Entertainment Empire

The box office in the first week was gratifying. If you want to keep up the good work in the second week, you have to step up your promotion a little bit. So Luo Xun was dragged by Zhou Xingchi to attend the event after just a few days. It seems that Zhou Xingchi has gradually figured out Luo Xun. Once a movie is released, it quickly deflates like a deflated balloon.

on promotional activities.

The reporter asked a question that everyone is very curious about: "Director Zhou, will there be a second part of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"? Because there is still a lot of material in the story of Journey to the West, and the public is also full of interest in this subject."

"meeting."

Zhou Xingchi thought for a while and said.

The event site immediately became excited and excited. A pair of fiery eyes stared at Zhou Xingchi. The anticipation in his eyes could hardly be hidden. The reporter also perked up and felt that he had discovered big news. He suppressed his racing heart and said, "Still. The original cast of the first film?”

"Keep your word."

Zhou Xingchi glanced at Luo Xun and said with a smile: "I said that "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is the last time I will star in my own movie, so it is impossible for the original cast to film the second one. If I am not here, Luo Xun If he continues to play the role of a monk, he will probably feel lonely, so he will not appear in it. In fact, I am considering letting Xu Ke shoot the second part and I will be the producer. The two of us had a phone call to discuss this topic. "

Luo Xun: "..."

I haven't said anything yet.

The so-called second part should refer to "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". I am really not suitable to star in it. Firstly, the story of this movie is almost in continuity with the previous one. Secondly, the second part of the first part is Monkey King. It is destined to be played by someone else, so Xuanzang from the first part might as well stay in the story of the first part forever to accompany that lonely monkey.

The scene was a little disappointing.

Zhou Xingchi and Luo Xun are the important reasons why many people are interested in this Journey to the West series. The two people's tit-for-tat confrontation in the movie has made many movie fans talk about it, especially the battle, which made the movie fans fascinated and excited. If If someone else had acted in it, it wouldn't have the same flavor. But after all, it's still Zhou Xingchi's movie, and Zhou Xingchi also said that he would invite Mr. Xu to work on the second one. The special effects will definitely be more exciting, so while he is disappointed, many people are also disappointed. Do you mind going to the cinema to see it then? Maybe there will be a surprise?

After the event.

Zhou Xingchi’s relevant revelations were widely reported by the media and spread quickly throughout the entire Internet, triggering a lot of discussions. The general view is that the popularity and topical effect of the second part are difficult to compare with the first one, but it is still Will see——

After all, Zhou Xingchi is.

There is also an additional monster named Xu.

Zhou Xingchi himself asked Luo Xun about his next plan at the end of the event. Luo Xun smiled and said: "I don't have a clear plan. Anyway, I don't have a suitable project on hand at the moment. I happen to be busy with my first movie, so I don't have a clear plan." Don’t worry, if you have a suitable project you can recommend it to me.”

"Do you still need my recommendation?"

Zhou Xingchi smiled and said, as said on the Internet, the person who benefited the most from "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is actually Luo Xun. Zhou Xingchi is a person who stands at the top of the Chinese film industry. The success or failure of this movie will not matter. Influenced by the fact that he himself is a legend.

Luo Xun is different.

As his career is on the rise, his recent films have received very high attention, and he has gained huge rewards every time he succeeds. Under such circumstances, there are many good projects that take the initiative to approach Luo Xun, instead of having to ask Zhou Xingchi to speak up as before. Help Luo Xun fight for something.

"I trust your vision."

"It's up to you to decide. The current situation is that every step you take is crucial. I won't affect your own thinking. Anyway, you have always been a person who has plans for your future."

"OK."

Luo Xun nodded.

Zhou Xingchi, like Hu Jun and his teachers, are seniors that Luo Xun respects very much. He cannot succeed without the help of this group of people, so he always remembers this friendship in his heart.

…

The next few days.

The box office performance is good, and it is estimated that the second week will also be a good harvest. Faced with this booming situation, Luo Xun has to seriously think about his next plan. As Zhou Xingchi said, he is a person who has plans for the future. , because he needs a direction to work towards.

The general direction is there.

The small direction has to be determined now.

With this in mind, Luo Xun began to ask Xiao Tao, who had gradually taken over as Kong Shuang's agent, to pay attention to any suitable new projects in the industry recently. If there was no suitable film for him within three months, Luo Xun would have to find his own way out. Fortunately, he now With your own company and connections, it is not difficult to make a living on your own.

It's 2010 now.

I guess "The Grandmaster" will be released in two or three years. In fact, Luo Xun is quite interested in this movie. After all, he has made many types of movies but never a literary film. Unfortunately, he also knows his own The weight is definitely not as important as Mr. Tony Leung Chiu Wai in Director Wang's heart, so he can only think about it this way. After all, not all scenes can be chosen by him——

Except this one.

There are probably no other movies worthy of his special attention. Of course there are many good movies, but not every one of them can be acted by Luo Xun, or there may be fish that slip through the net, but Luo Xun couldn't think of it at the moment, so he let Xiao Tao Pay attention to the trends in the industry, and sometimes your memory is not enough.

Luo Xun thought so.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, the second week of the release of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" ended. The box office of this week was almost the same as the first week, 800 million!

The first week was 900 million.

The second week was 800 million.

The 1.7 billion in two weeks clearly meant that the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was going to reach more than 2 billion. For a time, the industry was shocked, and the shock from the bottom of their hearts was even more exaggerated than the data from the first week!

"Are you crazy..."

"Is the second week so strong?"

"Even if the third week is cut in half, it's still a lot of money. In the past, domestic films were struggling with single-digit box office. This time, it's increased too much. Whoever wants to break the record in the future has to think twice. Even Luo Xun, who is known as a record-breaking maniac, is probably powerless."

"Maoyan predicts 2.3 billion."

"The bottom line is 2 billion for sure. The second week is so strong. Obviously, the people who were waiting and watching also bought tickets to the cinema. This shows that the reputation of the first week is fermenting. Although similar situations are rare, they have happened before."

"..."

The industry is discussing it.

Luo Xun is thinking that in this way, the total box office of the movie he plays the lead role in seems to have exceeded 2 billion and is heading towards 3 billion!
