Just when Lu Lin and Wu Jing were concentrating on polishing the script, the mainland box office of "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" was also soaring.

Among them, a total of 668 million yuan was reported in the first 4 days of the release, and 721 million yuan was reported in the 7 days of the second week, which are all normal box office trends.

In the third week, because of the follow-up announcement and follow-up, there was no strong competition from opponents in the same period, the box office sales in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia were huge, and the "Hollywood Six" favored to introduce the North American market to boost the confidence of the Chinese people and many other favorable factors.

The box office of "Houyi Shooting the Sun" in the third week did not drop much, and it actually collected 537 million yuan. By this time, the cumulative box office had reached 1.926 billion yuan. And on the nineteenth day of release, the box office exceeded 2 billion, and it also became the Chinese mainland film market, the second film with a box office of more than 2 billion, and broke the record of "The Return of the Great Sage" breaking 2 billion in 31 days.

There is naturally no suspense in surpassing "The Return of the Great Sage", but there is no need to think about it for three billion. Because "Journey to the West" will be released ten days later, it will definitely take away a large number of audiences. Moreover, during the Spring Festival return period, the last ten days of the first month, plus the month of the key extension, it would be considered good luck to be able to make another four or five billion.

This point cannot be compared with the release of "The Return of the Great Sage", the latter is the first real Chinese 3D blockbuster in China, and there is no decent movie behind "The Return of the Great Sage".

But "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" is different, even though the special effects of the later "Journey to the West" are far inferior, but the box office appeal of Xing Ye is there, and it is the theme of Journey to the West, and the box office will not be too different from another time and space.

However, for the people of Longlin, Bona, and Guangxian, they are no longer important. The cumulative box office exceeds 2 billion, relying solely on the domestic market, the film has already paid off.

Not to mention that the total box office of Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia is not inferior to that of China, plus it is about to land in Europe, America and Australia, some people see the global total box office as high as one billion US dollars, and some people estimate it to be about 800 million. But either way, you've already made a fortune!

This must be celebrated, and there will be a big feast, the media, and those who have heads and faces in the circle must be invited.

Yu Dong and Wang Changtian were more concerned about this than Lu Lin, and the two went to North America, and together with Warner, held two premieres in Chinatown in the United States and Canada, and then nothing happened.

Because it premiered in Chinatown, there is no need to get subtitles and dubbing, and the publicity can be done in a few days. However, for European and American audiences, when it is released in mainstream theaters, it is necessary to add English dubbing, make copies, and publicize it on a large scale.

In these aspects, Yu Dong and Wang Changtian couldn't help, so they got up and returned to China, and they got the good news of "breaking 2 billion in 19 days".

For this kind of good thing, it must not be left behind in publicity, after all, fame is also a kind of strength. For example, Guo Fucheng, one of the four kings of Hong Kong, has always been controversial because he became famous too quickly, but after all these years, he is still the king.

In 90 years, Li Keqin, who was not as famous as Andy and others, failed to have such "luck", and he became a popular singer singing "Red Sun" in the minds of many audiences, which shows how important the "name" is!

"Director Lu, you are now the No. 1 director in China with a box office of more than 2 billion and one with a box office of 1.6 billion!" but Wang Changtian, who was in the same car, was saying compliments.

The celebration banquet was supported and organized by Huang Minfang of Bona, and several bigwigs waited for the time to be almost up, and they took a car from Longlin Pictures together.

Originally, they should have sat separately, but Wang Changtian took the initiative to take Lu Lin's Toyota Alpha, Yu Dong thought about it, and got into the car together. Song Ge happened to be on a business trip to Southeast Asia and was not in China.

"I can't say that, I haven't even won a decent domestic award, how dare I call it the first!" Lu Lin said modestly.

Yu Dong said: "Hey, don't worry, "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" will definitely win the award, if this is no longer possible, those people will be a bit excessive!"

Speaking of which, the box office of Lu Lin's three films has exceeded 6 billion, and he has not even won a decent award or a domestic award, which is a bit shabby.

However, "The Return of the Great Sage" was just emerging at the time, whether it was suppressing newcomers, or for other reasons, it didn't matter if there was no grand prize. "The Alliance of the Gods" is quite a pure popcorn movie, and it is understandable that it will not be awarded. But if this "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" is no longer available, then Lu Lin can declare his withdrawal from all domestic awards.

"Hey, the award is unacceptable, just let it be!" Lu Lin said with a smile.

Yu Dong laughed, "Oh, don't worry, you can definitely get it, with us!"

Wang Changtian also said: "Now there are many awards in China, all of which are lined up to share the fruits, and there are many big names who don't come!

Lu Lin smiled indifferently when he heard this, and didn't answer the words again. Because he doesn't really want the award anymore.

When he first entered the entertainment industry, he always fantasized that one day he could get the "best newcomer", so that the bigwigs in the circle could know that there was still a person like him in the circle, and it would be possible to get more opportunities. Now that I think about it, I often feel ridiculous, sad and lamentable!

The car soon arrived at the venue, and there were many guests, but there were no bigwigs, and the current attendees were all the main creative team and celebrity guests.

After a while, there began to be bigwig-level characters entering the market, including Han Dong of China Film, Ye Ning of Wanda Pictures, Zhang Zhao of Leshi Films, and Li Ming of Xiaoma Pentium. and the upstarts in the circle, Ahri Pictures and Penguin Pictures, also sent representatives to attend.

As for the representatives of other film and television companies, distribution companies, and cinema companies with weaker names, there are actually twenty or thirty of them. The celebration banquet of "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" is like the "martial arts conference" of the film industry.

The so-called visitors are all guests, although many of them are uninvited "evil guests". But people came to the door to send congratulatory gifts and congratulate them, and there was no reason to look out for them.

Fortunately, the banquet hall I chose was large enough, and I could arrange a few more tables. However, the flower basket placed at the door is too dense, and there is no place to put many of them.

Zhao Liying, who came out of the bathroom with Yaya, couldn't help but say, "Oh my God, why are so many people here all of a sudden?"

Yaya said: "Eighty percent wants to invest in Lu Dao's new film!"

Zhao Liying was surprised, "I see that many people on the Internet say that this type is not easy to shoot, but I didn't expect these people to be quite optimistic!"

Yaya sneered: "I guess it's to see Director Lu and want to get closer!"

Zhao Liying said: "Well, it should be, after all, we have already made three films in a row, and they are sold all over the world, how many years will it take us to make so much money!"

Yaya smiled: "Then I think you should not think about it, let's still film honestly, just earn more pay and receive some endorsements!"
