The box office figures for the second day were finally released, much to the relief of everyone at Daxu Culture.
If yesterday's 80 million yuan opening day box office only indicates that 'Iron Man' is quite popular.
So today's box office of 115 million yuan indicates that this film has very strong potential.
Although the box office exceeded 100 million yuan on the second day, this is also due to the consistent reputation of Daxu Culture.
However, without its exceptional quality, the film's box office would certainly not have risen so quickly.
"I never expected that a sci-fi film could achieve such high box office results in Mr. Xu's hands. It's truly incredible!"
Feng Xiaoxia sighed.
He couldn't help but recall when the 'Iron Man' project was first conceived.
When they heard that Daxu Culture's next project would be a science fiction film, everyone was quite surprised.
Especially considering the collapse of the Shanghai blockbuster film, it takes immense courage to make a sci-fi movie at this time.
If an ordinary person proposed this idea, most people would probably vehemently oppose it.
However, since it was General Manager Xu who proposed this idea, no one at DaXu Culture dared to speak up.
After all, President Xu is someone who has created many miracles, and his main strength is his 'precise vision'.
So although everyone was puzzled, they accepted the fact.
Looking back now, everyone can see that Mr. Xu's decision has been validated once again.
It's not that Da Xia's sci-fi films are bad; it's just that other people's films are bad.
At Daxu Culture, even a science fiction film can outperform its competitors at the box office.
That's what makes Mr. Xu so amazing!
Of course, since 'Iron Man' has overshadowed everyone else, the other films are naturally the ones that have been overshadowed.
For example, the blockbuster "Starship Troopers," imported from the United States, did not perform badly at the box office on its second day, still grossing over 70 million, a slight increase from its opening day box office.
However, compared to 'Iron Man', it falls far short.
It is conceivable that there is a huge gap in potential between the two.
So when I saw its box office performance...
Zhao Xiaomeng, who was eager to get involved with Daxu Culture, was dumbfounded.
Yesterday, I saw that the opening day box office of 'Starship Troopers' did not surpass that of 'Iron Man' from Da Xu Culture.
She could also comfort herself by saying that the opening day box office doesn't tell the whole story.
But now that the box office figures for the following day have been released, it's impossible for her to keep deceiving herself.
The Starship's 70 million+ dollars are significantly less than Iron Man's 100 million dollars.
"How is this possible? How could so many people watch a science fiction film from Great Xia? This is unbelievable!"
Zhao Xiaomeng murmured to herself.
In her mind, the science fiction films of the Great Xia should all be like the Shanghai Bunker, which probably had a strong opening day box office because of good marketing and distribution.
But this only applies to the box office on the first day.
The next day, they will be brought back to their original state.
Because audiences aren't stupid; if they know a film isn't good, they simply won't pay for it.
However, this rule did not apply to the Iron Man film produced by Daxu Culture this time.
Their box office was great on the first day, but it was even better on the second day, and it kept rising!
On the contrary, it's 'Starship', which is also a science fiction film.
Because of the existence of 'Iron Man', its box office was severely compressed.
It's worth noting that this movie was originally shown in the United States and grossed $300 million at the box office.
It's clear that its quality is quite good, but it has now been overshadowed by Da Xu Culture's Iron Man.
Does this also suggest that the quality of Daxu Culture's Iron Man is even higher than that of Starship?
Thinking about this, Zhao Xiaomeng felt her face getting hot.
She suddenly remembered what she had said on the show.
Can't China really produce good sci-fi movies? Then what's the deal with this Iron Man movie?
Before she could ponder for long, a phone call pulled Zhao Xiaomeng back to reality from her daze.
She looked down and discovered it was a call from John, the director from the United States.
"Miss Zhao, I glanced at the time. It should be around now when your Great Xia releases its box office figures, right? Is there some good news you want to tell me?"
A nasal voice came from the other side.
"Um... Mr. John, you guessed right, Starship's box office is even better today than yesterday, reaching over 72 million. Congratulations!"
Although Zhao Xiaomeng felt helpless, she could only try to say nice things.
Hopefully, the other person won't remember to ask anything else.
But to her disappointment, John on the other side clearly hadn't forgotten that Starship's opening day box office had been surpassed yesterday.
He was quite annoyed at the time, so he then asked:
"Miss Zhao, I'd like to know if my 'Starship' should be the box office champion today, right? Did that 'Iron Man' movie, which got in through deception yesterday, see a big drop in box office revenue?"
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaomeng sighed.
She would never bring it up unless asked.
But now that they've asked, there's no point in hiding it anymore.
She could only try to be as tactful as possible:
"Mr. John, in fact we may have made a slightly wrong judgment. The Iron Man movie we talked about yesterday is probably of better quality than we thought."
Because its box office revenue today is 115 million yuan, it's still ranked number one on the box office chart..."
Clearly, the bearded John across from them took a deep breath.
It seems he was startled by this answer.
But the other party quickly asked in a more aggressive tone:
"What did you say? Miss Zhao, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
What high-quality sci-fi films can your Great Xia possibly produce?
That's impossible; someone must have used some underhanded tactics.
I find you people of Great Xia truly laughable. For the sake of so-called honor, you will often use any means to achieve your goal. You really lack the spirit of fair competition..."
Zhao Xiaomeng had to move her phone further away from her.
But at this moment, she suddenly had a strange thought.
She discovered that these people from the beacon of civilization weren't as gentlemanly as she had imagined.
Because it was obvious that the 'Starship' had indeed lost this time. Although Zhao Xiaomeng was upset, she wasn't so upset that she couldn't even admit defeat.
However, to her surprise, John on the other end of the line clearly could not accept this.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaomeng could only helplessly speak again:
"Mr. John, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. It's getting late here, and I need to rest!"
John, still furious, said:
"Miss Zhao, I do not condone your Great Xia's arbitrary interference with the fairness of the box office."
I will reveal this on a public program, and I hope you know this beforehand..."
