"The Pirates of the Caribbean" has a box office of over 100 million, a myth of a Chinese director!"

"Hollywood crisis, pirate invasion!"

"A historic moment, Chinese directors are breaking the world!"

...

It seemed as if overnight, the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" quickly swept across the United States and the European continent like a frenzy. The continuous popularity of a whole week surprised many professional film critics and film company owners! They did not expect that such a film that they were not optimistic about before and was filmed by Chinese directors would achieve such impressive results!

That's right, compared to the 130 million tickets on the first day, the box office performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in the next week was even more courageous. This film was like an obsession, attracting countless fans to watch it! After watching it, people still talked about the magic of the movie with relish, such as "cool stunts", "beautiful action", "atmospheric music", etc., which are words that movie fans often talk about. No matter which director they filmed the film, they only know that the movie is great and very good, that's enough.

Just like a chain reaction, one passes to ten, ten passes to hundreds, and in the end more and more people walked into the cinema with curiosity to take a look at this magical film that family and friends said.

The theaters that rejected "Pirates of the Caribbean" at the beginning could not sit still. At the beginning, they made things difficult for the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in their theaters with the intention of boycotting foreign films. But now, in turn, they begged the Chinese director and the film company from mysterious China to give them the right to screen. After all, these theaters are profit-oriented and no one will be able to get over money. When the box office of other theaters that have released this film is full of popularity, their customers are losing a lot. Any boss will not tolerate such a thing!

So, these theaters began to put down their figure and compromise with the Chinese director, and the Chinese director now offered a share of exactly the same as local films. But these theaters also accepted it happily. As long as they can make money, they would not care whose money belongs to. As for those film companies, would they be dissatisfied? Oh, forget it, that's their business.

As a result, from 13 million to 15 million, then 18 million, and then to 20 million, the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" was released in just one week, and by the weekend, it had reached an astonishing 160 million! This result was only less than 10 million from the number one "Star Wars", and it pushed the third place "Resident Evil" down to a box office of 20 million!

Those foreign film companies were stupid. They never expected that this crossing river would be so fierce. Aren’t Chinese movies never good? How could such a freak jump out?

Although the story is a Western story and the actors are all foreign actors, it doesn't matter. What's important is that this is a movie made by Chinese people. They shoot their own subjects, but the result is even better than the ones they shoot. Such a result makes those film companies unable to accept it, especially those directors, who feel that their prestige is unprecedentedly challenged!

And those media all rushed to this movie like sharks smelling fishy smell. Many reporters rushed to China and tried every means to find Lao Tou and interview the great director who created miracles. If it is inconvenient to come, they will interview those movie fans, other film companies, and film critics. In short, all the people and things that can have a relationship with the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" are the targets these reporters are the key pursuits!

At this point, Lao Tou no longer needs to advertise. Now there are reports about him, which are full of media in the Western film industry. People are talking about this young Chinese director. Some praise him for his youthful and promiscuousness, and some ridiculed him. But no matter what, it cannot change the fact that "Pirates of the Caribbean" is so popular!

That's right, it reached a box office of 160 million in one week, directly raising the Western end of the year to the second place. Such a big deal, looking at the modern Chinese film industry, has never been done before. Such an achievement is equivalent to Chinese football winning the World Cup.

Although it is still less than 10 million box office away from the No. 1 Star Wars, but insiders know that this is not a big gap. Not to mention that "Pirates of the Caribbean" is still maintaining a strong upward momentum, and "Star Wars" has almost digested the enthusiasm of fans due to the early promotion. As the mainland China has not yet been released, "Star Wars" cannot compare.

Yes, it is released in China. This is another killer move by Lao Touzi.

Although the film market in mainland China is not as good as foreign countries, it has a large base after all. Moreover, due to the current fame of this movie, many movie fans only feel proud. For this movie that has made the Chinese people angry and showed their faces, they are all treated as a heroic film. It can be foreseeable that when it was released in China, due to the support of this movie, even if those movie fans do not like this movie, a considerable number of them will buy tickets to the cinema for their fame and the mentality of "trampling foreign movies". What's more, this itself is a very, very exciting movie!

So, this time, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is probably going to create an unprecedented box office miracle!

How much will it rush? People dare not predict it. But what people know is that now, Lao Touzi will wake up from laughing in his dreams.

That's right, compared to the huge pressure I had suffered from when I was filming this movie some time ago, Lao Touzi really thinks it is underground and in the sky. In just one week, nearly 200 million box office, and just the revenue from the share, he has recovered the investment in the movie. How much will the next profit be? 50 million? 80 million? 100 million? Or more? Everything is possible!

And for him now, it is no longer just a matter of money. This is the most glorious moment in his life as a director! Lao Touzi knew that this film was probably his peak. But what he didn't know was that with the monster Liu Yufan, such a miracle was just the beginning.

So, what is Lao Touzi busy with now?

Of course there is only one thing, that is, the premiere of domestic movies.

At the premiere abroad, Lao Tou flew alone to New York. The scene was a bit deserted and no one paid attention to it. Although the box office results of a week have slapped the guys who were indifferent and ridiculed at the time, Lao Tou was still very concerned about the neglected time. That time, he tasted the bullying of the overseas film industry and felt that it was difficult for domestic movies to open up foreign markets. This time, when he returned to his own "base", Lao Tou would not be able to forgive himself if he didn't make a big splash again.

This is a high-profile person and a lively person.

Now, it is time for him to take the altar in the domestic film industry, so naturally he will not miss such an opportunity.

Jing City, Silver Valley Cinema.

This is one of the few large cinemas in Beijing. It is located in Dongcheng District. It is a six-story building. The building is mainly gray tones. It has twelve cinemas of different sizes. The largest one can accommodate 800 viewers to watch movies at the same time. This is also one of the few cinemas in China with 3D screening function. Although the technology is still relatively backward polarization technology and is not more advanced time division technology, it is already very advanced than most cinemas in China that use red and blue glasses to achieve 3D effects.

The hall on the first floor of Silver Valley Cinema is about 700 to 800 square meters. There is a small stage in the center, which is usually dedicated to press conferences and premieres for major events in the film industry. Since it is one of the largest cinemas in Beijing and has the greatest influence, many films will choose to premiere here when they are released.

Weekends are the peak hours of cinemas.

At less than six o'clock in the morning, the cinema staff began to get busy. They and some employees of Lao Tozi's Great Wall Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd. began to arrange the hall. Today, both Silver Valley Cinema and Great Wall Film and Television are a very important day, because today, the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in mainland China will be held here. This is an amazing event. If you ask which movie is the most popular in the domestic film industry, it is undoubtedly the "Pirates of the Caribbean". Although it has not been released yet, its name has long been spread to the ears of movie fans and people in the circle. The shocking achievements of this film overseas have also made the premiere much heavier.

Shao Tiancheng, the manager of Silver Valley Cinema, personally took the initiative and directed his brothers to work. Silver Valley Cinema is Shaw's theater chain and the largest "base" of Shaw's Brothers in Beijing. Such an important position naturally requires core characters to take charge. Shao Tiancheng has been here for more than ten years. It can be said that he has witnessed the rise and fall of domestic films, but he has not seen domestic films so powerful. For the achievements of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in this week, he can only describe it as a "miracle". As an old man who has been in the circle for more than ten years, he knows better than anyone else the significance of this premiere. It is precisely because of this that he does everything himself and dare not be careless at all!

At 7 o'clock in the morning, guests and media also arrived one after another. This unprecedented premiere is about to begin!
