Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 614: Overpowering the Girl

At six o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles, Tim Smith had not slept all night, but was still very excited. He excitedly called his Chinese boss on the other side of the ocean.

As soon as the call was connected, Tim laughed excitedly and said, "Haha, Boss, guess how much the box office was on the first day of the release?"

"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly!" Li Chen scolded, thinking that it seems that the foreigners' transformation is still not thorough.

If it were Yang Siwei, he would definitely report the number directly. There would be no reason to let him guess.

Tim was not amused and immediately reported the number: "Boss, 7115 million! 2095 million for the midnight show!"

"Nolan's The Dark Knight was also trampled under our feet!"

An hour later, when Liu Yifei, who had just woken up, saw the number sent by her husband on the mobile phone, she rubbed her eyes and looked at it carefully twice. After confirming that the unit was ten thousand and the suffix was US dollars, she was completely ecstatic.

She had no one to share her excitement with, but she didn't have the heart to disturb her husband, as they might have been asleep by now.

Liu Yifei could only hold her phone and rushed out of the bedroom with a gust of fragrant wind: "Mom, mom, mom!"

"It's so early in the morning, someone is calling your soul!" Liu Xiaoli was having breakfast when she heard her daughter's voice coming from upstairs.

Liu Yifei ran down the stairs.

"Slow down, slow down! It's just a box office hit!"

"You know everything, Mom?" Liu Yifei said happily, her face without makeup was rosy and full of youthful charm.

"Of course I know. Li Chen also sent me a message. Okay, go wash up and have breakfast. Mom will accompany you to the company." Liu Xiaoli said with a smile as she helped her daughter smooth down her slightly messy hair.

The news that "The Hunger Games" was a huge hit at the North American box office and broke multiple records was immediately reported back to China.

The impact it has on Chinese filmmakers and the film and television industry is no less than that of the 3.6 ​​million yuan broken ship back then.

There has never been a shortage of Chinese filmmakers going international and breaking into Hollywood.

But the only two who could hold their own at the box office were Cheng Long and Jet Li.

There is not a single Chinese actress.

Although Gongli and Zhang Ziyi are both famous and well-known, they just can't carry the box office.

Maybe he is well-known, but in Hollywood, he has always been just a passer-by.

If you don't carry the box office, the Big Six will not abandon you, a Chinese actress.

This time, "The Hunger Games" made many people understand a fact.

Being a "Mou Girl" or "Xing Girl" may make you famous overnight and even step onto the international stage, but in Hollywood, only being a "Chen Girl" can make you go further.

Sina Entertainment News

"The Hunger Games swept the box office on its first day, earning $7115 million, surpassing the $6717 million set by The Dark Knight and rising to fifth place in the first-day box office record in North American film history."

"The Hunger Games set multiple box office records on its first day, and Liu Yifei topped the IBDM Asian Actress Popularity List."

"If we talk about the most anticipated Hollywood blockbuster this spring, it must be The Hunger Games starring Chinese actress Liu Yifei."

"It set several records on the first day: the highest box office on the first day of a non-sequel in Hollywood history, the highest box office on the first day of a March movie, and the highest box office on the first day of a Chiyou Films movie."

"Industry insiders predict that since the Harry Potter film series officially came to an end last year, the last Twilight film will also be released this year."

"The subject matter, world view and youthful and beautiful actors of The Hunger Games are all qualified to succeed Harry Potter and Twilight, becoming another masterpiece of Chiyou Pictures after Twilight."

Jinghua Daily reported
"The Hunger Games has set many records in a row, and Chinese director Li Chen's reputation in Hollywood is growing."

"Variety called him 'Golden Eyes', and the two novels he picked, Twilight and The Hunger Games, were once despised by the six major Hollywood films, but now they have become the guests of Hollywood's box office records."

"The New York Daily News called him Asia's No. 6000 angel investor. It is reported that 'Read and Burn' has completed its Series A financing, with a valuation of US$ million, in which Li Chen himself and Han Tang Fund were involved."

Early in the morning, Li Chen received congratulatory calls from all sides.

People from Warner, China Film, Wanda, and even Wang Zhonglei made a phone call. They said congratulations, but the sourness in their voices could be heard through the microphone.

Even Nolan called and teased Li Chen, saying that he was not surpassed by the director, but was defeated by the director's wife.

Wang Zhonglei hung up the phone. The smile on his face just now disappeared without a trace like an illusion, leaving only gloom.

With US$7115 million on the first day, compared with North America, the initial US$3000 million in the mainland seems completely negligible.

Next, it will enter the two major voting bases of Britain and France.

