Chapter 933 Premiere

Mr. Wu was lying on the sofa, looking at the chandelier in the room, thinking about the reports of "Forrest Gump" by the media of various countries, and he smiled very happily.

In order to achieve a good box office performance on the premiere day, he worked day and night for more than a month, running around the world to promote, to ensure that there would be no problems in the middle, and he personally promoted in many countries.

During this period, he lost a lot of weight.

Although the process was very hard, the final result was very satisfactory. In the fiercely competitive global film market, "Forrest Gump" earned 183 million US dollars in box office on the first day of its release and ranked sixth on the list.

During the entire promotion process, Mr. Wu conducted surveys on audiences in many countries. He felt that a large part of the reason why "Forrest Gump" could have such a high box office on the first day was because of "The Truman Show".

A movie will not change the impression of foreign audiences on Chinese movies. Now their first reaction is still that they feel that it is meaningless and uninteresting, but after knowing that "Forrest Gump" and "The Truman Show" have the same director and protagonist, they showed great interest and wanted to come to the cinema to see it.

After lying on the sofa for a while, Mr. Wu felt his eyelids getting heavier.

He didn't sleep much yesterday, and he was always paying attention to the latest situation on the Internet. At this time, he was still abroad, just thinking that he could solve the unexpected situation as soon as possible.

After a day of tension, his heart finally relaxed, and the feeling of fatigue instantly filled his body.

Mr. Wu gradually fell asleep. He dreamed that the box office performance of "Forrest Gump" was getting better and better, and its ranking on the real-time list of global movie box office was getting higher and higher.

In a blink of an eye, it was July 10th, 10 o'clock in the morning.

The General Administration of Culture announced the latest box office data for the day on time.

"Forrest Gump" had a domestic single-day box office of 493 million yuan, and the cumulative box office exceeded 1.7 billion yuan. Whether it is a single-day box office or a cumulative box office, it is firmly occupying the first place in the domestic box office list. No movie can shake its position. The cumulative box office of the second-ranked movie has just exceeded 100 million yuan.

As time goes on, the box office gap between "Forrest Gump" and other domestic movies will definitely widen.

On the real-time global movie box office charts, Forrest Gump has risen to third place, with a cumulative total box office of $805 million. On July 9 alone, it earned $236 million overseas.

Not long after the box office data was updated, reports from major media followed.

"Entertainment Events": According to the latest data released by the official website of the General Administration of Culture, Forrest Gump has grossed $805 million worldwide in three days, ranking in the top three on the real-time global movie box office chart."

"Magic City News": Forrest Gump has grossed over $800 million worldwide in three days!"

"Film Entertainment Journalist": Forrest Gump's domestic box office has grossed over 1.7 billion yuan, leading the domestic box office charts with an absolute lead. Forrest Gump's box office performance abroad is still impressive, with a single-day box office of $236 million and a cumulative box office of $805 million in three days (including domestic and foreign box office performance)."

"Beijing Entertainment": Judging from the current situation, Forrest Gump's box office performance abroad is steadily increasing, and its popularity is getting higher and higher.

Netizens are also discussing it fiercely on Weibo.

"It seems that, as I said, Mr. Tan Yue's movie will definitely get better and better at the box office abroad."

"It's really awesome! After three days of release, it has risen to the third place in the real-time global box office chart, which is much more impressive than "The Truman Show"! "

"Seeing the latest data released by the official website of the State Administration of Culture, I have a bold idea at this moment. I hope that "Forrest Gump" can get the first place in the cumulative box office during this period."

"The people above support you, it is not impossible. I won't chat with you anymore, the movie will start soon."

"Oh my God! This is too scary. I haven't paid attention to the box office for two days, and the cumulative box office of "Forrest Gump" has reached 800 million US dollars!"

"I wish the box office of "Forrest Gump" will get higher and higher, and it will be a big hit! "

On the other side.

After seeing the latest box office results, Ye Wen was in a good mood, and the morning haze was swept away.

Now the most gratifying thing every day is to see the box office results of "Forrest Gump".

Ye Wen has also read the reports of "Forrest Gump" by foreign media, and she naturally knows the impact of word of mouth on film and television works.

As the popularity of "Forrest Gump" gradually increases abroad, it will attract more audiences to watch the movie, and the box office results will get better and better.

She even hopes that this movie can be successfully popular abroad more than Tan Yue.

"The Truman Show" has a great impact on China Although Chinese films have not had much impact in the overseas market, it has been the most successful in the past two or three decades. As long as "Forrest Gump" achieves good box office results, it will definitely bring great benefits to Chinese films.

Tan Yue also checked the latest box office situation as soon as possible. He was naturally happy, but also a little surprised.

He did not expect that the box office of "Forrest Gump" would grow so rapidly in just two days, which has far exceeded expectations.

Looking at the box office growth so fast, Tan Yue also knew that the popularity of "Forrest Gump" overseas must be skyrocketing.

Even if a good movie starts at a disadvantage, it will slowly recover later on. The word-of-mouth effect of "Forrest Gump" is working.

Now Tan Yue is becoming more and more confident in his bold idea that day. Then he picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Wu Gong, asking him to take advantage of the increasing popularity of the movie to use this shareholder trend to increase publicity and continue to expand " The influence of Forrest Gump overseas.

The movie forum is even more lively, and you can tell from the words in the message area how excited they are now.

"It's great to see domestic films achieving such good box office results in overseas film markets. "Forrest Gump" is the second domestic film to shine!"

"Am I right? Within three days of its release, the box office has exceeded US$800 million. How much money will this movie make after it has been released for at least a month? I can't even imagine it, it's a bit scary!"

