Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

On July 8, the Hollywood movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was released, and the co-starring roles of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie did not slow down the record-breaking pace of "Bottom Girl".

The astonishing attendance on the first day of "Bottom Girl" prompted theaters to adjust their schedules.

On the second day, all major theaters invariably increased their screenings for "Hot Girl," from nearly 60% on the first day to 65 to 70%. "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" accounted for about 20%, and the remaining screenings were again divided among other films.

The biggest advantage of the summer season is students. This group is most susceptible to the influence of their peers, forming a scale effect of movie viewing.

"Bottom Girl" happens to have all the objective factors to attract students to the theater.

If the box office explosion of "Bottom Girl" on the first day was due to the enthusiasm of Shanhe book fans, then starting from the second day, the student group joined the main force of watching the movie!

Groups of teenagers began to appear in theaters in major cities across the country. Their cheerful figures and noisy chatter and laughter brought a different kind of scenery to the theaters.

Twenty-four million eight hundred thousand!

On July 8, the day after "Bottom Girl" was released, China's single-day box office record was broken again!

At the same time, the box office data of Hong Kong and Taiwan were also exposed by the media.

The box office in Hong Kong Island exceeded 10 million in two days, reaching more than 13.6 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking first in the box office rankings, and also setting a new box office record for mainland movies in Hong Kong Island.

In Taiwan, "Bottom Girl" is still unstoppable, accumulating more than NT$43 million in box office in two days, ranking first in Taiwan's box office rankings, and opening a new chapter for mainland movies.

The news that "The Hottest Girl" swept the film markets in the three places across the Taiwan Strait and Taiwan has once again become the focus of media reports.

""Bottom Hot Girls" broke records like crazy, and its appeal is eye-popping..."

"The hot girl storm has set off in the mountains and rivers, raging on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places. Yang Mi dominates the young aesthetics and wears school uniforms with a unique style..."

"Amazing box office records, incredible influence from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and a mountain and river effect in the Chinese film market..."

…

In just two days, Yang Mi's status and popularity were close to that of Liu Yifei of the same age. Her image of her school uniform and short skirt was all over the Internet and newspapers and magazines, making her the most unique and recognizable actress in the eyes of teenagers!

Liu Ye has also established his leading position among young Chinese actors, and mainland actors have begun their journey to counterattack Hong Kong and Taiwan stars!

There is a lot of joy inside Chuhe Film and Television. The next two days are weekends. If this box office trend is followed, the box office of "Bottom Hot Girl" may exceed 100 million in the first four days.

This greatly exceeded the company's expectations!

"Don't relax, everyone. Promotional resources will continue to be invested and distributed as planned. We have all underestimated the influence of the boss!" Zhong Lifang said excitedly at the meeting of the Marketing and Distribution Department.

"Mr. Zhong, the boss's movie-watching and book club has been very effective. The public is very curious about this form of road show, and the attention is particularly high. Also, the peripheral products designed by the boss are extremely popular. Should we also include peripheral products?" Let's do it?"

Zhong Lifeng pondered for a while, "The boss is just a special case. There is currently no environment for manufacturing peripheral products in China, and we at Chuhe Film and Television do not have channels for this. Blindly entering this field will be counterproductive. We still have to lay a solid foundation first. In addition to the release promotion of "Bottom Hot Girl", Xiao Li, you have to find out the situation of Golden Harvest Pictures clearly for me. Our first priority this year and next is to capture Golden Harvest Pictures!"

"Understood!"

Zhong Lifeng nodded and continued to ask: "How is the road show going with Yang Mi and Liu Ye?"

"The road show in Beijing is very effective, especially Yang Mi. Her popularity among teenagers is astonishing. Tomorrow they will leave for Shencheng, Yangcheng and other southern cities to do road shows. The company has already arranged the entire itinerary!"

Zhong Lifeng clapped her hands after hearing this, "Everyone, please work harder. Pay close attention to promotional materials, online guidance and media communications. This time we will directly push the boss to the top of the Chinese film industry!"

"Understood!"

"A little excited!"

"The boss is a bit scary. Breaking the record is as easy as drinking water!"

…

Twenty-five million six hundred thousand, twenty-three million seven hundred thousand!

The box office of "Bottom Girl" exceeded the milestone of 25 million on Saturday, but fell back on Sunday. The box office on the first four and four days exceeded 90 million, and it is not far away from breaking 100 million!

Although the first-week box office of "Bottom Girl" did not exceed 100 million, it still broke the domestic first-week box office held by "Heroes".

