Huayu: Enjoy Yourself

Chapter 72 Bearing Humiliation and Burden

The hit TV series "My Fair Princess" instantly dominated current discussions. 💥💥 6➈SUⓍ.COM 🎃💞

Discussions were heard everywhere on the street.

The lead actors all became famous overnight and became well-known superstars.

Chen An couldn't help but wonder if he should make a TV series.

It's not just about making money; its ability to promote people is far superior to its ability to make movies.

Although film actors are considered a higher level in the industry, television dramas are the most powerful tool for expanding national recognition.

Moreover, apart from Chen An's films, most movies these days barely make any money.

Not only is the box office performance in the industry sluggish, but the production companies are also taking too little cut.

Unless it's the kind of lottery ticket that you can only make money by selling it to the three major lottery outlets.

TV dramas are really profitable; the money comes in waves.

However, Chen An had not watched many TV series, and only remembered some well-known ones.

He didn't recognize many of the TV dramas from that period, as he didn't particularly enjoy watching them.

"Is 'My Love from the Star' going to be a hit?" Chen An muttered to himself as he sat in front of the TV at home.

Chen An has a deep impression of this TV series because his girlfriend from his past life dragged him to watch it.

To be honest, it's quite addictive to watch.

It is the culmination of idol dramas and an idol drama that has swept across Asia.

But after thinking for a while, Chen An rejected the idea: "It won't work. It's too early to take it out now. There's no point in doing it. Let's keep it for now."

It's impossible not to film; if we can't film now, we'll film later.

Chen An is now somewhat troubled. He has seen many movies, but he doesn't know much about TV series.

His taste is quite unique. When I was a kid, I liked watching videos of people tearing apart Japanese soldiers with bare hands. There's absolutely no way Chen An could pull that off; it would ruin his reputation.

"Forget it, let Sister Xiaoping ask around and see if there's anyone I've heard of." Although Chen An hadn't watched some of the TV dramas, he had still heard of the names.

For example, with "Empresses in the Palace," I couldn't stand watching more than three episodes. Instead of watching that, you might as well twist Chen An's head off.

Chen An definitely wants to develop the television drama industry, but unlike movies, he doesn't know much about it.

I'm a little envious now, but I can only watch from the sidelines.

The nation's attention was completely consumed by this TV series, and the box office of "My Sassy Girl" remained stuck at just over 138 million yuan, struggling to break through.

It's difficult to even break 140 million, and screenings have been reduced again and again.

Finally, at the end of November, on the 25th, the film officially ended its run, and the box office stopped at 139 million, failing to break 140 million, just one step away from the mark.

Of the major box office markets where films are being released simultaneously, only "The Days" is still showing, and it has already grossed 25 billion yuan!

It's still showing in theaters, but the growth is basically uninteresting, and it won't be long before it's taken off the screens.

"My Sassy Girl" has officially ended its theatrical run, achieving a phenomenal box office of 139 million!

The phenomenal domestic romantic comedy "My Sassy Girl" has officially concluded its run at the box office, reaching 139 million yuan!

"The movie 'My Sassy Girl' starring Zeng Li has officially ended its run. She stated: Thank you for your support!"

『.』

Media reports followed, and the phenomenal film finally came to an end, a result that was cause for celebration at the box office.

Meanwhile, Chen An's new company quietly opened its doors without making a fuss or notifying anyone in the industry.

Lightyear Media has also officially begun to expand and open, and has started to recruit a large number of employees.

With the end of its run, The Days of Being Wild has also come to a close, with the film's total box office revenue set at 26 billion yen. While its release in Southeast Asia was later, it also ended its run earlier than The Days of Being Wild.

Although the screening rights and DVDs were sold to Golden Harvest, there were reports of resistance in those countries.

In total, it grossed over ten million US dollars at the box office, and with the DVD rights included, Golden Harvest still made a profit overall.

They are also tallying the final box office figures here, the total box office across all of Asia.

The biggest success was in South Korea, where it grossed a whopping 30 million US dollars at the box office!

The total box office revenue across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong is equivalent to 28 million US dollars!

Life is pretty good, 26 billion yen is about 17 million US dollars!

