Chapter 507 Annual Celebration

The "League of Assassins" movie has achieved a bumper box office in North America and around the world, and it is okay in terms of word-of-mouth!

With its super popularity, this movie topped the annual total box office in North America, and deservedly became the most popular movie in 04!

With a total box office of 480 million in North America, it has become the most popular film of the year in people's hearts and media critics, and "League of Assassins" has also set off a whirlwind in Asia!

With the "Infernal Affairs" series of films saving the Hong Kong film market, this film has achieved amazing box office results in both mainland China and Hong Kong!

The film "League of Assassins" broke through the 500 million mark in the Chinese film market, which is equivalent to more than 70 million box office results in the North American market!

When Zhou Shaoming saw that the movie "League of Assassins" achieved a box office result of 480 million in the North American market, he knew that the task assigned by the system had been completed!

And Scarlett Johansson, as the leading actor, is even more popular, not only in the North American film market, but also Jude Law, another leading actor in the successful film, is rapidly becoming popular all over the world in Asia! The movie "League of Assassins" is all the rage around the world, and the name of the Hollywood superstar Scarlett Johansson is deeply remembered in the hearts of the audience!

Zhou Shaoming smiled at the corner of his mouth, the task given by the system this time has been successfully completed, as for the next one, Zhou Shaoming has already preliminarily planned to shoot the movie "Detective".

For this movie, Zhou Shaoming has not considered too much about the starring role of the script! After all, it was the end of 2004, and with the popularity of the "League of Assassins" movie, Zhou Shaoming also took advantage of this time to take a good rest!

The results of the movie released in December are basically not worthy of being a competitor to "League of Assassins" in terms of box office results!

Although the unfortunate adventure of Raymond Snici reached a box office score of 30 million in the first release, the dismal performance in the later period only exceeded hundreds of millions of box office results after all!

The movie "Million Dollar Baby", which was released by Warner Pictures on the 15th, ended its premiere with a box office score of 170,000. As for other movies, Zhou Shaoming doesn't have any worries!

From the very beginning, Zhou Shaoming saw such unexpected box office results, with years of experience, the movie "League of Assassins" has locked the first place in the annual box office results!

It is already the beginning of December 20, Zhou Shaoming plans to hold a grand celebration banquet at the end of this year, for the rapid progress of the company's performance this year, Zhou Shaoming intends to treat the company's employees in this way!

Originally, Zhou Shaoming originally planned to hold an internal carnival night, but he didn't expect the results of the movie "League of Assassins"!

Let's start to make this carnival night bigger!

As the day approaches, Benjamin, who is in charge of such a character in the company, is constantly decorating the venue!

With the arrival of the 25th, this grand carnival night was held in the dazzling city hotel!

Among the invited were well-known actors from Hollywood. Movie star, movie star! For this carnival night, Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company held a very grand event!

The hall was full of stars, and for this banquet, Zhou Shaoming invited actors and superstars who had participated in the movies he had filmed before!

Like Hugh, who played Thomson in "The Fuse", his handsome face, came from the hall!

Wu Jing, the Chinese superstar, has been playing the villain Tony since "The Fuse". Slowly began to show his face in the North American film market!

Francois. Cruze and Omar. Nozomi, these two actors kept chatting at the banquet party, and they were the two leading actors who covered up "Can't Be Lifted". These two excellent performances left a deep impression on the audience!

For Zhou Shaoming's invitation, François. Cruset came from France. Meet this popular director, François. Cruze's heart is full of gratitude!

The actor Jim Carrey, due to Zhou Shaoming, has taken off the hat of "uncrowned king" in Hollywood. This dramatic Hollywood superstar also shined at this banquet!

"Zhou, the scale of this banquet is so grand! Look around. They are all superstar actors in Hollywood, and I feel a lot of pressure! Jim Carrey joked at Zhou Shaoming!

Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but shake his head and said, "In this, who else is more radiant than you!" ”

Kim Carrey pointed at the man who appeared with him and said, "That's him, his momentum has been very hot recently!" ”

Following the direction pointed by Jim Carrey, Zhou Shaoming glanced at it and saw Jude Law wearing a black suit and slowly entering the hall under the bright lights!

When "League of Assassins" swept the world, Jude Law, as one of the leading actors, was of course full of confidence at this banquet, although Jude Law was very young, but he was one of the bright superstars in Hollywood!

Although Jim Carrey starred in "V Venddetta" this year, overall, he is still not as popular as Jude Law this year!

In fact, Jim Carrey still has some regrets in his heart, this year for Jim Carrey, there is no movie like "League of Assassins" to give himself a satisfactory answer!

In Jim Carrey's eyes, even if François. Cruze is luckier than himself, after hearing that he played Zhou Shaoming's "Untouchable", although the box office results of this film are very average, but in terms of word-of-mouth, it has a high popularity, and it may win awards such as the Golden Globe Awards!

