Chapter 586 The linkage between ancient and modern times in the Philippines and Vietnam
Sina Entertainment News
"The movie "Hongmen Banquet" is currently being screened across the country. According to the film studio, the film won the box office and film ranking championship last week."
"After the box office easily exceeded 100 million, the number of moviegoers continued to rise in the second week and continued to lead the Lunar New Year period in the movie market. The cumulative box office in two weeks exceeded 150 million, leading other films in the same period."
"This week, "Hongmen Banquet" will face off against two films, "The Thirteen Beauties" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate." The melee between the three Lunar New Year blockbusters will become a major attraction in this year's Lunar New Year market."
Before "Thirteen Hairpins" was released, "Hongmen Banquet" was indeed the leading one.
Starting from late November, many films will be released together before the release of two super blockbusters, "The Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate."
For example, "The Exorcist" and "Happy Family" were released on the same day as "The Banquet", as well as "Big Deal", "Everywhere", "Magic Fantasy Show", "Racing Legend" and so on.
In addition, "Battle of the Deep", "Three Idiots" and "Roll!" released last week. A series of films such as "Axin", "Chasing Love" and "Not Afraid of Thieves" show how fierce the battle for screen resources is on the eve of the Lunar New Year.
A film like "Happy Magic" is considered a big-budget film in terms of investment cost and cast.
Still after a day trip to the theater, he quietly became cannon fodder.
"Hongmen Banquet" easily exceeded 100 million at the box office on December 6.
But Li Renggang and the starring actors of "Hongmen Banquet" know in their hearts that how far "Hongmen Banquet" can go at the box office depends on whether the two New Year blockbusters "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" can survive.
Wang Zhonglei came back from the premiere of "Thirteen Hairpins" with his brows furrowed into the character "Chuan".
Li Chen really put too much pressure on him.
With one move, "Olympic Assistance", the top three of the eight major theaters in the country were bound.
How can this be played? Isn't "Dragon Flying Swords" inherently deficient?
It was the premiere of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" on the 13th, and Wang Zhonglei was holding his breath again.
Reported by Chengdu Evening News
""Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" premieres in Beijing, Xu Ke: Zhang Yimou is not an enemy."
"The two Lunar New Year blockbusters "The Thirteen Beauties" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" continued their tit-for-tat showdown in Beijing yesterday
"Old Weird" Xu Ke led Li Lianjie, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Li Yuchun and other stars to attend the premiere conference, while Zhang Yimou brought "Thirteen Hairpins" and Bell to the film's commemorative book conference. ”
"Xu Ke said, "I have 30 years of experience in making movies just for this "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate"! ”
"Investor Wang Zhonglei is even more enthusiastic: "This is Xu Ke's greatest work, and the box office will exceed "Let the Bullets Fly". ”
"Regarding this narrow encounter with Zhang Yimou, Xu Ke said that Lao Mouzi is not an enemy, and I also hope that his film will sell well."
"Xu Ke also revealed that "Dragon Gate" is just a stepping stone for 3D. His next film he wants to remake "Lin Hai Xue Yuan"."
Wang Zhong was angry because the industry was full of snobs, and all the people present at the premiere of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" were artists from the Huayi series.
Except for a few artists other than Huayi who were close friends with Wang Zhonglei, the rest were either not in Beijing or unwell.
What's even more annoying is that the commemorative book launch of "Thirteen Hairpins" was the headline on the portal website.
The premiere of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" is not far behind.
Wang Zhonglei gritted his teeth and secretly felt angry. He would wait until next year when Huayi would be fully active and get involved in all walks of life before he would argue with Li Chen.
Others may not have taken Xu Ke's joke about "Lin Haixueyuan" seriously. After all, the risks and benefits of remaking the main theme of "Linhaixueyuan" are not directly proportional.
But Li Chen noticed that it was not the later film "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom". Wang Zhonglei seemed to be in a hurry. At this time, it would be okay if you clicked on "Let the Bullets Fly".
Anyway, it’s all finished, and it has nothing to do with Rongchen Pictures. A box office of more than 600 million seems not a big deal for "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" with an investment of 200 million.
Nowadays, "Chinese Police" tops the film and television box office charts with RMB 1.53 billion. For at least a year or two, no one will dare to boast that Haikou can knock "Chinese Police" off the altar.
But Li Chen's "Charlotte Troubles" is definitely the unanimous public enemy of several major directors.
It's 8 o'clock in the morning in New York time, and it's already 21 o'clock in the evening in Beijing.
As soon as the video was connected, Ms. Liu said excitedly: "I'll tell you good news."
Li Chen felt very happy when he saw the video of his lovely wife with a pure temperament and a blue bow headband.
"What good news? It's not you who has it again, right?"
"Fuck you!" Miss Liu said to her husband softly with a rosy complexion.
Thinking of the night before her husband returned to Beijing, Liu Yifei felt hot all over.
"Besides the second child, what other good news is there?" Li Chen said with a smile.
"Hepburn and I are going to share the stage!" Liu Yifei said excitedly, ignoring her husband's teasing.
