Chapter 1162: Positive Development
Second day of the Chinese New Year.
Chen Ziyu, who woke up from her sleep, reached out and touched the phone on the bedside. She looked at the time and it was just past five o'clock.
Perhaps she was a little worried about the box office results and didn't get a good rest all night.
Having worked in an entertainment company for so many years, she certainly knew that what happened yesterday would most likely have an impact on the box office results.
It also became a hot search on major social platforms, causing discussions across the network.
Chen Ziyu put down her phone, pulled the quilt, and buried her head in the quilt.
There was still more than an hour before the box office results were announced, and she wanted to sleep a little longer.
However, things did not go as she wished.
Finally, Chen Ziyu, who was tossing and turning, turned on the bedside lamp and leaned against the bedside to look at her phone.
She first looked at the situation online. Under the trailer of "Titanic" on Douyin Video, there appeared a related search term "Tan Yue immigrated to the United States".
Although the hot search had been suppressed, there were still many netizens who did not know the truth searching for relevant information.
Chen Ziyu looked embarrassed and became more worried.
She knew that domestic audiences were very disgusted with such a thing, which would inevitably affect the film.
Time passed little by little.
At seven o'clock, the International Cultural Center announced the box office on time.
The first place was a movie called "Magic Castle 2", with a box office of 286 million US dollars.
"Gods and Gods: The Good War" ranked second on the list with 259 million US dollars.
The third place "Crazy Player" earned 221 million US dollars at the box office.
"Titanic" ranked fourth, earning 209 million US dollars in the world.
The box office of the fifth-ranked movie dropped to 100 million US dollars, and the lower the ranking of the movie, the worse the box office performance, and the last movie box office was less than 2 million US dollars.
"Titanic" achieved a box office of 209 million US dollars, and Tan Yue was very satisfied.
Compared with the previous three movies, "Titanic" has some disadvantages.
"The Magic Castle 2" and "Gods and Gods: Good War" are two sequels. When the first one was released, it caused quite a stir around the world and laid a solid fan base.
Therefore, when the sequel was first released, the box office performance would definitely be relatively high.
The third-ranked "Crazy Player" invested a terrifying amount of money in publicity.
Tan Yue naturally had a better understanding of the basic situation of the movies released at the same time.
When seeing the promotion of "Crazy Player", Wu Gong made a rough estimate, and Tan Yue was also shocked after seeing the report.
He thought that if the box office performance of this movie did not reach 2 billion US dollars, it might lose money.
'Ding Dong' WeChat received a message.
A screenshot of the box office results, and a sentence: "Ayue, the box office results are out."
Tan Yue tapped the screen of the mobile phone and replied: "Just watched it."
Then Chen Ziyu sent a sighing emoticon package.
Chen Ziyu, holding the phone, sighed and continued to send messages: "It seems that what happened yesterday still affected the box office results."
The first-day box office results of 209 million US dollars are already quite good, but compared with the previous ones, it is much worse.
In Chen Ziyu's view, with Tan Yue's current popularity and popularity, even if he can't reach the height of the first-day box office results of "The Shawshank Redemption", it won't be too different.
But after the box office results came out, the difference was nearly 100 million US dollars.
Chen Ziyu was inevitably a little depressed.
Tan Yue replied: "This first-day box office result is already very good. Don't raise your expectations because of the previous high results. You should still keep a normal mind towards the box office results."
Looking at Tan Yue's comfort, Chen Ziyu thought for a moment and felt that he had indeed raised his expectations too high. The first-day box office of more than 200 million US dollars is also a very outstanding box office result in the world.
Wu Gong also checked the box office results of "Titanic" as soon as possible.
At this moment, he felt a little self-blame in his heart.
Tan Yue's films have performed better and better in the global film market, so naturally he set his goals higher.
Seeing that the box office results and ranking of "Titanic" did not meet his expectations, Wu frowned, thinking that it was affected by yesterday's incident.
If this incident had not happened, the box office results might have been better.
