442 The Rising Jay Chou and the awkward "Seven Swords"(1/2)
After the introduction of Wang Jinhua, Cao Xuan did not target Chengtian openly. After all, he was already disabled. If he had to force others to the dead, he would seem too cruel.
Although Boss Cao has always been so cruel, Chengtian has already lay flat.
Boss Wu cut off several projects, holding funds in his hand, obviously avoiding the limelight and not fighting with Fanxing. If Cao Xuan wants to cause heavy damage, he has to poach Chen Hao.
Although it is very pleasant for the heartthrob, it is too immoral.
The young and dandy also emphasize that one thing is not as bad as his wife and children. Previously, it was Fanxing who suppressed the entire Hongtian by Fantian. As the "Orange Heaven No. 1 Sister", Chen Hao naturally could not escape the blow, which is reasonable.
But if Cao Xuan attacked Chen Hao privately and played with the style of a great official, his reputation would be really bad.
Suppress other people's companies, poach other people's generals, and sleep with other women...
Although Cao Xuan's surname is Cao, he still learned less about this "heroic method" of his ancestors. After all, the bodyguard around Cao Xuan was Zhu Jiang, not Dian Wei.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that this matter is over now. Boss Cao still holds a grudge. Unless Boss Wu quit the domestic film and television industry, everyone will have the opportunity to continue playing in the future.
Boss Cao let go of his "generous" and Huayi's Wang brothers did come to Chengtianmao.
There is no way. After this incident, whether they agree with or not, Cao Xuan's actions, at least there is a consensus, that is, Fanxing is not easy to mess with, and there is another consensus, that Huayi is an unlucky guy.
If the Wang brothers don’t want to add another title of [Crazy and useless], they have to act like Fanxing to the outside world.
Therefore, the Wang brothers not only publicly criticized Chengtian and other core senior executives and artists, but also contacted many tabloids to discredit Boss Wu and others, and collected some relevant evidence to sue Chengtian in court. If they won or not, they would not let Chengtian have a good time anyway.
Of course, Boss Wu is not easy to mess with either.
He was hammered by Cao Xuan because his assets, connections, energy, and status were completely suppressed by Cao Xuan.
But when he faced Huayi, Boss Wu was still very calm. If he didn't have enough capital, he wouldn't dare to hollow out Huayi in one go. Although he was severely injured by Cao Xuan, he wouldn't have any counterattack power.
So, the two families fought openly and secretly, but Cao Xuan and Fanxing couldn't control them.
In addition to paying attention occasionally and giving Huayi a helping hand, more attention has been shifted to the upcoming summer season.
On June 19, Jay Chou's debut film "Initial D" was released in 10 days in the summer.
This movie, adapted from a well-known Japanese comic, brings together actors such as Jay Chou, Mr. Chen, Chen Xiaochun, and Shawn Yue.
Although many people are very popular among young audiences, the lineup is not outstanding in the film industry. The main publicity highlight is Xiao Zhou. Who made him the second most popular king?
The outside world also pays great attention to this movie, in addition to the popularity of Xiao Zhou and others.
More importantly, Cao Xuan switched from the music industry to film and television, and is now one of the hottest movie actors.
Xiao Zhou's current model is very similar to Cao Xuan's back then. He was born in grassroots, became famous at a young age, and had amazing creative talent. After becoming popular in Asia, he became a singer and performed well, and he was absolutely responsible for the big screen for the first time.
There are actually media errors here. Cao Xuan’s first movie was the "Matrix" series, not "When a Man in Love".
Xiao Zhou has also played several movies in Hong Kong and Taiwan before, but "Initial D" is his first national theater movie to play the male lead, so it is actually understandable that marketing the so-called [debut].
When Cao Xuan's "When Men Are in Love" was released, he also focused on the first starring debut movie. Although the word "starring" was added, he was actually still a gimmick of [debut].
Whether it is to praise Zhou or derogate Zhou, the outside media have always liked to compare him with Cao Xuan. The reason is very simple, the sales volume is high.
