Chapter 537, "A Trip to Hong Kong," is now available for pre-sale!
"We go home!"
Zhu Yanmanzi changed out of her costume, and her clean face, free of makeup, was like a lotus emerging from clear water.
Su Wanyu had already prepared a meal for the two of them.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhu Yanmanz and Chen Jin went to the balcony.
September weather is undoubtedly the most comfortable.
The sweltering heat of the day has ended, and a gentle breeze brings an unprecedented sense of comfort.
"very nice."
A sudden remark made Chen Jin look at his girlfriend in front of him.
"It's so good to have you here!"
Even though the two meet every day, Zhu Yanmanzi still maintains the habit of saying a sweet word to Zhu Yanmanzi every day.
He teased Chen Jin from time to time, leaving her dizzy and disoriented.
buzzing-
Just as he was about to respond to Zhu Yanmanz, the phone rang at just the right moment.
It is Chen Su.
Not only Chen Jin, but even Zhu Yanmanz knew the significance of this phone call.
A Trip to Hong Kong.
This highly anticipated zombie movie has already started pre-sales.
As for the results?
The answer should be available soon.
He casually pressed the answer button, and Chen Su's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Brother Jin, the first-day pre-sale box office figures for 'Hong Kong Trip' are out."
"1560."
Chen Jin raised an eyebrow and looked down at where Zhu Yanmanz was.
The latter looked puzzled.
In fact, she was also very much looking forward to this result.
They had heard some rumors circulating online recently, claiming that some online trolls were promoting the film "Hong Kong Trip" as being overly depressing and creating a tense and terrifying atmosphere, making it unsuitable for release during the joyous National Day holiday.
To them, it was utter nonsense.
After all, as a well-made zombie disaster film, the scenes are thrilling and exciting, and the pace is fast, which undoubtedly provides a highly efficient viewing experience.
Furthermore.
The family-friendly genre, which has been the norm for a long time, can no longer satisfy everyone's viewing needs.
In Zhu Yanmanz's view, the market needs a variety of supplementary types.
"A Trip to Hong Kong" might be able to fill this market gap.
but--
Zhu Yanmanz could probably guess that the reason for this situation was simply because a tall tree catches the wind.
Too many eyes are on "A Trip to Hong Kong," which is not a friendly situation.
This way.
This, on the contrary, made Zhu Yanmanz somewhat worried.
Will these comments affect the box office record of "Hong Kong Trip"?
Chen Jin breathed a slight sigh of relief.
This result is enough to prove that the news on the Internet did not affect their film, and they achieved a good start.
For a low-budget film to achieve 1500 million yuan in pre-sales on its opening day is quite a respectable figure.
After all, it's only the first day of pre-sales.
"That's amazing, boss!"
“There have been negative comments circulating online recently, and I was worried that it would affect our film.”
obviously.
Chen Su was extremely agitated.
In the past, when faced with public opinion on the internet, he tried to intervene on several occasions, but Chen Jin refused each time.
I thought it would be greatly affected, but the start was surprisingly smooth.
Chen Jin remained silent, which made Zhu Yanmanz somewhat anxious.
She could only hear snippets of information and had no way of hearing the specific results.
However, observing Chen Jin's subtle reactions, it's clear that she's doing well.
With the added appeal of the National Day holiday, "A Trip to Hong Kong" might achieve good results.
Chen Jin remained silent.
Early results don't tell the whole story. The 1500 million yuan in pre-sales on the first day was mainly due to the influence of Bell, Cheng Long, and his appeal.
In addition, this is the first time a zombie-themed film has passed censorship, giving it a significant advantage in terms of subject matter.
but.
There's not much to worry about regarding the movie "Hong Kong Trip".
In Chen Jin's view, this will definitely be a work that sweeps across Asia and becomes a global phenomenon.
For now, we just need to wait quietly for it to strike at every stubborn person.
Chen Su reported on several other matters. He had been dealing with the pre-sale issues of "Hong Kong Trip" for some time and was finally able to take a breather.
Next.
All we have to do is wait for it to be released.
Seeing that the two had hung up the phone, Zhu Yanmanz hurriedly went over to them.
"How's it going? How are the pre-sale tickets?"
She was thinking about this issue while filming today. Pre-sale box office figures reveal a lot, and she naturally hopes that Chen Jin's work will achieve the desired results.
Chen Jin turned her head to look at Zhu Yanmanz in front of her.
A hint of melancholy crept into his eyes.
