Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 342 Don't worry, I will carry the burden for you.
August 24, 2009, the day after tomorrow is Qixi Festival.

The headquarters of Time Media Building began hosting a celebratory banquet to welcome guests at 5 p.m.

This is how (Overheard 1) spent its opening weekend and subsequent four-week run in mainland China.

It has accumulated 4.8 million RMB in box office revenue, and easily surpassed 5 million RMB nationwide with the addition of Hong Kong and Macau.

That's not strong.

But if it continues to be shown in the last week of August? It will definitely gross over 550 million in mainland China.

It was able to briefly break into the top 20 of the all-time box office charts.

This is still a traditional Hong Kong film, and it became a huge hit just like Chasing the Dragon in 2007.

The influence it has generated in various aspects is also considerable.

Deng Chao, Jin Dong, and Jiang Shuying, as the male and female lead team, were the core members of the evening's welcoming guests.

Under the awning outside the first floor of the building, Huang Shengyi got out of the van and joined a group of others as they walked toward the building.

Jiang Shuying strode forward and skillfully displayed her high emotional intelligence and eloquent words.

Huang Shengyi is one of Time's own people.

Those who joined her at the celebration banquet were the outsiders.

These are the producers who assembled and promoted the TV series "A Beautiful Era of Daughter-in-Law".

This summer, the most terrifyingly popular TV drama is definitely "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

However, "A Beautiful Era of Daughter-in-Law" is currently being produced by one of the subsidiaries of CCTV, in conjunction with Beijing TV and Shanghai TV.

It was also highly anticipated by many people in advance.

Huang Shengyi is the female lead, and her co-star is Huang Haibo.

The TV series is still being filmed.

Those who are now crashing the celebration banquet are junior leaders at the director level from CCTV and Beijing TV.

Jiang Shuying invited the person into the hall and made proper arrangements for them.

She then pulled Huang Shengyi to a corner to get the champagne.

"Saint Cloth Sister, that's hilarious."

"Yang Mi has taken on and promoted a new film project called (Peerless), a new work by Director Zhuang."

"She still thinks I'm her biggest competitor. That person is just worrying for no reason."

"Want to give it a try? This sexy woman has been showing off and trying to provoke me quite a bit."

Jiang Shuying is interested in Lao Zhuang's next work (Peerless)? I'm not really tempted.

Her schedule was already very well arranged, and she started filming (If You Are the One 2).

Then there's Xu Ke's 3D shooting template (Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame).

Regardless of whether Lao Zhuang's script is of high quality or whether it will be as explosive as (Overheard 1).

Jiang Shuying is unavailable.

This is the period of nearly two years since Da Mi Mi and Mao Xiaotong got together.

Xiao Jiang also has a good network of connections; she and Liu Shishi are best friends from high school.

She, like Liu Yifei and the others, already knew that the top secretary had risen to power.

But they weren't afraid of the other party; Liu Shishi could become Xiao Jiang's background and a powerful ally.

Furthermore, she, one of the Eight Beauties, is a human gold mine, working diligently to make money for the group.

If the Big Secret doesn't flaunt or provoke, Xiao Jiang will at most mutter and criticize the Big Secret in private.

But if she runs up to you or into your office, bragging that she's also preparing to win a Best Actress award?
Wouldn't it be best if the awards and box office both exploded? She wouldn't mind adding fuel to the fire.

At this stage, the only ones who can compete with Yang Mi for opportunities are the Eight Beauties and the Five Dragon Girls.

The others are all from different social classes.

Huang Shengyi asked curiously, "Director Zhuang's new work? Today is a celebration party for the overheard story, which is enough to prove the potential of the new project, but it's not worth us competing with each other, is it?"

Jiang Shuying clutched her heart with a sour feeling, "Senior brother did this to enhance her competitiveness."

"He's personally instructing and coaching her acting skills again. Doesn't that make you jealous?"

Huang Shengyi felt so jealous she wanted to cry, then shrugged, "Since Senior Brother has personally taken action, what chance do we have?"

This is unless they suddenly rise to power and become the youngest and newest.

