Chapter 452 Final Box Office (34)

Gao Xiaosong once wrote an article titled "If I were a woman and good-looking, this is how I would grow up..."

It's about using your own sexual resources to mate and level up...

—To be the mistress of a wealthy man in his forties or fifties, living a free, leisurely, and affluent life. The old man is experienced and sometimes tells me about the vast world and life, which is quite nice. He always says, "Tell me when you're ready to get married, and I'll help you find someone. Don't let anyone fool you. If they're reliable, I'll give you a dowry. A large dowry means you won't be bullied by your in-laws." The old man is kind; sometimes he gently strokes my hair. There's a touch of love in him, but he's not meant for me!

Ironically, this article was criticized by Xu Jinglei's fans...

I think he's mocking Xu Jinglei!
Later, Gao Xiaosong even went out of his way to apologize to Xu Jinglei…

Ha ha…

Wen Jiajia in "Finding Mr. Right" follows this path:

A beautiful young woman, while still young and beautiful, becomes a mistress, which not only hones her emotional intelligence but also fills her pockets.

Because of her beauty, strong personality, and restlessness, she gained an early understanding of social rules and unspoken rules, and was particularly daring in pursuing her goals, lacking a clear sense of right and wrong…

When the movie "Finding Mr. Right" was released, someone posted: If Wen Jiajia first met Frank, who would run several blocks to buy her soy milk and fried dough sticks every morning, and after a period of mundane daily life, she suddenly met Lao Zhong, who would take her on yacht trips and to French restaurants, and she would constantly receive handbags from him, then who would be the best man in the world in her eyes?
The order in which your life partner appears is very important. Meeting Lao Zhong first is like "Finding Mr. Right" (Beijing Meets Seattle), while meeting Frank first is like "Dwelling Narrowness" (a popular Chinese TV drama).
That makes a lot of sense...

"Finding Mr. Right" is not a fairytale romance, but a drama film with great realistic significance...

Of course, its essence is still love...

That's why it sells so well!

Let's continue talking about movies.

"The box office for 'American Dreams in China' has exceeded 16.5 billion yuan..."

"Yes, I know..."

Lu Yang: "I heard you turned down a lot of interviews?"

"...I've been busy working on my new album...but every move I make is under scrutiny," Shen Yan said, opening her phone. "Look, I invited members of a Korean girl group to film a music video, and then it trended on social media...just a picture of them eating..."

"Eating alone?"

"Yang Siwei is here, as are her agent and translator... This photo was taken so well that it perfectly excludes the other people!"

Rao Xiaozhi opened his phone and saw this trending topic: "This is too much!"

"That's normal. They've been secretly filming for so long, but they haven't found anything... so they have to make up some stories!"

When will the new album be released?

"It should be in June, and I'll be doing a tour then..."

When will The Martian be filmed?

"In August... after Guo Fan finishes filming 'Northeast Lover,' I'll film with him..."

Lu Yang said, "I plan to start filming 'Brotherhood of Blades' in August!"

"Sure... Have the actors been confirmed yet?"

"Brotherhood of Blades," Lu Yang's own project...

He initially wanted to write a modern drama—the story of three policemen.

But it definitely won't pass the review!
So the background was set in the late Ming Dynasty...

The plot of *Brotherhood of Blades* is simple: Emperor Chongzhen has just ascended the throne and intends to eliminate the eunuch faction led by Wei Zhongxian. To protect himself, Eunuch Zhao, the head of the Eastern Depot, exaggerates the imperial edict, intending to use three Imperial Guards to assassinate Wei Zhongxian. After the assassination attempt, the three Imperial Guards—Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian, and Jin Yichuan—also face political purges.

The reason for choosing Emperor Chongzhen is because this period of history is very unfortunate.

We have read the History of Ming and know that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to achieve something, but the country was already on the verge of collapse.

In such times, ordinary people try to fight against fate, but they are just tiny grains of sand, and even emperors are powerless to change the course of history.

It better highlights the helplessness of ordinary people in the course of history!

