Chapter 423 International Director

"Director Zhang, Director Zhang! The statistics are out!" The next night, Lao Tozi was in the office of Beijing. His assistant secretary knocked in the door and held a folder, his face full of excitement.

"Oh? Let me see!" Lao Touzi felt relieved when he saw the secretary's expression. It seemed that the statistics were good.

24-hour statistical results have always been an important data for measuring the performance of a film. Compared with more accurate and balanced weekly and monthly data, this data is often more revealing and signaling.

Although Lao Touzi is very confident in his big production, it is his first time trying the international market. Before the results are released, everything he has just stayed at guessing. After all, it is a big investment of more than 500 million yuan. When it is almost time to reveal the results, Lao Touzi couldn't help but be extremely nervous!

After taking the folder from the secretary's hand, Lao Mouzi suppressed his inner excitement and gently opened the first page.

The familiar report allows him to easily grasp the key points. His eyes selectively ignore the dense data above and directly slip into the most critical marking data!

This look made Lao Too's heart beat a little faster!

13.22 million!

Lao Tozi is a senior director, so he naturally knows what this data means! In just a 24-hour box office, it exceeded 10 million. Even though he has experienced countless big situations, a surge of ecstasy surges in his heart at this moment!

"It's done!" Lao Taozi closed the folder with a "pa!", and then he shouted with relief!

Seeing the boss's happy look, the secretary laughed. During this period, although Lao Tou was still confident outside, the secretary also saw his anxiety when there was no one behind his back. He knew that this was the biggest investment he had made since he directed the movie, and even his old assistant couldn't help but sweat for him! In his opinion, this was really a bold adventure.

Until now, he couldn't understand why Lao Touzi believed such a young screenwriter, believed in his book, and was willing to spend a lot of money to shoot it. Of course, he didn't understand. Because he was not Lao Touzi, he did not have the latter's unique vision for movies!

Lao Taozi, who was very happy, couldn't help but call Liu Yufan. He had many old friends, but at this time, the one he wanted to share the news most was this child he had just met. For him, Liu Yufan was more like his comrade-in-arms fighting side by side. The movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" was the result of the two people's joint struggle!

Liu Yufan's phone call was immediately answered. The night before, this guy came uninvited. I thought he was in a bad mood, so he stayed with him for a while. Today, he was busy preparing for the Spring Festival Gala program. After all, it was about to start in less than a month. There were more rehearsals during this period.

"Brother Zhang!" Liu Yufan's relaxed voice came from the other end of the phone. However, the relationship between the two has become much more familiar with each other during this period. In private, Liu Yufan no longer called Lao Taozi "Director Zhang", but changed his words to "Brother Zhang".

"Haha, Yufan, are you still on the TV station?" Lao Touzi laughed before he could speak, obviously a sign of extreme happiness.

"Yes, I just finished the rehearsal. Brother, you're smiling so happily. There's good news." Liu Yufan knew what Lao Tou was worried about these two days. Now twenty-four hours have passed, and it's probably because there are results there. Liu Yufan was not worried at all whether this movie can achieve good results in the Western film industry. After all, in the parallel world, Liu Yufan clearly remembered that the box office of that movie ended up exceeding 500 million, which was a very high data. In this life, Liu Yufan was very confident that the replica made by himself in this life would be better than the original version. Not only because of the high-priced investment, but also because of the design of all the action, it was much more exciting than the original one. When it comes to martial arts action, foreigners can't catch up with it, "Chinese Kung Fu"!

"Haha, I said you kid, I don't know why you are so calm and not worried at all. That's right, it turned out to be a 24-hour box office, Yufan, how many are you? My big screenwriter?" Lao Tozi was happy and also joked with Liu Yufan.

"Hehe, Brother Zhang, I am a layman for this. Don't keep it a secret with me. Just say it directly. Anyway, I don't have any idea in my mind, so there must be a lot." Liu Yufan said with a smile.

"It's not just a lot, more than 13 million!" Lao Touzi's voice was filled with unconcealed joy, and his voice couldn't help but increase a lot.

