Chapter 428: Goal Achieved



Tian Pengyu had no choice but to promote the film in the old way, advertising on TV, in newspapers and magazines, and asking a group of actors to help with the publicity.

Although Lu Jiaxin did not give extra publicity fees, she asked Tian Pengyu to pay for well-known media people and film critics to watch the movie. As long as they said the movie was good, many audiences would flock to the theater.

On the day the film was scheduled to be released, Lu Jiaxin and Nie Zhan also went to watch it. When she entered the theater and saw that the occupancy rate was less than 30%, she raised her eyebrows. It seemed that the publicity and promotion were not in place!

After watching the movie, the two of them left and Nie Zhan said with a smile: "With this attendance rate, it looks like our movie is going to lose money."

Lu Jiaxin shrugged and said nonchalantly, "It's a loss, just think of it as spending money for fun."

Nie Zhan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. Compared to those rich girls who spent money like water, Lu Jiaxin was very frugal.

Because it was released together with Golden Harvest, it still earned 70,000 yuan at the box office even though the attendance rate was not high on the first day. Of course, it was mainly due to the popularity of the leading actors and actresses; the box office rose to 120,000 yuan on the second day, probably because people who had seen it recommended it to their relatives and friends.

Nie Zhan jokingly said that he was better than Nie Jingting, as he made nine movies and the highest box office was only 350,000.

Lu Jiaxin rolled her eyes at him and said, "Given the quality of my movie, it's impossible for me to lose money. It just depends on how much profit I make."

This movie is still not outdated after more than 30 years, how could it lose money?

On the third day, the comments of well-known media people and film critics were published. Some praised the acting skills of the actors, some praised the good plot, and some praised the excellent costumes and props. Of course, there were praises and criticisms. Some criticized the plot for being out of touch with reality; some criticized it for being a wolf in sheep's clothing, and it was clearly advertised as a love movie, but the heroine was only focused on her career, and love was just a diversion for her; some criticized the third male lead for being too ugly, which affected the viewing experience; and some even criticized it for not being a movie but a fashion show. It is normal for a movie to have some people praising it and some criticizing it, but it would be fake if everyone praised it.

These reviews aroused the curiosity of many people and made them go to the cinema. After watching the movie, these people thought it was good and recommended it to people around them. Especially women, after watching the movie, they discussed the outfits and makeup in the movie with others.

The box office was getting higher day by day, and Tian Pengyu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He had never been so proud before. On the seventh day of the movie's release, the sales of Green Forest and the five sets of jewelry began to rise.

In general, the actresses in movies have good outfits, and the audience will buy them if they think they are beautiful. But in "Legally Blonde", the actress is mature and steady, the second actress is charming, the third actress is pretty and smart, and the fourth actress is cute and lovely. The outfits in the movie are very consistent with their personalities. No matter what type of girl you are, you can find one that matches you in the movie.

Susan called Lu Jiaxin and said excitedly, "Boss, many clothes in our store are sold out. Customers who can't buy the goods have offered to pay a deposit and we will notify them to pick them up when the goods arrive."

She regretted not insisting on her own opinion and stocking up more goods. But then she thought, if the boss hadn't spent a lot of money on this movie, it wouldn't have brought such a large sales volume.

This was within Lu Jiaxin's expectations. She said calmly, "The store will take this opportunity to do some publicity to let everyone know that our store is one of the favorite places for young people in Hong Kong."

Young people pursue fashion trends, and they like to go to places that are definitely the most fashionable and trendy clothing. For those who pursue fashion, the first choice for buying clothes and bags is Green Forest.

"good."

Compared to Green Forest, the sales of Wufu Jewelry also increased, but not as much. This was also within Lu Jiaxin's expectations. Young people only spend one or two thousand yuan to buy a fashionable brand of clothes, which is within the consumption capacity of many people. But jewelry is different. Young people have limited incomes. It is not cost-effective to spend thousands or tens of thousands of yuan on jewelry, and they don't need it.

Lu Jiaxin didn't have high requirements for the movie, as long as she could make money, no matter how much or how little. She asked what she cared about: "Are Miss Lan and Miss Wang willing to sign a contract?"

Lan Yinggu's contract with TVB expires in April, and Miss Wang hasn't signed with an agency because she hasn't made a masterpiece yet. Both of them can be signed.

Tian Pengyu shook his head to indicate that both of them refused. All the movies produced by Wanting Film and Television failed, and this movie was invested by Miss Lu, so how could the two beauties dare to sign the contract?

Seeing Tian Pengyu talking to her about Wanting Film and Television, Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "You should report these things to Nie Jingting instead of telling me. I am not a shareholder of Wanting Film and Television."

What Lu Jiaxin didn't expect was that Nie Jingting found her the next day and said he wanted to sell Wanting Films to her. It only cost two million, which was very cheap.

Lu Jiaxin looked at this prodigal son and said helplessly, "The equipment of your film and television company is worth nearly 10 million. What's the difference between selling it to me at this price and giving it away for free?"

The fourth young master of the Nie family bought the best equipment. Before the hotel incident, Nie Jingshu was worth 40 to 50 million yuan, but now in order to raise funds for filming a movie, he has to go home and coax his mother and eldest brother to pay. There is no other way, all his money has been invested in this film and television company.

Nie Jingting did not hide anything and said, "Third sister-in-law, I originally wanted to give Wanting Films to you. When Third Brother found out, he said you wouldn't want it, so I just casually quoted a price."

"Third sister-in-law, I plan to go to Sijiu City to study acting. The initial plan is to study for two years. If you don't buy it, I will sell it to someone else. These machines and equipment will break down if they are not used."

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "I have to discuss this with A Zhan and listen to his opinion."

"good."

In the evening, the two talked about this matter while having dinner.

As soon as Nie Zhan heard her say that, he knew that she wanted to buy it, otherwise, with her personality, he would have refused long ago: "If you want to buy it, then buy it, don't worry about it."

Anyway, Tian Pengyu can handle the company's affairs, and Lu Jiaxin can buy it to make a movie for fun. "Legal Beauty" is not bad. The performance of the first movie is so impressive, and the future should not be bad.

Lu Jiaxin said, "I'm afraid that if your aunt finds out, she'll say I'm using you to take advantage of the Nie family."

Nie Zhan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about that. My aunt is hoping that he will sell the film and television company and go back to work. For her, making movies is not a proper job."

In the eyes of the older generation, actors are indeed considered to be low-class people. Therefore, no matter how famous a female star is, she will basically not be treated well when she enters a wealthy family.
