Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 262 Wang Zuxian at the Peak of Beauty VS A Chinese Ghost Story IV

The period from late June to early July 2006.

The entertainment industry in East and Southeast Asia.

He Qing became the most prominent name; her charm almost surpassed everything else.

The last few days of June marked the third week of the release of (Little People).

After (Crazy Racer) accumulated 6.82 million in mainland China on the 25th, it was decommissioned.

The film "Little People" was in full swing in its third week, grossing 2.01 million yuan in a single week.

This marks the first time a blockbuster has grossed over 2 million yuan in a single week in mainland China!
All the other miscellaneous screenings totaled less than 15 million.

This is not the achievement of He Qing alone.

How many people have been made famous by Stephen Chow's successive generations of "Star Girls"?
He Qing is one of the older actresses to have starred in Stephen Chow's films.

This is also a two-part series of John Wick, with the ripple effect brought about by the connection between ordinary people.

Li Wenyu and Da Meiyuan are both forces that attract audiences, and their cameo appearances are also a great source of energy!

Then there are Liu Yifei, Zhang Guorong, Dong Xuan, and Li Qin.

These can all attract audiences to buy tickets during roadshows.

Honestly, He Qing's appeal to the audience is probably not as strong as that of Da Meiyuan, who only had a cameo role for a few dozen seconds.

But (the teddy bear) burst.

He Qing's looks have returned to their youthful peak!
The huge success of Teddy Bear proves that He Qing can still perform well at the box office even without the "Star Girl" label.

Due to the time difference, even excluding July 2nd, the third Sunday of Ted's release, it still grossed $36 million in its third week.

It's practically a done deal to break $4 million last Sunday.

As of the 2nd, Teddy Bear had accumulated $1.34 million in the United States in just over half a month.

This is still sandwiched between blockbusters like Cars and The Hangover Part II!

The Hangover Part II was released on June 22, and grossed $59 million in its first four-day weekend in the United States.

The Hangover Part II, without Huang Xiaoming, is a section with a higher score than $5900 million.

Huang Xiaoming's attack was amplified by the Big Bang, resulting in a long-lasting impact.

Teddy Bear's remarkable achievements highlight how amazing He Qing really is!
There are also countless viewers who see her at the "advanced age" of 42 years old, looking like she's back to her 28 or 29-year-old self.

I bought a ticket specifically to see if it's real or fake.

On the big screen, Zhang Guorong's camera captured He Qing's exceptional charm and allure.

If Zhang Ziyi were brought onto the big screen, Brother Rong could make the two look like they were the same age by filming them side-by-side.

After Stephen Chow's hair turned slightly gray, He Qing gave people the impression of an older man marrying a younger woman.

It's just a series of actresses who have starred in Stephen Chow's films, no matter how old he gets.

Actresses who have starred in Stephen Chow's films are not necessarily disliked for being too young.

The original Kung Fu Hustle 1, from Zhang Bozhi to Huang Shengyi, always featured a cast of older and younger actors.

Therefore, He Qing's appeal during the (small people) roadshow was truly impressive.

Teddy bears have become a huge hit overseas, boosting national morale.

Her return to her former good looks has sparked countless discussions, attention, and curiosity.

Her contribution to the film's box office success far exceeded that of Liu Yifei.

The first film in mainland China to gross over 2 million yuan in a single week broke a series of records.

The total accumulated amount over the first weekend and the following two weeks reached 4.7 million!
The seventeen-day screening period was so brutal.

I wonder how many people were terrified.

You said (Crazy Racing) also achieved the record of 1.98 million during the seven-day May Day holiday?

After all, it didn't break 2.

8100 million, 1.87 million, 2.01 million.

The data from these three data presentations over the past 17 days has been incredibly stable.

The journey of an ordinary person to box office success has shattered countless records, incidentally propelling Zhang Guorong to the position of the most successful and popular director of the new generation.

These statistics brought tears to the eyes of many veteran directors in Hong Kong and Macau.

Sister He has achieved legendary status on the internet.

The trend is almost catching up with Wu Jingzhi and Wolf Warrior 2.

Fortunately, Stephen Chow also became a sensation around the same time as her.

