Chapter 493 The New Year

Since the Chinese film market has been catching up, until now it has completely surpassed North America and has become the world's largest box office. Apart from some blockbusters in Hollywood, Chinese local films, movies from other countries, especially Asian films, have always been subordinated to Huaxia Films. defeated.

In the entire Asian film circle, only Huaxia films have swept the film markets of other countries, and beat the films of other countries to the ground. The myth co-produced the film, which beat "The Great Wall" directed by Zhang Yimou, which was previously expected to be high.

Although half of the Chinese capital and stars participated in the co-production "Onmyoji", which suppressed "The Great Wall" without any power to fight back, in the eyes of Chinese audiences, this is a pure film that borrowed Chinese funds and stars. RB's movie, the script is RB's, the director is RB's, and RB's actor is the most brilliant among the leading actors!And the whole story is almost telling the myth of RB.

Although in order to please the Chinese audience, a lot of things from the Tang Dynasty were mentioned in the origin and background, but anyone can tell that this is a movie of RB descent.

If it's just that, people don't really care too much about it, even if the film invested a whopping 7 million Huaxia coins, it is the top production cost in the whole of Asia, including China.

But at first, there was a blockbuster movie by the famous Chinese director Zhang Yimou that was extremely disappointing, and then there were other domestic films that were not good enough, and the word-of-mouth box office was disappointing one after another. Movies were overwhelming, and even the Hollywood blockbuster "Justice League", which was released at the same time, could only be the runner-up.

The entire RB media and filmmakers were in a carnival. In just two weeks, the total box office of "Onmyoji" in Asia directly exceeded 20 billion Chinese dollars, becoming RB's best-selling movie!
Many RB viewers were attracted by the hype of the media and the high quality and good reputation of the film itself to watch and support it, while the Chinese media and filmmakers felt they were slapped.

When China Film Market was ruled by Hollywood blockbusters before, the feeling of humiliation and pressure seems to be back again!

In addition to some gossip and bottomless media, many media have begun to criticize the impetuous and shoddy production of Chinese films in the past two years, and continue to warn Chinese filmmakers.

Then some variety shows also took the opportunity to talk about this matter. It seemed that all of a sudden, the Chinese film market had reached its most critical moment. Some angry netizens even appealed to everyone on the Internet to support domestic films and not to watch "Onmyoji".

However, more viewers complained on the Internet, "As an ordinary viewer, I don't go to watch a good movie with high reputation and high quality, but go to watch a bad movie. I have so much money and nothing to spend, or my brain has a problem?"

Others taunted the Chinese filmmakers, "You don't care about making movies yourself, and you just make a bunch of bad movies to cheat everyone's money. Now you are ashamed to lose money and dare to help everyone morally. Do you still want to show some face? If you have the ability, you can make movies. Well done, if the movies you make are as good as "The True Colors of a Hero" and "Dragon Inn", who would be stupid enough not to watch domestic movies instead of foreign movies!"

This Lunar New Year stall, which was supposed to be for everyone to relax and enjoy, seems to have become the most worrying thing for Chinese audiences under the fanning of the media and some people.

And that "Onmyoji" didn't know whether it was affected by this public opinion or because of the coming of the New Year. It finally failed to achieve results. It raked in 35 billion box office in China. The 45 billion mark, if it is released in Western countries next year, the global box office will break through 50 billion will be just around the corner!
At that time, this "Onmyoji" will become the only film in Asia other than Chinese films that has a global box office of over 50 billion and will enter the top [-] in global history!This is undoubtedly a great honor for RB filmmakers and audiences!

Although half of this honor should go to Huaxia Capital and the stars who participated in the film, for the director and leading actors who directed this film, it is definitely a qualitative leap!

Regarding these lively events, Ning Cheng completely ignored the outside world, and only cared about spending time with his wife and daughter, and then the family of three shared the family happiness!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa..."

The afternoon sun was very warm and bright. In the quiet back garden, huskies were running around lively and chasing butterflies. The three of them were having fun on the wicker chairs in the villa.

"Call Dad, Dad!", "Mom, Mom!" Looking at the smiling faces of the two, Xinxin blinked her big clear eyes, babbling, and suddenly swung her fleshy arms and called out: "Yeah!" ——" Emma, ​​who was holding her daughter, taught in a slow voice: "It's ma——ma!" She was very confident that Xinxin would know how to say mother first, knowing that the word "mother" in all languages ​​in the world has the same pronunciation , it's all mama!

