Chapter 234 Blind Sister Discovers Her Acting Skills Have Plummeted [Please Subscribe]

October 31st, Halloween.

Jeon Ji-hyun made another surprise appearance at the Media Building. After having a good time eating and drinking at the pool on the 14th floor, she lazily said, "I finished filming 'The Mischievous Princess' in three months."

"I received several million RMB in film remuneration, but I still lost money."

"If I take on a script after 1988 and John Wick 2, the pay for this film could double."

After a brief complaint, Xiao Quan stopped caring.

Sipping her herbal tea, she excitedly started gossiping, "Is Stephen Chow's character going to collaborate with the John Wick series?"

"If you make it into the game alive, then we'll have a fast-paced prequel."

"Wouldn't that mean you and Sister Yuanyuan could make a romance movie together?"

Old Li, “…”

He was a little speechless.

Dae-mi-won is really not interested in when filming (John Wick 3) will start.

Practicing throwing knives, horseback riding, swordsmanship, and so on, it was only when Old Li personally sparred with her that she became so enthusiastic.

In John Wick 3, for example, there's a scene where the female lead rides a horse through a night market and engages in a gunfight with the villain on a motorcycle.

Learning horseback riding skills is easy in the capital city, as there are suitable venues.

She often pestered Lao Li to go with her and asked him to be her coach.

We made a simple agreement the day before yesterday that (minor characters) could interact quickly?
Da Meiyuan got excited and took the initiative to discuss making a prequel.

The prequel doesn't tell the story of how the beautiful woman went from a rookie to a super killer.

Instead, it's about how she found love and wanted to retire from the assassin world to live a simple life with the male protagonist.

(The minor character) is set several years ago.

There's no need for Lao Li to make a cameo appearance the day after the male lead is robbed, mocking the male lead for being useless, and then have Da Meiyuan appear in the scene with him.

But the filming was already finished.

Let's get the subtitles up and include an Easter egg.

For example, the minor male protagonist kills all his underlings who came to his house to wipe out his entire family.

Before leaving, he set his house on fire.

The Easter egg could be a cameo appearance by Li Wenyu as the male neighbor, appearing alongside Da Meiyuan.

They complained that their neighbor was crazy, asking how their house could have been burned down and how they could no longer find anyone.

Moreover, the other party also stole and drove away his sports car.

Da Meiyuan, like a virtuous wife and loving mother, advised him to take it easy.

If we really do set up an Easter egg like that.

A series of new-style, high-octane action films have joined forces.

Even Quan Zhixian is gossiping now, so what can Lao Li say?

The Marvel Cinematic Universe in Hollywood is also interconnected in this way.

A series of interconnected IPs eventually came together to form the Avengers mega-project, with Avengers: Endgame grossing 202.99 billion RMB worldwide.

Before Old Li could say anything, Liu Shishi walked in with a complicated expression.

She quickly jumped into the water and showed off her swimming skills, then timidly asked, "Senior, why do I feel like my acting skills have suddenly dropped?"

“I’ve been rehearsing for a play recently, and although no one has said anything, everyone around me is praising me.”

“I can still feel that my performance is far inferior to that of the hearing girl during the filming.”

Why can I sense this?
She often finds herself unable to keep up with her co-stars' strong performances.

When she used to work in the drama club, her partners during her training were all actors with an acting score of 60 or higher.

Since the huge success of "Hearing," for example, during the week of October 24th to 30th, it accumulated another 35 million yuan in box office revenue in mainland China.

That's equivalent to 2.12 million in mainland China, meaning a single film in mainland China has broken the 2 million mark.

It's worth noting that in the summer of 02, the film "The Tuner" only grossed 2.3 million RMB in mainland China.

The accumulation of a summer movie season.

Li Jiaxin's role in "Exit" after "My Love from the Star" grossed 2.21 million RMB in mainland China.

Even if this is the culmination of accumulated experience from repeated reruns of the Goblin series.

