Chapter 158 Such box office results

Some candidates are lucky.

The exam dates for elective courses and major courses were close together, and they were all completed in less than a week.

Some candidates are unlucky as there is a gap of more than 20 days between the first and last exams, which invisibly adds a lot of psychological burden to them.

This leads to.

Some people have already started to rejoice, celebrating that they have finally escaped from the high school life of attending classes all day, and are busy looking for holiday destinations to travel to and relax for a few days.

Many students are still studying hard to prepare for the exam.

I hope I can cram last minute and get a better grade in the exam.

Fan Wumian's luck is just okay.

After taking the four major subjects of English, Chinese, Mathematics and General Education, the next geography exam is scheduled for three days later.

There is a gap of 9 days between the first exam and the last exam.

Since the Beijing Film Academy only needs to look at the grades of four major courses, he has actually finished the exams in advance and has no psychological burden at all.

However, in order to avoid getting zero in one subject and causing ridicule from the media, Fan Wumian decided to continue the exam.

I also want to see what kind of school I can get into in Hong Kong based on my learning results over the past seven or eight months.

The interview was briefly completed.

He was picked up by a bodyguard who worked part-time as a driver in a brand new white convertible Porsche Carrera GT.

Because it is a car sponsored by the brand for free.

Fan Wumian doesn't mind showing up in public and helping with advertising.

The price of this sports car in Hong Kong is as high as 398 million Hong Kong dollars, and the official price in the Mainland is as high as 645 million yuan. There are no major faults with its style and performance, and it is Porsche's current flagship supercar.

As a celebrity with huge traffic and exposure, many things in daily life can be sponsored by brands, which is an additional career benefit.

Unfortunately, there is never a shortage of celebrity and wealthy businessmen buyers for his favorite top luxury cars like the Rolls-Royce Phantom and Ferrari Enzo, so naturally there is no need for Fan Wumian to help with advertising.

If he wanted to buy it, the best he could do was to get an internal discount price.

Cars are just consumer products.

Since there is a chance to get something for nothing, whether it is his favorite style or not is not that important to him.

Listening to the humming sound of the engine, Fan Wumian began to wonder when he could find the time to take a driver's license test.

Sitting in the passenger seat.

I sent messages to Zhuang Muxi and Zuo Ziyan respectively, asking them how they did in the exam.

During this time, I also saw several text messages sent by Ji Qiao, which contained the latest box office data of "A Quiet Place".

In overseas markets.

This phenomenal science fiction thriller has been released for a month and a half and has grossed more than 2 million U.S. dollars.

It successfully triggered a movie-watching craze in Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and North America.

日韩的票房数据，分别超过了1亿9000万港币和7300万港币，北美票房超过了1亿9200万美元。

On the movie rating website "Rotten Tomatoes", audiences gave it an extremely high rating of 97% for freshness, crushing a number of Hollywood movies released in theaters at the same time.

For example, the second part of the famous "The Mask" has a Rotten Tomatoes score of only 13%.

And that's just the box office revenue.

Miramax Films' total profit this time is estimated to exceed $1 million. Unfortunately, Fan Wumian will not get a share of the money earned.

When he signed the contract, he retained the overseas digital copyright of "A Quiet Place 1", but it will not be of much value for the time being.

Here on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.

The box office of "A Quiet Place" in Hong Kong has reached 5940 million Hong Kong dollars.

Many cinemas will show the film once every night, and increase the number to two shows on weekends. It is only a hair's breadth away from the HK$6127 million revenue of "Kung Fu", and the outside world generally predicts that it has a chance to surpass it.

The total box office in Formosa Boulevard and Macau was approximately HK$6260 million.

Movie tickets in the mainland are cheap and there are omissions in statistics, but thanks to its huge population base, it still achieved box office revenue of 1 million yuan.

Compared with Stephen Chow's record-breaking "Kung Fu", it is also only a step away.

As a newcomer, he directed and acted in the film himself.

Such box office results completely shocked countless people.

Not to mention the overseas box office. Looking at all the directors of Chinese-language films, every one of them, at least their box office performance is not as good as "A Quiet Place".

to be frank.

Fan Wumian himself had not anticipated this.

I thought that a box office of 1000- million US dollars overseas would be very good, so I set the initial psychological price of overseas distribution rights at around million US dollars. I didn't consider the markets in Mainland China and Hong Kong. Science fiction thrillers are not popular here, so I thought that a total of - million Hong Kong dollars would be great.

Who knew that "A Quiet Place" would first become a big hit abroad, and be highly praised by the media, and then it would trigger a wave of movie-watching in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, giving him an unexpected surprise.

Luck is here, and it is unstoppable.
Put away your phone.

The convertible sports car Carrera GT drove through the slightly chilly tunnel towards the mansion at No. 89 Repulse Bay Road.

Fan Wumian made small talk and asked the bodyguard who was busy driving:
"Brother Qian, have you seen the movie A Quiet Place in which I acted?"

