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

Chapter 870 Raise the file, box office revenue

Zhang Xiaodao: "It's so embarrassing, it's nothing serious! Let me tell you a word, what are you talking about, whether it's embarrassing or not, don't say anything important."

Cui Yu said, "Uncle wants you to say something."

Zhang Xiao stood up and said, "I have one more sentence left?"

"Yes, in a word." Cui Yu said.

Zhang Xiao took out two train tickets from his pocket, handed them to Cui Yu, and said, "Who paid for the train tickets to come here?"

"Pfft!"

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone burst out laughing.

Cui Yu got the ticket, and with a bitter face, he said, "Let's report it, well, today's special building block of "Speak Straight" is over, thank you everyone."

Zhang Xiao said: "Hey, is this the end of the matter?"

Song Yan said: "That's right, I haven't acted enough yet!"

While muttering, the two followed Cui Yu and left the stage.

"it is good!"

The audience burst into warm applause and cheers.

"This skit is simply fantastic."

"Xiao Shen is Xiao Shen, the acting is great."

"The classic of the classics."

"In the past two years, none of the best skits."

"I hope Xiaoshen can make more sketches."

"···"

For the "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" presented by the three of Zhang and Xiao, almost all the audience gave favorable comments.

Reba smiled and said, "How about the sketch?"

"Okay!" All the audience at the scene replied in unison.

Reba said: "Then let's call the three of them up and have a chat, how about?"

"it is good!"

"Clap clap clap"

There was applause in the studio.

Zhang Xiao, Song Yan, and Cui Yu came up.

Reba asked: "Mr. Song, why did you agree to perform this skit with them?"

Song Yan said: "I originally disagreed, because this skit script was given to me by Zhang Xiao three days ago, and the time is too tight."

"However, after I read the script, I found that the script was very well written. It was full of burdens and very mature. There was almost no need to change a word, so I didn't hold back and agreed."

The scene exclaimed.

"Wow, isn't it, the script I just got three days ago?"

"Then they only rehearsed for three days, and they were able to achieve such an effect, which is simply amazing."

"Awesome, this is an old drama, much better than those little flowers and fresh meat."

"As expected of the script written by Xiao Shen, even Teacher Song was moved."

"But the script is really good!"

"···"

Reba on the stage asked: "Teacher Cui, how about you, why did you agree to appear in this sketch?"

Cui Yu smiled bitterly, and said helplessly, "The boss asked me to act, do I dare not act?"

"Hahaha!" There was a burst of laughter.

Reba asked, "Really?"

Zhang Xiaodao: "Teacher Cui, if you want to make headlines, I can help you plan it, but don't say that."

Cui Yu laughed and said, "Just kidding, just like Teacher Song said, such a good sketch script is really rare, and I will definitely not miss it, so I expanded my business scope at that time."

Reba smiled and said: "Mr. Cui, with your humorous style, you are really suitable for acting in sketches."

Song Yan nodded and echoed, "That's right, he surprised me during the first rehearsal."

Zhang Xiaodao: "Teacher Song was not only surprised, but also seemed to have a drink!"

Song Yan immediately said, "Wrong, I didn't drink one cup, but several cups."

"Hahahaha!" The whole scene suddenly became a sea of ​​joy, and everyone couldn't help laughing.

Reba said: "Mr. Zhang, how did you come up with this sketch?"

Zhang Xiao was taken aback, pointed to his nose, and said, "Are you asking me?"

Reba nodded and said, "Of course."

"Hahaha!" Everyone couldn't help laughing again.

Zhang Xiaodao: "I was a little confused by your words Mr. Zhang."

Reba said, "You haven't answered my question yet."

Zhang Xiaodao: "Of course I was forced!"

Reba exclaimed: "Who dares to force you!"

Zhang Xiao's eyes widened, and he said with grief and indignation: "What do you mean, when someone forced me to attend the party, you were still helping the flames!"

"Oh~~~" The audience booed one after another.

Reba shrugged and said, "Well, I found out that I shouldn't have invited you up."

"Hahahaha!" Amidst the cheers and laughter of the crowd, the three of Zhang Xiao walked off the stage.

It took a full half an hour before Zhang Xiao took off all his makeup, and sat down next to Li Liangjie, Wu Jin and others.

Li Liangjie gave Zhang Xiao a thumbs up, and said: "Zhang Xiao, you can do it, your sketch can go to the Spring Festival Gala."

"No way!" Zhang Xiao said: "With good ideas and good works, you have to take care of your own TV station!"

