The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 469 Zhang Yimou's desire to win, a new song for Liu Yifei

The film market, which had been quiet for almost a year, became hot again this year because of "Curse of the Golden Flower".

The director is Zhang Yimou, a famous domestic director.

If Zhang Yimou's title of the number one director in China was not due to the presence of Brother Chen Kai, it would still be questionable.

So when Chen Kai's two films failed in succession, Zhang Yimou's films continued to be a great success, constantly breaking the mainland film box office records, and he was already showing signs of becoming the country's number one director.

Of course, if Zhang Chen can make another movie with high reputation and high box office after "Love", the only movie he has directed, then Zhang Chen may also be able to compete for this title.

Zhang Chen’s “La La Land” has not been released yet.

Even the publicity hasn't started yet.

Many domestic movie fans don’t know about Zhang Chen’s new movie.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Yimou's "Curse of the Golden Flower" naturally became the only choice in the near future, at least at the end of 06.

Because other works such as Jackie Chan's "Baby Project" made everyone a little disappointed in Jackie Chan.

However, it was Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet" that made everyone begin to agree with the title of Feng Xiaogang a commercial director.

From the previous "A World Without Thieves" to the previous "If You Are the One".

Feng Xiaogang used movies to prove that his movies are popular in the mainland market.

The movie "The Banquet" was his way of competing for awards and countering those who said his movie had substance and was a movie that only vulgar people would watch.

It’s a pity that “The Banquet” had no chance of winning any award due to the competition from “Kung Fu”, “Love” and other correct mainland films.

Fortunately, Feng Xiaogang was not treated unfairly at the box office, and the film once again joined the "1.5 million yuan club" with a box office of million yuan.

Currently, there are only a few mainland movies on the list of "100 million box office club":

1. "Love", box office 2.7 million

2. "Hero", box office 2.5 million

3. "Kung Fu", box office 2.1 million

4. The Banquet, box office: 1.5 million

5. The Promise, box office: 1.1 million

6. Huo Yuanjia, box office: 1.01 million

There are 10 movies in China with box office exceeding 1 million.

The top spot on the list is occupied by Zhang Chen, a “newbie” who just entered the industry.

This gave Zhang Yimou, who has been in this industry for decades, a sense of mission to return to glory.

In his eyes, Zhang Chen might have come to the film industry to "play".

Wouldn't it be too embarrassing if I, a person who regards film-making as a lifelong belief, could not compare to someone who came here for fun?

So he was originally directing the opera "Qin Shi Huang" in the United States, but on the day of the premiere he put down his work and rushed to the scene in person to liven up the atmosphere.

Besides that, Jay Chou, who was hired to attract young people in the movie, did not disappoint him.

The Beijing Film Studio is filled with posters and stills of "Curse of the Golden Flower", like a sea of gold.

In the constructed "harem", there are exquisite and brilliant screens, palace lanterns and chrysanthemums everywhere. The ushers are dressed as palace maids, making it extremely luxurious.

The red carpet show, originally scheduled to start at 7pm, was delayed by nearly half an hour. The cold wind could not stop the enthusiasm of the fans, and a large number of fans gathered beside the red carpet at 5pm.

As soon as Jay Chou stepped onto the red carpet, he caused a commotion. The temporary palace gate almost collapsed, and the chrysanthemum pots placed beside the red carpet were broken one after another. The ground was covered with yellow flowers, which looked like the scene in "Curse of the Golden Flower". No wonder Tao Jingying joked at the ceremony: "When I came in, I suddenly felt an elephant running behind me, and I knew it was Jay Chou.

As I walked along, I heard the sound of many chrysanthemum pots being trampled and crushed. The road was in chaos. There were also many fans who couldn’t get in and were attacking the city. ”

"As expected, everyone still prefers Jie Lun. We old guys weren't so popular when we came in."

Zhang Yimou looked at the chaotic scene with a smile.

It’s messy, but he is happy in the mess.

This scene made him extremely glad that he chose Jay Chou to play the role of the prince in the movie.

At the same time, I couldn't help but enjoy how Jay Chou could cause such a sensation.

What if Zhang Chen played the role in his movie?
Zhang Yimou couldn't help but think of the variety shows that Chenguang Entertainment had produced in the past.

The people who came to maintain order in the Morning Light Building were still fresh in his memory.

"Director Zhang?"

"Ah?" Zhang Yimou shook his head, forgetting this unrealistic hope. "What's wrong?"

"I just asked you what your box office expectations are for your new movie?"

