Chapter 595 Box Office

After the Korean program was broadcast, it unexpectedly achieved high ratings, which is what SBS TV liked to see. They even planned the next contact with Zhen Fan, but Zhen Fan refused. However, Kim Hee-sun's performance was criticized by others. Some Korean critics even said that Kim Hee-sun's performance in that day's program was very amateurish, which was completely the behavior of a brain-dead fan of Zhen Fan.

But all of this is not important, because Jin Xishan didn't care at all, even when Zhen Fan and his party left Korea for China, they went to the airport to see them off in person, and presented Zhen Fan with a beautiful photo album, which contained Jin Xishan's past years Some photos of life and work and modeling in the film. This is a very personal gift. Zhen Fan was a little dumbfounded, he didn't know why Jin Xishan treated him like this, because she was also a famous star after all, there was no need to behave so outrageously towards Zhen Fan.

At least Zhen Fan didn't understand why now, and he didn't understand until a long time later. However, after boarding the plane, Director Bit got the latest box office information in the United States. A staff member specialized in statistics for this piece, and sent him the latest information overnight. When Bit saw it, he immediately clenched his fists and shouted He said "yes", and immediately attracted the attention of the crew members in the first class cabin.

"178 million dollars, haha, I said, this movie will make my breakthrough, I didn't expect it to be true, it all came too early, God, 178 million dollars, I Isn't it dreaming?" Beet laughed in the cabin, but no one came to interfere with him, because the crew had booked the first class.

"Boss, you deserve it." The one who spoke was Dia LaBeouf, who came along with him. He took a glass of wine brought by the stewardess, and raised his glass to Bit, who was in high spirits. "Why don't we do it? How about a cup?"

"Cheers!" At this time, Roberts was a little uneasy, because last year's "Iron Man 3" had a three-day release time. It made $177 million, which means the movie just beat his record, but he was really happy for Bit.

"Congratulations!" Emma sat beside Zhen Fan and gently held his hand.

Zhen Fan nodded to her, and said with a smile, "Congratulations too, because...you are the heroine. And when we signed the contract, did we have an agreement on dividends?"

"Of course!" Emma pursed her lips and smiled. At that time, he felt that it was a bit redundant for Zhen Fan to sign this agreement. Newcomers usually get paid directly instead of exchanging rewards for dividends. Now it seems. The original decision was so correct, so Emma also smiled very happily, and shook Zhen Fan's hand vigorously.

"Okay, guys, here's to the box office!" Beetle raised his glasses first, and then everyone raised their glasses, although they couldn't sit face to face as usual. But it can be regarded as a special celebration, but it is more meaningful. So it's not just bits in the cabin,

Everyone is in a very good mood.

The very first stop in China from Seoul, South Korea is Beijing. And someone in the capital had already arranged all of this. Feng Daran brought a group of celebrities, producers, and various celebrity directors to wait for Zhen Fan's arrival in the capital. Showed his sincerity. And they were also arranged in a luxurious five-star hotel.

Meeting with Chinese movie fans, and then various stars came on stage, all received warm applause. But the most sought-after person is still Zhen Fan. When he stepped onto the stage of the movie theater to interact with the audience, the atmosphere in the theater was about to explode, it was crazy.

"I'm a little jealous of him!" Johnny made a strange face at Zhen Fan.

"I hope he can break the box office record of "Transformers" in China, which is close to 1.9 billion yuan, more than 300 million U.S. dollars. It is higher than the box office in the United States." Bit smiled and applauded in the audience , whispered to Johnny.

"So...do I have to consider working with this guy?" Robles next to him interjected, and then the three of them looked at each other and smiled. They all laughed at the same time.

And Johnny, Roberts and Emma are undoubtedly the most popular in China. One is very popular in China because of the image of pirates, and the other is because of the series of Iron Man, which has continuously achieved high box office in China. People are very familiar with Hollywood stars. As for Emma, ​​it is entirely because of this year's Spring Festival Gala that she has many loyal fans. Of course, her "Harry Potter" series is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The meeting with the audience was as expected, and it was very successful. By the time they arrived at the hotel, the dinner party was already ready, and Feng Daran, Cheng Hu and other big names could share the same table with Zhen Fan and the others. After Bit, Zhen Fan and others were seated, Feng Daran suddenly stood up, held up his wine glass, and said, "When we entered the hotel just now, someone told me the box office statistics for the past three days, and now I have to raise my hand." Cup, we did a good job, very good, we may set a record!"

