Chapter 107 Box Office Prediction!! Over 30 billion? Impossible! (Bonus Chapter, Please Subscribe)

"Dying to Survive" is a hit.

It's even more explosive than "Operation Mekong".

This can be seen from the box office figures on the first day.

The original cost of "Operation Mekong" was 2.52 million.

Now, "Dying to Survive" has grossed over 3 million yuan on its opening day.

Even after midnight, Song Hao's phone kept ringing.

Congratulatory messages came through WeChat and phone calls.

Song Hao thanked them one by one, saying, "Thank you, thank you."

What surprised him most was that even Director Long, who should have been asleep long ago, personally called Song Hao: "Good lad, I really didn't expect that your film 'Dying to Survive' would actually surpass 'Operation Mekong' at the box office on its opening day!"

Song Hao smiled and said, "I didn't expect this either, Director Long."

"Don't pretend with me. Did you already know it would be surpassed? When I confidently said it was impossible, you were probably secretly laughing to yourself!" Director Long complained.

Even though he was happy for Song Hao, he still reminded him: "Although your movie has achieved good results, remember one thing: with fame comes trouble. People are afraid of becoming famous, just as pigs are afraid of getting fat. You must keep a low profile in everything you do, understand?"

Song Hao immediately replied, "Understood!"

"Of course, if anyone dares to spread rumors and frame you, I certainly won't let them get away with it. You're now an anti-drug ambassador, one of our anti-drug bureau members, you know?" Director Long encouraged.

With that in mind, Song Hao naturally wouldn't worry about snakes, insects, or rodents bothering him.

And the other side.

When Director Zhang learned that "One Second" had only grossed a paltry 50 million yuan at the box office, he was immediately furious.

"Go, contact the team and see if there's any suspicion of box office fraud!"

Assistant Xiao Liu was somewhat surprised when she heard this.

Could it be box office fraud?
This situation most likely occurs because the cinema is trying to monopolize the profits, wanting to make money without sharing with the film distributor, and thus resorting to this underhanded trick.

For example, when buying movie tickets, they only give you a handwritten ticket stub.

The software showed only a few moviegoers, but when I arrived at the theater, it was almost full.

After picking up the ticket at the venue, the scanned ticket showed a ticket for a different movie.

As for Director Zhang, he didn't believe his box office was so low.

He felt that "One Second" was the most profound film among all his works.

It represents the aspirations of different people in that era.

How could it only have 50 million in box office revenue!

Director Zhang saw that the internet was full of discussions about "Dying to Survive".

Some even believe that films released at the same time might be stealing each other's box office revenue.

Because each film distributor and cinema has a different revenue sharing arrangement, cinemas may steal box office revenue from films with lower revenue sharing and transfer it to films with higher revenue sharing in order to obtain more of their share.

Director Zhang's revenue sharing for "One Second" is among the lowest in the industry.

In this situation, it is very likely that cinemas will be more inclined to redirect box office revenue to "Dying to Survive"!
Thinking of this, Director Zhang frowned even more.

He believes that if there were a box office swap, then "Dying to Survive" would never have achieved such high results!
Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!

Director Zhang is determined to find out the truth.

The afternoon of the next day.

Assistant Xiao Liu felt somewhat embarrassed after seeing a report.

She dared not hand the report to Director Zhang.

At this time, Director Zhang also learned that she had found evidence of box office fraud, and asked, "What exactly is going on?"

Xiao Liu hesitated for a moment before saying, "There was indeed some box office fraud."

Upon hearing this, Director Zhang snorted coldly: "As expected! Let me see!"

He took the report and glanced at it.

But the expression on his face froze.

It's not that "Dying to Survive" stole the box office of "One Second".

Instead, "One Second" stole "Dying to Survive"!
According to the screening statistics, on the day of its release yesterday, there were instances in cinemas of all sizes where people bought tickets for "One Second" but ended up going to the theater showing "Dying to Survive" instead!

And this isn't an isolated case!
It accounted for a staggering 9% of the box office!

Director Zhang's face turned green.

Assistant Xiao Liu seemed worried that Director Zhang would feel awkward, so she turned her back to him and pretended to be busy.

It started on the second day of its release.

Zhang Yimou's film "One Second" has received a flood of negative reviews.

"A boring art film...who wants to watch your sentimentality..."

"What is the Imperial Advisor trying to do? Show us his superb photography skills and explain how to use a film camera?"

"The sense of the era is well restored, but the script is a mess. The characters' motivations are unclear, the story is nonsensical, and it is forced to be sentimental in order to write a love poem."

"I watch every movie Zhang Yimou makes and I criticize it. As you get older, you start to miss your youth. The one who doesn't love movies is actually yourself. Fame, fortune, family, but no movies."

The film that received the opposite reviews online was "Dying to Survive".

Some even believe that this film finally has a chance to win an award at this year's China Film Festival.

Faced with praise online.

Song Hao was not complacent.

After all, he has only won three awards so far: Best New Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Cinematography.

These three awards are not without merit.