"Oh, so many." Liu Yufan said in cooperation there, but some of the surprises were pretended, just because he remembered that the data in later generations seemed to be the case. But thinking that this was only 24 hours of data, I guess there would be more in the future.

"Haha, yes, this data is comparable to Resident Evil and Star Wars, which is a good sign. You know, their films have undergone a lot of early publicity, but the movement of our films has become much smaller, and they are still moving forward with them, which means that the audience is very interested." Lao Touzi said excitedly.

Lao Touzi was right. The popularity of this magical film abroad was indeed something he did not expect. Many people were deeply surprised by the grand battle scenes and special effects when they first saw this film. Coupled with the extraordinary scene music, they became the highlight of the movie, so the movie became popular without surprise. Many people watched it for the first time, and called more friends to go to the theater to watch the second scene again. The 24-hour data actually included four loop playback data. Lao Touzi did not forget to watch these parameters. From these data, he could see that the data of the first round of screening of "Pirates of the Caribbean" was actually not ideal. It was not until the second round that there was a relatively obvious growth, and when it was the third and fourth rounds, it showed a blowout growth!

Lao Touzi is so familiar with such data, this is a completely harbinger of a successful video!

"Really, that's really great, hehe!" Liu Yufan smiled and agreed. Although he was just a screenwriter, he was proud to see the popularity of this movie. The most important thing is that Lao Touzi is very interesting, and the reward for Liu Yufan is directly the share of the revenue of this film. Although Liu Yufan didn't know how much the final revenue of this film would be, he probably wouldn't be much less when thinking about the box office of hundreds of millions.

"My big screenwriter, just watch it, hey! I have a premonition about this movie, it is likely to break through the 100 million yuan mark!" Lao Touzi said. In fact, he is just a conservative statement. With such a movie and such a set of box office data, Lao Touzi's bottom line should be a box office of more than 200 million yuan. For the current situation where domestic movies have few works with more than 100 million yuan in box office, this box office is enough to be proud!

"Well, brother, I predict that this film can exceed 500 million box office!" Liu Yufan secretly blasted the "short-sightedness" in his heart, and simply boldly "propheedles" to him.

"What? Haha, my big screenwriter, you really dare to think about it. It's 500 million box office? Do you think it's "Tidani"? But if you lend me a good word, maybe this movie can really create a box office miracle!" Lao Tozi said happily. This happiness makes people talk more easily. Lao Tozi called for more than half an hour and was reluctant to let go. Finally, he insisted on pulling Liu Yufan for a big dinner together at night. Then he put down the phone and continued to harass his friends.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" hit a box office hit a good start of tens of millions on the first day of its overseas release. This news was a bombshell in the domestic film industry. Feng Dagang, Chen Kaige, Zhang Jizhong and other big-name directors all learned the news at the first time, and were surprised, envious and other mentalities surrounded them. When lamenting that Lao Touzi's treasure was finally bet correctly, these people put away their previous disdainful mentality and began to find the source of the film through various channels to carefully look.

After watching this, I realized why this film achieved such results and also understood the difference between themselves and others. These people are not fools. Look at this plot, the special effects, the background music, and the absolute quality, Hollywood-level quality! Their people are clamoring to march towards Hollywood and into Hollywood every day, but they know that the gap is too big. They didn't expect that this seemingly impossible goal was actually achieved by Lao Taozi!

"Perhaps, from this moment, Lao Touzi and them will no longer be directors of the same level." These people thought helplessly. They are all people with vision. Although they can't make such a movie, they can measure the value of such a movie. With this movie, Lao Touzi has the capital to advance to an international director!

"The key is that this book is well written, and I don't know where he found it. Liu Yufan? How does it look like a Chinese name? But this plot and this setting are written by Chinese?" With the eyes of these people, they naturally noticed the name of the screenwriter, while some careful people even noticed that even the author of the background music was Liu Yufan.

Liu Yufan, many directors, began to pay attention to this name from this moment on.
