Chapter 185 is a hit and nominated for awards

The first-day box office of "Knife of the Assassin 2" was 1.28 million.

As the movie was released and the number of people who rated it increased, the Douban score was also released. The initial score was 7.9, a surprisingly high score.

The Douban score of "Knife of the Assassin 2" was 7.6 points in the previous life, and now it has risen by 0.3 points.

This version of "The Blade of the Assassin 2" has actually changed a lot after discussions between Yang Hao and Lu Yang.

The biggest change in "Blade Identity 2" is that the tragedy has faded. The ending is a happy reunion of the hero and heroine. Shen Lian and Hokusai finally get together instead of being separated and never seeing each other again.

Although tragedy can easily stir the audience's emotions, make them cry and laugh, for the general public, they actually prefer comedy.

In fact, many people who watch movies are couples, or families, or they watch it with their sisters or brothers. Those who go to the cinema alone are a minority among the minority.

Couples, families, relatives and friends, this is the group watching the movie. Who is crazy enough to watch a tragedy?
If the word-of-mouth feedback for a movie is tragic, it will have a discouraging effect on the mainstream audience, and the box office will naturally not be too high.

It can be seen from the annual box office results in recent years that comedy is the weapon for high box office.

Although Yang Hao felt that "Knife Identity 2" was changing for the better, everything was unknown before it was released, and Yang Hao was worried. Now that the first-day box office and word of mouth have come out, Yang Hao finally feels relieved.

The games I played with Liu Shishi in the bathroom, on the sofa, and on the dining table just now were over, and it was almost 12 o'clock. After being taken care of by Yang Hao, Liu Shishi took a breath on the bed, and soon she looked radiant, as if she had taken a panacea, and all the fatigue from the daytime roadshow was swept away.

Liu Shishi, lying on the bed, was full of energy. She picked up her mobile phone, logged into the Maoyan app, and refreshed it from time to time to check the box office data of "The Blade of the Assassin 2".

The Internet has really brought about earth-shaking changes in the film industry. Now all major cinemas basically use electronic ticketing systems, and on the Maoyan app, you can even check movie box office in real time.

When "The Blade Identity 1" was released, Maoyan had not yet opened the function of checking the box office in real time, but after a few months, when "The Blade Identity 2" was released, this function was launched.

In the past, if you wanted to know the box office of a movie, the theaters would report it to the distributor, and the distributor would then compile and summarize the data. It often took several hours or even days to get the results.

Now after 12 o'clock, you can know the box office data of the day, which is really convenient and fast.

As soon as 12 o'clock arrived, Liu Shishi couldn't wait to refresh the Maoyan app. When she saw the second-day box office data of "Assassins 2", Liu Shishi could no longer contain the excitement in her heart.

"Honey, honey, the box office of "Knife Identity 2" reached 1.41 million on the second day of its release," Liu Shishi said excitedly as she threw herself into Yang Hao's arms.

On the first day, "Knife of the Assassin 2" earned 1.28 million yuan in box office. That was due to the bonus of the previous work "Knife of the Assassin 1", plus the effect of pre-sale ticket subsidies from Maoyan, so the high box office was expected.

If you want to know whether "Knife Identity 2" will really be a big hit, you have to focus on the box office results on the second day.

The next day, "Knife of the Assassin 2" still maintained a stable box office curve, which shows that the quality of "Knife of the Assassin 2" is indeed good and recognized by the majority of movie fans.

Liu Shishi has been in the entertainment industry for so long, so she naturally knows this truth. That's why she was so excited when the box office data came out the next day.

Liu Shishi knew that the box office success of "Assassin's Blade 2" was basically a foregone conclusion.

Liu Shishi was really excited. "Knife Identity 2" had already grossed 2.69 million yuan in just two days after its release.

That’s 2.69 million!

Before this, the combined box office of the two or three movies she starred in was not as high as the box office of "Assassin's Blade 2" in its first two days of release.

"Am I going to become a movie star too?" This thought suddenly popped up in Liu Shishi's mind.

Thinking that she will continue to work with Yang Hao on "Detective Chinatown 3", a movie that has a high probability of becoming a hit, Liu Shishi is extremely excited.

She now really admires Yang Hao, a man who is a few years younger than her. He is so awesome and his vision for investing in movies is getting better and better.

At this moment, she was extremely glad that she chose Yang Hao between Wu Qilong and Yang Hao.

Apart from being a little philandering, Yang Hao is really a perfect man. But for such a wealthy and talented man, it is not unacceptable that he is a little philandering.

