Chapter 303: Breaking the 2 million mark in 5 days, and reaching 3 million in days, the box office

Chapter 303: Breaking the 2 million mark in 5 days, and reaching 3 million in days, the box office

Cracked.

Everyone in the entire circle, whether it is top directors, big stars, or big investors.

Every one of them was torn apart.

I was either stunned or dumbfounded, and couldn't believe this data at all.

This is 5500 million!

Looking at the entire history of Chinese entertainment, including mainland films and imported Hollywood blockbusters, there has never been a film that was so explosive.

Even Source Code, the box office champion in Chinese film history, with a total box office of more than 7 million yuan, only grossed 3452 million yuan on the first day.

Even Feng Xiaogang's "Aftershock", which had a total box office of 6.73 million yuan, only took in 3620 million yuan on the first day.

Even "Avatar," which shocked everyone by grossing 13.39 billion yuan, only grossed 3604 million yuan on its first day!

But now?

The first-day box office of "The Witch" not only surpassed these three films, but also surpassed them in a crushing manner.

Left far behind.

It directly crossed the 4000 million mark and entered the 5000 million mark in one fell swoop.

It’s 2000 million more than the first-day box office of these hit movies!
What is this concept?
terrible!
How terrible!
"Avatar" grossed over 3604 billion with 10 million yuan. Doesn't this mean that "Witch" is also likely to break 10 billion yuan?
Although it took three months for "Avatar" to reach the box office of 13.39 billion, don't forget that "Avatar" also made more than 9 million in the first month.

Not to mention, the first-day box office of "The Witch" was nearly 2000 million more than that of Avatar.

So no matter how you calculate it, the possibility of "The Witch"'s total box office exceeding 10 billion is very, very high.

hiss!
When thinking of this, countless people couldn't help but gasp.

A box office of 10 billion yuan has never been seen in the history of Chinese entertainment.

This is a brand new chapter!

Although "Avatar" has brought Chinese-language films into the billion-dollar era, everyone in the industry also believes that Chinese-language films will truly join this ranks sooner or later.

But now, will this era come so early?
Everyone in the circle's hearts subconsciously jumped up, and all pairs of eyes were fixed on "The Witch" without blinking.

Waiting to witness the arrival of this miracle.

"5500 million, this is too much!"

Feng Xiaogang, the top mainland director, couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Although he knew that Zhou Qing's movie "The Witch" would definitely do well at the box office and would definitely be a big hit.

After all, this movie is not only directed by Zhou Qing, but also has many powerful buff bonuses.

Apart from anything else, the fact that it is mainland China's own superhero movie is enough to attract a large number of audiences to the cinema.

Feng Xiaogang estimated that the box office of "The Witch" would definitely not be worse than that of "Source Code".

But even so, the 5500 million really touched Feng Xiaogang's heart.

Feng Xiaogang never dared to imagine that the first-day box office of "The Witch" would be so high!
It was so high that even Feng Xiaogang felt powerless.

After the box office success of Aftershock, Feng Xiaogang was actually very proud and even felt very proud for a while.

He had always been far behind Zhou Qing in the past, but he caught up with Zhou Qing with "Aftershock".

Although the box office of 6.73 million yuan did not surpass that of "Source Code", the gap is not that big, and they are completely on the same order of magnitude.

This gave Feng Xiaogang great confidence.

It made Feng Xiaogang feel that he could compete with Zhou Qing.

Although he did not actively hype this aspect, Feng Xiaogang was secretly trying to do so.

I want to compare my "If You Are the One 2" with Zhou Qing's "The Witch".

It is full of lofty ambitions.

The result now?

A basin of cold water was poured directly on Feng Xiaogang's forehead, making him completely silent and melancholy.

No matter how confident and sure he was, he didn't believe that "If You Are the One 2" could make 10 billion yuan.

You have to know that "If You Are the One 1" only made 3 million yuan.

This really makes it difficult for Feng Xiaogang to have any hope again.

Is it possible that this time, Zhou Qing will leave him far behind again?

"Third Master really got it right. Zhou Qing's "Witch" can really break 10 billion!"

Jiang Wen, who had always been so proud, was also shocked and couldn't keep calm.

The extremely high first-day box office of 5500 million also far exceeded Jiang Wen's expectations.

Judging from the first day's box office, there will be almost no problem for "The Witch" to break 10 billion in total box office.

You should know that since Zhou Qing made his debut until now, the quality of the many films he has shot is very high, and he has always had strong stamina.

