Her idea was wrong. The data of "You Are the One" in her previous life was not bad, reaching 455 million, ranking 20th in the 2014 box office list and 11th among Chinese-language films.

How can a domestic film that almost made it into the top ten box office of the year be a mere follow-up work?

When this movie was first released, it did not perform very well at first, but after about a week of release and as word of mouth spread, it began to reverse the decline and grow.

For this kind of youth film, the promotion mainly depends on two main methods, one is the cast, the other is the marketing topic.

There is no need to say much about the former, but the latter has many tricks.

Because of its good subject matter, "You, My Deskmate" easily brought up a topic on the Internet: "How are you, my deskmate?"

The young love or budding love on campus is always a topic that people cannot avoid. It is also something that most people have experienced and it is easy to resonate with people.

This is the case with "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" and "You Are the One Sitting Next to Me".

It can be seen from the enduring popularity of the song of the same name "You, My Deskmate" that many people have a deskmate who they love, have an ambiguous relationship with, or even have an unforgettable crush on.

The film crew also seized this opportunity, increased publicity and output, and combined with a fairly good plot, ultimately achieved impressive box office results.

It can be said that because of this movie in his previous life, the little yellow duck was relatively freed from some of the constraints of being a Mou Girl and began to gain a foothold in the film industry.

Director Guo Fan also became a little famous from a new director, and finally through various efforts, he was able to plan "The Wandering Earth".

And now, the situation of "You Are the One Sitting Next to Me" has changed even more.

The original producer of "You Are the One" was Guangguang Film Co., Ltd., which was rapidly rising in the film industry at that time because of its outstanding marketing and distribution capabilities.

In this space and time, a lot of the light has been snatched away by the blue whale. At least in terms of publicity and marketing, the blue whale is not inferior to the former, and may even be better.

Although it is at a disadvantage in terms of distribution, Blue Whale has also opened up channels with Shanghai Film Group and has cooperated with Light Media and Bona Film Group. Most importantly, Blue Whale has production advantages.

Although the director still used Guo Fan, the script, team, behind-the-scenes and other aspects are all upgraded versions, resulting in the quality of the movie "You Are the One" being higher than the original.

Under such circumstances, the Blue Whale version of "You, My Deskmate" has better basic advantages.

Not to mention, there is also the key factor of Zhao Liying! All of the above can guarantee the lower limit of "My Deskmate". At least if all aspects are good, the box office will not be much worse than the original version.

The current variable of Zhao Liying has suddenly changed the upper limit of "You Are the One Sitting Next to Me".

"The Journey of Flower" is extremely popular. In the past two months, Zhao Liying has been on the hot search list almost every day. The popularity index of related artists has won more than 30 daily championships and ranked in the top three for more than 50 consecutive days.

As can be seen from the record-breaking pre-sale box office, fans and the outside world are extremely enthusiastic about Zhao Liying's new movie.

Up to now, fan economy has become a phenomenon that cannot be ignored in the industry.

Many movies this year have proven this.

For example, the variety show "Where Are We Going, Dad?" was transformed into a popular movie, "The Master of Breakup" starring Deng Chao and Da Mimi, which became popular due to "Running Man", "Tiny Times" starring Guo Xiaosi and the two beauties of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and "See You Tomorrow" starring Han Han...

Of course, there are other reasons for the success of these movies, but it is undeniable that fan economy plays an important role in it.

More and more companies and crews are beginning to focus on popular top-tier artists, believing that these people are likely to become catalysts for box office success.

The crew of "Operation Mekong" insisted on inviting Wei Yang to appear in the film, which was more or less due to this reason.

Under such circumstances, the popular Zhao Liying + the good foundation of "You Are the One" happened to be released during the National Day holiday, which is more powerful than the original version.

Even Wei Yang didn't know how crazy this movie could be.

At present, the only big stone standing in the way of "My Deskmate" is the equally popular "Lost in Thailand".

The National Day period is not a small period, but the market size is far smaller than that of the summer and New Year periods, so it is hard to say whether it can accommodate two giants.

Therefore, in Wei Yang's opinion, how far "You Are the One" can go depends entirely on its resilience in the face of the strong enemy "Lost in Thailand".

Wei Yang himself didn't have the confidence to take on the iron triangle of Ning, Huang and Xu, let alone Zhao Liying, who was just starting out in the film industry.

Facts have proved that Wei Yang's vision is quite accurate.

"You Are the One Sitting Next to Me" performed well, but there is still a certain gap between it and "My Lucky Star", and it was firmly placed in the second place.

In the end, it did not soar as Wei Yang had secretly expected, with the box office data doubling that of the original and aiming for the 1 billion mark, blah blah.

However, even so, the performance of "You Are the One" is considered to be explosive enough in the eyes of most people.

