Chapter 1001
: Five Heroes Clash for Supremacy!
We're back!
inside the room.
Everyone turned to look, and Liu Xiaoli and Shen Xiaoqin were overjoyed.
Chen Yu and Liu Yifei did not call to inform them of their return this time, but they could roughly guess that it would be around this time.
"Our Grand Slam winner is back."
Liu Xiaodong and the others had already come over, and when they saw Liu Yifei and Chen Yu, their faces were filled with joy.
"We were guessing that they would definitely be back by tomorrow at the latest."
"I didn't expect you to come back so soon."
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoli's words, Liu Yifei smiled and looked at her boyfriend.
"Clang clang—"
"We couldn't wait to come back and share the good news with everyone."
Liu Yifei held up the certificate in her hand, which Chen Yu had earned through his own hard work.
Shen Xiaoqin came to Chen Yu.
Her eyes were filled with pride when she noticed her son's achievements.
"You must be tired after a long day of driving, right?"
"Don't stand at the door, come inside and wash your hands, we're going to eat."
Shen Xiaoqin quickly greeted them.
In fact.
For her, the happiest thing is having her children by her side.
Chen Yu dragged his luggage inside, and the two of them finally returned to their long-missed home.
Chen Peidong looked at the certificate placed on the coffee table.
“Your mother and I watched the whole Golden Rooster Awards ceremony yesterday.”
"My son has really made something of himself."
After hearing Chen Peidong's words, Liu Yifei's smile deepened.
"At the time, 'Aftershock' won three awards in a row, and I was a little shocked when I was there."
When she said this, Liu Yifei did not exaggerate at all.
She was indeed shocked at the time.
after all.
The film won Best Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Feature Film.
This situation is relatively rare at the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony.
These two rare occurrences were entirely accomplished by Chen Yu.
Upon hearing Liu Yifei's words, everyone present was visibly proud.
The whole family sat around the dining table, and laughter filled the villa once again.
at night.
Chen Yu and Liu Yifei returned to their room.
The long journey they endured today did not feel arduous to them.
"We are getting closer and closer to our agreement."
The two sat on the balcony.
The weather in October was somewhat muggy, but a few wisps of cool breeze occasionally drifted in through the window, giving them a moment of relief.
"Ah."
Chen Yu tightened his grip on Liu Yifei's shoulder.
This moment.
The agreement between them was no longer just an agreement, but a passport for them to truly step into each other's lives.
Are you confident?
Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei couldn't help but laugh.
Yes! I have confidence in you.
"Anyway, this agreement only needs to be fulfilled by either of us, right?"
Upon hearing Liu Yifei's words, Chen Yu reached out and flicked Liu Yifei's head.
"You're quite good at being cunning and sly."
Faced with Chen Yu's accusations, Liu Yifei couldn't help but purse her lips.
to be frank.
She made no attempt to conceal what she had just said.
"Mulan" has not yet been released, so it remains to be seen how well it will perform.
However, it's practically a done deal that "Joker" will win an award.
After all, whether in terms of box office performance or the impact of the film, Joker is undoubtedly No. 1.
"I have the same confidence in 'Mulan'."
Chen Yu looked at Liu Yifei.
Putting everything else aside, this version has undergone significant changes in both the plot and the filming.
At least it is more in line with the tastes of Chinese people.
In his view, progress is a matter for two people.
If possible, he also hopes that Liu Yifei can win an Oscar.
"Finally, I can take a break for a while."
Liu Yifei lay back down on the bed.
This time, apart from the release of a few movies, they really had nothing else to deal with.
Filming for this year has ended, and for the time being, the two of them are simply waiting for the Oscars to arrive.

August 25, 2010, 8:10 AM.
Jiang Wen and Yu Xin announced the release date of "Let the Bullets Fly" in real time.
After the release date was announced, the entire industry was once again abuzz with excitement.
It's the Lunar New Year film season again!
This time, countless works are vying for release during the Lunar New Year holiday season.
They are all basically big productions.
The production quality of "Mulan" and "Let the Bullets Fly" is beyond doubt.
As a work that promotes the heroic women of China, Chen Yu spared no expense in filming it.
