"250,000 box office?! Are you sure it's not 25,000?!"
Jepson asked with a frown as he stopped the bleeding.
The assistant shook his head: "No, yesterday's box office was really 250,000!"
"Shit!!"
Jepson looked at his chin in the mirror and saw a bloodstain on his face.
"Go get me a hemostatic patch, you idiot!" Jepsen looked at his assistant and said, "Why do you care about the box office of that thing?! I'm going to be on the show!"
The assistant immediately put down the phone and went to find a hemostatic patch.
"Heroes of Fire" is a hit in the United States.
Many people are discussing it.
"Oh my God! Chinese firefighters are really amazing!"
"It is said that this is adapted from a real incident."
"Yeah, if it had exploded back then, it would have been unimaginable."
"I think of the Hawaiian Island where I live. The fire burned for several months."
"Is it so good? There is no theater in my house showing this movie?"
"It's not much now, but it will gradually become more."
With strong demands from foreign netizens.
More and more theaters are showing "Heroes of Fire".
Box office on the sixth day: $360,000!
Box office on the seventh day: US$480,000!
Box office on the eighth day: US$870,000!
Seeing this, Jepsen was no longer calm.
Yes, at the beginning he boldly stated that it would be impossible for this Chinese movie to exceed one million box office.
Now it has not only exceeded it, but it is still rising.
More and more netizens are tagging him and asking him to kiss the donkey’s butt.
Jepsen tweeted.
"Hey, I really didn't expect that our Chinese film "Heroes of Fire" could exceed one million box office. Let us congratulate director Song Hao from China. He has opened up the Chinese film market in our beautiful land. Let us congratulate him. "
As soon as this tweet came out, it received many likes.
But some people are questioning it.
That's Jepson still hasn't mentioned that he's going to kiss a donkey's ass.
One of them commented below: [Jepson, you don’t want to escape, do you? 】
Unexpectedly, Jepson gave a rare response.
He replied: [I don’t want to escape, but I believe no one will care about this joke. Besides, I think Director Hua Xia must be a gentleman and will not care about this at all. 】
After he finished commenting on this sentence, he went online with several netizens.
And blocked them from replying.
After many international students saw this melon, they also posted Jepsen's speech on Weibo. Aite Song Hao.
After domestic netizens learned about it, they all started laughing and joking.
"It seems that our foreign hosts are not very good either."
"Just bragging."
"Hahahaha, I'm laughing so hard, it's so cool!"
"Not to mention, when he tried his best to quibble, it was the most enjoyable time for me to watch."
"Forget it, forget it, don't argue with this kind of person."
"I believe Director Song is too lazy to argue with these clowns."
When everyone thought that Song Hao would never come out to respond, unexpectedly, Song Hao posted another Weibo post.
Song Hao: [I am not a gentleman, so I care. 】
This Weibo has pushed the popularity of this matter to its peak.
"Oh my god, Director Song is so good."
"yes."
"In order to let the host kiss the donkey's butt, he even said that he is not a gentleman."
"What is this called? This is called killing a thousand enemies and damaging yourself by eight hundred."
"From today on, I am completely a fan of Song Hao."
"Yes, Director Song is our treasured director and no one can bully him."
At this time, netizens are like porters eating melons.
Someone else sent Song Hao's Weibo to Jepsen's Twitter.
Originally, Jepsen thought the incident would just go away.
After all, Song Hao couldn't hold on to this matter forever.
But who would have thought that he would respond again.
At this time, the boss also found him.
Because the public opinion about the donkey butt is getting bigger and bigger.
Many people believe that as a well-known host, Jepsen does not keep his words.
You must dare to do what you want.
Out of pressure, the boss said to him: "Hey, Jepsen, you know there are a lot of people putting pressure on the show now, you have to fulfill your promise."
Jepsen looked helpless. He looked at his boss and said, "Boss, I really can't do this."
"You said this at the beginning. No matter how good or bad the show is, there is no turning back now. You must do it on the show tonight. I have prepared a donkey for you." The boss said After finishing, he left.
When Jepson heard this, he suppressed his anger.
After the boss completely left the office, he cursed: "Shit, everyone is sick!"
night.
The show begins.
Because this program is a live broadcast.
