Shu Zimu and the others can see that the quality of the film is good, and the invited guests, media, and film critics can also see it. Even though many film critics prefer literary films and their evaluation of commercial films is very average, this does not prevent them from seeing that this film "Dawn of Blood" will have great potential in terms of box office gains. I thought it was just a small transparent movie that was not very good. Many people felt that they would pay for Xingyue's push so hard. They didn't expect to watch the whole movie now, but they lost their eyes.
The premiere went well, and the reports about the premiere came out the next day. The comments on "Blood War Dawn" itself, and the gossip Qi Yan and Shu Zimu each accounted for half of the country. Of course, more drafts combine the two, using Qi Yan, Shu Zimu, and even Yun Hao to attract people, and then praise or depreciate "Blood War Dawn".
Although Xingyue spent a lot of money on the promotion of "Blood War Dawn" in the early stage, but after the premiere, it will be screened, and then when the large-scale filming is scheduled, the film crew no longer spends money and energy on deliberate public relations praise, but Let the media, film critics, and ordinary audiences who have watched the premiere and ordered screenings evaluate according to their own thoughts and feelings after watching the movie. This approach of the film crew is because they have confidence in the quality of "Blood War Dawn", so they have the confidence to let go of the evaluation control. And for some bad movies with poor quality, the first few days are probably the time when the box office is the highest. Therefore, at the beginning of the release stage, the film crew will spare no effort to fool the audience, and before the bad word-of-mouth completely spreads, it will be fooled. .
Finally, when it was time to officially start large-scale screenings, the evaluation trend of "Blood War Dawn" was not overwhelmingly favorable, but the overall evaluation was very good, especially among ordinary audiences who watched the screenings, they basically got a relatively high rating. The evaluation, the attendance rate of screening venues has also been increasing. With this, the film studio successfully negotiated with the theaters about a fairly good film schedule, which was much more than what the theaters were willing to give at the beginning.
While the word-of-mouth was fermenting, Xingyue did not carry out too much publicity, but also made a small recommendation. The so-called small range is really small, neither buying various apps to open the screen nor looking for a marketing account, just let a few well-known guests who participated in the premiere briefly recommend it on Weibo. Among them, Yun Hao has the most fans, and the others only have tens of millions of fans. Originally, Shu Zimu wanted to abandon his famous Weibo account, which was only used to make a statement, but because he recommended "Blood War Dawn", he had to give up the idea of abandoning it. However, he thought that he would have to have a Weibo account if he became a screenwriter in the future, so he decided to use Weibo to advertise this time.
Shu Zimu's Weibo has only posted two statements, other than that, there is nothing else. Even though he has a lot of fans, most of them will lose their popularity within a few days. In comparison, there is a small group of CP fans who are quite affectionate and will chat awkwardly under Shu Zimu and Qi Yan's Weibo from time to time, and even have output.
And after the news of the premiere of "Blood War Dawn" came out, the group of CP fans suddenly pounced on it like wolves who had been hungry for a long time. The same-frame photos they had been looking forward to for a long time finally appeared this time, and there were a lot of waves as soon as they appeared, and each one was so hot and beautiful! Look at the headlines of those news again: "Qi Yan, Shu Zimu and his wife join hands to attend the premiere of "Blood War Dawn", "Chairman Xingyue confessed that investing in "Blood War Dawn" is to meet the requirements of his lover", "In order to discuss the most beautiful series Hua Huanxin, the wealthy president spends a lot of money", "Denying years of dating, Qi's heir may fall in love with Shu Zimu at first sight", "Qi Shufu said that he has no plans to give birth to the next generation"...
