Chapter 252 Please start your performance

Since Bai Youlou made his debut, he has gained considerable fame through several movies.

The box office results can be considered remarkable. After all, the previous "Daydreamer" also broke 2 billion, and it is still among the top ten domestic film box office so far.

However, when it comes to movie box office, the gap between the top ten is actually quite large.

The total box office of the domestic film currently ranked first is close to 4 billion.

The box office of "The Dreamers", which ranked seventh, was only over 2 billion.

However, for Bai Youlou, it is naturally enough to prove his ability in commercial films.

But it’s not phenomenal enough!
It didn’t even win the annual box office championship.

But this time it was different, what did it mean that a god came down to earth? !

The first-day box office of over 400 million is like a god descending to earth! Like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, I don’t know how many first-day box office records it has broken.

This almost brutal and gluttonous eating behavior leaves almost no room for other films of the same period to survive.

This is also the confidence that Lao Zhou dares to pull those theater chain leaders together to "determine the winner and decide life and death."

At the dinner table, the three topics he talked about were the sales exceeding 400 million on the first day.

Also, due to the influence of the movie, the theme song, ending song, and interlude directly topped many music charts.

Coupled with the movie's high rating of 9.8, tickets were actually hard to come by.

If you want to watch "Dying to Survive" during prime time in many theaters, it is simply impossible to buy tickets.

In just one day, the average screening schedule of the movie reached over 80 percent.

It squeezed almost all other movies into the corners and occupied almost all the best time slots.

Want to watch another movie? Sure, morning and midnight shows are open to you.

Such a domineering style naturally offended quite a lot of people, but Bai Youlou didn't feel it at all.

Even those capitals whose interests were damaged by him seemed to present enthusiastic smiles in front of him.

Bai Youlou, who has always been known for his crazy criticism and whose reputation in the circle is definitely not good and whose popularity is not that good, seems to have become a "heartthrob" overnight.

Bai Youlou was a little confused when he saw those unfamiliar colleagues recommending their own movies online. Who are you guys? Do you know them?
It doesn’t matter that he doesn’t know these people, they really want to know him.

The "entertainment industry madam" Zhao Su even contacted me, saying that she had already found ten sisters in the industry, and everyone was looking forward to meeting Director Bai.
She even hinted that if ten weren't enough, she could keep in touch.

Unfortunately, Bai Youlou doesn't have the time to fight ten of them.
Liu Manli followed him like a pervert, possessed.

"Four hundred million! Four hundred million!"

Our entertainment industry's leading lady, the queen with a very strong aura and oppressive feeling, is almost drooling. Now she has a silly smile on her face, muttering the first day's box office results, and there seem to be little stars in her eyes.

Hmm. It seems a bit like it has been broken.

But in reality, Bai Youlou didn't have the time to play games with her.

There was no way. No matter how knowledgeable Liu Manli was, she had never heard of such explosive results, let alone experienced them.

Before the movie was released, Liu Manli was actually very confident about the success of "Dying to Survive", but the performance of the movie now has nothing to do with confidence.

If she had been told of this result before, Liu Manli would have thought she was crazy.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the box office will exceed 1 billion in the first weekend. Is there anyone in the industry faster than me?" Bai Youlou asked curiously after answering a phone call.

"How is that possible?!" Liu Manli said loudly, "No one can be faster than you!"

Ok?
This sounds a bit weird.
Liu Manli also reacted. Because of this, she finally calmed down. The expression she had just now was indeed a bit inconsistent with her personality.

"Ahem, they're talking about the box office~"

Bai Youlou looked at her strangely. It was indeed rare to see Liu Manli deliberately speaking in a low voice and acting coquettishly.

Although Liu Manli was very close to him in the past, she was at least able to remain calm and reserved.

To put it bluntly, it's just that I can't humble myself, except in bed.

But now Bai Youlou seemed to see a Persian cat wagging its tail at him.

"Let's stop talking about this and go to bed early. I have a very busy roadshow schedule later."

"How can I sleep?" Liu Manli told the truth. She was so excited that her head was buzzing.

"You don't have to follow the roadshow so intensively. Even if you can't sleep, you can just make up for it tomorrow."

"That won't work!"

