Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

After staying with Shanhe in the capital for a week, Hathaway took Shanhe back to her home in the Magic City.

When the future daughter-in-law comes to China, how can she not come to meet the future mother-in-law and father-in-law!

Returning to the Magic City with Hathaway, Shanhe is not the most popular one.

The new daughter-in-law is naturally very popular before she even gets married, and when it comes to holding grandchildren and great-grandchildren, she has to point to others.

The preferential treatment Hathaway received in the Magic City was comparable to that of Qiu Chuxi.

Especially Xie Meiyu, who looks forward enthusiastically to her future daughter-in-law, but nags her son non-stop.

The phenomenal success of "Gravity" can be said in two sentences.

"How much did the movie gross?"

"More than 600 million US dollars, almost 700 million US dollars!"

"It's almost 700 million U.S. dollars, that's really a lot!"

"How many more can there be?"

"I don't know. If I'm lucky, I can get another 700 million?"

"More than a billion dollars! That's a lot! Have you and Annie discussed how to prepare for your wedding? You have to pay attention to this matter. Don't just think about writing books and making movies every day. Business is more important! "

"ah?"

"Ah, what, do you know what business is? Carrying on the family line, getting married and having children are the first priority!"

"Isn't it all about starting a family and starting a business?"

"You have established enough businesses and our family is rich enough. We don't ask you to continue to be famous. All I want to do now is to have grandchildren!"

…

The world-shaking and famous director has returned home. He is also someone else's son, and he will have to suffer the disgust and criticism he deserves.

Writing books and making movies has become a side job for Xie Meiyu. No matter how good the movie is, or how much it makes at the box office, that's not the point.

What the family is eagerly waiting for is not the icing on the cake, but the joy of four generations living under one roof.

Shanhe could do nothing about his mother's talk. I shocked the whole world and was completely defeated by you!

All right! Your grandson is important, your grandson is awesome!

"Gravity" didn't become a major topic of conversation in the house.

However, the wedding preparations for the two have become the central issue of the family.

"Annie, how do you want to hold the wedding? Tell us. This is the only time in a woman's life. You can't just do it casually!"

The teacher's wife took Hathaway's hand and asked.

"Grandma, Qiu and I have agreed to hold one in my hometown, and then go to New Jersey to hold one, so that I can not only worship in a sedan chair, but also take oaths in the church!"

Xie Meiyu on the side quickly chatted,

"This is a good idea. Let's do it like this. Listen to Xiaohe, it's up to you to decide when you want to have children. Annie, this woman needs to give birth earlier. She is older and is not safe. She will also suffer, and there will be many sequelae. You have to give birth anyway, so the sooner you give birth, the better!”

"Mom, I haven't used contraception since we got engaged. I love children, but it's a pity that God hasn't let my baby come yet!"

"Oh! I just said it!"

Xie Meiyu jumped up in surprise and said overjoyed,

"Teacher's wife, these days I always dream about my eldest grandson hugging me and calling me grandma. His little face is red and he looks so smart. I have never seen such a painful child. He can't let go even if he hugs me. Hand! Could this be a dream given to me by God? Who knows, Annie is pregnant right now! "

"I dreamed about it too!"

Qiu Chuxi on the side couldn't sit still. Before anyone could reply, she opened her mouth and started shouting.

"But what I dreamed about was my little niece. She keeps asking me for dolls and toys. She is very beautiful. She looks like my sister-in-law, but with black hair!"

"There are people everywhere! I said it was my eldest grandson, but you have to go against me like crazy!"

Xie Meiyu was overjoyed and choked up at her daughter's words. Her eyes widened and she stepped forward to punish her daughter.

"You unlucky girl, if your grandma hears what you said, she will give you two big ears. I will clean up your bad mouth for her!"

Qiu Chuxi had rich experience in fighting with her mother. When she saw this, she hid behind her master.

"Grandma didn't even scold me, so she wouldn't do anything. I really dreamed about it. What's wrong with the girl? You are more patriarchal than my grandma!"

