Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the entire Spring Festival period successfully transitioned from the initial melee to a winner-takes-all situation.
"The Godfather" is not only leading the Spring Festival period, but has also drained away all other films.
As soon as the contracts for the first three days of the Spring Festival ended, all cinemas obediently gave their screenings to the Godfather of Shanghai. After all, no one can resist money.
Miaoyan and Yunpiaopiao's box office forecasts for "The Godfather" have also begun to gradually increase, from the initial 700 million, then to 1.5 billion, and now directly to 3 billion.
If it is really 3 billion, then "The Godfather" will surpass a previous American movie and become the highest-grossing movie in the Chinese market.
Most netizens are happy with this. After all, it is a bit embarrassing that the most popular and highest-grossing movie in China is actually an American movie.
"Can the box office really be that high?" Su Yin was stunned when she saw the latest forecast during a break in rehearsal. She felt like she was walking on clouds these past few days; everything seemed so unreal.
From the beginning, she just hoped that the movie would not flop, but now someone told her that this movie would make history, and Su Yin became even more confused.
"I thought I'd seen all the movies I should have seen, so there probably won't be much box office revenue left in the future, right?" Su Yin slapped her face, as if trying to wake herself up from her dream.
However, Tang Yue said calmly, "Xiao Xiao Su, if I were you, I'd walk with a breeze every day! Let me tell you, this 3 billion box office forecast is still conservative. From now on, you will be the most popular actress!"
"I also broke a record," Lin Xuan'er said with a smile as she stretched her legs. "I'm now the singer of the highest-grossing movie ending theme song!"
"Isn't that adjective too long?" Wang Xingrui walked behind Su Yin and took her hands. "Little Su, we don't have to feel unreal. I think the quality of this movie is more than enough to justify the box office. And 3 billion, if it were in America, it wouldn't be considered a phenomenal box office. I think the gap between our country's film market and America's is narrowing, and the box office will continue to rise."
Zhou Yiyang, who was visiting the set, happened to pass by and overheard their conversation. He couldn't help but laugh, "Ruirui, you're right. Our country's movie box office will definitely continue to rise in the future. I came here to tell you some good news."
"What news?" The four of them all looked up at the same time. As the concert drew closer, they all suspected this news was inextricably linked to it.
However, that wasn't the case. Zhou Yiyang smiled and said, "'The Godfather' was a bit of a hit at the box office in Japan, and the screening schedule is gradually increasing. Furthermore, Japanese films generally have long run times, running for up to six months. I've seen estimates from professional organizations that the box office might exceed 1 billion yen. This is also the best result for a domestic film going overseas to Japan."
However, after watching "The Godfather of Shanghai", I became a fan of Su Yin and wanted to go to her concert. However, I was disappointed to find that the tickets for Moonlight Girl's concert in Tokyo had already been sold out.
Many people also know that the dance song "Nobody" that became popular this year was actually sung by Moonlight Girl.
This girl group from China is using music and movies to gradually open up the Japanese market.
Now most of the domestic self-media have begun to claim that Moonlight Girl is the most successful artist to go overseas in recent years.
They really do have a large number of fans abroad, and it’s not the result of marketing, but the accumulation of their works.
"How is the rehearsal of the new song going?" Zhou Yiyang, who had not yet forgotten the purpose of his coming here, immediately stepped forward and asked.
"It should be fine." Wang Xingrui said confidently. She looked at Lin Xuan'er again, and she nodded confidently as well.
Zhou Yiyang was completely confident in the two of them, and his gaze focused directly on Su Yin and Tang Yue.
"As for you two, there won't be much dancing this time. I think it should be quite easy for you."
"Yeah," Tang Yue said confidently for the first time, "Xiao Xiaosu and I can sing the solo, but we can't reach the high notes."
"I've already practiced my rap." Su Yin said confidently.
"That's right. There are only three days left. You don't have to practice too hard. Otherwise, if something goes wrong before the concert, I won't be able to do anything about it."
After seeing that they were all fine, Zhou Yiyang went to do his own thing.
What he is going to discuss now is a collaboration, an advertising film invested by Tokyo TV.
They specifically designated the four members of Yue Shao as the protagonists of the commercial.
Zhou Yiyang specifically read the script and found it to be quite innovative.
Moreover, it is a public advertisement, which is also helpful for their image.
However, this news has not been made public yet, and Zhou Yiyang can imagine the online war of words that will ensue after the media reports it.
Although the girl group has high sales of both singles and records, their status in Japan is not high.
In the past, actresses were invited to shoot such commercials, and local popular idols were never invited.
However, this time, not only was a girl group invited, but it was also a foreign girl group. I'm afraid it will cause a huge uproar on the Internet.
However, Zhou Yiyang didn't care about these things. No matter how much netizens scolded him, the contract had already been signed.
According to the contract, Yue Shao does not need to be paid for appearing in the commercial, after all, it is a public service announcement.
However, the corresponding condition is that the commercials must be broadcast on Tokyo TV during the day as announced in advance.
If they breach the contract, they will receive compensation, so it’s not a loss no matter how you look at it.
The people who received Zhou Yiyang had the unique Japanese politeness and just the right amount of enthusiasm, which didn't make people feel too enthusiastic.
As to whether this politeness came from sincerity or was a professional necessity, it was not something Zhou Yiyang had to consider.
After arriving there, Zhou Yiyang ran into a very famous Japanese actress and her agent coming out of the office.
The other party also recognized him. After all, Zhou Yiyang was in the limelight recently. As the director of "The Godfather of Magic City", he received more praise in Japan than all the actors in the film.
Although the actress was reluctant, she still greeted him respectfully.
The agent naturally handed over the business card, and if Zhou Yiyang's movie needed a Japanese role one day, he could consider her.
After they left, Zhou Yiyang walked into the office.
"It seems you didn't explain yourself clearly," Zhou Yiyang said with a neither humble nor arrogant attitude, but a hint of anger could be heard in his tone: "I thought the only candidate you favored was Moonlight Girl."
