China Entertainment started from cutting off the Hu in 1995

I invested money in two movies, one was a co-production with Xi Film Studio and the other was a co-production with Xiaoxiang Studio. Wu Yuchen was quite satisfied with both of them.

Although That Man, That Mountain, That Dog won't make much money in China, it can definitely make a fortune in Neon, and it can also win many awards at home and abroad. Golden Roosters and Five Ones are all beckoning.

As for Nothing to Do, it gave him a heads-up and asked someone to buy back the rights to the TV series The Happy Life of Zhang Damin. This TV series was also quite popular. It was well-received and well-received, and he even won it. Golden Eagle Festival, Feitian Award and Chunyan Award and many other awards.

Teacher Liang Guanhua, oh, also known as Di Renjie and Di Pangpang, is also well-known to the audience for playing the leading actor Zhang Damin in the play.

The Detective Di Renjie series is also a popular series. You can buy it from the screenwriter when the time comes!

Get Zhang Zijian here, and when Di Pangpang comes and says, Yuanfang, what do you think?, won't the ratings keep rising?

After thinking about these future plans, Wu Yuchen became concerned about the company's current projects.

For The Mansion, Kang Honglei and the producer were already working with Guo Baochang, so he didn't need to worry about it. Guo Baochang had enough connections and he could recruit a group of big names to help him.

There is also a film called The Two Proud Men, which was in preparation last year. However, due to seasonal reasons, filming will not start until this spring. However, the basic crew members have been confirmed.

Wu Yuchen looked at the cast list of Peerless Two Prouds.

Xiao Yu'er has already made an appointment with Lin Zhiying. He is currently at a low point and will naturally not refuse the opportunity to play the leading role in Gu Long's martial arts masterpiece.

Hua Wuque decided on Yan Kuan, who was still a freshman this year. After going to see it, Li Guoli found that the costume style was very good, so he made the decision.

Tie Xinlan is Li Xiaoran. When Wu Yuchen asked her to choose, she originally thought she might choose Little Pepper, but she didn't expect to choose Tie Xinlan, but it was okay.

Among the male and female protagonists in the previous version of Peerless Two Prides, the one who was criticized the most was Tie Xinlan. The main reason was that Chen Derong used Qiong Yao style to portray Tie Xinlan, which made the whole character too pretentious and unnatural. Compared with Li Xiaoran, Chen Derong If it looks more sassy, ​​it will definitely have a different effect.

Li Guoli chose Li Qihong for the role of Little Pepper, who was Guo Xiang in 1995's The Condor. Li Qihong herself is a sweet girl with a bit of a quirky personality, and she successfully portrayed the cute little pepper who dares to love and hate.

It can also be seen from the above main characters that the protagonist group this time is composed of actors from mainland China, Bay Area, and Hong Kong Island. It is obvious that the preparations were aimed at the markets of the three places.

Li Guoli also followed this principle in the selection of other supporting roles. Wu Yuchen is quite reassured about Li Guoli. He has rich experience and good vision, and the selection of people is basically suitable.

However, one of the actors caught Wu Yuchen's attention. The actor invited by the Grand Palace Master of Yihua Palace was Zhou Haimei. This was different from the original version in the previous life!

Wu Yuchen has no objection to this substitution. Li Guoli is a Hong Kong director, so it is not surprising that he is willing to use more Hong Kong actors. And Zhou Haimei is also very suitable for the role of Yao Yue.

Just seeing Zhou Haimei, Wu Yuchen still felt a little regretful in his heart. In his previous life, he just passed away after his 57th birthday.

Many young viewers may not know Zhou Haimei, but she is known as the most beautiful Zhou Zhiruo, the Bai Yueguang in the hearts of a generation. Even Jin Yong said after reading it that he would have rewritten the ending of Zhou Zhiruo's novel if he had known about it, but he actually changed it later. Already...

At the same time, Wu Yuchen also thought that Zhou Haimei seemed to have contracted lupus erythematosus this year. After fighting for 25 years, he still died. Lupus erythematosus sounds like a skin disease, but it is actually an immune system disease that cannot be cured. Wu Yuchen was helpless about this.

But the cause of the disease is uncertain. It may be related to heredity, or the environment, or it may be something serious after she rested for a few days when she was originally sick. Wu Yuchen could only think that maybe Zhou Haimei would be able to avoid getting sick if he participated in Peerless Twins?

Wu Yuchen shook his head. He no longer thought about this kind of thing, so he should just go about his own business first.

A few days later, Wu Yuchen boarded a cross-country flight and headed to the United States again.

…

Oprah's Talk Show is currently one of the most popular programs in the United States. It has also been firmly in the top spot among American talk shows. This program has also allowed Oprah to become a talk show star from a poor black woman. Queen.

Oprah has previously invited many big names and stars to interview on the show, such as the King of Pop Michael Jackson, Forrest Gump Tom Hanks, Will Smith, etc.

And now, her show has welcomed the most popular man of recent times - Leonardo and, well, Stallone.

Oprah first gave DiCaprio a warm hug, and then said with a smile: I think now I am the envy of all women in the world!

