On November 20, "The King of Kung Fu", a $70 million joint venture between Huayi Brothers and Hollywood, was officially launched at Dunhuang.

A few days ago, a reporter photographed the main actors of the movie, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Liu Yifei, Fan Binbin, etc., all of whom had flown to Dunhuang.

Because Li Lianhua participated in Li Mu's movie "Super Body", the role of the white-haired witch in "The King of Kung Fu" finally fell on Fan Binbin's head.

"I heard that the reason why Liu Yifei was able to participate in "The King of Kung Fu" was because he was recommended by the Huayi brothers, and the condition was that Liu Yifei wanted to join Huayi?" Between filming in Xiangjiang, Li Mu and Li Lianhua chatted about some gossip about the movie "The King of Kung Fu".

In the legend, Liu Yifei not only ate the gift but also refused Huayi's invitation to join, which finally annoyed the Wang brothers, causing the film and television resources to plummet.

Li Lianhua shook her head when she heard this: "The Huayi brothers can't decide on the candidates for several actors, the movie is a co-production, and Hollywood also has a lot of right to speak, director Rob Minkov likes Chinese martial arts films very much, and especially likes the role of Wang Yuyan played by Liu Yifei in "Dragon Babu", plus Director Luo Bominkov's wife has the same name as Liu Yifei's English name, so the corner of Golden Swallow naturally fell on Liu Yifei's head. ”

……

In December, the biggest news in the film industry was the official release of director Zhang Yimou's work "The City Full of Golden Armor".

The box office of Golden A was 15 million yuan on the first day, and the box office was 96 million yuan in the four days of the first weekend, breaking a series of box office records created by director Zhang Yimou himself, but there is still a distance between the box office results and director Li Mu's work "Assassin".

"Assassin" had a box office of 22 million yuan on the first day, 105 million yuan on the first weekend, and a total domestic box office of 360 million yuan.

"The City Full of Golden Armor" has continued to grow at an average box office of about 30 million per day since the box office broke 100 million, and Chen Lingjuan, distribution manager of the film production company New Picture Pictures, told reporters that with its current box office growth rate, it is expected to break the domestic record of 360 million set by "Assassin" this year.

When asked by a reporter whether Golden Armor is expected to break the global box office record of $355 million set by Li Mu's "Assassin", Chen Lingjuan replied that "Assassin" is starring Cheng Long and Li Lian, two kung fu superstars, and as we all know, Cheng Long and Li Lian are the most international box office appeal of Chinese superstars.

On December 20, the first press conference of the movie "The King of Kung Fu" since the start of filming was held as scheduled outside the main hall of the Qin Palace in Hengdian.

At the press conference, in the anticipation of hundreds of media, the film-related creators Cheng Long, Li Lianlian, Liu Yifei, Fan Binbin, Michael Angrano, Zou Zhaolong, director Robert Minkoff, martial arts instructor Yuan Heping, etc. appeared one after another.

For the two heroines of the movie, Brother Cheng Long is obviously more optimistic about Liu Yifei, in an interview with reporters, Cheng Long said: "Liu Yifei's little girl is very cute, she has a dancing background, she looks good in the fight, and she is very bold and dares to act, which surprised me." ”

When talking about Liu Yifei's future development, Cheng Long said: "Liu Yifei's age, height, appearance, and fluent English are the conditions for entering Hollywood!" She will have good results in Hollywood and can become Gong Li's successor. ”

"Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi and Yang Ziqiong, these Chinese actresses are just the first step into Hollywood, but it's hard to say whether they can keep up later; Liu Yifei is a good actor, serious and modest in his work, able to speak fluent Japanese and English, jump if she wants to, get on the horse if she wants to get on the horse, don't care whether it is dangerous or not, she will definitely have achievements in the future. ”

In recent months, Liu Yifei has been struggling with whether to join Huayi Brothers or join a Hollywood economic company, and at this moment, hearing Cheng Long's words to answer reporters, the balance in her heart finally began to tilt in the direction of Hollywood.

