Chapter 578: Crime and Punishment

""Huaxia Doctor" collected another 540 million yuan the next week, and won the weekly box office champion for a strong rear!" --- reported by Sohu Entertainment

"The cumulative box office of "Huaxia Doctor" in two weeks and 10 days is 889 million yuan, and it is about to break 1 billion!" --- Wangyi Entertainment

"The national style 3D animation "White Snake 2: The Robbery of the Green Snake" was released, with 193 million yuan in the first week, ranking second on the list!" --- New Wolf Entertainment

……

On July 19, the new weekly box office rankings were released.

The second week after the release of "Doctor Huaxia", ushered in the first full week, and finally won the box office of 540 million yuan, and won the weekly box office champion without suspense.

Two weeks later, the cumulative box office is 889 million, and breaking 1 billion should be this week.

This box office result has also made "Huaxia Doctor" surpass "My Sister" with 860 million and rise to the 8th place in the annual box office list in 2021!

And the new film "White Snake 2", which was released just last week, as a sequel to "White Snake", which has a good box office and reputation, is also quite expected by animation fans.

However, in the end, it only received 193 million yuan at the box office in the first week, which somewhat disappointed October animation and major theaters.

In their expectations, the first week should at least break 200 million, and this first week data is a bit unsatisfactory.

However, October animation is quite acceptable, the total investment of "White Snake 2" is 150 million yuan, according to this box office result, it should not lose money, and it may make a small profit.

It's just a pity that we haven't been able to recreate a hit.

But think about it, it's so easy to make a hit.

Perhaps it is also because although the story of Xu Xianbai Lady is also a household name, the pattern is still too small, far less magnificent than "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Gods".

Although the box office of "White Snake 2" is not as expected, it also exceeds the data of the first part of "White Snake" in the same period, and the final box office surpassing "White Snake" should not be a big problem, and it can be regarded as progress.

……

"Hiss......" Chen Jing said painfully.

Seeing this, Yang Mi rolled her eyes at Chen Jing, "Have you eaten enough?" ”

Chen Jing smiled when she heard this, "Isn't this learning from the ancients to taste the taste of rouge!" ”

"You're not afraid of poisoning you!" Yang Mi wiped her red lips angrily and said.

Pulling out Chen Jing's big hand on her conscience, Yang Mi tidied up her dress a little, and then took out the mirror to touch up her makeup.

"Okay, it's already beautiful, you don't need to make it anymore." Chen Jing laughed.

Yang Mi just glanced at Chen Jing.

Although Chen Jing said this, Yang Mi knew in her heart that she was 35 years old, and even if she usually paid attention to maintenance, she had reduced her drama in recent years.

always pulls Chen Jing to fight chicken blood, but he still can't resist the erosion of time.

Even now, Yang Mi still looks charming and attractive, but some details, such as the corners of her eyes, will still reveal her biological age.

Now Yang Mi also needs all kinds of filters and refinement, otherwise it can't be compared with the post-90s generation like Xiaodi, and the 95 flowers like Xiaotong who are entering their peak.

"It's almost time." Yang Mi asked after confirming her makeup again.

Chen Jing looked at the time, "Well, you can go." ”

"Let's go, then!" Yang Mi smiled and stood up and took Chen Jing's arm out of the room.

Today is July 19, 2021, and it is the day when the premiere of "Crime and Punishment", the fourth film directed by Chen Jing, was held.

Chen Jing and Yang Mi both returned to the imperial capital the night before, the two tossed for a night, had an in-depth exchange in the morning, ate hastily at noon, and started styling in the afternoon.

It's already 4 p.m., and there are still more than 2 hours before the premiere begins.

At this time, the red carpet at the premiere was already surrounded by media reporters and fans, and media reporters, major theaters and fans were looking forward to "Crime and Punishment", which was more than 1 year late.

After all, it is one of the most anticipated blockbusters of 2021.

When Chen Jing and Yang Mi arrived at the premiere, Liu Dehua, Zhang Yi, Zhao Jinmai, Li Xian and Huang Jingyu and other main creators were already waiting.

In addition, Tianbao, Wen Yongshan and other cameos have also arrived.

"Brother Hua, everyone is so early!" Chen Jing greeted and nodded to the others.

"Director Chen!" *5

"I'm excited to cooperate with Boss Chen!" Liu Dehua joked.

Chen Jing smiled when she heard this, "Me too, I hope everyone can like this film." ”

"I'm going to love it." Liu Dehua said with a smile.

Chen Jing chatted hotly here, and Yang Mi on the other side also found her best friend Tianbao.

……

"Crime and Punishment is finally going to premiere, and I've been waiting for a long time!"

