Became the best actor, the system just finished loading

Chapter 368 is absolutely an eyesore (Seeking monthly votes)

The current market is all about making so-called domestic blockbusters.

Since the release of "Hero," the first commercial blockbuster in mainland China in 2002, production costs of hundreds of millions of yuan and the pursuit of high box office returns have been regarded as essential characteristics of commercial blockbusters.

When asked if Zhonghao was going to do something big, Qi Hao replied...

Currently, apart from "Bodyguards and Assassins" and "Let the Bullets Fly," all the films invested in by Zhonghao are low- to medium-budget films.

Qi Hao's response was simple: look at the script and the production team.

It's not that we can't invest more in truly good movies, but we should just abandon those with obviously impure motives.

For example, the Warring States period.

This was the most talked-about project in the industry before. I heard that it has already been filmed and may be released in March or April next year.

This film marks Kim Hee-sun's first film after giving birth, and with the addition of Sun Honglei, Francis Ng, Jiang Wu, and other main actors, the epic historical film "The Warring States" has generated considerable buzz even before filming began.

The script was also presented to Qi Hao.

Firstly, they wanted to seek investment cooperation, and secondly, they wanted to invite Qi Hao to participate in the film.

Kim Hee-sun had already been confirmed at that time.

Qi Hao opened the script with a cautious attitude.

But he soon regretted it.

Damn it, I shouldn't have worn my glasses to read this lousy script; it's an eyesore.

I have a photographic memory!
It's hard to forget.

However, not long after he rejected the script, it ended up in Sun Honglei's hands.

In an interview, Sun Honglei praised the script as outstanding.

“Starting last December, I read nearly 30 scripts, but none of them were interesting. I was very desperate at the time. I couldn’t even finish reading some of them after two pages because I didn’t understand what they were about… It wasn’t until I read the script for ‘The Warring States’ that I felt like a ray of sunshine had shone into my heart. The plot of this movie is very intense and profound, and as an actor, I felt completely captivated.”

Regarding the role of "Sun Bin," Sun Honglei felt it was "very challenging," noting that "many predecessors have played the role before."

He also said that he reads books on military strategy almost every day and is fascinated by the character of Sun Bin.

I'm totally baffled!

Qi Hao strongly suspected that the two of them were not reading the same script.

He really wanted to get the script from Sun Honglei and read it again.

Could it be that they saw he wasn't sincere and hid the real script from him?

It wasn't until he was drinking with people in the industry that Qi Hao learned that the script was actually intended to promote Jing Tian.

That girl has very powerful connections.

Regardless of his opinion on the script, Sun Honglei would never criticize it.

Moreover, with an investment of over 100 million yuan, the salary he was paid was also very considerable, more than he earned from acting in five installments of "Lurking".

As long as the money is there, they'll lie through their teeth.

Qi Hao could only express his utter admiration.

Fortunately, he is already wealthy enough that he doesn't need to make money in such a dishonest way.

Fortunately, his wife's rise to fame was smooth, and everyone recognized every role she played, so he didn't need to organize such a scheme to promote her.

How cruel!

Qi Hao couldn't even imagine how Sun Honglei would face everyone's doubts after the movie was released.

Also, is this kind of excessive promotion really effective?

Qi Hao had a slight impression of Jing Tian, ​​but only in terms of her appearance.

His looks are actually alright.

As for the acting...

In an interview, director Jin Chen said that Jing Tian's role as "Tian Xi" involves both dramatic and action scenes, and the role places very high demands on the actress. Not only does she need to have a clear appearance and refined temperament, but she also needs to be intelligent and persistent in love. Therefore, the actress also needs to have inner resilience.

Previously, the production team considered many actresses with a pure and innocent temperament, such as Zhang Ziyi, An Feng, Sun Li, and Zhao Yanzi.

But none of them are as suitable as Jing Tian.

On the one hand, these actresses have basically formed fixed images, which can easily lead to aesthetic fatigue among the audience; on the other hand, this role is a young girl, and we would prefer to use a fresh face.

Although Qi Hao's wife was also brought up for comparison, Qi Hao did not intend to argue with them.

Every time Qi Hao glanced at them, he couldn't help but think of the script he had memorized about a fifth of.

Therefore, Qi Hao was wary of these so-called big-budget domestic productions.

