The crew of "The Legend of White Snake" is preparing in an orderly manner. Yang Ming will audition many actors and actresses every day, select actors suitable for the roles and then sign contracts.

Even though he did not take the initiative to expose the latest news about the crew, the outside media still paid more attention to this TV series than ordinary TV series.

This makes other film and television companies in the entertainment industry extremely jealous, but they also know that this phenomenon cannot be replicated.

Who told the director of this TV series to be Yang Ming!

The news in the United States about restricting the release of Chinese-language films in the U.S. film market has gradually subsided, as if nothing had happened. Faced with a behemoth like the Ministry of Commerce of China, which has a particularly domineering style, Hollywood does not dare to film.

Chest to ensure that the other person will not overreact.

No one can guarantee that.

However, the American media created this incident to deliberately exaggerate the harm that Chinese-language films may bring in the future, which did not affect the release of "The Fast and the Furious" in the United States.

Even because of this incident, the box office performance of "The Fast and the Furious", which was already about to be canceled after its release, actually recovered slightly for a while.

Although the box office data did not increase much, it made everyone in Hollywood feel extremely depressed.

What is this!

After a month of screenings, "The Fast and the Furious" is almost ready to be released in film markets around the world, except in East Asia.

Although the final box office data has not yet come out, the approximate statistics have been calculated by the media who are interested. When these media reported the approximate box office statistics of the film "Fast and Furious", it once again shocked the country.

many film companies.

Yang Ming, this talented young man, is definitely a cash cow!

The box office data of "The Fast and the Furious" in the United States was approximately 930 million yuan. It did not break the shackles of a total box office of 1 billion yuan, which disappointed many people.

But even so, such box office data is still enough to make countless Chinese film companies jealous.

More than 900 million yuan!

Converted into Chinese dollars, that's close to 28 Chinese dollars.

The box office profit ratio of "The Fast and the Furious" is like a money printing machine, it's too exaggerated.

According to rough statistics from the media, the film's cumulative box office in Europe has reached more than 700 million euros, once again breaking the box office record for Chinese-language films in the European film market.

Just from the two major movie box offices in the United States and Europe, the box office data of this film exceeded 5 billion yuan.

When this box office data came out, many local film companies were still shocked even if they had it.

10 billion Chinese yuan!

The cumulative box office of Yang Ming's movies in China and other countries in East Asia has definitely exceeded 5 billion yuan, which means that the global box office of "Fast and Furious" has exceeded an unprecedented 10 billion yuan!

This was like a thunderbolt to the local film industry, with stars in their eyes and everyone's minds going blank.

They never thought that in the history of the Chinese film industry, there would be a movie with box office results that could exceed the seemingly unattainable goal of tens of billions of dollars.

It's too scary.

Although the box office performance of Yang Ming's "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" movie last year has been extremely close to the threshold of tens of billions of Chinese yuan, many people are mentally prepared that Yang Ming may break the tens of billions of Chinese yuan movie box office record, but no one can

I didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

Tens of billions of dollars, just thinking about this amazing figure is enough to make many film companies say it is incredible.

Compared with the shock and envy of their colleagues in the film company, many domestic entertainment media were all as excited as if they had been on steroids.

In a short period of time, whether it was newspapers or the Internet, news related to Yang Ming was overwhelming.

The news that the cumulative global box office of "The Fast and the Furious" has exceeded 10 billion yuan is simply earth-shattering for the country. It not only allows the film industry to see the bright future of Chinese-language films, but also makes countless movie fans feel proud of it.

Four or five years ago, the media was still hyping up the decline of the Chinese-language film industry and worrying about the situation of Hollywood blockbusters conquering the domestic film market.

But now, just a few years later, a film genius has emerged in the domestic film industry. Not only does he not fall behind in the face of Hollywood blockbusters, but he also counterattacks the other party's local base, forcing the other party to issue a call to restrict Chinese-language films.

Yang Ming's legendary success, deliberately exaggerated by the media, has made countless people in the country feel happy in their hearts.

We Chinese will never lag behind others in all walks of life.

It has to be said that the inner pride and pride of the Chinese people today is comparable to that of the ancient prosperous Tang Dynasty when all the nations came to the dynasty.

Suddenly, Yang Ming simply became the darling of the people.

Even if no news came out about "The Legend of White Snake", which he was preparing to shoot at this time, it still became the focus of media and public attention again.

Everyone seemed extremely concerned about this young genius's every move and what he did every day.

China Brothers Media, Royal Entertainment and other film companies felt like crying when they saw Yang Ming and his TV series once again becoming the focus of media reports, but they had no good solution.

However, at this time, the official website of Oriental DreamWorks once again announced news, which immediately caused an uproar among the entertainment industry and the audience.

"The male lead in Yang Ming's new drama is actually played by Huang Xiaofeng, a man disguised as a woman. It's incredible."

