Chapter 318 Racing to Enclose Land, Becoming Popular Overseas
On December 15th, the popularity of "Police Incident" continued.
Han Shanping strongly urged Chen Linfeng to hold a celebration banquet.
Actually, according to his point of view, he doesn't think this celebration banquet is very interesting.
But Han Shanping attaches great importance to this, especially now that it is about 200 million. It is uncertain whether it can reach 300 million. 200 million is still an ice cube.
There was a long red carpet outside the venue, and the box office results of "Police" were hung on both sides.
There are eight zeros after 2, which seems a bit interesting.
Now Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia have begun to be released one after another.
The specific results of Southeast Asia are not yet known, and data feedback will be slow.
In Hong Kong and Taiwan, the first weekend box office on Hong Kong Island was HK$13.46 million, equivalent to 12.09 million RMB.
Bay Island’s first weekend revenue was NT$82 million, equivalent to 18.2 million RMB.
Both of them are ranked second in the competition for first place in the year. In the end, I am not sure who is higher compared with "Yangtze River No. 7".
However, there is a high probability that "Police Incident" will be worse on Hong Kong Island and better on Bay Island.
Chen Linfeng's popularity in Wandao is indeed a bit fierce now.
Although the data in Southeast Asia has not been released, the popularity is obvious to all and has been reported in local news.
As a fan of Chen Linfeng's career, someone specially reprinted and translated the relevant news, which was all news about local media and fans praising the movie for being good-looking.
The discussion posts on the local Internet also have translations. It can be seen that the popularity is not small.
When the data comes out, it will definitely be the same.
The success of "Police Incident" outside the mainland has made domestic film and television companies jealous.
Who would have thought that "Police Incident" would not only be a small hit in the mainland, but also have such good results outside.
At least looking at it now, the box office in the mainland may not be as high as outside.
What is this? This is pure profit. It’s all wasted money.
If the reputation created by "Star You" is properly maintained, Xiao Chen will probably be devastated for the rest of his life.
Whether it is domestic media or film and television companies, they generally do not mention the overseas performance of movies.
Do you think they don’t care or pay attention? They don't pay attention to it.
In most cases, it is good to sell a wave of copyrights overseas and earn a one-time fee.
A typical example is "Red Cliff". No matter how high the box office of Neon is, it has nothing to do with domestic production companies.
Chen Linfeng is obviously relying on the reputation he has accumulated in the past to start racing overseas.
Just like Hong Kong Island in its heyday.
Why did people like Fang Long and the Four Heavenly Kings feel so lofty at the beginning? Isn’t it because they were not only popular at home, but also had a high audience abroad.
Fang Long has been rampant in the Southeast Asian and Taiwanese film markets for 20 consecutive years, often winning the annual box office championship.
The little box office in Hong Kong Island is nothing.
Otherwise, why would he become so famous and even become a representative of the Chinese for a time.
Chen Linfeng is now following Fang Long’s path.
It doesn’t take twenty years, just ten years, and he will be able to catch up with Fang Long in the film and television industry.
Because the domestic box office market is about to pick up, the figures in the mainland are too high, and it is easy to create a god.
The media have discussed the above point of view in their reports. Chen Linfeng is now in a positive cycle.
Whether he is an actor or a director, any achievement he makes will radiate into other fields.
The directors were envious and jealous of Xiao Chen.
This is his second film and his first commercial film.
What a congenital way to make movies.
But envy is envy. Others should have no chance to be like him, a director and actor who have blossomed.
At five or six o'clock in the afternoon, guests began to walk on the red carpet.
Almost everyone who receives the invitation will come to join in the fun.
New Year's Day is approaching. At this time, the media is most agitated, and celebrities also want to take this opportunity to show more of their faces.
In addition to these star actors, Han Shanping also invited many producers, producers and related friends.
He was a little too excited, and "Red Cliff" was about to suffer a huge loss.
What Xiao Chen said was right at first, but now he has to accept it.
But Han Shanping didn’t have too much entanglement, because “Police Incident” made up for the shortfall.
Yes, the cost of "Red Cliff" is much higher, and one movie will definitely not be able to cover it all.
But everyone can see that there must be more than one "Police Case" and a sequel is inevitable.
With the reputation of the first film being so good, there is a high probability that the next one will make a lot of money. With this in and out, it is possible that it will make even more money.
So why is Han Shanping so happy? Because this is his political achievement.
In such a special year as 2008, not only did I not lose money, I will still make money in the future.
His old Han Gong is so great.
There are many reporters on both sides, and of course the media care about movies that are big hits at the box office.
