China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 927: The New Year's Eve Movie, The Immortals

How many times can a person meet a noble person in his life?
There may only be a few opportunities to achieve class transition.

Xie Miao, who once missed an opportunity, has been taught a lesson by reality.

Now that he has met a noble person to help him, he regards this as his only chance in his life.

Since the movie premiere at the beginning of the month until the day of the release, Xie Miao ran the entire roadshow.

Sometimes people feel tired when traveling, and promoting a movie on the road is much more tiring than traveling.

The rhythm of visiting one city a day is that the fatigue from traveling is secondary. It is also important to interact with fans throughout the process and provide emotional value.

The eldest brother among the main creative team, Fatty Hong, is old and is the first to give up.

I only went to Beijing and Shanghai and went there directly.

Principal Gu is a popular star and had other schedules to attend to, so he turned back to Hong Kong at Pengcheng Station and rested for a few days.

The remaining members of the F4 of The Walled City were very competitive and each ran half the race.

After spending several months together on the crew, we became comrades-in-arms who had carried guns together and had experienced roadshows together, which further strengthened our relationship.

Of course the main reason is that Xie Miao is still from Jiangdong.

With the support of the Grand Commander, even a fool would know that he has a bright future.

In the past, there was a saying in the circle that Hong Kong stars were arrogant and looked down on others.

This situation will never happen in Jiangdong's project.

Anyone who dares to put on airs in front of the Grand Commander of Jiangdong will have only one outcome - get out and never have the chance to sit at the table again.

In this way, the tiring yet fulfilling days passed quickly.

After the roadshow in Chengdu ended, after midnight, several young people from the main creative roadshow team gathered together for a midnight snack.

At 12:30 in the morning, a drizzle began to fall in Chengdu.

But the atmosphere in the hot pot restaurant is extremely warm.

"Oh my god, the box office is out, it ranks second!"

Suddenly, someone from the crew shouted, and everyone put down their chopsticks and looked down at their phones.

The cat's eye icon on the screen continued to refresh, and the halo made everyone's noses shine. Xie Miao's eyes also lit up.

"1.07 million on the first day! Only million less than Justice League!"

The seven or eight heads surrounding the shabu-shabu pot all gaped in surprise. Andy On scratched his head: "Including the preview, how much is the box office now?"

"Return to zero, return to zero."

Since Da Congming had already turned on the computer, Xie Miao spoke first without thinking: "The total revenue from the preview screenings is 1.74 million, and the total box office now is 2.81 million!"

No one paid more attention to the first-day box office of "Kowloon Walled City" than Xie Miao.

These days, he can't sleep unless he reads the box office information a hundred or eighty times a day.

"It's only the first day of the release. At this rate, there's no chance of it hitting a billion box office, right?"

"It's possible. According to Maoyan's dynamic forecast, the estimated box office potential has been adjusted to 11.34 billion!"

"Hold the grass, awesome!"

"Come on, cheers!"

There was a burst of ghostly howling, and the young man was very angry and just drank the beer.

When the dust settled on the first day box office of "Kowloon Walled City", everyone finally settled down.

The total box office of 2.81 million yuan includes the box office revenue from screenings in more than ten days, and it is not achieved overnight.

A single-day achievement of over 2 million is not that impressive considering that today there are many blockbuster movies that easily gross million in a single day.

But considering that the movie's cast is not luxurious and there is no superstar leading the team, it is unlikely to make it to the league's top eight.

Such a transcript is undoubtedly qualified.

Xie Miao's wife had to stay at home to take care of the children and did not attend the roadshow.

After telling her husband not to drink too much, she also kept an eye on the outside world's comments.
"The Grand Commander has a keen eye! The outdated child star Xie Miao makes a comeback and makes a splash!"

"Rated by Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung: Xie Miao's fighting skills are sharp and powerful. Following Li Lianjie and Wu Jing, he is another rising Kung Fu star in the mainland!"

"."

While browsing the comments of netizens, Xie Miao’s wife He Yanni liked all the comments praising her husband.

I felt indescribable joy in my heart.

She has also been in this circle and knows very well what this means.

Become famous today.

Of course, He Yanni was more grateful to Liu Shishi and Zhou Yutang.

As mentioned earlier, He Yanni played the Saint Lady in "Chinese Paladin III" and also starred in Tang Renjia's "Wandering Girl".

He had contact information with Liu Shishi, Tang Yan, and Hu Ge, but later he got married and had children, gradually faded out of the entertainment circle, and no longer had any contact with them.

Who would have thought that after all the difficulties, Xie Miao was actually valued by the Grand Commander.

He Yanni also had the opportunity to get in touch with the number one sister.

Men work hard for their careers outside, while women are considerate and make contributions to their families behind the scenes.

Everyone knows that Zhou Yutang is particularly fond of Liu Shishi, so there is nothing wrong with He Yanni taking the harem route.

