Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 348 A Real Money Printing Machine with Several Times the Health Bar

Two hours later.

Mao Xiaotong, who seemed incredibly insightful, laughed and said, "Senior brother, it feels like Jackie Chan's TV series version (The Myth) has been a disaster again."

"Two episodes will premiere on New Year's Day."

"It's almost the finale, and the average viewership rating is only 5%, with a peak of over 7%."

"Even if it's a general trend for audiences to leave the small screen, the results are still a bit too poor."

As early as two years ago, Jackie Chan and Emperor Entertainment were planning a small-screen version of The Myth.

When they went to find Hu Ge, he declined the offer time and time again, saying he didn't want to perform.

It's not that the pay wasn't enough.

Did Lao Hu act in one or two seasons of "Back to Ming"? It's comparable to that kind of super exciting novel.

The male lead in the mythological TV series is too strict with others but lenient with himself.

He didn't approach it from the perspective of an actor, but from the perspective of an audience member.

It's highly likely that Yi Xiaochuan's character will be heavily criticized.

That's why I haven't accepted this book.

Ultimately, the male lead in the mythology series was Zhu Yilong, and Zhu Yilong's appearance in period costume was quite good.

In 2007, the show achieved a viewership rating of over 38% in South Korea and over 25% in mainland China.

Even if this were in 08 or 09, the mainland viewership rating standard would have dropped to 20%.

Still the king of dramas.

Even so, it premiered with the power of a top idol.

The second male lead is a modern-day Gao Yao, while the ancient Zhao Gao is played by He Bing.

He Bing is two years younger than the original actor, and his acting skills are even better.

Zhu Yawen makes a cameo appearance as Yi Dachuan!
The female lead, Yu Shu, is played by Zhang Bozhi. Zhang Bozhi contributed many memorable idol scenes in the second season of Back to Ming Dynasty.

The second female lead is Gao Lan in the modern era, and Xiao Yue in the ancient era is played by Wang Zixuan.

The sisters Lü Zhi and Lü Su, numbers three and four, are Zhang Xinyu and Mao Xiaotong.

Overall, the lineup is top-tier.

The 8.8 million yuan box office success of "So Young" starring Xiaotong in mainland China is no joke.

She took on the role at a drastically reduced salary, and even lowered her status, because she was actually persuaded and tricked by Zhang Xinyu.

After all, she and that Xiao Zhang were roommates for four years!
Zhao Liying, who was my roommate, played Meng Jiangnu.

Zhang Xinyu was recommended by Zhang Xinyu for the role of the third female lead in the TV series "The Best Housekeeper," which also achieved a viewership rating of over 20%.

With the help of the best servants, after the summer vacation of 09.

Jing Tian, ​​Ni Ni, and Zhang Xinyu are also rising stars who have recently become very popular.

From Mao Xiaotong and Zhang Xinyu to Wang Zixuan's popularity in the 8D era.

The highest increase exceeded 7%, with an average of 5%?

During the filming of the third season of Back to the Ming Dynasty, Hu Ge complained more than once that he was glad he didn't take the lead role.

Otherwise, it would have been a major setback in his career.

As for Mao Xiaotong himself, after filming wrapped up in November 2008 (So Young),

She joined Zhao Baogang's film crew to work with Lu Yi, and played the second female lead, Wang Luodan (My Youth, Who Decides).

Since its premiere in April 2009, this drama achieved a peak viewership rating of 12% during its first run and subsequent reruns.

This is thanks to the movie "So Young"!
Xiaotong had a very fulfilling year in 09.

One work after another emerged, although it was far from being a top-tier drama like "Back to the Ming Dynasty" or "The Best Housekeeper".

Her consistent output of works has also led to a steady increase in her status and popularity.

If you were to ask her what her biggest regret is, it would be every time the construction period begins.

There's no way to stay at headquarters and feel completely comfortable and relaxed every day.

Old Li accepted the herbal tea that Dong Xuan brought him and said with a smile, "It's a flop, but the reaction from some viewers was alright."

"By the way, I'll be flying to Japan this year to produce a 3D version of Superbody 3."

"Would you like to come along and film the second season of (Justice Is the Winner)?"

The business battles of the past have frightened many people.

