Chapter 1,429: One Month, Ten Billion
When Christmas on the cruise ship was over, everyone didn't drink much. It was not because they were afraid of being broadcast live, but because they didn't want to drink too much. They wanted to be more sober and wait for the arrival of later time together.
The Lele Live team was told to turn off the live broadcast. After there were no electronic devices on the scene, they gathered a few games, including Texas Hold'em, Blackjack, Mahjong, Landlord, games, billiards...
At this time, everyone wanted to get together and wait for the news together. It had been released for a day. If they said they were not worried, most of them really didn't worry that the box office of the movie would be bad. The rest was a little bit of uneasy expectation, looking forward to whether the box office this time would create a miracle.
Games with a little bit of lottery always have a unique charm. No matter how rich you are, playing a little occasionally has a very unique fun. Don't care about winning or losing, but if you play for nothing, you will basically lose interest soon. Playing a few tens of thousands of dollars, everyone will have a psychological state of wanting to win and not wanting to lose, and then you can really have fun.
Several female stars get together to play mahjong. That scene is estimated to have many fans who want to see what they are like at the card table.
Chen Hao likes Texas Hold'em, which is a competitive game that tests the brain's computing ability and psychological quality. He has the bonus of the system. Playing with this group of people is more of a fun game on the card table.
The psychological warfare of Texas Hold'em is very exciting. If it is between acquaintances, there is even more fun of fighting wits and courage. They played for a while and soon people gathered around to watch. There is a special table on the cruise ship. Everyone is not particularly professional and does not want to sit too crowded. There are only eight people sitting. As they play, many people come over with interest. At first, they don't understand the rules, but they find it interesting. They take a look at the Texas Hold'em rule manual, and then look back at the card table, and they also have some interest.
It is actually very simple to make such arrangements on the cruise ship. Put professional tablecloths on other tables, fix the corners with clips and thumbtacks, and it is not like the competition needs to aim at the camera. Everyone just plays, and soon, three tables are gathered.
There are many Chinese people attracted by Texas Hold'em, but there are many foreigners attracted by Mahjong. The magic of Mahjong is more popular than Texas Hold'em, and the various ways of playing are precisely its charm. Soon, several foreigners were seen sitting at the Mahjong table, happily playing Mahjong.
The fastest way to kill time is to play competitive sports on the card table. Before we know it, it is late at night. Everyone who doesn't like this kind of thing usually has to sigh at the charm of this thing. Such a beautiful cruise ship and such a beautiful night view are not as attractive as a small card table. It is conceivable that those who attach great importance to winning or losing on the card table will be even crazier.
Chen Hao didn't care at all. His purpose was only one thing. Even if I spent a huge amount of money, everyone just played cards. As long as you are happy, the money is worth it. Happiness cannot be measured by value. Today, everyone played Texas Hold'em very happily. From time to time, they applauded and laughed, and from time to time they went ALL IN. The level of chips on the table was limited. After you know how to play, if you really want to go all in, it won't hurt your bones, nor will it make you feel that it doesn't matter and you just push it casually. It's interesting to play when it's stuck at your psychological endurance line.
The table where Chen Hao is is full of "experts". There will be some exciting scenes when playing. As a real professional expert, he easily controls the situation and does not let the win or loss of the scene get out of control. If anyone loses more than 200,000 US dollars, he will lose some to the other party. With his level, the alternative "pool control" on this table is not too difficult. If you really make one or two mistakes, you can always get it back. For him, the fun in this is actually more interesting than winning or losing.
The wins and losses are not big, and there is no impulse to lose. The fun of Texas Hold'em itself is always there on the table. Everyone is more engaged in a battle of wits and courage, rather than simply ruining their luck after losing too much. That would be boring, and it is estimated that this game will not last long.
It was past twelve o'clock, and some people who were immersed in it did not know it. Chen Hao also specifically instructed not to disturb them. When the specific data came out, just come and inform him directly.
