With a gentle breeze, the morning glow is a rare sight in Kyoto in December. ￥f，

After Lin Yuquan, who opened the window, saw this scene, he hurriedly took a few photos with his camera, and then looked at this beautiful picture happily.

He and the others arrived in Kyoto at four o'clock in the morning, and then separated, he and Jiang Yan returned to Ziyu Villa, Xu Jinglei and Zhu Yawen returned to their homes, he didn't need to adjust the jet lag, he didn't rest, just squinted slightly for a while and got up.

After appreciating the morning glow, Lin Yuquan simply washed up, put on his practice clothes, and slowly went downstairs to the courtyard.

After practicing for almost half an hour, Lin Yuquan was about to take a bath when the bell at the gate suddenly rang.

At this time, of course, it will not be an outsider who comes to his house, Lin Yuquan smiled, stopped practicing boxing, opened the door, and suddenly a delicate face jumped into his eyes.

"Brother Yuquan, morning!" As soon as he saw Lin Yuquan who opened the door, Liu Yifei's face immediately shone with happiness.

"Morning, Yifei! What about Swallow and Dandan? Lin Yuquan smiled slightly, although the relationship between the two has not yet been formalized, but the two who understand each other's intentions have taken a big step forward compared to before.

"Sister Yanzi and Sister Dandan need to adjust to the jet lag, so they are resting!" Liu Yifei smiled shallowly.

"Oh!" Lin Yuquan nodded: "Have you eaten breakfast?" ”

"Not yet, Brother Yuquan, you don't know the situation we have there." Liu Yifei showed a pitiful expression.

Of course, Lin Yuquan knew that the three girls were all the kind of women who were not good at cooking, and they usually ate outside.

"Wait a minute. I took a shower and changed my clothes. Then we go out and buy materials. In the morning, I'll come back and cook the noodles, okay? ”

"Hmm." Liu Yifei nodded.

After a while, Lin Yuquan took a shower and changed his clothes, and then drove Liu Yifei out.

"Brother Yuquan, has the weekly box office come out in Europe and the United States?" Liu Yifei asked crisply, after getting off the plane in the early morning, Lin Yuquan turned on his mobile phone and showed the three of them the box office of the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan sent by Ding Value. At that time, the weekly box office in Europe and the United States had not yet come out.

"Well, I only received the text message in the morning, specifically, you can see for yourself." Lin Yuquan handed his mobile phone to Liu Yifei.

"Wow, 76.45 million US dollars in North America, 6.16 million pounds in the United Kingdom, about 9.3 million US dollars, 1.89 million people in France, about 19 million US dollars, plus domestic, the global box office has reached 233 million US dollars. Wow, Brother Rainspring. You're amazing. Liu Yifei exclaimed, looking at Lin Yuquan's eyes with infinite admiration.

"It's alright!" Lin Yuquan smiled slightly, he was also very satisfied with the box office of "Hurricane Rescue" now, but there was also a trace of helplessness, in terms of movie quality, in fact, "Hurricane Rescue" is not higher than "Red Cliff" and "Painted Skin", but the disparity between the two box office strongly illustrates a problem, and now the acceptance of Hollywood movies in the world is indeed much higher than that of Chinese films.

In fact, it is not only Chinese-language films, but also around the world, speaking of which, in addition to Hollywood, among the films shot in non-English languages around the world, Chinese-language films are currently the highest-grossing, according to a box office statistics he saw this year, as of now, such non-English top-10 movies, of which the two highest-grossing films are his "Painted Skin" and "Red Cliff", with a box office of $461 million and $413 million respectively, followed by Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away" $274 million, Hayao Miyazaki's "Howl's Moving Castle" is $231 million, Italy's "Life is Beautiful" is $229 million, Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is $213 million, Zhang Yi's "Hero" is $177 million, the French romantic comedy film "Angel Amelie" is $173 million, his own "Huo Yuanjia" is $171 million, and Hayao Miyazaki's "Princess Mononoke" is $159 million.

Ten films, he and Miyazaki each accounted for three, Li Yu and Zhang Yi each one, France and Italy each one, in this regard, there are five Chinese films, it can be said that Lin Yuquan has stood at the peak of non-Hollywood film directors, and the world acceptance of Chinese films is much higher than that of local films in Japan, France, Italy and other countries, after all, these five Chinese films with high box office, almost all of their box office comes from overseas, and the local contribution rate is minimal.