But once it enters a new phase, the island nation market can once again be considered a garden.

Mao Xiaotong nodded hurriedly.

The first season of the TV series "Legal High" achieved a peak viewership rating of over 15% in mainland China.

This is 25% higher than "Who Decides My Youth".

Dong Xuan also laughed and said, "By the way, senior brother, Tangren bought the rights to a novel (Scarlet Heart) and wants to make it into a TV series. The female lead has sent me a contract."

"I think it's more relevant to female viewers."

"Is this somewhat similar to the appeal of 'The Return of the Ming Dynasty' and 'The Best Housekeeper' to male viewers?"

As she spoke, Dong Xuan laughed and bent over, "I'm 31 years old. It's not that I'm ageless and don't age. At this age, I simply can't portray the state of a naive young girl."

"Internally, they wanted Guo Biting to play the lead role and Liu Xinyou to play the second lead."

"But if they want to attract young actors like Deng Chao, Huang Xiaoming, and Jin Dong to join the cast, they would still prefer to cast me as the female lead."

Dong Xuan's casual hairstyle makes her look even more delicate and fresh than the Snow Goddess Dragon.

With her acting skills, she could easily replace Liu Shishi in the original "Scarlet Heart".

Old Li shook his head, "I don't really like Qing Dynasty dramas, and you don't need them, so turn it down."

Tangren (the Tang Dynasty) wants Dong Xuan to be removed from the stage.

It attracted top male stars to help "Scarlet Heart" boost its status and influence.

They want too much.

Otherwise, only ordinary actresses would get involved, and Old Li wouldn't care about such things.

This world is fraught with peril.

Even the original version of The Great Secret, "The Offering of Love," couldn't match the brilliance of the Ming Dynasty.

Dong Xuan and Mao Xiaotong nodded hurriedly, a mixture of curiosity and suspicion in their expressions.
Before they could say anything more, Old Li smiled and said, "Xiao Quan has taken on a movie (Sunny Sisters). If you're interested, you can go to the Peninsula to film it in 10."

"Just coordinate your schedules."

"She plays the lead role, and you play the second and third leads. The box office and critical reception should both be good."

In this version, Jeon Ji-hyun receives a script from a screenwriter and starts a group of sunny girlfriends.

The biggest advantage is the female lead team, who can play both the teenage and adult versions themselves.

They use different makeup styles to distinguish between 17- or 18-year-old girls and women in their 40s.

As for gaining weight or other different styles?

Old Li's family can gain and lose weight effortlessly, it's incredibly effective.

The appearance of a middle-aged person with sagging cheeks can also be enhanced with realistic skin-like props.

When Mao Xiaotong reignited the debate over eating elephants, he laughed and said, "Our acting skills are all passable. As for the other minor supporting roles, should we give Xiao Zhao a chance to try?"

"My best friend, whom I've known for almost five years, is also slowly growing up."

"Xinyu doesn't need to. A group of female leads can't all be too beautiful."

"Xiao Zhao and I have more ordinary-looking faces than most girls."

Old Li, “…”

Try out roles like the fourth female lead; interview opportunities are definitely not a big deal.

He felt that Xiaotong had some misunderstanding about the faces of ordinary girls!

……

February 9th, the 2th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Old Li inspected Weibo, 360 Group, and then Renren and WeChat's various branches.

When they returned to the media headquarters, they happened to run into Li Jiaxin and Gulnazar after they finished a promotional tour.

There's not much to say; he immediately transformed into a post-operative healthcare expert.

For the past two weeks, Gulnazar and Dilraba have been doing promotional tours every day.

At most, they only travel to major cities north of the Yangtze River.

They maintained a routine of leaving early and returning late.

The media headquarters charters private planes from various airlines, and sometimes when they fly a little further, they have to depart at five in the morning and not return until after nine at night.

They have experience in running away with someone's money.

(Lucy 2) had 45% of the screenings in mainland China in its second week, and grossed 3.29 million yuan in seven days.

This is equivalent to a cumulative total of 4.57 million in mainland China.

The first four days of the third week saw 1.84 million.

Four days ago, "Lost in Thailand" was released, taking away 20% of the screenings.