Only then will you have the opportunity to ask for one-on-one guidance and instruction.

Then, remembering something else, Huang Shengyi complained again, "Jackie Chan is a bit of a scumbag. I went to Japan to act in a movie (Shinjuku Incident)."

"As a result, it couldn't be released in mainland cinemas, and the film's performance in Hong Kong Bay also flopped."

"The only good thing is the reputation; otherwise, I would have wasted several months of work."

In recent years, starting in the second half of 07, Xiao Huang swept the small screen with "I Hear Your Voice" and dominated the big screen with "Never Ending".

Big screen and small screen fly together.

In 08 and 09, the biggest projects were the Shinjuku Incident and the Era of Daughter-in-Law.

She didn't expect Jackie Chan to have such a record after the Twelve Zodiac Animals.

He's been failing miserably for three to five years in a row!
Jackie Chan's last two years have been marked by global box office failures, with "Rush Hour 3" flopping and his reputation plummeting despite significant box office gains.

It's frustrating that filming in Shinjuku can't be shown in theaters.

Fortunately, after securing the copyright, Time Video secured exclusive online streaming rights.

Xiao Huang once again played the role of a pretty face well, and was praised and lauded by many of her fans.

Jiang Shuying held the little yellow cat and said some nice things. As she spoke, her eyes lit up and she looked in a certain direction. "Is Jay Chou bringing his fake-faced backup dancer to the banquet again?"

She said regretfully again, "I was so stupid back then, but it's too late to regret it now."

Huang Shengyi looked at her cleavage with a similar sense of dejection.

Large-scale cosmetic surgery clinics like Big Secret have risen to prominence.

An obscure model became famous after appearing on the show "Hold the Baby" because of her connection with Jay Chou.

Technology can sometimes be terrifying.

Not far away, Jay Chou was socializing with his girlfriend and a baby.

It seems like they're actively helping the baby expand his network.

After feeling dejected, Huang Shengyi laughed again, "These girls with complicated love histories are so young, they pose no threat to us."

The fake face over there is holding up the baby; she became famous after appearing as a backup dancer at Jay Chou's 07 concert.

In 08, Jay Chou personally selected her to film an advertisement to promote a clothing brand.

Even if they become somewhat famous, they can only connect with the circle of the four most popular young male actors or even smaller ones.

They are not the same kind of people as these popular, high-earning human money-printing machines.

As they were talking, Xiao Huang saw Li Wenyu and Megan Fox, and then Jackie Chan and Winona Ryder walking out of the backstage passage together.

She tugged at Jiang Shuying and quickly stepped forward to flatter her and greet her.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Jackie Chan and Winona took the initiative to leave.

Jiang Shuying asked curiously, "Senior brother, Megan, has that Brother Long approached us with another new project?"

Old Li beckoned a waiter over, handed him a glass of red wine, and nodded. "There are new projects, but I'm not very optimistic about them. Megan also turned them down."

Jackie Chan will likely flop again for another two or three years.

One thing I want to talk about this time is (The Neighborhood Agent).

They want to replicate the success of (accidental killing) and achieve explosive results in both Europe and China.

Strictly speaking, in terms of film quality, The Spy Next Door is several levels below Sheep Without a Shepherd!
This is not a case where a Chinese man marries a beautiful American woman and brings along a few mixed-race or American children; it's not a superficial arrangement that can guarantee success, a good reputation, or the ability to exploit others.

Megan Fox has turned down several roles as the female lead in Transformers 1 and 2.

Pepper Potts (Iron Man)

Then there's the Black Widow character in Iron Man 2.

Even if she went to Hollywood now, she would still be the most legendary among the world's top actresses.

The global success of La La Land was remarkable.

Sheep Without a Shepherd grossed $4800 million in the US and $3100 million in Europe.

Globally, the figure has exceeded 25 billion RMB.

Hollywood media magazines have compiled lists of the world's four new generation of leading actresses, and Megan is always mentioned!

After this summer, she will also be pursuing a doctoral degree in acting at the Beijing Film Academy.

Even if Meghan was relatively quiet from 08 to 09, she didn't release any new film or television works.

