Just as Yang Hao was sleeping soundly with Meng Ziyi in his arms, he was woken up by the ringing of a cell phone.

Yang Hao picked up the phone with sleepy eyes, and the caller ID showed that it was Cynthia. Yang Hao immediately perked up.

Meng Ziyi was also awakened by Yang Hao's movement. Looking at Yang Hao's slightly nervous expression, she knew without asking that this call must be related to the overseas box office of "The Witch".

Meng Ziyi blinked her beautiful eyes and stared at Yang Hao, expecting to hear surprising news later.

"Yang, 'The Witch' was a success, with a box office of 1389 million US dollars on the first day." As soon as the phone was connected, Xinxia's voice was heard, and it could be heard that she was very excited at the moment.

"Except for Star Wars 7 which earned more than million U.S. dollars today, Witch had the highest box office and ranked second in the daily box office."

"But Yang, Star Wars 7 is showing in more than 7 theaters. If we only count the performance of a single theater, our number is even slightly higher." Cynthia was afraid that Yang Hao didn't understand the concept of a single-day box office of more than million, so she brought out the heavyweight blockbuster Star Wars for comparison.

Although Cynthia was quite confident about the movie "Witches", she never expected that it would give her such a big surprise.

This is the Christmas season!
Moreover, it was against the odds of the epic blockbuster "Star Wars 7" and it earned more than million at the box office, which was really not easy.

Based on the first-day box office of 10 million US dollars, even if the box office declines in the next few days, the first-week box office of the movie "The Witch" can still exceed 40 million, or even more.

That is the Christmas season, a period full of blockbusters. If it were put in a normal period, a box office of 40 million US dollars would almost be enough to win the North American box office champion.

"Huh!" Cynthia hung up the phone with Yang Hao, but she was still excited.

"The Witch" was a success, and this time she made the right bet.

Miramax hasn't released a hit movie in several years, and it seems to be on the decline, but today a movie "Witch" is about to announce to the world that the former king is returning.

"How is it? How is the box office?" When Meng Ziyi saw Yang Hao hang up the phone, she immediately leaned up to him, wrapped her pair of fair arms around Yang Hao's neck, and asked in a soft voice in Yang Hao's ear.

After learning about the box office performance of "The Witch" from Cynthia, Yang Hao was in a really good mood. He put his arm around Meng Ziyi's waist, felt the softness of her body, and then said.

"1389 million US dollars in box office, second in North American daily box office."

"Huff~Huff..." Upon hearing this box office number, Meng Ziyi's breathing became faster and his face turned red.

"The Witch" was released in the United States, and she also made up for it with some knowledge related to the U.S. movie box office. She knew very well what it meant to make over 10 million on the first day.

Especially when there are only 1,000 theaters open, this shows that the attendance rate of "The Witch" is quite good. As long as this result can be maintained in the next few days, the number of theaters is expected to increase.

"Dear, will the movie "The Witch" break the box office record of Chinese-language films released in the United States?" Meng Ziyi asked this question excitedly with sparkling eyes.

Hearing Meng Ziyi's question, Yang Hao was slightly stunned. He had never thought about this question.

Now hearing what Meng Ziyi said, it seems that this is really possible.

Among all the Chinese-language films released in the United States, the highest-grossing one is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which was released more than a decade ago, with a North American box office of 1.3 million U.S. dollars. It is also the only Chinese-language film to have a box office of over million in North America.

The first-day box office of "The Witch" was 1389 million. As long as it continues to maintain this record in the next few days, it will not be difficult to break the North American box office record of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

As for the decline in box office sales, Yang Hao is not worried at all. Based on the experience of previous movie releases, Yang Hao knows clearly that the first week of a movie's release is a strong stage for the system to return cash, and it is impossible for a cliff-like drop to occur.

"Baby, 'The Witch' might really have a chance to break the North American box office record of 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'." After sorting out his thoughts, Yang Hao said directly and affirmatively.

"Really? Then wouldn't I become an international Meng like Zhang Ziyi?" Meng Ziyi said excitedly about the judgment of her boss Yang Hao.

Zhang Ziyi became famous thanks to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Thinking that she might be able to replicate Zhang Ziyi's path to fame, Meng Ziyi's face flushed with excitement.

Meng Ziyi's bright eyes saw Yang Hao standing so close to her. Her handsome face made her extremely fascinated.