"A woman plays a man. I never thought that such a thing would happen in today's film and television shootings!"

"Oh my God, Yang Ming actually cast an actress to play the leading role in "The Legend of White Snake". Even though the actress is Huang Xiaofeng, who is very popular in the entertainment industry today, I still find it difficult to accept it.

"

"TV drama = drama? The male lead in Yang Ming's new drama actually has to learn the drama model of a female acting as a male. It's so uncomfortable!"

...

Originally, the media's attention was focused on the news that the global box office of "The Fast and the Furious" exceeded 10 billion yuan, but when the news was announced that Huang Xiaofeng would play Xu Xian, many media seemed to have exploded, and they all focused on this news.

.

It's such an explosion.

Huang Xiaofeng, whose acting career took a huge step forward with the movie "The Fast and the Furious" and became a top actress in the Chinese film industry, actually agreed to Yang Ming's role as Xu Xian, the male lead.

Whether it is Huang Xiaofeng's "lowering figure" or "dressing up as a man and woman", it is enough to attract the attention of the media, not to mention that so much focus is caused by Yang Ming!

The commercial building where Oriental DreamWorks is located had many media reporters waiting down there all day long. Now when the news came out, more and more media came to interview after hearing the news.

In the company.

Yang Ming slowly put down his phone and sighed helplessly.

He really didn't expect that announcing that the role of Xu Xian would be played by Ye Tonglai would cause such a big controversy in this life.

Even Minister Guo couldn't bear to call and inquire.

Maybe Yang Ming's "The New Legend of White Snake" will not have a big impact on the cultural export plan implemented by high-level government officials, but Yang Ming is much more important in the eyes of Minister Guo.

The success of "Winter Sonata" in East Asia also proves this point.

Otherwise, Minister Guo would not always support Yang Ming.

He was afraid that Yang Ming would make an impulsive decision because he was too young and energetic this time, so he called him to express his concern.

"These officials know about political achievements, but do they know about acting?"

Suddenly, a sarcastic remark rang out in the office. After hearing this, Yang Ming looked up and saw Hua Xiaoyue's disdainful look. He smiled helplessly and shook his head, without arguing with her.

He just briefly explained it to Minister Guo. He couldn't explain clearly on the phone, and Minister Guo didn't interfere with what Yang Ming wanted him to do.

He was just afraid that Yang Ming would be overly arrogant and make some poor decisions because he was young and had so much success. Minister Guo knew over the phone that this was not the case. Yang Ming's decision to cast Huang Xiaofeng as Xu Xian was not an impulsive decision, but a decision made after careful consideration.

After careful consideration, he felt relieved.

Yang Ming accepted Minister Guo's kindness. Unexpectedly, he heard Hua Xiaoyue's words just after hanging up the phone. He smiled bitterly and did not explain anything.

However, Su Su, who was sitting next to Hua Xiaoyue, seemed to know what Yang Ming was thinking, so she whispered to Hua Xiaoyue in a low voice.

"How are you doing? Are you feeling stressed? Do you want the company to help you clear things up?" Yang Ming asked Huang Xiaofeng beside him with a smile.

When the news spread that Huang Xiaofeng would play Xu Xian, both Yang Ming and Huang Xiaofeng felt a lot of pressure.

Yang Ming may be a little better. One is that he has been so successful in recent years, and the media dare not question him too much. The other is that Yang Ming doesn't accept interviews from the media at all, so naturally he doesn't care about the so-called media pressure.

But Huang Xiaofeng is different.

Hearing Yang Ming's concerned words, Huang Xiaofeng smiled faintly, showing an indifferent smile, and said: "It's not like I haven't experienced these before. I have seen bigger storms than this, let alone these!"

Yang Ming saw Huang Xiaofeng's calm expression and couldn't help but laugh when he thought about her experiences since her debut.

Huang Xiaofeng did not come from a major, nor was he a so-called disciple from a famous family. He was simply from a wild background.

She entered the acting industry only after being favored by advertisers and starring in a commercial. Naturally, her background was not looked upon by actors from traditional academic circles, so she has never been less skeptical since her debut.

.

Even though she is now very popular and a top actress in the entertainment industry, there are still many people who find fault with her acting skills and make irresponsible remarks.

The other party said that it was just a small storm now, but that was really the case.

At this time, the makeup artist walked in: "Director Yang, it's ready over there."

"Okay, I'll go over first." Huang Xiaofeng stood up and said.

Today she came here to take Xu Xian's makeup photos, which could have been taken two days ago, but she is a popular actress after all, and there was a slight conflict with her schedule, so it was postponed until today.

Su Su also stood up at this time and said, "I'll follow you and have a look."

After saying this, she winked at Yang Ming.

When Yang Ming saw Su Su's eyes, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and shrugged helplessly.
