The mainland film market in 2009 was also surging. [Transformers 2] swept the world with the help of the first part of the film, and the box office of the mainland exceeded 300 million in twelve days of release.

For audiences, Transformers 2 only brings a strong visual impact, while for film practitioners around the world, it is a change from shooting to screening in the entire film industry.

Compared with the first part, the 3D picture of [Transformers 2] has improved qualitatively. You should know that only two years have passed since the first part was released, and Hollywood's technological innovation speed is simply trembling.

Putting aside the 3D special effects, the success of [Transformers 2] has an unprecedented driving effect on the IMAX giant screen and 3D projection technology. Many new theaters need to reconsider the design of the IMAX giant screen and 3D projection hall at the construction site, because it is obvious that with the same playback time, the ticket price of these two technologies is only two to three times the average ticket price.

There is no doubt that [Transformers 2] has swept the world's summer season. Any movie seems vulnerable under the iron fist of Transformers. In the mainland, [Transformers] has won 450 million box office, 401.1 million box office in North America, and 830.8 million box office worldwide. This is not counted as DVD discs and various derivatives revenue.

Obviously, the Transformers series has become a huge gold-sucking monster, helping Hollywood go further on the road to globalization.

In addition to Hollywood blockbusters, there are also several dark horses in the mainland film market. One is Lu Chuan's [Nanjing Nanjing] with a box office of 160 million. As a movie with such a heavy theme, the box office is quite good. However, considering that the investment in this drama is as high as 80 million, overall, it is still a loss of money, because it is difficult for such a film to have an overseas market.

The three male gods Liu Qingyun, Gu Zai and Azu jointly starred in the box office of "Eavesdropping Storm" to win 90 million yuan. Of course, the box office is not the key, mainly because the content of this drama is very novel. The producer Bona also said that the [Eavesdropping Storm] will be made into a series.

At the end of July, all [Wind Sound] will be completed. In mid-August, [Wind Sound] will be selected as a gift film for the 60th anniversary of the National Day, and will be scheduled for September 29th.

"Huh, I can finally take a breath." Zhou Xing and Gao Qunshu looked at each other and smiled.

"Oh? Lao Gao? It's three years soon, and the five-year agreement is coming soon? What are your plans?" Zhou Xing asked after handing a glass of red wine.

Gao Qunshu took the wine glass and shook it? He sighed and said with emotion: "Unclearly, it's been three years? The scene of borrowing money from you seems to be still vivid in my mind."

"Lao Gao, do you think Zhixing Film and Television can be done?" Zhou Xing suddenly asked.

Gao Qunshu was stunned for a moment? Shaking his head: "It's difficult? Although Zhixing Film and Television can take its own profits and losses now, it will depend on your blood transfusion when encountering such a large investment in [Wind Sound]. It's difficult to develop such a model. Do you find that? Nowadays, the current films are often invested in tens of millions or hundreds of millions? Once you lose money, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Even if Gao Qunshu is confident in [Wind Sound], he cannot guarantee that [Wind Sound] can make money. He doesn’t say that he can make money, as long as he doesn’t lose money? He is very satisfied. Don’t look at the box office of the mainland film market that is now a little bit a year? In fact, there are very few movies that can really make money.

"Old Gao? Otherwise, [Fengsheng] If you make money? We should not make a five-year agreement? I will give you 10% of the shares? Let's work together!" Zhou Xing said seriously.

Gao Qunshu looked at Zhou Xing and saw that he didn't seem to be joking: "Are you so confident in [Wind Sound]?"

"Of course, I believe that good movies will definitely be accepted by the audience, otherwise what is the meaning of making movies?" Zhou Xing smiled.

Gao Qunshu was a little dazzled. He was not from a professional class, nor did he graduate from a prestigious university. He worked hard all the way and finally became a director. After so many years in the entertainment industry, he never made any name. Sometimes he would ask himself whether this was worth it.

Of course, the final answer has never changed, that is, it is worth it. Otherwise, he would not have borrowed money from Zhou Xing to finish filming the [Tokyo Trial]. He has always had a sense of awe for the movie.

"Okay, then it's a matter of determination. As long as [Wind Sound] makes money, even if it's a dollar, I'll follow you."

"A gentleman's word."

"It's hard to chase after all!"

Starting from August, almost all platforms have begun to build momentum for a movie, that is, [The Founding of a Kingdom]. This movie has brought together hundreds of stars, and many first-line stars are only worthy of playing soy sauce in this drama. The lineup can no longer be described as luxurious, and most of them are starring in zero pay.

