Chapter 1013: Overtaken, No. 1 in Total Box Office!

Brilliant Entertainment Company, President's Office.

Tan Yue flipped through the documents in his hand. It was an invitation to a new talent show, and he wanted to invite Brilliant Entertainment Company to participate.

The target of the talent show is newcomers. There is no hard requirement for Brilliant Entertainment Company in this regard. Three outdated singers can be allowed to participate.

Brilliant Entertainment Company is the leader of the entire industry, and it is the only one that enjoys such relaxed conditions.

The participation of outdated singers can bring heat to the program, but if there are too many, it will also affect the topic heat of the program. Think about a talent show where all the outdated artists participate. Wouldn't the group formed in the end be a retirement group?

For the program team, the input and benefits are obviously not proportional.

After flipping through the documents, Tan Yue was considering whether to pass the approval.

This program is like most talent shows. In the end, seven people are selected to form a group. It is also a temporary group and will be disbanded after one year. After all, they are all artists selected from various entertainment companies. Resource allocation and activity income will be very troublesome.

After comprehensive consideration, Tan Yue decided to let Qin Tao select a few artists to participate. Even if they were not successful, it would be an opportunity for them to gain experience. Naturally, their strength can be ranked among the newcomers in the company. After all, they represent the face of the Brilliant Entertainment Company.

After processing the documents in his hand, he called Chen Ye to the office.

Tan Yue arranged: "You go and deliver these documents, and ask Mr. Wu to come over later."

"Okay, Mr. Tan." Chen Ye took the documents and turned to leave the office.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

Tan Yue put down the cup in his hand: "Come in."

The door opened gently, and the person who came in was Mr. Wu.

"Mr. Tan."

Tan Yue pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Sit down."

After Wu Gong sat down, Tan Yue said, "I asked you to come here to learn about the recent publicity abroad."

Wu Gong nodded and said, "This is the first time we have tried to find well-known artists from various countries to help us promote the movie. So far, the one with the highest number of clicks is the one from Australia. Because he mentioned our movie in the gubernatorial election, many countries' mainstream media reported on it. Then there are other countries. Japan, India, and Germany have the second highest number of clicks. They are very popular in their own countries. Finally, there are some other countries."

Brilliant Entertainment Company is only a little famous internationally. It is not possible to find very famous actors in every country. Wu Gong can only find some second-tier and third-tier artists as a second choice, and the publicity effect will be slightly worse.

"The overall effect is good. This is the first time we have tried this publicity model, and the results achieved are quite good." After listening to the publicity of various countries, Tan Yue was very satisfied with it.

It is a good attempt to ask well-known foreign artists to help with publicity. Of course, it is almost impossible to adopt it without sufficient funds or connections.

In just a few days, the publicity expenses of "The Godfather" have already exceeded 100 million yuan. In order to continue to improve the box office performance, it will certainly continue to invest in the future.

After Wu Gong went back, Tan Yue took the cup and came to the window, admiring the scenery outside the window. He had a strong premonition that the box office performance of "The Godfather" would definitely exceed "Back in Time" in the next few days.

India.

In a cinema, two girls watched the movie being shown and discussed.

"Which movie should we watch today?"

The first movie the two girls watched was "The Rhythm of the Wind", and the second time they watched "Back in Time". Today, they came to the cinema and didn't know which movie to watch?

Another girl hesitated and said, "Let's go see The Godfather?"

"Isn't The Godfather a gangster movie? Do you like this kind of movie?"

"I've seen promotional videos of this movie in many places recently, and there are so many stars helping to promote it. It should be good. Let's go and see it. If it's not good, we'll just leave."

The girl who was not very interested in gangster movies nodded slightly: "Okay, let's go."

After buying tickets, the two slowly walked into the cinema and waited for the movie to start.

France.

A family of five sat in the yard and chatted.

The older man with white hair suggested: "Our family hasn't watched a movie together for a long time. If you have nothing to do this afternoon, let's go to the movies together?"

"Okay! What movie do you want to watch?" the middle-aged man asked.

