Chapter 640
"Wolf Warrior" premiered on Thursday. Even though the market was not optimistic, it performed extremely well, scoring 3700 million yuan.

This achievement is no less than traditional blockbusters.

The theaters reacted immediately, and the next day, regardless of the protests of the crew of "Crazy Talk", they adjusted the film schedule and gave "Wolf Warrior" nearly 34% of the film schedule.

And "Wolf Warrior" also lived up to the expectations of the theaters, winning 3800 million that day.

It seems that there is no growth, but considering the release of competing products, "Wolf Warrior" can still stabilize its performance with a niche theme without a big star lineup, and its performance is already good.

After all, "Wild Words" has the blessings of Liu Qingyun and Huang Xiaoming, so it will definitely affect the results of "Wolf Warrior".

But the performance of the former on the first day fell below the audience's glasses, only 830 million.

"The idea is very good, but I didn't write it out, or it was too obvious. I guessed the ending in less than half. The degree of completion is very low, and I don't even have the rhythm of a genre film."

"The leader came out like a madman, and his acting skills were completely abused by the people who bought vegetables."

"Huang Xiaoming is the root of all disharmony in the film."

Xiao Ming committed a big crime. In the past two years, apart from being praised for his acting skills in "Chinese Partner", one of his performances was criticized.

Compared with the two, theaters are generally optimistic about the weekend performance of "Wolf Warrior".

"Wolf Warrior" made a sudden effort over the weekend, taking an average of 34.7% of the market's box office in two days, and won a good score of 1.3 million.

As a result, its first weekend score reached 2.08 million, which gave a powerful shot of blood to the deserted Qingming stalls.

As Cheng Yu'an expected, the popularity of "Wolf Warrior" has aroused a wide range of discussions about tough guys and tough guy movies.

Now is the golden age of Xiaoxianrou, and Lu Han, Li Yifeng and others are popular.

Whether it's for marketing or for real feelings, Wu Jing has indeed complained in front of the media that there is a lack of tough guys and "real men" on Chinese movie screens.

People who practice martial arts have been trained in the army, and their speech is not mellow. Wu Jing can't say things like "idol movies are also part of the market" and "little fresh meat also has its market". The name scolded.

Therefore, it also made some people unhappy.

But the movie-watching group of "Wolf Warrior" is not this group of fans chasing fresh meat.

Netizens and those who actually buy tickets are two groups.

On the working day after the weekend, "Wolf Warrior" still won over 5000 million box office, and it really took off.

In terms of publicity, the remote began to exaggerate Wu Jing's difficulty in filming "Wolf Warrior".

No one is willing to invest in the project.

He received a year and a half of special forces training in the army, and was recognized and praised by the army when he left. The military region even put out the slogan "Learn and pay tribute to Comrade Wu Jing".

During the filming, due to the difficult conditions, the group performers were reluctant to come, and finally the father-in-law personally played for him.

Wu Jing and Xie Nan also frequently showed their love and talked about family fun in interviews.

For example, Wu Jing said "I don't have a girlfriend" the first time he met Xie Nan.

When I met my father-in-law and drank, the two put their arms around their shoulders and called brothers.

The social popularity of remote meeting has almost reached its peak. In mid-April, it was announced that Wu Jing was confirmed to play the role of Liu Peiqiang in "The Wandering Earth".

And issued a personal poster of Wu Jing wearing a space suit.

Cheng Yu'an's schedule is very tight. As the chairman and judge of Cannes this year, the film festival will open on May 5, but the judges of the main competition unit must arrive in Cannes at the end of April to start film selection.

Therefore, he must try to finalize the role of "The Wandering Earth" before then.

After interviewing Zhang Zifeng, Jiang Yiyi and Zhao Jinmai, Cheng Yuan had a disagreement with the casting team. Cheng Yuan wanted to choose Zhao Jinmai, but the casting team obviously preferred Zhang Zifeng.

Cheng Yu'an didn't want to continue arguing with the casting team: "I have already asked Dong Zijian to play the leading role in "Legend of the White Fox", and Sister Hua has also explained it." Zhang Zifeng signed it under Sister Hua's name.

"Just choose Zhao Jinmai, the three of them have good image and acting skills, choose Zhang Zifeng, what Dong Han said, decide Jiang Yiyi, sister Hua has something to say, I might as well choose a girl from the single gang."

"Okay, let's make Zhao Jinmai, and sign the agency contract when signing the actor contract."

"Wang Lei is for Li Guangjie. He is not nervous about making appointments in the future. I don't want to wait on other uncles on the set."

