Chapter 693 Gold Coins (Fourth update, please vote for me)

"Mr. Steven...Mr. Steven, good news...good news." Yu Wenhui rushed into Steven's office and shouted in surprise.

Steven frowned. He was in a very bad mental state now and didn't sleep all night last night.

This morning I saw a few more news articles criticizing myself.

Not only is he in a bad state now, but he is also in a bad mood.

"What's the matter?" Steven's tone was filled with anger.

"The score on Rotten Tomatoes has come up, and it's now 8.1."

"Ah? Why is it so high?" Steven asked in surprise.

It's impossible, the rating I estimate can only be around 6.0 at most.

I'm not shooting a literary film, so how could I get a score of 8.1?

Did Rotten Tomatoes make a mistake?

Or is Yu Wenhui talking nonsense?

Judging from yesterday's reputation, this score will only go straight down, not up.

"It's true. If you don't believe me, see for yourself."

Steven opened the Rotten Tomatoes website and clicked on his own movie page.

"Huh?"

8.2 points? It's higher than what Yu Wenhui said.

How is this going?

Is there anyone who gives me good reviews?

Steven scrolled down to comment, all of which were: "Director Steven, please accept my apology."

Steven continued to flip through the pages, and finally found a serious comment.

Then he clicked on this comment, and then he was dumbfounded.

Is this commenter thinking too much?

Do you have so many elements in your own movies?

Are there so many hidden lines, bright lines, and hidden plots?

Just then, Steven received a call from Rasfa.

"Steven, you are amazing, you are amazing, amazing, how did you do it?"

"What? Rasfa, what are you talking about?"

"I said your movie is so wonderful. It's really wonderful." Rasfa said excitedly: "I actually watched it six times, but I still didn't see enough. The hidden things in this movie are... There are too many, tell me, how many things are hidden in this?"

"Um...guess..."

"It's not interesting if you do this."

"It's even less interesting if I say it. If you want to know, just watch and think for yourself."

"Okay, okay, I'll keep watching." Rasfa said helplessly: "By the way, according to the data sent back from various theaters, as of 7 p.m., the box office on Saturday had reached 65 million US dollars in a single day. "

"Huh? So high? The whole day yesterday, including the early admissions, was just over 10 million US dollars, right? Today's box office as of 7 o'clock has reached 65 million US dollars? You're not lying to me, are you?"

"That's because people didn't understand it yesterday. I'll contact a few theater chains tomorrow to see if I can add some more theaters."

After hanging up the phone, Steven sat down on the chair.

His mind was completely empty.

How can it be?

Why did the reputation completely change overnight?

Why did a bad movie turn into a masterpiece overnight?

The box office has soared several times. Could it be that I accidentally filmed it and then edited it into it?

This is impossible, it would be possible if there were only one or two places.

But the entire movie is more than a hundred minutes long, how could I possibly arrange so much content?

At twelve o'clock on Saturday, Yu Wenhui rushed into Steven's office again.

"Mr. Steven, today's box office is out. The 24-hour box office is 86 million US dollars."

Steven felt suffocated, eighty-six million dollars! ?

Even if it is a super A-level production, the box office on Friday plus advance screenings will probably be around this level.

Of course, there are some movies that may break $100 million.

But "The Detective" is just a mid- to low-cost film, and it has actually reached the box office level of a super-A-level production.

On Sunday, the third day, the single-day box office exceeded 100 million, reaching 101 million US dollars.

The three-day weekend box office total reached $198.5 million.

The first weekend three-day box office ranked fifth in history.

The top four, without exception, are super A-level productions, with the shooting cost alone exceeding 200 million US dollars. The other promotions and promotions add up to a monster-level investment of 300 to 400 million US dollars.

But now, "Detective" has used 50 million US dollars to create his own miracle.

The direction of the media has also completely changed. The media that previously spoke ill of Steven changed their tune and began to praise Steven.

Steven has also gone through three days of excitement, and the box office for Monday's workday has been released.

Ninety-nine million dollars, a true world record.

First-day box office record, $99 million.

While "The Wild One" was a success both at the box office and in word-of-mouth, other films were in dire straits.

Who would have thought that "The Detective", which was supposed to be a blockbuster, would reveal its extremely sharp fangs without any warning.

Like a monster, it started rampaging at the box office.

It is completely inconsistent with the normal box office trend. Generally speaking, after entering the working day, the single-day box office of a movie will be halved.

But "The Naughty Detective" is completely unconventional.

Everyone seemed to have foreseen that a box office miracle was being born.

But at this moment, Steven suddenly calmed down.

While everyone outside was praising him, Steven was extremely calm.

He knew exactly what he had done.

He also doesn't think that his movie can really afford so much praise.

Steven had been playing with the gold coins in his hands.

This is the lucky gold coin given to him by Chen Zhao.

He has been thinking about this problem.

Everything seems to start from this gold coin.

Maybe I guessed wrong, or maybe this is just a wonderful coincidence?

"Mr. Steven, it's already very late..." Yu Wenhui knocked on Steven's office door.
