Director’s Legend

Monday, November 30, 2009. "Old Boy" landed in major theaters in Asia. Because it was a weekend, there was no time for overseas box office statistics. In China, 40% of the film schedule is arranged. Starting from the morning show on Monday, a large number of investigators will go to major theaters to investigate the number of viewers, and send back real-time reports to the headquarters of Dream Chasing Entertainment.

The news sent back was exciting, and a large number of audiences flocked to the cinema to watch the first scene in the morning. But after noon, the data sent back was unbelievable. Almost every movie theater had a long queue just to see "Old Boy".

People who didn't watch it set up a long queue outside, and those who watched it said it was beautiful and moving, and more people walked out of the cinema with red eye circles.

"The best movie I've seen this year, none of them. It's not as sensational as "Those Years", but it's more inspirational and moving. I've listened to the song at the end hundreds of times before, and I'm tired of it. Listening to it now, it’s still so touching.” An excited audience member said to several of his friends who were still waiting in line for tickets after walking out of the cinema.

In the evening, the major theaters are in short supply, and countless audiences who have not bought tickets are waiting outside, asking for additional screenings. For this reason, the major theaters had to arrange other movies that were being shown in the small theaters, and vacate the larger theaters, and even directly withdrew the movies that were still on schedule and replaced them with "Old Boy".

December has fallen, and winter has already entered. Even with the freezing weather, the enthusiasm of the audience still cannot be stopped. It has to be said that with the development of theaters in the past few years, the Chinese film market has been starved for food. A state of short supply. This is still the state of Monday, the time when all office workers go to work.

When Shao Shuaijun was still worrying about his mouth, movies had captured the whole of China.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly, a sunny day.

Shao Shuaijun, who was sleeping, was woken up by the phone call, turned over and continued to sleep. Li Xiuxiu answered the phone in a daze, followed by a shocked "What?".

The person on the other end of the phone chattered and said something, Li Xiuxiu quickly hummed twice, and then hung up the phone. Shaking Shao Shuaijun up: "Honey, good news!"

"What?" Shao Shuaijun asked in a daze.

"The box office statistics on the premiere day of "Old Boy" are out." Li Xiuxiu couldn't wait to cheer, "58 million yuan, my husband, 58 million. You set a record again! The premiere day of "Inception" was only 40 million. The highest The Sunday box office is only 56 million. Add in the Monday box office record, and you have created a new record!"

Shao Shuaijun also woke up from his confusion: "58 million? Did you hear me wrong?"

"Of course not. Sister Mei called in person. The data was calculated at about 3 o'clock in the morning and checked three times before it was confirmed. It is absolutely 58 million yuan! Husband, you are amazing!"

"Ah, hahaha...uh, hehehehe." Shao Shuaijun first opened his mouth to laugh, but he didn't expect to touch a mouth ulcer, and immediately changed from a big laugh to a wry grin.

Since the reform of Chinese films in 1994, the highest box office on the premiere day and the highest single-day box office were created by "Inception". Unexpectedly, an "Old Boy" that didn't have much expectations exploded with such a high degree of enthusiasm. When it was released on Monday, it still broke three records in a row.

A small-budget movie with an investment of less than 20 million RMB can make up the cost in one day and still have a surplus!

"Husband, you are too good. This time "Old Boy" is going to set a new record. I am proud of you." Li Xiuxiu looked at Shao Shuaijun proudly.

Shao Shuaijun's eyes moved, perhaps because the weather was fine, the yang energy was born, and the spring mood suddenly burst forth. He hugged Li Xiuxiu: "It's not just the box office to be proud of. Wife, it's still early, why don't you exercise."

"Oh, I didn't brush my teeth."

"Saliva has a disinfecting effect, and it can be directly sterilized."

The sky was bright, the legs of the bed were shaking, and a profound question about life was staged...

Shao Shuaijun, who is promiscuous during the day, has no time to pay attention to the outside world, but the staff of Mtime.com are on duty with due diligence. Almost as soon as the data was collected, Mtime.com announced the first day's data of "Old Boy" on the homepage in red letters.
