On February 19th, the early morning mist enveloped the foggy city of Tianhai.
It was a calm morning as always. Office workers hurried to the company with fried dough sticks in their mouths and soy milk. They passed by the subway and looked at the movie posters all over the subway. They murmured in their hearts that they would not have a holiday during the Chinese New Year and would choose when to get off work.
A good movie to watch.
As of this morning, "Journey to the West" has accumulated a box office of 1.58 billion, and its reputation is polarized. Those who think it is good are praised highly, while those who think it is bad are devalued wildly.
"Kung Fu India" has a cumulative box office of 1.2 billion, and its reputation is tepid.
"Riding the Wind and Waves" has mostly received positive reviews, and its box office has reached 960 million. It should be no problem to break 1 billion, but the potential is about the same.
The reputation of "Interstellar" has collapsed, the film schedule has been cut to 5%, and the total box office has only just exceeded 1 billion, and it is facing a downward trend at any time.
It was also on this day that "Journey to the Center of the Earth" entered the top ten of this week's box office list with a box office of 2.36 million overnight, ranking first in the real-time box office list.
The headquarters of Bona Film and Television is located in Tianhai. The director of their film and television investment department is named Li. At this time, he came to work early, gnawing on steamed buns and checking the box office rankings as usual.
After taking a look, he felt that his eyes were dazzled?
What topped the real-time box office list was not the familiar faces he had watched for half a month, but a movie that he had not originally liked.
After all, the investment is 50 million, the actors are all new generation, not top-notch, and the director is a well-known joker in the industry.
A mobile director!
Who can see this?
However, he quickly calmed down after confirming that he had read it correctly. It was just a matter of time. After all, it was a new film. Although the box office of more than two million yuan overnight was quite unexpected, it was not too disappointing.
Things that surprise people.
At most at night! This "Journey to the Center of the Earth" will definitely be killed!
Li You thought firmly.
We are all in this industry. Who doesn’t know how difficult it is to make a movie? How easy is it to make a good movie?
Just when he and many of his colleagues thought so, the performance of this movie fell beyond everyone's expectations.
…
At 8 a.m., "Journey to the Center of the Earth" topped the real-time box office list.
Well, that's normal! After all, there weren't any good movies during the same period. Those blockbusters had been released for nearly twenty days, and everyone who needed to see them had already seen them. It was normal that they couldn't compare at night.
At 12 noon, "Journey to the Center of the Earth" still ranked first with a box office of 13 million.
Yo? It's doing well! The second-placed "Journey to the West" only had a box office of just over 8 million today. Okay, okay, what about tonight?
At six o'clock in the afternoon, those who disagreed began to look serious and decided to go watch the movie after get off work.
Damn, the box office of this movie has reached 50 million without realizing it. Can you believe it?
This has paid off! It’s only been a day! And everyone knows that night is when the box office explodes!
At nine o'clock in the evening, colleagues in the industry walked out of the theater with shocked faces.
This great god came out of nowhere.
Is this a movie that cost 50 million?
I’ll give you one billion! I don’t want you to make twenty movies for me, but you can make ten movies like this for me! As long as you agree, I won’t even blink an eye!
Then I took out my phone and checked.
The box office exceeded 100 million.
Just like that, as easily as breaking an egg, it broke 100 million.
On this day, Lin Juan became famous in the world!
…
At a certain clothing brand's spring press conference, Zhang Shan was chatting with the host on the stage with a smile on his face. Below were reporters and some fans. Suddenly, his assistant rushed to the stage with an anxious look on his back. Under Zhang Shan's astonishment
She looked close to his ear and whispered: "Brother Shan, Uncle Zhang has called three times. I have already told you the current situation, but he insists on you answering the phone."
Zhang Shan frowned, then quickly let go, smiled apologetically at the host and the audience, shrugged and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, please wait a moment. I don't dare not answer the old man's call."
The free and easy posture caused the fans to burst into laughter. The host also smiled and said: "Then we will wait for a while, it doesn't matter."
Zhang Shan nodded, waved to the fans in the audience, then quickly walked off the stage and answered the call with a frown: "Hello? What's wrong? We are at an event here."
"You communicate with the other side and it will be over soon." Zhang's father said in a serious tone.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Shan was stunned.
"You're going to be famous. Half an hour ago, "Journey to the Center of the Earth" had a box office of over 100 million. Now the online reputation has exploded, and it's all good reviews. Zhang Shan, this is your biggest opportunity. Now Chen Guang agrees to the theater chain.
Request, you need to join the team immediately and follow the director to promote in various theaters across the country. I have already promoted all the activities for you in the next half month."
"Everything you do now will give way to "Journey to the Center of the Earth"!" Dad Zhang said quickly. Zhang Shanleng digested it for a while, and then said in disbelief: "Breaking 100 million? I only watched two movies at noon.
It’s tens of millions, you’re not lying to me, are you?”
"Don't talk nonsense to me, finish it quickly. You have to go to Tianhai tonight. Tomorrow, we will start promoting in offline theaters, two theaters a day."
"I know, I'll go right away." Zhang Shan's tone became brisk, and even though he was happy to hang up the phone, he couldn't help but be shocked and amazed.
Is it really over 100 million?
Just one day?
Me starring?
Riding a horse is really exciting!!
At this time, the momentum of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" on the Internet is exploding just as Dad Zhang said!

Guan Xiaotong was sitting in the nanny car heading to Tianhai, scrolling through Weibo with excitement on her face. She had also just received the news and was rushed to the crew. Now there are so many people confessing their love to her on Weibo that she gained more than 100,000 followers in one afternoon!
Zhang Shan’s side is even more terrifying, with more than 300,000 followers!

And judging from the reputation, it is still a strong one!
At this time, Guan Xiaotong had already secretly made up his mind. He must hug Director Lin Juan's thick legs!
But Mama Guan, who was sitting next to her, looked remorseful and uneasy.
If I had known earlier, why would I have to talk so much!!
