Light and shadow player

Chapter 886 End of August
On August 8, with "Ant-Man 24: The Wasp Appears", the domestic summer vacation basically came to an end.

During this period of time, there will be no major domestic blockbusters released, and the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies has basically been exhausted. It is just in time to release a Hollywood blockbuster to re-speculate it, so as not to let the market be deserted.

As of the day when "Ant-Man 2" was released, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was released for 52 days and won a total of 31 billion box office, becoming the biggest winner of this year's summer file.

The runner-up also came from a distance. "Along with the Gods 22", which was released for 2 days, won a box office of 27.24 billion. The total box office of the two films successfully broke through the 50 billion mark, fulfilling the original rhetoric.

No.3 is "The Richest Man in Xihong City" by Happy Twist, with a reported income of 26.77 billion, which is slightly inferior to "Along with the Gods 2".

The fourth and fifth places are "A Good Show" and "The Megalodon".

For this result, the film party is quite satisfied.

Especially Zhang Ziyi.

Now in China, it doesn’t matter whether you are forced or not. Besides, Zhang Ziyi is indeed full, and he has got all the three golds in Chinese.

Unless she gets three major awards or an Oscar, she will basically come to an end in terms of film awards.

What she is missing now is the box office results.

Although the 10 billion score of "Megalodon" is far from enough compared to those 50 billion movies.

But 10 billion is an important step. Don’t look at the current movies, which are 30 billion to 50 billion, but if you look closely, you will find that 10 billion is a very important threshold.

These people are the ones who get 10 billion, and these people are the ones who get 20 billion and 30 billion.

Therefore, Zhang Ziyi is quite satisfied with the achievement of 10 billion.

A rimmed heroine is a rimmed heroine, a Hollywood movie, not shabby.

The cost of the film was US$1.3 million, and the global box office exceeded 5 million.

She didn't screw up, and with this result, she is confident to break into Hollywood again.

However, before breaking into Hollywood, she had to find a new backer. Her best friend Wendi Deng is no longer available.

Who else, of course, is her good neighbor Cheng Yu'an.

But when she asked Liu Yifei about Cheng Yu'an's itinerary, Liu Yifei told her that Cheng Yu'an would be busy for a while.

"The late stage of "The Wandering Earth" has come to an end, and he has to watch the whole process; he also needs to watch the preparations of "My Motherland and Me"; in the United States, "Mulan" and "Green Book" both need him to stand , and there are countless supervisory and planning tasks, he may not have time to go home in the past few months." After Liu Yifei finished speaking, he asked Zhang Ziyi, "Is Miss Ziyi looking for something?"

"It's okay," Zhang Ziyi looked sloppy, "I can find him for anything. I just want to treat you two to dinner."

"It's good, treat us to dinner?" Liu Yifei smiled.

"That's right." Zhang Ziyi said, "Thank you Yu'an for recommending me to act in "Megalodon" and "Godzilla 2"."

"Ouch," Liu Yifei sighed, "Didn't you also agree to participate in "I Am an Actor"?"

Zhang Ziyi, who did not join the group, also maintained her exposure by relying on this phenomenon-level variety show. Her strict requirements for the profession of an actor and her professionalism in acting have really attracted a wave of fans for her.

Zhang Ziyi said beautiful words: "I also have a good intention to watch this show." He did not forget to invite Liu Yifei to join the team, "You will also go to the second season of next year and be a guest commentator."

Liu Yifei shook her head after hearing this: "Forgive me, I don't want to go to variety shows anymore."

Liu Yifei has been shadowed by variety shows since she went to "Running Man". She can't get these things, so she chooses to stay away from them.

Filming a variety show felt more tiring than her one-day filming on the set.

After joking for a while, Zhang Ziyi wanted to get some Hollywood news from Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei saw what she meant, but she really had no news to share with Zhang Ziyi.

"I will focus my work on China in the future. There are too few opportunities for Chinese Americans in the United States." Liu Yifei is currently unable to get any decent roles in Hollywood unless the company customizes her a heroine.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener does.Liu Yifei said that she will focus on China in the future. Does this mean that she has the opportunity to eat Liu Yifei's share in Hollywood?
Zhang Ziyi paid great attention to building a good relationship with Cheng Yuan and Liu Yifei. Even if Cheng Yuan was not at home, Zhang Ziyi still invited Liu Yifei to dinner alone.

When I heard that Liu Yifei was going to put Cheng Mufan in the kindergarten in front of her house, Zhang Ziyi said, "Why not put it in an international school?" Their family Xingxing is now two and a half years old, and they have negotiated with the kindergarten in the international school, and they will go there when school starts. .

"Is there any difficulty? I will solve it." Zhang Ziyi said.

"Actually, there is no difficulty," Liu Yifei said, "Her father originally said that she would be sent to an international school, but I disagreed, so I put it at the door of our house, and it only takes a few minutes to go back and forth, which seems convenient.

"I went to see that school a few days ago, and the conditions are quite good. Many children in the community study there, and Qiqi knows several of them.

"I paid Qiqi the registration fee in advance."

…………

On Saturday, the crew of "The Wandering Earth" released Uncle Da's personal poster.

The crew of "The Wandering Earth" will start publicity one after another.

The next day, Disney officially released the stills of "Mulan" and Liu Yifei's makeup photos for the first time.

In the stills, half of the real-life Liu Yifei's face is put together with half of the 98 animated Mulan's face, foretelling the inheritance of the live-action "Mulan" from the animated version.

And Liu Yifei's personal makeup photo adopts a pure black background. Liu Yifei is dressed in red with her hair covered, holding a knife in her right hand, making a pinch gesture with her left hand, and looking straight ahead with a serious face.

Disney Pictures does not have an official Weibo in China. Liu Yifei posted these two pictures by herself and said: See you on March 2019.3.15, [-].

"Mulan" is still in the post-production stage. Disney Pictures has seen the cut-cut clips and is very satisfied with Cheng Yu'an's shooting and Liu Yifei's performance. He praised: "I believe this will be Disney's best live-action movie."

At the end of the month, Cheng Yu'an held a topic selection meeting in the preparatory group of "My Motherland and Me".

Seven directors have been identified, and the selection of topics has been screened down to fifteen.

Today we will assign plays to each director.

Guo Fan chose "The Eve"; Han Yan wanted "Encounter"; Xu Shan chose "Win the Championship"; Xue Xiaolu wanted to make "Return"; Ning Hao decided to make "BJ Hello"; "Convoy" was very much to his liking.

When it was Zhang Yimou's turn, he smiled and said, "All of you are filming urban stories, let me film a rural scene..."

Cheng Yuan's eyelids twitched, Zhang Yimou wouldn't choose the theme of Shenzhou No. 11, right?

This theme is "Daytime Popularity" by Chen Kaige from the original time and space, a serious rural drama.

Cheng Yuan actually wanted to see how Zhang Yimou would write the script for this story, but it was a pity:
"The "Homeland" is very good. It talks about growing mushrooms in the countryside. I think it's very interesting."
