Chinese entertainment: What's wrong with actresses wanting to improve?

The comment section of this Weibo post received over 20,000 messages within an hour.

"So this season's trip to Spain was for a national mission? That's incredible!"

"From domestic to overseas, all the preliminary preparations were scrapped and started over, but it was all done in half a month. Their execution is amazing."

"Running Man is no longer just a variety show; it's a nationally certified cultural exchange project."

"If anyone ever says variety shows are meaningless again, I'll throw this screenshot in their face."

Discussions among netizens about Spain continue to heat up.

The San Miguel Market became a must-visit destination for Chinese tourists overnight after the program aired.

A search on a travel website revealed that searches for Retiro Park and the Prado Museum in Madrid increased by 300% and 250% respectively within twelve hours of the program airing.

The official Weibo account of the Running Man program posted a thank-you message the following morning.

"Thank you for your love and support."

It is an honor for Running Man to be the program for the cultural exchange activities commemorating the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Spain.

We hope that watching Running Man will help everyone better understand the charm of Spanish and Chinese culture.

This Weibo post was also reposted by several official media outlets, including the Weibo accounts of the Publicity Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

On March 12, Morning Music was listed in Hong Kong.

Fu Yibai gave the film crew a day off and rushed to Hong Kong to participate in the bell-ringing ceremony.

On the day of its listing, Morning Light Music's revenue exceeded HK$10 billion.

All of this is thanks to top musicians like Zhang Liangying and Xue Zhiqian, as well as the successful Star Girls they nurtured.

After attending the celebration banquet in Hong Kong, Fu Yibai flew directly back to Shangri-La.

Filming in Shangri-La continues.

The weather on the plateau in March is unpredictable; it may be sunny in the morning but rainy in the afternoon.

The crew's production assistants would get up at four in the morning every day to check the weather and report in the group chat whether the day's shooting schedule needed to be adjusted.

Jing Tian's condition is getting better and better.

After she put on Si Teng's cheongsam, it was as if she had switched to a completely different personality.

The girl who usually jokes and laughs with the crew on set transforms into a thousand-year-old vine spirit the moment she stands in front of the camera, her aloofness and detachment perfectly natural.

Sister Qin and her styling team revolve around her every day.

The order of changing into the thirty-two qipaos and the corresponding scenes were all made into a detailed table and posted on the wall of the dressing room. Each time a qipao was changed, the hairstyle and makeup had to be adjusted accordingly.

Jing Tian gets up at five o'clock every morning to start styling and arrives on set at six-thirty sharp, never late.

Chen Xiao didn't experience any discomfort while filming on the plateau.

His role in "Si Teng" was mainly dramatic. Apart from the scene where he was pierced through the chest by a dead tree stump, which required wire work, he spent most of his time acting opposite Jing Tian.

The core of Qin Fang's character is "an honest man who is dragged into the supernatural world." Chen Xiao has captured the complex mentality of being both afraid and irresistibly attracted to Si Teng very well.

Huang Mengying's scenes began to be filmed intensively a week after filming started.

The role of Shen Yindeng has many fragmented scenes, but every scene is full of tension.

The character Chisan exists on the border between humans and demons. Her murderous intent towards Si Teng stems from her fear of Si Teng's strength and her desire for Si Teng's power.

As a member of the Kama tribe transformed from a fly agaric spirit, she was unable to reproduce with humans like the mutated Siteng.

She attempted to absorb Si Teng's demonic power to replenish herself, thereby gaining the ability to conceive and give birth.

Huang Mengying did not portray Chi San as a purely evil person, but rather gave the character a tragic undertone on screen.

"Click."

Fu Yibai stood up from behind the monitor.

"This one is approved."

Huang Mengying immediately snapped out of her role, jogged over to the monitor, and watched the playback head-to-head with Fu Yibai.

On March 25, "Brotherhood of Blades 2" was taken off the screens, with a final box office of 9.33 million yuan.

The market for martial arts films is shrinking, and this achievement is already the ceiling for similar films in recent years.

Xin Zhilei's knife strike in the film amazed countless viewers, and her popularity rose to a new level because of this role.

On March 28, "Boonie Bears: The Big Adventure" ended its run, with a final box office of 6.15 million yuan, basically on par with the previous films, demonstrating its continued dominance in the family-oriented market.

On March 29, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" ended its theatrical run nationwide.

The final box office figure was 14.78 billion.

When Stephen Chow was asked by the media whether he was satisfied with the box office results, he said, "As long as the audience likes it, that's good."

Wen Zhang and Shu Chang's performances were praised by many film critics, and the scene of Miss Duan dancing alone under the moon has become a classic.

On April 1st, "Detective Chinatown" was taken off the screens. The film overtook "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" in its later stages of release, ultimately grossing 15.66 billion yuan.

When asked about the box office during the roadshow, Ning Hao smiled and said, "I would be satisfied if it could reach 1 billion yuan." He never expected it to turn out like this.

The news that Ning Hao became the second director in China, after Fu Yibai, to achieve a box office of 15 billion yuan topped the trending search list on April 1st.

He himself doesn't seem to care much about the title. When asked about it in an interview, he said, "Box office is the audience's choice. All a director can do is to do his job well." Then he changed the subject and started talking about the preparation progress of "Shoplifters".

Lu Yang reposted Ning Hao's box office success on Weibo, with the caption "Brother Ning is awesome, I'll treat you to dinner next time."

Ning Hao replied, "I treated last time, it's your turn this time."

The two directors interacted on Weibo, which fans jokingly referred to as "the daily sweet moments of the Dawn Directors' Team".

After seeing the box office results, Fu Yibai specifically called Zhao Qi and asked him to give Stephen Chow an extra ten million yuan on top of the original share of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

In any case, Fu Yibai did nothing but invest money in this project.

Having made hundreds of millions in profit for nothing, they'll share a little with Stephen Chow to build a good relationship, so that he'll think of Chenxi first when he has projects in the future.

He knows exactly how much the audience loves Stephen Chow; there's no doubt that Stephen Chow's future movies will be box office hits.

Filming in Pudacuo National Park is nearing its end, and the remaining scenes will be filmed in an old house in Shangri-La Ancient City.

The old house is a Tibetan-style courtyard with intricate carvings on the wooden lintel and a century-old walnut tree in the yard.

The romantic storyline between Si Teng and Qin Fang unfolds naturally within the old house in the ancient city.
