Chapter 110: Box Office Crush

After coming out of the theater, Xiao Yunhai drove back home.

At this time, a big upsurge has been set off on the Huaxia network.

The editors-in-chief of some magazines who went to the premiere of "2012" took pictures of the directors watching the film, and put the video of Mu Gaofeng's speech on the Internet, which immediately caused an unprecedented sensation in China.

"Damn it, no, am I wrong. There will be so many retired chiefs going to the platform for the release of "2012"."

"Emperor Yun is so arrogant. This kind of premiere is simply unprecedented, wouldn't it be P's?"

"It's a joke upstairs. Even if you give those online magazines ten nerves, they don't dare to do it."

"Listen to Mr. Mu's speech, all of which are praises for Emperor Yun, and even he said that "2012" is the most shocking movie he has ever seen, I really can't believe how wonderful the movie will be. ."

"Originally, I thought the ticket price of "2012" was too expensive, and I didn't want to watch it. But now that even the head of the government is full of praise, I should watch it. I can't just let "2012" just because of these two hundred dollars. "Slip away quietly."

"Damn it. Everyone, go and watch the new video. God, whether it's a star, a director or a film critic, they all gave '2012' a 10. It's terrifying."

Netizens quickly found the entertainment website and watched more than ten videos above, all of which were interviewed by celebrities and film critics.

After watching it, netizens couldn't take it anymore.

"No, I must watch "2012" tomorrow."

"That's right. Even the most severe five-star film critic, Teacher Zhu, gave him full marks. Wouldn't it be a pity not to watch it.

"

At this time, the scores on the movie viewing network also appeared.

In the expert column, 73 film critics scored a record-breaking 9.87. In the movie fans column, 8,431 people gave it a score of 9.92.

No matter which one it is, it has broken the historical record of watching movies online.

"2012" is very popular in China, and it is very popular.

When Xiao Yunhai returned home, Zhao Wanqing was browsing various entertainment websites.

Seeing Xiao Yunhai coming back, Zhao Wanqing hurried up to meet him, hooked his neck, kissed him, and said, "Husband, you are really amazing."

Xiao Yunhai said triumphantly, "Of course, don't look at who I am?"

Zhao Wanqing said with a smile: "The Internet is now full of posts about "2012", especially the retired old chiefs hired by my grandfather, which has greatly raised fans' expectations for our "2012". The ratings are all above 9.8, which has never happened in the entire entertainment industry."

Xiao Yunhai said: "The first time 3D movies appeared, the shock it brought to everyone was naturally incomparably strong. We just took the first opportunity. It will become accustomed to it. At that time, let alone 200 yuan, even if it is 50 yuan, it will be good to go to the cinema. By the way, how about "Resident Evil"?"

Zhao Wanqing said: "It should be very bad in China. "Resident Evil" has been boycotted by movie fans like never before, and entertainment news said that their movie halls are too small."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Now that "2012" has become completely popular in China, I believe that the results of "Resident Evil" will only get worse. Wife, if we win $20 billion in the end, we can donate it directly. Forget it. This kind of ill-gotten wealth, we better not want it."

Zhao Wanqing nodded and said, "I think so too. If you want to tell me on the homepage now, it is also a promotion for the movie."

Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and said, "Alright."

Going online to his homepage, Xiao Yunhai posted a post on it.

"Dear brothers and sisters, "2012" finally met you today. Just read the reviews and found that everyone is very satisfied with this 3D movie, which makes me feel a deep joy and satisfaction, really Thank you so much for liking this movie."

"Everyone should know about the $20 billion bet between "2012" and "Resident Evil". I discussed it with my family leaders and decided that if we finally won $20 billion, we would donate all of them to help more people in need.

"That's all, thank you again."

As soon as Xiao Yunhai's post was published, the Internet immediately exploded.

"God, I read that right. Emperor Yun wants to donate 20 billion US dollars."

"This should be the largest donation in the world."

"Emperor Yun is so handsome, he really deserves to be my idol. If you say 20 billion, you don't want it, it's too arrogant."

"Take a good look upstairs. The premise is that Emperor Yun needs to win this game. I think it is more likely that he did this for publicity."

"It's an idiot upstairs. Anyone who has watched '2012' tonight will never think that Emperor Yun will lose."

"That's right. "2012" is the most shocking and moving film in the world so far, no one. Besides, even if this is a deliberate propaganda by the Emperor Yun, I am very happy. Everyone spends 20 billion yuan. U.S. dollars are used for charity, don’t we even reluctant to give up two hundred dollars?”

"Anyway, I'm definitely going to see "2012" tomorrow."

"I didn't say it, support Yun Huang, "2012" come on."

Countless netizens were shocked by Xiao Yunhai's donation of US$20 billion, and they all expressed that they would go to the cinema to support "2012", indirectly contributing to charity.

The next afternoon, Xiao Yunhai's "2012" premiered at the box office. The three thousand screens in China contributed 128 million US dollars. Except for the United States, Japan, and South Korea, the box office in other regions was 48 million US dollars. That is to say "2012" world premiere night box office was 176 million US dollars.

The word-of-mouth is even better. It can't be better. On the movie websites in all regions, the score has not dropped to 9.5 points.

And its opponent "Resident Evil" is also very powerful. The three premieres won 286 million US dollars worldwide, showing the momentum of "Battle of Aliens" that year. The reputation is also very good, basically around 9 points.

But the discerning eye knows that even though "Resident Evil" has doubled the box office of "2012", it has actually lost.

Because its average ticket price is 30 dollars, 286 million dollars is equivalent to more than 9 million people who have gone to the cinema to watch this movie.

The average ticket price for Xiao Yunhai's "2012" was US$65, and less than 3 million people watched the film.

What's more, the three major ticket warehouses in the United States, South Korea and Japan have not yet been released.

Paramount America Headquarters

Hanks looked at the financial table of "Resident Evil" and frowned tightly.

"It's unreasonable, Huaxia only contributed 21 million US dollars to us, which is really inconsistent with the status of the second in the world."

"Resident Evil" has a box office of 123 million in North America, 84 million in Europe, and 65 million in Asia, of which China only accounts for 21 million, which is simply a joke.

It's not that Hanks didn't know that the Chinese fans were very upset because "2012" could not be released in the United States, and expressed their desire to boycott "Resident Evil" on the Internet.

It's just because the time is too short, although Hanks has made some efforts, it is still a drop in the bucket under the collective condemnation of tens of millions of fans.

Despite the enormity of the problem, Hanks didn't feel that things were irreversible.

Because according to the previous practice, as long as the next publicity is good, the boycott of Huaxia fans should not last long.

But I didn't expect them to be so determined this time, which made Hanks a little unexpected.

Weaver said: "Well, Mr. Hanks, tonight, I will take the film and crew to China to promote, try to walk around their major cities, and then go to major TV stations to participate in some talk shows. "

Hanks nodded and said, "Alright. In fact, I'm not too worried about this matter. The most troublesome thing is the ticket price of "2012". It won over 4,000 screens in just three shows. $176 million. If you own $10,000, wouldn’t you be able to reach $1 billion in one day?”

Indeed, with eight games a day and a 50% attendance rate, "2012" is likely to exceed one billion dollars.

Thinking of this, Hanks shuddered.
