China Entertainment 1997

Although the plot of the movie "Painted Skin" has been somewhat modified, it is not particularly complicated overall.

General Wang Sheng rescued a young girl Xiao Wei who claimed to have been captured by bandits during a bandit suppression. Because she was homeless, she took her home.

Xiao Wei is smart and polite, and is very good at handling interpersonal relationships. Within a short period of time after entering the palace, she had a close relationship with Wang Sheng and his wife Pei Rong.

Wang Sheng and Pei Rong had been married for many years, but due to the seven-year itch and the lack of children, their relationship had a slight fluctuation.

The appearance of Xiao Wei intensified the intensity of this fluctuation. Wang was so excited that he became entangled with his beloved wife. The virtuous Peirong wanted to help her husband, but did not want to involve a third party.

Xiao Wei is relatively simple. She is a fox demon who has fallen in love with Wang Sheng and wants to have sex, so she is tempted and hooked up with her in various ways, and Wang Sheng is wavered repeatedly.

In this scene, there is a passionate scene between Mr. Zhou and Cao Xuan, but it is more artistic. Cao Xuan is half-naked in the hot spring pool, and Mr. Zhou, who is wearing cool clothes, seduces him enchantingly.

This paragraph in the movie plot is not a real hey hey, but Wang Sheng's fantasy under Xiao Wei's charm.

The presentation of the effect is also foreshadowed by various shots of Cao and Zhou, but when they actually hug each other, the scene switches to the hot spring pool with turbulent waves and splashing water. Click to the end, and the rest is left to your imagination.

audience:"……"

That's it? I've taken off my pants, are you showing me this?

Zinima, refund your money! ! !

The first 1/3 of the whole movie is basically a triangle relationship with all kinds of tangled hookups. It also foreshadows Xiao Wei's desire to eat, which makes the people in the city panic and attracts the demon-conquering man Duan Long.

The appearance of Duan Long quickly brought about a plot twist.

Wang Sheng led the troops to suppress the evildoers every day. His wife Pei Rong waited silently and comforted Wang Sheng. As the general's wife, she took care of the army's logistics and appeased the people in the city. Her gentle and virtuous nature made Wang Sheng, who was originally thinking about Xiao Wei, gradually face his inner feelings. .

So after being seduced by Xiao Wei again, she flatly refused and broke off directly.

Then Xiao Wei turned black and threatened Wang's life and the massacre of the people, forcing Pei Rong to obey his orders. He slandered Pei Rong as a monster and put the blame on Pei Rong. At the same time, he also wanted to kill her, so that he and Wang Sheng would live together.

Pei Rong drank the evil poison, turned white-haired and ugly, and looked like a demon, which attracted the fear and targeting of the people in the city.

Only two and a half people believed in him, one was the demon-conqueror who had a magic weapon at his side, and the other was the loyal maid Damimi.

The remaining half was Wang Sheng who was dubious, but public opinion was fierce. In order to maintain the majesty of the general's palace, he was determined to "exterminate relatives for justice."

But at the critical moment, the Demon Conqueror came to the rescue. During the fight, Wang Sheng injured Pei Rong and stabbed the opponent. Pei Rong was heartbroken and was rescued by the Demon Conqueror.

After this incident, Xiao Wei prepared to become his own Mrs. Wang, but when she saw that Wang Sheng seemed to have lingering feelings for her, she still worried about Pei Rong and prepared to eradicate her.

She unexpectedly learned that Peirong had sent a maid to contact Wang Sheng. Fearing that the matter would be exposed, she transformed into Wang Sheng and followed the maid to a valley.

Seeing Pei Rong who was seriously injured in the valley, Xiao Wei prepared to kill him with a fatal blow, but found that the maid suddenly ran away, and there was suddenly a demon conqueror beside Pei Rong.

After a few handprints of the Demon Conqueror, the rocks in the valley changed and fell off, and suddenly turned into a formation. Xiao Wei was restrained and suppressed by the formation, unable to maintain the painting skin and the art of transformation, revealing the fox's appearance.

