Chapter 791 791. Leading the Way

"Hahaha!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"I know it, I know it!" Luo Kai ran to Nie Wei's room early in the morning. When he entered the room, he burst into laughter. Not only did he laugh, he also dangled in front of Nie Wei's eyes, mumbling excitedly. .

"Nie Wei, I knew you couldn't lose. If you make such a good-looking movie, there will definitely be people who will appreciate it. I really thought it was right. Look, let the people who looked down on you yesterday and those people who made sarcastic remarks have a look. You are the big winner in the Christmas season. That Pitt's "Rejuvenation" took away nearly 30 million at the box office!"

"Uh... isn't it less than four million?" Nie Wei also read the morning report. The media was surprised by the explosion of "Assassin's League" on the second day, so they specially made a comparison with the second-placed "Return to Youth" In comparison, the box office data difference between the two is about 4 million.

However, Nie Wei quickly realized that the 30 million Luo Kai mentioned was Chinese currency. This guy even automatically converted US dollars into Chinese currency to highlight the results, which made Nie Wei laugh even thinking about it.

"Brother Luo Kai, calm down, I'm going to feel dizzy when you leave."

"How do you ask me to calm down? I can't calm down at all now. You know when I got this data, my heart was about to explode with joy." When Luo Kai said these words, the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears. .

He was so happy.

Even though it has only been two days since the movie was released, the pressure in these two days is simply greater than the pressure he had in the previous year. In just two days, he even had gray hair, and he did Being an agent is so stressful, let alone Nie Wei, who is the director and star of this film.

Luo Kai knew very well that although Nie Wei looked calm and relaxed, he was sure that Nie Wei was also under tremendous pressure. In the past two days, Luo Kai found that Nie Wei would always I was so distracted that I even gave up on exercising every morning for the past two days.

Sometimes in the past two days, Luo Kai even thought about asking Nie Wei not to come to Hollywood. It would be better to stay in China. Nie Wei would never fail there, but in this strange country and strange entertainment industry, everything was different. It is strange and unknown, and even the Chinese people in the seats are still subject to certain implicit discrimination, so why bother?

Of course, he didn't say this thought out loud, nor would he say it out loud, because he knew that no one could persuade Nie Wei to do what he wanted to do.

Fortunately, all these pressures and worries disappeared the moment I got the box office report this morning, and what was left was the excitement and joy that filled every corner of Luo Kai's body.

In this mood, he couldn't sit still at all, as if he couldn't express the swollen joy in his heart without taking a walk.

"Then I have another good news here. Do you want to hear it?" Nie Wei couldn't help but smile and asked after hearing Luo Kai's answer.

"What's the good news?" Luo Kai was startled, then immediately looked at Nie Wei with bright eyes and asked excitedly.

"If you want to know, sit down first. Brother Luo Kai, you are more than ten years older than me. Why are you not as calm as me?" Nie Wei did not tell Luo Kai directly, but asked him to sit down first.

"How can I compare with you." Luo Kai didn't feel embarrassed after being scolded by Nie Wei, but felt that it was natural, because in his impression, Nie Wei was someone who could not be treated according to his normal age, let alone himself Luo Kai even felt that the company's boss Wang Zhonglei was not as calm as Nie Wei.

For example, in many major matters, the ability and attitude of these two people in handling matters are obvious. As a bystander, Luo Kai can see it clearly.

"Nie Wei, stop praising my curiosity and tell me quickly." Luo Kai urged.

"Haha, Disney called me today and told me that our "Assassin's Creed" screen count has been increased." Nie Wei did not continue to tease Luo Kai, and directly said that it was worth being happy the next day, which was also what Nie Wei saw Things to expect after results.

After all, for the sake of profit, movie theaters will have many movies that lose the opportunity to continue to be screened every day, and these free screenings will naturally give priority to those movies that have been screened well, such as "The League of Assassins".

Because "League of Assassins" won the single-day box office championship yesterday, major theaters also adjusted the number of "League of Assassins" overnight. So Nie Wei got the news today that "League of Assassins" has been released from the initial US single The number of screens per day has increased from 2,000 to about 2,400.

