Liu Yifei had never seen Lin Feng so excited before. It seemed like nothing was a big deal to him, and he did everything in an orderly manner, which made her very curious.
Then Liu Yifei put down the opening day box office results she was so excited about and asked curiously, "Lin Feng, whose phone call was that? It made you so excited. We've known each other for so long, and this is the first time I've ever seen you so excited."
"It's nothing, it's just a call from my college class teacher, Cui Xinqin. This is the first time she's called me since I graduated. She said I did a good job this time, hehe."
"Professor Cui Xinqin? I attended her classes in university. She's indeed a very dedicated and responsible teacher. It seems you have a good relationship with her; she still thinks of you so much!"
"It's alright! Maybe she felt I didn't disappoint her."
"Disappointed? Lin Feng, you've only been out of school for a little over a year, right? Your current achievements are something that many people who have graduated for many years, or even many people who have spent their entire lives, cannot achieve!"
If this isn't success, then what are we? To be honest, you're the first person I've ever met who seems so unfathomable!
"What about Leon Lai? And what about Huang Qiusheng and Zhang Hanyu? Are their acting skills bad? Are their acting careers unsuccessful?"
"Of course they are very good, but they are definitely not as good as you at your age. And how old are you? I hope you will surpass them in the future."
Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei is quite worldly-wise. Her flattery is actually quite pleasant, especially since it's from "Fairy Sister" Liu Yifei, which makes Lin Feng feel a bit elated.
However, one can't just accept flattery all the time. Lin Feng was more concerned about the opening day box office of "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen". He wanted to know as soon as possible how this film, which he had put so much effort into, would perform. He was even a little nervous.
For his first film, "Buddha Mountain," Lin Feng was a newcomer, and Fan Binbin was the main force behind the box office. Moreover, "Buddha Mountain" was an art film, and box office performance was not an important metric for a movie. Therefore, Lin Feng did not need to be too nervous.
The second film, "Love is Not Blind," was an improvement upon the previous film, including its promotion and marketing. Moreover, audiences didn't have high expectations for the film, so Lin Feng wasn't nervous at all; he was more excited. He gave everyone a surprise, which was indeed a very big one.
This third film, "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen," is different. It was a big-budget commercial blockbuster from the start, with equally high promotional costs. Lin Feng was nervous because "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen" was a box office flop in its previous life, while his two previous films, "Buddha Mountain" and "Love is Not Blind," were both successful. Although Lin Feng's personal performance was recognized, he also wanted to gain recognition from the film's box office performance. He wanted to see if his participation could change the fate of "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen" being a box office flop.
Lin Feng, still slightly nervous, asked, "Sissi, haven't the opening day box office figures for 'The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen' come out yet? Why don't we just ask the director and producer? It's impossible that they haven't appeared by this late."
"Oh! I was curious about what you were so excited about, I almost forgot the important thing! The opening day box office for 'The Legend of the Banquet at Hongmen' is out, 3012 million! It's already surpassed the 30 million mark on its opening day!"
Liu Yifei said excitedly. She was really excited. This was the first movie she had ever made that grossed over 3000 million on its opening day since she entered the film industry!
Liu Yifei understood perfectly what this meant. Just as the initial subscription figures for a novel could indicate its subsequent performance, her highest-grossing film, the blockbuster "The Forbidden Kingdom," only grossed 1.71 million yuan, and its opening day box office didn't even reach 30 million yuan.
How could Liu Yifei not be excited? As long as the box office performance of "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen" continues to plummet, its final box office revenue will be at least over 200 million!
After saying this, Liu Yifei, somewhat excited, jumped onto Lin Feng, almost knocking him to the ground. Fortunately, Lin Feng was strong enough to catch her.
At this moment, Lin Feng relaxed a little. Although "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen" was far inferior to "Love is Not Blind", it was more than twice as much as the 1224 million box office of the previous version of "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen" on its opening day!
Lin Feng's lips unconsciously curled up before he forcibly suppressed it. Then he patted the somewhat excited Liu Yifei and said calmly, "Calm down, calm down. Are you really that excited about this box office result?"
I remember that a couple of days ago, my movie "Love is Not Blind" grossed over 60 million yuan on its opening weekend, or more accurately, 6025 million yuan. But "The Legend of the White Gate Banquet" grossed 3012 million yuan, which is a full double!
I wasn't this excited at the time! "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen" only grossed over 30 million at the box office; shouldn't that be normal? There's no need to get so worked up.
When Lin Feng said this, he completely forgot how excited he was at the time. He was so nervous that he couldn't sleep, and at midnight he dragged Deng Shuang to the movie theater for another round. But since he didn't say anything and Deng Shuang didn't say anything either, who would know these things!
At this moment, Liu Yifei was still clinging to Lin Feng, looking at him with admiration. He was indeed the man she had chosen, remaining so calm even now. She couldn't contain her excitement and said, "I'm not like you. You've never failed. Every movie you've made has grossed over 100 million. Your first movie, 'Buddha Mountain,' an art film, still made 1.52 million. You know, our movie 'A Chinese Ghost Story' was released in the same period as your 'Buddha Mountain,' and it only made 140 million!"
