Chapter 303: National Day

The matter had been fermenting for less than a day.

Li Chen received many calls seeking peace.

For example, Chen Baoguo, the leading actor of "The Ming Dynasty" and "The Sound of Wind".

Li Xuejian from Shoplifters.

Yang Siwei also called, and Wang Jingyan also gave in.

Li Chen didn't pay much attention to this at all.

The 29th is the first day of the National Day holiday.

"Keep Talking", which was released nationwide yesterday, only grossed 455 million on the first day.

The box office is comparable to the postponed "Draw the Bow".

This result can only be described as average.

But it stands out among the four Hong Kong films released in September.

But the slogan of over 100 million shouted before is just a joke, no one should take it seriously.

During this National Day holiday, "Li Mi's Conjecture" has been abandoned by theaters in advance.

The final box office revenue was reported at 1100 million.

Zhou Xun also became a hot topic during this National Day holiday.

Because the pre-sale box office of another movie "The Sound of Wind" has exceeded 2850 million.

If Li Chen remembers correctly, in the National Day holiday of 08 in his previous life, "Painted Skin" pushed "Li Mi's Conjecture" to two extremes in box office.

In this life, "Painted Skin" was released ahead of schedule, and what a coincidence it also coincided with the release of "The Sound of the Wind"!
Zhou Xun also complained that Li Chen shouldn't release "The Whistleblower" during the National Day holiday.

Let Miss Zhou have one foot in heaven and one foot in hell.

But if the main theme is not played during the National Day holiday, where will it be played?
This is the same reason why "Draw the Bow" was put on the summer schedule, following the right time and coordinating with the right people.

Sina Entertainment News

"The first domestic main theme spy film, The Sound of Wind, will be released nationwide today."

"The reporter called Rongchen Pictures' publicity director Yu Miao, who said that the choice of the National Day slot for The Whistleblower had special significance."

"The country's prosperity today is the result of the sacrifices of countless people with lofty ideals."

"This production of The Sound of Wind is a tribute to the martyrs, whether it is the actors, the plot or the production team."

"Rongchen Pictures strives to achieve perfection. It and Director Tian Zhuangzhuang's "The Hidden" will definitely become two monuments of domestic film and television spy war films."

In addition to the three major portals, CCTV’s official website also posted the poster and screening information of "The Whistleblower".

The Sixth Princess will also be showing the behind-the-scenes footage of "The Sound of Wind" continuously over the seven days of National Day.

"Brother, the National Day period has really become Li Chen's world." Wang Zhonglei said with emotion.

Chen Musheng's 4500 million-cost "Keep Talking" did not pose any threat to the 9000 million-cost "The Whistleblower".

The first day's box office of several million was slightly lower than that of the postponed "The Bow".

"This is called stealing a chicken but losing the rice, but Li Chen is indeed courageous."

"We spent 9000 million to make a mainstream film, although the pre-sale box office was indeed impressive."

"But the next big test is word of mouth, and Li Chen dared to be the first to try it."

"As long as there is no 'allergy', we can follow their example next time." Wang Zhongjun said by analogy.

The unanimous opinion among industry insiders is that "The Whistleblower" will dominate the National Day holiday.

Many enterprises and institutions have already purchased group tickets.

Especially during the National Day holiday, cinemas also offer half-price promotions.

The entire National Day file, except for yesterday's "Keep Talking".

There is also the imported comedy "Heroes of Gaul" released today, and Fan Wei's first comedy "Departure Today" released tomorrow!
However, these few films obviously cannot pose a threat to the blockbuster "The Sound of Wind".

Not to mention the production cost, just the unparalleled star flavor of "The Sound of Wind" is impressive.

Even if we look at the entire history of Chinese-language films, there are only a handful of such examples.

Wanda’s boss Wang also called.

"You are a dishonest person. Wanda was not involved in "Draw the Bow"." "Wanda was not involved in "The Sound of Wind" either."

"I am the only one who treats you as a partner? What do you regard Wanda as? Is Wanda not as close as China Film Group?"

"Wanda has spared no effort in supporting you. I have given you a lot, so you should return the favor!"

Li Chen laughed and said, "For a mainstream movie like The Sound of Wind, no one knows what it will look like after it's made."

"If we lose money, it's my family's business, including 'Draw the Bow', which is a new theme."

“Huayi, Guangguang and most people in the industry were not optimistic at first.”

"I'm afraid Ye Ning is the same. I can't force Wanda to be the scapegoat, right?"

Boss Wang has actually already called Ye Ning.

Ye Ning did not expect that the box office and pre-sale box office of these two new themes would be so popular.

Big Boss Wang laughed: "I have said hello to Ye Ning."

"From now on, Wanda will follow your company's projects regardless of whether they make money or lose money."

Li Chen also laughed: "You said that as if Rongchen Pictures had lost a lot of money."

After hanging up the phone, Li Chen looked at the reports on the Internet and found that many theaters had adjusted the screening rate of "The Sound of Wind" to 65%!

In the afternoon, there were many comments online.

"It is true that after The Sound of Wind, there is no more legend in the world"

"The acting of all the actors is superb! Even Su Youpeng and Zhu Yawen are eye-catching."

“The best mainstream movie! The pinnacle of mainstream movies, nothing can compare to it!”

“The best domestic group drama!”

"Manshen and Mr. Zhou are so intimate, is this a continuation of their past relationship after five years?"

"Li Ningyu, I love you"

"At this time of national survival, we have no choice but to shoulder our responsibilities!"

Among all the actors, Zhu Yawen is the most trembling one.

After all, the Japanese character he played was a sinister and vicious one.

But I didn’t expect that he received such good reviews online.

On the set of Love Is Not Blind, Yang Siwei said with a smile: "Are you relieved now?"

Zhu Yawen was trimming her nails and said to Yang Siwei in a coquettish voice, "Director Li is directing, so why would I be worried?"

On September 9, the first day box office of "The Whistleblower" was released: 30 million.

It accounted for 70% of the total box office on the National Day.

China Film Report
"According to an official from China Film Group, the producer of The Whistleblower, The Whistleblower grossed 3425 million yuan on its first day."

"It not only set a single-day box office record for mainstream films, but also broke the first-day box office record just set by "Draw the Bow"."

Sohu Entertainment News

"The reporter interviewed Mr. Lu from Beijing New Film Union Cinema Line. Mr. Lu revealed that The Sound of Wind could break the first-day box office record of The Bow."

"It benefited from the National Day holiday and an all-star cast with excellent acting skills. After all, "Draw the Bow" was released on a normal day."

"Mr. Lu also predicted that "Draw the Bow" and "The Sound of Wind" are very likely to be the first and second place in the domestic film box office this year."

The happiest person was Han Sanping.

"Draw the Bow" and "The Sound of Wind" are his two masterpieces after he took over.

Making money is secondary. The most important thing is to give him more say in the bureau.

It feels like being the best among the Six Gates.

Ren Zhonglun of Shanghai Film Studio could only stare blankly.

"Judging from today's situation, The Whistleblower can stand on its own just by word of mouth. My previous worries were completely unnecessary!"

Li Chen said objectively, "Boss Han, the main reason is that there are no blockbusters that can compete with us during this period."