At this time, a group of cavalry arrived. The leader Wang pointed his long sword and shouted: "This woman is the real demon. My wife was harmed by her. Brothers, follow me to kill the demon."

The scene flashes back, and it turns out that this is all a trap.

When Pei Rong was a demon, Wang Sheng was half-convinced on the surface, but in fact he didn't believe that Pei Rong was a demon at all. His previous appearance was just an act.

When he and the Demon Conqueror worked together to suppress the lizard spirit, the other party concluded that there was evil spirit in the house. Wang Sheng thought it was the warlock's lies and ignored it.

However, Wang Sheng's unusual behavior with Xiao Wei later made Wang Sheng a little suspicious. When he learned that Pei Rong was a demon, his first reaction was that someone was harming Pei Rong.

Therefore, before "killing relatives for justice", he reached a tacit agreement with the Demon Conqueror to rescue Pei Rong first, stabilize the situation, and then slowly take action.

Pei Rong didn't know the inside story, so she was heartbroken after being stabbed, and indirectly hid it from Xiao Wei, making her relax her vigilance.

In the next few days, Wang Sheng ostensibly dispatched troops to capture and suppress the demon-conquering people, and then gave Pei Rong the task of preparing logistics and appeasing the people.

Xiao Wei thought she was about to become the general's wife, and had a love brain attack, further letting her guard down.

Wang Sheng secretly contacted the demon-conquering person, reconciled with Pei Rong, and prepared to slay the demon.

However, Xiao Wei has great demon power and is assisted by lizard spirits. He cannot be defeated by a direct attack, and it is easy to hurt innocent people.

Therefore, we have to mobilize the tiger away from the mountain, trick the opponent outside the city, suppress it with formations, and then encircle and suppress them together.

So a few people discussed it and decided on a plan.

Xiao Wei eats because she loves eating, but also to maintain her beauty. Now that the "demon" Pei Rong has escaped, in order to ensure that Wang Sheng is not suspicious, the people in the city cannot move, and the lizard spirit can only go outside to hunt business travelers.

Without this right-hand man, Xiao Wei could only take matters into his own hands and became a bait at Pei Rong's request.

The maid brought a demon-conquering magic weapon, which could influence the opponent's thoughts and further lower Xiao Wei's vigilance. Coupled with Wang Sheng's acting and playing drums, Xiao Wei was finally forced to kill her love rival by herself.

Under the arrangement of the demon-conquering man, the valley has become a demon-conquering position. Wang Sheng quietly led a team of elite soldiers to ambush nearby, waiting for the signal to lead the troops to attack.

Xiao Wei did not expect that she would be killed by Wang Sheng and others due to her painstaking calculations.

Seeing the beloved Wang Sheng and Pei Rong looking at each other tenderly, the eyes looking at her were full of disgust and murderous intent, and then Xiao Wei completely turned black.

However, the preparatory preparations by the Demon Conqueror and Wang Sheng were no joke. Although they paid some price, they still suppressed Xiao Wei firmly.

Seeing that the overall situation was decided, the lizard spirit returned to the city and realized something was wrong. He used his magic to find Xiao Wei, destroyed the formation, and then tried his best to block the Demon Conqueror and Wang Sheng, giving Xiao Wei time to break the formation.

In the end, Wang Sheng and the two of them joined forces and at the cost of serious injuries, Wang Sheng finally hacked the lizard spirit to death, but it was too late.

Xiao Wei broke out of the formation and saw the lizard spirit dead, and became even more crazy. Wang and Sheng, who were already seriously injured, were no match at all, and the situation suddenly reversed.

Even so, Xiao Wei, who loved Wang Sheng, still didn't want to kill Wang Sheng and forced Pei Rong to commit suicide. Then she planned to erase Wang Sheng's memory and continue to live together.

Seeing this, Wang Sheng lay in the arms of Pei Rong who ran over, said something, then looked at his wife infatuatedly, and committed suicide with a knife.

