The message on the phone completely stunned Xu Yizhou. It was like a heavy hammer hitting his soul, making his head buzz and he stood there in a daze.
Although he has lived with his grandparents since he was a child and can only see his mother once every few years, everyone told him:
"Because your mother is not an ordinary person."
"She wanted to meet, but she was too busy and the situation didn't allow it."
"Is there any parent in the world who doesn't love their child?"
He covered his bedroom with posters and photos of his mother, followed every piece of her information, and never missed any activities or movies.
So, he decided to enter the entertainment industry.
As long as he becomes the best actor, mom will be able to see him, right?
So he kept running around to the crew, playing any role, as long as he could appear on the big screen, he would succeed one day.
But I didn’t expect that what I got in the end was being blocked and deleted.
It was as if something collapsed. He was sitting in the movie theater with the heating turned up high, but he felt like he was in an ice cave and could not hear anything around him.
The film critics in the audience clearly saw Xu Yizhou's face turn pale, as if he had suffered a major blow, and he sat there motionless.
He had agreed to give a speech to explain himself, but he didn't say anything.
Everyone gradually became impatient and were about to leave when Xiao He, who was standing in the audience, suddenly walked onto the stage.
"I will preside over the next process."
She took the microphone from the stunned Xu Yizhou, glanced at his dazed expression, then quickly walked to the center, smiled at the audience, and said, "I'm sure everyone knows that the film "Swordsman" has encountered many twists and turns since the early stages of filming. I am the investor of this film, the director, and every actor who appeared in the film just now."
"We all came together for a dream of making a movie, a dream of becoming a martial arts hero. Many interesting things happened during the filming process."
This link was not included in the original plan.
But Xiao He suddenly took up the microphone and hosted the whole event. He was calm and composed, without any flaws.
She briefly mentioned a few funny stories, which caused the audience to burst into laughter, and the originally tense atmosphere gradually eased.
"Xu Yizhou is a drama fanatic. He's been like this since I met him. Ever since he entered the entertainment industry, he's put all his energy into movies. It's pure and passionate, never mixed with anything else. He's walked this path with integrity and honor."
"I invited everyone here today in the hope that everyone can put aside those unfounded rumors and focus on the film."
"Whether this movie is good or bad, it's up to you to judge."
At this point, the film critics in the audience fell into deep thought.
Everyone knew Xiao He's purpose in inviting them to watch a movie. They had originally come with the intention of watching a joke.
After all, martial arts films are on the decline nowadays and there are no high-quality ones coming out.
But this movie seems a little different.
At this moment, the movie on the big screen had ended, and was frozen at the moment when Xu Yizhou looked back.
The swordsman in black had blood on his face and left in a dashing manner, as if he had left all the worldly things behind.
"You let us express ourselves freely. If I write a critical review, you won't hold me accountable later, right?" a film critic said at this time.
Xiao He said, "As long as everyone writes what they really think and makes a correct and objective assessment of the film itself, we will humbly accept any review, whether it's positive or negative."
"Thank you all for coming here, and I'll trouble you all to review the movie."
After saying this, she bent down slightly and bowed to the audience.
The film critics looked at each other, stood up and left.
That evening, the fifteen film critics invited by Xiao He successively released their reviews of "The Swordsman".
Strictly speaking, this isn't the best martial arts film ever made, but it's certainly the best I've seen in the past five years. The script is faithful to the original, and as someone who's read the original novel, "The Swordsman," I found it quite enjoyable. The fighting scenes are exceptional, flowing and dynamic, exactly how I imagined a martial arts film to be. It's definitely worth a look.
If I hadn't been invited to the theater, I might have missed out on a great movie. Putting aside Xu Yizhou's previous scandals, his acting is truly remarkable, especially his fighting scenes, which rank him among the top three among the new generation of actors. Even his supporting roles are impressive. The visuals and storytelling are both top-notch, and I highly recommend everyone to check it out.
The fighting scenes and acting are top-notch. While watching, I had only one thought: martial arts films are finally on the rise!
