Soaring Domestic Box Office!
Chapter 531 Soaring Domestic Box Office!
Inside the house.
As a representative of high-end private restaurants in Beijing, it focuses on exquisiteness and a private environment.
"I'll bring you a drink."
"Wishing 'My Old Classmate' a smooth filming process."
Guo Fan drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
People are in high spirits when they have good news, and Guo Fan couldn't be happier at this moment.
I just got the script I was looking for yesterday, and today I finished casting for "My Old Classmate".
Life has been so smooth.
However, he could only serve as the producer for "My Old Classmate," and he was also powerless to do so for "The Martian." He had to finish "The Wandering Earth" first.
Guo Fan looked at Chen Jin beside him, and naturally knew that all of this stemmed from the person next to him.
"Mr. Chen, I must toast you."
"Thank you for your continued support of my work."
Chen Jin put down his chopsticks. He was so hungry that his stomach was practically sticking to his back, and he didn't care about anything else.
"cheers."
The clinking of the wine glasses was quite crisp, just like Guo Fan's mood at that moment.
Gao Xiaosong sat to the side. His work was different from that of Chen Jin and others. His main focus was on talk shows and other variety shows.
Besides.
He is also quite accomplished in composing music.
However, compared to Chen Jin in front of him, these are nothing.
Judging from its current popularity and buzz.
If Chen Jin dares to claim to be number one, then probably no one would dare to claim to be number two.
With both strength and influence, plus the recent blockbuster movie "Fast & Furious 6".
In just one week since its release, the box office has already exceeded 10 billion yuan.
OK.
Chen Jin's irresistible charm has captivated everyone.
"Brother Jin, thank you."
Gao Xiaosong picked up the wine glass in his hand; he had always wanted to say this to Chen Jin.
If Chen Jin hadn't spoken up when expressing the intention to cooperate earlier, there wouldn't have been such an opportunity.
Chen Jin nodded without saying much.
This matter would not do him any harm, so there was no need for him to hesitate.
Although the movie "My Old Classmate" received a lot of criticism, its box office performance in mainland China at the time far exceeded expectations.
It even became a dark horse in the phenomenon of youth films.
Even putting those reasons aside, the female lead in this movie and Zhu Yanmanzi are quite a good match.
There's simply no reason to refuse.
Make money, not shabby.
They ate the meal without any pressure, and it could be said that all of them had achieved their goals.
Gao Xiaosong has achieved his dream, and Guo Fan has taken another step closer to his favorite subject matter.
As for Zhu Yanmanzi...
There's another script to be filmed this year, so why not?
After a satisfying meal, everyone went home.
After dealing with the casting issues, we also had a meal together.
By the time Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanz arrived home, it was nearly evening.
Yan Ning has been cooking all sorts of meals for Chen Jin and the others these past two days, so much so that Zhu Yanmanzi and the others could smell the aroma of food as soon as they pushed open the door.
"Mom, what delicious food have you made?"
Zhu Yanmanzi went to the kitchen.
Just then, Yan Ning brought out a pot of three-layered duck, and the whole living room was instantly filled with a wonderful aroma.
"smell good--"
Zhu Yanmanzi looked at her mother, who naturally knew that this was Chen Jin's favorite flavor.
As a famous Huaiyang dish, Yan Ning spent a very long time learning how to make it.
Just getting the ingredients requires a lot of effort.
"Come and try this, Xiao Chen. I made it especially for you."
"We don't know how it will taste yet."
Just by smelling it, you can tell how rich and flavorful it is.
Chen Jin responded.
He quickly washed his hands and sat down at the dining table.
The dishes they just ate were supposed to be exquisite, but the portions were actually very small.
If you're looking to discuss business or have a drink, that place definitely has a great atmosphere.
But it's really difficult to get enough to eat.
Zhu Yanmanzi looked at the food on the table, her stomach already rumbling with anticipation.
"Mom, you even made twice-cooked pork!"
Zhu Yanmanzi picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and ate with great satisfaction.
Since she doesn't need to film during this period, Zhu Yanmanzi is finally able to eat a meal according to her own taste.
A family of four sitting together happily for a meal is noticeably more delicious than a meal at a restaurant.
After meal.
Zhu Yanmanz sat on a bench on the balcony.
