Everyone is watching the real-time box office!

In the dozen hours since the opening of the New Year's Eve box office, the box office of "Lost Signal" and "A Little Thing Called First Love" has been very close. The box office gap between them has always fluctuated within a small range, and the competition is extremely fierce.

At this time, it was already 11:30, and there were only 30 minutes left before the closing of the first day of the New Year's Eve season.

Currently, the box office of "Lost Signal" is 3.13 million.

The box office of "A Little Thing Called First Love" was 3.08 million yuan.

Only five million behind!

In fact, by this time, "A Little Thing Called First Love" has already made its money back, recovering all costs on the day of its release, and it has grossed 300 million yuan at the box office with a cost of more than 100 million yuan, which is absolutely a miracle.

But everyone is still watching!

Everyone is still looking forward to it!
I want to see if "A Little Thing Called First Love" can create a bigger miracle!

I want to see whether "A Little Thing Called First Love" can surpass "Lost Signal" and win the first-day box office championship during the New Year's Eve holiday!

On Weibo:
"There's still half an hour left, the competition is too fierce!"

"Both movies are great, so it makes sense for whoever wins the first-day box office wins!"

"In fact, to some extent, "A Little Thing Called First Love" has already won. Whether it is the rate of return or the profit, "A Little Thing Called First Love" has won!"

"I like Lost Signal very much, but I have to admit that although Lost Signal is good, it is a good movie that can be copied, while A Little Thing Called First Love cannot be copied! In a sense, it is a unique work, a masterpiece, a work that can only be born when the right time, right place and right people are all present. Even if Cheng Cheng makes another movie, I think it is unlikely to surpass this one, so I hope A Little Thing Called First Love wins!"

"This is really a fight between gods! If 'The Way Home' was released in another time slot, it would have the potential to win the box office, but it ended up meeting two gods, one old and one young. It's like they chose the time slot without considering the lunar calendar."

"Hahahaha, 'Sanshui Wedding' is pretty good, but it's really pitiful. The first day box office didn't even reach 2000 million. Sorry, I laughed out loud."

Vance Films.

Jiang Wang stared at the computer screen nervously!

The national box office data is presented in the form of a line chart, and each line represents the box office trend of a film.

Two of them show a steep upward trend from the very beginning, climbing almost at a vertical angle.

The two lines represent "A Little Thing Called First Love" and "Lost Signal" respectively.

In contrast to these two lines, the other three lines are horizontal.

At this time, the two lines representing "A Little Thing Called First Love" and "Lost Signal" were showing very exaggerated numbers. Sometimes you surpassed me, and sometimes I surpassed you. When "Lost Signal" surpassed "A Little Thing Called First Love", Jiang Wang would be very anxious and speak to the computer screen: Overtake quickly!
When "A Little Thing Called First Love" surpassed "Lost Signal", he was so excited and nervous, hoping that "A Little Thing Called First Love" would maintain this lead until after midnight.

At this moment, he didn't look like the president of the second largest cinema chain in the country. He was as immature as a teenager, with his emotions written all over his face.

But there is nothing we can do about it!
He has waited too long for this day!

In fact, 10 years ago, Jiang Wang realized that it was not enough to just run a cinema chain, and that he would inevitably be eliminated!
This consideration is multifaceted:
First of all, from the perspective of industry development trends, with the gradual saturation of the market and the intensification of competition, simple cinema expansion is unlikely to bring about sustained and significant growth.

By participating in film production, we can extend the industrial chain upstream and obtain new profit growth points.

At the same time, mastering content resources also means having more say and initiative in market competition. And Quanzhou Pictures has already started to do so and has achieved initial success. If he does not follow suit, then his market share will only be squeezed little by little, and he will never have the hope of surpassing Quanzhou Pictures.

Secondly, from the perspective of operational risks, relying solely on theater operations may face greater risks.

Factors such as fluctuations in the film market, uneven film quality, and changes in audience tastes may all have an impact on theater operations. By participating in film production, theaters can better grasp market dynamics and audience demand, reduce operating risks, and take more initiative in negotiations with film producers.

The last point, and the most important one, is that if you occupy both upstream and downstream of the industrial chain at the same time, it is equivalent to forming your own ecology and good synergy, which will give you a very strong competitive advantage, and you will eventually become stronger and stronger and bring you extremely rich profits.
But the idea is beautiful, and the reality is cruel.

Jiang Wang put in a lot of effort to get into the upstream of the industry chain, but without exception he was besieged by Quanzhou Pictures and lost all his face. Even with the last hit "All or Nothing", Jiang Wang didn't make any profit, he just managed to save a little bit.

