Chapter 278 Billion
"Do you want to fly for a while longer? Liu Yifei opened her mouth slightly, with a surprised expression on her pretty white face, and then moved her arms down...

"It's not this flying! It's not this bullet!" Huo Yunting looked shocked, and then he jumped out of bed like a kite, "I'm talking about making this movie take another hit at the box office."

The announcement of "Charlotte Trouble" can only be said to be satisfactory. After all, a total of one million dollars was invested, mainly thanks to Jay Chou, Liu Dehua and other kings who supported the gimmick.

Now, those who are willing to watch "Charlotte Troubles" include one group who are here for the King of Heaven, another group who are fans of the drama Happy Twist, and another group who are die-hard fans of Huo Yunting and Liu Yifei.

Not many people are really interested in the film "Charlotte" itself.

Liu Yifei grinned, "You're still flying. Do you understand why a three-year-old looks young and a seven-year-old looks old? The same goes for movies. Just look at the box office on the first day and you'll know what the follow-up will be like."

"Hey, let the bullets fly for a while."

"Tch, I still don't believe that there will be a day when you bury yourself in my arms and ask for comfort."

She bared her teeth.

It may be that what she said was too absolute, or it may be that Huo Yunting has already guessed the follow-up development.

In just one day, the box office of "Charlotte" soared like a rocket.

The single-day box office the next day was 400 million.

Hearing the news reported by Zhang Debang, Huo Yunting breathed a sigh of relief and smiled on his face.

Liu Yifei looked shocked as she stared at the data table. She counted on her fingers for a long time, but she couldn't figure it out.

"Why is there such a big difference in the box office between the two days before and after? It's just one day, how can the increase be so exaggerated?"

"It's not like you haven't seen the original film since it was edited out. Why, isn't it worth the box office?"

“I think it’s worth it, but that doesn’t mean the audience also thinks it’s worth it.”

Looking at this box office data, Liu Yifei was puzzled.

Generally speaking, the box office on the first day can be used to predict the subsequent box office performance of the film. Even if it has potential, it will not double or triple in one fell swoop.

Huo Yunting didn't know much about how to calculate the box office, but he had some expectations that the box office would increase so high the next day.

Seeing Liu Yifei's puzzled look, Huo Yunting smiled, then called her over with a hooked finger and showed her some news.
"Shock!A king of a generation actually did such a thing in a movie! 》

"Shock!Liu Dehua actually killed Matt! 》

"Five Killing Matts Still Hide Such Easter Eggs?" 》

How much royalties did Charlotte Pain pay? 》

Looking at the endless headlines in the news media, Liu Yifei suddenly realized.

No wonder the box office of "Charlotte Trouble" can soar two or three times in just one day. Just look at the headline of this hotly searched news, and she would watch it too.

If nothing else, just take a look at these killer looks.

Then she took another look at the comments, and sure enough, it had exploded.

"I feel like my outlook on life has collapsed... Hua Zai's killer look..."

"Did Huo Yunting block a knife for Jay Chou? [Crying loudly] Why is he willing to wear a head of rainbow hair to cooperate with Huo Yunting in this film?"

"Why do I look at that yellow-haired man who looks a bit like Huo Yunting himself? His figure is also similar."

"You don't have to look like it, it's just that. That green hair is Ning Hao."

The comments below are rising almost exponentially, and there are already tens of thousands of discussions about the various easter eggs and plot in the film.

This film has become a hit.

Of course, this is also because there are too many golden sentences in "Charlotte's Trouble".

For example, if someone does something very stupid, then the following comment will definitely contain this sentence: Dashachun, what are you going to do?

Liu Yifei was dumbfounded while Huo Yunting looked at her with interest, "Now how much do you think the box office of this film can be?"

This time Liu Yifei didn't dare to say anything.

If this trend continues, the film "Charlotte Trouble" may really reach the five or six billion Yun said.

Even seven to eight billion is possible.

If this is done together, then this film has a chance to hit a box office of one billion!
How much did they bet?Oh, [-] million box office.

Moreover, the box office of the two movies is stacked together.

Now the box office of "Charlotte" is almost enough.