If it had been discovered earlier, it might not have been on the hot search list.
Wu's face was a little solemn, and at this moment he was more determined to return to the company early. If there is an emergency again, he can deal with it in the first time, instead of staying at home and worrying like yesterday.
Then Wu opened WeChat and found a group chat.
The members of the group chat were the people who stayed in the company on duty.
Wu quickly tapped the screen and sent instructions one by one in the group chat.
"Main work today."
"1. Pay close attention to all comments on Titanic at home and abroad, as well as online discussions about Mr. Tan and the main creative staff."
"2. Pay attention to the dynamics of the top three movies on the list to see if they will further expand their publicity."
"3. Thoroughly check if there are any related rumors online, and deal with them as soon as you see them."
Such accidents cannot happen again during the release of Titanic, otherwise it will be a fatal blow to the box office results.
After sending the message, Mr. Wu rubbed his forehead and calculated the time to visit relatives and friends. Some unimportant relationships can be dealt with when he returns from the holiday. He must return to the company as soon as possible.
After the International Cultural Center’s official website announced the box office results, domestic media reported it immediately.
"Hong Kong Daily: Titanic grossed $209 million on its first day. It took only a few days for a rich girl and a poor painter to fall in love and part ways. Tragedy made love immortal, and love also gave disaster films a tragic and romantic color. When the cruise ship was about to sink, many people chose to die with dignity, elegantly but not out of proportion. The mother who had no time to escape comforted her young children, the old couple who had been together for a lifetime chose to hug each other and die, and the captain stayed in the wheelhouse until the last moment... Love and freedom, fame and fortune, disaster and humanity, Titanic captures all kinds of human life."
"Film Consulting: Congratulations to Titanic for achieving a good result of $209 million on its first day. Titanic tells a poignant love story, and the biggest protagonist in the movie, Titanic, is gradually disappearing under the erosion of seawater. What happened to make this "behemoth" sink to the bottom of the sea? Let's go to the cinema together."
Not long after the box office results were announced, it triggered discussions across the entire network and successfully became a hot search on Weibo.
"Titanic is a three-hour movie that witnessed the love between Jack and Rose. It is very moving."
"I cried so hard at the end of the movie in the cinema yesterday, and I almost cried out loud."
"Titanic is more than just about emotions."
"I think Titanic is the best movie ever made by Teacher Tan Yue."
On the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, the Ji River.
Chen Ziyu poured a glass of water and sat on the sofa. She finally smiled for the first time in a few days and said, "The situation has finally improved!"
The first thing she did when she woke up every day was to check the box office results of Titanic.
From the first day of the first day of the box office results to the third and fourth days of the Chinese New Year, the single-day box office results of Titanic basically did not increase for two consecutive days. Yesterday, the ranking on the list almost dropped to fifth place.
However, the latest box office results released by the International Cultural Center this morning showed that the single-day box office results of Titanic finally had a significant improvement, even surpassing the second-ranked Gods and Gods: The Good War.
Tan Yue smiled and picked up a grape and put it in his mouth.
The huge increase in the single-day box office performance of "Titanic" was completely within his expectations.
Tan Yue has been paying attention to the online reputation of "Titanic".
In recent days, Wu Gong has also been reporting various online data.
According to the data, the box office will inevitably usher in a substantial increase.
After just two or three days of fermentation, the word of mouth has spread thoroughly among the audience. The popularity of "Titanic" can be said to have been rising, coupled with some mainstream media reports and netizens' praise.
Everything is moving in the best direction.
Tan Yue did not tell Chen Ziyu about the data.
The data is good, but the box office performance has not improved. After worrying about it, Chen Ziyu became more worried.
Chen Ziyu smiled and said, "I can finally have a good rest at night."
She has not had a good rest in recent days, worried that Tan Yue will be affected.
In fact, the thing that makes her happiest is that netizens have already known that Tan Yue's immigration to the United States is a rumor.
