kind of treatment. After all, there is the Spring Festival Gala in the evening. If a movie is released at this time, wouldn't it compete with the Spring Festival Gala?

Not to mention whether any audience would be willing to go to the cinema to watch a movie on New Year's Eve.

After accepting the red envelope and saying goodbye to Chen Sichen and others, Lin Yuan returned directly to the apartment.

Originally, he planned to invite Song Zuer to watch the Spring Festival Gala together, but he made two movies last year and is now somewhat famous, so he naturally took advantage of the New Year break to go home and show off.

However, Sister Xia was so busy preparing for Lin Yuan's topic of "Ten Billion Box Office" that she had no time to go home.

At Lin Yuan's invitation, Sister Xia agreed. Firstly, she would accompany Lin Yuan to the Spring Festival Gala, and secondly, she would have a rough chat with him about this year's plans. After all, now is not the time for Lin Yuan to make his debut, whether it is to accept movies or participate in any variety shows.

Programs must be chosen carefully.

This year's Spring Festival Gala still continues the tradition of setting up branch venues in the previous two years, but for the viewers in front of the TV, there is no difference.

At eight o'clock, the Spring Festival Gala started on time.

The hosts are basically all old faces from CCTV. It’s not that CCTV doesn’t have other hosts, it’s that for such an important party, we are really afraid of something happening to the newcomers.

The director of this year’s Spring Festival Gala is Yang Dongsheng. Since the Spring Festival Gala directed by director Feng Xiaogang in 2014 was frequently criticized by netizens, the Spring Festival Gala in recent years has returned to the director of CCTV. It can be seen from the program list circulated on the Internet that this year’s Spring Festival Gala is still

Mainly singing and dancing performances.

In this year's Spring Festival Gala, there were more than 50 actors, singers, dancers, etc. who appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage for the first time, accounting for one-third of the total number of performers.

The opening song and dance performance "Chinese Year in Colors" officially kicked off this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Then the second program was still a song and dance performance, but it was "My Spring Festival Gala, My Year" performed by Zhang Manyu, Yang Yang, Wang Kai and the children from the Air Force Blue Sky Kindergarten.

For Yang Yang and Wang Kai to perform in the Spring Festival Gala for the second time, this was somewhat beyond Lin Yuan's expectation.

If the two people's previous performances at the Spring Festival Gala were so impressive, he felt that there would be no problem in appearing on stage for the second time. But the problem is that the previous performances were not good. Besides, are there not enough stars in China who can perform this kind of song and dance performance?

?

There's really no need to overthink things like this. Since there's no innovation in the performance, why not bring in two new faces?

Just after these two song and dance performances ended, Lin Yuan felt a little bored.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan was not watching at the scene, otherwise he would have to look like he was watching carefully when others were performing. Otherwise, as a public figure, if he was caught on camera, he would be said to have disrespected others' efforts.

In fact, every Spring Festival Gala, any sharp-eyed audience can find some casual audience members in the auditorium in the camera. Some are sleeping heavily and some are playing with their mobile phones. As for whether the mobile phone has a signal or not, it is not important. Anyway, it is better than watching the above.

The boring show is much more interesting.

The fourth program was "China" presented by Jackie Chan and Wu Jing. It was refreshing for the audience to see the two kung fu superstars not performing martial arts, but singing songs with a microphone.

However, Lin Yuan felt that if the audience were allowed to vote, they would definitely want to see two Kung Fu superstars competing on the same stage, performing Chinese Kung Fu, even if it was just a competition, it would definitely be much more popular than singing a song.

Lin Yuan joked in a low voice: "Brother Jackie Chan sings today and dances in the movie tomorrow. I'm afraid the audience will scold me tomorrow."

You must know that the audience likes to watch Jackie Chan movies, and they basically come here for Jackie Chan's signature comedy Kung Fu. As a result, today he sings in the Spring Festival Gala, and tomorrow he dances Indian dance in the "Kung Fu Yoga" movie. There are only a few fighting scenes.

Lin Yuan is responsible for everything. If the audience is not satisfied, there will definitely be a lot of curses.

After a not-so-funny skit performance was interspersed, the song and dance performance "The Best Stage" presented by Huang Bo followed.

As early as 2014, Huang Bo appeared on the Spring Festival Gala and sang a song "My Demands Are Not Too High". Now he has performed a song and dance performance. Those who don't know may think that Huang Bo is a traffic star who relies on his reputation to make a living.

In fact, if Huang Bo imitates Shen Teng and the comedian performs sketches on the Spring Festival Gala, the effect will definitely not be bad.

However, Huang Bo chose a song and dance performance like "The Best Stage", so the answer is obvious. In all likelihood, it was to create publicity for the movie "A Good Show", because in "A Good Show" In the movie trailer, there happens to be a scene of people dancing in front of a hulk.

From this point of view, going to the Spring Festival Gala is a good way to promote the movie.