Liu Manli rejected it outright, and then said shyly: "I want to follow you forever."

"Why are you following me?"

"You've been so tired from the roadshow, I'll help you relieve your fatigue~"

"you?"

Looking at Bai Youlou's suspicious eyes, as if to prove that she did what she said, Liu Manli stood up and helped Bai Youlou massage his shoulders.

You know what, it's really... pretty mediocre.

Fortunately, she had a backup plan. If pinching his shoulders from behind didn't work, she could just move to the front.

Zip up Bai Youlou's pants.
Call ~
This really can relieve fatigue.

In other words, it increases fatigue.

Normally, with a little drink and some music, under the slightly dim light, the ambiguous atmosphere can be maximized.

This is Liu Manli's favorite tune~
Whenever conditions permit, she will do something to add to the atmosphere.

But there is no need for that today. I feel that the box office results have become the best "additive" and Liu Manli has already entered the state.

Bai Youlou doesn't even need to do any preliminary work.

Look, before he even had time to react, the woman lifted her skirt and sat down.

Bai Youlou: ???

So sudden?
Liu Manli looked back at him charmingly and said, "You should have a good rest. You still have to go on a roadshow tomorrow. I will do it myself."

Surprised, Bai Youlou had no choice but to make a "please come in" gesture.

Please start your performance.
-
The effect of breaking 400 million on the first day gave different feedback to different people.

This result made Lao Zhou "desperate", Liu Manli extremely proactive, and Lu Wenyuan a chatterbox. The most outrageous one was Qiu Yanran. Bai Youlou suspected that this woman had secretly taken aphrodisiacs.

That face looked like it had blush on.

But she was putting on makeup in front of Bai Youlou, so it was clear that this woman didn't wear any blush at all.

It was just a pure rush of blood and her eyes were always watery when she looked at Bai Youlou, as if she wanted to eat him in one bite.

Occasionally, the two of them looked at each other, and they could clearly see her licking her lips and squeezing her legs subconsciously. Bai Youlou did not feel proud of this, but instead thought that this woman was somewhat unprofessional.

You're not working properly, but you're mad at me from afar?

We should go find Long Ziqiang to form a team for the roadshow.
However, the joint roadshow of the Hat Brothers might be more effective.

This time the roadshow was divided into three groups to maximize efficiency.

Before the first day's results came out, Bai Youlou initially just wanted to split the team into two groups.

When the first day's results came out, his head was actually buzzing. Then he immediately decided: seize this opportunity and set a box office record that would scare his peers!

Then naturally we need to expand the scope of the roadshow.

Lu Wenyuan is responsible for the whole journey, Long Ziqiang leads Zhen Dongjun, and the bond between the brothers in hats is outstanding.

Bai Youlou originally wanted to go his own way with Qiu Yanran.

But Qiu Yanran refused to do it. She said she couldn't take on the responsibility. This was not to shirk responsibility. This woman's habit since her debut was to rely on others.
I'm used to having someone behind me or in front of me.

This can be said to be career or posture.

In short, she followed Bai Youlou wherever he went.

Unfortunately, Liu Manli, who originally wanted to follow, left.

As a producer, how could she really follow Bai Youlou around all the time? She also had a lot of things to do.

Today, the box office performance of "Dying to Survive" is no longer just a commercial film.

Especially movies with realistic themes, they symbolize more.

Someone from the higher-ups had called a long time ago, and Liu Manli had to coordinate the relevant matters.

"This is not only a rare domestic realistic film with a high degree of completion, but also a work that breaks the so-called institutional barriers with sincerity and wins the audience with regular filming techniques."

"Dying to Survive uses 117 minutes to tell a story that is closely related to life. The plot revolves around the common "medicine" in life and unfolds a tortuous plot. There is a clash between ideals and reality, as well as a collision between emotions and the legal system. In the rich atmosphere of reality, whether it is medicine or patients, they will inadvertently poke the audience's tears."

"The film's editing is smooth, and the language of the shots is crisp and humorous. The film has laughter, tears, and reflections. With the advancement of small details of life, the director takes the ordinary, humble, and uneventful daily life of the little people to a more profound level."

