The first day of the Jin Ya Film Festival.
Initial D exploded across the domestic entertainment industry!
No one expected this film’s plot to have so many twists and turns.
Overall, it was incredibly thrilling, but within that thrill, Jiangnan's blades were at play. This time, he didn't cut people, but hearts, directly cuckolding the protagonist, something none of the audience anticipated.
"Damn it, when I first started watching the movie, I thought Natsuki was a good girl, but who knew she was like this!"
"Actually, Natsuki was pretty good. At least she intended to break up with her uncle, just a bit late. If it were me, I'd forgive her."
"Some people are still making excuses. It seems there are still many honest people..."
"Damn it, don't let the old thief Jiangnan see this. If he really comes out with a drama where the male lead forgives the female lead for being cuckolded, that would be fucked up!"
"What are you guys talking about? Don't give the old thief any inspiration!"
They were scared.
Jiangnan's fans were truly terrified.
After so many films and TV shows, their resilience to being emotionally cut had grown significantly. Even if a few important supporting characters died, they could remain unfazed.
Even if the protagonist died, they would only grumble a few curses.
But now that Jiangnan had let loose and started playing with the cuckoldry theme, his fans found it a bit unbearable.
What was most unsettling was that this plot, in this context, fit perfectly. In everyone's mind, it was even the best possible plot, as Natsuki was crucial to Takumi Fujiwara's growth.
If he was cuckolded, then so be it.
But this trend could not be encouraged. If the old thief Jiangnan suddenly went mad and wrote a TV series where the male lead was cuckolded and then forgave, that would truly be unacceptable!
...
Whether it was the plot or its ability to generate memes, Initial D was undoubtedly outstanding.
Coupled with Ting Yu's contribution, the opening day results were quite surprising.
Originally, according to everyone's predictions, it would rank fourth.
Unexpectedly, it surpassed India's "The Runner" and Han Country's "Newborn," securing the second position.
And it was only twenty million yuan behind the first-place film, "The Count's Love."
Even more surprising was that the highest box office contribution came from the domestic market.
With a total box office of 870 million, the domestic market contributed around 600 million to Initial D.
"Heh, we underestimated Mr. Su Yu's influence in the domestic market." Morita Yui was so happy she couldn't stop smiling.
If it weren't for the support of so many people in the domestic market, Initial D's performance would have been close to their predictions, perhaps fourth or slightly better, third.
But no one expected that the domestic market, despite Jiangnan's harsh criticism, would deliver such solid box office numbers.
"Whether in China or other countries, most of the box office revenue went to support Ting Yu's new songs and his fans' curiosity to see him race cars," said Morita Yumi.
"What does it matter? Whether it's Ting Yu or Jiangnan, they are both Mr. Su Yu," Morita Yui waved her hand.
"This result is indeed very good. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to secure second place in the film festival," Morita Yumi said with a hint of envy.
"Heh, Mr. Su Yu wants first place. How can I be satisfied with second?"
"What do you want to do?"
"We are already working with the publicity department, mobilizing Nivi Entertainment's highest level of publicity to fully promote Initial D worldwide. This first place is not only beneficial for Mr. Jiangnan but also very important for us at Nivi Entertainment. After all, it's been so many years, and we finally have a good result."
If it were only in third or fourth place, Morita Yui wouldn't have done this, as the gap was too large, and any promotion would be futile.
But the current situation was that Initial D, relying solely on the Chinese market, had already reached second place, only twenty million yuan behind the leader. In such circumstances, if she didn't make preparations to fight for first place, she wouldn't be Morita Yui.
...
The second day of the Jin Ya Film Festival.
Advertisements for Initial D were plastered everywhere across the world!
Previously, the promotion focused on Ting Yu and Jiangnan, but this time, compared to the earlier advertisements, the focus was clearly more on the film's content.
With such a large-scale advertising campaign.
The popularity of Initial D naturally became incredibly explosive!
Even on overseas social platforms and major websites' trending lists, this movie could be seen.
Of course, after spending such a large sum on advertising, it naturally yielded very good results.
By the end of the second day, the box office for Initial D had reached 1.3 billion, surpassing the British film "The Count's Love" by fifty million.
If the British side made no further moves on the third day, Initial D would win first place this time!
However, the other side naturally wouldn't allow Initial D to promote itself so freely.
They also increased their promotional investment.
To secure first place at the Jin Ya Film Festival, the two world-class entertainment companies were engaged in a fierce battle across their respective promotional channels!
Even at this point, the outcome of the competition was still uncertain.
But after Su Yu posted a Weibo, the balance was completely broken.
"Don't doubt it, that Wuling Hongguang was driven by me. Racing on Akina Mountain was very exciting. Please give more support to Jiangnan's film, Initial D!"
Ting Yu, who hadn't updated Weibo in a long time, proactively promoted Jiangnan.
If it were in the past, it wouldn't have been anything special.
But this time, in addition to promoting the film, he also admitted that he was the one driving the Wuling in the easter egg.
This made some fans who were still on the fence unable to resist.
They rushed directly to the cinemas to buy tickets.
Furthermore, Ting Yu speaking out for Jiangnan suppressed the public opinion that labeled Jiangnan a traitor, as they didn't know how to directly confront Ting Yu, who was currently the object of gratitude for the entire domestic entertainment industry.
With this obstacle removed, even more people went to the cinema.
At the same time.
The singer group also began to exert their influence.
"To help Initial D reach the top of the Jin Ya Film Festival, anyone who watches Initial D can get a 50% discount on their entire bill at Gong Shixiong Hot Pot with their movie ticket!"
"To help Initial D..."
Gong Ju Ren's family hot pot chain was renowned nationwide.
Zhou Tao and Zhao De's brothers, focusing on Sichuan cuisine restaurants, had already achieved chain status in most cities. Coupled with Jiang Xiao E's other ventures, all offered a 50% discount with a movie ticket!
With the support of the singer group.
Regardless of whether they were in the entertainment industry or not.
Everyone's interest was piqued to watch this film. At the very least, after watching it, they could go for a delicious meal with friends.
In short, Initial D was the film Jiangnan had promoted the most so far.
Whether it could secure first place at the Jin Ya Film Festival.
All depended on the box office results of the third day!