This scene made Zhu Yanmanz's heart skip a beat.
She had just observed Chen Jin's expression, and his reaction should have been quite good, in theory.
However, Chen Jin's current state was somewhat unfathomable to her.
"Are the pre-sale box office results bad?"
I asked the question cautiously.
Chen Jin was involved in the entire pre-sale process for this movie, as she didn't want her loved one to be emotionally affected by it.
"1560."
what--
Zhu Yanmanz's tightly furrowed brows relaxed instantly, and her mouth opened slightly, clearly shocked by the result.
After realizing what had happened, Zhu Yanmanz punched the person in front of her in the chest.
"You're kidding me!"
"I thought the box office results were bad."
Zhu Yanmanzi glared angrily at Chen Jin in front of her. She was already quite tired after filming all day.
If she hears any more bad news, it will probably really exhaust her.
"The pre-sales on the first day actually exceeded 1500 million."
"Does that mean the box office is guaranteed?"
Zhu Yanmanzi subconsciously clasped her hands together; she didn't know how to describe her current feelings.
Chen Jin had discussed this issue with her before, and they did not have high expectations for the box office performance of the film "Hong Kong Trip".
just now.
Everything was clearly going better than they had anticipated.
It's worth noting that the first day's pre-sale box office performance reaching this level is enough to prove that it has attracted a large number of viewers.
With theaters offering a high screening rate, the box office expectations alone are likely to reach a higher level.
"Honey, you're amazing!"
Zhu Yanmanz's heart pounded, and she felt as if she had been thrown into the clouds.
This is enough to prove the fierce promotion of "A Trip to Hong Kong".
Despite facing numerous criticisms in the past, it has successfully established itself in this fierce market competition.
This would definitely be a sign of success.
"fool."
Chen Jin pulled Zhu Yanmanzi into his arms, and the two sat on the balcony, gazing at the moonlight streaming in.
My mood became unusually calm.
the next day.
Chen Jin got up early to prepare to take Zhu Yanmanzi to the film set.
After filming a few more scenes in Beijing, Zhou Yi and Lin Gengxin will head to New York to film the overseas scenes.
Fortunately, Zhu Yanmanz did not need to follow.
Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanzi had just arrived at the film set when they noticed Guo Fan coming out of the dressing room.
"Ouch."
"Mr. Chen, it's been a long time." His voice preceded his arrival.
Chen Jin was somewhat amused and exasperated, knowing she might have to endure Guo Fan's barrage of questions.
To be fair, the two of them really had a tacit understanding, as they both chose to arrive at the film set on the same day.
"The pre-sale box office for 'Hong Kong Tour' reached 1500 million on its first day! That's incredible!"
"How are other movies in the entertainment industry supposed to survive?"
after all.
In 2013, a film that could gross 1500 million yuan in pre-sale tickets on its opening day was basically a big-budget production with an S+ rating.
"Don't exaggerate."
Chen Jin waved her hand, saying, "No wonder Guo Fan can be a director; she can talk a big game."
Guo Fan shrugged.
He was truly astonished by today's achievement.
There is no boasting involved.
The total production cost of "A Trip to Hong Kong" was only 6000 million.
just now.
With just one pre-sale ticket, it feels like we're about to break even.
This level of skill is probably only something Chen Jin could handle.
"In any case, I would like to wish Mr. Chen great success at the box office for 'Hong Kong Trip'."
After saying that, Guo Fan moved closer to Chen Jin and whispered in his ear.
"I told you, this result is going to infuriate the Hua brothers."
Chen Jin couldn't help but rub her forehead.
The words may be rough, but the principle is sound; however, the words are just too rough.
If Wang Zhonglei and his brother were to hear this, they would probably get excited again.
As they were talking, the two walked towards the lounge.
Zhu Yanmanzi had just finished her makeup when she saw the two whispering to each other and walked over with a curious expression.
"The reason why 'Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame' didn't open pre-sales this time is probably because they don't want to go head-to-head with you."
Chen Jin didn't have many thoughts on this matter.
The success of "Hong Kong Trip" is indeed something other films should envy.
In this regard.
We'll definitely take it one step at a time.
"Yesterday's pre-sale box office results were good, probably because of the box office appeal of actors like Bale and Jackie Chan."
"Putting aside the appeal of these ideas, there might be some impact the next day."
Guo Fan did not refute Chen Jin's words.
