From being on the show with my ex, it started to explode

In the past few days since "Saw" was released overseas, the current cumulative box office has exceeded US$500 million.

This figure pales into insignificance compared with the domestic box office revenue of more than 1 billion.

But if compared horizontally with other domestic films released overseas, the box office of this US$500 million can even rank among the top 20 cumulative overseas box office of Chinese films in the past few decades.

Even if it costs more than 100 million US dollars, it can directly enter the top 10 box office.

It can be seen that there is actually little market for Chinese-language films in foreign markets, especially in European and American markets.

So in the past two days, Song Ci has been working on a new book, while also paying special attention to the overseas box office of "Saw".

In the evening, after Song Ci finished the book signing, he sat on the sofa in the hotel with a pile of takeaways in front of him. Several members of the team were sitting nearby, talking and laughing while eating takeaways.

It was already past 11pm.

There was a notebook in front of him, and the person in the video was none other than James Morris, the person in charge of the release of Sonic's "Saw" this time.

The other person was also holding a cup of coffee in his hand, with a joyful smile on his face. He touched Song Ci at the camera, and then said happily:

“Our current box office is only US$500 million, but we actually don’t have many open screens. Overall, our attendance rate is very high.

"It's more than 85%! And the audience who have watched it so far has given us a score of more than 99% on Rotten Tomatoes! Don't worry, Yizhou in the future will be a very important Yizhou for us, but Yizhou will definitely be successful!”

On the other end of the phone, James Morris was typing up Song Ci. He was very confident.

After all, judging from the various data he collected locally, it is only a matter of time before "Saw" becomes a big hit.

Song Ci nodded, and then asked Mimi to log in to some local film review websites in Europe and the United States.

James Morris is very confident, but Song Ci also needs to be understood by himself.

Currently, "Saw" has been given a high score of 5000 by more than 9.9 people on Rotten Tomatoes.

If we look at the historical records of these people, most of them are Chinese and some Asians.

It can be seen that the first batch of viewers to watch "Saw" watched it because of Song Ci's reputation.

"I really didn't expect it. I watched this thriller and suspense film, which is very popular in China, with the attitude of giving it a try. Only when I really watched it did I realize that he is worthy of this year's best film, especially after watching By the final twist, I had goosebumps all over my body. What impressed me most was that the rhythm of this film is very suitable for European and American audiences! I think this drama will definitely be a big hit in Europe and America!"

"An unimaginably brilliant thriller and suspense film! What surprised me most is that the director is a Chinese who has never directed a play before! I know that he can sing very well and his script is also very well written. Okay, but his directing ability is so strong, it really exceeded my expectations!"

"It's such a shocking movie. I went to the cinema to watch it with my Chinese friends. I just wanted to kill time, so I bought two big buckets of rice crackers for this reason. I thought if the movie wasn't good, I'll just eat popcorn the whole time.

"But who knows, I only ate the surface of my popcorn after watching the whole movie. This movie is so good! There was no peeing spot in the whole process. It was completely eye-catching from the beginning to the end, and it detonated us. For adrenaline, this is a great movie you have to see!”

After browsing through all these good reviews, Mimi smiled and said to Song Ci:

"There are very few negative reviews now. It can be seen that everyone likes this movie very much. However, how much we can get at the overseas box office depends on how many screens Sonic can get. However, they are one of the top ten local companies. One of the publishing companies should have this strength!"

Song Ci nodded and said:

"You can contact James Morris later. The contract we signed before allows us to use all the 3000 million from the box office for publicity costs. I think if there is really hope of a big hit, then Just add more, add 2000 million to the publicity cost."

The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys.

No matter how good a movie is, if there is no good publicity, the potential audience of the movie will not know that it is being released.

Therefore, Song Ci will never be stingy with money when it comes to publishing.

Especially overseas.

Its popularity overseas is basically zero.

This time, the whole process will be handled by Sonic Company.

Fortunately, we signed a share-sharing contract with Sonic. The higher the box office, the more Sonic will make.

So they spared no effort to promote "Saw" throughout the whole process.

For this reason, on the second day, the "Saw" team and the leading actors except Song Ci embarked on a journey to Europe and the United States.

We are ready to start road shows in Europe and the United States.

This is a beauty that the actors had never imagined before when they participated in Song Ci's "Saw" project.

When everyone participated in the script of Song Ci, it was originally a coincidence among coincidences.

You must know that this is just a competition work of the Yizhou Story Conference.

Who would have known that this work would now be shown on big screens across the country.

The main actors who participated in Song Ci are not well-known in China.

But now their work has not only become a box office hit in China, but is also being discussed in major online forums every day.

They are even preparing to come to Europe and the United States!

Get ready to participate in road shows in Europe and the United States!

We are about to officially enter the European and American film circles!

This is something that all the actors involved in this project did not expect.

At this moment, faced with such a sudden surprise, everyone embarked on a road show trip to Europe and the United States with a feeling of apprehension, hesitation and longing.

Day 2.

Song Ci continues its book signing activities.

He came to Youzhou these days.

Today, a rather special event was held on site.

Mimi had related cooperation with a local middle school. The principal of the classmate brought 50 outstanding students from the school to the site to conduct related autograph signing activities with Song Ci.
