Chapter 250 Daily
The big machine is coming!
"Transformers 2" will be released simultaneously in mainland China and the United States.
The first film in 2007 performed very well in the mainland, with 22 million on the first day and a total box office of 270 million, making it the annual champion.
Before "Transformers 2" was introduced, it was unanimously optimistic about China Film and Cinema Lines, but no one expected it to explode like this:
The first-day sales of 33.7 million were more than 6 million higher than the previous first-day record of 27 million held by "Red Cliff Part 1".
Although this movie was constantly criticized by film critics around the world, saying that its plot was too immature, it still couldn't stand up to the powerful machine that swept the global box office market.
The midnight premiere in North America grossed 16 million U.S. dollars, ranking third in film history. It was released in the United Kingdom and Japan ahead of schedule, and also broke the foreign premiere records of the two countries.
In the Korean market, it even set a record of 500,000 moviegoers on the first day - the highest single-day box office in Korean film history!
This achievement in the mainland shocked the industry. Everyone believes that if this trend continues, "Transformers 2" will break the 12-year box office record of "Titanic" and may even reach 400 million!
Explosive Bay accurately grasps the audience's feelings.
People within the company are drooling over such achievements, but they are not affected at all, and every project is moving forward in an orderly manner.
"The big ship has left, and the Autobots are here again." Someone sighed.
"Don't destroy your prestige." Cheng Yu'an encouraged, "Even if it gets 400 million, it won't last long. The domestic market is getting bigger and bigger, and the box office ceiling will be higher and higher. 400 million is just a starting point. It can't be done right.
Our Martian will kill it this year."
"But "The Martian" doesn't have any big scenes. Look at it, it's so dark. It's so exciting. Sitting in the theater and watching the sound effects is worth the price of admission."
Cheng Yu'an didn't say much, but today's filmmakers really don't have much confidence in domestic films.
One can only think of 120 million, and anything above that seems to be reserved for Hollywood blockbusters.

In order to sign Yang Mi, Chen Zhixi gave her the role of "Beauty's Scheming".
She herself was quite unhappy.
You promised to sign me with sincerity, but in the end, you only got roles like this?
The contract between Yang Mi and Rong Xingda is about to expire, and Chen Zhixi intends to sign her. "Beauty's Scheming" is considered a signing gift.
But she doesn't want to take on a third female lead like Mo Xueyuan.
Liu Yifei's signing gift is "Inception"!
I admit that my English is not good and I can't act in Hollywood blockbusters, but you can't fool me by using a third female lead.
At least give it to the second female lead in the movie.
After all, she is also a four-letter actress.
Regarding "Beauty's Scheming", she didn't accept it, but she didn't refuse it either. She kept hanging on, hoping to get better resources from Chen Zhixi.
So she set her mind on "33 Days of Love".
Cheng Lingfeng is an urban romantic comedy movie that Mr. Cheng personally captured.
The novel and synopsis of "33 Days Out of Love" have been circulated within the company.
The heroine is a eloquent little woman.
Yang Mi thinks she can do it!
This is in line with her true nature as a big girl from the capital city.
She even felt that the role of Huang Xiaoxian was prepared for her.
So she begged Chen Zhixi.
If you can't perform in a big-budget production, why can't you do this with a small budget?
But Chen Zhixi still rejected her: "The company's temporary plan for you is to act in a few TV series first, and then let you act in movies after the audience is familiar with you. Don't be impatient."
In fact, what Chen Zhixi didn't tell her was that the role of Huang Xiaoxian had already been taken away.
Hairun brought Wang Luodan in, in exchange for the investment in a TV series next year plus half of the contracting cost.
It's not that Chen Zhixi and Guo Fei don't take care of their own people, but in business circles, the role of Huang Xiaoxian is a typical theater sponsor. As long as the actors are not bad enough, anyone can play it.
Hai Runhua paid such a price to support Wang Luodan, and Yuan Yuan was happy to take over.
In addition, the long-distance relationship with Hai Run was pretty good, so the role was given to Wang Luodan.
Another thing is that although they are both four young actors, Wang Luodan is more famous than Yang Mi at this time.
Mi Lai in "Struggle" and Qian's demo in "Who's in Charge of My Youth" opened her national consciousness, but at this time Yang Mi didn't have a representative role that could compare with Mi Lai and Qian's demo.
"Legend of Sword and Fairy III" will not be released for two more days.
Yang Mi wanted to argue a few more words, but Chen Zhixi stopped her: "Okay, since the company plans to sign you, it will definitely treat you well. You are only 23 years old, and there is still a long way to go. You must be able to endure loneliness."
"Sword and Sword III" will be aired soon, so get ready to promote it."
After becoming pregnant, Chen Zhixi became emotionally unstable, and she planned to curse Yang Mi if she said another word.
Seeing that her boss was impatient, Yang Mi had no choice but to leave.
But she was still unwilling to give in. It was only when she felt that Rongxingda was declining that she chose to leave and join the stronger remote team.
Unexpectedly, I was still not welcomed remotely.
It’s fine if the big boss doesn’t support himself in Hollywood movies, and he won’t be involved in small-budget movies within the company.
Huang Shengyi has "Kung Fu", Liu Yifei has "The King of Kung Fu" and "Inception", Wang Luodan has Mi Lai and Qian's demos, and she is the only one among the four little actresses who doesn't even have a masterpiece.
Guo Xiang is still a supporting role!
I thought I would be able to play the leading role by joining Yuan Yuan, but in the end I got a female lead role in a movie.
This made her wonder if she had made a mistake by joining Long Distance.

Qin Ranqiu came to Cheng Yu'an's place to hide for peace and quiet.
"It's funny, what does it mean if you come to live with me?" Qin Ranqiu carried a change of clothes and moved into the guest bedroom of Cheng Yu'an's house.
"Yifei is leaving, I'll have a drink with you." Qin Ranqiu is also the one who doesn't make drafts when he talks.
"speak English!"
"I was forced."
"Except for Manman (Qin Ranqiu's sister), if you don't even listen to your father, who else dares to force you?"
"It's Zhi Xi." Qin Ranqiu said, "Ever since she got pregnant, I've been serving her like a queen mother, but she's still not satisfied. She picks her nose at me at home. I didn't put the slippers out today, and she'll think I'm eating tomorrow.
He loses his temper every three days."
"Isn't that what pregnant women are like?"
"I know, so I told her that "The Martian" will end in a few days, and she can't leave. You asked me to hide here for two days, and I will go back after "The Martian" is finished."
Cheng Yu'an was angry and funny: "You are about to be a father, so why are you still acting so childishly?"
"I am a first-time father and have no experience. I didn't know it would be so difficult to take care of a pregnant woman!"
Cheng Yuan then asked him: "When do you plan to do it?"
"Next year, maybe. You have to wait until I finish the confinement period. Zhixi also needs to do postpartum rehabilitation. It is expected to be held in Sanya next summer. You will be the best man and Yifei will be the bridesmaid. I have made all arrangements."
"As long as you make arrangements, does the best man want a red envelope?"
Qin Ranqiu rolled her eyes at him: "You will die sooner or later."
Cheng Yuan chuckled.
Qin Ranqiu moved here, so Cheng Yu'an wouldn't be too bored at home alone.
Chapter completed!
