Chapter 331 Dinner Party

In addition to Leonardo's three days of promotion, the other main creators of "Inception" must run a full ten days of promotion in China.

The dinner after the premiere.

Cheng Yuan was having a drink with Feng Xiaogang:

"Congratulations to Director Feng for breaking 500 million for "Earthquake". 600 million is just around the corner."

"Earthquake" has exceeded 500 million in only half a month since its release, and it is almost certain to break the box office record of "The Martian".

Feng Xiaogang was so proud of the spring breeze that he missed two lines of poetry: "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying!"

Feng Xiaogang started to fill the cup: "I thought I could take a break for half a year after "The Great Earthquake", and then I would have to do "Review of 1942", which was more difficult than "The Great Earthquake"."

"If You Are the One 2" is an easy job for him and is not considered.

He had just made a hit movie, and it was a moment of pride, so he followed him: "I have read the novel "Review of 1942", and making such a movie is really too labor-intensive."

Feng Xiaogang knew that Huayi had allocated the investment amount of "If You Are the One 2" to Cheng Yu'an, and the share was not small, a full 37%.

According to his temper, Wang Zhonglei could point his finger at Cheng Yu'an's nose and scold her if he did this, but today he felt that pulling Cheng Yu'an into the car might not be a bad idea.

Feng Xiaogang thought to himself, I have made money, and now it is time to develop into art. There are people in the distance who have channels. Cheng Yuan himself is the best director in Venice. Maybe he can use his resources to make two more films.

So I don’t care about the 37% share now.

I just finished chatting with Feng Xiao and I haven’t even taken a breath yet.

The girlfriend climbed up with a wine glass, touched him pretendingly, and said, "I just bumped into Li Bingbing."

"Well, what did she say?"

"She didn't say anything, she just kept asking about my upcoming schedule, especially my new movies in Hollywood."

Cheng Yu'an understood immediately after thinking about it, swallowed a shrimp ball, and said: "She is fighting for Ada Wang in "Resident Evil 5", and she is afraid that you will compete with her."

"Can I act?" The young lady was very excited.

"Forget it, you already have a certain status in Hollywood after "Inception". If you want to take a lead role or a supporting actress, "Resident Evil" is Milla Jovovich's solo show. There is no need for us to give

She carries the sedan chair."

"Dafa actually sent me an invitation and asked me to recommend actors." "Resident Evil 5" won't start filming until next year. "I asked Yang Mi and Tangtang to try it out."

"Then I'll have no chance next year." Liu Yifei complained.

"Let's focus on the country first. When I have time, I'll write a drama for you with a female lead."

"real!"

"When did I lie to you?"

While the two were talking, Yang Mi came over: "What are you two talking about?"

When Liu Yifei saw her, she smiled and said, "I'm just talking about you."

"Me? What are you talking about me?" Yang Mi asked doubtfully.

"Director Cheng has something good to ask you, I'll leave first." After saying that, Liu Yifei left. As the heroine, she was very busy at the dinner.

"You have something to do with me?" Cheng Yu'an asked her.

"It's nothing." Yang Mi decided to listen to what Cheng Yu'an had to say to her.

In fact, she came here to ask for a role.

The popularity of "33 Days After Love" made her feel that she was remotely the biggest star below Liu Yifei.

But after she finished playing "33 Days After Love", the company actually arranged for her to act in a TV series.

She was very dissatisfied with this. I already have a 300 million box office heroine, and you still want me to act in a TV series.

In order to sign me, he promised to make a movie for me.

She also knows that the popularity of "33 Days of Love" is due to Huang Xiaoxian's good character design, and the other reason is that the remote promotion is in place.

She's not greedy, she can't play the leading role in movies for the time being, and she's not shabby either as the second female lead or the supporting actress.

Another thing is that she was approached by Rong Xingda’s manager Zeng’s family and wanted to take her south to Hong Kong.

"Mi Mi, as long as Liu Yifei is here, you will never be able to get ahead in the distance."

"You can't say that. Yifei's position in the company is to go to Hollywood, and I can develop in China, so there is no conflict." In fact, she felt uncomfortable when she said this.

Everyone wants to break into Hollywood.

"The company produces so many movies every year, and I have no shortage of movies to shoot."

"You come with me to Hong Kong Island. I've already made an agreement there. As long as you come, it will be a big Hollywood production, "Empire of Mermaids"."

These words made her very excited, but she was reluctant to part with the remote resources, so she had the courage to come to Cheng Yu'an to ask for a role at the dinner party today. As long as he gave her a movie, he would not leave.

"Mimi," Cheng Yu'an said, "I know the promise Zhixi made to you when he signed you, saying that he would make a movie for you. "Love Is Not Blind" did a great job."

"Yeah." Yang Mi was waiting for the next step.

"This promise is also valid here."

This is what you want!

"Dafa sent me an invitation a few days ago. Their "Resident Evil 5" will start filming next year, and they asked me to recommend an actress to play Ada Wong."

Yang Mi's heartbeat began to accelerate.

"The company has decided to let you and Tangtang give it a try."

"Thank you, Director Cheng!" Yang Mi's heart almost jumped out of her throat.

"Don't worry, thank you. I just recommend you two to audition. "Resident Evil" is not our project." Cheng Yu'an said slowly, "Whether you look good or not depends on your own abilities."

"I understand, it's great to have this opportunity." In this circle, no one will prepare food and feed it to your mouth. You have to fight for it yourself.

"How is your English?" Cheng Yu'an asked her.

These words stuck in Yang Mi's lungs: "It's not very good. I'll practice when I get back." Yang Mi promised.

"Okay, audition at the end of the year, you only have three or four months."

"That's enough! I promise to speak a fluent Cockney accent when the time comes."

"As long as you have confidence. Hey, you just said you wanted to talk to me about something. What was it?"

"It's okay, hehe." It's best to keep the matter of job-hopping in your stomach.

…………

With the official release of "Inception", Cheng Yu'an also started to get busy.

He would follow the crew to several major ticket offices in the country.

Although the market is now fully able to accommodate two blockbusters competing on the same stage, it should not be said that "Inception" has indeed influenced "Tangshan Earthquake".

As soon as it was released, "Inception" occupied 70% of the screens.

Coupled with Taopiaopiao's no-cost ticket reimbursement and various IMAX prices of 29.9, 19.9 or even 9.9, the three-day box office of "Inception" exceeded 120 million in the first weekend!

The film schedule of "Tangshan Earthquake" was directly cut in half, but this is still a normal market phenomenon. I believe that the film schedule of "Tangshan Earthquake" will return to normal in a few days.

Under the joint stranglehold of "Inception" and "Tangshan Earthquake", the revenue of all films in the second half of the August schedule was too dismal to watch.

"Dragon and Phoenix Store" only grossed 3.1 million at the box office on its first day.

Many viewers responded: "I have already watched "Tangshan Earthquake", and I didn't buy the tickets for "Inception" before I went to see "Dragon Store"."

“After watching it, I realized I had been fooled.”
