Chapter 29: The Astounding Midnight Screening Box Office
The next morning.
When Gu Qingshan woke up, Jing Tian's arms were wrapped around him, and she was sleeping soundly.
Last night, they drank to liven things up, and the two of them fought until very late before finally calling it a night.
He got up quietly, washed up, opened his laptop, and went to his email.
There is already a new email in my inbox.
Gu Qingshan glanced at the box office and saw that the midnight screenings (including the premiere screenings) had grossed 53 yuan.
Upon seeing this number, Gu Qingshan's lips curled into a slight smile; he was quite satisfied with it.
It's worth noting that midnight screenings don't usually generate high box office revenue these days. Last year, the highest midnight screening box office was for "Transformers," which reached 100 million.
Other films, such as "Curse of the Golden Flower" grossed over 900,000 yuan in its midnight screenings, and "The Warlords" and "Assembly" grossed over 800,000 yuan in their midnight screenings.
Of course, there are now 570 more movie screens nationwide than when "Curse of the Golden Flower" was made.
Upon opening the website, one finds various reports and film reviews, with audience members who attended the premiere and those who watched the midnight screening leaving their comments.
"What is love in this world? — Everything has its counter. Huang Xiaoxian's case tells us: taking yourself too seriously in love will only lead to suffering!"
"A very good movie, I recommend everyone to watch it."
"I love the song 'Because of Love' so much. Last night at the premiere, Faye Wong and Eason Chan sang it live."
"There are too many Huang Xiaoxians waiting for Wang Xiaojian in life."
"I also wish I had a male best friend like Wang Xiaojian."
"Where can we find a Wang Xiaojian?"
"I cried when I saw the scene where Huang Xiaoxian chased the car. It touched me so much. What is 33 days? I've been heartbroken for over 1000 days, but I've still managed to live a carefree life."
Heartbreak happens every day, and everyone deals with it so differently. If you love, be passionate. If you don't love, be strong. It's so hard!
"I think I need a male best friend like Wang Xiaojian."
"I watched it with her, but I was thinking about someone else who was completely unrelated to me."
"I still remember when he broke up with me last year. Now that I think about it, to borrow a line from a movie, breaking up isn't necessarily a bad thing; it might be a rebirth. I need to see if there's another Wang Xiaojian in my life."
Looking at the film reviews, Gu Qingshan's lips curled into a slight smile. It seemed like this time he had it all figured out.
Gu Qingshan went to the bed. The feeling of having a beauty in his arms was wonderful, and he could even take a nap.
......
Outsiders and media reporters obtained the midnight screening box office figures for "Love is Not Blind" and "CJ7" and reported on them extensively.
"Another blockbuster hit is coming for the Lunar New Year season! Following the fierce competition between 'The Warlords' and 'Assembly,' Stephen Chow's new film 'CJ7' and up-and-coming director Gu Qingshan's new film 'Love is Not Blind' raked in 600,000 and 530,000 yuan respectively at midnight screenings. The two giants are locked in a showdown!"
"The Lunar New Year film season isn't just about the two blockbusters, 'The Warlords' and 'Assembly,' but also includes 'CJ7' and 'Love is Not Blind.'"
"The most exciting Lunar New Year film season in history, starting with 'The Warlords' and 'Assembly,' followed by 'CJ7' and 'Love is Not Blind'."
News releases appeared one after another like snowflakes, continuously reporting on the events.
At this time, students were already on winter break, and most working people were also on holiday, so audiences were drawn into the movie theater.
In this situation, long queues for tickets once again appeared at cinemas.
It's worth noting that the last time this happened was during the release of films like "Assembly" and "The Warlords." After New Year's Day, the off-season begins, and cinemas are nearly empty even on weekends.
At that time, the film market did not have the concept of a Spring Festival film season; instead, it was all referred to as the Lunar New Year film season, which lasted for three months, from December to February.
The release of two movies this year, "CJ7" and "Love is Not Blind," has made movie tickets easier to sell.
Cinema managers across the country grinned as they saw the long queues.
For movie theaters, box office revenue is only part of the revenue; non-ticket revenue from items like cola and popcorn is even more substantial.
On January 30th, Gu Qingshan and his crew visited four cinemas in Beijing.
Once back in his hotel room, Jing Tian collapsed onto the bed.
"I'm so tired, so very tired!" Jing Tian closed his eyes.
Gu Qingshan took off his coat and sat on Jing Tian's lap. "Come on, let me give you a massage."
"You scoundrel, are you planning to do something bad again?" Jing Tian asked warily.
Gu Qingshan shamelessly said, "Working together with a man makes the work easier."
"I'll give you a massage to relieve your fatigue." Gu Qingshan lowered his head and gently bit Jing Tian's earlobe.
Jing Tian's body went limp, and he was powerless to resist.
After Gu Qingshan finished pressing down with his demonic claws, Jing Tian was completely exhausted.
Gu Qingshan always carried her to take a bath.
As soon as he lay down on the bed, Jing Tian fell into a deep sleep.
Gu Qingshan drank a bottle of water, not worried about hurting his body. They were all young and their bodies had amazing recovery abilities.
Running to four movie theaters is tiring, not because of physical exhaustion, but because celebrities have to maintain their best image. Otherwise, if they are photographed by the media, they will immediately be the subject of all sorts of scandals.
I opened my laptop and looked at the news. All the related news these days is about "CJ7" and "Love is Not Blind".
"Stephen Chow's box office appeal is truly astonishing; no wonder he's ostracized by the Hong Kong entertainment circle," Gu Qingshan thought to himself.
Where there are people, there are grudges; where there are grudges, there is the martial world.
The entertainment industry is no exception.
The reason why Stephen Chow is disliked and unpopular in Hong Kong is that he refuses to conform to the trend of many Hong Kong filmmakers moving north to the mainland.
Other Hong Kong filmmakers use Hong Kong actresses as leading ladies, or at the very least, Taiwanese actresses.
But look at Stephen Chow. The female lead in "Shaolin Soccer" was Little Swallow, and the female lead in "Kung Fu Hustle" was newcomer Huang Shengyi. He directly made Huang Shengyi famous, making her one of the four little actresses in mainland China.
This year's "CJ7" also features mainland newcomer Zhang Yuqi, who is now rapidly rising to fame.
This naturally caused resentment within the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Looking at other news, it seems the beginning of the year has been somewhat unlucky, as if it foreshadowed something.
Southern China is experiencing severe snow disasters. A cold wave with a wide impact has swept across 21 provinces, including Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Anhui, bringing biting winds, heavy snowfall, and freezing temperatures.
On the roads, snow piled up, making it difficult to move; at the station, traffic was blocked, and passengers were stranded; in the residential areas, houses collapsed, and people were unable to return home; in the mountains, heavy snow surrounded the area, and water and electricity were cut off.
The series of reactions brought about by the disaster caught everyone off guard!
With the Spring Festival approaching, many people are worried about this.
When promoting the campaign, Gu Qingshan and Jing Tian also donated generously, each contributing over two million yuan.
Gu Qingshan sighed softly. This year has truly been a year of many disasters.
It seems that Heaven is testing the great Chinese nation, and in the face of natural disasters, the unity and resilience shown by the Chinese nation are unparalleled in the world.
Just like now, the People's Liberation Army soldiers are mobilized to help local residents combat the worst snowstorm in 50 years. Meanwhile, the local people are proactively cooking hot meals and making ginger tea for the soldiers, demonstrating the unity between the military and the people.
