(PS: I don't want to, but I can't help myself.) Recently, a lot of things have happened in the unit, and several colleagues have been left, and the work pressure has increased suddenly. There's no way.,Today's update can only last two more.。 Tomorrow will resume the third watch. Sorry!)

The blazing summer sun is scorching the streets of Beverly Hills.

Peng Yichen and Yu Jing lay lazily in the shade of the back garden of the villa, putting their feet in the water of the small swimming pool to cool off the heat.

Peng Yichen kept flipping his mobile phone and picking some more familiar numbers to reply.

With the explosive box office growth of "The Country Teacher", he has been receiving many text messages and phone calls every day for a week.

These calls come from familiar friends and loved ones, or from peers in circles that are not so familiar.

In short, it's as if people all over the world are rejoicing at the success of his films.

The only one who complains may be Han Sanpin of CCTV.

He said a few words on the phone, it seems that the director and screenwriter we invited are too bad, and they still can't compare to Director Peng's generosity.

The reason why Han Sanpin has such a performance.

Mainly because he was looking for a relationship with Peng Yichen, and "New Shaolin Temple", which was released in North America, was a big loss.

The film was released in more than 1,800 theaters across North America on April 12.

Judging from the scale of this release, Legendary Pictures, as a distributor, has indeed put a lot of effort into promoting this movie.

But the result was a big disappointment to everyone, and the film was released early after only 2 weeks in North America.

The total North American box office is less than half of the publicity cost, only $2.1 million.

It's no wonder that Han Sanpin feels envious and jealous now when he sees "Country Teacher" achieving such amazing box office results in North America.

Peng Yichen is actually very helpless in his heart, even if the box office performance of "New Shaolin Temple" in China is very bad, let alone in North America.

A good kung fu commercial movie is made with bitterness and hatred, and the key is that these bitter and bitter things are not convincing.

Why should the audience pay to watch this movie!

Of course, congratulations, text messages, emails, phone calls, etc. sent by other good friends and peers in the circle are basically blessings and compliments on him.

He continued to look through the text messages below until he saw another text message, and then stopped.

"Director Peng! Your "Country Teacher" is so amazing! I really hope to have the opportunity to continue to work with you. ”

This was sent by Li Yuqi.

Since the filming of "Journey to the West", Peng Yichen has never contacted this girl.

As long as he thought of the fact that during the filming, this girl fell on her body from time to time, Peng Yichen didn't dare to contact her.

After thinking about it, he deleted the text message completely.

Peng Yichen didn't want to give this girl more room for imagination, especially when Yu Jing was pregnant now.

At this moment, suddenly there was a splash in the pool.

He looked up at the pool beside him.

Yu Jing glided lightly across the pool like a mermaid.

Although fans in Europe and the United States are not as fanatical as Asian fans, as the hottest pair of popular stars today, Peng Yichen and Yu Jing will still be watched by many people when they go out shopping.

That's not a good feeling.

As a result, the two of them haven't been out for many days.

"Country Teacher" has achieved success beyond everyone's imagination, not only making Peng Yichen's popularity in North America soar to unimaginable levels again.

So much so that his fans have even begun to call him "Emperor Chen", which means the "king of the world" who surpasses Cameron and is the king of the movie world.

Even Tom Hanks, Morgan Freeman, Chen Daoming, and Yu Jing, the main actors in the movie, have achieved an amazing increase in popularity in North America.

Tom Hanks and Morgan Freeman, who were originally Hollywood stars, were limited in popularity.

But for Chen Daoming and Yu Jing, these two Chinese actors, who were originally unknown in the North American film industry, actually gained popularity equivalent to first-line stars in the Star Flag Country with a movie.

can imagine how terrifying the movie "Country Teacher" is now in the Star Flag Country.

In the past few days, whether it is traditional print media or website media, as long as there is a discussion of film entertainment, there will inevitably be news of "The Country Teacher" and the main actors of this movie.

Film critics' reviews, reports on box office results, and interviews with the crew and actors have all become news of interest to fans.

Of course, the tabloids and paparazzi in the Star Flag Country focused their firepower on Peng Yichen and Yu Jing, young lovers.

Yu Jing and Peng Yichen's sister and brother are in love, and they got married early and had children, and they have known each other for 6 years without scandals at all.

These are all things that the paparazzi want to dig into.

They don't believe that there is such a perfect couple and couple in the world, and they do everything possible to find out the stain on them so that they can make a lot of money.

It's a pity that no matter how hard they try, they can't find the stain on these two people.

Peng Yichen and Yu Jing didn't dare to go out, to a large extent, because the tracking and shooting of these paparazzi was too annoying.

It's a pity that the paparazzi don't pay attention to their feelings at all, and as soon as they see them in a public place, they immediately block and track.

So much so that two days ago, when they went to the seaside town where they filmed "About Time", they were also tracked and intercepted by these paparazzi.

