Chapter 557: Messy May
It's Sunday the 4th, but I have to make up my shift that day.
However, "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" still delivered a good result of 68 million (including zero sales) on the first day.
It gave the market a shot in the arm.
"My Deskmate", as the big winner during the holidays, still maintains 23% of the film schedule and has a revenue of 13 million yuan in a single day.
Poor "Frozen: Gate of Rebirth", its film schedule was cut down to only 7%, with a single daily box office of 1.4 million. It was beaten by "Hypnotist", a film that was well received but not a hit, with a 19% film schedule and a daily box office of 10.6 million.
However, several domestic films competed with each other, and "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" was a joke. It exceeded 100 million in two days, and after that, the new revenue did not fall below 30 million on any working day.
Overseas results were equally gratifying. On the 5th, the film's global box office reached US$370 million.
But I'm sorry, everyone is watching a movie, but the focus of the news is not on Spider-Man.
Not even when Ahri announced plans to film "Nie Xiaoqian".
There are mainly these few things.
Mr. Zhou announced his relationship in a high-profile manner, and the man's name is Gao Shengyuan, a Chinese-American actor who is not familiar to domestic audiences.
Gao Shengyuan is well known in the Chinese community in Hollywood, and Cheng Yu'an has met him a few times. On the same day, Cheng Yu'an forwarded the relevant Weibo post on Weibo and sent his sincere blessings.
Gao Shengyuan is the only one of Brother Xun's many boyfriends who is married, and he is also the one who has been with him the longest.
The second thing is that the three little ones stepped onto the stage of the base camp and officially appeared in front of the mainstream audience!
Opening up a new era of idol stars.
Weibo topics about these three children exploded overnight.
Sanxiaozhi’s super talk was ranked in the top five for a while.
Why not first?
Because the first thing is to sign.
Signed to announce the termination of contract with SM.
The first shot was fired for the return of migrant workers in South Korea (it seems that he cannot be called back, let’s use this term for now).
Shuashuan posted a statement on Weibo and received millions of retweets and likes from fans, which shows its popularity.
Wu Zhuan is not the first, his predecessor Han has set a good example, but he will not be the last. More artists who have developed in South Korea will return to China in the future.
SM wanted to find Yuan Yuan to mediate, but Yuan Yuan did not want to get involved in the matter. He said that he did not know Wu Zhan and he did not know which company he would sign with when he returned to China.
What’s more, Zhang Yimou is back!
On May 11th, Zhang Yimou returned with his "Return"!
The date of this movie is a bit awkward, with a premiere press conference on the 11th and a public release on the 16th, but the Cannes Film Festival opens on the 14th, the film has been shortlisted for screening, and the crew has to fly to France to promote it.
But "Return" will stick to the domestic schedule first, and then fly to France on the 20th.
Cheng Yu'an took time to return to the capital from Western Cinema and attended the film's premiere press conference.
"Now that Director Zhang is making movies, he no longer needs to prove anything to anyone," Cheng Yu'an said in response to a reporter's question about why he supports Zhang Yimou in making artistic films. "We have a very happy cooperation with Director Zhang. We need people to give people.
If you want money, give money. Director Zhang’s production rights in the company are the same as mine. As long as he wants to film, we will support him unconditionally.”
"Then I would like to ask Director Zhang, how does it feel to work remotely for the first time?"
Zhang Yimou said secretly: "It is very worry-free to cooperate with professionals."
"We don't restrict Director Zhang from saying that he must make a commercial film to earn box office. Everything is decided by Director Zhang himself. If he wants to make a literary film, he can make a literary film. If he wants to make a commercial film, we also support him." Cheng Yu'an boasted about the cooperation between the company and Zhang Yimou.
"Do you have anything to share with us about director Zhang's other film "Pain and Glory"? Judging from the name, this film is still a literary theme, and we are very curious about it."
The project of "Pain and Glory" was established earlier than "The Return", but it was not until March this year that the film was completed in Spain.
Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "This movie was given to me by Yu'an, and I was immediately attracted by the story. But unfortunately, this movie is a foreign language film, and some of the content in it is relatively large-scale, so this
The movie will not be released domestically, but will go directly to overseas markets and be released next year."
Cheng Yu'an knew that reporters would ask about large-scale dramas, so he hurriedly took the conversation, changed the subject, and praised Zhang Yimou: "Director Zhang is very energetic, not only doing two dramas at the same time, but also directing a Peking Opera in between. Many young people in our group said
I can’t survive Director Zhang.”
Returning to the movie "Return", Zhang Yimou was very confident about the movie and said, "The emotions of this movie can move everyone."
However, in an interview after watching the movie, a reporter reported that "I felt excited during the first half, but felt drowsy after watching the middle and latter parts."
Cheng Yu'an couldn't sit still at first and took the initiative to retaliate: "I don't agree with your wording. Although it is said that benevolent people have different opinions and wise people have different opinions, but if you say this in front of so many media, it will easily become tomorrow's headline-grabbing party. Do you think the movie is boring?
Procrastination may be due to not getting enough rest.”
It's not that you can't raise objections, but when a reporter asks this question at a movie premiere, it's obviously looking for trouble.
Later, Zhang Yimou solemnly taught reporters: "I think the plot of this movie does not need to be more intense. Of course I have ways to make it more intense, but it is not that type of movie. It just wants to be told.
.I conclude that you are controlled by your viewing habits of commercial films, and you just stereotyped your viewing habits.
"...Movie viewing habits have become one type. In fact, if you look at the Oscars, they are not all awarded to commercial blockbusters, so Cameron's "Avatar" lost to "The Hurt Locker" filmed by his ex-wife Bigelow. Our emotional interest
You cannot be kidnapped. This is also one of my sustenance in making movies. I am a few years older than you. I will give you some lessons. You should develop your patience to watch various movies."
Another reporter asked Zhang Yimou: "Now that you are making two artistic films in a row, are you saying goodbye to commercial films?"
Zhang Yimou smiled: "I have always walked on two legs and tried all genres. This does not mean that I will not make commercial films in the future. Didn't Yu'an also make commercial and literary films?" He also gave Cheng Yu'an a cue.
Overall, today's press conference was quite successful.
Some reporters also asked Cheng Yuan about the progress of "Legend of the White Fox" and his thoughts on Ahli's production of "Xiao Qian".
Regarding "Legend of the White Fox", Cheng Yu'an truthfully revealed the progress to reporters: "The filming is currently going very smoothly and can be completed in August as scheduled.
"Ali is making a movie..." Cheng Yu'an's few fierce remarks to the outside world were mostly directed at the entry of Internet companies into film and television. Reporters also hoped that he would say something more exciting so that everyone would have something to write about. Cheng Yu'an
He didn't disappoint them, "If you have money and people, you can't help but let others take pictures, so let's take pictures."
"So what does Director Cheng think about Ahri's plan to invite Peter Jackson to direct in China?"
"It's good. If Peter Jackson can really come to China to work, it will be a good thing to talk about after dinner. I can't afford to hire him anyway."
"Are you not optimistic about Ahri's actions this time?"
Chapter completed!
