You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 546 The first week’s box office shocked the past and present! The king returns and dominates

In the past, the Lunar New Year period (after December and before the Spring Festival) was the largest movie period in the Mainland. It was a movie-watching habit cultivated by filmmakers such as Cheng Long and Feng Xiaogang. Until Wang Quan created the Spring Festival period with "The Rich Second Generation".

Most of the existing billion-rated movies are from the Spring Festival and summer festivals, which makes the Lunar New Year movies even more lonely.

As the leader of China Film Group Corporation, Mr. La definitely hopes to have a few more prosperous and big-time movies. The Lunar New Year movie still has a mass base, but it just needs to be stimulated by blockbusters.

"One Step Away", which was originally responsible for this important task, was moved to the Spring Festival release. Fortunately, King Power's "The Force Awakens" was released. As the popularity of this movie became more and more popular in the mainland, he once again saw the Lunar New Year release this year. The promise of a billion movie.

Today’s Lunar New Year lineup does look a bit deserted, with only one Hollywood blockbuster, “The Force Awakens.”

There is also a Bollywood movie "Oh My God".

There is a foreign cartoon called "The Nut Shop Robbery" and a domestic cartoon called "One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes".

A more decent Chinese-language film is "Detective Chinatown", a collaboration between Chen Sicheng and Wang Baoqiang and Wanda.

In addition, Huayi also presented a film called "Little Love: Getting Better", directed by the famous Gu Changwei, but the subject matter and cast were very different from Gu Changwei, starring Yang Ying and Chen Chichi.

And this movie boldly chose to be released on the same day as "The Force Awakens."

What Huayi thought at the beginning was that "The Force Awakens" might not be acclimated to the mainland, and they might gain a lot of benefits by taking advantage of the popularity of the Lunar New Year movie brought by the movie.

Unexpectedly, the pre-sale of the movie and the audience's expectations are very high now. I obviously don't like Star Wars, but in order to support the stinky feet of King Power, the public opinion about Star Wars on the Internet has changed.

This makes Yang Ying a little worried about this movie in which she stars.

So she discussed with Brother Xiao Ming at home whether she could cooperate with their hype and give "Micro Love" some love.

"How can we cooperate?" Xiao Ming lovingly rubbed the big baby's head.

Yang Ying said with a smile: "Next, the company will release a new trailer, which contains a kiss scene between me and Chen Chichi. You can forward it when the time comes to show your jealousy."

Huang Xiaoming's face immediately drooped. He thought about the time when Da Baobaoer teamed up with Chen Chichi on Running Man and had a very loving interaction.

In order to appear on this show, under the investigation of YYDS, Qiankun asked Chen Chichi, who was divorced, to disclose the news, otherwise he would not be able to get the job, so now Chen Chichi is single, which is very dangerous.

Damn, there’s a kiss scene, and you asked me to repost it!

Is there any need to act jealous?

I'm feeling sour all over now!

While Huang Xiaoming was struggling, his girlfriend kissed her directly and even touched her, finally melting Xiao Ming's heart.

"Okay, tell me when the time comes~" Huang Xiaoming got up and went to take a shower. At most, the netizens would say a few words of love and the baby would be happy.

Looking at himself in the mirror who is still handsome but slightly tired, and whose hair is starting to become thinner, Brother Xiao Ming sighed.

The two movies "Partner" and "Leng Feng" made him reach the pinnacle of his life, successfully seize the opportunity, and become the last of the four major students.

As one of the most handsome actors in the Big Four, he has more and more job opportunities, and good scripts in the entire industry are waiting for him.

But in the past, he had accepted too many bad movies because of favors. As a result, the recent releases of "The White-Haired Witch" and "The Taiping Wheel" have severely affected his reputation. In addition, Wu Jing, Shen Tong, Huang Bo and others are also coming. Xiangxiang, so now he is under great pressure and is afraid that he will fall behind.

Fortunately, Yanzi took him and Tong Dawei to Hollywood to film the movie "Rampage in Hollywood", which is expected to make a comeback.

Huayi is really a bit stretched now. He is leading fewer and fewer big projects, and he has begun to look back.

