Chapter 610: Encounter while walking the dog
It is not easy for the Koreans to get the US$35 million, they have to work.
When Cheng Yu'an returned home, Liu Yifei was already asleep.
She can sleep now better than before and sleeps more than 12 hours a day.
Aunt Zhao welcomed Cheng Yu'an in: "Yifei went to bed first and asked me to let you eat these meals."
Before getting on the plane, Cheng Yuan's assistant told Liu Yifei that he was so angry in Korea that he left without even eating dinner. Liu Yifei specifically asked Aunt Zhao to leave some food for Cheng Yuan.
Cheng Yuan watched the Lunar New Year war report while eating.
The trend of "One Step Away" is getting lower and lower. Today it has grossed 460 million yuan. With an investment of 300 million yuan, this film will definitely lose all its money.
"Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" was released for 8 days until the 31st, and it grossed 320 million in its first weekend. Due to the impact of working days, the three days this week were around 20 million in a single day. As of today, the box office has approached 400 million.
Gu Changwei's "Micro Love" also had a box office of 150 million.
It is worth mentioning that Tudou Pictures' first theatrical movie "One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes". This group of weirdos achieved amazing results when they debuted in theaters. It grossed 11.48 million in the first half day (first day).
The animation invested 10 million yuan, and the production cost was recovered on the day of release.
This animated film is so unorthodox from the pre-marketing to the actual content.
The spoof marketing terminology used before the release of "One Hundred Thousand Jokes" was: "Audiences over 40 years old should be accompanied by teenagers to watch."
It is true that Tudoupi's publicity and distribution expenses for "One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes" were too small, only 2.87 million.
Movies can hardly afford offline advertising, so all the money is spent on online marketing.
The movie got off to a very good start, arousing heated discussions on the Internet. In such a tight schedule at the end of the year, it is not easy for a movie with a cost of 10 million to become a hot search on Weibo.
After dinner, Cheng Yuan went out for a walk to eat.
As mentioned before, Ziyu Villa attracted many celebrities to buy properties and live here permanently because of Cheng Yuan's stay.
Zhang Ziyi and Li Bingbing both lived here.
Cheng Yu'an was walking around the community with Liu Yifei's dog. The dog looked helpless.
It's not convenient for Liu Yifei to walk her dog now. Recently, Aunt Zhao has been in charge. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yu'an has to walk her dog again today.
It's dark outside, and only the street lights in the community are still on. Who wants to walk the dog at night?
But Cheng Yu'an didn't care and pulled the leash to signal the dog to move faster.
A nanny car drove past Cheng Yu'an and stopped not far away.
"Director Cheng." Zhang Ziyi stuck his head out to say hello.
"Hey, Ziyi, you just came back."
"Well." Zhang Ziyi said as he got out of the car and said to the driver, "You go back first, and I'll take a walk too."
Although they live in the same community, it is usually difficult for Zhang Ziyi to see Cheng Yuan. Today, she finally had to wait for him to go out to walk the dog, so why not have a good chat?
"Walking the dog so late at night." Zhang Ziyi walked with Cheng Yu'an.
"This dog keeps barking and fussing at home. Take it out for a walk."
Gouzi:???
I may not be a human, but you are a real dog.
Did I want to come out? Didn't you have to lead me out?!
Having someone to walk with makes the journey less boring, and the two of them can chat more openly.
"Why haven't you seen Yifei recently?" Zhang Ziyi asked.
Celebrities are very busy at the end of the year and have to participate in various activities, but this year everyone discovered that since the completion of "Tumor King", Liu Yifei seemed to have evaporated and disappeared from the public eye.
The only news we can get is that looking at the cars of various luxury goods dealers entering and exiting Ziyu Villa every day, the outside world infers that Liu Yifei is preparing for her wedding next year.
Cheng Yu'an kept it secret if she could: "Yifei is a little tired after filming and wants to take a break."
"How are you getting ready for the wedding?"
"It's not bad, the time is scheduled for May next year, remember to come then." Zhang Ziyi took the initiative to ask, and Cheng Yu'an had no choice but to invite him.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely be there."
Two people and one dog walked slowly and talked slowly under the bright or dark street lights in the community.
"How is Cheng Er's crew?" Zhang Ziyi is filming Cheng Er's new drama "The Demise of Romance".
"A very talented director." Zhang Ziyi said, "Isn't he from your company?" Cheng Er made a movie "Sunflower" for the company in 2005. Cheng Yu'an didn't like him and never asked him to film again. He worked in the company, but in the meantime he invested in his "Border Storm".
"No." Cheng Yuan denied, "He is my senior and he is quite talented, but he is not in the right relationship with the company and does not have much contact with him."
Zhang Ziyi smiled: "You say he is talented, so his acting is definitely good."
"It's definitely not bad, but his style is not very popular."
Zhang Ziyi didn't take this film for the sake of being a hit, she could tell. She took this film because she simply thought it was a good film and the character was worth playing.
Zhang Ziyi climbed up the pole: "When it comes to selling, who can sell better than you?"
"I'm no longer a blockbuster. "The Thief" happened 12 years ago." After "The Thief", Cheng Yu'an made two art films in a row, and they are no longer so "grossing".
"Isn't that also ranked third in China?" "The Thief"'s 1.06 billion score ranked behind "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" and "The Flower of the Heart", and fourth was "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven".
"In the future, there will be more and more films worth 1 billion. My 1 billion will probably be nothing in two years." Cheng Yu'an said with a smile.
"What are you afraid of? Don't you still have "The Wandering Earth"? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that you are aiming for the box office record of this film." Zhang Ziyi then asked, "How are the preparations going?"
Cheng Yu'an shook his head: "It went smoothly, but it was too slow. It's been half a year, and we don't even have a script yet."
Zhang Ziyi had obviously read the novel beforehand: "Can't we film it according to the original work?"
"The original story was too poor, so we have to rewrite it."
Zhang Ziyi thought for a while and came to the same conclusion: "If you need any help, please feel free to speak."
Cheng Yu'an has heard this from more than a hundred people.
Cheng Yu'an smiled and said, "I really need your help."
Zhang Ziyi's eyes lit up. Isn't this what he wanted? "Say."
"If you have money, invest 120 million in me. Special effects are too expensive."
Zhang Ziyi knew he was joking as soon as he heard this: "Are you still short of money? Ten thousand investors are waiting for you outside the door of the remote company with their money. You lack me?" Zhang Ziyi's eyes under the night revealed disappointment.
Cheng Yu'an still didn't want to invite her to film.
Cheng Yu'an sent Zhang Ziyi to her door, and Teacher Wang was waiting for her at the door.
The two greeted each other, but Cheng Yu'an declined their invitation to sit inside: "It's getting late, I should go back."
After Cheng Yuan left, Wang Feng asked Zhang Ziyi: "How was it?"
Zhang Ziyi shook his head: "He is neither short of money nor short of people. What he said is half true and half false. It is too difficult to get into his drama."
After saying that, the two turned around and entered the house.
Cheng Yu'an took the dog and went back in a circle.
