Chapter 801 April, May
The movie is a good movie, and the "story" that happened in the cinema is really exciting.
In this way, Jiang Xiao was busy... It was almost midnight before he took a break with Aragaki Yui, Pei Xiuzhi, and Jing Ting.
The next day, in order to leave a good impression on their "mother-in-law", the three girls worked very hard to get up early. Seeing this made him smile a little.
And after some events, the relationship between Yui Aragaki, Suzy Bae, and Jing Ming seems to have become... maybe there is less of a barrier?
Putting aside all this, Jiang Xiao stayed with the three girls in his hometown for two days and two nights before leaving.
After all, Yui and Suzy are both going back to China, and they can’t put it off any longer. They have work to be busy with, and Da Tiantian also has dramas to film, and they haven’t participated in Japanese or Korean promotional activities before.
The reason why I can follow along this time is because I adjusted the schedule in advance.
In fact, Jiang Xiao himself is also busy and has to go abroad to film a movie.
Of course, no matter how busy he was, he still found time to go to South Korea and spend three days with Riben before leaving the country. It seemed that he was also going abroad. OK, the main point was that he was going to compensate the four girls of BLAK and Miyawaki Sakura.
After all, he had made a promise just now, so he would naturally keep his promise.
Following Jiang Xiao, he did not return to China, but flew directly from Japan to Hawaii, where the new drama was filmed.
Not long after, four girls from his family flew here to accompany him in filming, which made his life more colorful.

Almost a month and a half later, "Edge of Tomorrow" has been largely underwhelmed in Asia.
First of all, the domestic box office created a new record for Chinese-language films, totaling 4.135 billion yuan, which shocked the entire industry, because no one expected that a single movie would exceed 4 billion+ box office volume.
Various other records have also been broken, including a box office of over 1.3 billion+ in a single week, the highest box office in a single day, and a bunch of consecutive records.
All in all, it left a lasting mark on Chinese cinema.
In addition, Xiangjiang also achieved very good box office results. In other words, although it failed to create a new box office record for Chinese-language movies, it still reached the second place with 62.89 million, only losing a few million to "Chilling 2".
Of course, it only compares to Chinese-language films, not Hollywood. To a certain extent, the Hong Kong film market has been dominated by Hollywood films. The highest number of "Avatar" has reached 178 million. It is estimated that it is difficult for any other film to break the this record.
Countries in Southeast Asia also performed well, with a combined total of nearly 38 million U.S. dollars.
Then South Korea finally mobilized 7.7359 million people, with a box office of about 309 million yuan.
Nippon has lived up to Jiang Xiao's promise. After all, the original story comes from here, and the heroine is Yui Aragaki, who has a high national reputation. There are also other Japanese movie actors, so they definitely have local advantages.
12.732 billion yen, this is the total box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" in Japan.
To convert, the current US dollar to Japanese yen exchange rate of 1:101 is approximately US$126 million.
It is currently the single market with the highest box office outside of mainland China.
The total box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" in Asia, when added up one by one, is almost 5.605 billion yuan, about 825 million U.S. dollars, which should make it into the top 50 global box office.
And the ranking will only continue to increase, because it has begun to be released in countries around the world outside of Asia. Large-scale releases will be released in mainstream film markets.
Jiang Xiao's international reputation is sufficient, and coupled with the gimmick of $800 million+ in sales in Asia, Universal, which has always been a good partner, will cooperate in distribution.
In this regard, he himself has some expectations, and the requirements are not high. In the end, it will be enough if the world can break through 1 billion US dollars.
What the final result will be, we have to wait for time to verify it. For Yu Jiang Xiao, the most important thing at the moment is filming.
It's not "Jurassic World 2" that is currently unfinished, but another movie, a famous series of movies called "Mission: Impossible 6: Fallout."
Yes, that's right, he was going to film "Mission: Impossible 6", and it was Tom's initiative to invite him. He refused at first... He didn't mean to be sexy, after all, he was filming "Jurassic World 2"
, don’t want to cause drama.
But Tom was very sincere and said that he would take the initiative to help coordinate the shooting between the two crews. This meant that the filming announcement for "Mission: Impossible 6" would, to some extent, fit in with his schedule.
The only thing that has to be sacrificed is probably Jiang Xiao's weekend time.
