Chapter 504 Terrifying Box Office Results! Good News Arrives!
While feeling secretly pleased, Tian Xiwei also accepted Ding Yuxi's toast.
The following dinner was also very simple. It was basically a table full of people toasting Chen Jincheng, flattering him in all sorts of ways, and then trying to find out some information.
Of course, there are some things that Chen Jincheng can't just tell anyone he asks. There are some things he can say, such as whether the box office of "The Wandering Earth" will exceed 30 billion.
This is naturally due to online news about the Second Star becoming the number one prediction for film and television.
With "The Wandering Earth" grossing over 30 billion yuan, it has become a hit in the film industry. Currently, there is only one film in the film industry with such a record, which leaves only television series.
When asked about this topic, Chan Kam-ching only said one sentence: "This box office figure could be doubled."
These words stunned Cha Chuanyi, Zhao Ge, Ding Yuxi, and the others.
Isn't that 60 billion?
Isn’t this a bit exaggerated?
There is a famous director, the one with a lot of popularity, who seems to have made movies his whole life, but his total box office has not reached 60 billion.
A box office of 60 billion is enough to rank among the top in global box office rankings.
If the box office really reaches that level, it would be a terrifying bomb for the film industry.
After the dinner, Cha Chuanyi, Zhao Ge, and Ding Yuxi were still feeling a bit dizzy, eager to know the final box office results for "Wandering Blue Star".
Naturally, Chen Jincheng had a great time back at the hotel that night.
Because a certain sweet girl found an excuse to ask him to explain the script, she spent the whole night with him, cooperating with him in every way possible.
The paths are all clear.
Today's dinner party was very emotionally valuable to her.
You definitely need to cherish a boss like this.
Yes, seize the opportunity!
...
The next day, Chen Jincheng didn't slack off and insisted on his morning exercise. However, the sweet girl who accompanied him during his exercise eventually ran out of energy and had to rest at the hotel that day.
However, while they were washing up together, Tian Meizi exclaimed in surprise: "Boss, the opening day box office of 'The Wandering Earth' is terrifying, it's too high."
Chen Jincheng wasn't surprised by the high box office of "The Wandering Earth," considering that in another world, "The Wandering Earth" only had 11% of screenings and still grossed nearly 2 million yuan on its opening day.
In this world, each cinema has allocated 35% of the box office to it, plus 50% of the screenings to Dawan, bringing the total average screening share to nearly 40%, which is more than three times that of the previous life.
Moreover, the quality of films in this world is even higher.
Moreover, in the other world, "The Wandering Earth" didn't have much buzz at the beginning; it relied entirely on word-of-mouth from its premiere to turn things around. This world is different. It had been promoted and hyped up long beforehand, making "The Wandering Earth" very popular. With that foundation already in place, the energy that the movie unleashed after its premiere was even more terrifying.
in the hotel.
Guo Fan heard an exclamation: "Including pre-sale tickets, the opening day box office is 9 million!"
"How much?" Guo Fan looked at Wu Jing's exaggerated expression and couldn't help but lean over to look at it several times before daring to confirm the data. Then he just grinned foolishly.
Even Chan Kam-ching himself was surprised by the box office results, as it was 5.5 million yuan higher than the 3.5 million yuan opening day box office of "The Wandering Earth 2".
This is yet another way he has changed the world.
"What about the box office of other movies?" Guo Fan's attention also turned to the other movies.
Wu Jing immediately checked and said, "Crazy Alien: 1.4 million, Pegasus: 2.6 million, The New King of Comedy: 1.8 million..."
Upon hearing these figures, Guo Fan could no longer hide his smile.
It's stable, completely stable.
However, the other movie stars and production companies were dumbfounded, and none of them looked happy.
Especially the producers of "Crazy Alien," whose film had a high production value and the presence of Huang Bo, a Best Actor winner, had high ambitions for the box office. Who knew it would turn out like this, ranking only fourth.
On the other hand, Han Han, who adapted the novel into a director, was all smiles when he learned about the box office performance of his film "Pegasus".
The box office on the first day exceeded his expectations, so why not compete for the box office champion?
But when I saw the box office figures for "Wandering Earth," I immediately stopped laughing.
The most shocked were Cha Chuanyi, Zhao Ge, and Ding Yuxi, after all, they had just heard yesterday that the movie would break 60 billion, and they couldn't believe it at the time.
But these were Chen Jincheng's words, so how could they dare to refute them?
Upon seeing this data, they were so shocked that their eyes widened in disbelief.
Is that really possible?
Many people online are also paying attention to the box office of "The Wandering Earth". When they saw the figure of 9 million, everyone was stunned.
This data is outrageous. You have to understand that even famous directors don't necessarily get this much box office revenue for a single film.
Moreover, many movies aim for 10 billion, and reaching 10 billion is already a cause for celebration and extensive publicity.
"The Wandering Earth" has almost reached 10 billion yuan in box office revenue in just one day, and even ordinary netizens are getting hooked.
After getting carried away, some film industry experts tried to rationally analyze the box office data, but the more they analyzed, the more excited they became. Chen Jincheng's endorsement, Second Generation Star, Dawan Cinemas, the first hard science fiction film…
It seems that this movie suddenly has an aura that is hard to understand, and it is only at this moment that everyone is facing these halos, which seems terrifying.
At the beginning, even with Chan Kam-ching's aggressive promotion and the release of the promotional trailer for "Wandering Blue Star," and even with a projected box office of 3 million, no one dared to imagine that the opening day's box office would reach that number; it was too terrifying.
Or rather, it's too outrageous.
Previously, some people online were predicting whether this movie could break 30 billion yuan. Now everyone can be sure that this movie will easily break 30 billion yuan.
