Huayu timely rain, they forced me to be the top star

Chapter 237 Lost in Thailand is released! Box office predictions cause big waves
"Brother Yang, you can't take pictures!" Song Qian heard Zhang Yang's words and immediately stopped him in a low voice: "Our company has regulations that any publicity, platform and other activities need to be reported. Even if it's just friends helping to promote, you need to get the agent's consent first."

"I brought a few kids to Shanghai to thank the agent uncle and not to cause him any trouble."

"Don't get excited, I was just joking." Zhang Yang comforted softly, and then sighed: "It's not easy to get into Chinese entertainment, but Korean entertainment is even worse. It feels like they don't treat you as human beings."

Tang Yan nodded in agreement, and Song Qian smiled shyly without arguing any further on this topic.

Compared to the hardships she endured before and after her debut, her life is much better now. She has achieved success in a foreign country and now has a new goal.

"Let's go watch a movie." Zhang Yang said teasingly, "I hope your three kids can understand it."

Among the five FX members, apart from Song Qian, only Chinese-American Amber Liu might be able to understand the show, but she may not be able to catch the jokes.

Of the other three girls, two are pure Korean girls and one is a Korean-American girl. They can't understand subtitles or Chinese.

Is this comedy really fun to watch?
He just had a sinister heart and wanted to make trouble for Song Qian.

"FFF ~"

The familiar dragon logo appeared and the movie began to play, and before long the hero Xu Lang and his wife were talking about divorce. Huang Bo, with a broken neck, appeared with a funny expression on his face, and then Choi Seol-ri laughed.

Zhang Yang:?
This girl has such a low sense of humor, is it enough to just look at her face?

Soon, the plot progressed to the scene on the plane, where Wang Bao, played by Wang Baoqiang, appeared on the stage holding a cactus ball in his hand.

"Wow~"

Seeing Xu Lang's phone, Wang Bao's eyes widened and he leaned forward: "Your phone screen is so big."

"Oh~" Xu Lang roared with an exaggerated expression.

It turned out that Wang Baoqiang's cactus ball had pricked his hand.

"FFF~" All five girls in FX group laughed.

Krystal Jung, who originally maintained a cool and aloof image, also smiled.

Next, whenever there were any language jokes, only Liu Yiyun and Song Qian would laugh, such as when they were talking about a shemale in the elevator and it turned out that the person was a beautiful Chinese girl.

But as long as the body language and expressions are funny, or there is a reversal in the style, Choi Seol-ri and the other two girls will laugh along, such as the part where Xu Lang hid under the bed and listened to European and American men playing with shemales and getting beaten, and the part where Wang Bao gave Gao Bo a SPA but actually beat him up.

Amidst laughter and cheers, everyone walked out of the screening room with the crowd wearing baseball caps and masks.

Although many people were curious, they didn't pay much attention to them. They were all discussing the movie.

"It's so funny. The shemale part almost made me laugh to death."

"I thought it was the temple looking for Lao Zhou, but the misunderstanding was hilarious."

"Maybe I'm a bad guy. I like the part where Gao Bo thinks he's being cheated on, haha."

"As soon as I heard it was a sequel to Lost on Journey and Huang Bo was joining the cast, I knew it was going to be good. It's really hilarious."

"I feel much better now. I'm going to bring my parents to see it."

"."

Hearing these positive reviews, Zhang Yang felt much better.

Even though the FX group wasn’t there, they still laughed happily, but Lost in Thailand is still pretty good.

At this time, two girls passed by him, and one of them said, "My laugh is at the end, when Zhang Yang came out as a photographer to take pictures of Pang Bing and Wang Baoqiang."

"It's really funny." Another girl laughed and said, "He deliberately took ugly photos and then said Wang Baoqiang was not good-looking. Wang Baoqiang was very angry and said he would take the photos. Zhang Yang then took photos with Pang Bing in a reasonable manner, which made Wang Baoqiang very angry."

"I'm not saying this scene is funny, but it is indeed funny." The girl in front shook her head slightly: "I mean, Zhang Yang said in an interview the day before yesterday that he had a role in Lost in Thailand, and his importance was the same as Pang Bing's. I didn't expect it to be a cameo."

Another girl immediately agreed.