I heard that Lu Chuan was brought back again, and he also bought a novel "Desert Wolf" from his third uncle from Nanpai to adapt, and the target was Wanda's "The Country of Mysteries".

It's a pity that this movie needs a tough guy as the male lead, so I chose Uncle Hanyu.

I feel that I should still look for more opportunities from Wang Dao. Wang Dao's works don't say whether they have high box office or not, at least they have a really good reputation.

In fact, "The White-Haired Witch", which I starred in, has a box office of more than 300 million, which is not bad, but its reputation is very bad, let alone "The Wheel", which has a double reputation and box office. There will be a sequel next year. This kind of damage to my personal brand is too bad. It’s valuable.

If Wang Dao doesn't have a chance, Qian Kun is also a good choice. If you can't make a main drama about Qian Kun, it's okay.

Last year Qiankun's "All Quiet in Peking" with a cast of veteran actors made the new generation Zhu Yawen successfully rise to prominence. He took on two royal films in one go, both of which were the protagonists, which was simply the envy of others.

After walking out of the bathroom, Big Baby blinked his big eyes and said, "Brother, I have some good news for you!"

"What's the good news?" No need to forward it yourself?

Yang Ying hugged Xiao Ming and said coquettishly: "Mrs. Xiang from China Star just contacted me and wanted to cooperate with us. Their company is about to prepare to produce a mythical blockbuster. The investment is very huge, the lineup is also very large, and Li Lienjie has been roped in to compete. It's "Zhu Xian" by Xu Ke."

Hearing this, Huang Xiaoming was a little excited. In fact, he also auditioned for "Zhu Xian". The combination of fairy and honey would be a hit. Unfortunately, people thought he was too handsome and too old to use him.

Seeing that Brother Xiao Ming is feeling better, Yang Ying is also very happy, so this is called giving a stick to a sweet date.

In fact, Xiang Sheng had told this matter too early. He waited for Brother Xiao Ming to agree to his request to help with the hype before bringing it up. It seemed that this was not a transaction, but that he was using his own connections to help him.

In fact, not only Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying, but also many big names in domestic entertainment have received invitations from China Star.

Such as Wen Zhang, such as Fan Bingbing.

Maybe it was because of the divorce turmoil. Wen Zhang felt that his godfather didn't love him as much as Dangpeng recently, so he thought about hugging more thighs and readily agreed. There was a high probability that he would play Nezha or something like that.

Fan Bingbing, who was invited to play Daji, declined.

It’s a joke, now that Fugui’s father treats me so well, why should I sell my flesh in their movies?

I really thought that the man named Xiang could compete with his rich father. With only one-third of an acre of land in Xiangjiang, he was a loser.

"The Legend of Wu Mei Niang" has been aired, and Fan Bingbing, who finished filming "Parasite", has been busy with it recently.

When being interviewed by reporters, the most common question they asked was whether they had starred in director Wang Quan's new film recently.

Fan Bingbing had several outdoor scenes at that time. The news must have been leaked at that time, but Fan Bingbing refused to admit it. He just had an ambiguous attitude and a happy expression. No matter how you looked at it, he seemed to be saying: Yes, she is my mother, Wang Quan's As for the female lead, she’s awesome!

Jiang Shuying, who has been inseparable with Fan Bingbing recently while doing shows, complained in her heart: Act, keep acting, you will be so awesome.

Jiang Shuying, who has studied acting hard for four years and trained with Wang Quan for many years, finally made her official debut. Because Xu Hui’s character design was pretty good at the beginning, and she had accumulated many fans as “Wang Quan’s assistant” before. This movie Her popularity in the drama is second only to Fan Bingbing.

Now "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang" is broadcast on Mango Channel. It ranks first in ratings at the same time and is significantly ahead of the second place. However, it is not as good as "The Temptation of Going Home" and its reputation is not as good as "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

But as the main investor of this drama, Fan Bingbing made at least 100 million, which is more than the heroine in ten movies she made.

Jiang Shuying was not greedy. After resigning from Director Quan, Director Quan bought her a super mansion in Shanghai.

