Chapter 36 Dream Weaving
Wang Xiaohao knew what Ding Binbai was regretting.
Huang Anzhong's abilities are limited; the film's promotion and screening schedule were very mediocre.
It greatly affects movie box office!
But what's the point of saying all this now?
It's already quite an achievement that this film was even made!
Besides, if it weren't for Huang Anzhong, would anyone else have allowed a newcomer like Wang Xiaohao to be the director?
Wang Xiaohao simply said, "Let's go out for lunch, and we'll watch another movie this afternoon! That'll help boost our box office!"
Ding Binbai did not complain, but readily agreed.
The occupancy rate increased in the afternoon.
By evening, the theater was half full.
On this day, Wang Xiaohao watched three of his own movies.
What he didn't know was that Wang Xiaoshuang had also gone to see it.
She went to see it with Qu Qiuju.
As the movie ended and everyone excitedly discussed the plot as they left the theater, Qu Qiuju's expression was somewhat complicated: "I didn't expect Xiao Hao to be so capable!"
If you thought this film was good when you first watched it, it was probably because you made it yourself, and you liked it because of that.
So now, seeing the audience's reaction, it's clear that this is indeed a good movie.
Qu Qiuju said, "I think Xiaoshuang, you should treat Xiaohao better. After this film, Xiaohao's talent will probably be recognized by many people..."
Wang Xiaoshuang suddenly snapped, "How much better should I be to him? If it weren't for me, would he have had the chance to make movies?"
She didn't know why she got angry.
She was initially pleased because the movie was of good quality.
But one sentence from Qu Qiuju made her very unhappy!
Her voice was a little louder, and she was noticed by the audience who were leaving the theater. Someone immediately recognized her and shouted, "Wang Xiaoshuang! It's Wang Xiaoshuang!"
Are you here to do a roadshow?
Your movie is absolutely fantastic!
Upon hearing Wang Xiaoshuang's name, the audience members who were leaving the venue all rushed over.
Various mobile phone cameras were pointed at it, and they all started taking pictures.
In less than an hour, many photos had been uploaded to the internet.
"Wang Xiaoshuang is so beautiful! She was already stunning in the movie, and she's just as gorgeous in person!"
"I think she's even more beautiful in the movie!"
"A movie? What movie? Isn't Wang Xiaoshuang a TV actress? When did she start making a movie?"
"Hey sis, you just got online, right? Wang Xiaoshuang just filmed 'My Sassy Girl,' and she looks absolutely stunning in it. The plot is also really interesting..."
Then, the box office jumped to 5.6 million the next day!
It suddenly increased the box office by 2.1 million.
Wang Xiaohao's anxiety was cured in an instant, and all the pressure disappeared!
Because if this trend continues, the film's box office will definitely exceed 50 million, and it's not impossible for it to reach over 100 million.
After all, the box office had already exceeded 10 million in the first three days of its release!
At this time, sporadic discussions and reports about the movie "My Sassy Girl" began to appear in newspapers and online.
Especially online, discussions about this movie are gradually gaining momentum!
Like I said before, I don't know what's happened these past few years. All those directors, big and small, have suddenly stopped making movies.
Well, to be precise, they've all stopped being able to tell stories!
All the big directors are so engrossed in those so-called blockbusters that they can't get out.
As for aspiring directors, some have seized the opportunity to make a name for themselves with their ingenious ideas.
However, there has always been a lack of romance films, especially sweet, fairytale-like ones.
What is a movie?
The art of light and shadow.
However, in essence, movies are for creating dreams. They use the most ingenious means of light and shadow to weave one beautiful dream after another, adult fairy tales, that immerse people in and make them unable to extricate themselves.
This is the true essence of cinema!
How did Hollywood dominate the market back then?
Isn't that what it relies on?
However, since its commercialization in China, it has consistently gone down the wrong path, focusing on blockbusters and dark, gritty themes.
From the perspective of market development, there's nothing wrong with that.
But ultimately, this resulted in a lack of this type of film in China.
To add to that, Hollywood used this method to dominate the world in its past life.
After reaching the top, he began to abandon his original methods and stopped pursuing the adult fairy tale genre!
In short, there is a great lack of this type of film in China right now.
Especially sweet romantic movies.
Now Wang Xiaohao is back with "My Sassy Girl"!
It's been so many years since we've had a serious romance movie, especially one that's so sweet and funny. This immediately fills a gap in the market!
Online discussions became very high, especially among young people, particularly students, where the topic's popularity gradually increased.
This was also reflected in the box office, causing the film's box office performance to continue to rise.
On its fourth day of release, the box office reached 8.7 million!
More and more people are discussing this movie online.
Although it was made more than a decade later, this film could no longer be considered groundbreaking.
The world has seen similar patterns of female dominance and male subordination before.
However, "My Sassy Girl" still manages to make people laugh and cry with its hilarious plot and the heart-wrenching love story that follows!
Two-thirds of the movie is comedy, with various scenes of a domineering girlfriend bullying the male lead, which will make you laugh out loud.
However, after the turning point, when the heroine's background begins to be revealed, the style of the story suddenly changes.
The female protagonist's ex-boyfriend died while saving her, and she felt that she could not betray him.
She can get married, but she can never truly fall in love with another person.
She originally just wanted to find an honest man and marry the male lead as a side benefit.
When she realized she was falling in love with the male lead, she began to avoid their relationship!
Everyone felt the plot had reached a dead end, and the two were about to have a tragic end.
The plot takes a dramatic turn, the male lead makes a strong comeback, finally rises to the occasion, desperately saves the female lead, and says, "I'd even die for you."
The female lead was completely moved.
The two finally got together, resulting in a happy ending.
This final scene brought tears to the eyes of many female viewers.
Many people were still excited after watching the movie and left messages online, giving it high scores.
As a result, the film actually received a high score of 8.5.
Even rare platforms catering to literary and artistic youth gave it high marks.
Perhaps this movie is quite popular among artsy young people!
Although the score will definitely drop gradually, it also shows that the film's reputation can't be too bad!
On the fifth day, the box office exploded, with daily box office exceeding 10 million for the first time, reaching over 13 million.
Originally, due to insufficient resources, the "My Sassy Girl" production team did not prepare for a promotional tour.
After all, a roadshow isn't something you can just do whenever you want!
