『Chapter error, click here to report』

It is said that it was Mo Shaocong who took over the role of Liang Kuan back then, this person... It's embarrassing!

Of course he was popular, at his peak, he was called the second Liu Tianwang, "The Legend of Huoyun", he is the leading actor, who is playing with him? Lin Qingxia!

"Best Son-in-law" played the first male lead, Zhang Xueyou and Zhou Xingchi could only play his supporting roles, and it was his most beautiful time.

After that, it became more and more confused, and the luck was not good!

Then, it broke out that he abandoned his son, and by the way, he also took drugs...

Completely disappear in the circle...

"What you said makes sense, let's do it, I deleted some of the plots, and your feelings for Aunt Thirteen can only be vaguely mentioned at most, and you must not show it clearly, how about it?"

After listening to Zhou Yiwei's complaint, Pao Hui felt that he was indeed a little inconsiderate.

Old Monster Xu's thoughts are incomprehensible to ordinary people, maybe he added this paragraph to pay tribute to "The Condor Heroes"?

Or is it to compensate Mo Shaocong?

After all, when filming "Once Upon a Time", he was still quite popular, so he couldn't have so few scenes...

"Thank you, director, I can't turn this corner, so..."

Zhou Yiwei didn't expect Xu Hui to be so good at talking, and he really listened to his opinion!

It is said that Xu Hui is the most popular director at this stage, what does he have in Zhou Yiwei?

It's only been a few years since his debut, just a young actor...

In fact, he has been holding these words in his heart, and he originally planned to bury them in his heart forever, but he didn't expect the director to see at a glance that he seemed to be a little confused about the role.

“… It's okay, everyone is for the good of the movie, you understand it well, the characters are better understood, and when the time comes, the filming will be much smoother!"

Pao Hui waved his hand absently.

To be honest, although he doesn't like actors who contradict his own opinions, he can still listen to the correct opinions, and no one can guarantee that he will always be the most correct...

"Then director, I'll go back first..."

"Well, go back and have a good rest, you will have a play tomorrow!"

Xu Hui nodded, and Zhou Yiwei turned around to leave.

"Wait a minute, Yi Wei, there's something..."

Cannon Hui suddenly thought of something.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Yiwei turned his head and looked at Xu Hui a little nervously, he was still a little worried that the director would change his mind temporarily...

"Have you seen "Embroidered Spring Knife"?"

“… Well, I've seen it. ”

"Okay, you go back first, and when this movie is over, we'll talk about the rest!"

Xu Hui smiled and left first.

"Embroidered Spring Knife - The Biography of Ding Xiu" is a movie that Xu Hui once conceived, and he was originally going to star in it, but now that he has Zhou Yiwei, let's leave it to him!

……

In North America, the summer season has always been a time for blockbusters to gather.

Last year, the total box office revenue from May to August in North America exceeded $4 billion, accounting for nearly half of the annual revenue. It can be said that this is the most precious schedule in North America, and almost all of the most exciting entertainment movies of the year will be released in the summer.

This is not only a fierce schedule, but also a must for production companies.

In the summer of 2010, "Iron Man 2", "Shrek 4", "Dragon Strike Team", "Toy Story 3", "Twilight 3: Lunar Eclipse", "Inception", "Agent Sauter", "Wizard Apprentice", "Inception", "Kung Fu Dream"...

It's already July, and almost all of the above annual blockbusters have been released.

The effect is almost as expected, except for "The Wizard's Apprentice", the production cost of 150 million, the box office and word of mouth are all rotten, and Uncle Cage's reputation as the king of bad movies can't be shaken off at all!

It's strange that there are many outdated Hollywood stars like Uncle Cage, but there are very few like him, almost every movie with him can be introduced to the mainland...

"Tianlong Special Attack Team", forget it, don't mention it...

Of course, the performance of the summer season in the North American market is still very strong, and the total box office for the whole of June reached $1.5 billion, setting a new record.

The first edition of The Hollywood Reporter in July introduced the top 20 films at the box office as a whole, and the editor Jenny was in charge of the statistics and the editor-in-chief.

The first place is, of course, "Toy Story 3", after all, it is an animated film that accompanied the United States in the nineties!

After that, "Iron Man 2", the charm of Robert Downey Jr. is unstoppable...

In sixteenth place is a film called "Once Upon a Time in China", "Once Upon a Time in China"?

Box office, $47 million...

Jenny is a little weird, which company is this movie?

Why is there no news at all?

After carefully checking the information, the publisher is actually Disney!

Strange, when did Disney get this live-action movie about China in style?

Do they think that the miracle of "Mulan" can continue to be staged?

If you look closely, the director, the starring, Jenny doesn't know any of them!

"Pete..."

"What's wrong?"

"Do you know this "Once Upon a Time in China"?"

Jenny dials her assistant, Pete.

“… I don't know much, it's won the Jury's Choice at the Cannes Film Festival, and it's a kung fu film! I have a friend who has seen this movie, do you want to ask him?"

“… No, I'll call and ask the person in charge of Disney!"

The Hollywood Reporter can be said to be the most professional film magazine in the United States, and has a good relationship with various film and television companies.

Hanging up the phone, Jenny sent a text message to her friend, that is, Thompson, a staff member of Disney's distribution department, and had a brief chat, Jenny went straight to the point, what is the situation of the movie "Once Upon a Time in China".

Thompson took the initiative to call and detailed everything he knew.

Jenny looked away from her ear again, looking puzzled.

Listening to Thompson's introduction, this "Once Upon a Time in China" was directed by a young Chinese director, and after the Cannes screening, the Hollywood Big Six expressed interest in the film, and in the end, the director chose to cooperate with Disney and handed over the North American and European screening rights to Disney.

Disney didn't pay much attention to it at first, but it was just released according to the general B-level production, and it was also aimed at cities with a large number of Chinese people, such as Los Angeles and New York.

Unexpectedly, the reputation of the movie is surprisingly good, not only the Chinese like it very much, but even many Native Americans are particularly infatuated, the first week of release, it received a box office of 7 million US dollars, so, in the second week, Disney decided to expand the scope of screening, the effect is very good, the second week box office reported to reach 24 million US dollars, the third week, the box office has fallen, but there are still 16 million US dollars, and now the movie has not been released, the cumulative box office has been 47 million...

Disney decided to extend the screening period, and according to their estimates, the film is likely to grossed between $00,000!

"The director's name is Xu Hui..."