The first day box office was 45.63 million! The second day box office did not drop but increased to 62 million+. On the third day, it still maintained a sufficient level, with a single-day box office of 50 million.

In the following four days, although it gradually declined, it still maintained enough momentum thanks to the National Day holiday. On average, it was around 40 million per day.

Combined with the pre-sale box office, the final first-week box office of "My Deskmate" is 364 million! Compared with the longer summer and Lunar New Year schedules, the National Day schedule is more like the Spring Festival schedule due to the seven-day holiday. The first-week box office is extremely important, and it may be half or even two-thirds of the entire movie.

Even so, the box office of 364 million in seven days is already exaggerated enough, and it ranks among the top movies released this year.

If it weren't for the explosive data of "Lost in Thailand" that broke 600 million yuan in box office in the first week, which stole a lot of limelight, "My Deskmate" would probably have been hyped up by all kinds of media.

Even though "Lost in Thailand" shared the spotlight, many media outlets still gave "My Deskmate" the exposure it deserved.

What’s more, this movie also stars the currently popular Zhao Liying, and has been “targeted” by the entire network.

They are not Wei Yang, and they don't have a third eye. How could they know that "You Are the One" was originally expected to reach 455 million.

Most people’s opinions are similar to Fan Xiaopang’s.

This is just a low-budget youth-themed follow-up film. At most, the quality is better than they expected, but it is not that outstanding. The best thing about it is Zhao Liying.

Naturally, Zhao Liying became the biggest contributor to the huge sales of "You Are the One".

This cannot be said to be wrong. Without Zhao Liying and "The Journey of Flower", "My Deskmate" might not have performed so well.

Anyway, it was a matter of timing and luck. Before the aftertaste of Zhao Liying's "The Journey of Flower" had worn off, she was praised to the sky by "My Deskmate".

You know, if this trend continues, the box office of "You Are the One" will definitely exceed 500 million, and there is a great hope of 600 million, and there is also a chance of 700 to 800 million.

This is not the future, where billion-yuan box office movies are everywhere, but right now, there are less than a handful of domestic movies that have grossed over a billion yuan.

600-800 million, it can impact the top ten of the annual list and the top five Chinese-language films. And how many actresses can lead a movie to this level?

In the past two years, those who have performed well in the film industry include Fan Xiaopang and Da Mimi, but the former relied on Wei Yang, while the latter was primarily contributed by Guo Xiaosi and Deng Chao.

The apparent credit for "You Are the One" all goes to Zhao Liying. Even if there are reasons for it and a certain amount of luck involved, the film is still valuable enough to attract attention.

The reason Zhao Liying was able to become famous among the 85 flowers was that she could carry the ratings. Even now, people unconsciously feel that she has the ability to carry the box office alone, which makes Zhao Liying's weight rise sharply.

Taking movie pay as an example, Zhao Liying had no achievements in the film industry before, and she only received 1.5 million for filming "My Deskmate".

Don’t think it’s too little; this is the price for an unsuccessful young actress to enter the film industry.

Zhao Liying at least has quite a bit of popularity, and Blue Whale has taken some care of her, but many first-line actresses can't even get 1 million.

Without connections and background, movies and TV dramas are two completely different worlds and you can’t even squeeze in.

But now, Zhao Liying's situation has changed! First, the popularity of "The Journey of Flower" exploded, and she was promoted to a top-tier actress. Artists of this level will not be underestimated by the film producers even if they have no achievements in the film industry.

Then he had another major role in "You Are the One Sitting Next to Me", and this kind of resume is a great bonus for the artist.

And don’t forget, Zhao Liying also starred in "Lost in Thailand", even though she was just a supporting role, she still got some popularity.

Some people even joked that this year's summer vacation and National Day period were entirely Zhao Liying's solo dance.

This is of course an exaggeration, but it also shows how popular Zhao Liying has been in the past few months. It seems that she is everywhere. Not only is she very popular, but she is also very successful in both film and television...

Fan Xiaopang almost raised Zhao Liying's danger level to higher than Liu Shishi, and Liu Shishi, who was filming in Dali, was even more frightened.

No matter how popular Zhao Liying's TV series are, she is still cautious, but not panicky either.

Because of her achievements, she has done it before. It seems impressive now, but it is just the momentum. It will be fine after the limelight passes.

But Zhao Liying suddenly achieved good results in the film industry, which made Liu Shishi feel at a loss and even a little confused.

Didn’t we agree to shoot a TV series together? Why did you suddenly sneak in with a movie?

It's so unsportsmanlike!

It’s no wonder that Liu Shishi has a headache. Movies are her biggest weakness. Although Zhao Liying’s attack has hit her weak spot, it’s enough to make her uncomfortable.

In addition to Liu Fan being shocked, Da Mimi and Tang Yan, who had been watching the show, also became a little restless.

They hope that Zhao Liying will be stronger and put enough pressure on her, so as to force Liu Shishi to form an alliance with them, but Zhao is too strong.

