1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 389 Restarting "The Myth", the competition for the heroine!
Facing Jiang Xiaofeng's threats, Zuo Xiaoqing not only didn't feel scared, but was actually very excited. He smiled and said provocatively: "Come on, don't pity me because I am a delicate flower!"

"This is what you asked for. Let's see how I deal with you tonight!" After Jiang Xiaofeng said this, he hugged and kissed Zuo Xiaoqing.

It is worth mentioning that in Jiang Xiaofeng's heart, Zuo Xiaoqing and Xu Qing are two completely different women.

When he was with Zuo Xiaoqing, Jiang Xiaofeng always cared for her and was worried that he would hurt her if he was too rude.

When he was with Xu Qing, Jiang Xiaofeng was worried that if he wasn't good enough, he would disappoint Xu Qing and feel sorry for her.

As the saying goes, people fight for one breath, and Buddhas fight for one stick of incense.

Because he made a bet with Zuo Xiaoqing, Jiang Xiaofeng was very energetic almost throughout the whole process, holding his breath the whole time. In comparison, Zuo Xiaoqing seemed a little powerless.

At 4:3 in the morning, looking at the still lively Jiang Xiaofeng in front of him, Zuo Xiaoqing hurriedly begged for mercy: "I can't do it anymore, I'm so sleepy, let me take a break."

Jiang Xiaofeng did not add insult to injury and asked with a smile: "Then do you admit defeat?"

Zuo Xiaoqing nodded hurriedly: "Admit defeat, admit defeat, I know I was wrong."

Hearing Zuo Xiaoqing's answer, Jiang Xiaofeng said with satisfaction: "That's pretty much it. Let's see if you dare to mess with me in the future!"

Zuo Xiaoqing snuggled into Jiang Xiaofeng's arms and replied with a smile: "I don't dare, brother, I really know I was wrong, please forgive me."

Jiang Xiaofeng also accepted the offer and replied with a smile: "Okay, I'll let it go this time. It won't be the same next time."

"okay……"

After holding each other and chatting like this for a while, they both fell asleep.

The next day was the 15th day since "Ip Man" was released. It was also the day when Tom Cruise's latest Hollywood blockbuster "Mission: Impossible 3" was officially released in mainland China.

In order to further please Chinese audiences, the filmmakers of "Mission: Impossible 3" added many Chinese elements into the film, including Chinese advertising placement; the ones that most appeal to Chinese audiences are Shanghai's Lujiazui and the ancient town of Xitang in Zhejiang, which have played major roles. Exterior view.

This trick really worked, and it attracted many Chinese audiences who were eagerly waiting for it.

Another highlight of the film that is considered to have "Chinese elements" is the heroine Maggie Q. She is Maggie Q, a frequent guest in Hong Kong and Taiwan action movies at that time, and she is very familiar to mainland audiences.

Jiang Xiaofeng's impression of MaggieQ mainly comes from the fact that she once starred in the drama "Dragon Hall" with Chen Xiaochun, Xu Jinglei and others.

However, MaggieQ actually has nothing to do with Chinese elements. Her father is American and her mother is Vietnamese. She has become famous in the Hong Kong entertainment circle, and her starring role in "The Secret Agent" is very memorable.

"Mission: Impossible 3" exceeded 1000 million at the box office on the first day it was released in mainland China, with a total box office of 2544 million over the three-day weekend.

As for Jiang Xiaofeng's "Ip Man", due to the release of "Mission: Impossible 3", the three-day box office over the weekend dropped directly to 800 million yuan, and the total box office of the film also reached 8800 million yuan.

Although China Film previously expected that the box office of "Mission: Impossible 3" would exceed 2544 million, the current first-week box office of [-] million almost indicates that the goal of over [-] million is unlikely to be achieved.

If you compare the first-week box office of imported blockbusters with over 3000 million yuan last year and this year, you will find that the first-week box office of movies with over [-] million yuan must be more than [-] million.

"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", which had a total box office of more than 9000 million last year, had a box office of 3329 million in its first week. This year, the film "The Da Vinci Code", which had a box office of over 4000 million in just two weeks, had a box office of more than [-] million in its first week. [-] million.

