Chapter five hundred and ninety fifth box office
After the program was broadcast in South Korea, it unexpectedly achieved high ratings, which SBS TV station loved to see. They even planned the next contact with Zhen Fan, but Zhen Fan rejected it.
Kim Hee Sun's performance has been criticized. Some Korean critics even said that Kim Hee Sun's performance in that day's program was very amateurish and was completely the behavior of a brain-dead fan of Zhen Fan.
But none of this is important, because Jin Xishan didn't take it seriously at all. When Zhen Fan and his party left South Korea for China, he went to the airport to see him off in person and gave Zhen Fan a beautiful photo album, which contained Jin Xishan's photos over the years.
some life and work
This is a very personal gift. Zhen Fan was a little dumbfounded. He didn’t know why Jin Xishan would do this to him, because after all, she was also a famous star for a long time, and there was no need to treat Zhen Fan.
This is such an outrageous performance.
At least Zhen Fan doesn't understand why now, and he didn't understand until much later. However, after getting on the plane, Director Bit got the latest box office information in the United States. There were staff who specially compiled statistics on this area and sent him the latest box office information overnight.
When the information came over, Bit immediately clenched his fists and yelled "yes", which immediately attracted the attention of the crew members in the first class cabin.
"$17.8 billion, haha. I said that this movie would make me achieve a breakthrough. I didn't expect it to be true. It all came too early. Oh my God, $17.8 billion. I
Are you dreaming?" Bit laughed in the cabin, but no one interfered with him because the crew had already booked the first class cabin.
"Boss, you deserve this." The speaker was Dia LaBeouf who came with him. He took a glass of wine brought by the flight attendant and raised his glass to Bit, who was in high spirits, "Why don't we do it?"
Where’s a cup?”
"Cheers!" At this time, Robles was a little uneasy, because last year's "Iron Man 3" had a three-day release period and achieved a score of 1.77 billion U.S. dollars, which means that this movie
This record just hit him, but he was indeed happy for Bit.
"Congratulations!" Emma sat next to Zhen Fan and gently held his hand.
Zhen Fan nodded to her and smiled: "Congratulations to you too, because... you are the heroine. And when we signed the contract, was there an agreement to share dividends?"
"Of course!" Emma pursed her lips and smiled. At that time, he felt that Zhen Fan's signing of this agreement was a bit redundant. Newcomers usually get paid directly instead of exchanging rewards for dividends. Now it seems that the original decision was so correct, so Ai
Ma also smiled very happily and shook Zhen Fan's hand vigorously.
"Okay, friends, let's drink to the box office!" Bit raised it first, and then everyone raised their glasses. Although they couldn't sit face to face like usual, it was still a special celebration.
, on the contrary, it is more meaningful. So not only Bit, but also everyone in the cabin is in a very good mood.
The very first stop in China from Seoul, South Korea, is the capital. Someone in the capital has already arranged all this. Feng Daran and a group of celebrities, producers, and various celebrity directors are waiting for Zhen Fan in the capital. Although
He didn't go to greet them in person, but the luxury motorcade he sent was enough to show his sincerity. Moreover, they were also arranged in a luxurious five-star hotel.
After meeting with Chinese movie fans, various stars came on stage and received warm applause. But the most popular person was still Zhen Fan. As he stepped onto the stage of the cinema and interacted with the audience, the theater was full of excitement.
The atmosphere was almost over the top, it was crazy.
"I'm a little jealous of him!" Johnny made a strange face at Zhen Fan.
"I hope he can break the box office record of "Transformers" in China, which is close to 1.9 billion yuan and more than 300 million US dollars. It is higher than the box office in the United States." Bit smiled and applauded in the audience.
, said to Johnny in a low voice.
"So...should I also consider cooperating with this guy?" Robles next to him interjected, and then the three of them looked at each other and smiled. They laughed in unison.
Johnny, Robles, and Emma are undoubtedly the most popular in China. One is very popular in China because of the image of a pirate, and the other is continuously achieving high box office in China because of the Iron Man series. They are both in China.
She is a very familiar Hollywood star. As for Emma, she has a lot of loyal fans entirely because of this year's Spring Festival Gala. Of course, her "Harry Potter" series is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The meeting with the audience was as expected and a great success. When we arrived at the hotel, the dinner party was already prepared. Feng Daran, Cheng Hu and other big names could sit at the same table as Zhen Fan. After Bit, Zhen Fan and others sat down,
Feng Daran suddenly stood up, picked up his wine glass, and said: "When we entered the hotel just now, someone told me the box office statistics for the past three days, and I have to raise my glass now. We did a good job, very good
, we might set a record!”
