Chapter 973 I Just Want to Worship Him!

After 2:30 a.m. on July 21st, China time, the Internet gradually became lively, and after 3:00 a.m., it became more and more lively.

At this time, for many parts of the world, especially the Americas, it is actually still living on July 20, even just at noon.

However, as time went on, more and more places around the world began to enter July 21st.

When Europe finally fell into the night, when Japan began to usher in the first ray of sunshine on July 21, when Chinese sanitation workers began to appear on the streets before dawn to start their day's work.

This world, or that world.

This July 21st is no different from every day in the past.

Finally, the Americas went through the whole day of July 20th and ushered in their early morning of July 21st.

In more than 2,300 movie theaters in North America that are open until late at night, "The Matrix" finally ushered in its last round of early midnight shows around the world.

At this time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon in Japan on July 21, and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon in China—the whole of Asia, where "The Matrix" was released, was in the light.

At this moment, in terms of time, "The Matrix" really ushered in the global simultaneous screening-in all the countries where it was first released!

At this moment, countless people are waiting for the ticket check-in with great anticipation, countless people are watching the movie with their faces flushed with excitement, and countless people are walking out of the screening hall with extreme excitement, discussing with their companions excitedly while walking wearing something.

Of course, on Saturday, there are still many people who are staying at home, sharing their movie-watching experience last night or this morning with their friends on the Internet, or on a certain chat software, or Post your own movie reviews on the forum.

And of course, there are still many people who are facing the fact that they are extremely painful - because they came a little late, today's all-day "Matrix" movie tickets are gone.

What's even more tragic is that someone visited four or five movie theaters in the city where they lived, only to find out sadly that all the movie tickets for "The Matrix" in all the movie theaters in the whole city have been sold out!

In late-night movie theaters in the United States, some auditoriums are barely full, but the occupancy rate of most auditoriums is less than half, or even less than 30%. The early attendance rate of "The Matrix" is less than 20%!

However, almost everyone who walked into the cinema and was sitting in their seats watching the movie had a look of excitement on their faces.

Almost everyone's eyes widened, staring intently at the big screen in front of them.

In Japan, South Korea, China, and outside movie theaters in many big cities in Southeast Asia, at this time, many people have no choice but to feel helpless amid the accusations and complaints of their friends or girlfriends because they have not bought movie tickets. out of the cinema.

Even in many other places, restaurants, bars, shopping malls, etc., you can hear people complaining helplessly, saying that tickets for "The Matrix" are really hard to buy!

Then, night began to fall in the east.

It was dawning in Europe.

China began to enter the night time.

North America finally ushered in their first ray of sunshine on July 21.

At this time, in fact, on the networks of China, Japan, South Korea, and other eastern countries, there are various discussions and posts about "The Matrix", which are already overwhelming.

In the Western world, with the end of the early midnight show in Europe, and the subsequent end of the early midnight show in the United States and Canada, in the western Internet world, the discussion about "The Matrix" suddenly became louder—— It can’t be said to be overwhelming for the time being, but almost every comment is full of praise and amazement, and every conversation is full of sincere recommendations. There is no doubt that it is extremely eye-catching.

…………

China, Shuntian Prefecture.

One o'clock in the morning on July 22.

In Minghu Culture, the lights are still on in the general manager's office.

Qi Jie was holding two printed documents in her hand, and she was concentrating on them—in fact, it was just a few simple pages, and she had been reading them for a long time.

There is no doubt that during this period of time, there is only one thing that can make her so attentive and obsessed - the box office report of the movie! Box office report for The Matrix.

The box office of Japan, South Korea and the Philippines on the first day has already come out.

Including the advance show, throughout July 21, "The Matrix" received a total of nearly 830,000 moviegoers in Japan, with a cumulative box office of 965 million yen, equivalent to 11.49 million U.S. dollars.

In South Korea, this figure is 4.16 million US dollars.

In the Philippines, this figure is $1.32 million.

There is no doubt that it was the first box office in the local market that day.

And this is also the best single-day box office performance of a Chinese film in these three countries!

What's more, even if this single-day box office result is placed in the history of movie box office in these three countries' markets, it can smoothly rank among the top ten!