Wu Jin said dissatisfiedly: "You can talk about sketches when you talk about sketches, why are you making fun of us?"

Zhang Xiaoli said bluntly: "I am accumulating popularity for you, such a good work, the names of Xie Xiaonan and Wu Jin suddenly appeared in the middle, it will definitely greatly increase your popularity, so you should thank me and invite me to drink Just a glass."

Wu Jin said angrily: "Damn, you're so shameless."

Zhang Xiao retorted: "Nonsense, if you want to lose face, can we still be friends?"

Wu Jin was speechless.

The programs of Sunny TV Station are still very good. Even with Zhang Xiao's high standard, many programs are very interesting.

It wasn't until twelve o'clock in the evening that the whole New Year's Eve party ended.

The next day, the ratings of the major TV stations came out.

Sunny TV's New Year's Eve party ratings exceeded [-]%, and the number of online broadcasts exceeded [-] million, while the results of other TV stations were not so good.

The No.2 Mango TV station only got an average viewership rating of 3000%, and the number of network hits was only [-] million, which was their worst time in history.

Not to mention other TV stations, the best ones didn't even reach [-]%.

In fact, holding a New Year's Eve party for a TV station is a completely loss-making business. The reason why everyone still holds it is mainly to show their strength to the outside world and increase confidence for advertisers.

It can be said that Sunny TV has won the battle of this New Year's Eve party, attracting the favor of countless advertisers.

Zhang Xiao was not interested in the matter of Sunny TV, he put all his attention on his animation movie "Crazy Animals".

In half a month, "Zootopia" has already won 16.6 billion US dollars in Europe and America, far exceeding Zhang Xiao's previous expectations.

It is estimated that if it is screened for another half a month, it should be able to break through the 20 billion US dollar mark.

Domestic movie fans are also very concerned about the achievements of "Zootopia" overseas, and there are many posts on the Internet asking Zhang Xiao to screen the movie in advance.

"Strongly urge Xiao Shen to release "Zootopia" as soon as possible."

"Why can it be released in advance overseas, but not in China? This is different treatment!"

"Damn, I don't know which bastard posted the overseas promotional video of "Zootopia" on the Internet, and my child saw it. Now my son is crying and shouting to go to the movie. What should I do? Do you still want to go abroad to see it?"

"Xiao Shen, be yourself and release the movie quickly, the box office will definitely not be bad."

"Xiao Shen, hurry up and show it!"

"···"

Seeing these comments on the Internet, Zhang Xiao frowned.

Damn, this thing seems to be a bit big.

"Mimi, Reba, do you think I should be released earlier?"

While eating, Zhang Xiao asked.

Yang Mi said: "If you want the box office, then wait until the Spring Festival to release it."

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "For me, word of mouth is far more important than the box office. I really don't pay attention to the box office of more than one billion eight hundred million."

Reba said: "I think it's better to show it in advance, as netizens said, brother-in-law is not doing it for money, there is no need to wait until the children are on vacation."

Yang Mi nodded and said, "That's right, that's what I mean too."

Zhang Xiaodao: "Okay, tomorrow I will go to the Culture Department to apply for a file upgrade. After I get the permission, I will upload the trailer immediately and open the box office pre-sale channel. I hope the Culture Department will not object."

Yang Mi said: "I definitely won't object. This year's Spring Festival, the foreign film army came and took up eight films. There are [-] domestic films. They are going crazy for the filming. If you can withdraw voluntarily, the Department of Culture will be happy. It's too late."

Reba said: "Also, Disney also has an animated movie that will be released during the Spring Festival. If you release it earlier, you can just avoid hitting yourself."

Zhang Xiao looked at the two women in surprise, and said, "You can do it, you know so much about the Spring Festival."

"Nonsense." Yang Mi said: "The two films invested by Sunny Entertainment will be released during the Spring Festival. Can we not pay attention? Do you think they are like you and don't care about anything?"

Zhang Xiao quickly waved his hand and said, "Stop it, talk about things if you have something to say, don't turn it into a personal attack."

"Puff!" Both Yang Mi and Reba couldn't help laughing.

The next day, Zhang Xiao went to the Culture Department to apply for changing the schedule of the animated film "Zootopia", and the Culture Department agreed without hesitation.

In the evening, Zhang Xiao posted a Weibo, the content is very simple: "Zootopia has changed its schedule, it will be released on January 22, the ticket price is 42, and the family ticket is [-], please support it."

As soon as this Weibo came out, Zhang Xiao's fans immediately cheered.

"Shen Xiao is too powerful."

