Chapter 221 No. in box office in Mainland China
  They knew very well that Wang Shu didn't like drinking coffee, and it was hard to refuse, so in the end he forced himself to drink it.

Then, because Wang Shu drank the coffee, everyone thought that Wang Shu did not resist coffee, so more people brought coffee to Wang Shu.

Wang Shu was tortured so much.

"That's what happened." Mei Ting answered with a smile.

"What does it look like specifically? Can you tell me?" the host then asked to get to the bottom of it.
  When Zhou Xun and Mei Ting heard this, they looked at each other again, and then said in deep thought: "Uh, how should I say it?"

"Director Wang was already a great director who won an award at Cannes when he was filming "The Legend of Zhen Huan". We wanted to leave a good impression in front of Director Wang, so we brought him coffee."

"Then everyone saw that Director Wang was in a good mood after drinking coffee, so they all brought coffee to Director Wang."

"Finally, I found out that Director Wang actually doesn't like drinking coffee, and we were immediately dumbfounded."

When filming "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Mei Ting was not the first person to bring coffee to Wang Shu. At this time, she joined in with herself and Zhou Xun.

After hearing this, Zhou Xun nodded and said, "Yes, that was the case at that time."

There were only two of them in this interview, and only they could answer the questions asked by the host.

"So. Director Wang doesn't like to drink coffee, but he drank a lot of it because of your 'kindness' on the set of "The Legend of Zhen Huan"?" The host heard this and asked with amusement. When he mentioned the word "kindness" Sometimes, emphasis is placed on pronunciation.

Zhou Xun said with a smile: "Actually, it's not that Director Wang doesn't like drinking coffee."

Seeing that the host seemed to take a breath, she smiled and said again, "He doesn't drink coffee at all."

"Huh?" The host was instantly surprised when he heard this.

Mei Ting added more exciting information at the right time, "Director Wang thinks coffee hurts his stomach, so he doesn't drink it."

"Then on the set, it was difficult to refuse our kindness, so we kept on drinking."

"It took us a long time to discover this."

The host was a little speechless when he heard this. He opened his mouth and said, "So, Director Wang was really tortured by you when he was filming "The Legend of Zhen Huan"?"

Zhou Xun and Mei Ting looked at each other, then nodded with a knowing smile.

10 month 21 day.

The daily box office of "Time Traveler" has plummeted to more than one million.

The total box office has reached 2.6 million, surpassing "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou and becoming the highest-grossing movie in the mainland.

At this time, Wang Shu was not only the second mainland movie with a single-film box office exceeding 2 million, but also broke the record set by Zhang Yimou and became the new mainland single-film box office number one.

"Hero" has a box office of 2.5 million in the mainland, and has always been the top single-film box office. Whether it is Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, or Hong Kong's Zhou Xingxing, no one has been able to break it.

Nowadays, the mainland box office of "Space Traveler" has exceeded 2.6 million, but it has broken this record.

From then on, Wang Shu began to guard the ring.

Of course, in terms of global box office, "Space Traveler" is naturally no match for "Hero".

But the new box office record for mainland movies was set by "Space Traveler".

Han Sanping was very happy that "Space Traveler" set a new record. There were many reports in the print media and online media circles, and there were endless boasts and exclamations.

Wang Shu was embarrassed.

He knows that although "Space Traveler" broke the mainland box office record of "Hero" and became the number one box office in the mainland.

But if your butt is not hot enough, it will be refreshed by Lao Mouzi.

It's already October 10st, and Zhang Yimou's "The Golden Armor" will be released in less than two months. The box office in the Mainland was 21 million, setting a new record.

Although "Space Traveler" is currently the number one box office movie in the Mainland, it can only stay on the throne for two months at most before it is broken.

The louder you blow now, the more embarrassing it will be if the record is refreshed in the future.

Therefore, when faced with these voices, he remained silent, just so that he would not be embarrassed.

If it were Chen Kaige, he would have been in high spirits a long time ago. Not only would he not avoid interviews, but he would also be eager for someone to interview him so that he could show off loudly.

If Wang Shu hadn't known that the mainland box office of "The Golden Armor" would be 2.9 million, he would have spoken loudly.

However, at the moment, he feels it is necessary to keep a low profile.

Of course, if the box office of "Space Traveler" can exceed 2.9 million, there is no need for Wang Shu to keep a low profile amidst all the boasting.

It's just that "Time Traveler" has been released for three weeks, and there is only one week left before it will be released.

There is usually no comment on the box office in the last week. Unless the Yin soldiers pass through, it is impossible to get more than 30 million in box office.

This means that the box office of "Space Traveler" will never exceed 2.9 million, and will only reach 2.7 million at most.

On that day, Wang Shu did not go to the crew of "Secret Garden". Instead, he adjusted the scenes and handed over the filming of the crew to the assistant directors, and then stayed in the company to preside over the auditions.

This audition is just a first try on the makeup and will not directly determine the candidate.

of course.

Although the candidates will not be directly confirmed, some actors will be screened out.

Wang Shu will audition the remaining actors after filming "Secret Garden" is completed.

Because they were auditioning at Yishu Company, the actors all took it seriously, and all of them came early to wait.

The roles in the "blockbuster" were limited, and the actors who received invitations to audition were already involved with each other from the beginning.

Among the actors who came to audition, there were Chen Kun, Zhang Hanyu, Huang Xiaoming, Liu Ye, Fu Dalong, Huang Bo, Guo Tao, etc.

Wang Shu glanced around and found that there were actually relatively few new-generation movie actors in the Mainland.

He also knew this in his heart.

In major productions in recent years, the male protagonists are basically played by actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

As time went by, he became one of the few successful movie actors in the Mainland.

Comparatively speaking, actresses have improved their status by co-starring with male actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Hong Kong movies flourished earlier, and Hong Kong movie stars became famous earlier.

The times dictate that there is no way around it.

After this period of labor pains, the mainland will slowly nurture actors who can take the lead.

Now even if Wang Shu wants to find a leading actor in the film field in the mainland who can star with Gong Li, it is difficult to find him.

It's not impossible, for example, Zhang Yimou is enough to play a supporting role with Gong Li, but this is impossible.

Another example is Chen Baoguo. In terms of status, he is far enough to play a supporting role with Gong Li.

It's just that this one is currently out of action and won't come out again for about 10 years.
