Chapter 224: Those Years is off the screen and enters world film history
The Peninsula issue has come to an end for the time being, and now we just have to wait for SK to finish recording and release the song.

On November 11, "Those Years" was finally taken off the screen after 25 days of release.

At the time of its release, the global total box office of "Those Years" exceeded 54.37 billion yuan, creating a new box office miracle, breaking 18 records, achieving 119 milestone achievements, ranking 85th in the history of world cinema, and becoming the fourth Tianxia film to enter the top 100 in the history of world box office.

Among them, the domestic box office was 39.53 billion, making it the box office champion and moviegoer champion of the 2022 National Day, breaking the box office record of the National Day period in Tianxia Film History, and ranking 11th in the current Tianxia Film History box office (4th in Tianxia Film History including the global box office, 11th in Tianxia Film History if only the domestic box office is counted)!
Peninsula has a box office of 9.56 million yuan, becoming the most popular foreign language film in 2022, and crushing a number of local films, ranking first on Peninsula's current box office list in 2022.

The box office in Neon reached 7.89 million yuan, ranking among the top 2022 in Neon box office list in 5.

Tyrande's box office reached 5.28 million, making it into the top 2022 of Tyrande's box office list in 10.

When the battle report came in, the Chinese Internet was jubilant.

"Awesome!!! Those years were worth it!"

"tqltql! Cheng Cheng's cultural output is amazing. The 85th place in world film history is indeed very valuable. I think that up to this point, no matter who is in the entire world film history, they have to pay attention to him!"

"Congratulations to "Those Years", congratulations to all the staff on and off the stage, and congratulations to all the creators!!!"

"My Gou Gou is also a world-class movie star!"

"Let me put it this way, among the top four box office hits in history, only Those Years knows no national boundaries and can resonate with people all over the world!"

“I hope more and more Tianxia movies will dominate the global box office!”

"Those Years" is a success for Tianxia's commercial films, and it also hits the big IPs in the international market!"

"Once there is a first, there will be a second. Those years were the first, and there will be more Tianxia movies to come!"

"As an ordinary audience, I only have one requirement for movies: to tell the story clearly. This requirement seems very low, but in fact, many movies cannot do this. The story is fragmented, the director tells 10%, and the audience has to imagine the rest; the logic is flawed; when the movie ends, there are still a lot of things that are not explained;

Taking all kinds of technical aspects as the purpose of the film, the special effects of the dragon's tail are so boring that I just watched it. In addition, you can bring personal opinions, but don't treat the audience as fools. The director who wants to make money from the audience and slap the audience in the face is definitely not my target audience.

In short, whether it was All or Nothing or those years, I voted with my money, and I am very satisfied with the result. It is a good movie. "

“I’m really looking forward to Resident Evil!”

"Don't expect Resident Evil yet. Look forward to The Killer and The Evil King first. They will be released in a month or two!"

“I hope Tianxia Films - The Next Wave is always on the road, the future is still long, and everything is brand new.”

"Congratulations again to my Frog Brother. The first overseas release has achieved unprecedented success. It is the best portrayal of heroes making the times and the times making heroes. This is really a surprise to everyone, right?"

There is also a question on Zhihu: "Cheng Cheng's personal total box office has exceeded 100 billion. How do you evaluate his current status and influence?"

Description of the problem: On November 11, the movie "Those Years" directed and acted by Cheng Cheng was officially taken off the screen. The total box office of movies directed by Cheng Cheng also officially exceeded 25 billion yuan, making him the fifth director in Chinese film history to reach a box office of 100 billion yuan after Gong Guangming.

It is worth mentioning that the total box office of Cheng Cheng’s starring works has reached 80 billion yuan, ranking ninth in Tian Xia’s starring box office rankings.

Answer below:

[What do you think? How else can you think about it besides shouting 666? !
From "All or Nothing" to "A Little Thing Called First Love" and then to "Those Years".

Cheng Cheng's box office appeal is entirely due to his own efforts step by step!!! He hammered his own name into a shining golden signboard!
When he made All or Nothing, he was at the lowest point in his life, in a bottomless abyss, leading a group of obscure celebrities who couldn't be more obscure! There were no fans desperately promoting the film; no cool and crazy top special effects; no big-name directors to support it; no audiences to be optimistic.

It was he who made the movie itself the biggest selling point! He proved himself.

When he made "A Little Thing Called First Love", he suddenly transformed himself and stepped into the field of romance films that no one was optimistic about. When he met Master Gong's "The Lost Signal", he once again aroused a lot of doubts. No one thought he was qualified to compete with Master Gong.

