Chapter 1999: The Box Office Joke that Went Wrong
In early July, Super 2 was released.
Qin Yang posted a Weibo for the release of Super 2, advertised Super 2, and then returned to the crew to continue filming.
The release date was still chosen to be July 12, the same day as Super 1 last year. Qin Yang even thought that as long as the Super series was still in series, if nothing unexpected happened, it would be released every summer, on July 12 every year. This would be more meaningful and easier to remember.
Although Qin Yang was in the crew, he did not lose contact with the outside world and could still pay attention to the release of Super 2. Of course, there were many people who paid more attention to Super 2 than Qin Yang, the boss.
Starring, director, film and television company...
The Super series is the main project of Hualong Film and Television, and it is to be made into a signature series of movies. Even Xie Dong suggested that if this series sells well and the characters in it are outstanding and popular, the stories of each character can be expanded to make the world more full, thus forming a super universe.
There are two Easter eggs at the end of Super 2, one is an attraction of Super 3, and the other is a short promotional video of "The Practitioner", which is scheduled to be released on the first day of the Chinese New Year.
With the strong confidence of Super 1, Super 2 exploded as soon as it was released.
There were no foreign blockbusters in the summer season, and the screening of Super 1 exploded directly, and the number of moviegoers also exploded. Many theaters were full, and many people came either for the movie itself or for Qin Yang's guest appearance.
"Qin Yang, it's a blast, it's a blast, the box office is a blast!"
When Zhou Peng saw Qin Yang, he shouted excitedly: "Transcendence 2 is also a blast!"
Qin Yang's expression was quite calm, and he said with a smile: "How much is the box office?"
"It's over 200 million, and it's estimated that it will be 400 to 500 million today! More importantly, the online netizens voted and scored very high. Several movie websites have passed 9 points, and even the most stringent ones have passed 8 points. At present, the circle of friends of movie fans is full of positive recommendations..."
Qin Yang smiled and said: "That's good, it seems that everyone can get a big red envelope again!"
Zhou Peng laughed: "That's also the generosity of President Qin. President Qin has always been generous. Everyone will be happy for a while."
Qin Yang smiled: "You have praised me this time. If you give less, I will not be able to get off the stage Ah. "
Zhou Peng looked excited: "Except for Super 2, the most popular topic among fans is "The Practitioner". Many viewers of Super 2 originally went for you, but you only played a cameo in it and didn't have many scenes. Everyone was very dissatisfied and hoped that you could have more roles. Now that you are starring in "The Practitioner", it can be said that the whole nation is looking forward to it. It can be predicted that as long as there are no mistakes, "The Practitioner" will definitely be a blast again..."
Li Siqi came over from the back and interrupted with a smile: "Super 2's performance is explosive. According to the current trend, even if it cannot surpass Super 1's performance, the box office will definitely not be much worse than 1. After all, Super 1 has broken the historical box office record. The box office of more than 8 billion is too difficult to surpass. "
Zhou Peng turned and looked at Li Siqi, and smiled: "Super 2 If the performance is stable, the Supernatural series has completely established its foundation. You are now a member of the 10 billion box office club. After the release of Supernatural 2 and The Cultivator, if everything goes well, the box office may exceed 20 billion. There are a few movies in the entertainment industry that have exceeded 10 billion, but there are basically no movies that have exceeded 20 billion. Siqi, you will be a top-tier star from now on. Congratulations. "
Li Siqi smiled: "Isn't it all thanks to someone? Wu Jing and I alone can't support such an exaggerated box office..."
Qin Yang joked: "Yes, the 10 billion club, how long has it been? In less than four years, you have become a top-tier star from a newcomer. Awesome, awesome!"
Li Siqi turned her head and smiled sweetly at Qin Yang: "It's all thanks to President Qin's promotion... Although you are a guest star, if you want to talk about it, You have a part in both Super 1 and Super 2, and you will also be a member of the 10 billion club. Some people have used this as a joke online these days. "
Qin Yang asked curiously: "No way, I'm just a guest star, it's a bit ridiculous to put this box office on my head, right?"
Li Siqi couldn't help laughing: "I know you don't care and don't think about this, but many people on the Internet do say so, and everyone is having a lot of fun. They made up a joke, the general idea is this..."
"Actor A: I have acted in 30 movies!
You (embarrassed): I have only made a guest appearance in two movies, well, one of them has no lines, and the two movies combined are only three to five minutes...
Actor B: I have won the best actor award, and more than one!
You (shy): I haven't won anything.
Actor C: My works have won numerous awards abroad.
You (covering face): ...
Passerby: How much is the total box office of all your movies?
You (casual): I didn't notice, it should be more than 10 billion!
Actor A (embarrassed): I have something else to do, so I'll leave first.
Actor B (embarrassed): I was stewing soup at home and forgot to turn off the fire, so I'll leave first.
Actor C (awkward): I... I have a stomachache, I need to go to the bathroom first. "
Qin Yang touched his nose and laughed: "Are all netizens so boring?"
Li Siqi smiled: "Netizens have adapted a lot of jokes, and there is one that is also quite interesting..."
Zhou Peng said expectantly: "What joke? Tell me about it."
Li Siqi glanced at Qin Yang and began to tell the joke with emotion.
"A gathering in the film and television industry, a group of bigwigs met.
Actor A: I have acted in 30 movies!
You: My box office is over 10 billion!
Actor A: ...
Actor B: I have won the Best Actor Award, and more than one! \
You: My box office is over 10 billion!
Actor B: ...
Actor C: My works have won numerous awards abroad.
You: My box office is over 10 billion!
Actor C: ...
Actors ABC: Can we not talk about the box office?
You: I am just a small role, a newcomer, a guest star, I have not won any awards, but my box office is over 10 billion!
Actors ABC: ... "
Everyone laughed, and Qin Yang himself was also very happy: "This is too dark, am I such a person?"
Zhou Peng laughed and said: "Think of this scene, haha, it's very exciting! "
Li Siqi chuckled and said, "I found a rule. Qin Yang, you are a mudslide that destroys ordinary cognition. As long as you enter that industry, the original rules of that industry will be easily destroyed by you. Any experts and seniors in this industry will be easily slapped in the face by you, even if you are unintentional..."
Zhou Peng laughed: "If you want to slap someone in the face, slap them hard. I am looking forward to the release of "The Practitioner" and the birth of a 20 billion box office. As a director, I will also make a lot of money with President Qin. Since directing Chaofan, my worth has increased a lot. It's all thanks to President Qin's support for me to direct "The Practitioner". I have a hunch that "The Practitioner" may become a monument in the history of film, and my name will also be remembered with this film..."