As soon as this sentence was said, Chen Hu immediately translated it at the same time, so the Hollywood stars who were doing it all stood up, lifted it up and were caught, and looked at Feng Daran expectantly. Yes, they are all looking forward to it, because China is now the second largest market for world films, and will soon overtake the United States to become the world's largest market. Many people in Hollywood want to dig a big piece of this big cake.

"As of early morning today, the film has been released for three days, and our box office has exceeded this figure!" Feng Daran looked high-spirited, because this time the film release was jointly released by him and China's Zhongyi Brothers, so he won this award. He also has a lot of credit for his achievements. So he looked very proud.

Everyone looked at the number on Feng Daran's crooked finger, and Zhen Fan highlighted a sentence in English: "More than 700 million RMB, close to 113 million US dollars." Even though his mentality was very neutral, he couldn't help but take a breath. This number was completely unexpected, which subverted his understanding of his own movie!

"Oh, God!" Emma couldn't help covering her mouth and exclaimed, but obviously she was also shocked by this number. Although I knew that the Chinese market was huge, I didn't expect to achieve such a result. Although it is a little less than the number in the United States, if calculated in this way, in the three days of the first weekend, only counting the markets in China and the United States, it exceeded 300 million US dollars. This is something that Emma never thought of at the beginning.

"Zhen, now you are a Hollywood superstar, you don't need to envy others, you are now!" Emma smiled slightly at Zhen Fan, and said this sentence. Obviously, her words were unanimously agreed by those present. Everyone raised their wine glasses, and then they collided with each other with a "ding". Hop splashes.

Soon the box office spread to the Internet, causing a lot of exclamation, most people sighed, Zhen Fan is really lucky, just performed a magic trick on this year's Spring Festival Gala, and got The title of the world's greatest magician. World-renowned.

Now it’s actually a random movie, and it earned 400 million U.S. dollars in the first weekend, because the box office of Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Russia and other countries have all come out, and the total is 110.5 billion U.S. dollars, that is to say. The box office in the United States and China has exceeded 500 million.

"You are simply a wizard!" In the hotel room, Robles even commented on Zhen Fan with a jealous tone. Because of his top-grossing Iron Man 3, it grossed just $345 million in its opening weekend.

"This is luck!" Zhen Fan shrugged.

In fact, this is not all luck, because there are indeed human factors in it. In addition to being screened in nearly 4,000 theaters across the United States at the same time, it is also related to the hard-working publicity of the President of the United States. Because the White House mentioned Zhen Fan's movie at another press conference before the movie was officially released.

"We need to look forward to miracles like in "Crystal Rescue". We must also strive for self-improvement and firmly believe in our beliefs, and we will eventually succeed!" This is a press conference where he waved the flag for his medical reform The rhetoric, but many people are curious why the president mentioned this movie.

So many experts pointed out that because Americans now live in a society full of selfishness, narrowness, arrogance and even disappointment. They need correct ideas to guide them to do what they think is right. The movie "Crystal Rescue" happened to appear, and it abandoned all bad factors such as flashy and anxiety.

It is precisely because "Crysis" appeared at the right time, in the right country, and Mr. President's personal statement. Coupled with the evaluation of 93% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes, this kind of popular and well-received movie has naturally won the praise of everyone. As for how far the box office in the United States will go, it is hard to predict, but the result will definitely not be bad.

After returning to the hotel, Bit couldn't hold back his excitement, opened champagne again, and celebrated with the crew members, and then calmed down a bit.

"It's been an amazing few days!" Bit sighed to Zhen Fan afterwards, "I didn't expect that we would achieve such a good result. If nothing unexpected happens, our global box office will exceed one billion dollars!"

"You are very optimistic!" Zhen Fan smiled, "Does this mean that you should give me more dividends?"

"That's not my business, hey, let those investors have a headache!" Bit smiled, "I'm more concerned about next year's Oscars, you know, this movie appears at the right time, if it is placed A few years ago, it might not have been like this, but now, it will resonate with people!"

"Are you saying that the United States lacks correct ideas and concepts?"

"Yes, I think we may influence some people and change their thinking about how the country treats themselves and their friends!" Bit suddenly looked at Zhen Fan seriously, "I'm very glad to meet you, and I'm also very happy to be with you. You made this movie together, so thank you, Zhen!"

"Okay, I got it!" Zhen Fan laughed, "But...you can imagine your Oscar statuette from now on, Best Picture or Best Director? Or both?"

"I hope to have both!" Bit smiled, "Am I being too greedy?"

Zhen Fan was about to answer him when there was a knock on the door. When he opened it, a hotel manager was standing respectfully at the door. Seeing Zhen Fan, he hurriedly said, "Mr. you!"
