Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't get too excited."

Lin Daoqiu looked very calm, even though he could more or less guess what Karls was going to say.

"Yesterday's box office results came out. "Mission: Impossible" took in 4 million in box office revenue on the first day."

Liang Qian Pavilion had a box office of four million on its first day. This record seemed to be not very good. Lin Daoqiu couldn't figure out why Carls was so happy.

As soon as Karls saw Lin Daoqiu's look, he knew that he had not spoken clearly.

If you just look at the box office on the first day, this drama can only be regarded as mediocre, but the news that came later is what really makes Karls excited.

"The news just came from the cinema. Pre-sales have increased five times compared to yesterday. Today's box office revenue is expected to exceed 10 million."

Lin Daoqiu wiped his face with a towel and looked very calm, but in fact he was extremely excited inside.

This movie has been released in Asia for so long, and it has only exceeded 30 million US dollars. Unexpectedly, it has already earned more than 10 million US dollars at the box office after only two days of release in North America.

Lin Daoqiu didn't know what to say, but it was definitely something worth being happy about.

"Originally, George and I estimated that this drama would earn 30 million in box office in the first week, which was pretty good, but it seems that our judgment was still too conservative."

As long as the reputation of this drama does not collapse, I believe more and more people will come to the show. Even Carls is already looking forward to the possibility of breaking 20 million in a single day.

"If I want to achieve that kind of result, I'm afraid I have to talk to Ashley."

Richardson suddenly walked in.

Lin Daoqiu and Karls looked at each other, and then they both laughed.

"I think some people's faces will definitely look bad this time."

Carls couldn't help laughing happily when he thought about David's deflated appearance.

After all, that guy is too arrogant. I believe the lesson this time will teach him what it means to have someone outside the world.

Warner's exception was held as usual on this day, but compared to before, David looked a little absent-minded today.

The box office results of "Mission: Impossible" have been released, and today's preliminary estimate is that it will reach at least 10 million.

David had always looked down on this show before, but he didn't expect that it would surprise him in just one day.

Originally, he didn't want to participate in today's regular meeting, but if that was the case, it would mean that he had given up, so David finally had to bite the bullet and participate.

"I believe you all know that the pre-sales of "Mission: Impossible" have increased fivefold, and today's box office should be around 10 million."

After Richardson finished speaking, no one at the scene offered any rebuttal, because it was a done deal.

"In view of the outstanding performance of this drama, I hope that the president can fully promote this drama. I think "Mission: Impossible" will eventually reach a box office of over 100 million."

The most important thing for a movie is its stamina. If we don't add more screens and increase publicity at this time, it will be equivalent to pushing the money sent into our hands to the outside world.

In fact, Ashley had already decided before coming here to give the show an additional 2,000 screens and to increase its promotion efforts.

Even if Richardson didn't mention Ashley, he would have decided to do this, because this drama will definitely be Warner's highest-grossing movie this year.

"David, I plan to let Carls be in charge of the promotion of this play."

After hearing this, David raised his head in surprise. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he couldn't get the words out.

Because this time it can be said that he has been completely defeated, and there is no chance to struggle at all. Now at most, he will only be laughed at.

"I'm fine."

After David finished speaking, he lowered his head silently. Now he looked like a complete loser.

Ashley had no intention of comforting David, after all, it was all his own fault.

If it was Richardson who failed now, I believe David would not let him go easily.

"If that's the case, let's go down and do some work."

It can be said that Ashley is in a very good mood today, because this drama has the hope of competing for the annual box office championship.

Although this is a Hong Kong movie and it stars a Chinese female, what does it matter?

For Ashley and Warner, the most important thing is whether a movie can make money.

As for other things, they can only be put aside. For them, it is a good movie if the audience can buy tickets and enter.

…………

When the news came out that Warner announced the addition of 2,000 fast screens, "Mission: Impossible" began to show its prominence in Hollywood.

The box office revenue exceeded 10 million US dollars the next day, and this was before there were additional screens.

By the third day, with the combined efforts of newspapers and TV promotions, the box office revenue of "Mission: Impossible" had exceeded 18 million US dollars.

In just three days, the film grossed US$32 million at the box office, surpassing all other movies released during the same period and ranking first at the box office.

As the star of this drama, Brigitte Lin has been arranged by Warner to appear on TV or accept publicity from newspapers and magazines these days.

Suddenly, Brigitte Lin's name began to be recognized by more and more people.

Those fans who have watched "Mission: Impossible" affectionately call Brigitte Lin Rebecca because this is her name in the movie.

However, compared to Lin Qingxia's busy life, Lin Daoqiu has become more leisurely because he originally didn't like to be interviewed and appear on TV.

So Lin Daoqiu has only been with Brigitte Lin these days. He has not appeared in any newspapers, magazines or TV screens.

However, although Lin Daoqiu is very low-key, it does not mean that he can continue to be relaxed like this.

On this day, Ashley suddenly called Lin Daoqiu and asked him to meet.

"Mr. Lin, this is the freshest Ceylon black tea shipped by air. Please try it."

Ashley invited Lin Daoqiu to his private villa.

Although Lin Daoqiu didn't know what Ashley wanted from him, he believed it might have something to do with the movie.

""Mission: Impossible" has already exceeded 60 million at the box office. We all unanimously believe that the final box office performance of this drama will definitely exceed 100 million."

As soon as Ashley said this, he couldn't help but show a proud expression on his face.

You must know that before he took over Warner, it was just a small company.

It was Ashley who helped parking lot and funeral industry tycoon Stephen Ross acquire Warner Bros.

And he also became the new chairman and CEO of Warner at that time. Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"I believe Mr. Lin has seen the power of Hollywood. I invited you here today because I want to invite you to join Warner Company and produce movies for us."
