Chinese entertainment: What's wrong with actresses wanting to improve?

Chapter 110 Zhang Guoqing's Merit

The success of "The Unknown" will once again make Ning Hao, who was already somewhat famous, even more famous.

Throughout the roadshow, he never looked up from his lips.

Meanwhile, the value of the creative team behind "The Unknown" skyrocketed once again.

Especially Huang Bo, Lei Jiayin, and Zeng Li, who has been receiving numerous film offers since returning from Berlin.

The first two are known for having two blockbuster films a year, while Zeng Li is known for both her awards and box office success in the film industry.

Capital values ​​those who can bring them profits the most.

So after the huge success of "The Unknown", film and television companies of all sizes contacted him openly and secretly.

They all tried to poach them to their own companies.

The huge success of "The Unknown" has once again put Fu Yibai, who is far away in Los Angeles, in the spotlight.

Domestic phone calls come in like they're free.

Most of them are owners of film and television companies who want to participate in Chenxi's upcoming projects.

Because anyone with eyes can see Chenxi's ability to create blockbuster products.

Three films a year, all of which were blockbusters with low investment, low risk, and huge returns.

Nobody's a fool; everyone wants a piece of the pie.

Besides the film and television company bosses who called, there were also some celebrities who had met Fu Yibai once before.

After dealing with several important figures, Fu Yibai turned off his phone.

Previously, Liu Yan was by his side, and he could entrust her with handling some unimportant phone calls.

And now, beside him are two foreign women who don't speak any Chinese.

"I have something to tell you."

"Um?"

"Um?"

Annie, who was reading the script, and Scarlett, who was eating, looked up at Fu Yibai.

"If you want to have a better future, you should learn some Chinese, at least to ensure smooth communication."

"Chinese?"

"what?"

"Whether you listen to me or not is up to you; I'm just giving you a suggestion."

I'm going to work now. You all stay home and rest.

The two women nodded, but it was unclear whether they had taken Fu Yibai's words to heart.

On December 4th, the Golden Horse Awards opened, with Zhang Jiandong and Wang Peng leading the creative teams of "Black Coal, Thin Ice" and Ning Hao leading the creative teams of "Crazy Stone" to participate in this year's Golden Horse Awards.

The Golden Horse is much better than the Golden Rooster.

Although Fu Yibai did not participate, the Golden Horse Awards still awarded him a Best Director award.

Ning Hao, on the other hand, was rather pitiful. Although he was a box office hit, he didn't win any awards and was a runner-up throughout the competition.

However, this guy was very ambitious. He even called Fu Yibai to congratulate him and said that he was going into seclusion to study a book that could win an award.

On December 15, "Love is Not Blind" officially ended its theatrical run.

The final box office revenue successfully exceeded 2.5 million yuan, reaching 2.54 million yuan.

During this period, the box office of "The Unknown" also successfully exceeded 50 million.

However, the release of "A World Without Thieves" greatly impacted the box office performance of "The Nameless".

Therefore, it is unlikely that the final box office will break 100 million.

However, both Fu Yibai and Ning Hao were already very satisfied with this result.

Moreover, it wasn't just "A World Without Thieves" that influenced "The Nameless," but "The Nameless" also influenced "A World Without Thieves."

The close proximity of the release dates of the two comedy films directly led to the poor opening day box office performance of "A World Without Thieves," which only grossed 285 million yuan.

After all, very few people could go to the cinema to watch movies in 04.

Many people only set aside a budget for one movie ticket per month.

If it weren't for the loyal audience of Feng Xiaogang's comedies waiting for the release of "A World Without Thieves," the opening day box office might have been even lower.

As a result, the Wang brothers looked extremely grim during the company meeting.

Feng Kuzi, who is also a director, didn't look too good either.

A junior film grossed 753 million on its opening day, while his big-budget production only grossed 285 million on its opening day.

While others are making a fortune, he's struggling to even break even.

What's most infuriating is that he was truly caught in the crossfire of a fight between big shots.

The Lunar New Year film market is only so big, so after "A World Without Thieves" was scheduled for release, Chenxi put "The Nameless" before it.

They directly devoured a large portion of the Lunar New Year film market.

He had no way to resist; he couldn't possibly postpone his schedule.

There's also Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu Hustle" waiting in the wings.

That would be an even fiercer tiger; if it were released after "Kung Fu Hustle," it probably wouldn't even smell the meat.

On December 16, Fu Yibai boarded a plane back to China.

Because I had promised Han Shanping that I would attend the celebration party for "Love is Not Blind," and I also had some company matters to attend to.

The TV series "Empresses in the Palace", "My Own Swordsman", and "Soldiers Sortie" have all finished filming.

The fastest post-production for "Soldiers Sortie" is almost finished.

In addition, the two films we invested in last year, "Chinese Paladin 1" and "Bright Sword", have completed post-production and are currently looking for TV stations to hold purchase meetings.

Fu Yibai also plans to take this opportunity to establish relationships with various local TV stations to pave the way for the company's three TV dramas.

Beijing Capital International Airport.

When Fu Yibai walked out of the terminal, the air in Beijing was dry and cold, a stark contrast to the warm and humid air in Los Angeles.

Liu Yan was already waiting at the exit. When she saw him come out, she immediately went up to him and took the suitcase from his hand.

"Mr. Fu, did you have a safe journey?"

"Hmm, have you missed me?"

A hint of shyness flashed in Liu Yan's eyes.

"Um."

"Come home with me tonight."

"Okay~"

The two got into the car, which drove onto the East Third Ring Road, and familiar street scenes flashed past the car window.

"President Fu, the celebration banquet is scheduled for tomorrow night at the Kunlun Hotel."

"President Han has made a big splash this time; most companies in the industry have received invitations."

"Old Han is just concerned about his image. If he likes it, let him do it."

We will cooperate fully.

"Mr. Fu, how long will you be staying this time?"

"Me? About half a month."

"That's such a short trip! Can I go abroad with you?"

"Going abroad with me? How's your English?"

Fu Yibai did not refuse Liu Yan's request; he did need an assistant to help him with things.

Anne and Scarlett were only companions in life; they couldn't help him at all in his work.

"Very well, you forgot, I started out as a TV host."

"Okay, you can come with me next time I go to Los Angeles."
