The Crown Prince of Huayu!

Chapter 74 Sister Run
News coming from Hollywood has added to the popularity of "Xiu Chun Knife".

However, with the end of the Spring Festival, the box office growth of "Xiu Chun Knife" has finally slowed down.

By the time it was released, the final box office was set at 1.93 million.

After all, it was just a short step away from 200 million.

But it has also ranked second in the history of domestic films, second only to "Hero" with 2.5 million.

Regarding this box office, Han Jiadong is not too surprised.

At this time, the domestic film market can be said to be in a state of complete desolation, without any order at all.

What determines the box office of a movie is often not the quality of the movie, but whether it is a blockbuster or not!

It's not a blockbuster. No matter how good the quality is, it's just another "Crazy Stone" at best.

It's already a miracle to get more than 20 million at the box office.

History has also proven that none of the non-blockbuster movies in the past few years has a box office of over 100 million!

Nothing even close!
On the contrary, no matter how bad a blockbuster movie with Hong Kong stars is, the minimum box office threshold is 100 million!
"Hero", "A World Without Thieves", "House of Flying Daggers", "The Promise", "The Banquet"...

Among them, "The Promise", which will be released this year, has been criticized so badly, but it still took 1.75 million at the box office!

Ranked first in the year in the original time and space!

Even more than the previous year's "Kung Fu."

This is the charm of blockbusters in this era!
Of course, not all blockbusters can achieve such high box office.

Just like "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin", the investment was quite large, up to 70 million. Some people criticized it after it was released, but it was not as miserable as "Hero". The overall evaluation was still higher than "Hero", but it only had 10 million. box office.

why?
In addition to the controversy over the plot, the main reason is: there are no Hong Kong stars!

At this time, mainland actors really have no ability to resist the box office!
But that doesn’t mean that if there are Hong Kong stars, there will be box office success.

Just like Hong Kong movies with many Hong Kong stars, they cannot be confused with mainland blockbusters.

At this time, Hong Kong films paid great attention to the mainland market, but not that much.

At least it won't be like "Heroes" and "A World Without Thieves", which will use planes and trains to promote it, nor will it be like "Xiuchungdao", which will use variety shows to promote it, and it won't spend 20 to 30 million like "House of Flying Daggers". Premiere celebration.

In terms of film arrangement, it is naturally impossible to obtain the support of mainland blockbusters.

Otherwise, with the promotion resources and film schedule keeping up, it would be no problem for a movie like "Kung Fu" to exceed 200 million at the box office.

During the release of "Xiu Chun Dao", the popularity of the movie also aroused heated discussions among movie fans about the actors in the film.

But what is surprising is that the people who get the most attention are not Hong Kong stars Liu Dehua and Jin Chengwu, nor the incomparably beautiful heroine Fan Bingbing, nor Chen Kun, who is the first male lead in such a blockbuster and cannot be faulted. .

But Huang Xiaoming and newcomer Tong Liya, who have never proven themselves in movies before.

Huang Xiaoming, who puts all his energy into acting, can be said to be in a league of his own with anyone in the film.

And his lines of "add money" and "very smooth" are even more impressive.

Ding Xiu, with a very smooth handwriting, and his reputation as a Buddhist layman spread like wildfire.

In his previous life, Ding Xiu played "Zhou Zhou Wei" and was not well-known before this role, but with this role, he was able to "no one knows about his role as a sidekick for ten years, and he is known all over the world with just one sentence of extra money."

Huang Xiaoming was already a popular star as one of the "Four Big Students" before he appeared in this movie. The heated discussion caused by this movie was even more amazing. Even Jiang Wen, who had been lifted from the directing ban and was preparing to shoot a new movie, heard about it.

After Jiang Wen went to see the movie, he immediately called Qian Mu and scolded him.

She scolded him for not explaining clearly on the last phone call. He was obviously such an interesting character, but he only wanted to tell me which male character this character was and how strong he was.

She also scolded Huang Xiaoming, saying that his acting was definitely not as good as mine.

From his words, it is not difficult to hear his love for this character.

It's not that he is jealous of others, but that the role of Ding Xiu really appeals to him.

At his level, a character he likes is much more important than the number of scenes.

Of course, if he were to direct and act, he would definitely add extra scenes to Ding Xiu, and eventually become the leading actor.

It is a pity that Wang Zhonglei did not convey the full message when conveying Han Jiadong's words.

Compared with Huang Xiaoming's popularity, another hotly discussed one, Tong Liya, can only be regarded as taking a sip of soup. In addition to attracting the attention of many people for her beauty, she only gained the title of "Sister Run" by saying "very moist". title.

"Sister Run... is it moist or not?" Night.

Houhai.

Han Jiadong held Tong Liya's hand and walked slowly, with a faint smile on his lips.

Tong Liya's pretty face was blushing under the brim of her hat. She looked at the flow of people coming and going. She didn't dare to react much. She just lowered her head and whispered: "I...how do I know."

Compared with the deserted area two years ago, Houhai is now one of the areas with the richest nightlife in the capital.

With the epidemic gone, in just half a year, various bars have been connected from the southern edge of Houhai to the northern edge of Qianhai. At night, the lights are bright and colorful, and there are people coming and going.

Sex hunters, partygoers, young couples...all like to run here.

Han Jiadong smiled and stopped embarrassing Tong Liya. While admiring the night view of Houhai, he asked, "I heard that another company is looking for you?"

"Ah."

Tong Liya nodded, but didn't know what to say.

This period of time was like a dream to her.

Suddenly he changed from an ordinary person to the kind of star that could only be seen on TV before.

Companies continue to come to us.

There are also various drama appointments, advertisements, endorsements...

Even the attitude of my classmates towards me and the way they looked at me were also different.

She was completely unprepared for this, and now she was confused and hesitant.

But one thing she knew very well was that all of this was brought to her by the man beside her.

So when she encounters something she can't decide, she will subconsciously think of Han Jiadong and want to hear Han Jiadong's thoughts.

"Huayi, Rong Xinda, Guangguang, Xiaoma... they all came to talk to me. Do you think I should sign with the company now?"

"Since you asked that, you're already leaning towards signing it, right?"

"I... I want to save more money. For those advertising endorsements that come to me, I can shoot some of them on weekends. It won't affect my study. It's just that I'm a little scared..."

"Then sign it!"

"Which company can I sign with?"

"Which one do you want to go to?"

"I...I prefer ponies."

"Pony..."

Han Jiadong looked a little unclear.

Tong Liya said nervously: "What's wrong? Is it bad?"

The person Pony sent to talk to her was a woman, and I heard she was Pony's director of operations. Compared to other companies who sent her to talk, Tong Liya, who was naturally introverted and even had low self-esteem, would naturally be closer to women.

Han Jiadong shook his head: "It's okay, Xiao Ma is fine, just sign Xiao Ma."

Li Ming's reputation in the industry is pretty good. It's a pity that he died so young. Let's remind him more when we have the opportunity in the future.

"Well, thank you."

After obtaining Han Jiadong's consent, Tong Liya breathed a sigh of relief, although his consent was obviously not needed.

Han Jiadong stood still, put his arm around Tong Liya's waist, and slowly approached: "How do you want to thank me?"

Tong Liya's eyes dodge: "Don't...don't be here."

But the next moment, his eyes widened, and his whole body suddenly froze, and his exposed skin turned red visibly. Soon, his body slowly relaxed again, he closed his eyes, and grabbed Han Jiadong's clothes with both hands.

She didn't know how long it took, but she suddenly opened her eyes again and pushed out her hands reflexively.

Just hearing a "dong" sound, water splashed in front of my eyes.
