Chapter 495: Recognition from the Chinese film director circle!

"40 million."

"Pre-sale box office 40 million."

At this moment, in the office of the boss of Jiaxing Media.

Yang Mi looked at the latest box office data coming from the computer screen.

Her beautiful eyes flowed, and her mouth opened slightly.

Her face was full of disbelief.

Trusting Lin Yu was one thing, but when the miracle really happened, the impact and shock it brought.

Still made Yang Mi feel a bit incredible.

"Your first movie is going to break 100 million; it’s really too amazing."

Yang Mi nodded solemnly, expressing her approval.

Da Da Mi Mi had been struggling in the circle for so many years.

But she had very few representative works that she could show off.

The highest rating was still when she was a child, guest-starring in Stephen Chow’s *Flirting Scholar*.

Looking at Lin Yu, the first animation he produced could reach this height; the starting point was really too different.

"I can't always eat soft rice."

"Sister Mi, don't you think so?"

Lin Yu gently pinched Da Da Mi Mi’s shoulder and said cheekily.

In fact, Lin Yu didn't expect the reaction to be so strong after the promotional video was released.

And the pre-sale box office was even more than in the previous life. That meant there was no problem with the target audience, and the box office would inevitably be high, not low.

"This box office wasn't faked by you, right?"

Yang Mi calmed down her emotions.

Suddenly a thought popped into her mind.

Data fraud is not a secret in the film and television circle; many films, in order to increase attendance and influence, increase publicity, and will buy ticket stubs themselves to frantically brush the box office.

Sometimes when booking tickets online, it is clearly full, but when you arrive at the cinema, you find that it is an empty field. This kind of bloody and strange operation is a common method for filmmakers, which is not strange.

"If I had that capital strength, would I still need to borrow money from you?"

Lin Yu shook his head with a bitter smile and self-deprecation.

"That’s true."

"In that case, wouldn't it be able to break even soon?"

Yang Mi said with some joy.

She invested 70 million; if the film’s box office exceeds 200 million, then it will definitely break even.

After that, it’s all net profit.

According to this trend, breaking 200 million at the box office should not be a problem.

At the same time.

The pre-sale box office of *Ne Zha* also shocked the directors and producers in the circle.

The guarantee of expected box office either has top-tier stars or industry big shots sitting in town.

Like *Ne Zha*, a domestic animation.

Being able to achieve such results is simply unprecedented.

The films *The Captain* and *My People, My Country* released in the same period also conducted pre-sale box office, but only had about 5 million in box office revenue.

This gap is simply worlds apart!

The directors who were originally lurking were also discussing it in the group.

"Is this Xiao Lin’s debut? It looks pretty good! The pre-sale is a good start."

Chen Chen Kaige did not spare any praise and talked eloquently.

When filming *The Battle at Lake Changjin* before, Chen Chen Kaige had a very good impression of Lin Yu. He didn't expect Lin Yu to be not only gifted in acting but also able to shine in directing; his future was truly limitless.

"This result is indeed good."

Zhang Zhang Yimou had just released *Full River Red* some time ago.

The old national teacher’s work of sharpening a sword for three years.

Also only managed to get 10 million in pre-sales.

One had to know that the result after *Full River Red* broke 4 billion.

Although *Ne Zha* is a cartoon, it definitely lacks stamina, but being able to have such a starting point is really quite surprising.

"Xiao Lin’s film might really be able to surpass *Detective Chinatown* and create a film history miracle."

"Anyway, I believe in him."

As a first-line director who has entered the ranks in recent years.

Wu Jing was Lin Yu’s iron buddy.

Just taking advantage of this opportunity to beat Chen Chen Sicheng.

In the director circle, everyone’s private style is very average, but they are always decent on the surface.

But Chen Chen Sicheng’s chaotic private life and scumbag conduct have smeared the image of directors in the entire Chinese film industry.

Many upright directors in the circle sneered at this, just taking the opportunity to satirize a few words.

"Xiao Chen, I just saw you in the group, why don't you speak?"

Song Jiang Wen was even more carefree, directly naming Chen Chen Sicheng. At the previous Sina Weibo Film Festival, Song Jiang Wen had a good impression of Lin Yu.