Today happened to be a promotion in Shanghai. After work, she went directly back to her home and enjoyed a small villa by herself, so comfortable!

But before going to bed, she read the script again.

She filmed a TV series as the second female lead, and the next job waiting for her was that of the first female lead in a movie.

The name of the script is "Pancake Man". It is Qiankun's key project next year and will start filming soon.

Looking at this lineup, Jiang Shuying thought that the heroine must be Liu Yan. Unexpectedly, the director didn't want to cast Liu Yan from the beginning.

Although they are good friends, they have collaborated on several "Diaosi Men" and recently acted as actors in "The Beneficiary" directed by the Olympic bidder. It is easy for the audience to be tired of aesthetics. There are so many Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengta who can never tire of it. partner.

So this time he decided to change the heroine, preferably beautiful, but not very good at acting.

So Wang Quan recommended himself as his former assistant.

If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't live without Xiao Ai for the time being, she would actually be quite suitable.

Jiang Shuying thought the script was very interesting. It has a play-within-a-play structure. Looking at the first half, oh, what a piece of rubbish.

When I saw the back, it suddenly became enlightened and I just felt like it was amazing!

Although his role can be regarded as a true performance, Jiang Shuying felt that it was still a bit difficult.

Just as she was thinking about the role, a phone call interrupted her thoughts.

It was Chen Chichi, an old classmate. He wanted to invite him to attend the premiere of the movie "Little Love: Getting Better" starring him, in Shanghai.

It seems that the popularity of Running Man, coupled with the leading male role in this movie, made Chen Chichi feel that he was on the same level as herself.

It was a pity that Jiang Shuying could not attend the class reunion last time. I heard that Zheng Kai would also go this time. It was a good reunion among classmates.

This time, Chen Chichi used a lot of her connections. Not only were two old classmates, Zheng Kai and Jiang Shuying, but everyone in the love apartment besides Wang Chuanjun was also here. The men's running team was also here except Wang Zulan, who was in Xiangjiang. .

If "Running Man" wasn't his own show and he couldn't make the decision, Chen Chichi would have wanted to invite his heroine Yang Ying to the show again. The last show was very good.

Deng Chao took the initiative to sit with Jiang Shuying. When they were filming "Rich Second Generation", the two had many working contacts, so even though Jiang Shuying had just debuted, her circle of friends were all top domestic and even foreign superstars.

If Chen Chichi hadn't participated in Running Man, she wouldn't have been able to reach Deng Chao, a big-four student.

"Assistant Jiang," Deng Chao was still used to calling her, "Have you had any contact with Director Quan recently?"

"It was fine a few days ago. The boss has been too busy these two days. He has already flown to Europe to promote "The Force Awakens"."

Deng Chao: "I heard that this film was a hit abroad. You are worthy of being directed by Quan!"

Jiang Shuying made a "two" sign and said to Yourong: "In two days, we sold 200 million dollars in North America."

Deng Chaotai knows how difficult it is to earn 200 million US dollars in North America. As the film with the worst performance in North America among the four Chinese-language films of King Power, "Rich Second Generation" only made 30 million US dollars. This has been called a box office myth by foreign media. .

The highest-grossing film, "Leng Feng," has mostly English dialogues, making it less difficult for foreigners to watch the movie, but it only cost 200 million U.S. dollars.

Deng Chao was filled with envy, but that was just envy. Among director Quan's films, the only ones he could get close to were comedy-drama films like "Rich Second Generation". After all, he was not a professional in this field.

However, he also has a small goal of a box office of over 1 billion, so after finishing this premiere, he returned home and started working on his new script.

This time, he promised Sun Li that she would be the heroine in the comedy script, and I would support my own wife!

~

In North America, "The Force Awakens" exceeded 100 million in one day and 200 million in two days. The terrifying ability to attract money at the box office has made everything related to this movie a hot spot on the Internet.

The robot BB-8 has become a new generation of cute pets. Together with the lightsaber, it has become a hot seller. The key is that it is still very expensive.

