I'm a movie star on earth

Chapter 146

December 2012, a memorable month, was born in this month, the first film in the history of domestic films to exceed one billion.

At first, no one expected that "People on the Journey: Lost in Thailand" would perform so crazy at the box office, even Xu Zheng, who is the director and starring role, did not expect it.

The film was premiered on December 12. After the midnight show made 12 million box office, it was out of control. It made 101.7 million box office on the first day, 3871.5 million box office on the second day, and 3909.3 million box office on the third day of release. The box office of the film exceeded 5379.2 million.

The scariest thing was Saturday on the fourth day. Due to the good word-of-mouth, the box office rose sharply. It took 9051.7 million box office that day, and another 8536.2 million box office on Sunday, and the box office reached 3.08 million in the first week.

After the first week, "People on the Journey: Lost in Thailand" has not diminished its momentum and continues to gallop in theaters, causing a huge impact on other films in the Lunar New Year file, including Cheng Long's new movie "Zodiac".

"Zodiac" was released on December 12, and "Lost in Thailand" still earned 20 million box office on this day, and "Thailand" earned 3613.6 million box office the day before.The two films collided on the first day, and "Zodiac" was slightly better, with a box office of 5044.7 million on the first day, and won the box office champion of the day.

This week, the two films competed fiercely. On the 21st, "Zodiac" earned 4841.3 million box office, barely retaining the box office champion of the day. On Sunday, the 22rd, it made 6941.7 million box office and lost the weekly box office champion.

"Zodiac" is the first film that Lee Hyuk starred in. At that time, there was a little unpleasantness during the filming, and because of this, Lee Hyuk almost lost the male lead of "Dragon King of Shendu".Later, there was a little trouble in the publicity, which caused Li He to have a bad impression of "Zodiac", including Cheng Long.

But no matter what, this is also a work he starred in. Li Hyuk still did his best to promote this movie on Weibo, calling on fans to watch this movie.

In fact, movies are an obvious manifestation of the box office appeal of stars. In the past, people divided stars into those who could fight the box office as stars, and those who could not fight were called actors.

Perhaps due to the influence of Li Hyuk's call, the box office of "The Chinese Zodiac" has not dropped much, and it has maintained a good performance. Seeing that the box office of "People on the Journey: Lost in Thailand" has exceeded one billion, "The Chinese Zodiac" is working hard. Maybe it can break through.

More investment, more output, several major investors and producers have increased investment in publicity.Brother Cheng Long is in his 50s and travels all over the country to promote his movies, which is hard enough.

Li He was not let go either. Although he was filming in Hengdian, he was also called to stand on the platform during Hangzhou Jinling Shanghai promotion.When he was at Shanghai Propaganda Station, his elder brother Cheng Long apologized to Li He.

"I'm sorry Xiaohe, I didn't expect that incident to cause you such a big trouble." The elder brother Cheng Long's attitude was very sincere.

Needless to say which one was the matter, everyone knew that Old Freak Xu must have asked his eldest brother Cheng Long.

Li He waved his hands and said, "It's okay, big brother, nothing happened, right?"

"You are a good actor, my subordinates are not strict in discipline, go back and restrain them well." Cheng Long said.

"It's okay, it's okay, we all work together, and it's normal to have disagreements sometimes." Liao Fan smoothed things over by the side, as both mainland actors, Liao Fan and Li He got along better.

Liao Fan stayed longer and felt the arrogance of those Hong Kong filmmakers the most.

Cheng Long patted Li He on the shoulder and revealed the matter: "Next time I prepare a new film, I will ask you to be the leading role."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Long went out, and Liao Fan looked at Li He enviously: "Yes, Brother Cheng Long's new film, you have developed."

Li He smiled and said: "It's okay, Brother Liao Fan, next time we drink together, I have to go back to Hengdian, so I won't stay any longer."

"Okay, you go slowly..."

This is Li He's first feeling that the eldest brother is getting old. Cheng Long is worthy of being a superstar in the Chinese film industry. His achievements are unparalleled, but people will eventually grow old and change.Li He had a premonition that he might witness a story about the twilight of a superstar next.

Back on the set, Feng Shaofeng came over and asked him how he felt on the set of "Zodiac".

Li Hyuk replied: "What else can I do, that's it!"

"Then "Zodiac" will be the last work of the elder brother?" Feng Shaofeng asked curiously.

Li He shook his head and said: "Whether the last work is too late, maybe it will turn to the backstage like Master Xing, or retreat to the second line. When Shang Hai was promoting it, my brother even invited me to participate in his next movie."

"Damn it, you're well-developed, big brother's movie is full of attention and box office, and now "Zodiac" has broken through [-] million." Feng Shaofeng envied.

Li He shook his head and didn't say much, "The Twelve Zodiac" may be the last glory of the big brother, let's watch and cherish it...

In addition to movies, "Legend of Chu and Han" starring Li Hyuk has also officially landed on various David TVs. This historical drama directed by the famous director Gao Xixi has attracted a lot of attention since the beginning of preparation.

The production cycle is as long as one and a half years, which makes the TV series keep improving, the scenes are magnificent, and the production is excellent. These are the slogans shouted by the film crew.But after the audience watched it, they felt that this TV series was not as well-produced as advertised.

Li Hyuk played the absurd second emperor Hu Hai in it. He just entered the industry when he was filming this movie, but Li Hyuk's acting skills have never been worrying.

Perhaps it was too self-confidence, coupled with the mixed filming of the two scripts, which made the plot of "Legend of Chu and Han" a bit messy.Chen Daoming was praised for his acting skills before, but he was criticized in this play, thinking that his performance of Liu Bang was not like Liu Bang.

The same is true for He Rundong, who is used to playing the role of a fierce general, but He Rundong obviously does not have the temperament of a fierce general, and Xiang Yu is not what the audience wants at all.But he received a little less criticism than Chen Daoming, and He Rundong was actually a pretty good one in the whole show.

On the contrary, the second emperor Hu Hai played by Li Hyuk was highly praised. The audience said that Li He played Hu Hai alive, as if Hu Hai was like this in history.

Coupled with the support of Li Hyuk's fans, the ratings of "Legend of Chu and Han" are extremely weird. When there is Hu Hai, it goes up, and when it doesn't, it goes down.

This abnormal phenomenon has attracted the attention of many people in the industry. Reminiscent of Li Hyuk's performance as the king of "Star You" in the TV drama market, everyone knows that Li Hyuk is the lucky star of ratings.

"Legend of Chu and Han" also understands it very well. It focuses on promoting the role of Hu Hai, intending to save the ratings. However, Hu Hai has very few opportunities to use it, and there are not many scenes. Moreover, Hu Hai went offline in the 38th episode.

So far, the average ratings of "Legend of Chu and Han" are only 0.86, which is not satisfactory for a year-end drama.Fortunately, the producer has made money. Thanks to the hot TV drama market, the price of a single episode of TV dramas remains high, which makes "Legend of Chu and Han" pay back and make a small profit.