Others may not be able to break 10 billion on the first day box office, after all, there is a possibility of collapse.

But this is absolutely impossible in Zhou Qing's films.

Jiang Wen believes that the final box office of "The Witch" can really exceed 10 billion.

pressure!

In an instant, Jiang Wen felt tremendous pressure.

Although he is confident about his "Let the Bullets Fly", he is not confident enough to think that it can make 10 billion at the box office.

So this time, I won’t be able to defeat Zhou Qing in the end?
No no no no!

Jiang Wen encouraged herself again and again in her heart, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't muster up the confidence.

10 billion level, Jiang Wen really couldn’t imagine it.

"5500 million, isn't that too high, Zhou Qing? We have set a new record again!"

Liu Yifei was so excited that she almost jumped up, and her voice rose several octaves with excitement.

It's impossible not to be excited.

This girl is the lead actress of "The Witch".

In addition, "The Witch" is a serious movie with a female lead, and the heroines are different from those in other movies.

Then the biggest benefit of the entire movie is naturally to Liu Yifei.

When Liu Yifei thought about the fact that the movie she starred in alone could achieve such explosive results, her breathing subconsciously became faster.

"Yifei, you are really going to go to the sky this time. I'm afraid this movie will break 10 billion, right?"

Zhu Yawen was so envious and jealous that he stared at Liu Yifei with burning eyes.

The first movie in the history of Chinese entertainment to break 10 billion, what does this mean?
This is something that will go down in film history, and in a big close-up.

As the heroine, Liu Yifei received unimaginable benefits.

"Two billion."

Liu Yifei repeated the number subconsciously and felt her heart beating faster.

"Zhou Qing, do you think it's possible for "Witch" to break 10 billion?"

The girl then confirmed with Zhou Qing with an even more scorching gaze.

“I think it’s quite possible.”

Facing Liu Yifei's gaze, Zhou Qing gave a very optimistic answer.

Liu Yifei's heart beat even faster, and it almost jumped out of her chest.

If this is true, Liu Yifei would be really rich.

His net worth and influence in the circle will reach an even more terrifying level.

"By then, Sister Yifei will be the first female lead in the Chinese entertainment industry to earn a billion-dollar box office!"

Zhao Liying gave Liu Yifei her best wishes, and she herself was also looking forward to this day very much.

Although she is only a supporting role in Witch, she actually has quite a lot of screen time.

The huge success of "The Witch" actually brought great benefits to Zhao Liying.

"A billion-dollar box office heroine, my goodness."

Huang Bo couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

This kind of thing is really unthinkable.

The female lead of a billion-dollar box office movie! She is also the first in Chinese entertainment!

Upon hearing this name, Liu Yifei immediately felt the blood in her body boiling and she couldn't hold it back at all.

This honor is really too great.

The only question is, can "The Witch" really break 10 billion as it wishes?

Judging from the box office trends in the next few days, Liu Yifei feels that the possibility is quite high.

Because after "The Witch" earned 5500 million on the first day, the subsequent box office performance was also extremely explosive.

The box office reached a new level on the second day, directly reaching 5920 million, and the total box office in two days exceeded million!
That’s right, one billion is the ceiling number for most domestic movies, but “The Witch” broke it in just two days.

All the colleagues in the industry were simply dumbfounded.

Isn't this momentum a bit too vigorous?

Not only that, in the next three days, "The Witch" earned 6109 million, 6254 million and 6447 million respectively.

In just 5 days, the total box office of "The Witch" exceeded 3 million!

hiss!
There were gasps everywhere in the circle.

Do you know what a box office of 3 million means?
So far, the number of movies in the 3 million club in the entire history of Chinese entertainment films can be counted on one hand.

Feng Xiaogang has been making movies all his life, and after so many years, he finally made a movie called "If You Are the One".

The total box office has just broken 3 million.

But "Witch" achieved this achievement in just 5 days.

This means that "The Witch" defeated "If You Are the One" in just 5 days.

The impact this had on the hearts of everyone in the circle was so huge that it is simply indescribable in words.

"Not bad, not bad."

Zhou Qing was so satisfied with the box office performance that his face was full of smiles.

The whole person felt indescribably refreshed, as if there was a breeze in his steps.

The chances of breaking 10 billion are getting bigger and bigger.

He will become the first director in the domestic entertainment industry to achieve box office revenue of over 10 billion!

How could Zhou Qing not be happy?

