After walking out of Wanda Cinema, Director Han went home first.

Fang Ziheng and Chen Yu found a restaurant near their home for a late-night snack.

At the dining table, Chen Yu was holding warm rice wine and said with a smile: "Our distribution department has made a rough estimate of the movie. It is estimated that the box office can reach 80 million, and 100 million is not impossible."

"100000000!"

"Brother Yu, I accept your good advice, if it really exceeds 100 million, I will treat you to a big dinner."

Fang Ziheng was happy, no matter what China Film's speculation was, at least they had confidence in "The Unknown".

Two days ago, Deng Chao and others also made predictions about the box office, believing that the box office will exceed 60 million.

He also made box office predictions but was too embarrassed to tell them.

In the previous life, "The Unknown" was released in 2018. Without any publicity, it earned nearly 800 million at the box office due to its high reputation.

I remember that when the final box office total came out, I was really shocked.

In 2018, a movie with a production cost of only 30 million yuan, no famous director, no big stars, and no publicity, achieved a high box office of nearly 800 million yuan.

This is not a big profit, but a bloody profit!

A small-budget film has created a net profit of 200 million for the producer. This is the dream project of many film companies.

In this life, the movie's release time has been pushed forward ten years.

To be honest, Fang Ziheng doesn't know how much box office it will achieve in the end.

After all, the film market in early 2009 was very different from that in 2018, and he didn’t remember how many fast screens there were when “The Unknown” opened in 2018.

Another thing, movie ticket prices in 2018 are incomparable to what they are now. They were so cheap.

Half an hour later, Huang Bo, Bao Qiang, and Deng came towards them with excited smiles on their faces.

"Director, I want to eat clam shells!"

As soon as Song Yi entered the door, she went straight to the ordering area, mumbling about aquatic products.

"Eat as you say, you're a treat tonight!"

Fang Ziheng rolled his eyes and said dissatisfiedly, he had never seen such a rude little girl.

"I want to eat, and I'll treat you as a treat." The little girl retorted in a low voice, and ordered a lot of them confidently.

"Tsk tsk... tsk tsk"

Deng looked left and right at the guy, revealing his obscene aunty laugh, which made Sun Li pinch him several times.

After a while, the food and wine were served. Fang Ziheng gave everyone a toast and said: "Everyone go back and have an early rest tonight. The second round of promotion will start tomorrow."

"Are you with us?" Song Yi looked over and asked expectantly.

"Of course, I'm the director, how can I be left out of the promotion!"

Fang Ziheng hummed twice and gave the little girl a clam shell to stuff her mouth.

"Everyone is working hard. If the box office is strong, I will send red envelopes to everyone!"

"Don't worry, director, this is what we actors do."

"Haha...Zi Heng, you said you were going to give out red envelopes, and I became very energetic."

.........

After a late-night snack until eleven o'clock in the evening, Fang Ziheng parted ways with everyone and returned to his den near Beidian.

Hengyu arranged a hotel for the leading actors and made do with it for one night.

The next publicity is very important. The first stop is naturally the Imperial Capital. We will first visit the four major districts in the city, and then visit the Third Ring Road, Fourth Ring Road and other prosperous neighborhoods.

After promoting the Imperial Capital, we still have to fly to first-tier ticket warehouse cities such as Magic Capital, Yangcheng, Shencheng, and Jinmen.

Then we have to travel to seven or eight economically strong provinces, and it takes almost half a month to complete one cycle.

Movie promotion is like this, and there must be no falsehoods. When the leading actor arrives in a city and visits a few more cinemas, it can attract many local people to the cinema, thereby increasing the box office little by little.

After taking a shower, Fang Ziheng came to the bedroom with a cup of hot tea and opened his laptop.

First click on professional websites such as Douban, Time.com, and Movie Express. There are already movie reviews posted by fast film critics.

Douban Movie Column, film critic Zhou Hong - "After watching the movie, I have to say that "The Unknown" is a superb film. The new director Fang Ziheng brought a big surprise to me and the audience."

Time.com Movie Channel, Film Critic Wang You - "The best comedy film of the year, beating "If You Are the One" and "Unfortunately"!"

At first glance, Fang Ziheng knew that the two people above had accepted Andy's red envelope.

Damn, the praise is not even to the point, why should I add a few sentences of analysis of the plot!