The on-demand rate of the old version of the six-part series on Netflix has skyrocketed, and all six parts have entered the top ten of the weekly list. Some people want to revisit the old version before watching "The Force Awakens", and some people want to reminisce after watching "The Force Awakens" Old version, this is much more convenient than renting and buying discs. As a result, the number of Netflix’s VIP members has skyrocketed, and so has the stock price.

Wang Quan once again proved his invincible ability as a director of commercial genre films, and he will always be the god of movies! Never have to worry about him screwing up the project! It's not that he can't live without Hollywood, but that Hollywood can't live without him!

The one who benefited the most was the young heroine Saoirse Ronan. She is the eye of the film and the soul of the entire sequel trilogy.

In the past, I mostly played some artistic girls who were close to me in movies. The most influential one was the little girl who ruined other people's lives in "Atonement", but her influence was limited.

And now, she became famous all over the world overnight, and the number of Twitter followers that she didn't take care of soared tenfold!

Her fans have appeared all over the world. They praised her for her Oscar-level acting skills in such a commercial film. They said that her appearance made the film look very high-end. They praised her action scenes as if she had gone to the Shaolin Temple for further study.

Ronan was both worried and secretly happy, and her parents and her agency were extremely happy. However, she was still not used to it after all. She had never interacted with her enthusiastic fans on social networks. She was also cautious about participating in programs and interviews. OK.

Unlike her co-star John Boyega, this black brother exudes happiness from the inside out, even if some people question why the male protagonist of Star Wars is a black man, some people complain about his exaggerated acting skills, and even comment that he is not worthy of Ronaldo. South.

Ronan: Please, our characters are not CP.

Attending a movie event today, John Boyega also revealed to the host that he has planned to buy a mansion in Beverly Hills.

Their salaries will increase in the next "Star Wars" movie, and there will be no shortage of commercial endorsements.

Ronan does not plan to accept any endorsements. Of course, she will also complete the next two "Star Wars" sequels seriously. This is her professional ethics.

Maybe one day she will become a memory of a generation, just like "Han Solo" Harrison Ford who made his final appearance in "The Force Awakens".

But in fact, she hopes to receive a movie of her choice, even if the cost is not high, even if it does not become a global hit after filming.

Just then she was stopped by a woman, "Hello Saoirse, please introduce yourself. I am Greta Gerwig, an actress and a director."

"I know, I've seen your debut novel Nights and Weekends."

Greta Gerwig was surprised. She didn't expect that her movie, which was almost unavailable, would have an audience like Saoirse Ronan.

"Oh, what do you think of that movie? Is it terrible?" Greta laughed.

"It's not bad, just a little mediocre."

Greta was not angry, she said: "How about making a less mediocre work? This is my script. I hope you can spare your precious time to read it."

Greta Gerwig made a special trip to this event to block Ronan. She has liked this girl very much since the "Atonement" period.

Unexpectedly, "Star Wars" would make Ronan famous all over the world at such a young age, so she had to start working on it as soon as possible, otherwise her mailbox would be filled with scripts from the Big Six.

Ronan took the script and saw "Lady Bird" written on the cover, which can also be translated as "Lady Bird".

Ronan stared into Greta's eyes, "Okay, I will read it carefully."

When he got home in the evening, Ronan started to read the script. Although there were activities tomorrow, he initially set it to read for an hour. Unexpectedly, he read it in one sitting and became even more excited.

She feels that this movie is the kind of movie she likes. It is not high-cost, does not have so many technical skills, and can better reflect the energy of an actor.

When she calmed down and just lay down, uh, it was dawn.

Next, Ronan had no choice but to go to the airport with dark circles under his eyes and boarded Wang Quan's private jet.

Next they are going to Europe for a tour to promote "The Force Awakens", especially with Ying.

Before the rise of the mainland market, Daiying was usually the second largest market for Hollywood movies, and Daiying loves the Star Wars series as much as North America. Maybe King Power can take the box office record of Daiying this time.

As for North America, according to this rhythm, it is almost certain.

After the 21st.

Marketing accounts across the United States are promoting the box office performance of "The Force Awakens". In the three days of the first weekend, it grossed 261 million US dollars!

In just three days, the movie ranked fourth in North America!

