Chapter 550: Communication with Li Mei, "Detective Dee" has a box office of over 700 million!

It's quiet at night.

After a long night of tossing, Cao Jun was exhausted and lay on the bed ready to sleep.

At this time, Song Yi finished taking a bath, changed into red pajamas, and came out of the bathroom.

Song Yi dried her hair and asked suddenly as if remembering something: "Brother Jun, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been completed. When will "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" be filmed?"

Cao Jun thought for a while and replied: "If nothing else happens, it should be in the first half of next year."

Song Yi asked curiously: "Who do you want to play the role of Little Dragon Girl?"

Cao Jun smiled and asked: "Do you want to act?"

Song Yi smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I definitely want to, but I think if I act, I will probably be scolded to death by netizens."

"So, let's forget it, Xiao Longnu, I won't consider it..."

Cao Jun thought about it and said, "Xiao Yi, why don't you do "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?"

Hearing Cao Jun's words, Song Yi star was a little disappointed and asked in confusion: "Why? Can't I even play a supporting role?"

Cao Jun smiled and explained: "Of course not. If you are asked to play a supporting role, you must be using your talent to the fullest. I think you are very suitable for Zhou Zhiruo!"

Obviously, Cao Jun has already decided to let Song Yi play the role of Zhou Zhiruo in "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword".

In Cao Jun's view, although Song Yi is not a beauty, Song Yi has always given people a soft and frail look, which is very suitable for Zhou Zhiruo's character.

Song Yi wanted to play Zhao Min the most, but she also knew that she felt that her appearance and temperament made it difficult to play the role of Zhao Min well.

Now that Cao Jun has promised her to play Zhou Zhiruo, Song Yi is quite happy, at least she won't blame her for the "Condor Trilogy" produced by her company.

Two days later.

Evening, Dongshan Villa.

Cao Jun and Zeng Li invited Xu Zheng, Xiao Taohong and his wife to visit their home.

Xu Zheng and Xiao Tao Hong came here mainly to celebrate Cao Jun winning the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor, also known as the Golden Rooster Best Actor.

After drinking two glasses of wine, Xiao Taohong smiled and joked: "You won the Golden Rooster Best Actor at such a young age. From now on, our Chinese film industry will rely on you to carry the banner!"

Cao Jun said modestly: "Sister Taohong, please don't flatter me. Compared with you, I'm still far behind."

Cao Jun is telling the truth. As early as 1997, Xiao Taohong won the Best Actress Award at the 10th Damascus International Film Festival and the Best Actress Award at the 4th China Film Huabiao Awards for her starring role in the movie "Dark Eyes"

, Best Actress Award at the 18th China Film Golden Rooster Awards.

As for the three major TV awards: Golden Eagle Award, Magnolia Award, and Feitian Award, Xiao Taohong has already achieved Grand Slam. To put it bluntly, Xiao Taohong has won the most honors in the film and television circles in the mainland film and television circles.

Ceiling level.

Although Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi have developed better in the film industry than him, they have almost no honors in TV dramas. However, Xiao Taohong is both a movie and a TV drama. It can be said that each has its own merits.

As we continued talking like this, soon the three bottles of red wine were all empty.

Zeng Li and Xiao Taohong went to the living room to drink tea and chat about their daughter's family. Cao Jun and Xu Zheng continued drinking, talking about their careers.

By the way, Xu Zheng has been preparing for the movie "囧" during this period, and he is relatively close to many filmmakers from Hong Kong.

However, what makes Xu Zheng feel depressed is that Huang Baoqiang has decided not to star in "囧" after reading the script he wrote.

Huang Baoqiang resigned from the film "Embarrassed in Hong Kong". On the one hand, he felt that the script was not good, and on the other hand, it was also because Cao Jun would no longer direct the film.

Another very important reason is the schedule issue.

Huang Baoqiang's schedule in the past two years is basically full. Not only has he starred in "Destined" directed by Jia Zhangke, but he is also preparing to participate in "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" directed by Chen Kaige, and "One Man's Martial Arts" with Donnie Yen, etc.

Xu Zheng wanted to improve so much that he didn't want to wait any longer, so he asked Cao Jun: "Huang Baoqiang said he can't act, so tell me, can I find another actor to take his place?"

Cao Jun asked with great interest: "Who do you want to replace him? Who do you think can replace him?"

For a moment, Xu Zheng had no better candidate in his mind and shook his head helplessly: "I really haven't found one yet..."

As the saying goes, don't trust those who doubt it, but never trust those who employ it. Since Cao Jun has decided to hand over the "囧囧" series to Xu Zheng, he doesn't want to interfere too much and let him control it himself.

Cao Jun still trusts Xu Zheng's ability. If it weren't for him, Xu Zheng would have become a new generation of film and television tycoon.

Seeing Cao Jun's success in the film and television industry, Xu Zheng felt that it would be a lie to say he was not envious. Fortunately, he had no jealousy and always regarded Cao Jun as a good brother and good partner.

When the conversation was almost over, Xu Zheng and Xiao Tao said goodbye to Cao Jun and Zeng Li and left first.

After drinking, Cao Jun was in a high mood, so he took Zeng Li to talk in the living room.

…(Extra)…

October 22, 3 pm.

Directed by Tsui Hark and starring Cao Jun, the movie "Detective Dee: The Dragon King", which has been released for nearly a month, has officially exceeded the 700 million yuan mark, becoming the fourth domestic film this year to have a box office of more than 700 million yuan.

The first three are "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" with 1.32 billion, "Partners in China" with 730 million, and "To Our Perishable Youth" with 710 million.

If nothing else goes wrong, "Detective Dee: The Dragon King" will exceed the box office of 710 million before November, surpassing "To Our Fading Youth".

In order to celebrate this good result, the producer Fang Huayi brothers also held a grand celebration banquet in the capital.

Including Tsui Hark, Chen Guofu, Huang Zhonglei, Shi Nansheng, Cao Jun, Feng Shaofeng and others attended the celebration.

In an interview, Huang Zhonglei also revealed on the spot that "Detective Dee" will definitely make a sequel and it will be made into a "Chinese 007" series of films.

Feng Shaofeng laughed and said that he was surprised that Tsui Hark cast him as a movie star.

Huang Zhonglei gave Feng Shaofeng a "real gold Yuchi" 3D doll for his birthday, praising him for becoming more and more like plasticine in terms of performance and being able to be shaped into various images.

However, the protagonist of the night was undoubtedly the male protagonist of "Detective Dee: The Dragon King" - Cao Jun.

Because since this year, the three movies starring Cao Jun have all achieved excellent box office results.

If the total box office of "Detective Dee: The Dragon King" can surpass "To Our Dying Youth", the three movies starring Cao Jun will monopolize the first, second and third place in the domestic movie box office rankings in 2013.

What kind of terrifying dominance is this? It can really be said that there is no one else! Cao Jun can really be said to be the most influential star in the mainland film industry with the most box office appeal.
