Chapter 99: Box Office Hit
Many people thought of "Cocoon" as another vulgar domestic thriller, but they didn't expect it to give them such a big surprise.
The director created an atmosphere of horror particularly well. Not the kind of low-level horror that surprised the audience with jump scares, but the kind that psychologically scared them.
In the first half of the movie, many viewers were frightened and screamed again and again, but in the second half, the cinema was silent. Everyone was immersed in extremely depressing and painful emotions. That feeling was even worse than the first half because it was the kind of thorough heart-piercing cold. This kind of depression and pain happened all around everyone, even to themselves.
A woman had to be a good sister, to be modest, to be sensible and obedient, to always take care of the family, to have husband and child, to obey and tolerate, to reflect on yourself first...
These bits and pieces of life forced Yu Li from a normal person into a lunatic. In fact, she had already had symptoms of postpartum depression, but no one cared about it.
At the end of the movie, Yu Li dragged her husband to death. It seemed that she was completely relieved, like a butterfly spreading her beautiful wings, but everyone knew that this was a tragedy that shouldn't have happened.
When the audience went out, the expressions of the audience were more solemn, especially women. Several young girls were even sobbing as they walked, chanting, "Yu Li is so miserable and pitiful."
The boyfriend around them wanted to give some comfort, but they were thrown away by their girlfriends saying, "It’s all your fault."
Tang Qiaoqiao walked out of the cinema with the crowd and saw the expressions of the audience. She was both relieved and embarrassed, and at the same time, it seemed that she was back to those days when she was Yu Li.
Shen Yue shook her hand and said firmly, "You will not become Yu Li. No matter what you want to do, I will support you."
Tang Qiaoqiao smiled and squeezed his hand back tightly.
Soon the first wave of "Cocoon" movie-watchers feedback was released, and there was a lively discussion on the Internet.
【I was prepared to spend the ticket money for nothing, but I didn't expect to cry so much. I feel sorry for the heroine. When her daughter died, it was passed off so lightly. Her husband's family is really vicious.】
【I felt the same way. Yu Li and I have many similar experiences. When I gave birth, I was lying in the delivery room with people coming and going. I was like a rag with no dignity. My mother-in-law only knew to look at her grandson. It was really chilling at that time】
【I was in a marriage that felt like widowhood. I was all alone coaxing my child to sleep, and my mother-in-law disliked me as a bad mother. My husband was praised as a good dad after a little hug (vomiting)】
【This single dog does not have Yu Li's life experience yet, but it looks so suffocating. If it's me, I would be crazy long ago】
【There are really too few domestic movies that reflect the plight of women's survival. I'm making crazy calls for "Cocoon" and Tang Qiaoqiao. If you haven't watched it, please prepare tissues!】
【Not to mention the depth of the plot, Tang Qiaoqiao's acting is worthy of a Best Actress nomination. She changed from being suspicious in the early stage to completely crazy in the back. That look really scared me】
【As a Sugar Rabbit, I was worried that the movie would not look good. I was embarrassed to invite my classmates to go. Now I want to invite the whole class to watch. Actually, I have to do it twice! I am proud of Qiao Bao! 】
......
The movie continued to receive praise, and more and more audiences were selling promotions to everybody.
The Douban score was as high as 8.2, which was the highest-rated domestic thriller in recent years. The good reputation brought more audiences in, and the movie theatres naturally increased the number of filming sessions.
In just three days of its release, the box office of "Cocoon" exceeded 200 million. For a domestically produced thriller with a low cost, this achievement was remarkable. People in the industry were quite shocked.
And the previous marketing gossip account "Eight Entertainment Master" who once vowed that if "Cocoon" was not a bad film, he would eat his keyboard on live broadcasts, obediently confessed to his fate. He hit a side ball and ate a bar of keyboard-shaped chocolate. He posted the ticket stub for an exclusive show and apologized to Tang Qiaoqiao. Netizens certainly wouldn't force him to eat a real keyboard, but this marketing gossip account had since become everyone's joke.
"Cocoon" was released in full swing, with a high degree of discussion. The box office numbers skyrocketed. When it was released, the box office exceeded one billion.
The explosion of this movie made Tang Qiaoqiao, the other leading actors and little-known directors become famous, but netizens discovered that the real winner was actually Shen Yue!
As the sole producer of the movie, he made a lot of money. He soon established a subsidiary company called "Shuang Qiao Media" to enter the film and television industry.
Netizens had to eat lemons again. Look at this strategic vision. He had won the heart of a beauty and made a lot of money. Who wouldn’t be envious!
At the same time, Tang Qiaoqiao returned to the filming crew of "Warriors" after running the promotional campaigns. Because of the cheating rumors before, Tang Qiaoqiao later simply posted a live broadcast every time everyone had a meal together. Not only did the black fans have nothing to say, but it could also provide an additional channel for the crew to promote. Cheng Biao was happy to see it.
As a result, it became a great pleasure for netizens to watch the crew of "Warriors" eat every day.
True love fans also recorded what the actors ate every day, while career fans were different. They always supervised the actors' appetite. Don't eat too much or too much oil, etc., which would affect their appearance.
However, the fans' worries were unnecessary. Tang Qiaoqiao always paid attention to the combination of meat and vegetables to balance nutrition with taste. She asked Aunt Wang to deliver her fresh vegetables from her garden continuously. These vegetables were nourished by her spiritual energy. It was difficult to buy elsewhere. Not only would the actors not gain weight, but long-term consumption would be very beneficial to the human body.
The actors of the "Warriors" crew had a meal of Tang Qiaoqiao for a month or two, they were full of energy, and their skins were more dewy.
The actors of other crews were basically exhausted in the later stage of the filming, but the actors of the crew of "Warriors" became more and more brilliant. The actors were usually careless, and it was not obvious to them, but actresses were extremely sensitive to the state of their skin. They found that their skin became better after freeloading off of Tang Qiaoqiao's food.
To express their gratitude, they gave Tang Qiaoqiao a lot of delicious and fun things, which were not very expensive but full of sincere thoughts.
When they learned that Tang Qiaoqiao used vegetables she grew herself, they all agreed that the pure green vegetables she grew had the effect of beautifying and detoxifying. They all proposed to spend a sum of money to buy vegetables from her.
Tang Qiaoqiao noticed a business opportunity. It just so happened that her popularity was soaring, and the spiritual power she obtained from people who liked her was increasing day by day. The area she could manipulate was no longer limited to the small back garden.
She discussed with Shen Yue and developed a large area behind Shen Yue's villa to grow vegetables. She also opened up an area for raising chickens and ducks.
When the vegetables were ripe, Tang Qiaoqiao called out orders on WeChat. Although the price was much higher than that of ordinary vegetables, it was still robbed clean.
Later, Tang Qiaoqiao's vegetable planting and breeding business became bigger and bigger, and she also had her own farm. But this was something for later.
Entering June, the filming of "Warriors" finally came to an end after four months of shooting. Everyone was reluctant to leave the crew. Some actors even held Tang Qiaoqiao, and refused to let her go. They asked her what her next work would be. They wanted to join even if they were going there to make soy sauce.
Tang Qiaoqiao: 'No. It's not necessary.'
Not long after the finale, Tang Qiaoqiao received another piece of good news. Her film "Cocoon" was nominated for the annual Golden Pearl Film Festival. She herself was nominated for Best Actress.