"Sharing the stage with Hepburn?"
"Yeah!"
Looking at her husband's slight frown, Ms. Liu smiled proudly and said: "Silly, I'm talking about the wax figure!"
Li Chen suddenly realized: "Madame Tussauds?"
Miss Liu immediately smiled and said: "That's right, and it's not one family, but two families working together."
"The two companies are linked together? Xiangjiang and Shanghai?" This surprised Li Chen.
Rongchen Films also recently received an invitation from Madame Tussauds in Shanghai to install a wax figure of Deng Ziqi.
Probably because Deng Ziqi was the first Shanghainese to be nominated for a Grammy.
In Li Chen's view, Miss Liu's move into Madame Tussauds Shanghai was a matter of time and no big deal.
Even in her previous life, Ms. Liu was still the first actress among 85 Flowers to settle in Tussauds.
Little did he know that Hongxing Wu was also contacted by Xiangjiang.
This is a bit rare. It seems to be the first time for Madame Tussauds to link up the two places.
"Well, Shanghai is settled in the image of Zhao Pan'er, and Xiangjiang is settled in the modern image. The other party said that this is called a fashion journey spanning ancient and modern times. I think it is very good."
"They also told me the theme. They have already designed it, and it is called 'Fei Yue Ancient and Modern'!"
"Not bad, not bad. Congratulations to Ms. Liu for becoming the first celebrity in the history of Madame Tussauds to collaborate with two places." Li Chen joked with a smile.
Liu Yifei's face was hot. She knew in her heart that without her husband, she would definitely not be able to do this with her own red star Wu.
"Congratulations to Director Li, too, for being the first celebrity husband in the history of Madame Tussauds to collaborate with two places." Ms. Liu couldn't help laughing.
Li Chen's great joy: "Same joy, same joy."
Early in the morning, I talked on the phone with my husband for half an hour and teased the fat little Wu Xia.
Liu Yifei was in an extremely beautiful mood. After breakfast, Liu Yifei called Yang Siwei again.
She had been preparing for Li Chen's birthday plan for a long time, and Yang Siwei was an indispensable person.
"Madam boss, what are your instructions for this late at night?"
"How are you preparing for what I asked you to prepare?"
"What the boss lady ordered must be foolproof. I'm afraid the boss will be moved to tears this time." Yang Siwei smiled and sighed inwardly at Yifei's wonderful idea to come up with such a birthday gift.

"The Shanghai Tussauds x Xiangjiang Tussauds jointly opens a fashion journey spanning ancient and modern times."
"Yesterday, Madame Tussauds in Shanghai and Madame Tussauds in Hong Kong collaborated to officially announce that the twin wax figures of the famous young actor Liu Yifei will be stationed in Shanghai and Hong Kong respectively."
"This time, two distinctive wax figures of Liu Yifei will be stationed in Shanghai Tussauds and Xiangjiang Tussauds respectively with the theme of "Philippines transcend ancient and modern times, both 'real' and 'illusory'." "Among them, the first national statue in Shanghai is The fashionable "Zhao Pan'er" wax figure will show young people the beauty of Chinese style and the classical beauty of oriental women. ”
As soon as the news came out, Tianxian fans were overjoyed and rushed to Liu Yifei and Li Chen's Weibo to check in.
"On the beauty of classical music, he is the first immortal in ancient and modern times."
"For the linkage between the two places, only Tianxian can receive such treatment, and Xiao Lizi has contributed a lot to it."
"Yifei, double ice and four little flowers, indeed Yifei is the top one."
"Shuangbing has just settled in Shanghai, but he has to be an immortal to make extraordinary moves!"
"Awesome, the international film has not been released yet!"
Liu Yifei's presence in the wax museums in Xiangjiang and Shanghai is nothing at all in the eyes of big bosses like Li Chen.
It's only a matter of time before you become famous.
But in the eyes of many celebrities, especially first-line actresses, it is too shocking.
Madame Tussauds is one of the highest-level wax museums in the world, with many contemporary top figures from various industries invited to stay.
Artists who have classic film and television drama images or have a certain status in the entertainment industry have the opportunity to be invited to settle in, which can reflect the artist's status and recognition to a certain extent.
When Madame Tussauds opened in Shanghai, Li Chen was already a famous director of the Palme d'Or at home and abroad, so he naturally received the invitation.
But Li Chen still declined. The poet has already been a great director of the Palme d'Or and has not been in the limelight, so why bother.
Li Chen may not care about this, but celebrities cannot take it lightly.
Zhang Ziyi's face has been darkening for almost a day. Every time an actress enters Madame Tussauds, she will be taken out as a negative example.
"Who cares? The actors are not compared with their works, but with the dummies! Humph, it doesn't matter!" Zhang Ziyi said coldly in front of her agent Ji Lanlan in the dressing room.
"Don't say this outside, otherwise it will cause another trouble!" Ji Lanlan urged urgently.
She knew that the choice of Deng Jiajia in "BJ Loves Seattle" made her own artists hold their breath.