At this time, the coverage of "Bottom Hot Girl" by both online and real-life media has reached a new level.

All the characters and events related to "Bottom Hot Girls" have been widely commented and praised by the media!

Not only did Pan Hong and Jiang Wen receive praise, but poor Hu Ge, who had a small role, also received praise!

Sales of the novel "Bottom Hotties" have also returned to the bestseller list.

All topics about "Bottom Hot Girls" naturally bring traffic and attention.

Reviews of "Bottom Girl" have also been published online and in newspapers.

Critics' reviews of "Bottom Girl" were extremely polarizing.

Some people think that Shanhe's first directing was relatively successful. The film is very complete, the plot is smooth, and the sense of substitution is strong. Although it has some minor flaws, it is still a highly watchable commercial film.

The other part is the accusation that iron cannot become steel. They believe that the entire movie is indulged in blind optimism and inspiration. It is not only superficial but has no connotation, and lacks plot tension. They strongly criticized Shanhe's creative thinking and pointed out that Shanhe If you fall into the trap of fame and fortune, if you don't get out of it, your aura and talent will be smoothed away by the world!

In fact, the influence of film critics in China is not great. For the public, they are always scratching the surface, not in the same place, or even on the same channel.

But there are exceptions to everything. A film review article signed by Zhang Yaxuan just triggered a fierce debate surrounding Shanhe and "Bottom Hot Girl".

This article titled "This is not a movie review!" was first published on Time.com.

"I watched Shanhe's "Bottom Hot Girl" today, and I felt inexplicably complicated. Let me write something, not a movie review, just my thoughts!

No one will deny Shan He's genius. A young man who wrote "We Are Young People" at the age of fifteen or sixteen is beyond amazing. When I finished reading "We Are Young People", I even had doubts about Shan He's creation. How young people write about the dark side of school and society in such a touching and reflective way.

Shanhe's creations in the following years are still outstanding, but it seems that he has no special persistence in literature and art. He can write profound works such as "Parasite" and "Under the Zhengyang Gate", and even "The Cliff" with the main theme can The writing is profound but readable, but he also writes boring fairy tale-like stories such as "The Martian" and "Bottom Hot Girl" just to please the public.

Now he has become a director, and then he made a commercial fast food with no artistic value. The author cannot understand his choice. What made him give up such an outstanding talent..."

As soon as this article was published on Time.com, it was immediately criticized by Shanhe fans.

"What's wrong with "Bottom Hot Girls"? What's wrong with commercial movies? They're always more touching than frivolous literary films..."

"This author is really a bastard. Shanhe writes novels and makes movies and you still have to admit it. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Isn't it interesting to talk about these boring sluts?"

"This guy has been fooled by the Sixth Generation. There is a whole generation of the Sixth Generation making literary and artistic films, but there is still a shortage of mountains and rivers? The mountains and rivers should be left to us lower-class people..."

…

In fact, this is just a common way to vent each other's anger on the Internet, but this Zhang Yaxuan is not simple. She is one of the famous "Seven Gentlemen" of the sixth generation.

Although he is not a director, his relationship with sixth-generation directors is extraordinary.

Seeing that Zhang Yaxuan was besieged by Shanhe's book fans, the sixth-generation director who had originally dismissed "The Hot Girl at the Bottom" went shirtless!

"Without art and reflection, a movie will still be a bad movie no matter how high the box office is..."

"Film schools teach art, not industrial goods..."

"China's mainstream movies have been forced into a desperate situation. If movie directors only try to please the public, then do movies still need to exist..."

…

As a result, a dispute over movie concepts triggered by "Bottom Hot Girl" gradually spread.

The two sides became more and more noisy, and heavyweight supporters continued to express their views. From the film review website to the online media, and even real-life media reported the views of both sides!

Shanhe himself was also interviewed during the promotion of the film.

"Shanhe, do you know about the controversy caused by "The Last Hot Girl" on the Internet? What do you think about the judgment of mainstream movies?"

Shanhe smiled slightly, "I don't have any opinion. I just make movies according to my heart. In my heart, art and business are not contradictory. It's just that I think you have to eat before talking about art. It's very difficult to talk about art when you're hungry." Silly, no one wants to listen!”

Shanhe was also concerned about the controversy over the creative concept. In fact, the Sixth Generation had already accepted the film bureau's recruitment at this time.

However, due to long-term personal creation, the sixth generation directors have certain deficiencies in their grasp of audience psychology and commercial film production methods.

Every attempt failed, and there was even an embarrassing scene of zero box office!

They're caught between a dilemma and it seems like their approach isn't working!

