Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

Chapter 228 Fast & Furious 3 Released

After Fast & Furious 1 was released in mainland China, racing movies became a hit there. This time, Fast & Furious 3 will be released globally starting in North America at Christmas.

This film was released in mainland China as a co-production. It was produced by Zhang San's film company in mainland China in collaboration with North American film company Sweeney Pictures.

"Xiao Yi, you were so cool and capable in the movie, you're not just a pretty face." Zhang San and Wang Shengyi were watching a movie together. When she called him a pretty face, Zhang San didn't refute it. Instead, he said that if she wasn't just a pretty face, it meant she could carry a movie.

However, judging from their current appearance, they seem to be a couple. Others feel that they are too intimate, not like friends.

Last year, the two crossed the line into a relationship. She was mainly attracted to Zhang San's wealth and talent. Moreover, Zhang San had a lot of resources and was a boss. What could she do?

With her boss's enthusiastic support, she has become one of the few mainland Chinese actresses to play the lead role in Hollywood blockbusters. It would be unreasonable not to acknowledge her, as that would make her seem too immature.

Compared to Gao Yuanyuan, she was incredibly lucky. However, compared to Fang Xiaobing, she was still lacking something. But back then, Zhang San told her, "Don't worry, you still lack national recognition. When a good TV drama script comes along, you'll get the lead role and become an overnight sensation. That'll give you national recognition."

But this woman's demeanor... well, never mind.

This movie continues the grand scenes of the first two films, featuring a large number of luxury cars that experience a short but glorious life; however, unlike the first film, the luxury cars in this movie all have logos, which makes it easier for car novices to recognize these cars.

During the roadshow in mainland China, the car that the four-wheel-drive vehicle was exhibited.

Once they arrive at a location, many movie fans, or more precisely, car enthusiasts, will come. These car fans want to see the cars that haven't been wrecked yet. They might not be able to buy one of these cars in their entire lives, but because of filming, their lifespan is very short. They might only appear for a few minutes in the movie. The shortest-lived car was wrecked after appearing for just one minute.

Some people have made these comments online.

"This film series is about ten thousand ways to destroy luxury cars. Those limited edition sports cars and expensive luxury business cars that we can never afford in our lifetime are destroyed in various situations."

I don't know why, but I actually felt really good; I don't know where this feeling came from?

Perhaps it's a desire for destruction and devastation!

This post, highlighted and pinned, is extremely popular; perhaps humans have a destructive streak, so when we see those top-tier industrial designs being blown into the air in explosions, crushed by dump trucks, and...

When Zhang San saw the damaged cars on set, he didn't feel anything at first. But when he saw the finished product, the movie, after post-production, presented a completely different scene, which amazed him.

"Holy crap, you can do that?!"

"F**K, how could they even create such special effects!?"

"Thank you for the generous gift. At the time, I thought this kind of car crash was really low-class, but seeing it in the movie, it's actually quite impressive!"

When Wang Sheng looked at Zhang San, he looked at him like he was crazy. Zhang San was making such a racket during the movie, didn't he know he was disturbing others? ... Zhang San had booked the whole movie theater; there was no one else there.

There were others present, including a dozen or so bodyguards, but they remained silent.

The movie continues, and in the end, a road full of cars is destroyed in a series of explosions, while a group of main characters emerge from the thick smoke behind them.

And the one closest to the center position is Wang Shengyi.

The movie grossed over 30 million RMB in mainland China and over 60 million USD in North America in its first week of release. Zhang San felt that this was about right. Currently, movie tickets in mainland China cost just over ten RMB, while tickets in North America cost only a few RMB. However, North American tickets are in US dollars, while mainland Chinese tickets are in RMB, so naturally, Zhang San couldn't compete with them. In the future, when a movie costs around thirty or forty RMB, he would naturally be able to close the gap with North American box office revenue.

However, a movie with over 40 million RMB in box office revenue will definitely surpass 100 million.

As one person in the film industry commented: This is a movie with cars as the main characters. Whether they are the main characters or not is meaningless. Anyone can be in it. As long as the movie is exciting, that's fine. As long as there are more ways the cars are destroyed, that's fine too.

However, some people felt that there was a hint of sourness in these people's words.

The fact that a beautiful Chinese woman played the lead role in this movie was refreshing for mainland China, but what they talked about even more was the unspoken rules and such.

Why didn't those big-name actresses appear on screen, while this female villain who only starred in one hit TV series became the female lead in this movie?

Is there something wrong with this? Could it be that he rose to power by persuading certain people?

Of course, such comments can only spread wildly online, described in great detail; the matter also reached Wang Shengyi, but her reaction was very calm.

Her agent told her, "Shengyi, soon reporters will definitely ask you similar questions. You absolutely cannot say you have a boyfriend, you can't say anything like that, otherwise you'll lose your celebrity aura..."

"I see."

Sure enough, after she went out, a lot of paparazzi appeared. The paparazzi from the mainland must have come from Hong Kong. They are entertainment reporters, after all, they make a living off celebrities. Otherwise, why would they be called entertainment reporters? If there is no tacit understanding between the two parties, it will be a disaster for the celebrity.

Wang Shengyi turned a blind eye to the paparazzi following him, letting them do as they pleased, thus creating a strange tacit understanding between the two sides.

After following her for a few days, they discovered that this newly debuted female star had a very regular life. She was either at home or at the company, and when she had dinner with friends, most of them were women. Therefore, they gradually lost interest in following her. If there was no news, what was there to follow?

However, there is a lot of controversy surrounding her online, but all of this is from her management company. They hired online trolls to create hype around her.

Zhang San said to them, "Being infamous is still being famous. If there's no buzz, is the celebrity still a celebrity?"

Based on this principle, they started exposing all sorts of trivial information. As soon as the paparazzi stopped following them, it felt like the hype was going to die down.

"Let's participate in another TV series."

This is Zhang San's suggestion: although you've acted in a Hollywood blockbuster, you can't be without other works.
