Chapter 342 What if he really succeeds?
"No problem."
Du Sheng nodded in agreement.
To put it bluntly, the value of entertainers in the entertainment industry is like the stock market, which inevitably rises and falls.
And I have undoubtedly been an appreciating stock recently, so I am favored by the public,
Even amid the craze for "Mouse Falls in Love with Cat", his heroic words during the K1 finals are often mentioned!
What Du Sheng didn't realize was that in addition to the newspaper reports, some people in the circle who had interacted with him also expressed their support in the past two days.
It’s a process of being accepted by the mainstream.
When you become strong, you become part of the rules.
In the next few days, Du Sheng continued to promote with Zhang Baizhi and Fan Bingbing respectively, and frequently accepted media interviews.
In terms of box office, the trend is pretty good.
January 2, 4.8 million yuan.
January 3, 4.1 million yuan.
In just three days of release, the total box office in the mainland reached 14 million yuan, and major entertainment media have reported on this.
Especially for the "Metropolitan Entertainment News", Zheng Ziyan wrote a 2,000-word article with great enthusiasm.
Major media followed up with reports, which had a significant impact.
People who had no intention of watching the movie actually came up with the idea of exploring the truth after reading relevant reports.
So much so that after New Year's Day, the number can still remain at two to three million per day.
Completely in line with Du Sheng and Wang Jing's expectations.
As of January 6, at the time of closing, the cumulative box office of "Mouse Falls in Love with Cat" in the Mainland has exceeded 20 million.
In order to capitalize on Du Sheng's popularity, Tieba and Tianya Entertainment posted posters of "A Mouse Falls in Love with a Cat" for free.
With such a powerful publicity campaign, the popularity of this movie far exceeds the previous level,
In addition, the plot is more exciting than the original work, and the box office is naturally rising.
This situation was unexpected by Wang Jing. He now almost regards Du Sheng as the savior of movies.
As soon as the first week's box office was announced, the media and industry were shocked!
22.1 million!
This is definitely an eye-catching number!
Unless the film market suffers a catastrophic blow, it is certain that the total domestic box office of "Mouse Loves a Cat" will exceed 40 million.
Some even began to predict whether the film's box office in the mainland would hit the 50 million mark.
There was a lot of discussion in the circle.
Among them, the three leading actors naturally attracted much attention.
It is worth mentioning that Fan Bingbing became famous after "Mobile", and her popularity was once close to that of the four major actresses.
Now with the huge popularity of "Mouse Falls in Love with Cat", she is definitely one of the most mentioned female artists in the industry recently.
Fan Yaojing, who is extremely enterprising, knows very well who she is lucky enough to have today,
In order to repay the man these two nights, my waist almost broke.
"What kind of luck does this Fan Bingbing have?"
"It is rumored that Du Sheng snatched her appearance in "Mobile Phone" from another Bing Bing."
"No! Du Sheng was involved in a scandal with Zhang Baizhi yesterday. Why is it related to my 'Bingbang' again?"
"Du Sheng is indeed a box-office manager. He appeared in a Lunar New Year film for the first time and directly created a trend!"
“Even Hollywood blockbusters can’t resist it, it’s so fierce!”
The box office in the first week was 20 million.
It’s already in the shape of a big fire!
While he was busy, Du Sheng also paid attention to the box office performance of "The Fight".
It was found that the film's box office performance was also good.
If it weren't for the outstanding performance of "Mouse Falls in Love with Cat", it would probably be this Hollywood blockbuster that is being reported by Eastern media right now.
"A showdown between strong films."
Du Sheng sighed.
As long as it can remain standing, this is also the benefit of collision.
Both in terms of popularity and box office, "The Fight" is much higher than its predecessor.
Correspondingly, the box office limit of "Mouse Falls in Love with Cat" has also been quietly increased, winning the weekly box office championship with an absolute advantage!
Even Xiangjiang had a good start with 12 million in the first week.
Maybe it has to do with word of mouth?
Wang Jing rushed back to Hong Kong without stopping and reported to the boss of Media Asia Pictures on the box office performance of "Mouse Falls in Love with Cat" that night.
Calculated based on an average of one month of release, the total box office of "Mouse Falls in Love with Cat" in the mainland is about 43 million.
If you include the retaliatory consumption during the Spring Festival, there is still a chance of 50 million!
Du Sheng, who had finished his busy work, couldn't care about this for the time being.
After connecting with Ye Chengzhi and Wang Jinhua, we started to prepare for the trip.
Beijing, Huayi headquarters.
Wang Zhongjun and Ding Qi, however, did not feel the joy of approaching the New Year at all, and were a little silent at the moment.
"Cell Phone", which is about to be released, has received a score of 46 million, although it has been impacted by two blockbusters.
As long as you keep grinding, it is highly likely that you will pass the 50 million mark.
Despite this, the company's annual earnings are still in the red.
In order to save costs, the company's annual meeting, which was previously held continuously, has been canceled this year.
