Chapter 1649: 1649

On the same day .

The box office earnings were tabulated .

Hollywood was silenced .

The global film industry was silenced .

Wolf Warrior 2’s third-day domestic box office earnings: CN¥197 million .

Meanwhile, Commando 2, which Hollywood had high hopes for, only scored a box office earnings of 81 million RMB for the day after allowing for conversion . Previously, Commando 2 was still close behind Wolf Warrior 2 and could have surpassed it at any moment . However, it was finally showing signs of fatigue .

On the Web .

“This is too scary!”

“The gap has been widened!”

“Commando 2 has been affected by the Chinese movie!”

“Zhang Ye’s movie is too fearsome . It’s dragged down the global box office earnings of Commando 2!”

“Wilson has no way of catching up!”

“Yeah, the outcome has been decided . ”

“These box office earnings are so scary . And it’s even Monday!”

“Very few movies can achieve such box office earnings during the workweek!”

“Do the Chinese not need to work?”

“Hollywood has really lost this time . ”

“The only thing to look forward to now is how much Wolf Warrior 2’s final box office earnings will be . ”

…

There was something unique about the Chinese: They were busybodies .

There was still another unique point about the Chinese: They loved being spectators when drama unfolded .

Now that Zhang Ye and Wolf Warrior 2 had been deified by the masses, the enthusiasm of the Chinese for watching the movie was bursting through the roof . When people were out and having conversations with one another, there was almost a necessity to bring up the topic of Wolf Warrior 2 . Such a phenomenal level of discussion had never happened before . In the span of a night, it was as though there was no differentiation between men and women, old and young, or even the rich and poor anymore .

There were only two kinds of people now .

Those who had watched Wolf Warrior 2 .

And those who hadn’t .

…

At a company .

“Come on, let’s not work overtime today . ”

“Ah?”

“The boss has booked a theater and invited everyone to watch Wolf Warrior 2!”

“Wow!”

“Long live the boss!”

“This is great!”

…

In a neighborhood .

“Old Man Li, have you watched Wolf Warrior 2 yet?”

“Not yet . ”

“Whoa, why are you so out of date? You haven’t even watched it yet?”

“You’ve watched it already?”

“My son brought me to watch it . I thought it was especially good . ”

“Wow, then I should get my daughter to book a ticket for me too . ”

…

In a school .

“Hurry, hurry, it’s time to go!”

“Have you bought the tickets already?”

“I’ve bought them long ago . Let’s go and watch it together!”

“Haha, let’s go!”

“I’ve already watched it three times! But I still want to watch it again!”

“I’ve already watched it four times, but I still want to do my part to help Zhang Ye take on Hollywood!”

…

In the neighborhood where Tang Dazhang, the crosstalk actor, lived .

Tang Dazhang was currently taking a stroll in the neighborhood .

“Yo, Old Tang . ”

“Auntie Zhao, you’re walking the dog?”

“That’s right . Ai, have you watched Wolf Warrior 2 yet?”

“I don’t watch Zhang Ye’s movies . ”

“Heh, why didn’t you watch it? It’s really very good . ”

“I’m not gonna watch it . ”

“Go and watch . You aren’t Chinese if you don’t watch it!”

Tang Dazhang nearly vomited blood . What do you mean by I’m not Chinese! Don’t you all know that I’m at loggerheads with Zhang Ye? Why would I watch his movies!

But in the end, Tang Dazhang still went to watch it . He put on his sunglasses and a face mask and sneaked into the theater . He was just very curious about why Zhang Ye’s movie was able to bring everyone together in China . What right did Zhang Ye have to challenge Hollywood? This was something that no one in the Chinese film industry had ever managed to succeed at in many years!

…

At Song Qi’s studio .

In these past few days, the atmosphere in the studio had been changing by the day . In the beginning, everyone was waiting for Zhang Ye to make a fool of himself . Later on, they started hoping that Wolf Warrior 2 would fail at the box office . However, with how everything had developed to this point, they were powerless . They were all stunned by Zhang Ye’s new movie .

“They’ve broken the record again!”

“If only we had known, we wouldn’t have asked for a raise back then!”

“A movie that will enter the annals of history like this one, we would have acted in it even without pay! If only we had taken this role, Little Song would’ve had a lot more development potential!”

Song Qi was regretting his choice now!

His agent was also extremely regretful!

They had now become the butt of the joke of the Chinese film industry!