After Wang Sheng died, Pei Rong was not sad. She said something to Xiao Wei, probably because we are true love, we live and die together, and we die in the same hole. She took Wang Sheng's knife and wiped her neck.

Xiao Wei was hit hard, collapsed completely, let out a desperate roar, her heart was filled with despair,

At the critical moment, the Demon Conqueror launched a fatal attack, but Xiao Wei did not dodge at all and deliberately begged for death. She stroked Wang Sheng's face and said something that it was a pity that it was not me who met you first, and then she died too.

But before she died, she used her demon elixir to revive Wang Sheng and Pei Rong.

The man who conquered the demon felt that all living beings had feelings, made great progress in cultivation, and left in a daze.

Wang Sheng and Pei Rong experienced life and death, and their relationship became more sincere and affectionate. They also gave birth to a child, and were promoted to the capital.

The carriage drove away on the official road, and a small lizard and white fox appeared on the sand dunes not far away.

It doesn't explain who they are, it's just a little easter egg, leaving a blank space for the audience to imagine.

The movie is over!

………

Compared with the plot of the original "Painted Skin", the plot framework of this version is not much different, but the details have been significantly changed.

The main one is Wang Sheng, the male protagonist. He has changed from a tool man in the original version to a brave and resourceful general, and he almost succeeded in killing the villain. His character design is quite outstanding.

There is no way, Cao Xuan is the one selling tickets for the cast and crew.

Even if he is determined to be a tool man, the screenwriter and director dare not completely ignore it, and additional scenes are inevitable.

In addition, a large number of hexagonal romances have been deleted. The Demon Conqueror alone is too monotonous. The interaction between the male protagonist and the male protagonist can better advance the plot.

As for the relationship line, there aren't many changes from the original version. The original version was a bit worse, but he still chose his wife.

This version has a better image. Although he is tempted, he has always been loyal to his wife. The so-called love triangle is more of wishful thinking.

As for the two heroines, Xiaowei has not changed much. Infatuation is the biggest character design. Although she does many evil things, the premise of everything is for Wang Sheng.

The final part where he was so frustrated and begging for death was even a little sympathetic, and the whole character was greatly improved.

Pei Rong has slightly more changes. Compared to the original version, which was restrained in every aspect and was like a doormat, this version is softer on the outside and tougher on the inside. She cooperates with her husband to fight back and defeat the little one.

If the original version of "Painted Skin" is about the mistress of the main palace fighting each other, and the male protagonist is in a dilemma, but still sides with his wife, then the Stars version is more like a couple fighting to defend their marriage, joining forces to fight the mistress.

Perhaps some of the delicate entanglement of emotions has been sacrificed, but the plot rhythm is more enjoyable.

Cao Xuan actually prefers this version.

Although he could understand the thoughts of the protagonists in the original "Painted Skin", they were indeed a bit hypocritical. If he were Wang Sheng, he would either find a way to be slept with or kill Xiao Wei.

Considering that Xiao Wei has killed countless people. Cao Xuan prefers the latter.

Of course, this is also because the combat power settings are different. The monsters in the original "Painted Skin" are more powerful, and the decent ones are basically no match, and they rely entirely on the plot to kill them.

Fanxing's version of Demon Conqueror is more capable, Wang Sheng's strength is not weak, and the decent strength is just inferior, but it is not without the ability to counterattack, so it can be counterattacked.

It's hard to say that the final change of Fanxing's version of "Painted Skin" has nothing to do with Cao Xuan.

After all, his opinions and perceptions as a big boss have a great influence on the screenwriter and director. Perhaps a few words from the script discussion meeting and specific shooting changed the tone of the movie.

The two versions of "Painted Skin" each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Which version is better can only be said to be in the eye of the beholder and in the mind of the wise.

The movie has been filmed, and it's too late to regret it. Word of mouth and box office are the most important.

The popularity of "Painted Skin" is no joke. That night, the ratings were released on Time.com. Nearly 3,000 people voted, and the initial rating was 7.6.