"Li Chen is such a pervert, this... this is faster than robbing a bank! Brother, we brothers get up earlier than the chickens and go to bed later than him every day! Why are we the ones who get hurt every time!"

"Are we brothers destined to be the runner-up for the rest of our lives?"

Wang Zhongjun was speechless in response to Wang Zhonglei's soul-searching questioning.

At first, I thought Chiyou Pictures was a joke, but since when did this joke stop making people laugh?

Wang Zhongjun thought about it carefully and decided that it should start with the annexation of Xinxian. Han Sanping cursed the most fiercely: "Compared to you, our China Film Group is just a beggar!"

"You've found a treasure again, Director Tong said that this year the welfare benefits of the group and the bureau will come to you for sponsorship!"

Li Chen laughed: "Okay, Mr. Han, you count the number of people, including the cleaning staff, and it's all mine!"

"From now on, Chiyou's films don't need to be reviewed anymore. Even restricted-level films can be imported. From now on, I will be responsible for the benefits of China Film and the Bureau!"

"Get lost!" Han Saping cursed with a smile and hung up the phone.

Yang Siwei understands the principle of striking while the iron is hot, and of course Tim Smith understands it too.

Liu Yifei's press releases and various prepared black-and-white blockbusters were published in various Hollywood media and magazines.

There are young girls, cold and aloof, heroic and dashing ones, and all kinds of styles emerge in endlessly.

Liu Yifei herself has appeared on major American television stations for interviews.

Within three days, Liu Yifei's name became famous throughout North America, and the box office of "The Hunger Games" also experienced a boom.

"The Hunger Games," which has become a "national phenomenon" in the United States, won last week's championship with a staggering box office of 1.59 million US dollars.

It became the third fastest opening in film history, after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2) and The Dark Knight.

In Warner's eyes, Li Chen's position is even more unique and almost irreplaceable.

"1.59 million! Humph, even ten Zhang Ziyi plus one Gong Li are probably not as good as one Liu Yifei."

"Even if Zhang Ziyi really hooks up with that Israeli guy and becomes the wife of Warner's major shareholder, she still can't compare to Brother Chen."

The filming of "Yang Guifei" was suspended during this period, but Fan Qiaoqiao was not idle either. He also kept in touch with Yang Siwei.

It is more effective to flatter Brother Chen in front of her than to flatter Brother Chen in person.

"Why are you still so resentful towards her? After all, she hired you to film the first episode of Perfect Match!"

"Others don't know, but you don't? Did she choose me because she wanted to promote me? I'm playing the role of a third party who interferes with the relationship!"

Yang Siwei smiled: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to ask about you and her."

Fan Qiaoqiao sighed: "Brother Chen's business is getting bigger and bigger. Compared with him, the studios of us little stars are only better than beggars."

"This one play is more than my studio's income in five years! Yifei is really blessed in her previous life. She can walk sideways in the circle in the future. Who dares to mess with her?"

The protagonist that no one dared to mess with as described by Fan Qiaoqiao went to England and France to attend the premiere of "The Hunger Games".

Due to the intervention of someone with ulterior motives, the dispute between Zhao and Zhen ended and the two sides made peace.

"Vientiane Island" will start filming in half a month.

Jack and Rose went their separate ways that year. One went to London with Cameron to attend the premiere of the 3D film "The Ship". Without Jack, the fans' passion was suddenly half gone.

After all, Ruth is no longer the seductive blonde she used to be.

But Jack is still handsome as ever.

Many netizens and fans are asking: "Where is Jack?"

In response to this, the British media gave the answer: because he had other film contracts.

Beijing Airport
The missing Jack appeared in the crowd alone with his blonde supermodel girlfriend Erin Heatherton, dressed simply.

It attracted many passers-by to watch and take photos.

Before the 3D broken ship set sail, a piece of news had already spread on the Internet.

The few seconds of high-definition, uncensored footage of Rose that were not cut when "Titanic" was released in China in 98 have now been deleted from the 3D version in mainland China.

Netizens were in an uproar, not knowing whether it was true or not.

The reasons are different.

There is one that is so real that it is enough to make people collapse.

Beijing Morning News

"As the 3D Titanic is about to be released in mainland China, a theory has been widely circulated about why Rose's nude scene was deleted from the film."

"According to this statement, the General Administration was worried that the 3D effect was too real and that Chinese male audiences would be unable to resist reaching out to grab the screen, thus affecting the viewing experience of the audience next to them, so some scenes were deleted."

It was Li Chen who personally called Tong Gang to ask about this matter.

After all, this matter caused a lot of controversy in the previous life. The key point is that Cameron said in an interview that this was the official statement.

The whole world is stunned: How hungry are Chinese men?
