Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 258 The positions of the Eight Beauties of Time are not enough again.

after a while.

After seeing Brother Ma off, Old Li saw Fatty Bing walk in carrying a stack of bound A4 papers and said with a smile, "Brother Yu, the film and television adaptation rights for the novel 'Sky of Love' are all set."

"Our prices are twice as high as those of Japanese film and television groups, but it's still a small amount of money."

"If you've chosen this novel, it must be at least as good as Ghost Blows Out the Light, right?"

Old Li started working on (The Winner Takes All) in 04 to have Deng Chao learn Japanese.

This included having Lao Deng learn Stephen Chow's comedic performance style.

I also set my sights on this project when Ghost Blows Out the Light was first serialized on Tianya at the beginning of the year.

This includes having Liu Yifei prepare early for the role of the second female lead in Ghost Blows Out the Light.

Xiao Tong is constantly working on projects, and his third film as director will be a science fiction film.

Therefore, he will not forget another blockbuster film in which Yui Aragaki became the nation's first love.

This is a romance novel (Koizora) that was serialized on a Japanese novel website at the end of 2005 and published in October 2006.

Since its serialization began in 05, it has gradually accumulated considerable popularity and clicks.

This period is similar in nature to the best-selling novels on dating websites in mainland China.

No, Koizora is more like a bestselling novel on Jinjiang Literature City, similar to Pizi Cai's "The First Intimate Contact".

The female lead and the male lead fall in love, have a miscarriage, and are dumped. Then, she meets a kind-hearted second male lead who pursues her for a long time.

It turns out the male lead dumped the female lead because he had cancer, and the female lead went back to find the male lead's package deal.

At first glance, this movie seems quite graphic, but in reality, there isn't a single direct kissing scene throughout the entire film.

It's like lying on a boat, then darkness falls, or something like that.

Then the scene shifts to the female lead being pushed down by thugs, struggling briefly before the scene goes dark.

The themes lean towards explicit content, but they are all just fleeting glimpses of pure love in these films.

It was first published as a comic book in 06, followed by a live-action movie and a TV series.

Yui Aragaki starred as the lead actress in Koizora in 07, which grossed 39 billion yen at the Japanese box office.

It ranked sixth in the 2007 Japanese box office rankings.

It doesn't seem like much, but the problem is before the bombing of the movie "The Great Bombing" starring Yui Aragaki.

This is still considered a seventh or eighth-tier celebrity in the Japanese entertainment industry!
This boost to Yui Aragaki is comparable to that of Kung Fu Hustle and Huang Shengyi.

A movie relies on online popularity, box office revenue, and the sweet smile of Yui Aragaki.

She's instantly become the nation's first love!
(Koizora), (The Winner Takes All), (Escape is Shameful but Useful) and videos from the boyfriend's perspective spread like wildfire.

This is the near-complete form of Yui Aragaki's rise to become the national wife of Japan and the national wife of East Asia.

The more you try to get freebies, the more addictive it becomes.

As Lao Li got up to feed Pang Bing a zongzi (sticky rice dumpling), he laughed and said, "Once the copyright is settled, we'll put it aside for now and wait until Mao Xiaotong finishes filming the first season of (The Winner Takes All) before talking about the movie."

Fat Bing was slightly taken aback. "Is it really decided? That makes sense. I begged you to take action yourself."

"Even if Xiaotong is rotten wood, she can be transformed into a piece of jade."

Following closely behind, Fatty Bing ate zongzi while laughing, "Once Liu Yifei and Mao Xiaotong rise to prominence, there won't be enough spots for the Eight Beauties of Time."

"Will Little Yang Mi be able to sing the 'Twelve Beauties' song again next time?"

The Dream of the Red Chamber features the Twelve Beauties.

At most, it will become twelve beauties instead of eight, just missing the character "gold".

Fortunately, young actors like Jin Dong, Wang Kai, Hu Ge, Guo Jingfei, Wang Chuanjun, and Zhu Yawen didn't act that way.

Zhu Yawen is currently filming (Soldiers Sortie), which will undoubtedly boost his career.

Whether it's (The Legend of the Blue Sea) or (Descendants of the Sun).