There were many spectators waiting for a while.
The ratings even reached their peak.
Jepson laughed a few times at first, and finally a donkey was brought up, and he said helplessly: "Okay, I lost the bet this time, and I accept the punishment."
With that said, he moved forward and kissed her.
After the kiss, he said to the camera: "I must go see this movie another day. Are there any friends with me?"
But netizens online didn’t pay much attention to what he said next.
At this moment, they were mindlessly editing various pictures.
The picture of "Jepson kissing a donkey's butt" has been widely uploaded on the Internet.
Some people also had their balls lifted up.
Make a prank.
In this way, as the heat gets higher and higher.
More foreign netizens walked into the theater out of curiosity.
at the same time.
The domestic box office has exceeded 2 billion.
Song Hao immediately announced that he would donate part of the box office proceeds to a firefighting fund.
This amount is overseen by the fire department and will be made public.
for this act of kindness.
It’s not just once or twice.
It can be said that Song Hao will do charity every time after making a movie and generating profits.
Although we have become accustomed to it, everyone still highly praises and evaluates it.
"Oh my god, Director Song is really doing charity work while making movies."
"Yeah, at that time I thought he was so stingy when he donated 100,000 yuan at the Harper's Bazaar Charity Gala."
"I didn't expect him to be so selfless."
"A selfless director shoots selfless themes and dedicates himself to selfless firefighters. How can we not support such a movie?"
However, due to the limitations of the subject matter, the box office of "Heroes of Fire" did not continue to grow by leaps and bounds.
When it reached 2.3 billion, it began to stagnate.
This is also in line with Song Hao's box office prediction for the film.
It is impossible to surpass the box office of "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
The final result should be similar to "Operation Mekong".
But "Operation Mekong" was not released overseas.
"Heroes of Fire" is currently very popular among foreign people.
The box office is rising every day.
If the initial film schedule hadn't been too small, it might have been able to break the overseas box office record of mainland films in recent years.
But Song Hao didn't pay too much attention.
This is just a small step towards going abroad.
Once everyone recognizes themselves, future films can continue to go overseas.
When he learned that there was a famous blogger, Downey, who had been promoting "Heroes of Fire" since its release.
He also had someone contact the blogger.
Then a gift was given.
It's an exquisite poster of "Heroes of Fire" and a fireman's suit.
For Downey, he couldn't put it down.
He immediately started the live broadcast.
Two of the three sentences were praising Song Hao and showing off his posters and firefighter costumes.
For a time, everyone was curious.
That's what China is like now.
They all asked in the comments of the live broadcast: "Donny, give me a ticket to China quickly. I want to see their firefighters with my own eyes."
"Yeah, I want to take a look too. I heard they don't have guns there and it's very safe."
"Real or false? How is it possible?"
Just when everyone was curious, Chen Youliang, a Chinese student studying abroad, made a video and sent it to Downey.
Donnie clicked it immediately.
It turns out this is an edited video.
It is all about taking stock of China in the eyes of foreigners.
The first video is of an overseas friend who went in to buy something and found the owner of the store sleeping on a chair. He was not worried about anyone taking his things and running away.
In the second video, a dark-skinned guy looked at the cars on the road and couldn't help but sigh: "China is really too powerful. They have all kinds of cars. We have nothing there."
The third video is of overseas people who took the maglev train for the first time. When they saw the speed shown on it was 430km/h, they took out their mobile phones to take pictures. While taking pictures, they said with emotion: "This is simply amazing, so crazy." Yes, this is China’s speed.”
The last video is of the night market.
Countless people are shopping, and it feels like fireworks in the world.
An overseas female blogger said to the camera: "There is a Chinese girl sitting alone on the lawn, there are not even street lights around. This is impossible to happen where we are."
These videos were all played by Downey.
This also gives more and more netizens a new understanding of China.
Song Hao also didn't expect that after his movie "Heroes of Fire" was released overseas, it would make them curious about China.
Soon, the overseas box office of "Heroes of Fire" reached US$3.5 million.
With a box office of 1.5 million, the system's mission can be completed.
Song Hao was not in a hurry.
After all, according to this trend, a breakthrough will be achieved in a while.
