Illiterate top class: three years of poor performance, become a superstar

Chapter 228 Tang Detective 2’s indiscriminate killing trend in North America
"..."

The North American premiere of Detective Tang 2 is over, but it’s not completely over.

because……

In the North American market, the first screening of Detective Tang 2, which was released simultaneously in many cities including America and Maple Leaf Country, has not yet ended.

In other words, Mr. Xu is just pretending... he clearly expressed his ardent expectations for Tang Detective 2 in the North American market.

reached an agreement with his fans in North America.

Prepare to work together to create greater glory.

At the premiere, as the event ended, the entertainment media reporters did not leave, and neither did the public.

Everyone became a crowd of onlookers, laughing and watching Mr. Xu signing autographs for fans.

"Xu is real...I cried to death, and I can even write English blessings!!"

"I'm so happy to receive such a 'happy every day' blessing!"

"The perfect idol, it meets all my expectations for an idol. I am very happy today."

"..."

Xu Nian couldn't understand what these foreigners actually said. All he heard was what Meng Chao's translator relayed.

As soon as I heard it, I knew it contained private goods.

Do foreigners understand what "he really makes me cry to death"?
This kid is definitely going against his will recently!
But it doesn't matter, as long as it sounds pleasant and pleasant, Xu Nian thinks very simply.

Overseas regions will always adhere to the path of fan economy and fully practice the cycle of fan cultivation, accumulation, harvesting, and re-cultivation.

Fully mobilize the enthusiasm of fans and spread oriental charm to the widest range of the world through fans.

Let Chinese culture fully bloom around the world.

And he, Xu Nian, is only responsible for the official response to fans' expectations.

How to achieve these things is entirely left to Tianyue to develop, operate and maintain.

As the second largest shareholder of Tianyue with a shareholding ratio of more than 15%, Xu Nian fully believes in the working ability of Tianyue team.

He believes that Tianyue's team can unify Chinese music, Chinese film and television and other aspects, and fulfill the expectations of many parties with the help of the 'X' brand that is gradually on the right track.

He also believes that works like Tang Detective 2 are just the beginning, and he will have more excellent works that ignore regional culture.

he……

Forget it, let's stop here. If we think about it further, we should devote more energy to writing essays to cope with it properly.

…………

At the same time, news related to the premiere has swept the world through the Internet.

It triggered heated discussions among netizens.

However, there was basically no sound in Huaguo... Nothing else. It was just five o'clock in the morning in Huaguo.

Night owls have just gone to bed, and office workers have not yet woken up.

It smells more or less like total silence.

What is more interesting is that there are still some enthusiastic discussions in China that are not online.

For example... I didn't get a good night's sleep throughout October, thus developing the actor Mr. Lu Mingkai who gets up before dawn.

The shocking situation of "Ten Thousand Cities" put him under heavy pressure to fulfill his contract.

Fortunately, the management of "Ten Thousand Cities" are all kind-hearted players. Even though the betting agreement was very clear-cut, it only advocated a reasonable range and was not an operation to kill Lu Mingkai.

Based on Lu Mingkai's past income, even though "Ten Thousand Cities" suffered a loss, there was no need to sell houses or cars, let alone sell iron.

That's almost half a lifetime's income.

Considering the nature of the film "Ten Thousand Cities", who can't watch it without saying that best actor Ming Kai has made groundbreaking contributions to Chinese film and television?
In the bright morning, Lu Mingkai was sitting on the sofa in the living room, browsing international news on the TV, and his assistant's voice rang out.

"Brother Mingkai, why are you suddenly paying attention to international news?"

"Huh?? Why is it this Xu Nian again?!"

"He is restless no matter where he goes. He is such a scumbag. He is not afraid of falling to death even when he is standing so high."

Lu Mingkai: "..."

One month, 31 days and nights of expectation, longing, reflection, annoyance, regret, helplessness, gnashing of teeth, and so on.

Lu Mingkai gained a deeper understanding of himself through painful experience.

In short, he became more indifferent: "Young people need some motivation, don't talk nonsense like this."

assistant:"……"

Lu Mingkai looked at his assistant and asked casually, "What do you think?"

Of course, the assistant didn't directly ask what he wanted to see. He just quickly paid attention to the news displayed on the TV screen.

Lu Mingkai is getting older. Not to mention the mobile phone screen, even the tablet screen is too small. He usually browses current affairs through the TV screen.

The assistant quickly figured out the cause and effect, and said thoughtfully and thoughtfully: "At first glance, it seems to be just some promotional slogans for the premiere."

