Chapter 668 Additional Defendants

Zhang Yang immediately thought that after Rebus visited Musk in 13, he bought two Teslas. He drove one himself and gave one to He Xiaopeng.

He Xiaopeng established Xiaopeng Automobile last year, and domestic new energy vehicles have already begun.

Rebus is now planning to go public. Is it planning for a future grand strategy?

"Okay, I'll buy some when the time comes." Zhang Yang agreed simply.

Also, he bought it before it went on the market, so the price was much smaller. Besides, Rebus gave Zhang Yang face this time, and he also wanted to give Rebus face.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Rebus chatted with Zhang Yang for a while and left.

Zhang Yang soon returned to his residence. In the bedroom, Liu Yifei saw Zhang Yang coming back and asked with concern: "Is the matter done?"

Zhang Yang nodded and said: "Everything I came here this time has been accomplished, and I can take it easy tomorrow."

As Zhang Yang spoke, he fell down on the bed and closed his eyes.

"Where are we going to play tomorrow?" Liu Yifei also sat on the bed and looked at Zhang Yang and asked.

"I've been playing for two days. I want to be a good student tomorrow and participate in the closing ceremony well." Zhang Yang said with his eyes closed.

When Liu Yifei heard what Zhang Yang said about being a good student, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand and hit him on the leg. She always felt that he was looking after her.

The next day Zhang Yang attended a day of meetings, starting with the "Technology and Standards Promote the Development of the Internet" meeting at 8 o'clock in the morning.

It will end with the closing ceremony of “Building a World Platform for Global Internet Governance” at 2 p.m.

After hearing this, Zhang Yang felt that what he said was very good, but it was difficult to implement it.

By the way, both Lao Ma and Liu Chuanzhi spoke at the closing ceremony this time.

The closing ceremony ended at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the Internet Conference also came to an end.

After Zhang Yang exchanged greetings with a group of acquaintances, he flew back to the capital at around four o'clock in the afternoon.

The assistant on the plane said to Zhang Yang: "Yesterday, the box office of "Extreme Escape" was 2.6 million."

Liu Yifei listened and knew that the box office would be much higher yesterday, but she didn't expect it to be so scary. She patted Zhang Yang and said, "Looking at this situation, I don't need any more publicity."

Zhang Yang was actually a little surprised because the movie "Unexpectedly" was released on the 15th.

Many people initially thought that this movie would only have a box office of 8 to million, but as Zhang Yang's movie was released, everyone's box office estimates for it became million.

On the first day, they took in more than 20 million at the box office with 2800% of the film schedule.

And the release of their movie still had an impact on "Extreme Escape".

14号星期一，《极限逃生》还有1.7亿的票房，到了15号它一上映就只剩1.4亿。好在16号稳定在1.3亿没有跌太多。

In this way, "Extreme Escape" took in a box office of 16 billion in its first full week. Not surprisingly, its total box office should be around 32 billion.

But something unexpected happened on the 17th. The exposure of the dinner party made "Extreme Escape" enter the weekend mode in advance again.

But this was all within Zhang Yang's expectation. Seeing Liu Yifei's unwillingness to publicize, he said angrily: "You are so lazy."

"More publicity has little effect, so why do we need to do useless work?" Liu Yifei said plausibly. Zhang Yang didn't force her.

At almost eight o'clock that night, Zhang Yang and the others finally returned to their home in Shunyi.

The next day, when the assistant came to Zhang Yang's house in the morning, he looked at Zhang Yang with admiration.

Liu Yifei was a little speechless watching this scene. She asked Zhang Yang's assistant in a weird way: "Do you admire him so much?" If she didn't know that Zhang Yang's sexual orientation was normal, Liu Yifei would have doubted whether there was something between the two of them.

Also, this assistant has never found a girlfriend, which is not normal no matter how you look at it.

After hearing what Liu Yifei said, the assistant quickly explained: "Madam boss, the Oscar list for the best foreign language film is out. The Chinese films "Nie Yinniang" and "Broken Wind" have both failed.

But Boss's movie "Born in 82" was shortlisted, and everyone is talking about it today, which makes Boss's movies continue to be popular. "

Liu Yifei's first reaction after hearing the assistant's words was, is it such a coincidence?

"Okay, you really don't need publicity anymore." Zhang Yang looked at Liu Yifei and said with a smile.

Liu Yifei was interrupted by Zhang Yang's words and immediately laughed happily. She didn't pay attention to managing her expressions outside, let alone at home.

The assistant continued: "Yesterday the movie had a box office of 2.8 million, and the total box office of the movie has exceeded 20 billion and reached 21.4 billion."

"Extreme Escape" has achieved the achievement of breaking 2 billion in nine days after breaking 1 billion in four days.

Seeing this box office trend, Zhang Yang touched his chin with his left hand and analyzed: "It seems that the single-day box office on weekends may exceed 3 million again."

"This time Hollywood came to us with two assists at once. We are really lucky." Liu Yifei said with a smile after hearing Zhang Yang's analysis.

"Be careful, all your luck will be used up by you guys." Liu's mother complained to Liu Yifei from the side.

After hearing what her mother said, Liu Yifei scolded her: "Mom, what did you say?"

Zhang Yang didn't say much after listening to the conversation between the two of them, but said to his assistant: "You will have a vacation during this period until we go to the Golden Globe Awards. If there are special circumstances, you can come back."

"Okay." The assistant nodded and agreed.

The next day, the box office statistics of "Extreme Escape" were released. The single-day box office on the 19th exceeded 3 million, reaching 3.5 million. However, this news did not arouse as much enthusiasm as expected.

Because something strange happened that day, Lu Chuan applied for an additional defendant, which attracted everyone's attention.

