Chapter 419

"..."

"From now on, who dares to say we Chinese can't play with blockbusters or sci-fi? Check out *The Matrix*."

"I hope domestic entertainment companies learn from Qin Yu and stop just filming 'art' all day."

"How can that stuff be better than a blockbuster?"

"+1"

"+1"

"..."

"..."

People in the industry were also incredibly excited after seeing this, and they didn't feel any jealousy toward Qin Yu.

The gap was too wide to be jealous.

They were, however, incredibly jealous of Zhang Jin, Huang Xiaoming, and those people.

These guys were so lucky; they filmed one movie and actually became internationally renowned actors.

Two days in the US and they already had over 20 million in box office, the reviews were so good, and it was just the beginning.

Afterward, *The Matrix* would definitely spread globally just like *Now You See Me*.

By then, their popularity wouldn't just spread across the entire planet, but it would definitely be no problem in the East Asian region.

They hit the jackpot.

One movie to live off of for a lifetime.

Everyone started asking around: what about Director Qin's next movie?

Entertainment companies in the circle were the same.

But their appetites were much bigger than the actors'. Since you, Qin Yu, can film blockbusters, why can't we?

The investment return of *The Matrix* was simply exaggerated.

Even domestically, it could make hundreds of millions, not to mention abroad.

Consequently, many entertainment companies in the circle started researching.

That's right.

They also wanted to film blockbusters and make big money.

Whether they could make money was unknown for now, but the screenwriters in the circle were overjoyed.

Because of Qin Yu, their unit prices skyrocketed.

To get a good script, some capital even offered sky-high prices.

Huayi privately spread the news that if there was a decent script, they would even offer box office shares.

Cheng Tian, Enlight Media, and other large companies were the same.

After Qin Yu learned of this news, he was actually quite happy.

Chinese screenwriters had actually always been the ones being exploited; their status was too low.

Capital could change the script, the director could change it, the producer could change it.

Even some actors could change it.

Damn, with all this changing back and forth, what's left to watch?

The screenwriter is the foundation of a play.

Their status really should be raised; otherwise, without a good story, it's absolutely impossible to film a good movie.

On the other side.

Qin Yu had already started the roadshow in the US with Liu Yifei.

Warner Bros. seemed to have underestimated Qin Yu's popularity in the US; when the two appeared at the cinema on the first day, it almost caused a riot.

The excited Americans rushed toward the stage one after another, and Jason, who came along, was scared shitless.

Warner Bros. also didn't expect Qin Yu to be so popular.

They hurriedly found people to rescue Qin Yu and Liu Yifei, who was in Qin Yu's arms.

If something happened, the Chinese authorities would hold them accountable.

"Can't you play fair? Our country finally produced a treasure, and as a result, they were trampled to death by you Americans during the roadshow."

What a huge joke.

It would be strange if the authorities weren't angry.

For the following days of the roadshow, Warner Bros. made full preparations, bringing several security guards to every roadshow.

Otherwise, life and death would be unpredictable.

It lasted until the sixth day.

The last day of the roadshow remained.

Noon.

Qin Yu patted the Fairy Sister's butt.

"Get up, my hands are sore..."

Qin Yu rubbed his arms, and the Fairy Sister opened her eyes with a look of disdain.

"What's sore hands? My mouth wasn't sore yesterday, jerk."

Speaking of this, Qin Yu actually laughed, and even his sleepiness vanished.

He pinched Liu Yifei's little face and said.

"Do you still remember what you said before? That you wouldn't do it even in a lifetime!"

The Fairy Sister's pretty face flushed slightly as she said.

"Get lost."

"Stop pinching, I'm going to take a shower, my body is covered in your stuff."

Qin Yu didn't stop her, lying on the bed, picking up the laptop on the side to check emails.

He had already been in the US for several days.

Must say, the effect was still very good.

After the roadshow, the US box office rose all the way.

Now, after ten days of release in the US, the box office had reached 141 million USD.

Yesterday's single-day box office was 14.6 million.

Second only to *Despicable Me* at 15.62 million, ranking second in the US box office.

The overseas box office was also very good.

On the first day Qin Yu arrived in the US, it had already started global release; Warner Bros.' foundation was indeed formidable.

It was released in over 120 countries and regions globally.

Much more powerful than *Now You See Me* last time; last time, *Now You See Me* only totaled over 70 countries and regions.

What Jason said before about Warner Bros. being able to increase *Now You See Me*'s box office by 10% to 20% wasn't a joke.

After seven days of global box office release, Warner Bros. estimated it was around 120 million.

The margin of error wasn't big.

After all, with so many countries, calculating the box office was indeed a bit difficult.

Counting it all up, it was about 260 million USD.

This number really wasn't low.

Warner Bros. estimated that *The Matrix* would land around 230 million in the US, and the global box office would be a bit more.

Estimated to be around 250 million.

500 million USD!

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Qin Yu's mouth.

"Almost 500 million, I guess this counts as China's first."

But just as Qin Yu was happy, Liu Yifei rushed out of the bathroom in a hurry.

Her face was panicked, and she was only wrapped in a bath towel.

Fair skin, exquisite little face.

Isn't this tempting people to commit a crime?

"Xixi, you know how to do it, although it's a bit late, if we hurry, it should be no problem."
