Huayu: Enjoy Yourself

Chapter 353 The highest in film history!

By the end of October.

The lingering summer heat has officially subsided.

The wind in the capital was somewhat bleak, and the leaves on the trees along the roadside were turning yellow.

The quiet beauty of autumn leaves cannot be fully appreciated in this bustling city, where everyone is busy with their own affairs.

The town of Calgary in Alberta, Canada, is different.

As a frequent filming location for Hollywood movies, it features key scenes from films such as Unforgiven and Brokeback Mountain.

Calgary's mountains are incredibly beautiful and serene this autumn!

The high mountains are covered with snow, creating distinct layers.

The crew changed into heavy cotton-padded clothes and began climbing to the filming location on the mountain peak.

Fortunately, there was a local team of film and television base staff who assisted in going up the mountain; otherwise, the situation would have been extremely dangerous.

"Hoo~" White mist emanated from Chen An as he breathed in and out.

Walking among the snow-capped mountains, I felt a surge of warmth!

Yesterday, Chen An was transported to the high mountains by a professional snowmobile. He got up early in the morning and saw the vast snow-capped mountains in front of him.

With a "bang," Chen An felt as if a snowball had hit him on the back!

Turning around, I saw Zeng Li, dressed in full protective gear and wearing goggles, grinning at me!

Don't worry about who threw the snowballs at you.

"Oh, may I take this as a challenge for you to face me? Ready to begin?"

"Come on, who's afraid of who? You left us behind for the publicity, our legs are about to give out! Today I'll punish you on behalf of the others!"

"Hehehe~ I'll show you the consequences of offending me!"

"Wow! Don't let it be so big! It's bigger than my head! It hurts so much if it falls on me!"

"No, no, no, who said I was going to smash you? I'm going to stuff all of these into your clothes, don't run away!"

Amidst Chen An's eerie, cackling laughter, Zeng Li turned and ran!

The two chased each other endlessly below.

On the second floor of the bunker where the filming took place, Charlize Theron made herself a cup of coffee and quietly watched the two people joking around outside.

The heavy snow from last night has stopped. Although the sun isn't shining brightly, the clearer sky indicates that today is a good day for photography.

Chen An, who was running and chasing after Zeng Li with a snowball bigger than her head, had a sinister smile on his face. As a well-known feminist and gender equality advocate, he would not hold back in the slightest!

This is a sign of respect for my opponent. Don't blame me for being ruthless. Big Pear, you dare to ambush me? Prepare to die!

While running, Chen An suddenly felt a blow to the back of his head and fell headfirst into the snow.

Zeng Li turned around when she heard the noise and saw Tom Hardy standing behind her, grinning wildly.

Opportunities to hit the director are rare, so we absolutely can't let them slip by!

Falling to the ground, the snowball in his hand also fell to the ground. Chen An pulled himself out of the snow and gave Tom Hardy, who had ambushed him, a quick international hand gesture!

On the second floor not far away, Leonardo DiCaprio, sipping coffee, couldn't help but shout, "Cool! Wait for me, Chen, you're dead!"

After saying that, he dropped the coffee and disappeared through the window, running down the stairs like the wind.

Do you know how many takes were taken to film the scene of him falling into the bathtub?

Ten times!

Ten times in total!

I almost choked to death in the water.

Such an opportunity must not be missed!

It's a pity it's in the snowy mountains. If I were to die at the beach, I would definitely take the biggest water gun!

The Martian is now officially playing in theaters worldwide!

In the North American market, which was the first to benefit, the film officially surpassed $110 million after five weeks of release!

It surpassed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to become the highest-grossing foreign language film in the North American market!

However, it has already reached its box office ceiling, and the restrictions on non-English films are severely limited in Hollywood.

The number of theaters showing Sony films is also gradually decreasing.

It has been showing in the Chinese market for four weeks.

The Taiwan market has already reached its limit, with 130 million Taiwan dollars being released and the Hong Kong market set to 46 million in box office revenue, securing the top spot for the year!

And the mainland market erupted in celebration!

The box office momentum continued in the fourth week. Although the number of screenings dropped significantly, the box office was almost halved, only reaching 31 million!

Total box office revenue has successfully surpassed 371 million!

It successfully broke the box office record of "Titanic", which had held the highest box office position in Chinese film market for seven years!

A brand new box office champion has been crowned!

A few simple words appeared in major media outlets, without excessive praise or words, but the simple report was extremely impressive!

The massive ship that had swept across the world, including China, was finally captured, though it took a full seven years!

Chinese-language films have finally reached the pinnacle of the Chinese market!

And it sparked a frenzy on Weibo!

All because of a statement made by Chen An.

[I'm Really Not a Director]: "[Image] Look at how well it's drawn; I went through so much trouble to get this. #TheMartianRescueTopsTheHighestScoringFilmInHistory!"

A single word can startle a thunderbolt!

Netizens are absolutely furious!

The shock of a long, neatly lined-up queue!

It was all because Chen An posted two pictures. One was a photo of him and Cameron, both smiling at the camera, while Cameron was holding a picture in his hand!

Chen An also posted the remaining photo directly on Weibo!

It's a hand-drawn picture: on the Titanic, Jack is holding Rose, looking up at the sky. It's a spaceship, a spaceship heading to space, just like the spaceship in "Gravity". Next to it is Cameron's signature and congratulations to "The Martian"!

This immediately caused a huge uproar!

More than a month ago, netizens discussed the North American box office champion's tradition of gifting a painting to the previous box office champion to congratulate the next box office champion.

Today, Chen An directly invited the world-renowned top director, Canadian truck driver, box office king, Oscar world king, James Cameron, to paint a picture!

"I declare Chen An to be the number one director in Chinese-language cinema. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

"Even though I drive a Mazda, I agree!!"

"This time I'll allow you to be stuck in traffic, that's what you call the box office king!"

"A tactical lean back! That's what it means to be the top Chinese-language director! That's what it means to be a top international director! That's what professionalism is!"

"Who else?! [Image]!"

"5

""

And the first major news story triggered by Weibo has officially emerged!

Chen An's photos posted on Weibo have stirred up the entire media!

A drawing personally drawn by James Cameron to congratulate the success of "The Martian"!

On the Titanic, Jack is seen with his arm around Rose looking up at the Shenzhou-10 spacecraft heading into space. The picture was immediately published in major media outlets!

If it were someone else who had been defeated, it wouldn't have caused such a huge sensation!

However, the opponent was Titanic, which had dominated the Chinese market for seven years. In the Chinese film market, an English film held the top spot, and now it has finally been defeated. And this opponent personally drew a congratulatory picture!

A sense of accomplishment arises spontaneously!

Even the evening news, watched by the world's most-watched users, reported on a movie for the second time in history: "It is reported that the science fiction film 'The Martian,' released during the National Day holiday, broke the box office record in Chinese film history, taking in 371 million yuan!"

Director Chen An posted a picture on Weibo, drawn by James Cameron, director of "Titanic," to congratulate "The Martian" on breaking records. "Let's all strive for that!"

Overnight, the news spread throughout the country, and "The Martian" entered the history of Chinese cinema!

From then on, the box office champion of Chinese films returned to the embrace of Chinese-language cinema!

Interestingly, along with this surge in popularity, the image of Feng Xiaogang in "Kung Fu Hustle" asking "Who else is in it?!" also went viral online!

He can be found everywhere!
