During the days when Li Xin'er attempted suicide and forced Wei Ziting to marry her, the films "Half-Awake" directed by and starring Gu Weiwei and "Eternal Dream 2" starring Ling Yan were released at the same time, and the box office battle was fierce and it was hard to tell which one was better.
"The Eternal Dream 2" grossed 560 million yuan on its opening day, followed closely by "Half Awake" with 490 million yuan on its opening day.
Many viewers of "The Immortal Dream 2" went to see the sequel because of nostalgia for the first film. Perhaps because their expectations were too high, many people said that it wasn't as good as they had hoped.
It's not even as moving as the first one.
Besides fans, many viewers of "Half Awake" supported the film's box office as a way of expressing their guilt towards Mu Weiwei due to previous misunderstandings.
Unexpectedly, the movie became surprisingly captivating.
So, after watching the movie, they all started recommending "Half-Awake" to the people around them.
[It's been a long time since I've seen a movie with such outstanding acting from the lead actors and such excellent production quality. A five-star recommendation!]
[Those who have watched both "The Dream of Immortality 2" and "Half-Awake" say they absolutely must watch "Half-Awake."]
[Did all the actors in "Half-Awake" suddenly become incredibly talented? Fans of the third young master say they finally got to see his acting skills.]
[In terms of both plot and acting, "Half-Awake" has surpassed "The Dream of Immortality 2".]
...
In terms of ratings, "The Immortal Dream 2" is declining, while "Half-Awake" has received zero negative reviews.
On the sixth day of the film's release, Qiao Lin received the box office data from the first day and announced it to everyone.
"We have two pieces of good news. Which one would you like to hear first?"
"Both are good news, why should they be ranked?" Fu Shiyi complained.
Qiao Lin said, "Yesterday's single-day box office has already surpassed that of 'The Eternal Dream 2'."
Generally, daily box office revenue is highest on the opening day of a film's release, and then it gradually declines.
However, their film "Half Awake" failed to surpass "The Immortal Dream 2" at the box office a few days ago, but the box office did not drop much, and yesterday it directly surpassed "The Immortal Dream 2".
Everyone applauded. This was a film that everyone had poured their hearts and souls into, and everyone was happy to see it achieve such success.
“Surpassing them is inevitable, isn’t it? And what’s another piece of good news?” Fu Shiyi said.
Qiao Lin smiled mysteriously, glanced at everyone, and then made the announcement.
"I just received a call from the Locarno Film Festival inviting us to attend their awards ceremony."
"If it's a special invitation, then there's probably a prize to be won," Fu Shiyi said excitedly.
With a box office hit and positive reviews, if they can also bring home an award at the Locarno Film Festival, they will be the biggest winners in the film industry this year.
After Song Yu and the others were happy for a while, they said something else.
"But we still have movie promotions to do, so we can't all go to Locarno."
Fu Shiyi pointed directly at Gu Weiwei and said.
"Of course, our director and leading actress should go. Either Best Director or Best Actress, you have to bring me back an award."
The film is currently in a crucial promotional period, and the roadshow cannot be canceled. A round trip to Locarno would take at least three days.
Therefore, the person who best represents the production team is undoubtedly her, the director and the female lead.
Moreover, she is undoubtedly the most likely to win the award.
Gu Weiwei did not refuse and said directly.
"Okay, I'll go. I'll leave the rest of the roadshow and promotion to you."
