The global box office charts for the new week are in Lin Yuquan and Wendelin. Fan. When De La Anan discussed the specific film concept of "Heartbeat", it was already released, which made Summit Entertainment and Lin Yuquan's supporters all breathe a sigh of relief, and the smile was that "Hurricane Rescue", which was released in the sixth week of release, maintained a good box office trend under the impact of new films, and the North American box office successfully exceeded the 300 million mark, with a total of 306 million US dollars, and the mainland box office reached 313 million yuan after another 16.4 million, while the global box office received another 35.52 million US dollars in a single week with a 41% decline. The global box office has accumulated 786 million US dollars, which is only one step away from breaking the 800 million mark.

Yes, there is only one step away, if after the box office came out last week, because of the uncertainty about the box office trend of "Hurricane Rescue", people generally believed that "Hurricane Rescue" had a great possibility of hitting the $800 million global box office, then now, with "Hurricane Rescue" as always maintaining a steady box office downward trend, almost everyone can be sure that it is only a matter of time before "Hurricane Rescue" breaks through the $800 million box office.

Lin Yuquan's good mood because of winning the film and television adaptation rights of "Heartbeat" and the preparation of the two films produced smoothly has become more and more happy, the only trouble is that he will continue to be busy for a long time in the future, and maybe he can only rest during the Spring Festival.

And when the preparation of the two production films was almost completed, Lin Yuquan also began to arrange for his return to China at this time.

"Oh, boss, you're going back home. Approximately. I'll ask Tang Qian to drive to pick you up. "The voice of Ding Wei came from the phone.

"Two days to go. It should be six o'clock in the afternoon of the 18th in China, and then there is no need for Tang Qian to pick me up, I will go back by myself, and you will arrange the annual summary meeting on the morning of the 19th and arrange the relevant work. Lin Yuquan sat at the desk and said.

"Okay, boss." Ding Wei nodded.

"Sister Chang, all the artists in the company will return to Kyoto around the 24th, hmm. You arrange the opening ceremony of Supernova on the 25th, according to what I said before, it doesn't have to be so grand, just make it a celebratory pie, so that everyone can get to know each other, okay. ”

In a villa on the outskirts of Kyoto, a figure looks out the window at the bright sky outside, a man of medium stature, slightly bloated, and no longer young. The warm sunlight shone on his body, but his back exuded a noticeably heavy breath.

"Kai Ge. Don't hesitate, your script is good enough, and if you think I'm saying this because I'm your wife, don't you just need to find an authority to prove it? A gentle and feminine voice sounded behind the man, revealing a classically delicate face.

"I'm worried about making Yuquan embarrassed, if I say I want to shoot, even if the script doesn't work, he may not be able to refuse." The man turned around and sighed and said, who is it not Chen Kaige?

"If you don't look for him, then who are you looking for, looking for Han Shanping and Wang Zhonglei? Of course, they will invest in your films, but they just want to use your influence to achieve the goal of box office hits, and they won't give you a real build at all, only Lin Yuquan can, look at the movies made by Shuguang Films, although they don't say classics, but each one is wonderful, they are real heart-making movies, and what you need most now is not a wonderful movie that is recognized by the public? Chen Hong said sharply.

"I know, I know." Chen Kaige muttered to himself, yes, he needs a good enough movie.

After the success of Li Yu's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", almost all Chinese directors at that time realized that if they wanted to break into the international film industry from the Chinese film industry, they had to shoot martial arts films and kung fu films, and in fact, this was indeed the right way. And Lin Yuquan relied on "Huo Yuanjia", "Red Cliff", and "Painted Skin" to become an international director.

Of course, Lin Yuquan was a later story, which really made him start to devote himself to the filming of "Wuji", although there is also a relationship with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but the most direct stimulus is because of Zhang Yi's "Hero" launched in 2002, that year's "Hero" was brilliant, and after its release, it created many firsts in Chinese film history, and the mainland box office of 250 million broke the historical record, becoming the highest box office of Chinese films in the mainland, and it was also the first film with a mainland box office exceeding 200 million. At the same time, for the first time, the annual box office of domestic films beat Hollywood films in their home country after the introduction of Hollywood films. It was the first Chinese film to top the weekly box office in North America, and the first Chinese film to win the first week box office in Japan and South Korea.

