"Twenty Again" suffered a crushing defeat, and Teng Jingfei had to shoulder a big blame.
It's not entirely because of this comment. Previous movies have been criticized by audiences for becoming less and less sincere and less and less funny.
Every time the promotion is done well, but the actual quality of the movie is not as good as expected.
That's why, when Teng Jingfei was "violated online", few fans spoke for him.
After many efforts, the results were not great, and it was obvious that there was no way to save the day. Sunshine Entertainment also stopped investing in marketing. If it continued, it would really lose money.
Upon discovering this situation, Li Yi was very sorry. He used too much force at once, leaving Sunshine Entertainment with no hope, so he managed to get away in time.
There are also two people, Ye Shuhua and Zhang Qili. Although their reputation and popularity have been affected, they have not damaged their roots.
The main thing is that these two people really know what it means to protect themselves wisely.
Before the movie was released, Ye Shuhua mentioned the arena on Weibo, saying that he accepted the bet and accepted defeat, and attached a screenshot of donating 1 million to Project Hope.
Zhang Qili had not participated in this matter before, but she also donated 500,000 yuan.
The two people's actions, after being widely publicized, won a lot of goodwill.
Ye Shuhua even got Li Yi's contact information, and called him privately, like a normal person, saying that he admired Li Yi's talent very much, and that he would have a meal together sometime, talk about movies, and ask about "Charlotte Trouble" The box office exceeded 1 billion. If there was a celebration party, he wanted to join in the fun.
This is not about licking a b-face and coming to eat, but Ye Shuhua showed his attitude of bowing his head and being submissive, and he expressed his stance in public, which can be said to be full of sincerity.
Ye Shuhua came to attend a competitor's box office celebration banquet. The topic was so popular that it would have a very positive effect on Li Yi himself and even the movie.
No matter which big name or director, the box office exceeds 1 billion in the first week, this is a very remarkable achievement, and it is worth the effort to hold a celebration party.
What's more, "Charlotte" cost only 30 million to produce?
Celebration is one of them, a very important one, and it can also play a very big publicity role.
There was naturally a celebration banquet, but Li Yi still declined Ye Shuhua.
The conflict between him and Ye Shuhua and even Zhang Qili is indeed not deep. The other party and Sunshine Entertainment only have a cooperative relationship, not a sharing of honor and disgrace.
However, Li Yi didn't like to deal with this kind of people. They were too thoughtful. How could he, a sunny boy, control himself?
On October 8, Li Yi and his team suspended their roadshow schedule and rushed back to the capital to attend the celebration party for "Charlotte"'s first week of box office sales exceeding 1 billion.
At the banquet, there were artists from the industry invited by Fanxing and Longda Pictures, as well as partners. People came and went. Most of them were in formal attire and carefully dressed. The men were in suits and leather shoes, and the women's skirts were fluttering.
Because there were many media at the scene, as well as many senior executives of film and television companies, some did not want to be rude, but some also wanted to leave a good impression.
As for the protagonist Li Yi, things were different. Zhang Bo and others all changed their clothes and tidied up in the hotel.
He was still in movie road show attire, wearing a baseball cap, a white T-shirt and jeans, and sneakers. If you ignored his face, he was just an ordinary college student.
But even so, no one would laugh at him.
Instead, everyone praised him for his spontaneous actions and that he was indeed a genius. They also claimed that Li Yi's face was so handsome even when wearing a sack.
Whether it is in person or behind his back, he speaks like this.
When a person succeeds, everything he says and does is right. At this moment, Li Yi deeply understands this feeling.
Recently, Li Yi has become more and more aware of what success will bring, and tonight, this experience reached its peak.
Many people came to Li Yi, smiling and saying compliments.
Li Yi also met again the leaders of the theater alliance.
"Mr. Li, congratulations."
The speaker, Mr. Wang, clasped his fists and called "Mr. Li" this time, which was much more sincere.
Li Yi smiled and clasped his fists: "Same joy, same joy."
"Hey, talking about this, I haven't been able to sleep well in the middle of the night these days."
Mr. Wang pretended to complain: "I have a nightmare every night in the middle of the night. The nightmare is about that gambling agreement. I really want to slap myself. Why do I have to be obsessed with it?"
