After four weeks of release, the total box office of "Detective Chinatown 2" has reached 46.2 billion.
As a movie released in a non-popular period, this result is undoubtedly excellent.
Countless people in the industry are drooling over this project. "Detective Chinatown" is a series of movies. After the word-of-mouth of the first two films, countless movie fans are looking forward to "Detective Chinatown 3".
It can be predicted that as long as the director does not commit suicide, the box office of this movie will not be low.
In the China Film Building, Ci Peikang was sitting in the boss chair in his office, carefully reading the box office statistics report of Chinese films in the first 2017 months of 11.
The eye-catching bold number 562.9 billion on the report stimulated his mind.
According to this box office trend, it is certain that the total box office of Chinese films this year will exceed the 600 billion mark.
Based on the current exchange rate of USD 6.548, the total box office of Chinese films in 2017 is approximately USD 92 billion.
"Alas! Compared with the American film market, it is still far behind." Ci Peikang put down the report in his hand and sighed helplessly.
The U.S. film market has tended to stabilize in recent years, basically maintaining around $110 billion with almost no fluctuations.
There is a 92 percent gap between 110 billion and 20 billion.
Although the gap is obvious, Ci Peikang is not discouraged.
The Chinese film market has been expanding at a rate of more than 15% in recent years. If more efforts are made, perhaps in 2018, the Chinese film market will surpass the United States and become the world's largest box office.
Thinking that the Chinese film market would become the world's number one under his leadership, Ci Peikang couldn't help but feel excited.
This is a real political achievement. As long as this goal is achieved, my vice-ministerial retirement benefits should be secure, right?
Now people in the circle are saying that Yang Hao has two mentors, one is Han Sanpin and the other is Ci Peikang.
It is their support behind the scenes that has enabled Yang Hao to achieve what he has today.
Faced with this argument, Ci Peikang sneered.
Ordinary talents may need a mentor, but a genius like Yang Hao can still shine brightly even if he is buried in the desert.
This year, of the 2 billion yuan in China's film market, the three films "Zhu Xian", "Dying to Survive" and "Detective Chinatown 130" had a box office of 22 billion yuan, accounting for % of China's total box office.
How could it be that I was the one who made Yang Hao successful?
It was clearly Yang Hao who made himself successful.
Nowadays, if you have achieved something, you cannot just keep making money quietly. You also need to learn how to publicize it and let the leaders above know. Otherwise, no matter how good the results are, it will be in vain.
Ci Peikang looked at the secretary standing beside him, and an idea came to his mind. He pointed at the report in his hand and said to the secretary,
"Write a few articles based on this data, publish them, and then ask the media to hype it up. Make sure everyone knows about it."
After hearing Ci Peikang's words, the secretary immediately went to carry them out.
"As of November 2017, 11, the total box office of Chinese films has reached 30 billion yuan, which is only 562.9% lower than the total box office of the U.S. film market. It is expected that next year it will surpass the U.S. and become the world's largest box office."
Internet media such as Tencent, Sohu, Baidu, and offline media such as Yanjing Evening News and Yanjing Youth Daily all rushed to report this event.
As the helmsman of China Film Corporation, Ci Peikang is frequently mentioned by these media and newspapers.
Ci Peikang was the most famous person for a while.
China has a splendid civilization of 5,000 years, and is the race with the strongest sense of national honor.
Over the past few decades, no matter whether China has caught up with the United States in sports, culture, economy, or military, it has been greeted with cheers from countless Chinese people.
Now that the Chinese film market is about to surpass that of the United States, this has undoubtedly inspired the sense of national honor among countless Chinese people.
As the popularity increased, information about Yang Hao was also dug up.
"In 2017, the three films produced by Yang Hao, "Zhu Xian", "Dying to Survive" and "Detective Chinatown 2", had a total box office of 130 billion yuan, accounting for 22% of the total box office for the year."
“2014、2015、2016、2017连续四年,杨浩出品电影都占据华夏电影市场的百分之20以上。”
……
As a private company, the movies produced by it account for 20% of the annual box office. It is not an exaggeration to describe Yang Hao as the pillar of China's box office.
This is 130 billion!
In the past, Yang Hao was only known as a billion-dollar producer by the media.
It is no longer appropriate to use this title now.
"Charlotte's Troubles", "The Richest Tomato", "The Swords of Assassination", "The Witch", "Zhu Xian", "Dying to Survive", "Detective Chinatown 2", etc. The total box office of movies produced by Yang Hao has exceeded 300 billion.
