Chapter 413: Running Man Concludes
"Avatar" continued to lead the weekly box office, earning 7.2 million yuan in three weeks in mainland China.
Records in various voting bases in Asia are also being broken one after another.
Scalper tickets for the IMAX version once sold for over ten thousand yuan.
Some people even flew to see the IMAX version of Avatar.
Wanda took the lead and made a fortune.
Now no one doubts the 10 billion bet, and everyone wants to know what the upper limit of this drama will be.
The distributor announced once again that Avatar will be delayed until March.
The eight major cinema chains even suspected that Li Chen had known about this for a long time, which was why he made this bet with them.
In a word, Leo is nothing!
In the last episode of "Running Man", Yang Mi and Hu Ge were the flying guests and promoted "Chinese Paladin III" which will be aired on Lizhi TV on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
In the show, one played Guo Jingge and the other played Huang Rongmi, and they made a perfect couple.
So much so that today, when the actors from the crew of "Low IQ Crime" met Yang Mi, they all asked the same question.
"Mi Mi, are you two really acting like this?"
"Brother Bo, I'll say it again, it's really not true! We are just good friends!"
"Good friends are just boyfriend and girlfriend. The word 'good' is very descriptive, Mimi."
Yang Mi gritted her teeth and repeated this sentence like a parrot to appease the gossipy Huang Bo.
During the lunch break, Zeng Jia half-jokingly and half-reminded, "That's right, Mimi, you must not learn from that Yuanyuan."
Yang Mi stroked her hair and said confidently, "I know, don't worry, Lao Hu is not a senior, we both know it."
Zeng Jia used Gao Yuanyuan as an example because she was afraid that Yang Mi would make a mistake and announce her boyfriend, which would cause her popularity and resources to plummet.
She has been busy promoting her drama "Good Rain" starring South Korean actors recently. The South Korean actors didn't even come to the mainland.
Only Gao Yuanyuan is allowed to perform a solo.
Netizens were even more disdainful, saying that this was a rotten movie that had already been released in South Korea last year and was now thinking of making money in the mainland again this year.
Both Hu Ge and Yang Mi are in the rising period of their careers. Hu Ge's drama version of "The Myth" at the beginning of the year was a huge hit on CCTV-8.
It’s a pity that Boss Yang miscalculated, and the beauty trap didn’t impress Hu Ge.
Cai Yinong is not someone who is easy to get along with.
Even though Hu Ge was not deeply grateful to Cai Yinong for his recognition and support, he was still grateful.
What's more, his marriage with Yang Mi was also due to The Legend of Sword and Fairy III.
At the end of Running Man, the seven brothers each posted a message of gratitude on Weibo.
After one season of "Running Man", Li Chen's words became a reality.
The seven of them have experienced tremendous changes in their film pay, appearance fees and endorsements.
The number of fans on Weibo is increasing steadily.
This winter, if you are still racking your brains and racking your brains to write a blog, you are out.
'Sneck scarf' has become a popular trend.
Nowadays, if you see someone typing away on their cell phone keyboard while walking down the street or in the office, it is very likely that the text message is being sent to a Weibo server.
The artists of Rongchen Pictures followed suit. Both the boss and the boss’ wife registered on Weibo. What reason do they have not to register?
Huayi also seemed to have teamed up with Rongchen Pictures, and a group of stars including Li Qiaoqiao, Xu Ruoxuan and others followed closely behind.
Since I can’t catch up with your Rongchen Pictures in terms of popularity, I will compete with you in terms of topicality.
The Weibo pioneer of Rongchen Pictures is Yang Mi, while that of Huayi is Yao Dazui who is about to sign the contract.
Although Yang Mi's mouth is not as big as Yao Chen's, Yang Mi has a great figure and is very fierce!
You are sexy and I am approachable, let's compete for attention.
I haven't read a decent book in a while. This is how people degenerate... I want to save myself. I'll buy a copy of "Three Hundred Tang Poems" later!"
——Yao Chen, who calls himself "Boiled Egg", makes fun of himself
Wearing a police uniform, walking outside in -6 degrees Celsius, my heart was filled with excitement:-)
—— Yang Mi, wearing the seductive uniform, holds her head high and puffs out her chest, and acts like a spoiled child on Weibo
The first season of "Running Man" has ended. I really like the nickname everyone gave me: walking hormone. I am finally not Wang Xiaojian anymore. Thank God and thank the earth.
Looking forward to the brothers reuniting in the second season.
——Muscle man Zhu Yawen expressed his feelings on Weibo
As for the three major producers, especially Blueberry TV, the entire station was in a state of excitement.