He watched the interview Lin Yu accepted on the Movie Channel.

And watched Chen Chen Sicheng’s low-EQ Sina Weibo response.

By comparison.

Chen Chen Sicheng seemed to have no pattern.

As a senior in the director world, being so petty and sarcastic is really shameful.

And Chen Chen Sicheng, who was resting in the hotel, saw the news sent in the director chat group.

His mouth was almost crooked with anger.

He cursed these old things for not knowing how to lift.

Isn't it just a pre-sale box office?

Where is this?

If you have the ability, *Ne Zha* will have such results every day.

Film box office is not overnight, it is a protracted war. Distance knows the strength of a horse, let’s wait and see!

After a week of warm-up waiting.

Lin Yu boldly scheduled *Ne Zha* and *The Avengers* at the same time on the weekend.

This also made many domestic actors, directors, and film critics look forward to it, holding a melon-eating attitude to see the premiere day box office, what the result will be.

On the day of the premiere, Lin Yu and Da Da Mi Mi arrived at the Wanda Cinema in Yanjing early.

The scheduled time was at 8:00 PM.

"Sister Mi, do you want some popcorn?"

Lin Yu and Yang Mi wore sunglasses and masks, fully armed like passersby.

"Just give me a latte."

Yang Mi wanted to agree, but thinking of *Fox Spirit Matchmaker*. She was about to enter the group.

She didn't dare to eat too much, fearing it would affect her screen image.

When Lin Yu and Yang Mi took the elevator to the snack area, they were instantly stunned by the scene in front of them. The large cinema lounge was already overcrowded.

The scene of long queues was staggering.

"So excited! I heard Captain America and Iron Man will meet everyone at the premiere."

"That’s right, I also got the news and rushed over immediately, and I also got a front-row ticket; if I can get a signed photo of Iron Man, this life is worth it."

"I like Captain America’s muscles; will he show off his abs later?"

"......"

On the other side, there were not many discussions about *Ne Zha*.

The subject matter is a cartoon, so most of the families who came together were families with children.

The family was happy and harmonious, just to pass the time. They didn't have too many expectations for this film.

Not long after,

Lin Yu and Yang Mi walked into the No. 2 screening hall side by side.

The two sat in the corner.

"How is it? Are you nervous?"

Yang Mi inserted the straw into the coffee cup and turned to look at Lin Yu.

"Nervous."

Lin Yu replied honestly.

Even if he knew the box office would sell well, he would still feel a little inexplicably uneasy in his heart.

After all, this was the first film he produced and directed, his debut in name.

It’s like his own child performing on stage; it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.

Hearing Lin Yu’s answer, Yang Mi chuckled; it was rare to see Lin Yu in a nervous state. At this moment, the sophisticated Lin Yu finally looked like a young man in his early 20s.

The film started soon.

You could vaguely hear the children’s shouts and the parents’ scolding in the cinema.

But as the plot deepened.

The audience at the scene was completely immersed in the plot.

Started to bring into Ne Zha’s bumpy life experience.

Especially when the stunning special effects scene of flooding Chen Chen Tangguan was presented on the giant screen in the cinema, all the audience gasped.

It’s hard to imagine, has domestic animation reached this level?

Especially after the little demon Ne Zha transformed.

All the children in the audience went crazy, started roaring and jumping, cheering for little Ne Zha. And the adults didn't feel any discomfort.

It seemed that it should be so exciting.

This story is not only for children, but also explores human nature from the perspective of adults.

Everyone can see their own shadow in Ne Zha.

An hour and a half of hearty and hearty, almost no urine points, many funny jokes inside, also made the audience laugh.

If *The Avengers* next door brings a feast of extreme heroism.

Then *Ne Zha* is an exquisite dessert suitable for all ages.

After the film ended, Lin Yu and Da Da Mi Mi didn't stay long and left the cinema with satisfaction.

And the audience of *The Avengers* all stayed in the cinema, looking forward to the big show, waiting for the Marvel big stars to land.

However, what no one expected was.

Iron Man and Captain America just greeted everyone on the big screen perfunctorily, like a video conference, without any sincerity.

This instantly caused strong dissatisfaction among many fans who watched the film.