Song Qi had posted an advertisement on his Weibo to promote his new movie today . However, countless people left a lot of comments replying to that post calling out Song Qi . It was revealed he had gone back on his word and backstabbed Wolf Warrior 2 during its production phase .

Comments:

“Get out of the entertainment circle!”

“How can there be anyone as petty as you!”

“Song Qi, go to hell!”

“Because of you, Wolf Warrior 2 nearly didn’t make it out of production!”

“Changing your compensation terms at the last minute? Why don’t you just die instead!”

Song Qi’s reputation stunk up the entire street .

…

One day .

Two days .

Three days .

Wolf Warrior 2’s box office earnings continued to soar .

The speed at which the box office earnings was rising was totally unprecedented .

800 million!

900 million!

1 billion!

1 . 1 billion!

In only a short period of five days, Wolf Warrior 2’s gross box office earnings had already surpassed 1 . 2 billion RMB . At this point, it also completely broke the Chinese film industry’s highest-grossing box office earnings and successfully took first place in the Chinese box office rankings . Moreover, this record would still be rewritten over the upcoming days . There were almost no signs of this coming to a stop .

…

On this day .

A celebratory feast was held .

Zhang Ye booked a banquet hall and arrived early at the venue to make sure the arrangements and the place were set up properly . He even stood at the door to personally welcome the guests .

An endless stream of friends walked in .

Yao Jiancai was laughing out loud from afar . “Haha, Zhang’er!

Zhang Ye opened his arms and embraced him . “You’ve worked hard, Old Yao . ”

“I just went to a few more interviews . How is that hard work?” Yao Jiancai said with a smile .

“Zhang’er, I’m here . ” Dong Shanshan appeared in a spectacular getup .

Zhang Ye was wowed . “Whoa, you’re so beautiful today?”

Dong Shanshan smiled gleefully and said, “Of course, the celebratory feast this time is held in honor of us winning against Hollywood, so I definitely had to dress up more presentably . ”

Behind her, another few honored guests arrived .

—The richest man in China and his wife .

Zhang Ye smiled and said, “Boss Qian, we owe it to you for the movie’s distribution this time . ”

Qian Haitao grabbed hold of his hand and said, “It was all down to your movie being good . Moreover, I should be the one saying thank you instead . You’ve really done our Chinese movies proud this time!”

Zhang Ye smiled . “It’s because everyone is supportive . ”

Mrs . Qian added, “Teacher Zhang, I’ll be depending on you to watch out for my son in the future . He’s still young and has been spoiled by us all this time . He hasn’t achieved anything to be proud of, but after working with you on your movie, I’ve seen a great change in him . Moreover, he really respects you too, so please guide him well in the future . ”

Zhang Ye hurriedly said . “Ma’am, you’re too generous . ”

Boss Qian Jr . also walked up from behind . He had heard what they said and couldn’t help but laugh and say, “Mom, Teacher Zhang is even more vicious at scolding others than I am . He has also scolded more people than I did, so are you sure you want me to learn from him?”

Mrs . Qian slapped him upside the head . “Oh, you!”

Jacques and the other American actors were here as well .

Jacques smiled and said, “Zhang, congratulations, you’ve become the number one director in China . ”

Zhang Ye said happily, “Oh, come one, there are a lot more directors who are better than me . As for you, have you seen the news lately? You’re even more popular in China than a Hollywood A-lister is!”

Jacques said emotionally, “That’s all due to you . ”

Zhang Ye ushered them in . “Come in . Let’s catch up over drinks later . ”

Very quickly, the guests had all arrived .

Zhang Ye stood on the stage . He picked up the microphone and said, “Everyone is here now . There are no reporters today and no outsiders either . The only people who are present are the actors, crew, and distributor of Wolf Warrior 2 . First, let me thank everyone here for their support, which has allowed Wolf Warrior 2 to achieve the results that it has . Today’s celebratory feast isn’t held for me but in honor of all of you . Let me raise a toast to every one of you . I also hope that our Chinese film industry will get better and for China to get stronger!”

“Nice!”

“Well said!”

“Hahaha, cheers!”

Celebrations!

Cheers!

The atmosphere at the celebratory feast was extremely warm!

Zhang Ye was on fire!

Sophia was on fire!

Yao Jiancai was on fire!

Jacques was on fire!

The Chinese film industry was on fire!

This was a celebration of the people!

And an unprecedented celebration for Chinese movies!