The CP fans who have been short of sugar and food feel that a bright spring has suddenly ushered in, and their fans are still a pair of official CPs that no one dares to deny. Look at the meaning of those news, Qi Yan invested in movies for Shu Zimu, Spending a lot of money, even buying Xingyue may be for Shu Zimu, who is the standard handsome, rich, dedicated and affectionate CEO hero in the novel! And the looks of these two people are so hot! ! It can be seamlessly substituted into the president's novel, no! It should be sweeter and sweeter than the CEO's novel, and it's still true. It really has to make people feel like a girl. Even the reason Qi Yan gave for not wanting to have children for the time being is so pampering, saying that it is because Shu Zimu is still young, inconvenient and not yet ready to be a father.
CP fans read the news reports with awe, and successfully attracted a group of newcomers into the pit. After a long time, Shu Zimu's Weibo finally got some news again, even if it was just to promote "Blood War Dawn", fans immediately rushed up to leave a message.
[If Mu Mu is not an artist, remember to invest in more movies and participate in events like premieres more! Don't be so low-key, hang out with your relatives more, let the media take more photos qaq]
[Before, they were all daily photos taken secretly. This is the first time I saw Mu Mu in a suit. As an almost dried-up face powder, I finally feel that I have ushered in spring again]
[I heard that Mr. Qi fell in love with Mu Mu at first sight, is it true? It seems that Mr. Qi is also a face control_(:з」∠)_]
[Master Jinzhu looks so suwa when he hugs Mumu's waist, and the scene of staring at each other is so sweet that I can't see it (*ω＼*)]
[It feels like the media reporters at the premiere of "Blood War Dawn" will add chicken legs! What a beautiful picture of Mu Mu and Mr. Qi!]
[I thought that according to the patron’s previous attitude of not being seen by others, I could only keep licking the few photos I saved before. I didn’t expect that there would be so many benefits suddenly, and it was still a photo with the patron ! And there is no need to worry about the donor asking to delete it! ! Ecstatic and suddenly at a loss.jpg]
[I feel that Mu Mu and Mr. Qi have really worked hard to advertise their own movies, and they have reached the point of selling their hues 23333]

[! ! you're right! I'm going to fuck the box office of "Blood War Dawn"!]
[For Yangou's flourishing beauty!]
[Sugar and food for Mu Mu and Lord Jin!]
[Everyone rush! ! !]
Shu Zimu looked at the messages on her Weibo, and felt that these Yan fans and CP fans who were criticized by some people were actually quite cute, and she didn't reject his advertising behavior, but took the initiative to help the box office. Although Shu Zimu's fans are actually quite small, and it really doesn't contribute much to the box office, but Shu Zimu feels a little heartwarming when he looks at it.
Together with the fans, there is also the box office of "Blood War Dawn". The effect of fans is not that strong, but the gradual ferment of word-of-mouth among passers-by still made this movie a better hit than Shu Zimu remembered. The box office on Friday’s premiere day closed at nearly 50 million, but the attendance rate was higher than the film schedule, so when the film schedule was increased in the following weekend, the single-day box office successfully exceeded 100 million. At the same time, because the word-of-mouth has never declined, but more and more positive reviews, the single-day box office did not decrease much on weekdays after the weekend, and basically remained at the level of 80 million. Seeing this, the theaters naturally added another lineup to "Blood War Dawn".
According to this momentum, it can be said that there is basically no suspense in the box office of one billion yuan, and there is hope for 1.5 billion box office. Two billion is a bit difficult, but we can look forward to it a little bit.
Before, except for Shu Zimu, no one expected this film to have such a result. Even though Che Jingyuan, as a director of commercial films who knows the market well, realized that the box office of "Blood War Dawn" should be good, he didn't expect it to reach 1.5 billion. In his prediction, one billion is considered an extraordinary level. Therefore, all the people involved in the film were beaming and surprised during this period of time. Only Shu Zimu was still calm. The final box office of "Blood War Dawn" in the previous life was close to 2 billion. In this life, the quality of the film has improved, and the pre-stage publicity and film scheduling have also been better. The performance a few days before the release is also better than Shu Zimu's memory. billion.