【Far exceeded my expectations! 】
…
Fifteen film critics gave it almost unanimous positive reviews.
These film critics already had poor reputation and appeal in the circle, and their comments shocked netizens when they were released.
[Tang Shu is such a sharp-tongued person, yet he actually praises her like this? How good-looking is she?]
[Martial arts films have been in decline for a long time. Are they really going to rise again?]
[Is it true?]
[Really? You'll know if you go to the cinema and see it. The price is only 18. There aren't many tickets this cheap anymore. If you open the app now, which movie is not 50 or 60?]
Finally, someone is telling the truth. The movie "Swordsman" is really good. I bought the advance ticket, but after Xu Yizhou's accident, I didn't want to see it. I was too lazy to refund the ticket and went to the cinema. It is really good.
[Those who have seen it would say it is truly wonderful, the shining light of martial arts in the past five years.]
…
As film reviews were released one after another, many people began to go to the cinema out of curiosity.
The next day, the box office of "Swordsman" increased slightly.
Although we are at the bottom of the list when things are good, just this little bit is enough to make people feel excited.
"The effect is pretty good!" Brother Jian comforted Xiao He.
Xiao He looked through the box office results.
"Just like this, it still can't make back the money."
Because they set the ticket prices low, even though the number of viewers increased, the total box office did not change much.
Brother Jian sighed and said, "Who made you so unlucky? The movie is about to be released, and you encountered something like this. If you lose this time, you lose. There will be another chance next time."
Xiao He's eyes were firm.
"I refuse to admit defeat."
If the method of inviting film critics is effective, it means there is still hope.
Although it seems that there is little hope now, just a narrow gap, but as long as there is light, she can split a road to the sky.
Brother Jian looked at her.
"So what are you going to do?"
"I took Xu Yizhou to run events, promote in schools, and do activities in movie theaters. I invited more professionals to watch. We ran from city to city, and little by little, we will definitely make up for it."
Hearing this, Brother Jian was shocked.
"Are you crazy? The 15 film critics we hired previously only brought in a few thousand viewers. How many theaters and schools would you have to visit to make this movie a profit?"
“If you don’t try, how do you know if it works?”
After trying your best, even if you lose, you will do it willingly.
But if you give up without trying, you will only feel pain and regret when you think about it later.
After saying that, Xiao He quickly packed up the documents, picked up a large box on the table, and walked out quickly.
Brother Jian had already been shocked by her determination. He was stunned for two seconds and asked hurriedly, "What are you going to do?"
"Go and get Xu Yizhou to work."
After returning from the cinema yesterday, Xu Yizhou went straight home.
Under normal circumstances, he would have been eagerly urging Xiao He, either clamoring to join the crew or eager to participate in activities and work hard to become the best actor.
But today, there is still no news.
In the cinema, his pale face is still vivid in my mind, his eyes are empty, and hope shattered into pieces and fell into his dark pupils, as if he had lost his soul and his dream.
Although Xiao He didn't see what he did on his phone, he could guess a clue from his behavior before and after.
After leaving the company, she quickly went to Xu Yizhou's home.
I took out the spare key and opened the door. The curtains were closed and not a single light could get in. I could only vaguely see the outlines of the furniture. Even the air was dead.
In the gap between the bed and the wall, a dark shadow was squatting there, and its sobs were hidden in the darkness.
Xiao He strode in and pulled open the curtains with a whoosh. Bright sunlight shone in, illuminating Xu Yizhou who was curled up in the gap.
He was still wearing the clothes he had worn to the cinema yesterday. They had become wrinkled, and the sleeves were wet. He didn't know how many times he had used them to wipe his tears.
He looked like he was about to fall apart, huddled in a corner, his hair lifeless and limp. He buried his face in his knees, his body trembling slightly, and occasionally letting out a small, suppressed sob.
Xiao He opened the curtains and walked in front of him.
"Don't cry!"
Xu Yizhou's body was quiet for a moment.
He recalled the first time he appeared on the show, when he played a monster in that variety show and was scolded by Pan Hong so much that he hid in the closet and cried.