"Oh," Zhang Yimou straightened his expression and said, "The box office is not important, but I hope to break my own record."

“You mean more than 2.7 million?”

"That's right!" Zhang Yimou almost let it slip, and quickly added, "You added 2000 million to the box office of my "Hero"? You make up the rest?"

Wu Zongxian chuckled and didn't try to expose Zhang Yimou's little thoughts.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this time Zhang Yimou was intending to compete with Zhang Chen.

He just doesn't dare to say it.

If Zhang Chen gets the urge to let his Morning Light Cinemas give Zhang Yimou a "hell", Zhang Yimou will be in trouble.

It is hard to say whether Zhang Chen will do this, but Zhang Yimou is afraid.

So don’t set your goal to surpass Zhang Chen. There is no difference between surpassing 2.5 million and 2.7 million anyway.

What Zhang Yimou said on the surface was: surpass yourself.

But what he was thinking in his heart was: surpassing Zhang Chen and returning to the top of the mainland movie box office.

This movie did not disappoint Zhang Yimou's expectations.

It earned 2000 million yuan on the first day of its release, breaking the mainland film premiere record of "Love" right away.

With assistants such as Jay Chou and Gong Li, the film attracted a large number of audiences to the theaters with its huge star lineup, grand production scenes and pre-publicity campaign, and the box office continued to soar.

Not only did it break the mainland's box office record on the first day, it also shocked many people in the mainland film and television industry with a box office of 1.5 million in the first weekend.

"This old man has been silent for a long time. He is still busy with the Olympics. I thought his box office record would always be occupied by Zhang Chen, a 'newcomer'."

"As expected, Lao Mouzi is still Lao Mouzi. He brought such a high visual enjoyment to everyone right from the start. The grand scene is really comfortable to watch."

"For everyone, what they want to see is the grand spectacle of Lao Mouzi. I believe no one in China can compare to him."

“You all think this movie is good, but why do I only care about those actresses?”

"People with a heart see everything as dirty, so who do you think is the greatest?"

"Jie Lun's performance in the movie is pretty good, but I wonder when Zhang Chen will appear in the movie?"

"Want to let Zhang Chen come back as an actor? Even if it's an international director from the United States, it's impossible, unless..."

"Brother upstairs, tell me, who has the potential to make Zhang Chen an actor again? Whether it succeeds or not is another matter, but we have to give it a try, right?"

"Do you think Liu Yifei can convince Zhang Chen to play a role in her movie if she becomes a director?"

"Don't say it! Don't say it!"

This conversation completely derailed the entire discussion of the movie "Curse of the Golden Flower".

Everyone started talking about how Jie Lun's role in the movie made the movie a big hit at the box office, and then talked about when Zhang Chen, the recognized top singer in the mainland, would be able to return to the screen.

Zhang Chen’s previous roles in TV dramas are eternal classics in many people’s hearts.

At that time, they wondered when Zhang Chen would be able to play a role in a movie.

Unfortunately, Zhang Chen's career was too smooth. He hadn't been an actor in TV dramas for long before he was directly promoted to the king of the world music scene.

At that time, his TV series allowed many people to play the role of Zhang Chen in Jin Yong dramas such as Zhang Wuji, which made Jin Yong get a great deal.

Now that Zhang Chen is the richest Chinese, why let him be an actor?

Don't even think about it!
I don't know if it's because those who wanted to see Zhang Chen in the movie didn't give up, or what, but the old story was suddenly brought up again. Many people treated it as a joke, after all, it was impossible to think about it.

But I’m afraid that some people will take it seriously.

"So, if I become a movie director, will you be the star of my movie?"

Zhang Chen was speechless as he looked at Liu Yifei with a serious expression.

Did this little girl really take netizens’ teasing seriously?

"You're worried that I'm not busy enough, right?"

"Be busy, you'd better be busy. You are still so young, why do you always lie down like an old man?"

"Hahahahaha" Zhang Chen sneered and looked down at Liu Yifei, "Student Liu, have you ever considered yourself when you said this?"

"I" Liu Yifei scratched her head awkwardly, "I'm just conserving my energy, who told you to do that every night..."

"Then don't want it anymore?"

"That won't work!"

There was no way she could refuse. She now wanted to overturn her previous ideas.

It's always like "scratching an itch through the shoe", it just feels like there is such a huge difference.

I heard from several girls in the company that that kind of thing seems to be very
I didn’t have any special feelings before.