He is well-deserved of the title of 30 billion producer.
The Chinese people, who are full of a sense of national honor, are proud of the prosperity of the Chinese film market, and many fans are cheering for Yang Hao's film achievements.
All of a sudden, countless comments appeared under Yang Hao’s Weibo.
"A producer worth 30 billion, Yang Hao is awesome!"
"Yang Hao is awesome, he alone supports half of the Chinese film market."
"Brother Hao, keep up the good work and strive to produce more good movies next year so that the Chinese film market can completely surpass the US."
"I seldom go to the cinema to watch movies, and I always buy pirated resources. But this time, in order to completely surpass the US film market, I will support Yang Hao's "War of the Liches" with a movie ticket."
It has to be said that Ci Peikang's publicity of his political achievements allowed Yang Hao to also benefit from this wave of traffic.
With the support of this traffic, the popularity of "Lich War" has reached a new level.
-
The Chinese media and netizens were in an uproar, but Yang Hao turned a deaf ear and just quietly accompanied the women as they waited for their babies to be born.
In December, Da Mimi also entered the due date.
On this day, Yang Hao was having dinner with a few girls.
At this moment, Da Mimi suddenly put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and turned to look at Yang Hao.
"Honey, my water broke."
After hearing what Da Mimi said, Yang Hao subconsciously looked under Da Mimi and saw a water stain on her pants.
"Don't panic, I'll go call the nurse."
As he spoke, Yang Hao stood up, walked to the head of the bed, pressed the button, and then helped Da Mimi lie down on the bed to prevent excessive loss of amniotic fluid.
Now many women around me have given birth to children. With so much experience, they know that amniotic fluid rupture is a normal phenomenon during labor, so they are not panicked.
Da Mimi is pregnant with her second child and has more experience. She knows that it will take at least several hours before the baby is due.
Da Mimi knew that giving birth was physically demanding work for women, and that they had to eat well, so she said to Yang Hao, "Honey, please bring the food."
Yang Hao nodded and brought several dishes that Da Mimi liked to her.
Da Mimi looked so calm while eating, which stunned Da Tiantian, Zhao Liying and Liu Shishi who were sitting at the table.
You are taking childbirth too lightly, aren't you? "Mi Mi, you are about to give birth, why aren't you panicking at all?" Liu Shishi was also due to give birth in three weeks, so she humbly asked Mi Mi for advice.
Da Tiantian was also very curious about Liu Shishi's question, so she focused her attention and prepared to listen to what Da Mimi would say next.
"It's just the amniotic fluid that has broken. The actual delivery is still at least several hours away. Some may even have to wait a day before uterine contractions. You must eat now, otherwise how will you have the strength to give birth?" Da Mimi explained casually while taking a mouthful of rice.
After listening to Da Mimi's explanation, Zhao Liying nodded frequently as a person who had experienced it. She suffered a lot when giving birth and fainted from exhaustion after doing so.
……
This is a private hospital, and Yang Hao spent a lot of money to stay in the intensive care unit.
After pressing the emergency button at the bedside, Yang Hao just walked out of the ward and was met by nurses and doctors who rushed over in a hurry.
The doctor and nurse were very professional. They gave Da Mimi a physical examination and found that there were no major problems.
"Mr. Yang, my wife is in great health and will definitely give birth smoothly soon."
"When you feel the pain from the contractions, press the button on the bedside in time and I will come over as soon as possible."
The doctor spoke to Yang Hao for a few words, and then kept instructing the nurse beside him to come here for patrol every half an hour.
-
Yang Hao, Liu Shishi, Zhao Liying and Da Tiantian sat down next to each other on the bench in the corridor outside the delivery room.
"Yang Hao, the last time Liying went into the delivery room, you were walking around with an anxious look on your face. Why are you not anxious now that Mimi is in?" Da Tiantian asked curiously.
"Mimi, this is the second baby. The fetal position is also correct. There will be no problem."
"And..." Yang Hao stopped talking halfway.
"And what? Tell me quickly." Zhao Liying and Liu Shishi were also curious and hurriedly urged Yang Hao to continue.
Yang Hao didn't say anything immediately, but glanced at the three women's buttocks.
Then he said, "And a big butt is good for giving birth."
When Yang Hao said this, the girls all understood.
This means that Da Mimi's figure is more suitable for having children!
"Okay! Yang Hao, do you think my figure is not as good as Mimi's?" Zhao Liying was unhappy again at this time.
My head hurts!