"I've seen it a long time ago. My son and daughter went to their grandmother's house, and my wife and I went out on a date, so we bought tickets for your movie. Before, I only knew that you were a good singer, but after watching the movie, I realized that you're also a great filmmaker. I've never seen such a quiet movie theater."

The bodyguard Brother Qian, whose real name is Qian Ziyu, is 36 years old this year.

He has a square face and is neither tall nor short. He once worked in the Flying Tigers, but resigned in 97 because he offended his white boss.

In 1998, I partnered with a few friends to open a small private security company, which now has only eight employees.

Market demand is limited, so we don’t seek to become bigger or stronger, we just want to make a living.

Many celebrities who go out to perform to make money and businessmen who hold events all ask their company to be responsible for security. They have a very good reputation in Hong Kong. Except for the relatively high prices, there is nothing wrong with them in other aspects.

Fan Wumian smiled and said:
"My movie doesn't have much sound, and even the slightest noise from the audience would be irritating to others. There was even a fight between the audience that made the news. I will soon start preparing for the second A Quiet Place, and I am having a headache over how to write the script."

"You are so talented, this will definitely not be a problem for you."

Brother Qian replied politely.

I guess I felt it was too perfunctory, so I asked Fan Wumian:

"I seem to have seen a report in the newspaper that the owners of Disney and Miramax Pictures are splitting up, and you are involved?"

"It's not a big deal. Miramax Films just changed its management and was completely taken over by Disney Group."

Fan Wumian's tone is very Buddhist:
"I will still cooperate with Miramax Films. The previously signed agreement will not change. Someone has already been sent to communicate with me."

This is what happened last week.

The cause of the whole separation incident was that last year, the Weinstein brothers, the management of Miramax, released the documentary "Fahrenheit 911/" despite the opposition of Disney Group executives, which attracted the attention of some "deep crocodiles" and put a lot of pressure on Disney, forcing it to come forward and make a statement.

As a result of the separation, the Weinstein brothers received $1 million in cash compensation, while Disney took over Miramax Films and its library of more than 3000 films.

Fan Wumian also has a new contract for "A Quiet Place", and it will stay at Miramax, which is almost equivalent to completely starting to cooperate with the Disney Group.

Due to the box office miracle of "A Quiet Place", it is said that the new CEO of Disney Group personally inquired about the filming of "A Quiet Place 2" and had no objection to the previously signed "US$3000 million guarantee + 7.5% total box office share" agreement and chose to continue to implement it.

It is probably because they are very optimistic about "A Quiet Place 2" and asked Fan Wumian to ask them for help if he encounters any trouble.

The newly appointed CEO of Miramax also wants to rely on Fan Wumian, the cash cow, to prove his own value to the executives of the parent company Disney.

In order to encourage Fan Wumian to work harder and finish filming "A Quiet Place 2" as soon as possible, he also made a promise that he would make cameo appearances in other movies invested by Miramax.

It is equivalent to giving some benefits in disguise, as they are worried that Fan Wumian will be poached by the Weinstein brothers.

Because the two parties are in a cooperative relationship.

A new official may make many big moves upon taking office, but Fan Wumian won't be affected by them, so he can just choose to stay out of it.

Chatting with bodyguard Brother Qian, I arrived at the mansion at No. 89 in Repulse Bay.

The hired security guard was supervising the workers in the back garden. A small excavator had already dug a large rectangular pit for the outdoor swimming pool, which was 18 meters long and 8 meters wide.

The shrubs have been moved flat, and once the swimming pool is completed, the lawn can be laid, which will be suitable for walking around and hosting small events at home in the future.

Before, I was busy trying to become famous and make money, so I didn’t need to have frequent contact with colleagues in the circle.

Having recently slowed down his pace of life, Fan Wumian finally decided to expand his social circle. Take Chen Yisen for example, he even called him personally two months ago and invited him to play tennis together.

However, at that time, he was busy working on "A Quiet Place" and had to decline the offer.

The entertainment industry may seem glamorous, but it is actually a fiercely competitive arena of fame and fortune. The market size is limited, and there are too many wolves and too little meat to go around.

Compared to mutual cooperation which makes everyone happy, intrigue is the main theme in the circle. If you look at Stephen Chow, you will find that you don’t necessarily have to be a social expert with friends everywhere.

Just happened to be free.

He lay on the sofa at home for a while and called Eason Chen himself.

After the call was connected, he smiled and said, "Hi, Brother Sen? I'm Fan Wumian. Are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you for dinner."

It was already past 5pm.

Chen Yisen said with a smile on the other end of the phone:

"The little king came to me, how could a flop singer like me not give him face? Unfortunately, I already have an appointment with two friends."

"Otherwise, just come over to us."

"I'm treating everyone to dinner tonight, and it's all people from my circle, and the location is Jumbo Seafood Restaurant. You really know how to pick the time, you didn't contact me earlier or later, but you called me just when I ordered a serving of Emperor Fried Rice today."