But when she realized that Zhang Chen might be in danger in the near future, her thoughts began to change quietly.

if it is true
You have to keep something to think about, right?
Liu Yifei quietly looked up at Zhang Chen who was struggling with the musical score.

After taking two glances, he shook his head vigorously.

No, no, how could anything go wrong?
Definitely not!

Don't think about this kind of thing!

Ominous!
"Bah bah bah!"

"What are you doing?" Zhang Chen looked at Liu Yifei, who suddenly spitted, with a strange look on his face, "Did something dirty get into your mouth?"

He was writing songs just fine, what's wrong with this girl?

"Yes, there is something dirty!" Liu Yifei nodded seriously.

The dirty things you think of are also dirty things.
"Nervous." Zhang Chen shook his head and continued to work with his head down.

Liu Yifei moved closer to Zhang Chen and looked at him with her chin propped up.

After seeing this, he was distracted again.

It seems like the two have known each other for many years?
I seemed to hate this guy before?

Thinking of the experiences that Zhang Chen had cheated her through since she was a child, Liu Yifei couldn't help but grit her teeth.

It's so nasty!

The song "Brother Xiao Fang" is a "nightmare" that she will never forget in her life!
She rolled her eyes, approached Zhang Chen and said cautiously, "Brother, can you write another song for me?"

Zhang Chen looked at the little girl who seemed a little abnormal today with surprise again.

He lowered his head and started working again, without even looking up, he asked, "What do you want to hear?"

It’s just “writing” a song, it’s no big deal.

Just don't dwell on the fact that you asked him to be an actor before.

He could still distinguish between things that could be done in a few minutes and things that could take several months.

Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Chen who looked indifferent and couldn't help but feel envious.

In this regard, Zhang Chen is still so proud and talented.

"hey-hey."

Thinking that she had taken down such a person, Liu Yifei couldn't help but laugh secretly.

This laughter made Zhang Chen look up at her again.

Subsequently
He lowered his head and started working again.

This girl is always abnormal for a few days in a month.

He's used to it.

"Tell me, what kind of song do you want?"

"want"

Liu Yifei suddenly stood up and patted Zhang Chen on the shoulder: "Look at me, just write a song based on my image!"

As if she had thought of something, she quickly added, "It has to fit my image! I can't release a spoof song like I did before!"

Zhang Chen turned his head and looked Liu Yifei up and down for a long time.

His eyes stayed on a certain place for a long time, and he nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes?"

"So fast!?" Liu Yifei was surprised.

She came close to Zhang Chen, leaned over and grabbed Zhang Chen's hand and asked anxiously: "Quick, quick, sing to me!"

She knew Zhang Chen was fast, but she didn't expect him to be so fast.

In the past, when I wrote songs, I would at least think about it and use some instruments to play a few melodies to create them.

Now you really get inspiration just by looking at her a few times?
"Tell me, have you prepared this for me a long time ago and want to give me a surprise?" Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Chen with a smile, "Don't be embarrassed if I reveal it to you!"

"Which eye of yours is embarrassed to see me?" Zhang Chen turned around and looked at Liu Yifei, who looked very proud. "But after watching you for a long time, inspiration comes quickly."

"Then sing quickly!"

“Wait till I finish writing this song?”

"No, I want to listen now!"

Zhang Chen put down his pen helplessly and looked at the little girl who was particularly clingy today.

Is it the luteal phase?
That’s not right. He remembers it was not this day?

However, he couldn't guess what the girl was thinking, so he could only get up helplessly and pick up a guitar from the wall of the music room.

"So I sang?"

“Sing, sing, sing!”

Liu Yifei moved a small stool and placed it in front of Zhang Chen, supporting her chin with her hands and looking up at Zhang Chen with great anticipation for his next performance.

Zhang Chen looked at the little girl with great anticipation.

When he thought about what he was going to sing next, he couldn't help but laugh.

After finally suppressing his smile, he stared at a certain spot with a straight face for a few seconds before he began to sing:
"Only ghosts sleep on their stomachs, that's not their backs
Miss, my proud figure is called natural beauty
Please command the flight to arrive at the station.
Please allow me to land at the airport and rest for a while.

You said that the sunset was beautiful
I said I would go early and come back early, but I never came back.

Who am I waiting for in this empty airport?

Who landed and stayed for how long and who took off again
Time is like flowing water, and I don't care anymore

I am busy at the airport and someone comforts me

"

Liu Yifei: “???!!!!!!”

"Zhang Chen!!!!!!!"

　Hey! I didn't say Lao Liu is an airport!

　　I don't!
