Chapter 199: The first crush of the year! Where is the deep love

Huayi Brothers also obtained the second week box office data of "Cell Phone".

To be honest, if there was no "Crazy Stone" for comparison, they would be very happy and even release the good news with great enthusiasm.

About 19 million.

Rounding it off, it’s exactly 20 million.

After two weeks, the box office has reached 45 million. As a result, the final box office will reach about 60 million, which has surpassed "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" and will basically win the box office championship this year.

but……

"Crazy Stone" grossed 29.8 million in its second week.

This data is enough to make people's defenses break down.

In the first week, Crazy Stone only had 40% of the box office on mobile phones, but in the second week it was 1.5 times as much.

When the CEO of Huayi and Feng Dapao saw this data, they really doubted their lives.

Is this a ghost?

What happened?

Of course, basically on Tuesday and Wednesday, they received a lot of feedback from theaters.

"Crazy Stone" is very weird, and there are more and more viewers who are attracted by it for unknown reasons.

Moreover, it is increasing day by day.

But when the real data came out, it still brought a huge shock.

"Are they cheating? Swapping tickets?"

Well, there are still only a few movies that inflate the box office these days, but in a few years there will be more and more of them.

"Probably not. According to feedback from various theaters, they are all real audiences."

Mr. Wang: "Where did these audiences come from? I didn't see them doing any major publicity."

In terms of publicity, the crew of "Cell Phone" also organized meet-and-greet sessions in Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu, and several main creators also attended.

On the other hand, there are no activities at all on the "Crazy Stone" side.

Portal websites, traditional entertainment newspapers and magazines, and TV stations have not done any public relations.

Is this a ghost?

But the box office just kept going up for some unknown reason.

"The reason should be here." Someone opened the Facebook website, Lingxi Island's social networking site, and various BBSs.

This place is flooded with posts about "Crazy Stone".

Especially on Facebook, the popularity is incredibly high.

Almost all the users who are slightly popular and have a relatively large number of fans have participated in the "Crazy Stone" event.

Post photos of yourself watching "Crazy Stone" from various angles, show your movie ticket, and then add a line from the movie to prove that you have seen the movie.

Some even put a corner of their luxury bag in the movie ticket.

Some of them have their own snow-white grooves on the edges of the movie tickets.

Some show off their long legs.

The content of the copywriting is also very strange, and many of them are even: Do you want to meet me by chance? I am in the hall of the X-movie theater.

"There wasn't much movement in traditional media, but on Facebook, it was overwhelming!"

"In various communities, these college students have launched all kinds of strange activities."

"For example, a movie theater social. Two dormitories or two classes go to the theater and buy tickets blindly. It's all a matter of luck who sits next to whom. If you're lucky, there's a pretty girl sitting next to you."

"In Jiayuan.com, a vigorous movie theater matchmaking event was also launched."

"Facebook has more than 10 million users, most of whom are college teachers and students. Jiayuan.com has several million users, most of whom are urban white-collar workers. These two groups have strong consumption potential."

"There are also fans of Master Ergou. After the word-of-mouth spread of the movie, they became even more aggressive, claiming that they would go to every corner."

"Their slogan is, I allow you not to look, but I don't allow you not to see."

Hearing this slogan, Hua Yi and Feng Dapao became even angrier.

This slogan comes from our movie "Big Shot".

“Is it completely impossible to suppress it? Is Facebook really that powerful?” Mr. Wang couldn’t help but ask.

Once this data comes out, how can we save our face?

………………

When the manager of Sichuan Pacific Cinemas released the box office data, it first caused a stir in the circle, followed by fierce questioning.

By Wednesday.

The female manager posted an announcement on the official website, saying that she was too anxious, so there were indeed some errors in the data.

Now, she has contacted the managers of theaters across the country, and after a data summary, she has obtained relatively authoritative data. She is currently conducting the final calculations and verifications, and will release the authoritative data in about a few hours.

Just one and a half hours later! The official website of Sichuan Pacific Cinemas gave an authoritative box office ranking.

The previous estimate has been revised.

The box office of "Crazy Stone" in the second week was not 29.8 million, but 31.5 million, so the total box office has reached 42.1 million.

"Cell Phone" grossed 19.2 million in its second week, bringing its total box office to 46 million.

