Chapter 268
Movie box office, sometimes it can actually be used as a stimulant...
Fortunately, this isn't the first time Bai Liang has felt this.
Back when *Wolf Warrior 2* was out, Nazha was crazier than Jing Tian.
The cuteness of girls as a species lies in the fact that when they are "arrogant," they bare their fangs and brandish their claws, and when they admit defeat, they can also take the opportunity to act like a spoiled child and sell cuteness, which is called silky...
Oh right, Jing Tian is not as good as Nazha~
She only stood up for less than ten minutes.
However, the anti-scientific thing is that, obviously, she was almost dehydrated at night, but the next morning, Miss Jing Tian was able to get up earlier than Bai Liang.
By the time he got up, the other party had even finished her makeup.
"Get up quickly, we still have to run the roadshow!"
"Tian Tian, no cinema will start business before 9: 0..."
"You have to call me sister!"
"What did you call me yesterday?" Bai Liang made a thoughtful look, directly breaking Jing Tian's defense on the spot.
She immediately stopped worrying about whether it was sister or not; after all, Bai Liang's seniority had already been super-doubled last night, and calling him sister would really be a bit impolite.
"Then you should get up early and prepare, today's roadshow task is quite heavy, we have to run to quite a few cinemas."
Prepare? Prepare what?
Bai Liang froze for a moment, looking at Jing Tian who was sitting on the edge of the bed dressed up beautifully, and then looked at the time, feeling that doing a warm-up preparation was really no problem.
Gently grabbing the hand that was pushing him, and then with a little force, he pulled her into his arms.
At this time, Jing Tian still thought Bai Liang was acting up early in the morning, but when she felt the heat, it was too late.
"Oh~ don't be like this, let's wait until the evening..."
Not refusing thoroughly is equivalent to not refusing at all.
The early bird gets the worm, the early girl gets the bird.
"Sorry, sorry! We are late..."
After nine o'clock, Jing Tian apologized to Xu Zheng, Su Lun, and the others very embarrassedly; the last ones to arrive were her and Bai Liang, and everyone else on the roadshow was waiting for them.
"It doesn't matter, we aren't late by many minutes..."
Su Lun had a motherly smile on her face, looking at the two who arrived late; not only did she not mind, she was even willing to wait a while longer~
Tsk tsk, "We are late"—this sentence was well said!
Originally it was only 99% suspicion, now even that 1% has been filled.
Look at Jing Tian's face, which was definitely not flushed because of rushing over; anyone with a little life experience knows that this is "morning exercise."
As expected of young people, the body is really good!
And just like the saying "want to have breakfast with you," being able to do morning exercise naturally means they slept together last night, and it is estimated that it was quite intense.
Su Lun: "Good, good, good! Finally waited for it."
When *How Long Will I Love U* was still filming, she had always hoped that the male and female leads could spark more sparks, and rubbing into bed was the best.
As a result, Jing Tian was frantically practicing the backward step, and Bai Liang, this "dullard," didn't know what initiative was.
Filming and rubbing against each other, they actually maintained the greatest degree of "restraint."
Sometimes as a director, encountering such artists is also quite helpless.
Especially Su Lun, who treats this film as her "child" and put so much effort into it; she really hopes that the story in and out of the play can be close to the same.
Jing Tian was happy last night, and today Su Lun is also happy; she is now the number one CP fan of these two.
Almost comparable to the situation of the director team of *Love O2O* back then.
The whole brain is full of male and female leads sticking together...
Looking at the director's expression, Jing Tian couldn't help but glare at Bai Liang.
"Stinky brother, you have to act up!"
If it wasn't for him not aiming right, like a shotgun, and ending up dirtying her makeup—Jing Tian felt that she definitely wouldn't have been late.
Such an important thing as a roadshow, how can you be late!
Three hundred million first-day box office!
To put it ugly, she wouldn't dare to use this posture even in her dreams...
"Liang-ge!"
A "Liang-ge" interrupted Jing Tian's thoughts; she looked up and was startled.
Such a big bald head, as if it was covered with a layer of oil, was particularly eye-catching.
Xu Zheng was glowing, obviously not caring about the small matter of being late at all, and at the same time, his eyes looking at Bai Liang were so hot.
This "Liang-ge" was shouted without any skill, all out of respect for the God of Wealth.
