After the Korean program was broadcast, it unexpectedly achieved high ratings. This is what SBS TV station likes to see. They even planned the next contact with Zhen Fan, but Zhen Fan rejected it. However, Kim Hee-sun’s performance was criticized. Some Korean critics even said that Kim Hee-sun’s performance on that day’s show was very amateur, and it was exactly the behavior of a fan of Zhen Fan’s brain-disabled fans.
But none of this is important, because Kim Hee-sun didn't care at all. Even when Zhen Fan and his party left South Korea for China, they went to the airport to see them off in person. They also presented Zhen Fan with a beautiful photo album. The album was Kim Hee-sun's all these years. Some photos of life, work and modeling in the movie. This is a very personal gift. Zhen Fan was a little bit dumbfounded. He didn't know why Jin Xishan would be like this to him, because after all, she is also a long-famous star, there is no need to be so out of character with Zhen Fan.
At least Zhen Fan doesn't understand why now, but it takes a long time to understand. However, after getting on the plane, the director Bit got the latest box office information in the United States. A staff member specially made statistics on this piece. He sent him the latest information overnight. Bit immediately clenched his fists and shouted. With a "yes", the attention of the crew members in the first class cabin was immediately attracted.
"US$178 million, haha, I said, this movie will make me achieve a breakthrough. I didn’t expect it to be true. It all came too early, my God, US$178 million, I Not dreaming, right?" Bit laughed in the cabin, but no one came to interfere with him, because the crew had already packaged the first class cabin.
"Boss, this is what you deserve." It was Dia LaBeouf who came with him. He brought a glass of wine from the stewardess and raised the glass to the cheerful Bit, "Why don't we do it? How about a cup?"
"Yes, a toast!" Robles was a little uneasy at this time, because last year's "Iron Man 3" was released in three days. Achieved a score of 177 million US dollars, which means that this film just crushed his record, but he is really happy for Bit.
"Congratulations!" Emma sat next to Zhen Fan and gently held his hand.
Zhen Fan nodded to her and smiled: "Congratulations too, because...you are the heroine. And when we signed the contract, was there an agreement for dividends?"
"Of course!" Emma pursed her lips and grinned. At the time, he felt that Zhen Fan signed this agreement a bit redundant. Newcomers would generally get paid directly, rather than exchange rewards for dividends, now it seems. The original decision was so correct, so Emma smiled very happily, and shook Zhen Fan's hand vigorously.
"Okay, friends, make a toast to the box office!" Bit first raised the quilt, and then everyone raised the cup, 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 the capital. Someone in the capital had already arranged all this. Feng Daran took a bunch of stars, producers, and various celebrity directors to wait for Zhen Fan’s drive in the capital. Although he did not personally greet him, the luxury team sent was enough. Showed his sincerity. And they were also arranged in a luxurious five-star hotel.
I met with Chinese fans, and then various stars came to the stage and received enthusiastic applause. But the most sought-after person is still Zhen Fan. As he stepped on the stage of the cinema to interact with the audience, the atmosphere in the cinema was almost bursting, very crazy.
"I'm a little jealous of him!" Johnny made a weird face at Zhen Fan.
"I hope he can break the box office record of "Transformers" in China, close to 1.9 billion yuan, more than 300 million US dollars. It is higher than the box office in the United States." Bit Hehe smiled and applauded from the audience. , Whispered to Johnny.
"So... Am I going to think about working with this guy too?" Robes interjected, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled. Invariably laughed happily.
Johnny, Robles 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 Iron Man series, which has continuously won high box office in China. A very familiar Hollywood star, as for Emma, it is entirely because of this year's Spring Festival Gala that she also has a lot of loyal fans. Of course, her "Harry Potter" series is also deeply rooted.
The meeting with the audience was as expected, and it was very successful. When it arrived at the hotel, the dinner party was ready. Big names such as Feng Daran and Cheng Hu could have a table with Zhen Fan. After waiting for Bit, Zhen Fan and others to sit down, Feng Daran stood up suddenly, took up the wine glass, and said: "When we entered the hotel, someone told me the box office statistics for these three days, and now I have to It's a cup, we did a good job, very good, we may set a record!"
