Millennium director

Wu Yuan, who offended his wife, asked for trouble and ran away from home in despair. He went to seek advice from his friends and tried to find a way to give Liu Yifei a perfect second proposal.

And the Chinese entertainment industry will not stop just because Wu Yuan takes a break.

2017 is still a turbulent year for domestic entertainment.

The era of mass traffic has arrived. Traffic stars, led by the four returning children, are conquering the domestic entertainment market. The first batch of post-00s who have grown up have also plunged into the magical circle of "star chasing".

Compared with 20 years ago, fans in the entertainment industry are much more fanatical now.

Things like making data, collecting likes and comments, controlling comments, fighting against blackmail, increasing sales, and tearing down endorsements have become what the so-called "fan circle" must do. The entertainment industry has become strange and familiar to Wu Yuan. Entered a new era.

And this new era belongs not only to stars, but also to directors.

The older generation of directors such as King of Sunglasses, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen, and Feng Xiaogang have basically withdrawn from the stage of history, and most of their films are no longer popular or popular.

Instead, there is a new group of directors who focus on commercial films.

The Chinese film industry has officially entered the box office-only era, and the era of big IP has arrived!

Not long after the New Year, "Fast and Furious 8" was released simultaneously on both sides of the Pacific on April 14.

In the history of movies, the "Fast and Furious" series can be ranked as the craziest business case.

Although the director of the eighth film is not the director of the previous films, from the screenwriter to the director of photography, editor, and art director, all the production teams remain the same as before and have not changed.

Screenwriter Gary Scott Thompson participated in the creation of the entire "Fast and Furious" series of stories. The director of photography, art director, and editor have also been involved in the production since "Fast and Furious 3".

There are a total of 7 successful previous films, and "Fast and Furious 7" has achieved super brilliant results in China. The release of this new sequel has undoubtedly set off a wave of movie watching craze in China.

"The Great Wall" was quickly forgotten by mainland movie fans. Throughout the second half of April, the Internet was full of discussions about "Fast and Furious 8".

The movie's midnight box office alone on April 14, the first day it was released, took in 59.8 million yuan. The total box office of the movie on its first day of release exceeded 400 million yuan, accounting for an exaggerated 93% of the whole day's box office. Easily It has surpassed the daily box office record of Chinese-language films such as "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

On April 15, it continued to account for 70% of the total film schedule with 157,400 screenings, and the attendance rate was as high as 50%. The final box office was 490 million yuan. On April 16, the film had 71% of the screenings, but the attendance rate dropped to 41%. The harvest on that day 345 million, and the cumulative box office in the first three days of the first weekend reached 1.246 billion yuan.

This movie has been breaking various records since its pre-sale. The zero-point screening, first-day box office, and first weekend box office are all overturning the past data of the Chinese film market step by step.

The previous films in the "Fast and Furious" series did not achieve high box office success in China, but starting from the seventh film, it suddenly became the highest-grossing Hollywood movie. This phenomenon has made countless domestic movies No one in the industry can understand it.

As of 21:50 on April 30, 16 days after its release, the film had a cumulative box office of 2.5 billion yuan, equivalent to less than 400 million U.S. dollars. It also exceeded the box office performance of the seventh film in the mainland.

The only suspense is whether it can break through the 3.3 billion yuan box office of "Mermaid" and top the mainland box office.

However, the film's North American box office has just exceeded 200 million US dollars, which is only half of the box office in mainland China.

This is really crazy, and it also allows mainland film companies to see the influence of "IP".

It was also under the craziness of "Fast and Furious 7" and "Fast and Furious 8" that the mainland film industry began its own big IP era, starting with "Tomb Raiders" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and in the next few years, the small screen On the big screen, there are a lot of TV series, movies, and online movies based on these two novels that are constantly being released.

However, in the era of light and shadow, they are not very interested in adapting movies from novels like this.

Li Xiaoping is still busy creating the Xianxia movie universe in the light and shadow era, and everything is in line with Marvel Studios!

In 2017, in addition to "Cohabitation in Time and Space" and the confirmed new literary film of Zhang Yimou, the Light and Shadow Era will focus on creating a new work in the Xianxia movie universe - "Sword Fairy".

Yes, you can tell by the name of the movie that this work tells the story of "Lu Dongbin". It happened in the Tang Dynasty. The story about the rise of Lu Dongbin can be regarded as perfecting the story that shined in "The Battle of the Demon Tide" figure.

Hu Ge also served as the leading actor again and signed a 3-movie contract with Light and Shadow Times. In addition to this "Sword Immortal", he will also participate in 2 movies in the Xianxia universe, but he probably won't It’s no longer a single-person movie, but a big-event movie like “The Great Tide.”

Even the concept of "big events" is copied from Marvel.

There is no shame in learning from the barbarians and gaining skills to defeat them!

However, in the first half of 2017, when he was busy filming "Sword Fairy" in the Light and Shadow Era, Wu Yuan really disappeared from the public eye, and he did not announce any new film plans. He said he was taking a vacation and really did nothing.

That's not right, he did do one thing, that is, with the blessing of relatives and friends, he proposed to Liu Yifei again, and the proposal location was Diaoyutai, which was once reserved for Liu Yifei's coming-of-age ceremony.

Under the watchful eyes of relatives and friends, Wu Yuan knelt on one knee to put on the engagement diamond ring for Liu Yifei, and finally decided to spend his life together.

And on May 15, Wu Yuan's birthday, the two of them got their marriage certificate at the Beijing Civil Affairs Bureau in a low-key manner.

Although it was said to be low-key, the news of the two getting the marriage certificate was still spread on the same day. I don't know which insider, at the risk of being held accountable, actually made public the news of the two people's marriage registration, and even directly took a photo of the registration page of the internal system with a mobile phone.

Oh my god, this news was like a bomb, blowing up the entire entertainment industry.

Even Weibo was down because of this news that day, and the server crashed for half an hour before it was repaired.

Although most people, both inside and outside the circle, were mentally prepared for the two to get married, when it really happened and was made public on the Internet without warning, it still caused a sensation throughout China, and countless Liu Yifei fans were "broken-hearted" on the Internet.

But apart from sending tearful blessings on Weibo, it seems that they can't do anything else.

Just like the line in Stephen Chow's movie, they are a perfect match, and you, a monster, are the one to oppose it?

However, Wu Yuan was still very angry that the news was disclosed to the Internet after he had just obtained the marriage certificate!

Is there any law?
