This top guy is crazy!

Chapter 351 Returning to China and Being Interviewed
In the next few days, the box office of "Resident Evil" continued to rise.

October 12th, the fifth day of release.

The domestic single-day box office fell to 2.31 million, and the overseas single-day box office fell to 4.67 million; the global single-day box office was 6.98 million; the cumulative total box office was 34 billion.

The box office gap between "Resident Evil" and "Electric Man 3" is gradually widening.

December 12th, the sixth day of release, Saturday.

The domestic single-day box office rebounded slightly to 2.44 million, up 0.13 million from yesterday; the overseas single-day box office fell from yesterday to 4.41 million; the global single-day box office was 6.85 million; the cumulative total box office was 41 billion!
January 12th, the seventh day of release.

The domestic single-day box office fell to 2.01 million, and the potential seemed to have been exhausted; the overseas single-day box office fell to 3.80 million; the global single-day box office was 5.8 million; the cumulative total box office was 47 billion!
So far, the first week box office of "Resident Evil" has been updated:
Domestic box office total: 19 billion

Total global box office: 47 billion

This means that more than half of the box office revenue comes from overseas.

When the first week's box office figures came out, all media outlets began to report on it extensively.

Beijing Daily: "Resident Evil breaks records: 47 billion box office in the first week, setting off a global box office boom!"

Global Outlook: "Resident Evil" is released simultaneously around the world, with overseas box office exceeding 2.8 billion! Huge contribution! "

Yangcheng Daily: "A red dress conquers East Asia, "Resident Evil" becomes a global hit, foreigners love it like crazy!"

Zhongzhou Morning Post: "Resident Evil dominates the Serbian box office, crushing Electric Man 3 and stunning the world film industry!"

Times Mirror Magazine: "Resident Evil counterattacks and tops the charts! Cheng Cheng has been promoted to an international director!"

Tianxia Movie News: "Resident Evil breaks Tianxia movie's first week sales record!"

"Tianxia Film News: Resident Evil is now showing in theaters around the world.

Up to now, the film has earned a global cumulative box office of 47.356 billion yuan, winning 7 consecutive championships in the mainland box office list, 7 consecutive championships in the Neon box office, 7 consecutive championships in the Peninsula box office, and won the runner-up in Serbia's year-end holiday season. It also entered the top ten global box office in 2024, ranking 88th on the global box office list.

Although the box office of "Resident Evil" fell by 15.4% month-on-month as the number of theaters began to decrease, it is still surging with a daily box office of about 5 million.

Since its premiere on December 12, this R-rated film has surpassed the action-adventure film "Crazy Storm" to rise to seventh place on the 10 global box office list.

As soon as "Resident Evil" was released, it won international acclaim for Chinese-language films!
The popularity of "Resident Evil" is not only a commercial success, but is also closely related to its charming character settings and rigorous and rich world view design.

The whole film mainly tells the story of the struggle between the heroine and her team and the zombies infected by biological weapons.

In addition to the wonderful fighting scenes, the film also contains reflections on human nature.

The director's skill in using color in the film is also amazing. In the film, only the heroine wears a red dress, which is particularly eye-catching, allowing the audience to recognize the heroine at a glance and focusing the audience's attention on the heroine. The actors' makeup throughout the film is simple, which is unified with the gray tones, further rendering the fall of life.

This film uses the technique of flashback, revealing the truth of the matter bit by bit through the transition of pictures, creating a unique visual experience.

In general, although the film is full of fear, the audience can also learn some truths from the film and feel spiritually touched.

The success of "Resident Evil" fully demonstrates its broad appeal across cultures, languages ​​and regions.

In fact, in recent years, when some Hollywood blockbusters tried to open up the Tianxia market by shooting in Tianxia and incorporating Tianxia elements, more and more Tianxia films entered overseas markets represented by Hollywood and gained good reputation.

Unlike the past, when the focus was more on showing the traditional culture and history of Tianxia, ​​now it covers a wider range of themes, including realistic themes reflecting contemporary life and social changes, as well as cross-border fusion science fiction films. They are going to the world with a more confident attitude, making overseas audiences take a new look at domestic films.

In summary, "Resident Evil" is not only a box office myth, but also a trend-setting and convention-breaking film masterpiece. Its influence will far exceed the box office figures and will have a profound impact on the future direction of Tianxia.

Let us all look forward to Cheng Cheng bringing us more surprises and subversions in the future, and to seeing more Tianxia films enter the international market."

