Huayu started from the fairy sword

Chapter 523 "Journey to the West" broke the record, and the girlfriends had a great time.

Song Yi must be disappointed that Cao Jun rejected this request.

Seeing that Song Yi was in a low mood, Cao Jun said earnestly, "Xiao Yi, don't think Brother Jun is stingy, and he is reluctant to let you play Zhao Min."

"I don't let you play Zhao Min, it's for your own good, think about it for yourself, I am willing to let you be the heroine of the movie "33 Days of Broken Relationship", why not let you play Zhao Min?"

"It's very simple, because you are not suitable, you are not suitable for the role of Zhao Min. If you are not suitable, I will force you to play it, which will not only affect the reputation of the work, but also make you scolded..."

Under Cao Jun's patient persuasion, Song Yi finally figured it out and accepted this reality.

Song Yi has reason to believe that Cao Jun did not let her play Zhao Min for her own good, not because he was unwilling to give her good resources.

Moreover, for Jin Yong's "Trilogy of the Condor Heroes", Cao Jun planned to shoot "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" first, and after "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he would film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and finally "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

However, Cao Jun also has a headache. It is not easy to choose the right actor and actress for "Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Cao Jun even thought about coming out to play Guo Jing himself, but he didn't know who would be suitable to play Huang Rong with him.

Because the role of Huang Rong is one of the most popular female characters of Jin Yong fans, not even one.

If the actress who plays Huang Rong is not chosen well, it may affect the performance of the whole play.

The next day, February 2th, the first day of the new year.

The movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", directed by Zhou Xingchi and starring Cao Jun, Shu Qi, Huang Bo, Luo Zhixiang and others, was released nationwide.

It is worth mentioning that "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is Zhou Xingchi's first work in five years after "Yangtze River No. [-]". With the continuation of his classic work "Journey to the West" creative thinking, as well as the golden schedule of the Spring Festival, movie fans will enjoy watching the movie. Enthusiasm is naturally high.

Naturally, the theater will not let go of this golden business opportunity. On the first day of the film's release, the top 9608 cities in the country have given a super high number of films as high as [-] shows.

With the help of a strong film schedule ratio of 39.86%, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" also became a hit at the box office.

In addition to "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", three films including "Better and Better Village Night" co-directed by Zhang Yibai and Xie Dongshen, and "Love Is Not NG" by Zhu Shimao were released at the same time, setting off the first confrontation in the Spring Festival.

As of 10:23 on the 6800th, the first-day box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has exceeded 7000 million, and it is expected to hit a record of over [-] million on the first day.

This number has surpassed the record of 4500 million on the first day of "Lost in Thailand" directed by Cao Jun, and has become the runner-up of the first-day box office of Chinese-language movies.

If the box office breaks through 7000 million as expected, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" will beat "Painted Skin 2" and become the box office champion of Chinese-language movies on the first day of its release.

It is worth mentioning that during the Spring Festival last year, the total national box office exceeded 4 million, and according to expert analysis, this year's total box office will exceed 5 million.

The strong opening of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" shows that its final box office will be a very impressive figure.

Although the first day of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has been very successful at the box office, its reputation has been polarized.

The focus of the controversy between the pros and cons is focused on the "feelings" triggered by "produced by Zhou Xingchi".

"The first work in five years" and "the 'sequel' of the classic "Journey to the West" is a rumored work", these gimmicks have infinitely magnified the expectations of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

But in fact, Zhou Xingchi didn't think about rebuilding a building, and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" did more "decoration".

This fact, in the eyes of audiences with different values, has become a watershed to distinguish between good and bad films.

Fans who like the film believe that "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" maintains the usual Zhou Xingchi-style comedy passages, which is worthy of praise.

Film critic Yingzhi said that "Journey to the West" made people laugh from beginning to end, and Zhou Xingchi from "Kung Fu" is back.

Luo Yonghao also said across the border that there is only one Zhou Xingchi in the world who can achieve the level of mental illness in nonsensical comedy.

Other netizens who expressed their "likes" also said that the soundtrack of "The Love of My Life" and the setting of the love scene of women chasing men, etc., are all nostalgic links that can easily make people think of "Journey to the West". It is easy to accept and enjoy it.

A small number of movie fans who disagreed said that although "Journey to the West" has a strong nostalgic complex, it does not show new imagination, because it is too "fried rice" and makes people feel boring.

Zhu Bai, a well-known critic, said that Shu Qi and Huang Bo are both brilliant and ugly, and Cao Jun's Tang Sanzang is also refreshing.

The film critic NPC Qiqi believes that the soundtrack that goes all the way to the black, the old wine in new bottles of Tathagata Palm and Iron Fist, are more repetitive than innovative.

Although the reviews of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" tend to be polarized, generally speaking, praise outweighs criticism.

On Douban and Time, the two major domestic movie rating websites, the ratings of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" reached 7.6 and 7.9 points. The performance is not particularly elegant, but the score is already good.

According to incomplete statistics on the first day of release, the first-day box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" finally reached about 7200 million yuan, which has surpassed the 4500 million box office of "On the Journey: Lost in Thailand" and also surpassed "Painted Skin 2" The domestic box office record for a Chinese-language film was 7000 million on the first day.

In other words, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" broke the single-day box office record of "Painted Skin 2" and became the highest-grossing movie in the history of Chinese movies.

However, Cao Jun was not too excited that the film "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" achieved such excellent results, because no matter how good the film's performance was, it was all due to Zhou Xingchi, and it would not be attributed to him.

Moreover, Cao Jun is not short of money, and it is the New Year's Eve, so he really doesn't want to make himself too tired and busy.

Therefore, Cao Jun, one of the leading actors and investors of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", only wished his family a happy new year on Weibo, and promoted the movie by the way.

Of course, it's not that Cao Jun doesn't cooperate with the promotion, he will also spare time in the next few days to cooperate with the film promotion in Beijing, Shanghai and other places.

Throughout the first day of the new year, Cao Jun didn't go anywhere, just stayed at home, and even brought Liu Shishi, Song Yi, and Zhang Hanyun together to make dumplings at home.

Although Cao Jun has never disclosed their love affair, the three of them more or less know each other's existence.

But this time, Cao Jun specially called the three of them to Dongshan Villa to celebrate the New Year with them, and he didn't want to neglect any of them, so he simply called them all together.

Because they are both long-term artists of Century Film and Television Company, although they know each other is a rival in love, because of Cao Jun's relationship, they still pretend to be ordinary colleagues and talk and laugh without any dissatisfaction.
