Chapter 580: That Legendary 2.8 Billion

"Medicine God" broke the single-day box office record previously held by "Star Domain" in the country, so it naturally needed to be promoted vigorously.

Moreover, there was no need to be low-key about such a thing; it could be promoted with great fanfare.

Luo Mo Studio quickly began posting celebratory Posters across the entire internet, and Xu Chujing Studio immediately liked and reposted them.

Besides that, many of Luo Mo's celebrity friends also joined in the ranks of those offering congratulations.

Once this matter came out, it caused "Medicine God" to once again top the Weibo Hot Search list.

From a certain perspective, because of its terrifying social influence, this film benefited society. And so, people from all walks of life helped him reach the throne of the single-day box office champion, which could be considered a fine story.

Shanghai, Xicheng.

Xu Chujing even specially opened a bottle of red wine, held two stemmed glasses, handed one to Luo Mo, and then clinked glasses with him, saying: "Congratulations to you."

Luo Mo then said: "Just verbal congratulations?"

"Then what do you want?" A smile appeared on Xu Chujing's beautiful and imposing face.

"Hey, where did I put that pair of Cat Demon ears brought back from the 'Cat Demon' set?" Luo Mo began to play dumb.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chujing could naturally guess what this lecherous man was thinking.

Far from being shy, she asked him with an even thicker smile: "Then do you want me to also wear a small black leather jacket and small black leather pants?"

Hearing this, Luo Mo immediately downed the red wine in his glass and asked with an expectant look: "Do you have them?"

"Of course not!" Xu Chujing was so angry she raised her jade foot, unable to resist wanting to kick him.

To think he actually asked me if I have them!?

Then do you want me to go buy a cat tail too?

I really don't know what is going on in a man's mind.

The two sat in the living room, not drinking too much wine, just having a few small glasses, enough to be slightly tipsy.

Before taking a bath, Xu Chujing specifically chose a black silk nightgown from the closet.

Luo Mo glanced at her and even wondered aloud: "Why aren't you holding your clothes properly? Why are you wrapping them into a ball in your hands? Won't they get a bit wrinkled in a moment?"

"It's pure silk, how could it wrinkle so easily! Go play with your phone, why so many words." Xu Chujing glared at him.

As she spoke, her hands holding the nightgown tightened slightly.

A pair of cat ears, realistic to the extreme, were being wrapped by her with the nightgown, hidden tightly.

She hadn't decided yet whether to satisfy Luo Mo, thinking she would try wearing them in front of the bathroom mirror after her bath to see the effect.

Just as she was about to close the bathroom door, Luo Mo's voice suddenly came.

"Right!" Luo Mo said.

This woman, who usually had a powerful aura, couldn't help but stiffen. Acting like a thief, Xu Chujing didn't even look back as she asked: "What is it?"

"Do your parents watch the news on weekdays?" Luo Mo asked.

Hearing this, Xu Chujing let out a long sigh of relief and said: "They do. They basically watch the News Broadcast every day. Sometimes they just leave it on to listen to the sound."

Hearing this, Luo Mo smiled and said: "That's good then."

………

………

This was a fairly calm night, because after Xu Chujing tried three times in the bathroom, she ultimately still felt a bit ashamed.

Some things must be taken slowly.

Once there is a first time, there will be ten thousand times.

Being a cat, after all, is nothing to be ashamed of.

The next day, the box office trend for "Medicine God" remained very good.

As of now, although it is unlikely to hit a new high, the probability of breaking 400 million is extremely high.

This kind of achievement is truly terrifying.

Moreover, one point must be made clear, and that is that the investment amount for the film "Medicine God" was actually not very high.

It is indeed not the kind of film that requires crazy amounts of money to be thrown into post-production.

In the film, there aren't many big scenes either.

Industry insiders roughly calculated the accounts.

Among them, Luo Mo's personal salary is hard to estimate because he has never filmed anyone else's movie, nor has he filmed anyone else's drama, and he is very different from most Top Traffic stars, possessing a different commercial value.

Excluding Luo Mo's personal salary, this film is Afraid it could break even in one day!

One day's Split Box Office is enough to break even; what a terrifying thing this is!

This is simply a massive profit!

And what could be more satisfying than gaining both fame and fortune?

Money, Big Profit and Extra Big Profit.

Fame, Big Profit and Extra Big Profit.

Now, it's just a matter of winning a few more well-known awards in the film industry.

On August 11, reports related to "I Am Not Medicine God" were truly overwhelming.

Many official media outlets had clearly just mentioned this film yesterday, and today they started entering the fray one after another, praising it lavishly.

The reason is very simple: it broke the single-day box office record.

One must know that "Star Domain" is, after all, not a domestic film; it is a 3D blockbuster imported from overseas.

Everyone naturally wants their own local good films to be able to ascend to that supreme throne.

Now, "Medicine God" has done it, and it did it beautifully!

Not only did it raise the highest box office record by over 40 million in one go, but the number of daily viewers was also much higher than "Star Domain".

Because "Star Domain" is a 3D film, the ticket price is actually quite a bit higher than "Medicine God"!

Beijing, a high-end residential complex.

The three members of the Xu Family had just finished dinner, and the television in the living room was playing the News Broadcast.

Originally, the television was just on for background noise. In this household, only Xu Chong'an would watch the News Broadcast; Zhao Tong and Xu Jinzhu were completely uninterested.

However, the Xu family members quickly and sensitively caught the sounds coming from the television.

