#"Dying to Survive" box office hit 8.55 million yuan in one day#
#"Dying to Survive" sets another record in film history#
On May 5, when entries related to the box office of "Dying to Survive" appeared on the Weibo hot search list, netizens' discussions on these topics once again ignited the Internet.

[Oh my god, is this data true? Wasn't yesterday the second day of the release of "Dying to Survive"? How can the box office be higher than the box office on the first day? This is simply unscientific, okay? ]

[Unscientific! This is so damn unscientific! ]

[Dying to Survive has grossed 16 small box office goals in just two days since its release. This is enough for many domestic directors in their lifetime!]

[Not to mention domestic directors, even for foreign directors, a box office of 1.6 billion in two days is enough for them to live a lifetime.]

[1.6 billion in two days, 16 billion in 20 days, and 20 billion in 30 days. It seems that the box office of "Dying to Survive" can impact the global box office rankings. ]

[666, did you learn math from your physical education teacher? ]

[It has only been two days since the film was released, but it has already achieved nearly one-third of the guaranteed revenue. It seems that the box office of "Dying to Survive" is very likely to exceed 10 billion! ]

[All I can say is that the box office of "Dying to Survive" will soon exceed 10 billion! ]

[Put out a flag first, and come back after the box office of this movie exceeds 10 billion! ]

The box office of "Dying to Survive" increased instead of decreasing on the second day of its release, and this situation gave many people confidence.

Especially the relevant film and television bloggers, whether they are ranked or not, almost all of them are posting videos to analyze whether the box office of the movie "Dying to Survive" can exceed 10 billion.

……

Hong Kong.

The headquarters of Huanya Films.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows on the fifty-third floor, the surface of Victoria Harbour shimmers, and the flashing neon lights highlight the extraordinary beauty of this city.

"Times are changing, and the audience's tastes are improving. Our old stuff is no longer effective after all."

Lin Zihao, the president of Huanya Pictures, looked at the documents in his hand, frowned slightly and sighed.

In addition to the documents in Lin Zihao's hand, there were five film plans scattered on the mahogany desk.

The five films, "Dark Night Pursuit", "Casino Bravo", "Neon Assassin", "Lonely Boat" and "The Wrath of the Unknown", are all carefully produced by Asia Pacific Films in the past two years, costing hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars and also bringing together Hong Kong's top directors and actors.

As a result, without exception, all five films were completely defeated after being introduced into the mainland market.

The total box office of the five films was less than 500 million, far below the expectations of Asia Pacific Films.

Lin Zihao glanced at the report in his hand and sighed, "It seems that our police and gangster films really can't impress the audience."

Just as Lin Zihao sighed, his assistant Xiao Zhao suddenly pushed the door open.

Xiao Zhao held a tablet in his hand and said hurriedly, "Boss Lin, big news! The movie "Dying to Survive" has been released in mainland China for two days, and the box office is approaching 1.6 billion!"

Lin Zihao suddenly raised his head, his face showing some disbelief: "The box office of 'Dying to Survive' has reached nearly 1.6 billion in two days? Is Bai Xingjian, a young man from the mainland, so powerful?"

Xiao Zhao nodded heavily. "It's really amazing. Now many mainland media people say that the total box office of the movie "Dying to Survive" will exceed 10 billion!"

"Total box office revenue has exceeded 10 billion? Mainland audiences are taking it for granted..."

Lin Zihao stopped talking suddenly before he could finish his words.

Because he realized something was wrong.

The box office in two days was 1.6 billion. Maybe the total box office of the movie "Dying to Survive" can really break the 10 billion mark.

Xiao Zhao smiled and continued, "Boss Lin, according to gossip, Bai Xingjian seems to be planning to make a Hong Kong movie, and some of our Hong Kong actors have already had contact with Bai Xingjian."

"Bai Xingjian wants to make a Hong Kong movie?"

Hearing this, Lin Zihao's eyes suddenly lit up, "When did this happen? Are you sure?"

Assistant Xiao Zhao nodded heavily, "Very sure, it's something that happened some time ago."

Xiao Zhao flipped through the tablet, found the relevant information, and handed it directly to Lin Zihao.

