"Mr. Xu, our opening day box office is 61 million, temporarily ranking third. Although it's less than 'The Magic City' and 'The Ex-Files 2,' it surpasses 'Kung Fu Legend'..."
As the producer, Feng Xiaoxia reported the box office data to Xu Lu immediately.
"Okay, Xiaoxia, I understand!"
Upon receiving the news, Xu Lu calmly replied.
Feng Xiaoxia was not surprised at all by this.
He'd gotten used to Mr. Xu's composure; it was the same when 'Summer's Desire' was released, and it's the same when 'Kung Fu Hustle' is released.
But it was precisely because of the other party's calm attitude that Feng Xiaoxia felt very confident.
After thinking for a moment, he added:
"By the way, Mr. Xu, although the box office of 'The Fortress of Shanghai' was very high on its opening day, its reputation was very poor."
I think their box office numbers will definitely drop by tomorrow, and then we can at least be in the top two!
"Okay, I understand, Xiaoxia. Don't worry too much about these things, get some rest!"
Xu Lu smiled and replied.
However, not long after he hung up on Feng Xiaoxia, other calls came in.
Looking down, Xu Lu was surprised to find it was Reba.
"Hey, Xu Lu, have the results for the first day of Kung Fu yet? What are they? What's their ranking?"
As soon as Xu Lu pressed the call button, Reba's impatient voice came through the phone.
If someone who didn't know the situation heard this, they might think she was the director of Kung Fu, since she was so dedicated to it.
Xu Lu muttered something to himself before replying:
"More than 60 million, ranking third."
"That's great, Xu Lu. It's only been released for a short time and it's already achieved third place. You have to remember this is a summer movie season."
Films released at this time are all of high quality; your kung fu performance was already quite good.
Dilraba said excitedly.
But soon, she remembered something and asked hesitantly:
"By the way, your Kung Fu's opening day box office was higher than... higher than Kung Fu Legend, right?"
"Of course! What are you thinking, girl? Do you think I'm worse than someone who came from under my command?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Lu retorted irritably.
The sound of Dilraba laughing and joking came from across the way, and she said with a smile:
"That's good, that's good. Otherwise, no matter how high the box office is, I'm worried you won't be happy!"
As for now, right, isn't the Shanghai Bund and Ex-Files 2 in front of you?
It's normal to lose to these two films, considering you haven't made a movie in almost a year..."
Hearing this, Xu Lu laughed and said:
"What nonsense are you spouting, girl? What do you mean it's normal to lose to them? This is only the first day's data, okay?"
Come back in a couple of days and see. We'll see who wins then. We're good at long-term strategies.
The gain or loss of a single city or territory has little impact on the overall war situation; as the saying goes, "time will tell..."
"Okay, okay, I admitted I was wrong!"
Seeing that Xu Lu was about to lecture her, Reba became frightened and begged for mercy, saying:
"Since you're so confident, I'll ask you about the box office results again tomorrow. Goodnight!"
"Hey, hey, hey, you hung up so fast, I haven't even finished explaining myself!"
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Xu Lu muttered to himself.
He didn't really care about box office figures before.
After all, the system rewards had already been received, and the box office revenue was just a side benefit.
But being looked down upon by Reba is a different story; I have to stand up for myself.
...
Meanwhile, Xu Lu's fans in his live stream had already started their celebration.
It has to be said that his fans are really heartbreaking.
There wasn't even a streamer in the live stream, yet they were entertaining themselves so enthusiastically:
Wow, wow! After watching Kung Fu Hustle, I immediately started recommending it to everyone in various groups.
It was absolutely fantastic! The host certainly didn't disappoint; this is one of the best movies I've ever seen.
[No flaws at all; I even think we could remove the word 'one of'—it's truly a classic masterpiece!]
If the previous 'Summer Fall' was just a simple comedy, then this 'Kung Fu' is much more profound.
I even feel that I didn't fully understand kung fu just because I only watched it once; the movie has a very profound meaning...
I took my son to see it today, and the little guy had a blast. This movie is suitable for all ages!
...
[Ladies and gentlemen, the first day's box office results are in. Our Kung Fu Hustle has grossed 61 million.]
It's a pity it ranked third, after "The Shanghai Bund" and "The Ex-Files 2," but thankfully it's higher than "Kung Fu Legend"!
[Haha, that Kung Fu Legend is just a scam; I never considered it a match for real kung fu.]
[Yeah, what's there to say about a traitor? Does he think he's trying to scam our streamer?]
If you ask me, once the data comes out tomorrow, our kung fu will definitely rank first or second.
I just heard someone say that "Shanghai Fortress" is a terrible movie; it'll only make up for its opening day box office.
...
[Let's guess how well the streamer's kung fu will perform; will it ultimately achieve the minimum box office revenue?]
I think it should be higher than the last one, 'Summer's Desire,' but if it exceeds 1.5 billion, I feel that's too high.
Last year's box office champion grossed 2 billion yuan, and I think 'Kung Fu Hustle' should be able to reach that level.
