Huayu: Everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be an actor?

Chapter 103 is not bragging, it's truly amazing (1/40, please subscribe!)

Cheng Yuan was also one of the investors and producers of "Let the Bullets Fly," a fact that Zhang Yimou was naturally aware of.

After all, the host just mentioned it.

Zhang Yimou naturally understood the meaning behind Cheng Yuan's words.

Creating a script?

That's no problem, but remote film and television requires investment.

This makes sense, but it's a difficult decision for Zhang Yimou.

He knew his old partner very well; he most likely wouldn't agree to Remote Films interfering in his film.

"I'll go back and discuss this with him."

Zhang Yimou was preparing to go back and discuss it with Zhang Weiping.

What if you disagree?

We'll talk about it later.

"Want to cooperate with Zhang Yimou?" Han Sanping said with a smile. "Zhang Weiping will definitely not agree, but I think Zhang Yimou is tempted. After he goes back and discusses it, Zhang Weiping will probably hate you."

Cheng Yuan was naturally interested when Zhang Yimou approached him.

"Many people hate me, who does he think he is?" Cheng Yuan said dismissively. "A man who is nothing without Zhang Yimou, how can he hate me?"

'

Cheng Yuan wasn't afraid of Huayi, so why would he be afraid of Zhang Weiping from Xinhua?

Han Sanping was immediately delighted upon hearing this.

Without Zhang Yimou, he is nothing.

That's true.

Not bad, not bad. If that bastard calls me "Mountain Eagle" again, I'll immediately retaliate with this phrase.

You dare to mess with me? What kind of trash are you?

After the premiere, Cheng Yuan went home and continued filming the next day.

The movie "Let the Bullets Fly" has been very popular since its release.

Cheng Yuan's "small goal" in particular generated a huge amount of buzz.

"A small goal, two hundred million?" Wang Zhonglei said sarcastically. "He really dares to say that."

"So what if you talk about it?" Wang Zhongjun said. "Didn't you see the movie's popularity surge because of it?"

"A publicity stunt?" Wang Zhonglei realized what was going on and said, "Making such a big claim, aren't they afraid of being laughed at?"

"Is this a joke?" Wang Zhongjun said. "I heard from people who attended the premiere that this movie is excellent."

"Excellent" is different from "good". A good movie may not necessarily be a box office success, but an excellent movie is more likely to be popular in the market.

Moreover, a great movie can also be a good movie.

Who knows, Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" might be both critically acclaimed and a box office success.

Moreover, Jiang Wenjin's return to directing was highly anticipated, especially since he was collaborating with Cheng Yuan.

"Let the Bullets Fly" was already generating a tremendous amount of buzz.

"They're very confident," Wang Zhonglei said. "But thinking about it, it makes sense. If they weren't confident, how could they dare to release their film around the same time as Zhang Yimou's?"

Zhang Yimou has a strong box office appeal, and his films also have a long box office run.

Watching a visually stunning blockbuster like "Curse of the Golden Flower" in a theater and watching it on a pirated DVD are completely different experiences.

"Okay, I understand."

Wang Zhongjun's phone rang, and after listening to the report, he showed a hint of surprise.

"Let the Bullets Fly grossed 1894 million yuan on its opening day," Wang Zhongjun said. "The word-of-mouth is also very good, both among film critics and movie fans."

,"we?"

Wang Zhonglei looked at Wang Zhongjun, clearly asking if he should do something.

"Just watch it," Wang Zhongjun said. "The proportion of remote viewing in this film is not large."

In trying to suppress Cheng Yuan's Remote Films, they offended both China Film Group and Emperor Entertainment Group, which was a losing proposition.

It would be easy for China Film Group to deal with Huayi Brothers.

Once your film is scheduled for release, we'll immediately put a Hollywood blockbuster on the schedule, and you won't even have a chance to withdraw it later.

It can even affect the scheduling of your movie screenings.

Zuo Shandiao is definitely capable of doing something like that.

When the Wang brothers won the first-day box office of "Let the Bullets Fly," Cheng Yuan naturally won it as well.