She has also watched Xu Zheng's "Lost in Thailand". Compared with "Charlotte", it has its own flavor. It will definitely have no problem earning hundreds of millions at the box office.

...Then I have lost this bet!

While she was thinking about it, Huo Yunting's voice sounded quietly in her ears, "How much box office did the two of us make at the beginning? Eight hundred million. Why do I feel like it's not very difficult?"

Liu Yifei's expression tightened, and then she shook her head in denial with a serious face, "Yes, it's [-] million, but it's [-] million for each of the two movies."

Huo Yunting was even more surprised, "You are asking too much to raise the price."

"You must have remembered it wrong." Liu Yifei said with a straight face and meticulous attention to detail.

Huo Yunting shrugged and did not argue with her, "Okay, eight hundred million is eight hundred million."

Looking at his calm and calm expression, Liu Yifei was a little unsure, and she felt a little panicked. She quickly said, "Well... each movie has one billion each!"

The smile at the corner of Huo Yunting's mouth dropped, and he hit her head with a few hard blows, "Xiao Nizi, don't go too far. It will be worth 20 billion in a while."

Liu Yifei grinned and rubbed her head, stuck out her tongue, and did not dare to say anything else.

On December [-], the box office of "Charlotte" in its first week was newly released, with a box office of [-] million, ranking first in the box office during the same period.

As soon as this result came out, not to mention Liu Yifei, even Huo Yunting himself did not expect it.

He knew that the results of "Charlotte Troubles" might not be too bad, but he never expected that it would be so good.

Even Li Yu's 3D fantasy masterpiece "Life of Pi" was beaten down, with a box office gap of more than [-] million from "Charlotte".

Then again, I have to mention it again, "Charlotte" is not a 3D film.

However, this comparison cannot be calculated like this. After all, "Charlotte" was only released in China, but "Life of Pi" also has an international market.

If you include the foreign box office sales, it would probably be on par with "Charlotte".

Such achievements can no longer be measured as good, it should be said to be awesome.

Therefore, in the next release schedule of "The Grandmaster", Huo Yunting would talk to Wang Jiawei from time to time about his achievements as a virgin.

"Master Huo, tomorrow we-"

"Hey, how did you know that my movie's box office has exceeded one billion?"

Huo Yunting looked innocent, and Wang Jiawei's eyelids twitched.

It was like this until January [-]rd, after "The Grandmaster" was released, Wang Jiawei left as quickly as if he had been granted amnesty.He didn't even say goodbye to Huo Yunting.

He has been in the entertainment industry for some years, and this is the first time in his life that he has met Huo Yunting, who is so generous.

Since my "Grand Master" got involved with him, I haven't heard a few good words come out of his mouth.

In his heart, Huo Yunting was silently blacklisted.

On January 3000th, the first-day box office of "The Grandmaster" was released, with a box office of [-] million on the first day.

Logically speaking, this result should be pretty good, but with Huo Yunting's "Charlotte" in front of him, and Wang Jiawei himself being a famous director, this result seems a bit poor.

Huo Yunting waved his hands indifferently, "It's okay, it's just a matter of blooming in the later stage."

"Brother Yun, this 3000 million box office refers to the global box office."

Liu Yifei reminded her, and Huo Yunting stopped talking.

If this 3000 million is the global box office, then this result is indeed poor enough.

Huo Yunting was thinking about it and suddenly made a "hiss" sound. Could Lao Wang secretly wipe his tears?

On January 12th, "Charlotte" was officially released.

It was released for exactly one month, no more, no less, and the final box office was set at [-] billion.

Liu Yifei couldn't figure it out when she saw this data.

Movie box office is generally divided among three parties: the exhibitor, the producer, and the distributor. The ratio is generally 4:4:2.

The specific share amount is usually agreed upon in advance.Costs and publicity expenses are generally calculated separately by the three parties, because each party has its own costs and publicity expenses.

These words are a bit too harsh to say. All in all, Zhang Debang finally calculated the net profit that Xiting could get, and it was about five or six billion.

When Zhang Debang reported this number to Huo Yunting, he was so happy from the cracks in his toenails to the sky.

Just relying on the movie "Charlotte Annoyance", they Xiting are definitely qualified to squeeze into the first-class investment company in China.