Of the two billion box office, Xingyue can earn less than half of it, and the profit should be less than one billion, but for Qi Yan, he earns more. Because of the relationship between Shi'an Real Estate, Qi Yan also has a large share in the movie theaters, and his own theaters naturally have a lot of films, so the box office revenue of "Blood War Dawn" is mainly from the theaters under Shi'an Real Estate, so the overall calculation , Qi Yan invested in "Blood War Dawn", and the rate of return can be said to be quite high.
Qi Yan didn't pay much attention to the investment project that Shu Zimu requested at first, and he just wanted to keep his capital. Now he can earn more than one billion in a short period of time. Although he is not particularly excited with his worth, he is still a little moved. Thinking of Shu Zimu strongly recommending him to invest after seeing a simple project plan, Qi Yan felt a little moved. But for a while, he didn't think too much about it. He just thought that Shu Zimu might be really talented in this area. He could achieve the top results in writing an article for the first time, and he was also very discerning in investing in movies for the first time. He wasn't interested in the entertainment industry at first, but now he feels a little bit of fun because of this big profit. But he doesn't have any artistic skills, he can only read reports, and in the future, he will follow what Shu Zimu said, and I believe his vision will be better.
"Blood War Dawn" has become an out-and-out dark horse. While the relevant personnel are happy, the media is naturally willing to take the initiative to spend more ink on the report. As a result, the advertising effect and word-of-mouth effect of movies have become stronger and stronger, attracting some audiences who didn't like this kind of subject matter or even watch movies very much to the movie theater, so that the box office trend has never been depressed.
When he no longer needed to worry about the box office of "Blood War Dawn", Shu Zimu turned his attention to other tasks, such as the script of "Super Power Office" and the outline of the second book he planned to write and deposit. Regarding the former, Shu Zimu has only proposed to divide the content of the novel into three parts according to the progress of the plot, and arrange the movies into three parts in a series, which exactly correspond to the three stages in the novel. The novel is more than two million words and has many plots. A movie can't be finished in just two hours. At most, it can only keep a frame. This is not impossible, but relatively speaking, the script has changed a lot compared to the original. Although Shu Zimu has been studying for half a year, when it comes time to start writing the script, she still finds it a bit difficult, even if it is her own novel. Therefore, after weighing, Shu Zimu decided to divide it into three parts, so that it would be less difficult for him to adapt the script and the story could be more complete.
But despite this, Shu Zimu still encountered a lot of obstacles when writing the script. In order to keep his mind flowing, he simply did other relaxation when the script couldn't be worked out. The activity he most often uses to "relax" is to think about the plot and outline of the second book.
Because she was learning about screenwriting, Shu Zimu set the subject of her second novel as martial arts. Pure martial arts can be regarded as a relatively cold subject in online texts, and ordinary writers will add some fantasy and comprehension settings, which can expand the background, increase the number of maps, and prolong the plot, and at the same time it is easier to write a refreshing feeling. 1 Even if Shu Zimu has accumulated more than ten years of writing, it is obviously not very flattering to write martial arts. However, many years ago, everyone wrote classic martial arts that became a memory of a generation, and the film and television dramas adapted from these works became popular, almost becoming a mark of an era. Shu Zimu looked at these classic novels and film and television works, and then came up with the idea of writing a martial arts novel by himself.
However, his ideas are still very rough for the time being. During this period of time, his thoughts have become a little fuller, but they are still relatively simple.
After all, it is an online article. Although the subject matter is cold, Shu Zimu still considered the due refreshing feeling and rhythm setting, and finally decided to write a story of revenge and slap in the face. The story of revenge is not new no matter what the subject matter is. Shu Zimu naturally needs to work harder if he wants to write new ideas. And if you want to make readers feel good, some basic routines are naturally unavoidable. Moreover, the setting of revenge can easily make the protagonist appear aggrieved in the early stage, which may exceed the readers' psychological expectations, and this aspect must be well controlled.
