Huayu timely rain, they forced me to be the top star

Chapter 238: The box office is a big hit! Fat Ice is not as good as you at rubbing
"Zhang Yang, do you know what people in the industry are saying about you now!?" Liu Yifei called Zhang Yang: "They all say you are crazy. A billion box office record? Why don't you say 10 billion!?"

"Director Xu Ke and Director Lao Mouzi can't do it. Director Xu Shanzheng may be talented, but it's impossible for him to set a Chinese box office record with his first film!"

Liu Yifei sounded very anxious. After she learned from her friends in the circle what wild words Zhang Yang said during the interview, she thought it was hallucination.

"I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious yet." Zhang Yang said in a relaxed tone: "Don't you believe me?"

"It's not a question of whether or not to believe it, but a question of whether or not it's possible!" Liu Yifei took a deep breath and said, "One billion. This is a level that Chinese-language films have never reached."

When Zhang Yang said that "So Young" could make more than 500 million at the box office, Liu Yifei actually didn't believe it. She thought that 300 million would be great. Her main reason was that she wanted to act in a movie with Zhang Yang.

As for one billion, she thought it was impossible.

"Why not?" Zhang Yang took a sip of water. Liu Yifei was not the first person to call him.

"Avatar has earned 10 billion yuan in box office in 13 years, but some of it has been concealed by the cinemas."

"Titanic, a re-released movie, earned more than 13 billion yuan at the beginning of this year, which shows that our country has a box office ceiling."

Liu Yifei: “.”

"Sure, they are 3D, the ticket prices are higher, and they are relatively less likely to be pirated, but I am telling you that the upper limit of the box office market is very high."

"Then let's talk about Painted Skin 2, which grossed over 2 million yuan. Our film can also be considered Lost on Journey , and it also has an audience base."

Liu Yifei: “.”

"You can see for yourself the quality of the film, so I won't brag about it."

Liu Yifei: “.”

You've boasted that the box office has reached 10 billion, isn't that just bragging?

"The most important point is that this is a comedy and it will be released during the Lunar New Year holiday."

"In our country, this is actually the most popular movie for all ages."

"As long as the marketing is in place and the brand is well known, the reviews will be overwhelming."

“There is no shortage of people going to the cinema to support it.”

"Don't you have confidence in me?"

Liu Yifei: “.”

The only thing about marketing is that she really trusts Zhang Yang 100%.

"I can't argue with you." Liu Yifei was a little discouraged.

How come it seems like this movie could really make a billion dollars at the box office?
Although Zhang Yang did not star in this movie, he invested in it, owning 20% of the profits.

What kind of vision and return rate does it take to invest in China's first billion-dollar movie?
can not imagine!

"You can't convince me, which means you still don't accept it." Zhang Yang's eyes turned: "Then let's make another bet. If the box office of this movie exceeds 1 billion, you promise me one thing, how about it?"

"What's the matter?" Liu Yifei became interested.

She was quite curious about what Zhang Yang wanted from her.

"When I want to work with you on a movie, as long as there's no problem with the script and the project, you can't deliberately find reasons to refuse and act with me at the market price, even if we're having a conflict at the time," said Zhang Yang.

"Sure!" Liu Yifei felt that it was impossible for her to quarrel with Zhang Yang. So far, this stinky man had not annoyed her.

Oh, the last time I snatched her mask doesn’t count.

Besides, she has the right to interpret the project.

She felt that Zhang Yang was giving her resources in disguise.

"What if you lose?" Liu Yifei asked.

"When do you want to get married?" Zhang Yang asked.

Liu Yifei:!

"Go away! You're talking as if I really want to marry you!" Liu Yifei hung up the phone.

If she wants to get married, would Zhang Yang still be unwilling to marry her?
"Tsk~"

Zhang Yang shook his head slightly and continued to make the call.

Because of his "arrogant" remarks, many people called to express their concern for him.

At this time, you can also see who is worth making close friends with, who can be made friends, and who should be kept at a distance.

At this time, the media was reporting extensively on what he said in the interview.

This inevitably attracted some keyboard warriors to "do justice".

