Feng Xiaogang! Praising Wang Hao?
Was his account hacked?
Is this something he could say?

This was the first thought that came to the minds of Internet spectators after seeing Feng Xiaogang's post.

After all, in the eyes of the general public, this person is known for his sharp tongue and narrow-mindedness. It is simply a blessing in disguise that he could praise a new director so much.

So not long after the post was published, the general public and Feng Xiaogang's fans immediately left comments on his blog post.

[Director Feng, is that you? Is it really you? If it is you, just say something!]

[Director Feng, if someone points a gun at you, just blink! ]

[Director Feng, I still like the way you looked down on everyone back then.]

[Sorry, Director Feng just drank too much. ]

Netizens either took Feng Xiaogang's blog post seriously or made fun of it, but who knew that this behavior would actually attract the real person.

Under the first few comments, he actually replied one by one with remarks such as "guaranteed authenticity", "I don't need that little money, there's no need to go against my conscience and tell lies", "Heroes appreciate heroes, I won't be polite to those who are incompetent" and so on.

There was no politeness in his words, and his foul-mouthed way of speaking made many netizens confirm that he was Feng Xiaogang.

[It turns out to be Director Feng! ]

[I can't believe it. This is too exaggerated. I've never seen Feng Xiaogang praise a movie like this.]

[Director Feng, which directors are incompetent? Please tell us in detail! ]

[Since even Director Feng has praised it, I am really interested in going to see it. Is there anyone in Beijing with you? ]

Feng Xiaogang's personal testimony has maximized the curiosity of netizens about the movie "Wushuang". If most audiences are skeptical about the reviews of other film critics, netizens are willing to believe Feng Xiaogang's reviews.

After all, Feng Xiaogang is well-known in the entertainment industry for his straightforward temper and foul mouth, and he will not be polite because of the other person's identity and status.

Based on what we know about him, it doesn't seem like he would take money to promote a movie.

What's more, Wang Hao is just a newcomer in the entertainment industry, while Feng Xiaogang is a senior in the director circle. Such praise is essentially the senior using his own fame to guarantee the junior.

If the audience found out that he was forcibly praising a bad movie, it would be equivalent to sacrificing his own reputation to help newcomers. A smart man like Feng Xiaogang would not do such a loss-making business.

So when Feng Xiaogang, like many film critics, gave high praise to "Wushuang", the movie's box office performance saw a significant increase in the following days.

Of course, what Wang Hao and others are more concerned about now is the movie’s first-day box office.

The data arrived in Wang Hao's hands the next day.

1100 million!
This data is only slightly higher than the first-day box office of "Baby Project", but not as good as "The Banquet".

However, after seeing the data, Wang Hao was not worried. After all, "Night Banquet" was released first and there were not many competitors.

However, Wang Hao and his team's "Wushuang" will face the diversion of "Baby Project". Although he believes that the quality of "Wushuang" is better than "Baby Project", the reputation of Brother Cheng Long is still very important nowadays, and it is far from the situation in later generations where bad movies such as "Kung Fu Yoga" and "Dragon Horse Spirit" have consumed his favorability.

The two are competing with each other, and the overall domestic box office is so small. Under the mutual influence, the results are naturally much worse.

You should know that compared with the performance of "Wushuang", the box office of "Baby Project" dropped a lot after the release of "Wushuang".

"Don't worry, this result is already very good!"

Huo Wenxi, who also came to check the data, saw Wang Hao was silent and thought that he was not satisfied with the box office of the premiere, so he said to comfort him:
"After all, Baby Project was released a few days earlier, so its performance will surely decline quickly, and the extra screenings will definitely be ours. And judging from the feedback from the premiere audience, the market's acceptance of our film is not low, so there is still a lot of room for box office success.

As long as word of mouth spreads, the box office will definitely go up!"

"I'm not worried about the box office." Wang Hao came back to his senses from Huo Wenxi's words, looked at the chart in his hand again, and said with a smile: "It's just that I'm afraid everyone will be busy again in the next period of time."

The premiere of the film is just the beginning. Next, he will lead the film's leading actors to start a national roadshow in the next few days, visiting at least the four first-tier cities and several second-tier cities.

He had experienced this process before when "The Call" was released. Although he didn't hate it, he definitely didn't like it.

After all, anyone would be exhausted if they had to travel to one city a day. Moreover, the leading actors could take leave or be replaced for publicity, but he, as the director, could not take leave.

Just when Wang Hao and others were running the roadshow painfully and happily, the box office results of "Wushuang" in the following days were also released.

Box office of "Wushuang" on the second day of release: 1360 million

Box office of "Wushuang" on the third day of release: 1820 million

Box office of "Wushuang" on the fourth day of release: 1910 million

After four days of release, the box office has successfully exceeded 6200 million. This result has surpassed "The Banquet" and even surpassed "The Baby Project".

The most crucial thing is that because the movie has an excellent reputation and the box office trend is very stable, it has firmly occupied the largest share of screenings. It is certain that the box office of "Wushuang" will inevitably increase in the future.

As "Wushuang" became a hit, more people watched the movie, and the reviews for the movie on the Internet and in the media became higher, forming a positive cycle.

You should know that although the development of the Internet today is not as fast as in later generations, according to national statistics, the number of Internet users in 06 has reached 1.32 million, which is an astronomical figure for the entertainment industry.

Even if only one-third or one-quarter of them are interested in the movie, it would be enough to create a craze.

Moreover, the subject matter of the movie "Wushuang" is a rare crime suspense film in mainland China, which makes it even more popular.

[I'll take care of the circuit board, and you'll take care of the color-changing ink.]

[In-depth analysis of "Wushuang" to reveal the true face of the painter. 】

[The banknotes are fake, but my love for you is real. ]

[Sometimes fake ones are more useful than real ones. ]

……

There is a lot of heated discussion online, and it is also very popular in offline cinemas.

During the National Day holiday, apart from traveling, people nowadays have few entertainment activities, so watching a movie naturally becomes a good choice.

What is this movie about? Whoever is popular, of course, is the one to watch.

So on the ninth day of the release of "Wushuang", the movie box office successfully broke through the 100 million yuan mark.

It took Wang Hao 17 days to achieve this result with his previous film "Fatal Call", but now it only took him half the time to make "Wushuang".

This speed once again shocked the entire entertainment industry. At least for now, this speed of box office exceeding 100 million is still unique in mainland China.