Liu Shishi was with Zhou Yutang and would occasionally mention it.

After having supper and returning to the hotel, Xie Miao washed up and felt like he was in the clouds. He read the news reports again and felt mixed emotions.

For an actor, the greatest happiness is to be recognized by the audience.

He never thought that this day would come.

When I was video chatting with my wife, I couldn't help but giggle: "Honey, am I famous?"

"The first day's box office has just come out, don't get carried away, be nice to the audience."

"As you command, my dear wife."

Xie Miao knew that his wife was taking care of his interpersonal relationships behind his back, so he grinned and said, "I'm just happy. I want to share it with you."

He Yanni sent a thank you message to Sister Yi, and then said, "Seriously, you have to thank President Zhou."

"Well, I will."

Xie Miao nodded solemnly.

If it weren’t for the appointment by the Grand Commander of Jiangdong.

He probably doesn't even know where to start playing supporting roles, so there's no way he'll ever be able to make a name for himself.

Compared to Xie Miao who became famous in one battle, Warner Bros., which released its film on the same day, was in a miserable situation.

If Kowloon Walled City fired the first shot for the New Year celebrations, it also made Xie Miao famous.

Then Warner's "Justice League", which grossed 1.75 million yuan in a single day, was a bit disappointing at the box office.

The premieres were also held in many places, but it did not have the overwhelming momentum of "Joker", and it could not be called a big hit in any way.

I guess Warner executives are also a little confused.

Some time ago, various media outlets were promoting the rise of DC superheroes, and Marvel was just a sideshow?
This is the result. I almost failed to finish Thor 3!
At this time, "Thor 3" had been released for two weeks, and the total box office in China soared to 6.89 million, ranking first on the list of imported blockbusters in November.

The next day, "Kowloon Walled City" earned another 1.25 million yuan.

On the third day, 1.02 million.

The box office for the first weekend closed at 3.34 million yuan, slightly lower than the 3.43 million yuan of "Justice League".

However, with the benefit of previews, the cumulative total box office has already passed the 2.98 million threshold, half a step ahead of "Justice League". The latter was in a close fight with "Kowloon Walled City" in the Chinese region. As of today, the global box office has totaled million US dollars, which is shocking.

"Where's the promise of being invincible?"

"What happened to the promise to sweep away everything with overwhelming force?!"

The mentality of Warner's senior executives was a little broken, and at least a dozen seminars were held in three days.

While assigning the blame, a conclusion was reached: it turned out that it was not DC that had risen, but that Governor Zhou was simply too strong!
With the power of one person, he has taken DC superhero movies to a place where they shouldn't be.
"One second it's a dark epic, the next it's a Marvel joke, I don't understand what the top executives at Warner Bros. are thinking."

"I burst out laughing when Superman was resurrected. So all the previous efforts were in vain, right?"

"Is there a villain boss that's more hilarious than Steppenwolf? And his appearance is so ugly that he looks like a boss in a web game!"

"It's not as good as Batman V. At least that one has a cool and pretentious style..."

"I'm so disappointed. What's going on with this feeling of patchwork?"

"It's all the Grand Admiral's fault. The tone of Joker was so high that I thought it was another classic. But this is it?"

The whole movie is not only flat and mediocre, but also has no highlights. It is the kind of movie that made Marvel fans silent and DC fans cry.

Zhou Yutang stayed on the set filming and did not go to the cinema.

But just by reading the comments online, I couldn't help but mourn for Warner for three seconds in my heart.

The cost is 3 million US dollars. With the current box office, it is almost impossible for Warner to recover the cost just by box office without considering the subsequent channels.

"Directed by Section Chief Jia, and starring Liao Fan and Zhao Tao, the film "Ash Is Purest White" has recently started shooting in Datong, Shanxi. Feng Xiaogang and Xu Zheng will join the cast!"

"Directed by Cao Baoping, starring Fan Binbin, Li Xin, Xin Zhilei, Chen Xiao, and written by Wu Pipi, the realistic crime film "She Killed" has started shooting in Beijing today, and the crew will conduct closed-door filming!"

"The black comedy film "Nobody", produced by Liu Shishi, supervised by Guo Fan, directed by Rao Xiaozhi, and starring Zhang Songwen, Zhang Yu, Ren Suxi, Pan Binlong, and Yang Chaoyue, was recently completed!"

"It is reported that the film is expected to meet the audience next summer!"

The crew has reached the final stage of filming, and Chief Jia really does what he says. After leading the first Pingyao Film Festival, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and got to work.

He even invited Xiao Gangpao and Xu Guangtou to make guest appearances, which made for quite a splash.

However, compared with Cao Baoping's side, it seems a little pale in comparison.

Cao Baoping is currently the number one in the crime suspense track, standing tall above the rest.

