Chapter 223
"Only the Moon Passes By" is released
After entering May, Ling Sui's schedule became extremely busy.
The movie "Only the Moon Passes By" starring her will be released on May 20th, and she joined the crew of "The Great Swordsman" at the end of April. Although the filming is not about to start, she will participate in martial arts training tailored for the role.
In order to promote "Moon" and prepare for the filming without worries, Ling Sui had to travel frequently across the country. Pei Xuehai allowed her to "multitask" because she had a good foundation and she had already practiced with the martial arts director during the breaks in the variety show recordings in March and April.
In this way, even if she is absent for a period of time in May, it will not affect the progress of the training plan. In this regard, Ling Suisui had already made plans.
It has been a year since the filming of Moon was completed, and Xu Shiling's Mandarin has improved greatly. In his circle, his Mandarin level is unrivaled, but in front of Ling Suisui, he found that he still had a slight accent.
Xu Shiling was a little depressed, and Ling Suisui comforted him not to worry, as Hong Kong Mandarin is also very distinctive. Come to the mainland more often to develop in the future. You will make faster progress in such a language environment.
Moreover, among the male stars in the domestic entertainment industry, his dialogue skills are not the worst, at least he can be ranked in the upper middle level.
The crew of "Only the Moon Passes By" did a good job of keeping secrets. Apart from the photos taken on the start day, almost no other materials were leaked. When the movie poster was first released, Ling Sui's red hair became a hot topic.
In the poster, she is sitting on the stone steps with a bottle of wine in her hand. She turned her head and looked at the male protagonist. The background was night, there was the moon in the distance, and there was a street lamp above her head. The light and shadow effects added a bit of ambiguous and tender atmosphere to the poster.
Her red hair is very aggressive, and Xu Shiling's rich complexion is equally eye-catching. Judging from the visual effects of this poster, the tension between the handsome man and the beautiful woman is full. The affection in the male protagonist's eyes and the carefreeness on the female protagonist's face are full of story and make people imagine.
Sui Si cried out excitedly, and Ling Suisui did something big quietly again and secretly dyed her hair without telling anyone!
They wanted to condemn her loudly, but she was so beautiful with her orange-red hair, who could be so cruel as to do that?
Just one poster can cause the number of reposts, likes and comments on the official movie account to skyrocket. The front row of the comment section is a picture of Ling Suisui's solo photo, with all the official rhetoric expressing anticipation for the movie's release. If you flip through it in chronological order, it's full of fans crawling all over the floor (? ) as everyone is speechless with the beauty of Ling Suisui's new look.
[Wife, my destined wife]
[Don’t be so stuck on your sister’s gender TAT]
【Ahhhhhh Suisui, sleep, sleep, I love you so much】
[It is reasonable to suspect that someone deliberately made a typo]
Not only were the fan circles excited, but passers-by who saw the poster on various platforms were also attracted by Ling Sui's beauty. Although Ling Sui has starred in many hit dramas and the audience is already familiar with her appearance, it is precisely because of this that when she tries new styles, it causes such a warm response. Freshness is a weapon that never goes out of style.
On Xiaohongshu, there are already countless guides to perming and dyeing the same hairstyle as Ling Sui. Netizens with strong action ability immediately went to the barber shop, and smart bloggers even started live broadcasts, determined to take advantage of this hot traffic.
Although some people reminded that the background of the poster is night and there is a light on Ling Suisui's head, which will inevitably have a big color difference from the daytime state, it did not stop netizens' enthusiasm to try it. Her orange-red hair is so beautiful that it touches everyone's heart.
Seeing this scene, many fans were quietly brokenhearted again.
In fact, as early as last year, after Ling Sui won several Best Actress awards in a row, she gradually gave up data tasks including celebrity Weibo reposts, likes and comments, and super topic popularity. After communication between the fan movement and the studio, the fan circle data functional group was disbanded.
