Chapter 152 Shock, Reaction
"2.67 million in box office revenue, that's so much!!"
"Is this for real?!"
Liu Yulan spoke with great emotion, unable to remain calm any longer.
The box office on the first day has already recouped half of the cost, and as long as the word-of-mouth doesn't collapse, it's hard to imagine how much the final box office will be.
She had done a lot of research on box office figures and was well aware of the huge potential of "Hello Mr. Billionaire".
The key point is that Lanco Studios has a stake in this.
How can we not excite Liu Yulan!
Zhang Ruonan and Xu Jing were not much better off.
Hearing about the huge box office figures was quite a shock to the two of them.
At present, Zhang Ruonan and Xu Jing are just ordinary people, so they are naturally dumbfounded when faced with this huge number.
"Mom, these box office figures are real!"
Chen Jingyuan confirmed again, remaining quite calm about the data.
The original box office of "Hello Mr. Billionaire" was 2.27 million yuan, and this promotion has made it even more successful.
Given that it's a rare May Day holiday, such opening day box office results are quite normal.
"Get this message out there immediately!"
Liu Yulan snapped out of her daze and quickly spread the message.
However, just as she posted hers, Bai Lu followed suit and released her results.
Bai Lu was on a promotional tour with the "Hello Mr. Billionaire" film crew, so she probably learned about the box office results around the same time as Liu Yulan.
[Hello Mr. Billionaire's box office reaches 2.67 million yuan!!!]
I was very excited to see Bailu send this message.
Bai Lu is about to experience a surge in popularity!
As the female lead in "Hello Mr. Billionaire," the higher the box office, the more beneficial it will be for her.
Especially in the film industry, where she has a high status and box office success, Bai Lu always gets a seat in the front row when attending ceremonies.
In the chat group, Chen Keke and others sent messages to express their congratulations.
The crew of "The Story of Minglan"
Since the production has only been running for a few days, many characters are still getting used to each other.
Chen Keke has relatively more free time, as today is the premiere of "Hello Mr. Billionaire".
She had been waiting for the premiere results for a long time, and when the results came out, she couldn't contain herself.
"yeah!!"
"It's a success!!"
Chen Keke was extremely excited; the premiere was a resounding success.
According to previous calculations, if the box office exceeds two billion, the entire Ranco Studios could earn more than one hundred million.
"Coco, what are you cheering for!?"
Just then, Zhao Liying opened the door and asked with a curious expression.
It turned out that the two lived next door. Zhao Liying was just about to wash up and go to bed when she heard Chen Keke's voice.
"Sister Zhao, the opening day box office figures for 'Hello Mr. Billionaire' are in!"
"2.67 million!"
Chen Keke didn't hide anything from Zhao Liying, saying that their relationship was progressing very quickly.
You can tell from the fact that Zhao Liying walked into the room without knocking.
"Such high box office on the opening day!"
Zhao Liying exclaimed in surprise, her words carrying a distinctly complex tone.
The reason is simple: the current box office of 2.67 million has a high probability of exceeding 2 billion.
Her best film to date has only grossed a little over a billion.
It's "Duckweed," which was released not long ago in January of this year.
Needless to say, he had acted in many movies before, but the box office results were mediocre.
After reaching a peak in the television drama field, actresses inevitably turn to movies.
Unfortunately, the 85 Flowers did not achieve much success in film.
Bai Lu's debut film grossed over 2 billion yuan, far exceeding the total box office of all the films she has starred in.
It's inevitable that Zhao Liying's situation is a bit complicated; her luck is just too good.
No, I should say that President Chen has an excellent eye for talent!
The "Hello Mr. Billionaire" project was likely planned by President Chen.
Without President Chen's support, Lan Ke Studio certainly wouldn't have dared to take the lead on this project.
Just as Zhao Liying was going through a complicated time, many well-informed people in the industry received the news one after another.
Jiaxing
Because of her connection with Chen Jingyuan, Zeng Jia paid close attention to this film.
The reason why Yang Mi didn't personally pay attention is mainly because she went abroad to North America to attend the Metropolitan Museum of Art charity gala these past few days.
In addition, there was a scheduling conflict with the overseas promotion of the movie "Reset".
"2.67 million!"
"This box office is way too much."
Zeng Jia murmured in shock, but immediately sent messages to Yang Mi, Dilraba, and others.
Based on the investment percentage of Lanco Studio, the profit is enough to reach hundreds of millions.
The revenue from one film is equivalent to about a year's profit for Jaywalk Studio.
"Please congratulate me for me!"
"Continue to maintain a good relationship with President Chen."
"We could consider communicating more with Lanco Studio."
...
Yang Mi replied to the message within two minutes; it was morning in North America at that moment.
Yang Mi was clearly not calm after seeing the message.
This result is truly astonishing!
Previously, Jaywalk Studio had prepared some film projects, but the box office results were not very good.
Although I made money, it wasn't as much as I had imagined.
She even took a pay cut to participate in many films; otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to make a profit.
The crew of "The Flame's Daughter"
Dilraba also received the message from Jaywalk Studio, and her expression was somewhat complicated.
Chen Jingyuan had previously asked if I needed help arranging some resources.