Including "Crash Landing on You," starring South Korean actress Jeon Ji-hyun, which is also planned for the next year or two.

If Chen Xiao and Jin Shijia's acting skills are not good enough, then let Wang Chuanjun and Zhu Yawen take their place.

The competition among young people is also quite fierce.

Old Li was both amused and exasperated. "Didn't I hear that It Started With a Kiss sequel is in the works? Yang Mi finished filming Chinese Paladin 3 and is now going to film It Started With a Kiss 2."

"Her career path is not bad; it's the side effects of plastic surgery that have dragged down her acting skills."

Given Yang Mi's current popularity, her appearance won't look bad or collapse.

That tech-savvy face can also pique the interest of many SPs.

If she plays the second female lead in (Descendants of the Sun), she'll be a stepping stone for Jeon Ji-hyun.

This has also made Korean stars like Ma and Thai famous, at least in terms of streaming performance.

She became a top-tier actress in the district.

Even if iQiyi's original viewership numbers were so inflated that the data was ridiculously distorted.

However, it has accumulated 4 billion views, and the first five episodes have a total of 40 million views.

These are seriously data bugs.

The movie "The Great Water Monster" (Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms), which was released around the same time, only had 80 billion views on iQiyi.

But this is the difference between Korean dramas and Chinese domestic dramas.

This kind of water monster is the data monster that even Liu Tao, who was taken over by Teacher Bai, couldn't climb.

Of course, Yang Mi is just a backup option; we'll see how she fares during her post-operative recovery period.

The others, whether it's Huang Shengyi, Jiang Shuying, Mao Xiaotong, or Azhi.

They could all be supporting actresses to Jeon Ji-hyun, playing the second female lead.

Fat Bing was instantly dumbfounded, "Wait, why are you interested in Yang Mi's 'futuristic' face?"

Old Li quickly denied it, saying, "You're too funny."

His sudden salute to Fatty Bing was an unexpected thought, a random thought of Teacher Liu and Teacher Bai.

This must be because Fan Bingbing herself is too charming.

Ten QQ coins are not worth it.

Old Li quickly began criticizing Fat Bing's acting skills, which are still rated as (92/100) to this day.

It's been a long, long time since I've made any progress or improvement.

…………

June 6th, Grain in Ear (芒种).

Jackie Chan's (Chinese Zodiac) has been in preparation for eight months, starting from October last year.

When the filming of this major movie began in Beijing, Li Wenyu did not go to the set.

However, he still attended the opening banquet on the evening of the 6th as one of the major investors.

China Film Group is also one of the investors, and President Han was also present at the opening banquet.

After several rounds of drinks, President Han remarked, "President Li, congratulations to the Time Group for reaching new heights year after year."

"I never imagined that (Crazy Racer) would become such a hit in mainland China after only five weeks in theaters."

"This is too exaggerated."

Starting from the May Day holiday.

Five weeks after the movie ended, the racing film grossed 83 million yuan in its second week in mainland China.

Weeks three, four, and five typically saw weekly figures of 9000 million.

That's 8800 million or 8900 million, or 9300 million.

It has accumulated to 5.51 million RMB in mainland China to date.

The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) is tomorrow and the day after, and there might be another round of exams afterward.

Strictly speaking, the summer movie season started gradually from June 10th.

With a box office of 5.51 million in mainland China, it has surpassed "Dying to Survive" and ranked second in the mainland China box office charts.

If it's shown for another week or two, it will easily break the 6 million mark.

This will be the first film in mainland China's film history to gross 600 million yuan!
To put it simply, the entire series of films has been released in theaters everywhere, with anti-piracy measures implemented from top to bottom, and then another round of box office revenue has kept it going for three years.

This involves the prosperity of the entire film and television industry.

On the mainland, the total value of the Hong Kong-based company, Hao Wan, is HK$97 million, roughly HK$40-50 million each.

It's not particularly explosive, far less so than Kung Fu Hustle 1 & 2 and the John Wick series.

But Ning Hao's name has already spread throughout the Hong Kong film and television industry and among movie fans.

South Korea alone received HK$3.9 million.

