I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Wu Baige also learned about the box office performance of "Three Kingdoms" and that Cheng Sheng had attacked him in front of the media after the premiere.

Cheng Sheng also exposed his past misdeeds in Hollywood.

"Damn it, you bastard, he was nowhere to be found when I was making this movie."

Wu Baige cursed wildly.

But I had no idea what to do.

Last time, they asked Avex to find people in Hong Kong to help smear Cheng Sheng, and even tried to use the relationship between the two places to provoke conflict so as to teach Cheng Sheng a lesson.

But to everyone's surprise, that scoundrel was so cunning that he didn't fall for the trap and instead used a strategy of using one enemy against another.

In this way, the conflict between the two places was directly transferred to the conflict between Hong Kong and Little Sunshine Company.

Moreover, the lawyers sent by Nikkatsu have sued thousands of people, including hundreds of people who are related to him and are trying to help him.

These people are all coming to him to claim their losses.

But how could he possibly come up with so much money?

Because of this, he fell out with all his former friends.

Most importantly, they were warned by the State Administration of Radio and Television, and even the movie originally scheduled for the summer season was postponed to September.

From competing with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to giving way to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," how could he not be angry and upset?

But he couldn't do anything about it; he couldn't fight city hall.

Even though he is an internationally renowned director, he was caught red-handed in that incident and had no choice but to back down.

"No, I can't give up."

He admitted that Cheng Sheng's film "Three Kingdoms" was of good quality, but he was still not satisfied.

He secretly went to the cinema to watch "Three Kingdoms" on its premiere day.

He initially wanted to find fault, but he found that both the plot and the actors' performances were excellent.

Most importantly, he himself became completely engrossed in watching it.

After leaving the theater, he remained silent for a long time, because Cheng Sheng's film seemed to completely overwhelm his own "Red Cliff".

Lost.

No, he still has a chance.

He discovered the only flaw in Cheng Sheng's film: the cast was too weak.

Apart from Chen Daoming, a big name in the industry, the rest are either veteran actors, obscure actors, or newcomers to the film industry.

His films' biggest advantage is their star-studded cast.

After the premiere of "Red Cliff" ends, if he asks all the actors of "Red Cliff" to gather and then go on a crazy roadshow, he might be able to boost the film's box office.

The day "Three Kingdoms" broke its box office record, it was featured on official media and even mentioned in a news report by CCTV, which shows how sensational the news was.

"Three Kingdoms" is a domestically produced historical epic that rivals any Hollywood film.

The film's narrative techniques are breathtaking; watching it in a theater is like experiencing a life story.

[The director's ability to tell history is truly impressive, and the plot is completely historically accurate. Of course, there are artistic embellishments, such as the line "I, Zhang Jiao, invite the great man to his death," which sounds very powerful but doesn't conform to historical facts. I'm not criticizing the director, but rather wanting him to respect historical facts.]

The battle scenes in the movie were so realistic that they instantly transported the audience back to that era of constant warfare and heroic figures.

History tells us that every era has a figure who stirs up the winds of change. The late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period was originally the era of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, but before that, Zhang Jiao was the only figure who stirred up the winds of change.

[A truly stunning and excellent domestic film.]

[This is the kind of historical war epic that Chinese people truly want to see.] Official media reports are mostly positive, but there are also criticisms. After all, the official reports aren't entirely wrong; a small part of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" does not respect historical facts.

The audience, after leaving the theater, gave "Three Kingdoms" very high praise and spoke very frankly.

[Chen Daoming's portrayal of Zhang Jiao is so captivating. If the historical Zhang Jiao wasn't like Chen Daoming's performance, then history must be in error.]

I love Bao Guoan's portrayal of Cao Cao; it's truly a classic.

[Lu Shuming's portrayal of Guan Yu is truly classic! If he stood there, no one would believe he wasn't Guan Yu.]

Is this really the history I know? Zhang Jiao seems a bit too powerful! If he hadn't died, would the Yellow Turban Rebellion have ever been wiped out?

[Isn't that obvious? Zhang Jiao was the big boss in the late Han Dynasty and early Three Kingdoms period.]

I was incredibly excited while watching this movie in the theater, especially during Zhang Jiao's speech, which was practically like a pyramid scheme. Now I finally understand why so many people followed him in his uprising.

Born in that era, if you didn't rebel, you were doomed!

[Hehe, you all like men, but I absolutely adore Fan Yuan, she's a female warrior! When she charges into battle, I get completely fired up.]

[Oh my god, Tian Tian! My goddess, she's enrolling at the Central Academy of Drama this September, making her an alumna of Cheng Sheng's school!]

I still think Zeng Li's portrayal of Empress He was stunningly beautiful; even Cao Cao couldn't resist her!

[Scarlett Johansson's cameo role was also quite good; I didn't expect there to be foreigners visiting the Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period.]

[You're quite ignorant! People from Persia came to the Han Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Wen of Han.]

【…】

Amidst widespread praise, cinemas quickly responded by increasing the number of screenings of "Three Kingdoms" after the box office results were released that day.

As a result, the film's box office took off again.

After a week in theaters, "Three Kingdoms" grossed over 70 million yuan in a single day, and its total box office exceeded 600 million yuan.

It directly broke Cheng Sheng's own weekly box office record.

Moreover, the box office of "Three Kingdoms" has been around 50 million every day, and has never fallen below 20 million.

In terms of box office, all other films released during the summer season were crushed by "Three Kingdoms".

This has left the investors of other films devastated.

If they had known that "Three Kingdoms" was so popular, they wouldn't have put it in the summer season to compete with it!
……

After learning about the box office results on the first day, Cheng Sheng flew back to the film crew that same day.

Afterwards, whenever he had a break from filming, he would call Jiangsu Film Studio to check on the daily box office performance of "Three Kingdoms".

Seeing the box office increase by tens of millions every day, Cheng Sheng was extremely happy.

Although the crew members were filming in the countryside, they did not shut out the outside world. They learned about the phenomenal box office success of the movie "Three Kingdoms" from the internet and were all extremely shocked.

Following that, congratulations were offered to Cheng Sheng.

With the box office record set by "Three Kingdoms", everyone put more effort into making films afterward.

They also hoped that this film would achieve the same success as "Three Kingdoms," which would benefit everyone.

When the movie becomes a hit, they will also become famous.

"What! You mean Wu Baige sent the invitation card to the company?"

That day, after finishing filming a scene, Cheng Sheng told everyone to take a break when he received a call from Jiangsu Film Studio. (End of Chapter)