Moreover, on the Internet in Japan, South Korea and other places, its audience's word-of-mouth evaluation is almost overwhelmingly good!

Although this could be regarded as something that had been expected long ago, Qi Jie was still indescribably happy when she actually got this report card.

Be proud of him, be proud of him, even worship him from the bottom of your heart!

Worship to the five body prostration!

He's just that good, he's just that amazing!

Everyone can't do it. What so many outstanding filmmakers and directors in China have been unable to do for so many years, he can do it!

He even walked forward step by step, let you see for yourself how he did it!

So you crawled at his feet willingly, looking up at him, obeying his orders, and falling in love with him, so you willingly do whatever he says, and do whatever he says!

There has never been the slightest doubt and distrust!

Temporary disagreement, what should I do?

listen to him!

From the perspective of logic, law, and various aspects, his actions are really not advisable. What should we do?

listen to him!

Then, you realize, yes, that's what you should be listening to!

Because, he succeeded again! And you have succeeded again!

Japan’s single-day box office exceeds 10 million U.S. dollars. Even in Japan, which has a large box office, it is definitely a heavyweight. In other words, there are only a very few movies with big productions, big directors, super stars, and Only a good reputation can get the best results.

In the past, except for a few films in Japan, most of these achievements belonged to the super blockbusters of Hollywood - "Titanic", "Jurassic Park", "Lord of the Rings" series, " Harry Potter series, etc.

And now, the first day of "The Matrix" was released, with a single-day box office of 11.49 million US dollars!

Qi Jie held the box office report in her hand, and read it again and again.

Every time I look at it, I can't help shaking my head, sighing and smiling.

Suddenly, the computer prompt sounded.

She immediately put down the report in her hand, shook the mouse to exit the screen saver program, and entered the mailbox.

Sure enough, it is a summary of box office statistics.

Click on it, and at first sight, the number 10336 came into view. She let out a long breath, and an inexplicable brilliance appeared on her face.

Over 100 million!

Although judging from last night's midnight advance show and this morning and afternoon's film arrangement and attendance, the idea of ​​"breaking 100 million" has always been stuck in my throat, but after all, as long as I analyze it a little more conservatively, in the Before the result came out, I still didn't dare to have too much expectations about whether it could break through 100 million.

90 million single-day box office is definitely no problem. But if it exceeds 100 million, there is still considerable suspense.

It wasn't until now, when the box office was counted, that she was finally convinced: it really exceeded 100 million!

Take a closer look, throughout the day on July 21, plus the advance show after midnight last night, "The Matrix" was screened on more than 5,000 big screens across the country, and a total of nearly 40,000 shows were screened, with a screening rate as high as 53%. The total number of movie viewers in the day is as high as 4.73 million, and the show is almost full!

Thus, a new record was created!

In the history of Chinese movies, and in the history of Chinese movie box office, the first movie with a box office of over 100 million in a single day!

103.36 million!

At this moment, seeing this number clearly, Qi Jie didn't even have the heart to continue to watch the box office of other movies, as well as the specific movie schedule data and box office situation of major theaters.

Those things can be saved until after waking up.

At this moment, she felt that she was so excited that she couldn't control herself, and she was even a little dizzy and drunk.

So she stood up and walked back and forth in her office for a few steps, with a blush on her face that would only appear after being drunk—suddenly she felt that she seemed to have a glass of wine.

But there is no alcohol in my office.

So she just thought for a while, stood up, found the key, went out, walked to the door next door, took the key to open the door, went in, and took out a bottle from Li Qian's wine cabinet without knowing what it was. The brand of whiskey came and poured himself a large glass.

Take a sip.

so spicy.

Top panic.

This way, from the mouth, to the throat, and then to the stomach, it became hot all of a sudden.

So enjoyable!

Another bite.

Swallow it down with a thud.

so spicy.

So enjoyable.

She raised her hand to touch her face, and felt that it suddenly became warm, so she began to giggle unknowingly—it was over a hundred million! It really broke through 100 million!

He took out his mobile phone and subconsciously began to dial, but suddenly thought, forget it, let's not call.