With the addition of over ten million US dollars in box office revenue from several Southeast Asian countries, the film's global box office reached over eighty-five million US dollars!

The production cost was less than two million US dollars, or ten million RMB!

Of course, marketing and promotion costs were not included; only production costs were calculated.

The total box office revenue is equivalent to 6.1 million RMB!

Of course, this is only on the surface. The box office revenue in Southeast Asia cannot be included. Only the box office revenue is included, and that part belongs to Golden Harvest.

They bought out the Southeast Asian screening and DVD rights for two million US dollars.

Chen An also holds the remake and adaptation rights, which he has never sold.

Director Chen An's recent film, *My Sassy Girl*, has achieved unprecedented success, grossing $6.1 million worldwide!

The box office statistics were also quietly reported, shocking not only industry insiders but also ordinary people!

I knew you were successful, but I didn't expect you to be this successful.

The news spread not only in mainland China, but also in Taiwan and Hong Kong Island, a place they had once looked down upon.

A renowned director who has made a name for himself across Asia is rising to prominence!

Directors and investors who are realizing that their respective markets are declining are starting to set their sights on the mainland.

Are you considering heading north?

Sitting in the film crew, Jiang Wen, carefully examining a newspaper, couldn't help but sigh. The young man who used to do odd jobs on the film crew has now become one of the top directors in the country.

Zhang Yimou, who was being handed a newspaper by his partner Zhang Weiping, looked at his rapidly rising junior brother and felt that new talents are constantly emerging.

Sitting next to him, Zhang Weiping, seeing the other person's silent demeanor, couldn't help but speak up:

"Why don't we make a commercial film too? If a young man can make so much money at the box office, you can definitely do it too, Yi Mou."

Zhang Weiping, who had placed all his bets on Zhang Yimou, had big ideas and was extremely envious of Chen An's box office success.

Moreover, I believe Zhang Yimou is no worse than the other party, while Chen An is just a greenhorn.

Sitting in his chair, Zhang Yimou shook his head in thought: "My junior brother is no ordinary person. I've seen the movie, and his filming techniques and camera work have improved again this time. Moreover, he wrote the script himself, which is much better than mine."

"He's just the best director, but you're a double winner of the Golden Lion and the Golden Bear. If he can direct, you definitely can too." Zhang Weiping, who was a businessman before and gradually entered the industry by chance, is still unaware of these things.

He has unwavering faith in his partners; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to sell his assets and bet everything on Zhang Yimou's "Keep Cool and Talk".

It has to be said that he made the right gamble, not only succeeding in the end, but Zhang Yimou was also extremely grateful to him.

Zhang Yimou simply shook his head helplessly at his partner's words: "It's different, you can't calculate it like that. The types of people involved are different, so let's not think about these things for now."

"Alright then, I'll listen to you." Since they were still in a close working relationship, Zhang Weiping, who wasn't very knowledgeable about the business, could only trust Zhang Yimou's decision.

Zhang Yimou, who was sitting in his chair deep in thought, seemed to be pondering something.

The news spread quickly, especially after Han Sanping took the initiative to promote it.

The banner announcing that the Beijing Film Studio's domestic box office had exceeded 100 million yuan had just been taken down when a banner announcing that the global box office had reached 610 million yuan was put up again.

Not to be outdone, the Beijing Film Academy posted a banner with Chen An's name on it online, adding the same words as before, especially emphasizing the words "studying for a master's degree".

They all seem afraid that others won't know, but the teachers and students at Beijing Film Academy are already used to it.

I've lost it several times in the past few years, so it's become commonplace.

Moreover, I've heard that in recent years, when school teachers and leaders go out to attend meetings and lectures, they speak much louder, especially when people from the Central Academy of Drama are present.

The younger students all hoped that this senior would return to the school to cast roles again, fantasizing about becoming famous overnight and spreading throughout Asia, just like Chen Kun and Zeng Li.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to have this dream tonight.

Chen An endured humiliation and hardship, exchanging his body for a contract.

Yu Jinghong was signed to the company, becoming the third artist they signed. She also brought in an agent, whom she found herself.

They were all brought in in a package.

Only his kidneys suffered.