"Wow, it's these big names, how come there was no news before?"

Looking at the information on the tablet, Lin Zihao showed an interested expression on his face.

The actors are big names, which means that Bai Xingjian's movie must be a big investment.

If their Huanya Pictures could participate in the production of this movie, maybe it would really help the company's dismal performance over the years to regain some vitality.

"Have you confirmed what type of movie Bai Xingjian is going to shoot?" Lin Zihao continued to ask.

When this topic was mentioned, assistant Xiao Zhao was stunned for a moment, then said with some embarrassment: "It is said to be a police and gangster movie."

"A police movie?"

After hearing these three words, Lin Zihao's face suddenly became bitter again.

Huan Asia Films has been making police and gangster films for so many years, how could they not know the market for this genre?

He shot five films, and all five of them failed. This is a living example!

But Bai Xingjian actually still wants to film this subject?
Lin Zihao found it a little difficult to understand.

Could it be that Bai Xingjian did not do relevant background checks before launching the project?
This is obviously impossible.

Lin Zihao smiled helplessly: "I can only say that if Bai Xingjian really intends to make a police and gangster film, then he will probably take Phoenix Pictures to follow the old path of our Huanya Pictures."

Lin Zihao was in no mood to cooperate with Bai Xingjian at the moment.

So what if the movie "Dying to Survive" can get so much box office revenue?
If Bai Xingjian dares to come to Hong Kong to try out the police and gangster film genre, he will definitely suffer huge losses.

"Is the news that Bai Xingjian is filming a police and gangster film true?" Lin Zihao asked for the last time.

"Almost right." Assistant Xiao Zhao nodded.

"Okay, that's it. There's no need for us to cooperate with Bai Xingjian anymore." Lin Zihao said calmly.

Although Bai Xingjian's "Dying to Survive" had an extremely strong box office momentum, Lin Zihao was ultimately unwilling to continue to step into the trap of police and gangster films.

Huan Asia Pictures has been focusing on this field for such a long time that they have basically filmed all the content and routines that can be filmed.

So even if Bai Xingjian were to shoot this subject, Lin Zihao didn't think that Bai Xingjian could come up with anything new.

It's only natural that Lin Zihao was unwilling to fall into this trap with Bai Xingjian.

Although Lin Zihao was unwilling, there were many people in Hong Kong who were willing to follow Bai Xingjian in this trap.

After all, not everyone is like Lin Zihao, the type who once bitten by a snake, becomes afraid of the rope for ten years. …

[Are Chinese audiences crazy? The box office of the movie "Dying to Survive" has reached 310 billion won in two days. Are Chinese audiences so willing to support Bai Xingjian's movies? ]

[After all, Bai Xingjian is the man who made the series "Squid Game". His talent is beyond doubt! ]

[Why is the movie "Dying to Survive" so popular? It seems that this movie is really good! So when will we introduce this movie? I really want to watch it! ]

[Is it really that good? Has anyone seen it and given some comments? ]

[Thanks for the invitation. I just took a boat to China yesterday to watch "Dying to Survive". I can only say that this movie is worth traveling all the way to watch, especially the pole dance performed by Bai Xingjian. The sexual tension is so full! Sisters who like Bai Xingjian must not miss this movie! ]

[I've watched it, it's a really good movie, but I don't think it's as good as what people say online. I can only say it's just okay. Compared with "Squidward Gamble", it's definitely not as good.]

[This is the truth. The quality of the movie "Dying to Survive" can only be described as average. It is actually a bit of an exaggeration to describe this movie as "excellent".]

[Whether it is overrated or not can only be said from the perspective of the moviegoers, but the only undeniable point is that the movie "Dying to Survive" is indeed a huge hit in China.]

On Naver, a well-known social platform of Coreya, many netizens are discussing topics related to "Dying to Survive".

As for why so many Corea netizens are discussing this movie, the reason is naturally because this movie is produced by Bai Xingjian.

The popularity of "Squid Game" has not yet faded in Corea, and the big dish of "Dying to Survive" has been served.

In addition, the pre-release promotional activities of "Dying to Survive" were tied to "Squid Game", so it is not surprising that many netizens in Corea discussed this movie.