What's more, the crew of "Police Incident" is the best reporting material nowadays.
Chen Linfeng took the lead as the host, and Liu Qianqian was with him.
Zhou Jielun is also here. This year's "Slam Dunk" has a box office of over 100 million. When he was on the set, he had a good relationship with Shi Xiaolong.
I am here just to cheer.
Wang Zhonglei also led a group of actors from Huayi to the scene.
In addition, directors such as Zhang Yimou and Ning Hao also came to join in the fun.
Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu caused a commotion when they were photographed by reporters on the red carpet.
In the past, Jiang Wu has always been far worse than Jiang Wen. The attention of the public, including the media, has always been focused on his brother.
But this time, he has the absolute protagonist of a hit movie with him, which is obviously different.
When the reporter was taking pictures, he shouted for the two of them to express their feelings.
Jiang Wen didn't say much, but still stood there, hugging his brother, and letting everyone take pictures.
When he came to the end of the red carpet, Chen Linfeng stepped forward to greet him. Shi Xiaolong, who had just walked across the red carpet, was also with him.
"Brother Jiang, I haven't seen you for a while."
"Hey, which brother are you calling?" Jiang Wen spoke.
"Of course I called you."
"That's not right. Now Wu Zi is also Brother Jiang. Next time I call him Brother Wen. It's easy to differentiate without distinction."
Chen Linfeng smiled and followed the good example. .
Jiang Wu waved his hands hurriedly, "No, I think the director can just call me Wu Zi. I want to kowtow to you now, how can I let you call me brother."
Said , he raised his hands and bowed seriously to Chen Linfeng.
"Thank you for the compliment, director. You have helped me a lot."
The reporters around them pointed their cameras at the scene. Is this a tribute to the dock in front of my brother?
Chen Linfeng didn't wait for the other person to completely bend down, he quickly stepped forward to support him, "No, Brother Wu, it's boring if you do this."
He turned to look at Jiang Wen, "Let's take a photo together Let’s take a photo, it’s time to go in.”
The three of them were standing together now, Chen Linfeng pulled Xiaolong over again, and the four of them spread out one after another.
The media clicked the shutter like crazy. Two of the most famous brothers in the entertainment industry were in the same frame, side by side. Such a picture was rare.
Not long after, Chen Linfeng called Liu Qianqian again, and Jiang Wen called Zhou Yun again, and they all took pictures together. You still can't ignore your girlfriend.
"Sissi, come closer."
"Director Chen, as a man, take the initiative."
The reporters took pictures whenever they wanted, and there were quite a lot of demands.
But today’s occasion was more joyful. Chen Linfeng did as he was told and put his arm around Liu Qianqian’s waist.
Sissi got even closer and snuggled up directly.
The two people’s strategy has always been to gradually get closer to the public.
As time goes by, everyone will become accustomed to their close relationship, so they can find time to announce it
With one stroke of the sun, your wish will surely come true.
The red carpet session is over and everyone has entered the venue.
All the main creators of the "Goodbye 1990" crew are also present today. After all, the TV series will be broadcast soon.
Kong Sheng felt his head swell as he looked at Director Chen's current state of glory.
Scenes have begun to appear that the ratings of the TV series have exploded and I have become famous.
After all, he is not the chief director of "Crossing Guandong", so it is not as important as "Reply".
In Kong Sheng’s view, “Reply” is a work on the level of “Enter Guandong”. Whether it can exceed it depends on God’s will.
Huang Xiaoming was not with Shu Chang, Qin Hao and other crew members.
Zhao Yanzi was present and he was chatting happily with the other party.
There were also people coming from Hong Kong Island. Wu Mengda smiled brightly. Next to him, Andy Lau, Fang Long and Boss Yang were also talking and laughing.
When Fang Long entered the venue, he was interviewed by the media and mentioned that he would be cooperating with director Xiao Chen in a movie next year.
It attracted exclamations from the media.
Zhang Yimou also said that he and Xiao Chen will co-direct a new movie next year, which made reporters even more excited.
Today has just begun, is there so much big news?
The most important activity today is of course the ice breaking session.
Han Shanping gave Chen Linfeng a hammer head.
"Xiao Chen, you must be the one to break the ice today."
"Yes, you are the only one suitable for this role, director."
The main creators of the crew All encouraged.
Chen Linfeng did not refuse. He raised his hammer and hit the ice cube carved into 200 million pieces.
The moment the ice was broken, the audience burst into applause.
China’s film market has added another powerful player.
The subsequent chat and social session.
