The Crown Prince of Huayu!

Before the Spring Festival.

While the filming of the previous drama was completed and the next one had not yet begun, Han Jiadong began to cast for the next drama while squeezing out time to spend with his family and his group of close female friends.

Especially Liu Yifei, who had to hand over her child during the Chinese New Year.

"Are you and Sister Tong Yi coming again this year?"

After a few words in the villa, Liu Yifei turned the topic to the issue that concerned her most.

Han Jiadong had a headache: "Well...it depends on the situation."

As my children grow up day by day, it is not easy to find time during the Chinese New Year.

Liu Yifei gave him an "I'm not happy" look, and then asked sullenly, "Why haven't you and Sister Tong Yi had a second child yet?"

In her opinion, since Tong Yi's first child was a daughter, she should hurry up and have a second child, and try to give birth to her own son as soon as possible.

This is not because she favors boys over girls, but given the special circumstances of Tong Yi and Han Jiadong, a boy is definitely better for both Tong Yi herself and the child.

In contrast, Liu Yifei actually hopes that her child is a girl, so that the child will not be so valued, and she may have more opportunities to see the child, and she will not have to be on guard against and compete for the family property.

Uh... She didn't think so because she had a problem with Tong Yi, but she felt guilty about Tong Yi helping her take care of her child. And she also thought that her own child might snatch the family property from Tong Yi's child in the future...

If it were a girl, she wouldn't have these worries.

Han Jiadong looked at her in confusion: "Why do you care about this?"

He hadn't even told both sets of parents that Tong Yi couldn't have any more children, let alone tell anyone else.

"If you have another child, your family's attention will definitely be on the newborn baby, and then I can take my Xiaofeng back home!" Liu Yifei said confidently.

Han Jiadong shook his head: "I don't have such plans for the time being. I don't even have time to take care of the children now. Tong Yi has worked so hard to raise the two children. Why would she go and make things difficult for herself? According to what Tong Yi said, it is impossible for her to give birth to another child for me in this lifetime."

"Humph! You deserve it."

Although Liu Yifei felt even more guilty towards Tong Yi after hearing what Han Jiadong said, she would not give Han Jiadong a good face on this matter.

After scolding her, she changed the subject.

"That Hall of Fame ranking thing, was it your idea again?"

"That's it."

Han Jiadong did not deny: "What's wrong?"

Liu Yifei was even more annoyed: "What's wrong? You still ask what's wrong? I finally got into the Hall of Fame, and I thought I was one of the few people standing at the top, but when your ranking points came out, I was stepped on the bottom again."

"The bottom of the Hall of Fame is also the ceiling of the entertainment industry! How old are you? You are the youngest in the Hall of Fame. Even if it's just a matter of seniority, you will definitely be able to get in."

"That's too slow. Do you have any movies suitable for me?"

"Didn't you just finish filming 'The Richest Man in Xihong City'?"

Han Jiadong was puzzled because Liu Yifei had already entered the Hall of Fame. In the several films he shot this time, whether they were commercial blockbusters or art films, he did not use Liu Yifei.

But he also gave her a movie called "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

"That movie has no chance of winning any awards, and Shen Teng rejected the film because of this."

Stimulated by the new classification rules, Shen Teng, who is currently only a second-tier "box office king", has finally learned his lesson and temporarily and completely given up on commercial blockbusters, focusing on award-winning genre films.

The male lead of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" was therefore changed from Shen Teng, who was originally scheduled to play the role, to Lei Jiayin.

Han Jiadong is very happy about the changes in Shen Teng and many of the original first- and second-tier stars in the entertainment industry. It is worth it for him to spend so much effort to create these new things.

"Shen Teng refused because he needed to win an award to get into the first-tier. You are different from him. You are in the Hall of Fame now. Can't movies with high box office also help you accumulate points?"

“The box office is too slow.”

"But at least there's a guarantee. Even if you make an art film, you may not..."

Seeing Liu Yifei's unfriendly look, Han Jiadong immediately changed his tone: "Okay, I'll help you take a look when we get back."

He was actually very happy that Liu Yifei was so ambitious.

"By the way, isn't it rumored recently that Jia Ling is planning to make a movie about her mother's story? You can give it a try."

"Jia Ling's movie?"

Liu Yifei looked at him suspiciously, but it was not because she had any prejudice against Jia Ling.

It's just that a skit actor, whose skits have been involved in many plagiarism scandals, suddenly said he wanted to make a movie...