It continued to achieve legendary status through Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle 1 and 2.

There is a track record of director Zhang Guorong.

Before that, there were Ning Hao's (The Wolf of Wall Street) and (Racing).

One person's popularity can easily lead to isolation and ridicule from the masses.

You can't let it seem like you're the only genius in the group, and everyone else is useless.

He Qing is to catch up with and surpass some of the wildly successful examples that have already gone viral.

This is something that can be accepted given the numerous precedents.

…………

9:7 AM on March 3th.

Old Li met Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng, who had come to visit, in the president's office.

It was only 2006, and Xu Jinglei had not yet divorced Shi Nansheng.

On the surface, they are still the best example of a long-term relationship and work partners.

When Li Wenyu asked Liu Shishi to serve tea.

Xu Ke bowed and greeted him, "Mr. Li, I wouldn't dare trouble you, no need to trouble yourself."

"The reason Ah Sheng and I went to the trouble of making an appointment to visit you is to ask if Director Tong needs any help with his sci-fi blockbuster?"

"If needed, Ah Sheng and I are definitely experts."

"Breaking 200 million in seven days, and that doesn't even include the results in Hong Kong, Macau, and South Korea. Brother Rong's action blockbuster is going to surpass what I've accumulated in the first half of my life."

Old Li was taken aback.

Shi Nansheng also hurriedly began to say flattering words, her meaning quite clear.

I really want to bring my own food and run errands for Tong Liya.

Xu Ke is 56 years old now, and she doesn't look old at all!
This age group will soon see a massive influx of middle-aged and elderly people engaging in square dancing.

But Lao Xu has been losing money for five years straight since 2001.

The impact left him questioning his existence.

Having witnessed the immense success of (Lucy), I saw Stephen Chow and Cheung Kwok-wing representing the Hong Kong entertainment circle as they reached ever greater heights.

After hearing about (The Lost Tomb), I wanted to come and learn.

Lao Xu is someone who prefers technical skills.

From the original Detective Dee series to Flying Swords of Dragon Gate and then to Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy.

Regardless of how much money he spent or whose special effects team he hired, he was considered one of the top directors in China before the rise of the Wandering Earth series.

They really put a lot of effort into the special effects.

When Xiao Shishi came over with a tray and teacups, Li Wenyu smiled and offered Xu Ke a cigar.

"Director Xu, it's great that you're willing to run errands and help out with Sister Sheng."

"Xiao Tong's next film, 'Mojin: The Lost Legend,' is similar to tomb raiding. Encountering zombies, ghouls, and skeleton soldiers is easy to deal with; we in the Eastern film industry are experts at this kind of thing."

"It mainly features various magnificent underground palace buildings and disaster scenes of underground palace collapses."

"This requires starting with building prop models and preparing for large-scale special effects."

This includes the construction of an underground mausoleum.

After Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng listened attentively and thanked Liu Shishi,

Old Li laughed and said, "Shishi, call Xiao Tong over. Director Xu and Sister Sheng are both capable people."

Liu Shishi responded and ran off to send a text message.

She also found it quite surreal.

During the (Lucy) period, Fat Bing couldn't manage on her own, so she invited Li Dawei's mother and her aunt, a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy, to learn and develop together.

That's fine then.

Director Liu and I filmed "The Story of a Noble Family" together a few years ago; he's got plenty of energy.

Tong Liya is getting a great deal now.

Xu Ke bent down to help light the cigarette. "Li Sheng is right. We are good at zombies, ghouls, and skeleton soldiers. For grand palaces and underground buildings, the more magnificent they are, the more special effects they need."

"I feel that once we successfully film a live-action movie, the path ahead will be much wider."

"Also, given Joey Wong's current appearance, she's about the same as He Qing. I feel like making a big-budget special effects version of A Chinese Ghost Story IV might be a good idea?"

"I'll only dare to try it after I've finished working on the (Ghost Blows Out the Light) set and figured out all of this."

Old Li was also happy.

Liu Shishi, who had just put down her phone, exclaimed in surprise, "A Chinese Ghost Story 4? This is a feeling of nostalgia that has been nurtured for twenty years."