"Support Teacher Tan Yue! Support "Forrest Gump"!"

"It is truly an honor for us in the Chinese film industry to have Mr. Tan Yue. Looking at such box office results, there is really no other director who can achieve this."

"If you want domestic films to go abroad, you still have to watch Teacher Tan Yue. Keep up the good work, Teacher Tan Yue, we will always support you!"

“I’m really proud to see a good movie like Forrest Gump.”

Currently ranked second on the real-time list of global movie box office is a Hollywood blockbuster called "Operation Blast".

It is a sci-fi war movie that mainly tells the story of a future sci-fi war in which a special operations team received instructions from their superiors and secretly carried out a beheading operation.

The leading actor in "Operation Blast" is a well-known American actor who has appeared in many war-themed movies. He has a large number of fans all over the world with his image of a "tough guy".

This movie is his first appearance in a science fiction war-themed movie, and many fans are looking forward to his performance.

After the movie was released, it caused a lot of discussion on the Internet and gained good momentum.

The producer of "Operation Blast" is the American Universal Entertainment Company, which is very good at shooting this type of movies.

United States, Universal Entertainment Corporation, Office of the President.

Sitting in front of the computer is an artist wearing a black suit, with long blond hair combed into a straight nose, a pair of platinum eyes on his straight nose, beards on his cheeks, and a slim figure. The whole person looks unusual. Capable and exuding confidence from the inside out, this man is none other than Wagner Rubin, the president of Universal Entertainment.

Wagner, who just turned 30 this year, is in his third year as president.

There is a saying on the Internet: If I had his status at this age, I would be crazier than him.

Wagner has strong business capabilities and was poached by Universal Entertainment executives at a very high price.

Wagner looked at the document in his hand and saw an error. He tore up the document and threw it into the trash can. He notified his secretary to ask the department head to make a new plan.

In his opinion, files with errors have no value in modifying them and are a waste of his precious time.

"Dong dong dong" came the knock on the door.

"Come in." Wagner straightened his clothes.

A fat man with a fat head and big ears came in when the door opened. This man was the director of "Operation Blast". He was called the fattest director in Hollywood by many and was famous for his science fiction and war-themed movies. Sitting on the chair is like a mountain, and no matter how small the chair is, it seems that it cannot accommodate his figure.

"What's the matter?" Wagner looked down at the document in his hand without raising his head.

The director also looked accustomed to this, and he was really a little afraid of this CEO who was more than ten years younger than him.

I don’t know why, but whenever the director sees Wagner, he can always feel his very oppressive aura, which makes it difficult for him to breathe.

"I'll give you a report on the recent box office situation." The fat on the director's face squeezed his eyes into a line.

"you say."

"Now our company's film ranks second on the real-time global movie box office list, which is the same as we originally predicted."

"Stop." Wagner put down the document in his hand, finally raised his head and said, "I know all these situations, let's talk about the key points."

What he usually hates the most is when everyone already knows something and they have to waste time reporting it again.

Wagner was extremely strict with himself. It can be said that he was so strict that he was a little bit abnormal. He only slept five hours a day, and the rest of the time was either at work or on the way to work.

The director was so nervous that his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he did not even dare to look at Wagner.

"I would like to apply for global publicity. We are not far behind the number one box office. This may be an opportunity for us." The director finished the sentence at an extremely fast speed, worried that he Then touch the brow of the person in front of you.

"It turns out that you only regard the first place as your opponent." Wagner frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "I think we have two competitors now."

director:"?"

Now "Operation Blast" ranks second at the box office, how can there be two competitors?

"One is what you just said, and the second one is "Forrest Gump" which is ranked third."

After hearing these words, the director was startled, doubts arose in his heart, but he did not dare to ask out loud and listened to Wagner continue to speak.

"Perhaps you haven't paid attention to this Chinese film. Its box office has grown too fast in just a few days. It has already posed a threat to us. We have to guard against the possibility that this film may threaten our second-place box office position."

The director shook his head this time and said, "I don't think the situation is as serious as you said. After all, it is a Chinese film. Now it has such a high box office largely due to publicity. In the next few days, the box office performance of this film will definitely drop significantly."

He has been in contact with movies for more than 20 years. In his impression, Chinese films have no competitiveness in the global film market. Therefore, "Operation Explosion" will not be surpassed by this Chinese film at all, and he doesn't take this film to heart at all.

"So confident?"

"I have been a director for so many years, and I still have this confidence." Whenever someone questions his movie, the director will refute it. Even the president who is usually a little afraid will stick to his own opinion at this time.

The two people looked at each other.

"I'll trust you once." This time Wagner retracted his gaze. He believed in the eyes of professionals.

Two days later.

Countries around the world announced the latest box office results on time.

"Forrest Gump" has a total box office of 1.256 billion US dollars, ranking second on the real-time global movie box office list.

"Blast" fell to third place with a score of 1.233 billion US dollars.

Less than half a minute after the box office was announced, the director of "Blast" received a call from Wagner before he could recover.

"What's the matter? I remember you swore to me that the box office of "Blast" would not be exceeded. Can you explain to me what happened now?"

Wagner's calm tone made the director know that this was the calm before the storm, and he trembled and dared not speak. He didn't understand the situation either, and he couldn't understand why a Chinese movie could exceed his own movie.

"You are such a fool, always looking down on this movie and that movie. Now you know your ability."

Five or six minutes later, Wagner's anger gradually dissipated, and the director dared to speak: "It was my negligence before. I should pay attention to every opponent. What should we do now?"

Wagner took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and said: "Expand publicity."