The number of screenings suddenly increased by nearly 20%, and the support provided by AMC was the most powerful. AMC alone added nearly 150 more screenings for "League of Assassins" in a single theater chain. .

Nie Wei is very happy about AMC's success. This not only affects the immediate interests of "League of Assassins", but judging from the other party's gesture of goodwill, most people in this company should support him to lead it. This company is moving forward.

The will of the people will be of great help to Nie Wei's management and operations after acquiring the company. Of course, the premise is that these people will not harm the company's interests.

And Luo Kai was already laughing again. The good news is really either not coming, or coming in droves. I just got the good news this morning that "Assassin's League" won the single-day box office championship. As a result, Nie Wei He also told him that the movie's scheduling rate has increased again. Doesn't this mean that "Assassin's League" may perform better today?

"Wait a minute, let me go see what movies are released today." Luo Kai thought of this, suddenly stopped laughing, and then rushed towards the computer.

Five minutes later, Luo Kai sat in front of the computer and shouted loudly to Nie Wei: "Nie Wei, today's box office champion is definitely yours."

He dared to shout so confidently because none of the five new movies released today could pose a threat to Nie Wei. They were all low-cost movies released by some small independent film companies. There was not even a decent star. How could they compete with "Assassins' Alliance"?

After all, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" with Brad Pitt and David Fincher was not a match for Nie Wei's "Assassins' Alliance". These small movies were just chickens and pottery dogs in Luo Kai's eyes at this moment.

If the directors of these movies and the production companies behind them knew Luo Kai's thoughts, they would be very angry.

Although they are small productions, those that can be released in the Christmas season are all "fine products" launched by them. Of course, these people did not think about going for the box office champion. Small companies and small productions also have their own unique way of survival. They pursue more cost-effectiveness, that is, to win big with a small investment. Even if they lose money, it will not hurt the company itself.

Without Luo Kai's words, Nie Wei also felt that if "Assassin's Alliance" could continue the momentum of yesterday, then the box office champion would still be his.

Not to mention Luo Kai's idea, the first thing Nie Wei did after getting up this morning was to check the movies that would be released today. He had long known that there was no threat to the existence of "Assassin's Alliance", not to mention that today's "Assassin's Alliance" was even stronger than yesterday. After all, the additional 400 screens were not just for show, but real combat power!

Listening to Luo Kai's excited muttering on the computer, Nie Wei was about to stop him from muttering, and the phone in his pocket rang. He took it out and saw that it was Li Binbin calling.

I think it was because of the box office results in the United States. After Nie Wei got the box office data report today, he immediately sent a text message to Wang Zhonglei and Li Binbin, the heroine of the movie, to tell them the good news.

Sure enough, after answering the phone, Li Binbin didn't even bother to greet Nie Wei first, but asked Nie Wei in a trembling voice: "Nie Wei, is it true or not, is the box office result you gave me true or false, did our movie really win the single-day box office champion?"

Li Binbin's voice was full of excitement, and even the tone of her hometown dialect came out. You know, what Li Binbin cares about most is her hometown accent.

After all, her hometown accent is a local dialect that is very close to Mandarin, and the closer it is, the harder it is to change. Some roles do not allow Li Binbin's accent to have the flavor of her hometown local dialect. She is unwilling to use dubbing, so she forces herself, not only in acting, but even in daily conversations, try not to use her hometown dialect.

Unexpectedly, when Li Binbin was excited today, she rarely revealed her hometown dialect.

Nie Wei felt quite cordial, because his uncle Zhou was also Li Binbin's fellow villager, and Nie Wei was used to the tone of Uncle Zhou's speech. When Li Binbin spoke in his hometown dialect, Nie Wei also missed home a little.

"How could I tease you about this, Sister Binbin, you really won the single-day box office champion, and this is just the beginning, we have to win the weekly box office champion! Even the monthly box office champion!" Nie Wei said very ambitiously at this moment.

