Beijing, Zicheng Garden.
It was midnight, but the light in the study room was still on, and the coffee on the table was no longer warm.
Lu Chen leaned on the chair, holding the mouse in his right hand, staring at the computer screen in front of him, thinking.
The time on the lower right corner of the screen showed that it was October 2nd, 0: 25.
Usually, unless it was necessary for work, Lu Chen wouldn't stay up late. Although his body was at its peak, he needed to develop good habits at a young age, or he would regret it in the future.
But today was different. He was waiting for the box office of "The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer" to be released on the first day.
Because there was a certain delay in the statistics of the national cinema ticket sales system, the box office of October 1st would only be released after midnight the next day.
It was almost midnight, and the phone beside the computer hadn't rung yet.
But Lu Chen didn't lack the patience, and he wasn't lonely, because he had thousands of fans to accompany him.
Although it was midnight, the main fan group of Lu Chen's support group was still very lively. A large number of fans were enthusiastically discussing "The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer" that had just been released.
"It was so wonderful. It was definitely worth the ticket price. I'm going to watch it again tomorrow!"
"Ah, Lu Chen's Linghu Chong is so handsome, and Chen Fei 'er's ancient costume is so beautiful. I love it so much!"
"How do you think the martial arts fighting was filmed? Special effects? I can't see it at all! "
"This is a real martial arts film. The previous ones were all bullshit!"
"I like the theme song very much, but why wasn't it sung by Lu Chen?"
"Theme song praise + 1 …"
These fans who were discussing in full swing probably didn't even think that their favorite idol was quietly lurking in the group, paying attention to their comments.
Lu Jiajun's main fan group had hundreds of QQ groups, and Lu Chen had a sockpuppet in them. When he was free, he would log in to have a look and communicate with other fans as an ordinary fan, and he could get a lot of useful information from them.
Sometimes, when Lu Chen learned about the questions that many fans were concerned about, he would answer them on his blog, thereby shortening the distance between him and his fans.
When it came to his fans, Lu Chen didn't dare to say that he was the most important person among all the celebrities, but he never neglected them.
He couldn't help but smile when he saw the fans' comments in the group chat.
In order to shoot The Smiling, Proud Wanderer series, and for the Wuxia IP project, he had been preparing for nearly two years. He had invested hundreds of millions of yuan and put in countless efforts and painstaking efforts. What he wanted was to achieve a new peak in his life and career, and to leave his real mark in this world.
On a smaller scale, it was the recognition and love of the fans!
No matter how the others mocked and ridiculed him, it didn't matter to Lu Chen at all. Whether the fans liked him or not was the key to success.
Although the box office of the first day hadn't come out yet, the fans' reputation had exploded. So even if the box office of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer didn't reach the expected goal, it wouldn't be a failure.
He could openly say that the movie he made was worthy of the movie tickets paid by his fans.
"The results haven't come out yet?"
A gentle and sweet voice came from behind, and then a pair of white jade-like arms gently wrapped around his neck.
Lu Chen turned around and held the beauty in his arms, and said, "It's not out yet. You're not sleeping?"
Chen Fei 'er, who was wearing pink pajamas, whispered, "I can't sleep without you …"
Although she was a few years older than Lu Chen, she was still as lovely as a young girl in Lu Chen's arms.
Lu Chen smiled, "It should be out soon …"
Ring ring ring …
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone on the table suddenly rang, which startled both of them.
Lu Chenwas stupefied and immediately reacted. He reached out and grabbed his cellphone: "Hello?"
It was Lu Xi who called him. At this moment, Lu Xi was at the headquarters of Chenfei Media. She cared about the box office of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer on the first day as much as Lu Chen, and even more.
On the phone, her voice was very cheerful, "The box office is out, 49.2 million!"
Nearly 50 million on the first day!
Lu Chen couldn't help clenching his fist and waving it hard.
Although the domestic movie market was huge, and the box office was also one of the best in the world, there were many movies with a box office of over 100 million on the first day. 50 million was not a particularly outstanding result.
But it was really not easy for The Sword of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer to get such a result. It had to know that it faced strong competition from Hollywood action blockbusters. The production cost of Ace Agent was several times that of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, and the number of showtimes it received was also much higher.
The most important thing was that because of the failure of several similar martial arts blockbusters in the summer, it brought a bad reputation in the market. It was gratifying that Sword of Mount Hua could get a good start under such circumstances!
This also proved the necessity of Chenfei Media to spend tens of millions on publicity.
Lu Chen suppressed his excitement and asked, "Then how much is the box office of Ace Agent?"
He was also concerned about the situation of his opponent. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles.
The battle of the box office had just begun!
Lu Xi answered, "It's higher than ours, a little more than 67 million."
It was normal to be higher, but it was less than 20 million, which was about the same as the actual number of showtimes. Lu Chen was confident and said, "Well, we have to pay more attention to the publicity. We have to invest all the money we need, we can't save it!"
With a good start, he naturally had to strike while the iron was hot. He was very confident about The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, but if he wanted to get more recognition from the audience and attract them to buy tickets, he couldn't stop investing in the publicity.
It was like rolling a snowball. At the beginning, he had to push it hard. When the snowball got bigger and bigger, he could rely on inertia to roll it down, and it would get bigger and bigger.
The snowball of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer had just started to roll.
"Don't worry, I have already arranged the follow-up publicity …"
Lu Xi said, "You should rest early, don't stay up late, you still have to participate in the publicity tomorrow."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I know, you should rest early too."
After ending the call with his sister, Lu Chen hugged Chen Fei 'er and kissed her, "It's done, let's kiss!"
Chen Fei 'er giggled and turned her head away, "You haven't brushed your teeth yet!"
Lu Chen smiled and kissed Chen Fei 'er on the cheek, then carried her and rushed to the bedroom.
It was time to celebrate!