Tang Yan slapped Zhang Yang on the shoulder and said, "Are you a joke?"

Zhang Yang looked at her speechlessly, shook his head gently, and smiled meaningfully: "It doesn't matter, this is the result I want. It would be best if the media would scold me too."

Tang Yan showed a puzzled expression: "Are you a masochist?"

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you." Zhang Yang shook his head.

"How do you know I don't understand if you don't tell me?"

"You know you don't understand even if I don't tell you."

"You should tell me first so that I can be sure whether I understand or not,"

"Needless to say, you definitely won't understand."

"Then maybe I'll understand if you tell me."

"You don't have to understand."

"You!" Tang Yan's fists hardened.

Choi Sulli and Krystal Jung were overwhelmed.

"Ouni, you Chinese people talk so horribly." Cui Xueli whispered to Song Qian, "Fortunately you don't do that."

Song Qian: "."

Most Chinese people don't usually behave like this.

"Ouni, so Yuwen Tuo and Ning Ke, Xiaoxue are not a couple, but they are with Yu'er?" Zheng Xiujing asked puzzledly.

"Xiujing, don't gossip about your seniors." Song Qian acted like a captain.

At this time, Zhang Yang suddenly turned around and said, "No, Sister Tangtang and I are just ordinary friends."

It's so funny. Xiaoxue and Ning Ke are both his girlfriends.

"I forgot you can speak Korean, Oppa." Krystal Jung felt a little embarrassed.

Cui Xueli and others immediately looked at her with surprised expressions.

Krystal Jung doesn't call someone "Oppa" easily.

Cui Xueli took a deep look at Zhang Yang, who still had a beard and looked to be in his thirties, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.

"I'll take you back."

Zhang Yang acted like a gentleman and sent the five women back to the hotel, and then sent Tang Yan to the gate of her community.

"Sister Tangtang, let's meet again when we are free. Lend me your car for a while. Bye~"

Zhang Yang rolled down the window, waved, and drove away in a leisurely manner.

Tang Yan looked at the car and muttered, "Going so fast, I won't eat you."

"Who did you eat!?" a voice appeared.

Tang Yan was startled and turned around to see her parents.

"Dad, Mom, you are at the door." Tang Yan walked forward with a smile and hooked their hands.

"Of course I'm here to pick you up. Your father is worried about you coming back alone so late at night."

"Who was that person who drove away with your car just now? The future prodigy?"

“No.” Tang Yan shook her head: “He’s just an ordinary friend, the one you’ve heard of, the Zhang Yang.”

The family of three went home chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very good.

Seeing this scene, a car at the corner of the street slowly drove away.

Nothing happened that night. It was the morning of December 12th at the Magic City International Cinema. Director and starring actors Xu Shanzheng, Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo, Tao Hong and Zhang Yang were all present.

The midnight show of this movie was packed, and the word of mouth is very good so far. In addition, with someone guiding behind the scenes, the reviews and discussions are now very positive.

"Brother Bo, how high do you think the box office of our movie can be?" a reporter asked.

“Since everyone likes it so much, I’ll be conservative and estimate 500 million,” Huang Bo replied with a smile.

"Your answer is not conservative at all." Wang Baoqiang said with a smile: "If it were me, I would say 4.9 million."

"You two have said everything I wanted to say." Xu Shanzheng shook his head slightly, but there was a smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.

Judging from the packed preview screenings and audience feedback, a box office of 500 million is indeed possible.

He couldn't help but feel excited when he thought that his first work as a director and screenwriter would achieve such results and make him a 500 million director.

At this time, a reporter asked Zhang Yang: "Zhang Yang, you and Pang Bing only appeared at the end. Why did you say you were the leading actor that night at the Huading Awards?"

"Friend, don't set me up." Zhang Yang reached out and pointed at the other person: "I said participating in the performance, not starring in the performance."

"But even if we are the leading actors, it's not wrong. You can check the subtitles of the movie yourself. Sister Pang Bing and I are marked as special leading actors, not as good as Brother Bo and the others as the leading actors."

"From the feedback from the audience, the finale of the show by Sister Pang Bing and I was both hilarious and surprising. It was a successful finishing touch, right?"

