During the Spring Festival of &nb11, Bai Yuhan spent time on the plane, and the cooperation between Lionsgate and Wanhe Tianyi involved as many as 100 contracts that required his signature. So during this period of time, he basically went back and forth to the United States, signed a meeting, and had a meal.

"You at the Same Table" was a big hit, and Bai Yuhan's heart became restless, ready to make a science fiction film. The domestic sci-fi film market is very small, and Bai Yuhan plans to make a Sino-American co-production, so he will set up a project through Summit Entertainment. However, this plan is only arranged by the assistant first, and a lot of market research is required.

In addition, Bai Yuhan calculated the time, and the documentary "A Bite of China" he booked was almost time to start. This documentary was filed very early, but Bai Yuhan has been focusing on the movie and has not found time to shoot. This time, he plans to poach a few documentary directors from CCTV to assist him in completing his creation.

As a kind of video material of great significance, documentary has not been able to develop well in China, and since last year, CCTV has increased investment and is ready to upgrade the documentary. Under the instruction of Bai Yuhan, Wanhe Tianyi also reached a strategic cooperative relationship with CCTV Documentary Channel.

Wanhe Tianyi will become the documentary supplier of CCTV Documentary Channel.

After the CCTV Documentary Channel reformed the form of documentaries, the documentaries broadcast by it are no longer simply invested and produced by CCTV, but the investment intention is subcontracted to Duojia Production Company by way of bidding.

The commercial value of documentaries may not be as great as that of films, but their influence is very widespread. Wanhe Tianyi wants to become the hegemon in the field of film and television and create a pan-entertainment industry chain, and documentaries cannot be ignored. Right now. There have been a number of documentaries, which have been established and entered the production process in Wanhe Tianyi.

"A Bite of China" has finally begun to act.

This documentary, directed by Bai Yuhan himself, will surely become Wanhe Tianyi's sail in the field of documentaries with Bai Yuhan's halo bonus. CCTV is also very much looking forward to cooperating with Bai Yuhan on this food documentary. Wanhe Tianyi needs a broadcast platform, and CCTV needs to use Bai Yuhan's fame. The double reflex hit it off.

"I am very pleased to announce that Wanhe Tianyi has joined hands with CCTV Documentary Channel. Coming soon, the food documentary "A Bite of China" directed by Bai Yuhan will be launched next year, and I hope you can support it. "Wanhe Tianyi's official Weibo. On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, this message was quietly released.

However, after the Chinese New Year, everyone didn't have the heart to pay attention to any documentaries, even the documentaries directed by Bai Yuhan. So this news was quickly drowned under all kinds of New Year-related news, and there was no splash. There were only some die-hard fans of Bai Yuhan, who screamed and discussed for a while.

If you drown, you will drown, after all, there will be more than a year before it can be launched. Now no matter how big the propaganda is, it is useless.

Bai Yuhan, who was busy, recalled the original version of "A Bite of China" that he had read, and quickly arranged various needs. As a big director with his own team. He doesn't need to spend much energy at all now, focusing on the preparation of the crew, and the team can complete his arrangement very well.

Bai Yuhan only needs to use his brain to think, and then move his mouth to give orders. In the past, when he made films, he had to ask about everything, but now he is making films. The old god is sitting in the chair, and all the trivial work is done by the executive director, assistant director and assistant director. This is the treatment of famous directors.

After assigning the task of selecting materials, Bai Yuhan temporarily put "A Bite of China" aside and continued to be busy with the most important work of the moment, signing a contract with Lionsgate.

……

&nb11 The Spring Festival is not very lively, the Spring Festival Gala is still scolded, and the New Year's money still has to be paid. Only the cinema that was cold in previous years is particularly lively this year. After the Spring Festival has become more and more Chinese New Year and summer holidays, the largest schedule in the Chinese film market, in the New Year, when the taste of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker, going to the cinema to watch movies has become a new pastime for the people.

So this year's Spring Festival file, from January 31st to February 6th, suddenly squeezed in 7 movies such as "The Strongest Thing", "I Love HK Happy Long Live", "Wonder Heroes", "I Know a Woman's Heart", "Panda Story", "Quit Smoking and Don't Quit Drinking" and so on. The number of paintings opened has almost set a record for the mainland film market.

Because there are too many films, the film schedule of "You at the Same Table" has been greatly impacted, from nearly half of the film schedule last week to about one-third, and this film schedule is still the highest among many movies this week. Encouraged by the Spring Festival stalls, the film market rebounded slightly this week.

Films such as "The Chronicles of Narnia 3" and "Quit Smoking and Don't Quit Drinking" have too little box office and have not been able to enter the top ten at the box office.

"I Love HK Happy Long Live" is 7oo in four days, and the results are a bit bad. "Tron: War Chronicle" 71o million can still hang at the bottom of the list. "Wonder Heroes" is 12oo in four days, which is unsatisfactory. "Panda Story" couldn't replicate the power of "Kung Fu Panda", and 14oo in four days barely passed. "New Shaolin Temple" slipped to 18oo this week, and the box office of 150 million is difficult.

"I Know a Woman's Heart", which was cooperated by Andy Lau and Gong Li hand in hand, was 220,000 in four days, which is not bad, but it is quite different from the championship goal before the release, ranking fifth on the box office list. "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: The Year of the Rabbit" received 250,000 this week, with a total box office of 1o50 million, completing the task of breaking 100 million.