In addition to the local box office contribution rate of "Angel Amelie" (4.9%) and "Life is Beautiful" (13.7%), Miyazaki's films are too dependent on the local box office, "Spirited Away" 83.6%, "Howl's Moving Castle" 82.6%, and "Princess Mononoke" as high as 93%, it can be said that Miyazaki's movie box office is entirely due to the box office capacity of Japan, which is the second largest box office market in the world, and the overseas box office results are very limited.

Of course, with the continuous and rapid rise of the total box office of domestic annual films, a large number of Chinese high-box office movies will emerge in the future, up to now, the total box office of domestic films this year has exceeded 4 billion, compared to the box office of 1 billion in 02 and 03, quadrupled, according to such a box office growth rate, maybe 2-3 years later, the domestic box office will exceed 10 billion, 5-6 years later, the domestic box office market will exceed 20 billion, and there will be many domestic films reaching a box office of 500 million or even 1 billion.

However, just like the current situation of Japanese films, if domestic films can't find a breakthrough and just develop step by step, they can only be in their own one-third of an acre.

As for how to break through, it is actually very simple, why Hollywood movies can run rampant in the world, the reasons may be diverse, but the extreme visual effects of the high investment in creating zào are definitely the most direct reasons, because the visual effects are intuitively felt by everyone, his "Painted Skin" and "Red Cliff" have proved this very well, and domestic films want to rise, in addition to the sincerity of making zuò movies, not stingy investment is also the key.

"By the way, Yifei, aren't you going home to have a look?" Lin Yuquan did not talk about this slightly heavy topic. There is no point in shouting empty slogans. There are some things that need to be done with practical actions.

"Yes. I'll go back later, I'm going to shoot "Liao Zhaiqi Girl" in a few days, and Brother Yuquan, you're going back to Los Angeles immediately after participating in the Golden Horse Awards, so I'm going to stay at home with my mother these days. Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"Well, that's right, shoot well." Lin Yuquan said with a smile that "Liao Zhaiqi Woman" will start filming on December 16 as a TV series produced by Shuguang Film Company. The young actors and actresses in the Yuquan family will play in it as long as they don't have a role.

After breakfast, Liu Yifei went home, and as before, after the news report of the movie box office, Lin Yuquan's phone was busy again, and the text messages and phone calls almost never stopped, which made him quite helpless, but this is a very normal human condition, and he can only take the trouble to reply to friends' text messages or greet and thank you on the phone.

Because tomorrow night is the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, Lin Yuquan has no time to stay at home at all. Soon he went out with his luggage, and he first had to join the team of "Painted Skin" to participate in the Golden Horse Awards. Let's go to Taipei together.

"Hey, big director, long time no see, congratulations on your movie being another box office hit." In a hotel near the airport, as soon as Lin Yuquan entered the box, Zhou Xun said with a smile.

"Director Lin, congratulations on your movie being a big hit at the box office." Chen Kun, Hao Lei, Xi Zhongwen, Zhang Shuping, Zhao Jiping and others all stood up and congratulated respectfully, facing Lin Yuquan's current status, everyone inevitably felt restrained.

This is different from Zhou Xun, because Zhou Xun herself is an artist of the Yuquan family, and she has known Lin Yuquan for a long time, she usually has a good relationship, and she also knows Lin Yuquan's temperament, so she does not have much pressure when she greets Lin Yuquan, and she seems extremely relaxed and casual.

"Thank you!" Lin Yuquan said with a smile, and handed over the luggage to Tang Qian, at this time, in the box, in addition to him, Chen Kun, Zhou Xun and other crew creators, there are also their agents or agent assistants, as well as Xiao Ran and Tang Qian of Shuguang Film Company, speaking of which, although Tang Qian is nominally his assistant, but after he went to Hollywood to develop, she is now more of a person to deal with things for Ding Value.

After sitting down next to Zhou Xun, Lin Yuquan looked at Zhou Xun and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, how did you become a black African?" ”

Chen Kun and the others on the side had a smile on their faces, when they first saw Zhou Xun, they were also taken aback, although the original Zhou Xun was not beautiful and the skin was not good, but at least it was not bad, but right now, the skin on the face looked dark and rough.