In the face of such a shape, as Zhang Yimou's old classmate and old opponent, he has been silent for several years, and he is naturally not willing to lag behind in preparing to shoot the fantasy blockbuster "Wuji", but unfortunately, although it is no worse than Zhang Yimou's "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides" in terms of picture beauty, it is unsatisfactory in many aspects such as plot and fighting scenes.

In fact, as early as after the filming was completed, he already clearly knew that his movie did not surpass "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides" at all, and the hype and show behind it were not his original intention, but he did not expect that the film's evaluation among film critics and the public would be so bad as Cheng Dù.

Although he didn't really spend $40 million to shoot "Wu Ji" as advertised, but only spent $15 million, strictly speaking, "Wu Ji" did not make investors lose money, but a good movie is a good movie, a bad movie is a bad movie, and the box office and profits can never change this.

He was once disheartened and wanted to give up making movies, but his self-esteem did not allow him to end his career as a director with such a failure, he wanted to prove himself, yes, he would not make movies again one day, but he would only quit laughing at the sky.

In order to achieve this, he has been silently preparing for the past two years, this time he did not make a big splash like "Wu Ji", but always remained unknown, and finally, after two years and countless days and nights, his script is now finally completed.

In fact, he also knew that it was best to find Lin Yuquan and Shuguang Film Investment, and Lin Yuquan had said many times before that he would cooperate after having a script, but he was a little worried, afraid that Lin Yuquan would be dissatisfied with the script but embarrassed to refuse him, afraid that he would drag Lin Yuquan down in the end.

"Kaige, don't hesitate, I think you also want to hear Yuquan's evaluation of your script." Chen Hong came behind Chen Kaige and persuaded him.

"Whew", Chen Kaige let out a long breath, and made up his mind in his eyes, yes, he needs to know Lin Yuquan's evaluation of his script.

"Okay, I'll fight."

The moon stars are scarce, and the Beverly Mountains under the night sky are exceptionally beautiful.

and Wendeline. Fan. De La Anan met, Lin Yuquan started to be busy as soon as he got home, and after a series of assignments, he just came outside to catch his breath, but the phone rang.

At this point in time, has Yifei finished filming? Lin Yuquan showed a slight smile on his face, and immediately took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, and when he saw the caller ID, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he answered the phone with a smile.

"Yuquan, I'm Chen Kaige, didn't disturb your rest, right?" The familiar voice of Chen Kaige came from the phone.

"No, senior, it's only nine o'clock in the evening on my side, so I won't rest so early." Lin Yuquan chuckled.

"Oh, you're still in Los Angeles, when are you going to be back?" Chen Kaige asked.

"Yes, in Los Angeles, I'll be back in two days, and on the evening of the 18th if it's Kyoto time." Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"Alright, we'll find time for tea when you get back." Chen Kaige, who had made up his mind, changed his mind temporarily after learning that Lin Yuquan would be back soon.

Lin Yuquan smiled dumbly, he knew that Chen Kaige must have something to find him when he called, although Chen Kaige should take the initiative to say this kind of thing, but when he heard Chen Kaige say that he would go back and tell him again, he was anxious for him in his heart, so he joked: "Senior, is there anything I can help with?" If so, you should sue me now, or I won't be able to sleep for the next two days. ”

Chen Kaige seemed to hesitate a little, was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "I want you to help me check the script." ”

"Script? Oh, senior, have you finally written your script? Great, I've been looking forward to it for a long time. Lin Yuquan is happy for Chen Kaige from the bottom of his heart, since "Wuji" suffered a word-of-mouth failure, he has not come up with his new work to prove himself and fight back: "In this way, senior, you send me the script to my email, and I will call you after I read it. ”

Chen Kaige couldn't cry or laugh, although he hadn't directed for two years, he couldn't even afford to make an international call, and he also needed to explain his ideas to Lin Yuquan before sending the script.

"Don't worry, although international calls are expensive, I can still afford to call you for a while, I will send you the script later, I will tell you about my script first, I want to shoot "Mei Lanfang".

"Wait, "Mei Lanfang", senior, you said you want to shoot "Mei Lanfang"?" Lin Yuquan interrupted Chen Kaige in a surprised tone, Chen Kaige's pinnacle work is undoubtedly "Farewell My Concubine", and the title of "Mei Lanfang" makes it difficult not to connect the two. (To be continued......) R527