They heard "Luo Mo," and they heard "I Am Not the Medicine God."

In an instant, Zhao Tong and Xu Chong'an naturally sat down on the sofa in the living room.

Most interestingly, Zhao Tong even specifically called Xu Jinzhu out from his room.

"Jinzhu! Come out for a second!"

"Eh, coming!" Xu Jinzhu walked out slowly, just about to ask "What's the matter," when his gaze was captured by the television in the living room.

On the news, they were introducing the movie "Medicine God," its influence, and how it broke the single-day box office record, knocking the long-reigning "Star Domain" off the top spot.

For a moment, Xu Jinzhu couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

He was a Beijing local; by nature, in certain aspects, he was more sensitive than people from other regions.

He knew very well what it meant to be featured on this kind of news.

Most importantly, for the Xu family, after Luo Mo visited their home, they had coincidentally seen him on TV twice.

Both times it was this!

Once was "Young China Says," and once was "I Am Not the Medicine God."

The duration of both segments wasn't very long, but every word spoken within them, falling into the ears of the Xu family, was almost equivalent to saying: "Good son-in-law, good son-in-law, good son-in-law!"

Does Luo Mo need someone to play matchmaker for him?

No.

Does he need others to go before the Xu family and praise him?

No.

Just bring out the ultimate move—State-Certification!

An indescribable emotion began to sprout in the depths of Xu Jinzhu's heart, but for a moment, he didn't know what it actually was.

Young man, actually it's called admiration.

He himself might not have even realized that his attitude had already undergone a qualitative change.

At first it was: "No one in the entertainment industry is worthy of my sister!"

Later it became: "If it's Luo Mo, I suppose it's barely acceptable."

Now at least it's: "Yes! Totally yes!"

His thinking right now is very dangerous, extremely dangerous.

Because if it develops any further, it's afraid it will turn into:

"It's my sister who is marrying up!"

……..

……..

On August 11, with help from many sides, "Medicine God" finally achieved a great result of 430 million.

It was very clear that the box office for this movie would continue to run wild for quite a while.

This made Vice President Cheng Wen of Penguin Video very distressed.

Previously, in order to express Penguin's Kindness toward Luo Mo, he had waved his hand and offered a base price for the acquisition of the online video rights to "I Am Not the Medicine God," stating that if the box office was good, they could talk again.

This was equivalent to providing a safety net for Luo Mo; even if this movie flopped hard, he would still give him a not-insignificant sum.

Regarding this, it wasn't that Penguin was giving away money or doing charity.

Because video platforms want members, they want user traffic.

Even if Luo Mo's movie wasn't filmed well and people weren't willing to spend big money to watch it in theaters, once it opened the 【Member Free Viewing】 permission on Penguin Video, the view count would definitely not be low.

Free and paid are two different things.

People won't be that picky about free things.

Once money has to be paid, the nitpicking voices will increase.

But now, things were a mess.

Cheng Wen didn't even know what price was appropriate to offer anymore!

He had only one thought in his heart right now: "This movie, we at Penguin Video must get the exclusive rights, it must be exclusive!"

The value of Luo Mo in Cheng Wen's heart was still soaring.

It was very clear that this young man could not only prop up the series and variety show sectors, but movies as well!

My great Penguin is counting on him alone!

Cheng Wen opened his phone and checked the box office for "Medicine God."

It was now the morning of August 12, and the cumulative box office had already reached 2.84 billion.

Afraid it could easily break 3 billion today!

"It's already 2.8 billion," Cheng Wen sighed.

For a movie of this level, he knew in his heart that the exclusive rights would cost a large sum.

Soon, Cheng Wen was slightly stunned: "Eh, 2.8 billion? Why do I always feel like I've seen this number somewhere, or heard it, I just feel like something isn't right."

Just as Cheng Wen felt a bit of doubt in his heart, a certain director surnamed Tian, who had leaked the 2.8 billion box office figure to the media, was currently full of worry.

Today, many media outlets had contacted Tian Ou's team again, wanting to interview him.

He could guess the media's questions.

"Medicine God" box office really broke 2.8 billion, what is your take on this?

"How do I see it? Do you think I'm fucking kneeling to watch it!?" Tian Ou roared wildly in his heart.

Director Fang Jie received similar treatment to him.

After all, she had previously hinted behind the scenes that the 【Hundred Billion Box Office Plan】 was originally for 10 people, but later suddenly became 11.

If "Medicine God" flopped, the exposure of these two would nail Luo Mo to the pillar of shame.

Luo Mo, a foul-smelling, well-connected person who spouted wild words, had a box office flop, had no self-awareness, and was very good at pulling strings.

However, what about now?

——Director Luo, you were clearly being a bit conservative!

Is this the most powerful well-connected person? This is clearly someone who turned the tide!

Tian Ou and Fang Jie felt so uncomfortable that it was as if hallucinations were about to appear before their eyes.

It was as if they had returned to that day, returned to that conference room in the Review Department.

That thin young man seemed to be sitting in front of them again.

He was so thin, thin to the point where his cheekbones protruded, thin to the point where his cheeks were sunken.

Yet his eyes were so spirited, so bright.

They saw him close the notebook recording the numbers, spinning a pen in his hand, while saying:

"Then how about 2.8 billion?"

But this was not because "Medicine God" could only get 2.8 billion.

It was just that at the time, you happened to only have 2.8 billion left!
