After getting the film and television adaptation rights of "Charlotte's Troubles", Chen Jing wanted to continue to polish her script.

But soon, a phone call from Cheng Long brought Chen Jing into the promotional journey of "Zodiac".

And the promotional journey of "Zodiac" is not only domestic, but also abroad.

Cheng Long's influence abroad, Chen Jing had heard more or less in his previous life, but he was still a little surprised to see it with his own eyes.

On December 6, Chen Jing followed the crew of "Zodiac" to Cannes, France.

When Cheng Long first appeared, he instantly attracted many fans who heard the news.

“jackie！”

“jackie！”

“jackie！”

……

Cheng Long also responded enthusiastically and shook hands with all fans to take pictures.

After being busy for a while, Cheng Long came to the press conference and began to officially promote "Zodiac".

The protagonist of the press conference was only Cheng Long, and everyone else was a foil, and the reporters who came to the press conference didn't know Chen Jing and them at all, let alone ask questions.

Only Cheng Long will let Chen Jing and the others say a few words, Chen Jing is okay, because he learned English when he was a trainee, and his spoken English is okay, and it is difficult for others to even speak.

In the 48 hours in Cannes, Chen Jing and others followed Cheng Long.

Two days later, the crew flew to Moscow.

followed by the United States, it is said that this is the first time that a domestic film has gone deep into the hinterland of the United States to do publicity, and it has been warmly welcomed, which shows Cheng Long's popularity in the United States.

After that, the crew of "Zodiac" flew to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Singapore.

When I returned to China, it was December 12, 2012, which was also the day of the premiere of "Zodiac" in China.

The premiere of "Zodiac" was naturally grand and extraordinary, the scene was very lively, and there were many stars cheering on the scene.

Host Sa Beining, Lang Lang, Wang Lihong, Li Yundi, Liu Tianxian, etc., Wang Zhonglei also attended.

"I heard that Wanda has asked you to cooperate?" Wang Zhonglei looked at Chen Jing and asked.

"Yes, guest appearance in the movie version of "Imperial Capital Love Story"." Chen Jing nodded.

"It's not like there's "Monster Hunt", it's a big production." Wang Zhonglei said with a smile.

Chen Jing heard this, "It's still talking, and the cooperation hasn't been finalized yet." ”

It is not surprising that Wang Zhonglei asked, after all, Huayi Brothers has always advertised itself as the first in the industry, but Wanda is menacing and has abundant capital.

No one in the circle will not pay attention to it, especially the Huayi Brothers, who are the leading private enterprises.

"If you have money in the future, you might as well invest in our Huayi films, after all, you are also a shareholder of the company." Wang Zhonglei said with a smile.

"I thought Huayi should have no shortage of investment." Chen Jing smiled, "Of course, if you really need it, no problem." ”

It seems that Chen Jing's desire to invest 30 million in "Monster Hunt" has leaked out.

This has not yet been determined to invest, it has already been known, and there are really no secrets in the circle.

"Haha......" Wang Zhonglei laughed when he heard this, and then patted Chen Jing's shoulder and said, "Young people are really newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers!" ”

Chen Jing smiled when she heard this, but didn't speak, it seems that Huayi is not very optimistic about "Monster Hunt"!

After the premiere, Chen Jing continued to follow the crew to promote.

Cheng Long always emphasized that this was his last movie to fight for his life, and he would not work so hard in the future, after all, he was old.

At the same time, on the second day of the premiere, Cheng Long started charity again, and launched a love activity on Weibo to provide relief to water-scarce and poor areas.

In the end, in this charity event, LeTV and Samsung will jointly share millions of donations, and entrust the Chenglong Charity Foundation to operate the specific matters of relief.

Chen Jing naturally forwarded this love activity, and donated 200,000 yuan to participate in this love aid.

When Cheng Long learned about it, he patted Chen Jing on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up, "Good job!" ”

In the subsequent publicity, Cheng Long also made excessive remarks from time to time, and then was taken out of context by the media, which caused heated discussions, and the exposure rate suddenly increased.

All of this is naturally for "Zodiac", which will be released nationwide on December 20.

Also released in the same week were two films starring Huang Jiao, "Blood Drops" and "The Great Demon Capital".

"Blood Drops" is directed by Liu Weiqiang, in addition to Huang Jiaozhu, Soft Shocking, Yu Wenle, Li Yuchun, and Jing Boran all participated, which can be called a star lineup.

"The Great Demon Capital" is also not bad, directed by Wang Jin, as well as Hong Jinbao, Zhou Runfa, Wu Zhenyu, Yuan Quan, and the stars are also helping.

As for the two films "Snow Mountain" and "Peach Branch", they are three no products, and they are basically no threat.

However, the biggest threat to "Zodiac" is not "Blood Drops" and "The Great Demon Capital", which were released in the same week.

It's "People in Embarrassment", which was released last week, and the box office of this small-budget comedy is crazy!