Xiao He is the same.
Tell him not to cry, and then drag him out of the corner.
The scene before my eyes overlapped with my memories.
Xu Yizhou subconsciously looked up, his eyes, washed by tears, were dark and bright, filled with heartbreak and sadness.
He pursed his lips tightly, trying to endure it, but he couldn't control his sobbing. Tears fell down, and his entire eye sockets were red and swollen like two big walnuts.
"You haven't been crying since yesterday, have you?"
Xu Yizhou didn't say anything, but shrank back into the corner, lowered his head, and said in a buzzing voice: "Captain, I don't want to act in movies anymore, you don't have to worry about me anymore."
Xiao He squatted down and stretched out his hand to lift his head.
"I'm here to bring you something."
After saying that, he opened the big box he brought and took things out one by one.
"Huo An and the others have gone back to work and don't have time to come back, but they left something for me to pass on to you before they left."
"Mother Huo An heard that you like the beef balls she makes, so she made two extra boxes this time. These are for you."
As he spoke, he took out two fresh-keeping boxes still covered with ice, which were filled with plump beef meatballs.
Xiao He placed it directly in Xu Yizhou's hand.
Then he took out another note and said, "This is the exclusive number Wen Keke left for you. If you're in a bad mood, you can call her anytime. She'll be there to listen to your complaints."
Xu Yihu raised his hands blankly, looking at those things, and even forgot to cry. Tears gathered in his eyes and refused to fall.
Xiao He took out two more strings of salted fish from the box.
"Zhong Zichuan recently made salted fish again, and these two skewers are specially for you."
"Also, this is the dog food William insisted on giving you, and the pine cones Xiaoguai gave you..."
Finally, place a box of dog food and a few nuts on top.
Xu Yizhou blinked his eyes, tears rolled down, and his vision became clear again. He looked at the mess in his hands with a complicated expression.
“Why did William give me dog food?”
"It originally wanted to give you a bone, but I saw it was covered in its saliva, so I had to persuade it to give up with great difficulty," Xiao He explained.
Xu Yizhou was speechless.
"Okay." He picked up a string of salted fish and looked at it, saying, "How much salted fish did Zhong Zichuan make? Can he finish it?"
"He's giving them away everywhere now. Every guest who goes on the show gets one."
“…Those fish are so pitiful.”
He complained, then muttered, "And Wen Keke, how insincere! I was the one who gave her this number before. And Huo An's mother still makes the best beef balls."
At the end of his speech, Xu Yizhou simply sat on the ground and stared at the lunch box.
Before he had time to feel sad, Xiao He pulled him up.
"Go take a shower now. After we finish eating, I'll take you to City B."
"What are you going to do?"
"To promote the movie."
City B has many universities and is the most suitable first stop for publicity.
Hearing this, Xu Yizhou hesitated, looked at Xiao He, and seemed to be about to say something, but finally walked towards the bathroom.
After taking a shower, the swelling in her eyes had subsided a lot. She whispered, "Captain, after we finish the promotion and make "Swordsman" profitable, I don't want to make movies anymore. I want to quit."
After coming back, he had thought it through clearly.
I originally wanted to become an actor and become a movie star just to meet my mother, but just yesterday, this dream was completely shattered.
Having lost his goal, he no longer wanted to stay here.
Xiao He nodded decisively.
"good."
Xu Yizhou finally cheered up, quickly changed his clothes, and followed Xiao He downstairs.
“Did yesterday’s movie review have any effect?”
Xiao He. "Not bad, it attracted several thousand people to the cinema."
Hearing this, Xu Yizhou nodded slightly, calculated carefully in his mind, and suddenly found a problem.
"Only a few thousand people? Based on the current box office, how many places do you have to go to in order to make a profit?"
"I've got a simple plan."
Xiao He took out a palm-sized note and said, "After you finish this, it should be almost done."
"Not much, it should be fine..."
Xu Yizhou took it in surprise, but before he could finish his words, he suddenly realized that it was not a note, but a roll of paper, which instantly fell apart and rolled all the way down.