"Not only you, but all major theaters have been waiting for a long time, just waiting to make money."

"It's supposed to make money, but I don't know how much box office "Crime and Punishment" can hit."

"There should be 4 billion!"

"Is it possible to surpass "Hello, Li Huanying", what do you think?"

"The box office of "Crime and Punishment" should not be low, but it surpasses "Hello, Li Huanying", it feels unlikely!"

"Who can say for sure, after all, it is Chen Jing's movie, and the last "Operation Red Sea" was more than 4 billion."

"Whatever, whether the box office is low or high, it's good for us."

"Hehe, that's right!"

"Don't say it, it's coming, it's coming!"

……

When the time was up, Chen Jing took Liu Dehua, Zhang Yi, Zhao Jinmai, Li Xian and Huang Jingyu and other movie creators to be the first to walk on the red carpet.

After all, it is the host of the premiere, and the first to go also means to get off to a good start.

"Boss Chen, this way!"

"Brother Hua!"

"Mai Mai!"

"Ken's boyfriend!"

……

Chen Jing and others walked on the red carpet, and the screams of fans and the clicks of media reporters sounded around the red carpet.

Chen Jing and others also smiled and waved to everyone, took a few photos with media reporters, and then walked into the venue.

Subsequently, Yang Mi, Tianbao, Wen Yongshan, as well as Xiaodi, Meina, Tianai, Bai Lu, Guan Xiaotong and other small flowers of Jingpin Entertainment also took the stage.

Zhu Yawen, Wang Xueqi, Song Jia, Ma Sichun, Bai Yu, etc., the Youth League of Wow Wow, Yang Chaoyue, Han Geng, Wang Yibo, Wu Xuanyi and Cheng Xiao of Yuehua, etc.

Li Chen, Duan Yihong, Han Dongjun, He Jiong, Yu Sign, Deng Chao and his wife, Wu Jing and his wife, Shen Ting, Mary, Yang Yang, Li Qing, Xu Zheng, Wang Baobao and other partners in the circle came to help.

In addition, directors such as Wen Muye, Guo Fan, Xue Xiaolu, and Zhang Baibai also attended.

There are also a lot of bosses and bosses, Lu Zheng, Cai Yinong, Li Shaohong, Wang Changtian and so on.

To sum up in one sentence, the premiere of "Crime and Punishment" was star-studded, and almost half of the entertainment industry came, not much inferior to the awards ceremony.

"Brother Jing, welcome, welcome!" Chen Jing and Wu Jing hugged each other.

Wu Jing smiled, "Congratulations, brother, how much box office are you going to do this time?" ”

"No matter how high it is, it must be higher than "Wolf Warrior 2". Chen Jing said with a smile.

Wu Jing said, "Don't think I don't know, you have long been staring at the box office record of "Wolf Warrior 2". ”

"Hahaha......" Chen Jing laughed when she heard this, "Then I can't do it alone, I have to rely on "Changjin Lake". ”

"I've been busy filming recently, how is "Changjin Lake" cut?" Wu Jing asked.

Chen Jing nodded, "It's been cut, and the second part of "Watergate Bridge" hasn't been completed yet." ”

Wu Jing smiled when she heard this, "That's not in a hurry, anyway, it will only be released next year, okay, you are busy, I will go in first." ”

"Oops, Brother Chao, Sister Li!" Chen Jing stepped forward and hugged Deng Chao, and then wanted to hug Sun Li.

"Go and go, don't try to take advantage of your sister." Deng Chao pushed Chen Jing away with a smile.

Sun Li smiled when she saw this, then pushed Deng Chao away and hugged Chen Jing, "What's wrong with me and my brother hugging?" ”

"That's it, the heart of a villain!" Chen Jing looked at Deng Chaodao.

Deng Chao said with a depressed face, "Brother, you two are playing, why don't you take me?" ”

"Didn't we call you? Who told you to do variety shows. Chen Jing rolled her eyes and said, "And did the two of you go to do a "King Kong River"?" ”

"Hehe, this isn't a cooperation with the goose factory." Deng Chao smiled, "And your focus is not on acting now." ”

Chen Jing nodded, "That's right, we should focus on the company and the director in the future, then let's cooperate in the next play." ”

"Okay, I'm waiting for you." Deng Chao said with a smile.

"Boss Chen, I wish the box office a big hit!" Lu Zheng said with a smile.

Chen Jing smiled when she heard this, "Then I'll borrow your auspicious words." ”

"Brother, our previous promise may have to be fulfilled as soon as possible." Lu Zhengdao.