On that day, Zhou Xing was holding a meeting in Zhixing Film and Television to formulate a publicity plan for [Wind Sound]. After the meeting, Anli had no intention of leaving.

Zhou Xing smiled and said, "Sister anli, just say it right if you have anything to do. There is no need to look at me like that, right?"

"Oh, forget it, you men, you can forget anything you do when you are busy. How long has it been since you were on the phone with Lanlan?" anli glared at Zhou Xing complainingly.

Zhou Xing slapped his forehead and said, "It's true that Zhou Lan graduated this year, and this girl invited him to attend the graduation ceremony. As a result, the filming of [Sound of Wind] reached the last moment. When he got busy, he actually forgot about it."

"No, this girl has graduated. What are you doing now? Sister anli, I'll go back first." Zhou Xing was stopped by Anli just as he was about to get up.

"Come on, you, do you think this girl is a person who can stay idle? She has already run away."

"Run? Where did you go?" Zhou Xing became anxious when he heard this.

anli gave him an angry look: "Now you know you are worried? Don't worry, this girl and a classmate went to Hengdian to play a supporting role."

"Classmate? Male or female?" Zhou Xing suddenly felt like an old father, fearing that the cabbage he had finally grown was robbed by a pig.

"Don't worry, female, but this girl's agent is cruel enough. She took them to fifty crews in one month."

Zhou Xing was a little surprised when he heard this. The supporting role was the lowest in the crew. He was doing the dirtiest and tiring work and earned the lowest salary. How could Zhou Lan be able to hold on for a month?

"I have booked the air ticket for you, and you can do whatever you want to go."

“……”

On the other hand, Zhou Lan and Yuan Shanshan had just finished work from the crew and returned to the rental house, and both of them were so tired.

"Oh, it's another supporting role that doesn't even show his face. It turns out that being an actor is so difficult." Zhou Lan kept pounding her calves. Today, she was also evil. She ran to the three crews and was all maids. She stood all day long, and her feet were swollen.

Yuan Shanshan was also so tired that he hummed: "What do you think? Not that's the case without fame, but when you look at the leading actors, one by one, one holds an umbrella and someone handes water, just wait."

"Oh, Shanshan, when will we last like this?" Zhou Lan lay straight on the bed, not wanting to move. She originally thought that even if she graduated from a prestigious university like Jingying, she would soon stand out. If she accidentally became famous, she would still make her look at her with admiration.

What happened? When I arrived in Hengdian, I realized that many of the famous universities such as Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, and Shanghai Academy of Drama were also playing supporting roles. It is too difficult to make a fortune in the entertainment industry. It is not that you can do it with acting skills.

Yuan Shanshan was amused: "You, who made you not listen carefully in class? Look at Jiao Junyan's professional grades have always been in the top three. This is not just a movie. Are you talented when she debuted?"

"Let's talk about Yang Mi. He is a child star. He played the role of [The Legend of Condor Heroes] before he went to school. He was selected as the fourth young actress as soon as he graduated this year. Are you anyone's chance?"

When Zhou Lan heard that, she was really the third place in the art exam. She thought she was already very good, but after she arrived at Beijing Film Academy, she realized that the road to literature and art was full of foundation. Many students started learning dance, drama and other things since childhood, and they knew more than she had seen.

In terms of talent alone, although Zhou Lan is good, she is not the top group. Her professional scores can only be considered average. She has nothing to do at ordinary times. Once the crew picks people, the gap will be too obvious.

This is also the reason why Zhou Lan and Yuan Shanshan came to play as a supporting role. They wandered around and had no place to go after graduation. Zhou Lan would not sleep on the streets at least, and Yuan Shanshan was in trouble. If they didn't come to play as a supporting role, they couldn't even afford the rent in Beijing.

Seeing that Zhou Lan didn't speak, Yuan Shanshan began to close the case and said: "So, ordinary people like us who have no talent, no opportunities, and no backgrounds have to rely on themselves if they want to become famous."

"That...Shanshan, what do you think is a background?" Zhou Lan asked timidly.

Yuan Shanshan was so angry that he was so angry. What's going on with this girl? Is this the point of the problem? However, with the mentality of a novice in the education and entertainment industry, Yuan Shanshan still said angrily: "What? Are you a father like Zhang Guoli? Or is there a father like Cheng Long?"

"Stop dreaming, it's a second-generation star. He was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. You're so funny."

Zhou Lan opened her mouth and thought to herself that her brother seemed to be much lower than these two, right?

