Chapter 300: Box Office and Dawn

"Director Huang, it's out, it's out, the box office is out!"

"How much does "The Grandmaster" gross?"

"Twenty million!"

"Yes, yes! Good job! Good job! ”

Huang Jiacheng has been staying in the office, smoking one cigarette after another, and the smoke is filled, making the whole office like a fairy mirror. Eight Chinese Net

The floor was covered with cigarette butts and shells.

Advance tickets for "The Grandmaster" were very popular, with an overall attendance rate of 93 percent nationwide, another high point in his career so far.

The box office will definitely not be too bad, and even today is very likely to be the day that breaks the history of the box office of Chinese movies!

However, Huang Jiacheng has always been uneasy, he watched various movie reviews on the Internet over and over again, watched "The Grandmaster" gradually rise from 8.7 to 9.1 on Douban, and watched the number of reviews exceed 20,000 in just over ten hours......

The box office has not yet come out, everything is unknown, everything is variable!

April 11 at four o'clock in the morning.

There was finally a knock on the door outside the silent office.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Jiacheng stood up from the chair suddenly, he saw the assistant rushing up excitedly with the box office data, his eyes were ruddy, and the moment he handed him the data report, the assistant cried on the spot.

Huang Jiacheng threw away the cigarette in his mouth, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and took the report.

When he saw the box office on the premiere day of "The Grandmaster", even though he had already made many movies, his hands were still shaking with excitement.

Calm down!

Be sure to calm down!

This is all to be expected.

He kept reminding himself in his heart, but after all, he couldn't suppress the excitement and kept nodding his head.

"Director Huang! Record-breaking, record-breaking, we have broken the record of Chinese movies, our movies are not inferior to any old American movies! The assistant kept screaming while wiping away tears, and even though the choking smoke made him cough constantly, he still gasped desperately and shouted.

"Yes, it's broken, it's broken!"

Huang Jiacheng gasped in his chest, put down the data, and then looked at the sky in the distance.

The darkness before dawn is always cold and hopeless.

Just like on that day more than 100 years ago, the Western powers opened the country with artillery and signed the "Treaty of Nanjing".

The rulers who were immersed in the dream of the Celestial Empire did not wake up because of this, but still enjoyed the gifts of power given to them.

After that, he failed again and again, compromised again and again, and retreated again and again, but instead of peace, he was exchanged for more ferocious encroachment, and finally lost power and humiliated the country.

Those more than 100 years were an unbearable and humiliating time.

But after the darkness, the dawn finally comes, and the light of dawn shines brightly, dispelling the coldness and despair, and rejuvenating with vitality!

"Dawn is coming!"

In the distance, the sky revealed a trace of fish belly white.

Huang Jiacheng muttered to himself!

………………………

"The Grandmaster" has a box office of 20 million!

"Interstellar" is 12 million!

"Full City Golden Armor" eight million!

"Struggle" seven million!

"Jin Yiwei" painted 300,000 ...... before the painting

"Cyborg" is under the first 200,000 ......

On the morning of April 11.

When the box office data was officially released on the Internet, countless filmmakers were shocked to see the box office in disbelief.

A year ago!

Hollywood blockbusters are almost like aircraft carriers in the minds of all filmmakers.

Often after a Hollywood blockbuster confirms the last schedule, the producers and directors who first get the news have tried all kinds of ways to change gears, interpreting what it means to be frightened!

This was the case when "Superman" was released, and it was the same when "Jurassic" was released......

Even when "Interstellar" was released, many people were persuading Zhou Yilin not to be stupid and not to be in the same file as this kind of "Monster"!

In the early days, this was indeed the case, "Full City Golden Armor" was indeed beaten hard by "Interstellar", and the box office was a big disappointment.

In everyone's exclamations, the Hollywood blockbuster "Interstellar" was ferocious at the overseas box office, and it has sharpened its knives and even pointed at the movie "Jurassic" from the same period, which is sharp!

However......

With the release of "Struggle", the Chinese market, which should have been slaughtered and suppressed everything, showed a posture of being besieged, and the box office not only did not usher in the expected explosion, but even the popularity of the film industry was once robbed by "Struggle", and even the box office with "Golden Armor" began to pick up.

"Struggle" and "Full City of Golden Armor", the two films fought against "Interstellar" tenaciously, competing for the box office and popularity, although they were strong, they still couldn't stop the fierce offensive of "Interstellar".

With the premiere of "The Grandmaster", this situation began to gradually change, under the siege of three films, the popularity of "Interstellar" was completely suppressed, although the box office is still good, but for such a high investment in "Interstellar", it has been a complete failure in the Chinese market......

"This is a major victory for Huaxia films!"

"In the history of Chinese films, there has never been a scene where three movies hit Hollywood blockbusters at the same time!"

“……”

On Weibo, the famous painter Qilin wrote this line excitedly, and then, on this line of words, another picture was added.

In the picture, a descending tiger is majestic and majestic, and not far away, there are three wild wolves, although the size is not as good as the tiger, but the fangs are out, the eyes are red, and the tiger staring at the descending tiger viciously, as if declaring sovereignty!