Not to mention winning awards, under normal circumstances, whether it can make a profit or be released in theaters is a problem.

Liu Yifei's goal is to win an award, so how could she be interested in this kind of movie?

"Her movie won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress."

Han Jiadong said this inwardly, but did not persuade him any further.

In the original time and space, the reason why Zhang Xiaofei won the award for "Hello, Li Huanying" was not because of his good acting skills or how outstanding his role was.

It’s just that his image and temperament just happen to fit the role very well.

Earthy... ahem! Down-to-earth and with a sense of age...

It can really be considered as a true-to-life performance.

In addition, due to the epidemic that year, the production of films decreased significantly and the competitors were not strong, which made her stand out among the short ones.

If Liu Yifei played Jia Ling’s mother instead... I want to laugh just thinking about it.

This will add a lot of highlights to the movie.

It’s just the box office... Whether she’s there or not, it’s highly unlikely that a miracle like the original time and space can be created.

Han Jiadong had no reason to persuade Liu Yifei to take that movie.

Liu Yifei didn't mention Jia Ling's movie again, but instead paid attention to Han Jiadong's new movie.

"What movie is that you're currently casting for?"

"sci-fi movie."

“Any chance of winning a prize?”

"I should be able to win a lot of film and director awards, as for the acting awards..."

Han Jiadong shook his head: "It's almost impossible to win the Best Actress award with this movie anyway."

The next movie he is currently casting for is the revised "The Wandering Earth".

Compared to the original film, he has a lot more confidence in both the plot and special effects.

He already has suitable candidates for the main actors.

The male lead is changed to Liu Haoran, while the female lead and the second male lead remain the same, Zhao Jinmai and Wu Jing from the original film.

Not to mention Liu Haoran, among the young actors born after 00, few can compare with Zhao Jinmai in terms of acting skills or popularity.

As for Wu Jing...

Probably because he did not participate in the investment of "Wolf Warrior 2", the box office champion in film history, and did not arouse envy, his reputation is much better than the original time and space, and he was not labeled as marketing patriotism.

By the time the film is finished and the post-production is done, it will be at least next year. By then, the epidemic will have hit.

Cinemas will also be affected.

So Han Jiadong's estimated release date for the movie is: the Spring Festival next year!

That is the time when "Hello, Li Huanying" was released in the original time and space.

This is also the biggest reason why he is not optimistic about "Hello, Li Huanying".

If there wasn't the contrast of Detective Chinatown 3, how could "Hello, Li Huanying" get such a big advantage!
Of course, Han Jiadong did not intentionally target "Hello, Li Huanying".

Instead, the time when the economy was suppressed by the epidemic and then relaxed was indeed a time when movie fans were most enthusiastic about watching movies and had the greatest hope of creating a box office miracle.

The total box office of the Spring Festival that year in the original time and space also set a record, which was nearly 50% higher than the historical record before the epidemic!

Even though the movie isn't that good.

The box office websites initially estimated that Detective Chinatown 3 would have a chance to break the box office record of Wolf Warrior 2.

To be honest, this is not an exaggeration.

After all, Detective Chinatown 3 took in over billion yuan at the box office on the first day alone!
As long as Detective Chinatown 3 can reach the passing level, breaking the historical record will be within reach.

If it can reach the level of Detective Chinatown 1, there is a chance that it will break billion.

It is normal for a movie with excellent reputation to have a total box office of more than ten times the first day box office.

Not to mention the distant past, just take "Hello, Li Huanying" in the same period. It only had a box office of more than 200 million on the first day, but the final total box office was as high as 5.4 billion.

Twenty times the first day’s box office!
In the original time and space, "The Wandering Earth" only had 1.87 million on the first day, but the final total box office was more than billion!

A masterpiece of domestic science fiction is released at such a time... Han Jiadong is at least 2% sure that it will break the box office record of "Wolf Warrior ".

Not long after meeting Liu Yifei, the producers of "The Wandering Earth", including Jiali and Qindong, announced the cast of the film.

It was adapted from the novel by the famous science fiction writer Liu Cixin, and directed by Han Jiadong himself...but the female lead was a name I had never heard of.

Not long after the list was announced, the name of the new "Dong Girl" Zhao Jinmai quickly became a hot search.

People inside and outside the circle are discussing this hotly. They don't understand what charm this little girl, who is not even an adult yet, has to conquer Han Jiadong and become the youngest Dong girl so far.

After all, she is the "Dong Girl"!