What does a box office of 47 billion in the first week mean?
You know, the box office champion this year was only over 30 billion, and that was the result after one and a half months of release. But now, "Resident Evil" has reached that number in just one week, and it is far more than that!

It's not just netizens who are amazed.

Even industry insiders are amazed!
Before the release of Resident Evil, they thought the box office would be good, but they didn't expect it to be this good! It was so good! It was so good that they couldn't even imagine it!

If "Those Years" made "learning to live with mental illness" a topic for the entire domestic entertainment industry.

"Resident Evil" makes "how to please the mentally ill" a compulsory course in domestic entertainment!
"Chinese Attack" and "Resident Evil" were released at the same time. One was banned across the entire network, and the other was banned worldwide. The subsequent impact is not just as simple as the box office. It also represents the success of one path and the failure of another, and represents the power reshuffle in the domestic entertainment industry.

From then on, there was no such thing as the three major directors in the domestic entertainment industry.

In other words, above the three great directors, there is another transcendent director.

Whether in terms of the number of awards or commercial performance, Cheng Cheng is already one level higher than the top three directors.

From now on, any star in the domestic entertainment industry who wants to become more famous, go overseas, or even gain international fame will definitely have to go around Cheng Cheng.

As a result, countless directors and celebrities began to post on Weibo to congratulate Cheng Cheng on his victory.

The sight of all the Weibo accounts being verified has left netizens feeling extremely shocked!
"Looking at the entire history of Tianxia Cinema, his victory is unmatched!"

"We won! We won comprehensively!"

"Sweep across the world!"

"Once in a thousand years, we stand on equal footing!"

"A short essay changes the history of Tianxia movies!"

Taking this opportunity, the Sixth Princess also posted a message, saying that the documentary about Cheng Cheng will be online soon.

The name of the documentary is very simple, it is called "Cheng Cheng".

The film not only records the entire process of the birth of "Resident Evil", showing how Cheng Cheng and the film's creators turned creativity and words into a complete movie, but also deeply records Cheng Cheng's daily life, incomprehensible living habits, and the capital game after "Resident Evil".

As soon as the news came out, Cheng Cheng's fans were very excited.

"Damn, there's a surprise?!"

"Bring it up quickly!"

"Ahhh, I love to read the behind-the-scenes stories! Sixth Princess, you understand me so well!"

"Incomprehensible lifestyle habits?! I'm ready to start laughing!"

"That's awesome! Resident Evil is the first movie from Tianxia to make it to Hollywood. It has an extremely extraordinary milestone significance. As a documentary that records the birth of Resident Evil, it will surely occupy a place in Tianxia's film history and become a valuable resource for later generations to learn from. The Sixth Princess actually has such a forward-looking vision?"

"Cyber ​​historian!"

"I can only say that the Sixth Princess is worthy of being the Sixth Princess!"

December 12th was the tenth day since the release of "Resident Evil".

An airplane slowly landed at Teikyo International Airport.

Inside the cabin, Jiang Nan was sleeping soundly on Cheng Cheng's shoulder. She was seen hugging Cheng Cheng's waist with both hands, her thick black hair cascading down like a waterfall, her fair little face seemed to be so tender that water could be squeezed out, her cherry-like mouth slightly opened, exhaling a sweet breath.

Cheng Cheng kept his posture unchanged, his eyes fixed on the screen of his laptop, planning his next move.

When the vibration of the plane's wheels touching the ground began to be felt, Cheng Cheng turned off his laptop, turned his head, and woke up Jiang Nan:
"Jiang Jiang, wake up, we are home."

Jiang Nan woke up slowly and stretched. Her graceful figure was like a kitten that had just woken up, lazy and charming.

Then, she lay on Cheng Cheng greedily again and said with emotion:

"Finally back~"

Cheng Cheng ruffled her hair: "Are you homesick?"

Jiang Nan nodded and said:

"I kind of miss it. I miss the delicious food in Dijing. Now I want to eat braised pork, fried liver, Dijing roast duck, noodles with soybean paste, fried tripe, and shabu-shabu mutton. I'm tired of eating steak every day in Serbia. But~ I have to work again after returning to China~ I can't be with you every day~"

Jiang Nan is now becoming more and more eager to stay with Cheng Cheng.

Even if she didn't cook, she felt that just being by Cheng Cheng's side, breathing his scent, and feeling his presence made her feel happy and at ease. But when she was alone, she always felt lonely and empty.

After Cheng Cheng returned to China, he kissed her for the last time because they were going to meet secretly and couldn't be photographed by paparazzi.

"Then wait for me to arrange a project for you so that I can come to you conveniently."

