Chapter 356, Box Office Results!

"400 million in box office revenue on the first day, 600 million in box office revenue on the second day!"

At this moment, Jiang Chenggang felt as if he were in a dream.

This box office performance is quite impressive.

At least for this furnace.

That's incredibly impressive.

The box office on the first day is a good indicator of the size of the investment.

The investment in the furnace is entirely small to medium in scale.

The film, with its low to medium budget, has achieved its current success.

"Even Batman's box office dropped on its second day, but our movie's went up! Holy crap, that's incredible!"

"The last movie I saw with this kind of trend was Crazy Stone!"

Jiang Chenggang was so excited that he was a little numb.

Crazy Stone achieved outstanding commercial success.

Low cost, high return.

"Calm down, calm down." Li Yun smiled slightly, trying to calm Jiang Chenggang down.

"furnace".

They have achieved their current business success.

If he had to say something, Li Yun was somewhat surprised by the excellent business results.

Perhaps we should thank those online trolls; it was precisely the public discussion sparked by them that gave this movie such an opportunity to gain popularity.

In terms of the initial buzz, Li Yun felt that it was right to thank them.

Publicity and quality.

These are all essential items.

To be honest, beating Batman at the box office is something we can talk about.

Even with the most incredible cheat codes, unless the world goes crazy, this is absolutely impossible.

After all, the scale of the investment is what it is.

In terms of pure box office revenue, it certainly doesn't qualify for comparison.

But the success of a single film.

It's definitely not determined solely by box office revenue.

Although this furnace achieved fairly good results.

But Li Yun said it calmly.

not enough.

It's not over yet.

"We've made a lot of money this time, what more do you want?" Jiang Chenggang swallowed hard.

"Don't rush, it's not over yet."

At this moment, Li Yun pondered.

In terms of box office performance alone, this movie can only be considered to have made money.

We've broken even.

But the path I have to take is not as simple as just making a movie recoup its costs.

He wanted to acquire more resources.

He needs to prove his greater value as a director.

Greater value deserves better resources.

This applies to myself as well.

The same applies to "Silenced".

"So what do you want?"

"Of course we should win the award," Li Yun said matter-of-factly.

Win an award.

For many film directors.

This is something I desire even more than box office success.

Awards from the three major film festivals.

The Cannes Film Festival, also known as the Oscars, is an international event.

These are sacred places that everyone in the entertainment industry yearns for.

Li Yun's thoughts were also very simple.

Resources, everything is a resource.

Whether as a producer/distributor, or as a director/actor.

Resources are absolutely needed.

A bad director can't get big actors, and a bad actor can't get a job with a big director.

Everything corresponds to each other.

Li Yun wants to prepare for the film "Let the Bullets Fly" this time.

Right now, we only have actors, and we can't find suitable ones.

The filming crew has mostly assembled.

It's not that difficult.

"What kind of movie are you making? Why do you have to send us away? We got along so well. Flowers may bloom again, but youth never returns. Can't you just spend some more time with us?"

At this moment, an elegant man stood before Li Yun, smiling at him.

The person in front of me is my trouble.

As their personalities become more lively, they often develop their own desires.

Desires that pertain to one's personality.

They all appear here.

Zhang Mazi was looking at Li Yun at this moment.

He grinned widely.

He was laughing so happily.

Beside him was Huang Silang, and the other six represented his Ma Fei brothers' personalities.

They each have their own distinct personalities.

Desire.

The most basic desire of life is nothing other than life itself.

The most basic desire.

At this moment, Huang Silang, with his pockmarked face, was secretly watching Li Yun with a slight smile.

Both are personalities who enjoy the glamorous world.

Their aggressiveness is extremely strong.

It wasn't just the two of them.

Zhang Mazi, Huang Silang, and the advisor are all vividly portrayed, each with their own desires.

They possess their own absolute desires.

They have a desire to survive.

Everyone wants to be the master of their own body.

Everyone wants to do that.

The significance of the film "Silenced" is that it was my debut work.

For his first truly self-directed film, Li Yun was absolutely meticulous.

It concerns how to obtain the resources that I, as a director, will be able to access.

"A blockbuster movie can attract a group of actors, but it can't attract all the good actors. Some actors need critical acclaim, so I need to become a director who is both critically acclaimed and commercially successful."

At this moment, Li Yun pondered.

The initial expectation for the movie "Silenced" was that it would be good if it could break even.

Looking back now, it's not just about breaking even, but actually making a profit, which is definitely beyond expectations.

The box office trend continued to rise on the third day.

Even Batman next door has started to decline.

While good wine needs no bush, "Silenced" managed to break even and even make a profit, even under pressure from Hollywood blockbusters like "Batman".

This is also the point that excites Jiang Chenggang the most.

The entire box office revenue has been almost entirely absorbed by Hollywood superhero movies.

The current state of "Silenced" is like a tenacious little grass.

They are incredibly strong.

It even turned the tables on domestic rating websites, becoming the highest-rated film of the month.

Compared to their highly anticipated "The Batman," that monster that siphons box office revenue and viewership, it scores even higher.

This time, Batman achieved remarkable success at the global box office.

And the resilience of the film *Silenced*.

It could even be said that a hole was torn open in the global box office.

A fairly large opening.

"I feel that you might really become an amazing director in the future."

"Of course." Li Yun paused for a moment before saying, "Everyone says this furnace is crucial for us, so I'm taking it very seriously."

Li Yun's thinking was very clear.

After filming the furnace, film Let the Bullets Fly.

Using the semi-artistic work "Silenced" as a starting point, they ventured into commercial production.

Then let's try our hand at truly commercially successful blockbusters.

For example, The Wandering Earth.

This is a true masterpiece.

In this world without Liu Cixin, the Three-Body Problem and The Wandering Earth will be presented in film and television.

These all require resources.

It's still a series of increasingly higher-level resources.

The furnaces are not enough.

It's not enough for me to get rid of all my personalities.

That's not enough to propel him to the pinnacle of the entertainment industry.

But at least this is a good start.

At least the achievements made so far.

Aunt Liu probably won't say any more nonsense now.

This powerful public opinion regarding scores is the best weapon for a counterattack.
