Chapter 631 Xiang Zuo: My Father Xiang
"Jing Long, Fan Binbin and Johnny are caught in a love triangle in "Skiptrace""

"Legend of the Gods", ten years later, Fan Bingbing plays "Da Ji" again, with a beautiful and charming look, but also a cruel and ruthless heart."

As the summer vacation season begins, promotions for the remaining blockbusters are following closely behind.

Among them, Fan Binbin's popularity has remained high in recent days. On the one hand, in terms of publicity and promotion, Fan Binbin, as the queen of topics, can indeed attract traffic to the movie.

Secondly, Fan Binbin is really good at finding topics for himself.

Recently, after the broadcast of "Yes! Mr. Shang", starring Ouyang Nana, many netizens criticized her poor acting skills.

Ouyang Nana was even exposed for liking a Weibo post that criticized Fan Binbin: How did Fan Bingbing become a first-line actress when her acting is so bad?

However, Ouyang Nana later cancelled the like button, presumably because of a slip of the hand.

As a result, Fan Binbin comforted Ouyang Nana through Weibo, saying: "Nana, everyone gets hacked sometimes, it's no big deal! We can film together and have fun together if we have the chance."

This psychedelic operation attracted many netizens to watch. Some netizens joked:
"Is this the Weibo post that Ouyang Nana sent using your phone?"

“I don’t quite understand this style of painting.”

As a result, just two days after the news was over, Huo Jianhua and Ruby Lin's "Huo Xin Lian" will be getting married at the end of the month. Fan Binbin revealed that he has begun to serve as Ruby Lin's strategist, helping her prepare for choosing wedding dresses and other wedding-related matters.

Qiong Yao's TV series "My Fair Princess" 18 years ago created a classic TV series. For this reason, netizens are looking forward to the reunion of the actors of "My Fair Princess" through this wedding.

But people in the industry are more or less aware that, not to mention others, Fan Binbin’s relationship with other people in Return of the Condor Heroes is definitely not good.

Moreover, those two are the protagonists in "My Fair Princess", while Fan Binbin is a maid.

“This team is really good at publicity.”

At this time, Zhu Yawen sighed, one set after another, it has simply flooded the screen recently.

He is worthy of being the strongest publicity player in the entire circle, and his publicity never follows the usual path, using all kinds of weird points to attract attention.

"Who says it isn't?"

Shu Chang nodded. She came here for a free meal today. "Is your audition difficult? Did you pass it just like that?"

"Hi, Brother Mu said hello, and I didn't perform badly, so Director Liu and Producer Huang decided on a clip and tried it out, and then it was confirmed."

After Zhu Yawen finished speaking, he thanked Li Mu repeatedly, saying that it was he who treated him to the meal.

"Alright, alright, just act well. Although the pay is symbolic and the box office of the movie may not be very high, the meaning is very important."

Li Mu didn't care too much about it. The original version was played by Zhu Yawen, and he couldn't miss this opportunity.

Anyway, it's just a matter of words for him.

Time quickly came to late July, and Li Mu was relatively relaxed recently.

The post-production of "Operation Red Sea" is basically coming to an end, and Guo Fan's "Arrival" has also been sent to Venice, waiting for the official announcement of the final shortlist.

As for Huang Bo's "A Good Show", it has been registered with the Radio and Television Bureau.

This news made everyone in the industry excited, because it has been proven that it is possible for actors to be directors, and the box office is really good.

Li Mu immediately received several calls, but he declined them all.

Just at this moment, big news broke out in the industry.

AMC Cinemas, a subsidiary of Wanda Group, announced that it would acquire Europe's largest cinema chain, Odeon & UCI Cinemas, for 9.21 million pounds.

Wanda is still on a shopping spree.

When this news came out, the industry was shocked.

Because in 2012, Wanda acquired AMC, the second largest cinema group in the United States, for US$31 billion.

In just a few years, Wanda Cinema Line has expanded to such a large scale.

"Wanda controls the terminal channels and may become the only non-US company with the ability to distribute movies globally in the future!"

“It won’t become the first domestic film production company to rival the six major Hollywood studios!”

"Awesome, you deserve to be the richest man." Netizens were excited. The situation is very good now. With all this buying, doesn't it mean that he is going to acquire all the cinema chains around the world? So that Chinese films can go global in the future?

