Chapter 499: His Misfortune Is My Blessing
The box office of "Mad World" in the three days of its release was 860, 730, and 610, totaling 22 million.
The overall screening volume was 22%, and the attendance rate was 85%.
Compared with commercial films, this data is considered to be above average, and it is considered to be the top among art films. Only similar films by Zhang Yimou and Chen Kai can reach this value.
In the eyes of the outside world, this is due to the "promotion" with extremely precise time control.
The post-screening survey has not accumulated to a week, so no analysis has been conducted. Even if it is analyzed, the conclusion drawn must be due to the publicity.
Even so, the industry is not optimistic that "Mad World" can exceed 100 million at the box office. After all, there are three popular movies "Li Mi's Conjecture", "Keep Talking", and "Painted Skin" to be released in late September.
Not only the industry, but also Huajuan Film and Television, including Yang Lingyue, do not think that the box office of "Mad World" can exceed 100 million. Everyone expects the box office to be 50 million.
After the post-screening survey and the preliminary summary meeting of "Mad World" that day, Yang Lingyue was no longer concerned about the promotion and box office of the film, and his own team handled it.
In the next two days, Yang Lingyue stayed in the Liu family villa and did not participate in the discussion meeting of the crew of "Living with the Air Hostess", but managed the affairs on the other side of the ocean, including the financial team led by Chen Ting.
All the funds that were spent have been returned to Kerry Bank, from the initial 65 million US dollars to 460 million US dollars.
Liu Xiaoli also withdrew nearly 20 million US dollars of her personal funds to Kerry Bank, waiting for the man-made disaster that Yang Lingyue mentioned to come.
On the night of September 14.
Liu Yifei was extremely reluctant, so she was clinging to him tightly.
The two hugged each other, Yang Lingyue gently stroked her back, and said comfortably: "When Auntie comes back, let's rent an office outside. It's not a good thing to keep doing this."
Liu Yifei blushed and said in a soft voice: "No, you are going to film, I just want to see you anytime and anywhere."
"The situation is special recently, you understand a little."
"I understand, I'll give you the study."
"You don't care now, but after a long time, working and living in the same place for a long time will make people nervous."
"Is that so? Then I'll listen to you."
Liu Yifei nodded her chin, which made Yang Lingyue's chest itch.
"Hmm~"
"I'll leave tomorrow."
"Hate it."
The two of them were playing and fighting, as if they were in love.
The next day, Yang Lingyue did not leave early, and waited for Liu Yifei to wake up. After all, she was so confused yesterday, and she kept telling him.
After the morning run, she received a call from Liu Xiaoli.
You can hear the suppressed excitement from the other party's voice.
Yang Lingyue smiled and said, "Laugh if you want to laugh, don't hold it back."
Liu Xiaoli said angrily, "You are really boring."
"I told you clearly a long time ago, closed banks, the current Federal Reserve can't help them, Lehman's bankruptcy is inevitable."
Liu Xiaoli smiled and said, "The 100% prediction and the actual feeling are different."
Yang Lingyue pondered for a second and said, "You should go back to China and hide away."
Liu Xiaoli held back her laughter and said, "What bad thoughts are you holding back? Let's wait, didn't you ask me to go to Gulfstream to see the planes, and your electric car."
Yang Lingyue raised his eyebrows and said, "Let Su Ping and the others take care of the car I will go again next month when some rich people start to sell off their products. I will save money and spend money when I can. "
Liu Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, then said dissatisfiedly: "Tsk, are you trying to coax me by letting me take a private plane back to China?"
Yang Lingyue smiled and said: "I'm not coaxing you, I'll arrange it for you. Come back, otherwise you will be annoyed to death by those people surnamed Wu."
Liu Xiaoli said: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go back to take care of Tan Jing's affairs."
"Okay, that's it, have a safe journey."
"Goodbye."
After finishing the call, Yang Lingyue felt better. He had to share this good news with his lover, so he went in and went upstairs with a smile.
Liu Xiaoli, who was sitting in the boss chair in the director's office of Kerry, had never lowered her mouth. It took a while for her heartbeat to slow down.
Liu Yifei was a little dissatisfied with her mother's return to China, humming and groaning, which made Yang Lingyue a little funny.
"I hate you so much."
"I can't live without you."
"Yang Lingyue!!! You're pissing me off."
Finally, Yang Lingyue left. When she left, Liu Yifei was still sleeping. She was so angry that she would not stop until she woke up naturally.
She did not go directly to Tianjin, but returned to the courtyard and had lunch with Zeng Li and Yu Li.
They also knew that Lehman Brothers went bankrupt and the market value of global stock markets evaporated by half.
Yu Li said with lingering fear: "In the future, our Donglai investment will focus on industry. It's terrible."
Zeng Li shook her head: "Industrial investment is not something we can do now. It's at the level of hundreds of billions or hundreds of billions."
Yang Lingyue said with emotion: "Teacher Yu's view is still accurate. A financial capital country without industrial support is ultimately a castle in the air. Although it can't do big things, it can support new industries, new energy, agriculture, etc., and cast a wide net in the laboratories of major universities. It doesn't matter if it fails, as long as there is one success."
Yu Li nodded: "Yeah, I'll communicate your ideas with Lin Jianye later."
Different from the Liu family villa, Yang Lingyue talked more about career topics in the courtyard, but he didn't have any working status, just chatting.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Fan Bingbing came from her studio. After having lunch, she set off to the hotel where the crew of "The Wind" was located in Jinmen.
The filming date is September 18th, which is a corresponding commemoration. After all, it is also an anti-Japanese themed movie.
The reason why we arrived on the 15th was naturally because Yang Lingyue’s crew read the script without hesitation.
The actors arrived at the hotel one after another, including Wu Gang, the "Sixth Master" who had a small role, Liu Weiwei, the female agent who was tortured, and Wang Deshun, the intelligence courier.
Wang Zhongjun also came over, and when he saw Yang Lingyue, he said congratulations.
Because "One Thought of Nothingness" was released for 6 days, the box office has already reached 39 million.
"According to this data, Director Yang has another work with a box office of over 100 million. This is a literary film. Because of "One Thought of Wuming", the popularity of our "Li Mi's Conjecture" has increased a lot."
Yang Lingyue laughed loudly and said: "My lord, I admire your ability to tell lies with open eyes. After all, you can't see the steady downward trend in the box office."
