The Crown Prince of Huayu!

Chapter 341 Standing on the Top

The heroine of "Dying to Survive" is obviously not suitable for those women of Han Jiadong.

The age factor alone is enough to rule out all women except Xu Qin.

Xu Qin now prefers being a director rather than being an actor.

In addition, Liu Yifei, Yang Mi and others are obviously here for the award, but the role of the heroine in "Dying to Survive" is not outstanding.

Not to mention compared with the male lead, he can't even compare with the second and third male leads.

So Han Jiadong finally rejected their calls.

After Liu Yifei heard him say that the heroine of this movie had little hope of winning an award, she stopped pursuing him.

With an Oscar for Best Actress and two Golden Globe Awards in her portfolio, she is no longer so eager for awards.

In comparison, other women would not let Han Jiadong go so easily.

After all, in their opinion, Liu Yifei is now basically certain to enter the Hall of Fame.

What about yourself?

The better Yang fans just barely made it, and didn't even get the honor of being inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Liu Sisi and Tang Yan, who were not as good as them, are still in the second tier.

Because of this, he was ridiculed a lot, and even his fans were ridiculed to the point that they couldn't even raise their heads.

So they have made up their minds this time. Even if they don’t shoot "Dying to Survive", they must let Han Jiadong help them win awards with other movies.

Han Jiadong was speechless when he heard what they said.

Didn’t I help you win the award?

It's obviously your own inability to do so.

In the original time and space, the two female protagonists of "Soulmate" won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress together.

But who says they are their own women?

If you don’t pamper yourself, who will you pamper?

So finally their wish was fulfilled.

Gave Yang Mi a copy of "Better Days".

"Are you prepared to cut your hair off for filming?"

Before giving it, Han Jiadong asked a question.

As a result, Yang Mi immediately asked back: "Will you still like me then?"

Han Jiadong curled his lips and said, "With your hairline, what difference does it make whether you cut your hair or not?"

Yang Mi was so angry that she wanted to bite him through the phone.

Xu Qin was chosen as the director. Female directors would have more advantages in such female-themed films, so it was a good idea to kill two birds with one stone.

Tang Yan also won a female-themed movie - "Miss Bai".

A story of women saving women combined with child abuse themes.

The female character fits her well.

The remaining Liu Sisi got a role in "Decision to Break Up".

But compared to Yang Mi and Tang Yan, she also put forward an additional requirement: it must be directed by Han Jiadong himself.

"Yes, I can, but I don't have time recently."

"It doesn't matter. As long as you're the one directing, I can wait as long as I want."

As for Tong Liya, she went back to her hometown to take care of her pregnancy and did not call Han Jiadong.

Nazha didn't know whether she was self-aware or just being bad, but she didn't call Han Jiadong.

Han Jiadong took the initiative to give her a copy of "Ashes of Love", and she happily said that she came to find Han Jiadong.

After sending away these women, Han Jiadong began the casting work.

The key point is undoubtedly the choice of the male lead.

After several rounds of auditions, the two male protagonists of "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" were finally chosen.

Huang Xiaoming and Shen Teng.

Shen Teng's performance style can bring a lot of light-hearted atmosphere and laughs to this heavy subject matter, which will definitely boost the box office, but it will be difficult to win an award.

Not only will it be difficult for you to win an award, but the probability of the movie winning an award will also be lower.

All major film festivals, both domestic and foreign, have always been more inclined towards serious themes in terms of awards, and have not been very fond of comedy films and actors.

This is also the main reason why Stephen Chow has won only a handful of awards in all his many years of acting career.

In comparison, Huang Xiaoming's performance style will be more popular with the judges.

In addition, Han Jiadong no longer cares about the box office, and this movie is mainly for awards. It would be better if he could help the mainland cultivate another actor who is qualified to enter the Hall of Fame, and Shen Teng is only a second-tier actor now...

Taking all the factors into consideration, Han Jiadong finally decided on Huang Xiaoming.

As for the female lead, Zhang Ziyi, who has already entered the Hall of Fame, still actively participated in the audition. Obviously, her ambition has not been extinguished by entering the Hall of Fame.

Unfortunately, she is okay at classical dancing, but pole dancing... is really not suitable for her temperament.

Another Hall of Fame member who was favored by Han Jiadong had already started to play badly and did not even show up for the audition.

In the end, among the candidates including Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, Zhao Yanzi, Yan Bingyan and Tan Zhuo, Yan Bingyan, who won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress twice, was chosen.

The second male lead is Zhang Yi.

Huang Mao is still Huang Mao. Even though he is already in his thirties, there is still no sense of incongruity in his role as a teenager.

