"Cheers!"
At nine o'clock in the evening, the Spring Festival Gala was playing on TV. The big round table in Old Zhang's living room was filled with people.
Apart from Zhang Fan's family, his aunt, aunt, and cousins were all present. Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate.
Zhang Fan's father never drank alcohol, and Zhang Fan was the eldest son of Zhang Fan's family. He directly toasted Zhang Fan's grandfather with his second glass."Grandpa, happy new year. You're healthy and old like a pine tree.”
"You're really my good grandson.”
The old man smiled with narrowed eyes. He then took out a few red packets from his pocket and handed the thickest one to Zhang Fan.
"Thank you, Grandpa." Zhang Fan said.
"Thank you, Grandpa." Li Xiaojing, her aunt's cousin, took the red packet and smiled happily.
"Grandpa, you're biased. It's only 100 yuan. We're your biological grandchildren.”
Zheng Xiangyun, Zhang Fan's eldest cousin, immediately shouted in dissatisfaction when he saw that there was only 100 yuan in Zhang Fan's red packet, while the red packet in Zhang Fan's hand was at least 1,000 yuan.
"Then if you have the ability, the child you give birth to in the future will also be surnamed Zhang.”Zhang Qi said with a smile.
It made sense.
Zheng Xiangyun was speechless. He suddenly stopped talking and muttered something.
After eating and drinking for a while, Zheng Xiangyun suddenly looked at Zhang Fan and chuckled.""Director, I heard that the investment for your movie this time has reached 150 million. Is that true?”
"I guess so."
"Wow! Brother, you're good. As your brother, I have to toast you. When you're rich in the future, don't forget me.”
Zheng Xiangyun poured Zhang Fan a glass of wine as he said,""When I heard that you sold the house Grandpa gave you, I was so anxious that I was afraid that you would be cheated. From the looks of it, you're doing quite well. You have more than 10 million yuan and are the executive director. You should earn 10% of the money, right? 20%？”
"Hey! I haven't been paid in my small factory for months. I'm just waiting for a sum of money to save my life. Lend me some money later. It's not too much, just a few million…Here, let me drink first.”
Zhang Fan was quite impatient as he placed his hand on his wine glass.
He looked over and spat out a few words indifferently.
"What right do you have?"
The attentive smile on Big Cousin's face froze.
……
The eldest cousin watched as his leaking body ran away.
It was already 10 pm.
Her aunt's family stayed behind to watch the New Year. The adults and children in the house all rushed out. The men each carried a box of fireworks. A total of nine cardboard boxes were placed outside the courtyard.
The daring Youngest Biao Sister was in charge of lighting the fire. After that,"Tong", dazzling fireworks shot into the sky and exploded into gorgeous flowers.
"Boom!"”
An explosion sounded, illuminating half the sky.
Sister Xiaobao shouted happily. The adults sat at the side smoking and chatting. The women gathered together to eat melon seeds and set up a Dragon Gate Array.
All of this was reflected in Zhang Fan's bright eyes.
The previous unpleasant episode did not affect him at all.
New Year!
I'm coming!
……
It was the first day of the new year.
The air was filled with a festive atmosphere.
The major shopping malls and cinemas were already packed with people.
The Spring Festival battle officially began. Swords and swords were unsheathed, and the killing began!
" Conquering the Stars ", which was released on the eve of the New Year, had a box office of 240 million yuan on its first day.
And early this morning, Chiyou and Conquer the Stars had started their close combat, announcing that their box office sales had exceeded 300 million, breaking the first day box office record in Chinese film history.
Following closely behind were " Journey to the West: The Kingdom of Women " and " Havoc in India ". Their first day box office earnings were 160 million and 102 million respectively. The other films did not exceed 100 million.
On this day, the box office of a Chinese movie broke 1.2 billion, breaking a new record for the box office of a Chinese movie in a single day!
It was worth mentioning that the two movies also achieved good box office sales in North America, reaching 17 million US dollars and 21.5 million US dollars respectively. The American audience preferred sci-fi films, and Conquering the Stars had the upper hand.
The next day, the fighting became even more intense. The various film and television publicity departments began to show their skills.
A large number of fake reviewers kept posting replies to disrupt the audience's attention. The reputation of their respective films had not really fermented, so the ordinary audience themselves did not know which movie to watch. They only bought tickets according to their feelings.
The gap between the box office earnings had widened!
" Chiyou " once again earned 300 million at the box office, while " Conquer the Stars " was affected by a large number of bad reviews, and the box office fell slightly. It closed at 220 million on the day, and the total box office was 680 million.
On the other hand, Star Master and Old Monster Xu's " Journey to the West: The Kingdom of Women " relied on word of mouth to increase its box office sales by a large margin. The box office sales in a single day exceeded 200 million. " Uproar in India " suffered a setback. The box office on the second day was cut in half.
On the third day, Conquer the Stars 'box office sales dropped by 40%, and it earned 130 million yuan in a single day. Chiyou's box office did not drop much, and it received 250 million yuan in a single day. The box office of Journey to the West: The Kingdom of Daughters rose by 210 million yuan. The reputation of "Uproar in India" had already been ruined. Its rating had fallen below 5.0, and it was worth 30 million per day.
" Light of Machine " and " Tiny Times 5 " were still in fifth and sixth place, with a cumulative box office of around 200 million.
After three days, the number of people watching the movie was already very high. The word of mouth had completely spread out. A large number of audience reviews and professional film critics appeared. Conquering the Stars 'box office fell again, directly falling below 100 million. The North American box office fell to 1.5 million USD per day, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes on the Internet was 47%...
This surprised even Zhang Fan, who had been paying close attention to this matter.
One had to know that Nine Cauldron Pictures was aiming for 2 billion domestic box office sales and 4 billion global box office sales.
However, based on the current trend, it would probably not even reach 1.3 billion yuan worldwide.
With an investment of 750 million yuan, the global box office sales were 1.3 billion yuan. It seemed to have doubled, but with a simple calculation, Nine Cauldron Pictures would lose at least 500 million yuan... because it would take about 2.2 billion yuan at the box office to recoup its losses.
This time, Nine Cauldron Pictures had lost even their pants!
In the next two days, although Chiyou's reputation was divided (fans said it was good, audience said it was bad), the box office sales remained above 200 million every day. The Wind and Cloud of the Heavenly Sea caught up from behind and was a group of dark horses that were neither too big nor too small."Journey to the West: The Kingdom of Daughters" sold emotions. With Wu Feifan's face, the total box office sales also broke 600 million.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Fan received a phone call from Song Gongming.