One second.
Two seconds.
…
It rolled for seven or eight seconds before finally stopping.
The palm-wide note was filled with information about various cinemas, schools and film critics, and there was no end in sight.
Xu Yizhou widened his eyes in shock.
"so much?!"
Looking around, there are at least hundreds of venues, right?
Xiao He: "This is the result after my screening."
Hearing this, Xu Yizhou was silent for a while.
He looked down at the long list and asked seriously, "Can I make my money back after visiting all these places?"
"According to my calculations, it should be possible."
He took a deep breath and rolled up the note again.
"Then let's go."
Xiao He’s first stop was the university town, where a large number of students gathered, the people were concentrated, and it was easy to apply for activities.
Because of the huge success of "Zombieland", Xu Yizhou gained considerable popularity as soon as he arrived.
They didn't have time to set up a stage, so they just hung up banners on the playground and started promoting.
It was dinner time and the sun was shining brightly.
Xu Yizhou ran around the playground hard to attract the students' attention.
He was naturally suited to this kind of impromptu performance, and at this moment he went all out, interacting with the students and often causing laughter.
In order to match the look in "Swordsman", Xu Yizhou needs to wear a swordsman costume to perform. Not only does he have to interact with the audience and answer questions, but he also has to perform martial arts, somersaults, and wield swords and guns. Nothing can be missed.
After each performance, he was exhausted and out of breath. When it was time to change venues, he would hurriedly change into new clothes in the car to keep himself fresh at all times.
After such high-intensity work, when waiting for the last venue and returning to the hotel, Xu Yizhou had already fallen asleep on the props.
Although he looks exhausted, when he goes on stage on the first day, he will immediately become as energized as if he has been injected with chicken blood and put all his energy into promotion.
While he was performing, Xiao He immediately contacted the new school to discuss the activity program. After the two-hour activity was over, he took him to the next school.
On the first day, they visited three schools in total.
Xiao He discovered that although they were from different schools, the students knew each other.
When Xu Yizhou was still promoting at the first university, the news had already spread to the second school. So when they got there, they found that there were already people waiting on the playground.
After discovering this, Xiao He began to promote the announcement on the school forum and Tieba, and the effect was indeed remarkable!
The number of spectators present has obviously increased several times!
By the fourth day, Xu Yizhou had visited all the schools in City B and got in his car, heading non-stop to the next city.
Xu Yizhou changed his clothes in advance and fell asleep in the back seat.
While driving, Xiao He was talking to Brother Jian on the phone in a low voice.
"Did it work?"
"It's effective. Two days ago, which was the day after you started promoting, the box office has increased a little bit, and almost all the new viewers are from City B. It increases a little bit every day, and now it has gone from last to fourth from last." Brother Jian said.
Although being fourth from the bottom doesn't sound that great, it is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for them right now.
Xiao He smiled and whispered, "Brother Jian, please keep an eye on it. If anything happens, tell me immediately."
"I'm fine, but what about Xu Yizhou? Can he still hold on?"
With such high-intensity publicity, even hardworking artists would definitely protest, right?
Hearing this, Xiao He glanced at Xu Yizhou, who was sleeping in the back, in the mirror and said, "He has made a great decision now."
"Okay, since you want to do it, then do it. And take care of your health." Brother Jian reminded.
Xu Yizhou works very hard on promotion, and Xiao He, as his agent, doesn't have it easy either.
She is not only responsible for communicating with the venue and arranging the program content for each event, but also for publicity and follow-up. She has to drive and drop off every time the venue changes, and is responsible for Xu Yizhou's physical condition, food, clothing, housing and transportation.
It is hard to imagine how she manages such high-intensity work.
"Let me get a few people to help you." Brother Jian said.
"No, it's the end of the year and everyone else is busy. I can handle the artists I manage."
Xiao He responded and saw Xu Yizhou, who was sleeping in the back, seemed to be disturbed and moved. He quickly said, "I'll hang up first. We'll talk next time."
"Okay... No, there's one more thing..."