A few days ago, any report related to "Titanic" often saw the words related to Tan Yue's immigration to the United States in the comment area.
For some netizens, it's just for fun, they don't care whether the matter is true or false.
Now when similar remarks appear in the comment area again, there will be many netizens refutating below.
Of course, Brilliant Entertainment Company once again issued a statement on the official blog.
Tan Yue picked up a grape and fed it to Chen Ziyu, saying: "I've told you, don't worry about the box office results, it will get better and better later."
The single-day box office results of "Titanic" have been greatly improved, and he is of course very happy.
The previous "Shawshank Redemption" has become the highest-grossing movie in the history of global films. He only hopes that "Titanic" can be recognized by audiences all over the world, and he does not have too high expectations for the box office results.
Fans often leave messages on Weibo, asking whether "Titanic" can break the highest box office record again.
Tan Yue has always maintained a calm mind about this.
Whether it is domestic or foreign, no director can guarantee that the next movie will have a higher box office result.
Of course, "Titanic" is also a good movie. It can be regarded as a classic on earth, and it was even released again after more than 20 years, which is enough to show the audience's love for this movie.
"Ding Dong".
Chen Ziyu heard the phone in his pocket ring, took it out and looked at it, and found that it was a group photo that Chen Xiang sent to the family group.
"What's the matter?" Tan Yue asked.
Chen Ziyu showed his phone and said, "Today my parents went to my grandma's house. They took a group photo and sent it to the group."
"Are the people sitting in the middle my grandma and grandpa?"
Chen Ziyu said, "Usually they go there on the second or third day of the Chinese New Year. I didn't expect it to be so late this year."
"It should be that someone has something to do and doesn't have time."
Chen Ziyu nodded in agreement and said, "Whose family are these children in front of? I can't recognize them anymore."
Children change very quickly, not to mention that Chen Ziyu has not returned to her hometown for a long time.
Tan Yue noticed that Chen Ziyu had been looking at the photos carefully, and said softly: "Find some time, I will accompany you back to Hangzhou."
Chen Ziyu put away her phone and said with a smile: "Let's wait a little longer. There's no rush to go home. We'll talk about it after "Titanic" is released."
"Is it too late?"
Tan Yue had been thinking about going to Hangzhou after finishing his movie work, but when he saw Chen Ziyu's appearance, he felt very distressed.
So I thought about going back with her early.
"It's not too late." Chen Ziyu shook his head.
"Titanic" is still being released, and he has to keep an eye on the situation at home and abroad. Tan Yue has a lot to be busy with.
The incident that happened in the first grade of junior high school was still vivid in her mind, and a rumor had such a big impact on the movie.
The movie hasn't been released yet, so how can she trust Tan Yue to accompany her back to Hangzhou?
Tan Yue nodded slightly and said, "We are going back to the capital soon. Let's take a stroll here before going back?"
He wanted to make Chen Ziyu happy.
"Okay! Where to play?"
Tan Yue thought: "Well, I haven't taken you around here yet. The weather is good today. I will take you to where I went to high school first, and then take you to a small mountain. I just don't know what to do now." What’s it like?”
"Is there anything interesting on the hill?"
"During school weekends, Fatty and I often go there to play."
Chen Ziyu stretched out his hand and gestured "OK".
I have been staying at home recently and basically haven’t gone out, so it’s time to go out for a walk.
Chen Ziyu joked: "Did you fall in love with your classmates when you were in school?"
No matter what time, women always maintain a gossipy heart, especially towards their boyfriends.
Tan Yue shook his head, his face not red and his heart not beating: "No!"
Chen Ziyu glanced at Tan Yue jokingly, stood up and said, "While they are at my grandma's house, I will call my mother."
"Say hello to the old man for me!"
"I know!" Chen Ziyu closed the door of the room and dialed her mother's video call.
Tan Yue in the living room was eating grapes and looking at his mobile phone.
Wu Gong sent over the latest domestic and international data on "Titanic" on the Internet.
