At one o 'clock in the morning, the North American box office on the fourth day was released. The figures were even more shocking, reaching an incredible 48 million dollars.
In fact, according to past experience, a new film should have reached the upper limit on the second or third day of its release.
However, because of various reasons, the box office curve of "Women" became abnormal, so it only reached this terrifying figure on the fourth day.
Everyone in Tianguang Group naturally raised their glasses to celebrate. Whether their boss could succeed in the Olympic Games or not, at least the box office had completely exceeded their expectations.
From tomorrow onwards, the box office would probably show a steady decline, but it was not a big deal.
According to the current situation, "Women" had a great chance of breaking the one billion dollar mark.
It would be the first Chinese film in history to break the one billion dollar mark in North America. What was even more crazy was that this was a Chinese film without English dubbing, only English subtitles!
"Women" had raised the North American box office of a Chinese film by at least eight times from the 128 million of the second place, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!
As a domestic film, the entire production team and the leading actors were all Chinese, "Women" completely overturned the title of Chinese films as the poison in the box office in Europe and the United States. This achievement was unprecedented.
Considering the fact that the domestic box office had broken one hundred million in one day, the final domestic box office should be able to reach more than two billion. Although it could not be compared with the once invincible phenomenon of the New Year blockbuster "The Mermaid", it was very likely to take the second or third place in history.
Most importantly, unlike "Monsters Of X" which had rushed to 2.4 billion in the box office, so far, the domestic box office of "Women" had almost never been fake.
As the biggest investor of the film, Tianguang Group certainly deserved a crazy celebration.
If it were not for the boss's strong obsession with the Oscars, everything would have been perfect in the company in the middle of the night with a stiff face and dead fish eyes.
Everyone knew that the boss did not care about money, only about the Oscars.
But now the matter was stuck, and the boss was annoyed.
As employees, they had to accompany the boss in annoyance.
In terms of publicity, everyone had tried their best.
In the selection process of the Oscars, the power of the US dollar was also not to be underestimated. As long as there was an entry point, the boss could give the order and everyone would be more confident. Of course, they could also use Washington's name to curry favor.
However, Fang Tianyu and Lu Xiaoliang had already mobilized the entire Tianguang Corporation's hundred-man team in the United States and tried everything they could. Apart from finding two or three small fries, the big shots in the American Film Association who had a say in it had all become tortoises who had withdrawn their heads into their turtle shells. Even if they had the money, they wouldn't know where to start.
It was already three o 'clock in the morning, but the boss still locked himself in his office and did not leave.
The employees in the company went back to their hotels to rest, but Lu Xiaoliang and Fang Tianyu couldn't leave.
Buttface plucked up his courage and knocked on the door. Chen Guang was sitting in the leather chair, looking at the computer with a serious expression. His hands were on his waist, and no one knew what he was thinking.
His brows were tightly knitted, and his face was so dark that it could drip water.
Buttface stepped forward. "Boss, don't worry too much. We still have a long way to go. There are still nearly two months before the list of nominees is submitted. There will always be light at the end of the tunnel. As long as the movie continues to be popular, even if the box office really can't affect the Oscars, you will still have a good reputation. It's impossible for the jury to turn a blind eye. It's a stain on the reputation of the Oscars. "
Chen Guang let out a long sigh but did not say anything. "Sigh!"
"Boss?"
Lu Xiaoliang was very nervous. He had known his boss for such a long time, but he had never seen him so depressed.
Could it be that the blow to him was really that heavy?
Things are not looking good!
Didn't Tianguang Group rely on the boss's fearlessness to get to where it was today?
If the boss loses his ambition first, how can we, the employees, follow him to succeed?
Chen Guang sighed again and finally said, "Damn it! The national football team had lost to Iran. There was no hope for them to advance this time! Even Silver Wolf can't save us! "
Lu Xiaoliang was speechless.
Damn it! I thought you were thinking about something when I saw your gloomy face. It turns out you were watching the national football team!
Forget it! When I watched the national football team, your expression was even worse than the boss's. You really need a big heart to bear the blow.
Speaking of which, the boss is so athletic. Why doesn't he play football?
He can beat Messi and Ronaldo in a minute.
Forget it! I don't think playing football can make more money than the boss now.
While Lu Xiaoliang was letting his imagination run wild, Chen Guang turned off his computer, stood up, and stretched himself. "What's wrong? Buttface, do I look like I'm down and out? "
Lu Xiaoliang shook his head vigorously. "No, you look refreshed and domineering."
Chen Guang grinned. "Heh, heh, to tell you the truth, I'm not panicking. Let's just wait and see. At worst, I can buy over PricewaterhouseCoopers and do something to the general voting! "
Lu Xiaoliang was speechless. He really wanted to tell Chen Guang that they couldn't buy over PricewaterhouseCoopers with their current financial resources, even with the explosive box office of "Women".
After all, PricewaterhouseCoopers was a century-old firm.
However, Chen Guang was already walking out with his head swaying. "Life is lacking in everything but money. It's truly as lonely as snow. By the way, Buttface, when you are free, you can help me think of something. What should I do to let the whole world know that your boss has the most perfect body on this planet? "
Lu Xiaoliang's eyelids twitched. Damn it! Can you give us a break, boss?
"Hold an invincible party with thousands of women in one night? Then all the men in the world will regard you as their idol! "
When Chen Guang was about to agree, Liu Li's voice came from the glass. "If you really do that, I will drag you out and cremate you."
Chen Guang's expression didn't change. "Good choice, Buttface …"
Liu Li continued, "I will also cremate you by the way."
Chen Guang's expression changed greatly. "What … a bad idea! If you were born in ancient times, you would definitely be a slanderer who gave advice to King You of Zhou! "
Poor Buttface didn't know that he had walked around the crematorium quietly. He just looked at Chen Guang's back and thought, My boss has become so upright all of a sudden.
