Chapter 1102: Box Office Exceeds 100 Million

After the movie, everyone looked at Chu Lingyun.

Chu Lingyun clapped his hands together. This movie was well made. It was slightly different from the Star Wars series in history, but the core essence was retained, especially the special effects.

Chu Lingyun was willing to invest. The special effects may be a little different from the later ones in terms of visual effects, but they are more exciting.

Everyone who has seen the sample will understand that this is definitely a movie that can be a big hit.

A completely new and shocking movie, it is simply unreasonable not to be popular.

It's a pity that the United States has not landed on the moon yet, otherwise the influence would be greater.

However, Chu Lingyun specially arranged for them to shoot a short section of the moon scene, which is very similar to the future moon landing. After the real moon landing, it is estimated that the doubts about the studio shooting will be higher, who makes the similarity so high.

This is a little bit of Chu Lingyun's bad taste.

"You did a good job. We can have a happy Christmas this year."

Chu Lingyun said with a smile. Everyone was even happier after getting the affirmation of the big boss. They have absolute confidence in this movie. After all, it is the hard work of so many people, including the director and the cast.

There were not many people in the viewing room. Not everyone could see the complete movie in advance. There was no certain level, so they could only wait until it was released in the future.

Chu Lingyun was very strict in protecting the movie.

It was not that he was worried that someone would steal it and release it in advance. If he did, he would be in jail. Chu Lingyun was wary of competitors to prevent them from making trouble.

Chu Lingyun knew very well how dirty the world of capital was.

"Team leader, you are so amazing. I can't imagine that you can make such a movie."

Loach flattered him first. This flattery was sincere. Before he saw it, he really couldn't imagine that a movie could be made like this.

"There will be more and better movies in the future."

Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded, while Loach nodded excitedly. They invested in this movie, and they could make a lot of money with the team leader.

He was already calculating in his mind how much the final box office of this movie would be.

Roman Holiday, which cost two million, had a box office of tens of millions. This movie must have hundreds of millions, right?

Hundreds of millions is certain, after all, the team leader still has some money for publicity. When the funds were insufficient before, he would rather make additional investments than use this publicity fee.

If the publicity is done well, the box office of the movie will be higher.

What's more, there are so many TV sets now. Just playing some wonderful clips on TV will definitely attract a large number of people to the cinema to watch movies.

"The publicity work can be started. All major cinemas should put up posters in advance, subways, business districts, TV stations, newspapers, and let the actors appear on more programs. Make sure to build momentum for the movie."

Chu Lingyun ordered, and the people in the film company nodded hurriedly.

The publicity effect of the movie last time was very good, and the boss customized a new publicity plan for them. This time it will definitely be better.

This time their publicity cost is two million, the total cost of a small and medium-cost movie.

With so much money, more people will look forward to the movie and go to the cinema to watch their movie.

As for the box office, everyone believes that it will exceed the previous one.

Their film company will create a new record.

The movie tickets for big-budget movies are different from those for ordinary movies. The movie tickets are higher. The previous Roman Holiday movie tickets were only three cents, while the movie tickets for this movie are sixty cents each. Even if the number of viewers is the same as the last time, their box office will double and exceed 100 million.

If the box office of a movie exceeds 10 million is a benchmark, then breaking 100 million will be the top existence.

The top of the pyramid can also leave a place in the film and television records.

The entire company and Loach and others are very confident about this.

This movie is too classic, there is no reason why it will not be successful.

Loach is no longer the bumpkin when he first came to the United States. He feels strange when he sees everything. He is already a multi-millionaire in the United States and is moving towards a billionaire. It won’t be long before his assets will exceed 100 million.

His vision is vicious now. No wonder the team leader takes them with him. This is purely giving them money.

It’s so happy to have such a team leader.

It’s worth working for such a team leader, unlike others, especially people like Qi Limin, who don’t take the lives of their subordinates seriously.

The movie is well made, with a strong commercial film atmosphere, and a lot of new technologies are added.

Chu Lingyun didn't miss any props that can be registered for patents. If anyone wants to make a similar movie and use the same props in the future, I'm sorry, but you have to pay first.

This series is for the future preparation. It is a very good money-making tool. Naturally, you should use everything you can to the extreme.

