I just want to be an actor

Chapter 154

Su Jingwen was very anxious. She was worried about the box office performance of the movie Zhou Sen starred in for the first time.

This is likely to determine Zhou Sen's current status in the domestic film and television industry.

After all, there are not many works of Zhou Sen that can be used as reference objects. A "Farewell My Concubine" with such a lineup is likely to set Zhou Sen's image. In the eyes of the public, is he a good actor or a good actor? Bad actor, this is related to his development later.

But the box office results were not as expected.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, 7200 million.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, 4800 million.

大年初三到初七，4400万、4200万、3900万、3800万、3700万。

Although the total box office has reached an astonishing height of 3.2 million, Su Jingwen can't help but worry about the one-day box office decline. Does this kind of high performance represent the public's attitude towards Zhou Sen's starring role?

But she found that Zhou Sen was still an old god who was cultivating himself at home.

"Aren't you in a hurry?"

Su Jingwen looked at Zhou Sen and asked.

"Huh? Why the rush?"

Zhou Sen tried to make his tea making hand more stable, he was studying the tea ceremony recently.

"The box office."

Su Jingwen took the cup of tea that Zhou Sen handed her, blew on it, and found that it was not cool for a while, so she put down the teacup again.

Zhou Sen was not in a hurry to speak, he took a sip of the scalding tea lightly, feeling the scorching heat surging on the tip of his tongue, he swallowed slowly before speaking.

"The box office, in fact, should be like this."

Zhou Sen said calmly.

""Farewell My Concubine" itself should not be a big hit movie during its release, it needs more and longer details, it may be watched repeatedly on various video sites in the future, and it will be brought out Study carefully, but if it’s only in the cinema, he shouldn’t be the first choice for the Spring Festival.”

Zhou Sen understood clearly, and Su Jingwen was stunned for a moment by his words.

"The box office on the first day was just pushed to a place where it didn't belong by the inflated popularity."

Zhou Sen seemed to take it indifferently, and he was quite open about the box office of "Farewell My Concubine".

"Actually, Master Ye and I predicted that it would be between 3000 million and 4000 million. Now the box office has actually exceeded our expectations."

Zhou Sen smiled instead.

When Su Jingwen heard this, she was not so anxious anymore.

"We pay attention to the box office, it is better to pay attention to whether there is any chance to win the prize."

Zhou Sen poured out the cold tea in front of Su Jingwen and poured her a new cup of hot tea.

"That's true. In fact, it is already the box office champion among domestic literary films."

Su Jingwen picked up the tea cup, and now she could calm down and taste it slowly.

"It's just that I have lost my manager's calmness and sense of proportion."

Su Jingwen admitted that her emotions were out of balance, and she didn't know why, but after being with Zhou Sen, the angle of thinking seemed to become less rational.

"After all, we are in the period of passionate love."

Zhou Sen suddenly stood up from his seat, and hurriedly moved to Su Jingwen's side, lifting her from the chair.

"An ancient saying goes, a wise man never falls in love, but I am willing to fall in love."

Zhou Sen stared at Su Jingwen slyly, and ate her tofu recklessly.

"Come on, come into the house with me, let's go down."

"What are you doing, eating my tofu in broad daylight."

Su Jingwen patted Zhou Sen's shoulder weirdly, but she didn't want him to let go.

"Doing things with a partner, can that be called eating tofu?"

Zhou Sen chuckled.But after he finished speaking, Su Jingwen gave him a blank look.Now that she has stayed with Zhou Sen for a long time, she can keep up with the normal speed.

"Are you serious, you bastard?"

"Serious or not. You'll know if you try it?"

Holding Su Jingwen in his arms, Zhou Sen sprinted [-] meters towards the bedroom.

The door couldn't cover some noisy noises, and the half-drunk tea on the table was like a small pond, rippling in the pond.

This is destined to be another not so peaceful night.

"Farewell My Concubine", which grossed a total box office of 3.2 million during the seven-day statutory holiday of the Spring Festival, stabilized its single-day box office between 3000 and 4000 million even though it was not optimistic.

Even from the eighth day onwards, it is a normal working day.

But it did not continue to fall in the single-day box office as some self-media predicted.

In the second week of the film's release, from the eighth day to the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, "Farewell My Concubine" has successively won 2.4 million box office.

Generally speaking, the first two weeks with the highest popularity have passed, and the total box office of "Farewell My Concubine" has only just exceeded 5 million, reaching a height of 5.6 million.

This has also become the first literary film released in China to break through 5 million in total box office.

According to this growth rate, many people predict that the final box office of "Farewell My Concubine" should stay at around 10 billion, because the release cycle of "Farewell My Concubine" is 48 days. After the Lantern Festival, major theaters will also be allowed to reduce the number of films scheduled for "Farewell My Concubine", as long as it remains above 14%.

But during the Lantern Festival, the market gave Zhou Sen and the others a huge surprise.

Surprises are surprises simply because they come suddenly.

On the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month, the single-day box office of "Farewell My Concubine": 8300 million!
This even surpassed the opening day box office!

This sudden performance bomb made all the predictions from the self-media impossible.

According to the feedback from the theaters, today's attendance rate is as high as [-]%, which is even higher than the day of the premiere!
Follow up!Instead of being weak!
This bluffing box office performance also really broke the rumors of "Farewell My Concubine" going high and low.

Zhou Sen was a little startled, this box office figure was beyond his expectation.

He and Su Jingwen were sitting at home, scrolling through social media, and finally understood why "Farewell My Concubine" suddenly had a second outbreak during the Lantern Festival.

Because some viewers during the Spring Festival, after watching it for the first time, were overwhelmed by the kind of sadness that permeates the whole body.

So much so that they are not particularly willing to go into the cinema again in a short time.

When the slowdown is almost over, I have to start working again.

When they are at work, they will also be thinking about some clips and details that they did not understand clearly at the time, so they also want to find time to watch "Farewell My Concubine" several times again.

Some people find time to go to the late night shows after get off work.

But this movie, it's kind of magical.

After watching it once, I realized my dream and wanted to watch it again.

But if you really want to say that there is a day when you can watch it several times in a row, it has to be the Lantern Festival.

Some people read "Farewell My Concubine" twice, three times, or even four times on the same day.

The purpose is to relive the entire movie completely several times.

Zhou Sen suddenly realized that he seemed to understand the relationship between business and literature and art.
