Entertainment Empire

As expected by Luo Xun, the pre-sale of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" continued to rise in the next few days, and three days later, the pre-sale exceeded 100 million, which shocked countless people in the circle!

Different time and space.

For Luo Xun, who has experienced the era of box office explosion, the pre-sale box office exceeding 100 million is a common thing, but for people in the circle in this life, it is the first time!

Now it is September 10th.

There are still 20 days before the release, and the pre-sale has exceeded 100 million. What will happen later? Is this movie going to achieve a feat that many big-budget movies have not been able to achieve before they are released?

No one knows.

On September 15th, the TV series "In the Name of People", which had been filmed for several months, finally ushered in the final moment. When the director announced the news, the whole crew was boiling...

"It's finally over."

Luo Xun also felt relieved. In the later period, he had asked for leave many times due to the promotion of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". Although he always asked for leave on days when his role was not heavy, it was inevitable that it would be a bit inappropriate to keep doing so.

But I can't say I'm happy.

Unlike some professions that only regard work as a way to support their families, for Luo Xun, acting is a very comfortable thing, especially being able to communicate and learn with a group of veteran actors in a crew to verify their own strength, which makes him feel very happy. Now that "In the Name of People" has ushered in the final moment, it also means that he has to temporarily say goodbye to these veteran actors

and Hou Liangping at the same time.

After so many years of filming, Luo Xun couldn't tell whether he was injecting life into every character he met, or whether the appearance of these characters gave Luo Xun the opportunity to experience other people's lives, but there is no doubt that Luo Xun would develop feelings for his own characters.

He remembered very clearly...

When he was acting in "Baolian Lantern", he once entered a state of madness, so that he couldn't tell whether he was Luo Xun or Yang Jian. In the end, he was injured once before he came out of that state of mind that couldn't be said to be good or bad, but he felt a feeling of a character being peeled off from his body.

That taste was not pleasant.

Just like falling in love, the process of every love is of course sweet and easy, but when every love ends, the sadness and reluctance are also real, just like Luo Xun now is also reluctant to part with Hou Liangping. He will never be a pure righteous man like Hou Liangping, but it does not prevent him from touching the character, feeling the other party's thoughts and attitudes, and interpreting them.

Goodbye, Hou Liangping.

This is just a temporary farewell. We will meet again in the end. When this TV series is officially broadcast and rebroadcast several times, I hope that we will not disappoint each other at that time.

Smile.

Luo Xun declined the wrap-up banquet tonight and began to prepare for the promotion of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". The crew did not force him. Everyone knows that Luo Xun is in a critical period before the movie is about to be released, so it is completely understandable that he has no time to have a drunken dream.

…

Luo Xun really deserves his current popularity. After he joined the promotion in person without any worries, he was basically crazily sought after by fans and reporters wherever he went!

After Yanjing.

Luo Xun and Zhou Xingchi led their own promotion teams. In just a few days, they traveled all over the major first- and second-tier cities across the country. After a few days of busy work, they were almost exhausted. Fortunately, the harvest was very gratifying. On September 20, the pre-sale box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" had exceeded 300 million!

Not only broke the record.

Moreover, it instantly surpassed the previous record of tens of millions, directly raising the data to a position that many people need to look up to. Even if Stephen Chow himself replicates it in this period, it is probably difficult to do it again.

The circle is completely crazy!

Everyone knows that this movie will be a hit, it's an obvious thing, but the pre-sale has exceeded 300 million, which is a completely inhuman rhythm. I don’t know how many movies have set off firecrackers to celebrate if the total box office reaches 300 million before the end of the period!

"Crazy, crazy!"

"As soon as the special of Zhou Xingchi came out, this movie went crazy. His significance to this movie is equivalent to the last work of some top-tier writers. Although he will continue to be a director in the future, it is probably hopeless to see this face on the big screen. This is Zhou Xingchi's last movie. There is no better reason to let the audience go to the cinema."

"It made Luo Xun successful."

"Luo Xun is definitely going to be a first-tier movie, but we have to admit that the promotion of this movie has been done to the extreme in all aspects, and the level of sophistication even surpassed the original slogan: We owe Master Xing a movie ticket."

"..."

In his previous life, Zhou Xingchi's last acting in person was "CJ7". Since then, he has only directed but not acted in all his movies. The king of comedy has never made a public explanation, but there is an intriguing fact that this movie, Zhou Xingchi's last movie, did not have a high reputation.

Later, I recalled it.

If I had known that "CJ7" would be Zhou Xingchi's last movie, what would it be like? This question is silly. Maybe Zhou Xingchi himself didn't expect that it would be his last movie.

This life.

With such publicity, people's feelings for the King of Comedy were completely awakened, so the industry said that this was the most brilliant publicity, although Zhou Xingchi himself did not use this as a publicity method, but just a pre-publicity.

"Only ten days left."

After running publicity in various cities, when Luo Xun and Zhou Xingchi talked again, their voices contained the same expectation. Due to some special circumstances in the early stage of this movie, a lot of money was wasted, resulting in the production and publicity costs of the movie adding up to 400 million. If the final box office does not create a new record high enough, it will be considered a loss.

The minimum guarantee is 10 billion.

If the box office exceeds 10 billion, the movie will not be considered a loss. With all the channels added together, it is not difficult to recover the cost, but Luo Xun's goal is not just to recover the so-called cost. If you just want to break even, why shoot a blockbuster?

His goal is bigger!

Although the highest domestic box office record so far is only 500 or 600 million, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" cannot be viewed with common sense. In terms of cost, this movie has also set a record for domestic movies. I am afraid that for a long time in the future, no one will dare to touch this terrifying investment of 400 million. High risk means high return, and high return also means high risk.

Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons!

The ten-day countdown begins!
