China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 880 Drinking the First Soup.

Sun Yi will be directing "Superman".

What, guidance? What kind of guidance?
It's directed by the same director who directed the American film "Superman." The next one will be directed by Sun Yi!

Holy crap!

When the news that Sun Yi was going to be the director of "Superman" reached China, the domestic media went into a frenzy of reporting.

The top ten trending topics on Weibo were immediately dominated by hashtags such as "Sun Yi takes over 'Superman'" and "Liu Yifei becomes a Hollywood goddess".

On film and television forums like Douban, thousands of new posts are added every hour.

At first, movie fans didn't quite believe it, thinking it was just unscrupulous media hype.

However, when official media outlets such as "China Film Report" (affiliated with CCTV-6) and "Today's Film Review" (affiliated with CCTV-6) officially released photos of Sun Yi signing with the CEO of Warner Bros., movie fans had no choice but to believe it.

It turned into a carnival.

"From now on, the roles of offense and defense have reversed. The enemy can go, and so can I!"

"Sun Yi is awesome!"

"I strongly suggest giving 'Edge of Tomorrow' more screenings. 50% isn't enough, 100% would be better. I won't watch any other movies anymore, they're boring!"

Fans are venting their emotions without restraint online.

Only top figures in the industry can truly appreciate the significance of this collaboration.

"Do you understand? This is not a simple movie contract. It is a profound collision between Chinese film capital and the Hollywood industrial system. Sun Yi used the $2.41 million box office data of 'Edge of Tomorrow' to open the door to Hollywood super IPs for Chinese filmmakers."

At Enlight Media, Wang Changtian looked at the photo of Sun Yi shaking hands with Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara and sighed to his production manager.

"Think back to three years ago, he had just graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, an unknown little director. Now," Wang Changtian shook his head and sighed, "he has jumped straight to top Hollywood productions."

“Mr. Wang, after I graduated from university and truly entered society, I understood one thing,” the production manager said, echoing Wang Changtian. When the latter’s gaze shifted to him, he continued, “That is, people cannot be compared.”

"I personally admire Director Sun's abilities very much, and from our company's perspective, this is a good thing, isn't it?"

"Oh?"

"They're feasting on the stars, but we can at least get a taste of the soup. We didn't back down at all in this revenue-sharing battle. For that, exchanging it for a taste of soup isn't too much to ask, is it?"

hiss~
Wang Changtian narrowed his eyes, then suddenly opened them wide. "It's not excessive, that makes sense."

"Go, notify the publicity department to have our media outlets and partner websites give 'Edge of Tomorrow' another push. We've done our part in providing timely help, and we can't miss out on this icing on the cake."

"Okay, Mr. Wang."

As "Edge of Tomorrow" enters its third week, box office data from around the world is starting to come back.

It started with Japan and South Korea, then Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, and then Europe.

With Sun Yi's previous works as a foundation, various countries gave "Edge of Tomorrow" a very high number of premiere screenings.

How tall is it?
In South Korea, the premiere had a screening rate of over 38%, in Thailand it was 36%, and in Malaysia and Singapore it was over 50%, directly dominating the already limited number of cinemas in those two countries.

Even in Taiwan, the premiere was given a 30% screening rate.

Unsurprisingly, Edge of Tomorrow topped the box office charts worldwide.

Converting the currency in different regions, the film grossed $4823 million in its opening weekend outside of China and North America.

At this rate, the film's global box office could easily surpass 10 billion US dollars!

This may be the highest-grossing film in Starry Night's history.

Yang Fan has generously announced on the company's intranet that this year's year-end bonuses will all be doubled.

Upon hearing the news, all the employees shouted, "Long live the boss!" and "Long live the boss's wife!"

However, the boss and his wife they were cheering about were actually enjoying a happy life together in a foreign land.

The heavy snow in Los Angeles came unexpectedly.

The USC campus was covered in a thick layer of snow, the spires of the Gothic buildings were tinged with silver, and the clock tower's hands were stopped at three in the afternoon, as if time had stood still. Liu Yifei, dressed in a Chanel-style coat, black boots, and a camel-colored cashmere scarf, was pushing Sun Yi behind him, pushing him along and then stepping in his footprints.

Normally, when it snows heavily, one should stay at home and experience the American-style winter hibernation.

Coffee, fireplace, fairy goddess.

How pleasant!

They insisted on going for a walk.

Having a snowball fight would be nice too!
As Sun Yi walked along passively, he was secretly plotting something in his mind, but he certainly didn't dare to show it on his face.

If I spoil my wife's mood, the loss would be huge.

How big exactly?

The answer is: It's so big, so big!
Suddenly, the pushing force behind Sun Yi disappeared, and he turned his head in confusion.

The little girl had stopped walking at some point and was looking down at her palm, her face blank as if she was studying something.

Sun Yi turned around and peeked out.

It turned out to be a glistening snowflake.

Liu Yifei's eyes widened, and she held her breath. Only after the snowflakes had completely melted in her palm did she gently raise her head. When she noticed Sun Yi's gaze, she grinned like a child, revealing a row of pink teeth.

At that moment, Sun Yi suddenly felt that going out for a walk was quite nice.

In his memory, he didn't seem to have ever done anything with Liu Yifei on a snowy day.

It seems that she didn't have many opportunities to play in the snow during her childhood.

This is a good opportunity to take her on some fun.

"What are you looking at?" Liu Yifei asked curiously, curling her hands together.

"I'm watching you grin like an idiot."

"Don't call me stupid." Liu Yifei wrinkled her slightly red nose and glared at Sun Yi.

“But…” Sun Yi pursed his lips, “You really were grinning like an idiot, you can’t expect me to lie, can you?”

"You still dare to talk!" Liu Yifei glared angrily, her breath slowly dissipating in the cold wind.

"Sisi, you look so beautiful when you're angry."

Don't give me that!

Despite saying that, Liu Yifei's lips were already starting to curl up at this moment.

"that is."

"Just what?"

"Just a little silly, haha~"

"Ouch!" Liu Yifei was really angry now. She bent down, picked up a snowball, and threw it at Sun Yi.

Sun Yi nimbly dodged to the side and immediately began to beg for mercy, "Wife, I was wrong, I was wrong."

"It's not working anymore!!"

Liu Yifei shouted and wouldn't let it go.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sun Yi turned around and ran away, with Liu Yifei chasing after him while fighting.

In the snowy USC, another young couple was seen chasing and playing around.

No one could have imagined that these two people, who were screaming and shouting and completely abandoning all moral standards, were a multi-billion dollar director and a world-renowned female star.

　I'm working overtime tonight, so I can only update one chapter for now.