With three Pisces girls dancing on the same stage, Chen Xiao is also one of the most popular young actors at the moment.

On the other hand, "The Unknown" is also very interesting. Director Rao Xiaozhi, Zhang Yu and Pan Binlong are all newcomers.

But the producer Liu Shishi, the supervisor Guo Fan, and the leading actor Zhang Songwen are all big names, and the little koi is also the most popular of the 95 flowers.

A few days ago, a Reuters still of a female police officer playing a guest role was leaked, attracting countless attention.

"Director Cao works too hard."

Gold medal producer Chen Xi had just attended the wrap party for "Nobody" and now went to Cao Baoping's crew to report his work to Zhou Yutang in a timely manner: "We have to finish shooting the Beijing part this month. The scenes in Neon Tokyo and Las Vegas will not exceed 40 days. The entire film is expected to take no more than two and a half months to shoot."

"And then take into account the later period."

Zhou Yutang thought about it for a moment and shook his head: "I'm afraid we won't be able to make it to Berlin. We can consider Cannes and Venice."

"Director Cao also meant this."

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Give priority to Venice."

It is common sense in the film industry that if a film is completed before December, it will be submitted to the Berlin Film Festival, where the awards are generally given in February.

If it is completed in February or March, then it can be sent to the Cannes Film Festival. If it is completed in May or June, it can be sent to Locarno, Venice and Toronto.

"Is the schedule available?"

"It's all arranged."

Chen Xi said, "Xin Zhilei will come over in the next two days to make up for the few scenes in the snow first, and then join the crew later."

After a pause, Chen Xi asked again: "Boss, I wish Shishi to win the Golden Horse Award in advance."

"Haha, I hope I can borrow your good words then."

******
There were some negative voices in the industry previously regarding "Kowloon Walled City".

After the first weekend box office results came out, the outcome was decided and there was immediate silence.

The media are unanimously optimistic about the box office, and after this period of preview screenings, the film's reputation has begun to ferment online.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a hearty fight scene. So cool!"

"It's a bit surprising that Xie Miao's fighting scenes are so neat. The Grand Commander has praised him again."

"To be honest, this is a bit ridiculous. It's not scientific at all."

"The one above, this is a comic book movie. You might as well go watch Approaches to Science."

"The storyline is a little thin, but the fighting scenes are great, definitely worth the money. Am I the only one who thinks Richie Jen is too much of a supporting actor kkk."

"To be honest, F4 in the City is pretty cool."

There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people.

Among the mostly positive reviews, there are also a few negative ones.

"The Walled City F4?"

Zhou Yutang saw a picture photoshopped by a netizen and couldn't help but laugh.

These audiences are really a bit weird.

The F4 of the City of Justice refers to Chan Lok Kwan, Xin Yi, Twelve Young Masters and Four Young Masters, all of whom are main characters in the movie.

That is, Xie Miao, Andy On, Lin Feng, and Chen Weiting.

Half is responsible for being handsome, and half is responsible for fighting.

As the leading actor, Xie Miao's status will undoubtedly rise.

Andy On also became a little famous. He was wearing a motorcycle leather jacket, looking cool and handsome, with a butterfly knife, and was as fast as lightning. In one word, he was cool.

Lin Feng and William Chan didn't have many roles, but they also became popular.

Male audiences are naturally moved by the brotherhood in the movie where they are willing to sacrifice their lives for each other.

However, there are still quite a few evil rotten girls who are into male-male CPs
It fully verifies how many permutations and combinations there are of four people.

"These gay dramas with two men on top of each other are very popular nowadays."

Zhou Yutang found it hard to understand this, but Chen Duling did have an explanation: "The Golden Fish became popular because of this. Even Tencent is preparing a gay drama project and has sent us a proposal for cooperation."

“I will not participate in this kind of project.”

Zhou Yutang shook his head and refused righteously without leaving any room for negotiation.

Men are such strange creatures.

Seeing lesbian lace gives me a strange sense of excitement, but seeing a man on top of another man just makes me feel disgusted.

As the working days began, the box office of "Kowloon Walled City" dropped to 50 million, gradually widening the gap with "Justice League".

Film and television companies of all sizes in the industry watched with envy as movie box office continued to soar.

Huo Wenxi, who had successfully killed two birds with one stone, was much more excited than Zhou Yutang.

Just like when Da Mimi plays games, she still needs someone to lead her!
And Zhou Yutang is the invincible super thigh certified by Huo Wenxi.

The gods have access to the sky, and past battle records can be checked!

This year, the movie "Chasing the Dragon" completed its KPI, and then "Kowloon Walled City" has already recovered all the production costs through the current box office alone, and even made a small profit.

Judging from the current reputation of the movie, the subsequent box office is definitely worth looking forward to.

This is just Xiao Wang.

But she still has a king in her hand that she hasn't played yet.
