Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

Chapter 439 A ticket is hard to find, Zhang Xiao's pomp

"Did you go to the Lighthouse Country to hold the premiere?" A smart reporter asked.

Yang Mi smiled and nodded, "Very correct, the premiere in North America is a day and a half later than ours in China, just enough for them to fly over."

"Mr. Yang, do you think "Interstellar" can break the box office record of "Stars"?" the reporter asked.

For the premiere of "Interstellar", the pregnant Yang Mi also came along.

Yang Mi, who was wearing loose clothes, said with a smile: "My husband said yes, so it must be possible."

···
After the movie fans went home after watching the movie, they couldn't help being excited, and they all gathered at the film review night held by the Department of Culture.

In less than half an hour, more than 13 people have given "Interstellar" a super high score of 9000.

"The product produced by Xiao Shen must be a high-quality product, and we will start it for the second time tomorrow."

"Just watch it twice, I bought movie tickets for the next five days."

"Domestic sci-fi films started with "Wandering Planet" and rose from "Interstellar"."

"I just hoped that "Interstellar" could reach the level of "Wandering Planet", but I didn't expect Xiao Shen to give me such a big surprise."

"Space stations, spaceships, meteor showers, waves tens of meters high, black holes, wormholes, etc., my God, it's really shocking."

"In the movie "Interstellar", the father-daughter relationship between Xiao Shen and Zhou Xun is very touching."

"The best sci-fi movie in history, bar none."

"The most successful part of "Interstellar" is not the shocking special effects, but the consistent family affection."

"When I came back, I was still a teenager, but my daughter was over 100 years old. This may be the most severe punishment in the world."

"Damn, the spoiler is five centimeters shorter."

"···"

Thanks to the excellent word-of-mouth, movie tickets for "Interstellar" have become hard to come by.

Before the next day, the pre-sale box office has already exceeded 20 billion, and the line is directly on the sixth day of the first lunar month, and the venue is still full, and there is no vacancy.

This reminds many people of the grand occasion when "The Stars" was released.

The theater wants to increase the number of films, but unfortunately it has reached its limit, because they have to allocate 50% of the film schedule to other films.

But the question is, is there any other movie that can compare with "Interstellar"?

The money is right in front of them, but the theater can only watch and cannot eat it, which makes them feel like they are eating.

Finally, Longda Cinema took the lead in responding and directly increased the production of "Interstellar" to 75%. The slogan was to support the film of its own boss Xiao Shen and help "Interstellar" break the world box office record.

Sunny Entertainment Company is one of the shareholders of Longda Cinema, and Sunny Company is owned by Zhang Xiao, which is well known.

It's just that everyone knows that the excuse of Longda Cinema is pure nonsense.

The other film producers were very annoyed and immediately sued Wanda to the Culture Department.

The Department of Culture immediately held an emergency meeting, and after some discussions, ordered Longda Cinema to be confident in accordance with the regulations on the protection of domestic films in the middle of the month.

Seeing this situation, other theaters immediately died down.

However, something unexpected happened.

Together with "Interstellar", among the twelve movies in the Spring Festival file.

Except for "Mythology" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", the other nine producers actually asked the Culture Department to apply for a postponement of the release at the same time. The reasons were even more bizarre, but the purpose was very clear, that is, they did not want to compete with "Interstellar".

Of course, they didn't want to be cannon fodder.

Seeing this situation, the people in charge of the major theaters all made joke calls to the Department of Culture, requesting that the films of the nine producers be postponed until the seventh day of the first lunar month.

Neither the producer nor the distributor wants to release the film during the Spring Festival, which is the first time in the history of Chinese film.

The Department of Culture did not enforce it either. After confirming the wishes of both parties, they agreed.

When the theater heard the news, they were overjoyed, and immediately refunded all the pre-sale box office of the other nine films to the fans, and then gave "Interstellar" all the productions that belonged to them.

And the performance of "Interstellar" did not disappoint the theaters. In less than three hours, all the movie tickets were sold out.

As a result, there are only three movies left in this year's Spring Festival, namely "Myth", "Journey to the West" and "Interstellar".

The first two films combined only got 25% of the filming volume, far lower than "Interstellar", but their attendance rate reached more than 90%.

As long as the word of mouth is not bad, I believe the box office will be equally impressive.

···
the other side.

New York International Airport.

Zhang Xiao took the lead and walked out of the airport with the actors of "Interstellar", Chen Daoming, Zhou Xun, Deng Cao, Dan Hong, Zhang Yi, Reba, and their respective assistants.

Deng Cao asked, "Director Zhang, is there anyone picking us up outside the airport?"

Zhou Xun rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said, "Xiaocao, can you stop asking such a stupid question?"

"What do you mean?" Deng Cao asked very puzzled.

Zhang Yi explained with a smile: "Brother Cao, New York is the headquarters of Disney Films, and Director Zhang is the second largest shareholder of Disney Films. In other words, this is Director Zhang's territory. Can no one take it? "

Zhou Xun continued to add: "Maybe, the CEO of Disney, Mr. Herman, is waiting outside the airport."

Deng Cao exclaimed: "Herman? No way?"

When everyone walked out of the airport, Zhang Xiao glanced around, and soon found Herman and Chen Li who came to pick them up.

Herman also saw Zhang Xiao and the others, and immediately greeted them, smiling all over his face: "Mr. Zhang, Ning Hao..."

Zhang Xiao shook hands with him, and said: "Mr. Herman, you should sit in the office and handle the company's affairs now, instead of picking me up at the airport. I'm not the kind of person who pays attention to ostentation."

Herman smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, Disney's most important job right now is the release of "Interstellar". This movie is no worse than "Stars". I believe it will be a success."

Zhang Xiao said: "I hope so!"

When Zhang Xiao greeted Herman, Zhou Xun behind said softly: "I guessed right, Mr. Herman is really here."

Deng Cao was taken aback for a moment, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was flattering him, and exclaimed, "This guy is the CEO of Disney?"

"Yes, don't look down on him!" Zhou Xun said angrily, "Herman is a grandson in front of shareholders, but in Hollywood, even if he faces top superstars, he still has an arrogance on his face."

Deng Cao said enviously, "I don't know when I will reach Director Zhang's position."

Zhou Xun rolled his eyes and said, "The words in this life are probably enough!"

Deng Cao shut herself up immediately.

After coming to the underground parking lot, good guy, eighteen bodyguards in suits and sunglasses stood straight beside the vehicle, with their hands behind their backs, imposing.

Zhang Yi was speechless inwardly, thinking to himself, Director Zhang's ostentation is really big.

Zhang Xiao, Chen Daoming and others got into a stretched Lincoln sedan, while the others got into the bodyguard's car.

Soon, eight cars escorted Zhang Xiao's Lincoln car and drove towards the Disney Hotel.
