The Jin Ya Film Festival activities only consider the box office for the first three days.
On the first day, these films were all over the internet.
Currently, the most popular on the entire Blue Star is naturally the British film "The Earl's Love," starring the two hottest actors in Britain. Judging from the promotional video, it tells a tragic love story between a human and a vampire.
This theme is peculiar, and precisely because of its peculiarity, so many people are interested.
Moreover, the theme song was produced by Lauren, the most renowned music producer in Britain, which also piqued the curiosity of many in the music industry.
According to promotional feedback, "The Earl's Love" is a strong contender to win this year's Jin Ya Film Festival for Britain.
Next are "The Runner," an inspirational film from India, and "Newborn" from Han Country.
These two films should be among the top three favorites.
Of course, this is just market feedback; the real results will only be known after the premiere, ranked by box office.
Among so many films, there is one that has received a lot of cheers but is not highly regarded by the public, which is the Japanese film "Initial D."
Actually, it can be said that with the theme song and插曲 produced by Ting Yu, the attention for this film would not be too low. Big Wind Novels
However, the current situation for "Initial D" is that foreign media does not favor China's Jiangnan team, while the domestic entertainment industry is embroiled in controversy.
There are fans who support Jiangnan, and there are also scoffers who call him a traitor for participating in the film festival for Japan.
Therefore, although "Initial D" has high attention, it is caught in internal and external troubles before its release. Industry insiders believe that the box office will not be very high, and even with Ting Yu's involvement, it will be difficult to enter the top three.
"If Jiangnan doesn't give an explanation, there's no place for him in the domestic entertainment industry!"
"Yes, I liked Jiangnan so much before, but I didn't expect him to be a traitor."
"I'm not watching it anyway, no patriot should watch it!"
"What explanation? The domestic entertainment industry is incompetent, Jiangnan has a dream of entering the world, so what's wrong with him being a foreign aid?"
"He's not helping Japan fight China, why does he need an explanation?"
"You guys are always targeting Jiangnan, but you don't say a word about Ting Yu, right? That's hilarious, bullying the weak and fearing the strong."
The controversy this time is simple, all targeting Jiangnan, but Ting Yu is also the music producer of "Initial D," yet those scoffers don't even mention Ting Yu.
This is because they know that Ting Yu is currently untouchable in the domestic entertainment industry. Just after he helped China win the next issue of "Times Music King," whoever dares to call him unpatriotic or a traitor will face backlash.
Therefore, during this period, no one dares to cause trouble for Ting Yu, no matter what he does.
They can only find fault with Jiangnan.
...
The much-anticipated films are released on time!
The official website of the Jin Ya Film Festival updates the box office results of several films in real-time.
It is similar to what the industry insiders predicted.
When ticket sales opened.
The British film "The Earl's Love" directly took the lead.
Globally, this film is mostly watched by overseas audiences, with the domestic entertainment market contributing only 5% of the total box office.
This shows how popular vampire films like this are overseas.
Following closely are "Newborn" and "The Runner."
What's surprising is that despite the continuous criticism of Jiangnan in the domestic entertainment industry, "Initial D" ranked fourth in the box office.
According to the box office data, Chinese netizens are still the biggest supporters, contributing as much as 45% of the box office.
"No need to think about it, it's the credit of Ting Yu's fans."
"Anyway, I'm a Ting Yu fan, I bought the ticket just to listen to new songs."
"It's incredible that Ting Yu, with his popularity, can achieve a top four ranking in such a global film festival!"
"Don't talk nonsense, although the Jin Ya Film Festival is global, the highest event in the film industry is the International Film Festival, that's where the real gods clash!"
"Forget about the International Film Festival, even Guangnian Entertainment doesn't have the qualifications, the domestic entertainment industry is too far behind."
It must be said that Ting Yu's influence through his popularity is definitely commendable, especially since he is from the music industry and is a cross-border influencer in the film industry.
Ting Yu's PUBG internal group chat.
"Brothers, gather at the cinema!"
Gong Ju Ren summoned them directly in the group.
Jiang Xiao E: "Hehe, be there in five minutes!"
Zhao De: "Damn it, traffic jam at this hour!"
Gong Ju Ren: "Don't panic, the movie tickets I bought are not showing for another half hour."
Shen Jing Hong: "What are you guys doing, what movie??"
Gong Ju Ren: ""Initial D," Yang Ge's latest starring film. I heard there's a kissing scene with a Japanese actress. @Shen Jing Hong, want to watch?"
Shen Jing Hong: "Damn it, I've been buried in writing songs recently and haven't paid attention to these things. Book a ticket for me too!!"
Gong Ju Ren: "Haha, don't worry, I've already booked the whole cinema, you just need to come over."
This is Su Yu's debut on the world film stage.
Mainly Zhang Yang, Gong Ju Ren, and others, as Su Yu's harem, and also as Zhang Yang's brothers, naturally have to support him.
And this time, everyone happened to be in Kyoto participating in a show. Gong Ju Ren directly booked a cinema for everyone to watch together.
After Mo Yan retired, Shen Jing Hong also joined Xing Hui. He has been diligently writing songs during this time, as the "Times Music King" is about to be held in China. The Chinese music scene's attention is very high at this moment, and he also wants to seize this opportunity to get on the Times Music Chart.
...
Not long after.
Ting Yu's singer group and Shen Jing Hong and his companions met at the cinema entrance.
Now, Gong Ju Ren and Jiang Xiao E and the others are the center of attention wherever they go. And such a large group, including Shen Jing Hong, are not wearing masks or hats, and many people recognized them.
"Is this a team building event? Why are they bringing Shen Jing Hong?"
"Shen Jing Hong is already part of Xing Hui, and he has a good relationship with Ting Yu, so it's normal for him to watch movies with Gong Ju Ren and them."
"With so much controversy surrounding this movie in the domestic entertainment industry, aren't they afraid of getting caught in the crossfire?"
"Afraid of what? They are all Ting Yu's people, who dares to say anything about them?"
Amidst the discussions.
Gong Ju Ren led the group into the cinema.
Besides supporting "Initial D," another reason for this outing was to show their stance.
No matter what happens, they stand with Su Yu, and even if it's the public opinion that artists fear the most, they will not pay attention to it.
"I envy Zhang Yang, being able to act with a Japanese girl. It makes me want to be an actor too." Shen Jing Hong, holding a bucket of popcorn, found his seat and sat down comfortably.
"Old Shen, your looks are quite good. I think you can approach the film and television department and try acting," Gong Ju Ren nodded.
"Forget it, what's the use of looks? Acting requires skill. I don't want to be called a流量演员 (traffic actor)," Shen Jing Hong said dismissively.
When he's with Gong Ju Ren and the others, his refined and easy-going side naturally emerges.
However, he is not afraid of his persona collapsing, because his persona had already collapsed when they were playing PUBG.
Just then.
The lights in the cinema dimmed.
The chatting also stopped.
Su Yu's latest movie, "Initial D," was about to begin!
