Chapter 993 "Avatar" Is Here (Asking for Monthly Votes)
Chapter 994 "Avatar" is here (asking for monthly tickets)
Because the wedding process was too tiring, An Xiaoxi's daily routine, apart from eating and sleeping, was to occasionally check Weibo and watch movies.
On January 4, "Avatar" landed in the Chinese mainland film market.
At present, James Cameron's sci-fi blockbuster "Avatar" has accumulated a global box office of 1 billion US dollars, which is not much different from the second place in film history "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" with 1.12 billion US dollars.
Regardless of whether "Avatar" will eventually surpass "Titanic" with 1.84 billion US dollars and win the championship, Cameron has already firmly grasped the championship and runner-up.
This movie has arrived in the mainland, adding fuel to the market that is already like boiling water.
At present, the mainland film market is currently a situation of one strong second and many weak.
The first strong is naturally "Let the Bullets Fly", with a box office of 660 million, constantly breaking the box office record of domestic films.
The second is "Three Guns Surprise" and "October Siege".
No matter how weak "Three Guns Surprise" is, it is also a national film, and its box office has exceeded 100 million yuan.
Don't underestimate the box office of over 100 million yuan. There are not even 15 directors in the Chinese film industry who have box office over 100 million yuan.
As for "October Besieged City", thanks to the fact that it is a film starring An Xiaoxi, it has benefited from the traffic bonus of Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi's marriage, and its box office directly surpassed "Three Guns" and has reached nearly 200 million yuan.
In addition, there are fantasy martial arts films "The Emperor of Fengyun Descends" starring Guo Fucheng, Zheng Yijian, Ren Dahua, Xie Tingfeng, and Ah Sa, "The Thorn Tomb" starring Zhou Jielun, and "Poker King" starring Gu Tianle, etc.
The box office of these films is relatively sluggish, and they can only eat leftovers when they encounter strong films.
Now that "Avatar" is a big hit, these movies have even less chance of survival.
This is the movie.
There are gains and losses, and the majority of them lose money.
Gao Yuanyuan's new drama "Let's Get Married" was broadcast, which happened to catch the popularity of Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi, but many people regretted that this TV series was not starred by Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi.
The effect of this TV series after it was broadcast was very good.
The price of the second round of broadcast rights was also good, and Heidou Media, as the main producer, also made a lot of money.
Heidou's products must be high-quality, and this is no exception in TV series.
The script of "Ode to Joy" was favored by Kong Sheng.
However, this time he no longer filmed for Shanying, but decided to go out and work alone.
Although there were many factors instigated by Hao Yun, Kong Sheng did have the intention of establishing his own mountain. He pulled a few friends, plus Hou Hongliang, the gold medal producer of Shanying, to establish Noon Sunshine Film and Television Co., Ltd.
The company's largest investor is Heidou Media.
Heidou Media invested 100 million yuan, accounting for 70% of the share, but the company did not interfere with the operation of Noon Sunshine.
Since there is already such a cooperative company, Hao Yun's other work "The Longest Day in Chang'an" will definitely be handed over to Noon Sunshine.
I just don't know how long the queue will be.
Kong Sheng also has a lot of things he wants to shoot.
His team is very strong, and he has not been in the circle for nothing these years.
The company's first project is "Ode to Joy".
Kong Sheng's biggest regret is that the project is almost ready, but An Xiaoxi is pregnant and can't perform.
Through the channel of Heidou Media, he found Shu Chang and Gao Yuanyuan, plus Liu Tao who had to come back because her husband went bankrupt, and he also pulled together a strong team.
There is nothing to do about it.
Even if some female stars have to work with big bellies, An Xiaoxi can't take risks.
Aunt Liu alone would beat her to death.
And she doesn't have such strong career ambitions.
With Hao Yun, it doesn't matter if she takes a break for a year or two, not to mention that she still has a movie "The Witch" to be released.
Hao Yun added some investment to "The Witch" and asked Lu Yang to do a better job of special effects.