It received a box office of 306.5 million yuan in the first week, breaking the first-week box office record of 298.2 million domestic films held by "Painted Skin 2", and also bringing the first-week box office of domestic films into the era of 300 million.

The box office of 306.5 million yuan also ranked third in the first week of mainland film history, second only to the 467 million of "Titanic 3D" and the 401 million of "Transformers 3".

At the same time, the reputation of "Thai Embarrassment" is also very good, which also made its film schedule rise to 43.2% in the second week, ranking first in the film schedule!

And the film schedule of "Zodiac", which was released in the first week, was only 19.9%!

This has to be said to be a big disadvantage for "Zodiac".

It's no wonder that Cheng Long is so publicity.

The elves are looking forward to "Zodiac", and everyone is looking forward to seeing the idol again.

Attack on the macro giant: There are idols involved, and they must be supported!

Brilliant Star: I don't know if Cheng Long can help his brother break his box office record!

Why is there a clear wind: Now the box office record of the idol is 750 million yuan for "Painted Skin 2", and this "Zodiac" should be hopeful!

{Tongtian Sect Master is a good person}: I hope Cheng Long won't drag his brother back.

Crazy in love: I should let my brother star, so the box office will definitely be better!

Book friend 20200418015326021: This, do you know who Cheng Long is?

Mingkit Ming: Cheng Long? Haven't seen his movie! Just play a good assist!

……

The elves are mainly students, especially girls, so the painting style of the message is a little crooked, Chen Jing was taken aback after seeing it, and didn't dare to tell Cheng Long.

In addition, the media is also very interested in whether "Zodiac" can snipe "Thai Embarrassment".

"Thai Embarrassment" exploded without warning, and although Cheng Long's movies have not won the box office championship for many years, the box office of each one will not be bad, and it has always belonged to the first group.

Therefore, the collision of the two box office blockbusters also makes this week's box office rankings very interesting.

Soon, a week passed, and the weekly box office rankings in the mainland were newly released!

"The box office of "Zodiac" exploded in the first week, winning 270 million yuan!" --- film 1905

"The box office of "Thai Embarrassment" did not fall but rose in the second week, and it won the first place in the weekly box office list in the mainland for a strong rear!" --- reported by Sohu Entertainment

"The box office of "Thai Embarrassment" was 379 million in the second week, and the box office in two weeks was nearly 700 million!" --- Wangyi Entertainment

……

In the face of "Thai Embarrassment", which frantically won 379 million yuan the next week, the 270 million yuan of "Zodiac" can only bow down.

"Zodiac" has 270 million in the first week, and its performance is already very good, ranking third in the box office list of domestic films in the first week, second only to "Thai Embarrassment" and "Painted Skin 2".

But the box office of "Thai Embarrassment" was 379 million in the second week, and the box office was close to 700 million in two weeks, which directly shocked the circle stupidly, and this box office is too crazy!

In just 2 weeks of box office, "Thai Embarrassment" has risen to the third place in the 2012 mainland film box office list, second only to "Titanic 3D" with 977 million and "Painted Skin 2" with 790 million.

According to this box office trend and word of mouth, it is a certainty that "Thai Embarrassment" will surpass "Painted Skin 2", and it is very likely that it will surpass "Titanic 3D".

Now what the media is thinking about is, is the first domestic film with a box office of more than 1 billion about to be born?

And was it born at the hands of an actor who was not a director?

Soon the last week of December passed in a hurry, and the box office charts were released again.

This time, the performance of "Zodiac" is still outstanding, ending the dream of "Thai Embarrassment" three consecutive championships with a box office of 295 million yuan.

The two-week cumulative box office of "Zodiac" has reached 565 million yuan, and the annual box office ranking in the mainland has also risen to 8th!

However, most of the media focus is on "Thai Embarrassment".

Although "Thai Embarrassment" failed to achieve three consecutive championships in the third week, it once again won a box office of 271 million yuan.

Three weeks later, the cumulative box office of "Thai Embarrassment" reached 956.5 million yuan!

is already on the list to break 1 billion, and it is only one step away!

And this is the last day before 2012 passes.

If on December 31, 2012, "Thai Embarrassment" can get a box office of more than 43.5 million yuan, then "Thai Embarrassment" will officially become the first domestic film to break 1 billion at the box office.

It is also the third film in the mainland to break 1 billion at the box office after "Avatar" and "Transformers 3".

It was on December 31, 2012 that Chen Jing officially signed a mortgage contract with Imperial Capital Bank, and obtained 100 million yuan with the mortgage of five properties.

And then this small goal was not hot, and a lot of it was spent.

"Mr. Chen, hello, I am Jiang Zhiqiang of Anle Pictures." Jiang Zhiqiang smiled and stretched out his hand.

Chen Jing clasped his hands and said, "Hello Mr. Jiang, let me introduce, this is Yang Mi." ”

"Mr. Jiang is good, Mr. Lu is good." Yang Mi greeted with a smile.

"Are the Crystal Honey couples real?" Lu Zheng joked.

"Hahaha......"

