Huayu became famous overnight

Chapter 224 Shock! The Chinese Film Industry is about to welcome a new king

"Card!"

"Hurry, hurry, cool down the teachers."

Following the assistant director's shout, the crew got busy.

A large fan was blowing with ice packs tied to it.

A group of bandits wearing mink coats immediately took off their clothes, not caring about the presence of female employees.

Who can bear to wear such a thick coat in July?
That is, in the Northeast, and in the mountains and forests.

If this happened in the south, you might even get heat stroke.

"Take care of Mr. Liang first. He is feeling much worse than me."

Xu Ming said to the crew members who came over to fan him.

Liang Jiahui had special effects makeup on his face, which looked like a thick layer of putty.

"I'm fine. I'll get through it."

Liang Jiahui smiled, looking extremely scary in the makeup of Zuo Shandiao: "I have watched the 86 CCTV version of Journey to the West. Mr. Liu Xiao Ling Tong and the teacher who played Zhu Bajie had a harder time."

"Besides, I got more than the other brothers. They didn't complain, so why should I complain?"

When it comes to filming, his professionalism is among the best among all Hong Kong actors.

The most important thing is that even if he stands at a high position, he will never separate himself from the lower-level extras.

This realization made Xu Ming admire him.

He asked himself honestly, and realized that he sometimes felt proud and thought that the privileged treatment was his due.

"Yes, I need to learn this from you."

Xu Ming waved his hand and said loudly: "I have arranged a truckload of ice cream and cold drinks for you later. Everyone, remember to line up to get them after you take a break."

As the highest paid member of the crew, he can only give back to everyone in this way.

He received 10 million yuan in salary for this drama, ranking among the top ten highest-paid actors in China.

The pressure was firmly on Chen Kun and Fan Bingbing.

That is to say, this project was established early. If it were today, he estimated that it could increase by another two million.

At least after "Fleet of Time" broke the 1500 million mark, some crews had already offered him million.

It's really a huge profit.

The number of actors doubles every year, which means that domestic actors are entering the best era.

Amidst the cheers of the crowd.

Xu Ming returned to his recliner to rest. It was inconvenient on the mountain, otherwise he would have driven the nanny car up.

Well, he did learn well from Liang Jiahui, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t enjoy it.

That would be so unfair to all the people he had to rely on as his master and uncle.

"'So Young' has grossed 5.35 million yuan so far, and it's almost reaching its peak. President Han asked whether we should delay the release of the film," Xiaojuan said.

Listen, it’s easier to get things done if you have more people in the court.

Of course, it also depends on the performance of the movie itself. If a movie performs well, the producers will naturally hope to sell more of it and attract mass consumption.

"Forget it, there's no need. Save it for the next movie."

Xu Ming shook his head. "So Young" only made its way to the early stages of its run. College students had already contributed their money, and the rest were either not interested or were watching pirated copies.

It would be better to save this opportunity for high-quality films like "Nobody", which will at least have a more stable trend.

"it is good."

Xiao Juan nodded and continued, "You and Ni Ni have been invited to endorse an advertisement together. Do you want to accept it?"

"No, by the way, it's time to clarify our relationship. We need to make it clear that we are not lovers but just friends."

Xu Ming rejected it without even thinking about it.

Just kidding, he was worried that the two were too closely tied together and how to reduce the impact later on. How could he possibly add fuel to the fire?

Although the CP hype is indeed very attractive, and it was so attractive that it pushed "Fleet of Time" to the 500 million mark, it is also a double-edged sword.

Not to mention the distant past, let’s just talk about the filming of “Time Raiders” with Yang Mi.

If CP continues, it will have negative impacts.

"I understand. What about the celebration banquet? China Film Group and other investors still hope that you can show up." Xiaojuan said.

"Set a date and I'll go back." Xu Ming murmured.

……

The box office of "Fleet of Time" was fixed at 5.36 million.

As the third domestic film to break 500 million yuan in box office, it did not seem to have caused any waves in the industry except for a bunch of marketing accounts and fans celebrating on the Internet.

It seems like no one cares.

And at this moment inside Huayi.

Wang, Da Wang, Wang Xiao and Feng Dapao sat in the smoky office.

“How can it break 500 million?”

"No, how can it break 500 million?"

Wang Zhonglei paced back and forth, muttering to himself, as if he was possessed by a ghost.

"Okay, stop spinning. It makes me dizzy."

Wang Zhongjun rolled his eyes at his brother, then turned to Feng Xiaogang and said, "From your professional perspective as a director, why did this movie earn over 500 million yuan?"

It's not that they don't care, it's obvious that they care to death.