Jiang Nan is now a free agent. After terminating her contract with SL, she opened her own studio under the management of her father.

Jiang Nan asked: "What project? Variety show or TV series?"

Cheng Yi: “Variety show?”

Jiang Nan: "What type?"

Cheng Cheng: "Street dance. It's called "This! Is Street Dance". You will be the instructor and lead the team."

"Street Dance of China" has been running for the sixth season in its previous life. Although the popularity is not high, the evaluation has always been high. The first season scored 8.6, the second season scored 8.7, and the third season scored 8.2.

Because Jiang Nan was originally from the Peninsula girl group and has strong dancing skills, it can be made into Jiang Nan's representative variety show work. It can also take over her fame from "Resident Evil" and maintain her exposure.

Jiang Nan's eyes lit up: "It seems good~"

She asked with a smile:
"Can I invite you to be my guest?"

She raised her head and pressed her body against Cheng Cheng, not caring at all that her proud softness was felt by Cheng Cheng. Of course, Cheng Cheng didn't know how many times he had felt her gracefulness, and she no longer cared at all.

Cheng Cheng said: "You can go to the last issue."

Jiang Nan was satisfied:

"That's fine~ Once is enough."

Got off the plane.

Cheng Cheng and Jiang Nan were surrounded by reporters waiting at the airport.

In the distance, there were huge crowds of fans, blocking the airport.

This time, Cheng Cheng and Jiang Nan returned with honor, and many people were cheering!
"Brother Frog!"

"Jiang Nan, I love you!!!"

"You guys are awesome!"

"Beauty of the century!"

"Welcome home!"

"Jiang Nan, you are so beautiful!"

Jiang Nan's face flushed as she felt the enthusiasm of the fans. She had never been so welcomed in all the previous visits to China. She looked at Cheng Cheng next to her and found that he was very calm, as if he was used to it.

Reporters came up and asked:
"Director Cheng, can you please accept the interview?"

"Director Cheng, did you ever think that Resident Evil would be such a huge success?"

"Director Cheng, what is your next plan?"

"Director Cheng, how many films do you plan to make in the Resident Evil series? When will the second film be made?"

"Jiang Nan, how do you feel now?"

"Jiang Nan, netizens are speculating that you and Director Cheng have a special relationship. Are you really just ordinary friends? Has anything happened that goes beyond friendship?"

Jiang Nan thought the media was too annoying. They actually asked her what her relationship with Chengzi was. How should she answer? If she said they were just ordinary friends, would Chengzi be angry? But if she made it public, would Chengzi be even angrier?

She secretly looked at Cheng Cheng, but found that Cheng Cheng directly ignored the reporter and answered other people's questions:

"The second film will be filmed in September next year and released at the same time as this year. My plan is to have one film a year, tentatively 9."

Speaking of which, the previous film "Resident Evil 1" was filmed in 2002, and "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" was filmed in 2016, with a span of 14 years. The heroine was filmed from 27 to 41 years old. The people behind are not beautiful anymore.

Cheng Cheng plans to make one film every year until all seven are completed. Jiang Nan is only 31 years old.

"Can you tell me the general plot of the second part?"

Cheng Cheng: “Oh, I haven’t written it yet.”

reporter:
Good, very good, very confident. Although the script has not been written yet, we have already planned to shoot it in September next year and release it in December. That’s great.

Next, the reporter asked Cheng Cheng and Jiang Nan many questions. Cheng Cheng and Jiang Nan answered all the questions they could. Then, the reporter let them go. However, Cheng Cheng and Jiang Nan avoided all the questions about their relationship.

Before leaving, Cheng Cheng asked the reporters to help him and Jiang Nan take a group photo with the fans who came to the airport to pick them up.

Then came the report.

"At 12:20 pm on December 4, Cheng Cheng and Jiang Nan arrived at the Imperial International Airport smoothly and accepted interviews from many media on the spot.

From the photos taken at the event, we can see that Cheng Cheng is wearing a well-tailored black suit, and to cope with the cold weather in the capital, he also specially matched it with a long down jacket. Jiang Nan, on the other hand, is wearing a stylish cold hat, with his hands in his pockets, and a down jacket of the same color as Cheng Cheng. Both of them show extraordinary temperament and demeanor. Especially Jiang Nan, her international actress style is becoming more and more obvious, and her popularity is indeed nourishing.

During the interview, the reporters raised many questions, including "How many films are planned to be filmed in the "Resident Evil" series, when will the second film start filming", "What do you think about the removal of "Chinese Pictures" from the shelves", "Why do you speak up for Lu Zhuofeng", etc. "
