Jin Shiyue and Jiang Yage, dressed in luxurious dresses, stood side by side on the red carpet. They skillfully posed in either dignified or lively and lovely poses. For a moment, countless films were wiped out.
After the photoshoot, the two of them continued to walk to the stage side by side.
Jiang Yage quietly turned her head and whispered, "Chen Guang is so pitiful. We should have gone to Los Angeles to help him."
Jin Shiyue's lips moved slightly. "It's useless. Although we are famous in China, we don't have many fans in Europe and America. Even if we go, no one will buy it."
Jiang Yage said, "Sigh, it's all grandpa's fault. If he didn't refuse, I could have asked Mr. Fang or Mr. Zhou to help him."
Jin Shiyue still shook her head. "Although they are famous in Europe and America, they are still Chinese. The problem that Chen Guang is facing now is not that the audience doesn't know him, but that his popularity is almost on par with Bruce Lee. But it's useless. He has been set up as the opposite of the movie. Even if we pull people from China over, it won't change the European and American audience's opinion of him and 'Women'. "
Jiang Yage nodded helplessly. "That's right. They will also lose their reputation. Alas, my dear Light, this is a very unconventional course of his. Although we all think that he can win an Oscar with his acting skills, it's too rushed. "
Jin Shiyue pondered for a moment. "I think he probably has his own difficulties. No matter what, we must help him stabilize the domestic box office. Although the Oscars don't care about the box office, there are still some benefits. If we can make the domestic box office reach a phenomenal level, it can make up for the loss of the North American box office to a certain extent. "
Jiang Yage tapped on her phone. "Yes, I just posted on Weibo."
"What did you post?"
"If the box office exceeds 500 million, I will release the highlights of the kissing scene. If it exceeds 1 billion, I will release the highlights of the sex scene. If it exceeds 2 billion, I will release the highlights of the light. If it exceeds 4 billion, I will …! Forget it, I haven't written that yet. "
"Are you crazy? We don't have any tidbits at all! All the scenes with him were done in one take! "
Jiang Yage shrugged. "Why don't we just ask Chen Guang to take some shots?"
"You … you can do that?"
On the other hand, at one o 'clock in the morning in Los Angeles, the North American box office data for the premiere of "Women" was released.
The total screening rate was 0.67%, the occupancy rate was 9.3%, and the total box office earnings were less than a million US dollars.
Extremely low screening rate, extremely low attendance rate.
It looked terrible, but it was completely disproportionate to these numbers. What was even more shocking was the extremely high reputation!
Although the first public screening at the Huaxia Theater was completely full, it still took time for things to develop. The social media accounts of the famous guests were also a little late. The overall attendance of the first public screening in other cinemas in Los Angeles was still not high. When the data was zoomed in to the United States, the average attendance was even lower.
Later, the attendance of the evening screening was incredibly higher than that of the first public screening. It was a pity that it was already past midnight, so it was not included in the box office statistics on the day of the premiere.
Chen Guang didn't care about what was going on outside the window. The poor employees of the Tianguang Group were heartbroken by the terrible attendance rate.
Sitting in the temporary office, Fang Tianyu whined with dark circles under his eyes, "There's no reason! Our premiere is so powerful. Even if the first public screening can't be a blockbuster, it should at least be at least 10% of the seats, right? Our screening rate is already low, and the attendance rate is still low. What kind of hatred does our international friends have? "
Lu Xiaoliang comforted him, "Fang, don't worry. Even if we can make a comeback at the premiere, it will take time for the news to spread, right? Even if many people want to change their minds because of the guests, it is already night time. Most people won't go out at night just to watch a movie. Let's wait and see. There should be a surprise in the attendance rate tomorrow. We can't do anything about it on the day of the premiere. "
"How can you be so calm, Buttface?"
"You don't understand, Fang Tianyu. After staying with the boss for a long time, I feel that I have a tendency to be like the boss. Look at my face. Don't you think I have the demeanor of a general now? "
"It's hard to say about the demeanor of a general, but you are really crazy."
"Screw you!"
After talking for a while and communicating with Yue Hong in China, they forcibly encouraged Chen Guang's inexplicable confidence. After that, they went back to the hotel and went to sleep with their own thoughts.
The next morning, the sun rose as usual, and everything looked so ordinary.
But no one knew that this would be the most crazy day in the history of movies. When the future generations recalled this day, they couldn't help but tremble with fear.
At 9: 30 in the morning, the ticket seller of the Huaxia Theater in Hollywood opened the ticket window sleepily as usual.
The first screening of the day was at 10: 00 in the morning, but there were usually few audiences in the morning.
Maybe the first movie tickets would be sold at 9: 50 in the morning.
The ticket seller thought to himself as he raised his eyes and looked forward.
"Wait, are my eyes playing tricks on me? What's going on?"
The ticket seller rubbed his eyes to make sure that he wasn't seeing things.