This is the United States, the world of capital.

It is not only right to do so, but it is normal. If you don't do so, you will be laughed at.

The movie has not been released yet. Chu Lingyun only gave them a hard work fee, which is not much, a total of only 100,000 US dollars. After the release, let the box office test the results, and then reward them according to their merits.

This movie is a custom film. The film company came up with ideas and collected scripts.

Then the director was selected. All the problems encountered in the filming of the movie were solved by the people of the film company. This movie was given a fixed salary and no share.

This is Chu Lingyun's requirement.

He didn't use a super first-line director. He didn't need the director's fame bonus. He just needed to get the results he wanted.

This movie is destined to make more money, including subsequent income.

Video recorders and VCRs had been invented a few years ago, but Chu Lingyun did not get involved. There is no need to be involved in all industries. Invest when you have the opportunity, and forget it if you don't. There are many opportunities to make money, and there will be more in the future.

The invention of the video recorder provided another way for movies to make money.

In the future, if these movies are sold on video tapes, they can make a lot of money, including peripheral music, cartoon dolls, etc. Don't underestimate these little things, many of them can make hundreds of millions of profits.

Not revenue, but profit.

Now Chu Lingyun's TV station and pharmaceutical factory only make a few hundred million dollars in profit every year.

The movie was completed, and subsequent publicity was handed over to Chu Lingyun.

Identify a movie that can make money and let him contribute.

He has a lot of clever ideas, enough publicity platforms for him to use, and sufficient funds. It just depends on how well he can promote it.

Chu Lingyun himself returned to San Francisco to stay with his parents.

After my parents retired, they have been taking care of their children at home.

Chu Ya and Chu Yuan's child is about to enter elementary school, and he speaks Chinese well.

Everyone in the family, including Chu Yuan’s parents, attaches great importance to their children’s education. Teaching their children to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters was unanimously approved by the whole family, and no one objected.

And when you are at home, try to speak Chinese to him as much as possible. You must learn English, and all your contacts with the outside world are in English.

Even though the child is young, he is now fully able to communicate in Chinese and knows some words.

The children are of pure Chinese descent, and Chinese is their mother tongue, so they must be able to speak it. They cannot be like some Chinese children here. Over time, they cannot speak Chinese at all. When you speak Chinese to them, it is like listening to a book from heaven.

"Uncle, do you think my plane looks good?"

The little guy is at home today. His parents and sister now live in Chu Lingyun's manor. It is big enough and has better conditions. For the sake of their daughter and grandson, Chu Yuanchen and his wife also moved here after retirement.

The couple who had worked hard all their lives were finally able to enjoy happiness and live in a big house in their old age.

However, they are still not used to being served by servants and have to do many things by themselves.

Especially the things that children need for personal use are prepared by them themselves.

"Not bad, very beautiful. Who gave it to you?"

Chu Lingyun was basking in the sun in the garden. When she saw the toy airplane in her nephew's hand, she couldn't help but laugh and ask.

"This is a gift from Sister Long Mei. When will Sister Long Mei come?"

The little guy replied casually, but Chu Lingyun was stunned for a moment. He hadn't gone to see Long Mei yet when he came back this time. He didn't know when she would come over and give the child this gift.

"Do you want to see her?" Chu Lingyun asked with a smile.

"Yes I do."

"She'll be here soon."

Chu Lingyun smiled and replied that he would definitely attend the premiere of the new movie. Long Mei was the one who had to be invited. Now many people knew about their relationship and were waiting for when they would get engaged and married.

Long Mei is not old, and her father doesn't want to let his daughter leave home so early, but it probably won't be delayed for too long. It has been so many years since the Fruit Party failed, and Long Mei is now in her twenties.

It is expected that they will get engaged within two years.

Especially her parents, who now fully accept Long Mei, often ask them when they will get married.

It is not easy for Chu Lingyun to delay for so many years.

Time passed slowly, and Christmas Eve came quickly.

Christmas is equivalent to the Chinese New Year, and Christmas Eve is the New Year's Eve. This is a holiday for Americans, and it is also the most lively festival, with many people in various cities.