I've seen Liu Shishi's performance in (Hearing Girl). During the rehearsals for the play, she was basically acting opposite actors whose age started in the 8s.

Before the performance began, many veteran actors and actresses were worried that they wouldn't be able to keep up with Xiao Liu's acting skills.

Is it really open?

Countless people who mingle in social circles have high emotional intelligence.

This was during the era when Xiao Liu dominated the movie theaters in October.

Without any other blockbusters competing with it, (The Hearing Girl) easily surpassed the box office figures of Extreme Escape and The Tuner after two more weeks of screenings.

After all, from September 30th to today, October 31st, it has only been five weeks since the hearing aid program began.

When you become incredibly popular, everyone around you is trying to flatter you with high emotional intelligence.

Even if Liu Shishi was blind, she knew that she herself couldn't keep up with other people's performances!

Li Wenyu chuckled and said, "It's okay. It's just that the explosive box office success has made you a little complacent, and you can't calm yourself down completely."

"It'll be fine in a while."

"The difference between a person being fully focused on doing one thing and doing things half-heartedly or with random thoughts."

"Being able to contribute is a completely different thing."

Let's continue to fool people.

Xiao Liu quickly cleared his mind as well.

She had been on the bus for less than six months, which was the period when she was at her most inexperienced and loved to play.

After filming wrapped on "The Hearing Girl," Xiao Liu resumed her skin whitening and moisturizing routine.

Use the most expensive and best prescription, tailored to her individual constitution.

Old Li also provided financial assistance.

She's almost as fair and supple as Fan Bingbing, and she's never afraid to lose in group photos.

…………

In November 2005, in the realm of television dramas...

The second season of The Big Bang Theory is gradually coming to an end.

And reruns of "Bright Sword" still dominate the Chinese small screen.

The (Teddy Bear) team, led by He Qing, flew to the United States to begin filming, with Stephen Chow, Jiang Shuying, and Tang Wei making cameo appearances.

Among the major film projects in theaters, "The Hearing Girl" accumulated a total box office of 2.41 million yuan in mainland China before it was completely taken off the screens, plus 5100 million yuan in Hong Kong.

The total amount is 2.92 million RMB nationwide.

This movie was also released in the United States, but the publicity and distribution were mediocre, with little effort and little budget.

It only grossed a little over 200 million US dollars in the first and second weeks combined.

With these results and market trends? Both Columbia and Warner, who bought the distribution rights, lost money.

No major problem. This is a stepping stone for two major studios to buy the remake rights and fulfill their promise to win the Golden Globe and Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Whether the original release makes a profit or a loss is not important; the remake is the key.

November 16th is the Lower Yuan Festival, an auspicious day for weddings and moving into a new house.

Li Wenyu was on the phone when his secretary ushered Megan Fox into the room.

This is a report following Megan's return to the screen after filming the first season of "How I Met Your Mother" with Guo Jingfei.

The main reason was that the other party, in order to show their loyalty and not switch jobs, took the initiative to reject the lead actress in Transformers.

That's a Hollywood A-list production!

Even if this kind of big A has a sequel series, and may sign a contract in advance to increase her salary or offer a discount, it can easily help her reach the seven-figure salary level.

In contrast, How I Met Your Mother's first season maintained a stable viewership of 900 million.

The price per episode started at tens of thousands of dollars in the first season and has remained stable at tens of thousands of dollars per episode for many seasons.

Old Li also plans to have a heart-to-heart talk with her and reward her properly after she returns.

Li Wenyu gestured to Megan with his eyes and gestures, telling her to go to the water bar and find something to drink herself, and then continued the call for two more minutes before hanging up.

Then he made a silent discovery.

Megan walked to the side of his main desk. "Boss, if I'm good and obedient, will you reward me by rehearsing a 10-minute pure love scene with me?"

The woman in question is a mixed-race woman who was once named the world's most beautiful woman in 2008 by FHM magazine.

She spun around, her little waist swaying.

The tight skirt automatically rides up.

Old Li saluted on the spot.

