Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 752 Leaving Beijing
Last year's market decline continued into the Spring Festival.

As the most important period of the year, this year’s Spring Festival stalls were “the strongest Spring Festival stalls in history” during the previous warm-up period.

Zhou Xingchi, Xu Ke, Jackie Chan, Wang Baoqiang, Han Han, etc. are all in this schedule.

However, the 7-day record of 31 billion failed to exceed last year’s 36 billion.

The overall reputation of the Spring Festival stalls is not as good as last year.

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" had a good start, but its reputation plummeted. Zhou Xingchi's feelings were no longer useful in this film. Many viewers said "I no longer owe you."

Jackie Chan's "Kung Fu Yoga" has become the most-scheduled movie during the Spring Festival.

Bao Qiang's "Havoc in Tianzhu" - actually "囧" - won the box office but was scolded by the audience. It can also be seen from "Inside Out" how strong the demand for movies during the Spring Festival is now. Such a movie can also take in 7 million in 5.83 days.

The one with the best reputation during the Spring Festival is actually Han Han's "Riding the Wind and Waves".

Luo Jin took advantage and showed off his comedy talent in "Riding the Wind and Waves", which led to a steady stream of film appointments.

The big movie "Bear Bears" is neither surprising nor exciting. Now it is the fourth movie. It is released on time every year without much publicity. It takes away its own money at this time of year.

No one could have imagined that "Bear Bears" would become the most successful animated film in Chinese film history.

Liu Yifei wanted to go to the movies, but she couldn't leave.

She also apologized for causing her family to have a bad year due to her giving birth.

But neither her parents-in-law nor her parents blamed her for this issue.

"What are you talking about? You gave us a pair of twins on the first day of the new year. This is the happiest year we have ever lived."

Work started on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Zhang Yuanjun handed out a large number of red envelopes at the studio's opening meeting. He and his wife shared a large team of 2017 people, each of whom received yuan in starting profit, plus a box of wedding candies.

"Boss, when can I go and see Yifei?" An employee asked to visit the landlady.

"Okay, you choose a few representatives and I will take you there in a few days." Zhang Yuanjun naturally agreed to this request.

Work started today. Zhang Yuanjun stayed in the studio for a whole day and went home at night.

The family had been bustling with people since before the birth, but now only he and the nanny were there. The gap between the front and back of the family was so big that Zhang Yuanjun was not used to it.

Zhang's mother decided to stay in the capital and take care of the baby dragon and phoenix herself.

After dinner at home, Zhang Yuanjun drove to the confinement center to be with his wife.

The next day, at Liu Yifei's urging, Zhang Yuanjun boarded a flight to the United States.

"John Wick 2" is about to be released, Liu Yifei wants him to do whatever he wants.

Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei not only announced the news of having twins in China, but also synchronized this happy event with fans around the world on their Instagrams and Twitter.

At an event in the United States, Zhang Yuanjun explained the reason for his previous absence from the Los Angeles premiere of "John Wick 2":

"Crystal gives birth and I have to be with her."

The host played the photos of Zhang Yuanjun with his children and wife on the big screen and congratulated Zhang Yuanjun again.

On the show, Zhang Yuanjun humorously said that taking care of babies is not an easy task for him. "Although there are professional nurses, I am the father of the child after all. I want to learn to do something for the child, but I am always clumsy. Crystal thinks I am not doing well."

Referring to the movie "John Wick 2", Zhang Yuanjun said: "Although this is a relatively bloody R-rated action movie, I think my children will be proud of me." After a few seconds, Zhang Yuanjun began to say: " After all, I still have Cannes and Venice trophies.”

The host was amused by Zhang Yuanjun's remarks: "Of course, with such a father, your children will be proud of you."

"Judging from the premiere, "John Wick 2" has gained a good reputation. Are there any plans to shoot a third part?" The host asked this question at the end of the show.

Zhang Yuanjun said: "As an actor, I hope John's story can continue forever, but this depends on the movie's profitability and the company's arrangements. So everyone buys tickets so that there will be a third part."

"Ok, thank you for coming to our show, and congratulations again on becoming a father."

"Thank you." Zhang Yuanjun thanked the audience and ended today's recording.

Zhang Yuanjun stayed in the United States for two days, took five interviews, recorded three programs, and then flew back to Asia.

Some Asian countries and regions will release the film earlier than North America, so Zhang Yuanjun must take care of Asian audiences.

First stop, Bay Island!

For the first "John Wick", Bay Island audiences contributed US$300 million to the box office. It is considered an important box office and deserves respect.

Wandao audiences have mixed feelings about Zhang Yuanjun. On the one hand, although not many of his plays have been screened in Wandao, their results are pretty good. In addition, he has made such a big name in the international film industry. The Western media praised him as the "Prince of Asian Films" and "The Most Successful Chinese Actor after Jackie Chan". He is like the light of Asian films. On the other hand, he is from mainland China. This makes the people of Bay Island unwilling to admit Zhang Yuanjun's status in the world film industry, and even less willing to admit that Zhang Yuanjun is the calling card of Asian movies - in their eyes, the calling card of Asian movies is and can only be Li An.

It's puzzling to say that apart from Hollywood movies, Zhang Yuanjun's most influential movie in Asia is actually "The Lonely Agent" released in 10!
The movie has done very well at the box office in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and is also popular in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and other countries.

Until last year, Zhang Yuanjun could get more than one million US dollars in revenue from this movie, more than half of which came from Asia.

Zhang Yuanjun arrived at Wandao in the morning and was about to take a rest when he was informed that Jiao Xiongping was asking for a meeting.

He is a local snake in the Bay Island, and we have interacted with each other before, but it seems inappropriate.

Zhang Yuanjun received Jiao Xiongping in his hotel room.

Jiao Xiongping first congratulated Zhang Yuanjun on the birth of twins, and then expressed his willingness to cooperate during the chat. Zhang Yuanjun thought these were just polite words. He was tired of hearing this because a film producer said he wanted to cooperate with him.

Jiao Xiongping and Zhang Yuanjun chatted for about ten minutes and then left. Before leaving, he said: "In the future, we will have more contacts in the mainland, and harmony will make us rich."

means something.

Zhang Yuanjun was not used to it and said with a smile: "Everyone wants to be harmonious and make money, but they are afraid that some people will pick up the bowl to eat meat and put down the bowl to curse."

Jiao Xiongping smiled and left without answering.

In the afternoon, "John Wick 2" held a fan meeting in a certain theater. More than a hundred media and audiences came to the scene, making it very lively.

Zhang Yuanjun also has a Bay Island movie fan branch.

After the activity lasted for 40 minutes, Zhang Yuanjun left.

The next morning, he appeared at the event in Thailand. After attending the event, he returned to the United States.
