If the box office of "Zhu Xian" really exceeds one billion US dollars, where will it rank in the global box office rankings?

With this question in mind, Ci Peikang began to rummage through the filing cabinet next to his office.

"Found it." Ci Peikang sat back in his office chair with the document in his hand, looking excited.

This document is the latest global box office rankings in October.

Ci Peikang searched downwards row by row.

No. 49 is "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2010" released in 9.77, with a box office of $ million.

No. 48 is "The Dark Knight" released in 2008, with a box office of 10.06 billion US dollars.

In other words, as long as "Zhu Xian" can reach the expected $10 billion, it will be ranked 49th in film history.

This is one of the top 50 box office hits in film history!
Last year, "Witch" only ranked 98th in the global film and television industry, but after a year, it has been squeezed out of the rankings by several blockbusters such as "Captain America 3", "Finding Dory" and "Zootopia".

Now "Zhu Xian" is about to make a comeback, and it is very likely to reach the top 50 of the global box office list in one go.

The top fifty are not comparable to the last ones. It is foreseeable that it will be difficult to squeeze them out of the list in ten or even twenty years.

This is definitely the pride of Chinese entertainment practitioners.

This is definitely the pride of millions of movie fans in China.

This is definitely the pride of Chinese film history.

The box office data of "Zhu Xian" has always been the focus of media reporters. Not long after Ci Peikang received the box office data, the media reporters also knew about it.

Countless media reporters are busy writing, all wanting to be the first to publish their articles and grab first-hand traffic.

"Shocking! Zhu Xian grossed $6.77 million in two weeks, with overseas box office reaching $2.02 million."

“Zhu Xian may break the box office record of The Witch.”

"Zhu Xian is expected to break the billion-dollar mark at the box office and may enter the top 50 in the global film history rankings."

……

Article after article directly made Yang Hao a hot topic, and he became the focus of the entire entertainment industry.
-
Wang Tiandan is a reporter for Sohu. He was delayed due to personal matters and did not benefit from the box office popularity of "Zhu Xian" in its second week.

Wang Tiandan was very upset when he saw that his colleague had met the KPI target for this month after finishing a few articles.

While sorting out Yang Hao's personal information, Wang Tiandan suddenly showed an excited look, as if he had discovered a new world.

"The Richest Tomato", "Detective Chinatown", "The Witch", and "Zhu Xian" which is still in theaters.

The films directed by Yang Hao have grossed a total of 119 billion yuan in China, and if overseas box office is included, the total is as high as 23.18 billion US dollars.

"Boom~" It was as if a thunder exploded.

Yang Hao is not only a billion-dollar producer, but now he is also a billion-dollar director.

Suddenly Wang Tiandan thought of this: Yang Hao is also an actor. How much are the box office revenues of the movies he starred in?

"Charlotte's Troubles", "Go Away Tumor King", "Knife of the Assassin 1 and 2", and "Zhu Xian", the total box office of these movies combined is as high as 97.18 billion.

"Yang Hao is just one step away from gathering billionaire actors, billionaire producers, and billionaire directors." Wang Tiandan secretly felt it was a pity.

But it doesn’t matter. "Zhu Xian" is still in theaters. In a few days at the latest, the movie starring Yang Hao will exceed 10 billion.

By then, the three billion-dollar identities of actor, producer and director will be superimposed. Wang Tiandan dare not imagine how much traffic this will generate.

Wang Tiandan became more and more excited the more he thought about it. He immediately returned to his workstation, turned on his computer, and started typing away on the keyboard, preparing to write a detailed article about Yang Hao's "30 billion identity."

The article was written quickly, but Wang Tiandan was not in a hurry to publish it. Instead, he planned to wait a few more days until the box office of "Zhu Xian" increased a little bit and Yang Hao's status as a billion-dollar actor was well-deserved.

There is no eternal popularity in the entertainment industry. Just when the box office data of "Zhu Xian" was declining, an article was published.

"The box office of the movies directed by Yang Hao has exceeded 10 billion, the box office of the movies starring Yang Hao has exceeded 10 billion, and the movies produced by Yang Hao have exceeded 10 billion."

This article introduces the movies that Yang Hao has directed, starred in, and produced since his debut. It lists all the movies such as "Charlotte's Troubles", "The Richest Tomato", "Detective Chinatown", "The Witch", "Zhu Xian", etc., and also includes the box office of the movies.

Yang Hao is now the traffic code of the entertainment industry. Once these two words are included in the title, traffic will naturally come with it.

What's more, the title of this article is so eye-catching. It not only mentions Yang Hao, but also mentions the billionaire director, billionaire actor, and billionaire producer.