Since the end of September, when three parties filed a lawsuit against "Nine-Storey Demon Tower", the movie has only made nearly 9 million in box office, and Lu Chuan has been involved in endless lawsuits. The first thing the court dealt with was the lawsuit over the original work. Tian Xia Ba Sing believed that the adaptation of the movie "Nine-Storey Demon Tower" was far from the original play "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

Sued him for 100 million in compensation for copyright infringement.

Lu Chuan is also a talented person. He directly applied to the court to add Dream Film Company and LeTV Pictures as co-defendants in this case.

The court heard Lu Chuan’s application and found it reasonable! I readily agreed to his request. So LeTV Pictures and Dream Film Company were really sitting at home, and the pot came from the sky.

I think they gave Lukawa money to make a movie, but it turned out that he was the one who relied on the film to plead guilty. It also made them the defendants. It was really unlucky.

However, Lu Chuan also has a way out, and his road is getting narrower and narrower. Of course, it could also be that he was too poor and had no money.

Soon the time came to the 24th. During this period, the single-day box office of "Extreme Escape" began to decline rapidly after taking 20 million in the box office on the 3.2th.

21-23号，分别是1.5亿，1.2亿和0.83亿。在23号电影上映满两个星期以后，《极限逃生》的单日票房终于跌破一亿。

And it is unlikely that it will rise back later, because "Dragon Hunting Technique" and "Villain Angel" are coming on the 24th.

In addition to the drop in the box office of "Extreme Escape", the film schedule will also drop rapidly.

A week before this movie was released, it remained at over 60% of the movie schedule. Even after "Unexpectedly" was released, it also had a 50% movie schedule.

Now as soon as these two movies are released, more than ten percent of the film schedule of "Extreme Escape" has been cut.

But there is no need to regret it, its box office had already exceeded 22 billion on the 24nd, and by the time statistics were collected on the 31.63th, its total box office had reached billion.

Normal movies take three-quarters of the box office in two weeks. If "Extreme Escape" is calculated this way, it will be at least more than 40 billion in box office.

This is obviously impossible, because "Detective Chinatown" and "Old Man" will be released on the 31st. At that time, "Extreme Escape" may only be able to maintain about 5% of the film schedule.

But 35 billion box office should not be a problem. 35 billion box office is 5.5 million US dollars. Even now 31.6 billion is more than 5 million US dollars. Domestic and foreign media and industry insiders are agitated.

More domestic companies want to get a share of the film industry, and their foreign counterparts are coveting the domestic market.

Of course, there are also laments about the success of the movie "Extreme Escape" in the United States.

The movie was also released in North America on December 12th, with more than 10 theaters showing it. During the four-day opening weekend, it grossed a total of US$5000 million at the box office.

But then it began to languish, with only about $700 million a day. It took three days of the second weekend to cheer up, and it took 1500 million, 1700 million, and 1100 million US dollars at the box office.

This is a total box office of 1.78 million US dollars, and it became even more sluggish starting in the third week, with more than 300 million US dollars in box office every day.

This is because there are two movies released on the 18th.

A movie called "Sisters" stars the funny sisters who hosted the Golden Globe Awards for three consecutive years.

With a box office of more than 6600 million US dollars in the first three days of its first weekend, this movie had no impact on "Extreme Escape". It may even have been impacted by "Extreme Escape".

But the other one was terrifying, "Star Wars Episode 7," which took in $1.2 million at the box office on its first day of release. In the three days of its first weekend, it took in $2.5 million at the box office.

Let's put it this way, the influence of "Star Wars" in the United States is equivalent to that of China's "Journey to the West".

Under its sweep, other films only feel astringent and trembling.

But even so, it is certain that the total box office of the movie "Extreme Escape" in the United States will exceed 2 million US dollars. Its final box office in the United States is estimated to be around 2.3 million US dollars.

I would like to thank Phoenix for his vigorous and continuous promotion in the United States. He is really an honest person.

"Extreme Escape" currently has hopes of earning nearly $8 million in China and the United States.

In other places, the European region only took in a box office of over 7000 million US dollars in two weeks. This is probably because Liu Yifei and the others did not go to Europe for promotion at all.

In other places except Hanguo, "Extreme Escape" took in about 4000 million U.S. dollars at the box office in two weeks.

Why should Hanguo be taken out separately? Because this movie exploded at the box office in the cold country.

In the two weeks since it was released, there were more than 700 million moviegoers, which translated into a box office of more than 5000 million US dollars.

You must know that the other markets including Xiaoli, Wanwan and Xiangjiang together are only 4000 million US dollars. Now Hanguo's single market is actually more than them combined.

The domestic film markets of Little Days and Han Country are about the same size, and the popularity of this movie in Han Country is evident.

However, when Zhang Yang saw the news sent by Liu Yifei in the study room, he frowned.

When Liu Yifei saw Zhang Yang frowning after seeing the folder, she couldn't help but asked: "I'm still not satisfied with so many box office."

In her opinion, this movie is a bit weak in the small days, but it is good in other parts.

"Han Guo's box office is a bit low." Zhang Yang analyzed.

"Han Country is the most popular place outside of China, the United States and Europe. Do you think this is too low?" Liu Yifei was a little surprised after hearing Zhang Yang's words.

Liu Yifei didn't know that this movie had a box office of 7000 million US dollars in the cold country.

Now there are Zhang Yang + Liu Yifei + Phoenix, but the box office is not as good as the original version. Is it because the funny elements have been removed?

Zhang Yang looked at Liu Yifei in front of him, closed the folder and threw it on the desk, and asked her other questions: "Where is your assistant? You didn't send it here yourself, and you instigated it?"

That's right, Zhang Yang gave his assistant a long vacation and left the matter of collecting relevant documents and materials from the studio to Liu Yifei's assistant.
