Chapter 904: Final box office breaks record(1/2)
Chapter 904 Final box office, breaking record
Zhang Xiao said: "It was sixty-five yuan. The relevant departments of the Department of Culture rejected it without hesitation, and the ticket price we applied for was forty-five yuan. The Department of Culture followed suit and made "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens"
The ticket price is also reduced to forty-five yuan."
Yang Mi said: "How dare they ask for a ticket price of 65 yuan? So far, even during the Spring Festival, no movie has exceeded 60 yuan."
Zhang Xiao said: "But a ticket price in Europe and the United States is about ten dollars, which is equivalent to seventy soft girl coins."
Yang Mi said: "What do you mean? Do you think it is too high overseas or too low in our country?"
Zhang Xiao said: "I'm just saying that in a few years, the Chinese film industry will become the next Hollywood and the center of global film. By then, even the Ministry of Culture will have to make changes."
"Of course, it is too early for us to talk about these things now. It may not happen until five or ten years."
Yang Mi said: "If that day really comes, husband, what will you do?"
Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Of course I support it. The money we make now will be more than we can spend in ten lifetimes. We should make some contributions to the Chinese and even the world's film industry."
"When we get older, if the children are unwilling to accept Qingtian Entertainment, I will donate all the theaters under the company to the country. What do you think?"
Yang Mi shrugged and said, "You paid for the theater anyway, it has nothing to do with me."
Zhang Xiao said: "You are the boss of our family, how can we say it has nothing to do with you?"
Yang Mi said: "Forget it, you are the boss, I am just working for you."

Time flies, half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
"Avengers 3" was released, with a final box office of 7.688 billion US dollars, 600 million US dollars higher than "Zhu Xian 2", becoming the global box office champion.
If all kinds of copyright income are included, the total box office of "Avengers 3" is estimated to be more than 8 billion US dollars.
Zhang Xiao accounted for 70% of the revenue. After excluding all expenses, the profit brought to Zhang Xiao by "Avengers 3" reached about 2.5 billion US dollars.
A movie can earn two billion US dollars, which is simply more than the annual profits of more than 95% of the world's companies.
After the news spread, it immediately shocked the entire country of China.
"Damn, Xiao Shen is so awesome."
“I’m really getting richer and richer!”
"Twenty-five billion U.S. dollars, I can't make it even if I work for ten thousand years!"
"For a man with a trillion-dollar fortune, this $2.5 billion is really nothing."
"Xiao Shen said: To me, the profit of 2.5 billion US dollars is just a number."
""Avengers 3" is a movie from the Lighthouse Kingdom. Xiao Shen used it to kill the two parts of "Zhu Xian". Isn't this a little inappropriate?"
"You are so funny upstairs. Who said that "Avengers 3" belongs to the Lighthouse Forest? It now belongs to China and Xiao Shen."
"I remember ten years ago, Xiao Shen was just a military substitute, and I was a white-collar worker at that time, and I was doing much better than him. Now ten years have passed, Xiao Shen is already a super rich man, and I am still a white-collar worker.
"
“I don’t know if “Avengers 4” can break the record of “Avengers 3”.”
"Similar to the two parts of "Zhu Xian", I estimate that fans who have watched "Avengers 3" will definitely be tempted to watch "Avengers 4".
"You're right, "Avengers 3" is so exciting. It would be a real pity if you can't watch it on the big screen."
"Will Xiao Shen, like "Zhu Xian 2", re-screen "Avengers 3" half a month in advance?"
"If it is really re-screened, I will definitely watch it."
“···”
The success of "Avengers 3" has caused Disney's stock price to skyrocket.
Although Soli Film Company's "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens" also made money, it was flopped by "Avengers 3", which made industry insiders greatly disappointed with Soli, and its stock price fell instead of rising.
And Zhang Xiao, who once again successfully topped the global box office championship, is simply extremely popular.
The program team of Huaguo TV Station's "Literary Life" invited Zhang Xiao to be a guest, and Zhang Xiao agreed.
The host of "Literary Life" is named Lei Yu, a new host on Huaguo TV. Zhang Xiao had never heard of this name in his previous life.
After the two met politely, Lei Yu handed Zhang Xiao the list of questions he wanted to ask and said, "Mr. Zhang, take a look at these questions, are there any inappropriate ones?"