On the contrary, they generously spent money on several animated films such as "Kuiba 2", "Monkey King: Hero Is Back", and "Ne Zha".

In addition, Fantawild Animation, which received investment from Xihao Animation Film Studio, has received an investment from Xihao and plans to make a series of animations about two bears and a lumberjack.

If the feedback is good, it will be made into a feature film in the future.

"Let the Bullets Fly" was released on a Saturday, and its opening week box office only lasted for two days, or even less. However, this critically acclaimed film still grossed over 100 million yuan.

Then, more and more people began to interpret this film. Interpretation is an essential step in watching Jiang Wen's films.

As a result, some netizens began to wonder: Are we watching the same movie?

Why didn't I notice?

I've been recommending this movie to everyone for the past two days, but it's all been for nothing.

No, I need to go and do it again.

It is precisely because of these various interpretations that a culture of "learning by doing" has gradually formed.

Word-of-mouth continued to grow, and box office revenue continued to rise.

Although there were dissenting voices, questioning whether "Let the Bullets Fly" was too bloody and violent, they were all fucking fucking.

However, its merits outweigh its flaws.

Those who complain might even go and watch it a second time.

I was so distracted that I didn't even see how the clothes were taken off.

Everyone says it's big, but no one really knows how big it is.

As "Let the Bullets Fly" rose to prominence, "The Man from Nowhere" finally came to an end.

The film grossed 5.8 million yuan at the Chinese box office!
Global box office surpasses $12 billion!
In particular, the porters' market directly contributed 3.9 million RMB to the box office, making it the highest-grossing country and region outside of mainland China.

Unfortunately, "The Man from Nowhere" is purely a commercial film.

It attracted many viewers and generated high box office revenue.

Unfortunately, the level of discussion was still relatively low, far less than the nationwide frenzy surrounding "Let the Bullets Fly".

Discussions about "The Man from Nowhere" are limited to a few specific types.

One point is that discussing action scenes is quite good.

Action movies are in decline now, so it's rare to see a film with such exciting action scenes.

Although it features a Hong Kong cast, it's clear that this film is predominantly made up of mainland Chinese actors.

Because the main actors are mostly from mainland China.

Hong Kong actors are mostly playing supporting roles.

Secondly, Qi Hao is just too handsome.

The scene where he takes a shower and shaves his head, in particular, elicited screams from many female viewers.

Many people have asked online for the uncut version of this segment.

Uh……

There were no cuts to begin with, so where did these cut scenes come from?

However, many people still believe that Qi Hao appeared completely naked while filming this scene.

At least you can see the buttocks.

Some movie fans confidently asserted that they had seen it.

That face, that physique, those muscles, that feel...

Qi Hao surpassed the male members of the Bangbang group and became the new male god in the hearts of the Bangbang audience.

By a twist of fate, a reverse output was achieved.

Thirdly, Zhao Jinmai became famous.

Zhonghao Entertainment didn't give this young artist many acting roles, but she was inundated with advertising offers.

The movie hadn't even finished its two-month run when she landed over ten advertising endorsements, making her commercial value comparable to top-tier celebrities in the industry.

"The Man from Nowhere" has achieved both box office and critical success, so it definitely deserves a celebration.

It just so happens that "Let the Bullets Fly" is also a box office and critical success, so let's just celebrate together.

Other companies celebrate once when the box office reaches 100 million, then again when it reaches 200 million, and continue celebrating after the movie ends.

But Qi Hao wasn't enthusiastic at all.

When "The Man from Nowhere" grossed over 100 million yuan, he said he was too busy.

When "The Man from Nowhere" grossed over 500 million, he still said he was too busy and didn't want to steal the limelight from "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate," since it was almost out of theaters anyway.

They finally agreed to celebrate their success, as they could no longer delay.

Since "Let the Bullets Fly" was also going to join in, Qi Hao simply went a step further and invited all the main creators of Zhonghao Films, which were released this year.

Let's have an annual celebration.

From "First Love" and "Lost in Thailand" at the beginning of the year, to "You Are the Apple of My Eye" and "Hello! Mr. Tree" in the middle of the year, to "The Man from Nowhere" and "Let the Bullets Fly" at the end of the year...

Everyone who comes will receive a red envelope.
