The next day, Cheng Yuan asked the crew driver to take the young lady to the airport.

He returned to the set and continued filming.

In the market, watching the box office of "Those Years" rising steadily, "Martial Arts" has been overwhelmed. Let alone 500 million, it will be blessed by Bodhisattva to have 200 million.

Then "Martial Arts" started to act like a monster: "We were stolen from the box office!"

If it weren't for Xingmei's Xuanfa's real talent, this would be the time to do this.

The first person to be suspected was "The Founder of the Party", who was said to have a political mission and the motive of stealing box office.

Because the current box office performance of "The Founding of the Party" is not ideal, it barely exceeded 300 million in one month of release.

But the relevant person in charge of China Film Group responded: "Generally, small films steal the box office of blockbuster films, because small films give theaters a higher share, and small films steal the box office of blockbuster films and theaters get higher profits. "The Founding of the Party" is a blockbuster film, so I won't do it.

This kind of thing."

If a small film steals the box office of a blockbuster movie, who else can it be? The only one left is "Those Years".

Will you care about him remotely?

How to promote it or how to promote it.

The cast and crew of "Martial Arts" began to post weird comments on Weibo, including director Chen Kexin:

"No matter how powerful the martial arts actor is, he can't steal the box office."

Yuan Yuan is not thinking about "Martial Arts" at all right now. "Transformers 3" will be released in a few days. "Those Years" will try its best to promote and gain box office in the last few days.

But silence at this time is equivalent to disguised admission in the eyes of the outside world.

"Those Years" has been in theaters for 16 days, and the box office has officially exceeded 300 million. "Transformers 3" has begun to be screened on a small scale, and the promotion can be temporarily stopped.

Remote Media held a grand celebration party for "Those Years" in Beijing.

Liu Yifei attended the event dressed up, which was her own victory at the box office.

It has proven its box office appeal in the domestic market, with a new director and new actors, and has achieved good results of 300 million box office.

Liu Yifei must have contributed to this, and her remuneration was converted into investment shares. She made a lot of money from such a high box office.

"Director Cheng came to visit the class once." Huang Bo shared interesting stories about the filming on stage. Although he was a guest star, the 300 million box office was his best result since he started filming. The leading actors except Liu Yifei were all newcomers, so he was honest.

I would like to say a few more words politely, "Originally, that day we were going to shoot the ending scene where Ke Jingteng kisses Shen Jiayi, but when Director Cheng came, the director changed the shooting plan on the spot."

Liu Yifei defended her boyfriend: "He is not so stingy."

"How did Yang Yang feel about rehearsing this scene?"

"I'm at a loss." Yang Yang answered honestly, "I was completely confused that day."

At the celebration banquet, Chen Zhixi also responded to the doubts about "Those Years" stealing the box office these days:

"Now that the media, especially Weibo, is so developed and news channels are so plentiful, it is very risky and stupid to do this kind of thing, not to mention that our previous movies also suffered from box office theft. How could we possibly do this kind of thing?"

"I heard that in some production crews, a hat for the protagonist costs 6,000 US dollars, and it also comes with a safe to lock it. The box follows the protagonist wherever he goes. A pair of straw sandals costs more than 3,000 dollars, and they are all antiques. That hat and

What is the difference between straw sandals and ordinary ones, and how will it be different when shown in the camera?"

"How much can you steal from box office stealing? Three million or five million? Care about the three to five million. If you use cleaner hands when shooting, you can save two to three million."

"I also advise some of our investors to keep their eyes open, and don't just focus on the stars, thinking that the crew is just big names so they can invest money. When the movie is released, you will curse your mother for the loss, and the director will buy a new villa."

I didn't mention him by name, but netizens all knew that Chen Zhixi was talking about "Martial Arts". Back then, "Martial Arts" happily used the out-of-print straw hat as marketing.

This time it was hammered to death.

The crew of "Martial Arts" collectively lost their voices and kept silent about the box office.

No one is worried about whether "Those Years" stole the box office anymore.

After Liu Yifei finished the promotion of "Those Years", she only had two days of rest, and then she had to rush to promote "My Love from the Star". "My Love from the Star" will premiere on Lychee Channel on August 2.

Then, "Transformers 3" came.

The zero point score was 12 million, breaking the record of "Avatar", with 94 million on the first day, setting a single-day record for the domestic film market. It then broke its own single-day record on Saturday the 23rd, with 104 million collected on the same day.

Taking up more than 75% of the screen, including "Those Years", all other film schedules during the same period were cut in half.

The entire market was eaten up by the big machine in one go.

In the first week, it exceeded 400 million in 4 days and 500 million in 9 days.

But there are also bad voices. Some people say that "Transformers 3" and "Yang Shanzhou" are selling tickets in a bundle - the combined ticket for the two movies is 80 yuan, of which "Yang Shanzhou" tickets are 60 yuan and "Transformers 3" is 20 yuan.

It is said to be a secret order from above.

When Cheng Yu'an learned about this bundling method, he was so angry that he couldn't say anything. What's the use of this false book prosperity? It also belittles domestic movies.

…………

Cheng Yuan finished filming in Macau and moved to South Korea. It was on this day that news came from Venice.

The shortlist for the 68th Venice International Film Festival has been announced.

If last year was a year of decline for Chinese-language films in Venice—none of them were shortlisted—then this year can be said to be a year when Chinese-language films flourished in Venice.

In the main competition section alone, four Chinese-language films were shortlisted: Choi Shang-jun's "The Crowd", Johnnie To's "The King", Ann Hui's "Sister Peach", and Wei Desheng's "Sediq Bale".

Cheng Yuan's "Hunting" is a foreign language film.

"The shortlist for the 68th Venice Film Festival has been announced, and Chinese filmmaker Shuicheng is so brilliant!"

Of course, the report included Cheng Yuan and introduced "Hunting", but deliberately did not mention that "Hunting" is a foreign language film.

At the media visit that day, Cheng Yu'an was asked about this year's trip to Venice. Cheng Yu'an said: "First of all, "Hunting" is a foreign language film." I didn't want to clear up the relationship, I just didn't want the audience to misunderstand.

"I'm very surprised to be shortlisted." Well, if you look at last year's reports, you will know that if the film that Mark Muller personally booked was not shortlisted, it would be dead.

"Does Director Cheng have any expectations for the other Chinese-language films that are jointly nominated?"

"I haven't seen the movie yet, and I plan to go to the film festival to watch it. But since it has been shortlisted, I believe in the judgment of the Venice judges."

"We are trying to finish filming "A League of Thieves" before the opening of the film festival, but time is still tight." Cheng Yu'an admitted the difficulties of filming.

Of course, CJ, Lotte and other partners welcome the arrival of the "Thieves" crew, but after all, in a foreign country, even with the protection of local snakes, there are still many inconveniences.

Domestically, the promotion of "Star You" seems a bit weak because of the absence of Cheng Yu'an.

The audience is just waiting for Cheng and Liu to get together.

Liu Yifei had to take the trouble to explain to the audience: "Director Cheng is still filming in South Korea and cannot return to China."