I really want to use a magnifying glass to shine on the movie "Fleet of Time" to see what it is that can attract so many audiences.

Last year, "If You Are the One 2", which made them so proud, only grossed 4.7 million.

Feng Xiaogang, Ge You, Wang Shuo, and the "If You Are the One" brand, not to mention highly renowned actors such as Shu Qi, Sun Honglei, and Yao Dazui.

All together they are not as good as Xu Ming?
As for Qiming's contracted artists such as Ni Ni and Li Jinming, they were not counted by Wang Zhongjun at all.

After all, these people may not be as famous as the supporting roles in If You Are the One 2.

Feng Xiaogang was stunned when he heard this, and his face looked like he had eaten shit.

You ask me, who do I ask?
If he had been able to figure out the secret, it wouldn't have taken until last year for a movie like "Tangshan" to break 500 million yuan.

Moreover, "Tangshan" is a disaster film, and "Let the Bullets Fly" is a feature film.

And "Fleet of Time" is a youth film.

These three films don't make sense.

I originally thought that the trick was to pair a famous director with a famous actor, but now Xu Ming has broken this convention.

Guo Fan and Ni Ni were both brought up by him thanks to him.

This means that Xu Ming, with his own direct lineage, has taken down the entire industry, leaving only two plays with unexploded anus.

It’s not that the industry is silent, it’s that they don’t know what to say.

What she did was beyond their imagination.

Seeing Feng Xiaogang didn't say anything, Wang Zhongjun didn't hesitate and continued, "Can we replicate this route?"

"The group is preparing a youth film." Feng Xiaogang said.

"I mean you come." Wang Zhongjun said.

"Me? My youth was in the 1970s and 1980s."

Feng Xiaogang laughed to himself, and then a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes. It's not impossible.

Keep this idea for now.

"Besides, Qiming has made two youth films in a row, one last year and one this year. The domestic film market is so small that this genre has been basically sucked dry. I don't think there will be followers."

Feng Xiaogang's words made Wang Zhongjun fall into deep thought. As the chairman of Huayi since the early days of the film industry, he could tell that what Feng Xiaogang said was true.

"What should we do? Xu Ming has appeared in three dramas this year, occupying three of the top five spots. If it weren't for the "Establishing Great Powers", he would have occupied three spots alone."

Wang Zhongjun sucked his lips, somewhat regretting his arrogance.

Even if he confiscated it and brought it back to his sect, he should at least show some mercy. It's really embarrassing that things have ended up like this.

As for dealing with others, I don't have the ability to do so. Making friends with them will only make deep enemies.

“Water does not compete for the lead, but for the flow that continues.”

Feng Xiaogang said in a relaxed tone, "We have come a long way and have seen all kinds of geniuses, but we are the ones who stand at the end."

He had hugged Zheng Xiaolong's thigh, Wang Shuo's thigh, and wrote sketches for the Spring Festival Gala, but in the end he found that he had become the thickest thigh.

"That's right. Let's wait and see..."

Wang Zhongjun paused, smacked his lips and didn't continue talking.

……

[Warm congratulations to "Back in Time" for reaching a box office of 5.35 million yuan, ranking third in the history of Chinese mainland films]

A large red banner was hung in the banquet hall.

Xu Ming took a glance and felt embarrassed.

What a nouveau riche.

I originally wanted to ask someone to take down the banner, but then I thought it would be better to satisfy everyone's interest.

As someone who has seen a domestic film gross over 10 billion yuan, he feels it is shameful, but others may regard it as an honor.

"Xu Ming is here? Come over here."

Han Sanping saw Xu Ming and waved at him with a smile on his face.

The latter walked over briskly, not jogging like before to appear flattering.

"If you had told me earlier that you would come to the celebration party, I would have arrived earlier." Xu Ming looked annoyed.

Hearing Han Sanping burst into laughter, he patted the latter on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. You are the protagonist today, and we are just here to serve as a foil."

The more he looked at his nephew, the more satisfied he became. After he took charge of the Chinese Film Industry, he could say that the other party was the most worthwhile investment he had ever made.

All the invested projects made huge profits.

It also alleviated the shadow of the setback in his previous plan to export Chinese blockbusters overseas.

"I heard that Boss Yang from Yinghuang came to see you before? Is it nothing?" Han Sanping asked.

"No, we had a friendly exchange and reached a collaboration on "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice" by the way." Xu Ming shook his head.

According to the report from Tang Sheng, the investment agreement submitted by Yinghuang is still very sincere.

"That's good. If you find any situation where you use your power to pressure others, be sure to tell me in time."

Han Sanping's eyes were blazing. "I can't do anything else, but if someone bullies you, I can still protect you."