This is Ning Hao's Oscar nomination for Best Director, followed by the terrifying hype brought by Huang Xiaoming.

From "My Love from the Star" and the Big Bang series to "The Hangover," all of these films performed very well in South Korea.

He also went to the streets in mid-to-late May to sing and dance for publicity.

This represents 10.38 billion RMB in transactions between China and South Korea over five weeks.

It won't take ten or twelve weeks; it will break one billion in half the time, which is equivalent to 1.3 million US dollars.

So Warner Bros. spent $1000 million to buy the Omega theater distribution rights (for the racing series). Warner Bros. was just taking advantage of the situation.

After all, at this stage (The Hangover Part II), the promotional campaign for the film has already been very powerful in the United States, Europe, Egypt, Brazil, and other places.

I don't expect this all-Chinese film to follow in the footsteps of the John Wick series.

Warner Bros.' mindset was that even if it was just riding the wave of The Hangover Part II, they could release another movie with Huang Xiaoming as the main villain.

If you add up all of Europe, the US, Brazil, Egypt, etc., it would be a good deal if it exceeded 3000 million US dollars.

Domestic helpers from island nations like Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines were also sold for HK$3000 million.

Huang Xiaoming has taken another big step forward in his bid to become a 10 billion yuan box office king in the film industry.

As Mr. Han spoke, Mr. Li raised his glass with a smile, "The more prosperous the market, the better. We are still in the early stages of development. In another ten years..."

"I hope that all kinds of results can be multiplied several times."

President Han was so shocked he almost couldn't speak.

Jackie Chan said excitedly, "It's possible that it will multiply several times; it seems like we really have a good chance of seeing it."

"Looking back at 2001, accumulating 4000 million in just over ten weeks was a hallmark of a blockbuster."

"At least Kung Fu II, Dying to Survive, and racing films have all increased more than tenfold compared to big names."

"Compared to the life-or-death decision and Pearl Harbor, it has increased fivefold, and it's only been five years."

The racing series cost $1.3 million between China and South Korea, with China contributing 70% of that.

$8000 million!

This was during the May Day holiday, just before the official start of the summer movie season.

Data from after the college entrance examination may still be useful for further analysis.

At the dinner table, Stephen Chow quickly raised his glass and said, "I heard Mr. Li's prediction a few years ago, and now I'm increasingly convinced that it's a reality."

"A toast to President Li and President Han. This 5.51 million in mainland China only represents 2200 million moviegoers."

"Our country has more than a billion people."

In South Korea, HK$3.9 million is equivalent to 830 million moviegoers. How much is that?

Before his rebirth, Lao Li was ranked number one on the Peninsula Movie Chart with 1761 million viewers.

The second highest number of moviegoers was 1626 million.

More than 30 blockbuster films have attracted over 1000 million viewers in the Peninsula area.

Not to mention anything too far back, this year's South Korean film (The Host) attracted 1300 million viewers.

The 07 sci-fi special effects blockbuster, Dragon Wars, had 842 million viewers on the Korean Peninsula.

In 2001, the number of friends reached 813 million.

This is normal behavior in racing.

2200 million moviegoers in mainland China? The difference is huge when compared with many data points from 10 years later.

Did Stephen Chow appear at the opening banquet for the film "Chinese Zodiac"?

Stephen Chow will also be making a cameo appearance in the Chinese Zodiac.

Ah Xing has always been enthusiastic about making money as long as he keeps up with the big shots.

Besides, when "The Little Man" is released on June 16th, Liu Yifei, who plays the second female lead in the zodiac series, will be doing some promotional tours for it.

She only gets to play minor roles for a few days before she has to fly off to film.

But Xiao Liu is also a rising starlet.

Stephen Chow is now eagerly anticipating breaking the series of records just set by (Crazy Racer) during the summer of 06.

Huang Bo and Ning Hao also have high emotional intelligence; they quickly raised their glasses to offer a toast.

Forget about Ning Hao; Huang Bo has already decided to do promotional tours for the "little people" (referring to minor celebrities).

He has a lot of experience as a singer.

After Lao Huang became incredibly popular, is money what he likes? Yes, he loves money.

