Chapter 108
And knew what the situation was.
"Hmph~" Seeing Qin Yu ignoring her, Bai Lu could only sulk by herself.
On the other side, Qin Yu was calculating the time; the fourth day’s box office should be coming out soon, right?
By then, Bai Lu’s expression would definitely be very interesting.
Online.
Many netizens were the same as Bai Lu.
"What’s going on? How come it’s only over five hundred thousand after three days? Did they miss a zero?"
"That’s right, no way, no way."
"..."
A group of Qin Yu’s fans started to worry; even if it flopped, it wouldn't flop like this.
Five hundred thousand in three days, that’s only five million in a month.
It’s hard to say if it can break any records.
There was a group of people who started making snide remarks.
Saying things like Qin Yu failing in Mai Cheng, overseas box office failure, etc.
Qin Yu had offended quite a few people along the way.
The remaining large group of netizens were also very conflicted; although they really hoped to split that ten million.
But they were also Qin Yu’s supporters.
They didn't want Qin Yu to flop.
'Now You See Me' was the first movie to go abroad in the last two years.
They hoped it would be released smoothly. Their requirements weren't high.
A box office of a few tens of millions would be fine.
"What kind of snide remarks are you guys making? You’re truly idiots, go check the fourth day’s box office yourself."
"Clowns!"
"..."
"Exactly, it’s only been three days and you can't hold back? I see your IP, you’re from Xiangjiang, right?"
"Well said, you guys really have no brains, the first three days were the distributor’s preview screenings."
"Brain-dead!"
"I asked my friend in the US, and they said this movie is very good, many young Americans like it."
"..."
Hearing this, Qin Yu’s fans got excited.
Really?
The first three days were preview screenings to collect word-of-mouth.
"See for yourself, today’s US box office is out, 'Now You See Me' single-day box office has reached three million!"
Seeing this number, all of Qin Yu’s fans started cheering.
Three million! And this is just the US box office, after the global release, wouldn't that mean...
"Can't be happy too early, wait a bit longer."
"That’s right, wait a bit longer."
"..."
Although many fans couldn't hold back, this was only the first day of the actual release.
Don't be anxious.
Time passed slowly.
Day 5, 'Now You See Me' US box office came out.
Single-day box office 3.9 million, cumulative box office 7.4 million, ranked tenth.
Day 6, 'Now You See Me' US box office 4.3 million, total box office 11.7 million. Ranked ninth.
Day 7, word-of-mouth finally spread.
Single-day box office 5.6 million, cumulative box office 17.3 million, ranked sixth.
Also today, 'Now You See Me' had its global premiere, and the overseas box office, excluding the US, also reached three million for the day.
On the seventh day, the global single-day box office was 8.6 million US dollars!!!
It even made it onto the Hollywood Times.
[A magic hurricane from China is sweeping across the land of the United States]
PS: Second chapter.
Brothers, please vote, the author is miserable, coming to the big city alone to work hard.
Typing in an internet cafe every day, can't even afford the internet fees without votes.
Drinking tap water every day, eating hard steamed buns, life is miserable, no one to rely on, so miserable, so miserable.
Can only rely on you Wu Yanzu to support me~~
Just thinking about it makes me feel so bitter!
It also hit the trending list on Twitter, the latest social platform in the US.
"Sh*t! I really didn't imagine such a brilliant movie was filmed by China."
"To be honest, my only impression of China is pandas and Chen Long."
"..."
"Makes sense, simply can't imagine, here I want to say sorry to this director, I despised it very much before watching."
"But after watching, this is indeed a brilliant movie, one magic trick made the whole world go crazy."
"..."
"Hollywood movie companies need to pay attention, magic was originally our thing, now it’s actually filmed into a movie by a Chinese director."
"And it even made it into American cinemas, I have to say this is absolutely a disgrace!~"
"..."
Many American citizens who had watched the movie expressed their opinions on it.
Almost no bad reviews.
The only thing that made them a bit uncomfortable was that this was a Chinese movie.
What’s even more frustrating is that it used their magic techniques, this is f*cking funny.
Using our things to earn our money.
Isn't that a bit too much?
But most netizens didn't care about this.
Once they heard the ratings were very good, and the rating on Rotten Tomatoes was also 8.0.
They all started to take action.
How could they miss such an interesting movie?
And it’s China?
That mysterious country is very interesting.
And at this moment, Brown and Qin Yu were on the phone.
"Qin, as expected, I didn't choose wrong when I chose you, yesterday’s box office was nearly nine million."
Qin Yu, however, seemed a bit unhappy.
"Mr. Brown, your Lionsgate makes me a bit disappointed, why is the overseas box office so low?"
"..."
"Qin, don't be anxious, this is only the first day, we haven't started large-scale promotion outside the US yet."
