Actor: My Entertainment Era

"The King of Kung Fu" is scheduled to be released on the 24th of this month.

So Liu Yifei came again at the Golden Image Awards Ceremony on the 13th.

One is to promote the upcoming "The King of Kung Fu", and she is also an invited award presenter tonight.

She doesn't have a film contract in hand, and she is not in a hurry to join the group, so it is necessary to brush up her face in various venues to find a sense of presence.

So this sister really told the truth during the red carpet interview: "Recently I am busy with drama performances, and I have learned a lot from my seniors, but I haven't joined the group yet."

I couldn't fix it for the host, so I had to hastily end the interview and let her enter.

Zhang Yuanjun and Li Yang chose to continue filming.

It's not that I wasn't invited, it's that I didn't go.

Participating in a film festival requires a whole day. Zhang Yuanjun has no films to participate in the awards, no new film promotions, and no brand activities. Going there is just a waste of time.

Moreover, he didn't have a good impression of the Golden Statue Award, and he became more and more stingy, and now it has become a municipal commendation award. I heard that in recent years, it has been very difficult to attract sponsorship, and it is not interesting.

The two were unable to date on the 13th, Liu Yifei was busy with the awards ceremony, and Zhang Yuanjun had to stay up all night to catch up on the show.

The progress of "Detachment" is gratifying, and it is expected to be finished in two weeks.

After returning from Hong Kong Island, Liu Yifei was busy with the world premiere of "The King of Kung Fu" held in Beijing.

She will be very busy throughout late April and Labor Day.

The premiere ceremony was held in Chaoyang Park. The main creators and celebrity guests appeared one after another. The young lady walked onto the red carpet in a silver-gray scale off-the-shoulder dress.

On the 18th, the movie landed in the United States ahead of China, and Lionsgate launched 3151 theaters across the United States, becoming the most widely screened movie of the week.

The movie lived up to expectations, and it topped the weekly chart for the first three days in North America, earning US$2087 million.

In China, "The King of Kung Fu" was released on the 24th, and it earned 1600 million on the first day, and over one million on the first day of Hong Kong Island.

But the next day, some media criticized the film for its "weak plot" and "the double-J fight scene lost its style."

However, Huayi is still optimistic that "The King of Kung Fu" will exceed 8000 million in the first weekend, but the result is only [-] million.

If "The King of Kung Fu" was Hua Yi's project, then he would not have allowed Feng Xiaogang to say after the film was released, "The story of this film is fundamentally flawed and messy. I can't stand it. I don't understand why the US box office is so good." .”

At noon on the last Monday in April, Zhang Yuanjun finished filming the last scene of "Detachment".

He took a long breath and let go of the burden in his heart. "Detachment" is not an easy movie, and many characters in the film have not been able to detach themselves.

It took two months to shoot very quickly, but Zhang Yuanjun was very tired from shooting, not physically, but mentally and psychologically.

The whole group was finished, and the heroine Huang Lu hugged him tearfully. She was also very depressed when filming this scene.

"Okay, okay, you're two years older than me." Zhang Yuanjun patted her on the back.

The production team held a wrap-up banquet in the afternoon, stayed for one night, and returned to Beijing the next morning.

As for Peter Jackson, taking a step back from "The Ninth District", Zhang Yuanjun only needs to pay 1100 million US dollars to obtain 40% of the "Ninth District"'s profits.

The rest of the funds were made up by Sony, the publisher found by Peter Jackson.

It took so long to reply, it should be because we didn't agree with Sony.

Zhang Yuanjun slashed again after returning to Beijing, saying that he was only willing to pay 870 million.

After May Day, Zhang Yuanjun signed a contract with the film representatives in Beijing, agreeing that Z Studio would contribute 1000 million US dollars to acquire 40% of the investment in the sci-fi film "The Ninth District".Zhang Yuanjun also entrusted his friend Rodrigo Cortez as a representative to enter the crew as a producer, assisting and supervising the filming and post-production of the film.

How much can Yuanjun get out of these 1000 million Zhangs?

How could someone as smart as Zhang Yuanjun use his own money!

There was a ceremony when he signed the contract with "District [-]"!
Peter Jackson, director Neil Blomkamp and Sony's producers all went to the capital to support him - otherwise, Zhang Yuanjun would cut back on investment.

"Yuanjun, will you appear in "District [-]"?"

Zhang Yuanjun didn't tell the truth: "This cooperation is an investment act. As for whether to star or not, it depends on the director's choice."

"Why would you invest in a film like District Ninth?"

"Because I like sci-fi movies very much, "The Ninth District" has a good idea, so I just want to vote for some."

"Is it convenient to disclose the share of this investment and related rights and interests?"

"This is a commercial secret and cannot be discussed, but one thing we can say is that we can participate in global ledger sharing in "District [-]". I think this is of great significance."

Zhang Yuanjun didn't disclose the amount of investment because it was not all out of confidentiality. Wouldn't it be difficult to cut leeks if he revealed it!

The name Peter Jackson works well.

After the signing ceremony, Huayi and Bona took the initiative to contact Zhang Yuanjun.

There are quite a few people in the film industry who want to invest money outside, and the higher ups also encourage outside investment.

But Zhang Yuanjun didn't see any of them, and said to the outside world that he was busy raising funds for his new film "Source Code".

Huayi and Bernard stamped their feet angrily and cursed at the street.

This is taking advantage of the fire!

While casting American films, he said that he lacked money to make new films.

Don’t you just want a premium for doing this set?
Neither Huayi nor Bernard is short of money, especially Huayi, the current private leader who is preparing to go public, has plenty of money.

The general premium is acceptable to Huayi, and they don't mind paying for the ticket if they borrow a boat to go out to sea, but judging by Zhang Yuanjun's current state, he might bite him hard.

As soon as Huayi and Berna hesitated, someone immediately made a move—Orange Sky Entertainment!
Orange Sky's banknotes are only a lot more than Huayi and Berna's, and Wu Kebo is obviously more willing to spend money than the Wang Brothers and Yu Dong.

Orange Sky has been in a dilemma since its inception. There are money and people, but no one takes him to play.

To put it simply, you can use your artists, but without your money, you don't even want to participate in the project.

Orange Sky announced the acquisition of Golden Harvest with great fanfare, which also meant to make a name for itself.

Wu Kebo now has money that he can't spend, and the established studios won't let him play. A newcomer with strength and channels like Zhang Yuanjun has undoubtedly become his best choice.

As soon as Wu Kebo moved, Hua Yi and other old players in the circle couldn't sit still.

They allowed Zhang Yuanjun to enter the arena because Zhang Yuanjun has always been fighting alone, a personal studio, no matter what he does, he can't make waves, but they don't allow a rich and powerful giant like Cheng Tian to enter the arena. Will take a big slice of the cake.

Not to mention that Orange Sky's acquisition of Golden Harvest is basically a certainty. If Orange Sky uses Zhang Yuanjun's hand to make up for the shortcomings in film production, then Orange Sky will become a behemoth integrating film production, distribution, theaters, and artist management!

Therefore, Wang Zhonglei hurriedly invited Zhang Yuanjun to have dinner at Yujiangnan, and Zhang Yuanjun happily went to the appointment when he saw the fish taking the bait. (end of this chapter)