But this year, the luckiest one is Scarlett Johansson, who played the heroine in Zhou Shaoming's films three times in a row this year, and showed her profound acting skills in "League of Assassins", successfully became a global hit, and became the most watched actress in Hollywood this year!

A crimson evening skirt and a sexy figure all made the eyes of those present shine!

This year, there is no better luck than Scarlett Johansson, who has been favored by Zhou Shaoming in a row, and Scarlett Johansson, who is already red and purple, looks very dominant at this banquet!

Scarlett Johansson, who saw Morgan's seniors, said, "You're here! ”

Dressed in a cape, there are traces of time on his old face, and for Scarlett Johansson, who was still acting a while ago, Morgan couldn't help but smile: "You are beautiful today!" ”

Scarlett Johansson smiled and said, "Thank you! ”

Scarlett Johansson took Morgan's arm and entered the hall!

Avril Lavigne, the most ghostly superstar in the audience, she still can't sit still naughty this year. Avril Lavigne, who felt bored, sat down on the piano, soothed her mood, and played the piano slowly!

Music is Avril's life, in addition to music, there is Zhou Shaoming left, for this carnival night, Avril didn't expect to invite so many celebrities and aristocrats!

This made the employees of Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company suddenly become a lot darker, but in the eyes of more employees, they really want to get in touch with these stars so closely!

Even the employees of Supernova Entertainment Films and Television Company wanted to catch a glimpse of the celebrities' private parties during this carnival night!

David, who became an instant hit with "V Vendtta". He seemed very modest, and after coming to the banquet, he just chatted with Jin Carrey and others in private, and when he saw Zhou Shaoming celebrating, he did it alone!

Tesla, who used to be Zhou Shaoming's assistant and is still a well-known director, is better on the contrary, he can always see the director's demeanor in the crowd and talk with humor!

Zhou Shaoming stood next to Avril for a while. Avril Lavigne, who was focused for a long time, realized that Zhou Shaoming had come to her side, and said with a smile: "Zhou, you see that your appeal is so powerful. In the entertainment industry, it seems that there is no way not to give face! So many superstar actors came at once! ”

At this banquet, in addition to Hollywood's big-name superstars, there is also Wu Jing in China. Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat and others. There are also directors, as well as employees of Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company such as George, here, without identity, everyone gathers together to celebrate for a while!

This carnival dinner is obviously a party between the obvious, and it is also a large-scale celebration under Supernova Entertainment Film and Television! Blizzard and people from all walks of life also participated!

"Director Smith Chow has still become one of the most influential directors in Hollywood, and with the success of this year's carnival night, this Chinese director has become a director in Hollywood who dares not to underestimate him!" The Hollywood Reporter

Zhou Shaoming heard Avril's praise and said with a smile: "How can you be so attractive as a ghost spirit, you see that your black brother is looking at you again!" ”

Zhou Shaoming said and pointed to Omar. Xi, the character who played DISS in "Untouchable", was loved by the audience for his successful and humorous approach!

The corners of Avril's mouth pursed, and she said reluctantly: "You're kidding me again, you'll play the music by yourself later!" ”

Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Avril's joking appearance, his eyes kept blinking, and said: "I'm still good at playing cotton, if you play the piano, you have to invite you, a musician from the world, to play it to have a sensational effect!" ”

Avril frowned, listening to Zhou Shaoming's tone getting softer and softer, and couldn't help but snort!

With the attendance of the people invited to the venue, in addition to the super-popular superstars such as Jude Law, Jim Carrey, Scarlett Johansson, etc., there are also Morgan and other senior superstars in the dojo to cheer, and some of the newly famous Wu Jing, François. Cruzeoma. Nozomi and others were also present!

This grand banquet is full of grandeur, looking at the North American film and television companies, in addition to a few giant companies in the industry can hold such a large-scale banquet, and that film and television company has the power to invite so many Hollywood superstars!

Lionsgate? Hum! For the small Lionsgate film and television company in front of him, it is no longer the same scale as Supernova Entertainment Film and Television!

At the venue, the meeting was darkened, the colorful neon lights began to shine, as the host announced the start of the banquet, Avril lavigne performed the piano music affectionately on the stage, and at the beginning of the carnival night, there was this world-class musician, playing music for the stars, guests, and employees of the audience!

When everyone in the audience was quietly listening to Avril's music, Scarlett Johansson in the center of the audience began to feel a little jealous in her heart, and snorted, although Avril has been with Zhou Shaoming longer than herself, but Avril has never had a good acting talent in movies!

can only engage in music, unlike herself, not only has reached a certain level in film and television, but also has great potential in music, for Avril Lavril to stick to Zhou Shaoming all day long, Scarlett Johansson has a strong jealousy in her heart!

Next year, I'm going to start focusing most of my energy on music! Scarlett Johansson said and began to affirm her thoughts!