This is a problem involving phonetics and child psychology. Ning Sheng and Emma have conducted special research. Babies can make vowels at first, and the a sound accounts for 64%, followed by stop sounds p, b, t, d and nasal m, n , Duplication is a major feature of infant pronunciation, so languages ​​all over the world have this similar situation.According to the human commonality that the stop sound is father and the nasal sound is mother, in fact, the probability of Xinxin calling her father first is 66.6%, and her mother is only 33.3%.However, ma is indeed the sound that babies are most likely to make, and it is related to crying and breastfeeding, so both of them have reasons for confidence.

"It's ba—ba!" Ning Sheng taught according to Chinese, not the English baby talk papa (papa) or dada (dada). Of course, Xinxin said that he was afraid of Dada, and he would also jump for joy, but Dad better!Nodding Xinxin's face, Ning Cheng smiled and said, "It's obvious that she likes me more."

"Haha! I'm sorry, Xinxin likes me more." Emma raised the corner of her mouth, quite disapproving of this.Ning Cheng scoffed disdainfully: "Why do you think that?" Emma rolled her eyes, she wouldn't say who took care of the little angel more, because that would make Ning Cheng sad, and they all love her equally, Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, and said with a smug smile, "Because—even if she said baba first, she was still talking about baba, and it doesn't have to be you." She laughed shamelessly.

Ning Cheng couldn't help being speechless, then turned his head to look at Emma, ​​the two rushed to teach each other one sentence at a time: "ba——ba!" "ma——ma!"

Xinxin seemed to be in trouble, she kept turning her head, looking around, and said "oh, oh".

"Baby, you can call whoever you like first!" Both of them were amused by their daughter's naive appearance, why make things difficult for the baby, she likes them so much!Such a warm time was interrupted by the pleasant ringtone of the mobile phone. Ning Cheng's mobile phone rang and vibrated. While taking it from the wooden table, he got up and walked away, calling: "Hello, what's the matter? Oh, is that right? ? Except for the three heroines, you just have to audition for the other roles. We have been together for so long, and of course I believe in your vision—"

The more Emma looks at her daughter, the more she feels happy, so this mother can't help rubbing Xinxin's face, kissing her cheek, and murmured with a smile: "Do you like father or mother more? Do you like Mommy? Huh? Little cutie—"

At this moment, Xinxin seemed to finally have no choice but to look at Emma and softly called out "Ma Ma——"

Emma didn't realize it at first, but when she suddenly understood what her baby was calling just now, she exclaimed "Ning Cheng, come quickly, Xinxin will call Mama---Xinxin, come again!" Call out—mama—”

And after the New Year, the director of "Onmyoji" Abe Ichiro suddenly announced at the film celebration party in Tokyo that he will make a super blockbuster film completely produced by RB filmmakers in the new year!

Obviously, they want to continue to boost the morale of domestic filmmakers, and they want to take the opportunity to let RB filmmakers get a share of the Chinese film market.

Regarding these matters, the Chinese filmmakers actually didn't take them seriously at first. After all, it was just a movie. Although everyone was a little surprised and a little shocked, it was nothing more than that. Apart from Hollywood, everyone's opponent was their own country. Those film and television companies, as for their counterparts in Japan and South Korea, didn't take it too seriously at all.

However, filmmakers don't care, but the media can't help it. How can everyone let go of such a hyped topic?

So, after the new year, shortly after the end of the Lunar New Year file, the media across the country suddenly set off a wave of resistance to RB movies. It seems that RB movies have become terrifying monsters like Hollywood blockbusters, and they need the concerted efforts of filmmakers across the country. Come fight!
"RB Films is rising strongly. This is another raider who carves up the Chinese film market after the Hollywood behemoth, and our own filmmakers, the guardians of our film market? Are you ready? Look at last year's "Sewing Machine" Band, "Martial Arts" and "The Great Wall", I think, if this year's level is still the same, it's better to surrender early, so that we can comfort ourselves by saying that our movie has not been released, otherwise something will happen, But once we get on the stage, it will be a crushing defeat, just like "The Great Wall" was crushed by "Onmyoji", I think, for all Chinese audiences, this will be the most embarrassing for us! At that time, we should Do you feel sorry for your wallet while supporting bad domestic films, or should you simply refuse to enter the cinema and stay away from such things as movies, so that our domestic films will not be too ugly?"

