Chapter 435

After the premiere in Beijing, in order to maximize the box office, the main creative team split up into three ways to promote it that night.

Cheng Yu'an took Yang Mi and Huang Bo's team to Beijing; Hu Ge took Da Zheng Shuang, Ren Dahua and Lu Jingshan's team to Shanghai and Jinling; Jackie Chan took Yang Yang, Wang Kai, and Wan Qian to the southern market.

Yang Mi's nervousness reached its climax after the premiere, and he had paid 99 prayers, only shivering.

She believed in Cheng Yu'an's box office appeal, but the opponents in the same period were too strong.

Yang Mi woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep after that. She put on her clothes and wanted to go to the hotel cafe for a drink.

There are no ghosts in the coffee shop now, but she still found Cheng Yu'an sitting there by the window.

"Cheng Dao." Yang Mi took a cup of coffee and walked up.

Cheng Yu'an looked up to see her, and said, "I can't sleep."

"Yeah." Yang Mi sat down opposite, "What about you? You can't sleep either?"

Cheng Yuan admitted: "Yes, after all, we are facing "Titanic" and "Super Battleship". It is one thing to have confidence, but you should still be worried."

Yang Mi sat there, chatting with Cheng Yu'an casually. She didn't have much contact with Cheng Yu'an, and the boss was really hard to see.

But it doesn't mean she has no idea about Cheng Yu'an.

Billionaire, Oscar's best director, master of Hollywood tickets.

The point is, he is only 30 years old!Still single!
Didn't you marry Liu Yifei yet? Why aren't you single?
Yang Mi sipped his coffee, feeling that he was still too nervous, so he took out the cigarette case from his body and lit one: "One?"

Cheng Yu'an waved his hand: "I don't smoke."

There are very few celebrities who don't smoke, and Cheng Yu'an is not surprised by this.

Yang Mi told Cheng Yuan about his worries after going out independently. Cheng Yuan told her: "It's actually good to start your own company and be the boss. You will have more freedom to take plays. Now that you are in the company, you will pass the script before it is in your hands." You have to go through the hands of the agent or even the production team of the company’s literature department. Some films that you want to act but the company doesn’t like will be rejected, but the company can’t judge everything accurately. In the future, the crew will come to you directly, and you can work with your own team Judge for yourself, it's fine.

"Besides, let's be realistic. The company's productions will definitely require you to ask for less salary. Your salary for foreign movies has already reached 2000 million. The company's production team will definitely suppress your salary in order to control costs."

Yang Mi said softly: "As long as the show is good, I can take less money."

"It's still the same sentence. The company also hopes that you will be well, make money and make good movies. Aren't you going to cooperate with Brother Hua in "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" in a few days? Cherish this opportunity."

Cheng Yu'an can't just say that this is an epic bad movie.

"Besides, the company doesn't ignore you anymore, doesn't it still hold the shares of your company, I definitely hope that you will become more and more popular."

"Although you have left, the company will always be your home. If there is a suitable scene, you will definitely be considered as soon as possible."

The two sat facing each other and chatted for half an hour. Cheng Yu'an finally said, "It's very late, go back to sleep. Tomorrow we have to run a whole day of publicity."

Cheng Yu'an and Yang Mi got up and left the coffee shop together to take the elevator.

"Good night, Director Cheng."

"Good night."

…………

As a result, the two made headlines early the next morning:

"Cheng Yu'an met Yang Mi at night, and we had a great conversation."

It's still night in the United States, so Liu Yifei probably hasn't seen any domestic news yet.

Cheng Yuan was so angry that he made a phone call to Weibo:
"Which reporter did it?"

"Mr. Cheng, I'm sorry. The person who posted this news is a newcomer who just entered the industry and doesn't understand anything."

Generally, this kind of news is either directly strangled from the source remotely, or suppressed for a few days for marketing.

Yang Mi didn't expect to be photographed, so he had to respond on Weibo:

"I couldn't sleep that night because of the nervousness of the movie release, so I passed the time in the hotel cafe. I happened to meet Cheng Dao, so we sat down and chatted. Yifei and I are good sisters, so we wouldn't do such a thing. I hope that the reporter friends Don't tell lies."

It may also be because of the news about the two of them. In the afternoon, the first-day data of "Alliance of Thieves" was released, which was actually not bad.

Including zero points, "Alliance of Thieves" received 3300 million box office on the first day.

It is not easy to get this result under the siege of "Titanic" and "Super Battleship".

This is Cheng Yu'an, the title of "Oscar Best Director" is really useful.

""Thieves" hit 3300 million on the first day, and it was a success."

"In other schedules, with the appeal of director Cheng Yu'an, 3300 million on the first day can only be regarded as a normal performance, but with Hollywood's support and the collective failure of domestic films of the same schedule, "Thieves" can achieve such a high performance. The good results are really a shot in the arm for the sluggish domestic film market."

"Affected by "Thieves", "Titanic" and "Super Battleship" received 1300 million and 558 million box office respectively yesterday, the lowest single-day record since the release of the two films. "Thieves" successfully sniped Hollywood Tiger!"

""Thieves" is Cheng Yu'an's first film released after the Oscars. The first day of its release caused a frenzy among audiences. Although the first day was a weekday Thursday, there were still long queues for tickets at the gates of the theaters."

"Fang Bin, general manager of Golden Harvest Cinemas, said in an interview that the release of "Thieves" gave audiences more room to choose films. It was very unexpected that they could score 3300 million on the first day in such a difficult schedule," It’s what a blockbuster movie should be.”

"Jiang Xuerou, Chief Producer of Remote Media, said in an interview that the results of "Thief" were within the company's expectations. "Titanic" has been released for more than two weeks, and the box office potential has almost been squeezed out by the market. The good results are due to the fact that there are too few good films to choose from on the market, and after a week of screenings of "Super Battleship", the audience has already understood that this is actually the ordinary industrial standard of Hollywood, but "Transformers" has changed its shell. , the lower box office is also predictable.”

While the box office is booming, audiences and film critics also have mostly positive comments on "Thieves".

Well-known film critics Zhou Liming and Shi Hang praised "The Thief" as "the perfect template for an action movie".

"Cheng Yu'an is very good at judging the emotions and preferences of the audience. On average, "Thieves" will have a big or small breakout point every 10 minutes, which fully meets the viewing needs of ordinary audiences and actor fans."

"The fans of Yang Mi and Brother Hu are the most powerful supporters of "Thieves". There are private viewing parties organized by fans of the two all over the country."

With the results of the first day, the film schedule of "Thieves" increased from 27% on the first day to 38% on the second day, which largely squeezed out the film schedule of "Titanic", which was released for two weeks.

On the next Friday, "Thieves" ushered in a breakthrough at the box office, earning 5200 million yuan, triple the box office of "Titanic".

All theaters have adjusted their film schedules, and theater managers have also expressed that "Thieves" has achieved initial success in attacking Hollywood. According to the trend of the past two days, breaking 4 million in 2 days in the first weekend is a certainty, and we look forward to a better performance in the holidays.

And the pressure came to "Killing", which was released two days after "Thieves".

Brother Hu and Ren Dahua also starred, and specially took time out of the promotion of "Thieves" to attend the premiere of "Killing".

Guan Hu was sitting backstage at the premiere, his heart was pounding, he had never been so nervous before.