Brother Jian shouted anxiously, but the person on the other end had already hung up the phone.
He looked at his phone, sighed, and said, "Forget it, the others should be starting soon, right?"
This time, Xiao He took Xu Yizhou to a movie theater for promotion.
With the help of the cinema, a simple temporary stage was built, on which Xu Yizhou performed hard.
At the end, Xiao He was communicating with the cinema staff, and Xu Yizhou followed behind drowsily, pulling at her clothes.
Just when I was about to fall asleep, a pillow suddenly appeared in my sight.
It was a round pillow with a group of chubby white sheep printed on it, surrounded by colorful clouds with smiling faces painted on them, smiling at him.
Xu Yizhou woke up instantly and looked in the direction of the hand that offered the assurance.
She was a young girl who looked about the same age as him.
"This is for you. Sleep with this pillow."
Xu Yizhou waved his hand awkwardly.
"No, no, I'm not sleepy."
As he spoke, he yawned and couldn't open his eyelids.
The girl laughed and looked at him curiously. "I just finished watching 'The Swordsman'. Your performance was really good. My friend and I really liked it. We bought this movie together and gave it to you."
As she spoke, she pointed to a few people standing not far away.
Xu Yizhou turned around and saw three girls standing not far away, waving at him, all holding a ticket for the movie "Swordsman".
"We have all read the original novel, and you are exactly the same as the protagonist we imagined! I didn't expect you to be so young." The girl exclaimed.
"Thanks."
Xu Yizhou suddenly felt a little embarrassed, lowered his head and blushed.
At this time, the girl said: "My friends and I have already discussed it. We will definitely support your next movie! What role will you play next?"
Xu Yizhou was stunned.
Looking at the other person's expectant eyes, he couldn't say anything. He was about to retire from the entertainment industry and there would be no next movie.
"I still... don't know."
"The next one will definitely be good too!" the girl said firmly.
After saying that, he waved his hand, then ran to find his friends and left together.
Xu Yizhou watched them leave in a daze, then looked down at the pillow in his hand. The clouds on it were smiling sweetly at him.
At this time, Xiao He finished discussing the details with the cinema staff and turned around.
"Ready to go to the next place?"
Xu Yizhou finally came back to his senses and nodded quickly.
"good."
After saying that, he followed Xiao He outside.
Another day passed, and Xiao He received the box office update data from Brother Jian as usual, and found something wrong.
Ever since she and Xu Yizhou started promoting the film, the box office of "Swordsman" has been steadily increasing. It has been increasing very slowly, but yesterday, it suddenly soared, and a sharply rising slope appeared on the data graph.
They only went to a few cinemas yesterday, and the number of people there was not as high as that of college students. According to Xiao He's calculations, there would not be so many viewers.
Xiao He: [Did something go wrong? Why did so many more people come in yesterday? Xu Yizhou only visited four cinemas.]
Brother Jian: [Xu Yizhou went to four companies, but the entire crew went to 15 companies in total.]
He explained, "I wanted to tell you yesterday. After the other crew members learned about your promotional activities, they've decided to join you. We've divided into five groups, each heading out on their own. I've already sent them all the event locations you listed earlier. They'll start promoting from the last one. One day, you'll meet at the same promotional location."
Xiao He was shocked when he saw the news.
When they decided to promote it, she and Xu Yizhou did not tell other people in the crew.
After all, Xu Yizhou was the reason for the box office failure this time, and he owed something to others, but unexpectedly, they also joined the publicity team.
No wonder the box office suddenly increased so much yesterday.
Xiao He asked: [Did they all go?]
Brother Jian: [Everyone went! Men, women, young and old, all went out. You have no idea how passionate we were. If I hadn't been tied up with work, even I would have wanted to join them.]
It is said that husband and wife are birds of a feather, but they fly away separately when disaster strikes, but in fact, it is the same for the crew and the stars.
When an actor is involved in a scandal, everyone tries to avoid it to avoid being implicated. However, unexpectedly, "The Swordsman" actually rose to the challenge. Not only did they not have internal strife, but they worked together to move forward.