Besides, how many men in the entertainment industry can really keep to themselves? Anyway, Liu Shishi doesn't really believe it.

Moreover, in the entertainment industry, being unfaithful is not a sin.

Having no money, no fame, and no talent is the greatest sin.

"You're so excited with such a small box office?" Yang Hao found it a little funny to see Liu Shishi excitedly throwing herself into his arms.

Why does Liu Shishi seem to have never seen the world? This is not like the top 85 flowers in later generations.

"Hmph!" Upon hearing Yang Hao's pretentious words, Liu Shishi rolled her eyes at Yang Hao and snorted in dissatisfaction.

"Do you think everyone is like you, investing in every movie that becomes a big hit, and making a movie worth billions is as easy as drinking water?" Liu Shishi said dissatisfiedly, with a sour tone in her voice and an expression of envy and jealousy on her face that she did not hide at all.

"Believe it or not, the box office of the next "Detective Chinatown 2" will be much higher than that of "Knife Assassins ," Yang Hao said confidently and firmly, looking at Liu Shishi's fair and pretty face.

Confident men are the most handsome. Liu Shishi used to think it was just a joke, but now Yang Hao’s confidence really makes Liu Shishi feel intoxicated.

"You are so handsome!" Liu Shishi said with a blush on her face, unable to help but infatuated.

Liu Shishi once saw a joke that said men who drive a one-handed Ferrari are the most handsome.

Now Liu Shishi feels that the man who is confident that his movie box office will reach billions is the most handsome.

"Uh!" Yang Hao's forehead was filled with black lines when he saw Liu Shishi's infatuated look.

"Honey, you just said that the box office performance of "Detective Chinatown 2" will be higher than that of "Knife Assassins "? " Although Liu Shishi was infatuated with him just now, she also grasped the key point of Yang Hao's words.

Seeing Liu Shishi leaning towards his arms again, as if her whole body wanted to be rubbed into his body, Yang Hao was happy to see it. He clenched his hands and hugged her with greater strength.

"Of course! Detective Chinatown will definitely surpass Blade Assassins 2," Yang Hao said with confidence.

"'Detective Chinatown 3' is going to be released during the Spring Festival, and it's going to compete for the box office champion during the Spring Festival," Yang Hao added.

As Liu Shishi's body was pressed against Yang Hao, Yang Hao could clearly feel the heat coming from her body. Along with the warmth, there was also a faint fragrance of orchid. Yang Hao guessed that Liu Shishi must have used orchid-scented perfume.

When Liu Shishi heard Yang Hao talking about the Spring Festival period, she remembered that Yang Hao had won the double crown in the previous two years.

"Could it be that Detective Chinatown will make Yang Hao's legend of winning the triple crown during the Spring Festival?" Thinking of this possibility, Liu Shishi's heart started pounding, her face flushed, and her mouth became dry.

Liu Shishi couldn't help but lick the corners of her dry lips and gave Yang Hao a charming look.

Handsome! Really handsome! Really so handsome!

It is said that men surrender to women's skirts, but a strong man can also make women surrender to his throne.

Liu Shishi felt like she was being conquered. But she didn't reject this feeling. The feeling of being conquered gave her a strange stimulation.

"Look, someone is praising me!" Liu Shishi held the phone in front of Yang Hao, looking as if asking for praise.

In the past, every time she acted in a movie, she was mocked by netizens. But now, some netizens even praised her acting skills, which made Liu Shishi smile with pride.

Taking the phone handed to him by Liu Shishi, Yang Hao took a look and found it was the Weibo interface.

"A detailed account of Liu Shishi's performance in "Blade Master 2""

A large title was prominently displayed right above the phone screen, and Yang Hao saw it as soon as he took the phone.

Yang Hao took a quick look at the Weibo articles, and the entire article was praising Liu Shishi's performance in "Knife of the Assassin 2".

Liu Shishi's eyes are lively and full of emotion.

Liu Shishi and Yang Hao have a strong sense of couple.

……

Doesn't he know how Liu Shishi behaved in "The Blade of the Assassin 2"?
He is a complete experientialist and the kind who gets deeply involved in a role.

If Liu Shishi hadn't been so immersed in the role, Yang Hao would have had to work hard to win her over.

Liu Shishi's performance in "Knife of the Assassin 2" is indeed remarkable. Compared with her previous performances in movies and TV series, there has indeed been a qualitative improvement.

But Yang Hao still doubted whether Liu Shishi paid someone to write this article herself?

"Shishi, did you ask someone to write this article yourself?" Yang Hao asked with a strange look on his face.

