Actor: My Entertainment Era
Chapter 376 Before Vacation
Chapter 376 Before Vacation
The global film market was very deserted in March, and the United States was no exception.
Before "Never Ended" was released, it was quite favored by film critics and was considered to be "a masterpiece that will inspire the North American film market." However, at the same time, theaters and distributors expressed concerns. Although Zhang Yuanjun has the Cannes Best Actor by his side, he also has " "Buried Alive" and "Inception" are masterpieces, but he is Chinese and many people in North America still don't know him. His name may not attract audiences to the cinema.
"Never Ending" was released with trepidation amid such contradictory reviews.
The results exceeded everyone's expectations, including the lead actor Zhang Yuanjun.
New Line felt that "Never Ended" was only profitable.
However, the film took in US$660 million on the first day and US$1890 million in the first three days of the weekend, topping the box office list that week.
Film critics are not very satisfied with this result. Although it topped the weekly box office, the 1890 million was only a little more than half of the previous week's box office champion "Battle of Los Angeles", and it did not have the effect of "inspiring the North American movie market" as they said.
However, New Line and Zhang Yuanjun are satisfied with this result, and very satisfied!
The opening weekend grossed 1900 million U.S. dollars, and the North American box office will definitely exceed 7000 million. It shouldn't be difficult to earn over [-] million overseas if you close your eyes.
When Chinese actors want to make their mark in Hollywood, there is almost no other choice except action movies.
Jackie Chan, Li Lianlian, and Yang Ziqiong are all like this.
Zhang Ziyi is not included. She gained fame in the international film industry with her literary films in her early years. International Zhang is also talking about her achievements in literary films. She has not been able to star in a Hollywood commercial film until now.
Zhang Yuanjun may be the first Chinese actor to break into Hollywood without relying on action movies.
From "Buried Alive" to "Inception" to "Never Ending", his roles are mostly literary and dramatic.
"Never End" won the North American Weekly Championship, making the domestic media and his fans extremely excited.
"Hollywood Report. "Never Ending" co-starring Zhang Yuanjun and veteran actor Robert De Niro hit North American theaters last Friday. This is Zhang Yuanjun's first mainstream commercial film as the male lead in Hollywood, with a revenue of 1900 million US dollars "The film's outstanding performance helped the film top the North American box office list last week, and Zhang Yuanjun's outstanding performance won him the love of Hollywood audiences. "Never Ending" is currently seeking to expand its screening, and I believe the film will continue to be loved by global audiences."
But a small cost is a small cost after all, and the US$1900 million in the first weekend in North America is not enough to be called a "hit".
Zhang Yuanjun sees it very clearly, but "Never Ending" can indeed be said to have succeeded in making a big difference out of a small thing.
At least Z Studio has once again shown its face in Hollywood and successfully attracted the attention of investors.
"Neil, do you remember the idea we came up with last year?" After finishing the last leg of promotion in North America, Zhang Yuanjun took Eddie to find Neil Berg, the director of "Never Ending."
Neil Burger briefly recalled the conversation with Zhang Yuanjun during the filming last year: "Of course I remember. You talked about the development of the human brain at that time, and I said we could shoot a new story from another angle. Zhang, what do you want? Do you want to make a story like this?"
"I have thought about it. I have already made "Never End", so I am not suitable to make another film of the same type. Otherwise, the audience will say that I am not enterprising."
"Of course, you are the Best Actor at Cannes after all, so you should pursue art films." Neil Berg understood Zhang Yuanjun's thoughts very well, ""Never End" was indeed too easy for you in terms of performance."
"So, I hope to make a similar type of female story." Zhang Yuanjun said.
Neil Berg reacted immediately: "For Crystal?"
"Of course." Zhang Yuanjun did not deny it.
"You are so kind to her." Neil Borg smiled.
Zhang Yuanjun stayed in the United States for another two days, chatting with Neil Borg about the general conceptual design of "Superbody", and then left the rest to Eddie to deal with him.