"What do you say? Shooting in the desert in Xinjiang for more than 10 hours a day, after a month, can it not become like this? Zhou Xun said disapprovingly, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Actually, I'm okay, Ning Hao, Xu Zheng and Huang Bo are much worse than me, especially Ning Hao, he is the director, unlike us who take turns filming, so it's the worst." ”

"Really? Is there any photo or something, show me. Lin Yuquan said with a smile in his eyes, although Ning Hao was also shortlisted for many awards at this year's Golden Horse Awards, but because of being a director and the long way back and forth, he really couldn't leave during filming, so he could only miss the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, so he didn't go back to Kyoto with Zhou Xun.

"Of course." Zhou Xun smiled slightly, took out his mobile phone and opened the album and handed it to him.

At a glance, Lin Yuquan couldn't help laughing, almost all the people in the photo had turned into black-faced gods, and they were covered with wind and sand, looking like refugees.

"I'm not wrong!" Zhou Xun said with a smile beside him.

"No, it's miserable." Lin Yuquan nodded with a smile, and after looking through a few photos, he returned the phone to Zhou Xun: "The shooting conditions in this desert are really difficult enough, how did you agree to act in the first place, was it fooled by Brother Hao." ”

"Oh, no, it's because the conditions are difficult enough that I can win the movie role without any competitive pressure, after all, Qingqing and Yuanyuan are standard goddesses, if they shoot in the desert for a month or two, isn't it self-disfigurement? And I don't care, I don't have the burden of that. Zhou Xun smiled.

"Yes." Lin Yuquan said with a smile that Jiang Qingqing and Gao Yuanyuan are indeed unlikely to take on the roles filmed under such difficult conditions, which is why Ning Hao said that it was not easy to appear in his movie, but Zhou Xun was an exception, she was a pure actor. It's not that pretty, though. But her superb acting skills and tireless performance attitude have made her the most outstanding young actress in China today.

After chatting with Zhou Xun for a few sentences. Lin Yuquan asked Hao Lei with a smile: "Hao Lei, what are you filming recently?" ”

"War Eyes", a military-themed TV series." Hao Lei said respectfully and gratefully, because of her stunning performance in "Painted Skin", she suddenly became a highly sought-after popular actor. It was Lin Yuquan who changed the fate of her life.

"Wow, yes, Kun, what about you?"

"I'm filming a TV series adapted from the movie "New Love" directed by Er Dongsheng." Chen Kun smiled like a sunny smile.

"Er Dongsheng actually made a TV series, and it was adapted from "New Love". Lin Yuquan's eyes showed a hint of surprise, "New Love" is one of Er Dongsheng's masterpieces, this low-budget literary film starring Liu Qingyun, Yuan Yuyi, Feng Baobao and Carina Lau not only won more than 30 million box office that year, but also won seven awards including Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Actress at the 13th Hong Kong Film Awards at the end of the year, becoming the biggest winner, this film is one of the most representative films in Hong Kong in the nineties of the last century. It's not so easy to adapt such a classic movie into a TV series, after all, the length of a movie is generally 90-120 minutes. If you expand into a TV series of dozens of episodes, you will inevitably have to add a lot of content, and it is easy to ruin the original flavor of the movie.

"Who are the main actors?" Lin Yuquan asked with interest.

"I play the role of Ajie, Hong Kong female singer Xue Kaiqi plays Amin, Yu Anan plays Li Zaiai"

Amid the small talk, the waiter also began to serve the food, and after lunch, everyone immediately headed to the airport.

When the flight arrived at Taipei Taoyuan Airport, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and as soon as they got out of the airport, everyone went to the hotel where they stayed non-stop

"Oh, the coffee is good, the location is good, Wei Zai, you really know how to pick a place." Putting the coffee cup on the wooden table in the original wood tone, listening to the lazy jazz music, the melodious sound of the small trumpet, and the smooth saxophone style, Lin Yuquan looked at the beautiful river scenery in the dusk, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Of course, this bay café surrounded by the gurgling natural river view is a café that I often come to Taipei, while drinking coffee, while looking at the river view through a whole floor-to-ceiling window, the mood is very relaxed, and there is also a café in Montmartre is also very good, it is located in Yangmingshan A beautiful mountain view café, with a very beautiful mountain natural scenery, when you have time, I will take you there." The Wei Zai who spoke was none other than Liang Chaowei, if others saw Liang Chaowei's current appearance, they would definitely be shocked, because Liang Chaowei in private was notoriously taciturn.