"Brother Rong has aged, but Sister Xian has regained her youth." "If she were to star in it, with her appearance that makes her look ten years younger, the box office wouldn't be bad even with old-fashioned techniques."

The cosmetic surgery package that Joey Wong used was inexpensive.

She received far fewer massages and acupuncture treatments from Lao Li, giving her an advantage in maintaining her health at a younger age.

She started taking care of herself in 2004 when she was 37 years old.

He Qing started taking care of herself in 05, when she was 41 years old.

Moreover, Joey Wong has spent a longer time practicing the versions of Tai Chi and Five Animal Frolics that are most suitable for her.

Wang Zuxian, who is 39 this year, looks about the same as He Qing.

She was at the peak of her beauty when she starred in A Chinese Ghost Story IV, and she didn't have a fuller jawline even at thirty.

That kind of beauty is the pinnacle.

Old Li picked up the conversation and nodded, "The Four Great A Chinese Ghost Stories have great potential, and I'm really looking forward to Director Xu's masterpiece."

How can the story of A Chinese Ghost Story continue? They can just replace the Black Mountain and the Tree Demon with a different boss.

Just like in the second movie, where Joey Wong's Fu Qingfeng battles the centipede national master.

These traditional supernatural beings and deities, as long as they can be shown on screen.

Given Xu Ke's high standards in the field of special effects, this is definitely a blockbuster worth looking forward to.

Another question is about the Painted Skin movie series and Journey to the West: Investiture of the Gods.

Then there are all sorts of mythological TV dramas, too many to count.

The review process for A Chinese Ghost Story IV was not a major issue when it was released nationwide.

Xu Ke was completely excited, lit his cigarette and sighed, "It's all thanks to Mr. Li. Without you pointing out the way for special effects, Mr. Li would not have been able to do it."

"Without your miraculous medical skills, Mr. Li, Xiaoxian would have aged as well after gaining weight and becoming chubby."

"No matter how much I beg her, she won't come out of retirement."

"If she doesn't come out of retirement, the most she can do is remake a new version, but that would probably be superfluous and she'd be criticized so much that she wouldn't dare to go out."

Old Li, “…”

He remembered Liu Yifei's version of A Chinese Ghost Story.

This is a terrible sin.

Liu Shishi hurriedly raised her hand, "Senior brother, the first three parts of A Chinese Ghost Story all have seductive and shameless characters. I feel that Mimi can definitely play one well among the new generation."

"As a good friend, I have to help her get a chance."

Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng looked at each other in bewilderment.

Old Li almost strained his back. Are you helping Yang Mi or setting her up?

After thinking for a few seconds, he remarked, "The main villain doesn't necessarily have to be ugly; you could also try a glamorous young woman?"

"Just like Snow White and the Evil Queen, the villain can control Xiaoqian to commit murder in order to maintain his peak beauty."

"Succubi are willing to pay a heavy price to become beautiful."

"This is just a suggestion. We'll consider it after Director Tsui finishes filming (Candle in the Tomb 1)."

Xu Ke nodded repeatedly, "With A Chinese Ghost Story 4 being prepared like this, I'm definitely looking forward to the investment from Time Travel and China Film Group."

Old Li readily nodded and clinked glasses with tea instead of wine.

Is Joey Wong, at the peak of her beauty, filming A Chinese Ghost Story IV after a decade or two?

Maintain the level of Qiannv 1, 2, and 3.

This sentimentality alone can make a fortune.

This is similar to decades of development, where AI has achieved perfect face swapping, allowing Lin Zhengying to re-enact Mr. Zombie.

The second and third installments of A Chinese Ghost Story can't compare to the first one, and the third one also has a high score of 7.7.

This is all about sentiment.

To be honest, it wasn't a bad movie at all; it was a great popcorn flick.

Liu Shishi excitedly added, "Brother Rong is also 50 years old. Although he doesn't look too weathered, wouldn't it be fun for him to play a Taoist master?"

Old Li said, both amused and exasperated, "Don't go too far, or the audience will be pulled out of the story."

After a while.

Tong Liya has arrived.

Xiao Tong is happy, as he is preparing to build a large underground palace for the film "Mojin: The Lost Legend," which will be quite challenging to construct.

