Chapter 168 Lost Han Yan (410)

The tastes of Japanese and Korean audiences are a bit strange, and the current highest-grossing "Clues to Time and Space" cannot be sold in these two markets.

On the contrary, the distinctive style of "Animal World" sold 700 million and 1100 million US dollars in the two countries respectively.

Can you believe that the pure love film "The Eraser in My Brain" has 760 million viewers in South Korea?
Breaking into the top ten in South Korea that year was also the best result of an overseas film in South Korea that year.

Even Yang Xue, the heroine, is very popular in Korea.

When Cheng Yuan landed in the capital, Xu Minying from KBS and Li Zhongzhu from CJ Entertainment followed.

Cheng Yu'an was busy with his affairs and couldn't receive the two of them, so Cheng Lingfeng took the time to have a meal with them and handed them over to the company's production and public relations department.

Subsequent copyright negotiations are mainly in the charge of them.

Compared with the 4 movies in April, only 13 movies were released in May.

But this month is not deserted at all. On the 1st, "Spider-Man 3", on the 12th, "Sniper", and on the 18th, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

Such a lineup highlights a disgusting Hollywood.

But "Spider-Man 3" still swept the entire Wuyi file, with a total box office of 9000 million, and its family took away 7400 million.

It is precisely because there are three Hollywood blockbusters in May that many domestic films have chosen to give way, and no one wants to encounter this bad luck.

Cheng Yu'an was watching special effects at the company, and Ning Hao came to the company to look for him suddenly.

"Hey, rare guest, why are you here?"

Since Ning Hao became famous in the first battle of "Crazy Stone", he has been very busy!
Seamless Connection took Zhonghua Heng (China Film Warner Hengdian Film and Television Co., Ltd., the publisher of "Stone") 500 million funds to open "Crazy Racing".

Afterwards, he followed 500 million remotely and made up a whole number for Ning Hao.

"I have an idea for you to try." Ning Hao said.

Cheng Yu'an smiled: "You haven't turned on "Racing Car", so you have a new idea, are you busy?"

After Ning Hao became famous, his creative enthusiasm was very high.

Ideas popped out of my mind one after another.

Ning Hao said: "The script of "Crazy Racing" is basically finalized now, and the preparations at Zhonghuaheng are almost ready, and it will be ready to start in two months.

"Let me tell you, my idea is absolutely explosive!" Ning Hao is very confident in his new idea.

"Oh? Talk about it."

"I'm going to shoot a road movie, which will be set in the Gobi desert in the northwest..." Ning Hao talked endlessly.

It's over, it's still "No Man's Land" after all!
Cheng Yu'an frowned more and more as he listened.

As a director, the story of "No Man's Land" is attractive enough.

But as the boss of a media company, Cheng Yu'an had to consider the market reaction to the film.

He knew that the film was suppressed for three years before it was allowed to be released.

If it were any other time, this film probably wouldn't have been suppressed, but in 09 and 10, something happened in the Northwest, and "No Man's Land" happened to hit the gun.

Ning Hao only has a very vague idea about "No Man's Land", but his words reveal excitement.

Of course Cheng Yu'an also liked this movie very much, and knew that he couldn't persuade Ning Hao: "You should finish shooting "Racing Cars" first. We will talk about this story after "Racing Cars" is finished."

Ning Hao left excitedly, the idea of ​​"No Man's Land" was very annoying.

…………

After May Day, "The King of Kung Fu" was launched in Dunhuang.

Cheng Yu'an was very busy in the capital, and Liu Yifei sent him a text message to tell him the news.

After agreeing to write a song for her, Liu Yifei sent messages to harass Cheng Yu'an twice in three days.

For a while, he said that he was training for "The King of Kung Fu", and for a while, he said that he practiced his voice and breath every day in order to sing Cheng Yu'an's songs well.

Cheng Yu'an read the information, and responded with a sentence or two when he had time, and replied 1 to indicate that he had seen it when he didn't have time.

"The King of Kung Fu" should be the most watched film this year, not one of them.

"Assembly", "Certificate of Fame" and "The Martian" are not as popular as it.

Because this film is the first collaboration between Jackie Chan and Li Lian, and it is also a Hollywood work in China.

