After the fans left, Xiao Yunhai treated the main cast of "If You're the One" and the celebrities who came to support him to a good meal.
At the dinner table, Liang Hui, Ye Yongren, Deng Yue, and the others praised "If You're the One" and said that they would help promote the film on their homepage when they went back.
Xiao Yunhai naturally kept thanking them, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Xiao Yunhai's "If You're the One" was 120 minutes long, and MGM Grand's "Travel the Universe" was about 180 minutes long. Therefore, when Xiao Yunhai and the others were eating at the hotel, "Travel the Universe" had just finished screening.
Wang Yifu let out a long sigh and asked Zhang Yihe, who was beside him, "How did it feel?"
Zhang Yihe smiled and said, "The visual effects were unexpectedly good, but it still didn't escape the common problem of Hollywood commercial blockbusters with a simple plot and weak characters."
Wang Yifu nodded and said, "That's what I thought. I wonder how 'If You're the One' is doing? "
"You'll know when you ask."
Zhang Yihe took out his phone and said, "Xiao Wang, how was' If You're the One '?"
Xiao Wang said over the phone, "It was very good. The laughter in the theater never stopped from beginning to end. "
Zhang Yihe frowned slightly and said, "Don't tell me it's another 'Charlotte's Troubles'?"
Xiao Wang hurriedly said, "Definitely not. 'If You're the One' is several levels higher than 'Charlotte's Troubles'. The actors in the film acted very well, and the humor expressed in the film was very special. It has never appeared in any other film before. It's a form of innovation for comedies. "
Hearing Xiao Wang's evaluation, Zhang Yihe was very surprised and said, "Xiao Wang, get me a midnight ticket. I'll go and watch 'If You're the One' now."
Xiao Wang said, "Okay, no problem."
After hanging up, Zhang Yihe said to Wang Yifu, "My people have a very high opinion of 'If You're the One'. They said it created a new form of comedy."
Wang Yifu said, "That's amazing."
Zhang Yihe said, "Teacher Wang, I'm sorry, but I'll take my leave first. Now that Xiao Wang mentioned it, if I don't go to the Hua Xia Theater to watch 'If You Are the One', I probably won't be able to sleep tonight. "
Wang Yifu smiled and said, "Then let's go together. I've already bought a ticket for the midnight show. "
The two of them walked out of the room but were stopped by Li Xuyang.
Wang Yifu and Zhang Yihe were the best among the film critics. They had a lot of fans behind them, so Li Xuyang was very polite to them.
"Teacher Wang, Teacher Zhang, what do you think of 'Traveling the Universe'?"
Wang Yifu chuckled and said, "It can be described as an eye-opener. The 500 million USD investment was not wasted. It should be the best sci-fi film in Hollywood history. "
Zhang Yihe said, "Mr. Li, your Huafeng International Studios will probably make a fortune this time."
Hearing their words, Li Xuyang said happily, "It's great that 'Traveling the Universe' has caught the attention of the two teachers."
Wang Yifu looked at his watch and said, "Mr. Li, Chief Editor Zhang and I still need to take a look at Xiao Yunhai's' If You Are the One '. It's about time, so we'll take our leave first."
Li Xuyang hurriedly said, "Teachers, please go ahead."
Wang Yifu and Zhang Yihe had just left when Li Rongguang came to Li Xuyang's side and said, "What did they say?"
Li Xuyang said, "It's the best sci-fi film in Hollywood history."
Li Rongguang smiled and said, "Very good. With their status, they won't deliberately curry favor with us. We can finally rest assured now. "
Li Xuyang nodded and said, "Dad, how's' If You Are the One '?"
Li Rongguang frowned and said, "The people we sent said that Xiao Yunhai's film is very good. It has a great sense of humor and almost made everyone laugh."
Li Xuyang said, "Dad, what should we do next?"
Li Rongguang said, "Continue to increase the publicity. As for 'If You Are the One', we'll see how it goes. "
At eight o 'clock the next morning, Xiao Yunhai had just finished breakfast when he received a call from Xiao Yuanyang.
