In the space of a week, "Benjamin Button" seemed to have become the brightest star in the current film and television industry, soaring into the sky with its dazzling brilliance, unstoppable.
First, on July 23, it surpassed the 1 billion box office at the fastest record-breaking speed in the country. Then, in full view of the public, on July 25, it surpassed the 1.29 billion box office of "Curse", and directly jumped to 1.5 billion box office. At this moment, the gap between them and the top of the list is only 600 million!
At this time, even some people in the circle who had conflicts with Qin Sheng before could only sigh in despair when they saw such a horrific result.
After eleven days of release, it has grossed 1.5 billion yuan. Damn it, who can beat this?
"A new era all-round director!"
"My Xiu'er is directed by Qin Sheng."
"Master of Ghostly Genius."
One after another, friendly and admirable "honors" were given to Qin Sheng. Netizens were collectively excited and spontaneously began to help promote him in their respective circles of friends.
It's not just domestic netizens. Some signs have suddenly appeared in South Korea. The reason is that the directors of "Cursed" and "Mountain of Corpse" are both well-known and famous directors in South Korea, so Korean netizens have been paying attention to the relevant achievements of the two.
Of course, it is normal for "A Mountain of Corpses" to fail in other countries. Didn't you see that the director of "A Mountain of Corpses", Park Jung-hee, had already knelt down to the people? But "Cursed" was actually overtaken by a new film that had been screened for more than half a month in one night. This is something that the Korean people could never have imagined.
So some people started to collect information, and finally even posted pirated torrents of "Benjamin Button" on the Internet.
It is said that all evil starts with piracy, and this time is no exception. A piece of piracy directly caused an uproar among Korean netizens.
"Oh my god, this is the movie that beat 'Cursed', it really is great!"
"That's a bit too impressive. Over 1 billion at the box office in 15 days. China's purchasing power is truly terrifying."
"I seem to have heard of his name. He was the director of the previous film 'The Hidden Corner'."
"Ah? Really? 'The Hidden Corner'?"
"Yes, yes, that's right, the director of that drama is Qin Sheng."
"Same person?"
"That should be it! No wonder, no wonder 'Cursed' lost. Hallelujah! 'The Bad Kids' is truly the best TV show I've seen this year. Turns out the director is Qin Sheng. I love it."
"No, the pirated images are too blurry. When can you introduce them?"
"This movie is awesome! I give a thumbs up to Qin Sheng, he's so handsome and has such a great personality!"
“Strongly request for introduction!”
“?1”
“?1”
…
Qin Sheng had no idea that his movie had caused such a sensation in South Korea.
He is currently only looking at the domestic box office. After all, South Korea... To be honest, its film and television market is not very prosperous, and it is a world of difference compared to China.
The priorities cannot be reversed. Although a small amount of money is still money, Qin Sheng has not yet completed the harvest of the domestic market, so the overseas market is naturally ranked third or even fourth.
After all, I made a promise at the beginning that not a single cent less than 5 billion is acceptable!
So when Wei Shaoyan discovered that the overseas market was booming and proposed to expand overseas, Qin Sheng did not take charge himself, but left the overseas operations entirely to Wei Shaoyan.
This really pissed Wei Shaoyan off. "Damn it, you're letting me do it all? What about you?!"
"I?"
Qin Sheng pointed at himself and said righteously, "Of course I have other things to do."
"Damn, don't try to fool me. I don't know you well enough." Wei Shaoyan curled his lips. "You have nothing to do all day except read the news. Hurry up and stop making trouble. The overseas market is white and fragrant, just waiting for us to conquer it."
"No, no, no, I really have something to do."
"So, tell me, what's going on?"
"I have to prepare for the wedding."
“…”
The atmosphere suddenly became silent.
Wei Shaoyan's expression froze for a moment, and he finally wanted to cry but couldn't. "Damn it, weren't you two already married? Why are you getting married again? Are you really just here to collect the wedding gift money?"
"Last time it was just like playing house, let's make it a grand occasion this time." Qin Sheng said with a smile.
"grand?"
"Yes, grand." Qin Sheng nodded very seriously.
"How about..." Wei Shaoyan suddenly had an idea, "How about we do it at my house? You're not allowed to set off firecrackers in the city, but at my house you can set off firecrackers as you please. A tractor will take you to the bridal chamber, and a red carpet will be laid out for you from one end of the village to the other. What do you call that? This is what a grand ceremony is!"
Tsk tsk, there was a scene. He wanted to laugh, but he held it back. Qin Sheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Not bad, there is something, but Xiao Yuqin will definitely not agree."
Alas... I fell in love with the wrong person after all...
Wei Shaoyan sighed lightly, it was really boring.
"Let's talk about this later. Let's win the box office championship first." Qin Sheng said with a smile.
"What about the day?"
"Xiao Yuqin's mother said September 20th. Remember that, and make sure the red envelope is bigger by then."
"Okay, big, it must be big. I'd even give you my whole heart."
"Then it's a deal. If I can't eat pig heart on my wedding day, I'll pickle you on the spot."
"Hahaha, no problem."
…
Time passed to August 5th, and on that day, the box office sales of "Benjamin Button" reached an astonishing 3.3 billion.
The media were all over it, and as if they had made an appointment, they all started reporting.
After all, it was released for 18 days and the box office revenue was 3.3 billion, which is really rare!