It can be seen from this ranking that the first, second, and fourth are all from Dragon Heads Up, the third (Guardians of the Galaxy), and the fifth (Captain America 2) are all from Disney/Marvel, and it will soon become 123 They are all about dragons raising their heads.

Although Disney is already at a disadvantage, fans of Dragon Head Up are still unable to avoid dissing Mickey Mouse. Shameless. The director of Captain America 2 is the Russo brothers hired from the "Hunger Games" series. Guardians of the Galaxy created the hit "Force". "King 3" director James Gunn.

But in any case, in addition to the first "Iron Man", Disney has finally produced a stand-alone superhero movie with good reputation and box office, which has strengthened their brand advantage.

Moreover, "Avengers 2" and "Ant-Man" will be released next year. They also plan to cooperate with Sony to let the super popular hero Spider-Man appear in the MCU. It can be said that the future of the entire Marvel series is extremely bright.

To use an old Chinese saying, the dragon and the rat share the same world. The future film market will almost be dominated by these two companies. Together, they will make the other five major companies breathless.

In this era of increasing emphasis on IP, Universal is lucky. They have restarted the story of "Jurassic Park" and also have the "Fast and Furious" series.

Paramount could only endure the nausea and continue to develop "Mission: Impossible" with Tom, and considered letting the somewhat tired Optimus Prime do another fifth film.

Sony Columbia has decided not to make a third film after the failure of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", and now it can only rely on the "007" series to continue to support the scene.

Warner Bros. has even dug out antique-level IPs such as "Mad Max". Without Harry Potter, they are really nothing, so Harry Potter may have to continue to collect wool, and it will cooperate with the legendary Godzilla. King Kong can’t stop, oh, I almost forgot about DC, but whether Justice League will do it depends on the results of Superman Vs.

As for 20th Century Fox, "X-Men: Days of Future Past" can be regarded as a continuation of this old IP, and the well-performing old cucumber green-painted series "Descent of the Planet of the Apes" is also preparing to make its third installment.

The top five still have some wealth, but compared with Long Head Head and Disney, it seems a bit underwhelming.

I thought that the momentum of the Dragon Heading Up series would stop after the "Hunger Games" series, but "Star Wars" was immediately renewed, and Illumination Entertainment's cartoons were selling well, with a steady output of one film every year, Pixar + Disney The animation can't be stopped.

Under this momentum, after the U.S. stock market opened on Monday, the market value of Long Toutou soared by 8% to US$90 billion. In fact, the market value of Long Toutou has increased significantly since the popularity of "Frozen" and "The Force". "Awakening" stimulated another big one on this basis.

At this time, Disney's market capitalization was 150 billion. Originally, the market capitalization of the two companies had always been 1:2, but now Longtitou has reached three-fifths of Disney's.

As for Netflix, its market value is almost 40 billion U.S. dollars, and it is still gaining momentum to take off.

The 2014 China Rich List released by Hurun previously ranked Wang Quan third, behind Alima and Wanda Wang. Now that domestic netizens have seen the changes in the market value of Long Toutou, they feel that Wang Quan may have actually become the The richest man in Mainland China!

He is not yet 30 years old. Success came too early. The key is that he is so rich and is still willing to work diligently to make movies for us poor people. Why don't we support him?

On December 23, "The Force Awakens" opens in theaters!

When Lao Wang heard the news in China, he was happy and a little regretful at the same time. Although Qiankun maintained the number one domestic entertainment stock, its market value was far behind that of Long Toutou, a gap of almost twenty times!

At this time, Lao Wang was walking around a construction site wearing a safety helmet.

This is the construction site of Beijing Longtou Theme Park. After two years of preparation and design, construction officially started last year. Wang Quan has no time to take care of it. Mr. Hou is abroad, so he, a small shareholder, can only come over from time to time to supervise the progress. .

He hopes that it will be completed in 2016 and then compete with Disneyland in Shanghai, but this is obviously unrealistic. It would be good if the first phase of the project can be opened in 2017.

However, the popularity of Frozen and Star Wars this year allows this theme park to add two new ace parks.