The invitation came unexpectedly less than a week after filming "Jurassic World 2". After much consideration, he finally accepted the role in "Mission: Impossible 6", remembering the role of "Superman" Henry Carter.
During this time, he also used his free time outside of filming to prepare for "Mission: Impossible 6".
Now that the filming is finally about to officially start, it also happens that the crew of "Jurassic World 2" will take a break for a while. After some coordination, they can squeeze out some more time, which will allow Jiang Xiao to shoot more "Mission: Impossible 6"
Drama.
Furthermore, the latter is mainly based on Atang, so he doesn’t have to be with the group the whole time.
Even so, Jiang Xiao really doesn't have much time to rest. He will have to travel between two crews for several months. Speaking of which, he only earns a salary from these two movies.
Fortunately, the figure of 20 million + 13 million U.S. dollars can comfort him to some extent, but it is a pity that he cannot get a share. Well... well, "Mission: Impossible 6" is a worthy one, not to mention "Jurassic World 2"
The real protagonist is not a human being, so unlike a movie where the actor's role is irreplaceable, it is impossible to get a share.
The choice of him is first of all because the Chinese film market is the second largest in the world, and secondly, he is also starring in the first film, and the audience is sometimes "nostalgic". This is a combination of factors.

April.
On the 13th, the 70th Cannes International Film Festival announced the shortlist for the main competition unit. "Glimmer" was successfully shortlisted and was the only Chinese film.
On the 14th, the eighth part of "The Fast and the Furious" was officially released in mainland China. Oh, yes, this movie has nothing to do with him now. There was really no time at the time, so he turned it down.
Furthermore, Jiang Xiao really doesn’t want to make another series of films, as three films are enough.
At the end of this month, Lemon's two new films started shooting one after another. Both are small and medium-cost productions, and both are romance films. One is the third part of the "Ex" series.
The main creator has basically remained the same, but of course, the female lead has become Liu Shishi.
This was naturally arranged by Jiang Xiao. Sister Shi Shi had left Tang Ren to support herself, so he must take care of her.
At least after comparing with the girls around me, Liu Shishi is considered the most suitable candidate.
Acting skills are not that important. After all, the highlight of "Exes 3" is not the acting skills, but the fact that it touches the hearts of some emotional viewers, thus unexpectedly creating a hot topic. With constant support and support, there is a producer.
Unexpected box office results.
The other one is "Cohabitation in Time and Space", starring Tong Liyan, the creator is almost the same as in memory, it can be regarded as the "original cast" creator.
The production cost of the two movies "Ex" was 30 million yuan, and "Cohabitation in Time and Space" was 35 million yuan, mainly due to some special effects shots.
End of month.
Lemon's latest movie "Love Saint" is released.
Although it is not a particularly good schedule, relatively speaking, the competition is not that big, because the eighth part of "Fast and Furious~" is being released during the period, but half a month has passed now, and there is
The buffer time is no longer so competitive.
Therefore, "The Lover" had a good start, with a box office of 193 million yuan in the first four days.
It is a purely commercial film, and it barely passes the mark in terms of reputation, but it is not that important. Again, for the vast majority of ordinary viewers, there are two types of movies: those that can be watched and those that cannot be watched, as long as they are entertaining.
It is obviously unrealistic to expect everyone to have a high level of movie-watching skills, as it is obviously unrealistic for everyone to be an expert in the industry.
Just like "The Lover", I believe many viewers actually watched it as a comedy.
For ordinary viewers, watching movies is not just for entertainment, but also for relaxation, joy, and being able to feel something is a surprise.
No, in the second week "The Lover" still achieved a good box office result of 184 million yuan. By the end of the month, the total box office had reached 656 million yuan.
When it was released two weeks later, the final total box office stood at 661 million yuan.
A rough calculation shows that the net income from the box office is close to 200 million yuan. Compared with the amount of investment, it must be a huge profit.
~~~~
Time goes back to two weeks before the release of "The Saint", on May 28th, the 70th Cannes Film Festival officially held its closing ceremony on this day.
Jiang Xiao himself also appeared at this film festival for the first time. It was a coincidence that he was coming to Paris to shoot "Mission: Impossible 6", so he arranged his schedule in advance and flew to Cannes to attend the closing ceremony.
Chapter completed!
