Chapter 274: Negotiating the Late-Night Slot, Group Team-Building to Pray, Tiangong Personally Visits to Send Accessories

~16 min read 3,018 words

"And Then There Were None" had not yet boarded the cinemas, so all members could only pay attention to the results of the art-house cinemas.

Jin Li lived a leisurely life again, waiting while studying.

She was unhurried in the live stream, quite having a sense of relaxation: "Indifferent to favor or humiliation, quietly watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the courtyard; indifferent to staying or leaving, letting the clouds roll and unroll in the sky."

She wasn't in a hurry, but the netizens were.

Every time Jin Li live-streamed, netizens would ask when "And Then There Were None" would be launched in major cinemas.

One reason is that the art-house cinema circuit is located in relatively remote places, and even if there is one locally, it is not convenient to go there.

Another is that there is no such cinema circuit at all.

【Late-night slot is late-night slot, better than not being able to watch it!】

【Already agreed with my girlfriend to go watch it together, just asking when it can be launched?】

【This film feels quite suitable for couple booths, cough cough】

【No, the working class can't hold up, can the late-night slot be adjusted to daytime launch?】

【Cinemas won't adjust it, it is said that it is very difficult for this film to be shown, and now it is the result of saving the country by a curve】

Therefore, that classic phrase must be mentioned again:

【The traffic password has been given to you, why don't you copy the answer, cinema!!】

Jin Li smiled and said: "We are also waiting for the notice, everyone don't worry, we are definitely more anxious than you."

As the days passed, the box office of "And Then There Were None" gradually stabilized.

First day, single-day box office 500,000.

Second day, single-day box office 600,000.

Third day, word-of-mouth fermented online, the occupancy rate of the art-house circuit reached 50%, and the single-day box office soared to 1 million!

This result, placed in the art-house cinema circuit, can already be scheduled as this year's blockbuster.

Deng Zexu began to frequently enter and exit major gatherings in the film circle, hoping to let this film be released in advance.

Fourth day, single-day box office 1.2 million.

Fifth day, single-day box office 1.1 million.

Sixth day, word-of-mouth online exploded again.

This time it was mixed with joy and worry. The original work fans and adaptation fans PKed, and a one-minute hanging scene of Jin Li was uploaded in a short video, which once again exploded a wave of public opinion.

On this day, the single-day box office surged to 1.5 million!

This result once again refreshed the record of the art-house cinema circuit this year.

The sudden popularity also made the art-house cinema see vitality, increasing the scheduling again. On the premise of 6 screenings in the morning, afternoon, and evening, 3 screenings were also arranged in the early morning time slot, reaching 9 screenings a day!

It was also with the help of scheduling that on the seventh day, the single-day box office was refreshed again, reaching 2 million!

This result was spread out, and even if placed in regular cinemas, it was a bit eye-catching.

All summer blockbuster films had been released for a week, and the quality of word-of-mouth had already been differentiated.

The three films that originally had a single-day box office of 50 million also began to differentiate. Good films continued to maintain, while poor films dropped to a single-day box office of 10 million.

This kind of drop is continuous. As the scheduling is swallowed, films with poor word-of-mouth and scheduling will eventually drop to a few million a day.

It was also at this time, due to good word-of-mouth, that a large cinema circuit finally accepted "And Then There Were None," launching it in the late-night slot!

Deng Zexu felt very excited about this.

He said in the group: 【Does anyone have time to go check in together? I bought out a late-night slot】

Ren Ren Zhangtao: 【+1】

Old veteran actors echoed: 【+1】

Even Jin Li couldn't help but reply with a 1. This was the first movie she was released in!

As she gets older, the first times in life are getting fewer and fewer, so she still cherishes this opportunity and wants to take photos to commemorate it.

Sui Sui Lingfang knew her plan, and in an ordinary morning meeting, she specifically left Jin Li alone and asked her:

"You have to stay up until at least three o'clock in the early morning tomorrow, can your body handle it?"

Jin Li's eyes curved and she smiled, "I'm afraid something might happen, so I plan to go pray tomorrow, for the gods to bless me to be smooth, healthy, and safe."

Sui Sui Lingfang was relieved and urged: "Then I will go pray with you, one more person to bless your health."

Later, Ren Ren Zhangtao learned of this news somehow.

Ren Ren Zhangtao immediately privately chatted with Jin Li, asking her where she was going to pray tomorrow, and would she mind one more person?

It doesn't matter if there is one more or one less person to pray, Jin Li naturally doesn't mind.

Jin Li: 【Don't mind, I plan to go to Daluo Temple】

Ren Ren Zhangtao specifically searched for "Daluo Temple." He didn't know until he searched, and he was shocked. The gods worshipped in this temple seem to be very powerful!

Daluo Temple, as the name suggests, the gods worshipped inside are all Daluo Golden Immortals.

Daluo refers to the highest Daluo Heavenly Realm among the thirty-six heavens of Taoism, also known as Daluo Heaven, which is the highest and widest heaven.

