Yang Mi hummed, nodded and said, "Sister Ya and I have the same idea as you. Now I know what to do."

"By the way, hubby, there is one more thing I want to tell you. "Zhu Xian" will be released tomorrow."

Zhang Xiao asked with a smile: "Has the global box office of this movie exceeded 5.5 billion US dollars?"

Generally, movies will be released in about 30 days. If the movie box office is good and the attendance rate is not bad, it may be delayed to 40 days.

The movie "Zhu Xian" has been released for nearly two months. Since the 40th day, the daily box office has been hovering between 3 million and 5 million US dollars. It is completely tasteless and a pity to discard.

Zhang Xiao has long wanted to release it, but Yang Mi, a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder, is unwilling to do so. The purpose is to break through 5.5 billion U.S. dollars in the global box office.

As the actual controller of the world's four major theater chains, Yang Mi naturally has this right.

Yang Mi said with a smile: "Yesterday it exceeded 5.5 billion US dollars. Today we are aiming for two to three million US dollars, so it sounds better."

"Even if I don't agree with you, I will obey you." Zhang Xiaomei said angrily.

They said righteously: "Now I want to officially report to you the box office results of the movie "Zhu Xian". The total cost of production and promotion is 924 million U.S. dollars, and the current global box office is 5.52 billion U.S. dollars."

"Not including distribution expenses, the profit of "Zhu Xian" is about 1.2 billion US dollars, which is far lower than the income of "Twelve Angry Men"."

"My Mr. Zhang, how do you feel about this result?"

Zhang Xiao shrugged and said: "The profit of "Zhu Xian 1" is not very high, which is normal. After all, he produced it together with Zhu Xian Part 2. I estimate that the production cost of Zhu Xian Part 2 should not be more than 300 million US dollars.

, by then there should be no problem in making two to three billion for a movie.”

"Now I just want to ask one question, how much of the US$1.1 billion can I get?"

Yang Mi burst out laughing and said, "I'm sorry, the money is all in the company account."

"Then what you mean is that I won't get a penny, right?" Zhang Xiao said.

Yang Mi said righteously: "You are a billionaire. How can you care about such a small amount of money? I will help you spend some first. This can be regarded as helping others."

Hearing what Yang Mi said, Zhang Xiao was happy and said: "Okay, okay! Then I have to thank Miss Yang."

"You're welcome!" Yang Mi said with a smile, "By the way, when will you return to China?"

"About three days later." Zhang Xiao replied: "The training here in New York has ended. Tomorrow we will take them to Los Angeles to visit the Oscars ceremony, and then fly directly back to Yuzhou."

Yang Mi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange a car to pick you up then."

···

The next morning, Zhang Xiao and four instructors came to the hotel and had breakfast with 36 students.

While everyone was having breakfast, a student suddenly shouted excitedly: "Look at the news, everyone, "Zhu Xian" has been released, and the global box office has reached 5.523 billion US dollars."

After hearing the news, everyone stopped caring about eating. They each quickly took out their mobile phones and started browsing the Internet.

At this time, the most prominent positions on major domestic entertainment websites, without exception, are all news about "Zhu Xian".

The comment area was invaded by countless fans.

"Oh my god, $5.5 billion in global box office, that's crazy."

"Warm congratulations to Xiao Shen for breaking his own record."

"Yes, the increase from US$3.6 billion to US$5.5 billion is simply terrifying."

"99% of the companies in the world cannot compare with Xiao Shen in terms of profitability."

"Xiao Shen, the world's number one film actor, is truly worthy of his reputation."

"As the leader of Xiao Shen's fan group, I feel extremely proud and proud."

"He is worth hundreds of billions, is low-key, doesn't have any bad habits, and is caring about his family. What woman wouldn't love such a man?"

"The total global box office has reached 5.5 billion US dollars. It is estimated that no one can break this record within ten years. If it does, it can only be Xiao Shen himself."

"That's nonsense upstairs. I feel like the box office of the first part of "Zhu Xian" will be broken next year, because "Zhu Xian 2" will be released next year."

"I totally agree with you. After I finished watching the first part of Zhu Xian, I believe that no movie fan can bear not to go to the cinema to watch the second part of Zhu Xian."

"I am very much looking forward to the release of "Zhu Xian II" as soon as possible."

“···”

Not only movie fans, the Department of Culture, the Film and Television Bureau, the National Television Movie Channel, the Huaguo People's Daily and other official units all expressed their congratulations to Zhang Xiao on Weibo for his achievements, believing that Zhu Xian's global success is the result of the expansion of Chinese culture to the outside world.

A major victory for communication.

You know, even after Zhang Xiao's previous film "Across the Stars" broke the global box office record, it failed to receive such high reviews.

Because to put it bluntly, "Interstellar" is still a science fiction film, while "Zhu Xian" is a fairy-themed movie that only China has.

So the meaning of success between the two is completely different.

So many official media have highly praised the global achievements of Zhang Xiao's "Zhu Xian", not to mention domestic celebrities, each of whom expressed congratulations on their Weibo.

Even the artists of Sakura Film Company are no exception. Some of them congratulated Zhang Xiao on his achievements in "Zhu Xian" on his Weibo.

Just kidding, even the country's cultural department has fallen into disgrace. If I don't keep up, I'm looking for death.

Therefore, even if the success of the movie "Zhu Xian" is based on the success of "Thunder Explosion" created by their parent company, they still have to do this.

The only exception is Chen Gang, because he and Zhang Xiao are sworn enemies, and the relevant departments will not trouble him because of this matter.

In the restaurant, Zhou Xun put down his mobile phone and said with a wry smile: "Oh, I regret it so much now."

It turns out that during the preparations for "The Battle of Red Cliff", it was decided that Zhou Xun would play the role of Sun Shangxiang. Almost at the same time, "Zhu Xian" and part of the script also reached Zhou Xun. Zhang Xiao originally invited him to play the role of Suzaku in "The Ghost King".

After Zhou Xun read the script, he felt that the character of Suzaku had too few roles and was not very outstanding, so he signed a contract with "Battle of Red Cliff" and politely declined Zhang Xiao's invitation.

When "Battle of Red Cliff" became a hit at the overseas box office, Zhou Xun thought that his choice was completely correct, but he never expected that the global box office of "Zhu Xian" would reach a terrifying US$5.5 billion.

This is infinitely better than "Battle of Red Cliff" and enough to leave a lasting name in history. I feel regretful this week.

Jiang Wen looked at Zhang Xiao and said: "Director Zhang, I am not only a director, but also an actor. If you have a good role in the future, can you think of me?"

Zhang Xiao smiled, looked at Zhou Xun and Jiang Wen, and said: "Sister Xun, Teacher Jiang, there is absolutely no need for you two to be like this. To be honest, for the success of "Zhu Xian", we actors only played the icing on the cake.
Chapter completed!
