Just a week before the movie was about to be released, the publicity department released a poster again, and this time there was only one poster character.

Supreme Treasure knelt on the stone table, holding a pair of golden hoops in his hand, as if he was about to wear them on his head, but his expression was very hesitant and struggling, as if he was trapped in a difficult choice, but his eyes revealed a hint of perseverance, as if he had already made a decision in his heart.

#How can you obtain both Dharmas in the world, and live up to the Tathagata and never let you down.

This Zen-full poem reveals a helpless sadness, beautiful and sad poem that stirs up waves again. This time many people believe a conclusion, that is, this "A Chinese Odyssey" is likely to be a tragedy.

"With such sad pictures and sentences, I dare to say that I am a comedy. Isn't this tricking me into killing me?"

"The core of comedy is tragedy, and this wave of Xu Wenruo is really on the fifth level."

"Yes, how can I get the two Dharmas in the world that I can live up to the Tathagata and never let you down? Just say this, I have to watch this movie."

"People who can be touched by a word are all people with stories. That's what I am like. Even if I have missed some things, I am still very sad when I think about them."

"I think this must be a sad and beautiful story, which was portrayed by Xu Wenruo in a comedy way. I can't wait now and want to see what this movie is like."

The two promotional posters with exquisite copywriting have set off a huge public opinion storm online. Xu Wenruo's new movie itself is very popular. With such topical copywriting publicity, almost in late July, "A Chinese Odyssey" was everywhere on the Internet.

Even if people who didn't know Xu Wenruo very well before were attracted by these two sentences, they decided to contribute a movie ticket to this movie.

Even a well-known e-sports player regarded the previous slogan as his signature. Because he was too literary and sad, he was so sarcastic that his team members were sarcastic every day, but they had actually decided to watch this "A Chinese Odyssey" in their spare time.

As time goes by, the day of August 1 is getting closer and closer, and the popularity of online discussions is getting higher and higher. Just in the last week, the pre-sale films in the theater have already come out.

Since there are not many blockbusters this summer, coupled with Xu Wenruo's previous movie, "A Chinese Odyssey" easily achieved a very high screening volume, and all the theaters gave 60% of the weight.

Moreover, the pre-sale of the movie is even more exciting. The number of shows on August 1st was basically full, and the attendance rate in the next few days was also good. The entire pre-sale box office had exceeded 200 million yuan.

As soon as this news came out, the industry was in an uproar. You should know that this was a pre-sale box office. The movie had not been broadcast yet. It had sold 200 million yuan against Xu Wenruo's fame and reputation. This result was even a goal that some movies could not achieve in a month, but "A Chinese Odyssey" was obtained before it was released.

Everyone at Xingxun Pictures was very excited about this achievement because they really saw hope of breaking the record. Although this movie was not shot by them, they were also responsible for promoting and distributing the movie, so it was a privilege.

Not only Xingxun Pictures, but also many theaters have discussed continuing to increase the number of screenings when they see this pre-sale box office. They have confirmed that "A Chinese Odyssey" is the biggest overlord of this summer season and is likely to create a new box office record.

What's more, these theaters are not monolithic, and they are also competitive. If the screening volume of one theater is low, or there is no "A Chinese Odyssey" at a certain period of time, then the audience will choose to go to another theater. For the audience, there is not only one theater, so why wait for so long and change to another theater?

Therefore, many theaters choose to give up those small movies and choose to focus on "American Journey". If you can ensure that there are screenings for "American Journey" all the time, then when the box office of "American Journey" really explodes, Xu Wenruo can eat meat and these theaters can also drink soup, which is a happy thing.

Even if there are problems with the box office and reputation of "A Chinese Odyssey", these theaters can adjust in time. Therefore, betting on "A Chinese Odyssey" is a deal that will make a lot of money if you win or lose. Therefore, many theaters are flocking to it. Without the market test, the screening volume of "A Chinese Odyssey" has increased by ten percentage points again.

On August 1st, the Chongwen Cinema in Beijing.

The theater with lanterns looks full of atmosphere. This is the second time that Xu Wenruo has come to the largest theater in Beijing. Thanks to his last cooperation, Xingxun Pictures still chose this film for the premiere. I wonder if I want to get along with the joy of the previous movie.

However, compared with the premiere of Xu Wenruo's friends in the circle last time, the premiere this time was full of stars. In order to get a good start, Xingxun Pictures sent invitations to all the stars in the circle. It is obvious that Xingxun Pictures wants to show its existence.

Many celebrities were invited to come not only for the sake of Xingxun Pictures, but no matter how strong Xingxun Pictures is, it is just a small-scale company in the film and television industry. Even with the support of large groups behind it, they have not been able to make any amazing movies in the past two years.

That is, watching Xu Wenruo's movies this year can make you gain a foothold in the film and television industry. Who is the credit for the movie box office record that can now hit the record of movies? These stars are actually very clear. Many of them come for Xu Wenruo's name. If you want to meet this talented new director, you may be able to work together later.

Besides, attending a movie premiere with such a high popularity is not a matter of losing face. Instead, it can increase your popularity, so why not do it?

Therefore, during the premiere of the movie, there were many stars that Xu Wenruo never knew but were very enthusiastic about him, which made Xu Wenruo feel very awkward and even felt uncomfortable all over.

In this hypocritical atmosphere, Xu Wenruo felt that he was out of place and could not even speak out the words of business hype. Therefore, Xu Wenruo could only maintain his cold personality and be cold to those who wanted to come forward to say hello.

However, even though Xu Wenruo had a cold face, many people continued to come to him to be polite. These people who pursue fame and fortune made Xu Wenruo see the authenticity of the entertainment industry again. It is not wrong to say that it is a fame and fortune fair.