Zhang Ziyi is a Mou Girl.

I should be considered a Hao girl!

Meng Ziyi doesn't envy Zhang Ziyi at all now. When she followed Zhang Yimou, he was already 43 years old and had one foot in the coffin.

When I was following Yang Hao, the other party was only 23 years old, strong and powerful, and very useful.

Compare the two and make a judgment.

It was late at night, but both Yang Hao and Meng Ziyi were too sleepy to do so because of the good news they had just heard.

"Baby! Can't sleep?" Yang Hao asked softly, hugging Meng Ziyi's soft and warm body.

"Well, dear, you can't sleep either?" Meng Ziyi's eyes revealed excitement, and he also couldn't sleep.

"Baby, let's celebrate this great moment, shall we?"

The two of them immediately agreed with Yang Hao's suggestion, and soon a celebratory salute was fired in the bedroom.
-
Time flies and another day has passed.

"What? The box office of 'The Witch' has increased again?"

"1487 million US dollars?" When Cynthia heard the box office figures of "The Witch" the next day, she couldn't help but scream.

I thought that the first day's $1389 million was high enough and it should fall back on the second day, but I never expected it to rise against the trend.

The box office trend is too good, it keeps going up.

On this day, all film and television companies in the United States took notice of the dark horse movie "The Witch".

The six major Hollywood film and television studios are especially upset.

Why didn't they notice the movie "Witch"?

Miramax actually got the upper hand.
-
When the news came that "The Witch" was a big hit in the United States, China Film Group Corporation was shocked, many film and television companies were shocked, and all media were shocked.

"Yang Hao is so awesome!" At this moment, many celebrities, media people and some movie fans had this thought in their minds.

In the past, although Yang Hao was very awesome, there were still many resources in the circle every year that were at the same level as Yang Hao's movies. But now it is different, Yang Hao has become so awesome that he has become famous abroad.

In the circle, only Yang Hao has such resources that can be used both domestically and abroad.

At this moment, Yang Hao was really busy and his phone was ringing non-stop.

It would be fine if they called me if they were my good friends like Ci Peikang, Baoqiang, Hu, Chen He, Da Mimi, Liu Shishi, and Liu Yifei, with whom I have worked before.

Those who had only met him a few times in the industry, such as Brother Long, Zhang Ziyi, Jet Li, and other international celebrities, also called to congratulate him. Yang Hao felt like he was about to become Tang Monk's meat, as if everyone wanted to have a bite.

Along with this popularity, at the invitation of Miramax, Yang Hao brought Meng Ziyi, Chen Xiao, Li Xian and others to the United States and held meet-and-greet sessions with American fans in several cinemas.

Yang Hao is fine, he did not appear in the movie "The Witch", so he does not have many fans in the United States.

But Meng Ziyi is different. She is the absolute heroine of this movie. Although she has an Asian face and does not conform to the mainstream aesthetics of the United States, her heroic and cool fighting scenes in the movie are really exciting and have attracted a large number of American fans.

"meng~Meng!" Along the way, you can hear Meng Ziyi's poor American-style Chinese everywhere.

"Ziyi, how do you feel? Hearing so many foreigners cheering for you, do you feel like an international superstar?" Yang Hao lowered his head slightly and whispered in Meng Ziyi's ear.

"Hehe! Boss, please call me International Meng." Hearing her boss's teasing, Meng Ziyi also said jokingly.

"Have you noticed that your name is Ziyi and Zhang Ziyi is also called Ziyi, and the pronunciations are quite similar. Your current paths are also very similar. It seems that you two are quite destined to be together." Yang Hao said softly, as if he had discovered some blind spot.

"Huh! It seems to be true." After hearing what Yang Hao said, Meng Ziyi found that it seemed to be true.
-
The system is still working hard, the box office is still growing steadily, and the number of theaters is gradually increasing. Even if "Kung Fu Panda 3" and "Mission Impossible 5" are about to be released, they cannot stop the progress of "Witch".

On the third day, the box office revenue of "The Witch" reached 1503 million US dollars.

On the fourth day, "The Witch" earned $1527 million at the box office.

In the following days, the box office remained at around 15 million US dollars.

After a week, the box office of "Witch" reached 1.018 million US dollars. In the last few days of the first week, the box office directly surpassed "Star Wars 7" and won the North American box office championship that week.

The North American box office in the first week exceeded 100 million, an astonishing number.

