After the Spring Festival holiday, Zhang Hao and his wife returned to the capital with deep resentment.
Zhang Hongze returned to Luo City feeling refreshed.
As soon as he entered the company, Wang Ye and the others immediately came to congratulate him.
Zhang Hong took off his windbreaker and went to pour a glass of water while wearing a white turtleneck sweater. He said calmly: "There is nothing to congratulate."
"Ah?" Wang Yeqi said, "Brother Hong! The box office of "Idol Legend" has reached 416 million! Isn't this worthy of congratulations?"
Yes, a week has passed.
The cumulative box office of "Idol Legend" has reached 410 million.
And this isn't the end.
The cinema has informed them that starting from tomorrow, the screening rate of "Idol Legend" in the country's three major cinemas will increase to 53% until the box office begins to show a decline.
At the same time, thanks to the spontaneous promotion of many film critics, video website UP owners and fans, the reputation of "Idol Legend" has exploded.
According to agency estimates, it will be a piece of cake for the box office to exceed 100 million in a single day in the next two days.
What they are now evaluating is whether the single-day box office can exceed 150 million tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
At the same time, the trend of Zhang Hong's other movie "Weird of Victory" and Wang Zhi's "Qingcheng Escort" has been steady.
Anyway, the daily box office this week has been hovering between 20 and 30 million, and "Qingcheng Escort" is higher.
For the sake of Wang Zhi and the investors behind it, the theater added some more films to its schedule, but "Weird of Victory" did not receive this treatment.
But after today, the Spring Festival period will be dominated by "Idol Legend".
After all, due to the issue of film schedule, the overall first-week box office of "Weird of Victory" was still slightly less than that of "Qingcheng Escort", only 1.6 billion.
"Qingcheng Escort" will exceed 180 million.
In fact, Wang Zhi's film schedule share was not taken away by "Weird to Win".
In other words, "Weird of Victory" was also affected.
Just like the box office rankings during the Spring Festival.
The first place is naturally "Idol Legend", which has a box office of over 400 million.
"Qingcheng Escort" and "Weary of Victory" ranked third and fourth respectively.
Yes, just like the first-day box office ranking, the second place is firmly occupied by another movie.
"I'm Really Not a Great Artist", director: Bai Tian.
So far, the movie's first-week box office has exceeded 250 million, firmly occupying the second-highest box office during the Spring Festival.
Originally, if it weren't for Zhang Hong, his box office would have been even higher.
It can even be said that this year’s Spring Festival stalls are so uncompetitive because of Bai Tian’s presence.
Other movies have either postponed their releases or adjusted their schedules just to avoid its spotlight.
Bai Tian is a player who became a monk halfway. He is not an academic, but he has more seniority than most academics.
Bai Tian was forty-six years old.
After graduating from high school at the age of eighteen, I didn't go to college or go to a college. Instead, I went straight south to work in Hengdian.
He didn't play a small role either, but worked as a handyman in the logistics team of the production crew.
This chore lasted three years.
Later, when a director was filming a movie with their group, he felt that this young man was good, he could endure hardships and was obedient, and he was also willing to learn, so he gave him a hand and made him his assistant director.
He is said to be an assistant director, but in fact he is just an errand boy.
It's just that this errand has been upgraded a bit.
Later, he gradually became an assistant director on camera.
The director would assign many scenes to him to shoot.
Slowly he went out on his own and started shooting things on his own.
First he started out as a third-rate commercial, then worked as an animation director, then as a web drama director, and finally became famous with the movie "I Really Can't Reason" four years ago.
This year, he was forty-two years old.
The entertainment media all say that he is a talented director and has become famous.
But in fact, the accumulation of hard work over the past twenty years has made him what he is today.
Zhang Hongcai is an example of that kind of weird talent.
However, he also has the accumulation of countless classic works from his previous life.
Having said that.
Since four years ago, Bai Tian has established his position in domestic comedy movies with the "I Really Don't XXX" series of movies.
I made five movies in four years, two with a box office of over 1 billion, two with a box office of over 500 million, and one with a box office of over 1.5 billion!
It is no exaggeration to say that he is the most famous director in the film industry today.
Why else would other Lunar New Year movies avoid its edge?
Except Wang Zhi and Zhang Hong.