He forced back his bewilderment and complained, "I can understand you tattooing my name on your lower abdomen, but why the tattoo on your Huiyang acupoint... wait, is it a temporary tattoo??"

It's fine if the temporary tattoos can be washed off. What's baffling is whether this one specifically features the three characters "Li Wenyu," or if Meghan herself picked it out from among the Chinese character temporary tattoos?

As she twirled, the hem of her tight-fitting skirt rose.

The prominent Huiyang and Changqiang areas make it impossible to miss the layout of the new house.

High-definition photos showcasing beautiful images.

There's also Old Li's name nearby; they clearly don't take him, the boss, seriously at all.

Megan bent over and turned back with a smile, "I read in a traditional Chinese medicine clinic that acupuncture and massage on certain acupoints can treat hemorrhoids and abdominal ailments."

"Boss, I was 17 when I first met you, and I'm 19 now."

"If you don't serve me now, someone else will benefit from it sooner or later. Are you willing to waste it like this?"

Li Wenyu took a deep breath.

The iconic scene from Transformers 1 where he bends over to fix a car, showing off his waist.

It's so weak compared to now!

Megan winked at him and said, "Boss, you can't even afford to rehearse a ten-minute pure love scene audition, can you?"

…………

It turns out.

Old Li and Megan talked briefly for three hours before the audition for the love scene ended.

This was because less than half an hour into the conversation, Fat Bing barged into the president's office.

Filming for "Lucy" wrapped up on October 16th. Bing spent a month completing post-production and is now just waiting for Industrial Light & Magic to finish the special effects.

Waiting for the final cut with some special effects.

She came here originally to inquire about some normal film and television project collaborations.

They discovered that Old Li was helping Megan open her eyes in the lounge.

He smoothly took over Lao Li's work process.

When Lao Li walked out of the lounge with a cup of iced tea, Pang Bing couldn't help but sneer, "This American girl sings even more provocatively than Alexandra."

"You're something else, haven't you? It's been exactly six months since you started eating Xiao Liu's food? Are you using this as an anniversary?"

Old Li was speechless.

He can't exactly say he was provoked by a little bit of reverse psychology, can he?
Ultimately, it comes down to his lack of self-control.

Fat Bing laughed again, "It's alright. Alexandra and Quan Zhixian have both gone back to their respective homes and are working on their own projects."

"Having another new house will just make you less enthusiastic when you argue with me."

Alexandra is still somewhat career-minded.

She debuted as a singer, but didn't have the years of experience that Taylor Swift had accumulated.

Therefore, the two Billboard number one and number two singles can only break into the top ten at most.

The top ten can also be considered as representatives to debut.

While filming (2 Broke Girls), she spent money to collect songs from the European and American music scene, planning to put together a big album.

I come to China once every two months.

Jeon Ji-hyun took a break for more than a week after filming (The Mischievous Princess).

He went back to South Korea to work on projects and put together scripts for "The Legend of the Blue Sea" and "Descendants of the Sun".

Old Li only provided the outline, so all the details of the script had to be put together.

It takes time to develop the characters, both main and supporting, and to flesh out their personalities.

Fat Bing didn't care at all about Lao Li having a new recruit every year or so.

Although in 2005, two women got married, one named Shishi and the other Meghan.
Megan regularly flies to the US every year to film sitcoms, a practice that has lasted for about ten years.

This is just traditional American fast food, so she doesn't care.

At the celebration party for Kung Fu 2 more than two months ago, Megan, this American girl, asked her in front of her.

Should we eat her to liven things up during the celebration banquet?

Fat Bing took a sip of her herbal tea and waved her hand dismissively, "If I weren't here, your Little Shishi or Little Tong would have already come over to freeload, and it would have been a complete mess."

"You go and handle it yourself and tell them to stop causing trouble."

"By the way, Hollywood is really awful. My friend Qing told me that someone maliciously drugged her, and it's addictive."

"It was Warner Bros. Pictures who stopped it. Is this because your reputation as a medical aesthetics expert has been affected?"

