Chapter 651: Setting a New Record
The People's Daily's comments indeed provided huge traffic support for "Operation Red Sea".

Although it is morning, there are still countless netizens commenting crazily on the platform.

"It's impressive, Director Li. Both the Navy and the Ministry of National Defense are involved. Now the party media has spoken out, but I want to say that Operation Red Sea deserves it."

"I don't have much education, but being awesome is enough!"

"."

"Director Li's movie has a horrible box office, reaching 3.5 million in a single day."

Xiangyang Tang City, the crew of "Legend of the Demon Cat", Chen Hong saw the news report early in the morning and couldn't help but sigh.

You can imagine what will happen now that the party media has spoken out.

Everyone in the crew also started discussing in a low voice.

"Dad, can you arrange for me to act in Director Li's movie?"

Chen Feiyu looked at Brother Chen Kai, his eyes full of admiration. After all, from childhood to adulthood, there was almost nothing that Brother Chen Kai could not do as long as a request was made.

Chen Hong glanced at Chen Feiyu, then looked at Brother Chen Kai.

If possible, she certainly hopes that her son can star in Li Mu's movie.

"First, do the work in front of you." Brother Chen Kai did not respond directly, "Have you finished the work as the director's assistant?"

"Oh!"

Chen Feiyu responded in a depressed tone, and then went to prepare for matters related to the crew.

"I'm afraid my son really doesn't want to be a director anymore."

No one knows a child better than his mother. Chen Hong has seen it very clearly during this period of time.

"Director Li, if there is a chance, you can make some arrangements for Feiyu."

"Let's talk about it later. If it's appropriate, I'll come forward."

Brother Chen Kai said calmly, and then started preparing for today's filming, as if he didn't care about the matter.

Chen Hong sighed. She knew Brother Chen Kai's character very well. To put it nicely, he was too proud; to put it bluntly, he was too self-centered.

If it was a simple matter, Brother Chen Kai would just go and talk to Li Mu, but this kind of thing requires Brother Chen Kai to bow his head, and since it is not a case of resource exchange, I am afraid Brother Chen Kai would not be willing to do so.

And he is a director himself. Can’t he make a movie himself to promote his son?
I have to say that Chen Hong really knows Brother Chen Kai very well, and this is what Brother Chen Kai thought at this time.

On the other side, Li Lu received a call from Nie Mei just after getting up in the morning.

During this period, he communicated a lot with Nie Mei's team. However, at this point in time, the other party's person in charge called him, which made Li Lu think more.

"Tai Nie!" Li Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said lightly.

"Director Li, please see if you have time to come over after the National Day. Regarding In the Name of People, we agree to your conditions in principle, but I still need to finalize the specific details."

Li Lu, who had thought that it would take some time, was suddenly ecstatic at this moment. He did not expect that this would actually come true.

"Fortunately, I didn't sell it for 2.2 million, otherwise I would have suffered a huge loss."

Li Lu secretly sighed in his heart, he almost sold it like this, after all, the cost was 1.2 million, and he sold it for 2.2 million, which was indeed a lot of profit. Fortunately, Li Mu felt that the price could still be increased, so he continued the negotiations.

"Okay, Nie Tai, on the morning of the 8th."

Li Lu didn't want to delay any longer and wanted to settle it sooner so that he could feel at ease sooner.

Nie Mei agreed, hung up the phone, and looked at the report that "Operation Red Sea" had broken 3.5 million in a single day, and remained silent for a long time.

"I hope I didn't make a wrong bet this time!"

After a long time, Nie Mei slowly stood up and muttered to herself.

Li Lu quickly told the news to Li Mu, Fan Ziwen and others.

The happiest ones are Golden Shield. On the one hand, although they cooperated with the Supreme People's Procuratorate Film and Television Center to make this TV series, they invested real money, much more than the Supreme People's Procuratorate.

"Hahaha, good, let's finalize it as soon as possible, and then we can have a celebration party when we get back."

The person who was the calmest after hearing the news was Li Mu.

Although the offer of 3.5 million is not low, it is not high compared to this TV series, so both parties can get something for their money.

Since Mango TV agreed, Li Mu naturally had no objection.

All I can say is that Nie Mei is also a smart person and can see the value in it.

"The TV series has been sold?" Liu Yifei asked in surprise. She knew how much money Li Mu and the others were prepared to ask for, and they actually agreed.

"In principle, we agree. There are still some minor details to be considered. As long as there are no serious problems, it will probably be finalized after National Day."

Li Mu said with a smile.

"I'm afraid this news will make those who quit regret it."

Liu Yifei also couldn't help but sigh, if 2.2 million would just make them beat their chests and stamp their feet, but this time it was definitely a blow to their lungs.

With an investment of 1.2 million, we earned back 3.5 million, which is almost doubled.

"They should know after National Day. To be honest, I really want to see their expressions!"

"You are so bad!"