He spends all his time hanging around Lao Li, eating and drinking for free.

She remains the most popular and influential among the eight beauties. Jackie Chan offered her a new project? He even approached Winona Ryder beforehand, but Megan still declined.

And Jackie Chan's other project (Kung Fu Dream)? Old Li is speechless.

The original Karate Kid grossed $1.76 million in the US alone, far surpassing The Spy Next Door's $2400 million in the US.

But what is the theme of The Karate Kid?
It was produced by a film company backed by Wall Street capital, and the main storyline is about an American teenager immigrating to China.

The story of being bullied by various Chinese teenagers, and then fighting back and winning.

Jackie Chan is an old man who teaches skills.

In just a few months, a complete American boy was trained into a champion in a martial arts competition!
If Jackie Chan were to take on a film like this in his original career path, it would be a recipe for disaster, much like Jet Li and Danny the Dog or The Mummy 3.

Old Li just complained about how terrible the story of Kung Fu Dream is.

You really should have just not answered!

Megan refused to continue working with Winona and would not film (The Spy Next Door).

Old Li also suggested that Jackie Chan could contact Nina Dobrev.

Nina borrows the beauty of the cyborg from Transformers 2, and the Black Widow from the upcoming Iron Man 2.

She's trying to become a global sensation like Meghan Markle.

Huang Shengyi and Jiang Shuying exchanged a glance, and Xiao Jiang laughed, "Senior brother, your judgment is recognized worldwide. That Brother Long should know how to make choices and give up."

Old Li chuckled, "Alright, stop flattering me, you guys go have fun."

Huang Shengyi quickly tried to be clever, "Senior brother, can we stop filming and just give us some compliments instead?"

Megan laughed. "I didn't want to laugh, but I couldn't help it. Don't worry, I will definitely carry the burden for you."

The summer movie season is nearing its end.

Based on the current trend, (Haeundae) is stronger than The Lives of Others.

Quan Zhixian has a strong influence and appeal, while Tang Yan and He Bing also have their own fan base.

In contrast, the trajectory of (Wolverine) is not as good as that of The Eavesdropping.

This was the early stage of the rise of special effects blockbusters such as Marvel and X-Men.

These two big movies will remain in theaters until just before the National Day holiday.

It is estimated that each of them will have a box office performance of 6 million to 4 million yuan in mainland China.

The films produced or invested in by Time Group during the National Day Golden Week or Lunar New Year holidays.

The project is also in the process of being completed, with major special effects including (A Chinese Ghost Story 5) and (Superbody 2).

Low-budget comedies include (Lost in Thailand).

Add to that the advancement of (Dynasty Warriors) and (Ip Man 2).

Then there's John Wick 4, which is already powered on!
The overall trend is still quite good.

……

After celebrating the nationwide box office success of "Overheard" exceeding 5 million yuan, the 09 summer movie season is steadily coming to an end.

The following months, late August and September, were the peak season for several blockbuster films, including The Lives of Others and Haeundae, which made a fortune.

With the National Day Golden Week approaching.

(Ip Man 2) This kung fu film, which has also cultivated a sense of nostalgia, was launched with a strong promotional campaign.

The biggest difference between Ip Man 2 and the original is that Han Geng replaced Huang Xiaoming as Huang Liang.

Given Huang's current status and influence, he really can't just casually play a supporting role to Donnie Yen.

Unless they have a very strong personal friendship.

There's also Zhou Guangyao, the son of Zhou Qingquan, who was one of the original investors and a wealthy businessman from Dongguan who arranged a role for his own son. Let alone this second installment.

This is the same character from Ip Man 1, also played by Zhu Yilong.

The cake that belonged to the son of a wealthy man in Dongguan was made from the same ingredient as the "Sand Gallbladder Source" in Ip Man 1.

This change can also help Ip Man 2 achieve a larger promotional effect.

Zhu Yilong was the male lead in the 07 film "I Hear Your Voice".

When it aired, the show achieved a peak viewership rating of 38% on the Korean Peninsula and over 25% in mainland China.

This is similar to Chen Kun, who became a sensation after borrowing the temptation to go home.