So far, "Cell Phone" is still the top box office movie during the Lunar New Year holiday, but "Crazy Stone" is catching up closely and the gap is getting smaller and smaller.

Although "Crazy Stone" has never done any public relations on portal websites, they will never miss any news that has gimmicks and traffic.

Several major portals immediately moved Pacific Cinemas’ data to their own websites.

And the title given is particularly scary.

The box office of "Crazy Stone" crushes "Cell Phone"! The box office of "Crazy Stone" is 1.5 times that of "Cell Phone".

Leader Ergou crushes Huayi Brothers and Feng Dapao!

On this day, Feng Dapao took his wife to attend an event, and a bunch of reporters came.

"Director Feng, Crazy Stone has surpassed Cell Phone and has shown a crushing advantage. What do you think?"

"Director Feng, Cui Yongyuan called your movie Cell Phone a third-rate film. What do you think?"

"Director Feng, Master Ergou claims that the box office of Crazy Stone will exceed 70 million. Do you think it can be achieved?"

"Director Feng, what do you think the final box office of Cell Phone will be? Who will win or lose in the end?"

Feng Dapao completely ignored it at first, with a gloomy face and no words.

Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and cursed directly: "Is your attitude of gloating over other's misfortune interesting?"

"Why don't you go ask Master Ergou how he got all these box office successes?"

"Is it interesting to make it like a cult? It has completely ruined the atmosphere of the film industry."

"What's the difference between this and cheating on the box office?"

The media was excited again. It turned out to be Feng Dapao. He was still so bold as ever.

All of a sudden, the topic became a hot topic again.

It seemed that another war of words was about to break out.

But there was no response from Lin Xiao at all.

On the contrary, Cui Yongyuan kept bombarding Feng Dapao and "Cell Phone", cursing that they were a group of gangsters and that "Cell Phone" was a third-rate film.

And we adhere to the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Cui Yongyuan has praised "Crazy Stone" on various occasions.

"The movie Cell Phone is shit. It's a completely cheesy, third-rate film."

"Crazy Stone is a truly good movie. The script structure and the actors' performances are first-rate."

"Don't listen to the nonsense that those film critics say. What level can they reach? A large group of them become film critics because they can't make it in the film industry."

"Who would write film reviews if they were serious filmmakers and had films to make?"

In fact, this statement hits the root of the problem.

Although many film directors make a lot of bad films, the quality of their film reviews is extremely high.

Let’s not talk about Wong Jing, after all, he has made many successful commercial films, and his analysis of many movies is very accurate and profound.

There is also Wang Hailin, whose movies were criticized as bad, but when it comes to analyzing other movies, he is absolutely professional.

………………

2003 is coming to an end and 2004 is coming.

Lin Xiao looked at the three invitations in front of him and felt very embarrassed.

Jiangnan TV, Modou TV, and Zhijiang TV have all sent invitations to their New Year’s Eve parties.

And they are all core VIP positions.

Jiangnan TV and Shanghai TV are still okay, as their broadcast times are still staggered by one day.

But Zhijiang TV and Modou TV are in conflict.

Moreover, in response to the invitation to Facebook Night, the leaders of the three satellite TV stations all agreed to attend.

Therefore, Lin Xiao could only call Director Zhong of Zhijiang TV in advance to apologize.

Although he cannot attend Zhijiang TV's New Year's Eve Gala, Xia Xi and Gao Changhe will be there.

In addition, on January 9, he organized a group in Hangzhou and invited Director Zhong to dinner.

The other party expressed his understanding and said that the dinner on January 9 should not be arranged by Lin Xiao, but by him, after all, he was the host.

Lian Zheng has just become the mayor of Vancouver and is very busy during this period, but he was still very happy to accept the invitation.

In this way, Lin Xiao finally learned how to split himself into two.

First, I attended Jiangnan TV’s New Year’s Eve Gala as a VIP.

Then, he participated in the evening party of Shanghai Satellite TV.

Lin Xiao still attended this party with Li Shuang.

When Li Shuang returned to Shanghai TV again, he was filled with emotion.

Before, she was actually a second-tier host on Shanghai TV. She had no one to rely on and her personality was rather aloof, so her status in the station was not high.