Seeing that Zhou Lan didn't speak for a long time, Yuan Shanshan thought she was talking too heavily, so she quickly cleared her throat: "Hehe, Lanlan, don't be discouraged. What's wrong with not being a second-generation star? We are still young, this is capital. As long as we persist, we will definitely become famous under our conditions."

Well, this bowl of chicken soup was poured directly into his mouth. Zhou Lan almost choked to death. She was about to speak when her phone rang.

"Hey, Lanlan, where are you?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Zhou Lan almost burst into tears: "Hmph, it's up to you, why did you suddenly think of me?"

"I'm in Hengdian."

"What are you doing? Filming? That would be a big deal to delay your filming." Zhou Lan said sourly.

"The little girl is jealous. I'm here to see you this time. If you don't say it, I'll leave." Zhou Xing laughed and scolded.

"Hmph, I have no sincerity."

Even though he said so, Zhou Lan still sent the address to Zhou Xing.

Zhou Lan rents a small village near the Film and Television City. In recent years, more and more Hengdian has become a supporting role. In order to make money, this village has made a living room for rent, so the environment is naturally not much better.

Zhou Xing couldn't help but frown slightly along the way. He had never suffered any hardships, but once such a thing fell on his relatives, he would inevitably feel uncomfortable. Along the way, Zhou Xing found that not only the environment here was poor, but also some idle people gathered, and the public security environment was definitely not much better.

I had already made up my mind to either rent a better house for Zhou Lan or take the girl back. Oh, my father is so worried.

"Who?" Yuan Shanshan looked at Zhou Lan when he heard the knock on the door.

Zhou Xing was stunned when he heard this. This was not Zhou Lan's voice. Could it be that he was looking for the wrong one? He looked at the address sent by Zhou Lan again.

"Lanlan, open the door."

The door opened, Yuan Shanshan was stunned for a moment, subconsciously glanced at Zhou Lan again, thinking, this girl brother looks so elegant, 180 tall, has a good figure, and looks...

Zhou Xing nodded to Yuan Shanshan, and felt amused when he saw Zhou Lan sitting on the bed, the sheets were almost crushed by her.

"Okay, I didn't attend your graduation ceremony. My second brother was wrong. What compensation do you want? My second brother promised you, be good, don't be angry, you can even hang a chamber pot."

"I hate you, you just hang a chamber pot." Zhou Lan hammered Zhou Xing for a while, and finally the rain passed and the sky cleared.

Zhou Lan had already coaxed her and complained to Zhou Xing for a while, and vented her anger in Hengdian this month. Zhou Xing had no choice but to keep comforting her.

On the other hand, Yuan Shanshan was not calm. Originally, she just felt that her best friend looked a bit like her brother, but when Zhou Xing took off her sunglasses, she immediately recognized her.

In an instant, Yuan Shanshan ran by with ten thousand grass and mud horses in his heart. He agreed that everyone was poor and lower-middle peasants, but you were actually a rich second generation, not only a rich second generation, but also a star second generation.

When Yuan Shanshan thought of the chicken soup he had just poured for Zhou Lan, she instantly felt that she was just stupid.

"Sorry, you are Shanshan, right? Lanlan often mentions you to me. Thank you these days." Zhou Xing coaxed his little devil, and then he remembered that there was someone in the room.

"You... Hello, are you... That Zhou Xing? Wing Chun Ip Man? Huo Yuanjia? Pang Qingyun?" Yuan Shanshan was a little incoherent. Today's Chinese film industry, Zhou Xing may not be the highest in terms of status, but in terms of box office appeal, he is definitely the top one.

"If you are talking about this, that's right, it's me." Zhou Xing suddenly felt that the third sister, the best friend, was really a bit silly and cute.

"I think it's getting late, so I'll treat you to a meal." Zhou Xing suggested.

When Zhou Lan heard this, she almost drooled out: "I want to eat hot pot! I want to eat mutton hotpot!"

Yuan Shanshan's throat was also rolling, and she was almost vomiting after the crew's lunch box this month.

Girls always have to change their clothes when they go out, so Zhou Xing had to wait outside.

However, in fact, the picture in the room was like this at this time. Yuan Shanshan pressed on Zhou Lan and stared at her fiercely: "Okay, you, the second-generation star who was involved in the supporting actor, said, "When I just poured chicken soup for you, were you mocking me in your heart?"

Zhou Lan shouted unjustly: "No, let's talk about it, I'm not a second-generation star. That's my brother, not my father."

"It seems...that's the reason."
