Chapter 1744 Pre-sale Box Office

"Boss, I have to take leave today, and tomorrow too..." Portia looked at Chen Zhao cautiously.

"Okay." Chen Zhao readily approved a holiday for Portia.

"Boss, why don't you ask me why I asked for leave?" Portia asked.

"I don't interfere in your personal life." Chen Zhao said matter-of-factly: "But I think you should deal with your emotional problems as soon as possible."

Portia's face turned dark. It turned out that her boss thought that there was something wrong with her personal relationship.

But think about it, I was very drunk that day.

Probably because I was drunk that day.

Let him think that there is something wrong with his personal relationship.

Of course, Portia didn't intend to explain.

This is good, lest Chen Zhao know that she is taking leave to work part-time to earn extra money. I wonder if Chen Zhao will fill her in.

At this moment, Chen Zhao received a call from Steven.

"Hey, Steven, what's up?"

"Chen, our movie is about to be released, and tomorrow is the premiere." Steven said.

"Well, then I'll go over and discuss the details with you."

In fact, Chen Zhao gave away lucky gold coins in the past.

"Portia, are you in a hurry? If not, just drive me."

"Boss, there are so many cars at home..."

"Suddenly too lazy to drive." Chen Zhao said matter-of-factly.

"It's so sudden... What will you do when you come back?"

"Find someone to take me back."

"Okay, where to go?"

…

Portia sent Chen Zhao to Steven's door.

Originally, Portia thought that the friend Chen Zhao was going to visit was some wealthy man.

But when I saw the door of Steven's house, I realized that it was an ordinary villa.

To be honest, Steven's home does seem too ordinary.

Of course, Steven is also looking for a suitable place to build a new home recently, planning to be like Chen Zhao.

The main reason is that the Mirror Lake and Mingyue Coast chosen by Chen Zhao are really outstanding.

"Boss, I'm leaving."

"Yeah." Chen Zhao waved his hand after getting out of the car.

There are only two maids in Steven's family, both of whom are elderly.

After seeing Chen Zhao coming, he put Chen Zhao in.

"Steven." Chen Zhao saw Steven lying next to the swimming pool and enjoying the sun.

It's late September now, and the temperatures in Los Angeles have dropped a bit.

Plus it was morning and sunbathing wasn't a good idea.

"Didn't you go to the studio today?" Chen Zhao sat on the chair next to him.

"I bought a piece of land on the Taiping Mountain side and plan to build a villa there." Steven said indifferently.

"How's the movie going?" Chen Zhao also answered the question in an inappropriate way.

"It premieres tomorrow, and the current ticket sales in advance are not very satisfactory."

Chen Zhao took out the lucky gold coin and handed it to Steven: "You know how to use it."

"Can it be used now?"

"Well, that's okay."

Steven pricked his finger with a knife and dripped blood on the lucky gold coin.

"Is it as good as last time?"

"It won't be worse than last time. In fact, the effect of the lucky gold coin is to do things that can be done. Your ability, fame, and influence all determine the effect of the lucky gold coin, and your ability, fame, and influence Compared with the previous movie, there is already a huge difference, so the effect will only be better, not worse."

Steven kissed the lucky gold coin: "Just wait for the money."

"By the way, Steven, in the past two years, save more money and keep it in the bank if you have cash." Chen Zhao said.

"What are you doing?" Steven turned to look at Chen Zhao.

"I have a super big project."

"Super big project? How big is it?"

"If I invest alone, I will mortgage all my property to the bank."

Steven took a breath: "Can you make money?"

"I think it should be fine." Chen Zhao said.

Steven won't ask stupid questions like why he should share it with others if he can make money.

Their relationship didn't require such questions.

Of course, Steven would not make a decision just because of Chen Zhao's casual words.

Even though they are very close, the investment Chen Zhao wants is at least half of Steven's net worth.

No one will make up their minds based on a vague statement.

Of course, Chen Zhao just asked him to save money.

Although keeping cash in a bank account does lead to some losses.

But this loss is completely within the range that Steven can bear.

The relationship between Chen Zhao and him was enough for Steven to trust Chen Zhao and temporarily store the money in the bank account.

"In what specific area are you investing?"

"It should be considered tourism."

"When does it begin?"

"It will start before the end of next year at the latest. It is not convenient for me to reveal too much now."

"Yeah." Steven nodded: "By the way, are you really not going to attend the premiere?"

"You know I hate situations like that."

"Okay." Steven didn't force it.

Moreover, Chen Zhao is not an entertainment star to begin with.

There’s no point in attending the premiere either.

"But Gaia seems to be very busy. I asked her about the accompanying promotion, and she said she couldn't spare time in the near future." Steven said.

"She's definitely a little busy."

Gaia is one of the main creators of the crew. She plays the role of Anti-Number Three and is also the action director.

According to the contract, Gaia needs to follow the crew for promotion.

However, Chen Zhao, Steven and Rasfa are the producers, and Gaia is its own people.

No one will embarrass Gaia with a contract.

"At least come to the premiere tomorrow," Steven said.

"Okay then, I'll just let her attend the premiere tomorrow." Chen Zhao said helplessly.

Just then, Steven's phone rang.

"Hey, Rasfa, what's going on?"

"Steven, our movie's premiere pre-sales have broken records." Rasfa shouted excitedly.

"What? Broken the record? How is it possible?" Steven sat up suddenly: "Isn't our previous pre-sale only five million US dollars?"

"I just consulted the pre-sale channel, and they said that our pre-sales have always been very high, but there was a system error, so the display on the platform website was very low. It only showed the first two days of the pre-sale. The actual situation is that we The pre-sale box office has exceeded $50 million."

Rasfa could not hide his excitement as the pre-sales broke the record.

This is already a harbinger of box office success for the movie.

Even if this movie is entertainment for the three of them.

But who doesn’t want the movie to be successful?

The criterion for a movie's success is proof of its commercial box office.

Steven took a breath: "Has our pre-sale box office really reached 50 million US dollars?"

"Yeah, I can hardly imagine it either."