"I heard that there is a very good gangster movie recently, but I can't remember what it is?"

The man sitting next to him playing with his phone answered: "The Godfather?"

"Yes, that's the movie. Let's go watch it as a family."

The old man used to like gangster movies very much. Recently, he heard that this movie is very popular, and he was a little itchy.

The middle-aged man said: "After lunch, let's go to the cinema to watch it."

The old man with white hair was smiling.

The United Kingdom.

Room, bedroom, a person lying on the bed and chatting with a mobile phone.

"When are you free? I will invite you to watch a movie."

"Anytime."

"Me too."

This is a chat group of three people.

"I bought the tickets first."

"Although it's your treat, I want to ask what movie to watch?"

"The Godfather."

"I have to watch it. I have seen many places showing the trailer of this movie these days. I have been tempted for a long time. Since you are treating me, I won't watch it by myself."

The person lying on the bed smiled slightly, turned sideways and continued typing: "If you want to treat me, I will give you this opportunity."

"You're welcome. I'll invite you next time. I heard that this movie is difficult to understand the first time. I'll invite you when you want to watch it a second time."

"No matter who of you treats me, I'll go and watch it. I like to watch any movie."

United States, New York, Silicon Valley.

Two programmers are smoking outside.

"Do you have time on the weekend?"

"We don't have any arrangements at the moment, I just don't know if I will work overtime suddenly."

The programmers expressed their frustration directly. For them, working overtime is commonplace.

"Watch a movie together if you have time?"

"Of course you can. Anyway, if you don't have any work arrangements, you'll just be lying at home."

"I saw that the discussion on "The Godfather" is quite popular on Twitter, so I'm going to check it out."

"I also noticed this movie. Many people are talking about it, not only on Twitter, but also on many forums. It seems to be a Chinese gangster movie, right?"

"Yes, many people say it's worth seeing, so go and see it."

The two hit it off instantly. If they didn't work overtime on the weekend, they would go to the movies and go back to work after smoking.

Two days later.

Bright Entertainment Company, President's Office.

Tan Yue was working when the cell phone he placed aside suddenly buzzed. He glanced at the incoming call and it was reminded that it was a call from his mother.

"What happened?" Mother usually calls at night unless there is something special.

Tan Yue put down his work and answered the phone: "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Xiao Yue, is it convenient for you to talk now?"

Tan Yue came to the window: "It's convenient, you say."

Li Yulan on the other end of the phone said: "You and Tzuyu have been talking for a long time, and Tzuyu has come to our house several times. I have discussed it with your father in the past two days, and I want to find a time to have a meal with Tzuyu's parents. Let’s discuss your marriage.”

"Mom, I haven't met Ziyu's parents yet. Is it a bit sudden to talk about getting married?"

"How can this be considered sudden? Think about it, you have been dating Tzuyu for several years. You are a public figure. Her parents will more or less know something about you, otherwise they would not agree to your relationship. So long. Besides, I don’t know how long it will take for you two to discuss marriage. I’m busy at the company all day long and don’t even have time to rest.”

Tan Yue nodded, feeling that what his mother said made sense. Every time he met with Ziyu's parents, they were always busy with something. Moreover, the two of them were aiming to get married, so it was time for them to take this step.

"I understand, I will talk to Tzuyu about this sometime."

"Hurry up." Li Yulan's tone revealed a bit of anxiety.

Today, she and Tan Zhaohe went to Tan Yue's aunt's house to visit relatives. She suddenly mentioned the marriage. She thought it was a bit rude not to have a meal with Chen Ziyu's parents yet. She was worried that it would affect her son's marriage, so she was so anxious.

Tan Yue touched the succulents in the flowerpot: "Well, hurry up."

"Don't forget, as we speak, your dad and I are at your aunt's house."

"OK."

Tan Yue put down his cell phone and looked out the window, thinking: He has devoted almost all his time to work in these years, and he has indeed been somewhat neglected in terms of relationships. It's certainly a good thing to focus on work, but you should also consider emotional matters. After talking to Tzuyu for such a long time, I should speed up the progress and enter another stage of relationship.

