Headquarters of Locke Corporation.

Chris is sipping coffee while reading Eugenie Grandet.

"Master Wang Huan is really amazing, this is a great work, and it portrays ugly human nature to the fullest. It is even a metaphor for many characters in reality, which is incredible. ”

He admired and studied carefully.

At this time, there was a sharp knock on the door.

Chris turned it off and said, "Please come in." ”

The secretary pushed open the door of the office, and as soon as he entered the door, he said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Chris, the theater situation that you asked me to pay close attention to has already had a certain result. Just now I received an amazing message. According to the feedback from the theater manager, for some reason, the attendance rate of "This Man is from Earth" suddenly soared today. Attendance is conservatively estimated at more than 50%. And the moviegoers are basically all Europeans and Americans. ”

Boom!

Chris slapped the desk on the desk, and then stood up suddenly: "Immediately start the plan I told you before, especially the matter of keeping an eye on Pete, you must be careful not to let the other party do things behind your back." In addition, let all its theaters start to promote the trailer of "This Man is from Earth", and prepare for a large-scale release tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. ”

"Okay. ”

The secretary nodded in agreement and left immediately.

Chris looked at the secretary's back, and his heart began to ripple: "It is worthy of Master Wang Huan." There is a saying in Huaxia that is right: Brother Xinhuan, you will have eternal life. A movie that hits the streets in China can reopen the situation in North America, and this miracle is probably not possible for anyone except Master Wang Huan. ”

But the next moment, his eyes began to sharpen: "Pete, you never know why I will be a fan of Master Wang Huan, so, you lost ......"

this day.

Just after midnight.

Chris got the box office data of "This Man is from Earth" for the first time.

350 Cinemas –

Intra-day box office: $1.16 million.

Attendance: 51.4%.

When he saw this data, Chris's heart was suffocated.

"Rotten Tomatoes, yes! Look what Europeans and Americans say about this movie!"

Chris suppressed his heartbeat, and immediately opened the Rotten Tomatoes website and came to the evaluation page of "This Man is from Earth".

Positive rating: 98%.

Number of evaluators: 12,000.

Scroll down the page, and dense netizen comments come into view.

"I never thought of being shocked by a Chinese movie. ”

"I'll admit, I didn't understand it at first, but as long as you stick with it, you'll find that it's a masterpiece. ”

"Best of the year, I think it's better than any movie that's out now. ”

"Religion, Life, Life...... When this is presented to you, how do you choose? This movie is worth pondering. ”

"Chinese movies, but they express the connotation of Westerners. ”

"Once again, I was amazed by Master Wang Huan, who built a world that you can't imagine. ”

Praise, almost all praise.

And everyone admits that they were shaken by this movie.

Chris carefully clicked on the homepage of dozens of commentators, and found that these people are basically authentic Europeans and Americans, and the proportion of Orientals is very small.

What makes his heart beat even more is that many of these audiences who give praise are extremely demanding moviegoers, who have always had the most vicious attitude towards movies, and there are very few movies that can make them give good reviews. However, at this moment, these people, without exception, have given praise to "This Man is from Earth".

Incredible!

Chris's heart was beating faster and faster, and there was an uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.

From this rating and today's attendance.

Perhaps the potential of this movie far exceeds his imagination?

Originally, Chris thought that this movie would eventually have a box office of 20 or 30 million, but now it seems that the final box office may far exceed his estimates.

He pondered for a while, and dialed the secretary's phone again: "Tell the theater to increase the schedule of "This Man from Earth" tomorrow to 15% of our theaters." ”

The secretary was stunned: "Mr. Chris, tomorrow's film schedule has already been decided." ”

Chris said in a deep voice: "Then change it again, I just want the result!"

He trusted his own judgment, and it was because of this keen business instinct that he built the vast entertainment empire he is today.

……

February 1.

On this day, the number of theaters in which "This Man is from Earth" was screened rose from more than 300 to more than 600, and the film schedule was as high as 15.1% in Loren's theaters, almost tripling compared to the previous day. The film schedule accounts for 3.5% of the country.

With such a huge proportion of films, it can be squeezed into several movies that are now being screened in North American theaters. Therefore, when the film schedule was announced, it immediately attracted the attention of countless media and insiders in North America.

Countless people thought that Chris was crazy and dared to give such a high ranking to a Chinese movie.

However, just after zero o'clock.

Box office released:

"This Man is from Earth" grossed $3.27 million on the same day, with an attendance rate of 56.3%.

The horrific attendance was suffocating.

What is particularly stunning: with only 3.5% of the film schedule in the entire theater chain, it surpassed the box office of the hit movie "Powerpuffer" that accounted for 16.4% of the film schedule, ranking third in the single-day box office list in the United States.

The whole America is shaken!

It was only at this time that the eyes of the whole of North America finally turned their attention to this movie.

February 2nd.

Chris ordered all of his theaters to start screening "This Man is from Earth", with a high proportion of 27.8%, accounting for 6.1% of the national film schedule.

this day.

"This Man from Earth" won $5.09 million at the box office, equivalent to 35.47 million yuan. Attendance was 60.4%.

The single-day box office rose to the second place in the national charts, just over $1.8 million behind the first place.

Everyone was stunned by this statistic.

The media were dumbfounded.

This is a result that no one expected, even if Wang Huan became a world piano master, these media reporters have never been so silent. Everyone stared at the box office blankly, and even thought they were in a dream.

When will a Chinese movie also be able to make it to the North American box office single-day charts?

What's even more trembling is that at the moment, the film schedule of this movie is only 6.1%!

And it has an impressive attendance rate of 60.4%.

What does this mean?

It means that it still has great potential that has not been tapped!

Lose your marbles!

Everyone is completely insane!

Of course, what is even crazier is the other theaters in the United States, and it is already obvious at the moment that the box office of "This Man from Earth" will definitely soar all the way up. With such a good money-making opportunity, how could other theaters miss it?

Countless people began to frantically call Wang Huan and Chen Hui to seek cooperation.

Of course, Wang Huan will not refuse these opportunities to be sent to the door, and he will agree to all the North American theaters that come to cooperate with him. And there is no lion opening his mouth to let the other party give up more benefits. Because this is a great opportunity to build a good relationship with major North American theater chains. He's looking for a long-term collaboration, not just this film.

It's one o'clock in the morning.

North America will announce the latest film schedule.

"This Man is from Earth" has soared from 6.1% to 18.5% in the United States, and will be released simultaneously in more than 4,000 theaters across the United States on February 3.
