Full-time actor

"of course can."

Upon hearing Chen Yu's reply, Liu Yifei could hardly believe her ears.

The two had discussed this issue before. While the movie "Joker" is highly representative, it is ultimately too crazy and dark.

Chen Yu met Liu Yifei's gaze.

Just now, he suddenly understood the most crucial point.

He didn't need to refuse at all.

The fact that his family suggested going to see "Joker" clearly indicates their desire to learn more about his work.

Previously, when faced with movies involving high-risk stunts, Chen Yu's first thought was to refuse to let his family watch them.

He did this so that his family wouldn't have to worry about him.

Now, Chen Yu suddenly realized that this was undoubtedly the love and concern of his family.

What he had to do was to reassure his family after confirming his own safety.

"Our Xiaoyu has really grown up."

Shen Xiaoqin looked at her son with a look of relief.

It wasn't until Chen Yu and Liu Yifei returned to their room that the latter raised an eyebrow and looked over.

There was a hint of curiosity in his eyes and brows.

"You before—"

"Is it that you don't want your aunt and the others to see this movie?"

Putting aside how bloody and violent the movie is, the harm that Chen Yu suffers in this movie alone is countless.

After filming, my body was covered in wounds, big and small.

When asked by his girlfriend, Chen Yu nodded.

"I used to think that as long as I didn't tell them about the dangerous scenes, they would feel at ease."

"But just now it suddenly dawned on me."

"The unknown is more frightening to them."

Chen Yu paused.

He looked up at where Liu Yifei was. Even though he deliberately tried to keep the movie out of people's sight, he would eventually hear about it from others.

In that case, perhaps Chen Yu could personally guide them.

after all.

Only in this way can we have a chance to dispel their fears.

Upon hearing Chen Yu's words, Liu Yifei nodded subconsciously, naturally understanding Chen Yu's reasoning.

As for now.

Riding on the wave of popularity surrounding "Aftershock," all that's needed is to wait for the release of "Joker."

***
2010 9 Month 24 Day.

The buzz surrounding "Aftershock" has barely died down, and cinemas across the country have already opened pre-sale channels for "Joker".

The audience's and fans' passion for Chen Yu has not yet dissipated; this is undoubtedly the most fervent moment.

Plus.

Everyone was really looking forward to Joker, and they were basically just waiting for the tickets to go on sale.

In an instant.

Joker is trending again.

To be honest, putting aside whether Warner Bros. and Yu Xin's promotion was effective or not, even without them, Joker is already a hot topic online.

after all.

The immense popularity of "The Dark Knight" already demonstrated the potential of its spin-off, further amplified by the fact that Chen Yu wrote, directed, and starred in it.

It was a hit even before it was released.

The news was all about "Joker".

[A triumphant return! Chen Yu's self-written, self-directed, and self-acted big-IP production, "The Joker," is now available for pre-sale!]

[A nationwide frenzy has erupted in cinemas, a testament to Chen Yu's immense box office appeal!]

[Pre-orders open! What kind of results will "Joker" achieve?]

【…】

In an instant.

The movie "Joker" is being hotly discussed across the internet.

Cinemas across the country were filled with long queues of people waiting to buy tickets.

The enthusiasm for "Joker" is truly remarkable.

Chen Yu was reading news online. It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous. He had poured a lot of effort into "Joker".

Now, it's time for the final answer.

Just then, someone snatched the phone from my hand. When I looked over, Liu Yifei was already standing beside me.

Are you nervous?

Faced with Liu Yifei's question, Chen Yu was both amused and exasperated.

He subconsciously shook his head, but quickly dismissed his own opinion.

"Yes, I'm nervous."

How could I not be nervous? This is unlike any of my previous works; whether I can win this round depends on the final result of this game.

Liu Yifei hugged the person in front of her, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Don't worry.

"My husband is the most amazing man in the world. I'm sure the pre-sale tickets for 'Joker' will be a huge success."

Liu Yifei's eyes were filled with determination.

Putting aside other things, every work produced by Chen Yu can be called a classic.

This is an indisputable result.

