Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

On July 8, after more than a month of endless promotion, "Bring Her Eyes" held its world premiere at Jiahe Cinemas in Beijing.

Most of the Chinese film industry gathered together, and the grand premiere was a good sign for the movie.

"Bring Her Eyes" lived up to the expectations of Chinese filmmakers and audiences. Ning Hao's team spent nearly two and a half hours shocking and moving the guest reporters and lucky viewers present.

The box office for zero-hour screenings was 13.2 million yuan, breaking the domestic box office record of 11.7 million yuan for "Gravity" that had been held for four years.

It has an excellent reputation. Nearly 100,000 netizens rated it on Douban that night, with a rating of over nine.

Tens of thousands of comments and messages filled the message board of "Bring Her Eyes" densely packed.

"Chuhe Film and Television once again leads Chinese cinema. I am shocked, moved, and proud of Chinese filmmakers!"

"The movie is very beautiful. It's not just the special effects scenes that are grand and gorgeous. The key is that the whole movie touches people's hearts. Shen Jing played by Zeng Li is so brilliant. The beauty of the soul is always more shocking than the skin!"

"Although I know the whole plot and the final ending, I still can't hold back my tears. This is an atypical science fiction blockbuster. Ning Hao made the movie very beautiful, like a prose poem!"

"Sunset 6 is so sci-fi and so cool. While the whole world is filming space, we are filming the center of the earth. The subject matter is very attractive. The global box office of the movie will definitely not be low!"

…

After only one night, everyone confirmed a result:

Domestic 3D science fiction production has started!

In the three days of its first weekend, the film schedule ratio of "Bring Her Eyes" in major theaters across the country was over 60%. In just three days, the domestic box office exceeded the 500 million mark.

It broke all first-week box office records that could be broken.

The overseas box office is also very gratifying. Shanhe's nominal appeal has played a certain role. Under the squeeze of "Pacific Rim" and "The Wolverine 2", "Bring Her Eyes" ranked third in the North American box office in its first weekend.

The opening weekend box office of 34 million US dollars greatly exceeded the expectations of Disney and Chuhe Film and Television.

The film's reputation in North America is somewhat polarized, with those who like it praising it and those who don't like it scoffing.

This is normal. "Bring Her Eyes" is an authentic Chinese film that cannot be more authentic. The plot rhythm and cultural philosophy are pure Eastern logic.

Naturally, it does not suit the taste of some Western audiences!

The situation in European countries is roughly the same as that in North America. The cultural gap between the East and the West is even more obvious. However, the box office is higher than that in North America, with US$38 million in the first opening!

The reason lies in the ratio of film schedules. For European theaters, "Bring Her Eyes" is not much different from "Pacific Rim" and "The Wolverine 2". They are all foreign films.

Coupled with the popularity of You Shanhe, "Bring Her Eyes" was not suppressed too much in the film schedule.

In various Asian countries, "Bring Her Eyes" regained the upper hand and topped the box office charts for the week, suppressing the Hollywood blockbusters "Pacific Rim" and "The Wolverine 2".

Even Neon and Bangguo are no exception!

The audience's reputation is very good, and the box office revenue in various Asian countries that week exceeded 35 million US dollars.

"Bring Her Eyes" grossed more than $200 million at the global box office in its first weekend.

It greatly exceeded Chuhe Film and Television's internal expectations, and the entire Chuhe Film and Television was in jubilation.

Douban was the first to announce the news and gave a professional prediction:

"Bring Her Eyes" has a domestic box office of over 2 billion yuan and a global box office of over 600 million US dollars.

As soon as the news came out, the domestic media went crazy, and Ning Hao was put on the altar. After Shan He, another Chinese commercial director with global influence was born!

Chinese-language films were once again filled with accelerants, and the film market fell into a frenzy.

At the same time, Ning Hao, who was extremely excited, set up a table at home to celebrate the victory with several old friends from Chuhe Film and Television.

As soon as the banquet started, Ning Hao raised his glass and expressed his thanks.

"I would like to toast everyone first. I have been working on "Bring Her Eyes" for more than three years. To be honest, I have thought about giving up several times. Forget it, it would be great to make some road comedy movies. It will make a lot of money. Easy and less stressful!

Being able to persevere in the end is not due to me alone. In addition to the crew and crew, everyone here has given us tremendous support. I respect you for doing it first! "

Shanhe watched Ning Hao raise his head and drink up the wine in the cup, then smiled and said:

"Old Ning, if you are so pretentious, one cup is not enough. At least one cup per person is enough for everyone sitting here. You need three cups when you come to my place. Tell me how much publicity you have helped me do for you!"

"That's right, a glass of wine is not what you want!"

"Haha... Shanhe is right, Ning Hao, you have to come first!"

"You two are allowed to come together!"

"hehe…"

…

"Don't! It's not like you don't know how drunk Aina and I are. We are not Baoqiang and Ma Li. If you do this, I will be down in ten minutes! Can I drink three drinks?"

"Drink first and then talk!"

"It's okay to take your time, you have to drink what you have to drink!"