Among all the previous Dong girls, the one who had the worst development was Yan Bingyan, the two-time Golden Rooster Award winner.

Others include Liu Yifei, Liu Sisi, Tong Liya, Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi, Gulinaza, Scarlett, Charlize Theron, Hathaway...

At the very least, it can be ranked among the top ones under the original grading standards!
In other words, even though Zhao Jinmai is still an unknown person in the entertainment industry, with the title of Dong Girl, she can be said to have a ticket to become a first-line star!

How can this not make people envious, jealous, confused and puzzled?
Not to mention that they were puzzled, even Zhao Jinmai himself was a little confused after seeing the result.

When she saw the audition requirements required being born after 00, and thinking that there weren't many famous female stars born after 00, she went with the mentality of giving it a try.

There was only one round of auditions, and then nothing happened.

She thought she was gone.

But she was still very satisfied to be able to meet the legendary director in person.

I didn’t expect that I would be noticed by director Han Jiadong… No, chosen? ! ! !

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but roll over and over in bed excitedly.

She didn't stop until her cell phone rang again.

The call was from Zhang Zifeng, whom she had met during a previous filming. The reason she called was because she saw herself becoming the new "Mou Girl" and wanted to find out what was going on.

However, Zhao Jinmai himself didn't know what was going on. Apart from making excuses, he could only smile foolishly.

After Zhang Zifeng, she also received calls from Liu Zai, Wang Xiaochen, Chen Xiaoyun and others, all of whom were actors she had worked with before, and they all came to congratulate her and inquire about the situation.

Later, big companies such as Huayi, Guangguang, and Jiami called her directly to express their desire to sign her.

However, just because she is young doesn't mean she is stupid.

In the end, I just got away with it by saying I needed to think about it first.

Later, there were even people who wanted her to be their spokesperson or shoot advertisements for magazines, which made her personally experience the influence of Han Jiadong and the title of "Dong Girl".

I couldn't help but think about how to please and get closer to Director Han Jiadong when we meet next time.

at the same time.

The last season of "The World of Cultivation", "The King's Horn", has finally been aired.

When the first episode was aired, the scene in which the heroine never left the hero's side and carried him barefoot across the desert, having lost all his skills, became a hot topic and sparked countless discussions.

The ratings replicated the miracle of the final season of Game of Thrones, topping the list in dozens of countries!

Later, as the protagonist's cultivation level gradually recovered, he got the help of Hades to unify the underworld. The plot can be said to have a climax in each episode.

Even though important characters such as Wei Sheng, Xiao Guo, Qing Hua Xue and others died in the process, causing countless people to cry, the plot still received unanimous praise.

The ratings are also rising steadily.

In the end, both its popularity and reputation were no less than that of Game of Thrones at its peak.

Countless people were saddened by its ending.

Unfortunately, overseas fans are too rational. After simply trying other Chinese movies or TV series, they always insist on one thing:
Han Jiadong is Han Jiadong, and others are others. Don’t elevate Han Jiadong to the level of the entire country!
The strong one is Han Jiadong. No matter what Han Jiadong shoots, it looks good.

Hollywood blockbusters, Chinese movies, American TV series, Chinese fantasy dramas...

But this does not mean that other movies and TV series of the same type are also good.

For this reason, although domestic films and TV series have achieved better performance overseas compared to their original time and space.

But it can't compare with the performance of works shot by Han Jiadong at all.

It was precisely because Han Jiadong realized this that he put a lot of thought into formulating new grading standards and setting up a hall of fame.

The purpose is to enable the entire Chinese film and television industry to make positive changes under these rules.

A healthy development is when the entire Chinese-language film and television industry becomes stronger, rather than just one person becoming stronger.

Late February.

After spending the Chinese New Year at home and resting for more than half a month, Han Jiadong was invited to attend the Oscars as an awards presenter before the filming of "Spider-Man: No Return" started.

After the award ceremony, Cameron, who was also the award presenter, called out to Han Jiadong, who was surrounded by three blonde beauties, Kristen, Scarlett, and Emilia.

"Han, can we chat together?"

Han Jiadong agreed without much hesitation to the request of this senior whom he once had to look up to.

Seeing this, Scarlett immediately said, "Then we'll go first."

She was annoyed by the two light bulbs that kept staying around Han Jiadong and refused to leave!
Taking this opportunity to get rid of these two bitches, she can go find Han Jiadong alone after she finishes talking to Han Jiadong.

Cameron was very generous and said, "No, it's not a secret. It's okay for you to sit in." (End of this chapter)
