Chapter 487 I Want to Play with You
In the following days, the charm of journalism continued to be demonstrated. At first, the only people who sang against it were those from the Southern School who couldn't stand the singing of praises to the motherland. Later, more and more chaotic voices emerged.
However, the most fierce firepower is still from the Southern Newspaper, especially the Southern Metropolis Daily, which insists on the opposition between men and women...
"Four days after its release, the movie 'Operation Kunpeng' has successfully sparked a conflict between men and women"
"Operation Kunpeng's charm remains undiminished, and the box office continues to be hot on Monday"
"Will 'Operation Kunpeng' usher in the era of 'magic dramas' on the big screen?"
"After watching the flag-raising ceremony, we will go to the cinema - Beijing cinemas become the latest check-in spot for tourists"
"According to our newspaper, 'Operation Kunpeng' triggered protests and clashes in Bangkok, Thailand, leaving many people injured"
"Tickets for the premiere of 'Operation Kunpeng' in Thailand are hard to come by, and people are fighting over being cut in line when buying tickets"
"A famous Korean expert used 'a pile of feces' to evaluate the recently popular 'Operation Kunpeng'"
"The expert who claims that all the territory north of the Yangtze River is Korean territory once again makes absurd remarks against Dongda Films"
From 'Beijing Welcomes You' to 'Operation Kunpeng', the rapid change in the attitude of the literary and art circles has left foreigners in China feeling at a loss.
"The box office exceeded 200 million in eight days. The box office record of the University of Tokyo should be created by the people of the University of Tokyo!"
"Many women spontaneously built a flesh-and-blood Great Wall outside the Pengcheng Cinema, refusing the 'Kunpeng Action' roadshow promotion in Pengcheng"
"A miracle in the history of Dongda movies, the box office of 'Operation Kunpeng' rose against the trend on Saturday of the second week, closing at 3810 million!"
"When reporters asked about Director Xu Kun, many actresses remained silent."
"The 'Kunpeng Operation' roadshow in Guangzhou was a great success, with two thousand girls spontaneously lining up to welcome it"
"It's outrageous! A group of thugs suddenly broke into our newspaper, wreaked havoc, and injured the magazine's female editor Ma X"
"Ten days after its release, the total box office of 'Operation Kunpeng' has reached nearly million yuan, making it an unstoppable force in the history of film."
"The leader of the mob turned out to be a 2-year-old girl, who named the atrocity 'Operation Kunpeng '"
"Three hundred and thirty million, Kunpeng swallowed up the Red Cliff, and pointed his sword at the big ship!"
"X Ling, the injured editor of Southern Metropolis Daily, said: Every girl is an angel, and the source of all evil who leads them to violence and depravity is the one who should be punished the most."
"Ten years of hard work! The bumpy road to success for domestic commercial films!"
…………
Third week of release, Saturday, Mountain City.
"This...it's broken already?"
Chen Xuebin's eyes were full of trance.
“It seems to be really broken.”
Ge You also had a confused look on his face.
The main creative team of the crew had all experienced the carnival in 98. The record left by "Titanic" in the past ten years is like a mountain, pressing on the heads of every Dongda filmmaker.
Although we can see that the box office of domestic films is getting higher and higher, and although we can see that "Operation Kunpeng" is unstoppable, when this moment really comes, it still feels incredible.
Especially since all this took only 15 days!
It only took half a month to break the million record that had been held by the ship for ten years. No one would have believed this even if it had happened half a month ago, not to mention ten years ago.
The reason for this achievement is mainly that a large number of people who usually do not watch movies were attracted to the cinema.
"Keep going like this!"
Baoqiang said excitedly: "Can our movie sell for 5 million?!"
Sun Honglei has bigger ambitions: "If we can play it long-term, we may even reach 600 million!"
At this time, Wang Zhonglei, who was outside making a phone call, came in with a red face, holding the door and said excitedly: "The time to go to Chengdu should be postponed. President Han and the leaders of the Film Bureau will come, and CCTV and the Film Channel will also send people! If nothing unexpected happens, today's interview will definitely be on the news broadcast!"
In fact, relevant reports have already been broadcast on the News Broadcast, but it is still very different from this kind of live interview.
While Xu Kun was excited, he felt that everyone's eyes were focused on him, either explicitly or implicitly.
Obviously, no one wants to miss this opportunity to show their faces.
Only Ge You waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I'm exhausted these days. I'll just take this opportunity to have a good sleep."
Ge You has been interviewed by CCTV more than once, so he naturally doesn't take these things that seriously, but other people are not as noble as him.
In other words, Baoqiang was afraid that Brother Kun would be embarrassed, so he took the initiative to open his mouth, but before he could say anything, Xu Kun announced: "By then, try to be on camera. If you really can't, that's okay. When the roadshow is over, I guess all the media will interview you until you vomit."
At this time, Wang Zhonglei came close to Xu Kun and tried to hug his shoulders affectionately, but Xu Kun quickly avoided him.
He didn't get angry, and said with a smile: "Director Xu, can we make a sequel to this drama while the iron is hot? Didn't the character played by Wu Jing escape? The sequel is just the right time to talk about him!"
Zhang Jin and Yang Junyi were both cheered up upon hearing this.
Zhao Wenzhuo and Sun Honglei showed little interest, after all, they had already "completely finished filming".
Wu Jing was a little bit expectant, but also a little bit repulsive.
With the popularity of "Operation Kunpeng", it is definitely a good opportunity for him to upgrade from the second villain to the main villain.
But he would rather play a positive role than a villain.
Bao Qiang seemed to be hesitant to speak. For the sake of Kun Ge's reputation, he did not agree with the sequel being released so soon. But he couldn't say it in front of Wang Zhonglei.
