The anti-fraud bureau needs a promotional video, and you're going to make a "Desperate Gam

Chapter 58: Opening Day Box Office Reaches 1.8 Million! Far Ahead! (Second Update, Please Follow)
Since the movie ticket doubling coupon was time-limited, Song Hao decided to use it in advance.

In this way, I will have twenty movie redemption cards.

Basically, he can redeem most excellent film and television works.

However, Song Hao doesn't use these exchange cards easily. After all, these days he either doesn't film at all, or he only films blockbuster hits.

Since the film "The Flowers of War" premiered and received a score of 8.1 on Douban, its online reputation has exploded.

"Waaaaah, it's so beautiful, I'm crying so hard."

“Me too. I took my great-grandfather to see it, and when he saw those enemies, his eyes immediately turned fierce.”

"In the past, when older people heard the word 'Japanese pirates,' their eyes would immediately turn murderous!"

"Our ancestors of yesteryear, now our motherland is prosperous and strong, and we will no longer be bullied."

"Yes, don't worry, we are here to protect this generation, and we will not let history repeat itself."

"People still go to that shrine every year, it makes me so angry! I want to burn it down!"

Self-media creators love movies that evoke strong emotions, and they immediately start posting videos and interpreting them.

Among them, "Donggua," the most active member of the paparazzi, was in a somewhat awkward position at this moment.

It's worth noting that before this, he had consistently used methods such as belittling Song Hao and "The Flowers of War" to attract viewers.

Now, the movie has actually become a hit.

It received even better reviews than "All for the Winner" during the National Day holiday.

or?

Praise now?
Donggua got right to work!

He immediately posted a video with the title: "[A great new generation director has filmed subjects and works that no one else dared to film!]"

But soon after the video was posted, many people started to criticize and insult it.

"Damn it, you really do bend whichever way the wind blows!"

"You're such a clickbaiter! Just the other day you said this promotional video was bound to flop!"

"Stop chasing traffic, go home and have dinner. Director Song doesn't need your flattery."

Although Donggua kept deleting negative reviews, there were just too many people criticizing him.

Helpless, he had no choice but to play dead and silently delete the video.

Unexpectedly, Song Hao's fans became even more agitated after he deleted the video, and they continued to bombard the comment sections of Donggua's other videos.

This made the winter melon extremely bitter.

At the same time, he also transformed this helplessness into resentment towards Song Hao.

"Damn it, don't let me get any juicy gossip," Donggua complained.

As a film released at the end of the year, "The Flowers of War" generated excellent word-of-mouth on the day of its release, which surprised many in the industry.

Tang Guorong was one of them.

He originally thought that "All or Nothing" would be a hit, which was basically due to official support.

Otherwise, Song Hao could never make a blockbuster movie!

In addition, not long ago, when he learned that Song Hao's second promotional video was actually a war-themed film, he laughed for quite a while.

These days, even dogs aren't afraid of war-themed movies.

Even today's renowned directors like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige wouldn't dare to guarantee that their war-themed films will be popular.

[Leave the light on in the toilet? You're asking for trouble!]

This is Tang Guorong's evaluation of Song Hao's "The Flowers of War".

But what I didn't expect was.

On the day of its release, "The Flowers of War" received a score of 8.1 on Douban.

This was simply unacceptable to Tang Guorong!

At midnight, the first day's box office results were released.

"The Flowers of War" remains the top-grossing film.

With a box office of 1.8 million, it is far ahead.

This is despite the limited number of film studios and unfavorable filming schedules.

It's expected that after tomorrow, cinemas across the country will significantly increase the number of screenings of "The Flowers of War." At that time, the box office will definitely see another surge.

Meanwhile, in the office of the Culture and Tourism Bureau.

The lights were still on.

Director Zheng looked at the box office data on the computer and couldn't stop smiling.

He immediately dialed Director Zhang's number from the Anti-Fraud Bureau.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, the box office figures for 'The Flowers of War' are out."

"Not much, only 1.8 million. Even Xiao Song said it was too little."

"Well, I think it's alright, considering it's a promotional video. By the way, how much was your 'All or Nothing' box office on its opening day?"

After giving Versailles a good dressing down, Director Zheng finally hung up the phone, feeling quite satisfied.

He looked at Section Chief Chen, who was equally excited, and said, "Xiao Chen, you've done a great job this time! If you hadn't found Xiao Song to shoot the promotional video, we probably would have missed it."

Section Chief Chen also pretended to be modest and said, "Actually, most of the time I was just conveying Director Zheng's message. It was you who overruled the objections and chose to release Director Song's 'The Flowers of War'. Otherwise, the audience would not have been able to see such a historically significant film."

Director Zheng nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, and then asked, "By the way, what was the box office revenue split we signed with Xiao Song before this?"

"As the investor in this project, Longxing Group will take 50% of the box office revenue after recovering its costs, after deducting the cinema's share. Our Bureau of Culture and Tourism, as the official supporter, will take 30%, Director Song will take 10%, and the other actors will take a combined 10%," Section Chief Chen explained.

Director Zheng replied, "This revenue sharing ratio is acceptable. After all, we haven't incurred too many costs. The box office revenue we receive will be used to invest in the maintenance and operation of major attractions in Nanjing."

"Understood, leader."

At this moment, Song Hao was lying in bed, preparing to sleep.

Then a phone call shattered the silence.

He picked up his phone and saw that it was Zhou Qian.

"Hey, Sister Qian."

"Director Song, are you asleep yet?" Zhou Qian asked cheerfully.

Song Hao replied, "I'm getting ready. I'm answering your call right now."

"How could you fall asleep during such an exciting moment?" Zhou Qian asked, somewhat surprised.

"Excited?" Song Hao asked, puzzled.

Zhou Qian asked in surprise, "It's already midnight! Our 'The Flowers of War' grossed 1.8 million yuan on its opening day. You didn't know that, did you?"

Song Hao replied, "I know."

You should know that as soon as it was past midnight, WeChat exploded with good news for him.

However, Song Hao still felt that it was normal for "The Flowers of War" to achieve a box office of 1.8 million.

After all, "All for the Winner" has been out of theaters for less than two months, and his popularity is still going strong.

Most fans still appreciate his work.

In addition, major cinemas have added more film sets this time compared to when "All for the Winner" was released.

Therefore, it's not surprising at all for Song Hao that the opening day box office surpassed that of "All for the Winner".

"I never expected that what was originally an investment in a promotional video would actually recoup the costs and even generate some box office revenue," Zhou Qian said with a smile.

After a brief chat, they said goodnight to each other.

Before hanging up, Song Hao reminded her, "Sister Qian, no matter how busy or tired you are at work, you should still go to bed early."

"I know, I'm not a child."

Although Zhou Qian was complaining, she felt a little warmer inside.

After all, very few people have said such things to me.

Thinking of Song Hao's appearance and his serious attitude during filming, Zhou Qian couldn't help but smile.

But for Song Hao...

It was just a matter of him saying it.

After all, women are emotional creatures; a sweet tongue is all it takes.

Song Hao turned off his phone to avoid being disturbed.

But what he didn't know was that at that very moment, in the early hours of the morning, a spontaneous wave of patriotic sentiment was slowly rising online.