The consequence of eating two dinners a day is that my stomach feels a bit uncomfortable from being so full.
So much so.
I don't even have the strength to move.
Chen Jin watched his girlfriend from the side, and her cute appearance was more and more endearing.
At the same time, it went viral again across the internet.
The completion of casting for "My Old Classmate" has undoubtedly attracted the attention of industry insiders.
When CETC announced that it would be filming "My Old Classmate", many people were eager to try it out.
after all.
They would be willing to appear in any of the shows produced by the China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC), even if it's just as a minor role.
Unfortunately, Guo Fan had already made it clear when he released the news that he would not hire any popular celebrities.
The media reporters have gathered a great deal of information today.
As a result, the top trending topics on major portal websites have already swept across the country by now.
Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanzi appeared together at the casting ceremony for "My Old Classmate"!
[The casting for "My Old Classmate" holds a secret: Is she the one in the junior group?]
[Gao Xiaosong's classic IP is finally coming to the screen. Is he or she your choice?]
The news exploded online instantly.
The news sparked much discussion, especially when people learned that Zhu Yanmanzi had added a new work; their words clearly revealed their surprise and excitement.
Love the house and the bird.
Everyone already knew about their relationship.
As for this time...
Chen Jin's unabashed behavior at the Berlin Film Festival ignited their relationship to its peak.
and so--
Even if the female lead is predetermined, the audience feels it's only natural.
"The casting is perfect; Zizi is an absolute perfect match for this pure love folk song."
"I think Zhu Yanmanz can perfectly embody Zhou Xiaozhi's stubborn yet fragile nature."
"expect!"
Netizens are also quite supportive.
After all, Zhu Yanmanzi's acting skills are excellent, and she can completely draw people into the story.
"My Old Classmate" itself tells the story of the emotional turmoil between teenagers during their adolescence.
Only by casting real teenagers can you create this sense of immersion.
Zhu Yanmanzi's hair fluttered in the wind; this moment could be described as serene and peaceful.
……
2013年7月2日，《速度与激情6》上映的第12天。
Its box office in mainland China has exceeded 20 billion yuan.
Such an epic moment has never occurred in China before.
For a while.
There's an undercurrent of tension across the entire internet.
Industry insiders are completely focused on Chen Jin's work.
20 billion. This is simply an unimaginable achievement.
Putting everything else aside, they can only attribute this success to Chen Jin, since the Fast & Furious series has never achieved such results before.
Even if it exceeds 100 million, it will only be a single digit.
As for this time, it directly broke through 20 billion, and this achievement is not even over yet.
The level has been steadily rising.
Vin Diesel, far across the ocean, has already witnessed Chen Jin's strength.
He was glad he had made the decision he did earlier; it was a box office machine.
As long as he's in a film, there's absolutely no need to worry about box office performance.
To know.
When Fast & Furious 5 was released in China, it only grossed 2.51 million RMB at the box office.
The difference between 2.51 million and 20 billion.
Anyone with eyes can see that.
In an instant, even the entire Hollywood began to be thrown into turmoil.
All eyes were on the Chinese market. They knew that the success of "Fast & Furious 6" was due not only to Chen Jin's personal box office appeal but also to the entire Chinese market.
They had previously underestimated the potential of the Chinese market.
obviously.
This gave them a rather shocking situation.
It's not just Vin Diesel who's aware of the problem; Sean Black has also recognized it.
Iron Man 3 was made possible by his countless efforts.
Although it grossed 10.45 billion yuan in China, demonstrating the potential of the Chinese market, its run was much longer than that of "Fast & Furious 6".
This time.
It's obvious that they were completely overwhelmed by this work, and they had absolutely no chance to turn things around.
Sean Black was somewhat disheartened.
However, he couldn't blame others; he couldn't very well say outright that he couldn't stand seeing others achieve better results than him.
think carefully.
If Fast & Furious 6 hadn't been released at the same time, this result might have been quite good. Unfortunately, compared to Fast & Furious 6, Iron Man 3's box office performance was clearly lackluster.
Chen Jin had just woken up when she heard the buzzing sound from her phone.
Clearly, someone sent a message.
Zhu Yanmanz wrapped her arms around Chen Jin's and snuggled closer into his embrace.