But no matter how angry you are, you have to endure it. The person facing you is not a small director from a small company, but a giant prehistoric beast.
Hua Yidu is no match, let alone Zi Yi.
"I'm too lazy to say more. I'll wait until "The Grandmaster" is released. Hum! I also have Director Wu's "Love of Life and Death"!"
"Oh, my aunt, please don't let it slip. We haven't signed a contract with Director Wu yet!"
"Even if you sign the contract, don't look proud. Director Wu and Director Li are sworn enemies!"
Zhang Ziyi's shoulders slumped, she sighed and stopped talking.
I declined "The Invisible Guest", which seemed to have ended my relationship with Rongchen Films.
Even the teacher Zhang Yimou was helpless.
When Zhang Ziyi was angry, Fan Congcheng became sour.
She only settled in Tussauds Shanghai in April this year. Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei came from behind and directly caused the cross-strait Tussauds to join forces.
There is also a theme of "Philippines, Past and Present" specially prepared for her personally.
This treatment really made her jealous.
Xiangjiang Dusha also sent her an invitation, but it was not announced with any fanfare.
"Fortunately, we didn't expose it ourselves, otherwise..." Mu Xiaoguang was a little lucky.
Fan Congyi smiled and said: "Otherwise, someone would say that Fan Congyi is not as good as Liu Yifei."
"There is nothing hesitant about this. She is indeed outstanding. Otherwise, how could Brother Chen marry her?"
Mu Xiaoguang heard that Fan Congcheng's words were insincere: "I didn't mean that, Congcheng."
Fan Zhengtong suppressed the bitterness in his heart, and charmingly stroked his hair sideways: "It doesn't matter, Brother Guang, I believe you!"
"You can definitely help me become the most famous actress in cross-strait, three places and even the world!"
Mu Xiaoguang, who was so fascinated by Fan Zhitong's charming appearance, seemed to have forgotten his last name and vowed: "No problem, you can definitely do it!"
Not only big flowers like Zhang Ziyi and Fan Congcheng were deeply touched.
Even Yang Mi is full of yearning for Madame Tussauds.
"Jiajia, when do you think I can move into Madame Tussauds? It would be best if we can link up the two places like Yifei."
On Wudang Mountain, "Wudang" was still being intensely filmed. Yang Mi was sitting in the tent, holding a mirror and touching up her makeup.
"Hongmen Banquet" is certainly a hit at the box office, but Yang Mi is just a glimpse, unlike this "Wu-Tang" where she is the real female lead.
Although Li Renggang repeatedly emphasized that Yang Mi was the only heroine in "Hongmen Banquet", both Yang Mi and Zeng Jia knew what was going on.
Zeng Jia said confidently: "It will be a matter of time before we settle in, and linking the two places is not a problem."
"Mimi, we are in a good situation now. Before your contract expires next September, we must fight for the company's resources and grab them."
"It's the end of the year. I'm afraid Director Li already knows the company's film schedule for the next two years. If we don't fight, others will take advantage of it."
Yang Mi nodded: "That's why I have to ask for leave from the crew. Yifei celebrates her senior's birthday, and I have to be there!"
New York Airport
Mother and daughter Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli are preparing to return to Los Angeles.
Liu Xiaoli murmured in her heart that girls are outgoing. It is true.
My daughter has never put so much thought into a person's birthday.
Christmas Eve is approaching, which is not only Li Chen’s birthday, but also the foreigner’s New Year’s Eve.
Many crews take the day off on Christmas Eve, and The Hunger Games is no exception.
Domestic "Thirteen Hairpins" premiered yesterday. Liu Yifei was sitting at the airport reading the domestic news about "Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" with a smile on her face.
""The Thirteen Beauties" beat "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" in terms of box office and first-day attendance!"
"Yesterday, two New Year blockbusters, "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" and "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" were released successively."
"Although "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" took advantage of the time advantage to attract many movie fans in the early stage of its release, it will start at 18:00 in the evening."
"The advantages of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" are becoming more and more obvious."
"The reporter learned from several movie theaters in this city that as of the ticket sales statistics before 24:00 in the evening, "The Thirteen Hairpins" has significantly surpassed "The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" in terms of box office and number of moviegoers."
< br>
"As of the deadline yesterday, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" had already earned 105,225 yuan at the box office, while "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" only had 20,474 yuan. This is still the result of increasing the number of screenings of the 3D version of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate". If the 2D version had been released, I don't know how much it would have dropped. Box Office.”
Wang Zhonglei was furious. The box office in the first 10 hours was not as good as the 6-hour box office of "Thirteen Hairpins".
It will be difficult to surpass "Let the Bullets Fly" with its first-day sales of 23 million.
What makes him even more angry is that the box office of "Thirteen Hairpins" on the first day was only 24 million, even though it only lasted for six hours.
But judging from this, it may be difficult for "The Thirteen Hairpins" to reach 200 million in box office in its first week.
This means that "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" and "Thirteen Hairpins" can only make money by relying on overseas copyrights and other income
