How can a director be a gigolo?

Chapter 102 What the hell!

GM was equally excited, as sales of its various luxury brands had seen a significant increase since the release of "My Love from the Star" yesterday!

Everyone got what they wanted and they were all happy!

The box office results shocked the entire entertainment industry.

Because many of the celebrities who appeared on the passenger ship in the movie went back and, as promised, gave "My Love from the Star" a thumbs-down on social media.

Even Qi Zhen kept her word, as did Bai Qiuqi, Jin Ningxin, Sun Xuyang, Lin Baoquan, and others, all of whom had already called on their fans to watch "My Love from the Star".

They also saw that "My Love from the Star" was of quite good quality.

But the box office of 50 million in one day still stunned everyone.

The only one who didn't give Wang Xiaohao a "GG" was probably Wang Manli!

It wasn't that she didn't want to befriend Wang Xiaohao, but rather that Wang Manli's movie was going to be released in two days.

She invested it herself!

At this point, wouldn't giving Wang Xiaohao a death sentence be aiding the enemy?

So Wang Manli was in a real dilemma!

Now that the box office results for "My Love from the Star" on its first day are out, Wang Manli is both shocked and regretful.

I regret missing the great opportunity to build a relationship with Wang Xiaohao.

What's shocking is how amazing "My Love from the Star" is!

An ominous feeling arose in her heart: her "Contractual Love" might be in trouble.

Because her movie is also released during this May Day holiday!

Wang Manli was set up!

She deliberately placed her dramas "Contract Love" and "My Love from the Star" in the same time slot.

Someone is teaching her a lesson: don't think that just because you're an international star, it's that easy to make movies and become a boss!

The theater chains and those film companies can do whatever they want to you!

These theater chains and film companies are all incredibly shrewd. What is the quality of "My Love from the Star," and what is its hype?

What is the quality of "Contractual Love"?

Everyone knows that putting these two similar films together will make Wang Manli a cannon fodder!

It was a pity that Wang Manli only regained some consciousness at this point!

Then the next day, the box office of "My Love from the Star" directly reached 80 million.

Everyone was so shocked they were speechless!

"Is this movie really that good? Why are so many people watching it?"

That's what people who haven't seen it think.

Even Jin Ningxin, who had watched it, looked conflicted. She asked Lü Xuan, "Although 'My Love from the Star' is quite good!"

But since it's not a big production and doesn't have any special effects, it's just a drama film, so how come the box office is so high?

Is there something I didn't understand?

Jin Ningxin is not the only one who doubts the meaning of life.

In this era, generally speaking, for a film to be a box office hit, it needs to be a blockbuster, a big production, and a visual spectacle with special effects to draw people into the theater.

However, although Wang Xiaohao's "My Love from the Star" is good, it doesn't follow this pattern at all!

What the hell!

As a result, quite a few people, like Jin Ningxin, went back to see it a second time!

Then came the third day, and on that day, "My Love from the Star" broke the 100 million yuan mark at the box office. This broke the world record for the highest single-day box office gross for a domestic film, reaching over 120 million yuan!

At this point, after three days of release, the film's box office has exceeded 200 million, reaching 260 million.

Thus, the so-called movie-watching frenzy was ignited!

Many people who don't watch movies regularly are curious about why this film's box office is so high, and they flock to see it.

This allowed the film to maintain a box office of over 100 million for three consecutive days.

It wasn't until three days later, on the sixth day of the film's release, that the box office revenue dropped from 100 million to just over 90 million.

Two more days later, after seven days, the film's total box office reached 760 million.

Box office predictions suggest the film may ultimately reach around 1.5 billion.

It will become the second highest-grossing film in China.

The number one film is a foreign sci-fi blockbuster that was released two years ago and grossed over 1.8 billion yuan.

That sci-fi blockbuster cost over two hundred million US dollars to produce.

How much did Wang Xiaohao's "My Love from the Star" cost?

Five companies invested a total of 50 million!

This also includes marketing and distribution costs.

According to the original contract, each company was required to contribute ten million in investment funds and also allocate corresponding resources.

However, regardless of whether it counts as marketing or not, this 50 million investment is negligible compared to the box office.

If this movie really does gross 1.5 billion, then the production company will probably get more than 600 million.

Each one can earn more than 100 million!

At GM's headquarters, they sent emails praising Zhao Yuanyuan for leading the project.

They believed Zhao Yuanyuan's brilliant decision brought huge profits to the company!

A little over 100 million domestic dollars, which is about 10 million euros, is not something that GM Company takes seriously.

However, this sponsorship activity not only didn't cost any money, but actually made a profit.

That's impressive enough!

Moreover, the results of this sponsorship activity were exceptionally good.

Seven days after the release of "My Love from the Star", sales of major luxury brands under GM Corporation have increased significantly.

In particular, the handbags and women's shoes that Zhen Liang promoted in the movie saw a huge increase in sales.

Of course, Wang Xiaohao's milk tea also received tremendous exposure.

Since the male lead, Wu Yu, not only appeared holding a snow tea milk tea in his first appearance, but this snow tea milk tea also appeared frequently afterward, it almost became a token of their love.

The scene of the two embracing and drinking milk tea in the snow was captured beautifully by Wang Xiaohao, almost like a scene from a gay porn film.

This almost caused Wang Xiaohao's milk tea shop in Beijing to be completely overwhelmed with customers.

Then, the same milk tea, which was also sold online at the same time, sold out quickly.

In just a few days, more than 100,000 cups were sold.

They've almost cleared out all the inventory they produced, so the factory has had to work overtime to keep production going!

At that time, Wang Xiaohao asked the factory to produce more and store it.

In the end, Wang Zhiming wasn't bold enough and only produced 300,000 cups, which were almost half sold out in about a week.

All of these are shipped online, with virtually no inventory being stockpiled through offline channels.

It's clear that this sales volume is quite staggering!

At the same time, some savvy people noticed that Xuecha Company had offline milk tea shops, realized something, and began to approach Xuecha Company seeking franchise opportunities.

This delighted Wang Xiaohao, who then took the opportunity to have the company officially launch its franchise business.

However, when the time came, Wang Xiaohao realized that his preparations were still insufficient.