It's no wonder that Yang Hao asked this question. It's just that this article is too flattering. It praises Liu Shishi to the point of being the best in the world. It's too exaggerated.

Yang Hao admitted that Liu Shishi’s acting in “Knife Assassins 2” was indeed good, but it was not as exaggerated as described in this article.

"You are so annoying!" Originally Liu Shishi said this just to get Yang Hao to praise her, but who knew that Yang Hao would ask such a question, which was really very low in emotional intelligence.

Liu Shishi's smug expression instantly dropped, and her hands, which had been tightly holding Yang Hao's arms, loosened directly, rolled sideways, and moved directly to the other side of the bed, with her back to Yang Hao.

Well! This simple sentence made Liu Shishi angry.

"Shishi, your acting is the best! Don't be angry," Yang Hao patted the other person's shoulder and said softly.

"Hmph!" Liu Shishi snorted coldly, still with her back to Yang Hao, but her shoulders were shaking, trying to shake off Yang Hao's hand on her shoulder.

"Shishi, you are the most beautiful! Don't be angry."

"Humph!"

……

Yang Hao tried to coax her for a long time but failed, and he was too lazy to try to please her anymore.

Yang Hao pulled Liu Shishi into his arms with force.

……

When everything was over, Liu Shishi's face was rosy and her beautiful eyes were watery. There was no trace of her temper just now.

Seeing Liu Shishi being so well-behaved at this moment, Yang Hao felt very proud.

As long as a man is strong enough, smiling away grudges is definitely the best way to solve the problem.
-
On the second day of the roadshow, Yang Hao had nothing to do at home. After Liu Shishi's repeated requests, Yang Hao agreed to go with her to the roadshow.

"Huh? Yang Hao, why are you here?" Seeing Yang Hao and Liu Shishi getting out of the car together, Lu Yang looked back and forth between the two with an ambiguous look, and finally his gaze stopped on Yang Hao.

"Senior Brother, can't I come?" Yang Hao smiled, walked over, and hugged Lu Yang as a greeting.

Then he said hello to Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei, Zhang Yi and others.

Yang Hao suddenly discovered that the cast of the movie "Knife of the Assassin 2" was really amazing.

If it were 2024, the lineup of Liu Shishi, Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei, and Zhang Yi would be worth at least billion yuan at the box office.

Unfortunately, this was 2014, and except for Liu Shishi, the others were not very popular.

Roadshows sound interesting, but they are actually very tiring and boring.

Wherever he goes, he will visit three or five major cinemas, take photos with fans in the cinemas, talk about some interesting things about filming, and perform some small shows such as singing.

Yang Hao has the bonus of max physical fitness, so Lu Yang doesn't feel very tired, but Liu Shishi can't bear it anymore and keeps complaining of being tired. Every day, Yang Hao needs to help her to clear her meridians and invigorate her bones before she can fall asleep sweetly.

The roadshow will mainly be held in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, several new first-tier cities, and several cities with major box office.

Just when Yang Hao, Lu Yang and his group were conducting a roadshow according to the established route.

Lu Yang received a call, and after answering it, he came to Yang Hao excitedly.

"Junior brother, guess what good news I received on the phone just now?" Lu Yang couldn't hide the smile on his face. As soon as Yang Hao knew it, it must be great news, but if Lu Yang didn't give him some hints, how could Yang Hao guess it.

"Senior brother, don't keep me in suspense, just say it directly."

"Haha, it's 'Knife of the Assassin 1' that has been shortlisted for the 32nd Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards, nominated for Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Feature Film," Lu Yang said the news loudly.

"Really?" Yang Hao asked back, not sure.

In the previous life, the male lead of "Knife of the Assassin 1" was Zhang Zhen from Taiwan, and the investors were also from Taiwan, so it was able to win many awards at the Golden Horse Awards. Now the male lead has changed, the investors have also changed, and it is not even eligible to register for the Golden Horse Awards. Yang Hao still thought that "Knife of the Assassin 1" had no chance of winning.

I didn't expect to be nominated for the Hundred Flowers Awards, and for three nominations.

But if you think about it carefully, it is natural for "Knife of the Assassin 1" to be nominated. Now that martial arts films are in such decline, "Knife of the Assassin 1" was able to stand out and even earned 10 billion at the box office. This is definitely an achievement that will go down in film history. It would be very abnormal if such a movie did not win an award.

Lu Yang just said that "Asian Blade 1" won the award, and the voice was very loud. Liu Shishi, Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei and Zhang Yi also heard it.

Winning an award is a big deal, and upon hearing this, several people immediately surrounded him and grabbed Senior Brother Lu Yang to ask what award he had won.