However, he prefers promoting his songs while on the run to receiving new movie contracts.

…………

A few days later again.

(The twelve zodiac animals) are running stably.

Even the release date of (The Little Man) is getting closer and closer.

Zhou Hongyi, a super internet celebrity, posted a Weibo update at 8:00 AM on June 13th, which instantly swept across the entire internet, creating a super storm.

@Quan Zhixian and @Zhang Bozhi, "I, Lao Zhou, am just an ordinary CEO, but the new game (Dungeon & Fighter) launched by Weibo Group and 360 Security Group is about to enter closed beta testing."

"We welcome several superstars to continue playing, and hope that this will bring some relaxation and fun to most players this summer."

Quan Zhixian responded two minutes later, "@President Zhou, you are too modest. I have caught a cute billionaire tycoon. But I am indeed a loyal fan of Time Series games."

"I'll definitely try out the new game as soon as possible."

Is Zhou Hongyi a billionaire?
Not yet.

Tencent's market value exceeded 300 billion, up 5.1%.

With Weibo's market value at 520 billion yuan, Zhou also owns 3%.

In addition, Zhou Hongyi, CEO of Time360 Group, which is valued at $20 billion, accounts for 12% of the CEO position.

This is a major push to break the 10 billion yuan mark.

With the rapid development of mainland China, many of the top ten richest people on the list have also exceeded 10 billion yuan.

However, Zhou Hongyi's ranking this year will definitely be within the top 20, and not too low either.

Such remarks from an "ordinary CEO" are sure to provoke ridicule or mockery from the masses.

Similar to the unremarkable Gu Tianle.

Of course, Jeon Ji-hyun dares to tease him because Jeon has a big penguin 1.

Ah Zhi is different; even Ah Zhi herself feels that her relationship with Li Wenyu goes beyond that of a super tycoon versus an ordinary actress.

It's not about love.

But Lao Li should also have some reservations about her.

It simply didn't happen due to a combination of factors.

This definitely goes beyond a normal friendship.

However, she still didn't dare to tease Zhou Hongyi, but instead congratulated him and expressed her intention to try the game as soon as possible.

After all, when Weibo, 360 Group, and Tencent were promoting Audition Online, Happy Farm, and Parking Wars across the entire internet.

I won't talk about the mainland version.

The local team from Hong Kong's Haowan and South Korea really deserve a lot of credit from these two.

It sparked a nationwide gaming craze.

The closed beta test for Dungeon Fighter Online started on June 13th, which was after the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao).

This frees up more than 800 million high school seniors!
The racing film, which grossed 5.51 million yuan in mainland China after five weeks of release, only attracted 2200 million viewers.

The race started on Saturday the 10th last week and sparked another round of box office frenzy.

From the 10th and 11th to yesterday the 12th, the total daily new cases reached 20 million.

It was effortless to propel racing to the top of the box office with over 6 million yuan.

After the college entrance examination, besides karaoke, video games, and travel, watching a movie is a trivial matter.

Is DNF (Dungeon Fighter Online) PC game in closed beta in China?

A dozen minutes after Quan Zhixian and Azhi interacted on Weibo.

Old Ding from the pig farm started tagging Zhou Hongyi, saying, "You bastard, instead of focusing on your antivirus and security software, your foray into the gaming market is utterly ridiculous."

Just a few months.

Happy Farm and Parking Wars have attracted a massive number of players.

The earlier-operating Audition Online also created a major gaming success.

The pig farm is drooling with envy.

Now they've released a new game, which became popular on the peninsula last year.

Old Ding was so envious he wanted to vomit blood.

From Weibo and 360 Group to the joint operator Tencent.

How much money can they take from the gaming market in a year?

Adding these together, the game's revenue could easily exceed one billion RMB.

This also significantly boosted the market value of Weibo and Tencent.

Of course, regardless of whether the "pig farmer" is envious or not, countless gamers have experienced games like Audition Online and Happy Farm.

The official closed beta test of DNF, and its future public beta test, have attracted a huge amount of attention.

This attention and discussion, amidst the (small-time) dominant viral spread and promotion, has already secured a spot in the top ten trending topics.