Then Oprah joked to Stallone: ​​Oh, Sylvester, you know what? In fact, everyone hopes that Jack will appear with Jack, not Rambo~

Stallone laughed: I'm sorry to disappoint you, I hijacked Jack from the shredded meat!

Wow! Oprah made an exaggerated expression, and the audience below also laughed.

You mean kidnapping?

That's right, Leonardo is completely under my control now! Stallone said, stretching out a hand.

Oprah looked at DiCaprio again, and DiCaprio shrugged and made a helpless expression:

That's right, I'm completely under his control now~

What happened? Oprah responded with a look full of curiosity and curiosity.

This has to talk about a movie that Stallone and I starred in together, Sniper Phone Booth!

…

At this time, Wu Yuchen was watching the program being recorded in the background, and I have to say that the effect was very good. This is also the benefit of finding a big company to promote. If it were not Fox, even if the crew included DiCaprio and Stallone, it would be difficult to be on a program like The Oprah Show, which is equivalent to being directly in front of 20 million viewers. Advertised.

Of course, if it weren't for DiCaprio and Stallone, who have been in the spotlight recently, Oprah wouldn't have agreed to let them come. She doesn't accept everyone, and to put it bluntly, she wants to take advantage of the popularity.

Wu Yuchen doesn't care much about whether he can be on the show. He is the director behind the scenes, and the current promotion focus of Sniper Phone Booth should really be focused on these two people. It doesn't make much sense for him to be on the show.

The publicity work for Phone Booth went very smoothly this time. In fact, the publicity method was no different from usual, it was nothing more than newspapers, TV, posters, etc. However, because DiCaprio is currently very popular, it attracted special attention.

Leonardo VS Stallone, the ultimate showdown!

Stallone threatens to teach Leonardo a profound lesson!

Leonardo and Stallone make a desperate call!

Leonardo vs. Stallone vs. old or new!

There is no doubt that the main promotion effect of Sniper Phone Booth that completely revolves around these two people is also very good. Basically, the audience can remember it as soon as they see it.

Wow! Leonardo has a new movie released. I must go see it! This person just watched Titanic.

Ahhh! Leonardo, my Jack! a fanatic fan screamed.

The showdown between Leonardo and Stallone? It makes me emotional just thinking about it!

Is this a fight between Leonardo and Stallone? Can he beat Stallone? Some passers-by were also curious.

At the same time, for Sniper Phone Booth starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Stallone, the theater directly gave the opening number of 3,250. You must know that when Titanic was first released, the number of openings was not so large, but it was a 250-million-dollar production, while the production cost of Phone Booth was only 10,000 million.

Of course, most of the credit goes to DiCaprio, who is at the height of his popularity, and the other half goes to Stallone. After all, he is also a well-known veteran star, and he just had a high-grossing Black Hole Frequency.

Some of the reasons are due to the length of the movie. The total running time of Phone Booth is even less than 90 minutes, which is a shining point in the eyes of theaters. If you think about playing the 190-minute Titanic once, you can play Phone Booth twice. Cinema chains Fang is naturally happy.

…

Friday, February 20th, is the day Phone Booth is released.

Tom and Jerry walked into the cinema hall with a bucket of popcorn. As they walked around the theater, they heard the voices of many girls discussing excitedly:

Leonardo is so handsome! I love his Jack so much!

Oh! My heart broke when Jack sank!

Have you seen the poster of Leonardo's movie? Although his appearance is different from Jack's, I'm also fascinated by that bad-ass handsomeness!

Yes, Leon is so charming no matter what!

Tom couldn't help curling his lips when he heard the discussion among these girls. To be honest, his impression of Leonardo was not very good right now.

He was dragged to see Titanic by his girlfriend three times!

The first time was when it was first released. After watching it, he thought it was great and touching!

The second time was a week later, and he left happily. After all, the movie was very good and worth watching again.

The third time was on Valentine's Day last weekend, February 14th. His girlfriend insisted on watching it again, but he had nothing to say. However, her girlfriend actually called Leonardo with her eyes closed when she was excited in bed that night!

This really pissed Tom off. How could he have a good impression of Leonardo? !

So this time he didn't come to see it with his girlfriend at all. Instead, he took his good friend Jerry with him. After all, he is a loyal fan of Stallone. Moreover, I heard Stallone say on the show that he tortured Leonardo very badly, so he wanted to watch this movie.

After sitting down, his friend Jerry said to him enthusiastically:

I didn't expect to see a movie starring Leonardo and Stallone so soon. I really want to see how the two of them will fight!

Tom said with a stinky face: I hope Stallone can slap Leonardo's face!

Hey, man, I think you're just jealous of him~ Jerry said with a smile.

I don't, only those nymphomaniacs like this kind of pretty boy! A real man should be like Stallone! Tom said, clenching his fists.

Jerry shrugged and didn't argue with Tom. Didn't he see that the girls around him were staring at him with evil eyes?

Soon, the lights in the theater went out.

At the beginning of the movie, when the handsome little Li Zi appeared on the stage, many girls in the theater screamed.

So handsome!

So handsome!

So charming!

However, soon as the plot progressed rapidly and the audience became immersed in the film, these sounds disappeared.

