Chapter 127 Breaking 100 million in a week

However, Chu Yue still felt that some aspects of the play could be done better, for example, if there shouldn't be such a big explosion at the airport in the play, it directly affects the viewing of the whole play. He always felt that the explosion scene could not be used at will, and the explosion was actually a catharsis of the audience's emotions. Once the audience's emotions were tense to a certain extent, all emotions would be immediately vented with the explosion, and it would be a little troublesome to cultivate them.

The most important thing is that Chu Yue felt that this drama always lacked some very critical things, and what was missing was not the theme. In fact, this drama could not have a theme. But the drama still gave some other meanings. The most typical one was the conversation between Hu Jun and Liu Qingyun before his death. To be precise, since the two of them were not very familiar in the play, it was just a sign language scene. Hu Jun made gestures to let Liu Qingyun get on the plane and kill the terrorists. But it was this scene that made the film feel a little tragic.

He always felt that what he lacked was a kind of charm, a very powerful charm. If it weren't for the death of Hu Jun and Zhen Zidan in the play in the end, this drama might have been too much!

But this does not affect his judgment of his performance. In fact, his performance in this drama has basically taken shape. To be precise, the role of Lin Jingwen he interpreted has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the audience. This was a successful performance, and this time, his performance was quite successful!

He found that he really liked this job and the performance felt great. He liked that feeling, liked the feeling of creating characters in front of him, liked the feeling of creating the world, liked the feeling of making fraud in front of the whole world. At this moment, he vaguely had a goal to be a very excellent actor!

Major newspapers published comments from film critics, among which the critic named Luo Zhaoqi paid great attention to Chu Yue: "On the surface, the character Lin Jingwen only plays a lubricating role. He does not look like the male lead in the play, but that is only on the surface. Almost all important plays are closely related to him. In the play, he represents both mainlanders and Hong Kongers, and is an extremely important character. Chu Yue's interpretation of this character is very exciting. Without the ostentatiousness of the previous play, he is more restrained, making this character more readable!"

"From the perspective of pure action movies, this is a very exciting film, which won't give the audience a real rest in a hundred minutes! But from another perspective, this drama does lack some very important charm, and a directorial spirit and style that runs through the whole process." Luo Zhaoqi is simply a magical one, and what he said coincides with what Chu Yue thought.

"That's great, great!" Luo Xinzhong was so excited that he jumped straight. Now, one week after the film was released, the box office in mainland China reached 30 million, and with the number of episodes increased, it was approaching 40 million. In Taiwan, the box office of this drama can be regarded as a Chinese-language film with excellent box office results in Taiwan in recent years. In a week, it was as high as 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Although this figure is very different from the results of Hollywood blockbusters and Japanese blockbusters in Taiwan, this is a rare achievement of Chinese-language films in Taiwan in recent years.

What is even more amazing is that the box office of this drama in Japan and South Korea is 30 million and 10 million Hong Kong dollars respectively. Of course, such a figure is not surprising. At least the box office champion in Japan is more than 200 million US dollars, but relatively speaking, it is indeed quite surprising! If the box office in Hong Kong is included, it will be as high as 18 million. In one week, the box office in Southeast Asia exceeded 100 million!

It only took a week to make the box office of "Flight Service 2" in Southeast Asia exceeded 100 million Hong Kong dollars. What else is more wonderful than this? However, if you really think about it, it is actually a shame. The small South Korean historical box office record is as high as 80 million US dollars (actually 60 million, but according to the current trend, it is not too difficult to 80 million in a few years)!

So, considering these numbers, Chu Yueda is boring, and the Asian box office is only 100 million, so excited. If those who have exceeded one billion US dollars in the global box office, what should they do? No matter what, these data are too different from other data. At this moment, Chu Yue suddenly wanted to make a truly impressive movie!

"One hundred million is nothing..." Lin Ling seemed to see through Chu Yue's thoughts, and smiled at Luo Xinzhong and said, "If we can achieve a global box office of one billion, that would be a great number!"

Luo Xinzhong opened his mouth wide, not knowing whether he was surprised by the ambition of the woman in front of him or the others, and smiled silently: "Billion, is that possible? Unless it is an Italian lira or Vietnamese Dong, even if it is a global billion, it is an impossible task!" But he didn't know that the billion Lin Ling pointed to was a billion US dollars, not a billion RMB or Hong Kong dollars!

Is it difficult? That may not be true! Lin Ling smiled lightly, but stopped saying anything, just looking at Chu Yue who was a little depressed. Chu Yue was indeed very frustrated. After calculating the box office of "Titanic", even if the box office of his play in Asia exceeded 200 million, it was only one percent of the other person's, which was completely incomparable!

"Cheers to the box office of "First Wire Service 2"!" The vice president of Light and Shadow Company smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed. Including the promotional fee, this drama has really invested hundreds of millions. It seems that it is not without vain investment, but there is still a profit.

While everyone raised their glasses and drank, Liu Qingyun walked over and patted Chu Yue on the shoulder and smiled: "A Yue, this movie has such a good box office, what else are you unhappy?"

"Unhappy? Why are you unhappy? How can you be unhappy on such a day!" The producer manager came over, so happy that his teeth were about to fall off: "By the way, the company has decided to start the third episode, and of course the starring actors are still A Yue, Qingyun and Peier. When will you draw the schedule?"

While Luo Xinzhong was still considering the issue of schedule, Lin Ling was considering other things. She admired this drama very seriously and admitted that Chu Yue's performance began to be on track, which impressed the audience. But for this reason, she did not think that Chu Yue should continue to perform!