Liu Shishi was under a lot of pressure, but they were also a little afraid of getting out of control.

After all, Zhao Liying has many cards in her hand. If she continues to be so strong and directly makes an official announcement, then they will be completely ruined.

Even though Tang Mi and Liu Shishi are now at odds and seem to be enemies, if they are really forced to choose someone to be Wei Yang's principal wife, and they themselves cannot take the position, their first choice will be Liu Shishi.

Apart from the so-called friendship between besties, the most important thing is that Liu Shishi has a soft character and will not kill them all, at least she will not be too harsh on the two of them.

But the same cannot be said for Zhao and Fan. If they don't kill them, they will inevitably make all kinds of calculations.

Da Mimi and Tang Yan even intended to contact Liu Shishi first to see if they could find an opportunity to soften their stance and ease the relationship between the two sides.

Otherwise, it is not a good idea to continue the stalemate and watch the enemy grow stronger.

But this opportunity is not so easy to come by. Liu Shishi hates both of them very much now. In addition, Zhao Liying herself is quite strong. Although she is a threat, she does not have much advantage over Liu Shishi.

Under the premise that the situation is still corrupt, even if Liu Shishi takes Zhao Liying's threat seriously, she is afraid that she will not give in easily.

"It's difficult. It's a pity that both of us were caught. Otherwise, if one of us was an undercover agent, we wouldn't be in such a passive position."

Da Mimi was very anxious. She was eager to deal with Zhao Liying, not only for the "overall situation", but also for some selfish reasons.

Zhao Liying's rise was so fast that not only did Liu Shishi feel nervous, but she also came into direct competition with her.

This summer, Da Mimi's performance is actually not bad, it can even be said to be very eye-catching.

The TV series included the phenomenal hit "Gu Jian Qi Tan", and the movies "The Breakup Master" and "Tiny Times 3" had a combined box office of over 10 billion yuan.

However, since there is honey, there is no shadow. "The Journey of Flower" and "My Deskmate" prevented Zhao Liying from stealing the limelight from Da Mimi, but she still surpassed her.

It was also this month that Zhao Liying and Liu Shishi were having a lively fight and did not involve her.

Otherwise, it would be a blatant display of power and a threat of war. Da Mimi would not be defeated, but she would be lagging behind in all aspects, which would definitely be a big blow to her.

Now Da Mimi has experienced the frustration that Tang Yan felt before.

This guy named Zhao is really difficult to deal with!

Not only is she difficult to deal with, but more importantly, she has the support of Blue Whale, so many of her tricks cannot be used. But although she is also not good at using some crooked tricks, she can take advantage of the platform.

Even though Da Mimi and Liu Shishi had not been in contact for several months, they still resonated with each other in the derogatory remarks directed at Zhao Liying.

"You cunning little potato, the flesh is rotten inside."

“A-choo!”

In Xingcheng, Zhao Liying, who was trying on her Golden Eagle Goddess battle robe, sneezed unconsciously. Her assistant thought she was cold and quickly turned up the air conditioner.

"Sister, do you want to wear a vest?"

"No, I'm fine, my nose just itches a little."

Zhao Liying didn't care. She stood in front of the floor-length mirror and admired her Golden Eagle Goddess outfit. She looked graceful and had a disdainful expression.

Tonight will be one of the most important days in her career.

The steps of the climb to the top that Blue Whale had planned for her were successful and "The Journey of Flower" was even better than they had imagined, and the subsequent publicity and promotion were also very effective.

What was originally a casual move, "You, My Deskmate", achieved results that no one had expected, and also pushed all the publicity and promotion of Blue Whale to a climax.

And now, this plan has reached the final step of the final stage, which is to do what Liu Shishi did two years ago——

Golden Eagle Awards Grand Slam!

This was a scene that Zhao Liying would never have dared to hope for two years ago. When she saw Liu Shishi enjoying such great glory that night, she felt despair for a moment.

But I didn't expect that I would be able to do the same thing after spending two years on it.

The Golden Eagle Goddess is already in her bag! The Journey of Flower is a direct lineage of Hunan TV, and the Popularity Crystal Cup is the only one that is a little difficult to win. But with Wei Yang and Blue Whale's mediation, it is not a difficult task.

When Liu Shishi won the Golden Eagle Grand Slam, the outside world praised her as unprecedented and hard to surpass. Unexpectedly, she broke the record herself just two years later.

Zhao Liying's eyes were full of excitement, she really wanted to know what Liu Shishi was thinking.

And that bald chicken Da Mimi, who finally got through Liu Shishi, was snatched away by himself. I guess he must have felt very good.

As for Tang Yan, she was a general who was ravaged many times and was defeated. She was not worth mentioning. Although Zhao Liying was not as tall as Tang Yan, she no longer cared about her...