Too damn reliable!
What is a top-tier idol!
"Xu Dao, what are you doing? Doing this kind of thing early in the morning..." Bai Liang said strangely.
"Hey, I almost didn't sleep last night, three hundred million on the first day! We are going to make a fortune this time."
While saying this, Xu Zheng also turned his head to look at Jing Tian, smiling: "Tian Tian's salary was so low, I'll make up a big red envelope for you later."
"I want to thank Xu Dao for giving me the opportunity; I will give you a big red envelope," Jing Tian blinked, very atmospheric.
"Awesome! As expected of a flower of wealth in the world~ This pattern!"
However, Xu Zheng thought about it and decided to do something flashy: "You have to seal a big red envelope for Liang-ge; this is the rule of the Jianghu."
"What rule of the Jianghu?" Jing Tian asked curiously.
"Hehe~"
Xu Zheng didn't speak, just laughed there.
Su Lun leaned into Jing Tian's ear and smiled, popularizing the so-called "rule of the Jianghu" for her.
It instantly gave her a big red face.
"What is it!"
With Bai Liang's proficiency in arranging her in eighteen different postures, sealing a fart of a red envelope.
Jing Tian couldn't help but turn her head to look at Bai Liang, but this guy actually reached out to her...
"Want a red envelope?!"
"Damn it, unreasonable~"
However, Bai Liang saw Jing Tian's embarrassment and shyness, and very considerately helped to make up a sentence: "Tian Tian-jie, you took my first kiss."
"You... you are talking nonsense, I don't believe it!"
"Really, my first kiss resets every night at twelve o'clock."
"Eh? Then I'm still a virgin!" Xu Zheng suddenly answered.
"Xu Dao, you look like a virgin at first glance, just like me, a pure big boy."
Everyone was talking nonsense; Bai Liang said he couldn't be out of the group.
Oh right, he reached out to Jing Tian again... "Sister, red envelope~"
"Alipay received 8, 88 yuan."
"Tian Tian-jie is atmospheric, next time..."
Before he finished speaking, Jing Tian covered Bai Liang's mouth, fearing that he would say something tiger-wolf words again.
And her actions naturally attracted booing again.
The carriage was filled with a happy atmosphere. The three hundred million first-day box office not only brought happiness to the *How Long Will I Love U* crew, making everyone full of joyful smiles.
It also made the entire film and television circle look sideways.
"Good guy... this time there is no Wu Jing to support Bai Liang~"
Bai Liang's first two movies, *Duckweed* had Han Han and Deng Chao, two big names, and the subsequent *Wolf Warrior 2* had Wu Jing; it's hard to say how much role Bai Liang played in the big box office sales of these two movies.
Regarding his box office appeal, there is still a question mark.
But this time... it's different.
It's not just as simple as carrying the beam alone, he is also "carrying a heavy load"!
A "violent theory" appeared on the internet before: the reason Bai Liang cooperated with Jing Tian was to prove that he had the ability to carry the box office alone.
This is of course nonsense; who would be bored enough to prove this kind of thing~
And it's too disrespectful to Miss Jing Tian.
As a result, Jing Tian herself said: "Yes! They are right!"
She was able to say that sentence "If the box office is not good, you push the pot on me" last night, which already shows how unconfident she is.
(Content repeated in source)
In today's roadshow, Jing Tian said this again in front of the media and the audience, and then cried.
It was a direct expression of true feelings, and it was quite infectious.
The movie's promotion naturally wouldn't "let her go"; that night, Jing Tian started crying on Weibo, Douyin, and other places.
She was a bit embarrassed when she brushed it herself, feeling that she looked a bit ugly when she cried.
Girls, after all, always care about this stuff.
You can cry, but you can't not be beautiful!
"Miss Jing Tian is really nice, I take back what I said before about her shamelessly hugging thighs; this personality is really super good."
"A bit of a fan; she doesn't even want to implicate the Great Immortal. How inferior must she be to say that."
"The Great Immortal won't push the pot, because the Great Immortal has never failed."
"Holy crap, it's really true. From debut until now, from TV series to movies, the Great Immortal seems to have never failed once. This is too outrageous, right?"
"Actually, there was a failure, that *Chinese Paladin 5*."
"Bai Liang is in *Chinese Paladin 5*? Why didn't I see him?"
