China Entertainment Anchor

This is not the first time for Teacher Li Mingqi to participate in the Spring Festival Gala. She has participated once in 12, and this year is the second time.

Zhang Ruoyun and others were filled with envy when they heard that Teacher Li Mingqi participated in the Spring Festival Gala. At present, the young actors who are most enthusiastic about the Spring Festival Gala are
As long as they participate in the Spring Festival Gala, they can create a feeling of being recognized by the country, and fans can use this to show off.

"Congratulations to Teacher Li." Zhang Yang raised his glass to congratulate her. As soon as Zhang Yang took the lead, everyone raised glasses to congratulate her.

"Thank you." Li Mingqi responded with a smile and a toast.

After everyone chatted for a while, Li Mingqi asked Feng Yuanzhen: "Xiao Feng, what are you busy with recently?" Li Mingqi had also done drama before, and she was still somewhat interested in this aspect.

"The script of "Du Fu" edited by Guo is almost polished. This time I will direct and star. I am very busy.
Teacher Li, Director Zhang, if you are interested, please go and have a look when the time comes. "Feng Yuanzhen first explained, and then extended an invitation to Zhang Yang and the others.

The director Guo Feng Yuanzhen is talking about is Guo Qihong. He is the screenwriter of the enduring literary trilogy, "The Proud Son of Heaven", "Li Bai", and "Bosom Friend", and is a great master in the drama industry.

"So, I would like to congratulate Teacher Feng again." Zhang Yang raised his glass again.

Everyone raised their glasses together again and sent their blessings to Feng Yuanzhen.

There was nothing to say all night. The next day, Jiyang District, Commodity Street Resettlement Area, Dadonghai Resettlement Building, this is an old community in Hainan. It will be renovated in 22 years.

The crew of "Determination to Break Up" chose a house here as the home of the grandmother who was taken care of by Song Rui.

Most of the scenes shot here are trivial plots, and only a set of montage shots are important.

Zhang Hai was obviously monitoring Song Rui from a distance in the car, but he seemed to be present at the scene.

In addition, the song that the old lady likes to listen to needs to be changed. It turns out that the song "Fog" in the movie is a cold country.

Zhang Yang directly changed to his own song "Under the Sea", a depressing version of "Under the Sea".

Both songs are full of deep sadness and loneliness, making people feel a deep helplessness and helplessness.

Song Rui finally buried himself on the beach and used the song "Under the Sea" to suit the occasion.

These trivial plots ended after only four days of filming. On the last day of October, Liu Yifei personally sent a bouquet of flowers to teacher Li Mingqi to celebrate her completion.

In November, they will go to another important filming location of "Determination to Break Up", the police station!

Of course Hainan would not let Zhang Yang use the real police station. No one in the mainland would have the honor to do so.

Unlike Xiangjiang, Du Qifeng actually dared to take the crew to the police station to shoot without even saying hello, which shocked everyone. It was really crazy.

If we were to do this in the Mainland, everyone would count as one and go in and shell the beans!
However, the local government did not treat Zhang Yang badly. They directly granted Zhang Yang a large factory building in the high-tech industrial park in Jiyang District, allowing him to renovate it as much as he wanted.

As soon as Zhang Yang and his crew arrived here, the organizing committee that manages the park came to visit.

If they were alone, they wouldn't be able to come to the door at will, so they directly asked Teng Xun's people to bring them with them.

Yes, just this year, Tengxun also has a project settled in this park, but it is just an unknown small project.

The person in charge of Tengxun was also speechless at this moment, but when people from the organizing committee came to visit, it was hard for them to refuse. They would still have to deal with a lot in the future.

Zhang Yang spent nearly half an hour chatting with them all morning before sending them away.

The filming of the movie officially started.

Zhang Yang and Zhang Ruoyun were both wearing bulletproof suits and goggles and doing shooting training.

This scene is actually the beginning of the movie. Zhang Yang put on his costume, found a mirror at the scene, and looked sideways.

Sure enough, he is the most handsome. Now that Jiao Enjun is old and Gu Tianle is famous, who in the entire domestic entertainment circle can still compete with him in terms of appearance?
"What are you doing in Zumei?" Liu Yifei suddenly came up behind Zhang Yang, patted his shoulder and teased.

"Madam, put aside my wealth and talent, look at my appearance.
Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, righteousness and majesty, you will not be at a loss in this aspect alone. "Zhang Yang pointed at himself in the mirror and said seriously to Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei was speechless looking at Zhang Yang's narcissistic look.

"You are already thirty-four, and you are already old!" Liu Yifei said to him.

"Come. Come, come." Zhang Yang pulled Liu Yifei over, put his arm around her shoulders, and pointed at their faces in the mirror: "If I tell you now that we are the same age, no one will doubt it!"

Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Yang's appearance in the mirror and couldn't help but reach out and touch his face. Why was his skin so good? Is the facial mask worth several thousand yuan a piece of mine just in vain?

"Okay, you are the most beautiful, you are the most beautiful person in domestic entertainment." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes, not wanting to argue with Zhang Yang.

At noon, after Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei had dinner together, the assistant told him about "The Meg".

After "The Meg" earned 8 billion in eight days on National Day, the box office began to plummet.
In the second week, there were only 6000 million left on weekdays, and on weekends it only rose to 8000 million. In the third week, there was another discount, with 3000 million on weekdays and 4000 million on weekends. The last week was even more of a compromise, with only 1000 million working days left.

In the end, "The Meg" only received 31 billion at the domestic box office, not the 33 billion estimated on the Internet.

As for the United States, it was in line with expectations, taking in a box office of US$3.08 million.