After the press conference, Liu Yifei specially told Cheng Long her decision, and William Morris, a famous Hollywood agency, was contacting her at this time, and she had decided to join this Hollywood economic company and seek development in Hollywood.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Long said that it is not necessary to sign a contract with a Hollywood economic company to develop in Hollywood, although the Hollywood company is very strong, but there are also many pitfalls, and if you are not careful, you will suffer.

Liu Yifei was even more confused after listening to it, she didn't know the meaning of Brother Cheng Long's words, didn't she strengthen her determination to go to Hollywood after listening to Brother Cheng Long's words?

Cheng Long said with a smile: "Just after praising you for being smart, you will be stupid, there are people around you who know Hollywood very well, and they will not pit you, why should you go far and near?" ”

After Liu Yifei listened, a figure instantly appeared in his mind.

……

Xiangjiang, at 10 o'clock in the evening, the crew of "Super Body" stayed at the hotel.

Li Mu was just about to go to sleep, and the mobile phone prompt sounded, he picked it up and looked at it, and was a little surprised in his heart, it was a text message from Liu Yifei.

"Which do you think is better, the Huayi brothers or William Morris?"

Li Mu replied: "Brother Huayi." ”

Liu Yifei: "Why? ”

Li Mu: "Because I haven't heard of William Morris." ”

Liu Yifei: "??? ”

Then he immediately sent another one: "William Morris is a well-known economic company in Hollywood, and Zhang Ziyi signed a contract with this company." ”

Li Mu: "It's still Huayi Brothers." ”

Liu Yifei: "????? ”

Li Mu: "No matter how good William Morris is, it is a foreign company after all, your foundation has always been in China, and you have watched "Dragon Babu", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" in countless audiences. Most Chinese go to Hollywood to develop no future, at this stage Huayi Brothers resources are not bad, shoot a few more film and television dramas that Chinese people like, and then buy some Huayi Brothers stocks, wait for two years and wait for Huayi Brothers to go public, the stock is likely to double and skyrocket, and the assets will double and increase in value within a few months, instantly upgrading from actors to capital, and achieving class leapfrogging. After a few years, Huayi will take advantage of the trend to jump to other companies, as long as there is popularity, there are countless large companies willing to spend a lot of money to grab, is it better than going to Hollywood as a small supporting role? ”

Liu Yifei: "Then you still go to the United States to write books and make movies in the United States?" ”

Li Mu: "Well, my situation is special - isn't it, you just want to enter Hollywood?" ”

Liu Yifei: "It is every actor's dream to enter Hollywood, and of course I am no exception, so I have to work hard." ”

Li Mu: "Okay, then you can choose William Morris, anyway, you have thick blood, and it is nothing to delay for ten years." ”

Liu Yifei: "Thick blood? ”

Li Mu: "It's just that there are too many viewers who like TV series such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and there are a lot of audiences who like you after ten years of bad movies, this is blood. ”

Liu Yifei: "You're so unoptimistic about Hollywood? ”

Li Mu: "Optimistic, I just don't think about the vast majority of Chinese going to Hollywood to develop." ”

Liu Yifei: "Brother Cheng Long is very optimistic about me going to Hollywood for development. ”

Li Mu: "Then you can go and make your own decisions." ”

Liu Yifei: "But going to Hollywood doesn't necessarily mean signing William Morris." ”

Li Mu: "Well, of course. ”

Liu Yifei: "Maybe joining Huashang will be more promising?" ”

Li Mu: "Hua ...... Still? ”

Liu Yifei: "Brother Cheng Long said that Huashang is the domestic company that knows Hollywood best. ”

Li Mu: "Eldest sister, let's stop for a while, may I ask if the Huashang you just mentioned is my ......?" ”

Liu Yifei: "That's right, it's your Huashang." ”

Li Mu was silent.

After a while, Liu Yifei:

"What, you don't want it?"

Liu Yifei: "?? Give a reaction!! ”

Li Mu: "That...... Okay. ”

Liu Yifei: "Okay, right?" ”

Li Mu: "Okay, come on, I want you-this will be fine!" ”

Liu Yifei was a little speechless, why did he have to add a sentence at the end?