Liu Yifei looked at Li Mu's smirk and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Today, "Operation Red Sea" still has a high score of 8.9 on Douban, and the number of reviews from professional film critics has increased from over a hundred at the premiere to over three hundred now.

The number of comments from movie fans has skyrocketed.

However, the score is still around 8.9, which is enough to show that fans and critics are very fond of "Operation Red Sea". At this time, managers of major theaters were also cheering.

"Operation Red Sea" did not disappoint their half-year expectations. The theaters were packed as soon as it was released, and major cinemas made a lot of money.

Faced with the long queues for buying tickets that have not been seen for a long time, major cinemas still want to increase the screening schedule of "Operation Red Sea". After all, no one can resist money, and haven't you seen that the official media have also spoken out?

Now, the entire mainland film market has become dominated by "Operation Red Sea", and almost all the focus is on the movie "Operation Red Sea".

The rest of the attention is focused on "Operation Mekong", which is of the same type as "Operation Red Sea", so that other films are overshadowed.

But this makes several other movies very uncomfortable, and the most uncomfortable one is of course Guo Jingming's "Jade Dynasty".

"'Jade Dynasty' is not aiming to make money this time, otherwise it would be better to shoot 'Tiny Times 5', which is quick and economical, requires less investment, and makes money quickly."

At the event, Guo Jingming could only speak with gritted teeth.

The box office of "Jade Dynasty" on National Day was only 6000 million, and this is obviously the peak. The characteristics of fan movies will be fully demonstrated in the next few days.

"On the third day, I wonder if Operation Red Sea can break through the box office."

Looking at the reports from major media, Yu Dong couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

But she was in a good mood too. Although "Operation Mekong" failed to win the championship, there was basically no problem in getting the premium from the main theme.

Moreover, it is basically a sure thing for this type of movie to get a postponement.

On the other side, after Li Mu got up in the morning, he received a continuous phone call.

"Congratulations, Director Li. It seems we were wrong."

Wang Changtian also called Li Mu and said, "It seems that 33 billion is not a big problem if we can get it that day."

"Haha, Mr. Wang, I didn't expect it to be like this."

Li Mu said modestly that he really didn't expect the Navy to be so supportive. The official media had attracted a lot of support, and finally the People's Daily also made comments after the box office results came out the next day.

This is really a big help.

"Director Li, do you plan to release Wolf Warrior 2?"

When Li Mu heard what Wang Changtian said, he immediately knew that the industry has now set its sights on "Wolf Warrior 2".

After all, military-themed movies have been proven by "Operation Red Sea". It's not that they can't do well at the box office, but the prerequisite is that you can make them.

Now that the mainstream theme market has been opened up, movie fans have also become interested in this type of movie, and "Wolf Warrior" is a verified IP, so it is naturally being watched by the industry.

“It’s better not to release it for guaranteed release.”

After "Operation Red Sea", Li Mu felt that the industry still could not afford the price and there was no need to waste time.

"Pity."

Wang Changtian felt a little regretful.

At this time, not only did Li Mu receive inquiries from the industry about the guaranteed release of "Wolf Warrior 2", but Wu Jing also received greetings from many people in the industry.

“Is it so popular?”

Xie Nan was also very surprised. She didn't expect that the military film directed by her husband has become a hot commodity in the industry.

"Director Li has tapped into the potential of this type of subject matter, so naturally many people who are interested in it have come to look for it."

Wu Jing was also shocked when thinking about the box office of "Operation Red Sea".

"What did Director Li say?"

"I haven't asked yet. I'll go to Guangzhou for promotion the day after tomorrow. I'll ask again. There's no rush."

"."

The box office on the second day of National Day has come into view as the sun rises again.

The big four words in the media caught the attention of everyone in the industry.

"Operation Red Sea hit a new high in single-day box office, earning 4.01 million yuan, creating a single-day 4 million era in the history of Chinese-language films, and also a new domestic single-day box office record."

"This main theme military blockbuster directed by Li Mu earned 9.7 million in three days, and the single-day box office exceeded 4 million, leading Chinese-language films into the 4 million per day era!"

"Operation Red Sea has set a new record, breaking through 76 billion in the early hours of today, taking 10 hours, setting a record for the fastest breakthrough of billion in China."

"."

This series of records has left the industry silent.

No one expected that it would have exceeded 10 billion in the early morning of the fourth day of its release, one day faster than "The Mermaid".

"That's too much! That's 400 million in a single day! A full 400 million!"

“I didn’t dare to think about it, but I actually achieved it!”

"His single-day box office is equal to the box office of other people's entire movie."

"."

Compared to the shock of industry insiders, netizens were much happier.

"Awesome! Make another one. I believe it will be even better than this one!"

"I used to find the main theme uninteresting, but now I realize it's the fault of the person who filmed it. I want to watch it, so I'll watch it again next time you film it."

"As expected, the record was created by Li Mu. This record was easily broken. I'll ask who else can do it."

"The absolute best director in the country, no objections accepted"
