Ling Xiu nodded.
"It is said that it has been set for a summer release."
Chang Xiaosong's smile froze completely.
"What are Director Yan and the investors thinking? The main moviegoers in the summer are the student party. Generally, commercial blockbusters or adventure themes with fantasy and mythology will be more popular. No matter how you look at it, "Life is Like a Flower" should be released during the Spring Festival." file, right?"
"I probably understand Director Yan's thoughts." Ling Xiudao, "The summer vacation has a lot of traffic, and there is no powerful imported commercial blockbuster to fight, so why not take a gamble, maybe you can win a good box office."
"It's too optimistic." Chang Xiaosong looked serious, "Although there are no foreign blockbusters to compete with each other, there are several domestic blockbusters this summer, and there are also a few Chinese manga movies, all of which are hot sequels. "Life Is Like a Flower" You put so much effort into the movie, and you put all your savings into it, just in case..."
Having said that, Chang Xiaosong braked urgently.
He slapped his mouth, "Brother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't say some unlucky words."
Ling Xiu said with a smile, "There's nothing unlucky about this. It's possible to lose money on investment. Even if you lose money, it's a big deal to start over again. Director Yan and the production company are more professional than us, and they must have considered various pros and cons. Since It must be reasonable to set a summer vacation schedule. Again, relax, do what you should do, and the rest will depend on God's will."
Chang Xiaosong sighed lightly.
"Then hope that God will not disappoint you who are so hardworking and kind."
"I hope too." Ling Xiu put his hands together, looking serious, "Pray that the box office will be good, and I can earn some dividends. This is the first investment in my life."
Chang Xiaosong laughed out loud, "Very good, you are so rich and charming that you can't fail."
……
Before he knew it, Ling Xiu had been on the crew of "Blood in the Yellow Sand" for two months.
As long as he joins the group, he is usually invisible.
So apart from a few hot searches on "A netizen met Ling Xiu out for dinner", he was pretty clean during this time.
But the clean days didn't last long.
In mid-May, the official V of "Life Is Like a Flower" released the first official trailer, and officially announced that the movie will be released in summer vacation.
So Ling Xiu became a frequent searcher again.
First of all, Ling Xiu's acting skills in the trailer triggered a wave of hot searches;
Not long after, the CP feeling between Ling Xiu and the heroine triggered another wave of hot searches, and also set off a big discussion on "Which actress Ling Xiu has worked with has more CP sense".
The 2-minute trailer was almost overwhelmed by netizens and fans.
Most people think the trailer is very good-looking and have high expectations for the quality of the movie.
But most people don't quite understand that the movie will be released in the summer vacation, and they are not optimistic about the box office.
Some movie bloggers even boldly predicted that the total box office of "Life is Like a Flower" will not exceed one billion.
"Let's watch." Chang Xiaosong watched the trending search and sighed quietly, "Netizens have the same opinion as me. The movie must be a good movie, but it's not suitable for summer vacation."
Ling Xiu patted him on the shoulder, "Don't think so much, the sky can fall and you can use it as a quilt. Besides, there is such a word, what is it called? "Poisonous milk", right?The less optimistic the netizens are, the more miracles they can create. "
Chang Xiaosong was speechless, "What do you really believe in reverse poisonous milk?"
"It's better to have hope than nothing." Ling Xiu was calm and indifferent, "People live because they have thoughts."
"That's right." Chang Xiaosong admired Ling Xiu's calmness from the bottom of his heart, "Since it has become a fact and cannot be changed, let's do our best to promote it. Brother, when your movie is finished, "Life Is Like a Flower" will also start pre-sale and start publicity I'll make a video call with Sister Shu later, and ask about the company's publicity strategy."
……
Chang Xiaosong is a good buddy and a competent executive agent.
After discussing with Shen Jianshu, he actively communicated with the film propagandists.
When Ling Xiu was making a movie, he fulfilled his duties seriously, and even provided the crew with several sets of very helpful ideas.
Design the marketing direction.
Yan Wangchao is a young director who is willing to listen to opinions, and he has always actively accepted good suggestions.
With the efforts of several parties, the marketing and publicity of "Life is Like a Flower" has taken a new path.
First of all, each version of the movie has a different focus, some are warm and touching, some are youthful and ignorant, and some are ordinary and simple.
The story line of each trailer is very complete, different trailers attract different people, and Ling Xiu's image and temperament are different every time, which makes the discussion of the movie skyrocket.
The second is that the film official V has launched a series of rewarding second-creation interactions that are more enjoyable, attracting more talented scissors to join in and promote the film.
Again, Ling Xiu released a short a cappella version of the movie's theme song in advance as a surprise for everyone.
It is not uncommon for Ling Xiu to sing the theme song of a movie. Many actors can sing the theme song.
But an actor who composes the lyrics and sings the theme song of the movie is extremely rare in the entertainment industry.
This publicity point quickly ignited public opinion, and the discussion of the movie "Life Is Like a Flower" reached a new high.
Movie official V took advantage of the peak of popularity and released a 5-minute long trailer.
This trailer has received a lot of praise, especially the diversified presentation of Ling Xiu's acting skills, which refreshed the audience.
The popularity of "Life Is Like a Flower" has reached a climax.
Official V strikes while the iron is hot and starts the pre-sale.
It just so happened that Ling Xiu's commercial movie "Blood in the Yellow Sand" had just finished filming, and he quickly threw himself into the promotion.
