China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 611 "Inception" is released and goes to the United States again [-in-]

On the evening of June 6, China Film Group held a grand premiere ceremony for the Hollywood science fiction movie "Inception" at the flagship store of Xingmei International Cinemas in Beijing.

After all, a favor is reciprocated.

Previously, the crew of "Inception" came to China for promotion at the invitation of China Film Group, including director Nolan and leading actor Leonardo. Although in the final analysis it was for the film's box office in China, it also gave China Film Group a huge face.

What's more, the movie was released in North America ten days ago. It took in a box office of US$1700 million on the first day. It became popular all the way and took in US$6230 million in the first three days.

After only three days of screening, it topped the weekly box office in North America.

The box office exceeded 100 million in six days of screening. So far, the overall box office is still rising.

The overseas box office of the movie is soaring. During the same period, not even one of them could hit the box office, but it became the box office champion in the overseas markets where it was released one after another.

The movie's reputation is even more overwhelming. It has been praised as a "summer masterpiece" by many well-known Hollywood media. It has been given a high score of 8.8 by fans from all over the world on relevant film and television websites.

Among them, Liu Yifei has been mentioned many times by the Hollywood media, praising her outstanding performance in the movie and being a rising Asian superstar.

Domestic media has even reprinted it crazily, and countless movie fans are looking forward to this "masterpiece".

Finally, on June 6, the movie was fully released in mainland China.

On the night of the premiere, China Film Group invited many celebrities in the industry to come to support the show.

Everyone happily accepted the appointment.

After all, no one dares to deny China Film Group's face, not to mention that the premiere of a movie like "Inception" is definitely a great opportunity for publicity and exposure.

Including Huang Xiaoming, Li Bingbing, Zhang Hanyu from Huayi, and Fan Bingbing who set up his own business, etc.

Starry Sky was led by eldest sister Da Zhouxun, and Yang Mi and Zhang Songwen, who had just burst onto the scene with "Beijing Loves Seattle", attended the event together.

This is only half of the entire domestic entertainment program, let alone Yifei, the protagonist tonight.

Before the premiere, reporters were waiting at the scene early, trying to capture the scene when the stars arrived.

Especially the fairy sister Liu Yifei. The editors-in-chief of various media outlets have sent tasks to the reporters on the scene. No one else can take pictures today, but Liu Yifei must be present throughout the whole process.

According to usual experience, Sun Yi and Liu Yifei will definitely attend a major premiere like this.

They did come together. The two of them took a car to the premiere.

But what surprised the reporters was that the two of them were accompanied by a shy little girl, one holding one hand, one smiling sweetly, and the other asking for help and caring.

When reporters saw it from a distance, their first reaction was, Oh, there’s a big melon! !
"I have a child from a secret marriage, and my daughter is already so old."

But my second reaction was that there was something wrong with this little girl's age.

Sun Yi and Liu Yifei were born in 87, which is 24 at full count. But even if this little girl is too advanced, she must be , , which is impossible no matter how you look at it.

Everyone was curious, maybe it was the sister of one of the two, and maybe she was brought here to play.

"I will definitely interview you later."

The reporters secretly noted this in their hearts.

But when I waited at the red carpet ceremony, I didn't see this little girl at all. Even Sun Yi didn't walk on the red carpet. Liu Yifei was paired with the movie's first supporting actor, Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

The crew specially arranged for him and Liu Yifei to host the premiere promotion in China.

When the movie started to be released overseas, in addition to the heroine Liu Yifei, it also arranged for the first supporting actor to come to China for promotion. It can already be seen that it attaches great importance to the Chinese market.

By the way, the crew of "Inception" were very stupid in their promotion and played a double standard.

When promoting in China, Liu Yifei must be in the position of the heroine, and the promotion is also the first female lead, Marion Cotillard ranked second.

In North America and some regions outside Asia, the reverse is true, with Marion Cotillard ranking first and Liu Yifei ranking second.

In fact, I can't say what's wrong with the crew. If you look at the number of roles alone, Liu Yifei obviously has more. This heroine does her part. But in terms of the importance of the role and the international popularity of the movie star, Marion Cotillard clearly has the upper hand.
Therefore, no matter how the crew promotes it, it is reasonable, and there is nothing to question.

On the red carpet, Liu Yifei paired up with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, showing her unique style.

As for Joseph Gordon-Levitt, many Chinese movie fans first got to know him through the movie "500 Days of Summer".

For the first time, Chinese movie fans know what a fresh movie is.

And Joseph Gordon-Levitt also created a new trend, the so-called "little puppy boyfriend".