This time, DiCaprio plays Stu, who is completely opposite to Jack in Titanic. He is not loyal to love at all, has a lover, and is full of lies, which surprised many viewers.

And soon, when he accidentally answered a call in a phone booth, as Stallone's voice rang out, DiCaprio's punishment and trial also came.

A sniper rifle was aimed at him from all around, and he also killed a gangster and scared Xiao Lizi, who didn't believe it, out of his mind.

People died on the street in the downtown area, the police came, and the media came too, but Xiao Lizi couldn't put down the phone, otherwise he would die, and he would become a murder suspect.

He became the focus of the whole city through live TV broadcast, and naturally his wife and lover also rushed to the scene...

All the viewers were infected by the plot of the film and the tension and horror created by it. They also followed the ups and downs of Li Zi's mood and couldn't take their eyes off to see how it will develop next.

The movie ends with Stallone leaving a meaningful smile on the screen next to the phone booth.

Tom breathed a long sigh of relief, and at this moment Jack beside him couldn't help but excitedly said:

This movie is so great! I never expected that a whole movie revolving around a phone booth could be so exciting!

Tom nodded in agreement: I was looking forward to when Stallone would appear at first, but I didn't expect that he wouldn't show up until the end.

But his voice was always there, controlling Leonardo throughout the whole process, which was really cool! And Leonardo's performance was also outstanding, especially the confessional monologue in the collapse state, which was simply amazing!

Tom curled his lips when he heard this, but did not refute his friend's words. Although he hated this pretty boy, he had to admit that his performance in the movie completely moved him. This pretty boy's acting skills are really good. He can not only play the affectionate Jack, but also control this kind of jerk.

At the same time, the female audience members who came to see Xiao Lizi were also chatting among themselves:

Leonardo is so great!

Although he made some mistakes at the beginning of the movie, in the end the prodigal son turned around. His monologue made me cry!

I will always support Leon!

…

In the room, Justin Wu, Leonardo and others were waiting for the box office results on the first day. Stallone was not there, and he went back to be with his daughter.

Compared with the nervousness and uneasiness he felt when waiting for the first-day results of Titanic two months ago, Leo is now in a particularly relaxed mood. Even if the movie fails, it won't have much impact on him. It's just a small production worth tens of millions. He is the leading actor in a 250 million blockbuster film!

And from his perspective, he can see that Sniper Phone Booth itself is also very exciting, and he believes that it will not be bad at the box office. To put it bluntly, DiCaprio believes that with his current appeal, this movie is bound to make money. It’s a matter of how much or how little it makes.

Wu Yuchen was also in a good mood. He smiled at Leonardo and asked:

Dear Leon, now your Titanic will face a severe challenge from Sniper Phone Booth, how do you feel now?

Nothing at all.

Xiao Lizi shrugged and said calmly:

No matter who wins, I will still be the weekly box office champion!

Leon, do you know? Your expression now really deserves a beating! Wu Yuchen laughed.

Xiao Lizi also showed a proud smile.

Now Titanic has won the box office championship for 10 consecutive weeks, with the North American box office exceeding 400 million US dollars. In the previous life, this record would have reached 15 weeks, which is three and a half months!

Think about it, from the time you started school until the end of your semester, one movie has always been the box office champion. It’s scary!

And just last week, because of Valentine's Day on February 14th, its single-week box office rebounded by nearly 10 million compared with the previous week. It is really unparalleled.

To be honest, Titanic can achieve this result because of the right time, place and people. Its super high quality is naturally the fundamental guarantee, but at the same time, it must be said that there were no high-quality movies released during this period, which allowed it to dominate for 15 consecutive weeks. You must know that its box office has dropped below 20 million per week in the next two weeks, but it can still win the championship.

But now Wu Yuchen will not complete the 15 weeks of Titanic again. 10 weeks is already good, and he is going to be the record breaker!

Soon, the staff came over with the box office data. Wu Yuchen took a look at the file and couldn't help but smile.

Seeing Wu Yuchen's expression, Xiao Lizi asked curiously: How much is the box office?

Wu Yuchen handed him the document directly, and Xiao Lizi looked at it intently:

Sniper Phone Booth, 16.68 million.

DiCaprio suddenly looked happy, clenched his fists and felt excited. Titanic only sold over 8 million on its first day, but now it's almost twice that!

This proves that even if Leonardo leaves Titanic, he can still achieve very dazzling results at the box office in a low-cost production.

It turns out that Leonardo DiCaprio was still a little hesitant about whether he was considered a top Hollywood star and whether he could enter the 20 million club. But this time after seeing the first-day box office of Sniper Phone Booth, he wanted to announce loudly that from now on he will be Leonardo DiCaprio. His salary can no longer be less than 20 million!

With the good results at the box office on Friday, the number of screens for Phone Booth was once again increased by 10% on Saturday, and its box office also reached 20.12 million. On Sunday, the number of screens remained unchanged and the box office dropped to 13.45 million normally.

50.25 million in the first three days of the weekend, the undisputed weekly box office champion.

As soon as this result came out, the whole of Hollywood and public opinion exploded!
