Chapter 68: First day box office
Chapter 68: First day box office
They left each other business cards and contact information, and a few people took the initiative to say goodbye.
In the blink of an eye, only Li Zhenyu, Yin Huina and Qiao Mei were left in the screening room.
Despite the strange looks from others, Qiao Mei's "business ability" was impeccable and she was forced to stay.
No wonder she can always get roles that others can't get.
Even if you have a background, you have to work hard enough to seize the opportunities given by others.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many prodigal sons.
"Song Hye, Qiao Xi, is there anything else?"
"Hey, I would like to ask PD Li to teach me some acting skills, about the big screen..."
Over the years, Song Hye Kyo has achieved achievements in TV dramas that are difficult for others to achieve in their lifetime.
This kind of achievement breeds new ambitions.
Impact on the big screen...
She wants to transform from a national goddess to a big screen goddess, to appear on the screen, and then to the world.
Hollywood is a place of pilgrimage in the hearts of all filmmakers.
Even if you are as unruly as Little Plum, you will eventually have to succumb to the authority of the masters.
Song Hye Kyo wants to go to Hollywood and enjoy the admiration of people from all over the world.
South Korea is really too small.
"We are going to have a celebration banquet, shall we?"
Li Zhenyu invited her, how could the gentle and innocent girl next door refuse.
"convenient?"
"Of course." Li Zhenyu smiled: "Who can refuse Song Hye Kyo?"
The celebration dinner for the crew of "New World" was arranged at MoroMikuSi Izakaya in Apgujeong-dong.
When Song Hye Kyo appeared with him, the scene immediately burst into jubilation.
The boss, who was preparing exquisite cuisine, personally announced, "I will pay for today's consumption."
"Kang Sang Mi Da." Song Hye Kyo shyly bowed to the president to thank her. A sweet smile is the best gift.
"Ah~ really..." The president covered his heart with his hand and fell back with an exaggerated expression.
It felt like he was going to die for her in the next second.
"Dafa, Song Hye Kyo, Unnie, can you sign your autograph for me?"
IU was the first to run over, holding a pen and paper with admiring eyes, looking like a little fan girl.
"IU, right?" Song Hye Kyo obviously did her homework.
After receiving the notice, she conducted a detailed investigation into Zy+.
All public information about artists and trainees is remembered in her mind.
"Hey, Ernie actually knows my name, I'm so happy... Ernie, I really like you, I really do."
"Cool Cat Smecta (daily gratitude for small things makes you more kind)."
"Unnie, can you sign your autograph for me too?" Han Suxi trotted forward, getting ahead of the others.
Being able to be looked after by seniors in the entertainment industry is naturally a great blessing.
But the next second, she was bumped to the side with her buttocks.
Li Zhubin took her place with a bright smile and said in the most cordial tone: "Unnie, I love you so much, Sarah Hei."
Smiling and nodding, Song Hye Kyo signed her name in the book coolly.
There is also a beautiful blessing: I hope your dreams will come true as soon as possible.
As for the little sisterly rivalry between Li Zhubin and Han Suxi, she was not interested.
This kind of open and covert fighting between girls is really too low-end.
?Obviously, she is not interested in low-end games...
"Okay, let's put the welcome and signatures later. Now... first of all, we want to toast to the successful conclusion of the New World Premiere."
"Oh~" cheers resounded throughout the audience.
Song Hye Kyo also sat down next to him, as for the person who originally sat in this position.
I am happy to give way to my muse and feel honored to do so.
"Is that okay?" Li Zhenyu shook the grain wine in his hand. He still liked this more than Jinlu.
"Indeed." Song Hye Kyo held the cup with both hands, nodded modestly and asked him to fill it up for her.
There is a big contrast between Qiao Mei's drinking capacity and her appearance.
It has to be said that the outside world has a huge error in their understanding of her. The innocent national goddess did not behave so innocently at the reception.
At least, the fingers rubbing against her thighs have nothing to do with purity.
The atmosphere at the dinner was very lively and everyone was having a great time.
And I feel relaxed from the bottom of my heart, because I can have three days of vacation during the Spring Festival.
In fact, the Spring Festival is not an important holiday.
In South Korea, people pay more attention to Western festivals such as Halloween and Christmas.
Because this will make you appear more advanced, closer to the advanced world, freer, more... superior to others, and no longer a small person in a corner.
It is really impossible to understand the worldview caused by the mutual distortion of inferiority and arrogance.
If he had to figure it out, Li Zhenyu was worried that his head would collapse.
"Oppa, can I have a small drink?" IU appeared out of nowhere, stretched her head in front of him, and begged pitifully.
Smiling gently, IU also smiled happily. Seeing him smiling so happily, IU would definitely agree.
But the next second, all IU's illusions were shattered.
"No." Li Zhenyu cruelly rejected her with the gentlest expression.
The little girl's pouty face, full of collagen, immediately puffed up into a bun.
The cute look made Li Zhenyu couldn't help but reach out and pinch it.
