Regarding the release of "Inception" into the summer file, the voice of domestic opposition is actually not big.

Because this schedule is not given to "Inception", it will be given to "The Expendables".

One is facing Leonardo + Zhang Yuanjun + Liu Yifei, and the other is facing Stallone + Jason Statham + Li Lian.

None of them looks easy to mess with, but if you have to choose one, the boss of a domestic production company is more willing to face "Inception".

Because "high-IQ crimes will not be very appetizing to domestic audiences".

Moreover, in the entire summer file, only "Tangshan Earthquake" and "City Alert" can be called "blockbusters", the latter is known as the first Chinese mutant sci-fi blockbuster.

Other films in the schedule, including "Lone Agent", are all produced at a small and medium-cost cost, and they are average.

Some institutions have predicted that this year's summer file will not be good due to the impact of the World Cup and the withdrawal of various production companies. The market also needs a blockbuster like Inception to boost confidence.

At the same time, it was also mentioned that this year's Lunar New Year file may be the worst schedule in the history, and many movies have retreated to the New Year file.

"Inception" officially landed in theaters in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, India and other countries on the 16th.

$3 million at midnight in North America — mediocre.

The box office on the first day was $20 million, and it swept $62.78 million at the box office in North America in the first three days of the opening weekend, topping the weekly list.

"Inception" immediately caused a wave of viewing and discussion in North America and even around the world.

Because of the participation of Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei, the domestic media paid special attention to the film, and the North American and global achievements of "Inception" were repeatedly reported by the domestic media, so mainland fans also maintained high expectations for this movie.

When Zhang Yuanjun's fans flipped through the official website of China Film, they saw that "Inception" had appeared in the "New Film Express" column, but the release time was undecided.

Calling China Film, the relevant person in charge only said: "The introduction is confirmed, but the release date is still being discussed, and it will be announced in time." ”

In fact, the industry has known about it for a long time, but it has not been announced to the public.

It wasn't until the second week of "Inception" that it was released in North America and still received $43.5 million to win the weekly championship that China Film slowly announced the introduction and finalization of the news.

At this time, "Inception" was released in North America for 10 days, and the box office exceeded $140 million, and the global box office easily exceeded $200 million.

And industry analysts have noticed a very interesting phenomenon, the rewatch rate of "Inception" is very high.

Many viewers will choose to watch it a second time, or even a third time.

This has led to a lot of box office increases.

Under the almost viral publicity of Zhang Yuanjun's team, the results of "Inception" have been widely reported in China, and the focus is not on Xiao Li, but on Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei.

The domestic mainstream audience does not have a "Jack" filter for Leonardo, and Leon is really not as good as Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei in China.

"Inception" became an international hit, and the most obvious benefit to Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei was the sharp rise in domestic salaries.

Zhang Yuanjun's previous salary for commercial films in China was 10 million, but now the studio offers 18 million, nearly doubled, don't be too expensive, many investors really recognize this price.

Some even feel that it is cheaper.

"If I want him to have this result, I will report 30 million."

Liu Yifei's previous salary was 2 million to 3 million, and now it is 7 million.

The crew of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" gritted their teeth and watched the two of them double their salaries and couldn't do anything, and then they had to call with a smile and ask the two to sign a contract.

On the 24th, Liu Yifei returned to China from Japan for publicity.

On Monday the 26th, Zhang Yuanjun finished "Never-ending" and landed in Beijing.

As soon as Zhang Yuanjun left the airport, he was surrounded by reporters.

"Inception is so good, let's say a few words."

"Will Leonardo come to China to promote?"

"Is it true that the Internet says that you have tripled your salary in a week?"

"The ratings of the premiere of "Snow Leopard" broke 1, will you still take on TV series in the future?"

Zhang Yuanjun wore sunglasses and ignored the reporter's questions.

"Go home or go back to work?" The driver asked.

"Let's go home." After Zhang Yuanjun finished answering, he rested.

Before Zhang Yuanjun closed his eyes and took two breaths, assistant Xiao Zhao sat down with two pieces of paper in his hand.

"You can stop in moderation, I just came back, can't you let me rest?"

"Do you think you're resting in this situation?" Xiao Zhao asked rhetorically.

Zhang Yuanjun knew that he didn't have the right to rest now: "At least don't arrange activities for me tonight." Xiao Zhang pleaded.

Xiao Zhao looked at Zhang Yuanjun's schedule: "In the evening, Yu Dong will pick you up and talk about "Dragon Gate Flying Armor". ”

"What is there to talk about, he pays me, I film him, didn't he say yes in the morning, what else to talk about." The absolute male protagonist of this play is Li Lianlian, just get him, there is no need to pull Zhang Yuanjun, "Is Yifei at home?" Liu Yifei previously said that he would accompany Zhang Yuanjun today, but he was worried that the young lady would release his pigeons temporarily.

"Yifei is in the magic capital, come back in the afternoon."

"What is she doing in the Mordor City?"

"Performance, "The Blind City" will be rehearsed this year, and she, the second female lead, won't be present? Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, your theater asked you to rehearse "Grand Hotel Suite". ”

"Why don't you tell me directly?" In fact, if it is strictly in accordance with the brokerage contract, the studio has no right to make the drama arrangements for Yuanjun.

The theater can directly tell Zhang Yuanjun that he wants him to rehearse.

"Who are you?" Xiao Zhao began to be yin and yang, "Cannes actor, national first-class actor, special care from the theater, how dare you come to you directly for rehearsals, you have to say to your face that you can't be rehearsed, how ugly it is." ”

This year is really too nervous, Zhang Yuanjun has not been to the theater a few times: "Next year, next year I will definitely take root in the theater and rehearse well." Hey, did I tell you! ”

"You can't tell me." Xiao Zhao smiled, "We can't make money from your dramas." ”

"Push Bernard on," Zhang Yuanjun said back to the topic, "I'll eat with Yifei at home tonight." Tell them to find a time to bring the contract to sign it in the next few days, after hanging people for so long, the price has also risen, so be it. ”

"Good. Two magazine covers tomorrow morning, an interview. ...... afternoon" Xiao Zhao informed Zhang Yuanjun's itinerary in the coming week until the premiere of "Lone Agent", "Oh yes, Berner may also be eyeing your sister-in-law's film and television city." ”

Zhang Yuanjun wrinkled his brows: "Didn't I say that I can't intervene, the Tao here is complicated to death." ”

"Yu Dong may have talked to your sister-in-law or even your father, but it seems that he didn't talk about it."

"Nonsense, the film and television city has already selected the land in Hongdu, and it will start construction next year, and now it is basically a fool's dream to enter the scene, and the boss and the provincial government behind will agree."

Not long after, Zhang Yuanjun's car returned to Dongshan Villa.

The house has been cleaned in advance.

Xiao Zhao complained again: "You don't deserve to live in such a good house, how many days have you lived this year?" ”

Zhang Yuanjun nodded and responded: "Also, I haven't been at home for a few days this year, but it's a pity that I have such a good house." ”

This is the reason why Zhang Yuanjun has never invited a nanny, because of his professional relationship, he and his girlfriend are at home for a few days all year round, invite an aunt to come back, and spend money to invite her to live in her own house?