It's not that he's afraid of waking him up, and it's not that he will have a headache because of being woken up, the main reason is...he won't be as excited as himself!

Qi Jie knew him too well.

Even if it’s an exciting moment when the box office exceeds 100 million in a single day, if you call, he’ll probably say in a calm tone, “Oh, it’s over 100 million, right? Okay, that’s good. of!"

It is at this time that he is extremely boring!

Obviously it is the time when others worship him to the point of falling to the ground, and it is the time when people can't wait to hug him and not let go. Hearing his words is like pouring a basin of cold water on his head—he will use his calm tone , if face to face, he will use his calm expression and demeanor to tell you, oh, it’s okay, it’s good!

As if this matter is so ordinary, ordinary, normal, not worth mentioning at all, and not worthy of joy and celebration at all!

So, no more.

Put away the phone, glanced left and right, nestled on the sofa very comfortably, held a glass of whiskey in his hand, took another sip, finally couldn't help coughing, but the smile on his face grew more and more.

She thought to herself: It would be more comfortable to nest like this for a while.

Just be intoxicated for a while longer in his achievements and aura.

Think about it again, when "The Gate of Life and Death" was released, Qin Wei was so arrogant, but in fact, the highest single-day box office of "The Gate of Life and Death" was only about 40 million!

Look at our Jiaqian, from the beginning to the end, regardless of the big and small things, it has always been so calm and breezy!

hum!

But after being excited for a few minutes, I gradually calmed down, and thinking about it again, yes, there is really nothing to be too excited about.

After so many years of layout, so many years of steady and steady progress, we have indeed reached the time to reap the harvest.

Just like the huge hit of "The Gate of Life and Death" back then, with the accumulation of the past years, as soon as everyone heard that it was Qin Wei's blockbuster, they all rushed to the cinema like crazy.

Therefore, "Once Upon a Time", which was released at the same time, with its high reputation, Li Qian's strong popularity bonus, and the unique groundbreaking of kung fu movies, it still cannot do "The Gate of Life and Death" which is obviously not as good as "Once Upon a Time".

And now, from "My Sassy Girl", "Once Upon a Time", "Red Sorghum" and "Gourd Baby", of course, it also includes the big hits of "Big Wrist" and "Huang Feihong: A Man Should Be Self-Reliant", including "Red Sorghum" was a grand slam at the Berlin Film Festival. Li Qian's reputation and appeal as a film director have reached a height that almost no one can match.

"The product produced by the leader must be a high-quality product!" This concept has definitely been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

As long as it is said that it is Li Qian's new movie, and it is said to be an awesome sci-fi blockbuster, even if there is no theater preview meeting, almost all domestic theaters will definitely confirm it at the first time: we will give the largest screening ratio ! Even in summer!

As long as it is said that it is Li Qian's sci-fi blockbuster, millions, even tens of millions of movie fans across the country will rush to buy tickets immediately! Even if you stay up late to watch the early show, it will be completely sold out like never before!

In addition, in recent years, starting from the "Legend of the New White Snake", Minghu Culture's ability and strength in film and television special effects have become stronger and stronger than all other special effects studios and special effects companies in China. It is more than one-up, and it is enough to compare with the most outstanding and outstanding special effects companies in Hollywood!

Then, the shooting team, photography, lighting, scenery, martial arts, art, and so on.

Of course, the main reason is that all of these are integrated in Li Qian's hands, and he is submissive, pointing to where to hit! Therefore, such a team with no shortcomings, under the leadership of Li Qian, the big devil, shot such a perfect work with almost no flaws.

It can't be more normal for it to achieve the current results.

However, after rationalizing, why am I still so happy and excited that I can't control it?

At this moment, I just want to worship him!

what to do?

***

Some friends always complain that the update is too slow, this is really helpless. I also want to explode, but I really can't.

I used to chase books and read what other authors said that writing books led to poor health, all diseases, I don't believe it. It's my turn. It's been two and a half years since I wrote this book, and to tell you the truth, I'm really sick.

It's the last period of time, and my biggest task is to finish writing it properly. The explosion is really impossible, so please bear with me!
