Chapter 775 Premiere Box Office on
(Thanks to my friend Violet ~ Qianqian's encouragement)
Delicious dinner for everyone to be satisfied. After the meal, I tasted the tea brewed by Professor Lille, the new Nobel laureate, which is also a unique charm.
"I really envy you, maybe only you can enjoy the tea made by Professor Lille himself." Brock said with a smile after taking a sip of tea and tasting it.
Professor Lille's current status is also a national treasure, although the number of Nobel Prize winners in the United States is the largest of any country, but that is also limited.
"Hmph, Professor Lille has scavenged all the good tea I have here, and I have to beg him to drink it if I want to drink it now." Liu Yunxuan snorted lightly and pretended to be angry.
Now Professor Lille's most precious thing is his research topic and the tea in the pasture. Not to mention those tea trees, he has already declared sovereignty, and it is almost the same. The tea leaves in the current space are obviously more delicious, and Liu Yunxuan can only drink them secretly, because all the tea leaves outside are controlled by Professor Lille.
"Kroenke, Ann, why are you here? Don't tell me in advance, so you can wait for you to eat together. Everyone was chatting, when they saw Kroenke and his wife Ann walking in together, and Liu Yunxuan hurriedly got up to greet him.
"Is the movie premiering today, I also want to watch it with Angela, but I can't determine the time at the time." Kroenke said with a smile.
"Grandpa Beard, what do you want to eat? I'm sorry Uncle Edward. Hearing Kroenke say this, Xiao Fangfang's eyes narrowed into a slit with joy, and said happily.
The little guy is very happy today, because everyone knows that there is a prototype of her in this movie, and they have to praise her a few words, which makes her so beautiful that she is bubbling all of a sudden.
Kroenke was not polite, and ordered a few of Edward's signature dishes for him and his wife, all of which they usually loved.
Although it is a zero point field. They didn't stay in the ranch long either, and set out for town at ten o'clock in the evening.
"Andy, how is it, now the outside world has a high evaluation of the film you invested in, is there any hope of achieving a good result at the premiere box office?" Kroenke asked with a smile after arriving at the screening room.
"If you want to say that you don't care about it, it's fake, and in order to be able to release it globally simultaneously this time. We also spend a lot. The main creators were even more busy, and even Pakarina flew back and forth to follow the publicity. Liu Yunxuan nodded and said.
The world premiere is not as simple as talking, and the publicity is also in place. Otherwise, the premiere results are not satisfactory, and it will be a slap in the face.
"You too, Lambert brought the cinema when he was so old." Ann looked at Xiao Afu, who was looking around, and interjected with a smile.
"It can't be helped, now Lambert is starting to clingy to people, and if he can't find us, he will cry non-stop. Now I have to play with him every night for a while, and he will go to bed obediently. Michelle shook Xiao Afu's arm and said after greeting the people nearby.
Now Xiao Ah Fu is also a little star, and his popularity in Palm Springs Town is also very high. Especially the cowboys in the ranch, what they like to see the most is Ah Fu riding his exclusive car, the big turtle.
"Little Andy. I had to make the premiere so late that my old man couldn't sleep properly. Principal Finch walked over from behind and said with a little anger.
Now he also pays attention to health, after all, he is older, so he pays more attention to this aspect. But it's rare that today is the day of the movie premiere, so he has to sleep late.
"Principal Finch, how about three foie gras tomorrow?" Liu Yunxuan looked at Principal Finch and said with a smile.
"Ok, deal." Principal Finch replied so briskly that everyone on the side couldn't help but laugh.
Now everyone also knows that Principal Finch's favorite delicacy is the foie gras from Liu Yunxuan's ranch. Although Liu Yunxuan will also arrange for someone to send some over regularly, he still asks Liu Yunxuan to blackmail him from time to time.
Originally, everyone was still coaxing and wanted Liu Yunxuan to say a few words before the movie opened. But he didn't do it, and asked the staff at the cinema to make up another bucket of popcorn for everyone and the people watching in other screening halls before he bought them.
As the film began to be screened, everyone's attention was also focused on the film. In fact, everyone has seen many scenes in the movie when they were filmed, but they didn't expect these scenes to be so attractive after editing.
Especially the extras who have a role in the movie, after seeing their characters appear, their little eyes are round. I also poke my friends around me from time to time to remind me.
After watching the 120-minute movie, everyone didn't feel any dullness. Even Principal Finch, who came over to join in the fun, watched it with relish.
Needless to say, the old drama bones in the film, the little cute baby Pakarina's performance is also in place. Just like Fangfang in life, with a hint of naughtiness, she is so sensible. Especially at the end of the credits. Thinking that Travolta cried so pitifully when the plane exploded with the plane, Fang Fang burst into tears.
