Chapter 444 "Search"

On June 6, "Thieves" was released for 9 days, and the total box office exceeded 45 billion, reaching 10 billion.

The first domestic film with a box office of over 10 billion was born!

At the same time, with 126 million movie viewers, it created the highest box office record for a domestic film in the Korean market, and it is also the only domestic film that has exceeded one million box office in Korea so far.

It performed slightly worse in the Japanese market, with a box office of only 32 billion yen, ranking No.6 in the box office of Chinese-language movies in Japan.

Up to the General Administration and Remote, down to Yang Mi, Hu Ge and other actors, I can say that I am very satisfied with this result, but sometimes people are greedy, and they all think of the same thing by coincidence:

"If it weren't for Hollywood movies to disrupt the situation, would "Thieves" hit the 15 billion box office and break the monopoly of "Avatar"?"

To this question, Cheng Yu'an just smiled: "I'm already very satisfied to break 10 billion, I dare not ask for more."

Liu Yifei returned home, picked up her cat, and petted it pamperingly: "Oh, you're all skinny, dad must have abused you, poor thing."

Cheng Yu'an said while packing his luggage, "Touch its stomach, it's fatter than you. I won't make it hungry if I skip a meal."

Liu Yifei didn't listen to him, and walked away with the cat in her arms: "Mom will take you to eat delicious food."

As I said before, there are some problems with the schedule of films in the domestic market. All companies want to rush to the most popular schedules, which often leads to gaps, such as June before the summer vacation and November before the Lunar New Year.

This year, due to the introduction of the new film agreement, a large number of Hollywood blockbusters have poured in.

Domestic manufacturers are even more reluctant to come out during the protection period.

Leading to a bunch of Hollywood blockbusters in June.

From "Snow White and Mirror Mirror" at the beginning of the month to "Brave" at the end of the month, six Hollywood blockbusters are piled up in June.

"The Hunger Games" was released on the 14th. This film was imported in the form of a batch of films remotely.

Universal, the film's global distributor, wanted to split the film's accounts, thinking that "The Hunger Games" would be a hit in North America - with a box office of 4 million US dollars, it would also be a hit in China.

Long-distance cooperated with Universal to conduct a movie viewing survey to let Universal understand that Chinese audiences do not have such a high acceptance of killing games like "The Hunger Games", and the domestic box office is expected to top 1000 million US dollars.

Universal didn't want to take this risk, so it also agreed to buy "The Hunger Games" at a price of 1000 million yuan.

After resting for two days, Liu Yifei rushed to the crew of "Inner Beauty" to visit and play a guest role, and Cheng Yu'an went to the crew of "National Witness" in Jinmen.

This movie can be regarded as a long-range attempt at a new genre, with Zhou Gongzi and Sun Honglei escorting, prosecutor Tong Tao played by Zhu Yawen, and directed by Xin Yukun.

"National Witness" is a relatively unpopular court-style reasoning in terms of reasoning-grandma's "Witness for the Prosecution" is this type.

If professional law students watch this movie, they will feel that the trial process is almost child's play - it does not conform to the national conditions.

"Twelve Citizens" was so awkward that a moot court could be filmed. Besides, the filming of "National Witness" also got the support of the procuratorate.

"It's my first time acting as a prosecutor." Mr. Zhou stood beside Cheng Yu'an eating the fruit he brought.

"How about it, I didn't fool you with a bad script." It can be regarded as repaying the play that I owed her.

Xin Yukun praised her from the side: "Sister Xun's acting skills are really good, basically one pass."

Zhu Yawen said: "We all call her Zhou Yitiao on the set."

Cheng Yu'an teased him: "You didn't hold her back, did you?"

"Why are you talking about that?" Zhu Yawen struggled to keep up with Zhou Xun, and sometimes he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in if there were too many NGs.

"It's okay, just keep studying hard and try not to lose to her in "Red Sorghum" at the end of the year."

Mr. Zhou has confirmed to join "Red Sorghum" with a salary of 2700 million!
Xin Yukun had a whim, and said to Cheng Yu'an: "Come and play a role for us."

Cheng Yu'an is no longer starring, but like Stan Lee, he has no objection to playing tricks in his own movies.