Wang Zhi knew that he was no match, but he had already failed in several movies in a row before, and this time it was a last-ditch fight.
Zhang Hong didn't even know who Bai Tian was.
But for such an awesome Bai Tian, according to the box office trend this time, he will definitely lose to Zhang Hong.
Do you think Wang Ye and the others can't be excited?
Zhang Hong smiled lightly, "Isn't this a matter of course? Why is it worth getting excited about?"
Wang Ye and the others were speechless.
Seeing their adoring eyes, Zhang Hong felt so happy.
Well, his calmness is all just an act.
The purpose is to show off.
It's not all pretending, at least he was more excited than anyone else in the past few days.
But he was so excited that it didn't matter to him.
Originally based on this ratio, he now has more than 100 million in his account.
But when he thought about the tourist islands that Lin Muqing mentioned on the phone that day, there were quite a few of them, and he felt a sense of emptiness.
Wang Ye and the others were still sighing when Lin Muqing opened the door and came in.
"What are you talking about?"
Putting down her bag, Lin Muqing took off the off-white long windbreaker she was wearing. Underneath was a cream-white turtleneck sweater of the same color as Zhang Hong's, which showed off her perfect figure.
Then she took a glass of water, sat down next to Zhang Hong naturally, flipped the ends of her hair, and said, "Happy New Year."
"Ah, let's have fun together."
Zhang Hong was a little lost.
This long black cardigan looks really nice today.
There are also light blue jeans that cover her long legs and light brown leather boots on her feet.
Her long black hair was not tied into a ponytail today, but was just scattered on her back.
The very three-dimensional facial features made Zhang Hong feel a bit like Tifa in his previous life "Final Fantasy".
But her expression and facial features are still a bit cooler than Tifa's.
Tsk, is it true that one day without seeing you is like three autumns?
After not seeing her for "twenty-one years", no wonder I think she has become more beautiful.
Or is it because I have also made money, so I am more confident. I only dared to look at her with my peripheral vision before, but now I dare to look directly at her?
Zhang Hong himself didn't know.
But he knew he was in a good mood now.
Miss Lin saw that he was in a good mood, so she felt good too.
Picking up the disposable cup and taking a sip of warm water, she whispered: "Congratulations, the movie is a great success."
"Yes, yes! Brother Hong, please stop being so modest!" Wang Ye and the others next to him also followed suit.
"Isn't this a matter of course? This kind of trivial matter is not worth mentioning." Zhang Hong smiled slightly and made a calm comparison.
"Brother Hong, you are so humble again."
"Yes, yes! Excessive modesty is hypocrisy, Brother Hong!"
"Is it okay for "Idol Legend" to have a box office of over 1 billion?"
"This is not nonsense! Brother Hong is going to become the youngest director in history to have a box office of over 1 billion!"
“And this is Brother Hong’s first movie!”
The praise from the copycat leaders did not make Zhang Hong feel elated.
However, Miss Lin's eyes of relief and a little admiration made him feel very happy.
The eldest lady just sat there with a smile and listened quietly to everyone's compliments, as if they were praising her.
Zhang Hong suddenly felt that it would be nice to show his holiness in front of others occasionally.
The atmosphere was harmonious when Zhang Hong's cell phone suddenly rang.
When he saw it, it was Wu Dingguo calling.
After picking up the phone, Wu Dingguo's hearty laughter came from the receiver:
"Congratulations, Xiaohong! The movie is a hit! Can you let go of your heart?"
Zhang Hong hurriedly said: "Everywhere, it's all thanks to Uncle Wu! If you hadn't given me the green light to take "Idol Legend" to theaters, I wouldn't have known that my movie would be so great!"
Even if you don't wear it, you won't wear it.
Moreover, Zhang Hong only has intermittent bad breath, and he is not the kind of fool who doesn't understand the ways of the world.
And he only fights people he hates.
"I won't say more." Wu Dingguo explained the purpose of his visit, "Someone called me today and said he wanted to get to know you. What do you think, would the great director be willing to reward you?"
In a good mood, he also made a little joke.
Zhang Hong burst out laughing: "Why is it that a great director is not a great director? How can I not listen to what Uncle Wu has to say? But who wants to see me?"
