“I watched it twice.”
Zhou Miao stretched out her hand and licked her lips nervously, "You acted so well in it, I like you so much."
Her words made Mo Anqi laugh out loud, and Zhou Miao even noticed that Jiang Se also smiled and nodded to her:
"Thanks."
Zhou Miao seemed to be praised. She was still dizzy when the elevator reached the 26th floor and forgot to say "goodbye". It was not until Jiang Se and Mo Anqi got out of the elevator that she came to her senses and wanted to catch up with them to talk. But she remembered the company's rules and lost her courage.
Mo Anqi looked back and saw Zhou Miao still looking regretful, looking at Jiang Se pitifully.
"After the release of "Beijing Events", it had a great impact on you, Sese."
"Beijing Great Event" has been released for two days and has performed well at the box office. In addition to making good movies, Lin Xiwen is also a good hand at marketing.
The time of release was also chosen well. Among the movies released at the same time, there was no rival that could compete with "Beijing Great Event". As a result, the box office of "Beijing Great Event" has crushed the movies released at the same time, and it has almost dominated the entertainment section topics in the past two days.
Jiang Se also attracted a lot of attention with this movie. The number of followers of several social media accounts increased from more than 1.6 million to nearly 10 million, and there were more comments. When entering Century Galaxy, even the front desk staff acted like a fan. It can be imagined that Jiang Se's role in the movie is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
The two chatted for a few words, and then they heard the staff shouting:
"Sister Xia."
Jiang Se turned around and saw Xia Chaoqun, wearing a silver-gray suit, coming out of the elevator.
She had a folder in her hand, and when she saw Jiang Se, she nodded and asked her to follow:
"The first day box office statistics for "Beijing Great Event" in North America are out."
Xia Chaoqun showed a rare smile on his face, "From the first day, the box office performance is good."
From the very beginning of the filming of "Beijing Grand Event", Dong Mingsheng of China Investment Corporation withdrew his investment. As a result, people in the industry were not optimistic about "Beijing Grand Event" after Dong Mingsheng withdrew his investment. Therefore, Pei Yi took over the situation left by Dong Mingsheng, and after jointly investing with Nie Dan and others, he also took over the post-production distribution work.
When Pei Yi invested, he didn't think about making money, but after the release of "Beijing Events", the box office performance was quite good.
According to statistics, the domestic box office has reached 600 million in two days. Although it is not as good as "The Rescue" directed by Zhang Jing'an, it is already a very impressive report card for domestic movies. At least if this trend continues, when "Beijing Grand Event" is taken off the screen later, not only will Pei Yi not lose the money he invested at that time, he may even make a profit.
"Beijing Great Event" was released in China on January 1st, and its release time in North America was one day later than in China, but the box office statistics for the first day are also out.
"The box office revenue on the first day reached 5.81 million US dollars. Various newspapers, magazines and film critics have given good reviews to this film. In terms of box office revenue, it is already on par with Zhang Jingan's earlier film 'The Rescue'. This is a very good start, Sese."
It was because he heard such good news that Xia Chaoqun's steps seemed to be carried by the wind when he walked.
In terms of international status, Lin Xiwen and Zhang Jing'an are incomparable. Zhang Jing'an has previously filmed several well-received films and is very well-known internationally.
So after "The Rescue" was released, many companies rushed to distribute it. On the first day of its release in North America, there were more than 3,500 cinemas showing "The Rescue". In the end, the box office on the first day earned about 6 million US dollars, becoming the box office champion of the day and making a name for itself in North America.
The reason why Lin Xiwen's "Beijing Events" was able to be released in North America was thanks to Nie Dan and others. Apart from the fact that the director was not as famous as Zhang Jing'an, the cast was also much worse.
Although the male and female leading actors are well-known in China, they cannot be compared with Liu Ye in "Rescue Operation", not to mention that in "Beijing Events", Lin Xiwen boldly used newcomer Jiang Se.
Initially, the industry was not optimistic about the prospects of this film. On the first day of its release in North America, there were only 2,200 cinemas showing "The Great Incident at Peking", which was nearly one-third less than the resources of "The Rescue". But when the first day's box office came out, it surprised many people.
The box office of "Peking Incident" on the first day reached 5.81 million US dollars. Although the box office revenue was not as good as "Rescue Operation", anyone with a discerning eye could see who won and who lost.
With the good response from the film market, it is very likely that the screening volume of "Beijing Great Event" will increase in the future. Once the number of theaters showing the film increases, the overseas box office may even surpass "Rescue Operation". If this is true, it would be an unexpected surprise and would also be beneficial to Jiang Se's future development.
"You remember Hill, one of the judges at the film festival, right?"
Xia Chaoqun led Jiang Se into a meeting room, blocking the prying eyes outside the door. Seeing Jiang Se pulled a chair and sat down, and nodded, she continued:
"Hill has a very good impression of you and speaks highly of you. He thinks that your appearance in "Beijing Event" is the most outstanding among Chinese female stars in recent years and best represents the image of oriental beauty."
Her assistant brought in coffee and she took a sip. "If the overseas box office of Peking Great Event can maintain this growth, it is very likely to surpass the films of the same period and become the box office champion of this week."
If what Xia Chaoqun expected were true, then "Peking Events" might cause a sensation in North America, and Jiang Se's fame might skyrocket.
Xia Chaoqun put down the cup, raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Se:
"If that's the case, are you sure you want to take on the filming of 'Devil' again?"
Her look in "Beijing Sacrifice" was so successful that the North American market responded strongly to "Beijing Sacrifice", not because the film was much better than Zhang Jing'an's "Rescue Operation" in terms of plot, shooting and actors' performances, but simply because "Beijing Sacrifice" took a different approach, starting with clothes and appearance. The character Doukou played by Jiang Se looked pure but not coquettish, noble but not coquettish, with the charm of a Chinese lady, representing the oriental classical beauty. Foreigners who are used to watching all kinds of blockbusters are like getting tired of hamburgers and fries and then eating Chinese dishes, and they are very satisfied.
In other words, the success of "Beijing Great Event" is not so much due to the plot and the actors' acting skills, but rather to the unique charm of Eastern culture that impressed foreigners.
"The movie has only been released in China for two days, and Mr. Luo called me this morning." (To be continued)
