Chapter 1007 1006, Cold Faces

Yau Ma Tei Cinema

When Yang Hao drove Liu Yifei, Gao Yuanyuan and Nini to this place, there was already a long queue at the cinema, from the door to the sidewalk on the street.

The reason why it was so spectacular was because there was a banner hanging above the door of the Yau Ma Tei Cinema with words on it.

[At the beginning of the year, Yang Hao invited me to watch "The Wandering Earth 1" for free. Now that "The Wandering Earth 2" is here, I think I should pay him back for the movie ticket I owe him. ]

The banner was pulled up quite large, and the moviegoers on the street saw it. Nini, Gao Yuanyuan and Liu Yifei also saw it, so they turned to Yang Hao who was sitting in the driving seat and said, "Brother, did you also plan this marketing event?"

"No!"

"Then who is it? It's very well arranged. At the beginning of the year, Samsung Group invited everyone to watch a movie. Now, everyone has returned this favor to "The Wandering Earth 2."

"I don't know who it is.

After all, there are so many capable people in this world."

"Brother, shall we go in? You know, we are here to promote the movie." Nini asked while sitting in the car.

"I'm not going in."

Yang Hao smiled and shook his head, and the Range Rover drove onto the main road of the city.

"Didn't you say you were here to promote the movie?" Liu Yifei was curious.

"Yes, I'm here to promote the movie." Yang Hao smiled.

"But after I saw the banner, I realized that it would be better for me not to show up. If I don't show up, I can quickly hype up the news."

"How?" Nini asked curiously.

"You'll know when I get home."

At 8 o'clock in the evening on October 1, 2014, "The Wandering Earth 2" held a grand premiere ceremony in Beijing. Except for the film director Yang Hao, all the other main creators were there, including the eldest brother Qin Long.

The leaders were Han Shanye, chairman of China Film Group, and Yu Dong, the boss of Bona Film Group.

Han Shanye was a little excited.

At the premiere, he spoke for 5 minutes, focusing on the fact that director Yang Hao had social phobia and didn't like to appear in lively occasions, so he didn't come.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on Yang Hao, because he did not avoid the premiere, but he had never attended the premiere of his own movie after making so many movies.

Well, what is this called? This is called perseverance!

"Haha..."

Perhaps Han Shanye's teasing of Yang Hao was funny, which immediately attracted everyone's laughter.

After the premiere, Han Shanye and Yu Dong sat in the cinema screening room with everyone and watched "The Wandering Earth 2" together.

To be honest, even though he had watched this movie before, Han Shanye still felt very shocked, the space elevator, the country's new stealth fighter J-20...

Compared to Han Shanye's sensibility, Yu Dong, the president of Bona Film Group, was much more rational. Although he was sitting in the screening room, he was staring at his mobile phone.

"Dongzi, how much is the box office?"

The person who asked this question was Han Shanye.

Although the premiere of "The Wandering Earth 2" has just ended, in fact, this movie has been released worldwide since last night.

The reason for this is that due to the time difference, it is impossible for everyone to screen at the same time.

"Hmm..."

Yu Dong hesitated a little and didn't know how to say it, and at this time, Han Shanye asked again.

"Dongzi, tell me, I can hold on. "The Wandering Earth 2" has been screened for a day. How much is its box office?"

"Hmm... 38.1614 million US dollars!"

Yu Dong gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and gave an accurate information.

"Isn't this good? According to this trend, even if Yang Hao doesn't do anything small, the total box office of this movie is likely to exceed 1 billion US dollars."

"But the overall net profit of "The Wandering Earth 1" is higher than 1 billion US dollars?!"

One is the overall net profit, and the other is just the total box office. The gap between the two is huge. It can also be said that if you want a movie's net profit to be higher than 1 billion US dollars, then the total box office of this movie should be higher than 3 billion US dollars.

And the only movie that has achieved this achievement before is "Avatar".

"Eh..."

Seeing that Yu Dong was complaining, Han Shanye sighed secretly.

"Dongzi, let's be honest. How was the filming of "The Wandering Earth"? I mean the first and second parts."

"Good, very good.

Basically, this movie has reached the level of Hollywood's first-line science fiction blockbusters. Even if it is not as good as "Avatar", it can still win or lose compared with "The Matrix."

"Since you think it is good, what is there to regret? The reason why Yang Hao promoted the first part when it was released was that he was afraid that the foreign film market would not recognize our domestic level.

Now, due to the popularity of the first part of "The Wandering Earth", many foreign colleagues have seen our strength.

Therefore, the second part will adopt the normal screening mode, hold a premiere, and hold a roadshow..."

"But our income is low?!"

Before Han Shanye finished speaking, Yu Dong made a helpless expression.

"Boss Han, I'm not complaining. It's because two hours before our movie was released, many domestic and foreign manufacturers called me and said they were willing to buy the copyright and distribution rights of "The Wandering Earth 2" and screen it for free worldwide.

However, after I passed this information to Yang Hao, Yang Hao refused without a second thought. Even when South Korea's LG raised the price to 1.25 billion US dollars, he still refused."

…

Just when Han Shanye and Yu Dong were arguing, the various media reporters who came to attend the premiere of "The Wandering Earth 2" were also paying attention to the news on the Internet.

This is the first time that a domestic hard science fiction movie has set out to Hollywood, the United States, to prove itself in the world's most science fiction film market.

It didn't take long, about half an hour, for this group of media reporters to receive text messages with similar content one after another.

[The science fiction blockbuster "The Wandering Earth 2", directed by the famous mainland film director Yang Hao, officially started screening at 8 o'clock last night.

As of this time, the first-day box office of this movie worldwide has just been released, which is 38.1614 million US dollars. 】

【This is the best result achieved by mainland director Yang Hao in the North American film market. Previously, The Wandering Earth 1 was screened for free worldwide..."】

【For your information, the first-day box office of Curse of the Golden Flower in the North American film market was 6 million US dollars, The Flowers of War was 320,000 US dollars, 1942 was 310,000 US dollars, and Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate was 170,000 US dollars...】