Yan Ning had long since turned a blind eye to it.
After all, the two children had a stable relationship and rarely even argued.
In matters of the heart, she naturally has no way to interfere too much.
Chen Jin swiped her phone to reveal a flood of congratulatory text messages.
Not only industry insiders in China, but also stars from all over Hollywood who had worked with him sent messages.
Besides that, there were missed calls from Chen Su and Vin Diesel.
It was as if they were about to smash his phone to pieces.
They had already drunk some wine last night, and chatted with Zhu Yanmanzi until late at night. When they woke up, it was almost noon, so it seemed they had missed some good news.
Chen Jin clicked into the chat room to hear news.
Most of the comments were congratulating him on "Fast & Furious 6" surpassing the 20 billion mark at the box office.
This achievement was accomplished in just 12 days.
This is enough to demonstrate just how stable the box office performance of "Fast & Furious 6" is.
After replying to all the messages from her friends, Chen Jin finally clicked on the online news about "Fast & Furious 6".
Without exception.
Almost all of them received extremely high praise.
In particular, Fast & Furious 6 broke Chinese film history records frequently in its early days of release.
First day, first weekend, and the 10 billion mark.
Now that they've surpassed 20 billion, their ambitions clearly have shifted elsewhere.
No one dared to imagine what Fast & Furious 6 would achieve; it was simply a nightmare.
He single-handedly achieved this result.
Both domestically and internationally, people have fallen into an extreme frenzy.
Especially for Vin Diesel and Paul Walker, this achievement was completely unexpected.
They had assumed that their box office performance in North America was already number one.
Never thought about it.
The strength of China completely overturned their understanding.
When Zhu Yanmanz woke up, she noticed that Chen Jin was browsing news online.
She leaned over and took a peek.
For a moment, they were dumbfounded.
"23 billion?"
Seeing that the person beside her had woken up, Chen Jin took the opportunity to pull Zhu Yanmanzi into his arms.
"You're not mistaken."
"Fast & Furious 6 has grossed 23 billion yuan in the past 12 days."
"It seems my prediction was correct."
Zhu Yanmanzi's shocked expression lasted for a long time; her brain was even somewhat unable to process what she was seeing.
What kind of achievement is this?
23 million.
To date, only one film in all of China has achieved such a feat—John Wick!
25 billion+!
But Fast & Furious 6 is still showing in theaters, and there's even a middle period before its release.
Zhu Yanman forced herself to calm down; it really was a perfect storm of timing, location, and people.
Whether it's the release date, the actors in the film, or the location of the release.
Only when these three factors are combined can such a box office success be achieved.
"Honey, you're so amazing."
"You guessed almost exactly right."
Zhu Yanmanz couldn't help but give a thumbs up; this result would likely shock everyone for a long time.
Actually.
Hollywood is indeed in a state of "panic" right now.
A young Chinese actor, with his outstanding box office appeal, has demonstrated the power of the Chinese market to the world.
In this situation.
In the future, international blockbusters will place their Chinese release dates among the first to premiere globally.
The issuance strategy will also change.
In reality, none of these things were particularly advantageous to them.
As for Chen Jin, she already has absolute control over this matter.
Acting is a piece of cake for him; what he needs to do now is not just to win the Best Actor award.
He wants to fully open up domestic and international markets and bring Chinese films to a larger platform.
of course.
This is a long and arduous task, and it's certainly not something he can accomplish just by talking about it.
However, now that he has a goal, he will definitely continue to work hard in that direction.
Huayi at this moment.
After a series of setbacks, seeing "Fast & Furious 6" surpass 20 billion at the box office has made me feel calm.
Chen Jin's existence had long threatened their position.
In addition, there is the influence of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC).
Wang Zhonglei absolutely could not accept a new company trying to climb over their head.
"Damn it!"
He clenched his fists instinctively.
Wang Zhonglei's face had long since turned extremely grim.
Chen Jin has been in the spotlight lately, both during the early stages of filming and recently with the box office success of "Fast & Furious 6".
Chen Jin's popularity is now on a completely different level.
"If we let him continue to act so arrogantly, what future will Huayi have?"
Wang Zhongjun did not respond much to his younger brother's words.
This moment, that moment.
Going head-on with Chen Jin now would be like throwing an egg against a rock!
