Chapter 68 Fan Storm, Escape in the Night (Ch 68)

In a blink of an eye, I have been home for two days.

Away from the open and secret struggles in the city, Qi Jia is busy entertaining guests every day.

Everyone in the village knew that he had filmed a movie outside. A “big star” had emerged from the poor mountain valley.

Many people come to visit his home and see what the big star looks like.

The uncles and aunts in the family, who had only been to pigsties and never to a movie theater for most of their lives, walked into the theater for the first time under the guidance of the young man and contributed a box office ticket to his screen debut.

During this period, the three-day box office of “Nobody” was also released, and the total was only 24 million.

During this period, although Director Rao and his team did some remedies, such as asking friends in the circle to help with publicity,

But there was no miracle, the box office remained stable, not rising much but not falling much either.

With this result, even the cost of investment cannot be recovered. It is a complete Waterloo.

However, it is somewhat comforting that although the box office was a flop, the movie received a high score on Douban.

It has now risen to a high score of 8.5, which can be said to be the leader among the Spring Festival movies.

It far exceeds the two big IP movies, Monster Hunt 2 and Detective Chinatown 2, which were released at the same time.

Although this rating will fluctuate as the number of viewers increases after the film is released on video websites,

But it cannot change the fact that in the minds of the audience, this is a good movie, although the capital does not think so.

In addition, as the two protagonists in this film,

Because Zhang Yu is too low-key, he doesn’t even bother to register a TikTok account.

Therefore, almost all the fans rushed to Qi Jia’s account to leave messages and express their opinions on the movie.

In addition, Chen Yuwen has been trying her best to recruit people to help Qi Jia promote the company.

Therefore, Qi Jia’s fan growth has also ushered in a small peak. Currently, the number of fans on Douyin has reached 320,000, and the number of fans on Weibo has also increased to 360,000.

Netizens also gave Qi Jia a nickname “Pure Love Brother”. If you search for “Pure Love Brother” on Douyin, updates related to Qi Jia will automatically pop up.

This is quite an achievement for a newcomer.

But when they thought that this result was achieved with a million dollars spent on publicity, both Qi Jia and Chen Yuwen stopped laughing.

After the matter is settled,

As a leader, Mr. Zhao also had an in-depth conversation with Chen Yuwen.

The overall meaning is that she doesn’t need to worry too much, because he is there at the head office, but she still has to be punished personally, otherwise he won’t be able to convince everyone.

In addition, she was asked not to be influenced by gossip in the company and to deeply analyze the reasons for this failure.

Strive to achieve better results next time and prove her ability to the company.

Chen Yuwen was not at all unhappy with the company’s decision.

She was even glad that Mr. Zhao did not put all the responsibility on her and that she did not follow the wrong person.

Before leaving, she hesitated again and again, but finally spoke.

“Boss Zhao, this time the mistake was caused by me alone. Can the company only punish me?

Don’t blame Qi Jia, he is really a good actor and will be famous one day.

This time it was because of my problem that he was implicated. I hope the company will not cut his resources.”

After saying that, she bowed deeply to Mr. Zhao.

“You should go back to work first. The company will make a decision on this matter. I know Qi Jia’s ability, so you don’t have to worry.”

Mr. Zhao comforted her with a few empty words, but did not make any substantial promises.

Seeing this, Chen Yuwen had no choice but to leave in disappointment.

At the same time, he made a decision in his heart to protect Qi Jia’s star career at all costs.

The time came to February 20th.

A video titled “Dark horse of the Spring Festival! This year’s best and less popular domestic film. If it’s not good, you can beat me to death.” quietly became a hot search on Douyin.

The person who posted the video is a famous film and television commentator with 5 million followers on Douyin.

The incident started when he and his friends were tired from shopping, so they chose a movie that was not very popular.

He planned to go in and have a good sleep, but when he woke up, the movie was over.

Just as he and his friend were about to leave, they were attracted by the ending song of the movie.

After listening to the ending song, the two became more interested in the movie, so they immediately bought two more movie tickets and watched it again.

This time, the two of them watched the movie from beginning to end without blinking, and after watching it, they found that the movie was really excellent.

Whether it is the plot, background music, actors or lines, it is a top-notch work among domestic films.

He was so excited that he could sense that this was a hot topic because he had never seen any of his peers post this movie on TikTok.

So he went home immediately, collected information, and produced this video overnight.

After it was released, this video quickly received recognition from many fans who had also watched the movie.

“Finally I saw a blogger recommending Nobody. It’s the funniest movie I’ve seen this year.”

“Who in the family understands? He just wants to get himself a Laifu. What’s wrong with him?”

“Please use one sentence to prove that you have watched “Nobody”.”

“This is love~”

“I love you Mahuaqing!”

“Grow bigger and stronger, and create greater glory.”

The fans’ interactions and likes continuously increased the popularity of the video, and other bloggers also wanted to take advantage of the popularity after watching it.

So, whether people have seen the movie or not, they all started posting videos, praising “Nobody” for being really good.

As more people promoted the film, many viewers who had never seen the film became very interested in it.

In addition, almost everyone has already watched several popular movies now, and they are worried about having no movies to watch.

At this time, they discovered that there was a piece of gold that had fallen into the pit and had not been discovered, so they hurried to fish it out.

A large number of audiences began to flock to the cinema to verify whether what was said on the Internet was true.

However, the number of screenings of “Nobody” was too small, resulting in many people being unable to buy tickets.

This aroused everyone’s curiosity even more. Tickets were hard to come by, so it must be a good movie, no doubt about it!

Therefore, everyone strongly requested that the theaters increase the number of screenings and take down those money-making movies. We want to watch “Nobody”!

At first, the cinemas were stunned by this astonishing popularity, but after they realized what was happening, they immediately increased the number of screenings of “Nobody”.

As more and more people go to the cinema to watch Nobody, the movie is becoming more and more popular online.

The movie’s box office also doubled every day, first from an average daily box office of several million to tens of millions.

Then after a day, the next day the single-day box office soared to over 100 million yuan, and it continued to break records.

Everyone was stunned. “Nobody” was turning the tide at a speed beyond everyone’s expectations.

With the blessing of this terrifying popularity, the popularity about Qi Jia also skyrocketed.

In just one day, his Douyin followers increased to 1,264,800.

The number of fans on Weibo has also increased to over one million, and the data is still skyrocketing at a rate of thousands per second.

At night,

After seeing off the last wave of relatives who came to visit, Qi Jia was cleaning up the dishes.

The ones who came today were my sister and brother-in-law’s parents. He first chatted with everyone, and then helped prepare the banquet. He had no time to look at his phone at all.

Just as he was about to wash the dishes, he suddenly received a call from Chen Yuwen.

Half an hour later, Qi Jia hurriedly said goodbye to his parents, picked up his backpack, and rushed to the high-speed rail station overnight.