Could this be the cohesion that comes from having trained together and learned martial arts together?
Brother Jian thought about it and sent a few more pictures.
[This is a photo from yesterday. I have to say, your crew's performance style has a bit of a team spirit.]
Xiao He clicked on the photo and took a look. He saw that the actors' promotional performances were all somersaults and swordplay.
Xiao He: [These are all the moves I taught them before.]
Brother Jian: [6]
Although the content is roughly the same, the audience for each event is different, and the performances are wonderful and eye-catching, making it always new to watch.
When several groups carry out publicity at the same time, the effect is multiplied.
In just a few days, Xiao He saw obvious results.
With such high-intensity publicity and the high reputation of the film, the box office began to rise sharply.
From the fourth to the last, to the fifth to the sixth...
Then climb forward step by step, going up one step at a time.
Half a month later, "The Swordsman" had already ranked in the top five in daily box office.
During this period, many programs that Xiao He had previously led artists to participate in extended olive branches to him.
Xu Yizhou was promoting his work in cinemas and university towns while appearing on TV shows. Wen Keke and Zhong Zichuan's shows were also arranged one after another, so he was very busy.
A few days later, when the movie broke into the top three at the box office, Xiao He finally reunited with the rest of the crew.
This is the last promotional location.
School auditorium.
Before this, Xu Yizhou usually did publicity in the square, on the playground, and even at the entrance of the cafeteria. This time, after repeated negotiations with the school, Xiao He finally got the right to use the auditorium.
On this day, the auditorium was packed.
The actors who had not seen each other since the filming of "Swordsman" was completed met again at this time.
The fatigue of the past few days seemed to have dissipated, and it was back to the first day of promotion. Wonderful performances were performed one after another and laughter continued.
The promotion lasted until late at night before finally ending.
After leaving, all the actors and staff gathered together and cried bitterly.
An actor raised his glass in a restaurant and cried uncontrollably.
"This is the most desperate thing I've ever done in my life. In ten days, we traveled to fifteen cities. We've done everything we need to do. I can accept any outcome."
"Let's work together on the next movie!"
"Everyone here will definitely become famous! They will definitely have a bright future!"
The party lasted until late at night, and Xiao He drove them to the hotel.
After everyone left, I opened the back door and saw that Xu Yizhou had fallen asleep at some point.
After days of running around, he looked much darker and thinner.
Director Li Weiwei was drunk and came over to help. He blinked and pointed at something in Xu Yizhou's hand.
"What?"
Xiao He looked carefully.
On the round pillow, several sheep are sleeping peacefully, and the clouds surrounding them are smiling brightly.
Xiao He said: "His treasure."
After saying that, he turned to Li Weiwei and said, "You should go and rest too. I'll take him upstairs."
Li Weiwei was a little hesitant.
With Xiao He's strength, it wouldn't be difficult to bring Xu Yizhou back to the room, but that depended on how he did it.
"You won't carry him up there?" he inquired.
Xu Yizhou had just finished a long promotional work and was sleeping soundly at this time. If he was carried upstairs, he would definitely be woken up, which would be too cruel.
Xiao He asked back: "Am I that kind of person?"
She bent down, put one arm around Xu Yizhou's back, hooked his calf with the other hand, and gently picked him up.
"One-day-only princess hug."
After saying that, he walked towards the elevator at a steady pace.
When Li Weiwei saw this scene, he was sobered up by the shock.
This picture looks a bit weird no matter how you look at it.
Although Xu Yizhou was thin, he was still about 1.8 meters tall. At this moment, he was being held easily by Xiao He, who was half a head shorter than him, and was sleeping peacefully in her arms. There was a sense of harmony in the strangeness.
Li Weiwei couldn't help but take another look, then looked up at the sky.
Do your best and leave the rest to fate.
Now, we can only leave it to fate.
In half a month, how many places can a film crew go to for publicity?
134.
38 universities.
62 cinemas.
There are also countless temporary venues.
Every place they promoted and every person they met seemed to be continuing a force that was secretly accumulating strength, and then with a bang, it suddenly exploded the day after all the promotions were over!
