Huayu’s ex-husband

Chapter 297 296. Liu Tianxian finally received an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala

"Good morning, director~"

Wei Wu nodded in response: "Good morning, no wonder when I came to the set, Qing'er saw a bunch of reporters outside in the early morning, so I guessed that you must be back."

Fan Bingbing pretended to be distressed and said: "In recent times, it is true that wherever I go, they follow me."

Wei Wu joked: "This can be regarded as the worry of happiness. This kind of treatment is not what you want! By the way, have you finished the interviews and so on now?"

Fan Bingbing was a little embarrassed: "Actually, it's not over yet, but I've done some things that I couldn't push back.

"As for the remaining ones, I plan to arrange them one by one after I finish work every day. Do you think this is okay?"

Wei Wu thought for a while and said: "It's okay, but you have to be careful not to affect your personal work status and the filming progress of the crew."

Wei Wu also knew that Fan Bingbing was always a pushy person, and Zhuang Xing did not accuse her unjustly. If you prevent her from accepting interviews, it would be more uncomfortable than killing her.

As the saying goes, if you are happy in life, you must have all the fun. Fan Bingbing has been a daughter-in-law for so many years, so she can be happy for a while!

Fan Bingbing quickly patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, director, I will balance everything well and it will not affect the filming of our drama."

Wei Wu couldn't help but glance at the rippling waves and nodded slightly:

"Well, you should pay attention to yourself!"

In the next few days, Fan Bingbing participated in daily shooting on the set during the day, and then during lunch break and after get off work in the evening, he had to take time to accept interviews from various media. He was extremely busy every day.

Originally, she had planned to take advantage of the filming period of "Walking to the West Exit" to continue working hard to achieve a breakthrough in her relationship with Wei Wu.

Unexpectedly, the plan could not keep up with the change. Less than a week after the filming started, I won the Golden Rooster Best Actress...

Now she is not in the ascending stage of her career, but in the soaring stage of her career.

As her reputation grows, all she can think about now is:

Internal entertainment sister.

Currently, her focus is entirely on her career, and she can't care about anything else for a while.

However, she did fulfill her promise to Wei Wu. Although she met with reporters every day, she did not slow down the filming schedule due to personal reasons. Instead, she became more passionate about her work.

Wei Wu was quite satisfied with this, which meant that Fan Bingbing was still relatively sober and not drifting.

You must know that the media is praising her to the sky now, and the only thing left is that the sky and the sun are side by side.

It can still hold up under such circumstances, I can only say that it is worthy of being OG.

After all, it has been popular for so many years. It is definitely not comparable to the 18 line that suddenly became popular. The character has been tempered and tempered for a long time.

It is no exaggeration to say that whether it is online media or offline media, Fan Bingbing's popularity can only be described as explosive, making headlines every day.

Even with the drama "Walking to the West Exit", the attention has been greatly increased!

After all, Fan Bingbing is being interviewed every day while filming the show, so reports will naturally mention the show in passing.

In fact, Wei Wu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that a Huabiao actress and a Golden Rooster actress could create such a strong sensation.

It can only be said that this moment is the same as the other moment. In the era of traffic, being a movie queen will not have such a strong publicity effect.

Now, no matter whether it is the Mainland's three major awards or the Golden Statue and Golden Horse, there is no sign of water for the time being. The gold content is well known, and the audience also recognizes this.

If it is a top player like Fan Bingbing, then the effect of the blessing of heavyweight awards is not just as simple as 1+1\u003e2.

Take Li Bingbing in her previous life as an example. Originally, she was always the last among the Four Danshuangbing. She was always ranked among the top two in terms of popularity and status.

However, the turning point in her entire career began in 2007. Specifically, it started when I got the Huabiao Film Queen in 2007.

On August 26, 2007, Li Bingbing became famous after being crowned Huabiao Best Actress with "The Ballad of Clouds and Waters".

Three months later, she won the Montblanc brand jewelry endorsement, becoming the first Chinese actress to receive a luxury brand endorsement, and her career began to enter a high-speed track.

Then the following year, he won the Baihua Film Queen with the film, and successively won endorsements from Mercedes-Benz and L'Oreal, gradually becoming unstoppable.

Then the next year, he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress with "The Wind", and naturally became the spokesperson for Toshiba and Adidas. He even tried to enter Hollywood and expand his influence overseas...

Therefore, getting the Huabiao Film Award was an important turning point in her career. From then on, she gradually took on the title of "Four Danshuangbing".

Since then, Xu Jinglei is the only member of the most powerful female group in domestic entertainment, "Four Dans Double Ice".

The reason Xu Jinglei wanted to take the director route was, to some extent, forced by the big ladies like them.

There is no way, the competitors at the same time are too strong, and the actor track is really unbeatable! So she had to find another way and travel during off-peak hours.

In her previous life, she could exclusively enjoy the dividends of this new track. After all, she was the only early A-list female star to become a director.

But the situation is different in this life, because Wei Wu is planning to arrange for Liu Tianxian to compete with her for the title of "the first female director in the Mainland".