The tough talk is just to cover up their overall failure. Their era has slowly passed!

Shanhe did not continue to pay attention to this boring debate. He was about to fly to Shanghai to start the off-site promotion of the movie watching book club.

Although the first week of "Bottom Hot Girl" has achieved great success at the box office, the final height it will reach depends on the box office trend in the second week. Chuhe Film and Television's promotion has not relaxed yet!

Within half a month, Shanhe will continue to hold dozens of movie watching book clubs in Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Chengdu.

Magic City was only the second stop. As soon as Shanhe came out of the passage, he saw Qiu Chuxi jumping in front of the airport pick-up gate and Qiu Jiang behind him.

As soon as he reunited with his father and sister, Shanhe exchanged a few words with the staff of Chuhe Film and Television, and then followed his father and walked to the airport parking lot on the arm of his sister.

"Brother, why didn't Master and Master come back with you? How is Doudou? I miss them all!" Qiu Chuxi asked her brother, pulling her.

Shanhe turned to look at the big girl who had grown taller again and replied: "Master, Master, Master, and the others will return to the Magic City in two days, and Doudou's quarantine certificate hasn't come out yet! Xixi, how did you do in the final exam?" "

"Your sister did okay in the exam, but she was poor in the old Chinese language. It was mainly the composition that held her back. It would be great if you give her some of your talent!" Qiu Jiang answered for his daughter from the side.

"Brother, you asked about your grades as soon as you came here. I can't trust your sister!" Qiu Chuxi said with a proud face, "Who am I? I am the prototype of Lou Xiaoyun in "Bottom Hot Girl"!"

"Haha..." Qiu Jiang pushed the luggage cart and said to Shanhe with a smile, "Don't tell me, the Yang Mi played in the movie really looks a bit like your sister!"

"Can't it be different? When I wrote the script, I watched Qiu Chuxi write it, and she also gave a lot of opinions!" Shanhe replied with a smile.

The father and daughter came to the parking lot chatting and laughing, loaded their luggage into the car, and drove towards the Magic City home.

As soon as Qiu Chuxi got in the car, she leaned next to her brother and asked, "Brother, I owe the success of "Bottom Hot Girl", right?"

Shanhe looked back at his sister and asked, "What do you want again? I heard that you are now the big boss among the three girls in the city, what else are you missing?"

"Brother, aren't you here to hold a movie book club this time? Give me some tickets!" Qiu Chuxi replied.

"Okay! How many do you want?"

"As much as you want!" Qiu Chuxi waved her little hand in an imposing manner.

Shanhe stared at her and asked, "You don't want to sell it, do you? That's not okay!"

"I don't plan to sell!" Qiu Chuxi shook her head and replied, "It's just that many people are buying goods from me, and I'm not allowed to provide any benefits!"

Shanhe covered his forehead and turned to Qiu Jiang and asked, "Dad, how much money did she earn?"

"I didn't know! But it's indispensable. Two days ago, you bought me two bottles of good tea and a whole set of cosmetics for your mother!"

"Brother, don't worry, I bought you a gift too!"

…

As a result, Shanhe's book club in Shanghai became a sales benefit for Qiu Chuxi, and she could be seen bringing joy to different little sisters in every session.

As the Shanhe Magic City Book Club continues, the box office of "Bottom Hot Girl" is still increasing.

On the first day of the second week, the box office dropped slightly, but still remained above 20 million.

Breaking 100 million in five days, "Bottom Hot Girls" broke the record for the fastest to break 100 million.

On the second day of the second week, the box office dropped below 20 million, over 18 million!

On the third day, sixteen million!

After the popularity of "Bottom Girl" among book fans and students, the box office began to decline.

But the data is still terrifying, with the cumulative box office for the entire week and seven days approaching 150 million!

Once this data was announced, it immediately became the focus of media reports again.

Can "Bottom Girl" break the domestic film box office record of "Hero"? Even breaking the Chinese movie box office record of "Titanic"?

These two topics have become the center of discussion in the media, and have also become a hot topic in entertainment circles and public gossip recently.

"Can a hot girl pass the hero level? Zhang Yimou may be counterattacked by Beijing Film Academy's juniors..."

"The hot girl wants to sink the Titanic. What she encounters this time is not an iceberg, but a fiery youth..."

"After dominating China's publishing market, Shanhe has reached out to the film market. We are all witnessing the birth of a cultural giant..."

…

Shanhe didn't take these media's exaggerated praises to heart, and he was not too optimistic about the subsequent box office of "Bottom Hot Girl".

