I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 108 First Day Box Office
Just after twelve o'clock, Wan Qingshan's cell phone on the coffee table rang.

Wan Qingshan immediately stopped chatting with Zeng Li and answered the phone.

Zhang Zhao's joyful voice came from the phone, "Haha, Director Wan, the box office is out on the first day. Can you guess how much it is?"

As soon as Wan Qingshan heard Zhang Zhao's laughter, he knew that there was a lot of box office on the first day.

"Mr. Zhang, it should be 1000 million!" Wan Qingshan made an estimate in his mind and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wan Qingshan estimated that the box office on the first day was 1000 million!Yang Junyi and Zeng Li's eyes suddenly widened.

"Haha, Director Wan, your guess is a bit too low!"

Immediately, Zhang Zhao slightly raised his voice and said excitedly, "The first-day box office was 1890 million yuan, breaking the first-day box office record of "Titanic" of 1800 million yuan, and also breaking the first-day box office record of "Heroes" in the domestic film market. Box office record!”

Wan Qingshan was stunned. He broke the record and the box office on the first day was nearly 2000 million!

1890 million, this number is very low for the first-day box office of a movie ten years later.

But now the box office on the first day is nearly 2000 million, what is the concept!Currently, there are only about 2000 movies released in a year with a total box office of more than [-] million.

After a moment, Wan Qingshan came to his senses and asked quickly, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, are these numbers accurate?"

"Director Wan, when the statistics department of Enlight Pictures learned about this number, they were shocked. They were afraid that they were wrong, so they checked it again. This is the number. Even if there is some difference with the statistics from the theaters, the difference will not exceed 50%. Ten thousand."

After confirming the truth, Wan Qingshan laughed and said, "Haha, Mr. Zhang, then we are off to a great start!"

"This is not a big hit, it's a bomb, haha."

Immediately, Zhang Zhao stopped laughing and discussed, "Director Wan, he broke the mainland box office record for the first time, and it will definitely attract the attention of many people.

So I decided not to falsely report, and reported the actual first-day box office to avoid being exposed later. "

"Yes, yes, Mr. Zhang, you have thought carefully. If you break the record and then make a false report, it will be easily discovered. Besides, the box office of 1890 million on the first day is scary enough."

"Director Wan has no objection, then I will report the actual box office immediately."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, you're busy with that."

After Wan Qingshan hung up the phone, Zeng Li immediately asked, "Director Wan, is it true that the first-day box office you just said was 1890 million?"

Just now Wan Qingshan guessed that the premiere box office would be 1000 million, which already surprised Zeng Li.

Later, when she heard Wan Qingshan talking to her cell phone about the first-day box office of 1890 million, Zeng Li was shocked and her mind went blank. After she regained consciousness, she still couldn't believe it.

Yang Junyi looked at Wan Qingshan expectantly, waiting for Wan Qingshan's answer.

Even if the two of them had no ambition, they couldn't help but be full of expectations and apprehensions in the face of the record-breaking first-day box office.

"It's true, 1890 million, breaking the mainland's first-day box office record."

Wan Qingshan replied with a smile on his face, and then called Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin had been waiting for Wan Qingshan's call. As soon as he called, it rang once and was answered.

"Director Wan, um, will the box office be released on the first day?" Zhang Jin, who is much more ambitious than Zeng Li, asked a little nervously.

"It came out, 1890 million, breaking the first-day box office record. Zhang Jin, you are going to become famous!"

Zhang Jin was so shocked by this number that he was speechless. After waiting for a moment, he exclaimed in a nonchalant voice, "1, 1890 million! Director Wan, Director Wan, are you kidding me?"

"I'm kidding you, that's the number."

Immediately, even though Wan Qingshan knew that Zhang Jin would be too excited to sleep tonight, he casually said, "Okay, you go to bed early, don't delay tomorrow's road show."

"Yes, don't worry, Director Wan, I promise it won't be delayed." Zhang Jin replied excitedly.

Wan Qingshan hung up the phone. At this time, Yang Junyi and Zeng Li had come out of shock and disbelief, and had calmed down a little.

"Director Wan, congratulations, the box office on the first day is 1890 million. Director Wan, with this first day box office result, if the three major directors haven't included you, then the title of the three major directors is a joke." Yang Junyi said with a smile.

Wan Qingshan suddenly frowned and said, "Congratulations, for the box office to reach this number on the first day, you, as a martial arts director, have a lot of credit."

Immediately, Wan Qingshan lowered his voice slightly and said, "What you said just now, it's okay if we talk about it in private, but you must never say it to anyone."

Yang Junyi's face suddenly wrinkled, and he was very scared.Wan Qingshan is not afraid of Huayi and Feng Xiaogang, but Yang Junyi is not. Not to mention Yang Junyi, 99.99% of the people in the circle are not.