"Compared to Wanda, Director Li, we are much poorer."

Wang Changtian said with a smile on the phone.

Compared with netizens, Wang Changtian knows better that global distribution of Hollywood's six major films is not that simple.

"Wanda is attacking from a lower dimension! How big is the real estate market? How big is the film and television industry? How can we defeat them?"

Li Mu smiled faintly and didn't care too much about Wanda's behavior.

At this time, Wang Jianlin's crazy shopping overseas has actually reached his bottom line.

“I remember Wang Jianlin mentioned three years ago that Wanda would have a 2020% share of the global movie box office by 20. At this rate, it may be achievable.”

Wang Changtian sighed, saying that he was somewhat envious of Wanda's strength. For a company with a market value of only a few billion, such an operation was unimaginable.

"By the way, Director Li, where are the lighting options for Huang Bo's "A Good Show"?"

"Forget it this time!" Li Mu shook his head and said, "Let Maoyan Films co-produce this time. Huang Bo and a few others have also invested a little bit, but we don't have much left."

Wang Changtian nodded, but did not delve further into the topic. Moreover, letting Maoyan co-produce the film was beneficial to Maoyan as he was also a shareholder.

"Will Director Li attend the premiere of 'Legend of the Gods' in two days?"

Wang Changtian talked about the most popular movie at the moment. It can be said that as long as you go online to check the entertainment news, you can almost always see the promotion of this movie.

"I heard that Fatty Yu hasn't watched the entire movie yet, and has only seen clips. This movie is kept quite secret. There hasn't even been a press screening yet. It seems like they plan to keep it secret until the premiere."

When Li Mu heard what Wang Changtian said, he couldn't help but laugh secretly. Yu Dong was really too confident this time. He snatched the movie from Huayi as a backup and didn't even watch the complete movie.

I guess Xiang Qiang has plotted against Yu Dong.

"I won't join in the fun!" Li Mu said calmly, "Let's enjoy it in the cinema later."

Wang Changtian did not suspect anything and immediately said a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Jackie Chan's "Skiptrace" was released on Thursday and grossed 4 million yuan in the first four days. With a 35% share of screenings, it accounted for nearly 60% of the box office that week.

At present, it seems certain that the number will break 1 billion, but it is hard to say.

Compared with last year, this year's summer season can be said to have ushered in the Cambrian period.

截止7月24日，7月的月票房为36.59亿，与去年7月的55.06亿的距离，已不是剩下的这一周可以赶超的。

In terms of single film performance, this month's leader "Cold War 2" has a total box office of just over 6 million yuan, and its current daily revenue is less than 1000 million yuan, and its decline is already evident.

"Big Fish and Begonia" even stopped at just under 6 million, and is estimated to end up around 5.7 million.

On the other hand, the 5 million blockbuster "Legend of the Gods" which will be released at the end of the month invited the Kung Fu Emperor Li Lianjie, who disappeared for two years after his guest appearance in "The Expendables 2014" in 3, to promote it.

With the press conference approaching, the film crew and the leading actors have also begun extensive publicity work, from BJ to Shanghai, from the mainland to Hong Kong.

The speeches were so extravagant, with loud gongs and drums and firecrackers.

But the direction of publicity and promotion is very fixed, that is Xiang Zuo.

The actors attending the event changed one after another, but Xiang Zuo was the unshakable center of attention. Not only Xiang Huaqiang and his wife supported their son.

When his master Li Lianjie appeared on the stage, he said, "This "Legend of the Gods" is like Huang Feihong", and he wanted to pass the position of "Kung Fu Emperor" to Xiang Zuo on the spot.

Moreover, Li Lianjie was the person who participated in the most publicity and promotion activities. From the press conference in the imperial capital to the Shanghai Film Festival, he traveled all over the country with the crew. He did not miss any absence and also participated in TV interviews.

Anyone who sees this would have to give a thumbs up for his professionalism. If you don’t know, you would think Li Lianjie is the male lead.

And just like that, the premiere of "Legend of the Gods" came amid everyone's anticipation.

The scene was extremely luxurious, gathering together big names and high-traffic celebrities from across the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.