As soon as this sentence was spoken, Chen Hu immediately translated it simultaneously, so the Hollywood stars who were doing all stood up, lifted them up, and looked at Feng Daran expectantly. Yes, they are all looking forward to it, because China is now the world’s second largest market for movies and will soon surpass the United States to become the world’s largest market. Many people in Hollywood want to dig a big piece in front of this big cake.
"As of this morning, the film has been released for three days, and our box office has exceeded this number!" Feng Daran looked energetic, because this time the film was released jointly with the Chinese art brothers, so he got this He also has a lot of credit for his achievements. So he seemed very proud.
Everyone looked at the number on Feng Daran's fingers, and Zhen Fan highlighted an English sentence: "More than 700 million RMB, close to 130 million U.S. dollars." Even though his mentality was very peaceful, he couldn't help taking a breath. This number was completely unexpected, which somewhat subverted his understanding of this movie!
"Oh, God!" Emma couldn't help covering her mouth and exclaimed, but obviously she was also taken aback by the number. Although I knew that China's market was huge, I didn't expect such a result. Although it is a little bit less than the figure in the United States, if you count it this way, the three-day period of the first weekend, including the Chinese and American markets, exceeded 300 million US dollars. This can be regarded as how Emma couldn't think of it.
"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. Obviously, what she said was unanimously agreed by everyone present. Everyone raised their wine glasses and slammed together with a "ding". Hops are splashing.
Soon the box office spread to the Internet, and it caused a lot of exclamation. Most of the people were sighing that Zhen Fan’s luck was so good. He just performed a magic trick on this spring evening and got it. The title of the world's greatest magician. World-renowned.
Now I’m making a movie casually, earning 400 million U.S. dollars in the first weekend, because Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Russia and other countries have all come out at the box office, which adds up to 105 million U.S. dollars. 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 best-selling Iron Man III, the box office for the first weekend was only 345 million US dollars.
"This is luck!" Zhen Fan shrugged.
In fact, this is not all luck, because there are indeed human factors in it. In addition to the simultaneous release of nearly four thousand theaters in the United States, it is also related to the hard work of the president of the United States. Because the White House mentioned Zhen Fan's film at the press conference again before the film was officially released.
"We need to be like "Island Rescue", while looking forward to miracles. We must also continue to strengthen ourselves, firmly believe in our beliefs, and we will finally succeed!" This was a press conference he was cheering for his own medical reform. But many people are curious about why the president mentioned this movie.
So many experts put it forward, because Americans now live in a selfish, narrow, arrogant and even disappointed society. They need correct concepts to guide them to do what they think is right. The movie "Island Rescue" just appeared, and it discarded all the bad elements such as glitz and anxiety.
It is precisely because "Island Rescue" appeared in the right time, the right country, and the appearance of Mr. President. Coupled with the evaluation of 93% of the freshness of rotten tomatoes, this kind of applauded and popular movie naturally gets popular among everyone. As for how far the box office in the United States will go, it is not easy to predict, but the result is definitely not bad.
After returning to the hotel, Bit couldn't contain his excitement again, opened the champagne again, and celebrated with the members of the crew before it stopped a little.
"These are really amazing days!" Bit sighed to Zhen Fan afterwards, "I didn't expect that we would achieve such good results. If not unexpected, our global box office would exceed one billion US dollars!"
"You are very optimistic!" Zhen Fan smiled, "Does this mean that you should give me more dividends?"
"That's not my business~EbookFREE.me~ Hey, let those investors have a headache!" Bit Hehe smiled, "I care more about next year’s Oscars, you know, this movie appeared too right It’s time. If placed in the past few years, it may not be like this, but placed in the present, it will resonate with people!"
"Are you saying that the United States now lacks correct ideas and concepts?"
"Yes, I think we may influence some people and change some of their thinking about the country's treatment of themselves and friends!" Bit suddenly looked at Zhen Fan very seriously, "I am very happy to meet you, and I am also very happy to be able to meet you You made this movie together, so thank you, Zhen!"
"Well, I got it!" Zhen Fan laughed, "But... from now on you can imagine your Oscar statuette, best picture or best director? Or both?"
"I hope I have both!" Bit Hehe smiled, "Am I too greedy?"
Zhen Fan was about to answer him, suddenly there was a knock on the door. When he opened it, a hotel manager was standing respectfully at the door. He saw Zhen Fan hurriedly and said, "Mr. Zhen, there are a few staff who claim to be CCTV and want to see you guys!"