Although it is a big change from the real situation at that time, the little guy also recalls the scene at that time. She also knew that at that time, she went to negotiate with the bad guys in order to save herself, and in the end, she was blown up by a car and was seriously injured.
When the whole film ended and the lights were turned on in the screening hall, everyone followed Liu Yunxuan to say goodbye. Although they don't know much about this industry, they have experienced it firsthand whether the film can attract people's interest.
From their point of view, at least Liu Yunxuan and they will not lose money, it is just a matter of earning more and earning less.
"Andy, was the flame really that fast?" Kroenke asked curiously after coming out of the cinema.
"Yes, there were a few times when I was filming because the car was driving slowly and was overtaken by flames." Liu Yunxuan said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, now I have more confidence in the children of the flames." Kroenke said happily.
"Hehe, you're just waiting to see the Water Girl's performance this year." Liu Yunxuan said proudly.
This year, the water girl will be able to meet the participation standard at her age, and she will not be able to come back with some championships when the time comes. He had now built one after the vehicle that Mansour had used to transport horses, as a special motorhome for the Water Maiden.
It was late in the day, and everyone went to sleep when they got back to the ranch. However, Liu Yunxuan is not so good, although it is foreseeable that the box office should not be bad, he is always worried about it.
He didn't sleep well, and neither did Lao Wu and his gang, and they rushed to Liu Yunxuan's ranch early during the daytime the next day. After waiting to meet, I saw that everyone had big dark circles under their eyes, and they all laughed when they looked at each other for a while.
"Lao Wu, how do you estimate our box office?" After laughing for a while, Liu Yunxuan asked with a smile.
"It's not hard to say now, it mainly depends on the box office in North America and our country." John Wu said after lighting a cigar.
Because of the time difference, the premiere in Huaxia has not yet started. And there is almost a whole day here in North America, and the box office is really hard to say now.
"Hehe, I guess you should have some experience in this area." Liu Yunxuan said instigatingly.
"This time, we have cooperated with a lot of theaters in North America, and I have a hunch that the box office in North America should not be a problem to exceed $20 million on the first day." Wu Yusen said confidently.
"And what about the domestic side?" Liu Yunxuan asked again.
"It's not a good estimate in China, but it should be more than 60 million." Wu Yusen said after pondering for a moment.
His estimated box office in North America is still roughly estimated based on the number of moviegoers in the first premiere, and he doesn't have a detailed number in China yet, and he doesn't dare to say too much.
The waiting time is always tormenting, except for the little cute baby Pakarina who had a lot of fun with Fangfang and Xiaodoudou all day, Liu Yunxuan and they all belong to the series of food that does not know the taste.
After a lot of suffering, I finally waited until the early hours of the morning, and now the first-day box office in North America is also counted. Comrade Lao Wu and Travolta were busy, and kept recording the numbers on the phone, but the more they answered, the happier they became, and even the people watching on the side opened their mouths when they looked at the numbers in the small book.
"Andy, congratulations!" Kroenke, who had been staying here, said with a smile.
"Hehe, this is only the first-day box office, and it is not certain that the follow-up will not be effective." Liu Yunxuan said modestly, saying that, the corners of his mouth were very wide.
"Hey, all the hard work for so long has not been in vain." After Lao Wu carefully calculated the recorded figures several times, he listed the entire box office number in a small book.
The first-day box office of $35.82 million in North America is very good at the beginning of 2014, and it is also much beyond John Woo's original estimate. Tomorrow is the sixth day, and there will be no fewer people watching the movie in the cinema, and the box office in the first week will not be bad at that time.
"Hey, it seems that I can finally get a good night's sleep now, and when I wait for noon tomorrow, the domestic box office can also be counted, and it is estimated that it should be about the same." Liu Yunxuan said happily.
"Yun Xuan, do we need to make a phone call to inform Mansour?" Wu Yusen asked excitedly.
"He? Forget it. Liu Yunxuan shook his head, "Do you think he has the heart to care about this?" ”
Wu Yusen thought about it, let alone 35.82 million US dollars, if you turn it over again, Mansour will not necessarily take it to heart.
People didn't invest in this movie to make money in the first place, they just wanted to leave a thought for Xiao Fangfang in the future. Waiting for Xiao Fangfang to grow up in the future, she can still reminisce when she is fine.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep, don't bother me tomorrow, I'm going to sleep until I wake up naturally, I hope I will lose money and count my hands to cramps when I wake up." Liu Yunxuan waved his hand and said.
He had been suffering for the past two days, but now that he could finally sleep peacefully, he decided to get a full night's sleep. (To be continued......)