"Do I favor boys over girls? Okay, let me clean you up first and let you know what it means to be over girls!"

The two mother and daughter were circling around the master's wife.

Hathaway particularly liked the relaxed atmosphere at home, laughing and watching the two mother and daughter fight.

Master Xie smiled and pulled Xie Meiyu and said,

"Okay! Meiyu, Xixi is right. There are both men and women. This is a good sign. Didn't Annie also say that she must have at least two children?"

"Master's wife is right. I must have a boy and a girl. It's best for my brother to take his sister, just like Michael takes me and Qiu takes Xi!"

Hathaway nodded affirmatively and replied.

Hathaway's words made Xie Meiyu let Qiu Chuxi go. She turned around and took Hathaway's hand and said happily,

"Annie, don't worry. After the child is born, you two don't have to worry. I know you love to be an actor. We are not old feudal people. You are still young and can pursue your dreams. Grandma Shanhe, my wife, and I promise to take good care of the child. It’s good!”

"Your mother-in-law is right!"

The teacher’s wife also smiled at Hathaway,

"The wedding date is set for June. If I really get pregnant, what will happen to the wedding?"

Hathaway didn't take it seriously;

"Then postpone it for a year! I can't wear a wedding dress with a big belly. How romantic it would be to get married with a child!"

Xie Meiyule’s eyebrows came together.

"This kid! We Chinese people don't like this! It's not decent!"

"What's the point?" Qiu Chuxi began to speak again, "It feels so good to hold a child in your wedding photos. The brilliance of motherhood will make your sister-in-law more beautiful!"

"You're a little girl who knows nothing about movies!"

…

Shanhe, his father and senior master Yu Zhengchong were making tea and chatting in the living room.

Listening to the laughter of the women at home upstairs, Shanhe felt very relaxed and comfortable.

"My mother, what are they talking about? It's so lively?"

"What else can I say!"

Qiu Jiang refilled the teacher's tea and answered his son,

"Your mother has been crazy about wanting to hold a grandson recently. She has been having many fantasies, and she even laughs out of her dreams. She only thinks about holding a grandson every day. I am scared by his talk. Now that the rightful owner is here, I can't pay for it." Take action!"

Yu Zhengchong raised the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and answered with a smile,

"Xiaohe, I don't blame your mother for nagging me. Your grandmother and I are also thinking about this matter. The children at home have grown up and flown away. Without children in the family, we always feel that something is missing!"

Shanhe nodded. After Qiu Chuxi went to college, the family lost a living baby, and it seemed a lot more deserted. Couldn't the elders set their sights on Shanhe and Hathaway!

"I understand, Master!"

There is no need to say much in the communication between men, just click on it.

Yu Zhengchong looked at his disciple and turned the topic to "Gravity".

"Your movie has aroused the enthusiasm of the whole country. Seventy million US dollars is really a fantastic figure. Your father and I have been staring at the data on the Internet these days, and we still can't believe it!"

Qiu Jiang was also filled with emotion.

"Xiaohe, I really believe the rumors from my hometown now. You were enlightened by your ancestors back then, and all you did was not human affairs!"

Yu Zhengchong glanced at Qiu Jiang and became more protective of the calf.

"I'm talking about Qiu Jiang, can you be a little bit like a father! What nonsense is this? It's not your son's business to do anything!"

Qiu Jiang didn't care about the teacher's words and joked with a smile,

"A Chinese-language movie has a box office of 700 million US dollars in eight days. This is really something that no one can do! People on the Internet are talking about whether "Gravity" can break the box office record of "Titanic", Xiaohe, there is hope No?"

Shanhe looked at his father with a smile, shook his head and replied,

"No, it will definitely not reach 1.8 billion US dollars. There is no comparison between "Gravity" and "Titanic". The plot and scenes are too thin. The current box office is a bit inflated. It takes up the light of 3DIMAX technology and robs it." Cameron’s record-breaking jackpot has to be watched by “Avatar”!”

"Can "Avatar" reach 1.8 billion U.S. dollars?"