Including movie resources and the like, but she declined because her schedule was too full.
I still feel a little bit of regret!
Dilraba's previous film, "Pride and Prejudice," only grossed 1.24 million yuan, which is probably not even a fraction of the box office of "Hello Mr. Billionaire."
Many celebrities who know about the box office performance of "Hello Mr. Billionaire" are envious.
"The opening day box office of 'Hello Mr. Billionaire' was so amazing!?"
"It's a complete crushing victory; this is probably headed for 20 billion in box office revenue."
"Bai Lu's first movie was such a success, making her a leading lady at a 20 billion yuan box office!?"
...
Many celebrities want to establish themselves in the film industry, but none of them have succeeded.
On the contrary, Bai Lu is just a movie, so how can it satisfy the inner feelings of so many celebrities?
However, no matter what, Bai Lu is not someone without a background.
Even if many celebrities are jealous, they wouldn't dare to do anything underhanded.
at the same time!
After his initial excitement over the first day's box office results, Chen Jingyuan returned to his hotel room.
Not long after, I received a call from Chen Wu.
"Jingyuan, thank you so much this time!"
Chen Wu called specifically to express his gratitude because Tencent Pictures invested in "Hello Mr. Billionaire".
Although I initially agreed to the film because of Chen Jingyuan, I never expected that the movie "Hello Mr. Billionaire" would become such a hit.
Tencent Pictures got a great deal, and its performance this year has been quite good.
"Mr. Chen, we'll need your help with the promotion from now on."
Chen Jingyuan smiled and said, without mentioning the matter further.
Anyway, half of the share belongs to Tencent, and Tencent Pictures gets all the profits, so he might get a bigger bonus.
Bringing Tencent Pictures along means you've built a personal connection.
"Don't worry, I've already arranged for more publicity."
Without hesitation, Chen Wu replied, "Tomato Billionaire is clearly going to take the world by storm, so we definitely need to add fuel to the fire."
The two chatted briefly before stopping, but Chen Jingyuan learned some news from Chen Wu.
The opening day box office figures for "This Is Not What I Expected," which was released at the same time as "Hello Mr. Billionaire," have also been released.
The box office on the first day was about 2700 million, which is about ten times less than that of "Hello Mr. Billionaire".
Completely crushed!
Chen Jingyuan was not surprised by the result, and the score was already better than before.
If the box office was originally 10 million less than it is now, it's all because of the effect of the publicity stunt.
From a cost perspective, there is still hope of recovering the costs.
However, Yu Yongfu is unlikely to be satisfied with these results.
Even if they recoup their costs, it's still unacceptable to suffer such a crushing defeat against Tencent Pictures.
Previously, the two internet giants had been locked in fierce competition across various fields.
As a result, they were completely outmatched in the film industry, and Alibaba Group is certainly not satisfied with Yu Yongfu.
Even Jack Ma might have a lot of opinions, as this disastrous failure in the film industry has had a significant impact on the reputation of the entire Alibaba Group.
This is the consequence of staged accidents!
Although box office revenue has indeed increased significantly, Yu Yongfu cannot afford the problems that have arisen.
Alibaba Pictures
Yu Yongfu was somewhat silent at this moment.
When he first learned about the opening day box office of "This Is Not What I Expected," he thought it was pretty good.
With a box office of 2700 million yuan on its opening day, this is a pretty good result compared to other films invested in by Alibaba Pictures.
However, when the box office figures for "Hello Mr. Billionaire" came in, he was dumbfounded.
Yu Yongfu isn't stupid; he knows he's in trouble!
Such a large gap has a significant impact on Alibaba Group's reputation, which cannot be compensated for by a box office of 100 or 200 million.
Next, we'll see if the group headquarters can show him some leniency and give him some face.
Just as the box office results for "Hello Mr. Billionaire" on its opening day began to spread.
With the help of Tencent's promotional channels, related trending topics have begun to appear on the trending list.
# 2.67 million!
# Box office of "Hello Mr. Billionaire"
#Alibaba Pictures suffers a crushing defeat
...
These trending topics quickly attracted the attention of many netizens.
The competition between the two internet giants in the film industry was already quite heated.
Seeing the trending topic, many netizens came in to see what the subsequent reactions were.
"The box office of 'Hello Mr. Billionaire' is a huge hit."
"It seems there are many viewers. Can someone share their thoughts?"
"If it's good, I'll buy tickets and go see it tomorrow."
"Alibaba Pictures has really bitten off more than they can chew this time, and the most crucial thing is that they took the initiative."
...
Many netizens are discussing it, and it's quite a lively discussion.
They belong to the type who enjoy watching the excitement and don't mind if things get out of hand.
Many people even tagged Teacher Ma, wanting to see his opinion.
However, some netizens who watched "I Like You" tried to salvage the situation.
"This Is Not What I Expected" is of decent quality, but it was overshadowed by "Hello Mr. Billionaire".
Previously, some clips from "Hello Mr. Billionaire" were released, which piqued the interest of many people who don't usually watch movies.
It's especially suitable for families going out to see a movie, so it has a wider appeal!
"This Is Not What I Expected" is more suitable for couples to watch, because the outcome was actually predetermined from the very beginning.