"There is a director role in the movie, just a few words, you can put it together."

The original time and space belonged to Chen Sicheng.

"Okay." Cheng Yu'an agreed.

After resting for half an hour, the crew resumed work, and Cheng Yu'an went to the shed to make up and change clothes.

…………

Director Han has been a little tired for the past two years.

He was busy reorganizing China Film and seeking to go public, so he had no time to pay attention to the project.

This year's summer film, China Film will release "The Sino-Japanese War".

This film must have been known as a showdown task, but the lineup is not bad: Lu Yi + Xia Yu.

Yang Mi was equally nervous, "The Thieves" pushed her to the throne of the heroine with a box office of 10 billion, and "The Code of Wudang: The World of Wudang" will be released in the summer.

Meiya, the investor of "Big Wudang", had a crooked smile before the movie was released.

Yang Mi hit a box office of 10 billion in May 10st, and Meiya picked up a [-] billion heroine for nothing.

Moreover, "Great Wudang" also collides with "The Thieves Alliance" in genre.

Both movies are about winning treasures.

Publicity is great.

"10 billion box office queen Yang Mi embarks on the journey to win the treasure again! "

"Zhao Wenzhuo teamed up with Yang Mi to explore Wudang to win treasures again!" "

Yang Mi cherishes "Alliance of Thieves" very much. She has some resistance to Meiya's Punch, but she tries to cooperate with the promotion as much as possible:

"There are many differences between "Great Wudang" and "The Thieves". I hope that the audience can put aside Anycall for a while. Tianxin (Yang Mi's role in "Great Wudang") is a brand new attempt. Bao's curiosity walked into the cinema."

It's not to say bad things about "Great Wudang", but everyone including her doesn't believe that "Great Wudang" can use Yang Mi to create another treasure-hunting miracle.

What is your level of Liang Bojian, and why do you compare it with Cheng Yu'an.

Also released on the same day as "Big Wudang" is "Search" directed by Chen Kaige.

Director Chen worked hard for "Search", let's see what he said.

"I didn't realize until today that I've been filming the most stupid idiots.

"For example, in "Farewell My Concubine", the concubine played by Zhang Guorong wants to bring the cow on the stage into her own life, isn't she a fool?

In "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin", it is a silly idea for a rogue in the market to kill a monarch who ruled the world, but just because of this sword, there is an eternal masterpiece "Feng Xiao Xiao Xi Yi Shui Han, Once a strong man is gone, he will never return'.

"Whether it's Cheng Ying in "The Orphan of Zhao" or the father in "With You", they are all doing a very good but stupid thing."

When talking about Ye Lanqiu, played by Gao Yuanyuan in "Search", who suffered from cyber violence, Chen Kaige said:

"If she posted her grievances on the Internet, maybe there would be no cyber violence, but it is precisely her non-defense that has become her best character.

"So, 'The Cow's Fool' is a consistent character in my films."

Compared with the previous heavy themes such as "Mei Lanfang" and "The Orphan of Zhao", "Search" is more relaxed and lively, and more down-to-earth. After watching the movie, many reporters felt that it was very different from Chen Kaige's previous works.

Some even pointed out that "Search" is like Feng Xiaogang's movie, and Feng Xiaogang's "1942" (not yet released) is like Chen Kaige's work. Regarding this, Chen Kaige briefly said: "Chen Kaige will never become Xiaogang, and Feng Xiaogang will never be It will be Chen Kaige."

Chen Kaige was the first director to suffer from "cyber violence". Some reporters questioned that the movie "Search" may have projected the director's emotions left over from the "Steamed Bun Murder" when he was filming "The Promise".In this regard, Chen Kaige said that he would never take "personal revenge" in his own movie.

Then why are you suing others?
Then a blind reporter poked a hornet's nest: ""Search" and "Hunting" both tell the story of the protagonist being coerced by the invisible cold violence of the people. Some audiences and film critics will compare the two films. Director Chen will Are there any concerns about this?"

Director Chen asked, "The Hunt?"

The reporter was taken aback, I dare say you haven't watched "The Hunt": "Directed by Cheng Yu'an, it won the Venice Golden Lion and Oscar for Best Director."
