Chapter 75 Earning 3000 Million a Day
On the internet, it's mostly movie fans who have seen it sharing their experiences.
"As a viewer, I'm quite satisfied with Chinese comedy films being made like this."
"I thought 'Lost on Journey' was already very funny, but I didn't expect 'Lost on Journey 2: Lost in Thailand' to be even funnier, which surprised me."
"I feel that the future of domestic comedy will belong to Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, and Huang Bo. This combination is just too hilarious."
"Lost in Thailand is great because it's packed with jokes without affecting the main plot. The humor is cheesy but doesn't forget to evoke strong emotions, and it's hilarious without resorting to toilet humor. It's a fantastical journey of three goofy young men, filled with all sorts of lowbrow laughs! If you don't leave clutching your stomach after watching it, it means either your muscles are stiff or you went to the wrong theater!"
"The best comedy I've seen in recent years, surpassing 'Lost in Thailand'."
"A smile makes you ten years younger! 'Lost in Thailand' is definitely worth watching!"
"A comedy film is successful if it makes you laugh; there's no need to talk about depth or profound meaning. For me, this film made me laugh, so it's a success!"
"It's so cute and so fun! Compared to the first one, the production quality is much better, the pacing is better, and there was non-stop laughter in the theater. It was the funniest movie I've seen all year!"
"It's worth paying to see it again in the theater!"
"I just heard a friend say after the movie ended, 'Oh no, my contact lens fell out from laughing! No wonder everything looks blurry!'"
"I think 'Lost in Thailand' is hilarious. Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, and Huang Bo are just naturally funny."
......
The audience gave it rave reviews, which is reflected in the high score of 9.0 on Douban, and it also received high ratings on other websites.
The extensive media coverage, coupled with positive recommendations from viewers, prompted many others to go to the cinema to see it as well.
It happened to be Friday night, and cinemas across the country were packed with long queues.
The packed cinema left the reporters in awe.
When the reporters received the box office data for "Lost in Thailand" on its opening day in the early hours of the morning, they were shocked.
The box office reached 3000 million on its opening day!
This is a record for the highest opening day box office for a domestic film!
After setting a record for midnight screenings, Gu Qingshan once again set a record for opening day box office, making "Lost in Thailand" a record-breaker for Chinese films!
Reporters rushed to write their articles and send them out immediately.
"Lost in Thailand" has become a box office smash on its opening day, raking in 3000 million yuan and achieving the best opening day performance this year!
"Lost in Thailand grossed 3000 million yuan on its opening day, surpassing Red Cliff Part I. Long lines formed at cinemas, laughter filled the theaters, and the audience's response was enthusiastic."
"Lost in Thailand grossed 3000 million yuan on its opening day and received a 9.0 rating on Douban, achieving phenomenal box office and critical acclaim. Painted Skin grossed 1520 million yuan on its opening day, only half of what Lost in Thailand did."
"Lost in Thailand 2" continues the success of "Lost on Journey", grossing 3000 million yuan on its opening day and sparking a movie-going frenzy.
"..."
"Lost in Thailand" grossed 3000 million yuan on its opening day, breaking records once again and causing countless filmmakers to exclaim in amazement.
The CEOs of Huayi Brothers are also waiting for the box office data for "Lost in Thailand" and "Painted Skin" tonight. Although the midnight screening box office figures show that "Painted Skin" has little chance of winning, they still can't help but feel a bit hopeful before the opening day box office figures are released.
The two obtained the data immediately.
Xiao Wang couldn't help but say, "Brother, I think we should be cautious about investing in period dramas. If we're going to invest, we should invest in comedies. The investment is small, the returns are high, and the risk is much lower. Look at 'Lost in Thailand,' which grossed 3000 million on its opening day. It recouped its investment in just one day."
He couldn't help but feel envious; it was just too profitable.
Huayi's profit level is already quite high, but compared to this, it's really insignificant.
Da Wang always had his arm around Li Bingbing's slender waist. "If Director Feng could listen to us, then making a comedy would be great. We could not only recoup our costs but also make money before filming even starts."
Xiao Wang always felt a pain in his heart.
Feng Xiaogang has just finished filming "If You Are the One" and is already thinking about making a movie about earthquakes.
That investment is substantial, and the risks are considerable.
Unlike "If You Are the One," which didn't even require Huayi Brothers to pay for it, the fees for GG and others were enough to make the movie, with more than enough money to spare.
Li Bingbing gave his sister a wink, and Li Xueyan picked up a glass of red wine and fed it to Xiao Wang, giving him a sip.
This time, she's vying for the lead role in "The Message".
"The Message" is a big-budget production, with an estimated investment of 8000 million.
The female lead is quite outstanding. Li Bingbing wants to get this role so that he can gain fame and win some awards.
To get the female lead, you naturally have to please both CEO Wang and CEO Wang.
She felt that her advantage over Zhou Xun was that she was prettier than Zhou Xun and had a beautiful younger sister.
They're sisters!
"Mr. Wang, if Director Gu's movies are making money, then the company will invest in Director Gu's movies next," Li Bingbing said.
"He's made so much money from these movies, how could he possibly be short of money for making movies? Look at it now, only China Film Group can invest in his movies. If we wanted to invest in his movies, I doubt he would even want to."
Li Bingbing was very surprised, "How is that possible? What director isn't short of money?"
Don't let her status as a top-tier female celebrity fool you; she earns a lot, but her expenses are also high. She might not even be able to come up with three million.
"Hmph, I've calculated it. 'Nightclub,' 'Love is Not Blind,' and 'Lost in Thailand' earned him about 200 million yuan." Boss Wang sneered. "His Qingshan Film and Television now has more than a hundred people."
"Perhaps in two or three years, if Huayi fails to go public, Qingshan Film & Television will be able to catch up with Huayi."
Li Bingbing was quite surprised by what the boss said.
She hadn't expected that Gu Qingshan would earn so much money in just one year of making movies.
Xiao Wang always said, "This guy is very shrewd; it won't be easy for us to get a share of the pie."
Both of them belonged to the Beijing circle, so they naturally knew that the core figures in the Beijing circle wanted to recruit Gu Qingshan and Jing Tian into the circle, but they both failed because the other party didn't care at all.
The tricks used by the Beijing elite were all resolved with a single phone call from Han Sanping.
Li Bingbing was shocked; he never expected such a thing to happen.
Wang Jinghua left Huayi with a large number of artists, but Li Bingbing did not choose to leave. Instead, she stayed at Huayi. In her opinion, both the Wangs at Huayi were capable people with strong backgrounds. Without them, she would have fewer competitors.
She could hardly imagine that Huayi would find it difficult to even get a share of the pie.
It's important to understand that even companies in Hong Kong now collaborate with mainland companies, sharing the spoils.
Li Bingbing suddenly realized that he still seemed to be not paying enough attention to Gu Qingshan.
Previously, she only regarded Gu Qingshan as a big director like Feng Xiaogang, but she never expected that Gu Qingshan was already such a big shot.
Li Xueyan was also shocked. Earning 200 million yuan in a year was truly remarkable.
Two hundred million! Two hundred million in 2008!
This is probably no less than that of the two Wangs.
