Actor: Thank you.

Just as Zhang Yuan had planned, Hu Ge, who had been recuperating for several months, suddenly showed up, which made the premiere, which originally did not attract much attention, and the movie, which originally attracted a lot of attention, all become completely ignited like a raging fire.

The Internet is flooded with photos of Hu Ge appearing.

Paparazzi from all over the country also swarmed in, chasing and intercepting him, trying to get first-hand information about Hu Ge's current situation.

Hu Ge is somewhat famous and is considered one of the leading young actors in the TV drama circle.

After all, Boss Cai is supporting him.

But this car accident can be considered a blessing in disguise for him.

From being a star in the TV drama circle, he became a well-known unlucky person.

After all, TV dramas are at most entertainment versions, while serious car accidents are factual versions, with completely different priorities and the audience is several orders of magnitude larger.

At first Hugo was not too happy about it.

But the same thing happened. Zhang Yuan was his boss now, and he had no power to refuse.

In addition, he thought of all the help Zhang Yuan had given him after he got into trouble, so he came anyway.

Now the headline "Hu Ge appears at the premiere of "Secret"" has spread all over the Internet and even appeared on the evening news of several TV stations.

Jay Chou himself has quite a few fans and is very popular.

In addition, Liu Xixi has gained popularity through the three characters of Zhao Linger, Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu.

I spent a lot of time warming up with "Blue and White Porcelain".

Now there is the heat of Hu Ge’s comeback.

Zhang Yuan has done his best.

Next, it’s time to “see whether it’s a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk.”

"Oh... pull."

On the set, Zhang Yuan pulled the reins of the horse, then with a small swing of his legs, he jumped off the horse in an elegant manner.

"Not bad, quite handsome!" Uncle Long stepped forward and praised.

"It's just that the movement of your legs is not grand enough, and it doesn't match your usual temperament."

Zhang Yuan’s moves used to be very bold and dramatic, especially his fighting moves.

But the leg that was swinging when he dismounted from the horse just now was slightly tilted.

"Haha, the movements are too big. I'm afraid it's not safe on horseback."

"I didn't expect you would be careful sometimes." Uncle Long pulled him aside.

Zhang Yuan thought to himself, you don’t know.

The last time I got off a horse so carelessly was when I was on the set of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

Yang Mi was knocked to the ground with a whip kick.

The kick caused her chest to be swollen for several days.

And I don’t know if it was a developmental problem or if he was really injured by her kick.

After Zhang Yuan's on-site investigation, it was found that the sizes of Yang Mi's breasts are slightly different.

The side that she kicked seemed to be slightly smaller by about 5%.

But just like a person's face, only a few are completely symmetrical on both sides.

But he was still careful to avoid kicking anyone again.

After all, if I kicked Liu Xixi on the set, she would be already in a very bad condition and if she was kicked to death, I would really have to use the washboard from now on.

From then on, he developed the habit of dismounting with his legs tucked in.

They had just finished shooting a shot and it was time for a break, so Chen Long pulled him aside.

Not only Uncle Long was there, but also Liu Jia and her daughter, Li Lianjie, Li Bingbing and a few others came from near and far to join in the fun.

What can we do together?
Look at the box office!
Since the third day after the release of "Secret", the leading actors of "The Forbidden Kingdom" crew have started this popular "extracurricular activity".

On the third day of its release, the box office of this film reached a terrifying level of over 2000 million!
This is just the mainland.

The film was released in Taiwan and Hong Kong three days later than in mainland China.

These two places are also important voting bases.

Later, the film was released in Singapore, the island country, South Korea, Malaysia and other Confucian cultural radiation areas one after another. These were all Jiang Zhiqiang’s channels.

Boss Jiang is quite good at doing business overseas.

The film grossed 800 million on the first day, breaking the first-day box office record for domestic romance films.

Films shot in Taiwan are also considered domestic.

Now that its first week of release is over, it has grossed 3800 million.

Ning Hao even called Zhang Yuan to congratulate Zhang Yuan and Jay Chou on their great success.

Zhang Yuan replied to him, your new film will definitely break this record easily by then.

Big Head talked excitedly for a long time.

Although it was not his film, he was still happy.

Zhang Yuan’s participation in this factor only accounts for a small part.

After all, Ning Hao is a smart man. It's not him who makes the big money for the boss, so he is not stupid enough to be happy for the boss.

He was happy because he saw such a film could achieve such results now.

The same goes for these people on the set.

It was Uncle Long who brought up the matter of looking at the box office. He was very concerned about the performance of the works invested by Zhang Yuan. After all, he had been to the press conference, and he himself was a top enthusiast.

The reason why he was so excited was actually the same as Ning Hao's.

There are many reasons why "Secret" has such a good box office.

But one of them is the overall prosperity of China's film and television industry.

This is another difference between Chen Long and Li Lianjie.

Li Lianjie only acted, but Chen Long also had to produce and employ a large group of people.