As soon as this article was published, it was clicked and forwarded by countless netizens, and quickly became the top trending topic on Weibo.

"Fuck, Brother Hao is awesome. It feels like Brother Hao hasn't acted in many movies, but the cumulative box office has reached 10 billion."

"Brother Hao has such impressive achievements, how can you let the young stars in the entertainment industry feel?"

"No one should object to saying that Brother Hao is the most accomplished person in the entertainment industry, right?"

"Brother Hao is really awesome. He invested, starred in, and directed the film himself. It's the trinity in one."

……

Countless netizens left comments under this article, almost all of them saying that Yang Hao was bragging.

Yang Hao's achievement is indeed amazing. Chen Zhixi, the billionaire producer in the previous life, has just made his mark in the entertainment industry. Wu Jing, the first billionaire actor, has not yet released Wolf Warrior 2. As for Chen Sicheng, the first billionaire director, he got his own film Detective Chinatown and has no reputation in the entertainment industry.

In 2016, the male actors with the highest box office in China were Deng Chao, Huang Bo, Feng Shaofeng, Wu Yifan, etc. However, their movies are far from reaching the billion box office, and their box office revenue is very inflated, and some of their movies that were only ranked third were also included in their count.

Yang Hao’s achievements are really amazing.

This achievement, coupled with Yang Hao's age of only 24, makes him very unique in the entertainment industry.

Yang Hao does not accept endorsements, commercial performances, or outside dramas. He will not compete for resources with male stars in the circle. He even creates a large amount of resources every year. Therefore, Yang Hao is very popular in the entertainment circle. When he attends parties and activities, artists of the same age call him "Brother Hao, Brother Hao" when they see him.

Yang Hao has a very transcendent status in the entertainment industry. Basically, no one really regards Yang Hao as an actor, and no actor overestimates his own abilities and regards Yang Hao as a competitor.

Usually, reports about Yang Hao are mostly about how his films as a director are doing well, how the films he invested in make money, plus some gossip.

Now it has suddenly been revealed that the movie starring Yang Hao has grossed over 10 billion yuan, which really shocked many male artists in the circle.

The heat continues, and Yang Hao’s achievements are still being explored by the media.

The global box office of the film directed by Yang Hao was "23.18" billion US dollars, and this number was noticed by some people.

"This total box office should be considered one of the best-selling directors in the world, right?"

The media reporter hurriedly looked for information. As of 2016, Steven Spielberg has become the highest-grossing director in the world with 30 billion US dollars from 88.88 movies including "Alien", "Jurassic Park", "Jaws", "Indiana Jones" and so on.

James Cameron has made $2 billion in box office revenue with films such as "Avatar", "Titanic", "Terminator", "Alien 61.31", and "The Abyss", making him the second highest-grossing director in the world.

Michael Bay has earned $1.2.3.4 billion with films including "Transformers 55.90, , , ", "Pearl Harbor", "The Rock", "Bad Boys", etc., becoming the third highest-grossing director in the world.

……

Ron Howard earned $13 billion with films such as "A Beautiful Mind", "Apollo 34.67" and "In the Heart of the Ocean", becoming the tenth highest-grossing director in the world.

Yang Hao ranked 23.18th on the global director box office rankings with US$19 billion.

Yang Hao's total box office did not make it into the top ten, and the media reporters secretly felt it was a pity.

"The release of Zhu Xian has not yet ended, but the cumulative box office of director Yang Hao's films has reached 23.18 billion US dollars, making him one of the best-selling directors in the world."

This news shocked the public even more than the previously revealed billion-dollar actors, billion-dollar producers, and billion-dollar directors.

After all, although netizens think that billionaire actors, billionaire producers, and billionaire directors are awesome, without a reference, netizens don’t know how awesome they are.

But the world's top 20 best-selling directors are different, it's obvious that they are all bragging.

The news that Yang Hao became one of the top 20 highest-grossing directors in the world spread quickly, and even media on the other side of the ocean reported it.

The headline of the entertainment section of Google's portal website is "Yang Hao, the director of "Zhu Xian" and "Witch", has personally directed films with a total box office of $23.18 billion, becoming one of the best-selling directors in the world."

Yang Hao also appeared in the Wall Street Journal, which reported that "Yang Hao is a wealthy man from the Chinese entertainment industry, and his personal net worth has exceeded 5 billion US dollars."

On social platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, some international students have made detailed video introductions to the movies that Yang Hao has invested in and directed in the past few years since his debut.

In this way, Yang Hao unexpectedly became famous on the other side of the ocean.