Having several women around you at once is a great pleasure, but there is always jealousy every day.
"Small has its advantages, big has its advantages, I like both."
"And haven't you noticed that, thanks to my development, you are now in much better shape than before?"
"Quack~Quack~" Just as Yang Hao was talking to the women, the door of the delivery room was pushed open, and bursts of baby crying were heard from inside.
So fast?
Zhao Liying stayed in the delivery room for three hours last time, but Da Mimi has only been in the delivery room for more than 40 minutes?
The speed of giving birth is almost as fast as suffering from chronic constipation.
It seems that this big Mimi not only has a physique that is easy to get pregnant, but also a holy body for giving birth to children.
"Is it a boy or a girl?" Da Mimi asked the nurse beside her with full energy while lying on the trolley.
Zhao Liying fell into a coma when she gave birth last time, but Da Mimi not only did not fall into a coma, she even spoke with full energy. How could she look like someone who had just given birth?
"Mimi, how do you feel?" Yang Hao quickly walked to Mimi's trolley bed and asked with concern.
"That's great, go and see if it's a boy or a girl." Da Mimi urged Yang Hao again.
It seems that Da Mimi really cares whether the child is a boy or a girl.
"Mi Mi, is this important? As long as it's mine, I like it regardless of gender." Yang Hao did not check it out immediately, but assured Mi Mi that he didn't care about gender.
"Humph! You don't care but I do."
A big reason why Da Mimi gave birth to a second child this time was that she wanted to help Yang Hao give birth to a son, so she cared about it very much.
"Congratulations, congratulations, it's a boy." The nurse came over at this time, put the child on the bedside, and let Da Mimi check it.
Da Mimi quickly caught a glimpse of the baby's little penis out of the corner of her eye, and she immediately felt happy, feeling that the suffering she had endured was not in vain.
-
Full-term babies are good and don’t need to be kept in an incubator. Yang Hao held Zhao Liying’s and Da Mimi’s children in his left and right respectively and happily teased the two little ones.
Zhao Liying and Da Mimi also smiled happily when they saw Yang Hao so happy.
Liu Shishi and Da Tiantian saw this scene. They were very envious and reached out to touch their stomachs at the same time.
It seems like she is looking forward to the birth of the baby.
Just when Yang Hao was enjoying family happiness, his cell phone rang.
This is a private cell phone and ordinary people cannot call it. Yang Hao quickly put down the child in his hand, took out the cell phone and saw that it was Ci Peikang calling.
"Yang Hao, where have you been these days? You were nowhere to be seen before and after the release of Detective Chinatown."
"I am about to discuss the overseas screening schedule of Lich Wars with the Miramax team. You must come back for this matter."
As soon as the call was connected, Ci Peikang's somewhat complaining words came from the other end.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Ci, I will be there on time for the Lich Wars screening."
After the overseas success of "The Witch" and "Zhu Xian", Yang Hao has already gained considerable fame overseas. In a sense, Miramax values Yang Hao more than Ci Peikang.
Yang Hao negotiated with Miramax on overseas film scheduling, and the results were even better than those of Ci Peikang.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Hao turned his attention to the four women.
The phone call just now did not avoid the four girls. They heard the content of Yang Hao's phone call clearly and knew that "War of the Liches" was about to be released and Yang Hao had to return home.
"Mimi, Liying, Tiantian, Shishi, you should have heard the phone call just now. I have to go back to China."
Yang Hao's words made the atmosphere in the room slightly silent.
The five of them lived together for several months. Without the pressure of work, their hearts were filled with only Yang Hao. This kind of life was simply better than heaven.
Now, when they suddenly heard that Yang Hao was leaving, they couldn't help but feel reluctant to let him go.
"Well, go early and come back early." In the end, it was Da Mimi who spoke first and agreed to let Yang Hao return to China.
"I'm about to give birth. You must come back before I give birth, otherwise I will hate you for the rest of my life." Liu Shishi continued.
Although Zhao Liying and Da Tiantian didn't say anything, Yang Hao saw the reluctance in their eyes.
"Well, I will definitely be back in three to five days at most." Yang Hao made up his mind. After attending the film screening and discussing the screening schedule, he flew back immediately.
Yang Hao will not participate in the subsequent promotion of "Lich War".
Anyway, the secret to the success of my own movies is the box office cashback system.
Without Da Tiantian and the other main creators to participate in the promotion, the box office might be lower, but it doesn’t matter. Motherhood is more important. (End of this chapter)