In order to break news, reporters have long asked the question of who is more suitable to be ranked among the top three actors, Wan Qingshan or Feng Xiaogang, and have interviewed many actors.

But no one dared to answer directly. They were afraid of offending Huayi and Feng Xiaogang, and they didn't want to offend Wan Qingshan.

"Director Wan, I was talking nonsense just now, and I won't say it again in the future." Yang Junyi said immediately.

Immediately, Yang Junyi looked at Zeng Li, with some worry in his eyes.

Although when filming "Loyal Liver and Righteous Brave", Yang Junyi and Zeng Li were with the crew throughout the filming, and they both stayed on the crew for more than two months.

But the two of them had little conversation in private, so Yang Junyi didn't know Zeng Li's personality and was worried that Zeng Li would spread what he just said.

Facing Yang Junyi's gaze, Zeng Li said with a blank expression, "What were you talking about just now? I didn't even hear it."

Zeng Li pretended to be dumbfounded, which made Yang Junyi breathe a sigh of relief.

Wan Qingshan couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. At this time, Wan Qingshan's cell phone rang again.

Wan Qingshan was surprised when he picked up the phone and saw that it was Jiang Zhiqiang's phone number, and then immediately answered the call.

"Mr. Jiang!"

Jiang Zhiqiang smiled on the other end of the phone and said, "Director Wan, congratulations, the box office was a big hit on the first day, my Anle Cinema alone had a box office of several million!
Anle Film and Television not only develops in Hong Kong Island, but also has theaters in the Mainland. It entered the Mainland in 2000 and has grown to a large scale now.

Immediately, Jiang Zhiqiang asked with a smile, "Director Wan, Guangguang should have calculated the box office on the first day. Let me tell you, how much was the box office on the first day?"

There is no need to hide this kind of thing. If Wan Qingshan doesn't say anything, Zhang Zhao will announce it later.

So, without thinking, Wan Qingshan smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, the box office on the first day was good, 1890 million!"

Over there, Jiang Zhiqiang opened his mouth slightly in surprise and was speechless.From the box office of Anle Cinema, I guessed that the first-day box office of "Loyal Liver and Brave" should be good, but I didn't expect it to be so high.

After a moment, the shock in Jiang Zhiqiang's heart dissipated, and he congratulated in a strange mood,

"Director Wan, congratulations, it seems that the total box office of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery" will exceed [-] million."

As Jiang Zhiqiang spoke, he couldn't help but think that he had successively invested in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers" in recent years, all of which were blockbusters with large investments.

Unexpectedly, these large investments did not break the first-day box office record of "Titanic", but the first-day box office record was broken by "Loyal Lives and Righteousness" with tens of millions of investments.

His mood became even weirder!
"Mr. Jiang, it's still not certain. The early publicity is better, and the box office on the first day is not bad. Whether it can exceed [-] million depends on whether it can stabilize later."

Wan Qingshan also knows that the first-day box office of 1890 million is due to the early publicity, especially the sensation it caused on the Internet.

Even if, later on, because of the news about which of the three major directors he or Feng Xiaogang is more suitable for, the popularity of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery" has dropped a bit.

But this low is because compared to before and compared to other movies, the popularity is still unattainable.

Jiang Zhiqiang smiled softly and said, "Director Wan, the movie is very exciting and the box office will definitely be stable."

Immediately, Jiang Zhiqiang changed the subject and said with a smile, "Director Wan, the first-day box office in Hong Kong is also out, 430 million Hong Kong dollars.

It’s definitely nothing compared to 1890 million, but it’s a very good result on Hong Kong Island.The original box office of "The True Meaning of Love" on the first day was less than 300 million. "

"Mr. Jiang, this is a very good result. Speaking of which, I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Jiang, because you, the big boss, personally called me to tell me about the box office late at night."

When Wan Qingshan saw Jiang Zhiqiang's phone number before, he knew that he was calling at this time, and it must be about the first day's box office on Hong Kong Island.

This really surprised Wan Qingshan. Jiang Zhiqiang actually called him personally to tell him about the first-day box office. Jiang Zhiqiang didn't invest in "Loyal Liver and Righteous Courage", so he actually called him personally in the middle of the night.

"Haha, I only have a hobby in movies, so of course I have to keep an eye on many things myself." Jiang Zhiqiang said with a hearty smile.

Then, he changed the subject and said, "Director Wan, you are tired from this road show, so I won't disturb you. I will entertain you well when you get to Hong Kong Island."

"Haha, Mr. Jiang, see you then."

After hanging up the phone this time, Wan Qingshan stopped calling Zhang Jin. Hong Kong Island is a small place. Although the box office on the first day was good, the stamina was not enough. The total box office was estimated to be only about 5000 million, so it was not worth making another call.

Later, after Wan Qingshan, Zeng Li, and Yang Junyi talked about the first day's box office in Hong Kong, they asked them to go back to their rooms to rest.