But he once again slapped everyone in the face with his box office, and Master Gong praised him highly on many occasions!
When he released "Those Years", no one questioned it, but no one expected that he would dare to release it simultaneously in four countries. "Will the overseas market buy into his idea?" became the question in everyone's mind, but he gave his answer with the box office!

As for the criticisms that people often make, such as excessive marketing, piling up spectacles, hyping up CPs, and using gender antagonism to attract box office revenue, this is actually easy to refute.

Who doesn’t have a dozen apps on their phone these days? Real life, work, family, and friends already occupy most of my energy, but there is still so much information pouring in on me online, including social news, celebrity gossip, new policies, and so on.

If a decent movie wants audience support, it should not just count on the audience's conscience, but should do a good job of publicity and respect the characteristics of this era - even good wine will not be popular if it is not well known.

You want to save on publicity and sell well at the same time, but why? You make things and I pay to watch them. We have no responsibilities or obligations to each other outside the cinema. Don't always blame the audience.

Has it become the number one overseas voting base?

This shows that Chengcheng understands their national conditions and has adopted a marketing approach that is suitable for their national conditions.

Compared to the fact that Cheng Cheng is a film master, I think it’s more exciting that he is a marketing master!

Being able to make good movies and do marketing is like having both the golden key of creativity and the magic wand of communication. Isn’t that awesome!
Follow the path of the marketing master and leave the marketing master with no way to go!

"He deserves the title. Frog Brother may have a very high position in the future!"

"Brother Frog is so damn handsome! He has top-tier looks and unique talent. He's absolutely amazing!"

"Three years ago, I was blasting Frog Brother online. Before he was recruited by the regular army, I would never have believed that Frog Brother would be the first director to leave Tianxia."

"A madman who becomes famous is a genius!"

[Let me give you a simple statistic. The four directors ahead of Cheng Cheng are:
First, Xu Guai, 149.97 billion; second, Lu Zhuofeng, 142.29 billion; third, Gong Guangming, 125.45 billion; fourth, Tang Ping, 118.34 billion.

When the box office exceeded 41 billion, Tsui Hark had made 37 films and had been in the film industry for 25 years; Lu Zhuofeng had made 24 films and had been in the film industry for 31 years; Gong Guangming had made 27 films and had been in the film industry for 34 years; and Tang Ping had made 31 films and had been in the film industry for years.

When Cheng Cheng broke through 10 billion:
Movies—three!
In the film industry——One year!]
"Fuck, this 'Three movies, one year in the film industry' is so shocking!"

"In just one year, he made three films and became a star in the Chinese film industry. Even novels don't dare to write about him like this."

"Although it's a bit unfair to make such an analogy, and it can't be simply attributed to the level of personal ability, it does prove that Frog is really strong! Not only does he shoot quickly, but he also shoots well! Who can make three movies in a year? Who can make a total box office of three movies that exceeds 10 billion?!"

"Brother Frog's achievements are beyond words!"

"In the era of commercial films, Frog Brother is much stronger than ever!"

[With the accumulation of strength, there will always be someone who crosses the finish line first and wins. If it is not Cheng Cheng, it will be Zhang Cheng or Wang Cheng. This is a historical trend and a symbol of the rise of a huge consumer market. It is inevitable.

At the same time, I am also fortunate that the first director to go overseas was not Xu Guai, nor Master Gong (although I am a fan), but Cheng Cheng, who has such distinct characteristics of the times.

History tells the world by chance that the one who is the most hardworking, the youngest, the most individual, the one who can break through the cage the most, and the one who can best represent the spirit of this nation is worthy of this honor.

He represents the spirit that our era and our nation should have. We do not advocate individual heroes. Instead, we believe that unity is strength and use the collectivist spirit of "success does not depend on me" to realize "our journey is to the stars and the sea."

We also have the confidence that we can catch up, even though we are still lacking in strength now. We will not flatter or fawn on Western values. We will make films one by one in a down-to-earth manner, even if we have to sell our house and empty our savings.

The fact that such an individual with a distinct temperament of the times is the first to go abroad shows that the audience is not blind or deaf, and that the general public knows what they want. Isn't this something to be thankful and proud of?
Why are the Americans suppressing Tianxia to death now? Because Tianxia is not only rising in the economic field, but also rising in all aspects. This road is difficult and there is no room for shortcuts, but it may not be impossible. Give Cheng Cheng a call! ]
"It's really well written. Cheng Cheng is really convinced that the box office reached 10 billion. He is also the most suitable candidate. Although Cheng Cheng's status and contribution are not as good as the others, he has the biggest vision!"

"Yes, a person's vision is really important. In recent years, Cheng Cheng's vision and foresight are really worthy of a billionaire director. After all, heroes are made by the times."

