Chapter 525 Lobbyist Manshen
During the May Day period, Gu Changwei's "The Favorite" was promoted in full swing across the country.
The two leading actors, Guo Fucheng and Zhang Ziyi, do not look like a couple.
Li Chen asked Yang Siwei to go to the world premiere on the 5th on his behalf.
I heard from Yang Siwei that Gu Changwei was very popular and met a lot of people.
Wuyusen, Feng Xiaogang, Jia Zhangke, Ge You, Wang Xiaoshuai, Gao Yuanyuan, Yao Chen and many other celebrities in the industry came to support the show.
Zhang Ziyi also cried several times, saying that she relied on this film to get out of the slump and was willing to give up her career for love.
It’s just ironic that Zhang Ziyi’s two love affairs look like she gave up love for her career.
Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen also played two supporting roles in "The Favorite".
It seems to be a beautiful sight in the industry that major directors support each other and play guest roles in each other's films.
The only exception is Li Chen, who has never made a cameo appearance in anyone else's drama.
Jiang Wen had this plan, but Li Chen never fell for it.
He doesn’t owe Jiang Wen any favors, nor does he owe any favors to any great director.
In addition to big directors, young directors are no exception.
Ning Hao made a cameo in Wu Ershan's "Sword Laughter" which was released last month.
Lao Mouzi's "Thirteen Hairpins" is about to be completed, and Bell has left the crew.
Kevin Chan's "Martial Arts" became the only Chinese-language film shortlisted at Cannes this year.
But compared to the finalists of "Martial Arts", the most topical topic in this year's Cannes is the "Double Ice" duel.
Who is the real "International Ice"!
Li Congcheng's popularity in Europe and America has skyrocketed with "The Invisible Guest".
Taking advantage of the situation, he was in Cannes to build momentum for his new films "Snowflakes and the Secret Fan" and "Revolution of 1911".
But Li Congcheng is a smart person, and he understands that trying to compete with Fan Congcheng on the red carpet is just out of his mind.
So I made it known early: The schedule is too full, and to take the overall situation into consideration, I will not go to the red carpet of the opening ceremony.
Since the birth of Mu Xiaoguang, Fan Zhengchen has become an international figure, both in front of the media and netizens.
The sentence "Standing in other countries, all of us would have the word "Chinese" in front of our names. We are all our own people, and there is no need for PK at all." It has a certain pattern.
After "Guan Yunchang" achieved a box office of nearly 110 million in its first week.
Zhen Zidan, Wang Shishi, Mai Zhaohui, Zhuang Wenqiang and others also specially organized the "Guan Yunchang National Box Office Towards 300 Million Event"!
I hope the box office of the movie "Guan Yunchang" can reach a new high.
But the box office started to plummet in the second week.
In addition, the imported film "Thor" is coming on May 8th.
After two weeks, the total box office was only 152 million.
Compared to the first week, the box office dropped by more than 60% in the second week.
The daily box office has dropped to about 2 million.
Generally speaking, it is normal for the box office in the second week to drop by 30% compared to the first week.
Six achievements is too exaggerated.
"The Favorite" will be released nationwide on the 10th, and "Fast and Furious 5" will be released on the 12th.
The industry predicts that the box office of "Guan Yunchang", which invested 150 million yuan, may only stop at more than 150 million yuan.
Compared with another 150 million movie "Warring States", "Guan Yunchang" is happy.
After May Day, "Warring States" was abandoned by theaters.
The total box office is 80 million yuan, and the North American box office is 68,000 US dollars.
"100,000 Murderer" has become the talisman for two "blockbuster movies".
Sina Entertainment News
“Although there was “Thor” before and “Fast and Furious 5” after, Gu Changwei’s new film “The Favorite” withstood the competition with its reputation and pre-release publicity. After two blockbuster films, the box office reached 40 million in the first week. "
"Producer Fang Xingmei CEO Qin Hong expressed on Weibo that he was very pleased with this achievement and also revealed that it will maintain a long-term screening. "
May has become the world of imported blockbusters. "Guan Er Ge" has been unable to succeed, and the daily box office has dropped to double digits.
"The Favorite" is limited by its subject matter and cannot compete with "Thor" and "Fast and Furious 5".
Thor, which has a mediocre reputation, has attracted a large number of audiences with its special effects and has already earned 80 million at the box office nationwide.
"Fast and Furious 5", released last Thursday, is even more aggressive, easily earning nearly 60 million at the box office in its first weekend.
This was unexpected by Han Sanping.
China Film and Shanghai Film are the mainland distributors of "Guan Yunchang".
No matter how crazy Zhenzidan is, he would not dare to bombard China Film and Shanghai Film and Television, which are helmed by Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun, like they bombarded Kuangguang, the publisher of "Fist of Fury".
“The Warring States Period and Guan Yunchang are so exciting!” Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun complained.
"Hahaha, Sanping, you haven't seen it until now. Apart from Li Chen and Feng Xiaogang, the three places on the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are sure to win."
"No one is safe!" Ren Zhonglun had already said I understand the current situation.
“It is true that a new generation has replaced the old ones, and the era of old people such as Wu Yusen, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige is gone forever.”
