Just when the domestic media was frantically looking for Sun Yi and Liu Yifei in the United States, the two had already taken the flight back to China at this moment.

High in the sky, Liu Yifei looked out the window, the clear blue sky was cloudless, as clear as jasper, just like her state of mind at the moment.

Looking back on the past half a month, it seems like a dream.

Everywhere I went, there were countless media and movie fans, who did not hesitate to say beautiful words, as if they had really become a Hollywood superstar.

The once unattainable dream seems to have become within reach.

"Brother."

"Huh?"

"I feel like it's all dreamy."

"What do you mean?"

"Our movie, which has a box office of over 100 million, feels a bit unreal."

"Unreal?"

Sun Yi chuckled, raised his hand and gently pinched Liu Yifei's pretty face, and then felt that it was not enjoyable, and pulled it.

"Hehe, it's not real this time."

Liu Yifei was stunned, and after a while, she reacted, wrinkled her nose, and raised her fist at Sun Yi.

"Oh, you're so annoying, I'm telling you to be serious."

"Hey, hey, I'm not helping you find the real feeling, why don't you know the hearts of good people."

Liu Yifei did not follow.

"Do you have to pinch me to find true feelings?"

"Didn't you hold back for a while?"

"No, then you let me pinch it too."

Faced with this request, Sun Yi sternly refused.

"Impossible, I'm a dignified old man, can I just let a woman pinch her face, and do you want to lose face?"

A moment later

"Say it in advance, just a little ah, hey, how can you still have two hands...... Let's go together! ”

Forget it, just give her one.

spoils his girlfriend, and he doesn't have any face.

After playing around for a while, Liu Yifei put her head on Sun Yi's shoulder, with a satisfied smile on the corner of her mouth.

Sun Yi also put away his joke, grabbed her shoulder with one hand, and said softly:

"The entertainment industry is like this, no matter what China or Hollywood, when you succeed, everyone will revolve around you, the more you have to stay sober at this time, and you can't make mistakes."

"yes, I understand."

Sun Yi is not only saying to Liu Yifei, but also encouraging himself.

The results of this trip to the United States were also something he did not anticipate in advance.

According to his knowledge of the original book, the box office revenue in North America is only 70 million US dollars.

But this time he nearly doubled.

In fact, the movie is amazing, and after it is released, there are too many factors that are affected.

The schedule, word-of-mouth, content, and even the current hot topics, the actors themselves, etc., will have a great impact on the movie.

Sun Yi's adaptation of "Shelter" can be said to have taken advantage of the right time, place and people.

The first is the overall market background.

Unlike the 16 years of the original book, the economic crisis in the United States in 2008 directly caused the explosion of the film industry.

Again, the schedule is different.

The original work was in March, a garbage schedule, and Sun Yi is a real North American "summer file" this time.

As we all know, there are mainly two schedules for Hollywood movies, one is the "summer file", and the remaining one is the "Christmas file". ”

The "summer vacation" in North America usually starts on the first weekend of May and ends in mid-August, strictly speaking, it actually starts with Memorial Day and ends on Labor Day in the United States.

In fact, the "summer file" has nothing to do with the summer, and the reason why the producers are crowded into the "summer file" is, to put it bluntly, that they take advantage of people's holidays, have nothing to do, and have a lot of time, and watching movies will be a good way to entertain.

Therefore, in this schedule, the general box office will be much higher.

In terms of subject matter, he also took advantage.

Since entering July, the entire North American film market can be said to be surrounded by science fiction films.

"Public Enemy" Hancock swept the box office of 227 million in the United States, with a premiere box office of 62.6 million, and a total box office of 228 million, second only to "Iron Man" and "Batman Begins 2: The Dark Knight", becoming the third place at the annual box office.

"Hellboy 2", which was released at the same time, returned to its original cost within two weeks of its release, easily breaking 100 million. Next is the most outstanding performance of "Batman Begins 2: The Dark Knight", whose appearance directly set off the climax of the summer file.

Sun Yi's "Refuge" is catching up with the tail of this wave of science fiction.

In addition, his good reputation after adapting the ending, and his girlfriend's excellent performance, these various reasons, together created the box office of the movie to break 100 million.

As for why Sun Yi was in a hurry to return to China less than half a month after the movie was released, the reason is more complicated.

"Shelter" was fully released on August 11, and after a box office of 60 million in the first week, it expanded to 3,000 theaters in the second week, taking advantage of the number advantage and stubbornly resisting the trend of falling box office.

But the third week was obviously unbearable.

The box office plummeted by 40% on the first day, and it was already less than 10 million.

The reasons for the box office collapse are, first, that the summer vacation in North America has officially ended, and the moviegoers have declined in a large area.