This time...

As soon as it appeared, it was like the moon surrounded by stars.

"Sister Li, you are going too far. How could you bear not to come back to see us for so long? Have you forgotten the sisterhood we once had?"

"Sister Li, you are a fairy, you are growing younger! It's only been a year since we last met, and you must be at least five years younger."

"Sister Shuang, you have to give me a list of how you maintain your skin and what your skin care products are. I want to copy it."

The first-line hosts of the station, who used to be full of superiority and extremely reserved in front of her, were now very cordial.

"Boss Li, if one day I can't make it anymore, I'll come to you for help."

The one who had a good relationship with Li Shuang before even whispered in her ear: "You look so radiant, you must be nourished by love. It seems that Mr. Lin is quite powerful."

"I'm so envious. Not only is Mr. Lin rich, he's also so handsome and young."

There seems to be a consensus in the entire television industry.

Li Shuang is the lover of the boss of Lightning Group.

Because only this makes sense, otherwise why would you soar to the sky? It's fine if they let you be the host of If You Are the One, but they also let you be the producer.

It's fine if you're just a producer, but you're directly in charge of Shuanglin Productions. This is equivalent to jumping directly from a second-tier host to a capital.

But everyone in the circle doesn’t think there is anything wrong or bad about this.

If you have the resources, even an old and ugly man is valuable, and it's good enough to be able to be with him.

Besides, the CEO of Lightning Group is so young and handsome.

What's the difference between this and eating Tang Monk's flesh? Li Shuang never clarified these rumors. Because there are often gatherings in the circle, for example, after the leaders of Jiangnan TV got familiar with Li Shuang, they would make jokes about Li Shuang and Lin Xiao when they were drunk.

The New Year's Eve Gala of Shanghai TV can be said to be star-studded.

This time, Lin Xiao did not walk the red carpet with Li Shuang. He appeared with several Taiwan leaders and was the last to appear.

When the party started, his seat was in the middle of the first row.

Even when the host introduces the guests, his position is very front, and his identity and name are listed separately.

Shanghai TV gave us very high courtesy.

Not only that, the singers and actors of Lightning Entertainment were all present at the New Year's Eve parties of the three major satellite TV stations.

Even Huang Bo and Jiang Li'er sang at the party, even though they were clearly not singers.

During the entire evening party, the camera was frequently pointed at Lin Xiao and Li Shuang, but they were very smart. Whenever there was a close interaction with Lin Xiao and Li Shuang, the camera would never capture it. However, whenever Lin Xiao interacted with the leaders of the publicity department and the leaders of Shanghai TV, the camera would definitely capture it.

After the party, Wang Shiqing, director of the production center, hosted a banquet.

A small-scale banquet, with only six people in total.

Director, Deputy Director, Director of Advertising Center, Wang Shiqing, Lin Xiao, and Li Shuang.

Director Chen: "It still hurts to say this. Li Shuang is the best host in our station. I fell in love with her at first sight when she was on Phoenix TV News."

The deputy director laughed and said, "Director, what you said is not right. To be precise, I am happy, but also heartbroken. This is exactly like marrying off a daughter. Li Shuang is the daughter of our station who got married, and we will always be her family."

"Boss Lin, our Miss Li Shuang is really handing over the best jewel in her palm to you when she marries you."

"Is your married life harmonious?"

This kind of teasing is just right, a little ambiguous, but not too much.

Li Shuang glanced at Lin Xiao and said, "Don't worry, leaders. Our married life is very harmonious. The only discord is that our CEO Lin is too dazzling. I get dazed and infatuated after just a few glances."

The deputy director said, "It's not okay to keep going upside down. You have to take the initiative sometimes."

This kind of joke ends there.

When Wang Shiqing mentioned a small pot of wine, he was referring to a typical 3 liang pot.

"Mr. Lin, I was the first person you approached for If You Are the One, but because I was conservative and afraid of taking risks, I missed the opportunity."

"But as the old saying goes, it's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost!"

"I did it, you can do whatever you want!"

Then he drank the small bottle of wine in one gulp.

Lin Xiao didn't stick to it either. He also poured himself a small pot and was about to drink it all.

"Don't..." Li Shuang said softly, "A husband and wife are of one mind, and their strength is invincible. Let's drink together!"