Li Chen, who was accompanying his wife who was expecting childbirth, also paid attention to the domestic box office.
Had I known this, it would be better to put "Under the Jingjue Ancient City" on May Day.
Who could have guessed that these two dramas would be so unpopular.
Although Li Chen knew that both movies were bad movies, he couldn't remember exactly whether the box office survived the May Day holiday.
Although Ms. Liu did not go to Cannes, she paid close attention to it.
"Bingbingli and bingbingfan" have become hot words on the Cannes red carpet.
Ms. Liu giggled when she saw this: "Do you think they know who the fans are calling?"
Although Li Congcheng didn't want to compete with Fan Congcheng on the same stage.
But what a coincidence, I was on the red carpet at the premiere of the main competition film "The Artist".
Fan Congcheng, who came to support "The Artist", "accidentally" met Li Congcheng by chance.
Fan was dressed in a long Versace purple gradient feather dress and was praised by the Chinese media present as "Purple Energy Coming from the East".
Li Congcheng wore a white spinning evening dress.
The upper body is carved with white fish scale sequins to look like swan feathers. The sequins extend to the waist, and translucent spinning yarn pours down from the waist, swaying on the floor.
It was like a wonderful Swan Lake staged on the red carpet.
Both of them have many fans in France. Fan is a frequent visitor to fashion weeks, and Li's "The Invisible Guest" has just been released in France.
Last year's "Detective Detective" also achieved good results in France.
The fans shouted one after another, and both of them were probably confused.
From Li Chen's perspective as a man, Fan Congcheng has thick shoulders and big breasts, and is even more "fierce" and powerful.
Ms. Liu is concerned about whether the two people can tell the difference between fans.
Li Chen paid attention to their clothes.
Li Chen took a deep look at Miss Liu.
My wife smiles with childlike innocence.
Why can’t you improve your clothes?
Look at these two people, if I hadn’t been there to guard them.
I’m afraid Ms. Liu’s red carpet show is still as miserable as in her previous life.
Li Chen sighed in his heart: "Forget it, as long as she is by her side in this life, she will be responsible for being as beautiful as a flower."
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Miss Liu said nothing when her husband saw her. , turned around and saw her husband looking at her, seemingly in a trance.
Li Chen smiled and answered the question: "You said that Fan Congcheng deliberately met Li Congtong by chance? Or was it unintentional as she said?"
Miss Liu leaned in Li Chen's arms. He smiled and said: "It must be intentional, right?"
Li Chen nodded: "You can teach me, these two people once loved each other as sisters. Fan Congyi knew Wang Jinghao or it was Li Congcheng who led them."
< br>
"What do you want to say?" Miss Liu asked curiously.
"You, Mimi and Tangtang are now sisters. Will you be like Shuangtiao in the future, with face and heart at odds, or even becoming strangers?" Li Chen raised a very realistic question. question.
Yang Mi’s fans are growing rapidly now, especially after a bathtub advertisement a few days ago.
The concave and convex body is all hidden in the foam, and the face has been completely reborn after "teeth extraction". It is no longer the tender Niu Wufang it once was. And in the Magnolia nomination list announced a few days ago.
Yang Mi was successfully nominated for Magnolia due to the popularity of "Palace".
Let the "bees" feel like they are on stimulants.
Although Yang Mi has expressed her position in advance.
I said on Weibo that I was very happy to be nominated, but I didn’t dare to expect to win an award.
But the "bees" don't think so.
Whether it is Zhao Paner, Tie Lihua or Du Lala and Zheng Jiumei, in the eyes of Bees, they are not as good as Qin Chuan played by Yang Mi.
Liu Yifei has actually thought about Li Chen's question.
They are all first-line actresses with huge fan bases, especially Yang Mi’s fans who are extremely aggressive.
I thought that Yang Mi was the most profitable artist under her husband's banner, so she didn't need to care.
But his fans couldn't bear it.
This time Magnolia is the second time Yang Mi’s fans have pulled her.
Some of the words even sounded ugly.
Miss Liu squeezed in Li Chen's arms and hugged her tighter.
“Didn’t you tell me that except for me, other people have nothing to do with you.”
“Then I will reply to you today, except for you, other people have nothing to do with me. What? ”
Vanity Fair in the entertainment industry, she entered this industry when she was fourteen years old.
Liu Xiaoli told her: It’s okay if you want to enter the entertainment industry, or if you like acting, but don’t give away your true feelings easily. This is true for love, and so is friendship.
Over the years, Li Chen has successfully entered her heart.
I am afraid that only Shu Chang, a child from Tianshan who has no conflict of interest, is considered a friend and best friend that both she and her mother recognize.
When everyone learned about her close relationship with Li Chen, it no longer mattered whether she was a best friend or a friend.
She can tell the difference.
Li Chen laughed loudly, but he didn't expect that Miss Liu was no worse than him when it came to talking about love.
Li Chen lowered his head and pinched his wife's chin, and couldn't help but kiss the shy Miss Liu.
After a long time, feeling that Ms. Liu was short of breath, Li Chen reluctantly let his wife go.
“That’s good if you think so.”