Looking out from the window, he saw a long line of people winding through the window all the way to the stairs twenty or thirty meters away. There were obviously people lining up at the bottom of the stairs.
The ticket seller stretched his neck and looked down. He actually saw the long line on the square through the stairs!
The line was at least a hundred meters long, right?
"Am I dreaming?"
The poor ticket seller pinched his thigh hard to make sure that he was awake.
This kind of queuing situation was not uncommon in the Huaxia Theater, but that was only at night!
It was impossible to get in during the day, especially the first screening in the morning!
"Two tickets for 'Women', please!"
Just when the ticket seller was in a daze, the strong man at the front of the line had already shouted.
"Okay … okay …"
The ticket seller didn't expect that his busy work would start so early.
Half an hour after the morning screening, the real-time statistics of the North American box office were released.
The screening rate of 'Women' was still only 0.67%. As a big new movie, it was hard for people to look at it directly. It was even worse than a roadside picnic.
However, the attendance rate of 'Women' had completely reversed. It even made people in the European and American film circles fly into a rage and scream horribly.
99.8%！
Almost 100% attendance rate for the morning screening. What kind of concept was this?
This was going against the natural order of things. No, it was already going against the natural order of things!
How many years had it been since such an attendance rate had appeared in the history of movies?
Even the popular 'Titanic' couldn't achieve this in the primetime slot. After all, many people didn't like to sit in the first row or in the corner, even if they had to wait for the next screening.
There was really no need to squeeze everyone in the same theater and push the attendance rate to an insane 99.8%!
Although he didn't want to admit it, this was close to a historical 100% attendance rate!
But it was still in the morning. In the afternoon and evening, this terrifying figure was very likely to be obtained by him!
You know, we were still frantically boycotting this movie yesterday. Today, you made its attendance rate soar to a historical level. How could we accept this?
What was this?
The biggest irony?
The people in the film circle thought of the news report they saw last night, and then thought of Chen Guang's horrible guests who fell from the sky, and felt like crying.
They thought that the people in the circle would unite to call on their own fans or fans to boycott him, and that would be enough to make him leave dejectedly.
Before his premiere, everything had looked perfect, but in the last five minutes, he had turned the tables around.
That's right. Everyone thought that those guests were invited by Chen Guang. No one believed that the guests came uninvited.
Even if someone told them the truth, they would not be willing to accept it. They would only feel that the world was broken.
Sinan, these well-developed idiots!
And those who were engaged in academics, did your brains go bad from learning medical language?
You idiots, Raven Holland and Pires. You're all world-renowned piano artists, after all.
Don't you have any artistic pursuits?
Don't you understand how ironic his behavior is?
And those racers!
Hamilton, don't you have any sense of social responsibility? Do you know what kind of people you're supporting?
I heard that there are some esports players who don't do their jobs!
And there are idiots who only know how to fly planes!
In the words of the Chinese, you are all helping the wicked!
On the second day of its screening, 'Women' achieved a 180-degree reversal in the number of seats from hell to heaven. It's precisely because you idiots who have no conscience, no standpoint, and no respect for art went against your conscience, dug your eyes out, and spread ignorant comments on the internet that flattered such a lousy film without any bottom line.
The influence of the F1 champion, the WRC champion, and the Dakar champion was undoubtedly world-class.
The influence of boxing superstars such as Sinan, Verbal Cannon, and Mayweather was also world-class.
These people mobilized their fans to support "Women", coupled with their flattering words that would make people blush, would inevitably make some people who did not usually go to the cinema pay for tickets.
There were many people who went to watch the movie, but the screening rate was extremely low. The direct result was, of course, that the attendance rate exploded on the spot.
The Heavenly Dao reincarnated, everything had long since been predestined.
The audience that provided 9.3% attendance rate for "Women" yesterday was less than 10,000 people. They must have all been paid by the Chinese!
There were less than 10,000 people in the audience that attended 9.3% of the seats for "Women" yesterday. All of them must have been paid by the Chinese to be fake reviewers!
Or else, how could the so-called ordinary people on the Internet who claimed to be neutral and just an ordinary audience applaud so uniformly?
Rotten Tomatoes Fresh 98.7%!
There were less than 100 votes, and the only negative comment was even a tie. "Sorry, my hand slipped and I clicked the wrong button."
What was this?
IMDB score of 10 points!
Okay, the number of voters was also less than 100.
What was this?
Just how shameless and deranged a person must be to be able to bribe the Internet Water Army so brazenly?
Okay, in short, with your shamelessness and the torrent of yuan, you successfully "swindled" a terrifying 99.8% attendance rate this morning.
But now there were nearly 100,000 people in the audience.
We don't believe that your torrent of yuan can still play a role.
At noon, when the negative comments started to appear, maybe you could continue to increase the attendance rate in the afternoon, but at the peak hour in the evening, the negative comments would show your true colors!
At this point, the people in the European and American film industry could only hope for this.
