Chapter 257 No One Can Fight
"This guy really doesn't know how to choose a role."
While waiting, because there was nothing else to watch, Jiang Xiao didn't change the channel when he saw that this year's hit drama "Soldier Assault" was playing on a certain station.
But after seeing Cheng Cai, played by Chen Sicheng, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
And from the perspective of discussing things, Jiang Xiao in his memory felt that many of the characters he had played seemed to have some problems with his character.
Let's talk about this "Soldier Assault". Although Chengcai and Sanduo are fellow villagers, he has always maintained a sense of superiority in his heart. Therefore, when the latter became more successful, the mentality of being inferior to himself but surpassing him instantly appeared.
Imbalance.
And that "Beijing Love Story", where you obviously stole your brother's girlfriend and then made someone else into a villain. Is it true that he is the lead actor and director, so he can do whatever he wants?
Even in the movie "Escape" where she acted with Liu Qingyu and Liu Shimin, the character was a somewhat selfish person.
Therefore, Chen Sicheng's eyes when choosing roles are really fascinating. It's rare that this... but thanks to his success as a director, he has found another path.
"uh-huh!"
"Well……"
At a certain moment, I don’t know how much time passed, when Jiang Xiao heard the movement, he subconsciously turned his head and looked over.
Then the "renewed" Xiaodao girl reappeared in front of him, and then... she was still dressed in a female costume?
So is this the gift the girl wants to give him? It’s really a 100%, 100% surprise.
"Yingbao, come here."
After a long while, Jiang Xiao finally came to his senses and waved to Zhao Liying.
"oh!"
After Zhao Liying, who might still be a little embarrassed, heard Jiang Xiao's words, she silently stepped forward and came to the man's side, lowering her head.
"You don't learn well, but... I personally appreciate your courage to try. Come on, keep working hard."
After Zhao Liying came to his side, Jiang Xiao pulled the girl to sit on his bed, hugged her gently, and whispered in the woman's ear.
"Brother Jiang Xiao, bad, hum!"
After following Jiang Xiao for so many years, it is not difficult for Zhao Liying to guess some things. After a little try today, the effect is really immediate.
"Yingbao, call me..."
If it's bad, it's bad. With the clothes he was wearing at this moment, Jiang Xiao felt that the title needed to be changed, and he immediately corrected it.
"What, they don't scream."
After hearing this clearly, Zhao Liying's cheeks felt slightly warm, but she did not intend to obey the man's words.
"Ying Bao is so good, I believe you can do it."
Since he refused to listen, Jiang Xiao had no choice but to prepare to take action.
…………
Starting from the next morning, Jiang Xiao indeed started the promotional tour of "Wushuang".
Following the other two leading actors, Andy Lau and Fan Binbin, and director Xu Ke, we started from Beijing, then to the Magic City, Hangzhou, Yangcheng, Shenzhen, until appearing in Xiangjiang on the 29th.
The premiere of "Wushuang" was held again here. Many celebrities from Hong Kong came to support it, such as Yang Caini, Zheng Xiuwen, Liu Jialing and others. It was not inferior to the excitement in the capital a few days ago.
After that, Jiang Xiao took the knife girl with him without any further delay and prepared to return to Spring City to continue filming "Li Mi's Conjecture".
For the following publicity activities, such as Wanwan, he will never go there again. He doesn't have a good reputation there anyway, so it doesn't seem to matter whether he goes there or not.
However, the night before leaving Xiangjiang, a certain woman came to him and sincerely asked for advice. Naturally, he generously taught her a lot of new knowledge and was very patient. If it doesn't work once, just do it again.
It must be said that slowly, as the amount of knowledge continues to increase, Miss Fan is becoming more and more suitable for...well, I can't put it bluntly, the delicate rose has already bloomed.
…………
On the second day after returning to the set of "Li Mi's Conjecture", Jiang Xiao received the first-day box office results of "Wushuang".
The official release day on the 30th is Sunday. Although I have to work overtime due to the National Day holiday, the official holiday starts in the afternoon, so it is equivalent to a normal Friday and can also be regarded as a rest day.
So the box office performance on the first day was pretty good, with a score of 13.08 million.
You must know that the National Day schedule is currently not available, so "Wushuang" can be regarded as a pioneering move and has achieved good returns.
I believe that starting from next year, the National Day period will be taken seriously.
In addition to the box office, "Wushuang" has also received very good word-of-mouth reviews, with a score of 8.7 on Douban.
Of course, as the number of people who give ratings gradually increases, the ratings will definitely gradually drop.
But on Douban, it is not often possible to see a Chinese-language film or a Chinese movie with a rating of 8.0 or above.
Speaking of which, Jiang Xiao has filmed four movies that have been released since his debut: "Peacock", "The Banquet", "Curiosity Killed the Cat", and "Love Is Not Blind".
In terms of Douban ratings, "Peacock" received the highest score before "Wushuang", 8.1 points.
It was followed by "Love Is Not Blind" with a score of 7.5, followed by "Curiosity Killed the Cat" with a score of 6.4, and only "The Banquet" was the lowest, with a score of 5.9.
Now that "Wushuang" came out, it has hit a new high.
When it comes to evaluation specifically, for most ordinary viewers, the reversal of roles at the end of the movie really surprised everyone, which is also the key to boosting word-of-mouth.
At the same time, all the actors have also received various good performance reviews, and Jiang Xiao has received great praise. Whether it is ordinary audiences or professionals, they basically all have the same view.
No, a certain newspaper had the headline "Jiang Xiao, a surprising performance as always" and praised him so much that he even doubted whether he had spent money to buy the press release or something like that.
I also couldn’t laugh or cry.
All in all, the good reputation and the main box office appeal of Jiang Xiao and Andy Lau made "Wushuang" achieve better and better box office results during the National Day period.
On the 1st, it significantly exceeded the 20 million mark and took in a box office of 20.38 million yuan.
No. 2 continued to increase, reaching 23.5 million yuan.
On the 3rd, it climbed again, breaking through to 26.79 million yuan, and directly broke the single-day box office record set by "Love Is Not Blind".
On the 4th, the box office was still rising and the record hit a new high, reaching 27.32 million yuan.
On the 5th, it continued to rise and broke the 29 million mark, with 29.12 million yuan.
It seems that the difference is starting to get smaller, but it continues to rise.
On the 6th, it couldn't stop at all, reaching 30.28 million yuan, and finally broke the 30 million yuan mark.
On the 7th, the box office began to fall, with only 27.73 million yuan. After all, the seven-day holiday has ended, and we will officially start work on the 8th.
If there are no accidents, the box office will continue to drop in the future. On weekdays, there is no way to compare with holidays.
But no matter what, during the entire National Day period, "Wushuang" still swept the total box office of 198.2 million yuan.
If calculated on a weekly basis, since it was released on Sunday, the box office in the first week is the box office on the first day, which is 13.08 million yuan.
The second week happened to be the seven-day National Day holiday, and a total of 185 million yuan was received.
Needless to say, the previous record of 134 million in a single week of "33 Days" was easily broken by "Wushuang".
Such outstanding results were possible not only due to the quality of the movie itself, but also because of other movies released during the same period, none of which could beat it.
Chapter completed!