Of course, the premise is that you have the ability to be invited by the Spring Festival Gala program team.

Sister Xia glanced at the look in Lin Yuan's eyes and thought he was envious of his being able to attend the Spring Festival Gala, so she said, "If you want to attend the Spring Festival Gala, I will ask the program team for you next year."

If it had been done before, this might have been a bit difficult.

After all, actors are not singers. Singers can sing on stage during the Spring Festival Gala, but actors can’t go on stage to act, right?

But now, regardless of whether he is a singer or not, as long as the star is popular and has no dirty information, it is not difficult to appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

If you are almost good at singing, just sing a chorus, and if you can't, just lip-sync, just like the chorus of "BJ Welcomes You" back then. If you don't lip-sync at such an important party, what if something goes wrong?

With Lin Yuan's current popularity, if he wants to attend the Spring Festival Gala, the director of the Spring Festival Gala will definitely support him.

Lin Yuan rolled his eyes and complained: "Forget it about the Spring Festival Gala performance. I'm afraid I will be scolded by netizens then."

Judging from the current quality of the Spring Festival Gala, even Uncle Benshan would have to be scolded. He doesn't want to take a trip into this muddy water. It's better to just make movies honestly.

Seeing that Lin Yuan was not interested, Sister Xia felt a little disappointed. After all, for celebrities, being on the Spring Festival Gala stage is considered an honor.

But she didn't think much about it, and changed the subject and asked: "By the way, which movie do you think will have the best box office performance tomorrow?"

In addition to the three movies starring Lin Yuan, the three movies "Monster Hunt 2", "Journey to the West: Kingdom of Daughters" and "Operation Red Sea" are also coming with a lot of momentum, and they are quite likely to win the box office championship during the Spring Festival.

Lin Yuan is not worried about this at all. To put it bluntly, half of the movies scheduled for the Spring Festival this time are starring him. What can these movies do to compete with him?

Lin Yuan is really not sure who will win the Spring Festival box office champion, but in terms of box office performance on the first day of its premiere tomorrow, it will definitely be "Kung Fu Yoga".

Let’s not talk about Jackie Chan’s box office appeal and the wide audience of the movie.

The pre-sale box office of the movie "Kung Fu Yoga" alone has reached 100 million yuan. In addition, Jackie Chan made his appearance in the Spring Festival Gala today. You don't have to think about it. The box office of the movie "Kung Fu Yoga" on the first day will definitely be ahead of the others. Three movies, as for the subsequent box office, it depends on the reputation of the movie.

Seeing Lin Yuan's confident look, Sister Xia also breathed a sigh of relief. She just needs to ensure that the box office champion during this year's Spring Festival is a movie starring Lin Yuan. In this way, Lin Yuan will be equivalent to winning the box office champion during the Spring Festival for two consecutive years. , which also proves his box office appeal.

During the chat between the two, as the song "Unforgettable Tonight" played on TV, a song older than Lin Yuan played, this year's Spring Festival Gala also came to an end.

The new year has officially arrived, and yesterday’s Spring Festival Gala caused quite a stir on the Internet.

The Spring Festival Gala has become nothing to watch now.

If you really want to enjoy it, you have to watch netizens complain about the Spring Festival Gala program the next day.

The topic of complaining about the Spring Festival Gala has been discussed by netizens and has reached the top four hot searches. However, the most popular news in the entertainment section is about several movies released during the Spring Festival.

After a day of screening of the four movies, the cumulative box office on the first day has been released.

"Kung Fu Yoga" undoubtedly won the box office championship of the day with the highest film schedule and highest pre-sales, with a box office of 337 million on the first day, leading several movies released on New Year's Day.

Ranking second at the box office is "Tang Detective 2", which many viewers have been waiting for for a long time, with a box office of 310 million with 26% of the film schedule.

"A Good Show" ranked third with a first-day box office of 140 million. Fortunately, the film's reputation is pretty good. As Huang Bo's first film directed, this first-day result is already very good.

Although "Monster Hunt 2" won 20% of the film schedule based on the box office performance of the previous film, the box office on the first day was only 110 million. And judging from the film's reputation, it is known that this sequel is obviously a hit in the eyes of the audience.

A failure.

Except for "Monster Hunt 2", the other movies were slightly better than expected.

Bona Pictures seems to have figured out the market for theme movies. "Operation Red Sea" has a box office of over 100 million with 11% of the scheduled films, which greatly exceeded the expectations of the crew. This has made Bona Pictures more determined to prepare the movie "Changjin Lake"

project establishment work.

The total box office on the first day exceeded 1.5 billion yuan, and there is no doubt that it will be a hit again during this year's Spring Festival.

The reputation of several movies is still about the same as yesterday, and major companies are doing their best to promote it, especially the two movies "Monster Hunt 2" and "Journey to the West: Kingdom of Daughters" with poor reputation. Everyone knows about the Spring Festival holiday at this time
