Chapter 303: Celebration Banquet, Join the Billionaire Directors Club!
Although the total box office of "A Little Thing About First Love" has exceeded 80 million yuan and "Those Years", Cao Jun still has not stopped his road shows.
Because with the increase in release time, the proliferation of film piracy on the Internet, and the impact of other new films, the film schedule and single-day box office of "A Little Thing About First Love" inevitably began to decline.
Therefore, in order for "A Little Thing About First Love" to achieve a box office success of 100 million yuan, Cao Jun still refused to relax and always stayed at the forefront of the film's promotion.
Relying on Cao Jun's strong appeal and the reputation of "First Love", the film's box office did not suffer a setback.
On February 19, the 11th day of the release of "First Love", the film schedule accounted for 17%, and the single-day box office was 5 million yuan.
On February 20, the 12th day after the release of "First Love", the film schedule accounted for 15%, and the single-day box office was 4.2 million.
On February 21, the 13th day of the release of "First Love", the film schedule accounted for 14%, and the single-day box office was 3.1 million.
On February 22, the 14th day of the release of "First Love", the film schedule accounted for 13%, and the single-day box office was 3.5 million.
On February 23, the 15th day of the release of "First Love", the film schedule accounted for 10%, and the single-day box office was 2.2 million.
On February 24, the 16th day of the release of "First Love", the film schedule accounted for 10%, and the single-day box office was 2.4 million.
As of 9 pm on February 24, the total box office of "A Little Thing About First Love" successfully exceeded the 100 million mark on the 16th day of its release.
At the same time, Cao Jun also became the fifth mainland director to enter the billion-dollar club after Zhang Yimou, Cheng Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, and Ning Hao.
Moreover, Cao Jun is the only film director in history whose first film has a box office of over 100 million.
10 at night.
Cao Jun led Wang Bingbing and other people back to the capital.
Before leaving, Cao Jun faced everyone and reminded: "Don't forget the celebration banquet at 7 o'clock tomorrow evening!"
"I know, Brother Jun!" Everyone replied in unison, with smiles of exhaustion and joy on their faces.
After half a month of road shows, the total box office of "A Little Thing About First Love" has now reached 100 million. Cao Jun can finally sit back and relax and take a good rest for a few days.
Although everyone is very tired, judging from today's results, all the efforts are worth it.
Cao Jun and Wang Bingbing returned to their homes in Dongshan Villa one after another.
Not long after he sat down, before the water boiled, Cao Jun's cell phone rang. It was Huang Lei.
This was already the 20th call Cao Jun received today. Without even thinking about it, he knew it was a good news call.
After the call was connected, Huang Lei said happily: "Xiao Cao, congratulations, your first movie has exceeded 100 million. It is simply amazing. I knew you could..."
Facing Huang Lei's compliments and compliments, Cao Jun also smiled and replied: "Thank you, Teacher Huang, let's have fun together!"
Although Huang Lei did not invest much in the movie "A Little Thing About First Love", only 2 million, but who made this movie have a high box office?
This time, Huang Lei could be regarded as a blind cat and a dead rat. He made money for the first time he invested in a movie, and he made a lot of money, and he felt indescribably happy.
After chatting for a while, Huang Lei asked with great interest: "How about coming to my house tomorrow to celebrate? Let's have a few drinks together."
Cao Jun said sternly: "Not tomorrow. Tomorrow you go to the celebration banquet with me. Our company has organized a celebration banquet for us. You are also one of the investors. You must go and call Sister Li too!"
Huang Lei people are in high spirits when happy events happen and they say cheerfully: "Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow!"
After talking to Huang Lei on the phone, Cao Jun discovered that Wang Bingbing had already made tea.
Wang Bingbing brought the hot tea to Cao Jun, smiled and joked: "Boss, drink tea."
Cao Jun pretended to be unhappy and asked: "What did you call me just now? Say it again if you dare!"
