I really didn’t want to be a warm man when I was reborn

The summer season has started in June. On June 18th and July 2nd, "Hello, Stranger" and "The Witch" were released successively.

The summer season comes from the United States. In the early days, domestic films only focused on the Lunar New Year season. Because of the time period and audience size of the summer season, it must be matched by a mature film market.

Therefore, for many years, summer vacations have been mostly dominated by Hollywood blockbusters, and other Chinese-language films have generally taken a proactive attitude during this period.

It was not until 2009 that the mainland film market had a summer season for the first time, and it grossed 1.73 billion in box office in 13 weeks.

From the perspective of future generations, the box office of 1.73 billion is not much, but the total domestic box office in 2009 was only 6.22 billion. The 1.73 billion already accounted for 28% of the total box office for the year, and also broke the 1.545 billion box office set during the Lunar New Year period. It became the golden period with the highest box office revenue for movies.

The popularity of last year's summer movie season has also made this year's movie summer particularly lively. There are a total of forty or fifty movies competing for the summer movie slot. It can be said that there are sufficient numbers, rich types, and a lot of bad movies.

"Chun Jiao and Zhiming", "Kung Fu Dream", "Battle of Shama Town", "Xi Travels", "My Beautiful Boss", "Love Announcement", "Dragon Phoenix Shop" and many other big bad movies, one There is none that can be beaten.

No, there is still a good "Luanzhou Earthquake".

"The Great Luanzhou Earthquake" can be said to be the turning point between Feng Gangpao's prosperity and decline. The film took in a box office of 673 million, setting a box office record for domestic films at the time. However, he began to decline after that. , the era of Feng's movies has also passed.

Li Zhe put "The Witch" on July 2 to avoid "The Great Luanzhou Earthquake".

It's not that he is afraid of the other party, but the current scale of the domestic film market cannot accommodate the collision of two blockbusters. Doing so will only hurt both parties.

"The Witch" was produced and announced for RMB 70-80 million. It is Quku Entertainment's first quasi-blockbuster, and there is no room for error.

Li Zhe had previously expected to shoot "The Witch" for RMB 30 to 40 million, but after the filming, the budget was seriously overrun. The special effects were too expensive, even though the special effects of this movie are not many.

The overspending of more than 20 million was unilaterally added by Quku Entertainment.

With an investment of 70 to 80 million, it will take more than 200 million in box office to recover the money.

"Hello, Stranger" had a mediocre box office performance after its release on June 18. It took in a box office of 79 million in one month, but failed to exceed 100 million as Li Zhe expected.

It can only be said that Nini’s ability to resist box office is not strong.

However, with a box office of 79 million, Quku Entertainment also made a lot of money. The total production, promotion and distribution of this small-budget youth road movie was only a little over 20 million, and the promotion and distribution still accounted for the bulk.

This is also the consistent style of Quku Entertainment, which attaches great importance to publicity and distribution. Sometimes the publicity and distribution cost of a movie is higher than the production cost.

"The Witch" was released on July 2. This movie started a mass killing mode as soon as it was released, killing movies such as "The Travels", "Unmanned Driving", and "The King of Guns" without any chance to fight back.

The box office on the first day of release was 30 million. The highest box office in a single day was 50 million. It exceeded 100 million in 3 days, 150 million in 4 days, 200 million in 6 days, nearly 300 million in 7 days, and 400 million in 12 days. The industry was shocked.

Luan Xiaolin does not have much appeal at the box office. She is the first sister of Quku Entertainment. Her representative work is only one "Crazy Lottery". In terms of popularity, she is far less popular than Wang Zhining and Zhao Yuhuan. Even Nini is more popular than her. .

The early success of "The Witch" was all due to the high reputation of Quku Entertainment, just like Feng's movies.

The good reputation that Quku Entertainment has accumulated over the past two years has completely exploded. The audience has high expectations for this super action blockbuster from Quku Entertainment.

Coupled with the bombardment of publicity by Quku Entertainment, many viewers are eagerly awaiting the release of "The Witch".

And the quality of the movie did not disappoint them. The early plot of "The Witch" was a bit bland, but the fights in the middle and later stages were super exciting and exciting, making people's adrenaline soar. The plot twist at the end of the film was also extremely exciting and unexpected.

This "Witch" can be said to be the first of its kind in China to produce super-charged films, letting audiences know that domestic films can also produce special effects blockbusters that are not inferior to those of Hollywood.

The audience enjoyed watching the show, and it was a hit and a success.

Most media and film critics also spoke highly of "The Witch", calling it a domestic special effects blockbuster comparable to Hollywood.

Seeing that the movie was a hit, Li Zhe once again spent more than 20 million to increase publicity and fuel the box office.

