"120 million? Wow, it's only the second day and the box office is already that high?"
When Reba heard the number Xu Lu mentioned, she was stunned and immediately called to ask about it.
She's an industry insider and quite sensitive to movie box office data, so she naturally knows what it means for a film to gross over 100 million yuan in a single day.
Putting aside other things, take Xu Lulu's film "Summer Fall," which grossed 1.5 billion yuan, for example. It took about seven or eight days for the box office to slowly rise.
Unlike this movie 'Kung Fu Hustle', which only grossed a little over 60 million yesterday, it has more than doubled to 120 million today.
This increase is absolutely terrifying.
Xu Lu, on the other hand, remained calm and said:
"Girl, remember what I told you yesterday? Don't think I'm just giving you a lecture; it turns out everything I said is true, and listening to it will only benefit you..."
This time, Dilraba also forgot to hang up the phone.
She waited until Xu Lu finished rambling before speaking:
"Xu Lu, your movie has already grossed over 100 million yuan in a single day. Could it reach 2 billion?"
Actually, if Xu Lu had heard this question yesterday, he probably wouldn't have been so confident.
But after seeing the box office figures for the first day and then the second day, he realized one thing: in this world, audiences also buy into kung fu.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered a prediction he had made about 'kung fu' in his previous life.
Returning to Dilraba's question, Xu Lu half-jokingly said:
"Who knows? Two billion, three billion, maybe even five billion."
These words startled Reba, who said:
"Tch, you're just bragging. I could believe 2 billion, but 3 billion is already terrifying."
Fifty billion? Please, there isn't a single movie in China that has grossed over fifty billion at the box office yet.
If your kung fu movie can reach 5 billion in box office revenue, then the entire industry, both inside and outside, will be in an uproar.
"Who can say for sure!"
Xu Lu chuckled, and Dilraba, who already knew that Kung Fu Hustle was doing well at the box office, breathed a sigh of relief.
After chatting for a while, I hung up the phone.
at the same time.
In the residential area of female artists in Daxu Culture, when she heard that yesterday's box office statistics showed a staggering 120 million yuan, Yang Mi, the younger cousin, was the first to scream.
"My goodness! It's already 120 million! Sister Yifei, you're really going to be a huge star this time! You're the female lead in Kung Fu Hustle!"
Those around them also showed expressions of envy.
Almost all the girls here have played roles in The Return of the Condor Heroes.
But unfortunately.
There weren't many female roles needed for Kung Fu, and only Liu Yifei and one other lucky actress were chosen.
Liu Yifei played the role of the mute girl in Kung Fu Hustle, a role that, while not large in number, was undeniably important.
It can be said that she didn't say a single word throughout the entire film, yet she still left a deep impression on the audience.
Hearing Yang Mi say this, Liu Yifei blushed slightly and said:
"What? Actually, Mr. Xu said that there is no absolute protagonist in the movie Kung Fu, so I am just an ordinary female character in it!"
"Sigh, what a pity! I would have been willing to take any role, even just random ones!"
Some people say that.
"Yes, it's only the second day, and Kung Fu Hustle has already grossed over 100 million. Who knows how many billions it will gross in total?"
Soon, others chimed in.
Some people are still hoping:
"I wonder if there will be more female roles in Mr. Xu's next movie, then we'll all have a chance to act in it!"
...
At this moment, in Xu Lu's live stream, fans were also shocked by the 120 million yuan box office figure:
Holy crap! I knew our streamer's kung fu movie was amazing, but I didn't expect it to be such a box office hit.
[Yes, this surge in data is definitely even more impressive than the last 'Summer Fall'!]
[I have to say, the streamer has really given us so many surprises. I was a little worried at first, but now it seems like I had nothing to worry about...]
[That's right! We should be worried about his opponent, the traitor Zhao Fan. He's probably crying right now.]
...
In just two days, Kung Fu Hustle's box office reached 180 million yuan, even though it was released for half a month.
I think a total box office of 2 billion is no problem at all, and there's even a chance it could reach 3 billion.
[Three billion! My goodness, that's going to be in the top five of the entire Chinese box office charts, right?]
That's right! The movie currently ranked number one at the box office in the Great Xia Dynasty has a figure of 3.6 billion...
[Hahaha, so many people didn't believe in the streamer's skills before, now they've probably all been slapped in the face.]
...
Xu Lu's fans, friends, and people associated with Da Xu Culture were naturally overjoyed upon seeing the box office figures.
But those who didn't get along with him were in a bad mood at this moment.
For example, Xia Lifei's group, Wang Dashao behind the Magic Wheel Sky Curtain, Teacher Shen, the initiator of the Billion Club, and Teacher Liu, a well-known director, etc.
Many people were secretly hoping that Xu Lu's movie would flop at the box office, but to their surprise, 'Kung Fu' not only did not flop, but it was also clearly about to 'take off'.
Time quickly passed to the third day.
Of the four blockbusters that audiences were initially looking forward to, 'Shanghai Fortress' has once again underperformed at the box office today, falling below ten million.
'Kung Fu Legend' also saw a decline, with only over 30 million copies sold.
'Ex-Files 2' performed relatively well, with box office takings of 82 million yuan that day.
Without the strong emergence of 'Kung Fu Hustle', it had the potential to become the summer box office champion.
Unfortunately, this film was released at the wrong time, coinciding with the release of "Kung Fu Hustle," so even though it was as brilliant as it was, it could only serve as a supporting role.
Today, 'Kung Fu Hustle' broke its own box office record, reaching 190 million yuan.
This insane upward trend has driven everyone in the industry almost crazy.
But clearly this is not the limit of 'kung fu'.
Because in the following week, the box office of 'Kung Fu' continued to rise, seemingly without any peak.
230 million, 280 million, 350 million, 400 million, 420 million, 450 million...
By the tenth day of Kung Fu Hustle's release, its daily box office had reached a staggering 500 million yuan!
Many movies, from their release to their removal from theaters, never reach the total box office revenue of a single day.
With this, Kung Fu Hustle's total box office revenue reached exactly 3 billion yuan.
But you should know that it was only in theaters for ten days in total!
Regardless of how high the box office of the movie "Kung Fu Hustle" will ultimately reach.
Just look at the incredible number 'three billion'.
The film production staff of other movies released at the same time were all silent at this point.
Three billion! How can they possibly fight with that?
