Chapter 504: 8800 million guaranteed
Beijing News
"'The Invisible Guest' is set to win the Golden Bear, and Li Chen is expected to complete the three major European Grand Slams."
"Today, the new play "The Invisible Guest" by Li Chen, which has been shrouded in mystery, was completed. The main creators praised the film as the king of suspense films."
"Li Chen revealed that the film will complete post-production and be submitted to the review bureau at the end of the month, and may be scheduled for release at the end of March."
Chinese Police wrapped up filming today. Li Chen and Han Saping specially rushed to the crew to attend the wrap-up ceremony.
It's been more than two months since the filming started, and Li Chen hasn't come to visit the set yet, which is a bit unreasonable.
After all, Big Brother Long is the leading actor.
But when Li Chen and Han Sanping arrived.
All I heard was: "Chinese police, kill it!"
As Tian Zhuangzhuang completed the shooting of the last shot.
This action, crime, police and gangster film produced by Rongchen Pictures and China Film Group has completed its two and a half month shooting period.
The three leading actors, Cheng Long, Zhu Yawen and Tang Yan, were all smiling.
This is the second time Zhu Yawen has played a villain after "The Sound of Wind".
Tian Zhuangzhuang chose Zhu Yawen between Deng Chao and Zhu Yawen, which was considered an explanation to the school.
Otherwise, it would be a disgrace for the teachers at Beijing Film Academy to choose actors from the opposite side.
With Tang Yan and Deng Chao's situation, it's difficult to live.
Li Chen looked very tired from watching Tian Zhuangzhuang, so it seems that he needs to replace him in the next part. This crime theme has a lot of action scenes, and Tian Zhuangzhuang is a bit overwhelmed.

"The Dream of Hualu is currently being broadcast on CCTV-4.2. This TV series, written and directed by Li Chen, has achieved an incredible average viewership rating of 10%, becoming the TV series with the highest viewership rating on CCTV- in the past years."
"Relevant CCTV officials recently told our reporter that the breakthrough in the ratings of this drama is due to the excellent production level of Rongchen Pictures."
"The acting skills of young actors such as Liu Yifei, Zhu Yilong, and Deng Jiajia are excellent, and the leading actors did not use stand-ins or dubbing, and the storyline was very good, which is why the record was broken."

"According to the latest statistics from the distributor China Film Group, the box office of Let the Bullets Fly on its first day of release was 3018 million yuan. The distributor is currently working hard to prepare additional copies."
"Zhang Dayong from China Film Distribution Company revealed that he spent the entire night yesterday receiving calls from cinema managers across the country asking for urgent additional copies."
"Many cinemas regretted not scheduling enough screenings, and today the number of screenings and screenings will be greatly increased."
When "Bullet" was released, the person who was most hurt was undoubtedly director Chen.
Not only was its box office crushed by Jiang Wen, but its reputation was also far behind.
Both Mtime.com and Douban gave "Bullet" high scores. Douban's opening score was 9.2, while "Orphan" only had 6.1, which was like celebrating Children's Day for an old baby.
The most hurtful thing is that before director Chen Da's "Orphan" was released, he was backstabbed by his ex-wife Hong Huang: "The Orphan of Zhao" was too complicated.
He even mocked the bloopers in "Orphan" on Weibo.
But when "Bullet" was released, Hong Huang strongly supported "Bullet" and posted a long message on Weibo: Jiang Wen will definitely win the New Year's Eve party this month.
The plot is compact, the lines are worth pondering, and he has unique imagination. The best thing is that he speaks some human language, and the plot is not difficult to understand. The lack of shortcomings is the shortcoming of this movie, which is too thoughtful.
"Director Kaige is so, so miserable." Liu Yifei was browsing Weibo and felt a little sympathetic for the elderly Director Chen.
Before Li Chen could say anything, Jiang Wen called.
This old guy went to watch the midnight show of "Bullet" early yesterday morning. It was reported online that a female fan even asked to bow to him to thank him for making such a great movie.
As soon as the call was connected, Li Chen teased Jiang Wen: "Director Jiang, did the female fan just bow? Didn't she hug her? Give her a kiss as well."
Liu Yifei pinched Li Chen hard, her mind was full of thoughts.
