This led to the bizarre scene where all the movie tickets for "lost in thailand" were sold out on that day.
After all, many netizens also wanted to go see the movie and then follow the trend to show off their ticket stubs.
It was only 20 chinese yuan, and they could afford it.
The result was that too many people had the same idea as them!
This directly made movie tickets for "lost in thailand" incredibly hard to come by.
At this time, Hao Ren and the other main creators, who had just finished the premiere, were closely monitoring the online news and box office situation.
They had not expected that Su Yu's Tribe comment section would become the main battlefield for the internet trolls.
At first, after seeing the positive reviews from the first batch of audience members, the main creators were incredibly excited, feeling that the box office for this time was secure.
But when a large number of internet trolls appeared, setting the pace and dominating Su Yu's comment section, their hearts sank directly to the bottom.
Just as Hao Ren was like an ant on a hot pan, about to call the company's senior management for emergency public relations, the direction of the internet surprisingly took a 180-degree turn!
Andy Lau and the queens of pop all jumped in, not to mention, they also started a wave of showing off ticket stubs.
"Director Hao, did Teacher Su Yu make a move?" Xu Lang asked cautiously.
All three of them had put a great deal of effort into this film and hoped to use it to boost their own box office appeal.
Naturally, they did not want it to be ruined by their rivals.
And in the eyes of Xu Lang and others, the only person who could pull off such a large-scale counterattack in a short period was Su Yu, the screenwriter who had not shown his face.
What did Hao Ren know! At this moment, he was also very confused.
Su Yu did not like him; Hao Ren himself had noticed that.
After the last incident, he dared not proactively contact Su Yu again.
So he could only call Ren Nanbei, the Film and Television Department director, to inquire.
Ren Nanbei was also confused at this time, because he had seen what was happening online, but he, the Film and Television Department director, was completely unaware!
This made Ren Nanbei feel that his sense of presence was truly too low.
As for Su Yu's energy, Ren Nanbei could only express admiration!
If the company's public relations team were to get involved in this matter, not to mention how much money it would cost, the outcome of the public relations alone would certainly not be better than it is now.
He had already received news that all the movie tickets for "lost in thailand" in major cinemas today had already sold out.
The box office on the first day of release was even more stable than stable! After that, the screening schedule for "lost in thailand" would inevitably rise!
Recouping the cost is not a problem at all; what needs to be concerned about now is what kind of box office performance this movie can ultimately achieve.
This also means that Su Yu's first film as a screenwriter has been successful.
At this time, Su Yu, who was on the set, also saw the news online during his break.
Even Su Yu hadn't expected Andy Lau and the others to be so proactive in helping with the promotion, let alone Hao Ren and Ren Nanbei.
It wasn't until this moment that Su Yu suddenly remembered that he had promised Andy Lau a new album, but it seemed he hadn't even prepared it yet!
What a sin, what a sin! If Andy Lau knew about this, would he come over and strangle him?
And Deng Yue and Tong Xiaocheng on the set naturally also knew about the various news regarding "lost in thailand" online.
While marveling at Su Yu's immense ability, they also had more confidence in the future of their own play!
Su Yu didn't even appear at the premiere of "lost in thailand," yet it achieved such promotional results; what about their "chinese partners"?
As the director and screenwriter, is it possible for Su Yu not to attend?
With huge exposure and support from popularity at that time, the movie would surely be a massive hit!
Compared to their full confidence, Huang Da'an, who had just left the premiere, felt a chill in his heart.
Because the screening rate for their "Tianlang" was already not high, and then there was the drama of many big names stepping in to support "lost in thailand."
Even he could guess what the result would be later; once the three-day screening rate guarantee period passed, besides "lost in thailand," the screening rates of other films released concurrently would all decline.
Of course, unless his film could break through!
But it seemed a bit uncertain, because after their premiere, there was almost no discussion about "Tianlang" online.
All the buzz was stolen by Su Yu's "lost in thailand."
Moreover, "Tianlang"'s current rating of 5.1 is a bit unbearable! Huang Da'an felt like he had no face to return to the set.
The time came to midnight on the 24th, and the first-day box office results for the more than ten films released concurrently were also hotly released.
Without any surprise, "lost in thailand" led the single-day box office chart with a box office of 72.89 million.
And Huang Da'an's "Tianlang" only got 18.21 million at the box office on its first day, ranking 9th among all movies released today.
The next day, when Su Yu arrived at the set, the most common sound he heard was naturally congratulations.
However, these congratulations were naturally behind Huang Da'an's back, because it was well known that the power of the 'bright lamp' had once again exploded.
The film that Huang Da'an favored, this time, 99% failed again.
But to everyone's surprise, Huang Da'an seemed unaffected, and the entire day's filming had almost no hiccups.
Is this "learning from shame and then being brave"? Deng Yue and the others thought unkindly.
On the 24th, the second day of "lost in thailand"'s release, the box office decreased, only getting 68.01 million.
Everyone can understand this; it's Monday, so a low box office is normal.
However, this result still firmly held the top spot on the single-day box office chart.
Huang Da'an's "Tianlang" only had a pitiful 12 million plus at the box office today.
Such a big drop also made Huang Da'an gloomy all day on the second day.
No way, with a total investment of 15 million US dollars, the box office needs to reach 45 million US dollars to break even!
According to this result, by the time the movie ends its run, it's estimated that even 100 million chinese yuan will be difficult, let alone breaking even?
And then look at Su Yu's "lost in thailand"; the publicly announced investment from Tianxing is 45 million chinese yuan, and it broke even directly after only two days of release!
All subsequent box office revenue is profit!
How could Huang Da'an, who invested over 30 million chinese yuan in "Tianlang," possibly maintain a normal state of mind?
Fortunately, Su Yu announced the decision to take a holiday on the 27th; he felt that he really needed to go homecoming and calm down properly.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be in the right state for filming.
On the 25th, the "chinese partners" crew welcomed a big star for a set visit.
And this person was none other than our Andy Lau, Liu Furong.
Su Yu, who was engrossed in filming, was also startled by Andy Lau's arrival, because he hadn't told Andy Lau that he was filming at all.
And looking at Andy Lau's smiling expression, Su Yu guessed that he was probably here to collect a debt!
Fortunately, two days ago, he suddenly remembered this matter, and these past few nights after going homecoming, Su Yu had been diligently selecting songs for Andy Lau's new album.
This way, he wouldn't be caught off guard by Andy Lau's sudden set visit!
Watching Su Yu warmly embrace Andy Lau, Huang Da'an, Deng Yue, and Tong Xiaocheng were all incredibly envious.
After all, who didn't have Liu Furong in their childhood idol list?