The global success of "Zhu Xian" has made Da Mimi very popular, and many top international luxury brands have extended olive branches to Da Mimi.

Da Mimi was attending an event for an international brand when suddenly the assistant ran up to her and whispered something in her ear.

"Yang Hao becomes one of the top 20 best-selling directors in the world?" Da Mimi was shocked when she heard the news.

Although I knew that Yang Hao was awesome, I didn't think he was awesome to this extent.

Da Mimi found an excuse to the organizer and sneaked into the lounge. Then she took out her cell phone and browsed the hot search post about Yang Hao on Weibo.

The figure of “23.18 billion US dollars” stimulated Da Mimi’s nerves. At this moment, Da Mimi really thought that Yang Hao was so handsome.

"Honey, you are so handsome. I love you so much." Da Mimi called Yang Hao.

"Mimi, what's wrong with you?" Mimi said this with such enthusiasm that Yang Hao felt very uncomfortable.

"Honey, you're so awesome. The movie you directed grossed 23.18 billion U.S. dollars." Da Mimi didn't think she was having a fever. She felt that she was expressing her love.

"Mimi, you're also amazing. Just think about how much the movie you starred in has made at the box office?" Big Mimi is Yang Hao's favorite. Among his good friends, Big Mimi has the most resources.

If you really count them, the movies starring Da Mimi now have very high box office.

"Knife of the Assassin 1", "Beijing Meets Seattle" 1 and 2, and "Zhu Xian", the cumulative box office of these movies has reached more than billion.

And Da Mimi herself has also starred in many bad movies that did well at the box office.

The four "Tiny Times" movies alone grossed 17 billion yuan at the box office. If we add in the sporadic movies like "Far Cry", the total box office of the movies starring Da Mimi has now reached more than billion yuan.

I believe that as long as "Zhu Xian" is released for a while, the box office of the movie starring Da Mimi will exceed 10 billion.

"'Knife of the Assassin', 'Beijing Meets Seattle', 'Zhu Xian', 'Tiny Times'..." At Yang Hao's reminder, Da Mimi on the other end of the phone was silently calculating with the calculator on her mobile phone.

"Oh, it seems that the total box office of the movies starring me is really more than 9 billion. My husband is really amazing. The movie "Zhu Xian" alone contributed more than 4 billion in box office." Da Mimi said in surprise after calculating the box office.

The box office is only over 9 billion now, maybe next week she will be a 10 billion actress.

I get very excited when I think of this big Mimi.

"Honey, I won't talk to you anymore. I'll have someone issue a notice right away to hype up the billionaire actress." While speaking, Da Mimi hung up the phone.
-
"With the hit of Zhu Xian, Yang Mi has become the highest-grossing female artist in China, and is just one step away from a 10 billion box office."

Jiaxing Media is quite efficient. Less than half an hour after hanging up the phone with Da Mimi, news about Da Mimi being a billionaire actress appeared on the Internet.

Da Mimi’s popularity was already high, and coupled with the use of her money power, this news quickly became a hot topic.

Many of Da Mimi’s fans commented on this Weibo post.

"The billionaire actress, Sister Mi v587, I wish Sister Mi a long and successful career."

"Sister Mi has become the highest-grossing actress in China? Sister Mi is awesome."

"The box office of the movies starring Sister Mi is about to exceed 10 billion, and it is just around the corner for her to become a people's artist."

"Have you noticed that the actresses who are close to Yang Hao, such as Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi, have very high box office sales?"

……

There is no doubt about netizens’ ability to distort the topic.

At the beginning, everyone was discussing Da Mimi's identity as a billionaire actress, and cheering for Da Mimi.

But later, the topic turned to Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi.

The netizen was worthy of being Sherlock Holmes. Ten minutes later, someone calculated the total box office of Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi’s movies.

Liu Yifei has starred in "The Four", "The Forbidden Kingdom", "The Palace of the Golden Phoenix", "Go Away, Tumor King", "Zhu Xian", etc., with a cumulative box office of more than 8 billion.

Liu Shishi is not far behind, having starred in "Knife of the Assassin 2", "Detective Chinatown " and other films, which have grossed over billion yuan.

When the total box office of Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi’s movies was calculated, all netizens were shocked.

"I discovered a surprising fact. The actresses who are close to Brother Hao, Da Mimi, Liu Yifei, and Liu Shishi, have taken the first, second, and third place in the cumulative box office of actresses respectively."

"Brother Hao is really awesome, no wonder he has the title of Lucky Sheep. It's just that the female star who is close to Brother Hao will be the most popular!"