Then she rushed to take the jug of wine and drank most of it.

The lipstick was stained on the glass hip flask, leaving a perfect lip shape on it.

There was a small half left, so she handed it to Lin Xiao, and placed the part with the lip print directly in front of Lin Xiao's mouth.

"well……"

"Women are as good as men..."

Lin Xiao took it and drank the rest of the wine.

It seems that I can still taste the sweetness belonging to Li Shuang.

Director Wang Shiqing said with a smile: "Boss Lin, Boss Li, I've drunk too much, so I've become thick-skinned."

"Just now I said to mend the fold after the sheep have been lost, and now I am going to mend the fold directly."

“Is there a show?”

"Will you cooperate?"

Then he simply stretched out his hands.

Li Shuang smiled and said, "Yes, how can I go back to my parents' home empty-handed?"

Then, she took out the program plan from her bag and placed it in Director Wang's hand.

"China's Got Talent"! This show originated in the UK. After Canxing purchased the copyright, it cooperated with Dragon TV. The ratings skyrocketed. At its peak, the national ratings once reached 5.4%, which was higher than the peak of "If You Are the One".

This is a typical variety show that has swept the world and is very popular in the UK, the US, and China.

Of course, historically this show wouldn't be born until three years later in the UK.

So now... the copyright belongs entirely to Lin Xiao’s Shuanglin Production.

"It is indeed Master Ergou, with a genius concept and a genius idea!"

"Director, I am almost certain that this program will be a hit."

"Some of the ideas in it are really amazing."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

“I can’t wait to see the show now.”

"Master, please look quickly, please look quickly..."

In fact, just looking at this plan, there is nothing particularly amazing.

This kind of program will only look good and amazing after it is completed.

What can we see from the text?

But, they are supporting me.

The most important thing is that Leader Ergou has never been defeated from beginning to end!

Especially the recent box office of "Crazy Stone".

Who could have thought of this? Who could have guessed it? When the first week's box office figures came out, almost everyone thought it would be around 35 million, only half of Cell Phone.

As a result, after the box office results came out in the second week, no one understood it.

I don't understand.

But I know, it's awesome.

After watching it, Director Chen nodded and said, "Good, very good. I think it will be very exciting just by imagining it."

After watching it, the people from Shanghai TV applauded.

Director Wang said, "Boss Lin, I won't talk about the miracles you created. There are many things that we can't see through in advance, but you can. So can I borrow your wisdom for once? What are your expectations for the ratings of China's Got Talent?"

Then, several people stared at Lin Xiao.

Now, everyone trusts Lin Xiao’s vision and predictions.

Lin Xiao thought for a while and said, "It may even reach 3% or even 4% of the national viewership. This is what I expect."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone was excited, even a little bit unbelievable? So... so high? If it hadn't come from the mouth of the leader Ergou, no one would have believed it.

Shanghai TV is a first-tier TV station, but this viewership rating is also very scary. It is a completely phenomenal work.

But in fact, Lin Xiao is still conservative.

The other party was actually a little worried that Shuanglin Entertainment would give a mediocre program out of consideration.

But now it seems that is not the case. The goal of Master Ergou is to make it a hit, a huge hit.

"Master, this is not a way to mend the fold after the sheep have been lost..."

"This is about building a castle directly."

"All I can say is, we will definitely not let you down."

"I did it, you can do whatever you want."

Director Wang picked up the three-liang wine jug and drank it all in one gulp. He wasn't a very good drinker, but today he was going all out.

Then, both the host and the guests had a great time.

Even after the banquet was over, Director Wang still didn't let go of Lin Xiao. He put his arm around his shoulders and whispered, "Master, say something that will please a man."

"From now on, if any of your brothers and sisters need help, just ask."

"My door is completely open to you, okay..."

"If you like anyone, just say so, okay..."

"That's what being a man is all about, isn't it?"

Then, he looked at Lin Xiao's face and said in an unclear tone: "Brother, I'm jealous."

"I wish I were as young, handsome, and rich as you."

Lin Xiao couldn't hold back and said, "Brother, you're only in your thirties, aren't you awesome enough? You're a harvester of young girls and young women?"