If she were to imagine living as comfortably as she did in her previous life, it would probably be impossible.

This person really couldn't bear to talk about it, but as soon as Wei Wu thought about Liu Tianxian, he immediately received a call from Liu Tianxian:

"Wei Wu, I have good news to tell you, what do you think it is?"

At this moment, Wei Wu had just finished his work and didn't want to use his brain too much, so he guessed without thinking:

"The box office of "The Left Ear" in Taiwan and Hong Kong has exceeded 10 million?"

"The Left Ear" was just released a few days ago. The final box office in the mainland was 66.22 million, surpassing "The Disciple" with 65 million, temporarily ranking sixth in the year.

And because it has the same theme and stars Liu Tianxian, this movie successfully reaped the dividends of "Those Years".

Filming in Hong Kong and Taiwan started a week later than in the mainland, and both have been completed. The box office of "The Left Ear" in Hong Kong was HK$10.74 million, and that in Taiwan was NT$57 million (12.78 million yuan).

The mainland box office of the movie starring Liu Tianxian surpassed "The Disciple" starring Andy Lau. It is also a hot news worth mentioning. Many media reported the matter, which greatly increased Liu Tianxian's reputation.

The happiest thing is Liu Tianxian's fans, whose morale has soared and they feel proud.

After all, in the movie "The Left Ear", Liu Tianxian is really responsible for the box office alone. The director is a newcomer, and the other starring actors are also newcomers.

In the end, Liu Tianxian was the undisputed number one contributor to achieving such outstanding business results.

But then again, although the mainland box office of "The Left Ear" exceeds that of "The Disciple" by more than one million, the Hong Kong box office gap is still quite large.

The Hong Kong box office of "The Disciple" reached HK$26.53 million, which is not even a bit better than "The Left Ear".

"The Disciple" currently ranks first in Hong Kong Island's annual box office rankings, second only to Wei Wu's "Painted Skin" (25.46 million Hong Kong dollars)

Of course, "The Disciple" ranks first because there are still two movies that have not been released this year:

"A Letter of Investment" (HKD 27.49 million) and "Lust, Caution" (HKD 48.75 million).

To be precise, only "The Call to Action" has not been released yet, while "Lust, Caution" has been released for five days.

"That's not it. Guess again!"

Wei Wu thought for a moment and said, "Oh, I understand. There should be news from the Spring Festival Gala, right?"

Today is already November 5th. Usually around the end of October to the beginning of November, the Spring Festival Gala crew starts sending invitations to various stars.

This year’s New Year’s Eve is February 6 next year, which is almost three months away. In the meantime, we have to go through N rehearsals and screenings. The time is almost just right.

"Bingdog," Liu Tianxian said in a particularly excited tone:

“The Spring Festival Gala director team has officially sent me an invitation letter!”

Wei Wu was also very happy for her: "Congratulations! I told you that you would definitely be able to get in this year. Now you are at ease, right?"

"Yeah, I feel completely at ease! I didn't expect that one day I would attend the Spring Festival Gala! My dream has come true!"

Wei Wu smiled and said: "You deserve this. You have been so popular in the past two years! And you have transferred your nationality back. The leaders above will not miss it!"

"um. Thank you."

"Why are you so polite to me?"

Wei Wu continued to warn:

"Receiving the invitation is only the first step. Whether you can stay in the show in the end will require rounds of PK. You must not take it lightly!"

Although the show "Prayer" is okay, Liu Tianxian is not a professional dancer after all, so Wei Wu cannot guarantee that he will be able to stay in the show at the end.

The invitation letter is just a ticket. After receiving the invitation, everyone has to prepare their own program, and then go through rounds of PK and screen the final ones, so that they can successfully board the Spring Festival Gala stage.

"Well, I will prepare well and won't embarrass you!"

Wei Wu asked again: "How long will it take for you to film this movie now? Will you still have enough time to prepare?"

"I have about 20 days left to finalize it. There are still three months until the Spring Festival Gala, and the acceptance and PK will start in almost the last month, so I should have more than a month to prepare, so there should be no problem. "

Wei Wu thought for a while and said: "Anyway, you can take care of it yourself, don't lose the big for the small. You don't have any other work at hand now, right?"

"No. Except for the drama I'm filming, I've turned down all other projects!"

Wei Wu nodded slightly: "That's good."

After talking about this matter, Liu Tianxian suddenly changed the subject:

"Hey, "Lust, Caution" is so popular recently! Have you watched it?"

Of course Wei Wu had seen it, but it was on the Internet in his previous life, so he told the truth:

"No, I'm so busy filming every day now, how can I have time to watch movies?"

The movie "Lust, Caution" was released in the mainland four days ago (November 1), but the release time in the mainland was more than a month later than in Taiwan, which was released on September 24.

I don’t know what Li Yu thinks? I chose an unpopular schedule like November 1st.

Since it will be released in Taiwan on September 24th, it means that this movie can be released in the mainland during the National Day period.