"I knew that as long as God Xiao heard everyone's voice, he would definitely change the schedule."

"The fare is so cheap, it's just too conscientious."

"Xiao Shen lost a lot. If it was during the Spring Festival, the ticket price would be at least between 35 and [-]. Now it is directly half cheaper."

"It can be seen from this that Xiao Shen never thought of making money from this movie at all."

"Does Xiao Shen need to use movies to make money now? It's very clear that he doesn't need it!"

"···"

Soon, the promotion of "Zootopia" began.

For seven days, the headlines on the Internet were basically dominated by news about "Zootopia".

For this reason, Zhang Xiaoguang spent a little over 2000 million on publicity expenses, with an average of about [-] million per day.

On January 22, "Zootopia" was officially released simultaneously in China and other Asian countries.

Countless families brought their children to watch, and soon the first day's box office came out.

The box office in China is 3.83 million, the box office in Asian countries is 2.66 million, and the total box office exceeds [-] million.

A certain valve website gave a super high score of 9.32.

There are even more positive comments in the comment area.

"I finally know why "Zootopia" is so popular in Europe and the United States. Such an animated movie is really good!"

"A classic animated movie, no worse than "Frozen"!"

"The kids enjoyed watching it so much that they want to watch it a second time!"

"The family ticket of 42 yuan is really worth it. Even I, who has never been interested in animated movies, watched it with relish."

"Zootopia filmed by Xiao Shen is really wonderful, I gave it a super high score of 9.5."

"Come on Xiaoshen, I hope you can make more animated movies for children to watch."

"I predict that the domestic box office of "Zootopia" will exceed 50 billion."

"50 billion is impossible because the ticket price is too low, but 30 billion should be no problem."

"Come on Xiaoshen, you are the best."

"···"

The high reputation of "Zootopia" immediately caused a huge sensation in China.

Many movie fans brought their children into the cinema one after another.

The pace of life in modern society is very fast. Usually, young people are busy with work and have no time to take their children to play. Now there is a well-received animation movie, and the ticket price is so cheap, it naturally becomes their first choice.

The next day, "Zootopia" earned 5.84 million at the box office.

On the third day, it directly exceeded [-] million.

Soon, a week passed, and "Zootopia" won a box office of 25 billion in China, and the total box office in Asia was 32 billion. It can be said that it is a mess.

At the same time, the overseas box office of "Zootopia" has also successfully exceeded 20 billion U.S. dollars, and the production and publicity expenses of the entire film are only [-] million U.S. dollars.

Looking at the box office data in her hand, Yang Mi's face was full of shock.

"My God, this is too scary, but it's just an animated movie, and the box office is much higher than those Hollywood blockbusters."

Zhang Xiao smiled proudly: "There is no way, geniuses have come to the world, you ordinary people don't understand."

Reba said: "A large part of the reason for such a high box office is the introduction of family tickets. Facts once again prove that children are the easiest to earn money."

Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "I don't deny it."

Yang Mi said: "In the future, directors of animation films will definitely use this trick. Even if the quality is not good, as long as the children like it, adults will definitely take them to watch it."

Zhang Xiaodao: "Yes, for the sake of the children, the parents can do anything."

Reba asked, "Brother-in-law, what are you going to do next?"

Zhang Xiao shrugged and said, "Participate in the sealing performance of Deyunju."

Yang Mi exclaimed: "You really agreed?"

Zhang Xiaodao: "Teacher Yu Qian gave me two bottles of 30-year-old uncle. I don't care about his face, but for the sake of wine, I want to go too."

Yang Mi and Reba looked at each other and were speechless.

That night, Zhang Xiao invited Li Liangjie, Wu Jin, and Yu Qian to drink.

The four of them have formed a group, and every time they are free, they will get together to drink.

"Zhang Xiao, how much did you earn from this animation movie?" Li Liangjie asked.

Zhang Xiao thought for a while and said, "It's estimated to be around one billion dollars."

"Damn!" Wu Jin scolded with a smile when he heard the words: "You are too cruel, you are the same as you, it is really unfortunate for us artists!"

Zhang Xiao immediately retorted: "Wrong, it should be said that you are lucky to be in the same era as me, because this will fully allow you to understand the meaning of Gaoshan Yangzhi."

"Pfft!" Yu Qian almost spit out the tea in his mouth, and said, "You are too shameless, you are still looking up at a high mountain, you regard yourself as a saint!"

Wu Jin said: "Master Zhang Dasheng, my brother is short of money, how about you give me one billion and eight?"