"That's very well said. Cheng Cheng is not the best, but he is the most suitable. This era needs such people!"

"The biggest impression that Frog leaves on people is that he is not tactful or worldly-wise. He will stick to his own path to the end. If anyone messes with me, I will send him to the eighteenth level of hell. I will beat up anyone I don't like. This kind of spirit is really needed in the muddy swamp of the Tianxia entertainment industry!"

[Let me add one more thing. Generally speaking, the third place is considered as the actual box office performance. Although Cheng Cheng is not the male lead in "All or Nothing", whether it is the gimmick before the broadcast or the market reaction after the broadcast, it is Cheng Cheng who alone is responsible for the box office and word of mouth. Li Yang, the leading actor, actually has a very limited role. In addition, Cheng Cheng is the center position on the poster and occupies half of the trailer. I think Cheng Cheng can be considered the male lead of "All or Nothing". In this way, the total box office of Cheng Cheng's starring works cannot be counted as 80 billion yuan at all, but should be 111 billion.]
"Indeed, the main trailer of All or Nothing is the scene of Cheng Cheng praying to Buddha. I watched it just for this. I think there are many people who feel the same way as me."

"The box office revenue that was carried by Cheng Cheng must be counted. Can we say that Li Yang was the one carrying the box office revenue in Go All In? It must be Cheng Cheng. There is nothing unfair to the No. 1. This is called being nursed. After performing such a high-grossing film, although his own box office record is a bit watery, he can still improve his status. As for Wen Lian at that time, she could not carry any box office revenue, and it was good enough that she did not drag down the box office revenue."

"Sheng Cheng's bow in the All or Nothing trailer was so amazing!"

"What do you think? If it weren't for the New Jersey city ban on fireworks, they would have set off fireworks to celebrate, hahahaha!"

"Those Years" has pushed Cheng Cheng to an incredible height, but for both netizens and him, this is just a starting point.

At the same time, during this period, "Star Detective" has also been updated to the fifth episode. The contents of the second to fifth episodes are: The Sky That Can't Be Reached, The War of the Boy Group, Tears of the Mermaid, and The Disappearing Groom.

After five episodes, "The Great Detective" has been completely deified. The five regular guests have all gained huge dividends, especially Nilu Kezi, who has 10 million fans on Weibo and has jumped from an unknown amateur to a second-tier star.

The speed at which he became famous is breathtaking.

Everyone predicted that she might become the next Yan Gou'er!
And because of the popularity of "Who's the Detective", the script-killing game format has also become popular, with both online script-killing games and offline script-killing stores flourishing.

Tianxia Times even reported:
"Script-killing" rises virally! What is the magic of this "new business" popularized by "The Great Detective"? "

[In recent days, the popularity of script-killing has reached a peak of 11 at 24:12 on November 32.15. After the broadcast of "The Great Detective", the term "script-killing" has gradually come into our view and has become popular among young people.

It has also strongly driven the rise of related online games and offline venues, making this niche entertainment project, which originally had a "two-dimensional" connotation, one of the first choices for young people to break the ice, build teams, relax and entertain, and expand social connections.]
It can be said that this is a true variety show that has ignited an industry.

The whole network was watching with awe, not only envying the regular guests of "Star Detective", but also envying Fu Hai TV Station which had Cheng Cheng's support.

On November 11th, fifteen days had passed since the official release of "Fantasy".

Tomorrow, December 12st, "Fantasy" will be officially released.

It's because he has to release it. Sungcheng is going to have a concert in December and he has to release "Fantasy" before the concert.

After half a month of promotion and publicity, the entire network is looking forward to Cheng Cheng's first album.

Because before that, Cheng Cheng had already reached the top of the music scene!
And his creative ability has been proven time and time again.

Statistics of You Chengcheng's fans:

Cheng Cheng has released 56 songs directly and indirectly!

Among them is a superb work: "The Internationale".

There are masterpieces such as "Kill That Zhending Man", "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies", and "Opera 2"

There are some divine songs: "Fukua", "Moonlight Serenade", "A Diao", "First Love", "Bubble"

There are hits such as "Mercury", "The Wind Rises", "Angel in the Devil", "Love Until Death", "Sadly", "Those Years"

There are hit songs: "Rain in June", "Xiao Yao Tan", "SPL", and all the rest.

There is also an alternative divine song: "Tentative"

(The above is a summary by netizens)

It can be said that Cheng Cheng’s works have a very high lower limit and a very high upper limit!
Therefore, netizens want to see what kind of songs will be in Cheng Cheng’s first album, as well as how powerful this album is, and whether it can live up to his status as the number one in the Tianxia music scene!

As for the release of Cheng Cheng's album, the entire network also matches the top resources and the top publicity and promotion channels.