"You're good, kid. You're going to make a lot of money again. Last night's three screenings of 'If You Are the One' had almost 100% occupancy and earned a total of 64.5 million at the box office. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Brother Yuanyang, shouldn't you increase the number of screenings for me?"
Xiao Yunhai wasn't surprised by the results.
There were 43,000 screens in Hua Xia Cinema, and Xiao Yunhai took up 10% of them, which was 4,300 screens.
Originally, each screen corresponded to 150 to 200 seats, but through Xiao Yuanyang's connections, all the screens showing 'If You Are the One' had 200 seats.
The ticket price for 'If You Are the One' was 25 yuan. According to the calculation of 100% occupancy, his total box office last night was more than 60 million.
Xiao Yuanyang smiled and said, "Of course. I directly increased the number of screenings for you by 10%, reaching 8,600 screens. It should be about the same as' Traveling the Stars'. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "You're not breaking the rules by doing this, are you?"
Xiao Yuanyang smiled and said, "Of course not. You know, your two movies being released at the same time is the first close combat between domestic movies and Hollywood blockbusters. It will be very important for us to resist Hollywood's invasion next year. Let me tell you, it's not just me, even the Ministry of Culture is watching you. "
"Huafeng International Studios is really ruthless this time. They gave 'Traveling the Stars' as high as 60% of the screenings, a total of 8,300 screens. Under the instructions of the Ministry of Culture, we will give 'If You Are the One' a similar number of screenings to test the gap between domestic movies and Hollywood movies. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "So I've become your test subject?"
Xiao Yuanyang smiled and said, "That's right. Why aren't you willing? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Of course I'm willing. Hehe, your taste is very good. A work directed by a genius like me represents the highest level of domestic movies, and 'Traveling the Stars' is almost Hollywood's most awesome sci-fi blockbuster. It's still very experimental for our two movies to fight. "
"Pfft."
Xiao Yuanyang scolded jokingly, "You're too thick-skinned. It even represents the highest level of domestic movies. How can you say that? Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. You should go online and take a look at the box office of 'Traveling the Stars'. "
After hanging up, Xiao Yunhai turned on his computer and found the webpage of Huafeng International Studios.
"Warm congratulations to 'Traveling the Stars' for achieving 162 million yuan at the box office and breaking the domestic box office record."
Xiao Yunhai had just clicked on it when the news of the box office sales of 'Traveling the Stars' entered his eyes.
"162 million? Damn, that's amazing, "Xiao Yunhai thought to himself.
Because 'Traveling the Stars' was about three hours long, Huafeng International Cinemas only had two showings last night.
However, these two movies had actually made it reach 162 million yuan. Compared to Xiao Yunhai's' If You're the One ', it was much higher.
Of course, this was also related to its ticket price.
Xiao Yunhai opened his homepage. He wanted to announce the box office results of 'If You're the One', but he realized that the fans already knew about it.
"Congratulations to Yun Huang for his second movie, 'If You're the One', for achieving 64.5 million yuan at the box office."
"Yun Huang's productions are definitely top-notch. 'If You're the One' is definitely the best of the best. "
"Although the box office of 'If You're the One' is far from the 162 million yuan of 'Traveling the Stars', considering the investment, ticket price, and number of screens of the two movies, I think Yun Huang still wins."
"Come on, Yun Huang. You must defeat 'Traveling the Stars' and show the prestige of our domestic movies."
"On the homepage of Hua Xia Cinemas, the number of screens for 'If You're the One' has been increased to 8,600, which is basically the same as' Traveling the Stars'. There's a good show to watch now. Under the same conditions, as long as' If You're the One 'can reach half of the box office of' Traveling the Stars', it will mean Yun Huang's victory. "
"Come on, 'If You're the One'. Domestic movies are rising."
Xiao Yunhai looked at the post in the comment section and smiled. He also posted a post on his homepage.
"Thank you, brothers and sisters, for your strong support for 'If You're the One'. Without you, there would be no box office of more than 60 million yuan for 'If You'. If you think this movie is not bad, please help me promote it. Thank you, everyone. "