Speaking of this, Li Yi had to express his sincere thanks: "Thank you for your support for our movie. I will give a toast to some good brothers later."
"Hahaha, I'm just saying this because your movies are good."
"That's right, the film schedule is all determined by the market. I have to say, "Charlotte" is really great!"
The box office in the first week exceeded 1 billion. In a normal one-month release time, it is obviously not difficult to reach the minimum of 1.5 billion.
With the contract signed, the people in the theater alliance naturally had to admit defeat, but they didn't want to see Li Yi act like a proud winner.
Now Li Yi's attitude made them very satisfied, and they left with satisfaction. It was okay, Li Yi was quite a good guy.
At this time, assistant Zhang Wu came over and informed: "Brother Yi, Teacher Lin Dan and the media are ready, and the ice-breaking ceremony can begin."
It is also an old tradition to smash ice at movie box office celebrations. This not only expresses the theme of the celebration, but also makes it visible to the outside world.
Look, our movies are so awesome and the box office is huge. If you haven’t seen it, are you sure you don’t want to take a look?
After a while, Lin Dan, wearing a suit and leather tie, appeared in front of the celebration poster. He thanked the many guests who had come to support him, said some festive words, and then invited Li Yi and other main creators to the stage.
Li Yi took the microphone, thought for a while and said: "To be honest, the box office exceeded one billion in the first week, which was a bit beyond my expectations. I didn't expect everyone to love me so much. This also made my original whimsical bragging more powerful." With great hope and a box office of 2 billion, it doesn’t seem to be difficult?”
This was said calmly, but in the eyes of others, it was quite intimidating.
The scene was filled with exclamations and applause.
Many artists looked at Li Yi with envy.
In their view, Li Yi has reached the pinnacle of being an artist. He is not only an artist, but also has his own company, and the company also has the ability to produce works.
In fact, there are many people in the industry who do better than Li Yi, and have deeper accumulation of capital and connections than Li Yi.
What they envied even more was that Li Yi was still under twenty-six years old. How could they have any capital at this age?
Li Yi didn't say much and handed the microphone to Zhang Bo, who handed it to director Liu Yishou.
Liu Yishou was a little nervous and a little excited.
After a few seconds of silence, Liu Yishou introduced himself to everyone: "Hello everyone, I am director Liu Yishou. Thank you Brother Yi for your trust, and thank you to all the creative team for their cooperation, and to the audience for their love."
Everyone in the industry at the scene applauded, especially some actors.
In any case, this movie was only made through a tool-man director like him.
Although this movie is Li Yi's movie in everyone's eyes, Liu Yishou's presence as a director is a bit low, but his resume is solid, and he has signed a contract with Fanxing, which shows that his ability is highly valued by Li Yi. Maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.
It was Zhang Bo who spoke next.
"This year has been a dream. First of all, "Ultimate FHM" has allowed me to gain something in my career and at the same time, I have also met a group of good brothers."
Zhang Bo sighed with emotion: "Xiao Yi is the youngest brother in our men's gang."
"Before recording the show, directors Zhang Lei and Wang Huaizhong talked to us privately and said that this younger brother has a lot of ideas for variety shows, sometimes for the sake of the show's effect. Don't take it to heart and take more care of him."
"But now it seems that we are not the ones taking care of him. It is clearly him who is taking care of us. Whether it is in the show or other things."
"There is no doubt that Xiaoyi is a genius, and he is also very generous and righteous."
"You don't know that when Xiaoyi first came up with this script, he was already very mature. As actors who have been in the industry for many years, we knew immediately that this movie could make money. Xiaoyi himself also knew that he was more confident than anyone else. They are all strong, and you guys have seen it too."
Zhang Bo laughed with everyone, and then said seriously: "But the first time he gave our brother a few investment shares, he asked everyone to help."
"Xiao Yi, brother Yi, you must be this one." Zhang Bo gave Li Yi a thumbs up.
At the scene, other men from the Men's Gang also came, applauding with emotional expressions.
Now not only the outside world knows that Li Yi is a righteous person, but the industry also has an impression of Li Yi. He is not a person who eats alone.
Eating alone is a taboo in the circle, because there will always be times when you need help from others.
There is no need to be isolated and targeted by everyone for such a small benefit, making it more difficult for oneself. This is a truth that both Li Yi and Ye Jie understand very well, and they have always done this.
