After the second week's box office statistics came out, "The Queen" became the weekly box office champion of the July period and showed no signs of weakness.
There is no doubt that this movie fully proves the commercial value of Wei Lan's films.
Even though the box office performance of "Rural Teacher" was higher, the industry later analyzed that its box office myth was due to the right time, right place and right people. It can be said that it relied on "Star Wars" to become popular, and cleverly used Teacher's Day as a promotional selling point. It was blessed by the system, and it is impossible to replicate it again.
"The Queen", whether in terms of casting, script, or release timing, follows the conventional commercial film operation model, yet it also achieved excellent box office results.
It can be said to be a model of positive publicity case for film investment in the industry.
Especially this time's advertising placement has allowed the entire industry to see the broad commercial space of this path.
So even though some film critics thought Wei Lan had "degraded herself" by making commercial films, producers in the film industry praised her highly.
The Producers Guild also presented the film with an annual Best Contribution Award. Association awards like this are not given out at a fixed time, but are usually awarded on an ad hoc basis based on the association's vote. Even though it is not an authoritative and influential award like the Golden Tripod Award, no one would complain about receiving too much praise.
While "The Queen" was making great strides in the box office, the second installment of "Two Treasures in the Family" also arrived as scheduled.
This was all filmed by Wei Lan and his team over three days and two nights, but it is divided into two parts.
With the explosive gags in the first episode, this variety show became extremely popular, and the popularity of the second episode far exceeded that of the first episode last week.
'I haven't seen you for a week. I miss Lanbao so much!'
'After supporting Lanlan's movies, why can't we support her variety shows? '
Because of Wei Lan's inexplicable "out-of-the-box" performance in the previous episode, many viewers have been commenting on her in the barrage since this episode began.
The entire three days and two nights, the first day was used to get to know the guests and find accommodation, the second day was used to make tea and fish to promote Lin'an Town, and the third day was the last day, when the program team would carry out some game-like activities.
"Cat and mouse!"
After bringing everyone to the central square of Lin'an Town, Zhu Hao excitedly announced the content of the game.
Seeing Wei Sijia next to her eager to try, Wei Lan's mouth twitched. She could understand that the three children next to her liked this kind of game, but what was wrong with these four adults? Shouldn't young people of their age like to lie down and play games on their phones? Why were these guests in their early twenties so excited about this kind of entertainment!
She had to admit that she was already an old person mentally. Even when she was outdoors, she wanted to find a reclining chair to quietly enjoy the sunshine and breeze, just like Mrs. Zhou did every day...
Unfortunately, the people around her couldn't hear Wei Lan's inner thoughts at all. They even looked at her standing there quietly listening to the rules of the game, and later labeled her with the words "serious" and "focused".
The audience in the barrage also felt that Wei Lan was very serious at this time.
"Lanbao has good habits. I haven't seen such a quiet and well-behaved child in a long time. Whether it's making tea or fishing, he studies everything very attentively and seriously."
"This boy is so terrifying, he will become a great man in the future."
'Lanlan: How can we win the game later?'
"The rules of cat and mouse are very simple. The scope of our game is in this mall." Zhu Hao said, and then the camera moved up and expanded to a panoramic view of the entire mall.
The narrator introduced: "Fuxing Shopping Mall was built in 2008. It has a total of four floors. It is an urban complex that integrates shopping and dining..."
"All the children are mice. They will have 20 minutes to hide, while the older brothers and sisters need to wait where they are and then start looking for them. The cat finds the mouse based on the scoring system. Each guest must find his or her own younger brother or sister to be eligible to compete for the final victory. In addition, the cat guest will get one more point for each 'little mouse' he or she catches."
"In other words, if you want to win, the first thing you need to do is to find your own treasure, and then try to find other treasures to get more points."
Following Zhu Hao’s introduction, a comic illustration was added later: “From the children’s perspective, they have to hide so as not to be found by the guests other than their brothers and sisters.”
"Now is the time to test the tacit understanding among the brothers and sisters and babies."
"The winner with the highest score will receive the great gift prepared by Fuxing Shopping Mall -"
Zhu Hao stretched out his hand behind him as he spoke, and a white bear doll that was as big as three people hugging together appeared in everyone's sight. Even when it was sitting, it was still more than two meters tall. When the children saw the doll, they all showed an expression of "wow" and love on their faces.
Who says children don’t have vanity?
Having such a big toy will make you look great among your peers, right?
Looking at this white bear, Wei Lan felt no emotion at all. He just recalled the fear of being dominated by the various large dolls bought by Ye Luoxue at the Wei family...
Moreover, as an adult soul, taking this kind of game seriously at this time is obviously bullying the children. Even though the "cats" he is facing now are these adults, Wei Lan thinks this is just a relaxing activity and has no intention of trying hard to win.
Just find an ordinary place to hide for a while, and then be found neither too fast nor too slow.
"Okay, is everyone clear about the rules?" Zhu Hao looked at the four teams of guests in the center of the mall. After seeing the adults nodded, he looked at the children.
The children didn’t know whether they really understood or not, but they all nodded to show that they understood.
"In that case, put blindfolds on the guests, and the babies are ready to start looking for places to hide."
Before putting on the blindfold, Wei Lan looked at Wei Sijia and gave her a look: You know.
Wei Sijia thought of the pile of dolls in Wei Lan's room at home, and then looked at the big white bear in front of her, which could be said to be the "glory of the dolls", and gave Wei Lan a look in return:
Got it. Let’s work hard to win the game. We two adults will definitely win!
"Then I declare the game to begin! Twenty minutes, babies, start looking for places to hide. Three, two, one, let's go!"
At this time, as Zhu Hao spoke, the four children had left the first floor of the mall and got on the sightseeing elevator. The four cameramen followed their footsteps, and the screen was briefly divided into four parts again.
The children on three of the screens were running around excitedly, except for Wei Lan, who was walking briskly...
While the other three children were looking around in the mall for where to hide, Wei Lan had a clear goal and went straight to the third floor.
This is...the children's products sales area.
The children's products section sells children's products. Similarly, there will be many child models. Wei Lan felt that he could find a place to blend in with them. As long as he looked carefully, he would be easily discovered, and at the same time, it would not be so obvious that he was letting people down.
Because of the filming of the show, all businesses in Fuxing Shopping Mall will not refuse children from entering.
Wei Lan originally walked to a children's clothing area, preparing to sit in the window and pretend to be a child mannequin, but he thought that even if he was sitting, it would be too tiring to keep the same posture.
Until she walked into a children's bed store...
The audience watched Wei Lan ask the merchant for help, and then the merchant's aunt helped Wei Lan take off her shoes and hat, put her in the crib with a smile on her face, and covered her with a matching quilt.
The photographer who was following the shooting: “…”
The barrage fell into a suffocating silence again.
Later, a particularly appropriate emoticon was added to the scene where Wei Lan lay down: serene.jpg