On the way back from the crew, Xiao He received good news from Brother Jian.
[It topped the daily box office yesterday!!!]
Xiao He clicked on the picture and saw the freshly released box office statistics.
Although the daily box office of "Swordsman" was only a few hundred more than the second place, it was indeed the first place!
As soon as the news came out, everyone in the car became excited and sang all the way.
Xiao He opened Weibo and saw that many netizens were also surprised by this.
["The Swordsman" is actually number one at the box office today? When did it get there?]
[Isn’t it already cold?]
[I don’t think I’ve seen any hype marketing lately? What’s going on?]
[I just went to see the crew's promotional video a few days ago. They collected all the box office revenue by going to every school and movie theater, bit by bit! It was done honestly, without stealing or robbing.]
[I just checked it out and it's rated 9.6?! So high? Did I miss something?]
[Is it really that beautiful?]
…
The chain reaction after the publicity began to emerge.
As long as it tops the daily box office charts, it acts as invisible publicity, attracting more audiences to the cinema.
The effects are lasting and striking.
When everyone was worried that the daily box office ranking was only a brief moment of glory, new data came out the next day and "Swordsman" still ranked first, and the gap with the second place had widened quite a bit.
Then came the third day.
Day 4.
Day 5.
…
The popularity of this movie came slowly, but it has a strong staying power, as if it was giving back all the previous efforts of the crew in one go.
From the first day it reached the top, the box office experienced explosive growth and firmly held the first place.
Even so, many people haven't seen it yet.
In response to numerous calls, cinemas increased the number of screenings overnight and every show was packed.
For 18 yuan, you won’t get cheated, and you can watch a good movie, have a meal together, or go on a date. Why not give it a try?
Under such high popularity, the box office of "Swordsman" that had fallen behind in the early stage soon caught up, and the total box office continued to rise.
Soon, he made it into the top three.
And judging from the current daily increase, catching up from the previous two to the previous one is not a problem at all!
Even Blue Star Entertainment was shocked by this miracle and made an appointment with Xiao He that night.
"How did you do it? The company wants other films to learn from it."
Xiao He took out a box of tickets and promotional records and poured them on the table.
“Within half a month, if you visit all these places, the miracle will be accomplished.”
Everyone was shocked when they saw the mountain of train tickets on the table.
Such perseverance and ability to act are simply not possible with other movies and cannot be learned.
In the following month, "The Swordsman" still sat firmly on the throne of the number one box office in Japan.
Until the last day of its release, the popularity remained unabated, and the total box office reached number one, even surpassing the record of the previous work "Zombieland".
With such high box office, the ratings are also high.
[The most successful martial arts films of the past decade]
[Rekindle the audience's martial arts dream]
[Finally, we see the signs of the resurgence of martial arts]
[Martial arts is back!]
…
Countless praises are associated with "The Swordsman".
The day after the movie was released, the crew held a grand celebration banquet.
All the box office dividends were gradually deposited into the accounts of every actor, director and investor, bringing both fame and fortune, and everyone was smiling happily.
Even Brother Jian, who only invested 200,000 yuan, received a generous return of more than ten times.
He was smiling throughout the entire banquet.
He found Xiao He with a glass of wine in hand and asked curiously, "How much dividend did you get?"
In this movie, Xiao He is not only the producer, but also the largest investor. She only invested 200,000 yuan, but she still got so much. Her dividend figure is simply unbelievable.
Xiao He nodded slightly.
“A lot, very warm.”
Hearing this, Brother Jian grinned.
"That's great! Who would have thought you would pull off such a brilliant comeback? Many people must be regretting this now, like He Yunshu."
"She didn't invest, so what is there to regret?" Xiao He said calmly.
He Yunshu is He Yunshu, and Xu Yizhou is Xu Yizhou.
They have no relationship now.
Brother Jian's eyes widened, and he leaned over and lowered his voice mysteriously, "Don't you know? He Yunshu is about to get into big trouble, and it's impossible to suppress it."
