Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 249 He feared his sisters would suffer, and he also feared they would fly Boeings.
On March 14th, Liu Shishi posted a picture of her morning exercise on Weibo early in the morning.

And congratulations to (Lucy) for taking in $1700 million at the box office in the US in its third week, bringing its total to $4800 million.

This is 3.84 million RMB.

After updating her status, Liu Shishi quickly ran to the large cafeteria on the first basement floor.

I plan to have breakfast before going to the airport to pick up Lao Li.

(Lucy) has been showing in China and South Korea for more than a month and a half.

The mainland has 4.92 million, which equals 6.12 million nationwide.

The Peninsula also accumulated HK$3.6 million in box office revenue, with 769 million admissions.

This data is so explosive that it's enough to make it onto any list of bragging rights.

Even though (Lucy) didn't dominate a long run of programming, it's already starting to be taken off the air.

There's no need for mainland China to rely on delaying figures to push for a box office of over 5 million.

This is fourth on the all-time Chinese film charts, which is quite high.

Such a great sci-fi blockbuster deserves its glory.

To Liu Shishi's surprise, as soon as she arrived at the cafeteria, she saw her secretary, Tang Yan, chatting and laughing with a girl.

The girl looked somewhat familiar.

She thought for several seconds before realizing, amidst the calls of "Senior Sister" from all around her, that this was Mao Xiaotong, a junior from the class of 05.

Xiao Liu can remember Mao Xiaotong.

It's not that the other person is particularly beautiful, nor that they signed a contract with Time Travel in advance.

Mao Xiaotong is still in the second semester of her freshman year, a complete novice.

Liu Shishi remembered the other person; it was the girl that Lao Li had mentioned, a representative of sweet girls.

Sweet girl??
Liu Shishi strode to the three-person dining table. As the group of "Big Secrets" quickly stood up to greet her, she smiled and said, "Xiaotong, what brings you to the Media Building? Are you signing a contract?"

Mao Xiaotong hurriedly and humbly stated that she hadn't reached that threshold yet.

I haven't received any offers to sign contracts or anything like that.

The secret agent excitedly explained, "Senior Sister, haven't you heard of a certain project? It was filmed in Japan, a Japanese drama similar to the one starring Qin Lan (2 Broke Girls)."

"However, this is a Japanese drama, so it requires a sweet and easy-going face."

"Tangtang is the first choice for the female lead, and she should be able to achieve top-tier national popularity."

"After all, this is Deng Chao's first time playing the male lead since My Love from the Star, Goblin, and Squid Game, and he also has to learn Japanese."

"I'm just curious, what does a sweet and easy-to-bully face look like? I'll call Xiaotong over to play with it."

During the excited commentary, the big secret agent almost wanted to paint Tang Yan's face with paint!

Is she the type who's sweet and easy to bully? Or is she the type who's had plastic surgery and is more aggressive?
If I had known, I would have refrained from saying so much.

Yang Mi is so envious she could cry.

A new big project, a TV series like "Drama King," one of which could be equivalent to several of her previous works like "Forensic Heroes" and "It Started With a Kiss."

She is now both afraid that her sisters are suffering and afraid that her sisters are flying Boeings.

Tang Yan is only the third female lead in Chinese Paladin 3.

Once you rush in, things will get really interesting; you might even be able to suppress her biggest secret.

Moreover, it has also caused a great stir in island nations like South Korea, as well as Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.

At least Deng Chao's Squid Game achieved considerable viewership ratings in the United States.

Liu Shishi suddenly realized, and patted her chief secretary's shoulder with disdain, "I know, this drama is good, it should be a hit, it's a pity you made yourself too glamorous."

"I feel that Huang Shengyi's pure and innocent image as the second-generation mute girl in Kung Fu Hustle could also be a good option."

"Old Huang's acting skills are much better than yours."

"Xiaotong has a sweet face, but her acting skills are quite poor, aren't they?"

Her acting skills have declined so much that she can no longer hold on.

However, Xiao Liu no longer has any enthusiasm or anticipation for ordinary drama kings.