In a movie theater in Hollywood, Long Mei, who was dressed in fine clothes, took the arm of Chu Lingyun, who was also wearing a suit, and came to the movie theater together.

There were a lot of people at their premiere today.

Including Katemen, who has long since resigned, and Mike, who has a very good personal relationship with Chu Lingyun and is now retired at home.

After receiving the invitation, they all came to attend the premiere.

The movie Star Wars officially premieres today.

Some members of the creative team were also there. They were a little nervous from the beginning of the movie. When they noticed that many big shots around them were shocked by the movie in front of them, they gradually relaxed.

This movie will definitely be successful, which is the common confidence of everyone.

The movie ended quickly, and everyone including Long Mei was shocked.

The main reason is that the props inside are made too real and look too similar.

"Chu, is this true? Didn't you really go to an alien planet to make this movie?"

Long Mei asked in a low voice, and Chu Lingyun smiled slightly: "How is it possible? After the ceremony, I will take you to see these props and tell you how to shoot."

Of course the movie is fake and cannot be true.

Even in later generations, there is no way to use real alien planets to make such science fiction films.

"Okay, I'm going to go see it later."

Long Mei nodded excitedly. She was really curious and had never thought that a movie could be shot like this.

People attending the premiere applauded warmly. These big shots knew very well that this was a movie and everything was fake. They would not doubt that it was true like Long Mei did.

But they were also shocked that such an effect could be achieved.

Not to mention now, when this movie came out in the late 1970s, it still shocked a lot of people.

People from other places who watched the movie were all shocked.

Many film critics began to write their own reviews, and almost all of them praised it. This movie was so well shot, so real, and definitely worth the price of admission. No one will regret it after watching it.

This is an epoch-making movie, and it is also a great movie.

Unlike last time, there were many critics last time, but this time there were almost none. Chu Lingyun did not buy them off with money. The main reason was that the movie was really well made. The few critics who were paid were quickly silenced by others.

Those who have really seen the movie understand the shock of this movie.

There were already many viewers. Niqiu’s previous publicity was very successful. He deliberately selected wonderful special effects, but there was no follow-up, which made people feel itchy. If they wanted to see the follow-up, they could only go to the cinema.

The next day, the first day box office was released.

6.3 million.

This big-budget movie opened in many theaters, but it was a terrifying number to reach more than 6 million. Each movie ticket was only 60 cents, which meant that tens of millions of people watched the movie on the first day.

Although there was a holiday bonus, this was also a good result.

The large box office on the first day was due to Niqiu, and Chu Lingyun gave him a credit.

The box office on Christmas Day was soon released, 9.21 million.

The box office increased by 50% compared to the day before, and the number of moviegoers rose to 15 million. There are only a few people in the United States now. In just two days, many people have already seen this movie.

And there must be people who have watched it twice or even three times.

The box office of 15.5 million in two days has exceeded the production cost, but it has not yet reached profitability.

But everyone believes that this movie will definitely make money.

It's just two days.

The day after Christmas, the box office fell back, but still reached more than 7 million.

The box office of three days is close to 23 million, and Chu Lingyun is about to recover the cost.

The film reviews are constantly praised, and many well-known directors have also stood up and highly praised this film, praising Chu Lingyun's film company and director.

This movie is really well made.

On the fourth day, the box office rose again, exceeding 8 million, and the total box office exceeded 30 million.

This is just the United States.

Canada is following closely. Movies that are good at the box office in the United States are almost the same in their country. No one doesn't want such a profitable movie.

After Christmas, Chu Lingyun didn't care much about the box office. On the day of the premiere, he took Long Mei to visit the movie props and shooting methods, and then he took Long Mei back to San Francisco.

Good days naturally need to be with family.

Loach is very concerned.

50 million, 80 million, 100 million.

In just half a month, the movie broke through the 100 million mark. Although there was a significant decline in the future, it will definitely bring in tens of millions of box office.

The film company took the opportunity to release various peripheral products such as dolls, which were snapped up after they were launched. All the previous production was sold out, forcing them to work overtime and continue production to meet consumer demand.

Thank you to the leader Pipi Rabbit for the reward of 2,000 starting coins again. In addition, I would like to inform you that the book will be completed soon, and it is expected to be no more than this month.