Jiang Wen laughed: "Of course I hugged her, but I will stop at a certain point, just a certain point."
"Haha, if I hadn't had enough copies, I would have definitely broken your and Feng Xiaogang's records yesterday!"
"No, Director Jiang, if you are so confident, why did you go to the midnight show?"
"I heard people say that you saw the audience spontaneously clapping and were overjoyed during the movie."
Jiang Wen was exposed by Li Chen and laughed so hard that he couldn't stop. Jiang Wen was arrogant to begin with, and when "Bullet" came out, Jiang Wen became even more arrogant, and he was angry at everything.
Miss Liu frowned and shook her head slightly, indicating to Li Chen to give Director Jiang some face.
As soon as "Bullet" was released, both celebrities and passers-by applauded it.
The box office in the first week was 1.7 million, and Chen Kaige's "Orphan" is only about 1.8 million now.
There is no doubt that the revenue will exceed 200 million in five days.
If it weren't for "Charlotte", Jiang Wen's "Bullet" would undoubtedly be a record-breaker.
Even Feng Xiaogang's "Earthquake" can't compare to it.
At the premiere of "Cold War", the appearance of Wang Da and Wang Xiao surprised Li Chen.
Yesterday was the premiere of If You Are the One 2.
Although Li Chen did not go, he still heard Feng Xiaogang's wild words.
He didn't take "Cold War" seriously at all.
He only regarded Jiang Wen's "Bullet" as his only competitor in the Lunar New Year box office.
One sentence: Let the bullet fly for a few days.
There was a kind of blind arrogance and confidence in his tone.
Feng Xiaogang does have full confidence in Shanghai and Hong Kong films.
If there is one person in the Hong Kong circle who can rival Feng Xiaogang in terms of box office, it must be Stephen Chow.
Li Chen himself does not think that "Cold War" can beat "Bullet" and "Non-2", after all, the themes of the latter two are comedy themes that are most suitable for the Lunar New Year period.
If it was "Charlotte" or "Lost in Thailand", and Feng Xiaogang dared to be so arrogant, Li Chen would immediately fight back and slap him in the face.
"Boss Han, these two brothers must have eaten bee shit to be laughing so happily."
Han Sanping snorted lightly: "I didn't eat bee poop, but I ate Zhou Xingchi."
"Zhou Xingchi?" Li Chen's mind moved, could it be "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"?
Han Sanping nodded and said, "These two brothers are really courageous. They won the bid for 8800 million yuan."
"Bigao Group? The one that Zhou Xingchi used to go public through a backdoor listing?" Li Chen reacted.
Zhou Xingchi and the two Wangs met each other, which was a perfect match. They were all after money.
The minimum guarantee is 8800 million, so the box office must be at least 3 million for Huayi to get a share.
Judging from Zhou Xingchi’s current highest box office in mainland China of 1.6 million, these two brothers do have some courage.
At this point, we can clearly see the future market trends and Zhou Xingchi's potential.
"What are you laughing at?" Han Sanping found the smile on Li Chen's face very strange.
"It's okay. I'm happy for these two brothers. I found Director Yimou, and these two brothers found Zhou Xingchi."
"You know what, he and Feng Xiaogang are the only team that can compete with me and Director Yimou."
"If You Are the One 2" and "Cold War" were released nationwide on the same day.
Excluding "The Lost Tomb", together with "Bullet", "Orphan" and "The Laughing Man", the five major dramas of the Lunar New Year period have been assembled.
On the 22nd, the cinema's screening schedule was very reasonable.
《非诚勿扰2》占33%、《寒战》31%、《让子弹飞》占28%、《赵氏孤儿》占4%、《精绝古城》占3%、《大笑江湖》等占1%。
As for the box office of "Orphan" and "Big Laugh".
The former's box office is stuck at 1.8 million, and there's no chance of it making million.
The latter's box office of 1.54 million yuan made the film's producer Bona and Zhao Benshan himself very satisfied.
The next day, the first-day box office figures for "Not 2" and "Cold War" were released.
Neither of them beat "Bullet", but "Non-Ghost 2" had a first-day box office of 2650 million, which was about 500 million higher than "Cold War".
