Chapter 440: Heading to the Lighthouse Country, the box office on the first day was 100 million US dollars

Zhang Xiao glanced out the window and said: "This pomp is a bit too big!"

Chen Li explained: "Mr. Herman mainly doesn't want another attack on you to happen."

"Oh!" Zhang Xiao snorted and said nonchalantly: "Except for that guy, I don't seem to have any grudges with anyone else!"

Chen Li smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, with your current worth, it's better to be careful in everything."

Zhang Xiao nodded and did not continue to struggle on this topic. He changed the topic and said: "Tonight, who are invited to the premiere of "Interstellar"?"

Chen Li thought for a while and said: "In addition to our Disney stars and actors who play Marvel heroes, we also mainly invited world-class directors, including your old friends Chris, Macron, and Luca

Si, Jackson, Cisco, Li Min, James Wan, etc."

Hearing the names of these people, Zhou Xun, Deng Cao, Zhang Yi, Duan Hong and others who were traveling with them were so shocked that their eyes almost dropped to the ground.

Damn it, these are world-class directors. I didn’t expect them to come back to attend the premiere of a movie in which they participated.

Even Chen Daoming, who had not spoken much, was extremely shocked.

The premiere of "Interstellar" seemed a bit too high!

Zhang Xiao didn't expect Disney to be able to invite all these people, and asked in surprise: "How did you do it?"

Chen Li smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, you may not know your status in Hollywood."

"Since "The Truman Show" and "The Wandering Planet" became popular around the world, you have entered the ranks of world-class directors."

"The trailer of "Interstellar" has been very successful, and the pre-sale box office has reached 420 million US dollars. In addition, our promotional slogan is to surpass "Interstellar" and hit the world box office championship, so it has attracted a lot of attention

Attention from big directors in the industry.”

"After receiving our premiere invitation, they agreed without hesitation."

"That's fine!" Zhang Xiao nodded after hearing this and continued: "Let "Cross the Stars" teach them a lesson and let them know that Chinese filmmakers are no worse than Hollywood."

After arriving at the Disney Hotel, Zhang Xiao received a call from Yang Mi as soon as he got out of the car.

"Husband, what do you think the opening box office of "Interstellar" was?"

"Let's just say, I'm very busy right now!"

"You are so boring. Let me tell you, the box office on the opening day this time reached 658 million, breaking the opening day box office record in China's history."

"Well, it's almost 100 million US dollars, which is not bad."

"Tomorrow will be even more awesome, because the filming volume of "Interstellar" has already reached a terrifying 75%."

"Holy shit, why are you so tall?" Zhang Xiao's whole body went numb.

Yang Mi briefly talked about the producer's application to postpone the release and distribution of "Interstellar" and increase the film schedule.

Said: "Husband, congratulations, "Interstellar" is a success. Judging from the current pre-sales situation, before the holiday ends on the sixth day of the first lunar month, the daily box office should not be less than 150 million US dollars."

"This has already broken the box office records of "The Wandering Planet" and "Wolf Warrior 2"."

"Great!" Zhang Xiao laughed loudly and said: "In this way, we have taken a big step closer to the original goal of "Crossing the Stars". Mimi, you can safely raise your baby at home, and other things will be done."

Leave it to the company's people to handle it, don't get tired."

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I'm just doing it remotely at home, I didn't go to the company." Yang Mi replied with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiao realized that everyone's eyes were on him.

Zhou Xun was the first to ask: "What was the domestic box office on the first day?"

Zhang Xiao sighed, pretending to be disappointed and said: "It's not high, only 658 million, less than 100 million US dollars."

"I'm going!"

"The box office on the first day was 658 million? This is crazy!"

"We succeeded."

Everyone seemed very excited when they heard this result.

Zhang Xiao raised his hand and pressed it, and said: "This is nothing. When we took the plane to the lighthouse country, a big thing happened in the domestic entertainment industry."

"I'm not too sure about the specific situation. You can check it out online. Anyway, the final result is very strange. In the entire Spring Festival, there are only three movies left: "Across the Stars", "Journey to the West to Conquer Demons" and "The Myth".

"And our "Interstellar" occupies 75% of the film schedule, and the tickets from now to the sixth day of the first lunar month have basically been sold out."

Chen Daoming narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this. After a while, he looked at Zhang Xiao and said, "Zhang Xiao, does this mean that our movie box office will not be less than one billion every day?"

Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "Yes, that's right."

Deng Cao said excitedly: "Doesn't that mean we can break the box office miracle of "Wolf Warrior 2"?"

Zhang Xiao rolled his eyes angrily and said to Deng Cao: "Brother Cao, the current domestic box office ranking is "The Wandering Planet", with a total of 8.2 billion. Our goal is 10 billion or even 1

Twelve billion."

Deng Cao raised his arm and pinched it hard.

"Ah~~"

Duan Hong screamed in pain and asked with a red face: "What are you doing?"

Deng Cao chuckled and said, "I just want to see if this is a dream."

Duan Hong angrily said: "Then you are pinching yourself, why are you pinching me?"

Deng Cao said: "We are all brothers, what is the difference between you and me?"

"Pfft!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone at the scene was directly amused by Deng Cao's magical logic.

Duan Hong laughed and scolded: "Deng Cao, you bastard, see if I don't beat you to death."

"Oh, help me, big brother is hitting someone."

Deng Cao quickly ran away with his head in his arms.

After making a fuss for a while, everyone checked into the hotel. After everything was tidied up, Herman treated everyone to a meal.

After drinking and eating, Herman and Chen Li came to Zhang Xiao's room and said, "Mr. Zhang, how have you considered the matter of "Harry Potter"?"

So far, four volumes of Zhang Xiao's "Harry Potter" have been printed, with a total sales volume of more than 150 million, making it the undisputed number one among the world's best-selling novels.

If it weren't for knowing that Zhang Xiao is a shareholder of Disney, I am afraid that several major entertainment companies in Hollywood would have approached him to buy the film and television rights of Harry Potter.

Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Are you so anxious to make it into a movie?"

When Herman was asked this question, his old face turned red and he said: "Mr. Zhang, the reader base of "Harry Potter" is really good. If it is made into a movie, it will definitely be a big hit."

Zhang Xiao thought for a while and said: "My original intention in writing this novel was to make a few series of movies like "The Twilight Saga". To put it bluntly, it was just to make money."