As early as the 90s, Chen Long saw the development potential of the mainland film and television market.

Because there is nothing. Except for a few core areas in cities, there are very few cinemas in most places. How can the potential be small?
When Uncle Long appeared on a domestic program, he said that if cinemas were built in these desolate places and everyone went in to watch movies, then the future of our film and television industry would be amazing.

Well, he saw it today!
This is not just the total of 3800 million after the release, but the box office in the mainland market for one week!

So what Chen Long saw in it was infinite possibilities for the future.

A romance film directed by a new director can earn tens of millions at the box office.

This would have been unimaginable a few years ago.

The 03 film "Infernal Affairs 3" only grossed over 3000 million yuan in mainland China.

This is a top blockbuster with a large number of stars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, building on the foundation laid by the first two films.

Comparing the two, it shows that the overall box office market is growing rapidly.

Chen Long makes movies every year, which is a great thing for him.

If the market is good, he will be able to earn more in the future.

As a stakeholder, of course it’s exciting.

The mother and daughter of the Liu family also got excited.

If Chen Long has an indirect interest, then the two of them have a direct interest!
Because Liu Xixi gets a share of the profits!
The higher the movie's box office, the higher her earnings.

Liu Xiaoli was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling as she watched the box office soar every day.

Liu Qianqian was also very happy, but she covered her mouth, mainly because she was afraid of showing her teeth.

She also saves her own little piggy bank.

She also loves money.

It’s just that he’s not in love to the extent that some female stars are madly in love and are willing to give everything for it.

As he was watching, Zhang Yuan felt someone elbowing him.

Looking back, Xiaolongnu winked at him quietly.

"what happened?"

"It seems that my choice was right, thank you."

"I should thank you because you help me make money." Zhang Yuan raised his arm and wanted to touch her face.

He caught a glimpse of Liu Xiaoli looking at them and was stunned.

Then I saw Aunt Liu turned her head away...

You see, once they are happy, even the controls are relaxed a lot.

It turns out that men still need money.

If you have money, you can solve 99% of the problems.

The remaining 0.1% cannot be solved whether you have money or not, so it is equivalent to saying that money can solve all problems.

"Just pretend I didn't see it." Liu Xiaoli thought to herself.

It's hard to stop him, and Zhang Yuan is indeed very powerful.

Of course she is happy that her daughter can make more money.

But she, like Chen Long, saw more behind the scenes.

A movie can have high box office, just like a TV series can have high ratings.

It is not certain that this drama will bring in much profit, but with this drama, when we discuss other film remuneration and commercial endorsement prices later, we will definitely be able to raise the price significantly!

She also noticed it, whether it was the theme song of "Xiyangyang", "Blue and White Porcelain", or this movie.

The work Zhang Yuan assigned to his daughter basically had good long-term returns.

It's not about taking advantage of her popularity to make quick money without any consequences.

This made her feel relieved.

So in recent days, Liu Xiaoli would call him for good things, such as eating and drinking. In the evening, she would buy some fruit, wash and cut it for her daughter, and ask her assistant to send him a portion.

Zhang Yuan looked at the fruits and wondered when you could wash them and send them to your daughter...

Not only Liu Xiaoli became more enthusiastic, but another aunt...or should I say sister, also became more enthusiastic after seeing the box office success of "Secret".

Li Bingbing often comes to chat with him during his breaks recently.

Is there a Huayi in the way?
I will have to leave Huayi one day.

Nowadays, the films directed by Zhang Yuan are very popular.

And every movie he made became a hit.

The previous "Crazy Stone" surprised many veteran directors and industry veterans and broke their common sense.

This is called "destruction before construction". If we don't break the common sense of these old guys, how can we move forward?

If you want to take a big step forward, you have to kill Lao Hangtian first. That’s what Zhang Beihai did.

Now "Secret" is already the second box office hit.

Two films in a row, one per year.

That means this is not a coincidence!

He has the vision.

Li Bingbing thought that this was another rising force.

More friends mean more paths. When you set up your own business in the future, you may even have to ask others for help.

It must be arranged early.

Zhang Yuan could feel the changes in Li Bingbing.

He doesn't care about the difference between the other person before and after.

It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

The fact that she is close to me now at least shows that she is not blind and has a clear mind.

That's not bad.

It is much better than those guys who can't distinguish between good and bad, stick to their own circles, and won't let you be good even if I'm not good.

Zhang Yuan’s principle of doing things is to unite all forces that can be united.

Can I unite those people in the old emperor’s circle?
People still look down on you.

Therefore, his ideal targets for unity are these emerging figures.

Compared to others, Li Lianjie was much calmer.

More often than not, it is a state of watching with a smile from a third-person perspective.

Zhang Yuan is a friend, and it’s a happy thing that his friend’s box office is good, that’s all.

This is his character.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Seeing that they were always gathering together, Maikou also became interested.