Revenge stories are generally full of dog blood, which can be regarded as the content that the general public loves to talk about, so Shu Zimu thought about it, and thought of a particularly bloody story.
The protagonist is a rookie in the rivers and lakes, quite famous, and his family also has a certain status in the martial arts. He also has a fiancée, who is also the daughter of a well-known family in the martial arts world. The wedding is approaching, and the protagonist goes to the house of his fiancée who is far away to discuss matters, and happens to save someone on the way. The other party was seriously injured, and after being rescued by the protagonist, he found that he had lost his memory, so the protagonist took the other party by his side as a guard.
The two hit it off very well, and gradually became close to each other on the road. They almost became close friends in a short period of time. However, when they were about to arrive at the state capital where the protagonist's fiancée's home was located, they heard a bad news—the fiancée's family was born. The massacre.
Shocked, the protagonist hurried over, and at the same time, after hearing about the extermination of the protagonist's fiancée's house, the memory of the rescued "guard" slowly recovered. And except for a little flaw when he just recovered, he has been pretending to be flawless since then, and accompanied the protagonist to investigate the massacre at the fiancée's house. But in fact, he is the murderer.
The protagonist didn't doubt this friend he already trusted very much. Not only did the other party not reveal his flaws, but he also helped him a lot during his investigation. During the investigation, the protagonist finds out that his fiancée may have escaped, so he continues the investigation while looking for his fiancée. Before finding his fiancée, the protagonist discovers some evil deeds of the fiancée's family under the guidance of his "friend". Suspicious, he continued to dig deep, but was chased and killed by people of unknown origin. During a chase, the "friend" exposed his martial arts to save him, and this kind of martial arts is exactly the same as that used by the murderer who killed the protagonist's fiancée's family.
The protagonist questioned the other party in confusion, and chose to part ways with the other party after the other party did not answer. In fact, because of the things found during this period, the protagonist has been inclined towards the answer that there is a problem with the fiancée's family and that the family was destroyed because someone was looking for revenge. He didn't have as much hostility towards the murderer at the beginning. But the sudden exposure of "friends" still makes the protagonist unacceptable. The marriage contract between the protagonist and his fiancée is the order of his parents. In fact, the two have never met each other a few times, and they don't have a deep relationship. In comparison, the protagonist's relationship with his "friend" is much deeper. It’s just that the protagonist thinks that his “friend” might be deceiving him from the very beginning, deliberately pretending to have amnesia. With this premise, the other party guides him to discover the evil deeds of his fiancée’s family, which makes the protagonist have to think that everything is faked by his “friend”, In deliberately deceiving his suspicions.
And the forces that came out to hunt him down seemed to have nothing to do with the affairs of his fiancée's family, so the protagonist couldn't make an accurate judgment for a while, and he didn't know whether to continue to trust his "friend" for the sake of saving his life. , or killed the other party out of the attitude of revenge for the Yue family. In the midst of emotional ups and downs and confusion, he decided to part ways with the other party and investigate the matter by himself. The other party didn't stop him either, and acquiesced to the result after being exposed.
After the protagonist started the investigation alone, he narrowly escaped several pursuits and got some chances. Then, by coincidence, he found the fiancée who escaped.
The fiancée behaved purely and timidly, and was very wary of finding his protagonist at the beginning. She was completely a weak girl who became frightened by the tragic experience of the family. Without martial arts, thinking is also very simple. She was very unfriendly to the protagonist who came to her at the beginning. After the protagonist tried hard to prove that he was indeed her fiancé and had no malicious intentions, she slowly let go of her guard and began to rely on the protagonist. From her mouth, the protagonist failed to dig out more clues, but got a token that was given to her by her family before the other party escaped. She seemed to be ignorant of the dark side of her family, she hated the murderer who killed the family wholeheartedly, and hoped that the protagonist could help revenge, so she handed the token directly to the protagonist.