You can stop showing "Love is Not Blind" now. I just checked the box office figures. Our "The Legend of the Banquet at Hongmen" only made 3012 million on its opening day, while "Love is Not Blind" made 564 million!
"It's unbelievable! How big of a miracle are you planning to create with 'Love is Not Blind'?" Liu Yifei's mouth was wide open by the end of her sentence.
Lin Feng, who was a little tired from carrying her, slowly put Liu Yifei down. Then he took out the day's box office rankings and looked at them carefully. "The Legend of the Banquet at Hongmen" was a minor box office hit, and "Love is Not Blind" was indeed amazing.
On November 29, "The Legend of the Last Supper" grossed 3012 million yuan on its opening day, accounting for 34.8% of screenings and 49.8% of box office revenue, making it the top-grossing film of the day.
"Love is Not Blind" has been in theaters for 21 days and still has a box office of 578 million yuan. It has an 8.1% share of screenings and a 9.6% share of box office, ranking 4th in the box office rankings. It is very strong!
At this point, "Love is Not Blind" had already grossed 4.38 million yuan, and was still earning several million yuan a day. It was truly resilient and persistent. It was certain that it would surpass 450 million yuan. Could it be challenging the 500 million yuan mark?
However, there isn't much time left for "Love is Not Blind" to be released. Even Lin Feng himself wants it to be taken off the screens as soon as possible, since there's not much money left, and this way the box office revenue can be received as quickly as possible.
However, Lin Feng's focus is currently entirely on "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen," since it has only been released for one day. The first week is the golden period for box office revenue and the best time for promotional tours.
"Sissi, 'The Legend of the Last Supper' did well at the box office on its opening day, but we can't let our guard down yet. If we want it to do even better, we need to increase our promotional efforts."
"Don't worry, all I have now is energy. I think I can easily travel to 10 cities a day." With the movie's box office success, Liu Yifei is full of energy.
"By the way! Sisi, shouldn't you be on a diet? I almost couldn't lift you just now. If you keep going like this, you'll turn into a fat fairy! Share some of the delicious food you've been hiding with me, so I can have the energy to promote it!"
"Ah! I haven't been secretly eating more lately, have I really gained weight?" It seems that women are quite sensitive about their weight, and Liu Yifei suddenly became nervous.
"I was just kidding. I just wanted to eat some of your treats. Don't you like to hide snacks?"
"You can eat as many of my snacks as you want, but have I really not gained weight?" Lin Feng regretted it a little; he shouldn't have made that joke, and Liu Yifei took it quite seriously.
"No! Really, no." Lin Feng felt his words weren't sincere, so he picked Liu Yifei up again, cushioning her weight, and said confidently, "She hasn't gotten any heavier, so you can relax now!"
Liu Yifei jumped onto Lin Feng earlier because she was a little too excited. Now that Lin Feng is hugging her, Liu Yifei is still a little excited, and her face is flushed.
Next, the two officially began their promotional roadshow. As Liu Yifei said before, she had plenty of energy, but even the strongest person needs to rest!
Moreover, Lin Feng and his team were flying to three cities a day, participating in at least six or seven events in each city. Anyone would feel tired, and even Lin Feng was finding it a bit too much.
After all, he received a fixed salary for "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen". As long as he completed the publicity tasks agreed in the contract, he didn't need to be so concerned. Even if "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen" had a high box office, they wouldn't get an extra penny.
Of course, the higher the box office of "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen", the more it will affect the subsequent commercial value of Lin Feng and his team. However, the effect cannot be achieved by just one or two roadshow promotions.
However, Liu Yifei rarely encountered a movie with such a good start, and she worked very hard during the promotion. Lin Feng could only accompany her. But after one or two days, Liu Yifei was tired. On the third day, she simply rested her head on Lin Feng's shoulder and fell asleep, as if this sense of security could help her fall asleep quickly. Liu Yifei, so beautiful and so tired, was like Sleeping Beauty.
Later, when Liu Yifei got tired, she simply lay down on Lin Feng and fell asleep. There was even a time when her drool almost dripped onto Lin Feng's clothes.
Later, Liu Yifei got tired, and whether on the plane or in the car, she would just hug Lin Feng and sleep. Several times she even slept directly in Lin Feng's arms. Such an alluring beauty was lying in his arms, and the fine hairs on her face were clearly visible. Her breath could even lift Lin Feng's cheeks, making Lin Feng a little fantasized.
Later, Lin Feng got tired, really tired. His throat hurt, so he leaned on Liu Yifei and fell asleep together. The two of them slept in each other's arms.
On the last day of the promotion, Lin Feng saw that Liu Yifei was too tired, so he promoted two more events himself so that Liu Yifei could rest more. As a result, when he got into the car, he fell asleep in Liu Yifei's arms.