Director Wang: "It's pretty impressive, but...it depends on who you're comparing yourself with."

"Before I met you, brother, I was very confident."

"We've agreed that when we go out for drinks, it's either you or me. You're too handsome, so I don't like sitting next to you..."

"I went to drink wine with Gao Changhe, he is ugly..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Next, the two people competed to get each other to the car first.

Director Wang Shiqing insisted on sending Lin Xiao to the car first, but Lin Xiao said that he should respect the elderly and send them to the car first.

Because of this incident, the two sides pushed and shoved each other for several minutes.

Finally decided to get in the car together.

After getting in the car, Li Shuang said angrily, "You've had a little too much to drink. Why are you so straightforward? If others want to do something, you just follow them."

"It doesn't matter how much you drink."

Then she took out a thermos containing honey lemon water, which was still warm.

She took a small sip to taste the temperature, then fed it to Lin Xiao.

"I've never seen Director Wang like this before. He's always very serious and has a lot of idol baggage." Li Shuang said, "I can't imagine him saying things like drinking prostitute wine or being a young woman harvester."

People are divided into classes.

Many sides of a person are revealed only in front of people of the same class or higher class.

In front of people of the same level or higher level, especially between two people, you are acting flawless and perfect for whom? Only by showing your shortcomings and flaws appropriately can you make people closer to you.

Li Shuang's younger brother Li Xiang did not work as a policeman in Linshan after all. After getting married on National Day, he came to Shanghai to become Lin Xiao's full-time driver.

"What do you think about your wife Xiaohe's job? Which company does she want to join?" Lin Xiao asked proactively.

Li Xiang is probably the most suitable person to be a driver. He has been a soldier and a policeman for a few months. He has been a mixed-race person and has strong fighting ability. However, he is a silent donkey who doesn't talk all day long.

Li Xiang: "I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Lin Xiao: "What else can I not say?"

Li Xiang: "She still wants to be a teacher."

The reason why he didn't say it was that he felt it was difficult to arrange a job for a teacher in Shanghai. After all, this thing is a system of employment.

Lin Xiao: "Then I'll be your teacher. I'll come over after the Spring Festival."

Now it is completely easy for Lin Xiao to arrange a teaching job.

"Okay." Li Xiang didn't say thank you.

The car stopped under Yongye Building. Lin Xiao was about to get off and go home, but was stopped by Li Shuang.

"Wait a moment……"

Li Shuang took out a men's perfume and sprayed it lightly on Lin Xiao.

"I was too close to you just now, don't let Momo smell it."

"This is what I prepared for you. Today is New Year's Eve and you're not with Momo. Although she doesn't care about this, she's very happy to have a gift."

"As for the little princess, I have also prepared it and have already sent it over. I have written the address and recipient in your handwriting."

"It's a necklace for Momo, custom made, with some natural colorful bubbles inside the gemstones. I think she will like it."

Li Shuang handed the customized necklace to Lin Xiao, but... she was still unwilling to let him get out of the car.

The two were so close that their breathing could be heard.

She stared at Lin Xiao's face, looking at his angular face, and there was really a strong emotion in her heart.

Kiss it.

Just kiss her regardless of anything.

Put the tongue into his mouth and turn it upside down.

But, in the end, she still spoke softly: "Okay, you go back..."

"Also, don't take a bath. You should also take it easy. You drank a little too much tonight." She said this in Lin Xiao's ear.

"Okay, I'll let you go..."

She turned her delicate body to the side and helped Lin Xiao unbuckle his seat belt. Her soft and plump body pressed against Lin Xiao's chest, and she stayed there for a few seconds with a slight attachment.

"Sister Shuang, I'm leaving..." Lin Xiao got out of the car.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Li Shuang waved, her eyes still fixed on Lin Xiao.

After Lin Xiao got off the car.

Li Shuang seemed to be lost all of a sudden. She curled up in the back seat, leaning her delicate body against the car window, staring at Lin Xiao's house in a daze.

Li Xiang couldn't help but ask: "Sister, you...you..."

"Shut up..." Li Shuang said coldly.

Li Xiang shut up decisively. In fact, even if Li Shuang didn't tell him to shut up, he wouldn't be able to finish what he said just now.

He originally wanted to ask, Sister, are you really not planning to get married in the future?

