Every time a movie is released, as the protagonist, it is natural to be active on the screen for a period of time, and this time is also a day for the media to chase. used to be just Hollywood, but this time "Infernal Affairs" focused on promoting the Asian market, which made his fame in Asia skyrocket, and Chen Tiandu's private life began to attract more and more attention from paparazzi.

With the cooperation of the Hollywood media, the news that Chen Tiandu bought a luxury mountain villa and Kate Beckinsale in Marbury Beach, Los Angeles was also exposed. Spanning 28,000 square feet, it covers 2 acres (8,093 square meters) and faces the sea, as well as a private beach and marina for yachts. In the report, he knew the layout of his house well, and also reported that "in the movie, Chen Yongren did not get an office facing the sea, but in reality, Chen Tiandu had a private palace facing the sea." Now with Kate **, it seems that good things are coming. ”

ridiculed his generosity, and even reported the situation on the day of the moving party. How many celebrities came, Tom Hanks brought his two young sons to the scene, etc., there are reports, but fortunately it is just a speculative report, and most of the news is made up.

Chen Tiandu also read the newspaper to know that someone actually took aerial pictures of his villa layout, and even reported how many rooms, swimming pools, trees, and reefs there were in his home, and he was immediately startled. I called back and asked to know that the new protective measures were installed, nothing happened, plus there are many people living nearby who are statuses, and the security facilities are very complete.

Chen Tiandu disliked this kind of report of showing off his wealth very much, and it was easy to arouse the hatred of the common people against the rich.

In fact, the asking price of this house is not high. Much cheaper than Beverly Hills. The price of 13 million dollars. He still pays in installments. Compared with the bold behavior of some local tyrants in China in the past who bought a house in the United States and paid in full, it is simply a drop in the bucket. Although he has been mentally prepared for a long time, it is still quite annoying for someone to pick up his private life so cleanly, which is very different from his low-key and trouble-making temperament.

Gather your mood and prepare to leave for Europe to promote the film, but the phone rings.

Now as his fame grows, many people in the film and television industry have begun to think of ways to get his phone number. Then pull the relationship, flattery, flattery, so his previous phone, although it is still in use but no longer carry, the new mobile phone number only knows some relatives and friends and the company's senior management, will ring There must be something wrong, he picked up the phone!

When he saw that the number was Auntie's, he smiled at each other, "Hey, Auntie, I'm about to catch a plane." Can I help you? How is the movie being released in South Korea? ”

There was silence on the other side for a while, but another female voice came out. "Boss, I'm Jun Ji-hyun."

"Jun Ji-hyun?" Chen Tiandu was slightly surprised, "Find me something, how is Chinese learning, talk to me in Chinese." ”

"Huhu, uncle, and me. I'm Yun'er, Yun'er misses you, when will you come to see me. Another interferer grabbed the talk.

Chen Tiandu's face suddenly changed to a smile, "Yun'er, I'll go see you when I have time." Did you receive the card you received and did you take everyone out to eat. ”

Yun'a's face was red, she was startled when she talked about this card, and when she came home from school, she was stopped by Park Shiming, a Citibank staff member who had eaten barbecue together, at the gate of the campus, saying that she was ordered to hand her a pocket money bank card. In the surprised eyes of the friends around her, she accepted it with vanity, and she investigated it like a thief that night, and the numbers in it startled her.

100,000 US dollars, how many won does it have to be?

It's just that children can use so much money, a little overwhelmed, fortunately, An Zhenna guided her the next day, you can invite everyone to eat and remember to swipe this card. She realized that this was not her pocket money alone, and her little head would inevitably be a little disappointed. Then she generously invited Jun Ji-hyun, as well as Son Ye-jin and Kim Tae-hee, two sisters who were preparing to take the college entrance examination, to dinner, and by the way, she brought a few friends who didn't practice hard, and her bold appearance when she took out the card, which instantly raised her status in the company by a notch.

"Eh, don't make a fuss, I have important things to say." Jun Ji-hyun showed off his Chinese and said confidently: "Boss, congratulations on the release of your movie in Korea." By the way, when will "Sassy Girlfriend" be filmed, and if I don't shoot again, I'll pick up other TV series? ”

Chen Tiandu suddenly laughed, "This is your Chinese level?" ”

Jun Ji-hyun felt good about himself and said, "It's not bad, I've studied very seriously, and I also enrolled in a Chinese course at school." ”

"What a fart!" Chen Tiandu drank her into a dwarf in one gulp, "Tell my aunt to let you ...... tomorrow If you don't fly to China tonight, you won't be able to learn Chinese in Korea. I can't even speak, how do you ask me to make a movie. ”

"Yikes!" Suddenly there was a scolding, and the third person who spoke came from the opposite side again, it was the aunt who broke in and shouted: "You two little bastards, how dare you use my mobile phone to make a call, it's really too bold, who to call, Tiandu?" ”

"President, it was the uncle who called first, and we also answered the phone for you." Yuna was the first to speak.

"Yes, that's right." Jun Ji-hyun echoed, "The president doesn't need to thank you. ”

Chen Tiandu: "...... Hey, I'm still listening. ”

Delayed by this, Chen Tiandu postponed his departure slightly and called Zhang Ziyi. "Hey, director, you actually called me. Congratulations on the success of your movie, do you want to have a dinner? ”“…… Ziyi, please do you a favor, do you know Teacher Chang Li's mobile phone number, I want to install a temporary student in your class, and you will have to help her more when the time comes. ”

Two days later, Jun Ji-hyun, who was not comfortable with her whole body, came to study in the Chinese opera acting class with strangeness and restraint, and she came in as an exchange student.

