Chapter 432 "Search"

On June 9, "A League of Thieves" was released for 45 days, and its total box office exceeded 1 billion, reaching 1.007 billion.

The first domestic movie with a box office of over 1 billion was born!

At the same time, with 1.26 million moviegoers, it created the highest box office record for a domestic film in the Korean market. It is also the only domestic film so far to have exceeded one million viewers at the Korean box office.

The performance in the Japanese market was slightly worse, with a box office of only 3.2 billion yen, ranking sixth among Chinese-language films in the Japanese box office.

From the General Administration and Remote Control, to Yang Mi, Hu Ge and other actors, we can say that we are very satisfied with this result, but sometimes people are greedy, and they all think about the same thing invariably:

"If Hollywood movies hadn't disrupted the situation, would "A League of Thieves" have reached a box office of 150 million, breaking the monopoly of "Avatar"?"

In response to this question, Cheng Yuan just smiled: "I am very satisfied if I can break 1 billion, and I don't dare to ask for more."

Liu Yifei returned home, picked up her cat, and stroked it lovingly: "Oh, you have lost weight. Dad must have abused you. How pitiful."

Cheng Yu'an said while packing his luggage: "You touch its belly, it's fatter than you. I won't let it go hungry even if I skip one meal."

Liu Yifei didn't listen to him and walked away holding the cat: "Mom will take you to eat something delicious."

As mentioned before, there are some problems with film scheduling in the domestic market. Companies want to rush into popular schedules, which often leads to gaps, such as June before the summer vacation and November before the Lunar New Year.

This year, due to the introduction of the new film agreement, a large number of Hollywood blockbusters have poured in.

Domestic manufacturers are even shrinking from the protection period and are unwilling to come out.

As a result, there were a lot of Hollywood blockbusters in June.

From "Snow White and Mirror Mirror" at the beginning of the month to "Brave" in the middle and late months, six Hollywood blockbusters are piled up in June.

"The Hunger Games" is on the 14th. This film is remotely left-handed and right-handed, and was introduced as a batch film.

Universal, the film's global distributor, wants to make the film a revenue-generating film, thinking that "The Hunger Games" will be a hit in North America - with a box office of US$400 million, it will also be a hit in China.

Remote and Universal jointly conducted a movie viewing survey to let Universal understand that Chinese audiences are not that receptive to killing games like "The Hunger Games", and the domestic box office is expected to exceed US$10 million.

Universal didn't want to take this risk, so it agreed to buy "The Hunger Games" remotely for 10 million yuan.

After two days of rest, Liu Yifei rushed to the crew of "Inner Beauty" to visit and make a guest appearance, while Cheng Yu'an went to the crew of "Witness" in Tianjin.

This movie is a long-range attempt at a new genre, starring Mr. Zhou and Sun Honglei, prosecutor Tong Tao played by Zhu Yawen, and directed by Xin Yukun.

"Witness by All" is a relatively unpopular forensic reasoning style - Grandma's "Witness for the Prosecution" is of this type.

If a professional law student watches this movie, he will feel that the trial process is almost childish - not in line with the national conditions.

"Twelve Citizens" was so awkward that it was possible to film a mock court, and the filming of "Witness" was also supported by the Procuratorate.

"This is my first time playing a prosecutor." Mr. Zhou stood next to Cheng Yu'an and ate the fruit he brought.

"How about it, I didn't fool you with a shoddy script." This was considered as repaying the script that was owed to her.

Xin Yukun praised her from the side: "Sister Xun's acting skills are really good, she can basically do it all."

Zhu Yawen said: "We all call her Zhou Yitiao on the set."

Cheng Yu'an teased him: "You're not holding her back, are you?"

"Why are you talking about this?" Zhu Yawen struggled to keep up with last week's news. Sometimes he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into after a few NG messages.

"It's okay. Just study hard and try not to lose to her in "Red Sorghum" by the end of the year."

Mr. Zhou has confirmed to join "Red Sorghum" with a salary of 27 million!

Xin Yukun had a sudden idea and said to Cheng Yu'an: "Come and play a role for us."