“I talked to Brother Jing… He thinks he could try Lu Jianxing. Shen Lian is too complicated a character… Why don’t you give it a try?” Shen Yan shook his head: “Ideally, someone around thirty years old would be best. I’m not good enough… Why don’t you try Deng Chao or Wen Zhang?”

"I heard he has a bad temper!"

"Then let's go with Deng Chao!"

"Okay... Jin Yichuan, I plan to use a newcomer!"

"Whatever... Actually, Zhu Yilong is not bad either... He's cheap and durable!"

"...Then let me ask."

Shen Yan waved his hand: "I'm just making a suggestion, use it or not..."

Well, the news about Wen Zhang's bad temper isn't news anymore...

The entertainment industry is fluid; people generally have a basic understanding of whether an actor's character is good or bad...

The article is indeed incredibly arrogant lately!
Last year I won the Golden Eagle Award and the Hundred Flowers Award…

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" ultimately grossed over 600 million yuan, and he successfully joined the ranks of first-tier film actors...

In the entire Chinese entertainment industry, he ranks among the top five!
What are your thoughts, Director Rao?

"...I'd like to bring 'Hello, Robbery' to the screen..."

"Hello, Robbery" is adapted from "Tropical Afternoon," which is based on a bank robbery case and depicts a hilarious standoff between a robber and the police after being trapped inside a bank on a hot summer afternoon due to an unexpected situation.

Shen Yan thought for a moment, then said, "Do you know 'The Never-Ending Game'?"

Rao Xiaozhi shook his head: "Is it a movie?"

"Yes, it's about a straightforward patrol officer who, following orders, plays the role of a robber in a riot drill, then gets so serious he completely gets into character... causing a lot of laughs!" Shen Yan continued, "I think we can adapt it. We could make the protagonist a retired military officer who works at a bank... straightforward and meticulous... One day, the bank receives a robbery drill assignment from the police. Everyone wants to just get it over with and go home early, but the protagonist takes the role of the 'robber' very seriously... Everyone thinks it's just a drill, a formality, but little did they know the protagonist had devised a complete plan..."

Lu Yang nodded: "This is interesting!"

“Right,” Shen Yan turned to Rao Xiaozhi and said, “Are you interested?”

"I...I'll go back and take a look at 'The Neverending Game'..."

"Yes, there's also the Korean version of 'Go with the Flow,' which is also an adaptation of 'Never Ending Game'..."

"it is good."

The group chatted for a while, and then they parted ways...

Finally, congratulations to Shen Yan on the phenomenal success of "American Dreams in China"...

……

As of March 18th, "American Dreams in China" had been in theaters for 37 days, holding the top spot at the box office for five weeks, with a cumulative box office of 16.52 billion yuan…

In week six, "Die Hard 5" was overtaken by "Upside Down" and "Resident Evil 5"...

It only grossed 1300 million at the box office in a single week…

Based on the box office trend, the final box office should stop at around 16.6 billion.

Daily box office revenue has dropped to less than one million, and the number of screenings has decreased to 3000...

But "American Dreams in China" is the undisputed box office champion in the mainland Chinese film market, dethroning "Avatar"!
Back at the hotel, Shen Yan posted a Weibo post: "American Dreams in China is about to be taken off the screens, and the box office results are very good... In fact, the box office of this movie is purely due to favorable timing and location. According to my prediction, it should be between 4 million and 6 million."

"I talked to a few friends, and the main reason is that the box office for the Spring Festival film season is large enough..."

"Thank you for the audience's tolerance and love, and thank you for your recognition and encouragement. I will continue to work hard. Also, the movie 'Finding Mr. Right' will be released the day after tomorrow. It's a very interesting movie. Please go to the cinema and decide for yourselves whether to criticize or encourage it."

"By the way, Park Jiyeon was recommended by my manager. She really likes T-ara, so she asked her to star in my music video. We had dinner together tonight, and there was a group of people, so why did they only film me and Park Jiyeon? That's too much... Aren't my manager, her manager, and the translator human beings?"
