This director is vindictive.

Chapter 75: million on the first day, showing its dark horse nature
Regardless of the reputation, for a movie, especially a commercial movie, box office is undoubtedly the only criterion.

I have to say, I'm really grateful that these days, the film scheduling and other aspects are still relatively fair.

Therefore, "Love Is Not Blind" successfully converted its reputation and popularity into box office.

Many people are paying attention to the performance of "Love is Not Blind".

For example, Yu Youde, and the people of the Stab-Knife Cult.

Of course, they are different from Chen Mo’s friends who expect "Love Is Not Blind" to have good results. They all hope that Chen Mo will fail.

Especially the big boast of 33 million that Chen Mo had made before. If "Love Is Not Blind" does not do well at the box office, they will definitely not miss the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

After all, the negative impact Chen Mo has brought to them during this period is still very large.

In fact, although "Love Is Not Blind" was not favored, it was only compared to its competitors in the same period. It was the box office champion in North America.

Many people know that the publicity effect of "Love Is Not Blind" is very outstanding, but the specific box office revenue is unknown.

According to the earliest predictions of some insiders.

The number of screenings of "Love Is Not Blind" on the first day will not exceed 33, and the maximum box office on the first day will only be around 4000 million.

However, they soon discovered that they had miscalculated.

Because the popularity of "Love Is Not Blind" far exceeded expectations.

At Pentium, Zeng Qingpeng was overjoyed. It was because he was in charge of the publicity and distribution of the film "Love Is Not Blind," and so he was the one who liaised with all the major cinema chains.

Every four hours, the cinema chain will report a number.

According to preliminary statistics, "Love Is Not Blind" was screened 33 times in 483 theaters on the first day, with a total audience of 4670 and a box office revenue of 36 million.

This number did not exceed previous expectations, but Zeng Qingpeng knew that this was not the total box office of "Love Is Not Blind" on the first day.

The reason is that starting from the midnight show last night, many theaters of "Love is Not Blind" were full. The people in charge of scheduling the films quickly adjusted the showtimes on the day of the release and issued an order to "add more theaters based on actual conditions without setting an upper limit."

According to an industry insider who goes by the handle "Movie Circle Insider Complaints Vest", the actual number of screenings of "Love Is Not Blind" on the first day was around 6500. Based on this calculation, the first-day box office of "Love Is Not Blind" may exceed 33 million.

However, in reality, with cinemas adding additional screening rooms that day, the number of people attending "Love Broken Heart" exceeded 8000, and the total box office reached 2000 million.

The next day, when the first-day box office statistics of "Love Is Not Blind" came out, many people were shocked.

Tenghuatao was undoubtedly the most stimulated.

When he saw this data, his first reaction was: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!" He felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. You know, he also liked this work at the beginning. He went to see the movie and felt that if he were to shoot it, it would not be worse than Chen Mo's.

Thinking about what Chen Mo had said at the beginning, he became even more depressed.

The needle that Chen Mo had planted at the beginning began to show its power. Although this was only the box office on the first day, you have to know that before this, no one would believe that a small-budget domestic film like "Love is Not Blind" with a budget of tens of millions could actually get a higher number of screenings in theaters beyond expectations under the siege of "Real Steel" which won the North American weekly box office championship in the same period, and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" which won the box office championship two weeks before.

Yes, according to the November 11th screening schedules of theaters across the country, "Love Is Not Blind" surpassed "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" on the 8th and ranked second. In many cities, it even surpassed "Real Steel" and ranked first in the number of screenings.

Especially seeing that some people from the cinema chain said that they would continue to increase the screening schedule for "Love Is Not Blind", it is predicted that this movie may not be able to reach the 33 million level that Chen Mo said, but it is very likely to exceed 3 million!
Teng Huatao was completely dumbfounded, and the feeling of having made a mistake of hundreds of millions appeared again.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a little resentful towards the Herald Couple. Originally, this movie should have belonged to him, Teng Huatao, but because of them, the achievement that should have belonged to him was gone!

Why bother kicking someone when they're down? There's no benefit in that. At this moment, Teng Huatao couldn't understand what the Herald couple had done.

You say Du Chun was taking advantage of someone's misfortune to profit from it, to snatch endorsements and gain publicity, but you two are doing it for Li Chen? He's not your father. This is outrageous. Thinking about how he missed out on the chance to direct a box office hit, missing out on the chance to establish himself in the film industry and make a big splash, his resentment grew even more intense.

"Humanity can no longer stop 'Love Is Not Blind'... All those years ago, we all chased Wang Xiaojian together... Crazy! Crazy, crazy!"

《失恋33天》的票房火爆迅速使其成为学校和办公室中的热门话题，并迅猛向全社会蔓延。其度娘指数从8日的23万猛涨至9日的48万，渣浪微博和企鹅微博的搜索量分别窜至278万和148万，时光和某瓣则各自给出8.1分和8.4分的高分。

Although Chen Mo’s boasts have not yet come true, the trend has become unstoppable.

In fact, not to mention Tenghuatao, even many people in the industry were shocked by this exaggerated data.

You should know that November 11th is not a holiday or a weekend, but a working day and a school day!
Some people exclaimed, "What's going on today? Where did all these people come from? It's a weekday, daytime, morning, not a holiday, and it's half-price day, and yet the attendance is so high. It's not surprising that Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf has high attendance during the winter vacation, as they are all energetic children. But is everyone off work today?"

But the result is so magical.

Yang Mi, who was frantically filming, was also a little surprised.

"No way? Am I really going to lose? Are you kidding me?" Although even if she lost the so-called bet, it wouldn't really mean any loss to her, but when she thought about the film contract she had already accepted, her scalp tingled. If she really lost, and had to act in a movie directed by the new big director Chen Mo, and he didn't let her do it, wouldn't she have to turn it down? The thought of this made her feel a little numb.

Xiao Zhao is even happier than Chen Mo.

"Twenty million on the first day, do you think it's really possible to get a box office of 3 million?" Xiao Zhao stared at Chen Mo with his big watery eyes.

"I never brag. Um, I think we should celebrate at this time?" Chen Mo said with a smile as he looked at Xiao Zhao.

"It's to celebrate, I..." Xiao Zhao nodded, but before he could finish his words, he couldn't say anything.

Of course, the consequence was that the next day, I slept until noon and was woken up by a phone call.