Corea, Jongno-gu, Seoul.

Inside the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism Building.

"Is Bai Xingjian's new movie such a hit in China?"

Park Jung-hoon, the Minister of Tourism, was inevitably surprised after seeing the relevant data of "Dying to Survive".

The figure of 310 billion won can be considered an astronomical figure in the film and television industry of Corea.

"What do you think? If the movie 'Dying to Survive' really becomes a hit in China, will Bai Xingjian still come to participate in our cultural exchange celebration?"

The 2026 Hallyu Culture Festival will be held on the th of this month. When "Squid Game" became a global hit some time ago, Corea's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism had already invited Bai Xingjian.

"I think it will happen, right?"

Li Zhengxian, the head of the Publicity Department, said tentatively: "After all, not long after we sent out our invitation letter, Bai Xingjian responded and said that he would try his best to arrange a trip so that he could participate in our cultural exchange celebration."

"But isn't there an old Chinese saying that goes 'Plans can't keep up with changes'?"

Jin Taixian, the head of the Cultural Policy Section, crossed his arms and expressed his opinion: "If the movie "Dying to Survive" really becomes a hit in China, Bai Xingjian and his related team should have countless activities to participate in, right? And it probably won't be easy for Bai Xingjian to refuse these activities. After all, in China, people attach great importance to social etiquette."

After hearing this, Park Jung-hoon and Lee Jung-hyun nodded with a troubled look on their faces.

From their perspectives, if Bai Xingjian really had to choose between his business activities in China and the cultural exchange celebrations in Coria, Bai Xingjian would definitely choose the former.

After all, compared with commercial activities, their Coria cultural exchange celebration is actually nothing. There is just an award that needs to be presented to Bai Xingjian.

Apart from a trophy, there seemed to be nothing of value.

And for Bai Xingjian, does he need this trophy?

It’s not really necessary, right?

"Today is only May 5rd. Isn't it a bit too worrying to think about May 3th now?"

Seeing that Park Jung-hoon and Lee Jung-hyun were both silent, Kim Tae-hyun could only comfort them by expressing his thoughts:

"Can't we just wait until May 5th to confirm with Bai Xingjian again? Whether he comes or not, we have time to adjust."

"That's true."

Park Jung-hoon nodded, with a slight smile on his face. "Alright, and we are not sure whether the movie "Dying to Survive" will become a hit in China. What if it doesn't become a hit?"

After these words were spoken, Li Zhengxian and Jin Taixian's faces became a little strange.

This movie took only two days to rake up 310 billion at the box office. If this is not considered a hit, then what kind of result would be considered a hit?
But it's not impossible.

That is, the box office of the movie "Dying to Survive" has hardly increased in the following period of time, so the total box office of 310 billion won is indeed not a hit for Chinese movies.

But is this possible?
All I can say is that the probability is comparable to Mars hitting Planet Blue.

Very slim.

However, Lee Jung-hyun and Kim Tae-hyun didn't say much. They just let Park Jung-hoon say whatever he wanted.

After all, when it comes to human relationships and social etiquette, Coria is on par with China.

……

"Brother Xingjian, the news that we want to make a Hong Kong film has spread."

In the office of the chairman of Phoenix Pictures, Mei Jie held a document and gave a brief report to Bai Xing.

"What about the response from the film and television companies in Hong Kong?"

Bai Xingjian quit his work, took off his frameless blue light blocking glasses, rubbed his eyebrows and asked Mei Jie.

“The response was quite strong.”

Mei Jie smiled and nodded, saying, "But one film and television company explicitly rejected us."

"Oh?"

Bai Xingjian opened his eyes immediately, with a curious expression on his face: "Which company?"

"Huanya Pictures."

Mei Jie raised her eyebrows and explained, "It's the film and television company that made five police and gangster films in two years, and all of them flopped at the box office."

"what?"

Bai Xingjian's brows suddenly frowned.

The reason is simple. When preparing the script for Infernal Affairs, among all the film and television companies in Hong Kong, the company that Bai Xingjian most wanted to cooperate with was Asia Pacific Pictures.

But now?
Is this a setup by capital? (End of this chapter)