During the previous planning, only three IPs, Inception, Ghost Blowing Lantern, and Pacific Rim, had the possibility of being designed into themed partitions. The Twilight Zone, Minions, Return of the Monkey King, and Li Xianji could only be added as elements.

In addition to Frozen and Star Wars, if Xu Ke's "Zhu Xian" succeeds, the park has also reserved a place for it.

When King of Thrones arrived in London, the global first-week box office results of "The Force Awakens" were also announced.

Very high, scary high, $591 million! There is no suspense, this result is also the first in film history, directly ranking 15th in the global annual box office.

Except for mainland China, all other top 50 markets are covered! In total, it has landed in more than 60 markets around the world.

But there are more than 200 countries and regions in the world, so as a literary and artistic worker engaged in film, Wang Quan hopes that the world will be peaceful and people all over the world will live a prosperous life, so that they can afford cultural products such as movies.

The trip to Europe was very short, mainly going to the three major ticket warehouses: Britain, France and Germany. They are all markets that have the potential to obtain US$100 million.

Another market that is expected to exceed 100 million is neon, so the next stop on King Power’s European tour is neon. As for the mainland, it may be a little later, and it will already be released when we return.

In Paris, Wang Quan had just returned from the French Ministry of Culture and brought back a medal.

Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters of the French Republic.

And it is a very rare "Commander's Order".

I always hear that someone in the art world has received the French Knight of the Order of Culture and Arts. In fact, this medal is also graded. Most people get the third-level "Knighthood".

The second level is the "officer's rank".

The first level is the "Commander's Order" held by Wang Quan, which is also the rarest and most precious.

In the film industry, there are Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Gong Li, Wong Kar-wai, and him, five in total.

In addition, the architect Ieoh Ming Pei and the martial arts master Jin Yong both hold the rank of Commander.

Of course, although Cheng Long only has a knighthood, his influence in France may be higher than that of several of their commanders.

And this time I also met someone who was conferring royal power.

While in the car, he couldn't help but call Liu Yifei in China.

"Baby, guess who I just saw?"

"Who is it, my mother~" Liu Yifei was surrounded by cats and dogs, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Wang Quan: "No, it's your dad!"

Liu Yifei immediately sat up and raised a pile of cat cakes, "Ah, you are not in Los Angeles, but in Paris?"

In fact, Sister Xiaoli has gone to the United States at this time, so that's why Liu Yifei said that just now.

"Yes, he was a representative of the embassy and we had dinner together just now."

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, "Then, what did he say to you?"

"What else are you talking about? If it weren't for a diplomatic situation, he would probably kill me with his eyes." Wang Quan smiled, "He should still be complaining about our breakup."

Liu Yifei pursed her lips: "I still use him to complain."

"How long have you not seen each other?" Wang Quan asked.

From her tone, Wang Quan could tell that she was not completely emotionless towards her father.

Liu Yifei sighed softly: "In the past few years, I have been going to Sanya for the New Year. Jiangcheng has not returned much, and he rarely returns to China."

Wang Quan: "Then we can meet her in Cannes next year. Maybe you can also get a medal, and then let her witness your awarding."

"Ah, what kind of award?" Liu Yifei asked.

Then Wang Quan talked about the reason for meeting today. Liu Yifei was in a good mood when she heard that her ex-boyfriend was so powerful.

“Is it because it’s ‘The Force Awakens’?”

"It should be due to this influence, and then coupled with previous achievements."

Later, Wang Quan shared the good news with Mimi. Although he didn't care too much, his wife and girlfriend would definitely be happy for him.

When he returned to the hotel and was about to rest, little girl Saoirse Ronan knocked on the door of King Power.

Wang Quan glanced at the cat's eyes, and then asked the disheveled Xiao Ai to hide in the closet first.

"Ronan, what's the matter?" Wang Quan asked.

Ronan just had a phone call with Greta Gerwig. She has agreed and is willing to accept this script and this role.

I didn’t expect that Greta still had problems because she hadn’t secured investment yet.

Ronan thought that Long Toutou's Yijiang specializes in investing in literary films, so he came over to ask King David if he had any investment intentions.

Wang Quan smiled and said: "I definitely can't do this kind of thing personally. Ma Ling, the vice president of Longtou, is responsible for the artist's affairs. You can ask the director to come to her directly and tell her that I introduced her."