They mainly played on the boat. There were many people on land who were looking forward to this result. The red dot side was looking forward to a new record, and those who had no interest wanted to join in the fun and pay attention to the latest things in the world.
Qiu Yu came to Chen Hao with an unbearable joy on his face and told him the first North American data.
More than 10,000 screens, one day of release, North America earned 230 million US dollars. Although today's ticket price is more expensive than usual, and although the distribution of the screens is the most reasonable, such a box office data is enough to make Chen Hao knock his hand on the table and attract everyone's attention.
In the huge entertainment area, many people were secretly watching Qiu Yu. When they saw him coming in from outside and going to Chen Hao's side, they knew that the North American box office data was out.
"I think I have to open a bottle of champagne..."
In everyone's expectant eyes, Chen Hao smiled, and that smile was particularly bright: "The North American first day box office, the statistics show 230 million, the actual box office is no less than that!"
The audience cheered and jumped for joy. The data was really amazing. The 170 million yuan of the first film was considered by many people to be a data that would be difficult to surpass if the value of currency did not change. Who would have thought that in just one year, the sequel would surpass it, and the sequel did not get such a high box office by relying on it. In just 24 hours, the good reputation and truly recognized film critics' ratings have pushed the comprehensive score of "Galaxy 2" to over 8.5 points. This also indirectly confirmed that the box office data on the first day would not be empty. The subsequent box office would continue the madness of the first day and continue to create newer, higher and crazier results.
"What we need is a big red envelope!" Under the encouragement of the Chinese female generals, such voices overwhelmed the voices of raising champagne to celebrate. Chen Hao was not pretentious and made a decision on the spot. Red envelopes were no problem. Do you want to send red envelopes when the North American box office record is broken or when the global box office record is broken?
Christine raised two fingers high, seemingly a victory gesture, which had a more special meaning at this moment.
"Both times!" Everyone was happy and in high spirits at this time. Following Christine's cheering was the best way to vent emotions and create a lively atmosphere. As a filmmaker, being able to be a member of such a series, his career has already had the most brilliant stroke, enough to make too many people envious.
According to such box office calculations, such a data can be obtained through simple calculations. After one day of release, the box office in North America is equal to all the screenings, which are almost full. Otherwise, such a terrifying data cannot be achieved. Even so, people can still see the scene of queuing for tickets in some cinemas, and many people are constantly refreshing the webpage on the Internet.
What if "Galaxy 2" is given more screenings? Will it create a crazier box office result?
No one can give this answer, and we can only get the answer in the face of reality. One day, Chen Hao's works can be sold wildly. Only then will we know what kind of box office miracle he can create.
Everyone took a sip of champagne, and someone came in to tell them a new data. The first-day box office data of China's mainland was counted. Mr. Chen's works did not need to consider the release factor. There were many people waiting all night in China. The shows at 4:00 and 6:00 in the morning were almost full in large and medium-sized cities, and the attendance rate in small counties exceeded 50%. It was even more so after dawn. Every show was full and there was no vacant seat. If there were no regulations, many people would be willing to buy a ticket and sit on the stairs or stand in the corner to watch.
A movie with such a great appeal is unrealistic in the eyes of many people. This is quite a bit like the scene of the traditional crosstalk "Selling Tickets". It is really true that when you hear that Mr. Chen's works are released, everyone rushes to the cinema to buy tickets. After buying, they can't buy tickets for the next two shows, so they can only find some ways to get to the cinema as quickly as possible.
The mainland box office of 760 million Chinese yuan, this data is there, too many people have become numb, not only all the anchors of Lele live broadcast platform have no intention of comparing with him, but also in the entertainment industry, those who make movies, act in movies, sing, no longer regard him as a target, there is no comparison at all, the data is gorgeous and makes you feel that we live in different latitudes.
Music albums can easily sell tens of millions of copies, this data was terrifying and incredible in the era of cassettes.
