In China.
Late at night.
It was already in the middle of the night, but a lot of people were still unable to sleep, especially those who had watched the premiere of Wolf Warrior 2 today. Their hearts were itching to watch the movie. Although none of them felt that Zhang Ye could really challenge Hollywood, they felt that it was a little too "fantastical." They all knew what the box office earnings of China's movies were like, so all they wanted to know right now was how much the domestic box office earnings of Wolf Warrior 2 would be on its first day.
On Weibo …
"I can't sleep!"
"The first day has already ended."
"Just how much is the box office earnings?!"
"Commando 2 is out first?"
"Thirty-six million dollars?"
"What about Wolf Warrior 2?"
"I want to know about Wolf Warrior 2 too!"
Countless people raised their heads in anticipation.
Once.
Five times.
Ten times.
Everyone kept refreshing the box office update.
Under this atmosphere of anticipation, Wolf Warrior 2's first-day box office earnings were finally released that very night. The public and the industry had been waiting the entire day for the box office results to finally be handed in!
…
Zhang Ye's house.
The child was already asleep.
Zhang Ye paced back and forth in the living room on the first floor with his hands behind his back. At this moment, he was starting to feel nervous. Would it work? Would it work? The size of the cinema chains in this world should be about the same as in his previous world. The box office was definitely there. Would they not be acclimatized?
Wu Zeqing came downstairs and brought him a cup of coffee. "Have some to refresh yourself."
Zhang Ye was stunned, "Aiya, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Old Wu smiled. "I'm not sleepy."
"You don't have to wait with me." Zhang Ye said, "Go to sleep first."
Old Wu sat down on the sofa. "I'm really not sleepy."
Beep beep, his phone rang again.
His mother had sent him a message for the umpteenth time, "Is the box office out yet?
Zhang Ye replied: "Soon."
The entire family knew how important today was to Zhang Ye. This was probably the biggest turning point he had ever experienced in his career. He had bet his house, his reputation, and his career on this movie. He had bet everything he had on this movie, all so that he could carve out a path for himself and for the Chinese film industry to live up to its name!
Ring ring ring!
Ring ring ring!
A call came!
His cellphone's ringtone had been adjusted to the loudest setting. The entire first floor of the villa could hear it clearly.
Here it comes!
He immediately picked up the call. "How much?"
The voice on the other side of the phone trembled as he said a number.
Zhang Ye hung up and slowly sat down.
Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "How was it?"
Zhang Ye suddenly laughed out loud, "Hahahahaha!"
He actually laughed for half a minute!
When Wu Zeqing saw it, she understood.
…
At the cinema chain.
Looking at the numbers on the screen, the staff were dumbfounded.
"This, this —"
"Oh my god!"
"Is there a mistake?"
"Old Li, calculate it again! Quick! Quick! "
"The national box office data is all connected to the internet. It's the same for the other cinema chains. It's impossible for it to be wrong. There's no need to calculate it! This is the box office! "
"Oh my god!"
"Crazy! They're all f * cking crazy! "
"Zhang Ye has really f * * king gone too far this time!"
…
At the news agency.
"It's not out yet?"
"I've been waiting for the whole day. How am I supposed to write the script?"
"Yeah, the manuscript will be out tomorrow."
"I've already written it. Commando 2 topped the global box office for the day, while Wolf Warrior 2 did well in China and earned a lot at the box office — there's nothing wrong with writing it that way."
"Delete it, you've written it wrong."
"What? Wrong? "
"Chief Editor, what do you mean?"
"The box office earnings of Wolf Warrior 2 have been revealed!"
"How much?"
"It's over 30 million?"
"It's over. Sit tight first before I tell you all."
"Sit tight!"
"Aiya, hurry up and tell us."
"Wolf Warrior 2's opening day box office earnings — more than 260 million yuan!"
"Ah?"
"How much?"
At this moment, the newspaper firm fell silent!
…
At Yao Jiancai's house.
A call from Zhang Ye came in.
When Yao Jiancai hung up, he was dumbfounded!
His wife said anxiously, "What results?"
Yao Mi was even more anxious. "How did it go? How did it go? "
Yao Jiancai said in a daze, "Zhang 'er said that the box office earnings were over 260 million yuan."
His wife was dumbfounded. "What!"
Yao Mi exclaimed, "Holy shit!"
…
At Dong Shanshan's house.
Zhang Ye called.
"Say that again?" Dong Shanshan's eyes widened.
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "More than 260 million yuan."
Dong Shanshan said in surprise, "Can you not brag?"
Zhang Ye said, "It's true!"
Dong Shanshan did not believe it at all. "How can there be such a high box office earnings!"
…
At the hotel.
Jacques and the American actors finally received a call from Zhang Ye. When Zhang Ye told them a number, Jacques was so shocked that he dropped his cell phone on the floor. The call was disconnected!
"What did the director say?"
"Holy shit!"
"260 million yuan?"
"Impossible! This doesn't make sense! "
"Heavens, are we dreaming?"
…
At the house of the richest man.
Boss Qian Jr. exclaimed, "How can it be so high!"
Qian Haitao and his wife, who were upstairs, were woken up by the commotion and came downstairs to have a look.
Mrs. Qian asked, "What's the matter, son?"
Qian Haitao frowned. "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Boss Qian Jr. said in a daze, "Wolf Warrior 2's opening day box office earnings of 260 million yuan!"
As the richest man in China, Qian Haitao's mental fortitude was clearly very strong. But when he heard this number, his legs still swayed. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "Teacher Zhang is trying to poke a hole in the sky!"
…
At Song Qi's Studio.
Everyone in the room turned pale!
"Are you for real?"
"It's already shown online!"
"How could this be?"
"260 million?!"
Song Qi's and his agent's expressions were as ugly as they could get. This box office earnings number nearly scared them out of their wits!
…
At Zhang Ye's Studio.
At this moment, it was silent.
"How much?"
"260 million!"
"How much?"
"260 million!"
"How much did you say again?"
…
At Li Ke's house.
He was woken up by a call from a director friend.
"Old Zhou, what time is it?"
"Something big has happened!"
"What's the matter?"
"Zhang Ye has done something big!"
"What?"
"Wolf Warrior 2's opening day box office earnings of more than 260 million yuan!"
"What did you say?"
With a jolt, Li Ke sat up in bed in shock.
…
America.
At a banquet.
It was still daytime over here, but the entire Commando 2 film crew was here today. The actors, directors, investors, and everyone else were gathered together and were holding a party to celebrate.
At this moment, someone ran into the room!
"This is bad!"
Everyone looked over.
"What's the matter?"
"What happened? Why are you making such a fuss!"
That person said in panic, "The Chinese guy's box office earnings are out!"
Wilson laughed and said, "How much is it? Is it even enough for us? "
That person wiped his sweat and said, "40 million!"
Everyone laughed.
"40 million RMB?"
"That's not bad."
"Yeah, it's still enough for us."
"Our box office earnings are 36 million USD and his is 40 million RMB. Based on the current exchange rate, it's just about the same as ours, haha!"
But the person who came to report the news looked ashen.
Wilson looked at him. "What's the matter? Is there something wrong? "
That person gulped. "It's in USD!"
Wilson was taken aback. "What USD?"
That person said with a wry smile, "The box office earnings for Wolf Warrior 2 are in USD!"
In an instant, the entire venue fell silent!
USD?
40 million USD?
Wilson nearly spat out a mouthful of blood!