The figure for "Superbody" was lowered to 35%, and the figure for the next three days was 1.05 million, bringing the total to 2.89 million in the third week.

This means that after 17 days of release, the film grossed 7.46 million RMB, which is equivalent to over 100 million USD. Extending the run until after the Lantern Festival, reaching 1.2-1.3 billion RMB or even higher shouldn't be difficult.

On the internet, in the final post-credits scene of Lucy 2.

Iron Man Tony Stark also flew to the East Asian seas for his official debut.

Robert Downey Jr., dressed in armor, gazes at Tong Liya from afar on a large cruise ship, several miles away.

They appeared in the same frame!

This even excited many viewers who missed the post-credits scene to watch the movie a second or third time.

A crossover between superheroes from the East and West is just the beginning.

It still thrilled countless movie fans to the point of emotional explosion.

A similar situation occurred in the fourth week of Avatar's release, when it had 40% of the screenings and grossed 3.3 million yuan.

Week 5: 2.92 million.

Its screening rate dropped to 30%, and its occupancy rate was far less than it had been in the previous weeks.

This doesn't prevent it from easily surpassing Lucy 2 at the box office.

The ticket prices are doubled or even several times higher than usual, which is outrageous.

This achievement has already topped the list of the all-time best-selling films in mainland China!
That's 1100 million more than (Dear)'s 16.13 billion.

(Avatar) The total cumulative revenue in mainland China over 35 days was RMB 16.24 billion = USD 2.4 million.

Including the HK$1.4 million from Hong Kong Island, what about the Taiwan team's record?
Avatar has grossed $2.7 million in China.

It's still far from matching the original US domestic box office of $7.5 million accumulated in one year.

But China's performance in the box office easily propelled it to second place globally!
It's hard to say for mainland China alone, but the probability of it eventually exceeding 20 billion RMB across all of China is extremely high.

In contrast, Deng Chao, Tang Yan, Sun Li, and others were frantically running around doing promotional tours (Lost in Thailand).

They achieved a record of 6000 million over the first three-day weekend.

A road comedy that is completely different from big-budget sci-fi movies like Avatar and Lucy 2.

This also allowed Tang Yan, a young actress who had been working in obscurity for several years, to once again accumulate a large following of fans who admire her beautiful legs.

In a few days, A Chinese Ghost Story 5 will be released, and it will be the same old big special effects and big production value.

This will inevitably lead to a continued backlog of screenings for (Lost in Thailand).

Its final data estimate is similar to that of "If You Are the One 2," where breaking 3 million would be a huge profit.

However, in terms of reputation and IP development, Lost in Journey is much better than If You Are the One 2 and Agent.

The hype surrounding Avatar has also subsided significantly.

The screening rate will continue to be drastically reduced on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Ultimately, it depends on long-term trends and film scheduling.

As for whether A Chinese Ghost Story 5 can surpass Avatar?
Zhang Guorong continues to be one of the four mentors on "The Voice of China," bombarding the small screen for an extended period.

There's also Wang Zuxian's own appeal.

Then there's Liu Yifei's portrayal of the beautiful and glamorous villainous queen, proving that even villains can have appeal.

The most important thing is the special effects.

This actress's stunning beauty on the big screen is even more convincing than Wan Qian's in the fourth installment.

Starting in 2007, Xiao Liu played the second female lead in the TV series "Return to Ming" for three consecutive years.

Even though her screen time and amount of screen time are decreasing.

She was gradually replaced by Zhang Bozhi, Alexandra Daddario, and Zhao Liying.

However, the accumulated fan base is several times larger than the original trajectory.

After 2007 (nightclubs/supermarkets).

Not counting other minor or cameo appearances, such as in (Ip Man 2).

(A Chinese Ghost Story V) marks her return to the big screen as the second female lead after several years!
She generated a lot of buzz during the promotional tour for Ip Man 2.

It's like a real money-printing machine with several times the health bar.

Rosamund Kwan, who plays the third female lead, and Lau Tao, who plays a high-ranking human cultivator, also continue to appear on screen.

That's quite an appeal.

Old Li helped Ah Xin, Nazha, and the others replenish their energy and stamina, including relieving their fatigue.