Several producers and directors chatted in a scattered circle.
The bosses are very interested in what Zhang Yimou said before about his cooperation with Xiao Chen.
"Director Zhang, please tell me what the format of this film is."
Zhang Yimou answered truthfully, "I joined Xiao Chen's crew and co-directed with him. The script and crew are all his. ”
What?
A few people were shocked. Where is Zhang Weiping?
Are the two families separated?
After further questioning, I found out that Zhang Yimou had taken a fancy to Chen Linfeng's script, just this time.
That makes sense.
Wang Zhonglei was very interested in the film and asked, "It should still be in the preparation period now. I wonder if there is still a chance to join?"
Zhang Yimou spread his hands and said, "I don't care about this part. , you have to ask Xiao Chen."
Han Shanping smiled happily, "Mr. Wang, you are late, Xiao Chen and I have already collected enough investment."
When Wang Zhonglei heard this, he secretly cursed the mountain eagle for eating alone and not leaking any information.
He said as if he was complaining, "Mr. Han, you can't always control Xiao Chen. This should give us a chance to cooperate and let others experience our meticulous care."
Han Shanping said bluntly, "Xiao Chen, do you still need to take care of me? As long as you can contribute to the movie, he will not turn you away. If you just want to make money, then it is not so easy to serve."
At this point, it is natural for China Film to take the lead and occupy the investment share.
Wang Zhonglei choked for a moment. Huayi's biggest advantage as a star actor was of no use to Xiao Chen. Instead, more stars wanted to join his crew.
In promoting distribution, helping with censorship, media relations, and film scheduling, they are definitely not as good as China Film.
If you think about it, Huaying is really an enlarged version of Huayi, doing everything better than Huayi.
When Wang Zhonglei had a headache, Fang Long approached Chen Linfeng.
"Xiao Chen, congratulations on the box office success."
"Thank you, Brother Fanglong, the Chinese Zodiac will definitely perform better next year."
Fang Long smiled and waved his hand, "It's hard to say, I don't know if there is still a market for my style."
"There must be, really high-level action movies, everyone will still like to watch them, not to mention And Brother Fang Long’s appeal.”
The two sides exchanged a few words and got to the point.
Fang Long asked, "I heard that you and Director Zhang are cooperating to make a film next year. How will you arrange this time?"
"Director Zhang is already making preparations. It is estimated that next year If the filming can be completed in March, we will start filming in mid-to-late March. What do you think?”
Fang Long exclaimed, "You are really open all year round. You can work as hard as I did when I was young."
Chen Linfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Who knows how, the schedules are getting more and more, there is no way , who calls me greedy? I don’t want to let it go when I encounter a good opportunity.”
Fang Long nodded understandingly, “It was like this when I was young. If there is an opportunity to go further, who is willing to let it go.” "
He patted Chen Linfeng on the shoulder, "There is no problem with the time. I will cooperate with you here."
Fang Long chatted for a while and took the initiative to leave.
On such occasions, he still prefers to play with beautiful women, and there are many female celebrities who are interested in his name, so it can be said that they go both ways.
Liu Qianqian was sitting on a sofa, chatting with Yang Mi, Shu Chang, Jiang Xin and Liu Tao.
Originally, these people are incompatible with each other, but with Liu Qianqian as the central axis, they can get together and talk for a few words.
Chen Linfeng finished chatting with Fang Long and waved to her.
Liu Qianqian saw it, so she apologized, stood up and walked over there.
Liu Tao was so curious about the relationship between these two people that he gossiped, "Tell me, how far has the relationship between these two people developed?"
As the most famous on-screen couple in the industry, not only ordinary people , there are many speculations about their relationship in the industry.
Some say the two are already a couple, while others say they are just friends.
It is also said that their relationship has actually faded and they appear to have a good relationship now. This is actually because of the requirements of the endorsement contract.
The evidence is that in Chen Linfeng's new movie, Liu Qianqian has very few scenes.
If it was a relationship between a boyfriend and a girlfriend, I would definitely recommend changing the scene.
Not all young people are like this, and Liu Qianqian looks like a fairy. What man can stand it?
In short, there are all kinds of things, which makes people confused.
Jiang Xin and Liu Qianqian have filmed several movies together, and I feel that Qianqian has a temperament that is difficult to get close to.
She guessed, "I feel like they are just good friends. Although Sissi is a nice person, she is actually quite cold-tempered and is not easy to get close to others."
"Yeah,"
Liu Tao felt it made sense. She turned to Shu Chang, "What do you think, Shu Chang?"