Just when Xu Wenruo felt tired, Mr. Wang, who was full of energy, suddenly came to Xu Wenruo and suddenly said a few words in his ear. Xu Wenruo's expression was full of surprise.

"He's here too?"

"Yes, I just sent an invitation as usual, and I didn't expect that his old man would come."

"Then I'd better go and welcome it, don't lose your etiquette."

Xu Wenruo followed Mr. Wang to the entrance of the cinema and happened to see an old man in his sixties, but he was in good spirits and was full of energy while walking, without any sign of old age. After seeing Xu Wenruo and Mr. Wang, the old man showed a kind smile on his face.

"San Master, you are here. Our premiere today is really shining."

"I happened to come and have a look today and get to know our new director casually. This is Xiao Xu, the younger generation is so terrifying."

"You have been too much of a prize. Compared to you, I am not worth mentioning."

Xu Wenruo's attitude is very respectful. After all, the one standing in front of him is an old senior and has a very high status. As the chairman of China Film Group, he is definitely a person at the top of the film and television industry.

"Let's go in and take a look first."

Third Master was following a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance. Xu Wenruo was not too important before, but when he followed Third Master into the theater, he walked to the middle-aged man behind him and turned around and saw that he was the famous director Ma.

The rude director just followed the third master obediently, and even made Xu Wenruo not pay too much attention. But no matter what, this director Ma came to attend the premiere of his movie, and Xu Wenruo had to say hello no matter how he said.

"Director Ma, thank you for your support."

The famous director in the circle glanced at Xu Wenruo, then nodded at him, without saying anything more. Looking at Director Ma's attitude, Xu Wenruo frowned slightly.

It is obvious that this director Ma's attitude towards Xu Wenruo is not very friendly. Perhaps the older generation of directors will not be too friendly to newcomers like Xu Wenruo who suddenly emerge. It would be nice to give them a good face, especially with Xu Wenruo's box office results, their attitudes will definitely be even worse.

This is actually human nature. After all, a new person suddenly emerges in the industry you work hard for, and his grades are better than you. Few people can maintain a normal mentality.

Seeing Director Ma's appearance, Xu Wenruo also put his hot face on his cold butt, so the two fell into silence again. The third master who was walking in front seemed to hear the movement behind him, then looked back and smiled at the two of them, so he called Xu Wenruo to his side.

"Xiao Xu, today is the premiere of your movie. I'll tell me about the psychological journey of schedule this movie later."

"Then please give me advice later."

Everyone came to the middle of the second row, which was already the best place for viewing guests. Xu Wenruo sat next to the third master, and Director Ma naturally sat on the other side, while Mr. Wang returned to the door to continue to entertain the invited stars.

When he left, he was very excited. After all, the famous third master in the circle came to support this movie. As the publisher of the movie, he got a lot of face today. In the future, Xingxun Pictures will have a place in the film and television industry. Of course, they still have to maintain a relationship with Xu Wenruo.

After Mr. Wang left, the third master began to ask Xu Wenruo about his mental journey of filming this movie. When he heard that the movie was released in the upper and lower parts, the third master frowned, as if he thought Xu Wenruo's method was not very good.

Seeing this, Xu Wenruo could only explain with a wry smile that the third master was a person who came from the barbaric period and had a deep understanding of the chaos in the film market back then. Therefore, he was a little disgusted with Xu Wenruo's way of buying a movie into two.

"I was just planning to make a movie, but after I finished writing the script, I found that there were too many plots and there were not many cuts, so I could only divide them into upper and lower parts."

"After the final shooting, the total length of the two movies is nearly four hours. If it is compressed into one movie, within two hours, it will be equivalent to destroying the movie, so it can only be released in the upper and lower parts."

After hearing Xu Wenruo's explanation, the third master's frown relaxed. If he had to divide it into two movies because the plot was too long, it would be understandable.

"Director Xu is really good at making money. He bought two movies for one movie. This is a big profit. I will teach me in the future."

I don’t know if it was simply because he didn’t like Xu Wenruo or because he was born with a sarcastic tongue. After hearing Xu Wenruo’s explanation, Director Ma, who was sitting next to him, said sarcastic words from the side.

"Actually, I'm not interested in money."

"Whether a movie can make money depends on whether the audience can buy it or not. If you can make money by simply dividing it into two movies, then there will be no more money-losing movies. The final box office of a movie is still based on quality. If you want to deceive the audience, it is difficult to achieve a high box office."

Faced with Director Ma's ridicule, Xu Wenruo also looked at him coldly. Even though he is a well-known veteran director in the circle, Xu Wenruo still won't spoil him and argues when he should. Xu Wenruo doesn't rely on him for a meal, and the plump Xu Wenruo is not very afraid of targeting him.

"You are right. No matter what, the most important thing about a movie is the quality. As for the box office, let the audience choose. Being able to make movies that the audience likes is the pursuit of us, and the younger generation is terrifying!"

When he heard Xu Wenruo's more pragmatic words, he recalled the information collected by Xu Wenruo before. The third master looked at Xu Wenruo with appreciation. This is indeed a talented but down-to-earth young man. This sentence is terrifying to the young, which is definitely from the third master's sincerity.

Even though he expressed his appreciation for Xu Wenruo, the Third Master did not adjust the conflict between Director Ma and Xu Wenruo. As an old man who came through the storm and waves, he understood that the conflict between Director Ma was definitely not a contradiction that could be resolved by one sentence or two sentences.

To put it more deeply, this is the contradiction between the old and the newcomer in the film and television industry. Not only is Xu Wenruo and Director Ma’s tit-for-tat confrontation now, but this contradiction has always existed for ten or twenty years, and Director Ma was even the newcomer who resisted his predecessors on the spot.
