Chapter 335: Countdown to the Return of the Poet
Contrary to the mediocre box office performance of "Twilight" in the mainland, "Twilight" is a hit at the North American box office.
Even Americans did not expect that "Twilight" would become the most dazzling and surprising dark horse in Hollywood this year.
Tim stayed up all night, the opening data of "Twilight" kept him excited all night.
Dance immediately called his Chinese boss.
"Boss, even God doesn't have your discernment."
Li Chen didn't talk nonsense to him: "Stop flattering and report the data directly."
Tim laughed loudly: "69.6 million! Nearly 70 million, nearly 70 million!”
“The boss has the foresight. “Twilight” has nothing to do with Warner and New Line.”
Tim does have reasons to be excited. Box office is profit. The higher the profit, the higher his bonus.
What's more, this is only the first one.
Warner executives were also blinded by "Twilight".
It can be known that "Twilight" is only the first part of "Twilight".
The copyrights for several subsequent adaptations are still in the hands of Chi You, so there is no way around Warner Bros.
The senior executives suddenly laughed again.
News from Hollywood quickly spread back home.
"Reprinted from the "Hollywood Daily Report", "The Twilight Saga" produced exclusively by Chi You opened with a box office of 69,673,740 US dollars, undisputedly winning the book with a result that almost broke the glasses of all Hollywood industry insiders Weekly box office champion in North America. "
"The Twilight Saga has a small opening, surpassing "The Thieves" with an opening box office of nearly 70 million US dollars, becoming the highest opening box office since the establishment of Chiyou Pictures."
“The New York Daily News calls Li Chen a Hollywood sniper from the East!”
“Li Chen appears on the cover of Time Magazine again.”
All the major portal websites are full of news about "Twilight" and Li Chen.
The opening result of more than 70 million US dollars was like a muffled thunder in the domestic entertainment circle this morning.
Everyone can't figure out how "Twilight", which had a mediocre response in China, is rampaging across North America like it was drugged.
Not to mention everyone in China, not even the entire crew of "Inception" could have imagined this.
In a conference room of Chiyou Pictures, Deng Chao and Liu Yifei arrived first.
Nolan will read the script with a group of leading actors.
Chiyou’s employees were all overjoyed, while other film company employees were shrugging their shoulders because of the financial crisis.
But Chi You's employees seemed to have taken a resurrection pill, especially when they met Liu Yifei, they were even more attentive.
Even if there are newcomers who don't know her identity, they know that this Chinese girl's identity is not simple from the way the boss Tim is serving her attentively all day long.
"Boss Boss, I ask you a very serious question, is the boss really from Earth?"
Deng Chao's call to the boss's wife made Liu Yifei blush.
"Twilight" was a hit in the past two days, and Tim followed her around like a pug every day to show his attentiveness.
Everyone in the crew looked at her either with envy or to please her.
Even the director joked with her when nothing happened.
It is said that Li Chen is not only talented but also has superb business vision.
He is also a bold gambler and won a movie with him!
As soon as the box office data came out, her girlfriend became the darling of the crew.
Even the director's tone when telling her about the scene was like a breath of fresh air.
Only three people in the crew receive this kind of treatment.
A Leon, a Gloria, a she.
The first two are because of their strength, while she is because of their relationship
"I told you, don't call me boss lady!" Liu Yifei was a little depressed.
Deng Chao observed Liu Yifei's displeasure naturally.
“For a person like Director Li, when he is her girlfriend, he must be prepared to be envied, jealous, and hated by everyone at any time.”
“You haven’t gotten used to it yet, have you? I Dare to say, as long as you say no, the women in the circle who want to warm Director Li’s bed can be ranked from Red Star Wu to Crystal Wu!”
"Even Hollywood is the same!"
Liu Yifei chuckled: "It's not as exaggerated as you said."
Deng Chao shook his head and said: "Is it an exaggeration? I don't think it is an exaggeration at all. "
"You are too obedient and don't understand the ecological environment of the entertainment industry at all."
"Don't talk about the second- and third-tier actresses at the bottom, even the top-tier actresses can't refuse. The temptation of top resources and huge wealth ”
"Everyone calls you a fairy, but don't think that others are as refined as you!"