I kept refreshing the web page, and more and more movie reviews appeared on the Internet.

The second wave is more professional, analyzing "The Unknown" in detail from all angles of plot, narrative, logic, details, structure, shots, and lines.

After the analysis, I will give a final summary. Their film critics are very optimistic about this movie and highly recommend it.

After reading many movie reviews in detail, Fang Ziheng called 666!

He is truly worthy of being a film critic, his words are clear and logical, and his analysis is more professional than that of a director.

After watching it for a while, he clicked on Tencent, Sina and other media websites. Before Weibo came out, these two portals plus NetEase were the most powerful ones.

Media reporters are not very professional. They are shocked no matter what. They charge money to do things and brag to death.

Tencent was the most outrageous, hanging a red banner on the homepage of the entertainment section.

There is a line of large block letters clearly written on it.

"The Unknown, the best movie of the new year!"

Then there were several movie posters and photos of crowded premieres.

Then comes the reporter's praise. After a set of procedures, it not only highlights the hot topics but also makes the words watery.

Buzz buzz...

Just as Fang Ziheng was looking at it in fascination, his phone suddenly vibrated.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"What! You guys are coming downstairs to my house right now!"

After hanging up the phone, Fang Ziheng was stunned. He quickly took off his bath towel and found his pajamas to put on.

Five minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

Fang Ziheng opened the door, and there were two wrapped figures standing outside.

"Come in quickly, why are you here?"

Two figures entered the door one after the other, taking off their hats and scarves, revealing two beautiful faces.

Concubine Lin looked around the room a few times and lamented: "Andy and I were nervous and couldn't sleep."

"Are you nervous, but I'm not?"

Andy carried a bag of food, walked to the sofa area and sat down, without any intention of being a guest.

"No... why did you come to my house if you couldn't sleep?"

Fang Ziheng gave the two people water while squinting at the two beauties.

He is just the boss of the company and is not responsible for comforting employees' emotions.

Concubine Lin took off her coat, revealing her slender figure, and walked back and forth in the living room: "You don't understand, this is the first movie I have produced."

Okay, Sister Lin is nervous!

It was her first time to make a movie. Sister Lin had a heavy responsibility, and the zero-point box office was about to be released. She was so excited that she rushed Andy over to find Fang Ziheng.

Passing the tea cup over, Fang Ziheng patted her shoulder angrily and said with a smile: "Relax, I am the director, what are you afraid of?"

"Just because you are the director, we are worried!" Andy lay on the sofa and murmured to himself with half-squinted eyes.

Fang Ziheng: "......"

Very good, you are such an employee!

I said, why are you running here?

Why don't you trust me?

Facing the doubts from the company's two generals, Fang Ziheng had no choice but to respond head-on to restore his boss's prestige.

"Your worries are completely overblown. China Film Distribution Department is no more professional than you. They all dare to bet. What are we, Hengyu, afraid of?"

Pushing Sister Lin's shoulders to help her sit down, Fang Ziheng gave in and said, "Do you know what Chen Yu told me?"

"How to say?"

The two beauties' eyes lit up and they looked at each other.

After telling Chen Yu and his publishing department's speculation about "The Unknown Man", Fang Ziheng raised a finger and waved it in front of them.

"This number!"

"Hiss... 100 million!" Lin Feifei exclaimed, breathing rapidly.

"That guy can't be lying to you. Anyway, China Film Distribution will definitely make some money."

Andy also sat up straight and pointed out the problem, with a hint of disbelief on his cold expression.

Fang Ziheng laughed angrily, and suddenly found that these two beautiful subordinates were becoming more and more resentful.

"Okay, you don't believe it, right? How about we make a bet?"

"What to bet on?"

"Just bet..."

Buzz buzz...

Just as Fang Ziheng was about to speak, his phone rang again.

"Shh...Chen Yu's phone call."

After making a silent gesture to the two women, Fang Ziheng answered the phone.

"Hey, Brother Yu..."

There was silence on the other side of the phone. Fang Ziheng and Sister Lin, who had come over to eavesdrop, looked at each other, and their hearts suddenly tightened.

Damn it!

You can’t really pounce!

Did the two crows in front of me really get it right?

Three seconds later, Chen Yu's laughter came from the phone.

"Director Fang, congratulations, as of now, the box office of zero-point screenings in 650 theaters across the country has been released."

"1.86 million!"
