Chapter 698

The box office on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year was also 53 million.

The single-day box office hadn't even fallen below fifty million.

Originally, some movie experts predicted that Detective Chinatown 2's box office would land around 1.1 billion.

But after four days of release, they hurriedly changed their tune to 1.3 billion.

There was no way around it; if they didn't change their tune, they would get slapped in the face.

After that, if it reached 1.1 billion in less than twenty days, wouldn't that be pure stupidity?

Looking at it this way.

The possibility was truly not small.

Huayi.

In Wang Zhongjun's office.

Wang Zhonglei was incredibly happy, the smile at the corner of his mouth was harder to suppress than an AK.

Detective Chinatown's first week box office was about 400 million.

Four weeks in a month, wouldn't that be 1.6 billion!!

*Cough cough. *

Of course, Wang Zhonglei also knew this was impossible; it should be around 1.3 billion.

This number was quite good.

Detective Chinatown 2 had many sponsors, and more than half of the production costs were sponsored.

... Please give flowers...

Although Qin Yu wanted 40 million for their 20% investment.

Doubling it.

But they could still earn quite a bit.

They could break even with 200 million.

Wang Zhonglei kept calculating in his heart; the investors could probably split 400 million.

A 20% investment would be 80 million.

Excluding other expenses.

There was still 70 million.

Earning 70 million in less than a year.

Wang Zhonglei was incredibly happy.

The most critical thing was that he snatched this 70 million from Wang Changtian's hands.

Happiness doubled...

Not to mention there were other benefits.

"Big Brother, did you see? How did I do this time? Not only did I bring Fan Pang over, but I also easily earned tens of millions."

"Haha~"

Wang Zhongjun was also speechless looking at Wang Zhonglei sitting on the sofa.

But, this was actually also beyond his expectations.

He thought earning 40 or 50 million would be quite amazing.

He didn't expect to earn so much.

It was indeed a bit unexpected.

"This is just small money."

"Small money?" Wang Zhonglei said dissatisfied.

"Big Brother, is over 50 million small money?"

Wang Zhongjun: "..."

"Alright, it's not small money, but we should focus on the next one. The Matrix is the big show."

"And do you have any thoughts on sci-fi movies?"

Although Huayi likes to hug Qin Yu's thigh to eat and drink well, they aren't truly useless.

They were finally planning to shoot a sci-fi movie too.

But it seemed there were no good scripts.

"Sci-fi movies are too difficult. If you ask me, instead of shooting blockbusters, we might as well shoot mythology. Big Brother, what do you think?"

Wang Zhongjun was silent for a while and said.

"This works too."

"What are you planning to shoot?"

"That would naturally be the Monkey."

"Let's look at the script first."

"..."

Wang Zhongjun didn't object, but he had to look at the script first. Don't think domestic entertainment companies are stupid.

They also keenly sensed that the audience's aesthetic had been raised by Qin Yu.

It definitely wouldn't work to just fool around like before.

So the importance of a good script was reflected.

"By the way, Big Brother, we also have to get involved in The Matrix you mentioned." Wang Zhonglei touched his chin.

"I think Qin Yu will definitely return to the country to shoot movies after he finishes shooting Pirates of the Caribbean."

Seeing this, Wang Zhongjun laughed and asked.

"Do you think Qin Yu will fail?"

"On the contrary, I think Qin Yu will most likely succeed, and succeed greatly."

"..."

"Then why come back? Since Pirates of the Caribbean is a success, Qin Yu has already established a foothold in Hollywood."

"Isn't earning USD fragrant?"

He actually felt that if Qin Yu's Pirates of the Caribbean was a success, it might be difficult to have a chance to shoot movies in the country in the future.

After all, no one is stupid.

USD is much more valuable than RMB.

And Qin Yu is doing well in the US, why come back?

If it were him, he wouldn't come back either; foreign mares are quite satisfying too.

"That's indeed true, but Big Brother, you forgot one thing." Wang Zhonglei revealed a mischievous smile.

"What thing?" Wang Zhongjun frowned.

"Huaying is going to have a leadership change next year."

Hearing this, Wang Zhongjun's head felt like it had been hit hard by a heavy drum.

PS: Third update arrived.

Please vote.

It's the end of the month, brothers, do you have any remaining votes?

354: The battle between Liu Yifei and Fan Pang triggered by Nazha, the Fairy Sister who loves to act spoiled: Qin Yu, I want to hug your thigh, I can't beat her!

That's right, next year is the leadership change. If there are no accidents, Third Master will retire to the second line after finishing next year.

Although this old guy's political achievements are okay, The Matrix can be considered a very good achievement of his.

But who would complain about having too much of this stuff?

Qin Yu can be so comfortable and satisfied in the entertainment industry.

Watching Qin Yun Culture develop and poach people everywhere.

There are quite a few people in the entertainment industry cursing him.
