Chapter 171: The Suffering of the Ex
On May 30, "Fruit Hard Candy" will be broadcast on time at 8 pm on four video websites: Kunlang, Xingyao, MiLi, and Xiaoma.
On May 31, "Hard Candy" received over 10 million views in less than 24 hours after it was released.
On June 2, the box office of "Hard Candy" exceeded 100 million!
…
Today, June 7, the box office of "Hard Candy" reached 160 million yuan, which seems to be a little distance from 200 million yuan.
Obviously, just as Yu Xiaoshu had guessed before, "Hard Candy" is a niche film after all. Although the box office exceeded 100 million in the first three days, it only took 50 million in the next four days.
And this is despite the crazy promotion by four video websites plus Baiqian Media and Xiaoma Entertainment.
But even so, "Hard Candy" still shocked countless people, and even made them look sideways.
160 million.
This is a new record for online movies.
The most important thing is that the box office of "Hard Candy" is still soaring.
If we follow the general trend of online movies, the second week should be the peak period, but due to the exposure of "Hard Candy" in the first week, it is hard to say how the box office will perform in the second week.
However, even so, the four video websites still hope that Baiqian Media can cooperate in promotion.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon, "Hard Candy" held a celebration banquet as scheduled.
This time, the celebration banquet must have a host.
Yu Xiaoshu invited You Xiangxue, after all, they had good cooperation and tacit understanding.
Bao Nan will participate!
After all, apart from Zhou Xiaozhi and Tang Tian, Bao Nan is the only leading actor.
Of course, Yu Xiaoshu also invited several amateurs, including Yu Miao, the owner of "Gardenia Blossoms".
Because of the current popularity of "Hard Candy", the "Gardenia Blossoms" cafe has also become popular. Many people regard this cafe as a check-in place. Originally, Yu Miao opened the "Gardenia Blossoms" cafe because he likes the quietness, after all, he is a literary youth.
But now? ?
Every day, "Gardenia Blossoms" is always packed, and you even have to queue up to have a chance to come in and check in.
Yu Miao was so busy that she had to hire two more waiters.
But it was still quite cool for Yu Miao.
Because Yu Miao herself is a fan of Lou Zi, there is a Lou Zi fan corner in "Gardenia Blossoms". Many people come to the cafe, and in addition to listening to the song "Gardenia Blossoms", they also listen to the three songs "Come Across the Ocean to See You", "Courage" and "The Most Romantic Thing".
The atmosphere is here.
Especially young couples would find it hard not to like these three love songs while listening to them in a cafe.
As a result, more fans like Lou Zi.
Lou Zi and Li Hua also attended today's celebration banquet.
The two prepared to sing the song "I Crossed the Ocean to See You" together.
The celebration party started on time at 2 pm.
Yu Xiaoshu cancelled the red carpet segment and did not invite any celebrities to attend.
Because there is no need.
Today's protagonists are Tang Tian and Zhou Xiaozhi, the leading actors of "Hard Candy". Even Bao Nan can only be considered a supporting role.
Backstage, Yu Xiaoshu smiled at You Xiangxue and said, "Later questions will focus on Tang Tian and Zhou Xiaozhi. I don't need to ask any questions."
As a screenwriter, Yu Xiaoshu doesn't need to be in the front stage, and he doesn't need the spotlight.
But Tang Tian needs it, and Zhou Xiaozhi needs it even more.
What's more, today's celebration banquet is also a warm-up for the upcoming TV series.
You Xiangxue said: "Okay, no problem, Teacher Yu, is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"
"No, this isn't the first time we've worked together."
Yu Xiaoshu waved his hand slightly and said, "As for the rest, you can decide for yourself."
"good."
You Xiangxue nodded gently: "Then Teacher Yu, I will go and prepare."
After You Xiangxue left, Bao Nan came over and said, "Xiaoshu."
"Bao Nan, how about the script?"
Yu Xiaoshu asked with a smile: "Can you grasp the character of Su Mingyu?"
"Xiao Shu, don't change the subject."
Bao Nan said with a somewhat unfriendly expression: "You actually agreed to Lou Zi???"
Yu Xiaoshu was stunned: "What did I promise Lou Zi?"
"What did you promise???"
Bao Nan raised his eyebrows and said, "You actually asked Qu Die Yu Xiao to write songs for Lou Zi, and he wrote 3 songs..."
What does this have to do with anything?
Yu Xiaoshu was completely confused.
"Little tree."
"Little tree."
At this time, Zhou Xiaozhi and Lou Zi also came over.