The second is that, after all, this film is still a small-budget movie in the final analysis, just using the plot and reversal to attract fans, and there are no exciting big scenes.

The fans who can attract have basically seen it, and the rest are basically not interested.

In addition, it has been two weeks since the release of "Shelter", and they have already run all over the top ten major box office cities in the United States, and it doesn't make much sense to continue running.

Of course, this is all a superficial reason, and he said it to Liu Yifei. In fact, the most fundamental reason, he didn't say, two more days, but an important day, he had secretly prepared for a long time before, how could he waste it on the propaganda roadshow in the United States.

In the afternoon, the plane arrived at Beijing International Airport on time.

Sun Yi woke up Liu Yifei, who was asleep, and the two of them simply disguised themselves as usual, put on masks, sunglasses, and Liu Yifei also brought a baseball cap, and just like that, they got off the plane.

After picking up the luggage, the two followed behind the crowd, walking slowly, whispering as they walked, planning the next arrangements, and didn't find anything unusual at all.

Just turn a corner.

Sun Yi was stunned, only to see a group of reporters with long guns and short guns waiting at the exit of the station, I don't know which sharp-eyed one saw him directly, and shouted "Sun Yi!" ”。

It was like a thunderstorm on the ground, and the scene immediately exploded.

The whole crowd rushed towards them like hungry wolves.

The microphone of the interview almost didn't hit his mouth.

The constant flashing lights of the camera gave him the feeling of being on the battlefield and being hit by a flashbang, and if he hadn't brought sunglasses in advance, maybe the dog's eyes would have been blinded at this moment.

"Director Sun Yi, Director Sun Yi, I'm Xinjing Entertainment, alas, don't squeeze me."

"Yifei, Yifei, look here"

"Director Sun, Director Sun, excuse me. it! ”

The reporters directly surrounded the exit of the station, and even almost fought in order to seize the first row.

The reporter was followed by a group of fans with banners.

"Sister Fairy."

"Sissi."

"Yifei."

"Sun Gou, get out of the way, I want to see the fairy sister !!"

Nima!

Sun Yi's first reaction was to protect Liu Yifei tightly behind him, and then immediately took her back to the exit channel.

"What's the matter, is it all for the two of us?"

Liu Yifei was still a little stunned at this time, she hadn't encountered media interviews before, but it was the first time she had seen the battle that blocked the outbound hall.

Sun Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead, a little helpless.

"Well, that's for us."

He didn't expect it to be like this, their trip was very secretive, I don't know why the reporter knew about it.

In fact, from the moment they boarded the plane yesterday, they received the news here.

In recent years, the management of relevant departments has not been perfect, and things like flight passenger information are not difficult to obtain in the hands of people with intentions.

Sun Yi called Yang Fan as soon as possible.

"Brother Fan, what about you, I'll wipe it, so many reporters blocked me, and you didn't tell me in advance."

"Where can I tell you to go, I'm still stuck outside the exit hall and haven't entered, I don't know what's going on inside."

"You should contact the airport and ask them for help, I don't want to make headlines tomorrow and say that I am disturbing public order."

"Okay, okay, you wait, I'll go right away."

In about ten minutes, Yang Fan led more than a dozen airport police officers to the exit of the station, and finally rescued Sun Yi and Liu Yifei.

But the reporters and fans at the scene still refused to leave.

In the end, there was really no way, so I could only guide everyone to the sidelines first, and then the two began to divide labor, Sun Yi went to be interviewed, and Liu Yifei went to thank the fans.

"Director Sun Yi, do you have any plans for this movie to be released in China?"

"Yes, the distributor will try to let the film be released in most countries around the world, including China, but the specific time has not yet been decided."

"Director Sun Yi, the box office of your film broke 100 million and became the first Chinese director at the Hollywood box office, what do you think?"

"First of all, I feel very honored, but I still want to correct you, the holder of the Hollywood box office record of a Chinese director is Hong Kong Island director Mr. Wu Yusen's "Mission Impossible 2", 210 million US dollars."

"After all, when counting our country, we can't leave Hong Kong Island behind."

Seeing that Sun Yi was so arrogant and impatient, sober-minded and never forgot the overall situation, the reporters on the scene applauded him.

On Liu Yifei's side, the fans are extremely enthusiastic.

"Immortals...... Belch...... Liu...... Madder. ”

"It's okay, call me Sissi, what's your name."

"Akane...... Hello Sissi, my name is Guo Qian Xiao Yi Fei Yi stay......"

"Huh? Goose Goose Goose ...... Thank you, but this is the screen name, right, so let me sign this? ”

"No, it's not, my name is Liu Xuan."

"Uh-huh, then I wish Liu Xuan a happy and happy day, Liu Yifei."

Scissor hands, click.

……

Sorry for being late, so please bear with me.
