At the end of the movie, Zuo Mu personally played the taxi driver and said that:

"You're going to come back and pay, aren't you?"

The heroine starts her horror cruise again.

The movie ends.

Toms's face turned red and he was short of breath, and the moment the movie ended, he rushed out of the theater and yelled at the conductor, "Give me another ticket for Horror Cruise!" ”

The conductor looked at the excited Toms a little overwhelmed...

"I'm sorry sir, our theater won't be showing "Horror Cruise" today, and it will continue to be painted tomorrow."

It's not just Thomas who wants to see it again.

The major theaters in Xiangjiang were also frightened by the surging crowd.

They had never tried that so many people asked for a re-release of a movie.

As soon as the moviegoers left the theater, they flocked to the box office again, and after learning that the next screening would be tomorrow morning, everyone demanded that it be re-screened now.

Unable to withstand the pressure of the crowd, many movie theaters reopened their tickets for another screening.

It's still full.

Zuo Mu in the dream didn't know how terrifying the dominance of "Horror Cruise", which was born five years early.

In the morning, Zuo Mu was woken up by a phone call.

picked it up in a daze, and Zou Wenhuai's excited voice came from the other end: "Director Zuo, did you hear the magpie call?!" ”

"What magpie is called?" Zuo Mu rubbed his eyes, I don't know why.

"Guess how much it was at the box office at midnight last night?"

Listening to Zou Wenhuai's tone, the results should be good.

"Five million?" Tentatively quoting numbers that few people can't even think of.

Zuo Mu is very confident in "Horror Cruise", in his previous life, this drama won 15 million US dollars at the box office when it was released in Europe and the United States alone, and was named a masterpiece by countless suspense film lovers.

In this life, with the promotion regardless of the cost, Zuo Mu does not think that the box office will be low.

"Hahaha, Director Zuo is really a hero, just last night's midnight show, 7.67 million!"

Zuo Mu hurriedly looked at his watch, it was only seven o'clock, that is to say, from the release at 0:00 last night to the present, "Horror Cruise" won the box office of 7.67 million in less than seven hours.

A bit unexpected.

Fifteen hours later, the box office results of the first day came out, a number that Zou Wenhuai couldn't even think of, 29.86 million.

Zou Wenhuai in the office paused for nearly half a minute after listening to the employee report this number, and then let out a long sigh.

The explosion of "Horror Cruise" is obvious to all, and as long as there are screenings of "Horror Cruise" in major theaters, they are full.

[Oriental Daily] even bluntly said that "Horror Cruise" is a "Xiangjiang miracle".

Zhang Bozhi has not stopped interviewing since the release of "Horror Cruise", and the headlines of the entertainment section in the past few days are basically about her.

What no one expected was that the release of "Horror Cruise" deeply affected the two industries in Hong Kong.

Within days of the release of "Horror Cruise", the stock price of Xiangjiang's taxi company soared by 50%.

Many people don't ask for the few dollars of change after taking a taxi, and the satisfaction with taxi service has skyrocketed.

Another thing that has been deeply affected is the cruise industry, and the Lido Cruise Company, which leased the filming venue "Supermini" to Zuo Mu, was panicked by citizens in just a few days.

On the first day of the movie's release, the stock of Lido Cruises fell for a time.

More than ninety percent of the citizens who purchased the cruise asked for a refund.

I heard that the general manager of Lido Cruises was looking for Zuo Mu everywhere with a knife.

Similar to the Ding Crab Effect, the media has dubbed this the "Horror Cruise" effect.

On November 7, according to a person familiar with the matter, the box office of "Horror Cruise" was 112 million in the first week.

Then the news was confirmed by Golden Harvest, but the numbers were somewhat different, not 112 million, but 131 million.

Then, the media went crazy, the Xiangjiang film industry also went crazy, and the stock of Zuoji Industrial Group was directly up and down.

The local box office exceeded 100 million, which can no longer be described as phenomenal.

Some media said that this record will not be broken by any more Xiangjiang movies in the future.

Zhang Bozhi, who has not stopped for two days, has once again become the focus.

Major media have given him the title of "100 million girls".

The first heroine in Xiangjiang to break 100 million at the local box office.

Although "Horror Cruise" is a movie with a plot greater than the actors, Zhang Bozhi's excellent performance still adds a lot of points to the movie.

Xie Tingfeng and Xuan Xuan, who starred in the role, also gained a lot of attention, and for a while, the entire crew of "Horror Cruise" was in the limelight, except for one person.

The powerful Xiangjiang paparazzi searched everywhere and couldn't find any trace of Zuo Mu.

This little-known rookie director seems to have disappeared out of thin air after handing over an answer sheet that shocked Xiangjiang.

At this time, Zuo Mu had already gone to Guangdong Province with Zou Wenhuai.

"131 million in the first week." Zou Wenhuai put down the phone.

"It's not bad, I thought it was only 120 million." Zuo Mu was concentrating on dealing with the pig's trotters in front of him.

After all, suspense thrillers have the problem of not having enough stamina.

But what makes "Horror Cruise" different is that it has a charm that does not belong to the suspense thrillers of this period.

There are many "repeat customers" in it, and many of the 131 million people have not only watched it once, but more often than two or three times.

Zou Wenhuai smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He knew yesterday that he couldn't calm down for a long time after the local box office broke 100 million, but Zuo Mu should eat and sleep like a nobody.

In fact, after the box office came out on the first day, Zou Wenhuai had already begun to prepare for the celebration banquet, and years of experience told him that this movie would inevitably break the records of many Xiangjiang movies, but he really didn't expect it to be so terrifying.

Yes, he can only use the word "horror" to describe the film.

But two days ago, this teenager dragged himself to the mainland.

It's hard to imagine that this handsome teenager in front of him will be the initiator of the first Hong Kong local box office movie that broke 100 million yuan.

"Boss Zou, come on?" Zuo Mu pushed a pig's trotter in front of Zou Wenhuai.

"Old, you can't eat something so greasy." Zou Wenhuai pushed back with a smile.

Zuo Mu didn't say anything, and after the wind and clouds finished solving the remaining pig's trotters, he wiped his hands and said, "I've been shopping for two days, I don't know what Zou Lao thinks of the mainland film market?" ”

Zou Wenhuai paused for a moment and stared at the young man.

"The future is limitless." Zou Wenhuai said six words.

These six words are the evaluation of all Hong Kong filmmakers on the mainland film market.

After entering the millennium, Xiangjiang filmmakers understood that the market in Xiangjiang was saturated, this "Oriental Hollywood" had a population of only 7 million, and the market was already so large, coupled with the influx of well-made special effects blockbusters, it was impossible for Xiangjiang films to bloom as brilliant as in the 80s and 90s.

The untapped mainland market has become a lifesaver for all Heung Kong Film companies.

His original strategy was to enter the mainland, but he was cheated by the "Spy Maze", and the company almost went bankrupt, and the plan had to be stopped.
