Superstars start as villains

Chapter 57 is fruitful.

Originally, when [Slimming Men and Women] came out at the box office in the first week, the media didn't take it seriously. However, when the box office reached 2300 million in two weeks after its release, the whole media's tone changed.

[Slimming men and women] With an ultra-low cost of more than 300 million, they won 2300 million box office in two weeks. According to this momentum, 3000 million box office is almost stable, and the rate of return is amazing enough.

In Xiangjiang, the box office of 3000 million is considered a critical point. If you cross this line, you can basically book the top three in the annual box office. Is such a result worth reporting?

What's more, although [Shaolin Soccer] is in the limelight, it has been reported for such a long time, and the audience will inevitably experience aesthetic fatigue.

[Slimming Men and Women] is different. If [Shaolin Soccer] is a big meal, then [Slimming Men and Women] is like a side dish. There are no gorgeous special effects, and no thrilling plots. However, it is such an ordinary city. Love makes people feel healed after watching it, and the weight loss plot in it is also grounded enough. After watching it, many fat house viewers even started to make weight loss plans.

Many gyms even put up posters of Zhou Xing and Zeng Ruowen in the movie to attract business, and the various weight loss courses were even full. .

[Slimming Men and Women] was released for three weeks, and the box office exceeded 3100 million. The box office has already experienced a certain decline, but it is also a normal phenomenon. [Shaolin Soccer] was released for four weeks, and the box office was only just over 5000 million.

Of course, this result alone is already amazing enough, let’s not talk about [Shaolin Soccer], which is naturally attracting attention and is considered to have the best chance to break the 1996 Police Story starring Cheng Long’s 4 million Hongkong box office record. Film.

And [Slimming Men and Women] is a dark horse, hitting the box office target of 4000 million. The former is amazing, but the latter is not weak at all, and with [Shaolin Soccer] so brilliant, to get such a high box office, The gold content is evident.

In the past, many media who were bad-mouthing [Slimming Men and Women] also began to change their minds, and Brother Feng was able to coolly express in front of the media: There is no need to compare me with any other directors, because there is only one me in this world.

Zhou Xing gives full marks to this pretending.

Of course, Zhou Xing and Zeng Ruwen still have to work hard to promote the show before the film of "Slimming Men and Women" is released. After all, there is still a chance to hit 4000 million, and the box office of 3000 million and 4000 million is another level.

[Shaolin Soccer] was finally released for 58 days, with a box office of 6073 million, and successfully topped the Xiangjiang box office championship. For a while, the media rushed to report, as lively as the Chinese New Year. Zhou Xingxing finally completed the transformation from a star boy to a star master. So far, In the rivers and lakes, the dead setter who holds "actor's self-cultivation" in his hand and tells people about plays and is disgusted by others is drifting away.

[Slimming Men and Women] was released for 62 days, and the box office reached 4043 million. This figure also caught the attention of all the media. Who would have thought that a movie with a cost of only more than 300 million could achieve such a terrifying box office in the end?

The on-screen couple image of Zhou Xing and Zeng Ruowen has also been recognized by many audiences. At one time, jewelry merchants like Chow Sang Sang wanted to spend huge sums of money to hire them as endorsements.

However, considering the follow-up development, both Zhou Xing and Zeng Ruwen refused.

For actors, it is not entirely a good thing to impress the audience with a deep screen image. For example, if Zhou Xing plays a couple with other actresses for a long time to come, the audience will definitely comment on his partner, and then conclude : Sigh, it's far worse than Ruowen.

As a result, Zhou Xing also secretly decided that he should try his best to avoid acting in similar love movies with Zeng Ruwen in the future.

[Slimming Man and Woman] After painting, Zhou Xing didn't take time off because of it. On the contrary, he became even busier. The exposure this drama brought to him was much stronger than the role of A Ji in "Slaying the Wolf", and The box office of two consecutive starring films exceeded 3000 million, which also raised Zhou Xing's box office appeal to a higher level.

At least in the field of urban romance films, he has proven his worth. Many film and television companies want to follow suit and invite him to continue to cooperate with Zeng Ruwen, and the remuneration offered is quite good.

However, they were all rejected by Zhou Xing. Xiangjiang Films died because of following the trend. Zhou Xing didn't want to overdraw the image he had accumulated so hard.

Regarding Zhou Xing's decision, although Anli felt a little pity, he also felt that he should take a long-term view.

In addition, the three assistants who have been trained in Xiangjiang for several months have also returned to the mainland, which also indicates that Zhou Xing's studio in the mainland has officially started operation.

Speaking of which, what the mainland studios need to do is not simple at all. The first thing is to contact fans and establish fan groups in first-tier cities like Beijing.

The second is to assist in the release of some of Zhou Xing's works, but so far, only one EP of Zhou Xing's works has a genuine distribution channel in the Mainland, and other film and television works, as well as the latest two songs, are all pirated.

Then I spread some of Zhou Xing's photos, posters, etc. among the fan groups. This is also a way to maintain the fan group, so that fans feel that joining the fan group is still beneficial, so that the fan group can gradually grow.

"Sister Anli, I recently found a super easy-to-use computer software on the Internet. It is very convenient for contacting fans. Many fans are using this. Unfortunately, there is no group chat function, and it is impossible to bring everyone together to chat. "Liu Yuan will report to Anli almost every two days. She is also the one with the fastest thinking among the three assistants. Anli has appointed her as the interim head of the studio.

"Oh? What software?" Anli became interested.

"QQ." Liu Yuan recommended the software to Anli as she spoke.

Anli smiled when he saw it: "Isn't this just ICQ?"

I didn't care about it at the moment, and explained some things to Liu Yuan, and then hung up the phone.

Compared with the mainland studios, anli has more things to do. With the box office of "Slimming Men and Women" booming, invitations to Zhou Xing for filming, commercial performances, and announcements have also become popular. In addition, "Slimming Men and Women" Men and Women] After the film was released in Xiangjiang, it was going to be screened in Taiwan. Zhou Xing, as the leading actor, naturally had to promote it.

Speaking of which, the sales of Zhou Xing's previous EP in Taiwan are still good, and it has a certain reputation in Taiwan.

2001 was definitely a busy year for Zhou Xing. Of course, he gained a lot. Adding up the various incomes of this year, he got more than 400 million yuan. In addition, after the box office share of "Slimming Men and Women", he More than 300 million can be distributed, that is to say, in just one year, his income is close to 800 million.

Although he is still far behind many first-line big names, but you must know that he has only debuted for two years, and this kind of money-absorbing ability is absolutely terrifying for a newcomer.