"Bottom Hot Girl" has fallen to 8.3 points in the film reviews of Time.com and Douban, and the audience's evaluations have begun to become more rational. There are many praises, but there are also many criticisms!

After all, "Bottom Hot Girl" is just a normal commercial movie, and it is also Shanhe's debut film. It will inevitably have various flaws.

Furthermore, Shanhe's own experience and experience are not enough to form his own film style. In Shanhe's opinion, "The Hot Girl at the Bottom" was only a passing film, and it just told the story smoothly, without characteristics, and it was a slightly mediocre film!

The biggest highlight lies in the actors. Yang Mi’s appearance and true character really add a lot of luster to the movie, and the other two inspirational songs also add points.

What Zhang Yimou said at the premiere of Beijing Film Academy was very pertinent. Shanhe still needs accumulation and hard work to be a successful director!

As expected, on the eighth day of the release of "The Hottest Girl", the box office began to drop rapidly, reaching 13 million, then 12 million. By the end of the second week, the daily box office of "The Hottest Girl" in China was The box office has dropped below 10 million.

The box office accumulated in two weeks was RMB 1.9 billion, almost exceeding RMB 200 million!

Two weeks later, pirated discs began to appear, and the consumer base of book fans and students had been basically exhausted. "Bottom Hot Girls" seemed to have lost its potential to continue to rise.

The media have begun to disapprove of "Bottom Girl". The total box office, let alone breaking the Chinese box office record of "Titanic" of 360 million, is not even close to the 280 million of "Heroes"!

The final box office was between 230 million and 250 million!

It stands to reason that this result is already a godsend for a rookie who has just graduated.

But the box office of "Bottom Girl" in its first week was so eye-popping. The media's expectations for its box office were too high. All of a sudden, their hopes were shattered too quickly. The contrast was too great!

As a result, all kinds of gossip began to appear on the Internet and in reality.

"Mountains and rivers are defeated like mountains, and "Bottom Hot Girl" lacks stamina..."

""Bottom Hot Girls" was a bad movie to begin with. If you are no longer a fan of Shan He, you should immediately return to its original form!"

"I'm just a recent Beijing Film and Television student. He's been praised so much by the media that he can write novels, but that doesn't mean he can make movies!"

…

Shanhe ignored these gossips and continued to fulfill his promise to book fans.

During this period, I received comfort and support from many book fans. Shanhe was very moved by their warm words!

One week later than in China, "Bottom Hot Girl" was released in Neon and Bangkok on July 14th.

Neon's cooperative distribution company is Toho Co., Ltd., Japan's largest film distributor, and Bangguo's cooperative company Lotte Pictures is also a domestic distribution giant.

The two film distribution companies started the promotion and distribution plan of "Bottom Girl" a month ago.

In particular, Toho Co., Ltd. is very optimistic about "Bottom Hot Girl".

In the entire publicity plan, Shanhe is the only core. Even the posters posted in the cinema have Shanhe's smiling face printed on them, with the words "The Great Demon King of China's Strongest Novel!" and "The Strongest on Earth" written on the side. "Boy", "The Prince Who Conquered Hollywood" and other secondary slogans!

Shanhe's popularity in Neon is not low. Every book sold in Neon has a lot of sales, especially "Bottom Hot Girl".

In addition, Neon is greatly influenced by Country M. Every time Shanhe’s works are popular in Hollywood, Neon will report them extensively in China.

Films adapted from Shanhe frequently dominate the box office rankings at Neon's box office.

As a result, Shanhe has many book fans and fans in Neon. Because Shanhe's delicate face is very suitable for the aesthetics of Neon people, he has many fans among little girls.

As soon as "Bottom Hot Girl" was released, neon book fans and fans also occupied the cinema. Yang Mi's image and performance in the movie quickly impressed these people.

The original work of "Bottom Hot Girl" is a true story of Neon. Although it has been adapted by Shanhe, the movie is still very appetizing to Neon audiences.

On its first day of release, it mobilized nearly 50,000 viewers, and the box office exceeded 80 million yen. It also defeated "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" to top the single-day box office rankings.

The reputation was better than that in China. Toho Co., Ltd. immediately began to increase investment in publicity, and theaters began to tilt their film schedules towards "Bottom Hot Girl".

In the three days of its first weekend, "Bottom Girl" unexpectedly mobilized nearly 180,000 viewers at Neon, and topped the weekly box office rankings with a box office of 280 million yen!

And it has an excellent reputation. Yang Mi's school uniform short skirt has caught the hearts of neon girls and quickly became popular on the neon campus.

