Zhang Huli hung up the phone and said to Zhao Xi: "Xiaoxi, the box office in the first week has come out." ”

Hearing this, the others turned their heads to look at Zhang Huli.

"The world premiere at the same time, 20 million in the United States and Canada, 40 million in the Eastern Empire, and more than 30 million in other regions, nearly 100 million."

"Wow-hoo"

Screenwriter Shi Meiren excitedly hugged her boyfriend Liang Qingfeng, who is also a screenwriter, photographer Alan and post-editor Gail fist each other, and Zhao Xi also smiled and hugged Haven and Zhang Huli.

The box office has already paid back in the first week, and the rest of the box office is earned, and there is such a result in the first filming, how can it not make everyone like it.

After the mood calmed down a little, Zhao Xi asked Zhang Huli with some doubts: "Why is the domestic box office so weird?" ”

The box office of the United States and Canada, a big entertainment country, is only 20 million, and the other regions that can premiere on the same day add up to 30 million, but the domestic box office has already reached 40 million. Zhao Xi is not arrogant enough that he can be compared with the long-famous directors in the United States and Canada.

"In addition to President Zhao's propaganda bombardment without money, the most important thing is the thirty fans who came to the United States and Canada to participate in the test screening. Their head is very smart, and he started recording videos before he was on the machine in China, and the dynamics of thirty fans were recorded, and then released on the online platform. ”

"The scarf, sticker, and forum are all their recorded videos, and even the famous directors and stars they met before the test screening, this kind of close face-to-face contact with the big stars in the United States and Canada, and also took photos with them. There is also a video, which has already caused a heated discussion in China. I heard about that time. Eight of the top ten hot searches for scarves were occupied by them. ”

"After the preview screening, their film reviews made me blush even after reading them. It's really the ultimate compliment, if I don't know the situation, even if I read what they say, I will feel that if I don't watch this film, I will come to the world in vain. It's literally viral marketing, and I'm finally convinced of the phrase 'give me a pivot and I'll lift the earth'. These thirty fans must be Xiaoxi's die-hard fans, and the main selling points are the director and the film, and even Chu Xun was ignored by them. ”

Zhao Xi listened to Zhang Huli's explanation and then asked, "How is the public reputation?" ”

"The current score of Dianping is 9.6. According to our forecast, it should be between 8.5-8.8 by the end. Li Fangfang gave a data speculation.

Shi Meiren listened to the conversations of several people, and after they finished speaking, he interjected and asked a little anxiously: "Then do we have any hope of winning the prize?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the team looked at Zhao Xi in unison.

Zhao Xi received everyone's eager eyes, a little funny, and said: "We can all receive the box office data, I want to come to Steve's side sooner than us, not later than us, if Steve intends to give us an award." He'll look for me too. If he thinks that this movie is not suitable for the awards, we will have to work on our own. ”

Everyone looked at each other, they were all making movies for the first time, and they didn't know much about the twists and turns of the award operation. This is why they worked with Steve in the first place, not because they couldn't find investment, but because they needed Steve's network and ability to win prizes.

Just then the bell rang. Zhao Xi saw the caller ID, and muttered something in his heart. He picked up the phone: "Hi, Steve. Are you here to tell me the good news? Oh yes, I already know it, really? Okay, then I'll go to your place for a detailed discussion, well, yes, then go to your house in two days, and we'll talk about it in detail then. Okay, goodbye, and looking forward to seeing you in two days. ”

Zhao Xi hung up the phone, and couldn't help but be a little excited in his voice, "Steve called and asked me to go to his house in two days to talk about the award." ”

Calm as Zhang Huli couldn't help but clench his fist, Steve was going to give their film an award, they could just watch and learn, it was better for someone to lead the door than to scurry around like a headless fly.

After the box office came out in the first week, everyone's tense minds relaxed a lot, and knowing the good news brought by Steve, Shi Meiren couldn't help but say: "Let's go to the supermarket to buy vegetables, and each go to the kitchen to show their cooking skills. The one who makes it the most unpalatable should let everyone choose a gift. ”

Everyone laughed and agreed. Putting aside this remark, after Zhao Xi and Steve discussed, they decided to attack the Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Picture, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Best Music awards.

After the negotiation, Zhao Xi and the others continued to pay attention to the latest trend of the box office, after all, the box office is the best interpretation of a director's ability in the first work.

The box office in the second week did not fall but rose, with a box office of 130 million, and the Eastern Empire contributed 70 million. And the comments below Dianping.com illustrate the reason why the domestic box office is so high.

"Just because the director is from our country, and because she can find investment to shoot films in the United States and Canada, I'm sorry for myself if I don't go to the cinema to support her."

"Xiao Xi Fan, just these three words understand why I want to go to the cinema."

"I'm going to the United States and Canada to make movies, I can't help much, I still have the money to go to the cinema to watch a movie, I'm Xun, keep coming back!"

"I'm so heroic and handsome in a military uniform! It's so handsome that my face is bloody! ”

"Dr. Paul is not handsome, but he is very charming."

The box office momentum is good, which is a happy event for the Lego company and the Zhao Group, Steve has once again consolidated his position in Lego with this film, for the Zhao Group, as long as it is filmed by Zhao Xi, it must be supported regardless of the cost, who calls President Zhao a veritable sister control, but it is better to make money without losing money.

may also be God's help to Zhao Xi, during the broadcast of Zhao Xi's movie, the big productions in the United States and Canada were not broadcast, and other movies were either not comparable or horror and suspense films, compared with the two, of course, the "Heroic Epic" with the murderer and the fierce "Heroic Epic" is more popular.

When "Heroic Epic" was released in theaters, the box office had nearly 500 million, and the first movie had such a result, Zhao Xi's name once again swept the entertainment industry, not only in the domestic entertainment industry, but also in the entertainment industry in the United States and Canada. For a while, Zhao Xi was in the limelight. (To be continued......)