"This blockbuster movie is a hit again. What a bad luck!"
Listening to Ding Qi's curse, Wang Zhongjun knew why he was angry and frowned:
"Although I don't like Du Sheng either, you did overreact that night."
In other words, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to save Ding Qi's face despite the scrutiny of insiders. What's more, now that Du Sheng is a famous person, he will not be manipulated casually.
Ding Qi leaned on the sofa, took a puff of his cigar, and was filled with irritation.
He had been feeling weak all over the past few days, his kidneys were aching, and he couldn't feel energetic for anything.
From a friend's point of view, this is excessive drinking and debauchery, which hurts the fundamentals.
But that's not what's bothering him most right now. He frowned:
"Do you really want to let Feng pants go and leave without letting the people above persuade you?"
Wang Zhongjun looked at the night scene outside the window and sighed:
"If you can't persuade him, let him go out and try his best, otherwise he won't give up."
"What if he really succeeds?"
Ding Qi is mainly worried about this.
After all, Feng Xiaogang’s achievements are obvious to all.
At that time, even if the two sides can still cooperate, they, Huayi, will inevitably give up greater interests.
Wang Zhongjun said meaningfully:
"He may be good at making movies, but this aspect only accounts for a small part in determining the success or failure of a movie..."
Unlike Ding Qi, who was gloomy, Wang Jing and Lin Jianyue, who were far away in Xiangjiang, were in high spirits.
Lin Jianyue held the box office report card in his hand, looked at it repeatedly, and laughed loudly:
"Old Wang, you are indeed a genius of Xiangjiang movies. You are at the top once you make a move."
Wang Jing waved his hands modestly and said with a smile:
"This is because of Du Sheng, otherwise the box office would never be so high. This kid has a bright future."
Lin Jianyue walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out at the bustling night view of Hong Kong:
"In the future, Media Asia will try to bring him in when making movies. At least we won't lose money."
Also in Xiangjiang, Xinghui Film and Television Company.
Zhou Xingchi is talking with general manager and agent Tian Qiwen.
"Asheng's box office appeal is very strong, and our "Kung Fu" may be able to make a fuss about it."
Although he has box office appeal, he has not produced a finished product in four years.
What's more, adding Du Sheng is an extra guarantee.
"Indeed it should be."
Tian Qiwen felt a little emotional and said:
"It's a pity that I couldn't sign him at that time. It was like a dragon crossing the river."
At several large film studios such as China Film and Western Film, related scenes were occasionally mentioned at dinner parties among management.
Many people are even joking that Du Sheng will have to be involved in making movies in the future.
After all, this person’s box office appeal no longer needs much introduction.
That night, Guangming Daily even devoted an entire page of entertainment headlines to reporting on Du Sheng.
The title of the article is particularly eye-catching.
"Du Sheng's movie era is coming!" 》
In addition to mentioning "Big Man", "Infernal Affairs 2", and "Mouse Falls in Love with Cat", it also highlighted several upcoming or preparation movies such as "Kung Fu", "House of Flying Daggers", and "Slaying the Wolf". .
Naturally, other media outlets did not want to lag behind and reprinted this report from the official media.
For a time, the entire entertainment industry focused on Du Sheng.
Today, he can be called a hot favorite.
Endorsement fees have soared by at least 10%, and appearance fees for commercial performances have doubled. In all aspects, he has already surpassed the ranks of first-line stars.
A performance company even invited him to hold a solo concert, with the asking price being as high as 5 million per concert.
These phenomena most directly reflect his recent surge in popularity.
And behind this, it is inseparable from the strong support of fans.
Therefore, on the sixth day after the movie was released, he personally shot a short video to thank his fans and posted it on Tieba, blog, and Tianya's personal homepage.
Along with the offline popularity, there is also online attention.
In order to gain popularity, Baidu Browser immediately announced the recent user search index.
Not surprisingly, Du Sheng ranked first.
Far ahead of Daolang, who ranked second and released the magic specialization, and Zhou Jielun, who was third.
Among them, the three major social platforms contributed huge traffic.
Fans are excitedly discussing the movie, which has also brought about an increase in box office to a certain extent.
In just a short period of time, the total number of fans on several platforms has exceeded 18 million.
The reputation value has also accumulated to the 200,000 mark!
Along with this, some negative voices also emerged.
Many jealous people maliciously spread rumors and tried to slander it.
Of course Du Sheng's fans will not sit idly by.
Fight back spontaneously.
Before Yang Siwei's public opinion department could react, those "anti-fans" were defeated, which made her sigh with emotion.
After New Year's Day, people became busy, and the growth rate of box office gradually slowed down.
The daily box office hovers between two million, with occasional small peaks on weekends.
Du Sheng no longer pays too much attention to these, because his expected goal has been achieved.
And the Spring Festival holiday hasn’t come yet, and that’s when the blowout will begin.
Then we just have to wait for the final box office announcement, and the media will naturally report it.