21 days after its release, the box office of "The Witch" reached 570 million, and it was about to exceed 600 million. At this time, "The Great Luanzhou Earthquake" was released.

"The Great Luanzhou Earthquake" took in 36 million at the box office on its first day of release. The original daily box office of "The Witch" dropped to 60 to 7 million. Due to the impact, the box office was directly cut in half, and it was not even sure that it would break 600 million.

However, it was not only "The Great Luanzhou Earthquake" that affected the box office of "The Witch", but "The Great Luanzhou Earthquake" was even more affected.

The potential of the box office market is limited. "The Witch" was released first and consumed the audience's enthusiasm in advance. The box office of "Luanzhou Earthquake" will naturally be greatly affected.

Therefore, "Luanzhou Earthquake" barely managed to win 500 million votes in the end. Fahrenheit should have bought some box office, which prevented Feng Gangpao's 500 million box office boast from being slapped in the face.

Feng Gangpao was so angry that he directly attacked Quku Entertainment, saying that some capital acted recklessly just because they had money.

Li Zhe ignored Feng Gangpao and talked to him in his capacity, which was a bargain.

Luan Xiaolin, on the other hand, bluntly posted on Weibo, "Is this a great director who just messes around when his skills are inferior to others? I have learned so much!"

Other actresses may be worried that the other person is a senior or a big director, but she doesn't care at all.

Luan Xiaolin's words caused a stir in the industry, and many people were shocked. This was too strong!

Feng Gangpao was even more furious. He, a great director, was bullied to the point of being bullied by a young actress. He directly announced that Luan Xiaolin would be banned.

However, this ban is just like a joke.

Luan Xiaolin is backed by Qudong Group, who in the industry dares to ban her? To block her would be to offend Qudong Group.

If Fahrenheit only unilaterally blocks it, what’s the use?

"The Witch" was released on August 2, and the box office revenue exceeded 600 million.

In fact, the final box office was only over 590 million, and Quku Entertainment bought 3 to 4 million.

Buying box office and falsely reporting box office in China are routine operations because everyone is doing it.

Of course, if you go too far and someone exposes you, it will be a scandal.

The box office of two movies, "Unfortunate Journey" and "The Witch", exceeded 600 million within one year, which brought Quku Entertainment's popularity to the extreme. It also faintly replaced Fahrenheit in the hearts of the audience, becoming the most powerful private film and television company in China. company.

Companies such as China Film and Guangxian that participated in the investment in "The Witch" are also extremely happy.

In particular, Guangsheng is now in a critical period of listing. "The Witch" has been a box office hit, which has increased the company's valuation.

And Luan Xiaolin became famous with "The Witch", rising directly from outside the third tier to a near first-tier position.

In 2010, the movie box office exceeded 600 million, which is equivalent to the box office of 40 to 5 billion ten years later. The influence can be imagined.

In 2010, the domestic box office market was only 10 billion, but in 2018 it exceeded 60 billion.

Not to mention that "The Witch" is a rare special effects blockbuster with a female protagonist. The entire movie is almost a one-man show by Luan Xiaolin.

By the time "Running Man" starts airing, and with the support of her popularity, her first-line position will be basically stable.

I don’t know how many female artists are envious and jealous of Luan Xiaolin, even Liu Yufei, Yang Function, Zhao Yuhuan, and Nini are the same.

"The Witch" is such a good resource, anyone who gets it can become famous.

It’s not the people who make the play, it’s the play that makes the person.

Luan Xiaolin also felt like she was in a dream about becoming famous. She had seen Wang Zhining, Zhao Yuhuan, and Nini becoming popular one by one. It was impossible for her to say that she was not in a hurry at all.

Now she has finally become famous, and she has jumped to the front line, completely overshadowing Wang Zhining, Zhao Yuhuan and others, and has become a veritable top sister in the company.

This also made Luan Xiaolin extremely grateful to Li Zhe. She had no way of repaying her kindness and could only repay it with her own body.

She and Li Zhe fooled around all night, being extremely enthusiastic, obedient, and doing whatever they asked for.

…

At the end of June, both Xiao Qiao and Liu Kaiyue returned to Hongcheng to take the final exam, which lasted more than 10 days.

This was also the last time they took the school's official exam.

By the time you reach your senior year, there are basically no classes. The school will only arrange a small number of employment-related courses, but you can take them or not. The most important thing is to take the professional certificate exam, internship and job search.

As long as you can find a job, don't hold back the school's employment rate.

By the beginning of July, Shen Xinyi also returned to school.

However, she didn't come here to take an exam, but to get her diploma.

She is a junior college graduate and will graduate this year.

…

On July 9th, the wind was gentle and the sun was just right.

