Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 110 Yang Mi (44)

The Expendables is still fierce...

Although it was criticized for its simple plot after its release, it still couldn't stop movie fans from feeling nostalgic for the film.

6500 million in the first weekend and 8000 million in the second week!

The old guys can still fight.

Of course, this movie is not the biggest rival of "8 Architecture" - on August 26, "Shrek Forever After" was also released, and it took in 4 million in the box office in the first three days of the weekend!

The film "Introduction to Architecture" was squeezed to only 15% of the schedule...

So, we only got 2800 million in the third week.

According to this trend, the maximum box office before it is withdrawn will be 1.7 million.

Although we have made a lot of money, no one is very happy...

Li Xiaoping privately complained, "If it weren't for The Expendables, 'Introduction to Architecture' would definitely have broken 200 million!"

I can only say that the airborne release of "The Expendables" was unexpected...

But a group of people have made a fortune.

Oh, back to the conversation, when Shen Yan mentioned Inception, Han Dong interrupted, "I saw online that Inception is hard to understand?"

"…It's just a propaganda trick! How hard can a movie be to understand?"

Chen Xiao continued: "...I watched an interview with Leonardo DiCaprio, and he said he couldn't understand the script at all!"

Shen Yan said, "It's coming out on the 3rd anyway, let's go watch it together then!"

"Um…"

Qiao Zhenyu was grinding coffee on the side... After the three of them finished chatting, he also happened to have made coffee...

One cup per person!
After tasting it, Shen Yan's face turned bitter...

This taste is quite complex, not purely bitter, but a bit sour... uh, it smells like pot water... Anyway, he can't accept it!

But I was too embarrassed to spit it out directly... so I forced myself to swallow it.

Noticing Han Dong's apparent enjoyment, Chen Xiao kept his composure and put down his cup.

Just like Shen Yan, I’m determined not to drink a second sip!
Then Qiao Zhenyu rolled his eyes at Shen Yan and Chen Xiao in disdain: "Waste of my beans!"

“…Old Joe, is this good?”

“I think it’s okay…”

“It’s addictive!”

"That's better than drugs!"

Well, one sentence silenced the three of them...

Han Dong took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and asked, "Want to smoke?"

"…Walk!"

……

"Inception" is awesome - before it was even released, it topped the IMDB science fiction movie list of TOP100!
The previous number one spot was… Star Wars: Episode II – The Empire Strikes Back…

In fact, simply from the perspective of avant-garde and experimental nature, "Inception" is no match for Nolan's masterpiece "Memento".

But movie fans around the world would rather give "Inception" a higher score.

Inception was indeed difficult to film...

Dreams and reality, and multiple dreams...

If Jiang Wen were to film this... forget it. Jiang Wen filmed "One Step Away," and the damn beauty pageant was filmed beautifully, with beautiful legs flying everywhere, but the main storyline was delayed by half an hour...

In any case, the plot of "One Step Away" is dragged out, the story is thin, and the structure is confusing... The structure of "Inception" is actually not too complicated. It is basically a layered structure, but outside the layers, there is an extension of consciousness, and the extension of consciousness once again confuses reality and dreams.

This kind of story structure with multiple lines and multiple dimensions will become a bad movie if there is any mistake!

But Nolan did it beautifully!
The beginning, development, transition and ending of "Inception" are all convincing and do not feel abrupt or shocking.

By the way, this movie also saved Leonardo's precarious box office appeal

Before "Inception", he hadn't made a movie that broke 200 million in North America and exceeded 500 million at the global box office for ten consecutive years!
——The last box office hit, "Catch Me If You Can," grossed $1.65 million in North America and $3.52 million worldwide...

So far, he has collaborated with Martin on "The Aviator," "Gangs of New York," "Shutter Island," and "The Departed." The best-selling film is "The Departed," which grossed $1.32 million in North America and $2.91 million worldwide, followed by "Shutter Island," which grossed $1.28 million in North America and $2.95 million worldwide.

It still can't be compared with "Inception". As of now, "Inception" has been released in North America for two months, with a cumulative box office of 2.8 million US dollars, and the global box office has exceeded 7 million US dollars!
——The film has yet to be released in China and Italy!

Oh, Shen Yan received the news that "Inception" will be advanced by three days and will be released directly on September 9st.

Good boy, now it seems that "Introduction to Architecture" will not be able to make 1.8 million...

1.7 million is at stake!

The Expendables, Shrek for Life, Inception…

There is no way to survive.

Is it necessary to pursue and intercept so many people for a romantic movie with a budget of 1000 million?
It can also be seen that the light really has no presence at all.

……

On the afternoon of the 31st, Shen Yan finished an interview with "Watching Movies" in the hotel's reception room. The main topic was "What are his thoughts on the box office of "Introduction to Architecture" exceeding 1.5 million yuan?"

"I've read a lot of reviews, and they all say the school days are more interesting. This shows that nostalgia and school elements have a market!"

"Our mainstream audience is gradually shifting towards those born in the 80s and 85s... They learn about the world through the internet, and this audience consumes a lot of films, so you have to find their empathy points..."

Shen Yan pretended to be...

An interview is a process of showing off!

Shen Yan loves to show off - what's the point of art if he doesn't show off?
Besides showing off, he also specifically mentioned Li Bingbing: "I'm most grateful to Sister Bingbing... Without her joining, there would be no way to get investment!"

"Most of our investors invest based on the genre and cast. Thanks to Sister Bingbing, we were able to quickly launch the project, start filming quickly, and get it released in August!"

When asked if they could work together again, Shen Yan nodded and admitted, "...probably. I wrote another script for her and we'll probably start filming in two months."

“…I can’t tell you what the script is about…I can only say that the new movie is called ‘The Beauty Inside’!”

“I’ll also be in…”

"Currently, we don't have enough money, and we haven't decided on the actors or the director yet. Please feel free to contact my agent!"

Uh, the last sentence was a joke...

But it is also true that the director has not made a decision yet!

According to Shen Yan's idea, Chen Zhengdao could be chosen to film the role, but Ji Xiang and Li Bingbing prefer You Dazhi...

In fact, both of them can do it - the most important thing about "Inner Sister" is the soft color tone... Any director with good technical skills can handle this.

After finishing the interview, he went to the training room...

After changing clothes and preparing for training, I felt that the atmosphere was not right, so I looked around... Oh my god, there are girls!

Uh...it’s Yang Mi!

Shen Yan was stunned...

At first, I only glanced at it occasionally, and then I just stole a few seconds from time to time...

Yang Mi probably noticed Shen Yan peeking at her, and walked over gracefully: "Hello, I'm Yang Mi..."

Brother Yan quickly greeted: "Yang Mi...I'm Shen Yan." By the way, he explained: "I didn't expect to see you here!"