There are two heroines, one is Li Bingbing, the first sister of Huayi (Mr. Zhou and Fan Xiaopang will definitely not agree), and the other is Liu Yifei, who is now the most popular.

After the launch news of "The King of Kung Fu" was announced, the publicity also started at the same time.

A bunch of dizzying numbers smashed over.

The total investment is 4 million, Jackie Chan's remuneration is 8000 million, and Li Lian's 3000 million.

Jackie Chan's "Queen Chef" settled in Hengdian in March to prepare for Jackie Chan's arrival.

I thought the entire month of May would be headlined by "Spider-Man 3" and "The King of Kung Fu."

Unexpectedly, on the 13th, a bolt from the blue hit everyone.

Chen Xiaoxu died of breast cancer at the age of 42.

"Hey," Cheng Lingfeng sat aside and sighed, God knows how much she likes "Dream of Red Mansions", and she is the most steadfast Bao Dai party, "Sister Lin left after all."

Cheng Lingfeng suddenly became sentimental.

Cheng Yu'an said: "I didn't expect you to have this side. I really can't bear it, so you can go see her off at the farewell meeting. Although we don't have much contact with her, at least we have a heart."

Cheng Lingfeng glanced at his eldest nephew: "You still have a bit of conscience when you say that."

After all, there was no teacher Xu to continue her life in this life, and she passed away at the age of 42, an untimely death.

Of course Cheng Yuan also likes "Dream of Red Mansions", but she is not as fanatical as her little aunt. She keeps a set in her office and reads them casually. There is a separate bookcase in her study room to store various editions of "Dream of Red Mansions" and red studies.

Sighing, Cheng Lingfeng asked Cheng Yu'an: "How is "The Martian" doing now?"

"The construction site in Qing Province will be completed in two months, and the indoor scene layout in Beijing has also started. I rented the studio of Beijing Film Studio, but many props are not ready yet, so we have to wait. 7 It should be in time to start up in the month.”

After hearing this, Cheng Lingfeng nodded, "As long as you have a plan." Just as she was about to get up and go out, another thing came to her mind, "You have time to visit your little apprentice."

"Han Yan? What happened to him?"

"The box office of "Young Babylon" was so bad that he couldn't accept it. He locked himself in the room and sulked. If it wasn't for bringing him food and water every day, he didn't know what would happen. I don't blame him for the box office. What is a popularity?"

Cheng Yu'an put "Babylon" and "Butterfly Effect 2" in front of him for him to choose.

He chose to shoot "Young Babylon". It took more than 3 months to write the script and build the crew, and 2 months to shoot.

With a cost of 300 million, it was worth more than 200 million at the box office of the next show.

Han Yan couldn't accept such a result. He thought that the script he had written was not bad. Although there were shortcomings, the story was coherent. There was warmth and warmth, and there were jokes.

Although it is not as big as Ning Hao's 5000 million, it is expected that it should be no problem to recover the cost.

Unexpectedly, it was released directly at a loss.

"Brother, I have been with you for four years. I worked hard in school and on the set. How could the film be made like this?" When Cheng Yu'an came to see him, Han Yan lost a lot of weight.

"I've watched the film, do you know where your problem is? It's too academic, and I have a strict eye. I saw your first shot and knew what you would do in the second shot. "Youth Babylon" was originally a story about youth. , there is warmth, melancholy, and joy, but you exaggerated the melancholy of Lu Xiaolu's youth, and underestimated the warmth and humor that the audience likes to watch. The relationship between Lu Xiaolu and Bailan is so dreamy. , The plot of the factory is normal one second, and the emotional scene between the two is in the next second, and your lighting and camera are completely out of touch."

"Han Yan, you can't do this. You have to start learning filming again now, and when you forget about the things in the academy, you will be fine."

Cheng Yu'an also realized his mistake, he shouldn't encourage the growth of the seedlings, and he has his own growth trajectory.

It's like he signed Brother Hu in advance, but he still had a car accident.

Han Yan's growth path is escorted by himself, but he can't be overly elevated.

"You follow the execution of a few films first, then make TV dramas later, and then think about movies after a few years. Get up, people in their 20s, sitting on the ground is unbelievable. I want you to give me "The Martian" Be an assistant."

　right away!