But then I realized that this question of mine was completely unnecessary.

Alas! As a driver, he understood Lin Xiao's feelings best.

However, he had no say, even though he was Li Shuang's younger brother.

Even he himself couldn't explain it clearly.

At this time, he was very glad that he only had Xiaohe.

The car soon drove to the downstairs of Li Shuang’s house, Yanlord Riverside Garden.

She won’t rent here next year. She has already found a villa and will buy it after the bidding for the advertising for the second season of If You Are the One comes out.

"Sister, do you want me to go upstairs with you?" Li Xiang asked.

"Let's go..." Li Shuang pushed the door and got out of the car, driving Li Xiang away.

When I got home, the floor heating was on very hot and my sister Li Xue had already fallen asleep. It was already past midnight.

She gracefully took off her skirt, revealing her mature and perfect body.

In the mirror, I admire my sexy self.

Especially the unique plump and round buttocks, which are really incomparable.

After she became rich, she spent a lot of time and money to maintain her body and beauty.

And success is the best nourishment. She is more sexy and beautiful than before.

It really shines.

So much so that she would admire her sexy body in front of the mirror every day, as if she was becoming less beautiful day by day.

The best years, the most mature years, the most beautiful years.

The days just go by, and I can't bear to let them go.

And she herself also had a feeling of wasting resources.

One day, one day... I will sit on you to death...

She mentally prepared herself again and again.

At this time, there was a noise in the next room. Li Xue has always lacked a sense of security since she was a child, and she would wake up at the slightest noise.

"Sister, are you back?" came the voice of younger sister Li Xue.

Suddenly, Li Shuang rushed to the sofa in a very embarrassed manner and quickly wrapped herself in a bath towel.

"Well, did I wake you up?" Li Shuang said softly.

Li Xue opened the door of the room in a daze and saw her sister sitting awkwardly on the sofa in the living room with a red face. It was so strange.

Li Shuang had only one thought in her mind, which was to buy a villa as soon as possible so that she could have fun on different floors.

……………………

January 6! Many people kept refreshing Sichuan Pacific's official website, waiting for the box office data released by the female manager.

How much will "Cell Phone" and "Crazy Stone" do at the box office in their third week?

The data this time has really attracted everyone's attention.

Especially Crazy Stone, the second week box office is amazing, let's see what kind of curve it will take in the third week? Moreover, after last week, the total box office of Cell Phone was still about 4 million higher than Crazy Stone.

Especially the die-hard fans of Master Ergou, who had no idea about the box office data before, have now studied it thoroughly.

Before the data was released, many posts emerged in the Facebook community speculating on the box office of "Crazy Stone".

"I predict that Crazy Stone will make 21 million yuan in its third week, and Cell Phone will make 13 million yuan."

"As long as it reaches 21 million, it will be a huge victory for Crazy Stone, which means that the final box office may exceed 80 million, exceeding the expectations of Master Ergou."

This is a post by Zhu Hongbin on Facebook. Because he is a die-hard fan and very rich, his opinions are very authoritative among Ergou’s fan group.

After he posted the message, many of Ergou’s fans set 21 million as the box office target for the third week.

result……

More than an hour later.

The estimated box office data for Sichuan Pacific Cinemas is out.

Zhu Hongbin was completely slapped in the face.

"Crazy Stone" box office in the third week, 33 million.

"Cell Phone" grossed 11 million in its third week.

When this number came out, Ergou’s fans were stunned.

In the third week, the market actually reversed the decline of the second week.

Although there is a New Year's Day holiday, but... this curve is really too scary.

Me, fuck!

Is it really necessary to be so exaggerated? So far, the total box office of Crazy Stone has reached 75 million, directly crushing Lin Xiao's expected goal of 70 million, and also directly crushing the total box office of Cell Phone of 56 million.

The most important thing is that the box office revenue of "Cell Phone" has been exhausted, and it will probably be just over 60 million at most.

And how high will "Crazy Stone" eventually reach?

Who knows?

In its third week, it even managed to reverse the decline. Who knows what its final box office will be? It's a complete crush!

………………

Note: I finally finished writing it. I'm going to have dinner. I'd like to ask, does the benefactor still have monthly tickets? (End of this chapter)