Wang Bingbing knew Cao Jun's taste and hurriedly said to Cao Jun: "Brother Jun, I know I was wrong. I was joking with you."
Cao Jun also became interested,
He said angrily: "Kneel down!"
Wang Bingbing knew that Cao Jun liked this, so he hesitated for a moment, then obeyed and knelt down.
Cao Jun pretended to be serious and said: "Call me Jun Ye!"
Wang Bingbing was happy, but pretended to be reluctant and called out: "Master..."
Cao Jun was very pleased, nodded and said, "From now on, you must call me "Master" in private. Do you hear me?"
"heard it."
"Um?"
"I heard you!"
"That's pretty much it."
At this moment, Cao Jun's cell phone rang again.
Cao Jun picked up his cell phone and saw that it was a call from Xu Zheng.
Xu Zheng was also on the phone and congratulated Cao Jun.
After talking to Cao Jun on the phone, Xu Zheng turned his head, looked at his wife Tao Hong, and asked proudly: "How was it? What did I tell you before? I said Xiao Cao's movie can break 100 million, so it will definitely break the 100 million mark."
100 million!"
Tao Hong smiled and said: "Xiao Cao is young and promising. What are you proud of? What does it have to do with you? Have you invested? No? If you have the ability, you can also make a movie with a box office of over 100 million. Let me see.
ah!"
Xu Zheng said solemnly: "Don't throw me away, I don't believe it yet. Ning Hao, what Xiao Cao can do, I, Xu Zhenghui, can't do. I will leave my words here today. Sooner or later, I, Xu Zheng
I’ll make a movie with a box office of over 100 million and show it to you!”
Tao Hong smiled and replied: "Okay, I'll wait for that day to come!"
The next day, 7pm.
Century Pictures, the film's investor, and Huayi Brothers held a grand celebration event for the film "A Little Thing About First Love" in Beijing.
At the celebration ceremony, Zhang Hongsen, deputy director of the Film Bureau of the General Administration of Radio and Television, Han Sanye, chairman of China Film Group, uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com and Huang Zhongjun and Huang Zhonglei, one of the investors of the film, all attended the event.
In addition to the main creators such as Cao Jun and Wang Bingbing, Huang Lei, He Sui, 6 Lan Jie, 16 盍, 4 Kui, 12 Ceylon, Gye Jin, 20 Hao and others also attended the event.
In order to thank Cao Jun for his contribution to the movie "A Little Thing About First Love", Huang Zhongjun, the chairman of Huayi Brothers, also awarded Cao Jun a check of 500,000 yuan as a reward on the spot just like Han Sanye rewarded Ning Hao.
Cao Jun, who had won high box office and high awards, was also very proud and said happily: "I am very happy, thank you to Director Huang, thank you to Brother Huayi, and thank you to Mr. Han."
Although China Film Group did not invest in the movie "A Little Thing About First Love," Han Sanye still arranged a very competitive schedule for Cao Jun. During the period when "First Love" was released, almost no foreign language films were released.
Needless to say, Mr. Han's ability in the film industry is that if anyone dares to offend him, he will directly put in Hollywood movies and destroy your movie.
However, Mr. Han did not expect that Cao Jun's youth romance film could actually reach a box office of over 100 million like "Crazy Racing", and he couldn't help but admire him.
Therefore, when Cao Jun was being interviewed, he also specifically thanked Han Sanye. There was nothing he could do about it. He covered the sky with his hands and refused to even say a word of thanks. Next time a new movie is released, he will definitely not be able to bear it.
When being interviewed by reporters, Han Sanye also happily said: "Cao Jun's becoming a member of the Billion Dollar Directors Club has a very special meaning. For the younger generation of directors, he will become the goal of many new generation directors."
"At the same time, it is also an incentive for young directors. We also hope that more young directors, like Cao Jun and Ning Hao, can break the 100 million yuan mark."