Although Avril became a supporting role in this year's "Untouchable", Avril, who has always had no talent in acting, still seems a little lacking in confidence when she and Scarlett Johansson become rivals!

Unlike Scarlett Johansson, who won the audience's attention even more in this film. Although Scarlett Johansson was only playing the role of the female secretary of Philip who played the protagonist at that time, the charm of success did not make the audience forget!

When "League of Assassins" was popular, the audience was still more compared with Scarlett Johansson in the movie "Untouchable", although they all took the sexy route!

In comparison, Scarlett Johansson in League of Assassins is superior!

Avril's wonderful piano performance kicked off the carnival night, and at the banquet, everyone drank champagne and all kinds of barbecue fruit plates, and kept coming up!

After the banquet begins. Aziva, the screenwriter boss of Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company, came late, and after seeing Zhou Shaoming, he couldn't help but say: "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

Zhou Shaoming watched the banquet start and said, "You came at the right time!" Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but look at the young man beside Aziva for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Bell? ”

Christian. When Bell heard that the famous Hollywood director in front of him could call his name, he couldn't help but feel flattered, and said respectfully: "Yes." Hello Director Smith Chow! ”

Zhou Shaoming couldn't help laughing and said: "What a big director, now that we are in a carnival night, don't be too restrained." Just call me Zhou! ”

Zhou Shaoming didn't expect Christian. Bell will come with Aziva!

For Christian. Bell, Zhou Shaoming has also heard that when the movie "Detective" was slowly finalized in Zhou Shaoming's mind, Zhou Shaoming, who had plans to start filming this movie. I started to pay attention to the actors in Hollywood!

And Christian. Zhou Shaoming has also seen Bell's information!

This year Christian. Bale has achieved high box office results and reputation in North America with a "Mechanic". Bell is conscientious!

Zhou Shaoming remembers Christian. Bell began to become well-known in the North American market in 2000 when he filmed "American Psycho". It became a turning point in the acting career!

Since his debut in his teens, Bell has always maintained a low-key and humble attitude, and he is known in the circle for his dedication. The most noteworthy thing is his professionalism in constantly changing his body shape in order to create the character. It can be said that losing weight, extracting teeth, and even breaking a few ribs for the role is nothing new, but Bell is probably the only one who can ravage his body like an ascetic and constantly torture the audience's visual nerves. He was even jokingly called "a monster who can control his weight freely"!

When Bale began filming "The Mechanic" in '03, the role was required to "look as if he hadn't slept for a year", which was his most dramatic reinvention experience. Relying on hunger and a lot of physical exertion (non-muscle training), Bell lost 63 pounds (57 pounds) in 2 weeks, and he had planned to lose 100 pounds, but doctors warned him that if he continued to lose weight, he could die young, and Bell stopped his terrible weight loss training.

Zhou Shaoming has also heard of these things, and for the appearance of Bell, Zhou Shaoming still has a little running god in his thoughts!

Bell was obviously a little nervous when he saw Zhou Shaoming, and when he saw Zhou Shaoming mention the "Mechanic" that was just released this year, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I have been debuting for more than ten years, and I always play the role of fighting and killing, and others say that I will only play those cold-blooded roles!" ”

When Zhou Shaoming heard Bell's words, he couldn't help but wrinkle the media and said, "What? You don't like a character like you? ”

Bell felt that Zhou Shaoming's expression had changed a little, and he didn't know what he said wrong, so he denied: "No, I seem to be interested in this kind of film!" ”

Zhou Shaoming's eyes lit up, and he said tactfully: "If the next movie of mine also needs you to play a role similar to a policeman, I don't know if you are interested!" ”

Regarding Zhou Shaoming's words, when Bell heard it, he was stunned on the spot, and the demented Bell didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and asked in disbelief: "What you said is true?" ”

Zhou Shaoming still hadn't decided, and couldn't help adding: "It's just that I have such an idea!" ”

Bell said excitedly: "Of course I do! ”

Bell has always been a very low-key person in Hollywood, but in the face of Zhou Shaoming's unintentional invitation, Bell shouted excitedly: "Of course I do!" After this sentence was shouted, I couldn't help but attract the attention of the surrounding crowd!

For a while, Bell realized that his voice was a little louder, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed!

In 2000, Entertainment Weekly called him one of the "most creative people in the entertainment industry", and even Premiere magazine praised him as one of the "hottest and outstanding people under 30".

And Bell doesn't like to deal with people much in and out of the play, and is completely immersed in his role, because Bell believes that there is a reward for paying!

Zhou Shaoming admired Bell's spirit very much, and shouted when he saw Bell's gaffe! Zhou Shaoming couldn't help laughing, nodded and said, "If I really have such a film, I will talk to you about this movie again!" ”

Opportunity is often a moment, not to mention that in such a grand carnival night, whether it is obvious or the director, there are opportunities buried everywhere, and Bell was lucky to be favored by Zhou Shaoming again! (To be continued......)