Next, Lin Zixuan, Wu Li and others took turns speaking, and they also praised Li Yi in their words.
Lin Dan's eyes were red with joy for Li Yi, which was a true expression of his feelings.
He has an indescribable sense of accomplishment. He met Li Yi in the early days, admired Li Yi very much, and provided a lot of help.
Now that Li Yi is somewhat successful, he can't help but feel a little helpless.
"Okay, next is our ice breaking ceremony."
Lin Dan was naturally the first to hand the hammer to Li Yi.
Li Yi and Lin Dan hugged each other, took the hammer, and then searched for something in front of the stage. He quickly locked on a person, a girl in ordinary clothes wearing a baseball cap, striped shirt and jeans.
He smiled and said: "It's you, classmate Zhang Ying'er, stop hiding and come up quickly."
In the past few days of road shows, Zhang Ying'er, as a producer, accompanied most of the time, but rarely showed her face on stage. Every time she wore a hat and mask, she sat down and watched Li Yi's high spirits.
At this time, Li Yi felt that the person most worthy of the first blow was Zhang Ying'er.
Without her sudden change of career as a producer, and without her encouragement and support behind the scenes, Li Yi would not have been able to make movies so quickly, nor would he have achieved success so quickly.
Under the stage, Zhang Ying'er stopped ducking and gave Li Yi a coquettish look. She stopped being coy, got up and walked over.
Li Yi put the hammer into Zhang Ying'er's hand and said with gentle eyes: "Producer Zhang, come and strike the first hammer."
Zhang Bo and the others did not make any fun, but sat aside and looked at the talented and beautiful couple with soft eyes.
"You come."
Li Yi refused, so Zhang Ying'er came to the microphone again and said softly but firmly: "Senior, this is your moment."
"Without you, this movie wouldn't exist."
Zhang Ying'er's attitude was very firm. Li Yi smiled, avoided the microphone and whispered, "This is what you want."
He stood behind Zhang Ying'er, grabbed Zhang Ying'er's hand, and held the hammer: "Then let's do it together."
The hammer landed on the ice sculpture without heaviness, and countless ice shards were thrown up. The whole audience cheered, and the shutters and flashes continued.
Many female artists at the scene were extremely envious of the girl standing next to Li Yi.
Don't you just call me senior?
We will too!
The billion-dollar box office celebration of "Charlotte", driven by the media, caused quite a stir on the Internet.
During this period of time, the popularity of movies is still quite high, but no matter how high it is, it has a certain degree, and it has begun to slowly decline in the past two days.
And as various related information about the celebration party came out, the topic became hot again.
Despite the fact that the movie is very popular and has good reputation, in fact there are still many audiences who have not watched the movie.
Seeing that the movie "Charlotte" has exceeded 1 billion within seven days of its release, and its reputation has remained good, this has allowed those viewers who are not in a hurry to choose to go to the cinema.
However, the most discussed topic today is the first time Li Yi and Zhang Ying'er showed affection in public.
There has been no official announcement between the two, but everyone knows about it, but both parties still have some fans who are determined to give up.
"Ah ah ah, my husband is gone."
"Oh oh oh, my wife is gone too."
Husband fans and wife fans are having fun, while CP fans are enjoying themselves.
The CP line between Li Yi and Zhang Ying'er can be traced back to what Zhang Ying'er said during the three meals: "Senior, long time no see."
Many fans are sorting out their memoirs and analyzing clues about when they got together, and whether it might be earlier than "Yes, I have a girlfriend."
There are also more ardent fans who are predicting when they will hear the news of "Yes, we are having a baby."
As the time comes to October 15th, the box office exceeded 1.5 billion yesterday, and today it has reached 1.58 billion.
Li Yi also finally ended his heavy schedule of film roadshows, but there was still one last step to promote. He and Zhang Bo rushed directly to Star City on the same day to prepare to participate in the first recording of "The Voice of China".
The two participated as "players", wearing hats and masks, and walked directly into the lounge without notifying the instructor or disturbing other players.
This time, before Li Yi took the initiative to visit Ye Jie's uncle, Director Gao took the initiative to come over and say hello to Li Yi.
Director Gao happily patted Li Yi on the shoulder: "You are really young and promising!"