Neil Burger told Zhang Yuanjun before he left the United States: ""Never End" has come to an end. I want to go to France for a vacation to rest for a while and come back to make new films."
"Of course," Zhang Yuanjun smiled, "I am also going on vacation. Only by relaxing can I work better. I wish you a pleasant journey, Neil."
"Thank you." Neil and Eddie said goodbye to Zhang Yuanjun and went their separate ways.
…………
In China, as the boss lady, Liu Yifei passed on Zhang Yuanjun’s words and gave a dozen people in the studio a holiday: "Everyone worked hard last year, and there is nothing to do during this time. Boss Zhang invites you to go to Indonesia for a week." Then she unceremoniously put herself Several people from the team also joined the team.
After settling in her employees, she packed her luggage and headed for the airport with her assistant.
The reporter followed her to the airport, thinking that she was here to pick up Zhang Yuanjun, because Zhang Yuanjun had been away from the country for a while, and the box office of "Never Ended" had stabilized, so it was time for him to come back.
But seeing that both Liu Yifei and her assistant were carrying luggage, she took the initiative to ask Liu Yifei: "Are you going somewhere?"
"Well, let's go out and do some errands." Liu Yifei said.
The reporter saw that Liu Yifei did not want to reveal where she was going, but she still asked: "Where are you going? Do you have any work?"
Liu Yifei didn't say anything, and her assistant replied politely: "It's really not convenient to disclose Yifei's itinerary, please forgive me."
The reporter smiled awkwardly, expressed understanding, and asked: "The box office of "Never End" is so good, what do you think?"
Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei laughed and said, "You should ask him about this. I didn't act in this film."
"How do you feel when your boyfriend's movie is a hit?"
"I watched "Never Ending", and his acting was just average." Liu Yifei said with a smile.
Reporters never expected that Liu Yifei would say this: "We will really say what you said, and Zhang Yuanjun will see you and say that his acting is average."
Liu Yifei continued: "It's okay. At home, I said his acting was average."
"Then how does he usually evaluate your acting at home?" the reporter asked.
"I said his acting was average, and he said I wasn't committed to my acting." Liu Yifei laughed.
After some gossip, the reporter speculated whether Liu Yifei's trip had something to do with her new film. Currently, Liu Yifei's only public film appointment is a literary film "Her".
But the reporter's speculation was denied by Liu Yifei: "Don't guess, I won't tell you."
After the brief visit, Liu Yifei entered the terminal.
During this trip, she first flew from Beijing to Dubai, then transferred from Dubai to Athens to meet her boyfriend.
Yes, she went on vacation!
She originally didn't want to take her assistant Cindy with her, but Zhang Yuanjun took off from Boston after work, and Xiao Zhao followed.
Assistant Zhang Yuanjun gave her boss a trip to Athens, and it seemed unfair to Liu Yifei not to take Cindy with her.
After flying to Dubai for nearly 9 hours, Liu Yifei waved her hand and took Cindy on a luxury shopping trip in Dubai. All the proceeds from the shopping were sent back to domestic counters, and she would pick them up when Liu Yifei returned to China.
When Liu Yifei landed in Athens, Zhang Yuanjun came to pick her up. It was spring in Greece. Zhang Yuanjun wore a pure white inner layer, a thin washed blue denim jacket, a pair of black casual pants, and a pair of white cloth shoes.
Sunny and cheerful boy.
"You do know how to enjoy yourself. When did you come?"
"We arrived yesterday. The weather here is so comfortable." Zhang Yuanjun said all the way while driving Liu Yifei back to the hotel in a rented car.
"I'm here for a vacation, so you have to make arrangements for me."
"Don't worry, the service will definitely satisfy you." Zhang Yuanjun smiled.
"Ah, it's great. I can finally go out and have fun regardless of work." The weather in Athens was very good today, and Liu Yifei stretched out a lot.
I’ll write about my vacation routine later.
