Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 756 Interested

"John Wick 2" was released in China on the same day as the "Assassin's Creed" movie.

Before the screening, the media was igniting the two movies, which is normal.

The vice president of Maoyan who was responsible for the introduction of "John Wick 2" made harsh words: "Yuan Jun's domestic appeal cannot be compared to that of Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard. "John Wick" The first film earned over 5 million yuan in China and accumulated a large number of fans. We will definitely win this competition.”

The fact is indeed as Maoyan said, "John Wick 2" achieved an excellent first-day score of 1.27 million, almost catching up with the first weekend score of 1.88 million.

As for the "Assassin's Creed" movie, it turns out that the game can't make waves in the movie market. The first-time revenue was less than 4000 million, which was not as much as "John Wick 2".

"John Wick 2" won another 1.55 million yuan the next day on Saturday. That night, when the movie channel reported on the market observation, it praised "John Wick 2" by name, saying that it "ignited the sluggish program. "Aftermarket". At the same time, through the great sales of this movie, the movie channel called Zhang Yuanjun "the Chinese actor who has achieved the highest achievement in Hollywood after Jackie Chan. Zhang Yuanjun is good at both business and literature. He is our country's leader in world movies." Another flag for the altar.”

Very high rating.

Douban gave "John Wick 2" a high score of 7.9 when it was released in the United States. Now that it has been officially released in China, a large number of movie fans have flocked to review websites such as Douban to write down their thoughts after watching the movie.

"I know he is unreasonable, but he played so handsomely, so cool!"

"90% of the movie theaters are male. Where can I buy bulletproof suits?"

Of course, some people will eventually criticize the movie script for being crude: "Does this movie have a screenwriter? What do screenwriters do for a living!"

But there is no way, Derek Kolstad, this fat white guy, is a mess, he is good at writing this kind of story that blows other people's heads off if they don't agree with each other.

Although Derek has various problems, neither the company nor Zhang Yuanjun intend to replace him.

The "John Wick" series is a global hit, which means that the audience likes to watch this kind of thing. In order to keep the crew stable, those who can move will try to move as much as possible.

The company also set the tone for "John Wick" as "a pure action cinema", focusing on action scenes, even though the male lead Zhang Yuanjun is best at literary dramas.

The simple plot did not affect the film's success at all.

Domestic audiences are no different from audiences in other countries and regions around the world. They also like to watch exciting action scenes, and they also allow the crew to partially sacrifice the plot and lines for the excitement of the scenes.

"John Wick 2" grossed 3.87 million domestically in the first three days of its first weekend, firmly occupying the top spot at the box office in February after the holidays.

In interviews, theater managers made no secret of their love for Zhang Yuanjun: "We all like to schedule Zhang Yuanjun's films. The audience recognizes him, and he can efficiently attract a large number of viewers to the theater. We are the best theater in the city center here. , 6-9 pm, the best time, there are two halls for "John Wick 2", the attendance is very good...mostly young audiences, usually come in groups. "

The manager of Capital Wanda predicted the final box office of "John Wick 2": "It should be around 8 million. Two Hollywood blockbusters will be introduced next week, "Wolverine 3" and "Resident Evil 6". "John Wick 2" will have a big impact."

But then again, this kind of relay release is a relatively good phenomenon. There are blockbuster movies every week, theaters make money, audiences have movies to watch, and the market is prosperous. It’s a triple win!
Zhang Yuanjun had another script reading with the crew of "The God of Medicine" in the past few days. On Sunday, he took his wife to Hong Kong Island during the day and came back in the evening.

On this day, Zhang Yuanjun was playing with two children in the confinement center. The little ones finally stayed awake, and Zhang Yuanjun wanted to play as much as he could.

The child doesn't know how to make expressions yet, but when someone talks to or plays with him, he will stare and open his mouth slightly to express welcome.

"The child's hands and feet are so soft." Zhang Yuanjun is currently folding his son, "He can do such movements."

Mother Zhang held her granddaughter in her arms and talked to her: "Who are you? Are you Yu Fei? Who am I? I am grandma and this is grandpa."

The little girl looked at her grandma and pursed her lips in response.

Seeing her little granddaughter pouting, Zhang’s mother said, “Are you hungry?”

Liu Yifei said: "You fed her before you came here, and she just responded to what you said."

Zhang's mother smiled and said: "Oh, our little baby can understand what grandma is talking about." Zhang Yufei also smiled at grandma.

"Yo yo yo, you're still smiling at me. You're so good."

Zhang's father also wanted to see his granddaughter smile, so he hugged Zhang and Fei: "Come, grandpa, give them a hug."

The little girl didn't cry or make trouble.

Mother Zhang had no granddaughter to hold, so she snatched her grandson away from Zhang Yuanjun.

This is a warm and beautiful picture of a family, but someone comes to spoil the fun.

The staff of the confinement center suddenly said that someone came to visit Liu Yifei.

In this kind of high-end confinement club, except for the mother's family, visitors generally need to make an appointment in advance and obtain the consent of the mother or her family.

Even the last time the elders came to visit, they notified the club one day in advance.

Temporary visits like today are rare and very rude.

Zhang’s father asked: “Who is coming?”

The club staff said: "Mr. Ma."

"Which Mr. Ma?" The Zhang family knows too many Mr. Ma.

"Ari's Mr. Ma."

Dad Zhang actually doesn’t want to see him. The Zhang family started out as a catering company. The catering group is headquartered in Pengcheng, and he is familiar with Mr. Ma there. Dad Zhang’s low-key personality doesn’t like Mr. Ma’s behavior of giving lectures and acting as a teacher everywhere. , the two of them are fair-weather friends who know each other but have no friendship.

But everyone has already arrived at the door, and it would be inappropriate to not see them.

Zhang's father and Zhang's mother handed the child to the nurse: "Take the child to rest. Please invite them in."

Within a few minutes, Teacher Ma and his party were brought in.

Teacher Ma was easy to talk to, so he apologized first: "I should have informed you in advance, but I came here rashly. I apologize for my sin."

Zhang’s father said it didn’t matter, he just wanted to come and visit.

Teacher Ma smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, I didn't come to see you today. I didn't even know you were there. I came to see Yifei and Yuanjun."

Zhang's father didn't care: "Yifei is the oldest in our family now, what can I see?"

Teacher Ma greeted Liu Yifei and Zhang Yuanjun, gave them a gift, and asked with a smile: "Where are the children? Twins, twins, what a blessing."

Zhang Yuanjun said: "The nurse took him to sleep."

Teacher Ma didn't stay long. After saying a few words, he was about to leave. Zhang and his son saw him off.

The night after Teacher Ma left, Zhang Yuanjun received a call from one of Ali's senior vice presidents.

This means that Ahri is also very interested in Zhang Yuanjun's company in the United States, and hopes that Zhang Yuanjun can talk to Ahri.