Taking advantage of this period, Li Chen's small move attracted the attention of the industry.

"Recently, an adventure fighting boy comic "Kowloon Walled City" was bought by Rongchen Pictures for the film adaptation rights."
"Let The name of the unknown comic "Kowloon Walled City" has become a hot search topic. "
Rongchen Pictures bought a comic from Hong Kong Island and it was natural that it could not be hidden from people. "Kowloon Walled City" immediately attracted attention. Come pay more attention.
Especially action stars.
Among them are Wang Baoqiang and Zhen Zidan.
Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo came together to visit Liu Yifei.
When "Running Man" approached him two years ago when the project was first set up, Director Li promised that he would be given a special role in the future, and it would be an action film.
He came today, naturally, for Chen Luojun, the God of War in this comic.
As a result, Director Li preferred him to play Wang Jiu!
Of course he did his homework before coming here, that madman Wang Jiu
"Director Li, you are not kidding me, are you?" Wang Baoqiang's smile was uglier than his tears.
"Haha, Bao Qiang, the role of Wang Jiu must be yours."
"This role is a bit evil, and it's brilliant, even the protagonist Chen Luojun can't suppress it. Your light!”
"In a movie, it's often easier for the villain to get out of the circle!" Li Chen patted Wang Baoqiang on the shoulder.
Wang Baoqiang himself has a Shaolin background, and his smile can be both honest and sinister.
When Li Chen thought of this drama, the first thing that came to mind for the character Wang Jiu was Wang Baoqiang.
Hearing what Director Li said, although Wang Baoqiang hesitated in his heart, he still chose to believe Director Li.
The box office of "Guan Yunchang" finally barely exceeded 160 million and ended sadly.
However, the film crew took the initiative and said that they would invite directors Mak Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang to bring "Cao Cao" to the screen again, and would also invite Jiang Wen to play the heroic hero for the second time.
Mako Danfei is almost furious!
The film crew actually wants to film "Cao Cao"! So what is "Guan Yunchang"? The trailer for "Cao Cao"?
The movie "Guan Yunchang" made Jiang Wen a wedding dress.
His real child pill became a joke.
"Fist of Fury" and "Guan Yunchang" hit the market, which greatly reduced the commercial value and remuneration of Zhenzidan.
The management is better than the other. If you can't resist the box office, what's the use of being able to fight again.
Zhen Zidan originally expected these two blockbusters to help him open up the mainland market.
Became the highest-paid action star behind Cheng Long and Jet Li.
As a result, he took too big a step and pulled his balls. Originally, he was evenly matched with Zhang Jin.
But now it seems to be overwhelmed by "Ip Man".
My own salary has dropped below 3 million.
"Zidan, we can't afford to lose to "Martial Arts" again!" Again and again, if "Martial Arts" hits the streets again.
It is estimated that none of these big directors in Hong Kong will look for Makoto again.
"Stop talking! I know!" Zhenzidan said impatiently.
Of course he is aware of the current situation. He is in urgent need of a film with guaranteed box office and reputation to prove himself.
After several rounds, it seems that only Rongchen Pictures can guarantee word-of-mouth and box office.
But he couldn't understand why Director Li didn't think of him.
Is it because of your nationality?
Rong Chen Pictures certainly doesn’t want to miss out on the movie “Kowloon Walled City”.
If he could play the leading role in it, he would be willing to pay less.
Just how to get on the Rongchen Pictures boat.
It seems that only Liu Dehua, Zhang Manyu and Director Li have a close relationship.
I have a good relationship with Zhang Manyu, but I don’t know if she is willing to help set up a connection.
The next day, Rongchen Pictures released a five-minute highlight of "The Great Ancient City".
Wu Bin led Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Yuqi, Jiang Chao and others to start roadshows across the country.
In just five minutes, special effects such as densely packed fiery desert army ants, colorful ancient overlord salamanders, magical and gorgeous fire ladybugs amazed netizens and fans of the original work.
On Weibo, the entry “Shocking Special Effects of "Jingjue Ancient City"" became a hot search topic.
Fans of the original work strongly demand that "The Legend of the Ancient City" be released in advance.
On Li Chen's Weibo, netizens and fans are asking when "Longling Labyrinth" will be launched! Whether or not the Audio-Technica will make substitutions is a question that everyone is concerned about.
In fact, not only netizens and fans of the original work, but also Audio-Technica himself are also very concerned about whether he can star in "The Mysterious Cave of Longling"!
The copyright of the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series has made various production companies in the industry jealous.
Just looking at the popularity of "The Legend of the Ancient City", I'm afraid the box office will definitely not be lower than the previous one.
Maybe it will be another 500 million blockbuster movie.
The companies of Bona, Huayi, Pony and the Hong Kong Sunglasses King successively contacted Rongchen Pictures, hoping to purchase the copyright of any part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
Especially the King of Sunglasses. He valued "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" at the beginning, but he was still a step slow to start.
This time the Sunglasses King actually persuaded Zhang Manyu to become a lobbyist.
Zhang Manyu also did not expect that Sunglasses King and Zhen Zidan would contact him one after another, hoping that he could connect them.