As for "Let the Bullets Fly".
The fact that they promoted the film so prominently at the Cannes Film Festival was enough to demonstrate how much Chen Yu and Jiang Wen valued it.

[With films like *Sacrifice*, *Let the Bullets Fly*, and *If You Are the One 2*, could Ge You be the biggest winner of this Lunar New Year film season?]
Five films vie for the top spot in the Lunar New Year film season; can "Mulan," the only female-oriented film, break through the competition?
[A Battle of Titans: The Five Kings of the Lunar New Year Film Season Clash Head-to-Head, but "Let the Bullets Fly" Remains Unfazed!]
When Liu Yifei woke up, she immediately started looking through today's news.
His expression carried a hint of melancholy.
to be frank.
This competition is indeed putting immense pressure on people.
This year's Lunar New Year film season is more outrageous than any previous one.
It completely turned Chinese-language films into a hodgepodge.
It then flipped downwards.
The comments from netizens have undoubtedly fueled the fire to burn even brighter.
"Is Uncle Ge going to dominate the screen? He's in three out of five movies."
"Let's skip 'The Orphan of Zhao'! Who wants to watch such a tearful and tearful story during the Chinese New Year?"
"Trust me! Go see 'Mulan,' you should watch movies with strong female leads like this."
"This time I want to see if Jiang Wen can make money while standing up."
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions.
Before long, it went viral.
Liu Yifei tried her best to relax. As Chen Yu had said before, the movie hadn't been released yet, so she couldn't rush to deny herself.
only.
This year's trend is really too outrageous.
These situations combined are really a headache.
"You've made something of yourself."
"I haven't been sleeping in late these past few days."
Chen Yu's voice came from behind her, and when Liu Yifei looked over, a slight smile appeared on her face.
"Oh no, our backyard is going to catch fire this time."
The sudden words left Chen Yu with some doubts.
"what happened?"
Liu Yifei's words seemed cryptic, which aroused some suspicion in Chen Yu.
"All five films for the Lunar New Year season are now available."
After hearing what his girlfriend said, Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh.
"You should think about it, right now the one under the most pressure is probably Uncle Ge."
Ok?
Chen Yu's words left Liu Yifei somewhat puzzled, but she quickly came to her senses.
He has a role in all three films released during the Lunar New Year season, so the promotion and distribution of these films will have to be done in that order.
Liu Yifei pushed over the comments from netizens, most of which were discussing today's topic.
In general.
"Let the Bullets Fly" made its grand finale appearance, undoubtedly bringing the war to its climax.
Ring ring—
As the two were discussing this issue, Jiang Wen's call arrived as scheduled.
have to say.
This time, they can be said to have made meticulous calculations for the two films.
Jiang Wen's film is still scheduled for the Lunar New Year season.
As for "Mulan," it's scheduled for release on December 16th.
The release date for "The Laughing Swordsman" is December 3rd, while "Sacrifice" is scheduled for the following day.
Next up was the release of "Mulan".
The reason for placing "Mulan" relatively early in the film's release schedule, besides ensuring it meets the required release period, is also due to another reason—
Apart from "Mulan", the box office performance of the other four films, "The Laughing Swordsman" and "Sacrifice", was not particularly outstanding.
This way, it won't excessively affect the performance of "Mulan".
As for "If You Are the One 2", it will still be released on December 22nd as originally scheduled.
"Let the Bullets Fly" was originally scheduled to be released on December 16, but the prime time for the Lunar New Year holiday was given to "Mulan," so after much deliberation, it was set for January 1.
These are the release dates for the five films.
"Director Chen, are you satisfied with the time arrangement this time?"
Jiang Wen's voice came from the other end of the phone, which made Chen Yu laugh.
to be frank.
The Lunar New Year film season has a relatively long run.
Normally, big-budget films tend to cluster in the most intense core battle zones.
However, this time, because of "Mulan", it can only be separated from "Let the Bullets Fly" in terms of timeline.
Chen Yu believed in the strength of "Let the Bullets Fly" this time, so he did not hesitate or waver at all from beginning to end.
"not bad."
"Brother Wen, don't worry."
"Let the Bullets Fly will do well at the box office this time."
