Chapter 339
A few days later, a strange phenomenon appeared outside the gates of a movie theatre in a film city in the Yue Lu district.
It was now but eight o'clock in the morning, and there was actually a crowd of several hundred people, crowding in twos and threes at the cinema gates.
Some were standing straight up, some were leaning against the wall, some were next to the streetlights, and some simply took out a newspaper and spread it on the ground, sitting on the steps and playing with their mobile phones.
A reporter who was passing by Film City Square and was about to go to her morning shift saw this scene and felt a bit puzzled.
The female reporter thought for a moment, picked up the camera hanging on her chest and took a few pictures, walked over and asked a young man wearing a white inch shirt nearby, "Hello this handsome man, may I ask, what are you doing here?"
The young man glanced at the female reporter and seeing that she was quite good looking, he politely replied, "What can I do here, watch a movie."
"I know that all those here are movie watchers, but it's so early in the morning, you must not have eaten yet, what kind of movie are you watching?" The female reporter laughed, with a strong sense of rarity in her tone.
The young man said, "I've eaten breakfast, what movie don't you know?"
"If you don't say, I really don't know? Is it 'Transformers 6'?" The female reporter said.
The young man shook his head and said, "Do you know about The Legend of the Spiritual Fox?"
The Legend of the Spirit Fox? Of course the female reporter knew about it, the internet was full of news about this film recently, plus those bricklayers' punditry, being in her line of work, she couldn't even think of not knowing about it.
She didn't bother to remember when the film was released, "You mean you came here to wait for the cinema to open and see The Legend of the Spiritual Fox?" The female reporter asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It's not just me, ask anyone here, which one isn't?" The youth said with a light smile. As soon as he said this, he immediately caused several people around him to echo his words.
"That's right, I'm here specifically to watch the premiere of The Legend of the Spiritual Fox.
"I got up at 4.30am and I've been waiting here for more than three hours."
"I haven't slept all night, I've waited for the flowers, I feel like I'm going to die suddenly if I don't see this film today."
"Ah .... I'm sleepy too, I didn't want to come so early, but my girlfriend had to drag me here."
The female reporter sniffed, the corners of her lips twitched, for the sake of watching the movie, and also woke up at 4:30, should be so crazy, if not for that little salary, she did not want to get up now.
"That said, I've seen the trailer for The Legend of the Spiritual Fox, and it was okay, but... . " At this point, she didn't say anything further.
Because at that moment, the doors of the cinema opened and the crowd scurried towards the entrance in one swarm, and no one paid any attention to her at all.
"It's so crazy, these people are beyond words."
His face twitched at the sight before him, the female reporter's face twitched, but suddenly, her eyes lit up and she thought of something, rushing to grab her camera to take a few pictures and left the place in delight.
At nine o'clock in the morning, The Legend of the Fox began its premiere in a number of cinemas. The film was two and a half hours long until after eleven o'clock, when the first screening was completed.
At this time, the internet was flooded with news about "The Legend of the Fox", like a tidal wave.
The Legend of the Fox, a 5D masterpiece!"
"Grandma, I've never seen such a good visual film before, it's awesome! It's much better than 4D."
"After I finished the movie, my heart couldn't settle down for a long time, allow me to watch it again before I make a review."
"Holy shit, are you sure this is our Chinese film? How could the 5D special effects be that good, the whole thing was groove-free and I couldn't stop being excited as soon as it started."
The speed of information on the internet is super fast, and with the deliberate promotion of Future Technology, within a very short period of time, "The Legend of the Fox" turned into good word of mouth and spread to the entire internet.
At the same time, that Tang Moumou's microblog was directly slammed by some good people to the point of pandemonium. Tang Moumou was so angry when he saw it that he wanted to vomit blood, but it was all because of the things he had caused.
.......
The day passed with the hot release of 'The Legend of the Spiritual Fox'.
Chapter 340
It was not until noon that Li Linfei drove slowly in his super car and arrived at Future Technology.
As soon as he entered the office, his butt was just sitting down when Li Bingling came in, and he could see that he was very happy.
"Mr. Li, good news, our movie is a big seller! " Li Bingling said happily when he saw Li Linfei.
"Is it a movie? How much did it gross at the box office? Tell me." Li Linfei, however, smiled lightly.
"As of 12 noon, the national box office of The Legend of the Spiritual Fox is about 20 million dollars, which is about 1.4 billion rmb.
Li Bingling said and hurriedly handed the data sheet to Li Linfei.
Li Linfei took it and scanned it, and his brow furrowed lightly as it was written on it, "The Legend of the Spiritual Fox" had grossed US$2,000 in real time nationwide, but it was not ranked No.---, only No.2.
The number one film was Superhero, which opened yesterday. The release of Superhero, the latest sci-fi blockbuster from Hollywood's Empire State Pictures, Superhero 3.
With over US$40 million at the box office, it grossed about R2bn.
That's a whole 1.4 billion rmb more than the box office of 'The Legend of the Spirit Fox'.
"Yo, Superhero 3 is so strong? How about the original film? " Li Linfei looked at Li Bingling.
Li Bingling returned, "This ..... I haven't seen it, but some employees of our company went to see it, and they all said that Superhero 3 is not as good as our company's Legend of the Spiritual Fox.
"Hmm." Li Linfei nodded gently.
Superhero", is a science fiction and fantasy film launched by the emperor's gate film and television company, is currently ranked first at the box office, is "Superhero", box office up to twenty-eight billion dollars.
Most of the publicity for Future Technology has been placed at home, compared to the global market, there is still a gap.
Superheroes" grossed US$3,500 in one day in China, but if it had grossed more worldwide, it would have been even higher.
Abroad, Future Technology has still only built a few contact points, it is still just the foundation, in North America, we can use GM's resources to promote it.
"General Manager Li, you immediately contact Freed, send him the original Spirit Fox Biography, tell him that within half a month must do the North American release." Li Linfei said.
"Half a month, General Manager Li, isn't the time too urgent, it will take a month at the earliest, Fried has to promote the film there, translate it, decorate it, it won't be enough time without a month. " said Li Bingling.
"No, just half a month, tell him that the film must be released within half a month." Li Linfei said.
"But ......."
"There is no but, General Manager Li." Li Linfei said.
"Okay, since you want to do that, fine, do whatever you want." Li Bingling said.
After saying that, Li Bingling went out.
Half a month was indeed a bit of a rush, but for a big group of companies like General Motors, they could complete all the processes as long as they worked day and night to make money Li Linfei didn't want, there was plenty of money.
Li Linfei is very confident that as long as it is advertised for release in North America, "The Legend of the Spiritual Fox" will definitely not be much worse than "Superhero 3" in terms of worldwide buzz as time goes on and word of mouth spreads.
Li Linfei has a sense of confidence that he believes that The Legend of the Spiritual Fox will definitely surpass the box office of the current highest Chinese language film, The War Wolf Series, and become the highest grossing film in Chinese entertainment.
