Chapter 731: Word of mouth and box office soar

Before twelve o'clock, Luo Xun did not forget to take Zhang Suining to the teacher's house for dinner. As a result, he found that Xia Yu would have to eat dinner alone at home. He contacted the teacher to ask if he could take Xia Yu with him. As a result, the teacher said angrily: "You are talking nonsense. What's the matter with leaving a little girl alone at home? Come together, or don't come. It's your teacher's wife. Explain yourself."

"..."

Luo Xun was sweating.

It is difficult for outsiders to understand his close relationship with Xia Yu and Zhang Suining. Most of them want to label themselves as iron scumbags, especially women like the teacher's wife who have strong opinions. Most of them regard themselves as class enemies.

He felt guilty.

But things that have been agreed upon cannot be regretted. Besides, Luo Xun really couldn't bear to let Xia Yu be alone at home. Usually, she could let her fend for herself. Anyway, this girl is actually quite strong, but it can't be done during the Chinese New Year. Xia Yu has had a shadow of the Chinese New Year since she was very young. Without Luo Xun, she would be really lonely.

Half an hour later.

The black car stopped outside an antique courtyard. Luo Xun, Zhang Suining, and Xia Yu entered the teacher's house. It turned out that the first person to be frightened by the scene was not the teacher's wife, but Xia Yu herself——

Inside the house.

The big guys, familiar or unfamiliar, were just like ordinary people, with their hands in their sleeves, cracking melon seeds and chatting. If Xia Yu hadn't met some of them before, she would have thought she had recognized the wrong person. Naturally, everyone also found Xia Yu, and everyone smiled kindly and nodded as a greeting.

"Luo Xun..."

Xia Yu was so flustered that she never expected Luo Xun's background to be so terrifying. As a result, she was taken to the teacher by Luo Xun and Zhang Suining to ask for red envelopes. Among them, Zhang Suining had been here last year, so she was not as restrained as Xia Yu and was relatively familiar with the teacher.

"Happy New Year, teacher."

As soon as he entered the door, Luo Xun called out sweetly, and Xia Yu and Zhang Suining followed suit to wish each other a happy new year. The teacher smiled happily, and his eyes paused on Xia Yu's face for a few seconds, and then gave each of them a red envelope, obviously prepared in advance.

"Sui Sui is here."

The teacher's wife appeared, her face full of joy. She liked Zhang Suining very much, but when she saw Xia Yu, she was immediately surprised: "Did Luo Xun bring this girl too? She's so pretty, and she's comparable to our Sui Sui!"

"Hello, teacher's wife."

Zhang Suining took the initiative to take the teacher's wife's arm and help Luo Xun out: "Xia Yu is my best friend and Luo Xun's sister, so we brought her to see you two. There is a gift I prepared for you in the car, I'll bring it to you later."

"Hey."

The teacher's wife didn't She was angry, but she still liked Xia Yu very much. This kind of girl with a beautiful face and bright eyes was naturally likable. But she still had to say something to Luo Xun, otherwise she was afraid that her house would not be crowded during the Chinese New Year: "Sui Sui, you and Xiao Xia should have a cup of tea here first, I will find Luo Xun to talk."

"Okay."

Zhang Sui Ning said that she had tried her best, and Luo Xun had to follow the master's wife into another room, but there was no expected scolding. The master's wife just glanced at him and said, "The two are almost there."

Luo Xun was stunned.

The master's wife glared at him unhappily and turned back to her room. She and her husband were such great people, how could they not know what the relationship between Luo Xun and Xia Yu was? No matter Zhang Sui Ning or Xia Yu's background, the two old people knew it very well, and it was not even their intention to check, but someone took the initiative to help them check it out and handed it over. That's why they knew that the two girls were really good, so they didn't say anything more.

Just passed it like that?

Luo Xun had prepared a lot of explanations, such as he and Xia Yu were as close as brothers and sisters, Sui Sui and Xia Yu were as close as sisters, and so on. In the end, none of his explanations worked. During dinner, the table was full of joy, even more lively than in previous years.

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening when he returned home with Zhang Sui Ning and Xia Yu. After letting them go to bed, Luo Xun waited for a while and finally waited for the first-day box office reports of several movies during the Spring Festival.

The box office report shows:

Currently ranked first is "The Orphan of Zhao" with the strongest cast, with a first-day box office of about 25 million, which is a very good result. After all, the best first-day result in China is only more than 30 million.

The second place is "Partners".

The first-day box office was 18.5 million.

The third place is "Ip Man 2: The Grandmaster's Legend", with a first-day box office of 12 million; the fourth place "Under the Hawthorn Tree" only had a first-day box office of 9 million. It is indeed difficult for Zhang Yimou to get a box office for such a pure love theme -

This result.

It was not unexpected for Luo Xun.

However, for the industry, this result was greatly unexpected. It was no problem for "The Orphan of Zhao" to lead, after all, the influence of all the stars was still very strong; the data of Lao Mouzi and Ye Weixin might not be much different, and their advantages and disadvantages were obvious; but what about Chen Kexin's movie?

18.5 million?

According to the previous analysis of the industry, it was almost unanimously determined that "Partners" was the most likely to be the last among the four films, but it was unexpected that the box office on the first day ranked second. This is not the last, it is clearly the rhythm of taking off!

However...

For viewers who have actually watched "Partners", this result is completely expected, because the quality of this movie is very good, and its reputation has continued to rise since the premiere. , this thing will greatly affect the first-day box office of the movie.

Movies are released together.

The audience is also in a dilemma.

Movie fans who have a tendency to go straight to Huanglong will naturally go straight to Huanglong. Those who admire Zhen Zidan go to see Donnie Yen, those who admire Lao Mouzi go to see Lao Mouzi, and those who like Uncle Ge go to see Uncle Ge. However, smart neutral audiences often wait first. After word-of-mouth comes out, look at which movie has the best reputation and then choose which movie to watch. After the premiere of several movies, Chen Kexin's "Partners" is the one with the best reputation, so the final choice for this group of people is not difficult. Guessed.

In fact.

Many movies can counterattack by relying on word-of-mouth fermentation from neutral audiences. "Partners" won the hearts of the audience in this way. It is so fair that the audience gives back to the movie box office in this way.

And on the second day.

While the media from all sides are reporting on the box office results of several movies during the Spring Festival, a variety of film reviews are naturally coming out. Among them, the focus of discussion is clearly the movie with the highest reputation——

"Partner" starring Luo Xun!