"It should be more than two billion!"

"This Cameron is not even human!"

…

Shan He and Hathaway stayed comfortably at home for a week.

Shanhe no longer paid too much attention to the box office accumulation of "Gravity", and the outside media carnival did not pay too much attention either.

Enjoying family time with my family, I shared all the manuscripts of "The Life of Yi" with my family in my spare time.

As a result, the topic of "Gravity" completely lost attention in the Qiu family. Everyone was obsessed with or arguing about the fantasy and cruel experiences of young Yi.

When it comes to storytelling, "Gravity" is much worse than "The Life of Yi".

"The Life of Yi" can satisfy the needs of almost all reading audiences.

Those who like fairy tales can see a wonderful world in them.

Those who love serious literature can experience the heaviness of life and the struggle of human nature.

There are descriptions of exotic customs in the novel, as well as the warmth of getting along with animals. Together with various religious thoughts, they shuttle back and forth in the book, weaving a fascinating web.

When the young boy Yi and the tiger were drifting in the sea, this net tightly wrapped one person and the tiger.

Gradually, this web became a survival rope woven by the young Yi and Tiger, leading them out of Fantasy Drifting and away from the struggle of life, death and human nature.

Finally, when the tiger disappears into the jungle, this survival rope turns back into a web of morality and humanity. Without the web, there is no difference between humans and tigers.

This unfinished novel has become the hottest topic in the Qiu family.

"Brother, I like Young Man Yi. Can you not make the ending so horrific? Wouldn't it be a simple fantasy drifting?"

"What I write is not a fairy tale. If you want to read fairy tales, look for a fairy tale book!"

"Xiaohe, are you a little too sensitive by including all kinds of religions in your book? Westerners care very much about religion?"

"Master, I am not belittling any kind of doctrine. On the contrary, I am praising religion's control and encouragement of human nature. The choice is just for survival. The unity of nature and man is relatively mild and tolerant, and is suitable for most people's thinking. , it shouldn’t cause any disputes.”

"When will you finish the book? It's so uncomfortable to read it section by section. Xiaohe, this book is much better than "Dallas Buyers". Maybe I can help you win an award."

"Dad, I guess it won't be so soon. This book still needs careful revision and polishing."

"Qiu, will your next movie be "The Life of Yi"? This story is much more exciting than "Gravity"!"

"It shouldn't be so soon. "The Life of Yi" will require a long preparation period!"

…

Shanhe enjoys the warmth of family in the magical city, and the storm of "Gravity" is still raging around the world.

In the second weekend in China, the box office did not drop at all, from 70 million in a single day on weekdays to the extreme value of 80 million.

74 million on Friday, 83 million on Saturday and 82 million on Sunday.

It grossed NT$240 million over the three-day weekend, and it has a cumulative box office of NT$860 million after two weeks of release!

This kind of data seems to allow Shanhe to see the Chinese film market ten years from now.

China really does not lack movie fans and markets, but what it lacks is the industrial chain and technical talents.

North America is no better than China. No matter how good "Gravity" is, it will never be able to dominate the entire film market like it does in China.

This weekend, "District 9" starring Heath Ledger opens in theaters.

Under the strong pressure of "Gravity", "District 9" still collected US$38 million at the box office in its first week, ranking second.

It pushed "2012" far into the third place.

The top spot is naturally "Gravity", with $28 million on Friday, $323 million on Saturday, and $30 million on Sunday.

In the three days of the following weekend, "Gravity" firmly ranked first in the box office rankings with US$91 million.

The box office dropped only about 10%, and the excellent reputation from the audience and the media maintained the film's explosive power.

In two weeks, it accumulated a box office of US$285 million in North America.

In contrast, Europe's second weekend box office dropped significantly. After experiencing the baptism of 3D technology, the movie-watching craze in European countries has gradually entered a rational state.

In the three days of the following weekend, all of Europe contributed more than 72 million US dollars in box office data to "Gravity".

The drop exceeded 30%, but this result is still impressive.