So, "A Little Thing Called First Love" is his first work that he bet on right!
Of course he hopes that "A Little Thing Called First Love" can win the box office championship!
By then, the reputation of Jiang Wang and Vance Pictures will be cleansed like never before!

In dormitory 211, the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

Ling Qi's face was extremely ugly, so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

Xing Fei had already climbed onto the bed and closed the curtains, isolating herself from the outside world.

If "A Little Thing Called First Love" did poorly at the box office, she would stand on Ling Qi's side without hesitation and humiliate Yan Gou'er and Wang Hong.

But now, it is hard to tell which is better between "A Little Thing Called First Love" and "Lost Signal", and it is an indisputable fact that Yan Gou'er has become a second-tier actress. She would have to be crazy to get involved!

To put it simply, she gave in!

It’s no good if you don’t admit it!

The power of a second-tier actress, the forces behind her should pay attention to it. She has no need to provoke Yan Gou'er for no reason. She even thought about how to reconcile with Yan Gou'er. After all, they were in the same dormitory. What could be unresolved? It's not a deep hatred, right?

"Xiao Gou'er, look at this comment, 'The best first love movie I've ever seen, the two protagonists were both well chosen.' Wow, netizens are praising you, and more than 1 people liked it!" Wang Hong took out her phone to show Yan Gou'er, and even deliberately amplified the volume, as if she wanted everyone to hear it. While speaking, she also glanced at Ling Qi.

"And this one," Wang Hong continued, "'I hope 'A Little Thing Called First Love' can win the vote, so that more directors can learn the correct way to shoot a youth romance film.' It got 1,500 likes, and the support is very high~"

Yan Gou'er's eyes were filled with blame. He put down Wang Hong's phone and whispered:

"Honghong, okay, stop talking."

Wang Hong refused to give up. She continued to browse her phone, picking out the comments and reading:
"This is my favorite, saying 'Yan Gou'er's acting skills are remarkable and she is improving rapidly. I hope she can become a big star in the future!'"

Today, she must help her best friend complete this decoration!
Ling Qi clenched her hands so tightly that her nails dug deep into her flesh.

In fact, judging from the results, Yan Gou'er has already won, because Yan Gou'er is the heroine of "A Little Thing Called First Love", and "A Little Thing Called First Love" is sure to be a hit, with a box office of 20 billion yuan at all, and she is only the fourth female in "Lost Signal", and she is not qualified to be compared with Yan Gou'er at all!

But she still holds on to the last glimmer of hope, hoping that the first-day box office of "Lost Signal" can exceed that of "A Little Thing Called First Love", as if in this way, she can find a trace of comfort and balance, as if in this way, she can still retain the last bit of dignity and not lose so completely!
Finally, midnight arrives!
The first day box office was frozen!
"A Little Thing Called First Love" 3.31 million!
"Lost Signal" 3.28 million!
With a click, Ling Qi's cell phone fell to the ground. Her face turned pale, as if the whole world had collapsed. The sense of superiority that she used to be proud of in front of Yan Gou'er and Wang Hong was lost in an instant, and even turned into endless panic and inferiority, making her not know how to face Yan Gou'er or herself in the future.

"Ah!" Wang Hong jumped three feet high and cheered, "Xiao Gou'er, we won the vote championship! Our movie surpassed Master Gong!"

Yan Gou'er lowered his head, with the corners of his mouth raised: "Yeah, I knew that Director Cheng would always create miracles!"

"Eh?" Wang Hong bent down, "Xiao Gou'er, are you sending a message to Director Cheng? Ah! No wonder you slept so late today, I thought you were waiting for the box office!"

Wochao (the temporary name Cheng Cheng gave to the villa)

On the long table, there are a variety of dishes, each of which is carefully prepared and has good color, aroma and taste.

A soft piano piece is playing slowly in the speakers. It is a very classic piano piece in the world.

Cheng Cheng was wearing a formal suit and sitting at one end of the long table with a smile on his face.

There was no one at the other end of the long table, but there was a complete set of bowls and chopsticks, as well as a full glass of juice on the table.

On the seat, the original classic skin was neatly laid out.

Cheng Cheng raised his glass from a distance and said, "Happy New Year, brother, and——"

"I have done everything I promised you. From now on, no one will stop us."

On his mobile phone, there are messages from countless people.

Beret, Li Yang, Meng Cai, Wen Lian, Qi Hao, Yan Gou'er, Lin Yin, Jiang Jun, Jiang Nan, Jiang Wang.
Everyone is telling the same truth:
"A Little Thing Called First Love" won!