However, if one wants to win awards in the Chinese film industry, then as a director, the most worthy awards would be the Best Director Award and the Best Film Award.

These two prestigious awards are what truly establish a director's strength in the Chinese entertainment industry.

With the huge success of "Dying to Survive".

On its fifth day of release, the film grossed over 9 million yuan.

It successfully surpassed the box office record of "All for the Winner".

This makes people increasingly believe that "Dying to Survive" may surpass "Operation Mekong".

This became Song Haoxin's highest-grossing film.

And gradually, netizens also noticed.

Although "Dying to Survive" wasn't a promotional video, the State Drug Administration's official account has released several promotional videos in the days since its release. This is quite surprising.

"Actually, it's quite normal. In the film, it is precisely because of the country's proactive medical reforms that cancer drugs were included in medical insurance."

"Yes, we should thank the country."

"The State Drug Administration knows this is promoting the country, so they won't do anything about it."

People still have a high degree of trust and confidence in the official channels.

And the Drug Administration did not disappoint.

Two days later, they announced a batch of drugs that would be included in the medical insurance program.

These are all cancer patients, those with serious illnesses, or those who require expensive treatments.

This can be considered as some good news for those patients who are fighting against illness.

Netizens affectionately dubbed Song Hao: "A Director of Positive Energy!"

"The purpose of making 'All or Nothing' is to raise awareness of fraud prevention, so that people won't be scammed and can guard against gambling."

"Filming 'The Flowers of War' is a reminder to everyone not to forget history, for we should learn from the past to guide the future."

"When filming 'Operation Mekong,' the key word was 'anti-drug'!"

"Now that we're filming 'Dying to Survive,' we need to show more care for special groups of people, and we also need to take good care of our own and our families' health. Medical checkups are very important."

Seemingly influenced by Song Hao, everyone actively donated money.

They donated to charities for leukemia patients.

Or when faced with families in need of help or suffering from serious illnesses, everyone lends a helping hand.

Some say that "Dying to Survive" is not just a movie, but also a reflection of the lives of ordinary people.

It was because of Song Hao that they truly understood him.

Some netizens even said that they never buy medical insurance.

But after watching Song Hao's movie, I immediately bought it for my family.

Everything is progressing in a positive direction.

Of course, except for Director Zhang.

He never expected that his film, "One Second," wouldn't even reach 20 million yuan at the box office in the following days.

This led cinemas to allocate a large number of screenings to "Dying to Survive".

The film's production team also came to inquire about what happened to Director Zhang.

Under immense pressure, Director Zhang ultimately chose to go into seclusion.

Zhou Qian didn't expect that before the film's release, she was worried that Director Zhang's "One Second" would pose a threat to "Dying to Survive".

As a result, the box office figures were released on the day of the film's release.

They left the other side far behind.

Faced with the booming box office, she, as the film's producer, discussed with Song Hao and decided to increase the amount of donation.

According to the plan, for every 100 million yuan in total box office revenue, an additional 500,000 yuan will be donated to a professional public welfare organization that mainly supports leukemia patients.

However, the donation has now been changed to an additional RMB 800,000 for every RMB 100 million in total revenue.

As soon as the news came out.

Everyone praised Song Hao and the film's production team for their charitable conscience.

"Wow, Director Song has already donated quite a bit, hasn't he?"

"Yes, basically every time a movie is released, we donate money."

"Haha, he really is a positive role model and a high-quality idol."

"Tch, they made 100 million at the box office, but only donated 800,000. That's really stingy."

Once people like those above, who stand on a moral high ground, start commenting...

They would then be attacked by countless people.

Song Hao has finally gained a group of loyal fans.

As the days go by.

The box office success of "Dying to Survive" is creating a legend.

In just nine days, the box office exceeded 13 billion yuan, approaching that of "The Flowers of War".

Everyone is really looking forward to it now.

That is, can "Dying to Survive" surpass "Operation Mekong"?

at the same time.

Maoyan's professional team provided predictive analysis based on the box office curve.

[The final box office prediction for "Dying to Survive" is 25.5 billion yuan!]

This predictive analysis surprised everyone.

It's worth noting that "Operation Mekong" grossed 24.2 billion yuan.

This means that "Dying to Survive" is very likely to surpass "Operation Mekong".

After all, "Dying to Survive" grossed over 3 million yuan on its opening day, which was clearly better than "Operation Mekong" in terms of initial momentum.

So everyone is looking forward to it.

Everyone hopes that "Dying to Survive" can surpass the success of "The Mekong River".

Even just a little bit better would be good.

However, as time went on, netizens were surprised to discover...

Maoyan's predicted box office figures are steadily rising.

[The final box office prediction for "Dying to Survive" is 26.4 billion yuan!]

[The final box office prediction for "Dying to Survive" is 27.9 billion yuan!]

[The final box office prediction for "Dying to Survive" is 28.3 billion yuan!]

Now, everyone was really getting restless.

Based on this box office surge, it's even possible that we could predict it will reach 30 billion!
Is it
Is Song Hao's first film to gross 30 billion yuan about to be released?!