"Pfft~" IU burst into laughter and stamped her feet angrily: "Oppa~"
"Hahaha, our IU is so cute, so cute!"
Li Zhenyu laughed heartily after rubbing her head.
The next day, Li Zhenyu woke up on a large bed made of Tempur-Pedic mattresses.
Alone...
Last night, Qiao Mei gave him some hints, and Li Zhenyu did not resist spending the night with her.
But obviously, there is still a little bit of atmosphere between the two.
Communication is more enjoyable when it comes naturally. There is no need to rush some things.
After precipitation, the fragrance will be more mellow.
Moreover, Li Zhenyu is full of confidence in "New World".
...
On the day of the premiere of "The New World," the entire company was nervous.
Everyone is guessing what kind of results the film will achieve on the first day. Some people speculate that the number of viewers will reach 50,000, while others think it will be 100,000.
Some people boldly predict that the number of moviegoers will exceed 200,000.
However, no one has the courage to express their deepest worries.
If it fails at the box office, Zy+'s upward momentum will be seriously frustrated.
All artists will be affected, including the administrative staff and outsourcing agencies that provide services to them.
As a vested interest, everyone hopes that "New World" can achieve impressive results.
This expectation was revealed at twelve o'clock in the evening.
In the CJ Statistics Department, white-collar workers in suits and ties come and go.
"Have the box office statistics of Samseung-dong been calculated?"
"It's being counted, it'll be ready soon."
"Hey, why are you so slow?"
"Based on the box office statistics in Busan, there were 52,000 moviegoers."
"Yes." Sun Jingzhi punched hard, not hiding his inner joy.
On a single day, the box office in Busan reached 52,000 people.
Based on his past experience, the number of moviegoers nationwide in a single day should be 200,000
What this number represents is clear to everyone present.
Staring at the dozen phones on the table, the final result will be revealed within half an hour.
If nothing else happens, the number of visitors will definitely exceed 200,000.
"According to Daegu area box office statistics, the number of moviegoers was 38,000."
"Gwangju...the number of moviegoers was 47,000."
"Daejeon...13,000 people."
All statistical results are summarized.
After simple calculations, the statistician gave the final answer.
"The number of moviegoers on the first day was 331,000, and the total box office was 4.6 billion yuan."
"Ai Gu~ I really made the right bet this time!"
Sun Jingzhi put his hands on his hips and looked at the staff present with a happy smile.
"No one is allowed to leave. I'll treat everyone to a nice... steak tonight, ah!"
"Nei, Kang Sang Mida, President Ni."
The employees cheered up and expressed their gratitude to him.
Even if I am half exhausted, I just want to get home as soon as possible and have a good sleep.
However, no one will express resistance at this time.
How can you refuse the president's invitation?
"Ah, I almost forgot." Sun Jingzhi said, took out his mobile phone and walked out.
"Zhenyu, ah, the box office statistics are out, ah ~ you will never guess the first day's box office..."
"400,000?" Li Zhenyu on the other end of the phone was lying on the carpet enjoying Sun Yinzhu's yoga performance.
400,000 moviegoers were his estimate of the number of moviegoers on the first day.
The violent theme, the best actor, all the talented actors, and the various scandals about him and the crew should be able to arouse the interest of more people.
"Ah, you are more greedy than the chaebol." Sun Kyung-sik couldn't help complaining.
400,000 moviegoers, who does he think he is, an Oscar-winning director?
"How much?" Li Zhenyu didn't bother to guess anymore. He really couldn't spare the time right now.
It would be better for Sun Kyung-sik to tell him the answer directly.
It was learned that the number of moviegoers on the first day was 331,000, with a total box office of 4.6 billion yuan.
Li Zhenyu didn't have any special thoughts in his heart.
4.6 billion, oh, okay, that's it...
"That's it?" Sun Jingzhi was a little confused.
Just like this...just like this...
How could he have the nerve to say it? Shouldn't he be excited and yell to vent his anger?
"Three inches, I am confident in my abilities."
Li Zhenyu's tone was so confident that it made people feel conceited.
"Hey, you guy...it's rare for you to be happy, can't you cooperate?"
"Inside~"
"4.6 billion, is it true, Aigu, three inches, we want to beep..."
The call was rudely hung up. Li Zhenyu glanced at the screen and complained speechlessly: "Hey, you hung up the phone casually again. This person should really learn to be polite."
Throwing the phone aside, Li Zhenyu patted Sun Yinzhu's head and said, "Yinzhu, you have to work hard quickly. Otherwise, you will soon be left behind by your peers and you will never see their shadow again."
"Nei, President Xi, I will definitely work harder."
For her, the most important effort she needs to make is to satisfy the president.
Whether it is "Good Day", which made IU famous, or "New World", which took in 4.6 billion box office on its first day, or Sung Min, who won the runner-up and has a moderately successful career.
These are all created by him.
Sun Yinzhu believes that as long as she can satisfy him, she will definitely have her own opportunities.
Becoming an instant hit didn't seem to be difficult in his hands.