The three exes were on the same stage for the first time.
Lou Zi and Bao Nan would quarrel whenever they met, but Lou Zi and Zhou Xiaozhi seemed to have a good relationship like best friends. During the filming of "Hard Candy", Lou Zi visited Zhou Xiaozhi on the set many times.
Lou Zi had only heard of Yu Xiaoshu's childhood sweetheart before, but had never had any close contact with her. However, after getting to know Zhou Xiaozhi, Lou Zi suddenly felt a little sorry for her.
As a result, the relationship between the two became better and better.
In contrast, the relationship between Lou Zi and Bao Nan became worse and worse.
Lou Zi looked at Bao Nan without saying anything, but his eyes seemed to contain murderous intent.
On the contrary, Zhou Xiaozhi's eyes were quite innocent.
Zhou Xiaozhi had heard of both Lou Zi and Bao Nan. She didn't have any thoughts about these two sisters because to her, they were all just exes.
Do you feel bad for your ex? ?
But Lou Zi and Bao Nan didn't think so.
"You're here too."
Lou Zi looked at Bao Nan and said sarcastically, "I thought you weren't coming. After all, you're just a supporting role today."
"I am a supporting role, but I am better than a passerby like you."
Bao Nan said unwillingly.
"NO, I'm not just a passerby. I'm going to perform a show later. I'm a guest performer."
Lou Zi said seriously: "Remember, I am the guest performer!"
"Oh."
Bao Nan chuckled: "He's just an ordinary person."
"Jealous, you are jealous. Alas, are you jealous because Xiaoshu is so nice to me?"
Lou Zi said unwillingly.
Bao Nan laughed, "I'm jealous of you? Xiaoshu wrote "The Undocumented Crime" and "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" for me. Now, he has written a TV series for me with a female lead. It will be officially announced soon. Do you think I'm jealous of you? We are true love."
Lou Zi said with a chuckle: "That's just because Xiao Shu feels sorry for you. He thinks you've been in the entertainment industry for so long but are still a second-tier star, and are about to fall to the third-tier. On the contrary, Xiao Shu truly loves me. He even asked Qu Die Yu Xiao to sing for me."
Bao Nan laughed in anger: "Come on, forget it. I am almost downgraded to the third tier, but how outdated are you? You still have the nerve to criticize me? In my opinion, Xiaoshu is the one who pities you."
Lou Zi said stubbornly: "But Xiaoshu promised me."
"I'll never promise you anything. I just asked Xiaoshu, but he didn't know anything. So how could he possibly like you?"
Bao Nan ruthlessly exposed Lou Zi's lies.
The two of them were fighting fiercely.
Zhou Xiaozhi also had a look of surprise on her face. She really didn’t know that it was possible to quarrel with an ex in this way?
They are all exes.
Why are they still so proud?
Yu Xiaoshu was also having a headache.
In fact, he really didn't expect that Bao Nan and Lou Zi would fight as soon as they met, and he had tried his best to prevent the two from meeting. However, today's "Hard Candy" celebration banquet was arranged by Liu Qianqian, and by the time he found out, it was too late.
Originally, Yu Xiaoshu was thinking that the two would give way to each other a little.
But I never expected that.
They started fighting as soon as they met.
"Bao Nan, Lou Zi, the two of you should restrain yourself. I won't think about love for the time being. We are all friends, I hope you don't think too much."
Yu Xiaoshu had to pull the two apart.
Bao Nan said: "Xiao Shu, I understand. I'll go put on makeup first, don't worry."
Lou Zi also said: "Xiao Shu, I understand too."
After they finished talking, they went to the lounge to put on makeup.
Yu Xiaoshu was even more confused.
What do these two know?
"Xiao Zhi, what do they know???"
Yu Xiaoshu turned and asked Zhou Xiaozhi.
Zhou Xiaozhi gently patted Yu Xiaoshu's shoulder and sighed, "What do you think? Okay, I'll go get ready too."
Yu Xiaoshu: “???”
The confused tree has borne fruit.
Fortunately, Tang Tian and Li Hua arrived in time so that Yu Xiaoshu no longer had the mind to think about this matter.
"Teacher Yu."
Both Tang Tian and Li Hua spoke with a little respect.
Tang Tian was respectful because Yu Xiaoshu helped him make a successful comeback with "Hard Candy", and more importantly, he was looking forward to the next TV series.
Li Hua was respectful because Yu Xiaoshu made him famous with a song.
Yu Xiaoshu is Yu Xiao.
If people in the circle knew this, they would be shocked.