"Director Zhou, it's time to set off."

When he was in a good mood, the assistant knocked on Zhou Qing's office door to remind him.

Zhou Qing then nodded and responded, picked up his coat, and drove out in a hurry.

why go?
Attend the Golden Horse Awards Ceremony.

Before we knew it, the Golden Horse Awards has reached the crucial day to announce the final results.

Speaking of the Golden Horse Awards, Zhou Qing has actually not participated in several sessions.

Either I'm filming, doing post-production, or busy with other things.

But this year is different.

Not to mention that "Source Code" is the biggest favorite to win the Golden Horse Awards, Zhou Qing has nothing to worry about.

Of course I won't be absent.

"Director Zhou, congratulations on the box office success of "The Witch."

"It's great that The Witch is selling so well."

When he arrived at the Golden Horse Awards venue, Zhou Qing instantly became the most handsome guy in the crowd.

Wherever he went, he was surrounded by warm blessings and congratulations, and overwhelmed by enthusiastic and admiring gazes.

First, "Source Code" led the awards season, and then "Witch" was a box office hit.

With the blessing of this double light, Zhou Qing's aura really reached its peak.

The kind that is bright enough to blind people.

No one can compete with Zhou Qing, and everyone pales in comparison.

"Thank you."

"Happy together."

Zhou Qing had a bright and warm smile on his face the whole time, and greeted everyone politely and enthusiastically.

He definitely doesn't put on airs just because he's at the top of the domestic entertainment industry.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhou Qing, the top director in mainland China, is actually quite easy-going.

But even so, considering Zhou Qing's current level, those ordinary actors dare not disturb him easily.

"Director Zhou, congratulations! Source Code is definitely the biggest winner tonight."

Qin Hao's appearance surprised Zhou Qing.

Speaking of this guy, he has played the leading role of Zhou Qing twice in a row.

The films he starred in, "Departures" and "La La Land", were both box office hits and won three major awards.

The resume is still very impressive, it can be said to be a perfect start.

Who would have thought that he would become almost unknown after getting mixed up in the world.

He should be considered the actor with the worst development among all those actors made famous by Zhou Qing, no doubt about it.

But anyway, Qin Hao is different from ordinary actors. He has his own pursuits.

"Congratulations to you too, Qin Hao. You are the best actor this year."

Zhou Qing smiled and exchanged greetings with Qin Hao.

That’s right, Qin Hao was nominated for Best Actor at this year’s Golden Horse Awards.

Although the beginning was different due to Zhou Qing's intervention, Qin Hao still performed Lou Ye's "A Night of Intoxicated Spring Breeze" after many twists and turns.

Zhou Qing had also met Qin Hao at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival.

At that time, "Spring Breeze Intoxicated Night" won the Best Screenplay Award, but Lou Ye was obviously not satisfied, so he ran to the Golden Horse Awards for another sprint.

"If I win, I'm lucky. If I lose, I'm doomed. The other nominated leading actors also performed well."

Qin Hao smiled and seemed quite calm.

However, as a reborn person, Zhou Qing knew that it was very unlikely that Qin Hao would win the Best Actor award.

He didn't get it in the original time and space, and now because of his rebirth, he has a new competitor, Duan Yihong.

The possibility of winning is even lower by three points.

"Director Zhou!"

"Director Feng!"

Feng Xiaogang is here too.

His "Aftershock" also received three nominations, including the heavyweight nomination for Best Actress.

In addition, the nominee is his wife Xu Fan, so it is not surprising that Feng Xiaogang appears.

"Director Zhou, your "Witch" really scared everyone."

Feng Xiaogang and Zhou Qing are familiar with each other, and he started off with a joke, with an uncontrollable sour taste.

How could he not be jealous? As a great director, he was really left behind by Zhou Qing. He couldn't even see his taillights.

"Isn't this because Director Feng's If You Are the One 2 hasn't been released yet?"

Zhou Qing chatted with Feng Xiaogang with a smile.

The two top directors' conversations and laughter attracted the attention of people around them.

"But to be honest, you, the actress of Source Code, are definitely no match for Xu Fan."

Feng Xiaogang then added this sentence in a joking tone.

Zhou Qing actually agrees with this.

Zeng Li's performance in "Source Code" can only be described as average, not particularly outstanding.

The main thing is that this role is just a tool and the room for development is extremely limited.

Although she was nominated for Best Actress, everyone knows that Zeng Li was just there to make up the numbers. (End of this chapter)