Today, Lu Zheng introduced Chen Jing to Jiang Zhiqiang of Anle, and the conversation was naturally about "Monster Hunt".

In addition to wanting to participate in "Monster Hunt", Chen Jing also wanted to recommend Yang Mi to become the heroine, after all, the first domestic film with a box office of more than 2 billion, this qualification and honor are really rare.

Today, Yang Mi also returned to the imperial capital to participate in the 2012 National Drama Festival, and she was the image spokesperson of the ceremony, so she was pulled by Chen Jing.

"I heard Mr. Lu say before that Mr. Chen wants to participate in the project "Monster Hunt". Jiang Zhiqiang said.

"Yes, I am very interested after listening to Mr. Lu's introduction." Chen Jing nodded.

"Then I'll be blunt, we have been preparing for this project for 5 years, aiming to create a magical blockbuster that can be comparable to the beautiful dock, and the director has directed "Shrek 3".

In terms of the combination of live-action and animation, there is a lot of research, in order to be able to achieve the special effects of Hollywood, so the investment is huge, and the budget is 270 million yuan.

This should be the largest domestic film with the largest investment, and at the same time, we have also invited many stars to join, just to set a new benchmark for domestic magic movies.

Many well-known companies in the industry have participated, such as Wanda, Anle, Yinghuang and so on. Jiang Zhiqiang said.

Chen Jing nodded when she heard this, "So, how much can I invest?" ”

"30 million!" Jiang Zhiqiang was not embarrassed, and said directly.

"Okay, I'll vote." Chen Jing said, "However, I want to ask, have the heroes and heroines of the movie been decided?" ”

Lu Zheng glanced at Chen Jing and said, "Our Wanda means to recommend Chen Jing and Yang Mi, Chen Jing's popularity in the mainland can be called the first, and Yang Mi and her Jingmi couple are very well-known in the mainland." ”

"Sister Mi herself is a popular flower dan, and she has just won the Hundred Flowers Movie, her performance in "33 Days of Broken Love" is wonderful, and she definitely has both acting skills and popularity.

To be honest, the investment in "Monster Hunt" is as high as 270 million, and the pressure to return to the capital is still quite high, and if you want to return to the cost or even make money, then the mainland market is the most important, so I recommend Sister Mi to star with me. Chen Jing said.

Jiang Zhiqiang nodded when he heard this, "This leading actor is still in the process of selection, and it is not easy to decide for the time being, and it still needs to be discussed with the director." ”

After hearing this, Chen Jing looked at Yang Mi and smiled, "Sister Mi, is the "Little Times" you are filming now cooperating with Ke Zhendong?" ”

"That's right, there is Ke Zhendong, and we have a very good cooperation." Although Yang Mi didn't know why Chen Jing mentioned Ke Zhendong, there was still a tacit understanding about this.

After hearing this, Jiang Zhiqiang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Chen Jing, because Ke Zhendong was the male number one who was strongly promoted by Baodao.

It's just that Chen Jing mentioned what does it mean for Yang Mi and Ke Zhendong to cooperate?

Mainly to recommend Yang Mi? And not yourself?

Lu Zheng was also a little surprised, and after thinking about it, Chen Jing might feel that he didn't have much hope, so he recommended his girlfriend.

"I see." Jiang Zhiqiang glanced at Yang Mi and nodded, "Go back, I will discuss with the director, and I will notify you as soon as I have the result." ”

After Jiang Zhiqiang left, Chen Jing said to Lu Zheng, "Thank you Mr. Lu for your recommendation, and please continue to help me in the future, if it really doesn't work, I only recommend Yang Mi." ”

Lu Zheng smiled when he heard this, "Haha, the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass!" Don't worry, I'll do my best to get it for you. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Lu!" Chen Jing said with a smile.

After sending Lu Zheng away, Yang Mi held Chen Jing's arm and said excitedly, "I didn't expect you to introduce me to a blockbuster with an investment of 270 million!" It's a really scary investment. ”

"A blockbuster is worthy of a big honey." Chen Jing said with a smile.

"But I see the way you just looked, it seems that you mainly recommended me, not yourself?" Yang Mi hesitated, ignoring Chen Jing's joke.

"Well, there are many investors in this kind of film with a huge investment, including the mainland, Xiangjiang, and Baodao, and everyone wants to use their own actors.

Co-production, it has always been the male protagonist of Xiangjiang Treasure Island and the female protagonist of the mainland, and I have also communicated with Mr. Lu of Wanda, and I strongly recommend you, so your hope is not small. Chen Jing said.

Yang Mi nodded when she heard this, she knew that this magic blockbuster with an investment of 270 million was definitely the top resource in the industry.

However, Chen Jing strongly recommended her instead of herself, although there were some reasons, but it showed Chen Jing's sincere dedication to Yang Mi.

In Yang Mi's view, perhaps Chen Jing's investment of 30 million was to buy her this opportunity.

Therefore, at this time, Yang Mi looked at Chen Jing's beautiful eyes, and there seemed to be some moisture.