"Thank you, director!" With his words, Ronan felt that the matter was almost inseparable.

Wang Quan added: "But now your worth is too high, Ma Ling is very stingy."

"It doesn't matter. I can reduce the salary. There must be two sets of standards for artistic films and commercial films."

Wang Quan smiled, it was because of her words that he was inseparable.

Greta Gerwig is indeed a talented director, and "Lady Bird" is also an excellent work. Wang Quan also hopes that the company can cooperate with her for a long time.

After Ronan left, Wang Quan knocked on the closet and said, "Xiao Ai, come out."

The next day, Wang Quan and his team flew to Neon again, when "The Force Awakens" was finally released in mainland China, which had been long awaited!

The film schedule on that day was as high as 60%. For the same new film and the same famous director, Gu Changwei's "Micro Love" only had 20%.

This is actually very good. Theater managers all know that "Micro Love" will definitely not reach one-third of the box office of "The Force Awakens". A fifth of it would be good.

Coincidentally, today is also the day of the preliminary examination for the Beijing Film Academy's art exam.

All the handsome men and beauties from all over the country have come to the capital. Today is Nortel, and two days later there will be Chinese opera. In order to facilitate the candidates to take the exam, the art exam times of the three major art schools are usually separated.

"Ah, look, is that Liu Haoran?"

A group of little girls gathered together and talked about it.

Liu Haoran is famous for starring in Chen Sicheng's movie version of "Northern Love", and "Detective Chinatown" co-starring him and Wang Baoqiang will be released on the last day of this year, and the promotion is officially in full swing at this time.

Even Liu Haoran's art exam has become a part of the film's promotion. Liu Haoran, who has signed a contract with Chen Sicheng's company, has a staff to film before entering the school.

He can't be said to be very handsome, but he seems to be well-behaved and has a rather memorable appearance.

But Liu Haoran seemed to be worried.

Because his boss, his good brother Chen Sicheng, told him that taking the Nortel exam was just a formality, and the focus should be on acting.

Chen Sicheng hopes that this good brother will become his alumnus, but Liu Haoran even wants to become an alumnus of Wang Quan.

"Next, please come in~"

Just as Liu Haoran was about to stand up, the girl in front smiled and said, "It's me, it's me, Teacher Liu, don't worry."

Liu Haoran sat down embarrassedly, because he had already made his debut and was used to others calling him Teacher Liu.

It turned out that someone didn't recognize him and thought he was really a teacher, so a beautiful girl with short hair came over and asked, "Teacher, where is the first audition for the directing department?"

"I, I don't know, I'm not a teacher~" Liu Haoran waved his hands awkwardly.

The director candidate named Jiaze hurriedly ran to ask others, and many people breathed a sigh of relief. He was so good-looking that he was taking the directing exam, and there was one less opponent to compete with. Oh yeah!

The girl in front started to introduce herself after entering, "Hello teachers, my name is Ding Xiaoying. I come from Shenzhen Town and have no acting experience. However, I have auditioned for director Wang Quan's new film before and received praise from the assistant director."

The girl has a bright appearance, is confident and loves to smile. The first thing I can see is her appearance and conversation, which is generally stable.

Then Liu Haoran went in and introduced himself. Not surprisingly, the examiner was very interested in him and chatted a few more words. He even asked how he was selected by director Chen Sicheng, and he answered honestly.

This was a piece of cake for him, but he was confused as to whether he really wanted to listen to Chen Sicheng. Although he did do it for his own good and taught Chinese opera better, he was more interested in movies.

When the preliminary test was over, Liu Haoran looked at the time and saw that he would definitely not be able to catch up with the first game of "The Force Awakens" today, and the second game would be too difficult.

Then there is no need to rush, he will find a show with an IMAX giant screen and enjoy it slowly.

This may be director Wang Quan's most masterpiece worth watching on the big screen after "Inception", and it was also shot with an IMAX camera.

In the past few days, Liu Haoran has been reading a lot of spoiler-free movie reviews of "The Force Awakens". He was so greedy that he paid more attention to it than his own movie "Detective Chinatown".

