Chapter 119 It Was Made into a Comedy? 【Second update for subscription】

"What do you mean? The one that spent so much money to promote you is not a real promotional video?"

Hao Fu felt that it had been too long since he had beaten his son!

Hao Huan quickly explained: "Dad, can you listen to me before you stare! Although I said that the previous promotional video is not a real promotional video, the content in the promotional video is indeed cut from the movie. It's just that the clips are all some of the more horrifying clips."

"What about the real promotional video!" Hao Fu asked, "The real promotional video isn't scary, is it?"

Hao Huan posted the news on Weibo and said, "You open the ticketing software and click on the cover to see the real promotional video, and you will know why "Returning Soul Night" is not a suspense thriller movie, but a comedy movie. It’s a movie! Of course, the plot is more or less scary, but the comedy is the highlight.”

Hao Fu believed his son's nonsense for the time being. He watched the so-called real promotional video with his mobile phone. At the beginning, it was still a scene of a woman burning incense and coins at night, which gave people a sense of horror and horror.

Later, Liu Yuxi appeared in the video, she shouted to the sky from the rooftop: "From today onwards, I will forget about that scumbag! God, please give me a new start!"

At this time, Hao Huan's voice sounded: "Okay, I promise you!"

Hao Huan, who appeared in the video, was drinking milk in front of a pot of white morning glory, and said, "It is my responsibility to do justice for the heavens. If I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell!"

He leaned his ear to the morning glory to listen, then raised his head, drank the milk and said, "It's okay, don't worry about me, it's time!"

Immediately afterwards, another horrifying picture appeared!

The black-and-white TV of "Grandma Ghost" was displayed on the screen, and it suddenly flew out of nowhere, chasing a haggard-looking woman.

Then the screen switched, and suddenly appeared a little boy who was possessed by a ghost, his face was blue, and he looked very frightening and frightening.

The little boy chased and killed the woman with a fruit knife...

The screen switched again, and the little boy possessed by the ghost suddenly smashed holes in the iron gate with an iron pick, as if someone was hiding inside and wanted to go in and kill someone. Looking at this scene, Hao Fu felt inexplicably Some nervous.

Immediately afterwards, the screen changed again.

The little boy possessed by a ghost was actually backing away in panic!

Then, Hao Huan, who was wearing a black hat, sunglasses, and a black suit, suddenly appeared behind the little boy. He held a pocket knife in his right hand and stuck it to the boy's throat.

Asking, "Do you like to scare people? Do you know it's wrong?"

"I know." The boy said.

"If you know, just call home and say sorry!"

Hao Huan asked the little boy who was possessed by a ghost to call home, and the little boy said to his daughter-in-law on the other end of the phone coldly and gloomyly: "I am your mother..."

On the other end of the phone, the woman screamed in fear!
Seeing this, Hao Fu found that this scene was quite funny!He suddenly felt that this movie didn't seem so scary!
Then, the screen switched again.

The little boy possessed by the ghost said: "Enough of you! I'm a ghost anyway!"

Hao Huan said disdainfully: "What's so great about ghosts? Ghosts can be arrogant!"

"It's not that I'm arrogant, it's that I was killed by them before I was alive, so today I'm coming back to take revenge!"

The screen switches again!
Hao Fu was attracted by the suspense of this story!
It turns out that the ghost possessing the little boy is actually the little boy’s grandmother?The couple who burned incense and ghost coins at the beginning turned out to be the ghost's son and daughter-in-law?

They actually killed their old mother?
This is true unfilial piety!
The funniest thing is that in the following promotional video, Hao Huan was suddenly dragged away by a group of men in white clothes, because he turned out to be a mentally ill person who slipped out of a mental hospital!
Hao Fu was puzzled: "So, this is a comedy? Isn't it a ghost movie? Are these ghosts imagined by mental patients?"

Hao Huan said hehe: "You will know after watching the promotional video."

Soon, Hao Fu finished watching the promotional video.

Thriller, humor, funny.

Compared with the previous promotional video, it does have a bit more comedy elements, and after incorporating the comedy elements, those scenes that were originally horrifying suddenly became less horrifying!
Finally, a classic propaganda line came out: Cling film for catching ghosts, chocolate for fighting ghosts!
The 5-minute movie promotional video made Hao Fu even interested.

He suddenly discovered that this brat really has something!This promotional video is quite attractive to watch, and this brat's acting skills look pretty good, anyway, he thinks this promotional video is much more exciting than the previous ones.

"How? Isn't this promotional film scary?"

Hao Huan smiled smugly. The promotional videos released earlier were all horror plots. Now this sincere promotional film incorporates elements of humor and comedy, so it doesn't look scary at all.

Hao Fu snorted coldly: "Even if it's a comedy, it's not a pure comedy! It's definitely not going to be cheap if it's released during the Spring Festival! I haven't watched "Double Happiness", it's a pure comedy, and there are 10 more movies left. It was released on a genius, and the pre-sale box office has already reached 5000 million!"

Hao Huan said: "A high pre-sale box office does not mean that the final total box office will be high. Zhou Zhongcai's movie has a good pre-sale box office. After all, too many traffic stars participated in his movie, so the box office was overwhelmed before the premiere." [-] million is normal, maybe even [-] million at the box office, but after a day, if the word-of-mouth score is not good, there will be nothing in the future!"