Jiang Wen was naturally delighted upon hearing Chen Yu's words.
"That's natural."
"I've already made my intentions clear, this time I'm definitely going to earn the money with my head held high."
Upon hearing Jiang Wen's words, Liu Yifei couldn't help but chuckle.
This time.
Because the timing was negotiable, Chen Yu prioritized setting the prime-time slot.
No matter what you say.
We've secured the prime-time slot; everything is ready except for the final push.
"you say--"
Which of these five films has the best chance of becoming the box office champion?
Jiang Wen's words made Chen Yu fall into deep thought.
If judged by the box office performance of the previous life, "Let the Bullets Fly" is undoubtedly the box office champion among these works.
The film's final box office grossed 6.54 million yuan, far surpassing other films.
As for this time...
The addition of "Mulan" has made the situation seem unclear at present.
The previous life.
Although Mulan was a box office flop, it did perform quite well online.
To be honest, the root cause is the excessive Westernization of the script.
"this."
There is no definitive answer at the moment.
Chen Yu did not explicitly state what he was thinking.
Only when the outcome is unknown can one experience joy upon learning the result.
"I think the champion will be chosen from either 'Mulan' or 'Let the Bullets Fly'."
Upon hearing Jiang Wen's words, Chen Yu smiled and looked at Liu Yifei.
This is probably what he was thinking as well.
"Look at you."
"You're keeping it from me."
Jiang Wen spoke with a hint of teasing, but his tone was full of ambition.
The film "The Sun Also Rises" did not bring him good results.
As for this time, the return of "Let the Bullets Fly" will definitely provide a satisfactory answer.
"Both of these films are of high quality, and it would be only natural for either one to win the box office crown."
They heard Chen Yu's reply.
Jiang Wen then burst into laughter.
At the same time.
Huayi Brothers.
The buzz surrounding the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony has not yet completely died down.
The fact that Wang Zhongjun took the initiative to show goodwill to Chen Yu is still a topic of conversation among everyone.
As for this time...
The confirmed release of "Let the Bullets Fly" has undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.
"This time, we're truly caught between a rock and a hard place."
Wang Zhonglei rubbed his temples.
The idiom "caught between a rock and a hard place" perfectly describes their current situation.
Caught between "Mulan" and "Let the Bullets Fly," there seems to be no way to stand out.
"Won't we be suppressed and beaten again this time?"
Just like with the last one, "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame," the release of "Joker" can be said to have completely overwhelmed Huayi Brothers.
Throughout the entire National Day holiday period, they had no room to resist.
"Even without these two films, there will be other films in the Lunar New Year film season."
Wang Zhongjun looked at his younger brother.
In this regard.
There was absolutely no change in emotion.
As he just said, it's better to compete with "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Mulan" than to lose to other little-known films.
That way, even if we lose, it won't be too embarrassing.
"Is this the time to be agonizing over these issues?"
Wang Zhonglei's emotions had reached their peak.
Their current concern is no longer about losing to either side, but rather that if Huayi Brothers continues to operate in this way, bankruptcy will likely be their only option.
"Our company has now suffered consecutive box office failures."
"Are we just going to stand by and watch Huayi become a loser?"
Wang Zhongjun naturally sensed his younger brother's anger.
However, there was no comment on this.
to be frank.
In the film and television industry, there are always winners and losers.
Unfortunately, they failed to adopt the right attitude from the very beginning.
As a result, every film he made ended up losing everything after clashing with Chen Yu's movies.
"Xiao Lei".
Do you think you can solve your current predicament in your current state?
Wang Zhonglei was momentarily speechless at his brother's words.
His face instantly turned even more unpleasant.
"Before participating in the Golden Rooster Awards, I had already mentioned that I should stop trying to compete with Chen Yu."
"Chen Yu has undoubtedly become a trendsetter for the future of Chinese-language films."
“There is no benefit in continuing to fight him.”
Wang Zhongjun's voice rang in my ears.
The latter showed a hint of anger on his face when he heard this.
A moment later, however, he could only suppress his anger.
"A loss is a loss."
"An opponent like Chen Yu has a very clear objective!" (End of Chapter)
