Chapter 339 The Power of Hollywood (34)

Shen Yan was actually quite worried about Da Tian Tian…

Because Cheon Song-yi is a bit flirtatious.

Narcissistic and with an extremely strong sense of superiority...

This kind of personality is actually quite annoying...

Narcissistic, uncultured, lacking manners, materialistic, casually enters other people's homes, breaks their belongings without any remorse, and doesn't consider himself an outsider at all...

These are all drawbacks!

Of course, she also has her good points: she's adorably silly and oblivious...

Most importantly, she has a vampire mother—her mother is completely indifferent to her daughter's whereabouts and only knows how to borrow money to spend. When having tea with her girlfriends, they are all discussing what dramas their junior, Cheon Song-yi, has recently starred in and where she is currently filming, but her mother has no idea what her daughter has been up to lately;

With a mother like that as a foil, Cheon Song-yi seems much cuter.

Shen Yan then added, "The story is set in a fictional world. Actually, I originally wanted to make it a Sino-Korean co-production... but I couldn't stand the dubbing..."

"I don't like watching the dubbed version either... I feel like the lip movements don't match at all!"

"Although it's an idol drama, I still hope everyone takes it seriously. Let's strive to make it a benchmark for idol dramas..." Shen Yan raised his glass: "Come on, let's have a drink!"

It definitely has to be a fictional setting…

Otherwise, you have no way of explaining how a female star (Han Yoo-ra) who could rival the most popular actresses could be so easily killed by the eldest son of a conglomerate (Lee Jae-kyung).

And subsequently, several police officers and witnesses involved in the investigation were also killed one after another.

This is simply impossible in China!
As for why no one discusses these things about the original "My Love from the Star"...

Because everyone knows this is very typical of South Korea—Han Yoo-ra had a suicide note forged and was diagnosed with depression, which can be conveniently blamed on Cheon Song-yi.

Just like Sulli blamed cyberbullying...

In essence, "My Love from the Star" is still a domineering CEO romance drama, except that the domineering CEO is an alien who has lived for four hundred years...

Don't get too hung up on the logic!

If you're trying to be logical, this doesn't make sense at all—if you went to Mars and met a very beautiful female gorilla, although her intelligence was a bit lower than yours, she was the most beautiful of all the female gorillas on Mars, would you fall in love with her?
You definitely wouldn't, because no matter how beautiful she is, she's still a gorilla!
How can people from different species fall in love?
To make it more believable that Do Myung-joon would fall in love with Cheon Song-yi, a past life romance was added...

In terms of the story's premise: once you accept the fact that you have to leave in three months, you'll definitely want to know: after three months, will the couple stay together, or will the male protagonist resolutely abandon his love and go to a distant star alone?

This is also the motivation for watching the series.

Shen Yan's acting was flawless, perfectly capturing the essence of Du Mingjun...

He's just playing a cold-faced character!

There's not much to analyze about this character...

In terms of both his personal qualities and his career path, he is almost perfect: he is rich, owns a house, is educated, has superpowers but is very kind, and after falling in love with the female lead, he is always by her side, ready to serve her and acting as her protector. Most importantly, he is handsome!

Just keep a straight face during the performance...

The reason for making this show... is actually just for popularity!
There's nothing wrong with admitting it; Yan Ge also needs popularity. With four EXO members returning to China to pursue their careers in a year, the era of internet celebrity (or "traffic star") will officially begin…

You have to become a top star before them…

And it's the kind with a solid foundation!
The next day, filming for "My Love from the Star" officially began...

……

"Titanic is so awesome..."

Did you go see it?

"I haven't seen it..." "Then I'll go to Hengdian in a couple of days, and we can watch it together?"

In the hotel room, Shen Yan is on the phone with Shi Shi…

Although Yan Ge couldn't be completely devoted to Shi Shi, he always kept her in his heart and would call her two or three times a week!
We exchanged information about everyday matters.

You've come to Hengdian?

"Several scenes from 'My Love from the Star' need to be filmed in Hengdian..."

Shi Shi on the other end of the phone hummed in agreement, then asked, "How's Jing Tian's acting?"

Shen Yan thought for a moment, then said, "It's alright, not quite what I imagined, but she has her own feelings about it..."

"What do you imagine?"

"Yes, I modeled Cheon Song-yi after Zhang Ziyi..."

Shi Shi suppressed a laugh: "Then why didn't you invite Zhang Ziyi to act in it?"

“This is an idol drama… If I were to invite Zhang Ziyi… it would cost at least 3000 million!” After a pause, Shen Yan added, “Besides, I don’t like her.”

Shi Shi said, "I don't like her either. I feel she's overly opportunistic..."

"Perhaps I've been in the US for too long and gotten used to the world of fame and fortune there..."

"Hollywood Vanity Fair?"

"It's either you lick my toes, or I lick yours... It's all about sucking up to the powerful and stepping on the weak; there's no middle ground, and without that, there's no room for warmth and kindness... This kind of person is actually quite pitiful... It's hard for her to find someone who truly cares for her..."

The two chatted for a long time before hanging up the phone…

Shen Yan turned on his computer and checked the box office figures for "Titanic"...

Wow, it was released on Monday, April 9th, and only had 1800 screenings on its opening day, yet it still grossed 946 million!
On April 14th, which was yesterday, the daily box office exceeded 4 million yuan.
As of today, after 7 days of release, the cumulative box office has reached 4.68 million yuan!
It set a new box office record for the opening week of a film in mainland China.

The previous release, *Transformers 3*, opened on Thursday and grossed approximately 400 million yuan in its first four days. James Cameron's other film, *Avatar*, grossed 2.89 million yuan in its opening seven days…

In comparison, Titanic 3D's box office in North America over 10 days was only about half of its box office in China over 6 days!
That's right, the re-release of "Titanic 3D" performed poorly in North America...

In fact, most of the market for this global re-release of "Titanic" was in China—the Chinese market grossed nearly 9.5 million yuan, accounting for more than half of the global box office!

The overwhelming success of "Titanic" siphoned off most of the box office revenue, leaving "The Telephone" with only 1300 million in its fourth week of release...

But that's already quite good, considering that it had already grossed 3.65 million yuan before the release of "Titanic".

The worst case was "Love in the Buff"—it grossed 50 million yuan in 9 days and had a high chance of breaking 100 million, but then its trajectory was abruptly cut short by "Titanic"...

The estimated final box office is a maximum of 6500 million!
Two other imported films, "Miami Operation" and "New York Operation," were completely silenced by the crackdown...

That's not all. There's also Donglai Dongwang, I don't know if you've heard of him, an early online singer, whose representative works include "Don't Say My Tears Don't Matter to You" and "Even Crying Is My Fault"... During the release of "Titanic," the movie he starred in, "Love on a Deserted Island," was also released...

The female lead was Cao Xiwen... and then the box office was a disaster.

The box office revenue did not reach 400 million.

Then, Donglai and Dongwang bid farewell to the film industry completely...

孽 孽!
It completely destroyed someone's dream of becoming an actor.

If it were just "Titanic"... the pressure wouldn't be that great; the attention a movie can garner is always limited...

Then, on April 18th, *Battleship* was released, and on April 20th, *Ghost Rider: Time of Vengeance* was released…

These three films firmly dominated over 95% of the box office share…