The comments from netizens and viewers ranged from positive to negative, with most of them being positive, but there was also a certain amount of negative.

[Long Gong Mo Yue]: Beautiful, five stars

[I'm reading]: A scam trailer. When I first compared the trailer with the plot of the movie, I almost had a split personality. I'm an old liar.

[Hungry Beauty]: Mr. Zhou’s acting skills are amazing. He plays a fox demon who doesn’t understand emotions but longs for them very vividly. Although she is quite bad, I still feel a little pity for her.

[Wang O Wang]: Old Monster Xu really has two shots at women. Mr. Zhou is amazingly beautiful, Hu Jing is also very charming, and even the little maid is much prettier than usual.

[Holding Hands Under the Rain]: It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a brave and resourceful male protagonist. I hope the boss will play more roles in the future. The first few movie series were too frustrating.

[ozZ]: Although I guessed that there would be a reversal, I didn’t expect that the male protagonist would completely play with Mr. Zhou in the palm of his hand. We have seen many beauty traps, but it is rare to see a beauty trap.

[Short hair for you in this life]: Cao Xuan, you are my god

【17yoo】：It’s awkward to play upstairs, right?

[Hello, Mr. Yin]: Actually, I think the male protagonist actually likes Xiao Wei, but she went too far and caused a rift. If she hadn't attacked Pei Rong, the male protagonist wouldn't have had to deal with her.

[Fantasy of Mountains and Seas]: Is it okay for this vixen to eat people's hearts? It would be wrong not to kill the male protagonist. Just because Mr. Zhou is good-looking, you can't take care of good and evil in vain.

[Zhang Wuyi]: That lizard spirit is quite pitiful. I think he must like Xiao Wei.

[Guqiu]: It's possible, but it's a pity that Huang Bo is a bit ugly and a bit unmatched.

[The Carrot that Ignores the Style]: I was a little disappointed just after watching the movie. Maybe it’s not my favorite subject. I thought the movie was just average.

[A special knife for killing chickens]: The story is a bit bloody, the special effects are good, three and a half stars

[Engraved on Ye]: The three actors are the highlights, let’s forget about the rest.

[Silver Bullet's Stupid]: I think Zhou Gongzi's performance in this movie is really good, completely overshadowing other actors. Personally, I think it is comparable to Maggie Cheung in "Green Snake" or other classic female screen images of Xu Laoguai.

[Wang Tian Ba ​​Dao]: I like Hu Jing better. Her explosive power may not be as strong as the character Zhou Gongzi, but she has a clean and calm atmosphere.

[Shiliting]: I also think Hu Jing’s performance has the temperament of an ancient official’s wife, not impatient, gentle and virtuous.

[Mr. Single Eyelids]: Indeed, Hu Jing’s acting skills have gotten better and better since she transformed into a movie actor. She has excelled in "When Men Are in Love", "Both of Us" and "Painted Skin"

[Flowers Fly and Leaves Fall]: No one can praise Cao Xuan. I think his performance is quite good.

[Jing Xiao]: His performance is not bad, but compared to the previous works, the room for character development is limited, and there are not as many surprises as the two actresses.

[Pang Yidian]: A garbage thief, Penguin Blog blocked my account, QQ Zone also blocked my account, if I have the ability, let Time.com also block me (the account violated community regulations and was banned for 365 days)

【…】：…………

How should I put it, Cao Xuan + Liang Xiaohuadan, the well-known IP of "Liao Zhai", is also a love magic masterpiece with special effects, many movie fans still have high expectations.

Among all the Chinese-language films this year, the discussion can be compared with "The Golden Armor" by Lao Mouzi + Fa Ge + Gong Li, and Feng Xiaogang's "The Night Banquet" is ranked behind.

Because of this, although the quality of "Painted Skin" is above the standard, it does not meet the psychological expectations of some movie fans.

Many people commented that it is just a good commercial movie, but it cannot be said to be excellent or a classic.

However, compared to the somewhat divided word-of-mouth reviews, the box office trend of "Painted Skin" is very consistent.

Go, go, go! ! !