Everyone realized one thing: Second Star Films had risen to the top of the film industry, and their film business was secure. This one film, *The Wandering Blue Star*, alone could surpass the combined output of many film companies. Therefore, something big was about to happen.
Tencent's pan-entertainment industry chain is no secret, and everyone is well aware of Tencent Pictures' ambitions. To achieve these ambitions, they have not only acquired novel websites, comic websites, and film and television companies, but also made a series of moves all centered around Tencent Pictures.
Now, before Tencent's ambitions have been realized, 21StarFilm.com has already taken a much longer step in a shorter period of time. This not only affects Tencent's vision for film and television, but also its pan-entertainment industry chain and its position in this circle.
Or rather, Tencent didn't expect that Dawan Cinemas would be sold. After all, the domestic film market is still doing well, and most cinema companies are profitable. There's no reason for them to be sold.
But now something unexpected has happened. So, next, Tencent Pictures wants to realize its ambitions and acquire a cinema company to put itself on the same level as Ershixing Films.
Before that, they had to do one more thing: block Ershixingchen Film and Television and prevent them from meeting the conditions for another TV series.
Moreover, this attack is different from the previous ones. In the past, even if Tencent Video lost, it wouldn't have a big impact, since their daily active users wouldn't drop.
However, if they fail to take down Second Star Films this time, it will be even more difficult for them to realize their ambitions as Second Star Films' position becomes more secure.
Especially now that Second Star Films is not only spending lavishly but also offering benefits to creators.
Therefore, a war that will change the landscape of the film and television industry is about to begin.
However, before that, everyone's attention was completely drawn to "The Wandering Earth". It was only then that everyone realized how insightful Chan Kam-ching was. You have to know that Chan Kam-ching faced skepticism from everyone, countless ridicule, and even threats of withdrawal of investment. He simply wanted to make China have its own hard science fiction film, and he invested a total of 6.5 million yuan.
With such a large investment, especially in a hard science fiction film that has never been invested in before, everyone was pessimistic, and some even claimed that the film would definitely lose money.
Now Chen Jincheng has given those who mocked him a good slap in the face. Not only will he break even, but he'll probably break even the very next day, and then he'll make a fortune. He'll not only earn from the movie's revenue sharing, but also from Dawan Cinemas.
They'll make so much money they'll be sick of it.
I want to know, do those companies that withdrew their investment from "The Wandering Earth" regret it now?
This news topic became a trending topic the next day.
Several companies expressed that they were in a bad mood.
sorry.
I really regret it.
They didn't know this movie was so good; they would have been foolish to withdraw their investment if they had known.
With the first day's box office results released, the screening schedule naturally changed. Dawan Films stopped showing the film altogether and increased its screenings by 5%, bringing its total screenings to 55%.
This was taken from "Crazy Alien".
Actually, they wanted to give it more screen time, but they couldn't. Considering their reputation and other factors, they had to give screen time to the other four films that grossed over 4 million yuan on their opening day.
Of course, it wasn't just Dawan Cinemas that stopped showing the film; other cinema chains like Dadi Cinemas also stopped showing it, following Dawan Cinemas' lead and allocating 55% of their screenings to "The Wandering Earth."
Little broken ball, let's pick up money together!
Then, other movies were also affected, starting with "Crazy Alien". The movie did not meet audience expectations and its screenings were reduced, which had a significant impact.
The main reason is that the movie's pre-release publicity was too high-profile, clearly aiming for the championship. After all, with director Ning Hao, award-winning actor Huang Bo, Shen Teng, and Xu Zheng, it's not surprising that they had an air of "I am the only one who can do it".
This turned out to be quite awkward.
The screening schedule for "Pegasus" was also affected, but the box office on the second day was still decent, and reaching over 10 billion yuan should not be a problem.
However, when Chan Kam-ching saw the box office figures for "The New King of Comedy" on its second day, he discovered that the film, like something out of another world, experienced a precipitous drop in box office revenue, leaving everyone astonished.
He was well aware that even if many people were tricked into going to the theater on the first day, the word-of-mouth would be absolutely terrible, like something out of another world, and it would basically be a three-day wonder. Now he was just trying to scam as much box office revenue as possible.
Then the production company probably panicked just like in the previous life, and came up with marketing tactics like "You won't understand this big movie" and "Today's audiences are too bad, they can't understand movies with profound meanings," which aroused public resentment and sent the movie straight into the trash can.
And indeed, the very next day, such marketing appeared, faster than another world. But the screenings of "The New King of Comedy" were a disaster, with each film's screenings being cut in half and given to "The Wandering Earth".
It can be said that these films were greatly affected, and Chan Kam-ching has a special feeling about this.
This means that he single-handedly suppressed these box office figures, making them even lower than in another world.
It's just that I can't share this sense of accomplishment with anyone else.
While "The Wandering Earth" didn't reach the same box office height on its second day as it did on its opening day, it still managed to reach 6 million yuan, even without the boost from pre-sales.
But these figures are absolutely terrifying; the new box office forecast is out: 75 billion.
That's right, the final box office prediction for this movie is 75 billion.
Moreover, everyone understands that this is the first time a film has achieved such box office success in China. Once it surpasses 50 billion yuan, given the nature of Chinese audiences, it will surely break through 75 billion yuan.
Now, people are more concerned about how much money Chan Kam-ching can make if "The Wandering Earth" achieves this level of box office success.
Upon closer inspection, everyone was astonished.
In this situation, Chen Jincheng received a very unexpected phone call: a collaboration opportunity had come knocking on his door.
He never imagined such a good thing would happen.
This is an honor delivered to our doorstep.