The quality of "Initial D" is not bad, and it can even be said to be one of the few excellent racing films and TV works in China.
Before Han Han, who was fighting the racing theme, debuted, many people mentioned racing movies, and the first thing they thought of was this "Initial D", the Akima Mountain Racing God/Her old driver's meme in it, which is still popular for more than ten years later.
This movie is also one of Xiao Zhou's best film and television works, and many people even think it is the best.
Objectively speaking, Jay Chou’s acting skills are not outstanding, and it is a bit of apt to be evaluated by the average standard. His talent in acting is even worse than basketball.
But the reason why "Initial D" praises a lot is because the Fujiwara Takumi's setting is very consistent with him. He is restrained and dull and a little bit of ambiguous, but he also has a bit of unyielding passion and a middle-aged man.
In other words, the characters who have better rated Jay Chou basically cannot do without this range.
The words are even more ugly. Xiao Zhou plays the same role. If it matches the plot, it will be outstanding. If it doesn't match it, it will be more out of the play.
This is not a bad guy. For example, the second prince in "The Golden Armor in the City". In terms of scenes and settings, it is easy to be outstanding after acting well, but it turns out that the third prince who was beaten to death by the old emperor with his belt is not yet impressed by the third prince.
That is, Lao Taozi, who is good at training amateur actors, barely allowed Xiao Zhou to complete his task. If he changes to a director with a poor ability, the movie may collapse.
Actor popularity + movie quality + comic IP. Although the latter has a smaller impact, the box office of "Initial D" is still popular all the way.
It won more than 20 million box office in the first week, and then the trend also rose steadily. By early June, it had a box office of nearly 50 million.
The movie that was released in 2005 was second only to the box office of "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith", which was 75.54 million.
At present, the box office of "Initial D" has declined, and the chance of surpassing the other party is slightly smaller, but it is not hopeless.
The final box office given by many theaters is speculated to be between 65 million and 70 million. If it lasts long enough, there is a certain chance of exceeding 70 million.
This box office data is different from the 63 million in the original time and space "Initial D".
But it is also normal. Now there is a top three Fanxing theater chains in the industry, which has continuously integrated many theater resources. The mainland film market is much larger than the original time and space, and the box office data of many original time and space are likely to have ups and downs.
"Initial D" is the main film in June this year and is the debut work of Cao Xuan's younger brother Xiao Zhou. The screening volume of Fanxing Cinemas is still very sufficient, which has helped a lot.
If Xiao Zhou hadn't had the popularity and status of Cao Xuan now, and was not as strong as Yuan Shishi in the music industry, the box office would have hoped that it would have exceeded 70 million.
Of course, Cao Xuan is ahead of the film field, perfectly presenting the gorgeous transformation from the Chinese music scene to the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Actor Award.
It also makes many people pay attention to "Initial D" and look forward to the development of Jay Chou. The media's exposure of the movie is definitely much greater than that of the original time and space.
In general, Cao Xuan's butterfly effect has a considerable effect, both positive and negative.
Fortunately, the smart choice of "Initial D" was not mixed into the summer season, and it was not affected too much, but instead benefited a little.
On July 15, Xu Laoqian's martial arts masterpiece "Seven Swords" was released, and he immediately received a large number of film schedules.
"Initial D", which has a box office of 65 million, is also beginning to come to an end. I guess I can get about 70 million when I finish the painting.
For a low-cost racing movie, this box office is quite successful.
Not to mention that Hong Kong also won a box office of HK$38 million, and with other copyright operations, this movie can almost be said to be the most profitable work of Universiade since the "Infernal Affairs" series.
According to common sense, when the iron is hot, it should be released. After all, a large number of plots of the original comics in "Initial D" can be directly developed.
But for some reason, Huanya has not had any related actions. I don’t know if it is because of the copyright or the actors failed to handle it, and this good IP was wasted.
To be honest, if it weren't for Huanya's failure to give it to you, Cao Xuan would have wanted to take it over and develop it.
