On Christmas morning, Chen He took Lin Zixuan to visit the city of London.??

She studied in London for two years and had some knowledge of the city's attractions. She was a fairly qualified tour guide.

The two took a boat to tour the Thames River and took some photos.

Perhaps because this is the last Christmas of the 20th century and the new century is about to usher in. Many celebrations were held everywhere in London, and the people were trapped in a carnival.

Lin Zixuan has passed the age of lofty and has no interest in the Christmas atmosphere.

Chen Lu is still young, full of youthful vitality, and is curious about the world.

The combination of the two is quite interesting, maybe it is the generation gap.

At the same time, "The Funeral of Big Names" was released in Beijing for five days, with a box office of over 3.8 million yuan, making it the most popular movie in Beijing this year, and the situation is very good.

Due to the full publicity in the early stage, the film round screenings were very popular, which made the cinema unexpected.

The audience is full and there are too many screenings. The number of copies in the Beijing area has increased to thirty. Feng Xiaogang's first three New Year's films are said to be no less popular in Shanghai than in Beijing.

In some theaters, audiences are queuing up to buy tickets, or even unable to buy movie tickets.

The theaters that were showing rounds have demanded that the screening schedule be extended.

The original round of screenings ended on January 3, and the theaters for the second round of screenings were still waiting, but these theaters requested to be extended to January 10 because the movie made money.

Beijing Xinyinglian Company is responsible for the film's trip in the Beijing area. They originally expected that the total box office of "The Funeral of Big Names" in Beijing would exceed 10 million.

Now they have raised their expectations, believing that the film's box office in Beijing will exceed at least 15 million.

This is a real box office. Haomeng Company did not use the means of consigning the venue to raise the box office. The audience went to the theater for the movie, not the task assigned by the above.

Of course, this does not mean that "The Funeral of Big Names" can have a box office of over 100 million like "Life and Death Choice".

First, the screening rate of "The Funeral of Big Names" in major theaters across the country is not high.

It may be popular in Beijing, but it is not optimistic in other cities. Without the support from above, you will not be able to get a high screening rate.

Secondly, the movie has been released for a limited time, only one and a half months, and it is impossible to be screened for four or five months.

Furthermore, it is difficult to get full without a unit booking the venue.

Therefore, it is not realistic to achieve a box office of over 100 million like "Life and Death Choice". According to internal estimates from Haomeng Company, the domestic box office of "The Funeral of Big Names" should be around 40 million.

If there is no pirated copy, the box office may exceed 60 million.

Feng Xiaogang was quite excited about such a hot start. He was taking the actors to promote in cities in the south.

They promoted and met and communicated with the audience, and the video generally had a good reputation among the audience.

Some viewers think that this movie is not like other New Year's films, and they forget it when they smile, but touch people, turning the funeral into a comedy. The strong contrast has a dramatic effect. The funeral becomes an advertisement and investment, which makes people feel fresh and interesting.

Some viewers also believe that the film has black humor, and using the mouths of mentally ill people to speak out the website, real estate is just a burning money, which satirizes many ridiculous things and many ridiculous people in society.

The lines in the movie have become the current buzzword, such as "not seeking the best, but seeking the most expensive".

Many film critics went against the norm and did not criticize Feng Xiaogang's new film, but instead gave affirmation.

Some film critics believe that "The Funeral of Big Names" has a strong sense of the times. This film carries a lot of social content and reveals and criticizes the current social situation. The plot seems absurd, but it is actually a portrayal of real life.

The word "玉" was a slander for bandits in the old society.

Now it has entered the music, film, sports, and even politics. It is not only a symbol of glory, but also a combination of money, interests and rights. Being famous has become a pursuit and fashion.

The movie uses the public's pursuit of big names to tell this ridiculous and thought-provoking story.

There is praise and criticism.

Some critics have focused on criticizing the ubiquitous implantable advertisements in the film, which is indeed a criticism.

Audiences will have a greater tolerance for implanted advertisements, while film critics denounce this as a harm to the art of film.

Feng Xiaogang was very calm during the interview and talked about this topic without any hesitation.

"I can't lose money when I shoot this film. I have an investment of 30 million and a promotion of 10 million. Such a large investment will definitely not be recovered by domestic box office alone. What can I do without advertising? I can't make the film company lose money. If I lose two or three films like this, the company will go bankrupt. Who will invest for me?" Feng Xiaogang said, "When I don't have to consider box office and investment, I can also make movies that satisfy the critics."

Feng Xiaogang is not the kind of director who regards art as a high-ranking director, and he doesn't mind talking about money directly.

Some directors are unwilling to talk about money and think it is vulgar, so the artist's affairs cannot be mixed with money.

Some film critics criticized Feng Xiaogang's New Year films for not making any breakthroughs, and were still the original routine, changing the soup without changing the medicine.

"Everyone is talking about breakthroughs. You need to make breakthroughs when making movies. It must be different. No repetition, and there is artistic pursuit. The audience does not care whether you break through or not. The audience requires good looks. If you break through to the point where the audience doesn't know you, the audience will say why I'm coming to see you?" Feng Xiaogang retorted.

This movie is popular with the audience because it is closely related to the lives of ordinary people, not because of its artistic nature.

Feng Xiaogang knew what the audience wanted to see, and recorded social phenomena in plain language without any decoration, which was mixed with a little ridicule, resentment, and even contempt for the powerful.

To put it simply, this is a popular movie, which is made for the people.

After receiving the news of the domestic movie box office, Lin Zixuan went to attend the reading club of the Book Fan Club.

Chen Lu was still following him in a wizard robe.

At the reading party, Lin Zixuan needed to read the chapters in "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure" and communicate with book fans.

The publisher hopes that he can read aloud in English and that British book fans can understand it. This requirement is not an exaggeration, but Lin Zixuan insists on reading aloud.

This time I came to the UK to cooperate with the publishing house without encountering big trouble, but there were many minor problems.

Just like at the signing meeting, the publisher suggested that Lin Zixuan use English signature, which is the Chinese pinyin of his name, which is the same as the author's name in the English version of the book.

Lin Zixuan did not agree and still used his signature.

When he encountered this problem at the reading party, Lin Zixuan thought of a compromise method. When he read aloud, Chen Lu continued to read it again in English.

The two cooperated to complete this exchange activity. (To be continued.)8