Of course, Nie Wei was lucky that he had not been overwhelmed by this good result and shouted the slogan of the annual box office champion. After all, this year's "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" has a North American box office of 530 million and a global box office of 1.58 billion US dollars. Even if Nie Wei overestimates "Assassin's League", he knows that his movie box office can never catch up with the other party.

"Good, good, great." Li Binbin didn't care whether Nie Wei was bragging or not at this moment. Anyway, she said good to whatever Nie Wei said. At the end of the speech, Li Binbin's voice suddenly choked, which made Nie Wei, who was excited to talk to Li Binbin about the increase in movie schedules, stop talking.

"Sister Binbin..."

"Nie Wei, I am happy, really, I am so happy." Li Binbin was curled up on the sofa in the lounge at this time, completely ignoring the tears that had ruined her makeup. At this moment, she was filled with joy and the relief she felt after being released from the depression she had been suppressing for so many years after her success.

"Assassin's League" made 250 million in two days in China, and also won the single-day box office champion abroad. Li Binbin knew that the pressure on her had disappeared with the great success of this movie. What was left was the time to taste the fruits of victory and of course look forward to a bright future.

But before that, she was most grateful to Nie Wei, who gave her this role and helped her a lot in person. A thank you was too light. If she could give herself to him, Li Binbin felt that she would not hesitate at all. Moreover, she was not the kind of person who liked to express it verbally. She just buried this huge gratitude in her heart and let it turn into an unforgettable favor.

Li Xue had just finished discussing the conditions with the program crew, and when she returned to the lounge, she saw her sister crying like a ghost, and was immediately shocked.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me." The folder in Li Xue's hand fell to the ground, and she didn't care about the program scripts scattered on the ground. She hurriedly took two steps at a time and came to Li Binbin and asked anxiously.

"It's okay. I'm just happy. I just finished talking to Nie Wei. The movie "Assassins" became popular in the United States. The next day, it won the single-day box office championship, surpassing Brad Pitt's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and received a box office of 15.72 million US dollars." Seeing her sister's anxious look, Li Binbin finally calmed down and answered with a smile while wiping her face.

But it would be better if she didn't wipe it. This time, it was like drawing a Peking Opera mask for herself. Even Li Xue, who was originally worried, couldn't help laughing when she saw it.

But what made her more excited was what her sister told her just now.

So while turning out wet tissues for Li Binbin, Li Xue asked excitedly: "Sister, are you saying that "Assassins" is also popular in the United States?"

"Of course, Nie Wei told me personally that your sister now has many fans in the United States." Li Binbin answered with a hint of pride while wiping her face with wet tissues. As a Chinese actress, it is of course worth being proud of to be able to make a name for herself in Hollywood.

You know, before her, only Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi were well-known in Hollywood, and now, Li Binbin can be added to this list.

Li Xue was delighted when she heard Lin Binbin's affirmative answer again, and hurriedly asked Li Binbin if she could follow her to the United States soon.

"Well, we will leave for the United States in a week. Nie Wei just told me on the phone that he hopes I can go to the United States. He can help me arrange a few talk shows and accept interviews, which can also be regarded as consolidating the hard-earned popularity." Li Binbin also showed a hint of excitement when she heard Li Xue mention the United States.

Going international has always been her most desired thing in her heart, and now it is finally coming true. She even feels that her heart is beating three times faster than usual.

Christmas has passed, but the movie is still being released. On the 26th, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" did not catch up with and surpass "Assassin's League" as some media expected. Instead, the gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger.

The attendance rate of "Assassin's Alliance", which has 400 more screens, has only dropped by less than two percentage points, and the box office on that day has increased by 3 million compared with yesterday, with a score of 19 million, and once again won the box office champion of the day.

Many experts thought that the movie would decline today, but they were completely wrong. Instead, they guessed that today, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" would catch up because of the decline in the performance of "Assassin's Alliance".

Today, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" still ranks second on the box office list of the day, but its box office performance is only 9.9 million, an overall decline of 2 million, which has further widened the gap between it and "Assassin's Alliance".

Many experts said that they couldn't understand the box office of the two movies, and some even jumped out and shouted that this was unscientific.
