NOVEL WEB Chapter 494
Chapter 494: Premiere Box Office, Shocking the World!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The first day of the movie’s screening quickly ended.
“Dying to Survive” and “Wandering Earth” did not receive much substantial publicity, but many people came to watch the movie.
The appeal of celebrities posting on Weibo was still very strong. The Internet was so developed today, but many people still knew that Lin Fan’s two movies were released at the same time.
After the first day of screening, the movie theaters were also tabulating the box office earnings.
Only after the statistics were calculated could the cinema know what the box office would be on the day of the premiere of the two movies.
These complicated statistics could be completed by the computer.
As the person in charge, Li Zhengyi was still guarding the company in the middle of the night. “Are the box office statistics out yet?”
Li Zhengyi really wanted to see what kind of results Lin Fan’s two movies had achieved in the country.
One of them was a movie starring Lin Fan.
The other was a movie directed by Lin Fan.
It could be said that both movies could not do without Lin Fan.
Without Lin Fan to write scripts, find photographers, actors, directors, dressmakers, makeup artists, special effects artists, and so on, it would be impossible to film “Wandering Earth”.
“CEO Li, it’s still being calculated, but the first-day box office earnings of a few movies are out,” a girl said.
“Let me see. This Kung Fu Panda earned 6 million yuan on its first day at the box office. It’s not bad.”
“This Planetary Project’s first-day box office is 800,000 yuan. It’s too lousy. It’s probably a lousy movie.”
“This Cute Puppy has an ordinary name. Eh? The first day’s box office earnings are actually ten million. Not bad, it’s beyond expectations.”
Li Zhengyi looked down one by one. Sometimes, he frowned and shook his head. Sometimes, his eyes lit up.
He had no choice. Most domestic movies were like this.
What had once created history was Lin Fan’s movie ‘Kung Fu Hustle’.
It was very difficult to expect other entertainment companies to film better movies.
In China, foreign movies were more popular. There was no other way.
The Best Actor Award had nothing to do with domestic actors.
Of course, Li Zhengyi was most concerned about the two movies Lin Fan directed.
Li Zhengyi was also very nervous.
No company could guarantee that a movie would become popular.
When the audience watched movies, they would always watch the quality.
Sometimes, even if the quality was good, the box office might not be high.
Other than quality, he also had to learn how to capture the attention of the audience.
For example, every one of Van Gogh’s works was extremely expensive now.
And in that era, he could not be recognized by others.
Therefore, Li Zhengyi was very worried.
What if these two movies failed?
The box office sales could best reflect the audience’s satisfaction with a movie.
Especially on the first day, the box office sales of a movie premiere would be displayed.
If the box office sales on the first day were high, the future of this movie would be very good.
If the box office sales on the first day were very low… then this movie would most likely be a flop.
The first day was also a critical day.
Li Zhengyi waited for the final statistics with excitement and nervousness.
“CEO Li, the box office statistics for ‘Dying to Survive’ are out!” a girl shouted in surprise.
“How much?” Li Zhengyi immediately ran over and saw the number on the computer.
324,131,573 yuan!
When Li Zhengyi saw so many digits, his eyes widened.
This, this, this…
This house… was too terrifying.
It was just the first day of the premiere, how could there be so many digits?
Even Lin Fan’s movie ‘Kung Fu Hustle’, which had previously set the highest box office record in the country, had never achieved such results.
This was too exaggerated.
“10, 10, 100, 100, 100, 100, 1 million, 10 million… 100 million!” Li Zhengyi counted the numbers one by one and finally confirmed it.
Li Zhengyi could not believe it and counted again.
“Oh my god, the premiere box office earnings… 324.13 million!”
“To put it simply, the box office earnings for the premiere of ‘Dying to Survive’ are more than 320 million! F*ck, this is a box office earnings of 300 million. How is this possible? How is this possible?” Li Zhengyi was shocked.
He had been in the film industry for so many years and had only achieved such results when he was in Hollywood blockbusters. However, that was only when he saw it on the Internet.
As for meeting him in reality and obtaining such results on the first day, this was the first time Li Zhengyi had seen such a thing!
320 million yuan!
This time… it could be said to have broken all records in history!
Li Zhengyi was extremely surprised. How could there be such a magical person like Lin Fan in this world?
The previous ‘Kung Fu Hustle’ was just a preview.
At that time, the box office earnings of ‘Kung Fu Hustle’ were only over 30 million.
This time… it was tenfold!
320 million yuan at the box office was enough to crush everything!
“CEO Li, Lin Fan is too awesome… His movie created such results. Amazing, really amazing!” The girl had already screamed.
Not only that, all the staff in the cinema were stunned when they saw the box office results.
320 million. This number represented the peak of the domestic movie premiere box office!
No one could surpass him!
No movie could surpass such results!
Everyone felt that… Lin Fan was too amazing!
The person in question, Lin Fan, hadn’t even said a word to promote the two movies!
Lin Fan didn’t even post on Weibo, although he had forgotten to.
However, the results they obtained broadened everyone’s horizons.
This was probably a legend!
“Did the data go wrong?” CEO Li asked with a trembling voice.
“CEO Li, the data is absolutely accurate. There’s no mistake. This is already the sixth time we’ve verified it. We’ve even confirmed the box office earnings to single-digit accuracy,” the girl said excitedly.
As a theater practitioner, anyone would be excited to see such results.
In just one day, he had 320 million yuan.
Such a record was unprecedented!
Of course, although there was still a difference from top foreign blockbusters, this also represented a huge improvement!
“Awesome, Lin Fan, you’re really too awesome!”
“I’m convinced. I, Li Zhengyi, am really convinced today. Hahahahaha…”
“Come, announce this news. I want the entire Internet to be shocked by this news!” CEO Li laughed.
He did not even pay attention to the box office earnings of the premiere of the Wandering Earth.
He was completely stunned by the box office sales of the premiere of “Dying to Survive”.
The second movie that Lin Fan personally directed had such results.
Such results were enough to shock the entertainment industry, even the entire country, and the entire world!