Hao Fu looked at the box office results of "Returning Soul Night" not long after the pre-sale started, and said, "So you are very confident in your movie, right?"

Hao Huan said seriously: "Of course, if I don't have confidence, I won't show it in the Spring Festival, and then I will go against Zhou Zhongcai!"

Hao Fu didn't know whether this brat's confidence was trustworthy or not.In short, just don't capsize in the gutter, when the time comes, it's not a big deal to lose money, but it's a big deal to get back after being slapped in the face by Zhou Zhongcai!

After all, this brat and Zhou Zhongcai are mortal enemies!
The TV series of the two is on the bar, and the movie will also be on the bar next, and it is estimated that there will be more cases like this in the future.

Now "The Butterfly Lovers" slapped "Heavenly General" to make Zhou Zhongcai lose a lot of face, so now Zhou Zhongcai can only rely on "Double Happiness" to save face, and humiliate Hao Huan by the way.

Two hours later, the new promotional video of "Returning Soul Night" appeared on the trending searches.

"Holy shit, Hao Huan's movie is absolutely amazing! The promotional video was so scary before, but watching this promotional video now makes me laugh so hard!"

"Haha, the first minute of the promotional video made me flustered, but the latter part was too funny! Especially when Hao Huan was taken back to the mental hospital, I laughed so hard that my mask fell off! The phrase 'catch ghosts with Plastic wrap, chocolate to fight ghosts' is too funny, who came up with the lines?"

"I'm actually interested after watching this new promotional video! But I'm afraid it's a baiting movie! If it's not a comedy but a horror movie, wouldn't I be so cute? Was sent away from this world by Hao Huan?"

"For Goddess Liu Yuxi's long legs, I'll buy two movie tickets first to support her! I think this movie won't disappoint! Hao Huan's acting skills are pretty good!"

……

Perhaps the new promotional film has played a role, or the promotion of up to 1 million yuan has worked.

After two hours of pre-sale, the box office has already exceeded 100 million. After one day, the pre-sale box office can reach at least 600 million.

More ideally, maybe 1000 million yuan in box office can be harvested in one day.

Of course, the pre-sale box office is an uncertain factor, because during the pre-sale period, audiences can refund tickets at any time.

So maybe the audience suddenly had the idea that they wanted to watch "Double Happiness", so they canceled the tickets for "Return to the Soul" and replaced it with "Double Happiness".

At the same time, Zhou Zhongcai belatedly realized that he heard that Hao Huan's "Return to the Soul Night" was actually a comedy movie?
When he heard the news, he couldn't believe it. A ghost movie, how the hell did you make it into a comedy?
He watched the new promotional video of "Return to the Soul Night" and found that some of the cutscenes in it were indeed quite humorous, as well as Hao Huan's acting skills. I don't want to brag about it, but this guy's acting skills are indeed good.

Even though the promotional video is only 5 minutes long, as a professional director, he can still tell the good from the bad.

However, he still laughed disdainfully: "Audiences who like suspense and thrillers found that this kind of boring comedy elements were mixed into the movie! Audiences who liked comedy found that ghosts appeared in the movie at every turn! This kind of setting theme also Only a newcomer like him can think of it! This kind of film, which is completely different and unflattering to both sides, is destined not to be liked by the general audience!"

He is very confident in his "Double Happiness". According to the current pre-sale results, the box office may already exceed [-] million in a week. By then, the box office will already exceed [-] million before the movie is released!
This is something that only the movies he made can do!
Hao Huan?

Heh, this guy's pre-sale box office will be 1000, which is not bad!If it weren't for the crazy promotion of "Returning Soul Night", he dared to say that the pre-sale box office of this movie would definitely not break through [-] million yuan!
First of all, the title of the movie "Returning Soul Night" has already dissuaded many viewers during the Spring Festival.

Furthermore, apart from Liu Yuxi, a female star whose traffic is not bad and whose acting skills are recognized by the audience, there is no second star involved in this movie, so compared with other Chinese New Year movies that gather stars, "Return to Soul Night" obviously doesn't have an advantage, okay?

"If this guy didn't have a good father, he wouldn't even be qualified to be cannon fodder in the Spring Festival with his movie! Still thinking of fighting against me? Still thinking of competing with me? Heh, I don't even look at how much I weigh. How many taels!"

Zhou Zhongcai is looking forward to it even more, during the Spring Festival, come early!On the first day of the new year, come early!
I really want to see Hao Huan's black and swollen face from my slap!
He will use "Double Happiness" to avenge the revenge of "Heavenly General" this time!

At that time, he will also treat his own body in the same way as his own, and humiliate Hao Huan on Weibo, let him know what it means to not do anything and not die!

……

In this way, another three days passed.

"Double Happiness" has been pre-sold for 7 and a half days, and the pre-sale box office is currently as high as 9100 million yuan. At this time, there are still 7 days before the first day of the Lunar New Year.

As for "Returning Soul Night", the three-day pre-sale box office reached 1600 million yuan. Ranked No.4!Therefore, this kind of local tyrant-style propaganda is quite useful.

At noon, Hao Huan drove to Zhongxi Opera.

Now, the filming of "Happy Ghost" is coming to an end and is finally about to wrap up...

　Thanks for the 1000 tip from [Domestic Black Meow], and the 10000 tip from [Little Huhu is Coming], thank you bosses.