"The film depicts the reality of grassroots groups and vividly unfolds the tenacious life stories of small people. The small characters played by a group of actors are also full of shining points, and everyone has contributed solid performances."

"."

The fate of some mainstream media can be regarded as the beginning of the setting of the tone of the film.

“Dying to Survive is a breakthrough for the Chinese film industry and a rare film that reflects social significance through the lens of cinema.”

The big one is coming!
The 7 o'clock news every day advertises Bai Youlou.

Bai Youlou, who received the news in advance, received a call from Liu Manli while watching the news.

She didn't say much, just a reminder, "Don't worry, there's a bigger one!"

Her tone was filled with suppressed excitement, which gave us a rough idea of ​​how big it was.

Eight days after the movie was released!

The box office has officially exceeded 2 billion!

After only eight days of release, it achieved the same result as the previous film "The Dreamers", which was almost taken off the screen.

The industry also made the box office estimate of "Dying to Survive" reach over 4 billion.

On the same day, XXX issued a directive on the heated public debate sparked by the movie "Dying to Survive", requiring relevant departments to speed up the implementation of solutions to the "drug use problem" for the people.

Three days later, the State Intellectual Property Office held its third press conference, where the office spokesperson and director of the office discussed the drug patent issues involved in the movie “Dying to Survive”.

He also said that the Patent Law is currently undergoing its fourth revision. Although the plan has not yet been finalized, they will "work together to ensure that ordinary people have good medicines that are affordable."

"hiss"

"No, man! My head is a bit dizzy right now."

Lao Zhou's speech was a little incoherent. It was unclear whether he drank too much or his brain capacity was insufficient. He talked for a long time but there was no point.

However, all he heard was Bai Youlou's sigh on the other end of the phone.

"Brother Lou, why are you sighing? Our movie is taking off! In every aspect!"

“Looks like I’ll have to keep a low profile for a while.”

As for Lao Zhou, Bai Youlou didn't have much to pretend about.

After hearing what he said, Lao Zhou understood immediately and laughed, "We really need to keep a low profile. We shouldn't create any weird gossip at this time. It would be embarrassing."

This is the downside of being noticed and named by the higher-ups.

Nowadays in the entertainment industry, at least at this time, absolutely no one dares to jump out and sing a different tune from Bai Youlou.

No matter who the reporters interviewed, they all praised "Dying to Survive".

But this treatment is also a restriction. Bai Youlou must not do anything out of line within a period of time.

"I've asked Qiu Yanran to go find Lu Wenyuan."

"Makes sense! Apart from An Luning, Lu Wenyuan is a guy who doesn't like women. It's just right to throw Qiu Yanran over there. This woman is not a good person. Brother Lou, stay away from her."

More than just not a good person!
Qiu Yanran drank it like a fucking aphrodisiac.

During these days of roadshows with Bai Youlou, she was getting horny whenever she had a chance.
It must be so tiring to be on the road! But she seems to have unlimited energy.

In hotels, in cars, backstage at movie theaters and even in the men's restroom.

As long as there is a slight chance, Bai Youlou will be forced to hand over something!
In the last two days, Bai Youlou even wanted to avoid her. This woman is a little crazy.

If we continue like this, there's no chance that we won't be discovered by reporters.

Qiu Yanran's look was too explicit, and something was very wrong with her.

I even started to have trouble speaking Mandarin, and the coquettish tone of my Taiwanese accent began to take over.

In this situation, Bai Youlou must decisively get rid of her.

Otherwise something serious will happen.

Without this woman who affects his mentality around him, Bai Youlou can focus more on roadshows.

Because of the fate of the national team, "Dying to Survive" is not just a movie symbol, it carries more meaning.

How can I put it? The relevant leaders have called Bai Youlou and arranged the delayed key for the movie. At the same time, they also told him that they might arrange to organize a movie viewing later.
Originally, Bai Youlou thought that his movie should be able to gross 4 billion yuan and compete for the title of domestic film box office champion.

But now, he feels that he might be able to create a box office record that will be admired by everyone in the next ten years!
Just as he had mentioned to Liu Manli.

The time, place and people are favorable.

This time it is an enhanced version.

Having said that, Bai Youlou looked at the screen full of good reviews and always felt that there was a "force" that seemed to be absent.
