Chapter 821: Let Jiang Xiao do me a favor
The first-week box office of "Mission: Impossible: Fallout" was 837 million yuan, which is a very good result. It also interrupted the chance of "I Am Not a God of Medicine" to win three consecutive championships. The latter had 612 million yuan this week.
box office.
But to a certain extent, "Disc 6" has lost. After all, "The God of Medicine" has already been released in its third week, and its greatest popularity has passed.
Another thing is that even if Jiang Xiao also appeared in "Disc 6", he was only the second male lead and would not appear all the time. It would definitely not be as effective as his starring role.
In addition, there are many competitors in the same period, including "The Richest Man in Xihong City", "Di Renjie: The Four Heavenly Kings", "Skyscraper Rescue", "The Righteous", and "Asura", etc.
There are all released one after another, so there will definitely be competition.
As for these movies, except for "Asura", which is said to be a "week-long self-driving trip" with an investment of 700 million, and is extremely bad, the reputation of the other movies is not bad, but it is not so bad that no one cares about it.
Directors and actors are also relatively popular actors and directors. The popularity of movies is not bad, and they will more or less occupy a certain proportion.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for Jiang Xiao, "Disc 6" would not have been released at the end of July. It is precisely because of this that the film market structure of this summer vacation in my memory has obviously changed.
For example, "The Richest Man in Xihong City", which was released on the same day as "Disc 6", was heavily criticized. Its box office in its first week was more than 500 million, which is definitely not bad. It is obvious that the box office alone has started to make money, but compared to memory
The box office will definitely be much less.
The cake is only so big, and the basics are substantial. If there is one more "Disc 6", other movies will definitely be squeezed.
As long as the reputation can hold up, that's fine. If it doesn't, it will only get worse.
"Four Heavenly Kings" is an obvious example. It was also released on the same day as "Disc 6" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City". The box office in the first week was slightly lower, reaching 200 million.
But it was someone else who was injured, so Jiang Xiao naturally didn't care. After all, the two works that won the first and second place were related to him, and he was also the biggest winner. He should be snickering as a winner, and he couldn't restrain his smile no matter what.
The other two films, "The Sky Rescue" and "The Righteous One", were released a week before "Disc 6", but they were not as good, and were even more miserably suppressed by the unexpected "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
The former is played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Because Jiang Xiao first starred in the "Vegan Chicken" series, this actor is not as popular in China as he remembered, and this was ultimately reflected in the box office.
After two weeks, the box office of "Skyscraper Rescue" has just exceeded 300 million yuan. It is estimated that there is no hope of 400 million yuan.
Fortunately, the visual effects of this movie are really good in all aspects, otherwise the box office would have been even lower.
As for "Evil Can't Suppress Righteousness"... In line with the title, the film with "evil" in it is completely suppressed, which gives it a bit of a local advantage, so the situation is better than that of "Skyscraper Rescue", which currently has a box office of more than 300 million.
Eventually 400 million should be no problem.
Jiang Wen gave the audience a lot of surprises in "Let the Bullets Fly". When "One Step Away" he gave the audience a few slaps in the face, his expectations were in vain. Now "The Evil Is Not Suppressing the Right" is said to be the "Beiyang Trilogy"
The last part of the movie made the audience look forward to it but afraid of being disappointed again.
Presumably Lao Jiang also made a compromise and stopped playing like "One Step Away", but the story is still average after all, and there are no more surprises like "Let the Bullets Fly".
I can't go up, I can't go down. The most uncomfortable feeling in the middle is mediocre.
Xu Qing is so charming that she shows off all kinds of feminine charms, but it can't save the whole movie.
These movies lost to Hollywood blockbusters, forget it, and "Disc 6" starring Jiang Xiao. They also lost to movies like "The Richest Man in Xihong City" that I don't know how to evaluate. It's uncomfortable to think about it. I want to cry, but I can't.
come out.