Zhu Yilong, who plays the second male lead in "So Young," has been promoted to the latest generation of young male stars. The film grossed 8.8 million yuan in mainland China.

Han Geng, whether the male lead or the second male lead (in a supermarket/nightclub), also earned 1.78 million.

(Nightclub/Supermarket) remains Liu Yifei's strongest film representative work to this day.

It was all just for hype and publicity. Liu Yifei even made a cameo appearance in the project, playing Hong Zhennan's eldest daughter.

They had very few scenes.

After all, Hung Chun-nam in Ip Man 2 has a wife, six daughters, and a son.

This also includes a family photo!

Liu Yifei and Han Geng could rekindle their (nightclub/supermarket) CP chemistry for Ip Man 2's promotional tour.

The Big Secret? Yang Mi makes a cameo appearance as a female boxer.

When Ip Man was fighting in the ring, the actress playing the role of a female master watched from the sidelines with a group of female disciples.

She didn't appear on stage; she only had some lines in the spectator shots.

This can be seen as paving the way for the female action star image.

It wasn't until September 29th that the "Big Secret" rushed back to the Beijing Film Academy campus in the afternoon, having just finished her business and walked out of a teaching building.

She was then cornered by Zhang Xinyu, Zhao Liying, and a few others.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Zhao Liying asked curiously, "Sister Mi, are you going to do some promotional tours? I feel like the first Ip Man movie grossed 3.9 million yuan."

"With its star-studded cast and high-quality production, the second film has great box office potential during the eight-day Golden Week holiday."

Like Zhang Xinyu, Zhao Liying also played the role of the female disciple in Ip Man 2.

The big secret was delighted, "I'm not running anymore, I don't have time. If you want to run and show off, you can come with Xinyu."

Even if it's just a casual affair, make more public appearances with Xinyu and Liu Yifei.

"It will also leave a certain impression on the audience."

In an effort to quell the plagiarism controversy, Tong Liya purchased the copyrights to a series of books at the beginning of the year.

The TV series "Empresses in the Palace" (甄嬛传), which has been in preparation for half a year, has started filming. It is set in the fictional Zhou Dynasty of the original novel.

The main character in "The Secret" is Zhen Huan.

This is aimed at creating a top-tier lineup similar to "Return to the Ming Dynasty" and "The Ultimate Family Servant".

It was also after she botched "Du Lala" and before "Lucy 4," which was originally scheduled to start filming in 2011 or 2012.

One of the biggest pie in the world.

This is Xiao Tong's big director project after directing and starring in (Lucy 2).

Her other big project is the female lead in "Peerless", but the script for "Peerless" is still being further improved.

Yang Mi didn't have time to do promotional tours for her cameo role in the movie, since Time Media only invested in Ip Man 33.

The next moment, the big secret couldn't help but complain, "Meghan and I enrolled in master's and doctoral programs one after the other, just to make it more interesting."

"What kind of acting master's program are you guys applying for? Forget about Xinyu, she's alright."

Yang Mi stopped there, too lazy to continue.

What are the current online discussions about highly educated women?
For example, the female PhD student is a running joke in the sitcom "iPartment".

Love Apartment 1 appeared, was filmed, and was broadcast just like the original story.

Wang Chuanjun, Jin Shijia, and Zhao Ji did not appear in the film.

But with the director, Chen He, Sun Yizhou, and Lou Yixiao all still around, the premiere didn't make much of a splash.

I've also watched The Secret in the Sky and thought it was just a passable, ordinary sitcom.

She, Zhang Xinyu, and Zhao Liying were all from the class of 05.

After graduating with my bachelor's degree in the summer, I enrolled in a master's program.

I'm reporting this so that I can represent the female PhD student in eliminating Old Li in the future.

Adds another gimmick.

With her current acting skills of 85+ and her reputation and influence in the industry, it's normal for her to get a master's or doctoral degree in two years by pulling strings.

Zhang Xinyu and Zhao Liying also applied for master's degrees together?
She had a good opinion of Zhang Xinyu, after all, she was a young woman and very beautiful.

Xiao Zhao's is too ordinary.