On the first day alone, the box office exceeded 24 million, breaking the first-day box office record for Chinese-language films in the mainland. The momentum is so strong that it is jaw-dropping.

Although "Painted Skin" can achieve this result, it is largely due to its schedule.

Except for a few imported films and the Hong Kong-produced "Dragon and Tiger Gate", Painted Skin basically had no rivals in August.

Most of those imported Hollywood films have been released for more than two weeks and are in a period of decline.

The only movie that was released for less than half a month was "Dragon Tiger Gate", which was released at the end of July, but its impact was limited due to its size, which did not cause any trouble to "Painted Skin" at all.

Lao Mouzi planned a Lunar New Year slot, and Cheng Long and Feng Xiaogang insisted on National Day, finally creating an unparalleled comfortable schedule for "Painted Skin".

Coupled with Cao Xuan's "Legend" album in the first half of the year, European and American gods, and the comprehensive accumulation of previous movies, the marketing and promotion of the "Painted Skin" crew has been mixed and mixed to create a big explosion.

In the end, "Painted Skin" ushered in a rare and favorable schedule and an extremely rare huge momentum.

After grossing 24 million at the box office on the first day, it took in 18 million at the box office the next day. On the third and fourth days, which were weekends, the box office rebounded, and the cumulative total exceeded 40 million.

It grossed 80 million at the box office in four days, shocking the entire film industry.

Including Cao Xuan, no one thought that "Painted Skin" would be so strong at the box office.

The previous box office record for a Chinese-language film was "New World", which grossed 72 million in its first week.

The original "The Promise" took in 75 million at the box office in its first week, which is supposed to set a new record. However, due to the addition of "Xiu Chun Dao 2" in the same period, and the trouble with her enemy Liu Yan, the box office was greatly affected and it was a fundamental threat. Not to "New World".

Similarly, the original record of "The Promise" was set at the end of 2006, when "The Golden Armor" once again proved Lao Mouzi's box office appeal with a first-week box office of 96 million.

Cao Xuan is confident in "Painted Skin", but even so, the initial estimate of the box office in the first week was 80 million to 95 million.

Even so, some insiders feel that it is a bit radical. After all, the box office of "Painted Skin" in the first week means that the total box office of the movie "Painted Skin" is very likely to exceed 250 million, or even more.

As mentioned before, there are currently only two Chinese-language films with a box office of 200 million, one "Hero" and one "New World".

In the opinion of many people, the success of these two steps has a lot of luck and cannot be judged by common sense. At present, it is not the norm for Chinese-language films to exceed 100 million yuan.

"Painted Skin" has various bonuses. Many people only dare to estimate that there is a high probability of breaking 200 million, which is more than 250 million.

As for breaking 300 million, everyone feels that the mainland film market has not reached that point yet. Not all movies are as phenomenal as "Titanic".

But the ironclad facts tell everyone that reality is illogical. When dreaming, you need to be bolder...

………

China Film, Office

Mr. Han couldn't hold back his smile, and it felt windy when he walked for the past two days.

No way, "Painted Skin" is too faceless.

The film boasts an investment of 100 million, but the actual shooting cost is around 65 million, and including various publicity, it does not exceed 80 million.

The box office in four days exceeded 80 million. According to conservative estimates, the mainland would be 300 million. Based on an average share of 38%, the producer could also get 114 million.

The net profit is 35 million+, and this is only the mainland box office dividend. With such a high box office performance of "Painted Skin", and the story theme is not complicated, the overseas copyright can still make a fortune.

Mr. Han made a simple estimate and felt that conservatively, he could earn more than 10 million US dollars. Coupled with miscellaneous copyright operations and advertising expenses, the movie "Painted Skin" could earn at least 100 million US dollars.

China Film’s investment share is 15%, plus part of the distribution fee, and the minimum guarantee can easily exceed 20 million. If you add the dividends from the theater chain, it will be even more beautiful.

Don't look at Mr. Han who spends hundreds of millions at every turn, but in recent years, only a handful of China Film Group's single project revenue can reach a profit of 20 million.