Cheng Yuan no longer stars, but like Stan Lee, he is not opposed to having a supporting role in his own movies.

"There is a director in the movie, just two sentences, please string it together."

This character originally belonged to Chen Sicheng.

"Okay." Cheng Yu'an agreed.

After a half-hour break, the crew resumed work, and Cheng Yuan went to the studio to put on makeup and change clothes.

…………

Director Han has been a little tired these past two years.

He was busy reorganizing China Film and seeking to go public, and had no time to pay attention to projects.

This summer, China Film Group will release a movie called "The Great War of Sino-Japanese War".

This film must have been a showdown mission, but the cast is pretty good: Lu Yi and Xia Yu.

Yang Mi is also nervous. "A League of Thieves" has pushed her to the throne of a heroine with a box office of 1 billion, and there is a movie "Wu-Tang: The Code of Heaven and Earth" released in the summer.

Meiya, the investor of "Wu-Tang", was smiling crookedly before the movie was released.

Yang Mi hit 1 billion at the box office on May Day, and Meiya Bai picked up a 1 billion heroine.

Moreover, "Wu-Tang" also collides with "Thieves" in terms of genre.

Both movies are about treasure hunting.

Publicity is so easy.

"Yang Mi, the 1 billion box office queen, embarks on the journey to win the treasure again!"

"Zhao Wenzhuo joins forces with Yang Mi to explore Wudang to seize the treasure again!"

Yang Mi cherishes "Thieves Alliance" very much. She is somewhat resistant to Meiya's involvement, but she also tries her best to cooperate with the promotion:

"There are many differences between "Wu-Tang" and "Thieves". I hope the audience can put aside Anycall for the time being. Tianxin (Yang Mi's role in "Wu-Tang") is a brand new attempt. I hope the audience will still have a sense of love for "Wu-Tang"."

Bao walked into the cinema out of curiosity."

This is not to say anything bad about "Da Wu-Tang", but no one, including her, believes that "Da Wu-Dang" can create another treasure-winning miracle with Yang Mi.

What level are you, Liang Baijian, why should you compare with Cheng Yuan?

Also released on the same day as "Wu-Tang" is "Search" directed by Chen Kaige.

Director Chen worked very hard for "Search", let's see what he said.

“It’s only today that I realized that I have been filming the most awesome fools since I was making movies.

"For example, in "Farewell My Concubine", Yu Ji, played by Leslie Cheung, wants to bring the cow on the stage into his life. Isn't this a fool?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin", a rogue in the market wants to kill a monarch who dominates the world. It is also a very stupid idea, but because of this

As soon as the sword came out, there was an eternal song: "The wind is rustling and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone."

"Whether it's Cheng Ying in "The Orphan of Zhao" or the father in "With You", they are both doing something awesome but stupid."

When talking about Ye Lanqiu, played by Gao Yuanyuan in "Search", who suffers from online violence, Chen Kaige said:

"If she had aired her grievances online, there might not have been cyberbullying, but it was her lack of excuse that became her best character.

"So, the 'cow fool' is a consistent character in my movies."

Compared with previous heavy themes such as "Mei Lanfang" and "The Orphan of Zhao", "Search" is lighter, brighter and more down-to-earth. After watching the movie, many reporters felt that it was very different from Chen Kaige's previous works.

Some people even suggested that "Search" is like Feng Xiaogang's movie, while Feng Xiaogang's "1942" (not yet released) is like Chen Kaige's work. Regarding this, Chen Kaige simply said: "Chen Kaige will never be Xiaogang, and Feng Xiaogang will never be."

It will be Chen Kaige."

Chen Kaige is the first director to suffer from "cyber violence". Some reporters questioned that the movie "Search" may have projected the director's emotions left over from the "Steamed Bun Murder Case" when filming "The Promise". In this regard, Chen Kaige said that he would never

Avenge "private revenge" in your own movie.

Then why did you sue others?

Then a blind reporter poked a hornet's nest: ""Search" and "The Hunt" both tell the story of the protagonist being coerced by the invisible cold violence of the public. Some audiences and film critics will compare the two films. Director Chen will

Are you worried about this?"

Director Chen asked back: ""Hunting"?"
