Chapter 33 Record Maker
The night is getting darker, and even the bustling Tokyo is gradually sinking into silence. In the luxurious suite of the Hilton Hotel, Lao Liu opened the window, and the oncoming night wind dispelled the dullness and brought a burst of refreshment.
After looking at the night view of Tokyo condescendingly, Lao Liu returned to the computer in the room and refreshed Bai Xiaofei's Weibo. Perhaps because of the release of "Kung Fu", there were many viewers in the discussion area. They were discussing their intuitive feelings after watching the movie!
"It's worthy of being Bai Xiaofei's movie, the boss didn't disappoint us!"
"It feels like a dream, so beautiful, five-star recommendation!"
"This...is probably a tragic fan!"
Old Liu curled his lips. Although she said this, she felt that such a tragic fan was really cute.
She also has many bad fans, such as a bad movie like "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", which can also praise the "peak of appearance" and the "gospel of the Appearance Association" in a variety of ways...
"Who is the first to come out? Let's take a step forward? (Everyone has taken a step) OK, according to the rules of the world, let's fight one by one... Come over with the aunt who takes onions... My laugh point is very strange. This point makes me laugh so hard that I almost slipped..."
"Mainland action movies are usually full of serious and pious colors, but Xiaobai runs contrary to this serious genre. He reminds the audience in his own way that film art not only expresses nobility and sacrifice, but also funny is one of its traditions."
"Brother Fa, Hong Gu, just these two people cooperate again is worthy of the fare!"
After scanning the lines down a few lines, Lao Liu simply closed his phone and stared at the screen for a while. Half an hour later, she looked up at the time, then turned on her phone, and watched the box office of "Kung Fu" the second day of release: 640 million!
Cumulative box office: 1.29 billion...
By the way, I will look at the box office forecast: 8.3 billion...
Too irritating...
8.3 billion, which is directly converted into USD 1.1 billion...
The first movie in mainland China to have a box office of over 1 billion US dollars?
Suddenly I thought of Xiaobai saying to her in person: "...You are a little older, otherwise, I will definitely look for you in the heroine!"
I am five years older than you!
...
"Haha, Xiaobai, you've refreshed the record again!"
"Kung Fu" was released, and relevant stakeholders were very concerned. The one who was most concerned was of course Penguin Pictures, which was related to the "Kung Fu Universe" plan!
Two days after its release, the box office exceeded 1.2 billion!
Sun Huaizhong quickly called Xiaobai, his tone was a little respectful...
Can you be disrespectful? 1.2 billion yuan is released for two days. What does it mean?
Unless the movie is banned, breaking the record of "Wolf Warrior 2" is just around the corner!
"Tengxun will increase the publicity of the video!" Sun Huaizhong promised, "We will invest most of the resources of this New Year's Day in "Kung Fu"!"
"Well..." Xiaobai tightened his bath towel and nodded, "The studio will cooperate with you with all his strength."
"…What are you doing? Why do I hear the sound of water?"
"Big Boss, I'm taking a shower!"
"…Haha, it's delayed you. I'm so sorry, just wash it slowly!"
Sun Huaizhong hung up the phone...
Xiaobai looked at his cell phone speechlessly. After a while, more than thirty phone calls had already dialed. He took off his clothes at 11 o'clock in the evening, and then he was wrapping his bath towel and answering the phone...
An hour and a half passed!
“…Who is it?”
I plugged my phone into the charger and walked into the bathroom barefoot. The phone rang again and cursed, but Xiaobai still came over. This time it was Miss Yang Lan: "Hey!"
“…I know it’s close to 1.3 billion…”
"I was very excited, and I answered more than thirty calls. Now I just want to take a shower and go to bed!"
"Ha...ah, I miss you too, hurry up and go to bed!"
After yawning and hanging up the phone, Xiaobai was about to continue the unfinished work. As soon as he left, his phone rang again...
Fortunately, this time it was WeChat.
"Are you asleep?"
“(~﹃~)~zz”
After a look back, Xiaobai closed his phone...
...
Although the feedback from various statistical data proves that the market response of "Kung Fu" is strong, the studio, including Penguin Pictures, did not weaken the fierce publicity momentum at all, and various publicity measures emerge one after another.
The on-site interviews of the theater were in front of some famous theaters in cities, and the news also interspersed with many scenes of interviewing ordinary audiences.
Of course, those who can appear on TV must be well received!
At the same time, they also "accidentally met" some celebrities who watched "Kung Fu", and these people also praised the film.
For example, Xu Bald Head in Shanghai in San Francisco was interviewed. This famous actor who participated in the guest appearance of "Kung Fu" would definitely not be stingy with his praise. Moreover, the film is really excellent and will not affect his reputation at all. Of course, he also said, "It's just that my character has too little time to play!"
Wanda International Cinema, Huang Bo just came out and happened to be blocked by the reporter. He also talked about his experience of watching the movie, "I met a dream from beginning to end, and it is often very exciting. This is definitely the best film in recent years. I strongly recommend that everyone go and see it. There will definitely be huge surprises. Bai Xiaofei is really amazing!"
The publicity cost has been increased to 200 million!
Fujixun and Bai Xiaofei Studio used all possible means to arouse the audience's curiosity and prompted them to enter the theater, and the more times the better.
Xiaobai also posted some behind-the-scenes content during shooting on his Weibo, such as the scene of Honggu contacting and swearing, such as the scene of Xiaobai's fitness...
Anyone who can play a publicity role, Xiaobai doesn’t mind at all!
As long as it is beneficial to the film, he can take the lead without hesitation during publicity!
Unless there is a bottom-line hype scandal!
Xiaobai’s appeal is strong, and his number of fans ranks among the top five celebrities on Weibo!
These people tried their best to applaud the movie and wanted to share their favorite videos with people all over the world.
They recommend their favorite videos to others through various channels...
The overwhelming publicity bombing, the explosive reputation, the waving and shouting of celebrities, and the fame and appeal accumulated by Xiaobai in five years have attracted a large number of viewers to enter the theater and pay for "Kung Fu"!
Moreover, the quality of the movie itself will make most viewers feel that the trip is worth it!
Then what?
They will recommend more people to go to theaters to watch movies...
In this case, even under normal circumstances, Sunday's box office will be relatively reduced compared to Saturday, and Kung Fu has a box office of 540 million...
Okay, it’s been released for three days, and the box office in the first weekend was released: 1.77 billion!
It once again broke the first weekend record of mainland film history, and even within the entire region, it can rank in the top five...
The production cost of "Kung Fu" is 420 million yuan, plus 200 million yuan in promotion and distribution, which is almost 620 million yuan in production costs, and 1.77 billion yuan. It can be announced that the cost can be recovered...