The movie started with a total box office of nearly 100 million yuan. If it was well filmed in the future, each movie had a potential of nearly 100 million yuan, or even over 100 million yuan.
After thinking about it, Cao Xuan could only understand that Boss Lin just inherited most of his father's inheritance in February this year and looked down on this little money.
The success of "Initial D" also proves that Jay Chou's commercial value is very high.
You should know that Cao Xuan's "When a Man in Love" was only more than 50 million, and Jay Chou was 20 million yuan taller than Cao Xuan.
Of course, the box office is not calculated like this. "When a Man in Love" had a very low overseas box office back then, with a total cumulative box office of 130 million yuan, making it the annual champion of the global box office of Chinese films in 2003.
But no matter what, Xiao Zhou has become a hot commodity now.
Cao Xuan is popular, but he basically only acts in Fanxing movies, and outsiders rarely gain money, so the market urgently needs an actor who can replace him. At present, Xiao Zhou is the best candidate.
The new scene of Boss Zhang wanted to contact Zhou Jielun before, but couldn't resist Lao Touzi's insistence on making an art film, which interrupted Boss Zhang's plan for a commercial blockbuster.
Now, Xiao Zhou has proved his appeal through "Initial D". Boss Zhang is becoming more and more moved and wants to pull Xiao Zhou into the next Lao Mouzi movie.
Relevant film and television capital in Taiwan Province also began to notice Xiao Zhou.
Compared with the mainland, Xiangjiang, they can play not many movie cards. Now they have one more Xiao Zhou, so it’s a pity that they don’t do anything.
Of course, in addition to them, Cao Xuan also fell in love with Xiao Zhou, but he knew that Zhou Jielun's film and television talent was not particularly willing. He could make money if he could, but he would not deliberately force it.

July 20, Xingcheng
After participating in the "New World" crew of "Happy Camp", at the warm invitation of Teacher He, they went to a local Hunan restaurant for a dinner.
After taking a friendly photo with the boss and the boss's wife, Cao Xuan tasted the authentic Hunan cuisine of chopped pepper fish head, farm fried meat, Mao's braised pork, Zu'an series and other dishes.
Many people think that Hunan cuisine is spicy, which is not wrong, but it is a bit prejudiced. In fact, there are many authentic Hunan cuisine that are not spicy.
For example, although Sichuan cuisine is famous for its spicy food, it still has many other famous dishes, known as a variety of dishes.
But to be honest, as a foreigner and a native of Zaoshi with a salty and spicy taste, Cao Xuan personally prefers the Hunan spicy dishes that are most well-known to the outside world.
Fresh, refreshing, fragrant and spicy!
My throat heats up and my forehead is sweating, but there is a sense of comfort from the inside to the inside, making people feel relaxed.
Hey, can this be said?
Cao Xuan likes to eat, but he doesn't eat too much. He wants to make action movies in the subsequent movies, and he has to maintain his body shape and even his muscles are more refined and stylish. So he can taste the taste and eat it for three or four minutes, otherwise he has to go to the gym to practice more.
Everyone was having a good mood while eating and chatting. Cao Xuan was in a good mood. This time he came to "Happy Camp" and only Teacher He hosted it. His ears were very quiet and his cooperation was very comfortable.
Xie Na and Li Weiga officially left "Happy Camp" in early July and chose to go solo.
Speaking of which, the "Happy Camp" has been in constant turmoil in the past year. In the past two years, with the rise of a series of variety shows by Fanxing, Light and other TV stations, it has had a strong impact on "Happy Camp".
In order to break through the siege, "Happy Camp" began to be re-edited last year. Although there are star albums, more attempts are made to use ordinary amateurs as the protagonists.
Judging from the effect, this is undoubtedly a bad move.
The ratings of "Happy Camp" have been declining. At the end of last year, Li Xiang, the number one sister, quit directly. The host group of He, Li and Xie has also been criticized.
In the middle of this year, the "Happy Camp" program team made another trick, and the host elimination system was created. The three hosts voted to decide to stay or leave.
To be continued...
