Actor: My Entertainment Era

To be honest, Zhang Yuanjun's previous prediction for "The Lonely Agent" was over [-] million.

The total investment is just over 2000 million, and with the publicity and distribution of nearly 3000 million, the box office is over [-] million, which can be considered a relatively good explanation to investors.

It's not that Zhang Yuanjun has no confidence in the film. For his own film, he hopes to sell [-] billion or [-] million.

But there is not enough confidence in the market.

He couldn't understand the market more and more.

As a Douban netizen said, now is the era of pretty boys.

Male idols with long hair, bangs covering their eyes, small mouths, and thicker eyeshadow and blush than girls are very popular.

Tough guys seemed to disappear from television overnight.

Even Huang Xiaoming, the former No. [-] student, wore a long hair set to perform in "Bubble Summer"!
Although Zhang Yuanjun knew that this storm would last for several years, it would pass quickly.

But after experiencing it personally, he really couldn't figure out why the market became like this.

In addition, the era of top-grossing action movies has passed. Now, if an action movie can exceed [-] million, it can be regarded as a hit.

"Ip Man 2" exceeded 2 million and directly pushed Donnie Yen, who was almost confused, to the front line.

Therefore, Zhang Yuanjun didn't know in advance whether the audience would like to watch action movies like "The Lonely Agent".

Fortunately, the hard work finally paid off, and the audience still looks forward to and likes a sincerely produced action movie.

There is also good news. In the Korean market, which was released six days later in the Mainland, "The Lonely Agent" also performed very well!

More than 30 people watched the movie on the first day, creating the best first-day performance for a Chinese-language film in South Korea in recent years.

But Koreans are more xenophobic than Zhang Yuanjun imagined. They can accept Hollywood movies raging in their country, but they cannot accept a Chinese movie achieving such good results in their theaters.

When young people in South Korea learned that the movie came from China and that the lead actor was only 25 years old, they launched a joint boycott online, calling on them not to watch "The Alone Agent" and hoping that theaters would remove the movie from their shelves.

Poor Zhang Yuanjun thought that the movie was selling so well in Korea and he was very popular among Korean audiences, so he wanted to promise CJ to take people to Korea to meet the fans in a few days.

But upon hearing the news, Zhang Yuanjun lost all interest.

Although South Korean distributor Fang Xijie has repeatedly explained that this is just a small number of radical young people on the Internet causing trouble, it is nothing to worry about. They will not remove the movie from the shelves, and are still working to expand the screening.

But Zhang Yuanjun was unmoved.

"The Last Man" attracted 30 moviegoers on its first day in South Korea. It was a hit. Is CJ going crazy and boycotting it?

But CJ has no contractual restrictions on Zhang Yuanjun. The box office of "The Lonely Agent" in South Korea was bought out by CJ for US$800 million. How much the movie sells in South Korea is none of Zhang Yuanjun's business.

Zhang Yuanjun went to South Korea to promote, which was a way of giving face to the audience for CJ. If he didn't go, CJ would have nothing to do with Zhang Yuanjun.

Young people in Hong Kong also "boycotted" "The Lonely Agent", but Zhang Yuanjun was not worried at all because he knew that this group of people would not become a success.

But he doesn't think so about South Korea. This nation has extremely distorted national self-esteem, and its tactics are rather shady. Their "boycott" cannot be guaranteed to have a bad impact on the film.

He doesn't have time to go abroad for promotion now. "Inception" will come to China next week, and he will continue to promote "The Lonely Agent".

"City Alert" was blown away by "Alone". When the latter's box office exceeded 8000 million, it stumbled to 4000 million, with no hope of repaying the money.

"Love Announcement" was trembling during the schedule.

Although it is not in the same genre as "Inception", "Inception" has already gained momentum. Theaters predict that its final box office will be around 2 million. The only one that can end it is "Inception", which will be released next week.

But "Love Announcement" is bound to be influenced by "The Lonely Agent".

So the film crew launched the good sister tactic and actually asked the heroine Yang Mi to invite Liu Yifei to attend the premiere of "Love Announcement".

I don’t know what Liu Yifei was thinking, but she really went!Well, they are still good sisters now.

Zhang Yuanjun has no objection to this. "The Lonely Agent" is his film, not Liu Yifei's. Although Liu Yifei also promotes "The Lonely Agent" on Weibo, it won't hinder her to support other movies.

Liu Yifei definitely couldn't say that she had been approached for this film. Although Yang Mi knew that the number one choice for the heroine was Liu Yifei before she took the role. There were rumors in the industry at that time and it was easy to find out. Many reporters on the scene also knew about it, but there are some things. can not say.

Liu Yifei expressed her envy to Yang Mi after watching the movie: "I actually want to act in this kind of musical, but my singing and musical instruments are both average."

After the premiere, Liu Yifei and Yang Mi chatted for a long time backstage.

Yang Mi joked: "I'm miserable now. Your family is all chasing 2 million. We haven't even scheduled movies."

Liu Yifei laughed and said: "He also miscalculated the box office beforehand. He thought that if he could get 1 million, he would be able to explain it to investors. Now he didn't expect this situation."

Then he complained sadly: "Now we have to extend the promotion period. I haven't seen him for half a month."

Although Liu Yifei is only a guest, she is still the central figure that the crew of "Love Announcement" is popular with backstage.

Director Wang Lihong showed a very high enthusiasm for her, but as mentioned before, Liu Yifei has a deep-rooted impatience with strangers of the opposite sex. She can at best maintain basic politeness and politeness. Don't expect her to have any positive response.

Therefore, Liu Yifei’s response to Wang Lihong is this:

"Oh, thank you."

"is it?"

"Ah."

"Ha ha."

"No."

"busy these days."

"well enough."

She was more willing to talk to Zeng Yike than Wang Lihong.

But after saying a few words to Zeng, she felt a chill.

Now that it was summer, she couldn't tell what was going on. She just felt that Zeng was too enthusiastic about herself when they met for the first time.

Without saying a few words, she invited herself to visit her recording studio and said she could teach her how to DJ, play synthesizers, etc.

He also said that he would go to the theater to watch Liu Yifei's play when he has time.

Liu Yifei didn't think about it wrongly, but she also felt that she stayed too long today and the cat at home hadn't been fed yet. She had to go back to feed the cat.

"It's getting late. I haven't fed the cat at home yet, so I'm going back first. I wish you a great sale." Liu Yifei waved her fist and was about to leave with her assistant.

Zeng Yike said, "Do you still have a cat at home?"

Who in the entertainment industry doesn’t know that Liu Yifei’s family has both cats and dogs?
"Yes." Liu Yifei smiled.

"I also like cats very much. Can I come to your house and see you?" It's almost 10 o'clock in the evening.

Liu Yifei was stunned and her reaction was a little slow, but she was a person who was very good at rejecting others. She smiled politely and said, "No, my cat is so disgusting that even my boyfriend almost got scratched by it."

Finished and left.

On the way back in the car, the assistant told Liu Yifei very firmly: "There is something wrong with that Zeng."

Liu Yifei didn't ask what was wrong. She nodded and said yes, indicating that she understood. (End of chapter)