Deng Chao said this from the bottom of his heart.
If nothing else, it’s the Crystal Palace of Hollywood.
Which actress can still walk after seeing her? Even a man like him seemed to have entered a fairy tale world when he entered the Crystal Palace a few days ago.
This period of time in Hollywood will definitely be unforgettable for him and also an eye-opener for him.
When you go out, it's either a stretched Rolls-Royce or a Lincoln. The bodyguards are all burly men in black suits and sunglasses.
Flying from the capital to Hollywood, as soon as I got off the plane, the luxurious atmosphere hit my face.
It can be seen that Liu Yifei, mother and daughter, are obviously used to it.
Wang Zhiwen could still remain calm, but Deng Chao couldn't.
Liu Yifei's emotions came and went quickly, and she smiled and said: "Why are you suddenly telling me this? In fact, I know everything you said."
"But I'm not bad either. Believe it or not, I If I want to dump Xiao Lizi, the people chasing me will line up from Chi You to the downstairs of Rongchen Pictures."
Deng Chao laughed loudly: "I believe it, of course I believe it. I will wait until you dump Director Li. Come on, tell me!”
“What are you doing?”
"Okay, I'll call Xiao Lizi first and tell him what you said."
"No, no, no, no," Deng Chao immediately became anxious.
Liu Yifei tilted her head with a teasing look on her face, and the two looked at each other and laughed.
Congratulation calls from Li Chen in China also came one after another.
Li Chen simply turned off his phone.
Hou Hongliang's call went directly to the villa.
“You are really persevering, Lao Hou.”
“Haha, I can’t help it, you are not in the company and your phone is turned off, so I have no choice but to call your home.”
"What's the matter?"
""Guandong 2" is almost finished, please report to your boss."
"I understand."
Li Chen knew that the day when "Guandong 2" was completed was when Hou Hongliang bought back his shares.
"Don't worry, there is one more thing. Wu Bin told me today that he will recruit director Kong to shoot Lan Xiaolong's "The Line of Life and Death". This time, no matter what, Donghua Noon will be included in the production. ”
Li Chen thought about it for a moment and nodded.
After hanging up the phone, Hou Hongliang looked at the people gathered in front of him and said with a smile: "I'm telling you, Li Chen is not someone who doesn't keep his word."
"Are you all relieved now?"
The backbone of Donghua Zongwu all smiled happily.
Now that Donghua is on the right track at noon, they are naturally thinking about the share buyback promised by Li Chen.
The profits from "Twilight" made many film and television companies in the industry red-eyed.
But I can only stare.
Regardless of financial resources or strength, they will definitely not be able to go to sea on their own.
This is also the reason why film and television companies such as Huayi, Pony, and Bernard are eager to go public.
There is only one day between the release of "Mei Lanfang" and the Golden Horse Awards.
For these three years, a thousand days and nights, the poet did not dare to look back.
Whenever the poet's movie is about to be released, his wife is the busiest.
In Chen Hong's own words, the director is only responsible for creation.
When the old baby entered Disneyland like a child and had a high time.
Chen Hong, who is rational and calm, has already begun to worry about the box office figures.
The premiere of "Mei Lanfang" was held at the China Film Huairou Digital Base.
The host is Baodao. Three days before the premiere of "Horse Rider", Chen Hong made a special call to Li Chen.
When I learned that both he and Liu Yifei would come to support me, I was really happy.
But while I am happy, I am also worried.
When "The Promise" was released, Li Chen said, "I still prefer "Farewell My Concubine."" At that time, no one heard what Li Chen meant.
It wasn't until "The Promise" was released that the couple and the media came to their senses.
It turns out that Li Chen had already given the answer at the premiere of "The Promise".
At the premiere of "Mei Lanfang", the media reporters at the scene will definitely not let Li Chen go.
What’s more, no one is confused after seeing the 70 million US dollars in the past few days.
The two Palme d'Or directors are both topical figures.
The other halves of the two Palme d'Or directors are also the focus.
Chen Hong was known as the most beautiful woman in mainland China back then.
Liu Yifei now has the reputation of being a fairy.
There are still three days left before the premiere, and the Lunar New Year festival will officially begin.