The role of the policeman was still given to Zhou Yiwei from the original film.

After finalizing the casting, Han Jiadong asked them to prepare. Those who needed to grow beards to look older should do so quickly, and those who needed to learn how to play the role of leukemia patients should also learn how to do so quickly.

He himself started promoting "Wolf Warrior 2".

The movie is already scheduled to be released in late June.

June 30th.

After a month of promotion, "Wolf Warrior 2" was officially released.

The box office of just over 200 million on the first day is not high among Han Jiadong's movies.

However, the daily box office trend did not fall but rose instead.

On the second day, the number reached more than 300 million, and on the third day, it reached more than 400 million.

In just three days, it easily broke the one billion mark!

"Transformers 5", which was released less than a week earlier, crushed its box office several times in Japan.

And that's not the end.

As of Monday, the movie’s box office was still as high as 3.1 million!
Set a record for the highest box office on a weekday.

By the seventh day, the movie had crossed the 20 crore mark.

Set the record for the fastest 2 billion.

There is no doubt that "Wolf Warrior 2" is a hit!

The entire Internet is hotly discussing this exciting main theme movie, and more and more people are attracted to go to the cinema to watch this movie.

There is also no sign of a downward trend in the movie’s box office performance.

In the end, it only took seven days to once again gross 2 billion at the box office!

It took only fourteen days to surpass "The Mermaid" and reached the 4 billion box office record that no movie had ever reached before!
Seeing this result, Han Jiadong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the movie "Original Time and Space" took more than 5 billion at the box office, Han Jiadong would not be surprised that he only took more than 1 billion or 2 billion at the box office in the end.

Even after his optimization, the quality of the movie is not good enough to make 5 billion.

The Douban score is 7.5, which is a decent level.

At this time, there were already voices on the Internet such as "Why did Wolf Warrior 2 have such a high box office?" and "It is a tragedy for domestic films that Wolf Warrior 2 has become the box office champion in film history."

However, such voices did not stop the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" from moving forward.

In the end, it only took twenty-one days to break through the 5 billion mark!
On average, the daily box office is over 200 million!

Not only was the country shocked, but people overseas were also shocked.

You know, last year's annual box office champion in North America was "Avengers 3", which grossed more than million US dollars.

And 7.5 billion RMB is equivalent to nearly million US dollars!

In the entire history of North American movies, only Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Avatar have earned more than this. Of these, Avatar only earned less than 20 million.

This is the box office revenue of "Wolf Warrior 2" in just days!

“Is it really possible that the Chinese market will surpass the North American market?”

This idea couldn't help but pop up in many people's minds.

Domestic audiences were already boiling with excitement.

"Five billion! It's hard to imagine."

"Haha! As expected of Han Jiadong, he always surprises us."

"Who else?"

"Those who say Han Jiadong doesn't deserve to be the box office king, please stand up again if you have the guts!"

"Han Jiadong has been recognized by the whole world, but not by China."

"Some people really shouldn't try to take advantage of me in the future. They are really not on the same level. No one in China can get close to Han Jiadong."

"Five billion...how much money can we get from this?"

"I've watched it twice. It's so exciting. I haven't seen a movie like this in a long time."

"It hasn't reached the limit yet, keep going!"

……

After the movie box office exceeded 5 billion, Han Jiadong joined the crew of "Dying to Survive" and started filming the new movie.

As a result, less than half a month after filming, new news about "Wolf Warrior 2" came out.

"Wolf Warrior 2 box office has exceeded billion!"

……

……

After two postponements, the final box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" was over billion, which even surprised Han Jiadong!

It immediately raised the mainland's box office record by as much as 2.5 billion.

Converted into US dollars, it is still as high as 9.55 million.

Not only did it surpass the 7.6 million of "Avatar", it also surpassed the 9.38 million of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", the North American box office champion in film history, becoming the new global single box office market champion!

Neither domestic nor foreign movie fans were surprised that Han Jiadong won the single box office market championship.

But no one expected that this record would be won in the Chinese market.

For a time, countless people set their sights on the Chinese film market.

Hollywood has begun to consider how to get more Hollywood blockbusters into the Chinese market.

Especially after seeing that "Avengers 3" earned more than billion yuan at the box office in China, successfully helping itself to break through the billion US dollar mark, major Hollywood companies became even more restless.

Many of them found Han Jiadong.

After taking a break for a while after filming "Dying to Survive", Han Jiadong started filming "Decision to Break Up" at the urging of Liu Sisi.

This is a suspenseful crime movie.

The original film helped Tang Wei win multiple Best Actress awards and also won the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival.

In order to help Liu Sisi win the award, Han Jiadong was extremely strict this time. If he was not satisfied at all, he would ask her to do it again.