The team not only wanted to remove the traffic label from her, but also hoped that fans could be more relaxed and have a purer love for the actor. Ling Sui is now confident enough to do so.
The top star who dominated the charts for more than three years voluntarily "abdicated". The process was relatively calm. Even her haters tacitly acknowledged that with her achievements, there was no need to compare with these anymore. Although no one has dared to test whether Sui Si's fighting power is still the same as before, the title of "top stream" has set off a round of bloody storm.
There are several companies that have been fighting fiercely from last year to this year. Small tables have been made one after another, but no one can gain unanimous recognition from the domestic entertainment fan circle like Ling Suisui.
After all, the top position is not achieved by bragging, but by real strength. Since you can't make up the gap between you and others, who will recognize you?
No one expected that before the dispute over the "top stream" position was settled, Ling Sui's super influence swept the entire Internet again. Just by using a poster photo, "red hair" has become a hot topic on the Internet, and the number of readings of pictures and texts with this tag has skyrocketed.
In the face of such terrifying traffic, who dares to call themselves the “top streamer”? Anyone who wants to sit in this position must first benchmark against Ling Sui's star power. She has set the standard and threshold too high!
The few weaklings who were fighting each other thought that they couldn't give this title to their rivals, so they just gave it back to Ling Suisui. Letting her take charge would make everyone feel at ease. After all, her performance has been disrupted and there is no competition between her and Zidan.
Suisi: ...
ah? They were already lying, so how come they are back to the top position?
It turns out that it's the main character who's leading the team again. That's okay, as everyone has long been accustomed to Ling Sui's excellence.
"Only the Moon Passes By" was released on May 20th, which was a Thursday, so neither students nor workers had a holiday. Even so, the movie's pre-sale box office continued to soar.
It started with the efforts of the old fans, and the following few small explosions were caused by the marketing and promotion of the film company, which attracted passers-by fans and audiences.
The box office of movies during the May Day holiday this year was not very good, and even the patch advertising of "Only the Moon Passes By" failed to achieve the expected effect. But it doesn’t matter, the online trailer has a strong influence on dissemination, and the number of likes on the official Douban video has exceeded 10 million!
Shengshi Company was shocked by the data, but Ling Suisui and his team were used to it. The number of likes exceeded 10 million, which is about the same as Ling Sui's popular videos. Others may brag about their products to the sky, but they can't even rank in the top three in her opinion.
This video is a clip from the trailer. The heroine Qiao Xintong is dancing in the center of the party. Her confident and flamboyant appearance draws cheers from the audience. She only needs to hook her fingers and the male protagonist Lin Youqian will involuntarily move closer to her. She dances a duet with him closely, and then pushes him away when they are about to kiss.
In just fifteen seconds, not only was the male protagonist conquered by the charm of the female protagonist, but netizens were also mesmerized. The popular comments below are "So this is a fishing beauty", "Her charm is finally embodied", "I just regret that she didn't flirt with me".
Some people even said that she didn't understand this kind of lust-driven plot at all, and thought that it was the screenwriter who forced her to lower her intelligence, until Qiao Xintong made her debut - if she put herself in Ling Sui's shoes, any charming plot would be reasonable if it happened to her.
Although she still has the same familiar appearance to the audience, she can easily interpret a different style and charm. Netizens are fascinated by her, and her peers just want to take a magnifying glass and carefully study how she did it.
In fact, in order to play this scene well, Ling Suisui practiced dancing for a month in advance. Only when you are truly proficient in it and have mastered it, will your body be able to relax and calmly in front of the camera, and only then will you be able to shine as brightly as you do today. After all, there is not so much luck in the world.
Of course, hard work pays off. The final result she presented was praised by Xiang Yanchu and Chi Jia as "can record a dance video", which will definitely attract many idol fans to join her.