"Li Hua, go get ready. Go discuss your upcoming appearance with Zhou Xiaozhi first."
Yu Xiaoshu spoke to Li Hua first.
Li Hua said: "Okay, I'll go get ready then."
After Li Hua left, Yu Xiaoshu said to Tang Tian, "Today we will officially announce the TV series All Is Well. The interview will focus on this topic. Go find You Xiangxue first and tell her the outline of the questions."
Tang Tian said excitedly: "Okay, Teacher Yu, I'll go right away."
After a while, Yu Miao and Chen Fang arrived together.
"Teacher Yu."
Yu Miao and Chen Fang spoke equally respectfully.
"Chen Fang, you are also the protagonist today. During the interview, the host will ask questions about the filming of "Hard Candy". You go find You Xiangxue first. I just asked Tang Tian to find her. You should go over there now."
Yu Xiaoshu spoke to Chen Fang first.
Chen Fang said quickly: "Okay."
"Miao Miao, will you go on stage later?"
Yu Xiaoshu looked at Yu Miao with a smile and said, "If you want to go on stage, you can..."
"Teacher Yu, forget it."
Yu Miao waved her hands and said, "I still have some social anxiety, although I'm almost cured of it recently."
"Okay then."
Yu Xiaoshu didn't force it: "Come on, I'll take you to see Lou Zi."
"Thank you, Mr. Yu."
Yu Miao showed joy on her face.
Although Lou Zi had taken the initiative to go to the coffee shop to apologize to Yu Miao before, the meeting was too short after all, and they didn't even have time to take a photo together. There were no more opportunities afterwards.
But today is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Originally, Yu Miao was still thinking about how to talk to Yu Xiaoshu.
She never expected that Yu Xiaoshu would take the initiative to take her to meet Lou Zi.
In Louzi's lounge, Yu Xiaoshu knocked on the door and entered.
"Lou Zi, your fans are here."
Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "I heard that the 'Gardenia Blossoms' coffee shop is packed these days, and Yu Miao has been promoting you a lot."
"No, no, I am happy to do these."
Yu Miao hurriedly said, "As long as I can make more people like Zizi, I will be satisfied."
This is a true fan.
Compared with other true fans, true fans like Yu Miao are even rarer.
We have said before that one wonderful metaphor is worth countless cheating fans.
"Okay, you guys chat."
Yu Xiaoshu glanced at the time and said, "I have something else to do."
When idols and fans meet, Yu Xiaoshu is probably afraid that both sides will feel awkward.
At this time, the celebration banquet was getting closer and closer.
You Xiangxue was reviewing the interview script with Zhou Xiaozhi, Tang Tian, Chen Fang, and Bao Nan. Since Yu Xiaoshu had made it clear that he would not accept interviews for the time being, it would basically be the four of them who would be on stage at the celebration banquet later.
As for a few amateurs, some like Yu Miao didn't want to go on stage.
So, the protagonists of the celebration banquet are these four people.
At this time, the live broadcast rooms of the four video websites Kunlang, Xingyao, MiLi and Xiaoma have already been opened.
"Oh my god, why hasn't he shown up yet?"
"Actually, I really want to hear Yu Xiaoshu's analysis of "Hard Candy"."
"I want to know, too. Also, I want to know if there will be a sequel."
"I don't think a sequel is possible."
…
The discussion in the live broadcast room was quite intense.
At this time, there was only half an hour left before the live broadcast started.
Gu Tianqi also arrived backstage at the "Hard Candy" celebration party.
"Teacher Yu."
Gu Tianqi saw Yu Xiaoshu coming over and hurried over to greet him: "Should we start now or later?"
"Wait until the celebration party is over."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "You will have the opportunity to ask three questions during the celebration banquet. Take a look at these three questions yourself."
Gu Tianqi took the note from Yu Xiaoshu and took a deep breath when she saw it: "Teacher Yu, isn't this a bit cruel?"
“Not cruel.”
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head and said, "The celebration banquet was originally to promote Hard Candy, so how can the questions not be explosive?"
Gu Tianqi nodded gently: "Then I understand."
"good."
Yu Xiaoshu glanced at the time and said, "Go get ready."
Half an hour later, the celebration party for "Hard Candy" officially began.
The celebration banquet began with the song "I Came Across the Ocean to See You".
The focus of the live broadcast room was not on the song.
The topic they discussed most was: "Maybe we don't need a host again?"
It would be really interesting if there wasn’t a host for the celebration party for “Hard Candy” this time.
Fortunately, this expectation was dashed.
After the song was finished, You Xiangxue came on stage.
