Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 269 Please Join Warner
"If you have something to say, don't get too excited."

Lin Daoqiu looked very calm, even though he could more or less guess what Kars was going to say.

"Yesterday's box office came out, and "Mission Impossible" won 400 million in box office revenue on the first day."

The box office of Two Thousand Halls won 400 million on the first day. This record should not be very good. Lin Daoqiu couldn't figure out why Kars was so happy.

When Kars saw Lin Daoqiu's appearance, he knew that he hadn't spoken clearly.

If you only look at the box office on the first day, the show can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, but the news that came later is what really excited Kars.

"The news just came from the movie theater that the pre-sale situation has increased by five times compared to yesterday, and today's box office revenue is expected to exceed [-] million."

Lin Daoqiu wiped his face with a towel, and he looked very calm, but in fact his heart was already too excited.

This movie has been released in Asia for so long, and it has only broken through 3000 million US dollars. Unexpectedly, it has won more than 1000 million box office in North America after two days of release.

This made Lin Daoqiu didn't know what to say, but it must be something to be happy about.

"Originally, George and I estimated that the box office of this drama would get 3000 million in the first week, which is already very good, but it seems that our judgment is still too conservative."

As long as the word-of-mouth of this show does not collapse, I believe that more and more people will enter the show, and even Kars is now looking forward to the possibility of breaking 2000 million in a single day.

"If I want to achieve that result, I'm afraid I'll have to talk to Ashley."

Richardson came in suddenly.

Lin Daoqiu and Kars looked at each other, and then both of them laughed.

"I think some people's faces will definitely stink this time."

Kars couldn't help laughing happily when he thought of David's deflated appearance.

After all, that guy is really too arrogant, I believe that the lesson this time should let him know what it means to have someone beyond others.

On this day, Warner's exception was held as usual, but compared with before, David looked a little absent-minded today.

The box office results of "Mission Impossible" have been released, and today's preliminary estimate can reach at least 1000 million.

David had always looked down on this drama before, but he didn't expect it to surprise him in just one day.

Originally, he didn't want to participate in today's regular meeting, but if this were the case, wouldn't it mean that he admitted to being cowardly, so David still had to bite the bullet and participate in the end.

"I believe everyone already knows that the pre-sale of "Mission Impossible" has skyrocketed fivefold, and today's box office should be around 1000 million."

After Richardson finished speaking, no one at the scene raised any rebuttals, because this is basically a certainty.

"In view of the outstanding performance of this drama, I hope that the president can promote this drama in an all-round way. I think "Mission Impossible" can finally win a box office of over [-] million."

The most important thing for a movie is its stamina. If you don’t add screens and increase publicity at this time, it will be tantamount to pushing out the money you put into your hands.

In fact, Ashley had already decided before coming here that he would add 2000 yuan to the screen and increase the promotion efforts.

Even if Richardson doesn't say Ashley, he has decided to do this, because this movie must be Warner's highest-grossing movie this year.

"David, I'm going to put Kars in charge of the promotion of this play."

After hearing this, David raised his head in surprise. He opened his mouth and just wanted to say something, but he couldn't get the words out of his mouth.

Because this time he can be said to have lost completely, and he has no chance to struggle at all, and now he will only be ridiculed if he says more.

"I'm OK."

After David finished speaking, he lowered his head silently. Now he looks like a loser.

Ashley didn't intend to comfort David, after all, he did it on his own.

If it is Richardson who is failing now, I believe David will not let him go easily.

"If that's the case, let's go down and do things."

Ashley's mood today can be said to be very good, because this drama has the hope of competing for the annual box office championship.

Although this is a Xiangjiang movie, and it is also starring Chinese women, what does it matter.

For Ashley and Warner, whether a movie can make money is the most important thing.

As for other things, they can only be put aside. For them, it is a good movie for the audience to buy tickets.

…………

When Warner announced the news of the addition of [-] fast screens, "Mission Impossible" began to make its debut in Hollywood.

On the second day, the box office revenue exceeded 1000 million U.S. dollars, and this was the result before the screen was added.

By the third day, with both newspaper and TV promotions, "Mission: Impossible" had broken through $800 million at the box office.

In just three days, this movie has earned a box office of 3000 to [-] million U.S. dollars, which has surpassed all movies released in the same period, ranking first at the box office.

As the leading actor of this play, Brigitte Lin has been arranged by Warner to appear on TV or receive promotions from newspapers and magazines these days.

All of a sudden, Lin Qingxia's name began to be recognized by more and more people.

And those fans who have seen "Mission Impossible" affectionately refer to Lin Qingxia as Rebecca, because that is her name in the movie.

However, compared to Brigitte Lin's busy schedule, Lin Daoqiu was more relaxed, because he didn't like accepting interviews and going on TV.

So Lin Daoqiu just stayed by Brigitte Lin's side these days, and he didn't appear in any newspapers, magazines or TV screens.

However, although Lin Daoqiu is very low-key, it does not mean that he can continue to relax like this.

That day Ashley suddenly called Lin Daoqiu and asked him to meet.

"Mr. Lin, this is the freshest Ceylon black tea brought in by air, please have a taste."

Ashley invited Lin Daoqiu to his private villa.

Although Lin Daoqiu didn't know what Ashley wanted to do with him, he believed that it probably had something to do with the movie.

""Mission Impossible" has already broken through 6000 million box office, and we all unanimously believe that the final box office score of this drama will definitely exceed [-] million."

As soon as Ashley said this, he couldn't help showing a smug expression on his face.

You must know that before he took over Warner, this was just a small company.

It was Ashley who helped parking lot and funeral tycoon Stephen Ross acquire Warner Bros.

And he also became the new chairman and CEO of Warner Corporation at that time, and ten years have passed in a blink of an eye.

"I believe that Mr. Lin has seen the power of Hollywood. I invited you here today because I want to invite you to join Warner Bros. to make movies for us."