Coincidentally, "Bottom Girl" also performed well in the country. Although it did not dominate the charts like Neon, it still mobilized nearly 100,000 viewers and ranked at the top of the box office rankings.

The news that "Bottom Girl" broke out at the box office in Neon and Bang countries was first reported by several online portals.

This news was posted on the gossip message boards by Shanhe book fans that day, and spread all over the Internet, triggering heated discussions throughout the Internet!

"This is called a huge defeat! Let me see if you lose one of your troops..."

"What's wrong with just graduating? They're still killing all over Asia. They're a bunch of villains who just take advantage of the situation..."

"I'm convinced that even a box office of 200 million yuan will be criticized by you guys, and now it's also a hit abroad, so keep going!"

"I can accept that the filming of "Bottom Girl" was just average, but it's not okay to tell lies with your eyes wide open and just talk about rubbish and bad movies..."

…

The offline media quickly got the news. The media didn't care about face. It was the consistent style of the media to react to the wind and rain.

As a result, the next day, the headlines of various media began to publish reports that "Bottom Hot Girl" was famous abroad and topped the Neon box office rankings.

"Mountains and rivers dominate Asia, and a craze for hot girls breaks out in the Neon Stick Country..."

""Bottom Girl" crossed national borders and dominated the neon movie market, grossing 280 million in three days over the weekend..."

""Bottom Hot Girl" leads neon fashion, and Yang Mi is crowned an international actress..."

"Liu Ye became famous for the second time, and the influence of "Bottom Hot Girl" was overwhelming..."

…

The media's adaptability made the public stunned. It turns out that this is the entertainment industry. It slapped itself so happily without any hesitation. It was so shameless!

It is precisely this dramatic change of face that made "Bottom Hot Girl" become popular again.

The public has regained their curiosity about this movie, and the box office of "Bottom Girl" returned to over 10 million that day!

"Bottom Girl" exceeded the RMB 200 million mark on its twelfth day of release!

Suddenly the tide began to turn, and the record-breaking voices began to shout again!

The big guys in the film and television industry covered their faces and laughed, why is Shanhe always able to do something?

When Shanhe returned to the capital after completing the Chengdu Book Club, the third week of domestic release of "Bottom Hot Girl" had come to an end.

Yu Zhengchong and his wife had returned to the Magic City with their Labrador Doudou, and Shan He was the only one left in the courtyard.

Shanhe was sitting under the long-lost grape trellis, drinking tea leisurely. Yangliu on the side was holding a box office report in his hand to report the domestic and international box office of "Bottom Hot Girl" to Shanhe.

"As of today, "Bottom Girl" has been released in China for three weeks. In the third week, the box office was 58 million. The total domestic box office is 248 million. The cumulative box office in Hong Kong and Taiwan is 35 million. The cumulative box office is NT$150 million. Neon has been in theaters for two weeks and has a cumulative box office of 890 million yen. The cumulative box office of Bangguo is about US$4 million! Boss, you succeeded. The first movie has fully blossomed! "

Shanhe nodded and said: "Such results are beyond my expectation. What I care about most is word of mouth. Looking back now, I was a little more casual when filming "Bottom Hot Girl"!"

Yang Liu responded with a smile: "My boss, you have too high demands on yourself. After all, "Bottom Hot Girl" is your first drama. It has a good reputation in China. Neon's reputation is better than that in China. As for the former The gossips that have been going on for a period of time are within the normal range. "Heroes" was still scolded so much at the beginning. Isn't that what these media are like?

Shanhe took a sip of tea and responded: "I don't care about those media reports. What I care about is the public's opinion. It's not my style to lower my requirements for myself! Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I want to rest now." "Signal" is still waiting for me to finish it in a few days!"

Yang Liu glanced at Shanhe and said: "The domestic box office of "The Hottest Girl" is still rising. There is little hope of breaking 300 million, but there is still hope of breaking the domestic movie box office record of "Hero". Neon and Bangguo's The box office curve is even on the rise, boss, "Bottom Girl" isn't over yet, so don't think about letting it go!"

"I haven't finished my schedule, what else do you need me to do?" Shanhe asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Mr. Zhong hopes that you will take Liu Ye and Yang Mi to Neon. "Bottom Hot Girl" has a huge reputation in Neon. Toho Co., Ltd. hopes that we can cooperate with the promotion. Your popularity in Neon is extraordinary!" Yang Liu smiled replied.

After hearing this, Shan He looked at Yang Liu in surprise and said with a wry smile: "So I still have to go to Neon. Sister Zhong can really squeeze me!"

"Look what you said! Why don't you just go on a trip in front of me!"