Once the movie is released, people talk about the total box office. To compare with Mr. Chen, you need to compare the difference between your total box office and his single-day or first-week box office. Only in this way can you compare, otherwise there is really no comparison.
Watching TV series again, people don’t play anymore. A new season of "Lost" has not started filming. He has no time, so he filmed a separate biography of the main character, a few episodes of the content of one character, interspersed with each other, and the audience still buys it in the midst of criticism. The data in all aspects is also very gorgeous, the ratings are very high, and the peripherals are still sold at high prices.
They got the news of the box office data on the cruise ship. Within an hour, the entertainment media all over the world knew about it. All the media arranged special teams to follow up the report. There was no need to know other data in advance. The accumulated box office data in North America and mainland China alone was enough to make many peers look up to them.
What will Chen Hao do in this December, this Christmas season?
One person, three movies, and a box office of 10 billion US dollars?
No one had linked such data together before, but now it seems that this is no longer an insurmountable obstacle. Compared with the audience of "Three Body" and "Wu" at the world level, the audience of "Galaxy 2" is even larger. In Europe, South America, Africa, and Australia, as long as it is not in the second half of the night, almost every show is full. When reporters went to the screening room to shoot, it was difficult to see an empty seat, especially in Asia. What happened in North America and China was very beautifully replicated in these Asian countries. In the middle of the night, people still lined up to enter the theater and the theater was full.
Is it still a distant legend that he can get a box office of 10 billion with three movies?
It seems that it is not far away.
The people on the cruise ship all slept very late that night. Many people were so excited that they couldn't sleep. When the data from various places were collected in the morning, every data report would cause everyone to cheer.
Hong Kong's single-day box office was 80 million.
Taiwan's single-day box office was 600 million.
Island country...
Lion City...
The box office of each country or region is worth celebrating. We can't stay on the cruise ship anymore. Christmas is over and we have reunited with our families. Now it's time to welcome the attention of the public and enjoy the treatment of stars.
Although not many people know you behind the scenes, you are in the limelight in the industry. Those foreign colleagues who used to look at you with no respect now know to call you Teacher X in Chinese. When you take other jobs and join their crews, you are a respected teacher and sometimes you are invited as a guide.
Anyone who is a member of the "Galaxy 2" crew is already a star in the industry. Even if they are just a small script supervisor, when they go to work in other crews, they can submit a resume with a shining professional experience. They have worked as a script supervisor, a lighting technician, and a photography assistant in the "Galaxy Heroes Biography" series of movies...
When they go to other crews, they are automatically promoted half a grade. That sense of honor makes everyone full of work enthusiasm. In the past, if they wanted to take a holiday, they would want to rest for a few days. Now they don’t want to rest at all. Who doesn’t want to succeed? Taking advantage of the current momentum is to improve yourself. There will be no such opportunities in the future.
"We are going to work."
Looking at everyone's appearance, Chen Hao just shook his head and smiled bitterly, and ordered people to arrange the itinerary, let everyone get off the boat, and go to where they want to go. Everyone's mobile phone has received a lot of calls and messages in the past two days. Everyone has their own busy things. Seeing everyone go their separate ways, Chen Hao seems more relaxed and lazy. He drove the luxurious large RV over and stared in the RV, looking at the scenery outside the window, letting Lele's people set up the machine to live broadcast him in a daze. Zhu Dan didn't know how to interview him on the side. Xiaodi was similar to him. They sat opposite each other, looking out the window, and didn't speak for dozens of minutes. Only occasionally when they saw a good scenery, the two of them put their hands on the table and held each other's hands, letting the other person follow their sight.
What is the most boring live broadcast?
There is no intense dynamic performance in the picture, and there is no excited sound to excite people.
Today's live broadcast is such a content, which is equivalent to a static picture. At the beginning, it dropped to more than two million people. After more than ten minutes, the number of people actually slowly recovered...