As soon as this sentence was uttered, Chen Hu immediately translated it simultaneously, so the Hollywood stars who were doing it all stood up, lifted them up, and looked at Feng Daran expectantly. Yes, they were all looking forward to it, because China
It is now the second largest market for movies in the world, and will soon surpass the United States to become the world's largest market. Many people in Hollywood want to grab a big piece of this big cake.
"As of early this morning, the film has been released for three days, and our box office has exceeded this number!" Feng Daran looked very high-spirited, because this time the film was released jointly with his Chinese brothers Zhongyi, so he achieved this
He also had a lot of credit for his achievements, so he seemed very proud.
Everyone looked at the number on Feng Daran's finger. Zhen Fan highlighted a sentence in English: "More than 700 million RMB, close to 130 million U.S. dollars." Even though his mentality was very upright and peaceful, he couldn't help but take a breath. This
The number was completely unexpected, and it somewhat subverted his understanding of his movie!
"Oh, God!" Emma couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaimed, but she was obviously shocked by this number. Although she knew that China's market was huge, she didn't expect to achieve such results. Although it was better than the United States
The domestic figures are a little less, but if you calculate it this way, in the three days of the first weekend, including only the Chinese and American markets, it exceeded 300 million US dollars. This is something Emma could not have imagined at the beginning.
"Zhen, now you are a Hollywood superstar. There is no need to envy others, you are now!" Emma smiled slightly at Zhen Fan and said this. Obviously, her words were well received by everyone present.
The crowd unanimously agreed. Everyone raised their wine glasses and then clinked them together. The wine splashed everywhere.
Soon the box office results were posted on the Internet, causing a lot of exclamations. Most people were sighing that Zhen Fan was so lucky. He just performed a magic trick at this year's Spring Festival Gala and got the prize.
The title of the world's greatest magician. Known worldwide.
Nowadays, a movie can be made casually and earn 400 million U.S. dollars in the first weekend. Because the box office of Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Russia and other countries have all come out, the total is 10.5 billion U.S. dollars. In other words,
The box office revenue in the United States and China has exceeded 500 million.
"You are simply a wizard!" In the hotel room, Robles even commented on Zhen Fan with a jealous tone. Because his best-selling Iron Man 3 only had a box office of 345 million in the first weekend.
Dollar.
"This is luck!" Zhen Fan shrugged.
In fact, this is not all luck, because there are indeed human factors involved. In addition to being released simultaneously in nearly 4,000 theaters across the United States, it also has something to do with the US President's vigorous promotion. Because the White House officially released the movie
Previously, Mr. President mentioned Zhen Fan's movie at another press conference.
"We need to be like in "Island Rescue", while hoping for a miracle to happen. We must also strive for self-improvement and firmly believe in our beliefs, and we will eventually succeed!" This was at a press conference where he was cheering for his medical reform.
rhetoric, but many people are curious why the president mentioned this movie.
So many experts pointed out that Americans now live in a society that is selfish, narrow-minded, arrogant and even full of disappointment. They need correct concepts to guide them to do what they think is right, "Island Rescue"
》This movie just happened to appear, abandoning all the glitz, anxiety and other bad factors.
It is precisely because "Island" appeared at the right time, in the right country, and because of Mr. President's personal statement. In addition, it has a 93% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Therefore, this kind of acclaimed and popular film has naturally won the praise of everyone.
It's a hit. As for how far it will go at the box office in the United States, it's hard to predict, but the results will certainly not be bad.
After returning to the hotel, Bit couldn't hold back his excitement, opened champagne again, celebrated with the crew members, and then calmed down a little.
"These are really amazing days!" Bit sighed to Zhen Fan afterwards, "I didn't expect that we would achieve such good results. If nothing unexpected happens, our global box office will exceed one billion US dollars!"
"You are very optimistic!" Zhen Fan smiled, "Does this mean you should give me more dividends?"
"That's not my business, hey, let those investors have a headache!" Bit chuckled, "I'm more concerned about next year's Oscars. You know, this movie came out at the right time. If
A few years ago, it might not have been like this, but now, it resonates with people!"
"Are you saying that the United States currently lacks correct ideas and concepts?"
"Yes, I think we may influence some people and change their thoughts on how the country treats themselves and their friends!" Bit suddenly looked at Zhen Fan seriously, "I'm glad to meet you, and I'm also glad to be able to work with you.
You made this movie together, so thank you, Zhen!"
"Okay, I got it!" Zhen Fan laughed, "But... you can fantasize about your Oscar statuette from now on, Best Picture or Best Director? Or both?"
"I hope to have both!" Bit chuckled, "Am I too greedy?"
Zhen Fan was about to answer him when suddenly there was a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw a hotel manager standing respectfully at the door. When he saw Zhen Fan, he said hurriedly: "Mr. Zhen, there are a few staff who claim to be CCTV and want to see them."
Chapter completed!
