Chapter 507 Young people don't listen to reason, and they hold grudges (3rd update)
The province of Lucky Forest, the city of eternal spring... cough cough, it's Jilin-Gaoguan Spring!

Changchun Film Studio, one of the eight major film studios, is located here, and many classic films were shot here.

Even after the reform and opening up, the film and television industry here has developed quite well, for example, the Changchun Film Festival.

Lei Jiayin won the Best Actor award at this film festival for his role in Ning Hao's film "The Golden Era".

In a venue
The main cast of "Mojin: The Lost Legend" are currently on a promotional tour and have entered the Q&A session with the audience. As soon as the audience opened their mouths, their thick Northeastern accents hit them hard, almost causing them to lose their bearings.

The infectiousness of this dialect is truly extraordinary.

"Um... I wanted to ask Mr. Qi Hui a question," a male audience member asked curiously, holding the microphone, "When you were filming, were the wildfires in the US really that fierce?"

The creators of "Mojin: The Lost Legend" chuckled, barely managing to hold back their laughter.

Even Liu Xiaoqing and Yang Tianbao, who had never been to the United States, couldn't help but laugh.

"Wait... what are you laughing at?" an audience member said with some dissatisfaction. "My Mandarin is perfectly fine, and I don't think I have an accent!"

"Haha, I wasn't talking about your accent." Qi Hui laughed heartily, changing the subject: "I was talking about your problem."

Haven't you been following the California wildfires lately?

"No, I don't," the audience member replied, explaining that he had only remembered the incident while watching the movie.

Men all like to engage in political commentary, but there's so much to discuss about politics.

“California’s governor declared a state of emergency last month.”

"Holy crap, is this for real? It's still not out?" the audience exclaimed in surprise. It's just a wildfire, isn't it?

How can this warrant a statewide state of emergency?
He immediately stopped asking questions, handed the microphone to someone else, and started searching for news.

"Now, let's welcome the next audience member..."

"..."

……

The roadshow ended, and everyone left.

The group returned backstage, preparing to go back to the hotel, only to find that Chen Guofu, the director of Huayi, was waiting for them.

"Mr. Chen, what brings you here?" Guo Fan chuckled and quickly went to greet him.

"I'm here to congratulate you. Congratulations on the 7.38 million yuan box office of 'Mojin: The Lost Legend' in its opening week!" Chen Guofu said with a big smile, shaking hands repeatedly.

The box office in its first week alone has surpassed that of many Chinese-language films!
Huayi's top management was worried that Qi Hui, Guo Fan, and the others... well, they were exhausted, so they specially sent Chen Guofu to offer their condolences.

"Don't just talk about our 'The Lost Tomb'," Qi Hui interjected. "President Chen, tell us about our opponents."

The opponent Qi Hui was referring to was naturally "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe".

"They were a pitiful sight, utterly vulnerable," Chen Guofu said calmly, waving his hand.
"Hahahahaha..."

Upon hearing this, everyone present burst into laughter, and the room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

But when Chen Guofu looked closely, he found that Qi Hui and Guo Fan were looking at him with a half-smile.

"What...?" Chen Guofu was subconsciously puzzled, but his face quickly darkened as he remembered.

When "Mojin: The Lost Legend" was being filmed, Qi Hui and Guo Fan expressed their disdain and disdain for "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" and Lu Chuan more than once.

He bluntly stated that Lu Chuan was not worth his attention, a piece of trash, and that even one hand wouldn't be enough to defeat him.

However... Huayi's senior management at the time, as well as Chen Guofu, vehemently rejected this mentality and behavior.

And then... and now I've been proven wrong!
Lu Chuan was really crushed, she really is a piece of trash!

Chen Guofu's lips twitched, thinking to himself that these two young people were really something, unreasonable and only knew how to hold grudges.

They showed absolutely no tolerance for him, an elderly man!
"Come on, come on, I'll treat you to a big meal!" Chen Guofu changed the subject, waving his hand repeatedly.

"Hey, Mr. Chen, how's the copyright lawsuit going?"

"They're still stalling. 'Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe' has been using delaying tactics, but I estimate it won't last much longer. We'll probably see the outcome within a month."

"Oh wow?" "So fast?"

A month sounds like a long time, but this is a lawsuit, so it's actually quite fast!
……

Imperial Capital
"The box office in the first week was already 740 million?" Yang Mi looked at the data with surprise while holding her child.

She also has a movie being released during this period, namely "Tiny Times 4: The End of Soul".

It will be released about a week earlier than "Mojin: The Lost Legend".

Thinking of this, Yang Mi immediately looked up the movie's box office data.

Sure enough, it was cut in half.

"Sigh..." Yang Mi covered her face. Although the box office performance of this movie was no longer her concern, she still hoped that the movie would be a huge hit, as that would also benefit her.

But unfortunately...

"Why do I always get beaten up by Qi Hui?" Yang Mi was extremely frustrated.

The last time, "My Sunshine" was like that; it got a beating because "Wolf Warrior" was delayed.

The current "Tiny Times 4" is the same; it got beaten up again.

"I wonder if 'The Vanished She' can achieve this result..." Yang Mi couldn't help but imagine, and she also submitted a copy.

I wish "The Vanished" could also gross 2 billion yuan!

At that time, it won't be Jiaxing begging Shangshi Investment, but rather Shangshi begging Jiaxing to accept the investment!
Yang Mi took a deep breath, preparing to continue her live stream tonight and get ready for "The Vanished She".

What's best about Mr. Yang is his strong work ethic.

As long as it's beneficial to their career, they'll start rolling it up themselves without even needing Qi Hui's instructions.

……

On the other side, Fengtai
Looking at the latest box office data for "Mojin: The Lost Legend," Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but exclaim, "This box office is really high!"

"Yes, it's definitely not low." Zhou Xun glanced at it and nodded in agreement.

The box office in its first week is almost equal to the total box office of "Painted Skin 2".

"I wonder if 'The Vanished She' can achieve this level of success..." Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but imagine, even though she was the second female lead in it.

"I doubt it will work out," Zhou Xun interjected. "It's a suspense film, not much action, and Qi Hui plays the villain. The budget isn't big either, so it's not a big production."

"It would be great if we could get five or six hundred million!"

Gao Yuanyuan's beautiful reverie was interrupted, and she couldn't help but glance at Zhou Xun: "Aren't you going home yet?"

She got married last year, so what's the point of her staying here all day?
"Our first wedding anniversary is in a few days," Zhou Xun said with a smile. "A few days apart will add a bit of awkwardness."

"Tch~" Gao Yuanyuan gave her a disdainful look.

Jingle bell bell~
But then, the phone rang.

Gao Yuanyuan picked it up and saw that it was a familiar number.

Without a second thought, I hung up immediately and added the person to my blacklist.

"Who?"

"Ex-boyfriend." Gao Yuanyuan curled her lips.

"Tsk tsk...women are so heartless!" Zhou Xun clicked her tongue in disdain.

"Then why don't you give Li Yapeng a call?" Gao Yuanyuan glanced at her. "Or Pu Shu, or Dou Peng."

How dare you say that to me?
Zhou Xun smiled sheepishly: "Never mind then, I'm married now."

"Tch, heartless woman." Gao Yuanyuan said disdainfully, giving her a taste of her own medicine.
