Stop it, boss, I’ve never seen a movie made like this.

Chapter 322 322. Unsung Heroes

"Infernal Affairs" had a box office of 1.5 million on its first day in Xia Guo, including million on Hong Kong Island.

So far, the highest box office in the history of Hong Kong films is only 1.2 million, and there is only one. Now "Infernal Affairs" has broken the record, but 1.5 million has already reached the limit of the local film market in Hong Kong Island. I guess it is just trying to exceed it. Basically impossible!

This result is not surprising. After all, the pre-sale tickets for the movie have reached 3 million. Coupled with Chen Li's popularity, such a result is within reach.

The most shocking thing is the overseas box office. The first-day box office of Eagle Sauce is US$50 million, which is the highest first-day box office result of the year. Adding the box office of other countries, the total overseas box office is as high as more than US$60 million.

When these data were exposed, the entire industry was shocked.

Is this really just the first-day box office? The rate of return is too exaggerated! This is equivalent to the total box office of many movies during their entire release period!

Anyone who is a filmmaker can see that the cost of this movie is not high. Apart from the actors, there are not many scenes and action scenes. Most of them are literary dramas. It cost more than 20 million Xia Guodian. Now it has earned nearly 8 100 million box office, huge profits!

What's more, with a release period of nearly ten or twenty days in the future, the revenue of this movie will reach a terrifying level.

The official cultural and tourism departments were also shocked by this huge number.

After repeated confirmations, they believed that the number was not a mistake but the real box office performance.

This was such a big sum of money that Liang Xu's hands trembled while holding the financial report.

Although he knew from the beginning that Chen Li's movies could make money, he didn't care because his goal was not to make money at the beginning, but to boost the local cultural tourism economy.

But when he saw this number, his heart was pounding and his mouth was dry.

Too much! !

Even if 50% of the theater chain's share is removed, the producer can still have half left. The agreement between him and Chen Li at that time was that the profit would be %, and Chen Li would get %. But even so, the money was still too much.

This is only the box office income. When the time comes, there will be a lot of subsequent copyright income, publicity income, and derivative income.

This money is definitely an unexpected windfall for them!

The entire department gasped, and how to deal with the money became a problem.

After several days of discussion, Liang Xu made a decision.

Part of this money will be used for social construction to create more interesting and fun tourism projects for Hong Kong Island to welcome tourists from all over the world.

The other part is used for the internal construction of the department and the distribution of bonuses to reward the busy subordinates during this period.

The last part was proposed by Chen Li and handed over directly to the police to support the undercover.

"Through this movie, I also gained a deep understanding of undercover police officers. They are in strange and dangerous environments all year round, and even have to commit acts that violate their conscience for the sake of their mission. This is very important to them, both physically and mentally. It’s also a kind of psychological torture.”

“If possible, this money can also provide psychological counseling for undercover police officers, increase their welfare subsidies, and even provide additional pensions to the families of undercover police officers who died in the line of duty, making their families’ lives better. "

Chen Li's words at the meeting were unexpected by everyone present. Everyone listened to him quietly, and their emotions were beyond words.

Not everyone can think of the policemen who work at the bottom for the sake of their home and country, and Chen Li's words also touched their hearts.

The police representative stood up excitedly and came over to hug Chen Li.

"Director Chen, I am very touched that you can think of the undercover police officers, and I thank you on their behalf!!"

This is an effective and reasonable suggestion. It not only considers the overall situation, but also helps the undercover police officers.

Soon, the decision was finalized, and Chen Li and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism set up an exclusive fund with 30% of the proceeds to improve the welfare of undercover police officers.

This plan was in full swing and was exposed by the media. At the same time, there were also some thrilling experiences of undercover police officers.

They risk their lives to stay undercover in drug dens. They never show up for decades and live in danger every day. They are unsung heroes in the darkness. When the spotlight shone on this group, netizens realized that there was such a group of people working silently behind social stability.

#Salute to the heroes who “cannot show their faces”! #

That night, one entry was pinned to the top, and the topic area exploded in popularity.

"I cried to death. I thought it was all part of a movie, but I didn't expect the reality to be so terrifying!"

"Too young, hey, there are always some people who carry a heavy burden forward, salute!"

"I'm really convinced that I can give them part of my movie ticket money!"

"Buy your ticket and buy it again, not only for the movie, but also for these unsung heroes."

"I'm going too. I originally wanted to see it a second time, but now I have even more reasons."

"keep supporting!!"

"."

The box office soared by another 20% overnight. Chen Li did not expect that this unintentional move could boost the box office again, but this is also a good thing. Although the righteous side lost in the movie, the movie can bring beneficial effects to society. ,that's enough.

At this time, in the hotel, Liu Wanxin was wearing a suspender silk nightgown and leaning on Chen Li's arms.

"My great director, you are still as awesome as ever!"

Chen Li didn't know whether she was talking about a movie or something else, so he stretched out his hand to hold her chin and teased: "Oh, there is something even more powerful. Do you want to try it?"

Liu Wanxin reached out and gently patted his fingers away, scolding: "Don't make trouble. I heard that several companies from Hollywood sent people to Hong Kong Island to buy the copyright of "Infernal Affairs". Will you go see them later?"

Chen Li shook his head when he heard this and said, "Don't you really want to see me?"

Now it was Liu Wanxin's turn to be surprised: "You don't want to sell it!?"

"Why sell it?"

"For...for" Liu Wanxin drew it to her lips and couldn't say it.

In the hotel conference room, five foreigners in suits were quarreling at the conference table with red faces.

They come from five well-known film companies in Yingjiang. They came here mainly because they saw the potential of the movie "Infernal Affairs" and planned to buy the rights to remake it.

"I said Robert, doesn't your company still have many film projects being scheduled? Why are you extending your hands so far this time?"

"Johnny, your company is not the only one with good vision. Since everyone is here for this movie, it depends on their own abilities."

"Haha, what's the point of you arguing? The director of our company has met Chen Li once, we chatted for a few words, and I also call Allen and I brothers. Why did you win me over?"

"Please, it's nothing more than profit. I don't believe you can offer a higher price than me."

"Let's wait until Director Chen comes over. It's useless for you to argue now."
