Zhao Wanqing turned on her computer and checked the official website of the Southeast Asian cinema chain. Indeed, there was news that the box office of Infernal Affairs had exceeded 420 million Hua Xia dollars.
Zhao Wanqing immediately called Liang Hui, Ye Yongren, Huang Qiusheng, Huang Bo, and the others.
In just 15 minutes, a post about Infernal Affairs had appeared on the homepage of all the main cast members.
The next day, all the newspapers and magazines related to the entertainment industry reported that Infernal Affairs had sold 420 million yuan at the box office. It was even more popular on the Internet.
All the major portals and famous forums were involved. Even the Ministry of Culture reposted the news in the most prominent position on their homepage.
They had no choice. In the past month, Hua Xia's domestic movies had been defeated by foreign movies. The Ministry of Culture was under a lot of pressure.
Now that the domestic movie Infernal Affairs had finally appeared, Cao Huaqian naturally had to promote it.
The success of Infernal Affairs in Asia made the Hua Xia movie fans look forward to it even more. They came to Xiao Yunhai's homepage to denounce him.
"Yun Huang, you didn't do it right. Infernal Affairs is our movie. How can it be released in other countries first? "
"Yun Huang, hurry up and release Infernal Affairs. I can't wait."
"My heart sank when I found out that the fans of other countries saw our movie first."
"We protest. Infernal Affairs should be released in Hua Xia first."
"That's right. Yun Huang, come out and apologize. If the premiere date is moved to tonight, we'll forgive you."
.....
After Xiao Yunhai saw the fans' comments, he smiled slightly and replied on the homepage: "Seeing everyone's condemnation of me in speech and in writing, my heart is really filled with warmth. Thank you for all your support and love for me. Thank you for your expectations for Infernal Affairs. "
"The reason why we chose to release it on February 12th in Southeast Asian cinemas was that we had no choice. Their schedule wasn't suitable. Previously, Southeast Asia Cinemas had already signed a contract with "Caesar the Great". It would premiere on February 20th, and the showtimes would not be less than 45%. As you can imagine, if I premiere on the 16th, even if the results are good, the number of screenings won't meet my requirements. Therefore, I can only release it a few days in advance in various Asian countries. I hope my brothers and sisters can understand. "
Xiao Yunhai's reply was forgiven and acknowledged by the netizens. The storm passed just like that.
After earning 420 million at the box office on February 13th, "Infernal Affairs" continued to wreak havoc in Asian countries.
On February 14th, the box office hit a new high of 460 million.
On February 15th, the box office sales dropped slightly, but it still reached 410 million.
In three days, the box office grossed 1.34 billion yuan. It topped the box office of the day in all the countries in Asia. The results achieved by "Infernal Affairs" gave Hua Xia's film industry a shot in the arm and gave the filmmakers hope.
Director Wu Zixu said in an interview. "After" Valiant Heroes, "Yunhai used a classic Hong Kong police film," Infernal Affairs, "to prove to everyone that as long as we are creative, even if we are not optimistic about the theme, we can still be popular all over the world. I have received an invitation from the crew of "Infernal Affairs." On February 16th, I will go to Starlight Cinema to learn about this movie. "
Ge Wuyou said. "When foreign films dominated the film industry," Infernal Affairs "was like a giant torch, illuminating the future of our domestic films. Let's do our best to 'Infernal Affairs' and our domestic films. "
Countless Hua Xia filmmakers united and used their own ways to cheer for "Infernal Affairs". They called on their fans to go to the cinemas to support "Infernal Affairs" and our domestic films.
The Ministry of Culture posted the good news on their website, and the news broadcast used two minutes to broadcast the fans from all over the world queuing up to buy tickets for "Infernal Affairs".
At the same time, the Ministry of Culture's homepage also announced that Minister Cao Huaqian would personally go to Starlight Cinema to watch "Infernal Affairs". The support was so great that it made all the film companies jealous.
It couldn't be helped. Who asked them to not be able to make good domestic films?
In the courtyard house, Xiao Leshan smiled after watching the news broadcast.
"Changfeng, you raised a good son. "Valiant Heroes" last time and "Infernal Affairs" this time actually made it to the news broadcast twice in a row. This has never happened before in Hua Xia's film industry. Even Mo Kaixuan only went up there once. "
Xiao Changfeng smiled. "I didn't expect this kid to be able to do this. I didn't see him have any talent in this area when he was young."
Since the misunderstanding was resolved, Xiao Qifeng changed his name back to Xiao Changfeng and lived in the courtyard house with Chen Wanzhu to take care of Xiao Leshan.
After all, the father and son had not seen each other for more than 20 years. Naturally, they had to get closer.
Xiao Yunling also moved in after the winter break.
Today was the Spring Festival, and the whole family was prepared to spend it with Xiao Leshan.
Regarding this, Xiao Leshan was naturally so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
Although Xiao Leshan was once a government chief with a high position and limitless glory, he was actually very lonely in his heart.
He stayed in this courtyard house all day. If he wanted to go out for a walk, there would be countless people following him openly and secretly. He didn't have any freedom at all.
When his relatives came to visit him, they were all respectful and careful with their words, afraid that they would make him unhappy.
Little did they know that the more careful they were, the more annoyed Xiao Leshan felt. In the end, Xiao Leshan directly told everyone not to come if there was nothing to do, so as to avoid being annoyed.
And now, after Xiao Yunhai's family moved in, his son, Xiao Changfeng, accompanied him for walks and played chess every day. His daughter-in-law, Chen Wanzhu, was in charge of cooking and cooking. His granddaughter, Xiao Yunling, was also very close to him and didn't treat him as a leader at all.
Sometimes, when Xiao Leshan made her unhappy, Xiao Yunling would get angry with him and didn't even call him Grandpa. She directly called him Old Man, which made Xiao Changfeng very angry.
However, Xiao Leshan enjoyed it and didn't mind at all.
This was the first time he felt the warmth of a family since he retired for more than ten years.
Xiao Leshan smiled and said, "This shows that Yunhai was born to eat this bowl of rice. Changfeng, I heard that Yunhai and a few friends are building a cinema together? "
Xiao Changfeng was stunned and said, "Is there? I don't know. This kid never tells me what he does. Dad, is there anything wrong with this? "
Xiao Leshan waved his hand and said, "That's not it. On the contrary, it's a good thing. It's just that his identity is a little special. Your big brother is in charge of the cultural industry, and the construction of the cinema was approved by him. So, Yunhai can't have any problems with the funds. Otherwise, our Xiao family will be abusing power for personal gain. "
Chen Xiuzhu handed him a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Dad, don't worry. Yunhai always looks indecent on the surface, but in fact, he's very proud. He will definitely not use the Xiao family's name to do whatever he wants outside. "
Xiao Leshan said, "I know. Yunhai relied on his own efforts to create such an industry. His talent, temperament, and ability can be said to be unparalleled among the younger generation. But the entertainment and business circles are too complicated. Sometimes, when problems arise, even he himself doesn't know. So you have to remind him often to not fall for other people's tricks. "
Xiao Changfeng nodded and said, "Dad, you're right. I'll tell him when he comes back. "