"It should be that he wants to imitate Tang Tan 1's approach in Southeast Asia."

"Although Detective 2 was filmed in New York, I am not optimistic about the success of Detective 2 in the North American market."

"It seems that the film scheduling rate is not very high?"

After listening, Lu Mingkai added casually: "The overall film arrangement rate in the North American market is about 7%."

"So much? It should be worth the millions at the box office." The assistant thought for a while and replied, "There is definitely no shock."

Lu Mingkai was noncommittal, and then mentioned casually: "I heard that the movie "Infernal Affairs" they filmed in Hong Kong was very good."

assistant:"……"

He is not very able to follow the train of thought, nor is he very brave to express his opinions.

Seeing the assistant's silence, Lu Mingkai didn't say anything more.

Now he is not only calmer than before, but also silent than before.

After all, I have experienced a lot of ups and downs, and learned from the pain, and I can understand another concrete manifestation of "people are famous for their right and wrong".

I know that apart from false compliments and compliments, it is difficult for people around me to give unfavorable advice.

Of course, it would be unrealistic to say that Lu Mingkai didn't hate Xu Nian.

Although Xu Nian seemed to have done nothing from beginning to end, there is no doubt that he was the cause of ending up in this situation!
But Lu Mingkai knew that in the current situation, it would be difficult for him to 'revenge'.

He already understood how much attention and expectations Xu Nian had received.

For example, the entertainment news is reporting that Xu Nian is talking nonsense, but he knows that this is an inevitable development.

Even if Detective Tang 2 doesn't work, at least Xu Nian's personal reputation will become louder.

And "Infernal Affairs", which has recently been praised by many in the industry, seems to have even higher hopes.

How should I put it... Lu Mingkai gradually understood everything.

.........

Interestingly, Cheng Jing happened to be paying attention to this international entertainment news at this time.

He happened to have an urgent schedule to catch up on today.

Looking at some of the slices that came out, Cheng Jing sighed: "Sometimes when I think about it, I really admire Xu Nian."

"He always looks confident in public. He is handsome, has good temperament, and is in such good condition. Even if I were the employer, I would choose him."

broker:"……"

Brother, do you want to brag like this?
Aren't you supposed to be mortal enemies?

As a result, Cheng Jing turned around and asked his agent: How much do you think the box office of Detective Tang 2 will be at its premiere in the North American market? "

broker:"……"

He was in a dilemma, thought about it again, and then answered: "I don't think it's bad."

"Should there be 500 million yuan?"

Hearing this, Cheng Jing smiled: "I don't think the opening box office of 500 million is worth Xu Nian's hard work."

"Even if Detective Tang 2 is just for a stepping stone."

broker:"……"

He has been silent three times in a short period of time.

He always feels that the recent situation has changed too fast, which is a bit difficult to understand.Cheng Jing glanced at the agent and didn't explain much.

Of course he doesn't like Xu Nian.

Xu Nian's existence has the greatest impact on him, who is known as the top player in domestic entertainment.

However, Cheng Jing understands more and more that the competition for interests in domestic entertainment is getting further and further away from Xu Nian.

It’s not that vanity fairs like domestic entertainment don’t have competition of all kinds.

But the dimensions are different.

At least under the current situation, Chinese music and Chinese film and television will not sit back and watch the competition against Xu Nian expand.

"Ten Thousand Cities" is actually a clear example.

Even in the earliest stages, the direction of public opinion has never penetrated Xu Nian personally.

Some clear examples:

The main problem with the less-than-perfect Detective Tang 2 is attributed to screenwriter Li Cheng’s lack of skill and experience.

Although this is true, according to common sense, as Xu Nian is a popular star, he will be criticized a lot.

After all, acting actually has a subjective component to the audience.

Cheng Jing, who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, doesn’t think there is no extra will in this.

Considering that Xu Nian has become Tianyue's second largest shareholder, and given Tianyue's current development status, Xu Nian can completely ignore the internal competition of interests in the entertainment industry.

Because Xu has already entered the ranks of talkative people in the entertainment industry.

Therefore, Cheng Jing became much calmer...

…………

…………

The excitement of the premiere finally dissipated, and Xu Nian and Li Cheng returned to their hotel.

A small banquet hall was opened, and a table full of people had a lively dinner.

Chatting with each other about their hard work.

After finishing the superficial work, I started eating and drinking.

In response, Xu Nian said disdainfully: "You are so hypocritical when you are pretending."

"We talk about being one of our own, but in fact there is still a sadly thick barrier between us!"