Daluo also means eternal freedom in all spaces, and Gold means immortality (meaning eternal destruction), that is, immortals who are eternally free and immortal in all time and space.

The gods worshipped inside include "Xuanxuan Shangren," "Sanqing," "Dong Wanggong," "Western Yaochi Jinmu"...

First, let's talk about this Xuanxuan Shangren, also known as "Wang Lao Immortal Master," who preached to Mugong (Dong Wanggong), and Mugong preached to Wang Mu, so he is the teacher of Mugong and Western Wang Mu.

To talk about how powerful he is, everyone can reflect how powerful the teacher is from the status of the disciples.

It is rumored that all people in the world who learn Taoism, when ascending to heaven, must first worship Mugong and then visit Jinmu, before entering Sanqing to worship Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Lingbao Daojun, and finally meet the Heavenly Emperor.

Ren Ren Zhangtao, who finished searching for the information, had only one thought:

Such a powerful place, I can't be the only one going!!

There are too many majestic gods; he is under a lot of pressure alone!

So Ren Ren Zhangtao pulled Deng Zexu and asked him to go pray together tomorrow.

Deng Zexu originally didn't have this idea. Suddenly hearing Ren Ren Zhangtao say this, he realized that he had never gone to pray!

Coincidentally, the film will be launched in one of the big cinemas early tomorrow morning. If you don't pray now, when will you pray?

So Deng Zexu simply posted an announcement in the group chat, organizing another team-building activity, chartering a car to Daluo Temple, and those who want to go should type "1."

It has to be said that gods are more attractive than cinemas.

Organizing everyone to watch the film early in the morning, the "1"s were typed sluggishly.

Saying tomorrow is to go pray, in less than a while, a row of "1"s were neat and uniform!

Deng Zexu couldn't help but twitch his mouth, doubting the charm of his directing for the first time in his life.

Sui Sui Lingfang picked up Jin Li on the way home from work, went out to eat together, and then sent her home.

Mentioning this matter, she was also a bit happy.

"Originally Zou Da discussed with me whether to release an interview the day after the movie is launched early in the morning and buy a trending search for that interview."

"But this kind of trending search is actually very dry and may not be able to attract people's interest. Similar interviews have already been used by major popular films in the previous week."

"Including now, some interviews are still hanging on the trending searches!"

Sui Sui Lingfang changed the subject, "It just so happens that we are going to team-build to pray tomorrow, right? I will let the reporter take a few candid photos to hype it up. Isn't this better than releasing an interview?"

The revelations in the industry now might be real revelations.

But if you release candid photos saying who did what, it is basically self-hype.

For example, those "drunk in the middle of the night," "taking photos with trash cans in the middle of the night," "kicking tires in the middle of the night," "secretly smoking indoors"...

As long as public opinion is controlled well, it can be reversed into positive evaluation at any time.

Now everyone's hype is much more advanced; they no longer pursue consistent praise, they only need praise to outweigh criticism.

No one is perfect; no one is perfect.

Accepting the imperfections of stars is also a way to narrow the distance between fans and stars.

While Jin Li was working hard to promote the movie, the Tiangong Jewelry she endorsed quietly exploded in sales.

The group still had some doubts about suddenly adopting an appointment system for visits.

If the appointment system doesn't work, then change it to fully open as soon as possible.

But who would have thought that after Jin Li's commercial came out, especially wearing that ruby Miracle necklace, Tiangong unexpectedly gained a batch of high-end customers.

This week, the number of people making appointments to visit continued to hit new highs, which made the group impulsively want to fully open.

But in order to earn more money from high-end customers, they still barely held back.

The average consumption of customers who chose to make an appointment to visit was 500,000!

Even more, some consumed over a million, purchasing accessories for collection, marriage, and daily wear.

Plus, some stores are fully open, specifically doing mass-market business.

Even small accessories in the price range of a few thousand to tens of thousands sold very well.

Plus, the online flagship store is shipping crazily in terms of small accessories, affected by the surge in online sales + the increase in high-end customer consumption.

In just one week, it had already exploded the sales of the complete natural month of last month!

Jin Li's endorsement performance has already undoubtedly proven the record.

The president of Tiangong couldn't help but sigh: "I said, no wonder I saw the president of Duomi at a business gathering and asked him how Jin Li's endorsement effect was."

"As a result, that president didn't say a word when asked. He only said it was no different from other stars after being asked several times. I thought it was really no different at the time."

"Looking at it now, it's clearly wanting to reduce competitors! Being a president is also not honest, is it necessary to be like this?!"

The secretary asked: "Do you want to launch a co-branded model with Jin Li?"

The president pondered for a while and shook his head: "The commercial has only been promoted for a short time, a temporary popularity doesn't explain anything. Let's wait and see after a while."

Actually, he still didn't want to launch a co-branded model, even if he knew that doing so could maximize the winning over of Jin Li.