——The straight-shot video was indeed recorded, and Shengshi plans to release it as a benefit for the mainland box office exceeding 500 million. As long as the box office reaches 500 million yuan, the film company can get nearly 200 million yuan. After deducting taxes and publicity and promotion costs, it is considered a small profit. Add to that the Hong Kong box office and some money earned from streaming, and all the extra cash will bring the revenue to where we expected.
Before the May Day period, Shengshi felt that there would not be any major problems, but after the May Day period was met with a cold reception, Shengshi became worried. Fortunately, the 60 million pre-sale box office of "Moon" has given them confidence again, and this figure is still expected to increase!
As long as the market is not cold for them, Shengshi doesn't care about the life or death of their peers. The 60 million represents the audience's heavy trust in Ling Suisui. There is no more real appeal than real money.
On May 19, Ling Sui-sui was training with the crew of "The Great Swordsman". Her assistant told her that the pre-sale box office of "Only the Moon Passes By" in mainland China had reached 65 million.
Although it is not as popular as "Zhao Jiang" back then, the subject matter and release date are very different, and the premiere was on a weekday, which is already a very good result. At least, Shengshi was very satisfied and felt that the film would definitely reach the box office expectation of 500 million.
Pei Xuehai is also very concerned about the box office of Moon, after all, the leading actor of his movie is Ling Suisui. Even if he didn't have high expectations for Wuyou's box office, if he could make more money, who would complain about the money?
Amid different expectations from many parties, the second movie starring Ling Suisui was officially released.
According to the platform's real-time data, as of 10 p.m., the first-day box office of "Only the Moon Passes By" exceeded 100 million yuan. At the same time, this is also the first movie of the year to exceed 100 million yuan in box office on a weekday after the Spring Festival.
Feedback and reviews about it quickly spread all over social platforms.
Some people say that Ling Suisui is breathtakingly beautiful in the film, and you must not miss the opportunity to appreciate her limited red hair on the big screen; some people say that Xu Shiling's abdominal muscles are particularly attractive, and the clip where Ling Suisui flirts with him with red wine is worth savoring again and again;
Some people also say that this movie is great at kissing scenes. The male and female protagonists kiss three times in total. Needless to say, the sexual tension in the bed scene is great, and the male actor is expected to become famous overnight. However, the other two kissing scenes obviously did not go any further, but they were able to make the audience feel half numb. It is worth learning for domestic entertainment directors.
Of course, there are also negative voices. There are also comments like the heroine is too bad, the hero is too flattering, and the film about the extravagant life of the rich and powerful is suspected of promoting a materialistic culture. However, this generation of netizens has experienced many ups and downs, and it is not so easy to send out brainwashing packages. Do you really think that everyone has never watched the commercial wars in the film industry?
Besides, bad women and bootlickers are a pain in the ass for some people, but for others they are just Amway words. People who hate it will never go to the cinema and spend money. As long as people who like it are willing to pay, that's enough. It's hard to satisfy everyone.
In an overall favorable public opinion environment, the box office of "Only the Moon Passes By" continues to soar. Also being a weekday, Friday's box office achieved a single-day record of over 100 million yuan, a significant increase compared to yesterday; on Saturday and Sunday, the single-day box office exceeded 200 million yuan for two consecutive days.
Shengshi was so happy that the boss wanted to give Ling Sui a banner or a ribbon with the words "Box Office Magic Elixir" on it. Ling Sui has contributed at least half to the current success of Yueyue!
In just four days, the film surpassed its box office target. According to the platform's box office forecast, its final result is very likely to surpass the May Day champion.
Facts have once again proved that bad movies should not use excuses such as "economic downturn" and "low public desire for entertainment consumption" to save their reputation. The market has never been cold, it's just that you are not warm.
No matter how complicated the feelings of his colleagues who failed half a month ago were, Sui Si had prepared a performance chart in advance.
——With the box office growth rate of "Only the Moon Passing By", it should be okay to open a bottle of champagne and congratulate Ling Sui on becoming the 5 billion movie queen, right?