In fact, this box office revenue converted into RMB is only over 7 million.

You should know that the box office of "The Witch" in China has reached 14.39 billion, which is almost twice the box office in North America.

But the comparison is definitely not the same. After all, one box office is about showing off one's self-esteem, while the other is about bringing glory to the country. Most people still think that a North American box office of over 100 million is more impressive.
-
Yang Hao, China Film, Wanda, and Miramax are all direct beneficiaries of the movie "The Witch", so naturally they are paying close attention to it.

But there is another group of people in the entertainment industry who are not direct beneficiaries of "The Witch", but their attention to "The Witch" is not low at all. They are this group of media reporters.

"The Witch" is a global hit, and they seem to be more excited than Yang Hao.

These days, these media reporters are really too busy. In the past, if they wanted to write an article with traffic, they always had to rack their brains and spend a lot of effort. But now they only need to summarize the overseas box office records and various data of the movie "Witch" and then write an article, and they can get hundreds of thousands of reading clicks.

They have never felt that the KPIs set by the company are so easy to achieve.

"The Witch" grossed over $100 million in North America in its first week, making it the only Chinese-language film to earn over $100 million in a week."

"Shocking! "The Witch" grossed nearly 3 billion in the first week in the US and China"

"Meng Ziyi and Yang Hao's overseas cinema roadshow attracted a large number of fans to watch"

"The Witch is about to create a new record for Chinese-language films at the overseas box office"

……

For a time, all kinds of news about "The Witch" flooded major portals, Weibo hot searches, and Tieba forums.
-
But there is no eternal popularity, and even the most popular topics will eventually ebb.

Li Jian is a freelance writer. His daily job is to capture news hotspots and write hot news for major portals.

Although the first wave of popularity of "The Witch" has passed, Li Jian feels that there is still something to be explored.

By chance, he discovered that there were quite a few articles last year about Yang Hao’s “lucky wife physique”.

Suddenly, Li Jian's eyes lit up. Strictly speaking, Meng Ziyi is a newcomer, and "The Witch" should be her first work to be released.

With the help of Meng Ziyi's name, Yang Hao's "lucky wife physique" can be hyped up again, which will definitely be a good idea.

After thinking this through, Li Jian began to write the article.

"List of stars who have become famous because of Yang Hao's "lucky wife physique""

As soon as this article was published, the number of clicks soared, breaking the one million mark within a few days, and it was reposted more than a hundred times.

In this article, all the female stars that Yang Hao has made popular since his debut are summarized.

"Legend of Lu Zhen" made Zhao Liying famous, "Blade Master 1" made Da Mimi, who was not popular in the movie industry, become popular, "Xu Chun Dao 2" and "Detective Chinatown" made Liu Shishi even more popular, and "The Witch" made Meng Ziyi famous...

This article is written in great detail, listing all the movies and TV series directed and produced by Yang Hao, as well as the female stars who became famous.

In the past, Yang Hao's luck in bringing good luck to his wife was only known to a small circle of people, with people occasionally mentioning it. But after this article, Yang Hao's "lucky wife personality" has become known to everyone.

Many fans even gave Yang Hao a nickname, "Lucky Wife Sheep".

People in the entertainment industry are fine, no one dares to mention the nickname "Lucky Sheep" in front of him.

But many fans were not polite and not only mentioned it in the comments under Yang Hao’s Weibo.

Even when attending public occasions, one can hear fans shouting "旺妻羊" from time to time, which makes Yang Hao feel like he is seeing "Zha Zha Hui".

Li Jian is also an expert. At the peak of traffic for this article, he even made a bold statement on his Weibo.

"Believe it or not, Wangqi Yang can help Liu Yifei, the saint of failed movies, become popular in the movie "Go Away Tumor" which has not yet been released?"

“If I can’t live stream eating shit”

"I think you really want to get free food and drinks. Liu Yifei is always a failure. Although Wangqi Yang does have some merit, I still don't think it's a good idea."

"Support Li Jian. My Feifei will definitely have an outstanding performance in "Go Away Tumor""

……

Some people support Li Jian's flag, while others oppose it.

For a while, there were all kinds of comments under Li Jian’s Weibo.

But I have to say that Li Jian played this trick beautifully, and he managed to get a lot of traffic. In just a few days, his followers increased by hundreds of thousands. (End of this chapter)