"Give Han Duoduo's language teacher to the space agency, and give Gao Yuanyuan a friendly role."

"The army pushed Zhang Zilin."

"Zhang Zilin is too tall. Have you ever seen someone whose Chinese teacher is 182? It's not easy to show the camera."

Cheng Yu'an flipped through the actor's resume again: "Han Ziang, give it to Uncle Da."

Cheng Yu'an was at odds with the Hong Kong and Taiwan film circles, but the higher-ups had repeatedly emphasized that to take care of the overall situation, Gao Yuanyuan considered the face of the Bay Island, and the Hong Kong Island side was justified in letting Uncle Da play Han Ziang.

"Okay, I'll contact Uncle Da later."

The most troublesome thing is Liu Qi.

"Tudou Image pushed Li Xian."

The actors of web dramas are not in the remote culture, but all signed in the Tudou image.

"You ask him to come in this afternoon, I'll meet him." Cheng Yu'an would not use Qu Chuxiao, and would definitely give priority to his own people.

This is the trouble for a big family and a big business. We must take care of as many interested parties as possible.

For those who don't use Tudou's image, Tudou will also have ideas, saying that he was raised by his stepmother, and the boss didn't take care of him at all.

Cheng Yu'an spent the whole afternoon auditioning for actors, and when Li Xian walked out of the audition room, he was so happy that he jumped up.

In the evening, the news that "the cast of "The Wandering Earth" has been basically confirmed" spread in the circle, and a list of cast members was sorted out in a serious manner. Needless to say, the loneliness of the unknown people on the list.

When Cheng Yu'an returned home, Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Now you can relax."

"Yeah, because of the role, I'm almost annoyed to death. I can't eat well every day, and I can't sleep well.

"Now that the actor has been confirmed, I can also accompany you well."

"Who wants you to accompany me?" Because of the casting, Cheng Yu'an hardly stayed at home every day except to sleep.For this reason, Liu Yifei scolded him: "What do you think of me here, except that you can't even see anyone except sleeping every day."

"Are you really not going to Cannes?"

"I'm dragging such a burden, how can I get there?" Liu Yifei is pregnant and has limited mobility, and she has gained a lot of weight. Although in Cheng Yu'an's eyes, her wife is still as beautiful as a fairy, but Liu Yifei doesn't want to. Face the media in Cannes with this appearance.

Moreover, the wedding is just next month, and she must stay in the country to complete the final test.

"Are the bridesmaids sure?"

With the confirmation of Li Xian playing Liu Qi, Cheng Yuan's four best men are also confirmed: Brother Hu, Yang Yang, Li Xian and Wang Kai.

The young lady's bridesmaid group was torn apart very badly. If the young lady didn't work, someone had to take over the resources in her hands, especially the big cake of "For the Pacific 2", which many people wanted to eat.

Liu Yifei also has a headache about this problem.

"Almost sure."

"Almost? The wedding is next month. How about you here?"

"What can I do, I want to come one by one."

"Who are you going to recommend for Pacific Rim 2?"

"It's not my turn to recommend anyone else. Thomas Tull directly decided on Tiantian."

"Why did Lu Zheng do such a thing again?" Cheng Yu'an was a little speechless to Lu Zheng.

But he and Liu Yifei really couldn't manage it. A big film company authorized "Pacific Rim 2" to Legendary Pictures, and Cheng Lingfeng and Cheng Yu'an didn't care.

Thomas Tull also asked Liu Yifei to recommend actors for the sake of face, but in fact he might not listen to her.

Tian Tian is now on the set of "The Great Wall" all day long, and has a lot of opportunities to get in touch with the staff of Legendary Films. It is too easy to get through this relationship.

Lu Zheng acted quickly, and directly gave Thomas Tull 5300 million U.S. dollars to win the leading actress for Tian Tian.

The quick start also made it much easier for Liu Yifei, so he didn't have to worry about who to recommend.

"For the bridesmaids, I have appointed Xiao Shu, Tian Tian, ​​Reba and Shi Shi."

Cheng Yu'an had no problem with the bridesmaids: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's only once in a lifetime, and hard work is deserved."

"Oh, by the way, are you going to Xiaoming's wedding?" Huang Xiaoming's wedding is scheduled for October.

"I can't go, I have been delayed for a whole year, and I have to make up for it at the end of this year." Although Liu Yifei wants to spend more time with the child after giving birth, Liu Yifei has too much work backlog, and he really can't delay, "You go , our family must send a representative to go."

In fact, Cheng Yuan also has a job in October, but as his wife said, the family has to send a representative.

"Okay, I'll go there."