Zhang Yang’s last statement was not wrong. When Pang Bing and he appeared on the stage, many people were indeed surprised.

And the plot in the end where Xu Lang helps Wang Bao realize his dream gives people a very warm feeling.

Pang Bing is so good-looking, and photographer Zhang Yang is also handsome and charming.

"Okay, maybe I didn't word it right." The reporter didn't ask any sharp questions, but instead asked, "So how much do you think this movie will do at the box office?"

Xu Shanzheng and others looked at Zhang Yang. To be honest, they were also curious about the answer in Zhang Yang's mind.

After all, he is the second largest investor in this film.

"I'm a young man, so I'm more aggressive than Brother Bo and Brother Baoqiang." Zhang Yang held up the microphone and answered with a smile: "I'll be conservative, maybe one billion!?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was shocked and there was an uproar.

The reporter who had wanted to stir up trouble but failed shook his hands and his voice trembled: "Say more!?"

"One billion!" Zhang Yang answered decisively, and added: "Conservative estimate."

boom!
At this point, everyone started talking.

One billion?

Is Zhang Yang really crazy to think so, or is he just making a gimmick?!
目前内地票房记录，票房超过五亿的就十三部，分别是《阿凡达》《泰坦尼克号》《变形金刚3：月黑之时》《画皮2》《碟中谍4》《让子弹飞》《功夫熊猫2》《金陵十三钗》《2012》《少年派的奇幻漂流》《复仇者联盟》《龙门飞甲》《黑衣人》。

Among them, only "Avatar" and "Titanic" had box office revenue of more than 13 billion yuan, and they were released in 10 and early 12 respectively.

There are only four Chinese-language films, namely "Painted Skin 2", "Let the Bullets Fly", "The Flowers of War" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", which only occupy one-third of the seats.

Among them, "Painted Skin 2" has the accumulation of previous works. The director is a big director and Chen Kun and Zhou Xun have joined.

"Let the Bullets Fly" is directed by Jiang Wen with an all-star cast, "The Flowers of War" is the work of Zhang Yimou, and "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" is the work of Xu Ke.

Xu Shanzheng is just a new director. Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo are not bad but not superstars either. Their movies are just comedies. The latter two's box office report of 500 million is already a bit exaggerated.

But everyone can also understand it as a beautiful expectation.

But Zhang Yang predicted that the box office could reach "10 billion".

This is not just expectation, it's simply unrealistic!
"Zhang Yang, you really are not kidding."

"No kidding." Zhang Yang smiled calmly: "I didn't drink alcohol, let alone take drugs. In fact, I think it can challenge the box office records of "Avatar" and "Titanic"."

boom!
One word stirred up a thousand waves.

Zhang Yang is absolutely crazy.

Even Xu Shanzheng and others thought so.

But the eyes of the media reporters present were red.

what is this?
This is a huge flow of traffic and enormous wealth!
"Arrogant, ignorant, and blindly conceited!"

After watching the "Live Interview Video of Zhang Yang" brought by Chen Hong, Chen Kaige shook his head and gave his evaluation.

One billion?

If he can reach 500 million, his name will be written backwards!

"This person has ruined himself. Don't bother with him anymore."

Chen Kaige stood up and walked towards his study.

He is in a good mood today and wants to practice calligraphy.

"Today's young people."

Zhang Yimou and Jiang Wen were caught by reporters for an interview.

When asked, they did not step on Zhang Yang, but replied: "It is a good thing for young people to have goals. Chinese films need such ambitions. I hope they can succeed."

That being said, everyone felt that they were implying that Zhang Yang was overambitious.

At least that's what the media said when they made their comments.

"Hahaha!"

Du Chun immediately called Li Cheng, Jia Naian, Huang Jue and Bao Jianfeng to gather together.

Only Bao Jianfeng made excuses for not coming. When he chose the right side, he did so because he blindly believed that Bian Xiaoxiao wanted the resources.

But he was not mentally ill and did not want to get involved with Du Chun and others, and he did not target his younger classmates.

"We don't have to do anything."

"I saw him building a tall building."

“I watched his building collapse.”

"Let's celebrate with some champagne."

If you knew this scene.

You will definitely laugh.

"Champagne at halftime."

“That’s bound to fail.”

"Besides, we opened with champagne."
