The Crown Prince of Huayu!

Chapter 85 Detonating the Market
Liu Xiaoli is an intellectual and gentle type in appearance, but once she becomes stern, Liu Yifei doesn't dare to breathe, and stands obediently with her head lowered, as if she is ready to be lectured.

She originally just wanted to test her mother's attitude, but the result... wasn't a surprise.

Pretty much what she expected.

It's just that I have a little fantasy in my heart.

“Why can’t I change my nationality back to Chinese nationality?”

Liu Xiaoli also realized that she had overreacted, and her tone softened slightly: "I don't want to say whether I agree or not, but do you think you can change your Chinese nationality back if you want to? This is the most difficult nationality in the world to obtain! "

Liu Yifei said calmly: "What if I could change it back?"

"That's not OK!"

Liu Xiaoli still vetoed it without hesitation: "It took so much effort to obtain American citizenship. Why should I change it back?"

Because it will be more difficult to change back to Chinese nationality in the future!

Liu Yifei lowered her head and said nothing.

Liu Xiaoli frowned and looked at her: "Why did you suddenly think of this? Did someone say something to you?"

Liu Yifei shook her head.

Liu Xiaoli looked at her, sighed suddenly, and tried to persuade her: "You have also seen the current situation in China. There are people who worship foreigners everywhere, and foreign stars in the entertainment industry are especially popular. Look at the three big names Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Han Jiadong. Directors have been using foreign stars in their recent films, and if you have foreign status, you will have a greater chance of filming their films in the future."

“But as a foreigner, you can’t get the prize!”

"Who said that? Can't all the Golden Statue and Golden Horse awards be given to foreigners? These awards in the Mainland are not as important as those two awards taken together. It doesn't matter whether you win or not."

Liu Xiaoli actually has another reason she didn't say, that is, her goal has always been Hollywood!

It's just that she has no connections in Hollywood, and it's impossible to get in directly. That's why she brought Liu Yifei back to China, hoping to use China as a stepping stone.

Thinking about it, she suddenly asked: "By the way, how is your relationship with Director Han Jiadong now?"

"Huh? It's... not bad!"

……

After Han Jiadong returned to school, he went to the Academic Affairs Office to ask for a few days off.

Then he went back to his hometown to hold his twentieth birthday party.

It's rare to have a grand event.

Dad, aunt, uncle, and uncle Han Silin are all back.

Grandma is eighty-three years old this year, and her next full birthday...

Therefore, important birthdays like this are now held in the hometown, and the celebrations will be lively.

The whole family gathered together.

According to the custom of my hometown, a three-day flowing feast is held.

Brothers Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, and company bosses like Li Ming also came on their birthdays.

Xu Qin also came to eat for two days.

Tong Liya didn't dare to come and only called Han Jiadong on Han Jiadong's birthday.

For others who are not so close, they basically don’t know when his birthday is.

Early June.

Han Jiadong took another long vacation.

Now that he has studied all the important courses in his junior year by himself, and with the results he has obtained, it is easy to take a leave of absence.

After getting the leave note, he flew to North America with Xu Qin.

"Oh! Shet! The box office of Star Wars is close to 300 million! The global box office has exceeded 500 million! It will have more than 100 million in the second week! In the three days of the second week alone, there are 70 million box office!"

"Thank God we didn't hit it in its first two weeks!" "Madagascar" also had more than 60 million in three days last weekend! Farke! More importantly, this week is only its second week! This horse I’m not exhausted yet!”

"The performance of "The Longest Yard" was also unexpected. Under the attack of two blockbusters and with a pitifully small number of theaters, it actually took in nearly 50 million at the box office last weekend. It is definitely a threat to us. !”

"Oh buy it! This week there will be three movies released together: "The Man with the Iron Fist", "Summer of Jeans", and "Senior Dogtown"..."

……

As soon as he arrived at Universal, Han Jiadong's ears were bombarded.

Xu Qin, who was with us, couldn't help but be frightened by what they said.

Han Jiadong just came to the conference room without saying a word, and then sat down calmly: "What is the number of theaters we have open?"

An assistant immediately handed over a piece of information and quickly dictated it to him.

"Not too optimistic. There are only over 3,000 companies, which is a thousand less than "Madagascar" last week. Although it ranked first this week, it is not as good as the following "Madagascar" and "The Longest Yard". There is no absolute advantage.”

Han Jiadong smiled softly after reading it: "Isn't there an absolute advantage? You will know what an absolute advantage is after the painting starts."

the next day.

"300", which took almost a year to make, finally has its premiere.

A screen full of muscles;
The beautiful and hot queen;
breathtaking fight scenes;
During the close combat, blood and flesh flew everywhere, heads were chopped off, and the remaining throats and bones slid through the camera one by one...

With countless classic scenes, this male hormone-filled movie detonated the entire movie market as soon as it was released.

With more than 24000 theaters opening at the same time, and with a single theater’s astonishing production of over US dollars, it earned a daily box office of over million on the first day of its opening!
Became the only movie to hit 10 million at the box office that day!
In the three days of the first weekend, the total box office has reached as high as 90 million!
Ranking second in this year’s first weekend box office list, second only to “Star Wars: Episode III” with 3 million!
Apart from it, "Madagascar", which has the highest box office, is over 22 million.

"The Longest Yard" is over 18 million.

"Star Wars Episode III" has more than 3 million.

"The Iron Fist Man" has more than 11 million.

The rest, ranked by box office, include "Summer of Jeans", "Dogtown", "Wicked", "Crash", "Soccer Daddy", "Danny the Wolf Dog"...

Among them, "Summer of Jeans", which had the highest box office, only earned over 8 million.

There is no doubt that "300 Spartans" became the biggest winner.

In the original time and space, "300" was only released in the unpopular period of March, but it still took over 70 million in the box office in its first week of release!
It directly set a historical record for the first week box office of a movie released in March!
The upper limit of a popular period like June is far higher than that of March. The highest box office in the first weekend was even more than 1.3 million!
Global meeting room.

"We made it!"

"Sparta!"

"Wash them with blood!"

"Han, you are a genius!"

……

celebrate!

Crazy celebration!
Some people even twisted and danced a striptease on the spot.

"Han, we can sit down and talk about our cooperation on your next movie."

The Universal General Manager looked at all this with a smile, but his calm expression could not hide the fire in his eyes.

In comparison, Han Jiadong is really calm.

Because Universal was already out when it postponed cooperation with him half a year ago.

As it happens, he doesn't want to give other companies the impression that he only works with Universal.

　Thanks to Ganmei, No need to give me the nickname, and Xu Dada for the monthly pass given by Sanpi!