Li Cheng was amazed when he heard this: "You still know how to deal with yin and yang."

"I think that when it comes to yin and yang, the second uncle dares to say that he is unparalleled in the world!" Lin Shu agreed deeply.

Xu Nian said as if it was true: "Look, look, I know."

Then without giving Li Cheng and the others a chance, they directly changed the subject: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about business."

Li Cheng sighed first, and then talked about the current situation in detail: "Thanks to the cooperation with Paramount, the film schedule of Detective 2 in North America is pretty good."

"However, the rules for theaters around the world are similar, and adjustments to film schedules will be more real-time."

"According to the current film schedule, today's box office will be less than 90 US dollars, which will affect tomorrow's film schedule."

"If today's box office is higher than 160 million US dollars, there will be more than 3600 theaters showing Detective Tang 2 tomorrow."

Although today is Halloween, which is the highest peak of the recent box office market, it is not expected to exceed US$2500 million. ①
You know, the market has been below $[-] million for many days in a row recently.

After listening to Li Cheng's description, Xu Nian thought briefly: "Let's try harder through the Internet."

"Okay." Li Cheng nodded repeatedly.

So, Xu Nian logged into the international version of Weibo and updated the news. The content was very simple.

Exactly the same call he made at the premiere.

With the help of all parties, it quickly became a hot spot on the platform.

It once again ignited the enthusiasm of netizens to talk about it.

…………

纽约时间11月1号晚上7点多，唐探2北美票房突破90万美元！
The producers of Tang Detective 2 were reluctant to announce the good news via the Internet.

With many Hollywood and other local films being screened, the data of Detective 2 is not very eye-catching.

So much so that the country is a little anxious about the new year.

"No, no, as expected, Xu Nian, please don't be arrogant. It's fine now. The box office will hit the streets."

"Okay, okay, that's it. Xu Nian will be honest from now on."

"Xu Nian, you... you guys are not Xu Nian at all when you curse."

"..."

Passers-by and netizens are not too anxious about this data.

Just watch the fun.

Nian Fan cautiously spoke:

"This data seems to be okay. I just checked the North American box office market. Recently, it has been less than [-] million US dollars in a single day..."

"It's not easy for domestic films to go overseas, so please give me a little more patience. It's okay to scold my husband, but don't teach my husband how to work hard~"

"..."

Just over half an hour later, the producers of Detective 2 released the good news on various mainstream social media platforms around the world.

Warmly celebrate that Detective Tang 2 has exceeded one million US dollars at the North American box office.

There was no chance for domestic Internet users and fun-loving people to ridicule, and a comprehensive explanation was given in minutes.

Fully analyzed the comparison between Tang Detective 2's film schedule in North America and the actual box office situation in North America.

He also made it clear that the current box office data of Detective Tang 2 has exceeded the expected performance of the film schedule.

It is already the best premiere result for a Chinese domestic film in North America, etc.

In fact, this result is close to the total box office data of many domestic films released in North America...

For a time, the domestic Weibo platform was very busy, with passers-by and netizens eating melons, and the New Year was like celebrating the New Year.

Yes, the dark years have begun again.

Instead, the New Year fans dived quietly.

.........

At 9 p.m., the North American box office of Detective Tang 2 surged to US$120 million.

The data is getting more and more promising.

However, it has missed the chance to be released in 3600 theaters in North America.

At around 10 p.m., the box office closed for the day.

The premiere box office of Detective Tang 2 was finally set at US$132 million, ranking among the top ten at the North American box office that day!

It became the highest-grossing North American film in the history of Chinese-language films!

Converted into RMB, it is about 965 million.

It triggered reports from major entertainment media in North America.

Detective Tang 2 and Xu Nian are equally popular.

There is no doubt that everyone can see that this must be just the beginning!
…………

On November 11, Detective 2 was released in 2 theaters in North America, with the film schedule more than doubling.

It took in $190 million at the box office that day.

Paramount took the initiative to coordinate all parties and pushed Detective 2 to almost all theaters in North America.

A total of 3760 theaters will screen Detective Detective 2.

After two days of release, the cumulative box office reached US$322 million, with a contract of RMB 2354 million.

It has exceeded the box office performance of all Chinese-language films with statistical data released in North America! !
However, as far as Xu knows, the total box office of Detective Tang 2 in North America was RMB 1500 million...
-
①: The reference data comes from the results of a third-party website. The North American box office seems to be very popular if it reaches US$5000 million in a single day. The peak daily box office in recent years seems to be US$4600 million.

So when it comes to single-day box office data, it has to be our country.