"Let's talk about it later." Xu Kun stretched lazily: "I just want to have a good rest now. I have to wait until next year or the year after to start a new project - and I actually want to film "The Way of Heaven"."
"TV drama?"
Wang Zhonglei's face looked as if he had swallowed a fly: "You are such a big star, why are you going to film a TV series?"
Xu Kun spread his hands: "I promised the fans before, I can't go back on my word, right? By the way, speaking of fans, have you hired a lawyer in Shenzhen?"
"Someone has already taken care of it."
Seeing that Xu Kun changed the subject, Wang Zhonglei didn't want to continue to dwell on the sequel. After all, Xu Kun's market value was rising again, and he could even suppress Feng Xiaogang at Huayi.
The Second Wang had to praise and worship even Feng Xiaogang, so how dare they offend Xu Kun who was at the peak of his career?
So he followed Xu Kun's lead and said with emotion, "Young girls nowadays are really brave. They actually dared to bring people to break into the newspaper office and smash and destroy things. That female editor surnamed Ma was also funny. She said in the newspaper that she would not pursue the matter, but she did not stop the newspaper from suing."
"That girl's father was originally obsessed with stock trading, and he almost lost everything and was left with a lot of debt." Xu Kun explained the origin of the die-hard fan, and then curled his lips and said, "That Ling has been holding up feminism to attack our crew. Now that she has been beaten by a little girl, she can't slap herself in the face again, right?"
"It's really weird."
Wang Baoqiang complained: "We are just focusing on making our movie. Why do these female journalists and editors have to bother us? They keep chasing us and scolding us. I see more and more reports scolding us. I really don't know what they are thinking!"
"It's not necessarily all women who are scolding."
Xu Kun shook his head and said, "Originally, it was mainly the Southern Group that was singing the opposite tune, and later people from other film and television companies also joined in - famous people are prone to gossip, and this kind of thing is perfectly normal."
In fact, the situation is still relatively good now. At least the Hong Kong media has not been affected much, otherwise the voices of opposition would definitely be even louder.
As he was speaking, Xu Kun's cell phone suddenly rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. He had been receiving a lot of inexplicable calls recently, including from "friends" in the circle who had nothing to do with him, and from people who wanted to use their connections to invest in his next movie, as well as some powerful fans.
So Xu Kun was no longer surprised by this, but he didn't know what was going on this time.
He walked outside to the corridor and was about to answer the phone when he heard a loud crash. He looked up and saw a guy smashing the corridor glass with his elbow and climbing in nimbly.
This seems to be the sixth floor, right?
"Brother Kun!"
The hero jogged a few steps, and slid towards Xu Kun... No, he slid to his knees, clasped his hands together and said, "Brother Kun, I want to play with you! I want to be an action star! I must be better than Wang Baoqiang!"
Xu Kun had heard countless similar requests along the way, but this was the first time he made such a shocking appearance.
Everyone came out after hearing the sound, and were stunned when they saw this scene. It was not until the guy repeated it again that Zhang Jin and Yang Junyi stood in front of Xu Kun.
"Dude, you..."
Xu Kun hesitated for a moment, but still said to Wang Zhonglei: "Second brother, why don't you give him an interview?"
"Row."
Wang Zhonglei agreed readily, but immediately called the police from downstairs.
In the conference room, two policemen stood on Wang Zhonglei's left and right, and it looked like they were interrogating a prisoner rather than interviewing him.
Later, for some unknown reason, this guy was taken away by the police.
But this had nothing to do with Xu Kun. After he handed the matter over to Wang Zhonglei, he answered the strange call.
"Director Xu, congratulations, congratulations!"
Then I heard an excited voice on the other end of the phone: "I never thought that your new movie would be able to...Oh my God, I can't believe it! This is too, too crazy!"
It sounds like a crazy fan, but it doesn't seem right.
"Haha, this is not just my credit."
"No, no, no, Director Xu, you definitely deserve the most credit. I just, I just didn't expect that a domestic film could break the record of Titanic, and it only took half a month... Oh my God, this is really incredible!"
I felt that this woman was a bit of a Western-worshiper, and her voice seemed familiar, but because she was so excited her voice had changed a little and it was difficult to tell what she was saying.
"Director Xu!"
The woman sighed a few more times with a trembling voice, and suddenly said, "You haven't forgotten what we agreed on before, right?"
Something that was agreed upon?
Then he is not a fan. Xu Kun asked vaguely: "What are you talking about?"
"Just wait for you to be free, let's sit down and have a good chat..."
"Oh~ So... uh, I mean of course I remember." Xu Kun recognized that the person opposite was Aunt Liu, so he said, "Didn't you say that you would bring Liu Yifei with you?"
"Uh~"
This time it was Aunt Liu's turn to be vague: "I'm glad you didn't forget, I'm glad you didn't forget, I won't bother you for now, we'll contact each other later."
After hanging up the phone with Aunt Liu, Xu Kun couldn't help but feel a little emotional. This old fairy was really fickle. Compared with her previous cold tone, the sugar content of her voice had increased by at least five plus signs.
However, he did not feel sentimental for too long, because he subsequently received a large number of congratulatory calls, from familiar and unfamiliar people, and even leaders from his hometown called and wanted to invite him home to give a report and speech.
In fact, back home, after he won the Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival, he had already had this idea and wanted to ask Zhang Yong to bring him there. However, Xu Kun was busy promoting his movie at the time, so he declined.
Now the call was made directly to his mobile phone, and Xu Kun could no longer refuse. He could only agree to return home after the roadshow was over.