The campus of the Normal College is full of students taking graduation photos. In front of the dormitory building, beside the artificial lake, under the school motto monument, etc., any memorable location has become the filming location for the graduates.

Xiao Qiao walked out of the teaching building with Bai Wei, Zhang Qiong, and Zhang You carrying a small schoolbag.

They had just finished the last exam of the semester.

Xiao Qiao said a little worriedly: "I feel like I'm not doing well in this exam. I wonder if I will fail?"

She focused all her energy on preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination and did not do much exam review.

Zhang You couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly after hearing this.

Failed? With Li Zhe's face, which teacher would let you fail a class?

Even if you don't come to the exam, you probably won't fail.

However, she has two or three courses and needs to take make-up exams.

Zhang You wasn't interested in studying to begin with, and after becoming a host, he became even less interested.

If she hadn't been able to give gifts to smoothen relationships, she would have passed more than two or three courses, and she probably wouldn't have even gotten a degree certificate.

Zhang Qiong looked at the graduates in bachelor's uniforms taking photos not far away, and said with some sigh: "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, junior year is over, and we will graduate next year."

Liu Li and Shen Man also expressed sighs, "Yes, time flies so fast!"

…

In front of the library, Shen Xinyi and three or four girls were taking graduation photos.

Although Shen Xinyi and the others also rented bachelor's uniforms, it was just for taking pictures.

They junior college students do not have a degree and cannot participate in the ear plucking ceremony like undergraduate students.

A girl noticed that Shen Xinyi was looking in the direction of the teaching building and couldn't help but ask: "My dear, what are you looking at?"

Shen Xin looked away, smiled and said, "Nothing, let's continue taking pictures!"

After taking seven or eight photos, Shen Xinyi and the others left the library and walked toward the north gate of the school, preparing to take a few more photos at the gate.

They walked and talked.

"Time flies so fast, we graduated in a blink of an eye."

"I still remember that during the military training in my freshman year, when my dear aunt encountered Li Zhe and was sent back to the dormitory, it seems like it happened yesterday."

"It seems that Li Zhe had not started his own business at that time, but now he is already a billionaire, and we still have to worry about finding a job after graduation. There is really no comparison between people."

"It's better to be a good boy and have a good boyfriend like Li Zhe."

At this point, they all focused on Shen Xinyi.

Zhou Ziyu has transferred to another school for two years. As batches of old students graduate and new students enter, the uproarious incident between two women fighting for husbands has long been forgotten by people.

Even many freshmen and sophomores don't know the existence of Zhou Ziyu, let alone Shen Xinyi, who has always been very low-key.

However, as Shen Xinyi's roommates, the girls were very aware of what happened between Shen Xinyi and Li Zhe.

Last year they all went to Qudong Group for internships.

…

At the Aviation Academy near the Normal University, Ye Shan and several classmates were also taking graduation photos.

Ye Shan was one of the first batch of 36 game promoters of Quwan Technology. She was very at odds with Luan Xiaolin and even questioned Li Zhe as a liar.

But she has witnessed Qudong Company step by step from a small company to a large entertainment group with multiple subsidiaries and a market value of billions.

I have also witnessed with my own eyes that Luan Xiaolin has gradually become a star from a young actor. Recently, she has become a star.

Ye Shan worked as a game promoter and actor, and later switched to making short videos.

But she has been around for so long, but she has never been able to get ahead. Up to now, she is only a small anchor with hundreds of thousands of fans, worse than Zhang You.

Zhang You is at least willing to take risks, and he also has the skills to win over his eldest brother.

Ye Shan couldn't stand up and didn't say anything. She still had a bad temper. Occasionally she would offend a big brother and run away.

Looking at Luan Xiaolin not far away, who was surrounded by her classmates like stars holding the moon, a girl next to Ye Shan sighed with envy: "I never thought that our school could produce a big star."

In the past two years, Luan Xiaolin can be said to be the most famous figure in this vocational college, and an ordinary junior college student has turned into a star.

And after the recent release of "The Witch" became a hit, even ordinary people realized that Luan Xiaolin was going to be famous and really going to become a big star.

The school even listed her as a famous alumni in advance.

For an ordinary vocational school, a popular star is considered a representative and well-known alumni.

This time Luan Xiaolin returned to school to attend the graduation ceremony and received her diploma. Her classmates and teachers took her for photos.

Having a big star classmate or student is a very honorable thing to tell people about.

Ye Shan also glanced in the direction of Luan Xiaolin and said in a mocking tone: "If Li Zhe hadn't been born in the Normal College next door, our school wouldn't have had the chance to produce such a big star."

What big star? Luan Xiaolin just relied on seducing Li Zhe to sleep with her.

She was filled with unwillingness and jealousy.