Online channels include:

The album’s first release position is provided by music streaming platforms; topic challenges initiated by social media such as Weibo, WeChat, Douyin, and Kuaishou; album MV columns opened in cooperation with video platforms; physical album sales events organized by e-commerce platforms; and special album programs launched by radio and television stations.

Offline channels include:

Special counters or areas are set up in physical music stores, bookstores, electronics stores, etc. in major cities; advertisements and posters are placed in crowded places such as subways, bus stations, shopping malls, and cinemas.

Even the news of Cheng Cheng's album release was printed on the plane tickets of several major airlines.

Major KOLs and internet celebrities have also published related short videos and content.

It can be said that this can no longer be called overwhelming publicity. This is more overwhelming publicity than overwhelming publicity, it is overwhelming publicity to the power of the second!
Many young musicians cried after watching this. This kind of publicity and promotion resources are something they could never dream of in their lifetime. Let alone giving these publicity and promotion resources to Cheng Cheng, even if they were given to an amateur, they could directly create a third-tier singer!

It can even be said that unless XXX (a certain pop king) is resurrected, no one in the entire Chinese music scene can match Cheng Cheng's terrifying publicity and promotion campaign.

Weibo:

"One day later, I look forward to Cheng Cheng using his new album to give the Chinese music scene in the ICU a breathing machine. I really don't want to listen to the rubbish music of short video celebrities anymore!!!"

“For someone who can write works like The Internationale, Kill That Zhending Man, Vast Oceans, Vast Skies, and Opera 2, I can’t imagine how explosive his debut album will be!”

"It's the first album! It will definitely contain all the good works. I just have to look forward to it!"

"I'm going to play the prophet again. This time Brother Frog will teach the entire Chinese music scene a lesson!"

"The keyboard is ready! I want to recommend it to everyone!!!"

But some people have concerns:

“I’m afraid…the album won’t be good…”

"I'm afraid too. If I make a mistake, the higher I go, the more painful it will be. It hurts me too."

"After watching the trailer, I found that the entire trailer was constantly paving the way for the R&B (rhythm and blues) and rap styles. It is certain that this is an R&B and rap album.

However, Cheng Cheng's previous works were mostly rock, interspersed with some pop, pop rock and folk songs.

It cannot be said that he does not have R&B and rap, but there are only one or two songs, and these one or two are not his most representative and highest-rated works.

Before, I was most looking forward to him releasing a rock album, a pop album, or even a folk album, but I never expected him to release an R&B and rap album. To be honest, I really don’t understand it. As a first album, it is too risky to change the style rashly. This is not his comfort zone. ”

"This album is very important. If all the songs are good and dominate the charts, the headlines of the media articles will be [King of Songs Sung Cheng dominates the Chinese entertainment industry].

If there is no classic song and the overall song list is bad, then the media and black fans (some other people's fans) will say that "Sung Cheng can only release singles but not albums."

Although albums are a product of the CD era, and many singers no longer release albums, and the entire world's music industry is moving towards the direction of singles, singers with aspirations will still have a special obsession with albums no matter what market environment they face. Albums are the most direct channel for listeners to get to know a singer.

Since Cheng Cheng has decided to make an album, I hope he can do well and don’t want him to fail! ”

"Making an album is the right decision. Singers make singles, but musicians make albums. Cheng Cheng is already the best of the younger generation of Chinese music. He must have a solid album to further his fame. Because making a good album is more complicated and interesting than making a single."

"For an album, as long as the single is finished and released, it's fine. But in addition to filling the album with pleasant songs, the album also needs to consider factors such as the overall quality, concept, and the natural and smooth transition of the song sequence. There are many more things to consider."

But some people have different opinions:
"I can only look forward to it. This is Cheng Cheng, who wrote "The Internationale"!"

"Faced with all this garbage on the ground, I really don't know how Frog Bro can lose!"

Finally, the time came to 12:1 am on December 11st.

There are 10 minutes left until the release of Fantasy.

The publicity and promotion resources of the entire network have reached their peak at this moment!

ZZ Music, the largest music platform in China, recommended the following on its homepage:

[Fantasy is released]

[The first album of the King of Pop! All of Cheng Cheng’s wild and imaginative musical ideas are here]

And also made a very eye-catching countdown:
9: 58: 42
Special #Fantasy# topic sections have also been opened on Weibo, Douyin, Bilibili, Kuaishou, and Zhihu.

At this moment, tens of millions of listeners, singers, record company bosses, actors, stars, directors, agents, music critics, internet celebrities...

Domestic and foreign……

The entire network's attention was focused on him.

They all gathered together to witness the birth of Cheng Cheng’s first album.