…

After a few rounds of mutual laughter and excitement, everyone started chatting around "Bring Her Eyes".

…

"Old Ning, where's your big gold chain? Without it, half of your charm is gone!"

"Ha ha…"

"I locked it in the safe. I won't need it anymore!"

Ning Hao replied with a blushing face,

"I used to want to put some pressure on myself, but in the past two years, the pressure has almost crushed us as a couple. The gold chain is too light and has no meaning!"

"Old Ning is right!"

Xing Aina also sighed and said,

"With a production investment of 400 million yuan, Lao Ning's movies in the past could not reach this much at the box office. This movie represents too many things. If the movie fails, we don't know how to explain it to everyone!"

"You are thinking too much! I have already said that "Bring Her Eyes" will not be a loss!"

Zhong Lifeng is a strong woman with full style,

"Lao Ning's level is there. The domestic box office appeal is sufficient. Today's domestic market alone can support the production cost of the film. In Asian countries, Chuhe Film and Television's distribution capabilities are not much worse than those of Hollywood movies. Even if there is no European and American box office, "Bring Her Eyes" can also easily maintain its capital!"

Yang Liu swallowed the food in his mouth and smiled and said:

"You are too underestimated the distribution capabilities of Chuhe Film and Television. I am not bragging. Within Asia, we are ranked second and no one dares to be ranked first. How about it, Lao Ning, "Bring Her Eyes" has been successfully released. Okay, do you have any ideas for your next work?”

"Don't compare mountains and rivers to me, that's unfair to me!"

Ning Hao shook his head after hearing this.

"Most people wouldn't dare to think of his easy-to-find talent. Besides, I don't have the same ability to withstand pressure as he does. It takes at least half a year of rest to get back into shape!"

"Half a year is enough for Shanhe to finish filming his "Room"!"

"Ah? Shanhe, you have already started preparations for a new film?"

"Well, we are already training young actors, and filming is expected to start next month. The scenes and characters in "Room" are very simple, and it is expected to be completed within the year!"

"Are you still a human? You won't be tired. "Young Yi" hasn't been released yet! It's so abnormal!"

"screw you!"

Xu Ke took a sip of white wine and said with a sigh:

"I really envy you! I'm still young and can try out any type of film. Once I'm old and don't have the energy to experiment and study anymore, the subject matter is fixed on fantasy martial arts!"

"Brother Xu, when you say this, I have to dig a hole and bury myself in the soil!"

Wu Ershan shook his head and laughed at himself,

"Since "The Sword Sees Laughter", I have been stuck in the fantasy martial arts pit and have never come out. I guess it will be difficult to climb out in the future!"

"Isn't there another fairy tale theme? Wu Ershan, "Feng Shen" can start to be brewed. Colorful Light is preparing to release "Nezha 1" during the Spring Festival of 2015!"

After Shanhe responded to Wuershan with a smile, he clinked his wine glasses with Xu Ke again.

"Brother Xu, how about I recommend an online novel to you?"

"you say!"

""Shu Mountain" is your biggest regret, right? How about using "Zhu Xian" to regain your place?"

"'Zhu Xian'? This name sounds familiar. I seem to have heard of it somewhere!"

Yang Liu reminded,

"Silkworm Chrysalis has been talking about this novel in the company all day long. He always wants to make this book into a web series!"

"I'll go find Zhiyong tomorrow and ask!"

…

A private banquet at Chuhe Film and Television has spawned a project. The theme of Xianxia is traditional Chinese science fiction. "Zhu Xian" will be a good breakthrough point.

Shanhe believes that Chuhe Film and Television will not waste this popular IP like iQiyi did in the previous life!

Throughout July, "Bring Her Eyes" dominated the domestic box office market. In three weeks, the film's Chinese box office exceeded 1.6 billion yuan.

Zhou Xingchi's "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" was ranked second in the domestic box office rankings, but was pushed down to third place before it even got hot.

The box office in North America barely exceeded US$70 million in three weeks, while European countries were slightly stronger, with a total of US$80 million!

Europe and the United States have earned a total of 150 million U.S. dollars, which is quite good. Chuhe Film and Television's first step in exporting to Europe and the United States has been quite successful.

But this should be the final box office of the two places. The cultural differences between the East and the West are inevitable, the market needs to be cultivated, and Western audiences need time to adapt to the rhythm of China and the rise of China!

The situation in Asian countries is completely different. "Bring Her Eyes" has an excellent reputation in neon, Bang, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia!

Countless Asian viewers were shocked by "Sunset Six" and shed tears for the pilot's quiet humanity!

Neon Media even commented on "Bring Her Eyes" as "Every Neon young person should watch this movie":

"It's too easy to get things in this world. We can always get too many things from around us. The young generation of Neon should know how to cherish it, just like the silence in the movie. Only by cherishing it can we appreciate the beauty of the world and be grateful for this beauty. Take your responsibility!”

The Chinese media used the term "the most beautiful oriental goddess" to describe the character Shen Jing and the actress who plays her, Zeng Li:

"Beauty is not about posing on the stage, nor is it about showing off sexiness by relying on long legs. Beauty is an expression of the heart, a natural manifestation from the inside out. Should the Republic of China reflect on our aesthetic standards..."

In Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, Shen Jing played by Zeng Li conquered all Chinese people. Zeng Li was even evaluated as "the perfect standard of oriental beauty"!

Asian countries contributed more than US$100 million in box office revenue to "Bring Her Eyes" in three weeks.

To sum up, the cumulative global box office of "Bring Her Eyes" in three weeks exceeded US$500 million!

It has made a strong entry into this year's global movie box office rankings, ranking fifth after "The Croods"!

The entire Chinese film industry was shocked and speechless by this news, and almost all media were reporting this shocking news.

Ning Hao became famous all over the world and became the most awesome figure in the Chinese film industry!

What made Shanhe dumbfounded was that everyone seemed to have excluded him from the comparison.

"Don't compare Shanhe to others. What he did is not normal!"

"That's right, this kind of cheating pervert is rare even in online articles!"

"Nuclear weapons like Shanhe are used to deal with foreigners. We can just provide them at home. It would be too wasteful to use them. We need more conventional weapons like Ning Hao!"

"It makes perfect sense. Mountains and rivers must be treated separately!"

…

Okay, you can arrange whatever you want!

Shanhe and Hathaway had almost completed the preliminary preparations for "Room" in July.

The storyboard script and shooting plan have been basically finalized, and there was no difficulty in setting up the studio for "Room".

An underground space of more than ten square meters is a matter of ten days for Chuhe Film and Television.

The exterior scenes and other actors Bruckheimer have also been properly arranged.

Hathaway did most of the training for young actor Jacob Tremblay.

This child does have extraordinary acting acumen. Although he cannot fully understand the situation of Tate's character, he can always find similar situations to bring him into.

Hathaway often marveled at Shan He. This child was the most talented acting genius she had ever seen, even Tang Xiaoyu couldn't compare!

In a month, Jacob Tremblay has become basically familiar with the role of Tate, and the cooperation and tacit understanding between the two have increased day by day.

When they get along with each other, they always use their roles. "Mom" and "Tate" have become the two people's names for each other.

Of course, not everything went smoothly during the training. The biggest troublemaker was the little bear Qiu Yanche. At two and a half weeks old, the little kid already had all the troublemaking abilities and was so energetic that it gave people a headache.

In addition to sleeping and eating, he is looking for things to do all day long. The chickens and ducks in the yard are tormented by him. They hide everywhere when they see him. If it weren't for Doudou and a few old people, the little kid would have been there. Being retaliated by a group of chickens and ducks, my head was covered with bruises!

Shanhe was often helplessly pestered by his son. This boy was not afraid of his father at all. Even if Shanhe became stern, he still didn't care!

The little bear who is looking for trouble will naturally not let little Jacob go. Every time he hears Jacob calling Hathaway "Mom", he will run over and correct her seriously.

"YaYa, this is my mother, not your mother!"

A more serious look always makes people laugh!

Fortunately, Hathaway was there. The brat was not afraid of his father, but he was very afraid of his mother. As long as Hathaway's face became serious, he would obediently turn around and find other fun.

If Hathaway was not here, he would have more tricks up his sleeve, pestering little Jacob to play around.

"Ducky, go catch ducky!"

"Duck, go see the chicks!"

"Yucky, take me out!"

…

The two children are actually playing quite well. In more than a month, Xiao Xiong'er's English has improved a lot!

Preparations for the movie "Room" are progressing smoothly, and preparations for the release of the novel are also in full swing.

Scholar Press finalized all editions of the novel in early July.

Printing and publicity are going on simultaneously, and Shanhe's new work is the best promotional slogan.

With the cooperation between Scholar Press and Disney, the novel "Room" and the upcoming movie adaptation have long been known around the world and are highly anticipated!

In the first two weeks of August, "Bring Her Eyes" was still raging in the domestic film market. The release of Hollywood blockbusters "Pacific Rim" and "The Wolverine 2" did not put much pressure on the film.

As long as the quality of domestic science fiction is high enough, its domestic advantages cannot be matched by Hollywood films.

"Bring Her Eyes" has exceeded the box office threshold of 2 billion yuan as scheduled, with only Shan He's "Gravity" left in front!

Can "Bring Her Eyes" break the domestic box office ceiling of 2.3 billion yuan?

This topic has become the focus of domestic entertainment gossip circles.

Four years ago, "Gravity" came roaring to life, creating a box office hurricane with overwhelming momentum.

At that time, everyone thought that no one could break this box office record within ten years, but only four years later, this record was in danger.

"Bring Her Eyes" will most likely rewrite this record, but it probably won't last long!

Because Shanhe's perverted "Young Yi" is coming soon. This movie with an investment of over 200 million US dollars and the support of the original work is bound to set off a box office frenzy again!

Breaking the record is really not difficult for Shanhe!

The potential of the Chinese film market astonishes everyone!

The double combo of Ning Hao and Shan He even gave the public the illusion that Chinese films seem to be competing with Hollywood!