One Goblin movie can sustain you for ten years!
After she complained a few more times and went to order breakfast.

The secret agent grabbed Tang Yan's wrist and said, "Tangtang, you have to keep going! Maybe when you become a huge star with your new drama, I'll be waiting for you to give me a boost."

My heart aches terribly, but I still have to maintain our friendship.

What if Tang Yan really does take off?
He has the right looks and temperament, but lacks acting skills, and filming is still a year and a half away.

Waiting for Deng Chao's Japanese?

Tang Yan will graduate from the Central Academy of Drama with a bachelor's degree in a few months!
The Central Academy of Drama used to be famous for producing actors.

Tang Yan was also in a daze, "I think besides acting skills, I also need to learn some Japanese to win, right? From Senior Brother Xiaoming to Sister Qin Lan and then to Guo Jingfei."

“Passing the English proficiency test is also a hurdle.”

She has some confidence in her acting skills.

Although that's a bit of an overestimation of myself.

But her standards for new Japanese skills are completely undefined.

Of course, this would be even more true if the competitors were all newbies like Mao Xiaotong.

Tang Yan's confidence grew even stronger!
The group chatted and laughed for a while, with Yang Mi mainly offering encouragement and support to Tang Yan on the surface.

Tang Yan was also encouraged by the motivational speech and became more and more confident.

In contrast, Mao Xiaotong was invited by Yang Mi to broaden his horizons.

To put it simply, Yang Mi was also a member of the 05 class of Beijing Film Academy, and was a classmate of Mao Xiaotong.

Even though the secret agent didn't spend much time back in the dormitory, it wasn't too unfamiliar.

Of course, Yang Mi only associates with popular celebrities, which suggests that she knew in advance that Mao Xiaotong might be a candidate for the female lead in a major drama like "The Winner Takes All".

Even if the probability is less than 1%, it doesn't stop her from making plans to go out and have fun in advance, investing in the opportunity beforehand.

Amidst the laughter and chatter, Liu Shishi returned with breakfast. "By the way, Sister Xuan's 'Huo Yuanjia' has been in theaters for over a week, and the box office and reviews are both quite good."

"I personally feel it's a bit dull, what do you guys think?"

Jet Li's (Fearless) was originally scheduled for release in late January, aiming for the Lunar New Year holiday season.

However, the competition for blockbuster films in this dimension is too fierce.

With the arrival of sci-fi blockbusters like Hero 2, If You Are the One, King Kong, and Lucy, the momentum is strong.

The release of "Fearless" has been delayed until March 3rd, which is a true off-season.

Even though it's the off-season, with Jet Li's influence, he still manages to do some roadshows on weekends.

(Fearless) grossed 1900 million yuan in its opening weekend and 3600 million yuan in its second week.

After all, both "Lucy" and "If You Are the One" have been pulled from theaters on a large scale, reducing their screenings.

With the number of screenings for "Fearless" increasing, the box office performance over the weekend was quite good.

With a box office of 5500 million RMB in two weeks and an opening score of 7.8 on Douban.

It's truly a top-notch action movie.

Of course, this version has investment from China Film Group and Tencent, and the female lead is still Dong Xuan.

When asked which version to release, Old Li casually remarked, "Let's go straight for the 140-minute version."

Even though watching a 140-minute film in a movie theater might seem dull, it's still worth it.

The number of screenings will be reduced by some each day.

However, the Huo Yuanjia movie received good reviews from the start.

The film, which lacked the original 104 minutes, earned some box office revenue upon its initial release, but was also met with a barrage of criticism.

Originally 104 points, from Huo Yuanjia's fierce fight that killed Master Qin, to Master Qin's disciple killing Huo Yuanjia's mother and daughter in revenge.

It took Huo Yuanjia about ten minutes to recover from the shock of his mother and daughter's tragic deaths.

Then, he left his cramped mountain village, returned to Tianjin, and stood on the martial arts stage, etc., all in less than 20 minutes.

The portrayal of the character's transformation is too superficial.