The harvest in other places can only be said to be normal performance, and no one place is violent.
The largest ones are Mexico and the United Kingdom, with 3000 million U.S. dollars, and the subsequent echelons only have about 1500 million U.S. dollars.

Places other than China and the United States combined, the total is only about US$2.6 million.

"Many people expected that the box office of 'The Meg' could surpass that of 'Joker,' but the result was only US$10.28 billion," the assistant said with a bit of regret.

Liu Yifei's little assistant heard the assistant's regretful tone and thought, is this a human being? Not satisfied with a billion dollars in box office?
How many movies have there been in total in the world that grossed more than one billion US dollars at the box office? Zhang Yang alone accounted for five. Thinking of this, she looked at Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei, and the result frightened her.

Even if Zhang Yang pretends that her assistant's analysis is correct, even her sister Yifei agrees. After all, her boss will become less human.

The global box office was 10.28 billion US dollars, and the film studio's box office share was about 4.5 million US dollars. The main reason was that the domestic share was too small, only 39%, which was a drag.

Zhang Yang can only get 1.8 million U.S. dollars this time. Even if you add Liu Yifei's 2000 million U.S. dollars in salary, it's only 2 million U.S. dollars. It's not satisfying, it's really not satisfying.

"We shared more than 4 million US dollars in "Extreme Escape". We have been busy working on "The Meg" for so long, but we only made a mere million US dollars. It failed, what a failure!" Zhang Yang said very unhappy.

"It's quite a lot. Besides, if you bring so many people to make money, they will always remember how good you are." Liu Yifei pretended to comfort her.

This time Warner invested US$6000 million, and the box office split received US$1.35 million. The remaining China Film and Wanda invested US$3000 million, and received US$6700 million.

Zhang Yang turned to look at his assistant: "What do they think about the celebration party for "The Meg"?"

"Banana Entertainment and Warner both want to make it big, and Banana Entertainment has also shown its intention to provide red envelopes by itself."

"What a good thing! Let them do it. We don't have time to make the movie, but I can't miss Yifei's red envelope. Let them send it to me." Zhang Yang said boldly.

I've helped them make so much money, why don't I give them more red envelopes?

"I will reply to them right away, but the United States does not have a tradition of giving red envelopes to actors. They mostly distribute dividends to company executives." The assistant reminded Zhang Yang.

"Just mention it. I'd like to see if Warner will give it to you." Zhang Yang could use this opportunity to test Warner's attitude.

"Okay." The assistant responded immediately.

Zhang Yang thought of another thing, turned to Liu Yifei and asked: "Has the box office account of "Wolf Warrior 2" arrived?"

《战狼2》7月28号就上映了，按理9月28号，第一个月的分账就要到位。

"Here we are, more than 11 billion. After paying taxes, we got 9 million." Liu Yifei said with a smile. This was money in her hands. After she finished speaking, she waved her hand: "Let me know what movie you want to invest in. I have money. "

"Since you are so rich, give me the red envelope sent by "The Meg"!" Zhang Yang joked to Liu Yifei.

"Give it to you, give it all to you, look at how stingy you are." Liu Yifei said angrily.

While the two were chatting and laughing, it soon came to two o'clock in the afternoon and they had to start working again.

Time came to the 3rd in a blink of an eye, and today’s shooting encountered difficulties.

Zhang Yang looked at the photographers in his studio and explained to them: "From the time Yifei said Confucius' famous quote, you started using tilt-shift lenses."

After he finished speaking, he sat across the table from Liu Yifei in the interrogation room. Pointing at himself and Liu Yifei: "This is our two bodies."

Then he pointed at himself and Liu Yifei in the mirror: "What is in the mirror is our dark side, which can be regarded as our second personality."

"From the moment Yifei said the famous sayings of Confucius, the focus was on Yifei in reality and me in the mirror.

When Yifei's mobile phone started to translate, the focus became me in reality and Yifei in the mirror.
When I said "me too", the focus switched to me in the mirror and Yifei in reality.
Finally, when I asked about the emergency room and Yifei answered, all the focus was on reality and Yifei in the mirror, completely blurring me.

After she finished answering, when I spoke, I turned the focus back. "

Zhang Yang's tongue-twisting words left the actors at the scene confused, but the photographers understood a general idea.

This shot was particularly complicated to process. Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei had no problem acting in one morning, but it was very troublesome to shoot. There are too many things to coordinate, and mistakes can happen if you are not careful.

After lunch at noon, the actors sat together and chatted.

Zhang Ruoyun boasted to Zhang Yang: "Director, your handling is so awesome. No wonder you won so many awards."

Zhang Yang chuckled: "It's just based on your personal experience and I think it's awesome. This is not my first creation. I just use it when I think it's suitable."

"Has anyone else used it like this?" Jiao Junyan asked in surprise.

“Poet Chen used it this way in 93’s Farewell My Concubine.”

"What?" A group of people were a little surprised,

In the eyes of the younger generation, Poet Chen has been the target of ridicule by the public since "The Promise". They did not expect that he would use such a brilliant technique.

"His shot was good, but in order to pursue artistry, there was a flaw in it. But here, there is no flaw." Zhang Yang said with a slight complacency.

"What flaw?" Liu Yifei asked curiously. This flaw must have been discovered by Zhang Yang before they got together.

Because in her impression, Zhang Yang had not watched "Farewell My Concubine" in these years.

"Go and look at the conversation between Duan Xiaolou and Cheng Dieyi. The chairs they are sitting on.

At first they were at least half a meter apart, but when Duan Xiaolou turned around to express his goodwill to Cheng Dieyi, the distance between the two chairs was less than five centimeters. "Zhang Yang remembers this paragraph very clearly.