The third place is "Wulin Gaiden", surrounded by strong opponents, it got 470oo, plus last week's box office of 52oooo, the total box office has reached 99oooo, for such a small-budget comedy, it has made a lot of money.

The second place is "The Strongest Affair", which was released for seven days, and Hong Kong celebrities gathered, and got a box office of 61oo, which is much better than the previous "Flower Field Affair 2O11".

However, even with the diversion of so many new films, with the rebound in the number of moviegoers in the Lunar New Year stalls, "You at the Same Table", which has dropped a lot in the film schedule, still won the weekly championship for the fourth time with 7.65 million yuan. The total box office has accumulated to 79o8o yuan, which is far from breaking the 800 million mark. It's only one step away.

"Breaking 8 is imminent, "You at the Same Table" is smiling proudly."

"The Spring Festival stalls have won the championship again, and "You at the Same Table" is about to reach 800 million box office. Set a new box office record for domestic films. ”

"The small fresh storm of the big commercial director detonated the national campus memories and became a phenomenal movie."

"Bai Yuhan is China's most box-office director, and he is also the most successful actor at the box office, and the two films "33 Days of Broken Love" and "You at the Same Table" in which he played the leading role have all become phenomenal dark horses." - "Yangcheng Evening News".

Bai Yuhan once again used a small-budget movie to overturn the limits of our cognition. Won 800 million box office in 24 days, and the return on investment reached almost 80 times. And the movie is still in theaters, and the final box office is even expected to exceed 900 million yuan. Breaking the shackles of the box office again and again, does it mean that the next movie. He wants to create 1o billion, an impossible task for domestic films? ”

There was an uproar in the domestic media, as well as in the Asian media.

Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun": "The movie "You at the Same Table" starring Chinese director Bai Yuhan himself has set the best box office record for Chinese films in China, and the movie has a very good reputation, causing the Chinese people to feel sad. It is said that Kadokawa Pictures is already negotiating the introduction of "You at the Same Table". ”

Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao": "Bai Yuhan is China's most box-office director and the most successful actor at the box office, and the two films "33 Days of Broken Love" and "You at the Same Table" in which he played the leading role have all become phenomenal dark horses. "Isn't this news very familiar? Indeed, this is a direct copy of the content of the "Yangcheng Evening News".

As a small city, Singapore has only one media outlet. Mediacorp, because the competition is not fierce enough, there is no news to report, many of them just find some news from other places and fool the past. In this small island nation, most of the TV dramas are imported from Chinese mainland, Taiwan and South Korea. The same goes for magazines and weeklies.

Malaysia's Sin Chew Daily: "On the occasion of the Chinese New Year, a "You at the Same Table" set a new box office record. The Chinese media called director Bai Yuhan the new master of Chinese cinema and compared him to Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang. This month, "You at the Same Table" is about to be released in my country. ”

South Korea's WS website: "Another world-class director was born, "You at the Table" has won more than 100 million US dollars at the box office in China, and the director and star Bai Yuhan is a very young director, only 28 years old this year. And according to the evidence, he is likely to be of Korean descent. ”

There was an uproar in Asia, and Hollywood also paid attention to a miracle film phenomenon in China's emerging film market. In fact, as the world's most potential film market, Hollywood has never cut off its attention to Chinese films. China has a population of more than 1.3 billion, and once it is developed, the money scene is too brilliant.

American "Variety": "Chinese films are in a stage of change and development, the reign of the fifth generation of directors has passed, and new, young directors have begun to pour out, during the Chinese New Year this year, a love movie "You at the Same Table" crazy got 800 million yuan at the box office, about 125 million US dollars. ”

"Bai Yuhan is a very good director, he was born in 1983, he is only 27 years old this year (not yet 28 years old), but he is already the founder of two large companies, and has made five films and many film and television dramas. He is the best young director in Asia and the best young director in the world, and his experience can be written as a legend. ”

“…… Balabala...... According to the recent share change of Summit Entertainment, it appears that a Chinese company has joined forces with Lionsgate to acquire Summit Entertainment, and the industry speculates that this company is likely to be Bai Yuhan's Wanhe Tianyi Film and Television Company, China's largest private entertainment company. ”

"If this is true, then Bai Yuhan's entry into Hollywood has entered the countdown stage, and the most outstanding director of Chinese commercial films will bring a different style to Hollywood, which has fallen into the fall of the sequel, let's wait and see!"

Another Hollywood media outlet with the same name as "Variety", "Hollywood Entertainment Report" said: "The film "You at the Same Table" from China achieved a box office of $125 million in 24 days of release, Bai Yuhan is an excellent commercial director, and I look forward to him coming to Hollywood!" ”

Hollywood is a global film industry, not only the territory of American directors and Canadian directors, but also the world's best directors, actors, screenwriters, and special effects producers. It is this inclusion and absorption of the world's best film talent that has allowed Hollywood to rule the film world.

Bai Yuhan, who has become the No.1 commercial film director in China, will come to Hollywood sooner or later in the eyes of the Hollywood media. Whether it is not adapted to the water and soil, or the world, Hollywood is the ultimate battlefield for a director.

Will Bai Yuhan go?

Perhaps, just after that. (To be continued)
