Chapter 54
Faced with the fact that the foreign theaters' screening rate was seriously lower than expected, An Qi immediately reported it to Wu Tao.Unexpectedly, after Wu Tao heard this, he didn't have much reaction. He pondered for a while and said, "You try to fight for it again. If the other party still refuses, you ask them to start the movie ticket pre-sale of "Ghost Messenger" immediately."

An Qi hung up the phone with some disappointment, but she still followed Wu Tao's instructions and gave instructions to the foreign employees of the North American publishing branch.

At the same time, the same instruction was communicated to the European branch.

Wu Tao looked at the popular situation on the Internet, and said to himself: "It shouldn't be, the enthusiastic expectations of foreign movie fans are not at all belonged to domestic movie fans!"

Three days later, the news came from the North American branch first. The movie tickets for "Phantom Messenger" have been sold out. American movie fans who are not used to pre-purchasing movie tickets in advance have made an unprecedented exception this time.

As a result, in North America, seeing more and more movie fans seeking to buy "Ghost Messenger", they strongly demanded to increase the movie screening rate, from 15.00%, to 50.00% in one fell swoop, and finally fixed at 80.00%. Meet the needs of pre-sale.

Four days later, the European branch also revised the film arrangement plan accordingly.But the British are relatively conservative, only increasing to 40.00%.Even so, it has exceeded the company's expectations.

The domestic pre-sale situation is not weaker than that of foreign countries, and the film scheduling rate has directly increased to 90.00%, and it is still hard to find a ticket.

Thanksgiving was approaching day by day, and it rained continuously for several days in Ning'an, and the temperature plummeted.In the streets and alleys, there are friends who are talking about ghost messengers.On various large outdoor screens, the trailer of Ghost Messenger was played scrollingly.

At one o'clock in the afternoon on Thanksgiving Day, Lu Nan took the film's main creative lineup to the capital to attend the grand premiere.During the premiere ceremony, no one left the seat to walk around. As professionals and enthusiasts in the film and television industry, they were all attracted by the wonderful Star Wars movies.

After the premiere ceremony, Lu Nan took the main creators to the stage, and the moviegoers at the scene burst into the warmest applause.

Three hours later, Ghost Messenger was screened in theaters around the world one after another!
Countless fans wandering in the theater filled the outer space of the theater.Fans who got pre-sale tickets happily waited in line.Fans without tickets waited bitterly on the periphery of the crowd, hoping to wait for those who came to refund their tickets.

The movie theater was full of seats and there was no sound!For the first time, Angel Media's unique logo landed in theaters at home and abroad at the same time. Angel, who was mixed in the crowd, couldn't help but shed two crystal clear tears.

Regardless of the film's evaluation and box office after tonight, at least the high hopes she had placed on Angel Media were easily fulfilled by Wu Tao.

The entire 160-minute super-long Star Wars movie, no one left in the middle.Even after the broadcast, fans applauded spontaneously, dedicating this year's most anticipated sci-fi blockbuster!
After the first premiere, film reviews began to spring up like mushrooms on the Internet.In addition to the extremely popular post bar, even the forums of major film and television websites are occupied by ghost messenger film reviews.

The Chinese film forum, which has always been harsh, unexpectedly gave this film a high score of [-]!
This is already a height that domestic films have been unable to achieve for many years.

On the forum, many netizens exclaimed: "China-made sci-fi blockbusters are nothing but blockbusters!" '

'Angel Media, Star Wars masterpiece, super special effects, invincible! '

Even the little-known director Lu Nan, actor Fang Ting and others, their popularity soared overnight, and they won the titles of famous new directors and new second-tier artists.

On international forums, film reviews and discussions in various languages ​​keep swiping the screen.Wu Tao, who stayed at home quietly, watched this scene, embraced Su Tong beside him and said, "Honey, the first step of the plan, I succeeded."

Su Tong's pretty face made no secret of his admiration: "Tao, I knew you were the best! I love you!"

On the first day of domestic release, the box office of Ghost Messenger exceeded RMB [-] million, breaking the record of domestic films.

A week later, Ghost Messenger's North American box office broke through the $[-] million mark in one fell swoop, breaking the first-week box office record held by Avatar.

At the same time, in Europe, the box office of Ghost Messenger also reached a staggering $[-] million.For the first time ever, the conservative Britons have adjusted the screening rate again. After all, who has any reason to refuse such a lucrative blockbuster?

In China, the box office of Ghost Messenger broke through the one billion mark in the first week.Many movie fans are still not satisfied after watching it once, and they do everything possible to buy tickets and go to patronize again.

After receiving this box office statistics report, Wu Tao's heart suddenly became clear.The initial investment funds required for the layout of the intelligent robot industry can be regarded as settled.

However, for the time being, he does not intend to immediately launch plans related to the robotics industry.Firstly, he felt that the plan still needs to be further considered and perfected; secondly, the film's box office revenue is secure, and it will take a while.

Now his job is mainly the start-up management of military materials projects.Long before the Ghost Messenger was finalized, this military material project was submitted to the board of directors as expected, and it was unanimously approved.

Afterwards, Wu Tao assisted Su Tong to integrate some of Ning'an Iron and Steel's backward production capacity, which should be cut and withdrawn.At the same time, all necessary equipment purchases were submitted to the purchasing department.

Of course, before the construction of the production line for military materials, a piece of approval from the National Development and Reform Commission must be obtained.Now all the materials have been submitted for more than a month, and Ning'an Iron and Steel has also specially sent a commissioner surnamed Hao to follow up on the progress of the approval process and run around, but there has been no news feedback.

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open.Liu Bei hurried in with a fax.

"Mr. Wu, the approval document from the Development and Reform Commission has finally come down, and the construction of the military material production line can start!"

Wu Tao breathed a sigh of relief, that's right!

Liu Bei faxed the approval document to Wu Tao, and continued: "By the way, Commissioner Hao, who ran the approval document in the capital, said, let us be prepared, there may be someone from above coming down soon. But the approval document has been approved, why are you still waiting?" Anyone coming?"

However, Wu Tao knew it well. In the appendix of the approval report he submitted, he did not cover up the performance and production capacity of military materials, and reported everything truthfully.

Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that such military materials are scarce steel materials in national defense construction, and they can even be upgraded to the level of national combat readiness materials.

In this way, it's strange that the higher-ups didn't send people down to take a look and find out the bottom line!
