The time has entered mid-January.

This year’s Spring Festival is much earlier than in previous years.

in previous years.

The Spring Festival usually falls in early February, but this year’s Spring Festival falls on January 21st.

With only eight or nine days until the first day of the Lunar New Year, the movies scheduled for the first day of the Lunar New Year are being promoted in full swing. The most popular one is "Alien 2". This movie started to be pre-heated last month.

And it has been released abroad for a long time, although the reputation seems not to be very good.

This may be a deliberate smear campaign by Hong Kong City Production Company to reduce the audience's attention to "Alien 2".

But the effect doesn't seem to be very good.

After all, the box office is there.

It has been released abroad for such a long time, and the box office has been incredibly stable, not inferior to the first "Alien" in the slightest.

First day of release.

The foreign single-day box office revenue exceeded 50 million US dollars.

It still exceeded 50 million on the second day, and the box office in two days was 100 million US dollars. If it was only two days, it would not be able to prove the strength of this movie. The key is that "Alien 2" still made 10 million US dollars at the box office by the eighth weekend.

When it was finally released, it earned more than $600 million in box office in the local market alone.

How much is it equivalent to RMB!?

It is hundreds of millions higher than the combined box office of the films directed by Directors Du Feng and Zuo last year.

As for the global release date, it is also set on the first day of the Lunar New Year. From this point, it is not difficult to see that the director James and the investment company behind "Alien 2" have designated this place as the second largest ticket warehouse, and it is bound to be popular in the Lunar New Year.

On the first day of the new year, we will sweep through the movies released in Hong Kong City.

Maybe they felt the pressure brought by this giant crocodile. When January just started, some crews couldn't wait to promote it.

Zhou Yu, Chen Jiahui's father-in-law, is no exception.

He treated James to several meals, and after finishing the meal, he spent money to post it on trending searches.

Then.

“James is full of praise for ‘Crazy Diamonds’”

"James was stunned by the cleverness of 'Crazy Diamonds'"

Slogans like this appear one after another on hot searches.

As for whether the international director has said this, everyone in the industry knows it well. At that time, "Crazy Diamond" had just been filmed and the film had not yet been released. Why was James so full of praise and why was it so cleverly conceived?

shock!?

There is a bottom line to exaggeration.

Only Zhou Yu can do such a shameless thing.

The key is that he treated James to several meals in advance. They all say that eating people is short of mouth and short of hands. Naturally, it is not easy for James to come out and say something like "I haven't seen it."

Just at a press conference.

The great director cleverly made a joke and said, "Mr. Zhou is very humorous."

A reporter asked what the humor method was, but James didn't answer. Anyway, Zhou Yu invited him to dinner later, and the international director refused because of his busy work schedule.

He probably also knows what director Zhou, who is known as the godfather of Hong Kong City, pays attention to. A comedy film with an investment of 100 million actually wants to take advantage of the popularity of "Alien 2", which has an investment of more than 2 billion and is the ceiling for special effects films.

What is this if not humor!?

It was so humorous that James didn't even eat his free lunch.

However, after being rejected by James, Zhou Yu's promotions continued.

His promotion method is simple and crude...and very shameless, but that's okay. Promotion depends on different methods. He wants both face and box office. How is it possible!? So his promotional slogan is like this.

"The famous director Zhou Yu spent ten years sharpening his sword, and one sword shines in nineteen states"

If you rely on this sentence alone.

You might have thought that he spent ten years polishing it, but in fact the script was plagiarized by Chen Jiahui and given to him.

So his "ten years of sharpening a sword" is so watery that it can drown people.

In addition to promoting yourself.

"Famous director Zhou Yu, best screenwriter Chen Jiahui, comedy genius Charlotte, the three golden giants join forces to present "Crazy Diamond", which will make you laugh out loud"

"As thieves, we are very professional"

"This New Year's Day is different because of "Crazy Diamond"

"The crew also has Easter eggs, can you guess it!?"

"Chen Jiahui returns to the big screen after "My Love from the Star"

Various promotional slogans appeared on bus stops, in advertising spaces in buildings, and even on iconic buildings in Hong Kong City, Zhou Yu found a connection to put up a promotional poster.

Naturally, Charlotte is the main fan.

And Chen Jiahui, a guest actor who didn't get any pay, was actually placed in the second episode by his father-in-law.

If only that was it.

The person standing at the end of the cast is actually Zhou Yu himself. On the poster, although he is standing at the very back, the cast is arranged from bottom to top. Especially Zhou Yu has stretched out his arms, as if he includes all the actors on the poster.

What is this called!?

It definitely surpasses Charlotte.

If I didn't know he was the director, I would have thought he was the male lead.

As a director, Zhou Yu seems to want to be as popular as an actor, and actually went to the stage himself to grab the spot.

Compare with Zhou Yu.

The publicity of Chen Jiahui's nominal wife, Director Zhou, is much simpler.

certainly.

This may be due to her financial difficulties.

A short video.

Someone asked this question.

"Director Zhou, how is the quality of "Love Tomorrow"!?"

Director Zhou did not answer directly.

Instead, he took out a piece of white paper with the answer written on it. There were only two concise words on it.

"Very high".

If it were the Earth, some netizens would definitely ask "How high is it or is it as high as a three-story building?"

Next came another question, "Director Zhou, there are many movies released during the Spring Festival this year, do you feel any pressure!?"

Director Zhou took out a blank piece of paper again.

It says, "Only when you have pressure can you be motivated. I am not afraid of pressure because "Love Tomorrow" gives me a lot of confidence."

Another question.

"Director Zhou, how much do you expect the box office of "Love Tomorrow" will be!?"

In video.

Director Zhou took out a blank piece of paper and the answer was still on it.

“The more the merrier”

"Finally, what does Director Zhou want to say to the audience!?"

This time, Director Zhou did not show any pretense and took out the white paper with the answer written on it. Facing the camera, the corners of her mouth thickened, showing a gentle smile, and said, "Let's all watch "Love Tomorrow"."

At the end of the short video.

Director Zhou seemed to be unkind and added, "My dear fans."

When he said this, no one knew what Director Zhou was thinking.

But she definitely wants movie fans to pay for it.

I don’t know if Director Zhou spent money to buy traffic or if she is really popular. As soon as this video was published, it quickly accumulated more than 200,000 likes, more than 50,000 comments, and 80,000 to 90,000 collections.

Just open the comment area.

You will know immediately that Director Zhou is pouring water.

Many people in the entire comment area are like, "Director Zhou is so beautiful."

This may be true.

After all, Director Zhou's appearance is not too much compared to that of a popular female artist, but she is a director.
