After coming out of the theater, Xiao Yunhai drove home.
At this time, Hua Xia had already set off a huge craze on the Internet.
It turned out that some of the magazine editors who went to the premiere of "2012" took photos of the government officials watching the movie and posted the video of Mu Gaofeng's speech on the Internet, which immediately caused an unprecedented sensation in Hua Xia.
"F * ck, it can't be, right? Am I seeing things? There are actually so many retired government officials at the premiere of "2012". "
"Cloud Emperor, you're awesome. This kind of premiere is simply unprecedented. Could it be photoshopped? "
"You're joking. Even if you give those online magazines ten guts, they wouldn't dare to do this. "
"Listen to Boss Mu's speech. His words are full of praise for Yun Huang. Even he said that" 2012 "is the most shocking movie he has ever seen. I really can't believe how amazing the movie will be."
"Originally, I thought that the ticket price of" 2012 "was too expensive and I didn't want to see it. But now that even the government officials are praising it, I'd better watch it. I can't let "2012" slip away just because of 200 yuan. "
"Damn. Everyone, go and see the new video. God, whether it's the stars, directors, or film critics, they all gave "2012" 10 points. That's terrifying. "
The netizens quickly found the entertainment website and watched more than ten videos on it. They were all scenes of stars and film critics being interviewed.
After watching it, the netizens couldn't stand it anymore.
"No, I must go and see" 2012 "tomorrow."
"That's right. Even the strictest five-star film critic, Mr. Zhu, gave it full marks. It would be a pity not to watch it. "
At this time, the score on the Internet also appeared.
In the expert column, 73 film critics gave a record-breaking score of 9.87 points. In the fan column, 8,431 people gave a score of 9.92 points.
No matter which category it was, it broke the record on the Internet.
"2012" became popular in China, and it was extremely popular.
When Xiao Yunhai returned home, Zhao Wanqing was browsing the major entertainment websites.
Seeing Xiao Yunhai come back, Zhao Wanqing quickly went up to him, hooked his neck, and kissed him, saying, "Hubby, you're amazing."
Xiao Yunhai said proudly, "Of course, don't you know who I am?"
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "There are posts about '2012' everywhere on the Internet, especially those retired senior officials that Grandpa found. They have greatly increased the expectations of movie fans for our '2012'. The ratings on the website are all above 9.8. This has never happened before in the entertainment industry. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "This is the first time a 3D movie has appeared, so the shock it brings to everyone is naturally incomparably strong. We're just taking advantage of the situation. After a large number of 3D movies appeared, it wouldn't take long for everyone to get used to it. At that time, not to mention 200 yuan, even if it was 50 yuan, it would be good enough to be able to watch it in the cinema. Oh right, how is' Resident Evil '? "
Zhao Wanqing said, "It should be very bad in Hua Xia. 'Resident Evil' is facing unprecedented resistance from movie fans. The entertainment news said that their cinema halls are empty. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Now that '2012' is completely popular in Hua Xia, I believe that the results of 'Resident Evil' will only get worse. Wife, if we win 20 billion USD in the end, we might as well donate it. It's better if we don't use this kind of ill-gotten wealth. "
Zhao Wanqing nodded and said, "I think so too. Do you want to say it on the homepage now? It can also be considered as publicity for the movie. "
Xiao Yunhai thought about it and said, "That's good too."
Xiao Yunhai went online and went to his homepage. He posted a post there.
"Dear brothers and sisters, '2012' is finally available to everyone today. I just looked at the comments and found that everyone is very satisfied with this 3D movie. This makes me feel a deep sense of joy and satisfaction. I'm really grateful that everyone likes this movie. "
"Everyone should know about the 20 billion USD bet between '2012' and 'Resident Evil'. I discussed it with my boss and decided that if we win 20 billion USD in the end, we will donate it all to help people who need help more.
"That's all for now. Thank you again."
Once Xiao Yunhai's post was posted, the internet immediately blew up.
"Oh my god, am I seeing things? Yun Huang is actually donating 20 billion USD? "
"This should be the largest donation in the world."
"Yun Huang is so cool. As expected of my idol. He doesn't want 20 billion USD just like that. How generous. "
"Take a good look above. The premise is that Yun Huang needs to win this bet. I think it's more likely that he's doing this for publicity. "
"The person above is an idiot. Any movie fan who watched '2012' tonight will definitely not think that Yun Huang will lose. "
"That's right. '2012' is the most shocking and touching movie in the world so far. Also, even if this is Yun Huang's deliberate publicity, I'm willing to accept it. He's already donating 20 billion USD to charity. Are we not even willing to part with 200 USD? "
"No matter what, I'm definitely going to watch '2012' tomorrow."
"I have nothing to say. I support Yun Huang. Good luck to '2012'."
Countless netizens were shocked by Xiao Yunhai's donation of 20 billion USD. They all expressed that they would use it to support '2012' in theaters and indirectly contribute to charity.
The next afternoon, the box office of Xiao Yunhai's' 2012 'was released. The 3,000 screens in Hua Xia contributed 128 million USD. Other than the US, Japan, and South Korea, the box office in other regions was 48 million USD. In other words, the global box office of '2012' was 176 million USD.
The word of mouth couldn't be any better. The movie's score didn't drop below 9.5 on all the regional movie websites.
Its opponent, 'Resident Evil', was also very impressive. The three premieres brought in 286 million USD worldwide, showing the momentum of 'War Against the Aliens'. The word of mouth was also very good, around 9 points.
However, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that even though 'Resident Evil' had doubled the box office of '2012', it had actually lost.
Because the average ticket price was 30 USD. 286 million USD equated to more than 9 million people watching the movie in theaters.
Xiao Yunhai's' 2012 'had an average ticket price of 65 USD. Less than 3 million people watched the movie.
Not to mention, the three major ticket markets in the US, South Korea, and Japan hadn't even been released yet.
– Paramount Headquarters –
Hanks looked at the financial report of 'Resident Evil' and frowned.
"This is ridiculous. Hua Xia only contributed 21 million USD. This doesn't match the second place in the world."
'Resident Evil' had a box office of 123 million USD in North America, 84 million USD in Europe, and 65 million USD in Asia. Hua Xia only contributed 21 million USD. This was a joke.
Hanks knew that Hua Xia's fans were very upset that '2012' couldn't be released in the US. They expressed their intention to boycott 'Resident Evil' online.
However, due to the lack of time, even though Hanks had asked people to do some work, under the collective condemnation of tens of millions of fans, it was still a drop in the bucket.
Despite such a big problem, Hanks didn't think that the situation was irreversible.
Because based on previous practices, as long as the promotion was good, the boycott of Hua Xia's fans shouldn't last for long.
However, he didn't expect them to be so determined this time. This surprised Hanks a little.
Weaver said, "How about this, Mr. Hanks. Tonight, I'll bring the main cast and crew to Hua Xia to promote. We'll try to walk around their major cities and then go to the major TV stations to participate in some interview programs."
Hanks nodded and said, "That's good. Actually, I'm not too worried about this. The most troublesome thing is the ticket price of '2012'. In just three screenings, it had earned US $176 million with more than 4,000 screens. If we have ten thousand USD, wouldn't it reach one billion USD in a day? "
Indeed, with eight screenings a day and a 50% attendance rate, '2012' could really exceed one billion USD.
Thinking about this, Hanks shuddered.