Chen Jing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then remembered that Lu Zheng was talking about buying Wanda Group's shares, and it seemed that Wanda Group's funds were still very tight, "No problem, I can do it at any time." ”

When Lu Zheng heard this, he looked at Chen Jing and gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother, you are this, and now you will make money in the circle." ”

"Oh, your words have lifted me up to the sky, don't fall me to death." Chen Jing smiled, "Just make some hard-earned money." ”

"You, haha......" Lu Zheng was amused when he heard this, "Okay, find a time to talk about it in detail later." ”

"I'm always available." Chen Jing said with a smile.

After a while, all the guests, media reporters and lucky audience members entered the venue, and with He Jiong and Xie Nan taking the stage, the world premiere of "Crime and Punishment" officially began.

"Ladies and gentlemen, friends, welcome everyone to take the time to come to the premiere of the fantasy masterpiece "Crime and Punishment" directed by Boss Chen and starring Brother Hua, Zhang Yi, Mai Mai, etc., I am the host He Jiong!"

"I'm Xie Nan!"

……

The two hosts warmed up for a while, and then some behind-the-scenes footage and promotional videos of "Crime and Punishment" played on the stage.

Subsequently, Chen Jing, Liu Dehua and other main creators were invited to the stage by He Jiong.

"Director Chen, can you tell us about the original intention of making this movie?" He Jiong asked.

Chen Jing heard the nonsense and said, "At that time, I saw a cartoon that combined some myths and legends in China with modern legal proceedings, and I thought it was quite interesting."

What's more, the essence of this mythical story is to tell a story about filial piety and self-redemption, which is thought-provoking, and I feel it is necessary to film it out and let more people know about it. ”

"In other words, the gorgeous special effects are just the appearance, and they serve more for the core of filial piety and redemption." He Jiong smiled.

Chen Jing nodded when she heard this, "That's right." ”

"So Brother Hua, how do you feel about cooperating with Boss Chen this time?" Xie Nan asked.

Liu Dehua said with a smile, "The deepest feeling is that Director Chen is really a genius in film, his imagination is unbridled, which is amazing, and of course, what I like more is the story of the movie itself."

As Director Chen said, this is a good story that is worth watching, experiencing, and reminiscing for all audiences. ”

"What about Mai Mai, the previous starring roles in "Send You a Little Red Flower" and "My Sister" are impressive, do you have any expectations for "Crime and Punishment"?" He Jiong asked with a smile.

"Of course, I hope that the film will be a box office hit, and then people will enjoy the story and be happy with my performance." Zhao Jinmai said with a smile.

……

When the time came to seven o'clock in the evening, the interaction between the film's creator and everyone ended, the lights of the whole scene dimmed, and "Crime and Punishment" officially premiered nationwide!

Everyone present also stared at the big screen curiously, wanting to see if the fourth movie brought by Chen Jing was still at the level of the previous three.

Or bring a bigger surprise to everyone!

After the animations of Dragon Brand, Crystal Entertainment, Huaying and Wanda, the big screen lit up, and the story of "Crime and Punishment" officially began.

There is a law in the underworld, and all the deceased must go through the judgment of the ten halls of Hades after death, and only the deceased who have passed all the trials and are acquitted have a chance to be reborn.

"Mr. Zhang Lei, died smoothly today", firefighter Zhang Lei died in a fire to save a child.

Black Impermanence and his assistant appeared in front of Zhang Lei, although Zhang Lei couldn't believe his death, but was told by the messenger of hell with a serious face that he was both a dead man and a nobleman.

At the entrance to hell, Zhang Lei met Bai Wuchang, another messenger who was waiting for him.

He is the leader of the Black Impermanence and the Assistant, and will also defend Zhang Lei in his upcoming trial.

It turns out that if King Yama had reincarnated 49 deceased people within 1,000 years, then the three messengers would also be reincarnated into the mortal world.

They believe that the 48th deceased, Zhang Lei, a noble man who appeared in the past 19 years, can be successfully reborn.

However, in various hells, Zhang Lei's past appeared one after another, and it turned out that this noble man still had "secrets that could not be said", including even killing his mother!

In the process of watching the movie, many audiences, including media reporters and film critics, couldn't help but exclaim.

The unbridled imagination and top-notch special effects in Crime and Punishment combine to form a shocking picture that viewers can't help but admire!

Whether it is the ultimate embodiment of natural elements such as water, fire, iron, ice, and sand, or the magnificent and majestic world of hell, it is breathtaking.

In addition to the breathtaking special effects, the story itself is also empathetic, and at the end of the film, many viewers couldn't help but wipe their tears!

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

So, when the cast and crew was raised, the whole scene resounded with long-lasting warm applause!