Naza laughed and said, "Boss, I heard that Shishi has landed another serialized novel adaptation, 'The Diary of 33 Days of Heartbreak'."

"We plan to adapt it into a film or television series this year."

"This novel was just published as a book after being serialized online last month."

"She thinks it's more reliable than (Du Lala's Promotion Diary), so she probably won't go into online movies."

"She wants me to play the second female lead, a girl from Henan province with a Taiwanese accent, and you'd like to play her fiancé?"

Old Li paused for a few seconds, then asked, "Who is the female lead?"

Naza happily said, "The original character design for the serialized diary is that the characters are of average appearance, not outstanding, and have a flat figure. She is considering casting Wang Luodan or Tang Wei, Tang Yan, Guo Zhenni, and others."

It refers to the character descriptions in the original work.

Liu Shishi then took the initiative to let Nazha audition for the second female lead.

Currently, around the Spring Festival, various projects for Superbody 3 are under construction, and costumes, props, and sets are being designed.

From model making onwards, everything is progressing steadily in both Nakajima and Nakajima.

Before filming begins in April or May, she and Lao Li can easily secure cameo roles.

Old Li suddenly realized, "That's fine too, a cameo is no big deal."

This is a way to relax and clear your head, after all the hard work on technological research and development.

This story would be alright for a summer movie season.

The next moment he lit a cigarette, "Besides Lucy 3 this year, we can also start preparing for (The Hunger Games 1). We'll see how things go then."

"Including (The Martian), 10 were launched and 11 were filmed."

Just like Lucy 2, Hollywood rushed the production, either because they didn't have the time or didn't want to put in too much effort.

The AI ​​server room at the media headquarters can handle special effects with high efficiency.

Naza excitedly tried to flatter him with her smooth talk.

But besides wanting the lead role, she also hoped to team up with John Lee as a couple to test the waters in The Hunger Games 1.

While I was busy, my secret friend knocked on the door and snuck in.

Upon hearing about the big-budget film plans for the next year or two, the big secret agent excitedly urged, "Nazha, keep up the good work! I'm coming to enjoy this love bombardment!"

"Apart from films that align with the Marvel Cinematic Universe concept."

"Our local science fiction, besides my senior, also includes 'The Rural Teacher' and 'The Wandering Earth'."

"With the addition of numerous mythological IPs, we won't have to worry about food and drink for the next ten years."

"I just feel that the Xianxia and Xuanhuan IPs that are comparable to Huiming and Jipin Jiading are too disappointing."

"Wouldn't it be too difficult to create those special effects where the main characters crush planets with one hand?"

Old Li said, half-laughing and half-crying, "At most, I can only develop robots and drones."

This is far inferior to novels such as Stellar Transformation, A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, and Rebellion of Immortals.

The popularity of historical fiction categories has been bombarded by a series of shows, from "Back to the Ming Dynasty" and "The Household Servant" to "Empresses in the Palace".

It's far superior to fantasy and martial arts novels.

This still couldn't stop the birth of great classic and popular articles.

After all, the original authors weren't good at compressing Stellar Transformations and Mortals into the historical genre.

This is a matter of specialization.

After raking in hundreds of millions of dollars in hot money, Nazha said in a cute way, "I remember the animated series (Zhu Xian) produced by the animation department, which was quite popular."

"It's no worse than Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf."

"How about adapting it into a live-action movie someday?"

Old Li laughed and said, "It's alright, we'll see how it goes."

The animation department of Time Media was officially established in 2005.

We secured the animation rights for "Zhu Xian" in September 2005, and have been working on it ever since.

It wasn't broadcast on television much.

Similar to the Breaking Bad series, it will be available on Mtime.

Its cumulative viewership over the years is no less than that of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf.

That's the result of so much time and effort spent building up the animation industry!
The biggest problem is that it's difficult to tell the whole story of a long novel in a single film.

Naza laughed and said, "Why not make it like the Harry Potter series? Divide it into multiple parts?"

The production of "Back to Ming and the Household Servant" was aimed at achieving a standard production of over 100 episodes and multiple seasons.

Old Li, “…”

The Harry Potter film series, consisting of eight movies.

If it weren't for the legal issues, the sixth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean series would have been released long ago before his rebirth.