Today, Joseph, who is thin and has a warm smile on his face, walks beside Liu Yifei, which greatly sets off Liu Yifei's goddess style. His movements are so charming that people can't help but admire him.

At the signing stage, reporters finally asked Liu Yifei questions that suppressed the normal red carpet ceremony.

"That girl? Ha, why do you care about everything! Well, that's my little sister. I brought her here today to experience the movie premiere. It's nothing else. She's not from the industry. Don't do it. Too much attention.”

Sun Yi had told her before coming here not to say too much if the media asked about Xiaojing.

Firstly, Xiaojing is an ordinary person after all and should not be disturbed by reporters in her normal life. Secondly, she does not want reporters to take this opportunity to make false claims. After all, it involves the personal charity fund under Liu Yifei's name. If anyone pays attention to it, It can easily be misunderstood as using the name of charity for publicity and hype.

In this case, the gain outweighs the loss.

"Doing good deeds without asking for reward."

This is what Sun Yi said to Liu Yifei at that time. The more she tastes it, the more delicious it becomes.

Sure enough, my brother is so awesome.

what to do? Suddenly I really want to bite him!
Sun Yi, who was almost bitten, didn't know what he missed. He didn't attend the red carpet ceremony and took Xiao Jing directly to the venue. After arranging for his assistant Zhang Xin to take good care of him, he came to Director Han.

"Why didn't you go to the red carpet?"

"Hey, it's not my film, so I can't do anything wrong. Besides, Third Master, you didn't go either." Sun Yi grinned and replied.

"Hey, you are quite arrogant." Han Sanping sneered, then sighed and said with emotion: "Indeed, it is not our own film, and I am embarrassed to join in the fun."

"Yes, but Mr. San, you don't have to worry too much. After all, we are developing late, and it will take time to catch up. Looking at the situation this year, our film market can definitely surpass the UK and advance into the top three in the world. In two years, or next year at the earliest, he is expected to surpass Little RB and become second in the world.”

Looking at Sun Yi's words, Han Sanping couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

This year is 10 years, and he, Han Sanping, was born in 53. He will be old enough in 3 years at most, that is, 14 years. In these last three years, he wants to contribute to his career as well as to others. The development of the Chinese film market has come to a successful conclusion.

"How are the preparations for "Pacific Rim" going?"

"Everything is ready, just waiting for the east wind."

"Okay, whether Star Sky's film industrialization model or even the production capabilities of the entire Chinese film industry can be improved to a higher level depends on your experience."

Han Sanping sat upright and stared at Sun Yi with sharp eyes. The latter couldn't help but look serious, nodded and replied:
"Director Han, don't worry, I have confidence in myself, the starry sky, the Chinese film market and the vast number of movie fans."

"Haha, okay, let's wait and see." Han Sanping laughed heartily and even raised his forehead habitually.

There was no wine at the moment, and the occasion was not right, otherwise he would have had a drink with Sun Yi no matter what.

In his eyes, Sun Yi is different from everyone else. He does not talk about the prosperity of the Chinese film market and the development of the film and television industry like others, but at the end of the day, he still wants to make money for himself.

While making money, it also prospered the market and developed the industry.

Sun Yi, on the other hand, wanted to develop the industry, cultivate the market, and then make money along the way.

This starting point is very different.

This is why Han Sanping attaches great importance to Sun Yi and Xingkong.

"By the way, Third Master, I have an idea for a new story, but I'm not sure about it. How about you give me some advice?"

Sun Yi changed his title from "Han Dong" to "Third Master", and the close relationship instantly switched.

"Haha, please calm down a bit. I was so excited about "Into the Dust" some time ago." Han Sanping said as he raised his finger and pointed at it.

"If not, the daily published an editorial about your speech, do you know what Optoelectronics is planning to do with you? Such luck doesn't happen every time. Do you really want to be interviewed once?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Yi was a little unhappy, "Tsk, Third Master, you can't look at people in the same old way. I haven't told my story yet, so why did you just determine my gender directly?"

"Heh, okay, okay."

Han Sanping chuckled, then raised his hand to look at his watch.

"Okay, it's still early, so you can talk about it and I can listen."

As he said that, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one, and then gestured to Sun Yi. Seeing him shaking his head, he simply lit up and took a nice puff.

Sun Yi twitched his nose twice. To be honest, meeting Han Dong smoking now made him a little addicted, but when he thought about going back to attend the premiere with his wife, with her puppy nose, He will definitely be discovered. Besides, there is a girl like Xiaojing present today, so it’s better not to smoke.