Upon hearing Liu Yifei's words, Chen Yu nodded and pulled her into his arms.

It was approaching evening.

Chen Yu's phone rang, the sudden sound interrupting their tender moment and causing Chen Yu to instinctively look over.

Liu Yifei's heart was pounding.

He had already caught a glimpse of the note when he looked over.

It's Yu Dong.

He called mainly to inform us of the opening day pre-sale box office figures for "Joker".

"Take it."

Liu Yifei nervously rubbed her hands together, and when she looked at her boyfriend, her expression was slightly awkward.

Chen Yu pressed the answer button.

Soon, Yu Dong's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Brother Yu, guess how much the pre-sale box office for 'Joker' will be on its opening day?"

Chen Yu clicked his tongue in disbelief; Yu Dong was still in the mood to keep things mysterious at a time like this.

"Has it broken 100 million?"

This is Chen Yu's biggest concern right now. If the pre-sale box office for "Joker" can break 100 million yuan on its opening day, it will definitely achieve a good result.

Regardless of the circumstances, we should at least win at least one award, either at the box office or in an award category.

"Yes, it's broken."

Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Liu Yifei, who was waiting to the side.

It is clear that the latter is more nervous.

"2.75 million."

what--

Chen Yu's pupils constricted, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

He knew that "Joker" would be a good success, but he never expected the pre-sale box office on the first day to be so impressive.

Seeing that Chen Yu remained silent, Yu Dong on the other end of the phone was clearly excited and incoherent.

"It feels like a dream."

"Brother Yu, this is only the first day of pre-sale box office results. You are really amazing."

Upon hearing what was said on the other end of the phone, Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh.

To know.

The previous Joker film grossed a record $10.79 billion.

As for this time, Chen Yu can give him more than he deserves.

Yu Dong's incessant chatter filled my ears; this result was completely unexpected.

It's fair to say that the pre-sale box office performance of "Joker" on its opening day alone is equivalent to the total box office of all other films.

After a few brief pleasantries, Yu Dong finally hung up the phone. Liu Yifei was already impatient, looking at the person in front of her with great curiosity.

only.

The fact that the person in front of her remained silent for so long made Liu Yifei somewhat anxious.

"So? What did Yu Dong say?"

How were the pre-sale results for "Joker" on its first day?

When Liu Yifei saw the faint smile on Chen Yu's face, she became a little anxious.

"Oh, tell me quickly!"

"I'm so anxious! It should be good, right? I feel like 'Joker' will definitely do well."

Liu Yifei stared longingly at Chen Yu in front of her.

Even when trying to keep my emotions stable, I still feel a little anxious about the outcome.

"2.75 million."

what?
Liu Yifei's eyes widened in surprise, and her expression looked strangely comical.

"real or fake?"

"Pre-sale box office! Day 1! 2.75 million?"

Is this serious?

Chen Yu smiled and nodded.

To be honest, even he had doubted his ears just now.

Only after Yu Dong confirmed it repeatedly could he be certain of the final result.

"Ahhhh!"

"My God, I really can't believe this is only the first day's pre-sale box office results."

"Honey, you're amazing!"

Liu Yifei hugged the person in front of her, her emotions so intense that she couldn't help but tremble.

"Don't be too happy yet."

Upon hearing Chen Yu's sudden nod, Liu Yifei stopped what she was doing.

"It's normal for the first day's pre-sale box office to be high."

"Whether it's my personal box office appeal, the impact of The Dark Knight, or the situation surrounding Aftershock."

"These factors will indirectly affect the box office performance of 'Joker'."

Chen Yu looked at his girlfriend. He wasn't trying to discourage her; he was simply offering a rational analysis of the current situation.

After all, what they fear most is that the hype will fade.

only.

Liu Yifei simply doesn't have the mental energy to think about anything else right now.

With 2.75 million yuan in pre-sales on the first day, it has broken the pre-sale record for Chinese-language films and even internationally.

Not to mention its performance after its release.

Putting everything else aside, at least they've already recouped half of their production costs.

"Honey, what are you worried about! The box office has already reached 2.75 million on the first day!"

"I can't even imagine what a spectacle it will be like when it's released!"

