Chapter 197 Lu Man: Chen Yan, I want you to kneel on the ground and meow
This shows that Lu Man was pulled into the group after the movie became popular.
According to the shrewd nature of those people in the entertainment industry, everyone must have known that Lu Man had joined the group. That's why there was such flattering praise.
A billion box office?
They really dare to brag...
A box office of one billion would rank 50th or top 40 in the box office history list.
You have to know that after so many years of development of domestic films, there are hundreds of thousands of films, but only a few dozen of them stand out.
This requires the quality of the film, the actors, the publicity, and even the luck to be all good. And it also requires that the [film genre] is a popular genre!
With the genre of "Love Is Not Blind", it is impossible to reach such a height.
So they are just bragging.
Only Lu Man fell for this. If it were someone else, they would have been embarrassed long ago.
Chen Yan looked at Lu Man, who was holding his head high like a proud little lion, and couldn't help but smile.
With this girl's narcissism, she would probably brag that she is the most beautiful woman in the world. She would happily say that the other person has good taste.
While "blackmailing" Lu Man, Chen Yan also looked at other private chats and groups.
I found that most of them were just mindlessly praising Lu Man.
What... [Sister Man's acting is amazing! The box office will definitely exceed 600 million! ]
What... [Sister Man has surpassed two emperors and one queen by herself! She will definitely be the best actress this year! ]
What... [Sister Man's new company will probably become a giant in the industry soon! ]
Some people also talked about Chen Yan, [I didn't expect Mr. Chen to have such a good vision that he could choose Sister Man, a pearl. So many people didn't think highly of Sister Man at the beginning, but it was his vision! ]
Well... okay... this seems to be a different way of praising Lu Man.
Looking at all those compliments, for a moment, Chen Yan almost thought that this movie was brought to fame by Lu Man.
It turns out that flattery can dazzle people's eyes.
If I... open a small account, join some groups or people in the entertainment industry, and listen to them flattering me every day.
That……
It should be really cool.
After looking at the flattery for a while, Chen Yan smiled and returned the phone to Lu Man.
Lu Man took the phone and said to Chen Yan proudly, "How is it! Are they all praising me?"
Chen Yan nodded and joked, "Yes. If I hadn't known that we were just making a movie, I would have almost thought you saved the world."
Lu Man snorted softly, "You are jealous."
Chen Yan picked up a pen and continued to revise the plan while retorting, "Yes, yes. I'm jealous that you can get 500 million at the box office."
Lu Man's thinking is indeed different from that of ordinary people. When she heard Chen Yan's "taunting" like this, she was not annoyed or angry. Instead, she asked, "How much box office do I get that will make you jealous of me?"
Chen Yan looked up at her, pretended to think seriously, and said, "At least the total amount must exceed 10 billion."
Lu Man immediately gained confidence, "Okay! It's a deal! When my box office reaches 10 billion, you can say you are jealous of me!"
Chen Yan smiled and felt that Lu Man was sometimes really cute like a child.
Then, he heard Lu Man say, "Besides! You have to take it off until you are left with only your underwear, meow meow!"
After hearing the second half of Lu Man's words, Chen Yan said:...
He looked at Lu Man feeling a little guilty, but Lu Man bared her two little canine teeth and looked at Chen Yan with a fierce look, as if she would bite Chen Yan if he didn't accept it!
Chen Yan couldn't help but think of what happened between him and Lu Man a month ago after he drank the [Imagination Potion] ...
At that time, Chen Yan had just used [Xiao Ha's Polaroid Photo Paper] to verify the potential of "Clay Man Elimination Tournament". He was immediately filled with motivation!
Because he discovered that this game was actually the kind of game that could become a huge hit!
This is simply a great gift given to him by his boss Qiaoqiao (the inspiration for this game comes from Qiaoqiao)!
Therefore, Chen Yan immediately became excited and drank the [Imagination Potion] on the spot, wanting to improve his imagination and plan some interesting levels!
Knowing that the potion had side effects, Chen Yan did not dare to go out after drinking it and just stayed at home reading.
But I don’t know whether it takes time for the potion to take effect, or it requires some stimulation. Anyway, after Chen Yan drank the potion, he didn’t feel any changes.
The most I feel is that when I read, my brain seems to become more flexible and I can imagine those scenes.
So, gradually, he lost his vigilance.
I just stayed at home for a whole day.
In the evening, Lu Man called him and said that Qiaoqiao had returned to the orphanage today and was not in the villa. She was alone in the villa and felt a little bored, so she asked him to come to the villa and play with her.
Chen Yan refused at first.
But I can’t help it... this little devil Lu Man is so charming.
All kinds of inducements to trouble, all kinds of bean selection, all kinds of drinks.
Chen Yan couldn't control himself, so he ran to the villa.
When they first arrived at the villa, Chen Yan was actually quite normal and was chatting and laughing with Lu Man.
But as their actions became more and more ambiguous, he gradually realized that something was wrong.