And the film of the two is the biggest competitor at this Golden Horse Awards, and now they are talking happily together, which is also very interesting.

"I definitely don't have time this time, and I'm going back to Los Angeles right away after attending the Golden Horse Awards tomorrow night." Lin Yuquan shook his head with a smile and said, not long after checking into the hotel, he received a call from Liang Chaowei, and while congratulating him, he asked him if he had arrived in Taipei, whether he had time to drink coffee and have dinner together, and he was thinking about how to arrange it in the evening? There is no one who disagrees at the moment.

Because he knew Liang Chaowei's withdrawn character, he didn't let Zhou Xun come with him, of course, with Chen Kun and others, he didn't have to worry about Zhou Xun being lonely at night or something.

"In such a hurry?" Liang Chaowei said in surprise.

"Hmm." Lin Yuquan nodded: "I just finished filming the movie some time ago, and I was immediately busy with the promotion and release of "Hurricane Rescue", and the later stage of the movie has not yet started!" ”

"Is it the movie "Wild Story"?" Liang Chaowei asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

"That's right, I didn't expect you to know when you started paying attention to the news reports in this area." Lin Yuquan had a smile in his eyes.

"Your recent news is so hot, even if I don't deliberately pay attention to these, it's hard to think about it, not to mention that I also specially bought the novel "Wild Story" to see, it is really wonderful, when it will be released, I will definitely cheer for it." Liang Chaowei said with a smile, at first, when he saw how good "The Wild Story" was in the report, he was skeptical, but after reading the novel, he suddenly sank.

"Oh, it's not easy to get Wei Zai's praise, it's a pity that I didn't record it just now, otherwise it would be very valuable." Lin Yuquan exaggerated.

Liang Chaowei shook his head helplessly, and after taking a sip of coffee, he suddenly said in a very flat tone: "I'm about to get married." ”

"Get married." Lin Yuquan hurriedly looked at Liang Chaowei: "Sister Jialing?" ”

"What do you say? Who else but her? Liang Chaowei gave him an angry look.

"Oh, congratulations, Wei Zai, after nearly 20 years of long-distance love, I finally entered the marriage hall, it's not easy!" Lin Yuquan sighed and said, yes, it's not easy, twenty years, which is full of too many ups and downs, how many people can stick to the same and finally wait for the victory of the long-distance love run? What's more, in the middle, there is too much negative news about Liu Jialing, one will be with Liu Luanxiong, the other will be with Guo Taiming, if you are someone else, I am afraid that the relationship will have ended a long time ago, and it is rare that Liang Chaowei has been able to stick to it so far.

"Yes, it's not easy, in fact, we've been planning for several years, but we haven't been able to squeeze out time, she and I are very busy with work, and when we are free, the time is not right." Liang Chaowei said with a smile.

"That's a real problem." Lin Yuquan nodded clearly, entertainers are like this, maybe they will get busy when they will get busy, and even if the two of them deliberately make time for marriage, many of their friends are also stars in the entertainment industry, and they also don't know when they will have time to participate in the wedding, so it is particularly troublesome: "Has the time and place been set?" I'd better schedule a time to attend your wedding when the time comes. ”

"The time has been set, July 21 next year, the location is not, I haven't found a completely satisfactory place, but one thing is certain, the wedding will be held abroad." Liang Chaowei said, as Lin Yuquan said, because many of his friends are showbiz people, he and Liu Jialing set the wedding date early, so that everyone could be notified in advance to keep a good schedule.

"I'm afraid that the wedding will be held in Hong Kong and will be disturbed by crazy reporters!" Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"Oh, that's right." Liang Chaowei also smiled.

"Okay, I'll leave a good time in advance, and when the location is set, let me know, I'll prepare early, and try to give you a big surprise." Lin Yuquan said.

"Then I'm looking forward to your surprise, and I'll let you know as soon as the location is chosen. By the way, I must keep my marriage a secret, if the reporters know about it, it will be troublesome. Liang Chaowei said seriously.

"Understand, I won't sue anyone, don't worry." Lin Yuquan smiled slightly, got up and said, "Okay, let's go eat!" (To be continued......)