On the day the pre-sale started, Ling Xiu made a short video with real feelings, hoping everyone would support "Life Is Like a Flower" and director Yan Wangchao's first big-screen work.
As soon as this video came out, it quickly became a hot search.
Many people were moved by the fact that Ling Xiu only promoted Yan Dao without mentioning himself, and envied the revolutionary friendship between Ling Xiu and Yan Wangchao;
But some people were sneering and sarcastic, thinking that Ling Xiu used his friendship as a selling point, and it was hypocritical.
Whether scolding or boasting, Ling Xiu readily accepted it.
In Vanity Fair, as a public figure, one must have the consciousness of being discussed.
……
The fighting of various blockbuster films in the summer vacation starts from the pre-sale.
The first day of pre-sale of "Life is Like a Flower" won a box office of 200 million.
Although it is slightly worse than several blockbusters in the same period, it is enough to surprise everyone.
Even more surprising is yet to come.
Three days later, the pre-sale of "Life Is Like a Flower" exceeded 800 million;
Five days later, the pre-sale reached a staggering 500 million;
Seven days later, the pre-sale of "Life Is Like a Flower" leapt to the second place in the summer season, only a little short of a commercial comedy with a lot of comedians.
As the release date approached, Ling Xiu, who was originally calm, also became a little nervous.
He was like a student who was about to face a big exam, and he was extremely nervous.
On the first night of the screening, Ling Xiu bought a ticket and went to a cinema near his home.
He wanted to take a good look at the movie as an audience member.
——More importantly, he wanted to see the reaction of ordinary audiences when they watched the movie live.
It was almost one o'clock in the morning when Ling Xiu arrived at the movie theater, unexpectedly, the theater was full and there were no seats left.
The moviegoers are male and female, and of different ages.
Ling Xiu even saw someone bring their gray-haired grandparents to the movies.
He was relieved that all the hard work was worth it.
Aside from being happy, the anxiety lingering in my heart has not disappeared.
With so many people coming to see a movie, you can't mess it up, let alone disappoint them.
Ling Xiu took a deep breath.
He told himself to be normal.
The title song sounded and the movie started.
Ling Xiu who was sitting in the corner pulled up the brim of his hat and began to watch the movie seriously.
At the beginning, there were still people eating popcorn and speaking in low voices in the theater.
But as the episode progresses, the chatter and eating sounds disappear.
The audience entered the world of the movie. With the development of the story and the joys and sorrows of the protagonist, they sometimes laughed, sometimes exclaimed, and sometimes cried.
When the last scene was over and the ending song Lingxiu's voice sounded, the audience stood up and applauded with tears in their eyes and smiles.
The applause lasted for a long, long time until the ending song ended.
"The best movie of the year in my mind."
"It's better than I imagined. It's been a long time since a movie made me laugh and cry."
"Tomorrow I'm going to bring my parents for a second brush."
"Ling Xiu's acting skills are good. When he played a down-and-out middle-aged man, I immediately felt sad."
At the end of the show, Ling Xiu heard the audience's discussion, his eyes were moist and his nose was sore.
His heart was swollen and full of joy.
No trophy is as good as the reputation of the common people.
The audience's endless applause and generous praise are the highest praise for his work.
As an actor, he walked without complaint or regret.
The feature film "Life Is Like a Flower" earned [-] million at the box office on its first day of release.
After word-of-mouth fermentation, the box office went up to a higher level on the second day, easily surpassing comedy commercial blockbusters, and scored an astonishing [-] million box office.
A week later, the box office of "Life is Like a Flower" exceeded 30 billion, making it the runner-up of this year's box office.
When the movie was released, the box office of the movie reached a staggering 50 billion.
Ling Xiu became the highest-grossing male actor under the age of 35.
With practical actions, he completely washed away the curse of the "Golden Monkey Newcomer Award" and became the recognized "Ziwei Star from Heaven" in everyone's hearts.
"Strength beats all dissatisfaction" became Ling Xiu's new slogan, not only worshiped by netizens, but even Heizi had to admit that Ling Xiu was very awesome.
……
The first movie in his life won word-of-mouth and box office, and became an outstanding young actor with both real traffic and actual performance, which made Ling Xiu ecstatic.
But there was one more thing that made him so happy he could laugh in his dreams.
That's when his investment paid off.
The box office of 50 billion allowed Ling Xiu, a small investor, to get a huge return.
As a deep-rooted money fan, this is a great thing. When I return to God's Domain after a few years, I have to show it off to the patriarch's grandfather.
Zheng Bosong, as a big investor in "Life Is Like a Flower", received even greater rewards.
He was very happy, and he looked a few years younger.
When Yan Wangchao invited him to the celebration banquet, Zheng Bosong waved his hand and said that he must attend. Not only that, he was responsible for all the expenses of the celebration banquet.
The celebration banquet of "Life Is Like a Flower" was arranged in a five-star hotel on the outskirts of Yunjing, and all members of the crew, even part-timers at the time, were invited to the event.
In addition, some bigwigs in the film industry were also invited to the celebration banquet.
Ling Xiu was wearing a black suit, extremely luxurious and handsome.
Together with Shen Jianshu, holding champagne, he calmly greeted people around.
After turning around for a while, seeing that the dinner party was about to start, Ling Xiu found that his boss, Zheng Baisong, had not appeared for a long time.
