Chapter 195 I AM IRON MAN
Liu Xiaoli said that her daughter would be detained for a month, but within a week, Liu Yifei sneaked out and went on a date with Cheng Yu'an.
"Kung Fu Panda" is released!
"Kung Fu Panda" performed extremely well in North America.
It grossed US$60 million at the box office in its first weekend, beating Adam Sandler's "Don't Mess with the Zohan" and Spielberg's "Raiders of the Lost Ark" to secure the weekly championship.
By the time it was released in mainland China, "Kung Fu Panda" had already grossed over 100 million U.S. dollars at the box office in North America, and was heading towards the goal of 150 million or even higher.
Bob will never say that Cheng Yuan made a stupid move again.
The two of them were nestled in the last row of the theater, with Liu Yifei leaning on Cheng Yuan's shoulder, sipping ice milk tea.
First it was Dragon Ball, and then it was DreamWorks Animation’s Moon Fishing. For “Kung Fu Panda,” DreamWorks changed its previous style and made the label’s animation into a monkey wearing a hat, jumping on the moon to fish, which is full of chivalry.
.
Then there is animation from a major film company:
A quirky girl threw colorful candy bombs at the screen, and they exploded.
"A Big Picture"
It is translated as "Big Movie" in China, and the official transfer officers are really not as shameless as Cheng Yu'an.
"Who designed this opening animation? It's so ugly."
"I did it!" Cheng Yuan patted his girlfriend.
"Hmm... it still doesn't look good!" The girl thought for a while, but still didn't admit that Cheng Yu'an's animation was good-looking, "You are so shameless, naming your company like this, a big movie company."
"They didn't translate it well. It's really boring. It would be great to call a big film company." Cheng Yu'an also complained about the translation.
The quality of "Kung Fu Panda" goes without saying, otherwise Cheng Yu'an would not have invested in it regardless of Bob's dissuasion.
Whether it's action, scenes or comedy baggage, "Kung Fu Panda" has done it all.
The young lady was laughing from the side.
"Keep your voice down, it's not fun to be recognized." Cheng Yu'an reminded her to pay attention to the occasion and "put on the mask."
After watching the movie, he waited until all the audience left the theater and the theater staff came to clean up. Then Cheng Yu'an took Liu Yifei, who was fully equipped with a hat, mask, and glasses, and left the theater.
"How did you find such an interesting movie investment?" Sitting in the car, Liu Yifei asked him. She knew how Bob dissuaded him from investing in "Kung Fu Panda" and invested 50 million US dollars. "And it's such a big year.
How dare you just throw money down?"
"DreamWorks is a golden brand. Although the production cycle of animated films is long and the risks are high, a subject like "Kung Fu Panda" has the possibility of becoming a global hit. I bet it can be a hit."
"So you didn't know at the time how it would turn out as a film?"
"I didn't even know it would be released this year."
"You dare to throw away 50 million US dollars?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of. Sometimes decisions are made in a split second. The more you think about some things, the more constrained you will be in doing them."
The two were talking, and Cheng Yuan asked her: "Are you going to my place tonight or going home?"
"Go home, my mother put me in solitary confinement, but I still sneaked out tonight."
"Your mother must know that you are out." Cheng Yu'an turned the car and drove towards Liu Yifei's house.
"You knew I was out, but why didn't you get a single call?"
"Wouldn't calling you confirm that you ran away? Your mother must know that you are with me." Cheng Yu'an knew that Liu's mother knew that Liu Yifei was with him.
Cheng Yu'an quietly sent Liu Yifei home, and Liu Yifei sneaked into the room quietly. As expected, no one noticed her.
…………
Do you still remember Zhao Teng and Xie Xiaomeng, the girl he met at the "Crazy Stone" viewing scene?
they got married!
After the two met at the cinema, they chatted for a few words and found that they had many things in common.
They all like to watch movies. Overseas, they like to watch Spielberg. In China, they like to watch Zhang Yimou and Cheng Yuan. They also hate Lu Chuan and Chief Jia.
Over time, the two of them got acquainted, became acquainted, confirmed their relationship, and finally got married.
Today, the two of them went to the cinema to watch cartoons. There were no movies available remotely in the first half of the year, and the earliest "Painted Skin" had to be released for National Day at the end of September.
"Kung Fu Panda" is of course a family-friendly animation that both adults and children can watch.
The young couple was amused and laughed. Finally, the video ended, the ending song started to be recorded, and neither of them left until the end credits came out.
Subtitles display:
Produced by:MELISSA COBB
Co-producer (CO-PRODUATHAN AIBEL, GLENN BERGER,
The young couple both saw the familiar name, looked at each other, and saw confusion and disbelief in each other's eyes.
"is it him?"
"I am not sure."
"Is there anyone else in the film industry called this?"
"I don't know where to go."
The two of them walked out together and happened to meet Cheng Yu'an and Liu Yifei who were leaving at the same time.
Liu Yifei was fully armed and was not recognized, but Cheng Yuan was recognized by the young couple.
Zhao Teng exclaimed in a low voice: "You are director Cheng Yu'an, right?"
Seeing that there was no one else around, Cheng Yu'an nodded and admitted.
"Shh, don't let anyone know I'm here." Cheng Yu'an said.
The two nodded and pointed to the darkened big screen: "Is that the co-producer above you just now?"
"It's me." DreamWorks has already put their name on it, so it's hard not to admit it.
"You made this animation!" Xie Xiaomeng exclaimed.
"I just invested a little money, and it was made by DreamWorks. Okay, I'm leaving." It was not a good place to stay for a long time, so Cheng Yu'an quickly left.
When Zhao Teng and Xie Xiaomeng returned home, they immediately posted on Cheng Yuan’s forum and various film forums.
"I found the biggest easter egg in Kung Fu Panda!"
Then he told what he discovered at the end of the film and what happened when he met Cheng Yu'an at the theater and was acknowledged by Cheng Yu'an himself.
Finally, he added at the bottom of the post: "You can say that my chance encounter with Cheng Yu'an is fake, but Cheng Yu'an's name is indeed listed as the co-producer of "Kung Fu Panda"."
It didn’t take long for this post to be confirmed by people who had also seen the ending credits, and photos of the credits taken in the theater were also posted.
The column for co-producer clearly says it!
After this news was fermented overnight, more and more movie fans watched the co-producer at the end of the film.
Not to mention that the box office of "Kung Fu Panda" exceeded 10 million on the first day and 38 million in the first weekend, surpassing "Iron Man", "The Chronicles of Narnia 2" and "10,000 Years Before History", creating the best opening performance of an imported film in the first half of the year.
.
With the help of such achievements, Cheng Yu'an and Remote Media were pushed to the forefront.
The news that Cheng Yuan invested in "Kung Fu Panda" spread more and more widely, spreading from online media to traditional media.
As a last resort, Cheng Yuan admitted through an interview with "China Film Report" that day:
"Yes, A Big Pictures is my company in Hollywood, and "Kung Fu Panda" is my investment."
Chapter completed!