At this moment, Liu Yifei looked at the sleeping Lin Feng. She had never been so close to him before, seeing him so clearly. His features were clearly visible, and she could breathe in his air directly. Liu Yifei held Lin Feng and looked at him for a long, long time. She thought of every little detail from their filming process, his evaluation of her mother, and that night they were trapped in the car during the downpour. Finally, Liu Yifei's attention focused directly on Lin Feng's lips. His lips had sharp, chiseled lines...
Her lip lines were clearly defined, like a fine brushstroke, and her lip color was as deep as red wine, making her look incredibly alluring.
Just then, Lin Feng's lips moved slightly. He pursed his lips while fast asleep, his lips forming a straight line that exuded a sense of abstinence and emanated a faint, ambiguous warmth.
Although Lin Feng and Liu Yifei had many scenes together in "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen" and many intimate scenes involving hugs, Liu Yifei always felt that something was missing between them. Later, she discovered that the two, who played "Xiang Yu" and "Yu Ji," did not have any kissing scenes. It was a pity that there was not a single kissing scene in the two thousand heart-wrenching love stories.
Now, Liu Yifei felt she should make up for the kissing scene, not only to make up for the regret of the movie "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen", but also to make up for the regret between her and Lin Feng. Somewhat nervous, Liu Yifei approached Lin Feng little by little and gently kissed his lips. A tingling sensation ran through her. She was even afraid of waking the sleeping Lin Feng, so she kissed him very lightly.
Liu Yifei kissed him for a very long time. Even after their lips parted, she savored the memory for a long, long time. She felt that she had truly fallen in love with Lin Feng, but it seemed that she had appeared a little too late.
Just as Liu Yifei was about to kiss Lin Feng again, Lin Feng suddenly woke up and asked groggily, "Qianqian, what time is it?"
"It's already 5 pm, and you've slept for a full 3 hours." Liu Yifei composed herself, trying not to let Lin Feng see anything, and said calmly.
"Sissi, why is your face so red?"
Lin Feng paused for a second when he saw Liu Yifei's flushed cheeks, because Liu Yifei looked exceptionally beautiful at that moment. Then he smelled Liu Yifei's perfume on himself, and he vaguely felt that there was something on his lips. He pursed his lips but didn't notice anything.
"It's nothing, maybe the car's air conditioning was too hot." Liu Yifei's face turned even redder, and her voice trembled slightly. She didn't dare to look Lin Feng in the eye when she spoke, especially when Lin Feng pursed his lips, she was extremely nervous.
"Are there two more events?" Lin Feng asked as usual, seemingly unconcerned.
"Well, you look so tired, do you want to take a break? I'll participate in the last two matches by myself." Liu Yifei felt sorry for Lin Feng.
"No need, let's go together. How much is 'The Legend of the Last Supper' at the box office now?"
"4295 million on the second day, 3616 million on the third day, plus 3012 million on the first day, the first weekend has already exceeded 100 million, Lin Feng, you've succeeded again!" Liu Yifei was a little excited again at this moment.
"We succeeded this time!"
On November 29, "The Legend of the Last Supper" grossed 3012 million yuan on its opening day, accounting for 34.8% of screenings and 49.8% of box office revenue, making it the top-grossing film of the day.
On November 30th, the second day of its release, "The Legend of the Last Supper" grossed 4295 million yuan, accounting for 36.9% of screenings and 52.9% of box office revenue, making it the top-grossing film of the day.
On December 1st, the third day of its release, "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen" grossed 3616 million yuan, accounting for 35.2% of screenings and 48.6% of box office revenue, maintaining its position as the top-grossing film for the day.
"The Legend of the Banquet at Hongmen" grossed 10923 million yuan in its opening weekend, approximately 1.1 million yuan, breaking the 33 million yuan mark. This result is far from that of "Love is Not Blind," but it exceeded many people's expectations and can be considered a minor hit, attracting considerable attention.
Even Li Rengang, who was promoting the film on the other side, had called Lin Feng countless times in the past few days, expressing his gratitude repeatedly. "Lin Feng, thank you so much. Actually, the initial screenings of 'The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen' by various theater managers weren't very ideal. Many professional box office prediction agencies thought the film would only gross around 1.5 million. Now, the film has grossed 1.1 million in its opening weekend. This is the best box office and word-of-mouth performance I've ever achieved in my career. I know who deserves the most credit for this. Thank you so much!"
I'm so glad I chose you back then. If I'd cast someone else, the outcome of this movie would have been very uncertain. Don't worry, I'll definitely convince the investment company to give it to you. And Yifei too, I'll give you both two big red envelopes!
By the way, "The Legend of the Last Supper" is a Hong Kong film, so it's eligible to be nominated for next year's Hong Kong Film Awards. Your performance this time was so outstanding, I'll definitely help you nominate for Best Actor. It's just that, as you know, you're not from Hong Kong, and this is your first nomination, so it's very difficult for you to win Best Actor. But I'll contact other big shots, and at least get you a nomination."
The box office of "The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen" exploded again, and together with the even more explosive "Love is Not Blind" before, the double superposition of the two movies dominating the charts and becoming huge hits has attracted a lot of attention in the industry. In any case, it is impossible for anyone working in the entertainment industry not to know the name Lin Feng.
