A sound of oh: starting the prosperous age of splendor

Chapter 399 Why do you still take it seriously?

As movies have been released longer and longer, the single-day box office has fallen more and more sharply.

Zhou Yu discovered that the lack of stamina Liu Zhaohui mentioned really happened.

After watching it among their own fans, not many viewers will be attracted solely by the quality of the movie.

During the movie promotion, Liu Zhaohui could clearly feel Zhou Yu's mood getting lower and lower.

"Zhou Yu, our movie's box office has exceeded 100 million, why don't you look very happy?" Liu Zhaohui asked with concern.

Zhou Yu laughed dryly and explained in a low voice: "Director Liu, although the total box office is over 100 million, the daily box office has dropped seriously!"

"If this continues, it will be almost impossible for our movie box office to exceed 200 million!"

Liu Zhaohui understood why Zhou Yu looked like this.

At that time, when Zhou Yu called out the goal of 200 million box office, Liu Zhaohui felt that Zhou Yu's expectations were too high.

Now it seems that Zhou Yu may be disappointed.

Liu Zhaohui nodded and said to Zhou Yu: "Zhou Yu, you don't have to be disappointed. This happens in popular movies. This is a common problem!"

"Although it cannot reach 200 million, 150 million is still not a big problem. This result is already very good!"

"Furthermore, part of the reason why our box office has dropped so sharply is partly your own fault!"

Zhou Yu looked at Liu Zhaohui doubtfully, not understanding what he meant.

The reason lies with yourself?

During this period, Zhou Yu has been thinking about the reasons for the film's weak box office success, but he doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong.

Liu Zhaohui laughed and explained: "You stole the show at the awards ceremony, which brought you huge popularity, but it also took away the popularity of our movie!"

"Everyone is paying attention to you winning the award, so naturally the movie will get less attention!"

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that his rising popularity in the music industry would steal his limelight in the film industry.

This is also something that can't be helped.

Despite this, the movie "Initial D" successfully reached a box office of 150 million.

It is already considered very good to achieve this result.

Among the movies released in the past few years, this box office can also be ranked in the top five.

The crew, including Liu Siu-fai, are quite satisfied with the film's results.

When the single-day box office was no longer sustainable, everyone stopped promoting it.

It can be regarded as officially giving up the goal of hitting 200 million box office.

This temporary crew was officially disbanded.

When Edison Chen said goodbye to Zhou Yu, he said happily: "Zhou Yu, next time we meet, I will give you a camera!"

Zhou Yu laughed dryly and waved his hands hurriedly: "No need, I don't have this hobby!"

"You must save your computer, otherwise, we may not meet next time!"

Edison Chen said nonchalantly: "Don't worry about this. Also, if you want to film "Initial D2", remember to call me!"

After saying that, Edison Chen left.

Liu Siu-fai looked at Edison Chen's back and said with a smile: "Zhou Yu, you see, people think that our box office is already very good, and they think we should make a second film!"

"Look, how about you write the script for the second part, and we strike while the iron is hot and shoot the second part directly!"

Zhou Yu asked doubtfully: "Director Liu, we haven't made much money at the box office, right? Is this still worth making a second film?"

Liu Zhaohui heard that Zhou Yu meant there would be no second part.

He was anxious and said hurriedly: "Of course it's worth taking a photo of!"

However, Zhou Yu felt that the box office of this movie was not worthy of making a second one.

The film invested 50 million and earned 150 million at the box office.

Deduct the theater chain's share and all other costs.

In fact, I didn’t make much money.

Although it does not affect Zhou Yu's money, for investors, the second part of this movie is not of great significance.

Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't want to film the second part, Liu Zhaohui saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

As a sub-first-tier director, being able to make a movie with a box office of 150 million is already a very good achievement.

He really hopes to make a second film.

Moreover, judging from the plot alone, there are definitely exciting stories to be filmed in the follow-up.

Liu Siu-fai not only wants to make a second part, but also wants to make a third part, turning this movie into a series.

If it really happens, Liu Siu Fai will definitely go down in history.

However, all this would not be possible without Zhou Yu.

Whether it is the screenwriter or the starring role, Zhou Yu must come in person.

Now that Zhou Yu is unwilling to film the second part, Liu Zhaohui can only find Wang Sisi.

I hope this Mr. Wang can convince Zhou Yu.

The movie promotion is over and Zhou Yu has indeed returned to the company.

Now, the movie matters and the awards ceremony matters are in the past.

Next, Zhou Yu will go all out to prepare for his concert.

This matter needs to be addressed to Wang Sisi.

When Zhou Yu appeared in Wang Sisi's office, Wang Sisi was very happy.

"Zhou Yu, you are finally back. I want to express my congratulations to you in person, but I don't even have the chance!"

Zhou Yu looked at Wang Sisi in confusion, not knowing what he had done that warranted Wang Sisi's congratulations to him.

"Zhou Yu, let's not talk about the fact that you won five awards in a row. The movie has been a hit at the box office. Isn't it time to hold a celebration party?"

Zhou Yu became even more confused and asked puzzledly: "Mr. Wang, the box office is only 150 million, is it worth holding a celebration party?"

"Of course!" Wang Sisi said with a smile: "This box office is not low. It is not a problem to enter the top five of the year!"

"Besides, this is your first starring movie. Now that you have achieved results, of course I have to do a good job for you!"

Zhou Yu said hesitantly: "But, I heard that theaters have to take most of the box office share. It would be good if we can get one third. The company probably doesn't make much money!"

When Wang Sisi heard that Zhou Yu was worried about this, she laughed and said, "Yes, that's the sharing ratio!"

“But that doesn’t mean we don’t make money!”

In Zhou Yu's confused eyes, Wang Sisi said with a smile: "This movie will also make a lot of money when it is launched on the online platform!"

"Moreover, our movie has done pretty well overseas, with a box office of 30 million US dollars!"

Zhou Yu was stunned by Wang Sisi.

Zhou Yu knew about the launch of the online platform.

But what is this overseas platform about?

"Mr. Wang, when will our movie be released in overseas markets?"

Wang Sisi explained: "It will be released simultaneously around the world. We want to enter the international market. Isn't that what you said?"

Zhou Yu was completely stunned.

I just said it casually at the time, why did Wang Sisi take it seriously?
