Chapter 67 Breaking the Hundred Days
"Speak quickly, don't be too pretentious, how much is it?!" Wu Xiang had been waiting for this call early the next day, and naturally it was Yu Dong's call.
"Hahaha..." There was only laughter on the phone. Wu Xiang thought, is this Yu Dong stupid?
Finally, the results finally came out. "First Close Encounter" took in a box office of 1.78 million on the first day it was released!
"It's a big mistake!" No wonder Yu Dong smiled, Wu Xiang was shocked. He really didn't expect to achieve such results.
In the past, when Wu Xiang didn't know much about the film market, he would have thought that a figure like 1.78 million was unsatisfactory at most. But now, he fully understands the meaning of this figure in his heart.
Not to mention, director Feng's "Endless" was released not long ago. It took three days for this film to break through the 1 million box office. Last year's "See You or Be Parted" was recognized as a good film, and it only took two days to break the box office.
One million, and now Wu Xiang will envy many people this time.
"Hey what's wrong?"
"You are talking!"
"What the hell are you doing? You're not a horse."...
Today is Sunday and there are no classes, so almost everyone in the crew is here. They gathered in the cafeteria and are also waiting for news about the first day's box office.
"It's over." But just after Wu Xiang hung up the phone, the guy's expression seemed to suddenly freeze.
"Ah?..." Everyone was dumbfounded. When they saw Wu Xiang's expression, state, and tone, he was going to finish his job.
"It's impossible!" Huang Yanbo didn't believe it. Yes, he saw it clearly yesterday. There were so many people. Could it be that it was an illusion?
"Did those guys conceal the report?" Brother Kun felt that there might be something fishy here.
"It's possible!" "Yes! That's what happened!"... The crowd was excited for a moment.
At this time, Wu Xiang spoke, "Everyone, we are done. On the first day of release, we got a box office of 1.78 million. What should we do? How can we celebrate? Hahahaha..."
As Wu Xiang talked, he felt happy. He really couldn't hold it in any longer.
"..." Contempt, glare, squint, plus the inability to look directly!
"This fucking kid is playing tricks on us again! What do you think we should do?!" Huang Yanbo started, what else could he say?
"beat him!"
"We can't let her run away!"...Wu Xiang wanted to get away as soon as he saw that the situation was not good, but how could he escape from the vast sea of People's War?
"Ouch! I was just joking..." Wu Xiang was suppressed by everyone again. Although he is a good-looking man with strong muscles, there are so many people there, and he can't do anything.
"This guy is so bad, hahaha..."
"Don't laugh, don't even laugh, deal with him first, hahaha..." No, I really can't hold it in anymore, I have to do it, no matter what I say, I have to get angry and ask this kid to pick up people again.
There was nothing we could do about it. Wu Xiang threw the grenade into the toilet, which aroused people's anger. Even Hai Qing didn't help him. He laughed and kicked Wu Xiang...
Although it is very confusing, I am really happy, but the even happier things are yet to come.
The box office of "First Encounter" exceeded 1 million on the first day of its release, but it was not over yet. Four days later, the box office of "First Encounter" had exceeded 10 million!
This is already a miracle, a miracle in a very sluggish situation in the film market. We must remember that in this era, the situation of domestic films has reached an extreme point, let alone the encirclement and suppression of foreign blockbusters.
, even the country is facing rampant piracy, as well as the unscrupulous impact of various Hong Kong films and even some Mao (harmony) films in video halls. 10 million, domestic films that can exceed this number in 1999 can be counted on one hand.
Come here.
This is just the mainland box office. You must know that the operation of "First Close Encounter" this time is all-round. Yu Dong has tried his best, and good news has been reported frequently in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
Let’s talk about Macau first. The box office in this place can actually be ignored, because in the early 1990s, the film market in Macau began to shrink rapidly. In the end, there were only three theaters left, and they were all on the same schedule as Hong Kong, so
, Hong Kong and Macao are not separated in the film industry.
Let’s talk about Hong Kong. This is a good place. This is Eastern Hollywood. A huge number of films are produced every year. However, don’t forget the time now. Hong Kong at the turn of the century is slowly recovering due to the heavy blow of the 1997 Asian financial crisis.
Yes, but the film industry has been greatly affected, and it will still take a long time to recover, especially for theater chains.
Hong Kong is the financial center of Asia. Basically everything in this city is related to finance. If you haven’t watched TVB, as long as it is a business-related film, there will be stock speculation and real estate. Therefore, the crisis that year was not a joke.
All walks of life have been affected, including many movie theaters.
But even so, the box office in Hong Kong and Macau is quite gratifying. After three days of release, it has exceeded 3.8 million. This result is already quite impressive.
Finally, I want to talk about Baodao. I must say it emphatically because this market is the most difficult to negotiate. Yu Dong really had a lot of dealings with Baodao for this movie. This is not because Yu Dong charges a high price, nor is it
Because the movie is not good, not because of any scheduling issues.
The reason is that Baodao not only wants this film to be released, but also does not want the film of Wu Xiang, a director who has made "The Great Flood", to be released in Baodao. This reason sounds weird, right?
But when Wu Xiang found out, he just laughed it off, because as a time traveler, he had heard of even more bizarre cases on the treasure island, let alone one like this.
In fact, tea eggs are nothing. What’s even more bizarre is that we want to raise wages but don’t want big companies to come in, we want electricity prices not to rise but don’t want nuclear power, we want to fight for the economy but don’t want Fu Mao, we want to... let the funds flow out.
, is called hollowing out the treasure island, letting the funds flow in, and is called buying the treasure island...
Anyway, just use your imagination. Therefore, Wu Xiang told Yu Dong early on that the Baodao market was dispensable. If you can talk about it, just talk about it. If you can't talk about it, then get it.
Not to mention, when Yu Dong ignored them, they came over on their own initiative and the conditions were quite favorable. In fact, the reason is simple. This novel is very popular. It is extremely popular in Baodao.
, can this movie make less money?
However, the Baodao market at this time is still good, and the box office of 2 million in three days is quite good.
After that, it was still a good time, because it will soon be New Year's Day, the turn of the century, and there is another reason to watch movies.
20 million, 30 million, 40 million, one by one, the box office records were broken by "First Close Encounters". If there are people on the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places who don't know about Wu Xiang and his movies, they are simply too special.
Not only Wu Xiang's movies, but his novels also experienced a sales spurt, reaching the top of the best-seller list almost instantly, attracting the attention of countless physical publishing masters.
Of course, at this time, online literature had actually gained some momentum, such as the very famous "The Legend of Wukong", but it had not been published yet, it was just popular on the Internet.
However, Wu Xiang's novel "First Intimate Contact" has been hailed as the pioneer of online novels and has caused competition among many literary websites.
Not only Wu Xiang has received so many benefits, Chen Kun, Zhang Jingchu, including Huang Yanbo who plays the bitch, and even Brother Xiao Ming have become popular.
Chen Kun and Huang Yanbo are both old faces, but Zhang Jingchu’s popularity is entirely due to the Internet.
Qingwu Feiyang, this is Qingwu Feiyang. Almost all netizens agree that Zhang Jingchu is the best candidate for Qingwu Feiyang. Countless people who have read movies and novels are lamenting, where did Wu Xiang find this guy?
Such a girl, so pure and lovely. She has even become a topic and has become the dream goddess of countless men.
It's hot, it's really hot, and it's really hot!
