On Saturday, July 1st, "Battle of Red Cliffs" exploded with 367 million dollars, surpassing "Assassin"'s 327 million for the first time. However, its global box office took 539 million dollars. Following closely behind was "Black Humor", which took 258 million dollars and shocked the entire industry.
On July 2nd, "Black Humor", which had more screenings in Western cinemas, took in 316 million dollars, surpassing "Assassin"'s 288 million, and only three million less than "Battle of Red Cliffs".
At the same time, "Black Humor" was released in cinemas worldwide.
The miracles continued.
On July 3rd, after two days of craziness, the box office of "Battle of Red Cliffs" plummeted to 156 million dollars. "Assassin" was even worse, falling to 125 million dollars and 217 million dollars worldwide. Replacing it was a Disney animated film, "Crazy City", which took in 176 million dollars in Western cinemas.
"Black Humor", which shattered many people's expectations, took in 213 million dollars in Western cinemas and 438 million dollars worldwide.
A movie with a production cost of only eight million US dollars broke through the one billion US dollars mark in just three days under the attack of two blockbusters. Not only the industry insiders, but even the movie fans were in disbelief.
"Oh my god, one billion dollars in three days, 'Black Humor' is amazing."
"'Black Humor' took over 'Martial Heroes' to show the world that a small budget can achieve a huge box office."
"Good movies have nothing to do with the amount of investment, it's all about the effort. I look forward to the box office of 'Black Humor' surpassing four billion dollars. "
"It's so pitiful. Kung Fu Xiao's' Battle of Red Cliff 'versus Paramount's' Assassin '. The two movies have been arguing for more than half a month, but in the end, they both lost to a comedy.
In fact, Xiao Yunhai's "Battle of Red Cliffs" did not lose. In five days, it took in 1.27 billion dollars in Western cinemas. If the previous box office was included, "Battle of Red Cliffs" had already surpassed 10 billion dollars in Hua Xia dollars.
On the other hand, "Assassin" only earned 1.16 billion in Europe and the United States, with a global box office of 2.07 billion. Don't forget that the investment and promotion for the film cost a total of 1.3 billion.
If one really wanted to calculate, the profit of Assassin was far less than Battle of Red Cliffs, and even less than Black Humor. It did not even earn back its capital in five days.
In fact, if 'Assassin' had not chosen the same time slot as' Battle of the Red Cliffs', the results might have been much better than it was now. However, it was too unlucky. Not only did 'Battle of the Red Cliffs' make it suffer, but there was also a small budget movie 'Black Humor' that appeared out of nowhere.
This was the first time in the history of Hollywood that something like this had happened, but Assassin happened to encounter it. Hanks was so angry that he smashed and smashed things in his office.
Xiao Yunhai's "Battle of the Red Cliffs" was the same. Without them, it would probably have exceeded 2 billion dollars by now.
On the 3rd of July, Emma Watson's talk show team sent an invitation to Xiao Yunhai. They wanted to invite Xiao Yunhai to bring two actors from "Battle of the Red Cliffs" to Emma's talk show on the 6th of July.
Xiao Yunhai found out from other sources that the three popular movies "Black Humor", "Battle of the Red Cliffs", and "Assassin" had all received invitations. However, they were not arranged together. Instead, they were filmed one day at a time.
The crew of "Assassin" was on the 5th of July. The crew of "Battle of the Red Cliffs" was on the 6th of July. Finally, it was the crew of "Black Humor".
It had to be said that NNC TV was indeed very smart. With the actors from the three most popular movies in the world participating in the show, the ratings of Emma's talk show were needless to say.
At this time, Wu Zixu, Wang Guoan, and the others had already left.
Wu Zixu was the director of "Battle of the Red Cliffs". Out of respect, Xiao Yunhai gave him a call.
Wu Zixu did not say anything. He just let him do as he saw fit.
Xiao Yunhai thought about it. In the end, he chose Dong Piaopiao, who had captivated foreign fans, and Li Shangming, who played the role of Changshan Zhao Zilong.
Originally, Xiao Yunhai did not want to invite Li Shangming. After all, he was Korean. Although Korea was only a vassal state of Hua Xia in this world, the fact that Korea abandoned China and went to America in his previous life still had some impact on Xiao Yunhai.
