You Made Me a Superstar

   Chapter 302 Box Office and Dawn

   "Director Huang, it's out, it's out, the box office is out!"

   "How much is "The Grandmaster" at the box office?"

   "Twenty million!"

   "Yes, yes! Good job! Good job!"

   Huang Jiacheng has been guarding the office, smoking one cigarette after another, the smoke lingers, making the whole office like a fairy mirror.

  The ground is full of dense cigarette butts and cigarette casings.

   The pre-sale tickets for "The Grandmaster" are very popular, and the overall national attendance rate is as high as 93%, which is another peak of his career so far.

   The box office will definitely not be too bad, and even today is very likely to break the box office history of Chinese movies!

However, Huang Jiacheng has been restless all the time. He watched various film reviews on the Internet over and over again, watched "The Master" gradually rise from 8.7 to 9.1 on Douban, and watched the number of reviews in just over ten hours. Over 20,000...

   The box office has not yet come out, everything is unknown, everything is variable!

   April 11th at 4am.

   There was finally a knock on the door outside the silent office.

   Immediately afterwards, Huang Jiacheng suddenly stood up from the chair. He saw the assistant rushed up with the box office data excitedly, his eyes were red, and the moment he handed the data report to him, the assistant cried on the spot.

   Huang Jiacheng threw away the cigarette in his mouth, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and took the report.

  When he saw the box office of "The Grandmaster" on its premiere day, even though he had made many movies, his hands were still shaking with excitement.

calm!

  Be calm!

   This is all to be expected.

   He kept reminding himself in his heart, but after all, he couldn't suppress the excitement and kept nodding his head.

"Director Huang! The record is broken, the record is broken, we have broken the record of the Chinese film, our film is not inferior to any old American film!" The assistant continued to shout while wiping away tears, even if the choking The smoke made him cough constantly, and he was still panting and shouting desperately.

   "Yes, it's broken, it's broken!"

  Huang Jiacheng gasped in his chest, put down the data, and then looked at the distant sky.

  The darkness before dawn is always cold and hopeless.

   Just like on that day more than 100 years ago, the Western powers bombarded the country with cannons and signed the "Nanjing Treaty".

  The rulers who were immersed in the beautiful dream of the heaven and the kingdom of heaven did not wake up because of this, but still enjoyed the gifts given to them by their rights.

   After that, he failed again and again, compromised again and again, and made concessions again and again. Instead of peace, what was exchanged was more vicious cannibalization, and finally he lost his power and humiliated the country.

   Those more than 100 years were an unbearable and extremely humiliating time.

   But after the darkness, the dawn comes, and the light of dawn dispels the gloom and despair, and it is full of vitality!

   "Dawn is coming!"

   The sky in the distance revealed a trace of fish maw white.

   Huang Jiacheng muttered to himself!

  …………………………

   "Grandmaster" 20 million box office!

   "Interstellar" 12 million!

   "Full City Golden Armor" 8 million!

   "Struggle" 7 million!

   The first 300,000 paintings in "Jinyiwei"...

   The first 200,000 paintings in "Mechanical Man"...

   April 11 morning.

  When the box office data was officially announced on the Internet, countless filmmakers were shocked when they saw the box office in disbelief.

a year ago!

  Hollywood blockbusters are almost like aircraft carriers in the hearts of all filmmakers.

   Often, after a Hollywood blockbuster confirms the schedule of the previous issue, those producers and directors who got the news first tried every means to change gears, explaining what it means to be afraid of the wind!

   It was like that when Superman came out, and it was like that when "Jurassic" came out...  

   Even when "Interstellar" was released, many people were also persuading Zhou Yilin not to be stupid and not to be in the same file as this "Monster"!

  In the early days, it was indeed the case. "The Golden Armor of the City" was indeed severely beaten by "Interstellar", and the box office was a big disappointment.

   In the exclamations of everyone, the Hollywood blockbuster "Interstellar" was brutal at the overseas box office, and it has sharpened its sword and even pointed to the movie "Jurassic" of the same period, showing its sharp edge!

However……

After the release of "Struggling", the Huaxia market, which should have been slaughtered and suppressed everything, was besieged. Not only did the box office fail to usher in the expected explosion, and even the popularity of the film circle was once given to "Struggling". Grab it, and even the box office of "Golden Armor in the City" has begun to pick up.

   "Struggling" and "Golden Armor in the City", the two films fought against "Interstellar" with the utmost tenaciousness, competing for box office and popularity. Although they were strong, they still could not stop the fierce offensive of "Interstellar".

With the premiere of "The Grandmaster", this situation has gradually changed. Under the siege of three films, the popularity of "Interstellar" has been completely suppressed. Although the box office is still good, it is still a high investment in "Interstellar". In other words, it has been a complete failure in the Huaxia market...

   "This is a major victory for Huaxia Films!"

   "In the history of Chinese movies, there has never been a scene where three movies attacked a Hollywood blockbuster at the same time!"

  “…”

  On Weibo, the famous painter Qilin wrote this line of words excitedly, and then, on this line of words, another picture was attached.

In the picture, a tiger descending the mountain is majestic and majestic with its teeth and claws, but not far away, there are three wild wolves. Although they are not as big as tigers, they have all their fangs and red eyes. They stare at the fierce tiger going down the mountain, as if to declare Sovereignty!