Huo Yuanjia is a protagonist who transforms from a brave and fierce person into someone who understands the Tao through martial arts.

The portrayal of Huo Yuanjia as a martial arts master who uses force to stop war is superficial. The 140-minute version is different. It features a full 40 minutes of dramatic scenes and performances, from the deaths of Huo Yuanjia's mother and daughter to his return to Tianjin after leaving the mountain village.

For viewers who went to see the movie because of Jet Li's martial arts action, it will definitely feel drawn out.

However, in the drawn-out narrative, the brave and aggressive young man experiences the tragic death of his loved ones because of his aggression, causing a complete mental breakdown and turning him into a walking corpse.

He was warmed by the villagers in the mountain village and regained the courage to live.

Then came the transformation into a master of dramatic acting.

This makes it much fuller and more profound.

Then, they used force to stop the fighting, defeating the Russian strongman and making him completely convinced of their superiority.

In the end, Huo Yuanjia fought against four powerful masters, and they were all convinced of Huo Yuanjia's martial arts spirit.

Overall, this film is quite didactic.

But it is also a complete, smooth, and well-made blockbuster in the style of Jet Li.

Combined with the opening scene, which is a modern drama about kung fu's bid for the Olympics.

Kung Fu and martial arts are not about fighting and defeating many opponents, but about self-improvement and overcoming oneself.

This also allowed Ah-Jie's new image to emerge during the off-season for movies in March.

The drama transitions over nearly 40 minutes, and Dong Xuan, who plays the female lead, has a very heavy screen time.

She didn't do many promotional tours; on the 10th, she flew with Lao Li to the Peninsula to play a minor role.

However, Huo Yuanjia's small-scale success in theaters has made Dong Xuan's title as one of the Four Great Actresses even more solid and secure.

Upon hearing Xiao Liu's words, Da Mi Mi almost cried with envy, "Xuan Jie's masterpieces have never failed her."

"Huo Yuanjia looks pretty good, very handsome. When will he be the best in Tianjin?"

"And this punch of mine has the power of 20 years of skill. Can you withstand it? How domineering!"

"Brother Jie is a good actor. He was extremely fierce in the first half of the film, but in the second half he showed the mastery of Wong Fei-hung. These are scripts that Sister Xuan just picked at random."

What the big secret is that Dong Xuan's casual acting is basically her representative work.

It has never lost money at the box office, nor has it lost in terms of reputation.

Among the four leading actresses, she and Gao Yuanyuan represent two different styles!
Da Meiyuan is an action star who has risen to international superstar status.

Dong Xuan is definitely worth praising; everything she produces is top-notch.

This is not the same as the "Queen of Bad Movies" (Zhang Ziyi) or the "International Zhang" (Zhang Ziyi) whose popularity fluctuates.

Of course, due to the butterfly effect of Lao Li, Zhang Ziyi's image suffered a blow, except for her scandal with Jackie Chan.

But since then, she has been involved in a scandal involving a very extravagant and frivolous relationship with a wealthy white foreign man.

Neither the ink-breaking incident nor the fraudulent donations occurred.

There are no memoirs of geishas, ​​and they've been criticized as internationally dirty.

Overall, her public image is much cleaner.

Even so, among the four leading actresses, Dong Xuan has the best reputation without exception.

Her public image also far surpasses that of the other three leading actresses.

Even though she's a big beauty, many fans still hold onto her past as a mistress and often worry about her.

I don't know how many people have reminded me that Fat Ice, the beautiful and charming woman, isn't as pure and pretty as she looks.

Be careful of your home being robbed or something.

Mao Xiaotong was also drooling with envy, "Senior Sister, Sister Xuan is so amazing, what's her next project? Can you give us a sneak peek so we can all be envious?"

Liu Shishi laughed, “(The Missing Lover) is the female lead in the book, which was published in December 2004 and has now sold millions of copies.”

"We'll start filming again once Sister Bingbing finishes directing the first season of The Voice of China."