As soon as this Weibo was released, there were countless comments below, and countless netizens joined in, especially when it was accompanied by the high-pitched and explosive voice of Zhou Yang in the song "Men Should Be Self-reliant", which made all the filmmakers enthusiastic, they screamed, and they couldn't wait to clench their fists and smash them into Hollywood, so that they knew what a hot-blooded man was.

"Times have changed!"

In the Huaxia movie post bar, after someone sent out the box office data, he sighed with a long sigh.

…………………………

On the morning of April 11.

Relevant departments.

Zhang Jianguo excitedly came out of the leader's office, which was the biggest project he had done since he took office, and it was also the most successful project.

After returning to his office, he picked up the box office data and the next day's advance tickets again, and looked at them carefully, only to feel extremely happy.

"Knock knock!"

"Come in!"

"Secretary An, what's wrong?"

"The movie "The Grandmaster", as a kung fu film exported overseas by China, has been released in North America, and on April 15, some areas have been opened for pre-sale!"

"Okay, how's the pre-sale results?"

"It has surpassed "Hero" and broken the new history of Chinese films!"

"So good?" Zhang Jianguo was in disbelief when he heard the news.

"Yes, Huo Yuanjie and Donnie Yen, as Chinese kung fu superstars, have a certain appeal in North America, and Zhou Yang ......" An Xiao glanced down at the investigation information, and his expression suddenly felt a little weird.

"What's wrong?"

"Zhou Yang is very popular among the black community, many black girls regard Zhou Yang as a hero, and they are so fanatical that they can't do it, and Councilor Olson even crazily recommends "The Grandmaster" on social platforms......"

"Ahem......" When Zhang Jianguo heard this, he coughed slightly: "How is "Struggle" in Laomei? ”

"It's still a restricted release...... An Xiao hesitated for a while, and then looked at Zhang Jianguo: "Zhang Ke, what is the current situation of Zhou Yang's "I Am Not the God of Medicine"? The script has been announced, why was it temporarily taken down? ”

Zhang Jianguo, who was originally full of smiles on his face, was slightly stunned when he heard the script of "I Am Not the God of Medicine", and then fell into a short silence: "During the publicity period, an old leader immediately decided to withdraw after reading the script......

"What do you mean by leaders?"

"In July, several old leaders want to retire peacefully, in fact, the script of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" is too shocking, and the old leaders can't stand it after reading it...... In short, "I Am Not the God of Medicine" is still being discussed in a meeting......" Zhang Jianguo hesitated for a while, and then was helpless.

"Will you be promoted in July?" An Xiao was silent for a long time, and then looked at Zhang Jianguo.

"I don't know...... It depends on the meaning of the above. ”

…………………………

Huaxing.

Zhou Yang received the news that the script review of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" was sent back.

An Xiao specially told Zhou Yang on the phone not to shoot "I Am Not the God of Medicine" to participate in overseas exhibitions without permission like "Mine Bottom", the relevant departments are now the time for the change, and many things that cannot be seen clearly are turbulent, and said that the script of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" can be approved, but it may have to wait a little longer.

Zhou Yang also regretted it in his heart, but he also expressed his understanding.

"I Am Not the God of Medicine" in the original world, if it were not for the official background, such a script would not have been reviewed at all.

When the leaders of this world are changing, many leaders are very cautious about the script of this movie.

Just after Zhou Yang answered the phone, his mobile phone rang.

"Hello? Huang Dao? ”

"What are you doing?"

"Huh? In the office. ”

"Come down, I'll ...... downstairs in your company"

"Huh? Do? ”

"Celebration feast! I'll come and pick you up in person, you have to give this face, right? ”

"Forehead ......"

April is definitely the highlight of Huang Jiacheng.

"The Grandmaster" has achieved such an amazing premiere result, with Huang Jiacheng's attitude, it is natural to invite friends to have a celebration banquet.

The celebration banquet was set at the Yanjing International Hotel, and everyone in the crew received an invitation letter from Huang Jiacheng, and many well-known media in the mainland, Hong Kong Island and Taiwan Island were invited.

Zhou Yang is a great hero in the entire "Grandmaster", and Huang Jiacheng specially drove over to pick up Zhou Yang.

After Zhou Yang answered the phone, he walked downstairs and got into Huang Jiacheng's car under the siege of countless reporters.

Along the way, Huang Jiacheng's voice was very excited, spitting stars and talking about his next plan, and even said the words "Hong Kong Island Movie" revival.

Zhou Yang had been listening carefully to the side, nodding from time to time.

But......

When Huang Jiacheng received a phone call, his originally excited expression instantly froze, and then became extremely gloomy.

"Director Huang, what's wrong?" After noticing Huang Jiacheng's expression, Zhou Yang subconsciously asked.

"Donnie Yen and Huo Yuanjie scolded......"

"Huh?"

Along the way, Huang Jiacheng stopped talking more.

When the two of them walked to the Yanjing International Hotel, Zhou Yang saw countless reporters holding cameras, swarming around the entire building like chicken blood, and Huang Jiacheng's assistant rushed over with an anxious face: "Director Huang, it's not good, the two are fighting inside!" ”

Continue with two more

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