Especially since he was deceived by "The Promise" last year, Mr. Han felt particularly gratified when he saw the revenue of "Painted Skin".

What's even more gratifying is that "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" has been approved, and China Film Group has taken a 30% share.

"Painted Skin", which only invested less than 100 million, is expected to reach a box office of 300 million. If "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff" invested hundreds of millions, how popular would it be?

Of course Mr. Han himself understood that the calculation of accounts was not that simple. The box office performance of a movie could not be measured by the investment cost, but he still couldn't help but fantasize.

This is not just a matter of money, but also a matter of political achievements of Mr. Han and others.

The films China Film Group has participated in have become huge hits, playing an important role in the rise of the Chinese film market.

Dear mother, this can promote your career!

No matter how much money China Film makes, Han Sanye and others will not be able to share much of it. Rather than making money, they value the company's beautiful data after its revenue rises and its important influence on all parties in the industry.

Thinking of this, Mr. Han became more motivated and directly convened a cadre meeting to issue clear instructions.

China Film's various resources are tilted towards "Painted Skin", and he is thinking about making "Painted Skin" surpass "Titanic" at the box office.

The highest box office record for a Chinese movie is a Chinese-language movie!

As long as this is accomplished, China Film’s annual report this year will be beautiful enough...

…

Huayi Company

The Wang brothers and Feng Xiaogang were puffing away in the conference room. They were depressed that it would be harder for Xingxing to catch up, but they couldn't help but feel grateful.

Before that, they planned to have "The Night Banquet" enter the summer season. After much consideration, they chose to avoid the popular Cao Xuan and choose the relatively soft Cheng Long Nian.

In fact, the same is true for Yinghuang. On the one hand, they and Fanxing have participated in each other's film investments, so there is no need for their own family to fight against their own family.

In addition, Boss Yang and Cheng Long felt that they were more willing to have a chance with Feng Xiaogang than Cao Xuan.

"Xiaogang, do you think "The Night Banquet" can catch up with "Painted Skin" at the box office."

Feng Xiaogang is crazy, but when will he score?

At least for now, there are many stars on the left, and on the right, Xu Laoguai, Xiangjiang directors and Lao Mouzi are also performing well at the box office. Feng Xiaogang's box office performance is good, but he has not yet reached the point where he was the king of the Lunar New Year movies at the peak of the original time and space.

Even so far, his only movie "A World Without Thieves" has exceeded 100 million in box office, and he is not yet qualified for expansion.

After holding the cigarette holder and taking several puffs, Feng Xiaogang shook his head and struggled to spit out a word.

"Disaster!"

Feng Xiaogang has confidence in his work, but after all there is a limit. If it were 200 million, he would dare to give it a try, but now that "Painted Skin" is about to reach 300 million, he really doesn't have the confidence to speak out.

The second child of the Wang family's only hope of luck also disappeared, and he could only express comfort.

"After all, Zhou Xun is one of ours, and his surname is Cao. This time he is making wedding clothes for us."

The boss of the Wang family ignored such self-deception and only emphasized it.

"Zhou Xun should keep an eye on her. Now that "Painted Skin" is a big hit, she has become a hot commodity. If the contract is not officially signed in one day, we cannot take it lightly."

The second eldest son of the Wang family nodded carefully. In order to sign this little girl, Huayi had spent so much effort. He was just picking the fruit right before his eyes. If someone got there first, the Wang brothers would be vomited to death.

""Painted Skin" will probably have a celebration party, and Zhonglei will go with me then."

The second eldest son of the Wang family is a little reluctant. Unlike his brother who is relatively calm and low-key, his personality is still a little bit flamboyant and he likes to be the center of attention.

Usually people in the entertainment industry praise him, but as long as Cao Xuan is here, he becomes a transparent person. Even he and his brother have to go to Boss Cao to flatter him. This is a huge gap for him, so it is very difficult. Resistance to meeting Cao Xuan.

"Forget it, if you don't want to go I'll go by myself."