Hearing this, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Qin Yu’s mouth. ===== CHAPTER 200 =====
This was exactly the sentence he wanted.
Hurry up and spend money on promotion, why are you just standing there?
"You can appropriately tilt towards the East Asian region, I think Mr. Brown understands very well."
"Of course."
A pleasant chat ended.
Qin Yu hung up the phone.
Looking at Bai Lu, who was overjoyed on the side, she was like a different person from a few days ago.
"Xiao Bai, so happy? I remember someone was almost crying a few days ago."
"Boss, you’re really annoying." Bai Lu wrinkled her little nose.
She said aggrievedly.
"You clearly knew it was a preview screening but didn't remind me, making me worry for so long."
"I actually didn't know either."
Bai Lu pouted; if she still believed that, she would be truly stupid.
I’m an educated person, how could I be tricked by you again?
You clearly knew.
You just like to tease me.
Snuggling in Qin Yu’s arms, Bai Lu said sweetly.
Boss, is it time for the lottery? Today’s global box office of eight million has already hit the headlines, oh.
"Is that so? Let me see."
Qin Yu took the phone and started reading.
[Overseas box office surges, Director Qin’s new film is sweeping the whole world!]
Seeing this title, Qin Yu was stunned.
What the hell?
Can you brag any more?
A global box office of over eight million is called sweeping the world? Where do you put 'Titanic' and 'Avatar' which make tens of millions a day?
Although Qin Yu felt it was ridiculous, netizens loved to see it.
They were all incredibly excited.
"Speaking of which, is this our first mainland movie to become popular overseas?"
"Same question, I want to know too."
"Should be, well, not quite, Xiangjiang actually had a few."
"Don't talk about this, is there anyone big out there who can tell us how much this box office can reach? This guy Qin Yu must have made a killing, right?"
"I want to know too, this is eight million US dollars, fifty million RMB, eh."
"The exchange rate rose again yesterday, it’s more than fifty million."
"Why care about so much? Hurry up and tell us."
"..."
"My big self is here, I’m a theater chain manager, I have some understanding of the US and overseas box office."
"'Now You See Me' is actually hard to say, the randomness is too great, although it’s popular now, I don't know how long it can last."
"At the very least, a box office of one hundred million US dollars is not a big problem, the rest is unknown."
"F*ck, one hundred million, eh."
"..."
The netizens were all stunned, because no mainland domestic movie had ever sold so high.
Let alone a box office of one hundred million, there wasn't even one of fifty million.
Hollywood feels that domestic movies are very backward, to put it bluntly, many movies are just borrowing from them.
Nothing good to watch.
"Stop chatting, Qin Yu is holding a lottery over there, hurry up."
"Almost forgot I’m also a supporter of Director Qin, I’m going, brothers."
"Bye-bye, everyone, wish me luck."
"That’s right, bye-bye, wish me luck, everyone."
"+1"
"+1"
"..."
"Get lost, you guys, I wish you all to be Africans."
"Well said, draw my ass."
"+1"
"+1"
"..."
Everyone was quite happy at first, Qin Yu’s movie selling well overseas, as family, there must be a sense of pride.
Qin Yu can also be considered one of their own.
But who would have thought there would be a lottery, this is f*cking depressing.
Not acting like humans.
Get lost!
On the other side.
The domestic entertainment industry really exploded.
People in the industry were very crazy, artists were all asking about Qin Yu’s next movie.
Is the script written? Is it approved?
They were very anxious.
Look at the leads like Hu Ge.
Without paying attention, they actually mixed into international stars.
Although they only showed their faces once overseas, with the popularity of 'Now You See Me'.
It still had some effect, more or less.
At least their status is different when they go out now.
Now many high-end endorsements have come to Hu Ge, Yang Mi, and the others.
The price isn't low either.
And some fashion magazines.
They’ve been incredibly popular these past few days.
Artists are jealous; before filming, who would have thought 'Now You See Me' could break records.
And even go abroad.
If it could really be like this, then even if they had to crawl, they would get on Qin Yu’s boat.
The most regretful among them were the artists who almost got the roles.
"Brother Xiaoming, cheer up."
The agent was constantly comforting him on the side.
Wanting to say something but not knowing how to start, Huang Xiaoming was indeed miserable, he could have completely played Hu Ge’s role.
And the investors included Huayi.
Wang Zhonglei would definitely support it.
Even if Hu Ge had that relationship with Liu Shishi, as long as he crushed Hu Ge in acting.
Qin Yu wouldn't be too biased.
Unfortunately...
"Sister Zhen, tell me, am I an idiot? I missed such a good opportunity, that bastard Deng Chao has been showing off in front of me for a long time."
"My position as the number one young actor in the mainland is not guaranteed." ===== CHAPTER 201 =====