The two have no choice but to stay at home now, wait for the end of the matter on the side of "The Country Teacher", and then join up with the crew that Summit Entertainment has already formed to shoot that commercial action movie.

Just when the two of them were by the pool, leisurely enjoying a cool midsummer afternoon.

Suddenly, from the front yard of the villa, the nanny came over with a handsome and gloomy middle-aged man.

Peng Yichen covered the sunlight above his head with his hand, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be his brother, Zhang Guorong, who had arrived.

He greeted with a smile, "Hi, Brother Rong." Didn't you say that you would come to the Star Banner Country in another week, and why did you arrive so soon?"

Zhang Guorong over there smiled faintly and said: "Chen Zai, I have heard in China that the box office of your movie in North America exceeded 100 million US dollars in one week, and the box office not only did not drop in the second week, but also increased by more than 50 million. If I don't work hard, I'm too lazy at home and don't work. In two years, you won't even be able to see your taillights. ”

Peng Yichen smiled and asked the nanny to get a drink, and then moved a sun lounger for Zhang Guorong to sit down.

Only then did he smile: "You are my eldest brother, how embarrassed am I to say this." Sister Mei, didn't you say that I came to the Star Flag Country with you to play? I still think that I will wait for the next movie to finish. Yu Jing and I, as well as you and Sister Mei, the four of us will go through all the fun places in the Star Flag Country together!"

"Hehe, your idea must have won Amei's heart. You don't know, Amei has prepared a lot of things in the past few days, and she is waiting to have a good time in the Star Flag Country for a few months. I wasn't as troublesome as she was, so I came over myself first. Zhang Guorong replied with a smile.

After speaking, he turned the topic back to "The Country Teacher".

"You don't know. How popular the movie "Country Teacher" is in China now, Amei and I waited in Kyoto for a few days, but we didn't buy the 3D-MAX version, and I didn't buy it with my friends. ”

"Haha, the number of 3D-MAX theaters is still too small now!" Peng Yichen laughed and continued: "In this way, when Sister Mei arrives, I invite the two of you to take a look at the 3D-MAX version, otherwise it will be a little regrettable." ”

Zhang Guorong said with a smile: "That's good, we also have to experience the latest film technology in order to keep up with the times! But I don't know how long it will take for the next movie to start filming, I'm in a hurry to start work!"

Peng Yichen thought about it and said with a smile: ""Country Teacher" has been released for 2 weeks, and in another week, the box office will be stable." At that time, I'll take you to get in touch with Summit Entertainment, and they've already started to form a crew. We're going to audition for the actors, and we'll be able to shoot soon. ”

"Well, I'll be in Los Angeles with Ame this week, and you'll have to be our guide. Zhang Guorong smiled, and then said with some emotion: "It's really enjoyable to watch you play with Hanks and Freeman this time, I don't know when I will be able to cooperate with such a top actor." ”

Indeed, the success of "Country Teacher" this time not only made Peng Yichen's directorial strength recognized by Hollywood, but his acting skills once again made the North American audience look sideways.

Many times, it is the opponent who can show your greatness.

In the past, the actors Peng Yichen cooperated with were often actors who were not well-known in North America.

But this time, he played against Tom Hanks, Morgan Freeman and other Hollywood recognized top actors, and he was able to stay behind.

This made many Hollywood filmmakers who used to disdain his acting skills look at him with admiration.

And another person who relied on this movie to gain Hollywood recognition is Chen Daoming.

The rural teacher he performs is touching and tear-jerking.

fully demonstrates his deep understanding of the role and superb acting skills.

So much so that the role of the rural teacher has become an important part of the film that will inevitably be mentioned in the comments of many Hollywood media and film critics.

The Los Angeles Times said, "It is precisely because of the performances of a group of outstanding actors such as Peng Yichen, Tom Hanks, Morgan Freeman, and Chen Daoming that this sci-fi commercial film is endowed with such powerful connotation and depth......

In the comments of many media, the two leading actors, Peng Yichen and Chen Daoming, are frequently associated with the "Oscar Best Actor".

This is definitely a very rare thing for a "commercial movie" released in the summer, as well as two purely Chinese actors.

Wicks Tolma, a film critic known for his sharp and extreme reviews, even wrote on his Facebook page:

"If the various awards of the Star Flag Country deliberately ignore this great "Country Teacher" because of conservative traditional ideas and damn racial discrimination, it will be a disaster even more terrible than "Titanic". ”

In any case, at present, Chen Daoming and Peng Yichen's popularity in the Star Flag Country is rising rapidly every day.

It's not that Zhang Guorong is jealous of them, because with the height he has obtained in Huaxia and Xiangjiang, there is no need to envy anyone at all.

But being able to rely on a "Country Teacher" to get such a reputation and glory at the pinnacle of world movies in North America still makes Zhang Guorong feel a little emotional.