Chu Yue's performance is now on track and has begun to have some of his own ideas and styles. Then this drama with a fixed character must not be allowed to sway Chu Yue's progress. Otherwise, Chu Yue missed this period, and it would be a long time before he won the award.

That is a very important factor. If you want to improve your acting skills, you must leave this drama, this very sensational series! Moreover, it is precisely because Chu Yue's performance has made obvious progress that the audience began to have a considerable impression of his performance in this drama. Therefore, in order not to set the image of Chu Yue from now on, we must also leave this series!

The most important thing is that she doesn't think that the third part of this series has any great future. At least based on her observation of human nature, the fate of this third episode may not be very wonderful! She can assert that the success of "The Olympics" will make light and shadows excited, make a big investment in the third part, and adhere to the style of the second part. But she has appreciated the script of the third part and does not think it is suitable for a large production!

Seeing that Luo Xinzhong was still considering, Lin Ling couldn't help but start saying: "Who is going to play this third part, who is going to direct it, and how much money is going to invest, these are all very important!"

"We talked to Director Chen. If there is no accident, he will be the director of the third part. As for the actors, it will not be less than the second part. The production fee should be around 50 to 60 million!" It is impossible to admit that the manager was very considerate and gave the answer quickly.

Sure enough... Lin Ling sighed softly. With these answers, she was not sure that the third part would fail at the box office, but it would definitely not be too successful. At least it would not be as sensational as it is now: "I think A Yue will not act in this series again!"

As soon as this statement was made, not only the manager, but also Luo Xinzhong and Chu Yue were also shocked! Even Chu Yue knew that the box office would not be bad. As long as the box office was good, it would be successful! Especially for the actors, it was even more huge capital! And Lin Ling actually rejected this drama in one go!

Before Chu Yue could express anything, Luo Xinzhong couldn't help but become a little angry: "Lin Ling, what do you mean? You are just his assistant, not his agent. Whether to act or not is up to me!"

Lin Ling shrugged. Although she had a certain understanding with Luo Xinzhong, she said this in such a scene, which obviously made Luo Xinzhong very unhappy. This not only cut off his financial path, but also snatched his words in person, and he was more like Chu Yue's agent, which made him not angry!

Lin Ling didn't say much, but just glanced at the manager. The manager immediately turned around and gave them space to discuss, but he didn't understand how Lin Ling, as an assistant, could decide whether Chu Yue would act or not! When he was still confused, Lin Ling spoke up and told Liu Qingyun, Chu Yue and others what he wanted!

These words were shocking. Almost no one present had heard such a strange theory. Only Liu Qingyun pondered for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "A Yue, you are still young and have a choice, so I have no choice. You can do it if you have to act and make money!"

Chu Yue thought hard for a moment, and he admitted that Lin Ling's words, if he was really trapped by this series, his image would indeed be solidified, and his acting skills would probably be difficult to make any progress in this budding period! While still thinking, Luo Xinzhong waved his hand: "I object, who would be stupid enough to be a series that has a box office success? After acting in the third part, as long as the box office exceeds 20 million, A Yue will have enough capital."

"Every series has its own peak. Once it reaches its peak, it will decline. This period of decline usually begins the third episode. Ah Yue is now in the rising period, and all his performances must follow this path. With his current popularity, no matter what kind of scene he acts in, as long as the film is not bad, the box office will not be too bad!" Lin Ling always has many reasons for his own: "Besides, there are too many actors in this set of dramas, and it is difficult for Ah Yue to grow up alone!"

"Don't argue!" Chu Yue waved his hand fiercely, his face firmly: "No need to say anything, I decided, Lin Ling's words make sense. I won't act even if I don't act in the third episode, even if there is a schedule!"

Luo Xinzhong's heart quickly fell down. He could not imagine that Chu Yue actually believed in Lin Ling more than him in this regard! Is he an agent or Lin Ling an agent? A fire of nameless karma emerged from his heart, and his displeasure towards Chu Yue and Lin Ling was flowing on his face without any concealment: "What do you mean? I'm for your own good, A Yue. If you act in this third episode again, your position will be stable. As long as you act in the third episode, you will have no objection to not act in the fourth episode!"

Lin Ling just smiled and stared at Luo Xinzhong, judging whether this guy was fighting for money or face! Chu Yue took a deep breath and his tone was firm: "Brother Zhong, needless to say, in my heart, box office is never as important as acting! Just as Brother Qingyun said, I am still young, and I have the opportunity to shoot good box office scenes, and now I should focus on honing my acting skills!"

Luo Xinzhong glared at Lin Ling fiercely, feeling very resentful, and just thought in his mind: What else do I want as an agent to do now? Since I don’t want anything, I have made a decision! Even though he was angry, he hesitated for a moment and measured the interests of Chu Yue. Even if Chu Yue doesn’t take on this drama, he still has great interests! Thinking of this, he still suppressed the unhappiness he had accumulated for a long time!

Chu Yue did not notice Luo Xinzhong's expression, he was just considering Lin Ling's statement. In fact, he felt that Lin Ling was right. Although this theory was the first time he heard it, it was undeniable that it did have its own reliability! Not to mention the others, just talk about Zheng Yijian. He started out with the comic series "Young and Dangerous", but his acting skills never improved. He was eventually established as a comic film actor, and he acted in "Chinese Heroes" and "The World of the World". Then now he had to hone his performance again and reshape his image!

If he doesn't want to fall into such a situation, he must try to change! Not to mention other things, just take Liang Jiahui as an example. Before "The 92 Black Rose vs. Black Rose", he always acted in a serious drama. It was that very successful drama, and it was also the very adventurous director Liu Zhenwei who used him that Liang Jiahui finally pulled out of the previous serious drama image!