With your words, it's not in vain that I call you uncle.

Xu Ming looked touched.

He didn't tell the other party that he had turned his enemy into an uncle.

They are all uncles of Mr. Xu. Give him some face and stop arguing about who is better.

"How is the filming progress on Director Xu's side?" Han Sanping asked.

"It's going pretty smoothly. We expect it to be wrapped up in August. The special effects will take some time in post-production," Xu Ming replied.

He was a little worried whether the film could be released this year.

Fortunately, the addition of "Time Raiders" can barely fill the gap.

Han Sanping looked around and said thoughtfully, "Tell me the truth, how sure are we this year?"

"Ten percent."

Xu Ming said firmly, then smiled faintly and said, "I don't like to leave myself a way out."

Although the two did not say what it was, they both knew it.

Han Sanping raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully, "Then I feel relieved. People are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat. But for you, the more famous you are, the better."

He couldn't help but reveal some of the secrets.

The two of them made eye contact, neither looking down, but both understanding each other.

This is the tacit understanding between smart people.

“When is ‘Nobody’ going to be released?”

"On the 21st of this month."

Hearing Xu Ming's answer, Han Sanping couldn't help but be stunned: "Are you going to compete with Transformers 3?"

Xu Ming was also stunned, then he smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence. The schedule was discussed by the company. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known it happened."

Well, that means you have enough confidence in your own movie.

Han Sanping was also happy when he recalled the cast of "The Unknown".

Xu Ming + Jiang Wen + Ning Hao, this three swords combined, even if Megatron came, it would not work in the Chinese film market.

As they were talking, they were pulled onto the stage.

Faced with the limited number of Sohu reporters who were invited in to take interviews, he smashed the ice sculpture engraved with the box office figure of 5.35 million.

The scene cheered.

Ranked third in the box office history of domestic films, this ranking can motivate everyone present better than any number.

It can also add a layer of halo to Xu Ming.

click.

Xu Ming, who was holding a glass of wine and chatting and laughing with investors, was recorded by a Sohu reporter with a camera.

In a short while, a brand new article was published on Weibo.

[Shock! The Chinese film industry is about to welcome its new king]

[Sohu Entertainment reporter Wang Xiaowang: In the past, we talked about the three major directors, Chen, Zhang, and Feng. Their names were a guarantee of box office success. Later, we listed Shuang Zhou and Li Yicheng. Their pay in US dollars was the highest in China.]

[When talking about Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, they feel they are superior, and when talking about mainland actors, they feel they are inferior. In this atmosphere, domestic films have also become a stage for a few people, who firmly control the charts and occupy the media pages. ]

[The new generation of young people in China love the US, Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan, but they don’t recognize the new generation of mainland artists. They are naturally labeled as "unfashionable". When did all this start to change? ]

[My personal opinion is that since the appearance of that sissy in a Scottish skirt in 09, a wave of "Xu Ming fever" has spread across the entire Chinese land. He is like the Monkey King who jumped out of a stone. He has never had a moment of peace since the day he appeared.]

[From "Love Is Not Blind" to today's "Fleeting Time", in the past less than three years, his name has almost never disappeared from the media pages, and his works have repeatedly occupied the annual list. The Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor is a recognition of his popularity, and the 33 million box office is a testament to his reputation. ]

[When it comes to box office guarantees, among the names that are so familiar that they are tired, a new name has appeared after a long time. When it comes to new generation artists from all over the world, the name Xu Ming has suppressed them all with his own strength. ]

[Some people must think that I am a "Xu braggart", so let's use data to speak. This year, Xu Ming released a total of three movies, "The Laughing Man" with 2.2 million, "Dear" with 3.6 million, and "Fleeting Time" with 5.35 million. ]

[Except for "The Founding of a Republic" which just grossed over 4 million yuan, these three movies are the top three domestic movies at the box office. Even though the year is only halfway through, I have reason to make a prediction that Xu Ming is likely to replicate Stephen Chow's miracle of 92 and define the Chinese film industry in 2011 as the 'Year of Xu Ming'.]

【By then, the Chinese film industry will welcome its new king to the throne. 】

Due to the limitations of Weibo, this long blog post can only be published in the form of a long picture.

But it is precisely this format that allows it to spread rapidly in major forums.

A new king ascends the throne of domestic film industry?

Before, most people would just treat it as a joke.

With international superstars like Jackie Chan and Jet Li, who dares to be called the new king?
But after reading the article by this Sohu entertainment reporter.

These people carefully looked through this year's domestic film list and suddenly had a new understanding.

It seems like it’s really going to dominate the charts.