"Those talented filmmakers in China, no matter whether you are in Hollywood or staying at home for vacation, seeing our current situation, shouldn't you do something?"

"Those Chinese directors, actors, screenwriters, and even investors who made bad movies after another, are you going to continue to fool the audience to make money? Be careful, in a blink of an eye, you lose all your underwear, what we need Really good movies like "A Chinese Journey to the West", "Invincible in the East", and "Face Changing", not "The Great Wall", "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains"—”

With the ups and downs of the domestic media provoking and fanning the flames, many ordinary viewers have been led by this public opinion to be very dissatisfied with today's Chinese filmmakers, making complaints about too many bad movies made by film and television companies, and complaining about the director's cloud mountain mist. The acting skills of the actors are like a joke, which makes people fidget awkwardly.

In short, it seems that overnight, Chinese filmmakers have become people who are looked down upon by everyone, complained about and disappointed by everyone!
Although some directors and insiders came out to refute, they were undoubtedly overwhelmed by the big wave of public opinion.

However, the major film and television companies will obviously not be swayed by a few entertainment media. It’s just that when everyone’s film project approval and shooting this year, they still felt some pressure different from the past. Then make a bad movie that everyone shouts at, and it will become a public enemy in an instant, and will be overwhelmed by people's saliva.

Therefore, although the major film companies are too lazy to respond to the satire and ridicule of the media, as the new plans of each company are exposed, many people still find that, except for those small and medium-sized companies, the top ten film and television entertainment companies in the country In the company's new movie project, some long-lost people are back again!

Both Cheng Long and Li Lianlian, who have gone to Hollywood to develop, are back this year, and each has a new movie shooting plan.

Brother Cheng Long's new film is called "Glass Bottle", an urban action film co-operated with the goddess Shu Qi of Taiwan, and brother Jie's new film is called "Die Hard", a cross-border cooperation with Hong Kong and Taiwan king Zhang Geshen, and it is also an urban police action film , and then there is the new film "Play Back To School" by Zhou Xingxing, the king of comedy. The new movie of these three people alone has already made the audience look forward to it.

However, when a piece of news broke out, it even attracted media reports from various Asian countries.

"Ning Sheng directed the new movie "Angel of the Thunderbolt"!"

When everyone was cheering for Ning Sheng's return to the film industry after many years, Ning Sheng was happy like a child because his little princess could call her parents and started to learn to walk!
"Yeah, yay..." Xinxin was wearing a baby bear pattern top and wrapped in a diaper, sitting on the carpet in the living room, her two black and white clear eyes were looking ahead, Ning Sheng and Emma squatted in front, full of With a bright smile on their faces, they clapped their hands together and shouted: "Xinxin, come here, come here, Dad!" "Come here, Mom!" "

Almost a year old, Xinxin is receiving independent walking training after a whole year. Ning Sheng and Emma threw a colorful fur ball to their feet and continued to attract her with laughter and screams.

"Papa!" Xinxin moved!She stretched out her hands and lay down on the carpet, then exerted force with her arms and feet, and then stood up unsteadily, and then she said "baba-mama", shaking her little face with a smile In a flash, he tried his best to walk towards them.

"Wow! Come on, come on!" The two yelled in unison, with an unspeakable excitement.

At this moment, the husky, which was moving around the room, came over wagging its head and swaying its tail. It licked Xinxin's face enthusiastically. Xinxin almost closed her eyes after being licked by it, but let out a crisp laugh, "Haha ---".

Emma kept laughing and yelling to stop her: "You can't lick her, you're not allowed to kiss her! Haha! Hey!" Ning Cheng smiled and got up and walked: "Don't make trouble!" Panting with his tongue out, he ran forward a few steps to grab the fur ball and ran. Ning Cheng wanted to hug it, but he was in vain and almost fell down. He shouted and quickly ran after it, "Stop! ! Give me that ball"

"Oh-ah--ma-ma--" Without resistance, Xinxin walked towards her mother easily. Emma looked at Ning Sheng and Danny who had run away without a trace, and looked at the baby, and smiled. Laughing, continue to clap your palms: "Come here, Mom!"