In a certain hotel, Liu Yifei, who had changed into simple black clothes, carried a paper bag, and put on a hat to go out, was just about to leave quietly when a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Sissi, where are you going?"
"Uh...Mom, I, I'm going to go buy some food, yes, I want to have a midnight snack!"
Although she was helpless, Liu Yifei herself could only turn around and use temporary excuses to respond to her mother.
"Mom, I look stupid, don't I?"
Naturally, Liu Xiaoli would not believe her daughter's excuse. After that, she simply exposed it directly: "Are you going to find Jiang Xiao?"
"Well, there is."
Liu Yifei felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this. In fact, her mother knew her so well that it was not easy to tell a lie. She didn't have the confidence herself, and it seemed that she had already taken a false step.
"No, we've already broken up. What do you mean by this? Are you still fooling around secretly? Are we still good friends after we break up? Or are we each getting what we need? Is this what you young people do now?"
Having seen through everything, Liu Xiaoli no longer held back any words.
"Mom, you, what did you say!"
Knowing that her mother would speak such straightforward words, Liu Yifei also became a big blush.
As for "breaking up" or something, they did break up, but it was just for "Sister Liu" to see.
After all, if she and Jiang Xiao stay together, as time goes by and the age is not too young, she will definitely face some plans related to marriage.
But Liu Yifei's unusual relationship with a man is a bit difficult to develop like an ordinary couple. Therefore, more than two years ago, her mother and Jiang Xiao had already "broken up".
"Qian Qian, what are you thinking? You will be thirty-one soon. Do you plan to keep being separated from Jiang Xiao like this? It's not like boyfriend and girlfriend to think about the future?"
Her own marriage is not good, so Liu Xiaoli naturally does not want her daughter to be like her.
"I...Mom, I don't want to force myself. I know whether I am happy or not, and I don't regret my choice. I can't say that I will find someone with good conditions but no feelings at all to spend my life, right?
"
"And I don't need to rely on anyone. I can live a good life on my own, right? I know you have been thinking about me all your life, but sometimes... after all, you can't live according to the settings."
"Mom, as you just said, I'm almost thirty-one years old. Can I choose the life I want?"
Liu Yifei, who was silent for a moment, almost confessed some thoughts to her mother that she had never said before.
After hearing this, Liu Xiaoli condensed her words and wanted to put it aside...
But slowly, she also understood that her daughter was not her puppet and had her own ideas after all.
"Okay, I won't care about you from now on. I'm not saying this in anger. I just think maybe you're right. There's no way to live according to the settings. Okay, you can go where you want to go and pay attention to your safety."
After saying this, Liu Xiaoli was about to go back to her room, but as she took a step forward, she suddenly thought of something, so she had to turn around and add to her daughter again: "By the way, Sissy, remember to let Jiang Xiao wear it..."
"Oh, Mom, you, why do you say everything!"
Liu Yifei, who didn't let her mother tell her everything, was immediately interrupted with a blushing face.
"I'm your mother. If there's anything I can't tell you, I'd like to remind you that unless you want to be a single mother yourself. In fact, if you really want to, I won't object. You can ask Jiang Xiao to help. After all, your age is not the same.
You are still young, and in five or six years, you will be considered an older mother. If you give birth now, I can help you take care of it..."
"I'm leaving first, bye!"
"Sister Liu"'s attitude changed so quickly that Liu Yifei couldn't resist it and had to retreat quickly.
Good guy, even the words "Let Jiang Xiao do a favor" came out. She felt a little hot when she thought about it.
But to be honest, Liu Yifei had never thought about the problem of her children before. Now after being reminded like this, she seemed... like a ripple on the originally calm lake surface.
Of course, this kind of thing doesn't come to fruition just by thinking about it casually. It's better to take your time and at least think clearly about whether you want it or not, and then think about when it will happen.
But it has to be said that in terms of age, because she will become an "older mother" in a few years, Liu Yifei will indeed be somewhat affected.