So much so that when the director walked around the station, he felt that the employees' smiles when they saw him were more sincere.
"Zhong Tai, it's hard to negotiate for the second season. Rongchen Pictures won't budge at all."
Zhong Tai said cheerfully: "What's wrong with talking about it? It's because we are so cautious."
"Didn't you see the smiles on the employees' faces? That's the power of money, haha."
The deputy director felt relieved after hearing the boss's statement and smiled, "Yes, everyone is talking about this year's year-end bonus and bonus." "So, there is nothing to say. No matter how expensive the second season is, we must get it."
"I heard that Thailand, Singapore and Formosa also intend to buy out the copyright of Running Man."
"If you don't want to, there will be someone willing to be the scapegoat." Zhong Tai's attitude was firm, and it became easier for his subordinates to deal with him.
The two variety shows not only brought huge economic benefits to Blueberry Channel, but also brought extremely high attention and ratings.
Especially the latter, which is what Zhongtai values most.
For the first time, Blueberry Channel ranked first among national satellite TV stations in ratings for its prime-time variety show.
Zhong Tai went to Beijing to attend a meeting and was very proud of himself in the bureau.
The variety show business has had a good start, and the TV drama business also achieved great success last year.
The unexpected surprise of "Insidious" was beyond everyone's expectations.
On the contrary, the reputation and ratings of "The Regiment Commander", which cost a lot of money, were not as good as expected.
Sina Entertainment News
"Last Friday, the first season of Zhejiang Satellite TV's "Running Man" came to a perfect end. The seven brothers have been working hard for victory for 15 episodes."
"But in the final battle, he was in agony and struggled to start, and the originally hilarious running made the audience scream with heartbreak."
"In the summary, Zhu Yawen was praised as "serious, responsible, and full of responsibility"!
"Thousands of netizens have expressed their expectation to see them continue to run in the second season of "Running Man" and pass on their positive energy and manly power to the audience."
Beijing Daily News
"After The Voice of China was introduced to the United States by Warner, an insider revealed that Running Man is expected to be introduced to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand."
Regarding the specific revenue of the first season of "Running Man", Rongchen Pictures did not disclose the specific financial data as it is a trade secret.
But it does not prevent netizens from doing some calculations for Rongchen Pictures online.
Netizens carefully dug out all the merchants and products that appeared in "Running Man".
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are almost covered by the dog owners in all walks of life in the country.
According to conservative estimates, the first season of "Running Man" brought 500 million in net profits to the three major producers.
For the exclusive sponsorship alone, Anta offered 8000 million in exclusive sponsorship fees.
"Fuck, who is the listed company?" Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but swear.
The envy, jealousy and hatred in my heart cannot be washed away even if you give everything in your heart.
If "The Voice of China" and "Running Man" were owned by Huayi, Huayi's stock would have soared to the sky.
At least there should be a daily limit.
The brothers' wealth is about to take a big step forward.
Wang Zhongjun also sighed. If there was anyone in the entertainment industry who gave both brothers a headache, it would definitely be Li Chen.
He dared to guarantee it as long as Rongchen Pictures released the news of its listing.
The investor would definitely try his best to give money to Li Chen.
The two brothers didn't know yet that Li Chen had already taken down Zhang Yimou without making any noise.
Otherwise, you will vomit blood like Duichuanchang in The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
After receiving the call from Zhang Yimou, Li Chen was a little puzzled. Didn't they just meet two days ago? Why did he want to meet again? Could it be that Zhang Yimou changed his mind again?
"How about this, Director Zhang, if you don't mind, you can come over to my house. It happens to be the weekend today, and Yifei and I are both here."
The fireplace in the living room makes the room as warm as spring.
Liu Yifei, who was curled up on the sofa with her legs showing her sparkling toes, immediately pricked up her ears when she heard the word "Director Zhang".
There is probably only one person in the circle who can be called Director Zhang by her fiancé.
But when did these two become so close? Didn’t Li Chen just criticize Director Zhang’s “Three Guns”?
Zhang Yimou only gave it a brief consideration and then nodded in agreement.
This made Li Chen feel relieved, at least nothing unexpected had happened.
Otherwise, Zhang Yimou would definitely not want to come home, and would definitely mind Miss Liu's presence.
"Director Zhang? Director Yimou?" As soon as Li Chen hung up the phone, Miss Liu took two barefoot steps towards Li Chen.
"Besides him, who else?" Li Chen did not hide it from Miss Liu.
"Director Yimou is coming to our house? What's the matter?"
"What's the matter? It might be a major life event!"
Li Chen was just joking, but who would have thought that his words hit the mark.