Once this Weibo was released, there were countless comments below, and countless netizens joined it, especially when it was matched with Zhou Yang's high-pitched and explosive voice in the song "Men Be Self-improvement", it made all the filmmakers excited, they ooh Yelling, I can't wait to clench my fists and punch Hollywood to let them know what a hot-blooded man is.

   "Times have changed!"

   In the Huaxia Movie Post Bar, someone sighed with emotion after sending out the box office data.

  …………………………

  The morning of April 11th.

  Relevant departments.

   Zhang Jianguo came out of the leadership office excitedly. This is the biggest and most successful project he has done since he took office.

   After returning to his office, he picked up the box office data and the pre-sale tickets for the next day again, looked at it carefully, and felt extremely happy in his heart.

   "Dong Dong Dong!"

"Come in!"

   "Secretary An, what's the matter?"

   "The Grand Master, as a Kung Fu film exported from China overseas, has been set for release in North America. On April 15th, pre-sale has been opened in some regions!"

   "Okay, how's the pre-sale result?"

   "It has surpassed "Heroes" and broke the new history of Chinese movies!"

   "So good?" Zhang Jianguo couldn't believe it after hearing the news.

   "Yes, Huo Yuanjie and Donnie Yen, as Chinese Kung Fu superstars, have a certain appeal in North America, and Zhou Yang..." An Xiao glanced down at the survey data, and her expression suddenly became a little weird.

"What's wrong?"

   "Zhou Yang is very popular among the black community. Many black girls regard Zhou Yang as a hero and are so crazy. Congressman Olsen is even crazy to recommend "The Master" on social platforms..."

   "Cough..." When Zhang Jianguo heard this sentence, he coughed slightly: "How is "Struggling" in Laomei?"

"It is still limited to release..." An Xiao hesitated for a while, then looked at Zhang Jianguo: "Zhang Ke, what is the current situation of Zhou Yang's "I'm Not the God of Medicine"? The script has been announced, why was it temporarily withdrawn? "

When Zhang Jianguo, who was originally smiling, heard the script of "I am not the God of Medicine", his face froze slightly, and then fell into a brief silence: "During the publicity period, an old leader immediately decided to withdraw after reading the script. There was just a meeting on this matter yesterday, and the script was scrutinized by several old leaders in turn, and finally it was temporarily suppressed..."

   "What do leaders mean?"

"The change of office in July, and several old leaders want to retire in peace. In fact, the script of "I am not a medicine god" is too shocking. The old leaders can't stand it after reading it. Great... In short, "I'm not the God of Medicine" is still being discussed at the meeting..." Zhang Jianguo hesitated for a while, then he was helpless.

   "Will you be promoted in July?" An Xiao was silent for a while, then looked at Zhang Jianguo.

   "I don't know... It depends on the meaning above."

  …………………………

Huaxing.

   Zhou Yang received the news that the script review of "I am not the God of Medicine" was called back.

An Xiao specifically told Zhou Yang on the phone not to film "I'm Not the God of Medicine" privately and go to overseas exhibitions like "The Bottom of the Mine". He also said that the script of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" can be approved, but it may take a little longer.

   Zhou Yang was also very sorry in his heart, but he also expressed understanding.

   In the original world, if there was no official background, such a script would not have been reviewed at all.

   When the leaders of this world are changing, many leaders are very cautious about the script of this movie.

   Just after Zhou Yang finished answering the phone, his cell phone rang.

   "Hello? Director Huang?"

"what are you doing?"

   "Huh? In the office."

   "Come down, I'm downstairs in your company..."

   "Huh? What?"

   "Celebration banquet! I'll come to pick you up in person, you deserve this face, right?"

"Forehead……"

  April is definitely a bright day for Huang Jiacheng.

   "The Grandmaster" has achieved such an amazing premiere. With Huang Jiacheng's attitude, it is natural to invite friends and companions to celebrate the occasion.

  The celebration banquet was held at the Yanjing International Hotel. Everyone in the crew, large and small, received an invitation letter from Huang Jiacheng. Many well-known media from the mainland and Hong Kong and Taiwan were invited.

   Zhou Yang is a great hero in the whole "Grandmaster", and Huang Jiacheng specially drove over to pick up Zhou Yang.

   After answering the phone, Zhou Yang went downstairs and got into Huang Jiacheng's car under the siege of countless reporters.

   Along the way, Huang Jiacheng's voice was very excited, spitting stars flew about his next plan, and even said the word "Hong Kong Island Movie" revival.

   Zhou Yang has been listening attentively by the side, nodding from time to time.

but……

   When Huang Jiacheng received a call, his originally excited expression froze for a moment, and then became extremely gloomy.

   "Director Huang, what's wrong?" Zhou Yang asked subconsciously after noticing Huang Jiacheng's expression.

   "Donnie Yen and Huo Yuanjie scolded..."

"what?"

   Along the way, Huang Jiacheng stopped talking more.

When the two of them walked to the Yanjing International Hotel, Zhou Yang saw countless reporters holding cameras, swarming around the entire building like a chicken blood, and Huang Jiacheng's assistant rushed over anxiously: "Huang Jiacheng Director, it's not good, the two of them fought inside!"