[It is a good thing for young people to have goals, but it is wrong to be too ambitious. 】

[It is said that people with no hair on their lips cannot do things well. Now that you have hair on your lips, how can you say such stupid things? ]

[I'm not a Western worshipper, but don't you think it's ridiculous that you want to surpass "Avatar" and "Titanic"? ]

[What movies like "Painted Skin 2" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" have not been able to do, why do you think a nonsensical movie like "Lost in Thailand" can do it? ]

[Zhang Yang is getting cocky. Playing the role of Yuwen Tuo, does he really think he is a big shot? ]

【.】

These are all relatively nice words.

Many of them are outright insults.

They say he has no brains. He looks good but he has traded his brains for something. I guess his head is empty.

Some media also interviewed the two directors, Rikutaro and Xiao Gangpao, about this matter, which was typical of those who just wanted to watch the fun and not mind making trouble.

Both of them are talkative people who like to ride on the popularity of others.

"Zhang Yang? Never heard of him."

“I think I’ve heard of Lost in Thailand.”

"It's a movie that the industry generally doesn't think highly of and no one is willing to invest in."

"Chairman Wang Changtian is more generous and willing to support Xu Shanzheng's dream of becoming a director. I heard that if he invests 20 million, he won't lose money if the box office exceeds 50 million."

Although Lu Tailang did not say it explicitly, his disdain was evident in his words.

On the contrary, Feng Xiaogang, who is always known for his young talents, did not say anything radical this time: "It is a good thing for young people to have ideas. The Chinese film industry needs new forces."

"As for whether it's 1 billion or 500 million, I haven't seen the movie, so I have no say. I think it was actor Xiao Zhang who said this."

"I urge the media to be more tolerant."

When this news spread all over the Internet, many people thought that the little cannon was possessed by another spirit.

Even Xiao Gangpao's wife thought so, and said in surprise: "It's rare that he didn't argue."

"What are you arguing about?" Feng Xiaogang said he was not stupid.

The box office of "1942" he directed was not low, but for a movie with an investment of 1.5 million yuan, it actually lost money, and it has been talked about by the media.

Now that a young man has finally come out to divert attention, why does he still want to draw attention to himself?
If he criticizes, there's no telling what the media will say about him.

And if "Lost in Thailand" does well at the box office, he will be slapped in the face.

"Let the bullets fly for a while."

Time comes the next day.

The media announced the first day box office of "Lost in Thailand".

With a screening schedule of 38.5, the film took 64% of the box office, a total of 3900 million (including the midnight show).

Such a high box office directly broke the records of the highest box office on Wednesday in Chinese film history and the highest first-day box office record for Chinese-language films.

Many media outlets that have received money and have good relations with Guangguang Media have begun to brag about this achievement.

Lost in Thailand proves Xu Shanzheng's directing ability

"Looking at the first day's box office to discuss the feasibility of Zhang Yang's mouth cannon"

"The combination of Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang can bring everyone expectations"

"A new comedy iron triangle emerges?"

These exaggerated news, combined with the verbal abuse and sarcasm directed at Zhang Yang on the Internet the day before, were inexplicably funny.

But no one was too shocked, after all, "Lost in Thailand" starred several first-line male stars such as Xu Shanzheng, Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo.

Pang Bing also makes a cameo appearance in this movie, and Light Media is in charge of its promotion and marketing. Coupled with the audience base accumulated by its "previous work" Lost on Journey, a movie with a box office of 300 million is still possible.

Although Zhang Yang is still a second-tier celebrity, he is a celebrity of this year. His popularity on the Internet and among young people is even higher than that of some first-tier male stars, and he has appeared in many major events.

Although Zhang Yang's verbal attack was ridiculed by the public, it also attracted huge attention and discussion for the movie.

It is completely understandable and not surprising that the box office is higher on the first day or even in the first few days.

Everyone is waiting to see the show and also wants to see if there will be a miracle.

On Thursday, December 12, the screening schedule for Lost in Thailand increased to 13 percent, but the box office was the same as the first day.

“Sure enough, this movie will have a weak follow-up.”

"One billion? Three hundred million is impressive."