Because he found that his mind was particularly active, and there were always some wild ideas in his mind...
For example, let Lu Man play the kidnapped investigator.
For example, let Lu Man play the role of a student with poor academic performance.
For example, let Lu Man play the role of a female secretary who did something wrong...
Anyway, they are not serious characters.
In fact, if he was the only one who was crazy, it would be okay.
But who is Lu Man? She is just an acting genius!
And what kind of personality is she? She is a person who never gives up!
The moment Chen Yan started to act, was it possible that she would not accept it?!
So, the villa suddenly became a small stage, and the two actors began their performances on it.
Fortunately, Lu Man's favorability towards Chen Yan was high enough, so even though some of Chen Yan's behavior crossed the line but had not yet reached the last step, Lu Man still accepted it.
Until the end...
When Chen Yan's imagination flew so far that ten horses couldn't stop it, he held Qiaoqiao's beloved cat: Marshmallow as a "gun" and "forced" Lu Man to take off everything except her stockings, kneeling on the ground and meowing.
Lu Mancai felt that Chen Yan was a little abnormal.
So she took off her stockings and tied up Chen Yan...
But... since then, Lu Man has been completely addicted to this thing of stripping down to nothing but stockings.
When I have nothing to do, I'm thinking about asking Chen Yan to perform for me...
…
Recalling the shameful incident a month ago, Chen Yan glanced at Lu Man with a guilty conscience, and then changed the subject as he always did, "Ahem. Manman. I want to tell you something. Actually, there might be problems with the box office of your movie later on."
When Lu Man heard Chen Yan talking about his "masterpiece", the topic was diverted. She retracted her two small canine teeth and looked at Chen Yan worriedly, "Why?"
Chen Yan closed the game plan in his hand, then took out the information about "23 Days of Broken Love" and showed it to Lu Man.
"Look. Actually, the three-day weekend box office boom was only due to the pre-promotion and the holiday bonus."
"After the Singles' Day holiday atmosphere is over, people will no longer go to the movies together, and the box office of the movie will probably drop sharply."
Lu Man asked in surprise, "Really?"
Chen Yan nodded, "Yes."
As he spoke, he patted his legs seriously and said, "Come, sit here, I will explain it to you in detail."
…
At the same time, Chen Yan was not the only one who discovered this problem.
Xu Group, Chairman’s Office.
Brothers Xu Zhaorong and Xu Zhaoqing, as well as Director Zhang, were having a small meeting there.
Looking at the comparison of box office figures over the past few days on the table, both Xu Zhaoqing and Director Zhang looked a little unhappy.
It’s a slap in the face, it’s really a slap in the face!
It was they who had vowed to ban Lu Man before, and it was also they who later made multiple attempts to target Chenlu Pictures.
And they were the ones who clamored in the industry to abort Morning Dew Pictures’ first film!
As a result...Morning Dew Pictures delivered such an outstanding answer!
Two hundred million in three days! The final box office is likely to reach five hundred million!
Half of the year has passed, and based on this performance, this movie is likely to rank in the top 10 of the year!
When they thought of this, both of them felt pain on their faces.
Xu Zhaorong might have been mentally prepared, so there was no sign of anything unusual on his face.
The three of them were silent for a while, and then Director Zhang said, "Boss Rong, this movie is so popular, is there really no way we can suppress it?"
Xu Zhaorong shook his head and said slowly, "It can't be suppressed."
"Now this movie has become the annual hit, and all theaters and platforms are counting on this movie for their last meal of the year."
"They have become a group of interested parties and cannot be moved."
Director Zhang said unwillingly, "Are we just going to sit back and watch them become big hits at the box office?"
Xu Zhaorong was silent for a while, then said, "The situation is irreversible. Now we can only wait for them to make mistakes. We can't move. The more we move, the more passive we will become."
His brother continued, "But they are doing so well at the box office, how could they make mistakes?"
Xu Zhaorong smiled and said, "It is precisely because their box office momentum is so good that they may have ignored the crisis that will come next."
Xu Zhaoqing asked curiously, "Crisis?"
Xu Zhaorong nodded, "Yes."
"For example, there is a reason why their films became so popular in the first three days of their premiere. They chose the right time slot and did a great job in promotion. As a result, audiences flocked to watch their films."
"But don't forget, the festival is almost over, and the trend of going to see Lovelorn in groups is about to stop."
"If they don't make a good plan for the follow-up promotion, their box office is likely to plummet."
Hearing what Xu Zhaorong said, Xu Zhaoqing and Director Zhang's eyes lit up...
…
At the same time, Chen Yan hugged Lu Man who was sitting on his right leg and asked, "How is it? Do you know the crisis we are in now?"
Lu Man's face turned red, and she glared at him angrily with her little fangs bared.
Chen Yan solemnly took his left hand from under Lu Man's skirt, hid it behind his back and rubbed it gently. His fingers were sticky and exuded a faint fragrance...