As a result, the filming progress of the movie became extremely slow.

December.

After Han Jiadong left the crew, he went to participate in the Golden Horse Awards and Golden Rooster Awards before "Dying to Survive" was released.

Yang Mi was also present. Her drama "Better Days" started filming nearly two months earlier than "Dying to Survive".

Han Jiadong also helped guide the post-production editing work.

So not only did it catch up with the film festival, it has also been released for over a week, and its current box office has approached 1 billion. Considering that it cost less than 100 million, it is undoubtedly a big-selling movie.

She and the male lead Li Xian were both nominated for this year's Golden Horse Awards.

The film and director Xu Qin were also nominated for Best Picture and Best Director.

But in the end, I didn't win any award.

Among them, the Best Picture and Best Actor awards were both lost to "Dying to Survive".

She lost the Best Actress award to Kara Hui, the lead actress in "The Bold, the Corrupt, and the Beautiful".

As the winner of the first Hong Kong Film Awards and this Golden Horse Awards, she is still a long way from entering the Hall of Fame.

Wait until you return to the mainland.

The competitiveness of this year's Golden Rooster Awards was really weak, with only Jiang Yiyan's "Snowstorm Is Coming", Tong Liya's "Wolf Warrior 2", Wang Zizi's "Old Beast", and Xu Lu's "Flash Girl" nominated. Yang Mi finally stood out from the crowd and successfully seized the opportunity to realize her dream of winning the Golden Rooster Award.

Of course, compared to the original time and space, Yang Mi, who studied hard at school during her student days, has improved a lot in her acting skills.

At least she is much better than Liu Sisi, who changed her career halfway, and Tang Yan, the "shame of the Chinese Academy of Drama".

Especially this time, in order to film, she was really ruthless. Not only did she temporarily hand over all the company affairs to Liu Yifei and Zeng Jia, she also shaved her hair into a short buzz cut.

As a result, she has to wear a wig wherever she goes.

Han Jiadong's "Dying to Survive" won multiple awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing, and Best Supporting Actor despite having few competitors.

The winner of the Best Supporting Actor award was the yellow-haired Peng Yu, who defeated Zhang Yi from the same crew.

Huang Xiaoming won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor again, and his great honors have now become one Golden Horse Award for Best Actor and two Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor.

He has one more Best Actor award than the minimum standard of the Hall of Fame.

With such a bang at all major film festivals, coupled with the shock brought by Han Jiadong's previous film, "Dying to Survive" is naturally anticipated by countless fans.

Unfortunately, due to the subject matter of the film, it is not suitable for either the Lunar New Year or Spring Festival period, so Han Jiadong has temporarily not released the film.

After the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony.

"My hair is not shaved in vain!"

Yang Mi, who ran to Han Jiadong's room, still did not forget to bring her Golden Rooster Best Actress trophy.

Han Jiadong silently looked at the pile of trophies that he had casually thrown on the table without saying anything.

Yang Mi naturally understood what he meant. After glaring at him, she changed the subject: "I didn't see Sister Yaya tonight. She wasn't there when Wolf Warrior 2 was released..."

As she spoke, she looked at Han Jiadong suspiciously: "Did you get Sister Yaya pregnant again?"

Han Jiadong rolled his eyes at her and said, "Why are you talking so unpleasantly?"

Seeing that he didn't deny it, how could Yang Mi not know what he meant?

He glared at him again.

"Where is Sister Yaya? Abroad?"

"No, I went back to my hometown."

"Go back to her hometown? Isn't she afraid of what her family will say about her?"

"No, her situation is quite special. Although her parents don't say it, they may be glad in their hearts that Yaya's current situation is better than a normal marriage and having children."

"How could this be?"

Yang Mi was surprised.

"I told you, this is a special case."

After Han Jiadong said this, he didn't explain any more. Seeing Yang Mi's strange expression, he asked again: "Why? You want a child too?"

Yang Mi didn't refute it immediately. Thinking that she was already 31 years old without realizing it, the joy of winning the award was gone.

"If I dare to get pregnant before marriage, my father will kick me out of the house."

Han Jiadong put his hand on her head, intending to touch her head to comfort her, but ended up knocking her wig off.

Yang Mi rolled her eyes at him, and without putting on her wig again, she pushed Han Jiadong onto the bed and pounced on him.

"Never mind, let's get comfortable first."

After a rustling sound, Yang Mi's slightly panting voice was heard again in the room.

"How is it? Does this make you feel excited?"

"What's so exciting about this? Shaving my head bald is better."

"Hmph! Look at me, I'm going to stab you to death!" (End of this chapter)