"If a movie with an investment of 30 million yuan can earn over 100 million yuan at the box office, just be happy."

"At least Xu Shanzheng has joined the billion-yuan box office club."

"." Some people in the circle were worried about Zhang Yang, some were sarcastic, and some were waiting to see the show.

As of December 12, the screening schedule for Lost in Thailand had reached 14, which surprised people in the industry.

When theaters schedule screenings, they will consider the strength of the publicity and distribution companies, the film’s star cast, and the film’s reputation.

In the final analysis, in order to give face to some big companies in the entertainment industry, they will give more box office to whoever can make them more money.

The fact that they are still adding screenings for "Lost in Thailand" at this time means one thing.

The film has received good offline word of mouth, so cinemas are set to make a killing over the weekend.

The box office on that day also proved everyone's speculation, with the single-day box office reaching 5500 million.

The cumulative box office for the three working days from Wednesday to Friday actually exceeded 100 million.

This shocked many people.

【Join the billion-dollar club in three days? 】

[Xu Shan is a bit fierce, so it’s okay to call him Director Xu from now on.]

[Exaggerated, this speed is on par with "Painted Skin 2", a figure that Rikutaro cannot even begin to match.]

[This movie, can't it really have a box office of 1 billion? ]

[It's unlikely. People who want to watch it are definitely gathered in the front.]

[Really? But my friends are talking about this movie, saying it's very funny and they want to take their families to see it. I, who don't usually go to the cinema to watch movies, also plan to take my family to see it.]

【.】

More people started discussing this movie on the Internet.

In the Chinese entertainment industry, all directors, screenwriters and celebrity actors also began to pay attention to the news.

They began to wonder how far Lost in Thailand could go.

Still no one thinks Zhang Yang’s prediction can come true.

But with the current foundation, "Lost in Thailand" has a real chance of exceeding 5 million yuan in box office.

This is the fourth person after Wu Ershan, Lao Mouzi and Jiang Wen.

All major media outlets also rushed to report on the incident, but the ridicule of Zhang Yang did not decrease, but instead increased.

On December 2012, 12, the crew of "Lost in Thailand" came to the mountain city for promotion.

In the cinema, someone interviewed Zhang Yang again: "Zhang Yang, do you still stick to your prediction?"

“Of course.” Zhang Yang nodded and answered decisively: “I don’t need to say much about the quality of our Lost in Thailand. I believe that the dozens of laughs you all had just now are the answer.”

"Being able to bring so much joy to everyone, I believe Lost in Thailand can go a long way. After today, the box office of the movie will exceed 200 million, and tomorrow it will exceed 300 million. It will only be a matter of time before it exceeds 1 billion!"

Naturally, this passage was posted online by the media with a nosy mind.

Various eye-catching headlines emerge one after another, attracting a lot of discussion.

However, many people have already watched "Lost in Thailand" and have become fans of this movie.

[To be honest, this is the best comedy I have seen in recent years. I was about to find fault with Zhang Yang when I encountered some troubles in life, but I ended up laughing so hard that I shed a few tears and my emotions stabilized.]

[I don’t know whether it can reach 1 billion, but in my opinion, this movie is indeed better than “Avatar” and “Titanic”. In our own land of China, it is entirely possible to have a higher box office.]

[I am Langhua. I went to the cinema to support Zhang Yang. I just want to say that I am a fan of the right people. They let me see such a funny comedy.]

【As a viewer, I am very satisfied with the Chinese comedy that has been made like this. 】

[I'm not a troll, some people don't come here for this kind of literary style, I just like this kind of vulgar and funny. ]

【This is a real New Year's film! 】

【.】

Of course there were negative reviews, but as long as they didn’t affect the overall situation, Zhang Yang didn’t even bother to pay attention to them.

On December 12, many people went online with curiosity to check the box office record of "Lost in Thailand".

Then they saw the great news that Lost in Thailand had reached 2.36 million and exceeded by a lot, the specific number was million.

On Saturday the 15th, the box office of "Lost in Thailand" reached 9800 million, almost breaking the million mark in a single day, but it also successfully broke the record for the highest single-day box office for a Chinese-language film.