However, he found out from Wu Zixu that Li Shangming had already shifted his focus from Korea to Hua Xia. Moreover, he became a citizen of Hua Xia and became an actor for his father-in-law Zhao Mingsheng's Hanhai Film Investment Company. Naturally, Xiao Yunhai did not hold any grudges.
"Hey, Sister Xue, what are you busy with?"
Su Yingxue said, "Piaopiao is preparing for the Hua Xia Jinzun International TV Festival on July 10th."
Xiao Yunhai had heard about this from Wang Guoan. This year's Jinzun TV Festival included dozens of foreign TV series broadcast in Hua Xia. Therefore, the Jinzun TV Festival, which had been held in June, was postponed to July 10th.
"Yongzheng Dynasty", which Xiao Yunhai wrote and invested in, won six awards, including Best Screenplay, Best Theme Song, Best Lead Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director, and Best TV Series. It was the hottest TV series of this year's TV Festival.
The day before yesterday, Xiao Yunhai received a call from Mo Yina. She said that the Jinzun organizing committee had sent him an invitation to attend the TV Festival Award Ceremony and hoped that he would sing a song. Xiao Yunhai rejected without even thinking about it.
Now that "Battle of the Red Cliffs" was in the screening stage and "Lord of the Rings" was going to premiere globally on July 20th, he did not have the time to attend the Jinzun TV Festival.
Perhaps the Jinzun organizing committee also knew that he was very busy recently, so they did not call to persuade him.
Xiao Yunhai asked, "What song is she going to sing? Is there a need to prepare so early? "
Su Yingxue said unhappily, "Do you think everyone is as talented as you? Piaopao's popularity has risen very high because of her role as Xiao Qiao. Her fans have reached 50 million. We invited her to perform in the first Jinzun International TV Festival. It's a rare opportunity. Of course, we have to plan well. It's a pity that we haven't found a suitable song yet. Hey, Yunhai, you're such a genius. Can you write a song for Piaopao? "
When Su Yingxue said the last sentence, although she used an indifferent tone, her expression on the other end of the phone was slightly unnatural.
Today, Xiao Yunhai's position in the music industry was unparalleled. Previously, his songs were priced at 8 million per song in Hua Xia's music industry. Now, it had risen to 15 million, but it was still priceless.
The reason for such a high price was because of Xiao Yunhai's fame.
Even a newcomer in the music industry would immediately become a new star in the music industry as long as they could get a song written by Xiao Yunhai.
There was no choice. Xiao Yunhai was a bug in the music industry. He was recognized as the number one in Hua Xia. No, he should be the number one in the world now.
Therefore, although Su Yingxue was Xiao Yunhai's former manager and had a close relationship with him, she could not help but blush after asking for a song.
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Okay. I'll think about it these two days and see if I can write a song suitable for Piaopao to sing. "
When Su Yingxue heard this, she said happily, "That's great."
Based on her understanding of Xiao Yun Hai, since he said so, then it must be close to the truth.
"By the way, why did you call me tonight?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "I wanted to ask if Piaopao is free to come over and participate in America's most famous variety show, Emma's Talk Show. You might not know, but her role as Xiao Qiao in 'Battle of the Red Cliffs' swept the entire United States. She was named the most beautiful female star in Hua Xia by those perverts. Sister Xue, if you're positioning Piaopao as an international superstar, it's best for her to come over and increase her popularity. "
Su Yingxue immediately said, "Of course, we won't miss such a good opportunity. Yunhai, you're the best. Piaopao is where she is today thanks to your help. If it weren't for the fact that you already had Wan Qing, I would have matchmade the two of you. "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Sister Xue, don't say this to Wan Qing. By the way, how's your boyfriend? "
"What boyfriend?" Su Yingxue said unhappily, "I'm almost annoyed to death by him. When I went to do activities with Piaopao, he followed me. He even gave me roses in front of so many people. I was almost embarrassed to death. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Sister Xue, are you showing off to me? I haven't given Wan Qing roses until now. "
Su Yingxue said, "I know that because you gave her jewelry worth hundreds of millions. How can roses compare to that? Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. I'll tell Piaopao this good news. "
After hanging up, Xiao Yunhai called Li Shangming.
Li Shangming had been filming on the set. When he heard the news, he agreed without thinking.