He made a special trip to the set of "My Old Classmate" today despite his busy schedule, simply because of Chen Jin's "Hong Kong Trip" which is currently in pre-sale.
For him, Chen Jin's success was truly exciting.
In Chen Jin's view.
Ultimately, the success of a work depends on its quality.
Some things shouldn't be taken too seriously.
"All departments are prepared."
"We'll start filming today's scenes in ten minutes."
Zhu Yanmanz sat down next to Chen Jin, and the two chatted for a few more minutes about the same topic.
Seeing that the staff had all assembled, Zhu Yanmanz returned to her position.
Chen Jin casually clicked on today's news articles, and all she saw were about "A Trip to Hong Kong".
[First-day pre-sales exceed 10 million? "A Trip to Hong Kong" may become the biggest winner!]
[Star-studded cast: "Hong Kong Tour" achieves 1500 million in pre-sales on its first day!]
[Unrivaled? A resounding victory in the first battle of the National Day film season!]
[Aside from the star power, can scripts like "A Trip to Hong Kong" truly capture the audience's attention?]
Regardless of what's said online.
The box office of "Hong Kong Trip" was not affected in the slightest and continued to rise.
Bale saw the box office results.
He has to admit he was glad he took on this project, and he couldn't help but admire Chen Jin.
Meanwhile, at this time, the Wang brothers, Zhongjun and Zhonglei, were closely monitoring the news online.
"How is it? Has it refreshed?"
Upon hearing his older brother's question, Wang Zhonglei did not say much.
until--
When the pre-sale box office results for "Hong Kong Trip" were released, Wang Zhonglei immediately closed his eyes.
He didn't want to open his eyes at all; it all seemed like his imagination.
All that effort in the early stages, just hiring online trolls cost a lot of money.
What was the purpose? It was to reduce the amount of attention Chen Jin's work received.
Never thought about it.
The release of pre-sale box office figures immediately propelled "Hong Kong Trip" to the top of trending searches.
That's not all. Right now, the whole internet is buzzing about his talent and skill, and he's even more popular than when the film was first scheduled to be released.
"These useless people."
Wang Zhonglei took a deep breath.
He was too tired to continue speaking. No matter how much they planned and strategized, they were still unable to break through the barriers between Dianke and Chen Jin.
"it's good now."
"The attempt to steal a chicken backfired, making 'A Trip to Hong Kong' even more popular."
Wang Zhongjun said nothing more in response to what his younger brother had said.
The current situation is naturally unfavorable for them; no one expected that "Hong Kong Tour" would have such a strong box office appeal.
It was just like a wildfire spreading.
"Now that things have come to this, we can only wait and see how it is received after its release."
With less than a week until the release, it's too late for them to do anything.
We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate.
……
"Crack!"
"OK, halftime."
"Zizi's performance just now was good; her emotions were spot on."
Zhu Yanmanzi stepped down from the ladder, wiped away her tears, and looked at Chen Jin with a smile.
"Hehe, did you hear that?"
"Director Zhou praised my performance just now."
After hearing Zhu Yanmanz's words, Chen Jin raised an eyebrow and nodded heavily.
"It's really good."
"It almost made me cry."
Upon hearing this, the other staff members on set laughed, and the interaction between the two was extremely sweet.
"Alright, alright, I know you two are very much in love."
"Don't delay the filming schedule, or you might not be able to go to North America!"
Guo Fan joked.
He had already heard Zhou Yi mention this matter, so he certainly understood.
Let’s not talk about anything else for now.
If Chen Jin were his boyfriend, he would definitely stay by his side every day. What if someone else took such an outstanding man away?
Upon hearing Guo Fan's words, Zhu Yanmanzi couldn't help but laugh.
Her gaze fell on where Chen Jin was, and the blush on her face revealed her current mood.
The filming of the following scenes went quite smoothly.
The internet is already buzzing with discussion about the movies released during the National Day holiday.
As for "A Trip to Hong Kong".
It was undoubtedly the best of these films, and at one point it overshadowed all the other films released at the same time.
This is a symbol of power and status.
This clearly showcased the collaboration between the three giants: Bear Grylls, Jackie Chan, and Chen Jin.
"expect!"
"Putting everything else aside, the action scenes are definitely in the bag."
"A kung fu superstar plus Batman, a true visual feast."
"..."
Comments from netizens poured in, and discussions within the entertainment circle about "A Trip to Hong Kong" were particularly heated.
This is the end.
All we need to do is wait for "Hong Kong Tour" to be released!