He decided to meet Chen Ziyu's parents after this busy period, and then the two families would have dinner together to discuss marriage.

The traffic outside the window was busy and the hustle and bustle of the past was restored. At this time, there were two gentle knocks on the door.

"Come in."

The person who opened the door was Chen Ye: "Mr. Tan, Director Wu is here."

"Let him in, I'm just looking for him." Tan Yue returned to the computer and sat down.

"Director Wu, please come inside." Chen Ye made a "please" gesture.

"Thank you." Wu Gong nodded slightly and came to Tan Yue with a document in his hand. He wanted to report on the publicity work in the past two days.

"Sit down."

Wu Gong pulled out his chair and sat down: "Mr. Tan, this is a summary of the publicity abroad in the past two days. Take a look."

The promotion of "The Godfather" abroad has never stopped, and it basically revolves around finding some well-known foreign artists to help promote it.

Tan Yue took the document and began to look through it.

"Director Wu, please have tea." Chen Ye brought over a glass of water.

"Thanks."

After Chen Ye left, Wu Gong began to introduce the recent situation: "After our wave of publicity, the results are very good, and the single-day box office results are basically in a relatively stable state."

After a pause, he continued: "The stable box office performance is also based on another aspect, and that is word-of-mouth. Our department has been paying attention to the discussion of "The Godfather" on social media software in various countries around the world. Basically, they are all positive. Especially when we invite some well-known locals After the artist’s promotion, the film’s reputation has risen to another level.”

Tan Yue nodded slightly: "It's within our expectations so far. Let the audience know about our movies first. As long as the quality is good and the content of the movie is exciting, the audience will naturally be retained."

Wu Gong said with a smile: "In the final analysis, it still depends on the quality of the movie itself. If the movie itself is not good-looking, no matter how much we promote it, it will be useless."

Tan Yue briefly browsed through the contents of the document, with a smile on his face as well. "The Godfather" has been well reviewed on major social platforms around the world. In addition, with the stable single-day box office performance of "The Godfather", it has become more and more popular with the public. The box office gap between No. 1 "Back in Time" is getting smaller and smaller, only less than 10 million US dollars.

Wu Gong said firmly: "In a few days, we will definitely surpass "Back in Time"."

"That's right." Tan Yue has always been confident in the box office performance of "The Godfather". He has been looking forward to the day when the box office performance will catch up and reach the first place. "The stable box office performance is indispensable for your efforts. You still can't relax. "Back in Time" will definitely continue to work hard."

Wu Gong said: "Don't worry, Mr. Tan, we will not let up at this juncture."

The two discussed the next publicity plan in detail in the office.

In the blink of an eye, it’s the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the official website of the International Cultural Center updated the latest box office results.

The real-time box office rankings, which have not changed for a long time, finally changed today. "Back in Time", which had always been ranked first, fell to second place, with a cumulative box office score of US$3.98 million. Currently ranked number one is "The Godfather," with a cumulative box office of $3.115 billion.

On the thirteenth day of its release, the box office performance of "The Godfather" finally surpassed that of "Back in Time". Today's Bright Entertainment Company is destined to be very busy.

As the work day approached, employees arrived at the company one after another and started chatting animatedly.

"After waiting for so many days, our movie is finally ranked No. 1 on the list. This feeling is so refreshing."

"It's normal, it's too normal. I heard from my friends abroad that "The Godfather" is very popular there now, and there are still many people watching it in the cinema."

"I heard that many people in the public relations department went abroad a few days ago, just to do publicity."

"Ah? Is there such a thing? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Your information is too limited. Now many foreign stars are recommending our movies. Otherwise, if you look at the single-day box office performance of "Back in Time", which has dropped so fast, we are still so stable. Otherwise, what do you think? After all, it has been released for so long. "

"But I think the movie itself is so good. Let me tell you, I've watched Mr. Tan's new movie three times, and I still feel like I'm still unfinished. It's so enjoyable to watch."

"It must be good-looking. It is now No. 1 on the box office charts."

Many departments in the company are talking excitedly.
