Chapter 1238

Currently, "Dream Chaser" had only been in theatres for half its planned release period and the total box office had already surpassed $ 1 . 8 billion, thus no one dared to simply predict how the trend of their box office would continue to fare .

Usually, a movie's release period would depend on the box office . If its performance was too dismal, then it would basically be considered a "Three-Day Run" . There was even quite a number that had been taken down after one day of release .

One such example was Ning Xueluo's most recently released and completely unknown art house film, "Mountain" . Forget about the pitiful box office performance, even its reputation was bad . Initially, they were prepared to hang on for half a month before they stopped playing it, yet even after doing it for the sake of Starlight Entertainment, it could only last for three days .

Many cinemas were allocating as many screenings as they could for "Dream Chaser" . How could they bear to waste their allocations on a movie without as great a turnover rate? Big shots were useless now, and it was best to let the ticket sales speak for themselves .

With "Dream Chaser"'s level of popularity, they would probably last for another month .

In the earlier stages, "Dream Chaser" had managed to draw sales with the quality of the movie as well as the fantastic performances by the actors . Later on, Director Chen Mian's strength had also started to accumulate and work its magic .

That year, Chen Mian's debut work, "The Stars, The Moon and The Sun" had become popular all over the country and was even dubbed "Asia's star" by America's Business Weekly . The movie leads had also burst into popularity . Now, they were all experienced big shots in the industry .

His youth-themed movie called "Love Is In The Future" had also been the champion of the box office back then, paving the way for a bunch of other coming-of-age movies and trends .

It was exactly because Chen Mian had started with a bang that the audiences had very high expectations and anticipations of him . This was also why several of his works after, which compromised with the investors and the commercial market, had invited much criticism .

The media had always praised the winners and stepped on the losers . This time, after Chen Mian had returned to glory, almost all of the print and online media were hailing Chen Mian all over, stating that they "owed Chen Mian a movie ticket" . All of the industry big shots that Chen Mian had made popular previously had also promoted the movie themselves . The huge crowd of Chen Mian's old fans dating back all the way to ten years ago had all entered the cinema for him .

Even though Zheng Kangde's team was on their toes, they could do nothing but watch .

The trend was strong and there was no reversing .

One month later, "Dream Chaser"'s total box office numbers were out . It had raked in $ 3 . 275 billion!

It had broken "Joyful Occasion"'s $ 2 . 48 billion record in the box office and steadfastly took the champion seat for highest box office sales in the history of the local cinema . It was practically a miracle in the history of Chinese cinema!

In the movie, all of the leads and co-leads had all become famous, especially the female lead, Ning Xi and the male lead, Chen Hanchen . They had gained fame overnight and were suddenly leveled with the A-list actors now .

Ning Xi's movie contracts, ambassadorship, and variety shows . . . all of it had insanely swarmed onto Ling Zhizhi . . .

The gaming company that Ning Xi and Jiang Muye had both been spokespeople for was overjoyed at this point . Before this, they had hired Ning Xi for five years for only a million dollars, so now they had really earned big!

Of course, some were happy while some were worried .

At Starlight Entertainment, Chang Li had come to the office as always, but she was greeted by peculiar gazes and whispers from all her colleagues .

"Have you guys heard that Ning Xi's movie's box office surpassed $ 3 billion? They are the Chinese language movie box office champion! They've broken more than 20 records!"

"Pfft, duh! Of course, I heard of the huge news . I've already seen people post about it in groups early in the morning . Everyone's saying . . . this time Chang Li's probably going to regret it a lot!"

"Pfft . . . obviously! Back then, Ning Xueluo had harshly chased Ning Xi away . . . Hah, now Ning Xi has gone over to Glory World and instantly exploded in popularity . . . "