Then the animated film "Those Years" is about to be released.
The animated character An Ran is a bit like An Xiaoxi, and An Xiaoxi dubbed the animated character, which can also be regarded as her work.
With two works to support her, An Xiaoxi can completely lie down.
While An Xiaoxi was lying down at home, Hao Yun followed Jiang Wen to meet Mo Yan.
In those days, the movie "Red Sorghum" directed by Zhang Yimou and starred by Jiang Wen was adapted from Mo Yan's two novellas "Red Sorghum" and "Sorghum Wine". Mo Yan was invited to the set and was also considered one of the screenwriters of the movie.
When filming the movie, Jiang Wen found that he couldn't beat Zhang Yimou, so he drank a big bowl of sorghum wine in one breath.
Then a dramatic scene happened. He took advantage of the alcohol and insisted on pulling Mo Yan to take off his clothes. Mo Yan was forced to sacrifice himself for art, leaving behind photos of Mo Yan, Jiang Wen, and Zhang Yimou taking off their shirts.
In fact, Gong Huang was also in the photo, but she didn't want to take off her clothes like everyone else.
Not sociable at all.
Later, Jiang Wen kicked the thermos bottle in Mo Yan's house and broke it. In the 1980s, it was the most valuable thing in Mo Yan's family. The whole family was very distressed. No wonder Mo Yan still feels upset about it and wants Jiang Wen to return the thermos bottle to him.
The two have a good relationship.
This time Jiang Wen brought Hao Yun to visit Mo Yan and agreed to visit Shi Tiesheng together.
Hao Yun liked Shi Tiesheng very much and mentioned it to Jiang Wen, and then this trip was made.
Shi Tiesheng said that some things are only suitable for collection. They cannot be said or thought about, but they cannot be forgotten.
When he evaluated Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises", he said that Jiang Wen used dreams or yearnings as a comparison, saw through boredom and helplessness, and compared "The Sun" with Goethe's "Faust".
Hearing that Shi Tiesheng was very ill, Jiang Wen also wanted to go and see it.
Then he made an appointment with Yu Hua.
Yu Hua has a famous novel called "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood". He once hoped that Jiang Wen could make it into a movie. Jiang Wen finished the script, but when it was submitted for review, it was rejected because the script was too "realistic".
In addition, Jiang Wen was banned from being a director for five years because of "The Devils on the Doorstep", so this matter fell through.
"Oh, this is a luxury car today."
Yu Hua and Hao Yun imagined that this person who wrote "To Live" and "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" actually has a humorous personality.
"Not only luxury cars, but also yachts!"
Mo Yan chatted with Hao Yun all the way and felt that Hao Yun was quite compatible with him. In fact, he didn't know that Hao Yun had already pulled out all his attributes. Anyone would think that Hao Yun was compatible with him.
"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Hao Yun." Yu Hua looked very surprised.
"No, no, just call me Xiao Hao." Hao Yun was ashamed. These literati were not easy to deal with.
Come here, let me pull some.
"If I had known you earlier, I could have eaten your banquet." Yu Hua looked very regretful.
"Believe it or not, I am a good cook. I will cook for you when I go to Mr. Shi's house today."
After Hao Yun pulled out the attributes and slapped them on himself, he was no longer worried about not being able to deal with Yu Hua.
"Oh, if I had said it earlier, I would not have eaten last night."
"Give me the things and put them in the trunk." Hao Yun took it. He had no reason to be restrained for such an old naughty boy.
Yu Hua was carrying a lot of things, even two live fish, which were taken by Hao Yun and put in the trunk of the Maybach, not minding at all that his luxury car worth tens of millions of yuan was dirty.
Yu Hua praised the luxury car for being comfortable as soon as he got in the car.
The four of them were fully seated, and there was laughter in the car, which did not seem like they were visiting an old friend who was seriously ill.
He was indeed the one who arranged for Shi Tiesheng to be the goalkeeper.