However, he just said "oh" and didn't pay much attention to it, continuing to film.

Filming is going more and more smoothly now, and it's almost over before we're ready to wrap up. If it weren't for Cheng Yuan's pursuit of perfection, we probably would have finished filming soon.

He had high hopes for this film, so naturally his expectations were much higher.

Meanwhile, "Lost in Thailand," which started filming more than a month before "Love," has already wrapped up filming in the last couple of days and entered post-production.

The movie is scheduled for release on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" was a huge success, and the number continued to rise on the second day, with the daily box office exceeding 20 million yuan. This will definitely have an impact on "Curse of the Golden Flower".

However, with the mainland film market growing larger and larger, and the Lunar New Year season being the best time to release films, accommodating two blockbusters is not a problem.

"Let the Bullets Fly" has been making great strides at the box office, and it's really heading towards 200 million yuan.

However, "Curse of the Golden Flower" broke the 200 million mark first.

And the more critically acclaimed "Let the Bullets Fly" will inevitably follow closely behind.

"Curse of the Golden Flower" has obtained the key to extend its run.

We should also get "Let the Bullets Fly".

However, after "Curse of the Golden Flower" surpassed 250 million yuan at the box office, it seemed to lack staying power, and it struggled to reach the level of a 2.9-fold increase in box office revenue.

It seems unlikely that the billion will be achieved.

And it's naturally impossible for "Let the Bullets Fly" to reach the box office of over 600 million yuan in the original timeline.

This film is likely to become the first Chinese-language film to gross over 300 million yuan in mainland China.

No other film is competing with it for the box office record this time.

As for whether it can defeat Titanic, that's hard to say.

As for Cheng Yuan's "small goal," it has also been mentioned by many media outlets and movie fans.

Is 200 million a small goal?

Whether it counts or not, Cheng Yuan seems to have a unique approach to box office forecasting and market understanding.

This has made many people look forward to the action blockbuster he will be making with City Dragon.

The box office success of "Let the Bullets Fly" inevitably led to comparisons with Zhang Yimou's "Curse of the Golden Flower," and of course, Jia Zhangke's "Still Life" was also brought up.

Why did this movie win the Golden Lion at Venice, while "Let the Bullets Fly" only won the Silver Lion?

The results of it?

The total box office of "Still Life" is not even a fraction of the daily box office of "Let the Bullets Fly," the difference is too great.

The highest single-day box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" was more than ten times the total box office of "Still Life".

There's no harm without comparison.

I wonder if Jia Zhangke is feeling down.

Why is there such a big difference in box office revenue?

It's not even comparable to "Let the Bullets Fly," and it's far inferior to Cheng Yuan's award-winning films.

The post-production of "Lost in Thailand" was quite fast; "Love" hadn't even finished filming yet when its post-production was completed.

This low-budget comedy film didn't face many censorship difficulties and quickly obtained its film license.

The film is still distributed by Guangxian Media.

In early February, filming of "Love" wrapped up after two months.

Then, Cheng Yuan was dragged by Ning Hao to attend a promotional press conference.

Cheng Yuan is listed first as the screenwriter of the movie "Lost in Thailand". The script is somewhat different from the original, but it still has the same feel.

This film was invested and produced by Remote Films, so Cheng Yuan naturally couldn't refuse.

"Director Cheng, will the box office of 'Lost in Thailand' reach a small goal?"

A reporter asked Cheng Yuan directly.

Cheng Yuan's "small goal" is now quite famous, after all, "Let the Bullets Fly" has already grossed over 300 million yuan.

It's estimated that many movies will use "small goals" as a theme when they are released.

Who made Cheng Yuan achieve his small goal?

"You're more optimistic about this movie than I am," Cheng Yuan said with a smile. "The budget for 'Lost in Thailand' was only that of 'Let the Bullets Fly'."

"Even reaching one-tenth of that is a huge achievement, let alone a small goal. Half a small goal would be excellent. However, the goal for this film isn't box office revenue, but rather that moviegoers leave the theater smiling during the Spring Festival."