"no!"

"I need to tell Mom and Auntie this good news right away."

Liu Yifei is now completely deaf to any opinions. It's worth noting that other films have spent considerable time and effort to barely achieve the same first-day pre-sale results as "Joker".

As for them, they easily achieved success that others could not match.

That's the charm of Chen Yu!

Seeing that Liu Yifei had already run downstairs, Chen Yu smiled helplessly.

To be honest, even he was a little shocked by today's result!
In any case, it's definitely important to maintain Liu Yifei's mindset.

Regardless of future results, at least for now, it's something that can't be ignored.

[A "crazy" box office performance! "Joker" raked in 2.75 million yuan in pre-sales in China, rewriting the history of Chinese-language films in a single day!]

[A victory for Chen Yu! His self-written and directed film "Joker" surpasses 100 million yuan in pre-sale box office on its opening day, generating buzz even before its release!]

[No superheroes, just superb acting: How does "Joker" stand out from the crowd?]

[Explosive! Joker tops the daily pre-sale charts with 2.75 million yuan in box office revenue on its opening day, surpassing numerous Chinese blockbusters!]

In a short time.

The success of "Joker" on its opening day instantly ignited the entire internet.

Even industry insiders were utterly shocked by this result.

"Brother Yu is awesome!"

"Looking forward to the release of 'Joker,' I'm sure it will blow everyone away."

"The entire city of Gotham is about to be shaken!"

"2.75 million? And that's just the first day's pre-sale box office!"

"Holy crap! Joker's going to hit $50 billion this time!"

Netizens were discussing the news animatedly, with some happy and others worried.

Laymen might not see anything amiss, but industry insiders clearly understand the significance of the 2.75 million yuan in pre-sale box office on the first day.

It's probably not just a simple 50 billion.

Chen Yu's achievement this time will surely be so astounding that it will make people tremble.

Huayi.

The Wang brothers were completely stunned this time.

"2.75 million yuan in pre-sale box office on the first day? Could this figure be inflated?"

It is clear.

Even Wang Zhonglei, who has seen many ups and downs, was somewhat surprised by this achievement.

Wang Zhongjun remained silent, having already foreseen that Joker would be unbeatable this time around.

have to say.

"Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame" being released at the same time as "Joker" is simply overestimating its own abilities.

At this critical juncture, there is absolutely no chance of winning against "Joker".

This is just the pre-sale box office for one day, and it has already reached a level they could not have imagined.

"I don't believe he can continue to be so arrogant."

Wang Zhonglei was just saying that out of anger.

In fact, he had already witnessed the power of "Joker".

But they just couldn't swallow their pride. They had put in so much effort for "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame," from pre-production promotion to post-production production, they had basically given their all.

Who would have thought?

Chen Yu won everything without doing anything.

How could he possibly accept that?
"What do we do now? If 'Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame' is released again, it will probably just be cannon fodder."

Wang Zhonglei subconsciously asked his older brother.

They put in so much effort, and this is the result.

Anyone would find it hard to accept.

"Let nature take its course."

Wang Zhongjun spoke without any change in expression on his face.

To be honest, they have no chance of salvaging the situation now.

With only five days left until the release of "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame," even with such a strong pre-release promotion, it still couldn't compete with a naturally gifted contestant.

The total production cost of "Joker" was only around 5 million, and it has now undoubtedly recouped more than half of that.

in this way.

It's simply unbearable to face.

"His ability to achieve such high results is due to his skill."

"No matter how much you say, it has nothing to do with us."

Upon hearing Wang Zhongjun's words, Wang Zhonglei's expression showed a hint of frustration.

That's right.

After this battle, Yu Xin will surely rise to the top, and there will be no one in the entire Chinese entertainment industry who can rival her.

Even for Huayi, at that point they would only be able to avoid them.

Those in the entertainment industry across China will likely be unable to sleep soundly tonight.

With 2.75 million yuan in pre-sales on the first day, the total box office often starts at 30 billion yuan, or even goes up without a limit.

Chen Yu taught the world a lesson with his strength! (End of Chapter)
