"No way, 25 million in box office on the first day is already amazing, and Mr. Xu isn't even excited?"
Assistant director Lao Zhou asked with a puzzled look.
Female producer Lin Hui also asked, puzzled:
"Brother Feng, are you perhaps a little slow to notice, which is why you didn't sense the joy in President Xu's voice?"
"How could that be? Besides, I have a very keen sense of things, okay? Mr. Xu was indeed very calm."
I even felt he wasn't surprised at all by the opening day box office results; it was as if it were a given!
Feng Xiaoxia began to explain, but perhaps remembering something, he quickly added:
"I think the reason Mr. Xu is so calm is probably because his goals are higher than any of ours!"
"Uh, you're not talking about the 'billion-dollar box office' thing, are you?"
Lin Hui suddenly said.
Feng Xiaoxia nodded solemnly and said:
"That's right, that's what I'm talking about. I'm afraid none of us have taken this seriously."
However, in my impression, Mr. Xu was seriously aiming for a box office of 1 billion yuan.
So when we saw that the box office reached 25 million on the first day, we thought it was amazing and incredible.
However, Mr. Xu's target was 1 billion, so seeing this opening day box office, he might even think it's too low!
Hearing this, the two people next to him were both a little surprised.
Old Zhou went even further and said:
"Sigh, I guess Mr. Xu will be disappointed in the end. Our box office on the first day was 25 million."
A total box office of 400 million is something to look forward to, but reaching 1 billion is basically impossible!
"Yes, which of those movies that grossed over 1 billion yuan had a first-day box office of less than 50 million?"
Moreover, their investment and marketing costs are much higher than ours, which is why they have a chance to reach one billion.
Lin Hui nodded and said:
"Brother Feng, you should find a chance to talk to President Xu first, so that he doesn't realize what's going on at the last minute, which would be bad!"
"Alright, I'll find an opportunity to talk to Mr. Xu about the box office."
However, Mr. Xu is proud and arrogant, and very opinionated, so I can only offer my advice from the sidelines!
Feng Xiaoxia sighed and said.
...
Let's not even talk about the three company employees who suddenly had something on their minds.
Xu Lu had just hung up the phone when Reba looked over curiously and said:
"Who called you in the middle of the night?"
Xu Lu gave the other person a strange look before saying in an annoyed tone:
"The film producer called me specifically to talk about the opening day box office of 'Fall in Depression'."
"Huh? How much did it gross? Did it exceed ten million?"
Upon hearing this, Reba immediately became curious and blinked her big eyes as she asked.
"Tch! Who do you think you are, only ten million?"
Xu Lu said with a disdainful look:
"Although I'm not entirely satisfied with the opening day box office, it's still a respectable 25 million!"
"Twenty-five million? My goodness, Xu Lu, such a high opening day box office is amazing!"
Unlike Xu Lu's composure, Dilraba exclaimed in surprise upon hearing the specific data:
"With 25 million on the first day alone, the total box office for 'Fall in Depression' might just reach 400 million!"
"I've already said my small goal is 1 billion, what's a mere 400 million?" Xu Lu reiterated this point.
In response, Dilraba could only echo:
"Alright, alright, our Director Xu's goal is 1 billion, he doesn't care about 400 million, is that acceptable?"
"That's more like it!"
Xu Lu nodded seriously at Dilraba's teasing, because that was exactly what he thought.
...
However, just because Mr. Xu is not excited does not mean that the employees of DaXu Culture are not excited.
Most of them are also credited in the film's credits, so they naturally pay attention to the box office performance of 'Charlotte's Depression'.
So when Feng Xiaoxia posted the first day's box office data in the staff group, the group instantly went wild:
"Twenty-five million in box office revenue on the first day? Wow, Mr. Xu! That's truly astonishing."
"Although I knew our box office would be good after seeing the movie tonight, I didn't expect it to be this big!"
"Moreover, we're number one among all the movies released within three days, which is number one nationwide!"
"Our DaXu Culture is about to become famous. A startup company has already produced a blockbuster movie. That's awesome!"
...
"By the way, what about that 'Happy Summer Tour' that was trying to suppress our 'Xia Luo Te Depression'? How much did they get in box office revenue?"
"Hahaha, we're number one among the newly released movies, 'Happy Summer Tour' definitely has fewer than us."
"This is interesting. Xia Lifei's company is supposed to be a big company, but it doesn't seem that great!"
"Heh, you think our CEO Xu is a pushover? Even Xia Lifei would have to kneel down if he came."
...
"Our movie is a huge hit! Do you think President Xu will give us a bonus? I'm kind of looking forward to it!"
"I think there definitely will be. You can tell from his daily conduct that our CEO Xu is not the kind of person who is stingy."
"With a box office of 25 million on the first day, we can expect a total box office of 400 million."
Based on the profit-sharing ratio, our company will probably earn around 70 to 80 million yuan. Wow, that's amazing just thinking about it.
"Yes, they made 80 million in just over two months. That's too easy to make money."
...
The employees of 'Daxu Culture' were delighted to learn about the box office results on the first day.