However, it is also possible that the relevant departments felt that it was not appropriate for a pornographic film to be released on the National Day schedule, so they did not release it.

Then maybe Li Yu feels that the competition for the Lunar New Year stalls this year is too fierce! So we simply moved it a month ahead of time to the beginning of November.

It can only be said that Li Yu's cowardice is just right. If he had chosen to postpone it for a month and release it during the Lunar New Year, Wei Wu might have used "囧囧" to snipe him.

But he scheduled "Lust, Caution" to be released on November 1, and Wei Wu had nothing to do with him.

After all, the post-production of "Lost in Thailand" has not been completed yet, so there is really no way to follow!

Wei Wu has never been a generous person, and he has not forgotten the episode that Li An asked Liu Tianxian to act in this movie.

Although Li An may not have done it on purpose, this incident still made Wei Wu feel uncomfortable. If there is a chance, Wei Wu will definitely trip him up!

Including Wang Zhonglei who gave him a cold look, Wei Wu certainly did not forget it. It's not that he has not thought about using "Lost in Thailand" to snipe "The Forbidden Kingdom".

But the problem is that "The Forbidden Kingdom" is the same as Li An, and I don't know whether it lacks confidence in itself or is overconfident.

In short, "The Forbidden Kingdom" also chose a special unpopular schedule - April 24th.

This is in the middle of nowhere, so Wei Wu certainly can't follow it.

You know, the Golden Week will be cancelled for May Day next year, and it will only be released for three days.

It means that if this date is chosen to open the film, even the May Day schedule will be gone, which is even worse!

"The Forbidden Kingdom" is a bad movie to begin with. Even if Wei Wu didn't snipe it, its box office would drop very quickly and wither away quickly.

If Wei Wu chose an unpopular schedule to die with it, it would be a pure loss of 1,000.

"Lost in Thailand" can win the annual box office champion, why should it compete with it? That would be too much of a loss!

So Wei Wu was also helpless and could only choose to be "generous" and let it go.

Let's talk about "Lust, Caution". Due to the scale problem, this movie has not been promoted on a large scale in the mainland...

But relying on Li An's new Oscar-winning director's signboard and the gimmick of erotic films, this movie still became popular before it was released.

This movie is undoubtedly the most popular Chinese erotic film in history. As of yesterday, 4 days after its release, the box office in the first week has exceeded 40 million, which is eye-catching.

It can only be said that Li An, who just won the Oscar, is indeed attracting much attention. In his previous life, "Lust, Caution" not only won 124.8 million box office in the mainland, ranking sixth in the year, but also ranked first in Hong Kong Island.

Of course, this movie also ranked first in Taiwan Island, even more than 10 million yuan more than Hong Kong Island.

In the previous life, this movie won a total of 31.3 million US dollars in the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, which is about 237 million RMB.

In the previous life, this movie can be said to be the best-selling Chinese-language film of the year.

Who would have thought? The best-selling Chinese-language film of the year was actually an erotic film.

Of course, it is definitely not now! Because the best-selling Chinese-language film of this life is "Painted Skin", and the box office in the mainland alone is as high as 317 million yuan.

If the box office of Taiwan Island and Hong Kong Island is added, the total box office exceeds 380 million yuan, which is not a little more than "Lust, Caution".

However, as a new Oscar-winning director, Li An not only has a huge box office appeal in China, but also has a good influence overseas.

In the previous life, the overseas box office of "Lust, Caution" was as high as 35.79 million US dollars, which is much more than the total domestic box office.

Even so, the global box office of "Lust, Caution" is still lower than that of "Painted Skin".

Although the overseas box office of Painted Skin was only 20.49 million US dollars, the total domestic box office was 50.13 million US dollars, adding up to 70.62 million US dollars, exceeding the 67.09 million US dollars of Lust, Caution.

Many people may not think that the country with the highest overseas box office contribution of Lust, Caution is actually Korea, which contributed 10.52 million US dollars.

It is second only to the 17.11 million US dollars in the mainland, far higher than the 6.25 million US dollars in Hong Kong and 7.94 million US dollars in Taiwan.

Wei Wu originally thought that the first overseas box office of Lust, Caution would be Japan, but it turned out that Xiao Ri Zi only contributed 2.336 million US dollars in the box office, less than 1/4 of Korea.

You should know that Japan’s population is more than twice that of Korea!

From this, it can be seen that Koreans really like the movie Lust, Caution!

No wonder Tang Wei was able to make a good living in Korea later. It can be said that it was all thanks to this Lust, Caution, which laid a solid foundation for her in the early stage!

"Have you seen it?"

Liu Tianxian's tone was a little weak: "No... no!"

Wei Wu knew he must have seen it, after all, Li An had asked her, she had to see what the movie was like with her own eyes, right?

Wei Wu said with a sly smile: "That's perfect, when I'm done here, I'll go back and buy a disc, and we'll study together!"

"Bah! Shameless!"

Liu Tianxian hung up the phone immediately after cursing, probably because she was worried that she would make mistakes if she said too much!