The eldest son of the Wang family didn't try to persuade him much. He just didn't go if he didn't want to go. If he showed any dissatisfaction, it would have the opposite effect.

"Let me know when the time comes, and I'll go and see the excitement."

Feng Xiaogang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interjected. The Wang brothers' eyes instantly became alert, and at the same time there was a hint of sadness in their hearts.

The two brothers took great precautions and protected Feng Xiaogang in every possible way, but Boss Cao, on the other hand, was neither salty nor cool towards Feng Xiaogang, even a little distant.

But Feng Xiaogang just looked at Fanxing and Boss Cao in a different light, showing a little yearning for Fanxing from time to time.

In this way, the Wang brothers have always felt like a backup dog, so they are even more wary of Fanxing, fearing that Boss Cao will get involved and their director will run away...

An apartment in Beijing

Seeing the report in the newspaper, Liu Tianxian sulked with a puffy face. Ma Liu glanced sideways. The report above was an exaggeration of Mimi.

Although Damimi is only a supporting character with a small role in "Painted Skin", she is technically the third female lead.

In addition to last year's "Xiu Chun Knife 2", she has appeared in two blockbuster movies. There are really not many new generation Xiaohua movies that can compare with her.

The reporter of this report was very optimistic about Damimi, and even regarded her and Liu Tianxian as representatives of the new generation of florets. He also said that the development of Liu Tianxian's movies was inferior to that of Damimi.

Liu Tianxian was a little unhappy.

Isn't it just a supporting role? The total length of the single scene is only two minutes, so how can it be compared with her? Her "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" this year ranked first in the ratings of Zhejiang Province.

But thinking about "Wulin Gaiden" starring Damimi, the ratings seemed to be higher than "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Liu Tianxian became even more depressed.

Mother Liu didn't take the little girl's tantrums seriously. In her opinion, Damimi was just lucky and was not on the same level as her daughter for the time being.

After seeing various interviews about "Painted Skin" in newspapers, she was actually thinking of another thing.

Liu Tianxian came of age in August 1987. According to U.S. law, he can choose his nationality again when he reaches the age of 18.

In a sense, Liu Tianxian now has another chance to change his nationality. If he does not change his nationality, he may not have the chance in another year or two.

Not long ago, Cao Xuan gave her a hint through Zeng Li, hoping that Liu Tianxian would choose Chinese nationality, which would be of great benefit to her career development.

But for Liu's mother, the United States holds a very important place in her heart.

She wanted her daughter to become a Hollywood star and did not want her to give up her American citizenship easily.

But Liu's mother also knew that if she insisted on American citizenship, her impression score with Cao Xuan would probably decline, which would also be detrimental to Liu Tianxian's domestic career development.

Zeng Li had already explained the situation to her at Cao Xuan's suggestion. It was extremely difficult for Chinese actors to break into Hollywood. Liu Tianxian's base was in the mainland. Without the mainland audience, he didn't have much advantage at all.

Acting?

Martial arts?

Or a well-behaved and pure temperament?

After all, no matter which entertainment industry you are in, you rely on connections and resources, even if you get into a Hollywood company, if you don't have enough capital, people will not praise you.

It’s been less than half a year since International Chapter entered Hollywood, and it’s impressive, but it hasn’t landed any new projects yet.

In contrast, Fanxing has strong domestic strength, extensive resources in Asia, and even Hollywood. It is not without connections. Backing Fanxing is actually safer than trying to curry favor with Hollywood companies.

Even if it's not good for him to enter Hollywood in the future, he will be supported by the stars when he comes back, and he can be resurrected at any time with full health.

Compared with the original time and space, Liu's mother is "trained" by Cao Xuan and Fanxing's management team on a daily basis, and her mind is much clearer. Even if she has the "American Dream" in her heart, she also weighs the pros and cons of Cao Xuan's suggestions for the sake of her daughter's future.

Now the success of "Painted Skin" has once again proved Fanxing's strength and brought about new changes in her psychological balance...