Others, such as Huang Xiaoming and Qin Hao, have worked in Hollywood.

Some people also tempt them to become drug addicts and smoke cigarettes.

This includes situations where someone gets drunk and starts having fun, and before they know it, something is delivered right to their door.

But if you explicitly refuse, they won't force you to buy a package deal.

Li Wenyu pondered for a few seconds, "I'll go check it out, it's a protracted war."

Would Warner Bros. Movies really be that kind? Or is it just a matter of money?

Old Li explicitly stated that if a Chinese celebrity touches those things, it's equivalent to dying in the mainland market.

A big project comparable to The Hangover, with the female lead, might lead to a sequel?

Losing a large market would result in huge losses.

This is similar to the fireworks show arranged by SoftBank, which he encountered in a secondary vehicle.

There was also the incident of drugs being added to food at a large hotel's buffet restaurant.

Just keep playing as you go.

As long as Warner provides specific targets, they can scrape information from the internet and via wires.

He took a few mobile phones for work and personal use with him when he went out.

Twenty minutes after Lao Li left.

Megan Fox walked out with an awkward laugh, bowed and gave a salute to Fat Bingmi, "Good afternoon, Sister Bingbing. You are so lucky to enjoy your senior brother's respect of more than 20 points every day."

"I'll leave after the New Year; I won't take more than my share."

Fat Bing leaned back in his office chair, twirling a pen in his hand as he glanced at Megan. "Have you settled in?"

Megan's smile became even more humble, "My senior's medical skills are truly amazing."

"Traditional Chinese medicine relieves pain by pressing acupoints, and Chinese medicine combined with massage and manipulation removes blood stasis and reduces swelling. It's amazing."

Fat Bing nodded, "You can practice some fighting moves when you have free time. John Woo-jin 3 is still missing some female fighters to spar with and interact with Yuan Yuan."

In Chase 1, Zhang Bozhi and Zhang Ziyi both made cameo appearances as action heroines.

It doesn't matter if one dies.

In the second part, Quan Zhixian is the one who fights the most fiercely after taking over.

The third installment, featuring various close-quarters combat and duels, should also be included.

Fortunately, the Time Series has no shortage of flowers of all sizes.

Megan's eyes lit up, and she gracefully walked over, pulling her skirt up. "Thank you, boss lady. Fast & Furious 2 has a global budget of $3.29 million."

"If the third installment is followed by another one, it will be a Hollywood-level A-list production."

John Wick 2 remains the third highest-grossing film in Chinese film history.

It grossed 5.33 million RMB in mainland China, second only to Kung Fu Hustle 2 and Dying to Survive.

But its global performance far surpasses the latter.

The US received $1.02 million, while Europe, Brazil, Egypt, Russia, and other countries contributed a total of $9700 million.

Regardless of whether it's the US Rotten Tomatoes freshness rating or the popcorn factor.

Then there's the version of Renren Film Review, which is both inside and outside the Great Firewall of China, and it received rave reviews.

At least in Megan's mind, the promise of this project was more tempting than the lead role in Transformers.

This doesn't mean that Transformers won't gross $3 million worldwide!

Meghan wouldn't be surprised if Transformers Global received $500 million.

After all, there are too many examples, such as Jurassic Park, the Spider-Man series, Lord of the Rings, and X-Men.

She knew perfectly well that the only true protagonists of Transformers were the Autobots and Decepticons.

Compared to the human protagonists and the Autobots/Decepticons, the human protagonists are far too insignificant.

She didn't expect that she would spend more than three hours rehearsing and discussing the pure love scene with her senior brother Li in several sessions.

The harvest will be so great and such a pleasant surprise.

Fat Bing scrutinized Megan a few more times. "We have too many fair-skinned people in our family. Your wheat-colored skin is quite novel."

"Even if you have mixed heritage and try to whiten your skin, it's hard to achieve a significant change, right?"

This seems to be at most enough to make skin smooth, moisturized, and elastic.

Megan paused for a few seconds, then nodded. "I think that's how it is."