The only film whose first-week box office did not exceed 3000 million but ended up with a box office of over [-] million was "King Kong" at the beginning of this year.

The first-week box office of "King Kong" was 2736 million, which was nearly 3 million more than the 2544 million of "Disc 200". The release schedule of "King Kong" is the best Lunar New Year schedule, and it will be released for nearly two months.The summer schedule obviously cannot be compared with the "golden" Lunar New Year schedule. If "Mission: Impossible 3" wants to make over [-] million, it can only rely on extending the schedule.

Since the box office of "Mission: Impossible 3" was not very strong, it created some breathing space for "Ip Man".

You know, "Ip Man" has already reached a box office of 3800 million in the three days after its release. Coupled with the film's continued reputation, it is a certainty that it will exceed [-] million.

After "Mission: Impossible 3" was released, although the film schedule of "Ip Man" dropped by 10 points, it still made millions at the box office every day, which can be said to be very stable.

Of course, if it weren't for rampant online piracy, the total box office of the movie "Ip Man" in the mainland might have exceeded [-] million.

However, for Jiang Xiaofeng and Century Group, if the first "Ip Man" can break [-] million, he has achieved his small goal, because his big goal is to build "Ip Man" into an IP and list the company The subsequent stock price will definitely have a great positive effect.

At the same time, the movie "Ip Man" has achieved both good reputation and box office success, which has also made major investors more confident in Jiang Xiaofeng and Century Group.

For Jiang Xiaofeng, the success of "Ip Man" also increased his confidence and decided to restart the "Myth" project that he had shelved for two years.

Before that, Jiang Xiaofeng had been afraid to invest. Now the two movies he directed are both big hits, and the company is about to go public, giving him enough confidence to try the movie "Myth".

When Fan Bingbing learned that Jiang Xiaofeng had started preparing for the movie "Myth" again, he immediately recommended himself to Jiang Xiaofeng and expressed his willingness to star in the movie.

In fact, Fan Bingbing had read the script "Myth" before. While reading the script, she was completely moved by the mythical version of the love story.

However, Fan Bingbing is also a little worried because she is not sure whether Jiang Xiaofeng will let her play the heroine in the movie "Myth".

Because in the past two years, Fan Bingbing and Jiang Xiaofeng have collaborated on the two films "Waiting Alone" and "Ip Man", and this does not include the upcoming super-large production "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven".

Therefore, Fan Bingbing is very worried that too frequent cooperation with Jiang Xiaofeng will lead to audience fatigue.

Silent night.

In a villa on the outskirts of Beijing.

Fan Bingbing snuggled into Jiang Xiaofeng's arms and asked tentatively: "Brother Feng, if you want to film "The Myth", can you let me play Princess Yushu?"

Jiang Xiaofeng replied directly without even thinking about it: "No, we have already collaborated on several dramas in a row. If we continue to collaborate, even if we don't get tired of it, the audience will get tired of it."

Fan Bingbing naturally understood this truth, but he said: "How do you know that the audience is tired of watching it? What if they all like our big screen couple?"

Jiang Xiaofeng declined with a smile: "Bingbing, who is not good at it, always says that things can only be done in three ways. We have cooperated three times in a row. We cannot wait for the audience to get tired of it before changing. We must take the initiative to change it in order to continue to bring freshness to the audience."

Seeing that Jiang Xiaofeng had made up his mind, Fan Bingbing no longer dwelled on the topic, but suddenly changed the subject: "Then if you don't ask me to play Yushu, do you want to ask Liu Qianqian to play Yushu?"

The reason why Fan Bingbing asked this was because she felt that Jiang Xiaofeng was particularly fond of Liu Qianqian and almost gave Liu Qianqian the role of a goddess in costume.

As for the movie "Myth", it happened to be in period costume. Fan Bingbing's first reaction was that Jiang Xiaofeng might cast Liu Qianqian as Yu Shu.

Jiang Xiaofeng has also thought about this problem and said frankly: "I don't know, it's not confirmed yet. I might ask a Korean actor to play the role, or I might choose a new person to play the role."