At this moment, he is focusing on "Thirty Thousand Miles from Chang'an".
At this time, President Chen of the Film Association specially called Song Hao.
"Hey, Xiao Song."
"President Chen, what's wrong?" Song Hao asked respectfully.
Chairman Chen immediately asked: "Is your movie "Chang'an 30,000 Miles" ready to be released?"
"Not yet." Song Hao estimated the time: "It will take about one month to complete the production, and it will take another two months to be released after the review and approval."
After hearing this, Chairman Chen began to think, and then said: "That's right, Director Chu from the Ministry of Education told me about this. He said that you are currently making an official representative cartoon, and you have a good chance of winning. "
"Because the China Film Festival is about to open next month, and I'm thinking, if you can hurry up and try to release it before the China Film Festival, as long as it is released, it may be shortlisted for our best art film. "
Chairman Chen's words made Song Hao immediately realize that this might be an opportunity.
So this year, my three films "Operation Mekong", "I'm Not the God of Medicine", and "Heroes of Fire" all have a chance to win awards.
But the Best Art Film Award would have been impossible to win without "Chang'an 30,000 Miles".
In other words, if I can release "Chang'an 30,000 Miles" before the film festival, it is very likely that the four films I will make this year will have a chance to win awards!
Song Hao then said: "President Chen, when will our Chinese Film Festival start?"
"It is expected to be on the 10th of next month. Of course, if your time is different, I can tell the organizer and push it for more than 10 days, but it must be completed next month." Chairman Chen is also very interesting. Be optimistic about this young man Song Hao.
After all, Song Hao is the only one taking the lead in this year's Chinese film market.
All three of his films topped the box office.
Moreover, "Heroes of Fire", which was recently released overseas, also performed well at the box office.
Such young people cannot but be supported.
Besides, Director Chu from the Ministry of Education has come to see him, so what else can he not help with?
Song Hao made an estimate and then said: "President Chen, if the China Film Festival can be postponed for 10 days, I can release it before the festival opens."
"That's good!" President Chen said on the other end of the phone: "But! The quality must be ensured. This is the official representative film named by the Ministry of Education. It must not be rough because of the deadline."
"Don't worry." Song Hao smiled and said: "If I can't catch up, I won't force it. At worst, I will compete for next year's award."
"Yes, you have to think like this. The worst it can be is next year. You must not rush to release it just to compete for this year's awards." Chen Daoming said cheerfully.
Later, Song Hao came to the company.
He first checked the progress, and then said to everyone: "If the film is produced before the end of this month, do you have any questions?"
Everyone in the team looked at Song Hao in stunned silence.
Team leader Zhang Xianfu said in surprise: "Mr. Song, we have only produced less than two-thirds, and there is still a small half. We may be very fast."
Song Hao explained: "Well, the end of next month is the China Film Festival. If we can release it on the 10th of next month, then it is very likely that we will win the best art film award at the film festival."
Hearing this, everyone became even more excited.
The reason why they choose to engage in animation is firstly to present excellent cartoons to others, and secondly to win awards.
"Mr. Song, we can! I can work overtime!"
"Yes, I can work overtime too."
“I can continue doing it when I get home tonight!”
Zhang Xianfu saw everyone's excitement and said, "Mr. Song, I can do it too. I don't have a girlfriend, I'm just alone. I can bring a sleeping bag in the company."
After hearing this, Song Hao said: "There will be a subsidy for overtime work, and it will be three times the amount, but you must pay attention to your physical condition, and after the movie is released, you will also get box office dividends."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up in the team!
For employees, no matter how much pie the boss offers, it is nothing compared to overtime subsidies!
Not to mention three times more!
And there are dividends! !
Over the past few years, the Internet has not been very optimistic about the animation market.
Even though Song Hao established an animation production department to produce animated movies.
Netizens also think that there is not much expectation.
So under such motivation, everyone in the team was excited.
"Go! Let everyone see the potential of our Guoteng animation department!!!"
""Chang'an Thirty Thousand Miles" will be produced before the end of the month! Let them see what a real Chinese comic is!!"
Asking for a monthly ticket!
I also recommend a book written by a friend, "I'm a Ph.D., I Became Illiterate in the Entertainment Industry". You can go read it! !