This time, Lao Li didn't release the image directly.

The idea was to let Xiao Tong read the Ghost Blows Out the Light novels himself and hire a professional architect to design the space.

After all, it's a project that will last for one or two years. There's no rush. She will only start (reach the end) after she finishes filming (before meeting you).

Chen Kun, Jiang Qinqin, and others have been preparing for the competition for a long time.

Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng, a married couple, suddenly came to help run errands and try to get involved in a sci-fi filming session.

Xiao Tong immediately handed over the project of building the underground palace in reality to Shi Nansheng.

Let's talk about A Chinese Ghost Story IV again?
Tong Liya was immediately filled with anticipation.

Wang Zuxian's iconic role as Xiaoqian has garnered her a fan base comparable to that of Yanzi and Huanzhu.

Then there's Jeon Ji-hyun, who is compared to the "My Sassy Girl," and her story is much more profound and complex.

This influence extends beyond China, encompassing regions including South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.

Even if this project were done casually, it would be far more reasonable than something like "Monster Hunt" which grossed 24 billion RMB at the box office.

After all, this was Xiaoxian at the peak of her good looks.

From 24 billion for "Catch the Demons" to 26 billion for "Investiture of the Gods 1".

Monster Catcher 2's 22 billion?
Even the disastrous Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back still grossed 16.5 billion RMB.

Old Li was speechless; mainland audiences didn't even have the chance to eat much good food.

They brought out special effects comparable to those of Lucy, Kung Fu Hustle, and Spider-Man, but with a different story logic and plot, it was just a copy of A Chinese Ghost Story IV (A Chinese Ghost Story III).

This, fueled by a decade or two of nostalgia, can meet the standards of ordinary people today.

It wasn't even 11 a.m. yet.

Li Jiaxin and Wang Zuxian rushed to the president's office after receiving the news.

Even Mr. Han from China Film Group came, after all, Mr. Xu was also looking forward to China Film Group's investment.

After several rounds of champagne and tea, President Han exclaimed with delight, "President Li, if A Chinese Ghost Story IV is launched, given Zu Xian's current condition..."

"Let's not talk about comparing them to crazy racing cars and ordinary people."

"It's not hard to find data on top-tier professional players emerging from East and Southeast Asia, right?"

Xu Ke made several mistakes, but President Han was still full of confidence in A Chinese Ghost Story IV.

Having already produced the first three films, these are essentially creations within the familiar comfort zone of the Hong Kong film industry.

The only major change was spending $20 million to $30 million to do special effects in Hollywood.

"Extreme Job 1" grossed over 1 billion RMB in China and South Korea alone.

The $3000 million investment in special effects amounted to $2.4 million.

The box office revenue sharing between China and South Korea broke even and made a small profit, and the island nations of Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand also made money.

This includes DVD rentals, movie merchandise, and streaming services.

The profit is substantial.

Old Li glanced at Wang Zuxian, who was also tall, had long legs, and a better figure, and nodded, "Make sure to control the quality and shoot it well. Director Xu, give it your all."

"I feel like I'm guaranteed to make a profit."

Target: Joey Wong
Acting, (79/100).

Lines, (77/100).

Singing skills, (49/100).

Healthy, (83/100).

Health and wellness Tai Chi (72/100).

Five Animal Frolics for Health Preservation and Fitness (79/100).

Wang Zuxian has been taking moxibustion and medicine for nearly two years, and practicing boxing, including stance training, for more than a year.

Back in October 2003, a group of women of her aunt's generation, including Brigitte Lin, Joey Wong, and Vivian Chow, came together to explore Ah-Hsin's youthful appearance.

They visited Li Wenyu together to help Shiguang take care of her child and to solicit resources for the copyright of old movies streaming media.

At that time, Lin Qingxia, who was not seriously ill, had a health score of 59/100 as she approached fifty.

At that time, Joey Wong was only (69/100).

In 03, this virtuous woman was 36 years old.

Now at the age of 39, she has the health of someone over 80.

Aside from a year or two of consistent medication for health maintenance and anti-aging.

The Five Animal Frolics of Tai Chi also played a significant role.