It seems that Huaguo TV Station is rich and powerful, that is, Zhang Xiao. If it were anyone else, even the National Master, they would not disclose the list of questions in advance.
After Zhang Xiao glanced at it for a while, he smiled and said: "It's very suitable. In fact, there is no news about me."
Lei Yu said: "The main reason is that there are too few scandals."
Zhang Xiao sighed and said: "There is no way, there is a tiger at home."
Lei Yu laughed loudly and said, "You really know how to joke."
At 8:50, more than a hundred viewers entered the studio one after another.
At nine o'clock sharp, "Literary Life" officially started.
Lei Yu said: "Thank you very much to the audience and friends in front of the TV for watching our "Literary Life". I am the host Lei Yu."
"Today's guest is an amazing figure. He is recognized nationwide and even globally as the number one film maker. In the global box office rankings, he has seven films on the list, and the top four are all his films."
"The recent "Avengers 3" filmed by him has swept the global film industry, ascending to the world's number one throne with overwhelming momentum, and successfully defeated himself."
"Hahaha!" Upon hearing this, the audience laughed.
Lei Yu said: "Everyone must already know who he is. Come on, let's call out his name together, okay?"
All the audience shouted in unison: "Xiao Shen!"
Lei Yu nodded and said: "That's right, let us applaud Mr. Xiao God, Mr. Zhang Xiao, to make a shining appearance."
Amid the warm applause and cheers from the audience, Zhang Xiao, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, walked out. He first bowed to the audience and then shook hands with Lei Yu.
Hearing that the applause had not stopped, Zhang Xiao put his hands down and said, "Everyone, that's about it. No matter how long you take the photo, I won't give you a penny more."
"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed.
Leiyu reacted very quickly and immediately said: "You mean that today's audience is all paid for by you!"
Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "You got the answer right."
Leiyu deliberately exclaimed: "No way!"
Zhang Xiao said: "If you don't believe me, just ask."
Lei Yu looked at the audience and asked, "Are you all paid by him?"
"Yes!" everyone replied in unison.
Lei Yu smiled and said: "There are more than a hundred people, how much does it cost?"
Zhang Xiaodao: "Anyway, the box office is less than the box office of "Avengers 3"."
"Hahahaha!" The studio burst into laughter.
Thunderstorms can't help but smile.
Netizens who watched the live broadcast on the Internet launched barrages one after another.
“A great opening.”
"With Xiao Shen here, no matter what program it is, it will never be left in the dark."
"Xiao Shen is really humorous."
"I just like down-to-earth celebrities like Xiao Shen."
“···”
After everyone sat down, Lei Yu poured Zhang Xiao a cup of tea and said, "Mr. Zhang, first of all, congratulations on your "Avengers 3" for achieving a box office of US$7.6 billion."
Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Your congratulations are a bit overdue. On the day "Avengers 3" was released, I received more than a hundred congratulatory calls, and countless netizens also posted messages. It made me feel a little embarrassed."
Lei Yu said: "But there are also many netizens who think that "Avengers 3" defeated "Zhu Xian 2" at the box office as a setback for domestic films. After all, "Avengers 3" is a work of Disney Film Company. What do you think of this?
?”
Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "Well, I have also seen this information. Some netizens also answered it for me, saying that I am the boss of Disney Film Company, so "Avengers 3" should be a domestic film."
"But what I want to say is that after nearly thirty years of development, Chinese films have completely achieved overtaking. If nothing else happens, the total box office of Chinese films this year will greatly exceed the European and American markets."
"To form the world's number one super film market, we should have the mind and courage to accommodate films from different cultures, take the best and discard the dross, so that our domestic films can gain more momentum for development."
"Only in this way can China's domestic films truly achieve phoenix nirvana and be worthy of the status of the world's largest film market. The success or failure of a certain film has no meaning to Chinese films."
"If the top ten in the global box office rankings are all Hollywood movies, and the eleventh to the 100th are all Chinese movies, then do you think Chinese movies have won or lost?"
Lei Yu nodded and said: "You mean that we should look at the entire Chinese domestic film industry from an overall perspective? Instead of focusing on a particular film, right?"
"That's right!" Zhang Xiao said.
After hearing Zhang Xiao's answer, barrages flew across the Internet.
"Have you seen it? This is a big spirit and a big heart."