After I gave him a brief explanation, he counted on his fingers.

"3800 million, that's 500 million US dollars... Is that a lot?"

Zhang Yuan became furious when he saw him.

You are doing such simple arithmetic by counting on your fingers. Your education in the beacon country is doomed.

Also, can you convert it directly like this?

Isn't this just like those people on the Internet who calculate the income of illegal immigrants and foreign workers, and think that they can live well on one or two thousand dollars a month.

To make a comparison without considering the external environment is just being a hooligan.

"Not much." Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked worried at him, scaring him so much that he took several steps back.

"But one day, the Chinese film industry will also produce figures that will surprise you foreigners."

Life and death are bearish, if you don't agree, just do it.

One day I will pull your Hollywood movies off the box office charts.

After hearing what he said, Chen Long patted his shoulder with an admiring look.

"I don't think the final box office of your movie will exceed 100 million!" Uncle Long estimated.

"Ah, it can't be that high?" Liu Xiaoli was also shocked by the number.

"I think it's possible." Li Bingbing sang a wedding song beside.

"I hope so." Li Lianjie also said something nice.

But what no one expected was that the one who poured cold water on others was Zhang Yuan himself.

"Based on the actual box office in mainland China, it should be impossible." Zhang Yuan answered confidently.

He wasn't talking nonsense.

Because at this point in time, there were only three directors in the entire mainland who had made movies with box office revenues exceeding 100 million yuan.

Lao Mouzi, Chen the Poet, and Feng the Pants.

Only these three!

Even if we include Taiwan and Hong Kong, there is only one more person, Stephen Chow.

The others include John Woo, Ang Lee, and Wong Jing.

At this moment, no one has achieved results exceeding 100 million in the mainland.

These four are symbols of an era.

The reason why their movies can get this box office success is not only because of their personal abilities, but also because of the massive resource support behind them.

Jay Chou doesn’t have it, and Zhang Yuan doesn’t have as much backing as these guys.

So he has a very clear understanding of himself.

Moreover, he deliberately created a lot of big news before the release in order to boost the box office in the first week.

Wait until you build up a good reputation and then slowly make money?

The term "explosion-proof" did not appear in later talent shows.

Whenever a new person comes forward in a circle, a group of old guys will jump out and stomp their feet and curse.

In addition, he and Hua Yi had just had some disagreements, so Zhang Yuan's strategy was to attack with explosive output.

It is better to overdraw one's potential in the future and achieve good results first to avoid any unexpected events.

A few more weeks passed.

By the fourth week, the sun was almost setting.

"You're right..." Chen Long looked at Zhang Yuan with a strange expression.

It earned 3800 million in the first week.

But the total revenue for the remaining three weeks was just over 1000 million.

He guessed so accurately, does this kid have such a sharp vision... Chen Long even found it strange.

Zhang Yuan was not surprised at all.

There were also a lot of cursing voices on the Internet.

Many of the criticisms were about his guest appearance.

After all, it was a cameo appearance, but he only showed half of his face in the last shot, and his eyes just slipped away.

The guest appearance is just like no guest appearance, just like a string.

This was his planned marketing strategy, and being scolded was also a means of increasing his popularity.

But what he didn't expect was that he had already prepared himself to be scolded.

I didn’t expect the audience loved him so much. They were all scolding Jay Chou for being a bad director.

It is said that he definitely had more than just this one cameo shot, and Jay Chou cut the footage so that only half of his face was left.

Some people also said that Jay Chou did it on purpose because he was jealous that he looked better than himself.

Zhang Yuan thinks... what you said is quite reasonable!
Originally, he had already informed Yang Siwei and asked her to prepare for online public relations in advance.

But seeing this, he called a stop.

"Anyway, he's the one being scolded, not me."

Yang Siwei replied in a tangled tone: "Will this hurt him too much?"

"I'm hurt... Never mind."

I don’t care about what he does!

This movie is somewhat fan-oriented, so it's normal to make money by being criticized.

He was already very satisfied with the box office revenue of just over 5000 million.

Because this doesn’t even include several other markets.

The box office of Formosa Boulevard exceeded 8000 million...although it was in New Taiwan dollars.

If converted into Chinese currency, it would be just over 1900 million.

Hong Kong is doing pretty well, having also achieved a result of HK$2200 million.

I have to say that the Hong Kong entertainment industry is indeed very powerful, as such a small market can generate so much box office revenue.

However, as one gains, the other loses. This is already his limit, but it is only the beginning in the mainland market.

The results from the island countries, South Korea, Malaysia and Singapore have not yet been reported to him, but he estimates that they are just a bonus.

It would be good if we could get 1000 million in total.

In fact, including the box office on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, "Secret" has already earned more than 9000 million!

Jay Chou almost achieved the milestone of his debut album grossing over 100 million yuan in the country.

This achievement is worthy of a grand celebration banquet! (End of this chapter)