"This is Xuan Jie's representative work that has once again swept through China's five major film festivals."

Mao Xiaotong, "..."

Tang Yan, “…”

Yang Mi suppressed the urge to vomit blood as she looked at Liu Shishi. She knew that 2006, the Year of the Dog, belonged to Liu Shishi.

It doesn't have to be that flashy, does it? When she mentioned attending all five major film festivals, she didn't mention herself.

But her demeanor and tone were as if she was just waiting for everyone to praise her for being just as awesome!
Why doesn't Sister Bingbing come and beat this little waist beauty to death?
Dong Xuan has many commercially successful films, but she's also quite strong at winning awards.

Her performance in "A World Without Thieves" earned her multiple Best Actress nominations.

It was simply that she lost to Fan Bingbing's other works in the same year, while Fan Bingbing swept several Best Actress awards.

Anyone in the Chinese entertainment industry knows that losing to Fan Bingbing is no mistake.

That's absolutely correct.

The Hundred Flowers Awards, Golden Rooster Awards, Huabiao Awards, Hong Kong Film Awards, and Golden Horse Awards only have nominations.

However, Dong Xuan also won minor awards such as the Best Actress Award at the Chinese Film Media Awards for her role in "A World Without Thieves".

After finishing her delicious meal while still showing off, Liu Shishi happily went to pick up the customer at the airport.

After indulging in delicious food, you need to work out intensely to achieve the perfect weight loss.

After Xiao Liu ran away.

Yang Mi endured the pain and ate another tea egg, complaining, "Xiao Tong, now your name has caught the boss's attention. Who knows, you might become famous through connections someday."

"Bring out your sweet charm to the fullest."

"From now on, we can't let someone as slender as Shishi be the only one to be proud in the industry."

Mao Xiaotong nearly choked to death, coughing loudly and scratching the soles of her shoes with her toes.

Tang Yan's eyes lit up. "So, does that mean I'm one of the sweet girls? How did the boss know what's sweet about me?"

…………

On March 16, after a short rest in Beijing.

Old Li and Xiao Tong and others have already embarked on their journey to Hong Kong Island.

This time, not only will we finish filming (Before I Met You), but we'll also make an appearance at the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony in early April.

Inside the first-class cabin of the chartered passenger plane.

Liu Shishi looked excited. "What's fun to do on Hong Kong Island? I used to watch a lot of Hong Kong movies."

"I haven't been here much, and even if I did come, I wouldn't have had a chance to go shopping."

She used to come here occasionally, just to practice her skills in a hotel or villa.

The feeling was no different from being in Beijing or Shanghai.

Tong Liya chuckled and said, "I feel similar to you, but this time, even though I was just out shopping openly, I got photographed while filming a movie."

"Could this also be explained by film and television collaborations?"

Old Li said, half-laughing and half-crying, "It's better not to get carried away."

Dong Xuan leaned closer and said, "I'm just here for a quick scoop. It's pretty ridiculous how they block out news in the entertainment industry. I can understand Hua Ge's girlfriend who's been out of the public eye for years."

"How did Ah Sa from Twins get married? That's outrageous."

"If I weren't so well-informed, I would have been shocked by this for half an hour too."

The butterfly effect that Lao Li stirred up is huge, but it's not enough to affect Twins.

The two men and women in the Hong Kong Island circle still secretly married, just like in the original story.

We got our marriage certificate in the United States this January.

The news is spreading, and there are many onlookers.

Twins' status and influence in the industry are now less than one-tenth of what they used to be.

Any one of the Eight Beauties of Time would be a far greater star than them in the Chinese film and television industry.

Not to mention Jiang Qinqin, who became a sensation thanks to "The Temptation of Going Home".

Zhang Ziyi also has a new role in three episodes of The Big Bang Theory, and she became an international sensation for a few days.

However, among the new generation of Hong Kong entertainment stars, Twins are second only to Angie Chiu among female stars.

Old Li was speechless. This is nothing, it's already 2006!
Tong Liya and Liu Shishi were also excited and started gossiping about the topic.