This result shocked countless people!

Also includes people in the entertainment industry.

"9800 million in a single day, doesn't that mean we are almost entering the billion-dollar club in a single day?"

"This, are you sure it's not fake news?"

"It surpassed the total box office of The Banquet on the first and second days, and now it has exceeded 20 million in a single day. It's terrifying."

"I don't quite understand. Is this definitely not the trend of foreign blockbusters?!"

"."

Lost, everyone in the circle is lost.

In fact, it's not just them. Wang Changtian, Xu Shanzheng, Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang and others are also confused. Recently, they feel a little unreal when they walk.

They all have confidence in "Lost in Thailand", thinking that it will be easy to make over 100 million and make a small profit, and there is a good chance of breaking 300 million and everyone will make a fortune. If they are lucky, it can break 500 million and everyone will be a big winner.

But the "10 billion" that Zhang Yang mentioned was a number they dared not imagine.

As a result, the film is now surprisingly well received and attractive to watch.

The box office has reached nearly 2.4 million in just four days since its release, and 5 million is definitely not the end.

“Perhaps this movie will have the potential to break the box office record for a single Chinese-language film?”

Until now, no one has thought that the box office could exceed 10 billion.

Apart from the fact that it is unrealistic, pirated copies may appear at any time, which will cut the number of people going to the movies into half.

That night, Happy Camp was broadcast, and Xu Zheng and three other people participated in the recording, along with Zhang Yang.

The show is full of jokes and has made more people curious about "Lost in Thailand".

The box office results on Sunday surprised everyone, including Zhang Yang.

There were 58 screenings and 80% of the box office, with a box office of 1.04 million, just barely over million, but this is still over million!

A movie with a single-day box office of over 100 million yuan was born so magnificently when no one was prepared.

In five days, the total box office reached 3.4 million.

"I have brought about a good influence." Zhang Yang was delighted.

The memories in his mind can be clearly seen, including the box office performance of the original "Lost in Thailand".

In the first five days, the box office barely exceeded 300 million, and the fifth day's box office was lower than the fourth day, instead of increasing like it is now and breaking through 100 million.

This is a good thing for him, as it means that "Lost in Thailand" has a chance of surpassing "Avatar" and "Titanic" in box office!

On December 12, with the screening schedule unchanged, Lost in Thailand's share of the box office was almost the same, but the box office was cut in half to a little over 17 million.

Monday is generally recognized as the day with the lowest box office in the week, so this drop is actually normal.

But this made many people in the entertainment industry feel relieved.

Such a drop shows that the box office potential of "Lost in Thailand" is approaching its limit.

But when the box office rose to 18 million again on Tuesday, the th, countless people fell silent again.

The media didn't care about these things. On December 12, the 19th day after the release of "Lost in Thailand", they were all praising the performance of "Lost in Thailand" and congratulating it on winning the "highest first-week box office record for a Chinese-language film" and the fastest box office record of a Chinese-language film to break 8 million.

"At this rate, this movie won't really make 1 billion at the box office, right?!"

Du Chun called his bad friends.

"Why is Zhang Yang so lucky? Why did a movie where he only made a cameo appearance do so well?"

"That's not the point. 'Lost in Thailand' having a high box office is a good thing, it shows the film industry is developing. Normally, a cameo appearance in a movie like this is just a nice thing to say."

"The main characters of this movie are Xu Shanzheng, Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang, so most of the attention will be on them. Even if Pang Bing makes a cameo appearance at the end, he can't steal the limelight, but Zhang Yang completely took it."

"The box office of Lost in Thailand is getting higher and higher, netizens are talking more and more about it, and Zhang Yang's exposure is also increasing!"

Jealousy made everyone angry.

At this time, Du Chun suddenly said: "I'll ask someone to help me. He said he has a way to deal with Zhang Yang."

Soon, Yu Zhen appeared in the group chat and got straight to the point.

"Everyone."

"Don't you think Zhang Yang is taking advantage of the situation too much?"

"It's also a guest appearance, but Fat Bing has never marketed it!"

"But he has been following the road show and participating in Happy Camp."

"Do you think so?"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.

"understood!"