The protagonist has found something, but the clues are still looming. At the same time, he is worried that the person who pursued and killed him still has not given up, and maybe his "friend" will come to kill the fiancée who slipped through the net, so the protagonist decides to send the fiancee to a safe place first. Let's talk about the place. So he used his family connections to find some people to escort his fiancée to his house, and sent a letter to his brother to go to meet him, while he stayed behind to distract those who were chasing him.
The protagonist was repeatedly injured while being hunted down, narrowly escaped death, until one time he was seriously injured and fell into the river. He survived and was rescued by someone, but he became blind in both eyes. But fortune and misfortune depend on each other. The one who rescued the protagonist was a senior who was almost alone in the martial arts decades ago. The protagonist got a lot of opportunities with him, and at the same time learned some secrets in the martial arts.
After the protagonist recovers from his injuries, although he is still blind, he still insists on returning to the outside world. However, when he overcame the difficulty of blindness and returned to the original place, he heard a more terrible news-in a short period of time, there were several tragedies of extermination in the rivers and lakes, all of which were quite famous families in the martial arts. Including the protagonist's family. The team escorting the protagonist's fiancée heard that they were also attacked, and no one escaped alive.
Compared with the extermination case of the family of the fiancée who was not close to him, the catastrophe of his own parents and relatives is much more heartbreaking, and the hatred for the murderer is much more. And because these cases happened one after another in just a few months, it is easy to think that it was done by one person or a gang. Therefore, the protagonist has to be suspicious, suspecting that the "friend" he still has a little trust in may be the murderer who killed his parents and brothers.
This made the protagonist feel even more painful. For a while, he regretted that he should have killed the other party when he was exposed; for a while, he couldn't help guessing that maybe the other party was not the murderer. The exposure is also intentional, so what should I do.
The protagonist's thoughts became more and more chaotic and tangled, but he still decided that even if he was always in a state of blindness, he had to investigate the matter to the bottom and give an explanation to his deceased relatives, as well as to the "friend" he once trusted wholeheartedly. .
And this time is actually the time when the story of revenge really begins.
The character relationship and plot development envisaged by Shu Zimu are very bloody. What I want to write is a story about the protagonist’s difficult revenge in a state of blindness. However, because of the characteristics of online articles, the feeling that Shu Zimu intends to write will not make readers feel too much. Difficult and aggrieved. Although the protagonist is taking revenge, he is also upgrading and becoming stronger at the same time. He also plans to assign a helper to the protagonist's revenge process, and this helper is none other than the "friend" he is grateful for but has to doubt. Because the protagonist is blind, the other party has not been discovered after changing his voice. In the later stage, when the protagonist investigates more and more things and becomes more and more familiar with the helper, he slowly begins to suspect.
These cases of extermination are obviously not simple vendettas. The protagonist bit by bit touches some secrets that can shake the martial arts world. Terrible organization. During this period, the protagonist's feelings for "friends" also went back and forth between trust and temptation, but they still unknowingly became life-and-death friends who cherish each other. After the protagonist unexpectedly regained his light, he didn't directly pierce the opponent's disguise, but pretended to be still blind, so the unilateral entanglement became two mutual concealment, suspicion, and temptation. Until the protagonist finally got the truth and confirmed that the other party was not the murderer of his family, so he took the initiative to clear up the previous suspicion with the other party, and the two cooperated in the final journey of revenge.
Shu Zimu thought about the general plot framework and shared it with Qi Yan. After listening to it, Qi Yan first expressed his approval without hesitation, then fell silent for a while, and asked, "Is your article still without CP?"
"Yes." Shu Zimu replied, "The fiancée died early in the morning."
Qi Yan was silent for a while, and said euphemistically: "According to what you said, the protagonist and his friend are so entangled in love and hate, it doesn't look like it's just friendship."
Shu Zimu: "..." Thinking about it, it seems a little bit.
