After one month of release in theaters, "The Myth" grossed an astonishing 223 million.
This is just the mainland box office, not including video publishing and overseas box office.
It can be said that this movie has become a hit.
It completely broke the box office record for domestic films.
At the same time, it also far surpassed the box office performance of this previous movie.
There are many reasons for this box office result.
First, Chen Fan increased his investment from the beginning, so many scenes in the movie are more grand and exciting than those in his previous movies.
Second, Feifan Media’s exaggerated marketing and promotional methods cover both online and offline.
Third, on the Internet, Chen Fan used the navy for promotion for the first time. At that time, the navy was just a general concept, and many people did not realize how powerful the navy was. Chen Fan had already started to use the navy for publicity.
Of course, there is also the attraction of two big stars, Cheng Long and Wen Wan.
In short, multiple factors have led to the current box office myth.
Wenwan is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary.
After more than two years of debut, she has made three movies, all of which were directed by top-tier directors. Each of her movies has been a big hit. Wen Wan's fame has reached a very high level.
Some media even joked online: If you want to make a lot of money at the box office, then invite Wen Wan to join the new drama.
As long as a movie invites Wen Wan, the box office of this movie is already halfway.
Although this statement was made somewhat as a joke, no one on the Internet questioned this point of view.
Some movie companies have even contacted Feifan Media privately, hoping to book Wenwan's next drama in advance.
Feifan Media is undoubtedly the second beneficiary.
From a newly established media company, it has become a first-tier domestic film and television production company.
And the boss behind the scenes is still Chen Fan.
This is Chen Fan.
The discussion about Chen Fan on the Internet has once again become heated, and many people are even sighing that this guy is a jack of all trades and can succeed in anything he does.
In December, Taobao completed a new round of financing, and Chen Fan once again invested 20 million US dollars in his personal capacity, becoming the third largest individual shareholder after Sun Zhengyi and Ma Yun.
At the end of the year, the winter vacation began and my girlfriend Xu Qiuci finally came back.
Chen Fan drove Gao Xiaoxi and Gao Xiaohu to the airport to pick up his girlfriend.
"cousin!"
In the airport lobby, Gao Xiaoxi spotted Xu Qiuci in the crowd and couldn't help but wave excitedly.
Xu Qiuci was wearing a long white down jacket, which Chen Fan bought for her last Christmas.
She was wearing a pair of orange snow boots, and her hair had grown longer, but it was still tied into a simple ponytail.
So many years have passed, and she is still the campus goddess she was back then, without any change.
Chen Fan walked over with a smile and took the suitcase from the other person's hand.
“You’ve lost weight.”
In front of Gao Xiaoxi and her brother, Su Ruchu was too embarrassed to say some words and just glanced at Chen Fan.
"Why are you all here?"
"I have postponed all my works today just to welcome you."
Chen Fan smiled and took Su Ruchu's hand.
"Let's go. Home."
Gao Xiaohu was very observant. He took the suitcase and ran towards the car with it.
"Cousin, you are finally here. You don't know that your brother-in-law has been counting the days for your return these past two days."
"What nonsense."
Su Ruochu looked at Gao Xiaoxi: "Is your leg okay?"
"Yeah. I've almost recovered. My brother-in-law said I can go to the hospital to remove the plaster before I go home for the New Year."
Su Ruochu looked at Chen Fan: "Has she not caused you any trouble recently?"
Chen Fan smiled and said, "No. Xiaoxi is very obedient."
Gao Xiaoxi pouted and complained: "My brother-in-law is like a prisoner. He won't let me go out at all. I'm so bored during this time."
Su Ruochu smiled and said, "That's for your own good."
Gao Xiaoxi shrugged helplessly: "You two are actually on the same side. I can't argue with you."
Chen Fan held Su Ruochu's soft little hand and chuckled, "I broke my promise. I was going to visit you in Beijing a while ago, but I've been busy lately."
Su Ruochu shook his head: "Don't you call me every day? There's no need to make a special trip."
Gao Xiaoxi asked with a smile: "Cousin, what are your plans this time? When can we go home?"
Su Ruchu naturally looked at Chen Fan. She usually followed Chen Fan's arrangements on matters like this.
The three of them walked out of the hall, and Chen Fan thought for a moment and said.
"Stay in Yunhai for a few days first. The group company will hold its annual meeting soon. I will take you to attend then."
"I have to take you to buy some New Year's goods and gifts for your family. We can leave after everything is ready."
Upon hearing this, Gao Xiaoxi immediately became excited.
"Annual meeting? I want to go too? Can I go, brother-in-law? I have never attended a company annual meeting. It must be very interesting."
Su Ruochu said helplessly: "Xiao Xi, what did I tell you? You can't mess around and disturb your brother-in-law's work."
Gao Xiaoxi looked at Chen Fan with some grievance, and Chen Fan smiled and said, "It's okay. The annual meeting is just for eating and having fun."
Su Ruochu shook his head and said, "I won't go. I don't know anyone in your company. I'll just cause you trouble if I go."
Chen Fan knew Su Ruchu and was not surprised by this answer.
So he was not in a hurry to get the other party to agree, but smiled and said, "Let's put it aside for now, let's go home and have dinner first."
Gao Xiaoxi still wanted to go, and looked at Su Ruchu with a pleading look.
"cousin……"
"If you don't obey, I'll call your parents."
"Okay." Gao Xiaoxi had no choice but to look at Chen Fan.
"Brother-in-law, I want to remove the plaster tomorrow. My cousin is back and I want to go out and play with her."
Chen Fan started the car and said, "Okay. It's just right for you to go shopping together and buy some New Year's goods."
Su Ruochu nodded: "Then I will accompany you to the hospital tomorrow."
When they returned home, a sumptuous dinner had already been prepared.
This time, Chen Fan didn't notify anyone and just wanted to have a simple family dinner with Su Ruchu.
"Cousin, my brother-in-law prepared all these dishes by himself. He was busy all afternoon. He was unwilling to help even when we asked him to."
Looking at the table full of food, Su Ruchu could imagine Chen Fan busy in the kitchen.
The man works behind the scenes and is so busy every day, but he can still prepare this surprise for himself.
To be honest, it's impossible not to be moved.
Moreover, Su Ruchu felt that these things should have been done by himself, but now they are all done by Chen Fan.
My girlfriend and fiancée are really not doing a good job.
She was grateful to Chen Fan for his tolerance and even indulgence towards her.
"Don't just stand there, wash your hands and eat."
Chen Fan brought out a clay pot from the kitchen. Inside was the old duck soup that he had stewed for Su Ruochu for an entire afternoon.
Looking at Chen Fan, who looked very pleased with himself, busying himself with serving soup.
If Gao Xiaoxi and her brother hadn't been there, Su Ruchu really wanted to run over and hug them from behind, and then tell Chen Fan, let's get married.
"One more year."
She told herself in her heart.
When I graduate from graduate school a year later, the first thing I will do is to marry Chen Fan.