I simply endured it.

"Third Master, my story is based on a little girl. It goes like this."

Sun Yi told Han Sanping the story of what happened to Xiaojing in general, including the subject type he planned to adapt, a love story against the backdrop of an earthquake disaster.

"Don't even think about it."

After hearing Sun Yi talk about his idea for adaptation, Han Sanping waved his hand to interrupt, not caring about the ash falling on his suit.

"Sun Yi, Sun Yi, let me tell you, you are becoming more and more courageous now, and you dare to take pictures of anything. What happened just this year, you want to do more, what do you think?"

"Don't worry, don't talk about me. If you go to Lao Tong's place, even ten thousand people won't agree. Don't think that once you go to the daily newspaper, you will be fine. You are a key person now."

Seeing that Dong Han was a little angry, Sun Yi quickly said a few soft words.

The old man is almost 60, so don’t let your blood vessels burst again at this time.

"Third Master, Third Master, don't be angry. This is also an immature idea of ​​mine. I just heard this story two days ago and haven't thought about it carefully. Didn't I just meet you today, so I thought of asking? Ask for your opinion."

Sun Yi felt a little uncomfortable. When he talked about this story with Han Sanping today, it was really just a spur-of-the-moment idea. He didn't expect him to have such a big reaction.

Han Sanping glanced at Sun Yi and nodded when he saw that his attitude was sincere and not at all hypocritical.

It's no wonder that he was a little angry, it was all because he was too optimistic about Sun Yi. From the time Sun Yi debuted, step by step to where he is today, he had seen it all, and he really didn't want Sun Yi to make a mistake.

Having Ning Hao was enough to make him miserable.

Sun Yi must not let anything happen again.

Of course, it was impossible for Han Sanping to say these inner thoughts to Sun Yi. He carefully put out the cigarette butt, patted the ashes on his suit, and then said to Sun Yi seriously:
"Your story is indeed very touching, but you should try to change the background. It doesn't have to be an earthquake. Don't look at Lao Feng's "Tangshan", but it was a few years ago. When did this happen? Let’s talk about Lao Feng. How many years have he been preparing for it, and how many relationships have been smoothed out? Now you want to industrialize the film industry, and you still have the energy to manage a company as big as Xingkong.”

Han Sanping rarely spoke so harmoniously. To outsiders, he had always been extremely domineering.

It is estimated that only Sun Yi received this treatment.

After hearing this, he thought carefully.

Indeed, as Mr. San said, this background is a bit sensitive and needs to be cleared up and down. As a key figure, he is being watched everywhere, which will make it even more difficult.

Not worth it.

And it doesn't make much sense for the film. After all, what he mainly wanted to film was the love story.

Didn't Xiao Nizi say that she hasn't acted in a movie with him for a long time?

We have to listen to what this wife says.

"Well, Third Master, I understand. I'll just change the background of the story."

"Yes, with your level, such a script can't come easily."

Sun Yi thought for a moment and nodded. He really thought of a similar one in his mind that could be adapted.

The premiere of "Inception" was very successful. Movie fans experienced a long-lost visual feast and were even more surprised by the dream setting in the movie.

At the same time, he also greatly admired Liu Yifei's performance in the movie.

Judging from the scenes between her and Leonardo, they don't feel out of place at all. Instead, they feel like they are evenly matched. Of course, this is also due to the role arrangement of the two and there are not many conflict scenes.

But even this makes the majority of fairy fans excited.

It’s been almost a year, and finally I’ve been waiting for the work of Sister Divine, which is a big Hollywood production, together with Leonardo DiCaprio.

After the premiere that night, Sun Yi took Liu Yifei and Xiaojing back home. Xiao Nizi invited Xiao Jing to her home, and then took her on a fun tour of the capital the next day.

Sun Yi is paying attention to the box office performance of "Inception".

You know, Starry Sky probably still has 10% of their investment in this film.

The movie's domestic box office on the first day directly exceeded 3000 million. Counting China, the movie's overseas box office also exceeded 2 million US dollars. According to the current situation, after the movie is released, the total box office revenue alone is Potential revenue of $8 million.

Calculating this, it is another huge amount of income for Xingkong.

Even Xiong Xiaoge made a special call to Sun Yi. The investment in this movie made him a lot of money. He was very grateful to Sun Yi for the investment advice he gave him.

After making an appointment to have dinner on another day, Sun Yi also started to arrange the company's related affairs.

As July is approaching, he will start to get busy.

The first step is to take Liu Yifei and the company team to North America to promote "Pacific Rim".