After all, Jin Li's manager has clearly stated that their own artist needs to participate in sales dividends, which is something the president of Tiangong does not want to see.

The profit range of jewelry is really very large!

At the same time, at 9 o'clock in the evening, in a CBD in the central city, a guest wrapped tightly from head to toe arrived.

Tiangong's waiters have recently been through many battles; the guests who make appointments to visit have strange habits, and they all express respect, tolerance, and understanding.

This male guest is not strangely dressed; he just covers himself so that his face is a bit unclear, and his speech is muffled, as if he has a cold.

That person asked: "Take out the latest models recently and let me see."

The waiter's eyes lit up; they like this kind of generous customer!

A row of jewelry was lined up, and the male guest lowered his head slightly, looking seriously with his sunglasses-wearing eyes.

After looking for a while, he seemed to have found his target and asked the waiters not to come over; he wanted to look by himself.

The waiters followed the customer's words and went to the other side, which was the back of the male guest.

One of the waiters asked in a low voice: "Team leader, could this guest be what I think?"

The team leader asked: "What are you thinking?"

The waiter said: "This guest is covering up; it's obvious his identity cannot be known. I guess he must be a star; only stars would be like this."

The team leader said calmly: "See through but don't say it. We will do whatever he wants to do. Anyway, this kind of person is not short of money. Remember to ask him if he wants to add accessories."

The waiter was stunned: "What accessories do our jewelry have?"

The team leader smiled: "There weren't any before, but now there are. Among the new products I released, there are a few couple models. If he chooses one of the couple models, ask him if he wants to buy the other one."

"If he doesn't choose, ask him if he is interested in couple models. They are all models launched this year, blessing the other party with good health and peace."

The waiter couldn't help but admire and say: "Team leader, your mouth is really able to talk the dead into living!"

No wonder she can become a team leader; she knows how to do business!

There are couple models, but there is no meaning; it's still made up on the spot.

But making up reasons also requires prescribing the right medicine.

Whether it is career success, peach blossoms blooming, or good health, wishing for longevity... anyway, the waiter can't see how the team leader chose this blessing.

Only the team leader knew in her heart that she found the guest had stayed for a long time on a peace jade pendant.

The only pity is that the material used for this jade pendant is not good, only worth tens of thousands, which others might not look down upon.

The male customer quickly chose the accessories, picking a total of three pieces, including that peace jade pendant.

The waiter was certain in her heart. When arranging the packaging for the accessories, she also asked him if he wanted to choose couple accessories, "The meaning is to bless the other party with good health and career success!"

The male guest only pondered for a few seconds and then said in a low voice: "Which models?"

A flash of excitement flashed in the waiter's eyes; there is a play!

The next day, the weather was sunny.

The weather in July is already a bit hot, but today is a cloudy day, and traveling is still comfortable.

Tiangong Jewelry sent people to Chenxi Entertainment early in the morning, sent a few hot-selling accessories of the season to Jin Li, and said with a smile:

"Our president praised Jin Li yesterday, saying that her temperament is elegant, making the jewelry look even more beautiful."

Jin Li smiled slightly, shook hands with the person in charge, and said: "You are too polite."

She has been coming to Chenxi recently, and her schedule is still easy to find out.

Seeing that she was not arrogant or impetuous, the person in charge was even more satisfied, and the smile on her face became a bit more sincere.

She felt that Jin Li was a glittering God of Wealth, and she could eat a few more bowls of rice just by looking at her!

After she left, Sui Sui Lingfang also said: "It seems your endorsement performance is very good, even Tiangong Jewelry has started sending people to send sponsored products."

Jin Li has endorsed Duomi and Fang Fei, so she is no stranger to "sponsored products."

Duomi sent her many cosmetic products, while Fang Fei sent her some clothes, bags, and shoes.

Needless to say, Duomi focuses on mass-market products, with the highest single item being only a few hundred yuan.

Fang Fei is relatively generous, and the products sent range from a few thousand to tens of thousands.

This is the first time Jin Li has been sent jewelry.

Sui Sui Lingfang specifically took photos to check, a bit tongue-tied: "The cheapest is ten thousand, the most expensive is eighty thousand, a total of 6 pieces were sent. It seems Tiangong really wants to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with you!"

Jin Li asked: "Then should I wear one out?"

She is asking, she is going out to pray later, and the team plans to use this to get a trending search.

If a star makes it to the trending search, the outfit and accessories will definitely make it too.

So she is wearing Fang Fei's clothes and shoes today, carrying the endorsement to the end.

Sui Sui Lingfang thought about it and said: "Wear it, they also spent a lot of money."

Jin Li nodded. She picked and chose, choosing a peace jade pendant to hang on her waist.

Even if she is wearing modern attire, this jade pendant does not lose its charm. After putting it on, it has a "new Chinese style" trend.

There are still two hours before departure. Jin Li doesn't want to waste time, so she starts a study live stream. ===== CHAPTER 275 =====
