Before the release of "Those Years", it was very popular. During that period, on the topic lists of major portals, at least three to five of the top ten were about "Those Years" and Chen Bei.
On the day when "Those Years" was released, judging from the reviews and comments on the Internet, it received rave reviews.
But the ultimate evaluation of the success of a commercial film still depends on the box office.
Sometimes high reviews don’t necessarily mean good sales. This industry has been developing for so many years, and many works are well-received but not popular.
Therefore, many people in the industry are looking forward to what kind of box office performance "Those Years" will get in 12 hours, or 24 hours.
You have to know that the previous movie’s box office exceeded 20 million in 12 hours, and that was when Chen Bei was not particularly famous.
Chen Bei is already so famous now, and the film has invested so many resources in promotion in the early stages. If it fails to achieve good results, it will be a huge blow to Chen Bei.
At this moment, not only many people in the industry want to see the box office performance of "Those Years", but even many black fans and Chai Hua are now waiting for news.
Even many of Chen Bei's fans are worried about this matter for Chen Bei.
"I heard that Mr. Chen invested a lot in this movie, and I don't know if he can make a profit."
"Of course I hope the new movie will be a big hit. I've already bought two tickets. Well, the movie is really good, and I'm pretty confident."
"Teacher Chen Bei really put his heart into making the film. Just look at the selection of the images and you'll see; it's absolutely stunning. I hope the new film will be a big hit; that's the best reward for a conscientious filmmaker."
"Yes, if this movie doesn't make money, won't it be difficult for Mr. Chen to attract investment for future films? If there's not enough investment and funds in the future, then we won't be able to produce such high-quality pictures like this time."
"Honestly, the choice of scenery, the special lighting effects, and the figures of the male and female protagonists are even better than those two-dimensional screensavers."
"I'm a photographer, and judging by the quality of the film, Mr. Chen Bei really spent a fortune on this equipment. Everyone should watch it and cherish it, because if the income this time is not optimistic, I'm afraid Mr. Chen Bei won't use this technology and equipment again in the future."
"Hey everyone, can you please stop being so pessimistic? I've seen the movie, and there's nothing wrong with it, whether it's the choice of images or the story itself. If a movie like this still can't make money, then I can only say that Chinese cinema is really finished. From now on, Chinese audiences deserve to watch shoddy films."
"Last time, the box office data was released within 12 hours. Why is there still no news after such a long time?"
"Could it be that the box office performance was really poor, so they didn't dare to announce it?"
Just when the onlookers were worried about Chen Bei, Chai Hua was sitting on his private yacht, holding a red wine glass in one hand and a fishing rod in the other.
This is a picture of harmony between nature and humans. It would be even better if the person Chai Hua is sitting on was removed.
If some people who know the entertainment industry see this again, they will definitely scream in shock.
The person being humiliated by Chai Hua at this moment was actually a popular young actor who has recently become very popular.
The waves surged and the boat rose and fell on the sea, but Chai Hua sat steadily like Jiang Taigong.
Suddenly, the fishing float that was originally undulating on the sea surface suddenly disappeared on the sea surface.
Chai Hua was delighted and quickly lifted the rod. In an instant, the fishing line straightened and the rod also had a very scary bend, accompanied by bursts of resonant sounds.
The big fish is hooked!
Chai Hua excitedly picked up the fishing rod and began to reel in the line, trying hard to compete with the big fish.
But in the end he felt his hand suddenly loosen, the fishing line broke, and the big fish ran away!
“Shit!”
Chai Hua cursed angrily and kicked the popular young actor who was kneeling on the ground.
The little star was kicked and slid a long distance before stopping. Then he curled up and hugged his body, looking very painful.
Chai Hua, who was furious, wanted to go up and hit him a few more times, but at this time his assistant came over and said:
"Mr. Chai, we just received the latest news that Chen Bei hasn't released the real-time box office results for the past 12 hours."
Upon hearing this, Chai Hua, who had originally had a gloomy face, immediately smiled and said:
"Hahaha, really? That's great! I'll let this kid continue to act crazy! What's the result? He's not in a bad mood now, right?"
"You can only make movies and play around with art. If you can't do that, then who are you? Do you think anyone will help you?"
After saying that, Chai Hua spat fiercely at the little star curled up on the ground, and then said in a happy mood:
"Let's go! Let's go back and wait for good news. I can't wait to see how the new movie performs at the box office."
Chai Hua was not the only one who had this idea. Those who had conflicts with Chen Bei before were all jealous of Chen Bei's success.
Now that they know that the 12-hour box office of "Those Years" has not been announced, they certainly have a lot of thoughts in their minds.
Many people have started to use their connections to find out in advance how the box office performance of "Those Years" will be.
But what they didn't expect was that some of their good friends in the past smiled and refused when they heard that they planned to find out the box office of "Those Years" in advance.
That attitude is really firm. In short, it's okay to get close to him, but if you want to inquire about the box office news, I'm sorry, it's absolutely impossible!
This was not something they arranged. Chen Bei had signed an agreement with them before, which did not allow them to disclose box office information in advance.
Compared with the small favors you get on a daily basis, the consequences of breaching a contract are too terrible!
So even though the internet has become a hot topic now and everyone is even starting to be pessimistic about the new movie's box office, there is still no good news to be heard.
Everyone waited in such an anxious mood until 24 hours later, when the data results suddenly came out.
Just when people were bored and scrolling through their phones, a striking reminder suddenly appeared on major social media apps.
"Shocking! The 24-hour box office figures for 'Those Years' are out! Mr. Chen Bei has once again created a box office legend with his new film. 'Those Years' has surpassed 60 million in 24-hour box office!"