"Hahaha, he played Long Ming in that show, his scenes were pitifully few, just a pendant, but his look was quite handsome."
"This character belongs to something fans don't really know about. No wonder it failed, the 'Bai content' is too little."
"Didn't you notice that her sentence was a bit wrong? She said she told the Great Immortal that last night, and then she knew the first-day box office. That damn thing was so late? These two wouldn't have slept together last night, right?"
"Holy crap! The person upstairs discovered a blind spot! They talked, they must have talked!"
"..."
Netizens are always so sharp-eyed; Jing Tian just said one more sentence, which made people feel the amount of information and story inside.
Of course, this thing can't stir up any waves.
Just say that the creators were waiting for the news together, which is reasonable.
And those who pay attention to this kind of ambiguous scandal are in the minority, because a real movie marketing has begun.
Confession and Wish Fulfillment Plan!
Planned and carried out by the operator Yanzi, the topic hyped is one: confession success rate.
Whether it's on Weibo or Douyin and other platforms, relevant topics have appeared, and below are cases of sharing whether the confession was successful or not.
Some are true, because before the movie was released, this topic already had a certain degree of popularity, but there must also be many hired hands helping to raise the popularity.
The way of using emotional marketing for romance films is not fresh; last year, a movie directly played it out, and finally became a box office dark horse.
That movie is called *The Ex-File 3*.
After precise delivery and viral marketing, it is the spontaneous participation of netizens.
After the first day, quite a few videos of confessions on the scene came out, and don't say, the success rate is really damn high.
Anyway, Bai Liang brushed for a long time, and didn't see a single failed confession.
"Is our movie really that effective?!!" Jing Tian said with some amazement.
At the same time, she was a bit proud, having a feeling of being a matchmaker herself.
Bai Liang thought about it: "Young men and women who can go to watch a movie alone usually have a relationship that counts as at least ambiguous; it would be strange if the success rate of this kind of confession is not high."
This explanation is actually very scientific and makes a lot of sense.
But Jing Tian didn't want to listen.
She looked at Bai Liang with puffed cheeks, didn't speak, just looked at him straight...
So Bai Liang could only change his words: "It should still be that we acted too romantically."
"Yes!"
Three days, one billion box office!
This is the short-term answer sheet handed over by *How Long Will I Love U*.
In fact, the first-day box office of movies starring many traffic stars is generally not too low.
But then it will often usher in a very rapid dive—the box office drop is really sad to hear and makes people shed tears, and the distribution company wants to commit a crime when they see it.
The one who scolds this phenomenon the most is the cinema line, because many cinema lines will increase scheduling because of the good first-day box office performance of the movie.
And then they are deceived...
*Us and Them* next door had such a thing, but their operation seems to be even more outrageous.
Refund.
Their movie promotion uses director Rene Liu's famous song *Later* as the emotional core, repeatedly emphasizing "miss and regret" in the promotion.
It's actually playing the nostalgia set.
But the content is a bit imitating the routines of youth films like *The Ex-File 3* and *Fleet of Time*, and the rating hasn't been very good since the first day.
The most outrageous thing is that on the day of the premiere, large-scale ticket refunds appeared in many cinemas across the country, and the refund rate far exceeded the normal level.
At the same time, there is abnormal data, with a large number of "ghost sessions" and locking sessions, suspected of grabbing scheduling by brushing high pre-sale box office, and then refunding tickets to cash out.
This incident directly triggered industry fury; the cinema line bore direct losses due to ticket refunds, accusing the film party or interested parties of manipulating the market and destroying industry rules.
The direct result is that the single-day box office fell by more than 70%.
*Us and Them*, which originally broke 200 million box office on the first day, directly withdrew from the competition for the box office champion of the same period.
Although Jing Boran is an old defeated general, Bai Liang didn't expect that the other party would "fall" so quickly this time, and in such an outrageous way.
However, this incident has little to do with him as a lead actor; what was exposed is the loophole of the ticket platform and the film party's interest binding, making the National Film Administration announce an investigation...
This is considered the first thunder exploded in the film circle, not particularly big.
Because a ruthless one is coming soon!
A former CCTV host, because of the dispute with Xiao Gangpao and others, is about to overturn the "entire" entertainment industry with his own strength.