Well, it’s not good to go too far, it’s just second-rate.

With a net profit of five to six billion, he won't feel bad no matter how he loses this time.

Compared now, the cost of around 2000 million for "Lost in Thailand" is nothing at all.

This box office performance was absolutely explosive and almost gave everyone a slap in the face.

With a box office of nearly 20 billion, this is something that many domestic directors cannot do, but now a new director like Huo Yunting has done it.

What the media is best at is praising and degrading others. Now that "Charlotte" is thriving, there are naturally a lot of praises, and Huo Yunting is just short of being praised as the number one director in the country.

As for the criticism, it was just a useless criticism that "Charlotte" is a time-travel drama, and very few people paid attention to it.

At the same time, it was also the day that "Charlotte" was released, and the first-week box office of "The Grandmaster" was released, which was [-] billion.

And it’s a global box office.

To be honest, Huo Yunting couldn't bear to look at this data. He didn't know whether he should call Wang Jiawei to comfort him.

Liu Yifei scolded him righteously, "Look, you were making sarcastic remarks around Director Wang before. Think about how sad he must be now?"

Huo Yunting grinned, "Is he sad? The investment company behind him is the most sad."

But no matter what, I have been friends with Lao Wang for these years, so I still have to comfort him.

Finally, Liu Yifei called Wang Jiawei, and Huo Yunting followed and persuaded him for a while.

In fact, Lao Wang didn't feel too disappointed, he just sighed for a while.

"Don't be too impatient. I am aiming to win awards for this film. I have already expected this box office result... the public's aesthetic appreciation needs to be improved."

Then hung up the phone.

Huo Yunting and Liu Yifei looked at each other.

"I think what Director Wang means is that he doesn't really care about losing money at the box office. He cares more about whether the audience likes his film or not."

"Hey, that's what art practitioners are like. How many normal people are there?" Huo Yunting rubbed Liu Yifei's head with emotion, "If anyone is normal, who will engage in art?"

"The Grandmaster" was relatively sluggish at the box office, and the reviews were somewhat polarized.

Those who praised him would praise this film to the heavens, saying that the art and modeling are top-notch, and that the martial arts are absolutely realistic and so on.

Those who criticized him said that the whole film was unclear and too pretentious.

But no matter how you say it, it is true that the movie "The Grandmaster" had a low box office.

Huo Yunting is a layman. Whether a Henan film meets the public's appetite depends on the box office.

No matter how high your reputation is for a film, even if it is rated [-] out of [-], but the box office is only a few tens of millions, it can only mean that the film is a self-pleasure of a niche circle.

Although "The Grandmaster" is tepid, the popularity of "Charlotte Trouble" remains high.

Even after the film was released, the popularity was higher than during the period of release, which can be reflected in various fields.

It's like a novel.

Huo Yunting flipped through the starting point and found that there were many fan fictions on it, such as "Entertainment Starting from Charlotte's Trouble" and so on.

It was also the first time for him to read entertainment novels, and he found that there were quite a lot of them writing about real-life stars, and many of them even wrote about themselves.

Going down the list of urban favorites, Huo Yunting found that his popularity remained high.

In [-]% of the books, he is the supporting actor second only to the protagonist, and in the remaining books, he is the ultimate villain.

These were all fine, except that some of the books mentioned that his wife had been abducted, and he politely called her sister-in-law, which made him grit his teeth somewhat.

Not long after I read the novel, my phone rang again.

The waves of media reporters are like ocean waves, one after another, endless.

However, Huo Yunting is happy to accept these interviews. After all, he still has to promote the Spring Festival movie "Lost in Thailand" in February.

"'Charlotte' is a hit for Xiting, but 'Lost in Thailand', which will be released in February, will definitely not disappoint everyone."

Facing countless media reporters with long guns and short cannons, Huo Yunting smiled slightly.

""Lost in Thailand" is also funded by Xiting and is personally supervised by me. It also has the participation of two new movie stars, Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang..."

"Mr. Huo, I would like to ask you about your expectations for the box office of "Lost in Thailand"?"

Looking at the reporters in the audience who raised their hands to ask questions, Huo Yunting thought for a moment and then gave an affirmative answer.

"A billion."
