Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Nine
In May, the global box office of "Terror Cruise" slowly stopped growing and finally settled at US$243 million.
Mainly because of the big market of Neon, it was released almost a month later than in the United States. It was only released at the end of March. It was inevitable that there would be the impact of pirated images leaking out. Fortunately, after it was released, it received rave reviews and moviegoers rushed to
Recommended, and finally contributed 2.05 billion yen in box office.
Ahem, two billion yen sounds ridiculous, but according to the current exchange rate, it is just over 20 million US dollars.
But this result can also be said to be good.
Because you have to know that according to the results of previous years, if the US box office for the whole year is 10 billion US dollars, Neon is almost 2.5 billion, and the domestic box office is 1.5 billion. The box office market is not the same size as the US.
Moreover, "Horror Cruise" does not have the bonus of Chinese people in Neon, so it is not easy to win this box office.
But if you want to say that Lin Hao is not popular in Neon...
That definitely doesn't exist.
Not to mention that in recent years, he frequently appeared in movies directed by domestic majors. "House of Flying Daggers" sold 2.2 billion yen at the Japanese box office that year. In recent years, Lin Hao has also attracted great attention in Hollywood blockbusters.
It’s not news that the Japanese value beauty.
For various reasons, Lin Hao's popularity is well known there, including several fan groups.
It's pretty good to say that. In fact, his movies have not been promoted much in Neon, and the promotion only lasts for a day or two. And this time, the three-no movie "Horror Cruise" is completely single-handedly directed by an unknown director.
, there are no other big names, no good genres, but it actually performed well at the Neon box office, which made this group of fans so excited that they organized a group and ran to Tokyo Tower to put up a banner:
Boss Lin, you are so awesome!
...
"Hey, I can't tell, but you are quite popular in Neon. It's okay, Star Lin."
In Hongcun, Anhui, Lin Hao was lying leisurely and basking in the sun.
Because his wife was filming the movie version of "Wulin Gaiden" here, Lin Hao naturally wanted to come over to visit the team while finishing his work - Zeng Li originally thought that filming was very hard, but he was idle.
While waiting for the movie, she saw this news, and Balabala asked: "And "Inception" also has neon scenes, right?"
Lin Hao changed his posture and said, "Yes."
"now it's right."
Zeng Li immediately became interested, smoothed his hair, and turned around with bright eyes: "When you go there, will there be a fan group to pick you up?"
"How old am I? I don't care about that."
Lin Hao was helpless. He was 32 years old now, not 22, and he no longer cared about these formal things.
"Alright alright."
"that..."
While the two were chatting, someone suddenly came over and asked carefully: "Um, Sister Li, Brother Lin, can I get Brother Lin's autograph?"
"Ah, just go to him directly." Zeng Li smiled and pushed Ni Hongjie: "Hongjie, are you so polite?"
"Oh, Sister Li, I..."
"Yes, I have to thank you for taking care of Li Li." When Lin Hao heard this, he also got up: "Come on, come on, sign your name, right? Give it to me."
"No, no, it's Sister Li who takes care of us." Ni Hongjie quickly denied hearing this. Looking at Lin Hao's signature, a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead: "And I didn't take the photo for long."
"But the characters are quite exciting, Wushuang, I remember them."
"Uh-huh."
"...Hey, okay, how about it? Are you still waiting for the show? Let's chat for a while. Li Li and I are bored here." Lin Hao sent out the invitation.
Ni Hongjie hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said: "No, Brother Lin. I just want to say... If you have any new plays, you can come to me. I love acting and I can act in anything."
Lin Hao was stunned for a moment, and then quickly responded: "Ah, okay, I hope we can cooperate if there is a chance."
...
Ni Hongjie, who looked nervous, ran away quickly.
He comes in a hurry and goes in a hurry without taking away a single cloud. For those who don’t know, I thought he was a star-chasing fan.
Seeing her leaving, Zeng Li sighed and shook his head: "She was just too polite, and I felt like I just couldn't let go. This is true in acting, and it's true in life as well."
"Well, no wonder, she is quite suitable for the role of Wushuang." Lin Hao nodded.
The two of them had nothing to do and made some comments.
Zeng Li said that she still has the sensitivity of an actress, and she should retain this sensitivity. This kind of feeling is very rare among 30-year-old actresses, and it is an advantage.
Lin Hao felt that there was an element of lack of confidence in her.
Maybe it was because of his age, maybe because of his acting skills, but anyway, this was the most profound feeling he had when he first came into contact with Ni Hongjie.
But he just came to visit the class, and he didn’t know anything else...
In the end it was settled.
As I said before, Lin Hao is just here to visit the class.
In the afternoon, he stayed with his wife waiting for the scene, and then watched her filming together until about eight o'clock in the evening.
Everyone in the crew was very envious of the relationship between the two of them, and they all had kind words and asked for advice, which was quite lively.
The filming of "Wulin Gaiden" itself was indeed not complicated, and the atmosphere on set was very relaxed.
Of course, more importantly, Lin Hao is also very approachable.
Not long after, from this afternoon only Ni Hongjie had the courage to come over to test, and by evening, everyone was already actively cooperating with him:
This is a living boss, a legend in the Chinese film industry, a character that no one can usually encounter. If you miss today, you don’t know when the next time will be, so I am very active in taking photos.
The funniest ones were Bai Zhantang, oh no, Sha Yi, who made a funny pose: "Okay! With this pose, Lin Hao and I are just a little bit less handsome!"
...
During the last week of May, Lin Haodu stayed on the set. As a family member of an actor, or as a big-name actor, he witnessed almost the entire filming process of this movie.
emmm, how should I say it?
When this movie was first planned, some people said that this movie was a money-making project. It was just a few people getting together to make a movie and selling their emotions to make a box office. But in fact, it is somewhat
Sincere.
Director Shang Jing, screenwriter Ning Caishen, and basically all the original cast members.
It will take another three months to shoot, which is even longer than the shooting time of many movies.
This will never be possible again:
When many TV series are popular, a movie version will be released. It turns out that this movie version is actually a follow-up to the TV series. A bunch of popular artists with not very good acting skills were hired to make a movie version.
From the male and female protagonists to the behind-the-scenes team, almost everything has been changed.
Trickery.
