Chapter 74 Breaking Records
Asia Grand Hotel, a five-star hotel.
Gu Qingshan held the premiere banquet for "Lost in Thailand" in this banquet hall.
As the host, Gu Qingshan first expressed his gratitude.
Han Sanping also said a few words, praising "Lost in Thailand".
The premiere of "Lost in Thailand" was far less expensive than that of "Red Cliff Part I," but the audience response was much better.
The publicity budget for "Lost in Thailand" didn't even match the cost of the premiere of "Red Cliff Part I," but Han Sanping was very happy.
Judging from the audience's reaction, as long as there are enough screenings and promotional resources, it shouldn't be a problem for "Lost in Thailand" to surpass "Red Cliff Part I", and it might even surpass "Lost on Journey".
The bosses of other companies, however, were thinking about other things at that moment.
Since "Night Shop" grossed 56 million yuan and "Love is Not Blind" grossed over 200 million yuan, many companies have been copying Gu Qingshan's films, which is to say, following the trend.
After all, the film's investment was not large, and the filming difficulty was not high.
However, the box office performance was not ideal, and it always felt like something was missing.
With the release of "Lost in Thailand," people can't help but wonder if it was filmed abroad.
However, everyone's attention then turned to some of the directors in the room.
Gu Qingshan has proven that a blockbuster film may not need big stars, but it cannot do without a great director.
The banquet was very lively and lasted until 11 p.m.
......
"What are the box office figures for the midnight screening? How much?"
Jing Tian changed into a pink pajama set, put on a headband, bent down and threw the black fishnet stockings on the ground into the trash can. Seeing Gu Qingshan browsing the news, she walked over to Gu Qingshan.
Gu Qingshan reached out and pulled Jing Tian over, letting Jing Tian sit on his lap.
"Not yet, you'll have to wait a while."
For midnight screenings, the box office figures won't be available until around 1:30 PM.
This is still due to the influence of the Internet; otherwise, it would have been even later.
Gu Qingshan reached into his pajamas to explore while looking at his laptop.
With the release of "Lost in Thailand", the funds in "Lost in Thailand"'s accounts can be merged into Qingshan Film & Television.
This is a sum of 7500 million yuan, which directly brought Qingshan Film & Television's cash reserves to 2.7 million yuan.
This is the source of Gu Qingshan's confidence!
The two played around for a while, and Gu Qingshan nibbled on the food for a bit.
The box office figures for the midnight screenings of "Lost in Thailand" have finally been released.
The midnight screening of "Lost in Thailand" grossed 600 million yuan, surpassing the more than 500 million yuan grossed by "Red Cliff Part I"!
"My God, this has broken the record for midnight screenings!" Jing Tian exclaimed in amazement as he looked at the data.
This is the highest midnight screening box office record in the Chinese film market, and also the highest midnight screening box office record for all of Gu Qingshan's films to date.
Gu Qingshan smiled, "It seems everyone likes it quite a bit!"
The significance behind this data is quite extraordinary!
In addition to the large number of midnight screenings, it also indicates that the attendance rate for midnight screenings is very high.
"Let's celebrate again, just the two of us~~" Gu Qingshan glanced at Jing Tian.
Jing Tian turned pale instantly and tried to run away.
But Gu Qingshan wouldn't let her run away, and pulled her back into his arms.
......
In the early hours of the morning, when major media outlets obtained the box office data for the midnight screenings of "Lost in Thailand," they were greatly shocked and worked overtime overnight to rush to report on it.
According to sources from the cinema chain, director Gu Qingshan's new film "Lost in Thailand 2" grossed 600 million yuan in its midnight screenings (including the premiere), and the cinemas were filled with laughter during its run.
"At midnight on September 26, the highly anticipated comedy film 'Lost in Thailand 2' premiered in mainland China, with its midnight screenings grossing 6 million yuan, breaking the record for midnight screenings and achieving director Gu Qingshan's best result. Moviegoers have expressed that 'Lost in Thailand 2' surpasses 'Lost in Thailand' and is even more hilarious."
"Painted Skin's midnight screenings grossed over one million yuan, not less than the six million yuan grossed by Lost in Thailand's midnight screenings. Painted Skin has lost its first battle."
"Lost in Thailand 2" grossed 600 million yuan at midnight screenings, with enthusiastic responses and constant laughter from the audience, receiving unanimous praise from moviegoers.
"Lost in Thailand 2: The midnight screening of 'Lost on Journey 2' grossed 6 million yuan. Continuing the laughter of 'Lost on Journey,' the film's quality has reached a new level, and audiences have expressed that it is a conscientious comedy masterpiece."
"Yesterday evening, the premiere of 'Lost in Thailand 2' was held at the Workers' Stadium in Beijing, attracting 2 people, setting a new record for the largest premiere attendance..."
The news coverage of the premiere and the midnight screenings dominated the headlines.
"Painted Skin" was completely outshone in terms of publicity, with less than half the space allocated to "Lost in Thailand".
The 600 million yuan box office for the midnight screening was completely unexpected.
Despite mobilizing so many resources, the midnight screening of "Red Cliff Part 1" only grossed a little over 5 million.
Meanwhile, "Lost in Thailand" immediately surpassed the midnight screening box office of "Red Cliff Part I".
The midnight screening box office record for "Red Cliff Part I" lasted for less than three months, and before it could even settle in, it was dethroned.
The next morning, Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, and Huang Bo were all grinning from ear to ear during breakfast, and each of them ate two extra steamed buns.
Gu Qingshan was in a good mood. The midnight screening had a very high box office and the attendance rate exceeded his expectations.
After breakfast, they started putting on makeup. Next, they had to do various interviews and then go to the movie theater.
This time, the promotional strategy for "Lost in Thailand" is quite different from before, namely, it involves splitting the effort into two groups.
Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo, and others traveled together, while Gu Qingshan took Che Xiao along the way. From September 26th to October 5th, the end of the National Day holiday, they visited twenty cities in ten days.
In ten days, they visited and promoted all twenty of the top cities in the country.
This is also the most important box office market in the country.
This time, numerous copies of "Lost in Thailand" were distributed, covering all digital cinemas and filling all other cinemas that screened the film.
After the interview, Xu Zheng and his team had lunch and then set off for Tianjin.
After finishing their promotional activities in Beijing that evening, Gu Qingshan and Che Xiao took a late-night flight directly to Shanghai.
"Director Gu, how much will the box office be on the first day?" Che Xiao asked, her eyes filled with anticipation as she wore her flight attendant uniform.
The midnight screening of "Lost in Thailand" grossed 600 million yuan, which shocked Che Xiao.
600 million!
Many movies, after being released in theaters, fail to gross 600 million yuan at the box office even after a month.
Although she only made a cameo appearance this time, playing a flight attendant, she was stunning and left a deep impression.
"Let me see, it should be almost done by now!" Gu Qingshan picked up his laptop, opened it, and checked his email.
Sure enough, the first day's box office figures had already been sent to his email.
Including midnight screenings, the opening day box office reached 3000 million!
This data broke Gu Qingshan's personal record and also surpassed the opening day box office of "Red Cliff Part I"!
It's worth noting that "Red Cliff Part I" had a much higher number of screenings than "Lost in Thailand".
Gu Qingshan's face lit up with joy. The box office performance of "Lost in Thailand" was higher than he had expected, which was worth celebrating that night.
Gu Qingshan picked up Che Xiao and headed to the large bed, where the two of them would celebrate properly.