Neon, Bang Country, Southeast Asia, and South American countries are still hot and stable.

In the three days of the following weekend, "Gravity" still earned a global box office of US$240 million.

The global box office total accumulated to US$936 million in two weeks.

The whole world is stunned at this unprecedented box office data.

This is really magic. There are no fans of the original work, no sequel bonus, and not even emotional gimmicks.

With just two actors and a single space scene, Hua Xiaqiu performed a dreamlike magic in front of the global public with his bare hands.

This is dozens of times more amazing than David Copperfield's disappearing magic!

This astonishing data is far behind even the original "Titanic".

The abnormal explosion of "Gravity" set off a big discussion in the Hollywood media.

What will be the future direction of the film market?

Will the abnormal explosion of "Gravity" become the normal box office for major productions in the future?

How much has 3D technology changed Hollywood?

…

Most media have given their own predictions: 3D technology will bring incredible box office explosive power to movies. The development of the Internet has also made publicity and information more widespread, and the cycle of movie box office accumulation will be greatly shortened.

Similar to the situation at the end of the last century and the beginning of the new century, "Titanic"'s long-term release and continuous decline in box office will no longer occur.

"Gravity" is a wonderful space movie, but its Achilles' heel is that it has too few characters and a single setting.

"Gravity" has an amazing explosive power due to its groundbreaking 3D technology and Huaxia Qiu's appeal, but it cannot violate objective laws.

"Gravity" will see a sharp box office decline. 3D technology and Hua Xia Qiu cannot continue to take all the hits!

"Gravity" can't shake the box office record of "Titanic"!

It has to be said that the judgment of these Hollywood veterans is very accurate.

On December 1st, the third week of release of "Gravity" began. The box office of movies on the first working day in Europe and the United States on Monday dropped sharply compared to last week.

Domestic is no exception!

The box office on Monday was 43 million,

Tuesday, 41 million,

On Wednesday, it fell below 40 million yuan and 37 million yuan, but it is about to exceed one billion yuan. The whole country is waiting for this moment to come.

Thursday, 38 million.

China's first billion-dollar movie was born.

A single chip breaks one billion!

This is a milestone breakthrough in the Chinese film market, which marks that the Chinese film industry has entered a new stage.

On the same day, Dazhong Daily published an editorial on its front page, "Breakthroughs in the film and television cultural industry represent a new stage of institutional reform with Chinese characteristics."

The article briefly introduces the production, distribution and box office of "Gravity", gives full affirmation and praise, and points out that it represents great significance. The pace of global integration is getting closer and closer, and global cooperation can It is the general trend of all industries. Reforms with Chinese characteristics have passed the threshold of introduction. What needs to be faced is to go global. "Gravity" is an example!

Major newspapers and magazines across the country, including provincial and municipal newspapers, have made headlines and made headlines.

The number "one billion" has caught the attention of the entire Chinese public.

On this day, "Gravity" became the only hot topic in China, and all information about the movie became a hot topic in online and offline media reports.

Even the members of the preparatory team of Chuhe Film and Television were pushed to the forefront.

Bai Yuxia, the photographer who made a key contribution to "Gravity", suddenly became famous on the Internet.

That night's 7 o'clock "Xinwen Lianbo" also reported on this social hot spot as expected.

"Gravity" has a domestic box office of over 1 billion, which is given even more significance!

This was completely beyond the expectations of the Chinese film and television industry and Shanhe.

"Gravity" came at just the right time, perfectly fitting the country's development strategy.

How to go out, how to go out and shock the world, "Gravity" is a perfect example for various industries in China!

…

Putting aside the social topic of breaking one billion, "Gravity" accumulated a box office of 160 million in four days, a drop of more than 70% from last week.

This made everyone in the domestic film and television industry finally breathe a sigh of relief. After two crazy weeks, the film market has finally returned to reason. If it continues like it did in the past few days, everyone will go crazy!

One hundred and sixty million in four days is still a ceiling figure for other movies, but at least you can see the taillights!