After finding a Dawang Cinema and using Maoyan to book an IMAX giant-screen ticket, Liu Haoran had a meal near the cinema.

Unexpectedly, at the same event, I met two girls in the examination room.

He knew that the former one was called Ding Xiaoying, but he didn't know the latter one who was taking the directing examination.

However, we are not seated next to each other, so we just nod and say hello.

Then I devoted myself to watching movies. Although it was a working day on a Tuesday, even though it was daytime, IMAX shows of this kind of blockbusters were not worried about selling out. Even though it was expensive, the occupancy rate was at least 80%, and it was expected to be full at night.

Although Liu Haoran paid attention to avoid spoilers in the film review, the "positive" character at the beginning, the black and white starring cast, and Han Solo's curtain call were all known in advance, so there must be some surprises missing.

But the big scenes in the movie still shocked him so much that he said that the more than 100 yuan for the ticket was well spent.

He had read a science fiction novel called "The Three-Body Problem" by Chen Sicheng. He felt that Wang Quan and the director of "Interstellar" Nolan were the only two people who made him feel that they could make a science fiction film with the grand feeling of "The Three-Body Problem". director.

So awesome!

In fact, this kind of movie spoiler is not a problem at all. After all, suspense is not what attracts the audience. The emotions, big scenes, and alien style are the attractions of Star Wars.

On the other hand, the movie "Detective Chinatown" that I starred in was a movie that absolutely could not be spoiled, so Director Chen was extra careful when editing the trailer. It had to be attractive and not too revealing.

For this reason, Chen Sicheng did not conduct any test screenings, only internal screenings. Liu Haoran was lucky enough to watch it and thought it was very good, no less than the "Manslaughter" written and directed by Wang Quan.

After watching the movie, Liu Haoran hurried home and had to prepare for the exams for China National Theater and Nortel. He planned to complete three exams for both China National Theater and Nortel. If China Theater's results were unsatisfactory, at least he would have Nortel to support him.

Nowadays, the movie box office is too transparent. Before leaving the cinema, Liu Haoran took a look at today's box office situation.

Then I saw that "The Force Awakens" already had 200 million, while the second-ranked "Little Love: Getting Better" only had 20 million.

Not one-third, not one-fifth, but one-tenth!

Yang Ying was very short of breath after a busy day of promotions. Huang Xiaoming already knew the reason and comforted her: "Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and all the people watching movies are couples. I think most of them will choose romantic comedies, and It’s not a sci-fi action movie.”

"That makes sense~" Yang Ying kissed Brother Xiao Ming and thanked him for his tenderness.

The results were released the next day. "The Force Awakens" broke the single-day box office record of "Charlotte" with a first-day box office of 243 million, which was 235 million.

And "Charlotte" originally broke the record of "Leng Feng", but when it changed hands, the record still belonged to Wang Quan.

This day can be said to be a carnival for Hollywood fans, King Power fans and blockbuster lovers, with huge energy bursting out in one day.

But by the next day, even on Christmas Eve, the box office of "The Force Awakens" began to decline, only 215 million.

And "Micro Love" did receive a single-day box office of 35 million due to the support of couples. With the cost of this movie, it will be able to make back its money in a few days.

King Quan spent his Christmas in Tokyo, with Yui Aragaki and Nozomi Sasaki, but as a married person, he could only stay at home and have fun.

Afterwards, he walked around Akihabara with his old classmate Umekawa Hideo and experienced the fun of being an otaku.

After Christmas, Wang Quan left to return to China. At this time, the mainland box office of "The Force Awakens" had already reached 700 million, and 1 billion was already close at hand~

On the way back home, Wang Quan looked at the domestic ratings of this movie.

After all, it has no emotions. Douban only scored 8.3 points, barely enough, not as good as the Twilight series.

Maoyan scored 9.4 points, and the audience still supported it. At least the theater effect is definitely the top movie in recent years. Unlike Douban, you can score it without watching it.

"Caihua-chan, do you want something to drink?" Wang Quan was thinking, Zhang Tianai asked Sanji Caihua in a low voice~
