Millennium director

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"Happy filming!"

With a shout from the floor manager, the entire crew of "Dear" shouted in unison: "Eggplant!"

A group photo with a bright smile was born.

After taking the group photo, Xu Wei stood up with a smile and took the initiative to applaud: "Thank you for your hard work, filming in winter is indeed not easy."

"We have prepared red envelopes for everyone."

Of course, the red envelope doesn't contain much money, it's just a pen and paper worth fifty yuan, just for good luck and happiness.

But Wu Yuan's behavior can make people feel a little more moved. At least the director is really thanking everyone.

"Thank you, director!"

"Thank you to the director!"

“It’s not hard at all to make such a good movie!”

Is "Honey" a good movie?

The benevolent sees benevolence, the wise see wisdom.

At least after Wu Yuan modified and integrated it himself, he was still very satisfied with the script.

The actors such as Huang Bo also contributed their most brilliant performances.

It may be difficult for this movie to reach the box office level of "囧", but Wu Yuan is still very satisfied with this movie.

He wanted to make a movie that would make the audience think deeply and feel something after watching it.

It's not the kind of popcorn movie where you just laugh after watching it and don't even have to think about it.

It’s not that popcorn movies are bad, the world needs popcorn movies, and Wu Yuan also likes to watch these kinds of movies.

But for him, popcorn movies are no longer difficult to shoot. Of course, he wants to make some more meaningful movies.

If you want to leave a mark in film history, you still have to look at it ten years later, fifty years later, or one hundred years later, and it will still be a classic film.

"Dear" is certainly not such a work, but at least it is Wu Yuan's attempt to go down this path.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

After thanking him one last time, Wu Yuan dismissed the crew on the spot.

Most of the crew still had to follow him back to the capital, while the other actors went their separate ways.

For example, Huang Bo will immediately go to the follow-up promotion of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

Huang Bo is the busiest actor this year.

After a lot of hard work, the promotion period for "The Lost Journey to Thailand" has just ended, and we have to continue the promotion of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

In fact, when Wu Yuan gave the crew the Spring Festival holiday, Huang Bo used this time to cooperate with the promotion work of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". He didn't take a day off.

I can't help it. I'm really embarrassed to ask for leave this time.

In fact, if it weren't for Wu Yuan's invitation, Huang Bo would not have been able to take the role during the December to February 2012 schedule.

He knows very well that he will be very busy as he has two movies to be released during this period.

It was only Wu Yuan's initiative to invite, and he also said that he didn't mind Huang Bo going to promote it, that Huang Bo gritted his teeth and accepted the film "Dear".

This has led to his average sleep time of only about 4 hours a day in the past three months, focusing on one thing.

And Wu Yuan had to admire that Huang Boneng could still maintain a high level of acting skills and perform a role that satisfied him under such a busy situation. This is not easy.

I can only say that he is worthy of being Huang Bo. An actor who worked his way up from the bottom knows how difficult the opportunity is, and he has to grit his teeth and do his best.

Wu Yuan waved to Huang Bo coolly and said goodbye to him before leaving the Yunnan-Guizhou region and returning to the capital.

And Huang Bo also embarked on the road show.

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has been released for 20 days.

From the New Year's Eve to January 20th of the lunar calendar, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has once again refreshed various data.

From the premiere day on New Year's Day, it earned 76.85 million yuan, and the box office exceeded 220 million yuan in three days, once again setting a new box office record for Chinese films.

In nine days, the box office exceeded 700 million, breaking 14 box office records. It surpassed "Transformers 3" to become the highest-grossing movie in a single day, surpassed "Titanic" to become the highest-grossing movie in a single day, and surpassed "Unfortunately" to become the highest-grossing movie in a single day. "囧" became the fastest Chinese film to surpass 700 million.

This movie brought sparks and lightning all the way, not only recasting the star's glory, but also creating a new box office miracle.

The box office title that had not yet been overshadowed by "囧囧" has also been broken.

Speaking of this, Wu Yuan also found it interesting.

On its original trajectory, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" should not have broken the record.

The final box office of "囧囧" was 1.267 billion, while "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" only took 1.246 billion.

In the end, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" still missed the box office performance of "Lost in Thailand" by 20 million, which also surprised people in the industry. A special effects blockbuster with a large investment did not beat a comedy movie with a small or medium investment.

At this point, the fire of mainland comedy movies was immediately ignited.

But in this world changed by Wu Yuan, the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" finally broke the record of "囧", taking in a box office of 1.321 billion.

I have to thank Wu Yuan for this.

It is precisely because Wu Yuan introduced the concept of IMAX 3D to the domestic film market earlier that domestic cinema chains began to focus on IMAX 3D theaters earlier and focused on ordinary cinemas.

Therefore, when "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was released this time, the number of IMAX 3D screenings sold was much higher than originally.

As we all know, the ticket price of IMAX 3D movies is much higher than that of the ordinary 3D version, and the viewing effect is also very different.

Although they all require wearing 3D glasses and all have 3D effects, they are indeed one day at a time.

On the original track, it should be "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" that truly made movie fans feel this gap.

When watching a movie in the IMAX 3D theater, the palm of Tathagata descends from the sky at the end. The shock is completely different from that in an ordinary 3D theater.

But in this world, because of Wu Yuan's "Gravity", many movie fans already know the difference between ordinary 3D and IMAX 3D.

Therefore, many movie fans who originally planned to watch only 3D or ordinary shows gritted their teeth and spent a lot of money to buy IMAX 3D shows.

And they also have reasons to convince themselves.

It’s the Chinese New Year after all!

Wouldn’t it be nice to take your family to watch a good, truly top-notch IMAX 3D movie?

My parents have never experienced this kind of movie in their lives!

Ever since, with almost no change in the number of moviegoers, due to the different movie ticket prices, the final box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" in this life was higher, surpassing "囧".

Wu Yuan only learned about this when he received statistics from his own theater chain.

The IMAX 3D theaters owned by Light and Film Times Cinemas were almost full during this Spring Festival!

And all the IMAX 3D theaters are showing the movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"!

Can this producer not make money? Can the box office be high?

However, as a cinema operator, I am very happy to see this scene. The construction of IMAX 3D theaters is very expensive, so it is definitely a good thing to be full!

It was only after seeing this situation that Wu Yuan confirmed that the domestic film market has matured and the era of IMAX 3D movies has officially arrived. He can indeed make an IMAX 3D commercial blockbuster!

Huaxia Film, your emperor is coming back! (End of chapter)