I don't want to come to death, but who calls Chen Tiandu the boss, who holds her destiny for the next ten years. I could only swallow tears into my stomach, "Damn bad guy, wait, I'll take revenge." ”

This is just a small episode in Chen Tiandu's life, when the night is replaced by day, and the sun rises to bloom brightly. A plane slowly lifts off from the Capital International Airport. After reaching the sky, it roared and flew to the other side of the earth at high speed. Chen Tiandu landed in the United Kingdom, France, Mexico, and Germany with several main creators...... and many other ticket warehouse countries. Naturally, there is also an important Japanese ticket warehouse.

When the week of beware came, the crew that had been tired for a week was completely disbanded.

"Infernal Affairs" collected another 52 million in the mainland in the second week, and the box office exceeded 100 million yuan in two weeks, accumulating 135 million yuan. Chen Tiandu became the second director in the mainland to have a domestic film box office of more than 100 million. The third week of the party's founding day came, but unfortunately it was not erected, and unclear versions of pirated discs have appeared on the market one after another, apparently filmed from movie theaters. The box office of the movie also plummeted, collecting only 26 million. 161 million. has leveled the glory of "The Matrix", but 200 million is almost impossible.

In Hong Kong, the table is the most active, but after all, the market is limited, and the box office received 18.8 million in the next week and directly exceeded 50 million Hong Kong dollars, attracting the attention of the whole Hong Kong, and also refreshed the record of breaking 50 million in the fastest, and it seems that the once unattainable record of 62 million Hong Kong dollars is no longer so far away. Many people have seen it more than once, but they still contribute to the box office. But in the third week, because of the first two weeks of excessive consumption enthusiasm. This week's box office plummeted, earning only 8.23 million. The accumulated 59.03 million Hong Kong dollars is only one step away from 60 million.

This number is almost a big carnival in Hong Kong, and Lin Jianyue patted his chest and assured Chen Tiandu that "Infernal Affairs" will break the record in Hong Kong.

The final box office of the movie in Baodao exceeded 168 million Taiwan dollars, about 32 million yuan, which is already quite a hot seller. In Treasure Island, it may only be a hot sale, but in Japan, it can only be described as money grabbing and madness.

In fact, in recent years, few Chinese-language films have become popular in Japan, and Hong Kong's golden age has passed, and only Chenlong's movies are still selling. In the mid-80s, this country was once reduced to a stage where Hong Kong films and American blockbusters competed for singing because of the indisputability of local films, and basically the movies that could sell well in the United States and Hong Kong were most likely successful in Japan.

In the 90s, the boom of solo films and independent productions led to films named after individuals. Japanese cinema also began to rise and became famous in the international film scene. Kohei Oguri's film "Thorns of Death" won the Cannes Filmhei Family Award in 1990, Naoto Takenaka's "The Incompetent" lamented the pursuit of poverty in a wealthy society in Venice, Takeshi Kitano's "Fireworks" won the Venice Gold Award in 1998, as well as Sakamoto's fast-paced films, Dabayashi's films that walk a tightrope between reality and fiction, and the novel urban comedy writer Zhou Bo Masayuki.

In 1990, the first Oriental filmmaker, Akira Kurosawa, won the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement, completing another leap in Oriental cinema. In 1997, Shohei Imamura's "Eel" won the Cannes Gold Award again, showing the new vitality of Japanese cinema.

Their local films have risen, and under local protection measures, it is difficult to have Hong Kong films in the 80s to be glorious in Japan.

In particular, the animation culture is thriving, and the best-selling manga have been released in theatrical versions, repeatedly creating jaw-dropping box office hits, and gradually cultivating the wonderful interest of Japanese audiences. Even American blockbusters are sometimes hard to match.

Since its premiere in Japan on the 11th, "Infernal Affairs" has earned 220 million at the box office in its first week, approaching the champion of Japan's 2000 summer season with an unstoppable momentum.

In the second week of screening, with the popularity overseas, especially in North America, word-of-mouth communication in Japan and spontaneous publicity by Japanese media, the box office of "Infernal Affairs", which has reached 1017 theaters, has shown an explosive momentum, and the box office exceeded 100 million in a single day on the 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st, with 105 million, 102 million, 101 million, and 119 million respectively......

It only gradually declined in the third week, but there are still more than 600 theaters showing movies.

When the statistics for the new day were finally transmitted back from Japan late at night on the 22nd, Chen Tiandu lay quietly and was in a calm mood.

The success of this work, which he has put too much effort into is a foregone conclusion.

The original work, which lost to him more than one step in terms of both intentions and plot, was able to score much more when it was released in Asia. Hong Kong originals don't sell this amount in Asia, only Hong Kong people chase after them.

1.8 billion yen, this is the final box office of "Infernal Affairs" in Japan, although it is not much compared with Tatsuryu's previous films in Japan, which often exceeded one billion. But there is no doubt that his third film released in Japan was also a success, and it is no surprise that after three consecutive blockbusters, Chen Tiandu will surely become a glaring golden sign for Asian filmmakers in Japan.