At 1 am the next day, the domestic box office for the fourth day was released. The daily box office exceeded 100 million, but it was a little lower than the previous day.
At 1 am, the North American box office for the fifth day was released. It was a little lower than the previous day, but it still reached 44 million dollars.
At 1 am the next day, the domestic box office for the fifth day fell below 100 million dollars to 98 million dollars.
In the past few days, Chen Guang had tried many ways to contact some big shots in the European and American film circles who could play a role in the Oscar selection process, but he had found nothing.
Donald's unusual silence after his streaking really frightened many senior members of the Motion Picture Association in the European and American film circles, especially those near Los Angeles.
Chen Guang didn't know what to do about it. He planned to wait for another two days. If it didn't work out, he would have to ask Donald, the shameless old man, to do it.
D * mn, you've already repented, but you still don't forget to trick me.
Even if you want to streak, you should wait until I've settled the matter. Otherwise, you should wave the flag for me after you're done streaking, right?
It's good that you're letting yourself loose, but don't trick me!
Just as Chen Guang was vexed, the Tianguang Group suddenly received an email from China in their corporate mailbox.
Chen Guang was overjoyed when he saw it. It was a secret message from Chu Zijin.
Recently, the variety show of Tianguang Media in China was in full swing, but Chu Zijin was still able to take time out of her busy schedule to solve his problems.
She had sent him some data that she had secretly obtained by using her expertise as the world's top hacker to break through the firewall of Da Mi Telecom.
The data was a comprehensive analysis of the recent call records of the mansion that Chen Guang had visited a few days ago. All the call records pointed to almost the same place!
It was located thousands of kilometers away, almost in the easternmost part of the United States, in Princeton, New Jersey!
This bunch of old bastards, in order to shirk responsibility, they actually hid from the West Coast to the East Coast. They really hid far and deep.
If it wasn't for the fact that I have a super hacker at home, I really wouldn't be able to do anything to you!
"Square Skull, book me a plane ticket immediately! I'm flying to New Jersey! "
With a wave of his hand, Chen Guang officially launched the Chen Family Army's eastbound expedition. Let's see where you can run to!
After making up his mind, there was nothing left for him to do in Los Angeles anyway. Chen Guang was now pursuing efficiency, so of course he left.
That afternoon, he took a direct flight to New Jersey. The benefits of being the recipient of the Global Civil Aviation Association's Hero Medal were obvious now. No matter when he wanted to buy a plane ticket, he could always buy the earliest flight, and it was free!
Chen Guang only brought Fang Tianyu with him on this trip. All the other employees of the Tianguang Group stayed in Los Angeles.
The so-called mighty Chen Family Army consisted of two people, and the commander was none other than Chen Guang.
Vanguard General, Tiger Leopard Cavalry, Logistics, Miscellaneous Soldier, Servant, Comfort Man — all these titles added up to one person, and that person was Fang Tianyu.
Although Fang Tianyu's previous relationships were mostly destroyed, at least he could still call out his name when he met him.
The two of them left quietly and did not make a big fuss. Even many people in the company did not know that Chen Guang had already left.
It was already past eight at night when they arrived in New Jersey. The sky was getting dark, and the two of them quietly found a place to stay. They were prepared to go straight to the Eaton Manor where the big shots of the American Film Association were "absconding" the next morning.
This group of big shots from the Film Association was quite interesting. They were so relaxed even when they were on the run. They actually agreed to go to a large holiday manor in New Jersey to eat, drink, and have fun.
This Eaton Manor had a great background. It was located on the outskirts of Princeton City, close to several universities, and had a rich cultural atmosphere.
The manor covered an area of more than 500 acres. It was lush with trees, green grass, and flowers bloomed all year round. The scenery was pleasant.
The manor had a racetrack, an opera house, a golf course, a bar, a coffee shop, a movie theater, and other entertainment facilities. There were also dozens of detached villas of various shapes and sizes.
This place was roughly equivalent to a high-end club in China, but the interior was more luxurious and focused more on enjoyment. It was filled with a strong smell of capitalism and corruption. Usually, the guests were celebrities from all walks of life in Europe and the United States, as well as celebrities from all walks of life.
Even Zuckerberg, who had supported Chen Guang in the past, and people like Mouthy Cannon Connor often brought their families here for holidays.
The people from the Film Association could be considered to be very influential. They even asked for a seven-story villa with more than a hundred rooms for an impromptu gathering.
"Despicable! So corrupt that it makes my hair stand on end! "
Fang Tianyu sat in front of a chair and took out his Sophie tablet to search for the situation of the Eaton Manor on the Internet. He could not help but complain crazily the moment he saw the bird's eye view.
Chen Guang quietly took Fang Tianyu's tablet from the side and did not comment.
He thought to himself, I've been set up by Donard too badly. I'm being unjustly made a scapegoat.
What's more infuriating is that I can't even scold Donard?
I'll make this bastard compensate me when I'm almost done with my business.
I'll use your handprint wall. I'll have to perform a full set of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms to vent my anger.
Forget it, these are all minor matters. I'll set off to stop them tomorrow morning.
"Fang Tianyu, is the car ready? We'll drive there tomorrow. "
"Got it, Boss! Don't worry about me! Boss, come and see, there's a photo of a big shot in the film industry taking a plane with three supermodels. It's been posted online! He must be at the Eaton Manor too! This is too shameful. Three fresh flowers stuck in cow dung! "
Chen Guang silently looked at his only follower, Fang Tianyu, and sighed to himself. He thought to himself, Other people take supermodels, but I take a Fang Tianyu.
Comparisons are odious.
So here's the problem. Should I sneak in or not?
