Katzenberg would never agree to Cheng Yuan's request, and the negotiations between the two broke up.

Later, Cheng Yu'an held a small meeting with the heads of various Hollywood companies. The main work was about this year's North American summer season.

This year's North American summer season is known as Clash of the Gods, and it is the most lively and competitive summer season in history.

Some media even launched the slogan "After watching the summer movie, don't watch the Christmas movie".

The Christmas season is the most important time in North America, bar none.

This year, a major film company prepared six films to cope with the worst summer season, but in the Christmas season, a major film company only released one film, "The Danish Girl," which was nominated for the Olympics.

Originally, Cheng Lingfeng wanted to move "Inside Out" to the Christmas schedule, but Disney, the publisher, refused, saying that there were no Disney animations on the market this year and it would not be very good, so she insisted on moving "Inside Out" to the summer schedule, and

My own "Minion Big Eyes Cute" fight.

Although the two were released a month apart, Universal is still dissatisfied with Disney's approach.

Universal authorized a major film company to shoot "Jurassic World" just a week before "Inside Out". Isn't this a fool's errand by Disney?

Despite all the dissatisfaction, the North American summer season has begun, and all films have confirmed their schedules.

The first film released by a major film company in the summer season is "Collapse". Cheng Lingfeng hopes that this special effects film with a cost of US$110 million will be a good start for her summer season.

It will be released in the United States on May 29th, and in China a few days later, on June 2nd.

This movie was actually not well received by its North American counterparts before it was released.

Nowadays, North American audiences are tired of disaster rescue films like "The Collapse"!

The film is distributed in North America by a major film company, and Warner Bros. is responsible for overseas distribution.

The film was initially promoted overseas, but the film had an astonishing performance in North America.

It was released in 3,777 theaters in North America on its first day, earning US$18.2 million.

Audiences gave the film a relatively high A- rating on the first day.

In the three days of its first weekend, it grossed an astonishing US$53.21 million in North America, becoming the top box office hit in North America during the last weekend of May.

At the same time, the film also performed very well in overseas markets, recovering US$60 million in the first three days of the weekend, boosting the film's global box office to US$113 million.

"Collapse" is a very honest disaster rescue film, which is why Xuanfa chose to focus on overseas production instead of North America.

Being straight means that it probably has no highlights and is not outstanding in all aspects, but "Collapse" has all the elements that a disaster movie should have.

A god-like omnipotent protagonist, surging special effects scenes, occasional gags and a family-friendly comedy ending.

Facts have also proved that as long as a disaster movie is shot normally, the audience will still be willing to pay for the tickets.

The special effects scenes in "Collapse" are not clumsy at all, and the audience can feel that this movie really spent money.

In addition, there have been no good disaster movies on the market in the past few years. The release of "Collapse" satisfied the audience's desire for a "qualified disaster movie", and it is reasonable to have a small explosion.

Back in China, Cheng Yu'an spent the past two days seeing off all the guests and friends, and returned to normal life and work.

The domestic premiere of "Collapse" was held in Beijing.

Director Brad Peyton and starring Dwayne Johnson and Carla Gugino arrived in Beijing to promote.

The Rock's popularity in China is not as high as that of him in the United States, but he still has many fans.

At the fan exchange meeting before the screening, Carla Gugino did not forget to remind the audience: "Be sure to breathe when watching the movie, and don't hold it in."

Johnson was very excited and confident about the movie: "You will love this movie to death." When asked about the red carpet premiere just now, Johnson said that he was impressed by the large number and enthusiasm of fans.

He was so impressed that director Payton even said: "This trip to China is so exciting, and the Chinese fans are so enthusiastic."

Dawson's funny and playful character left a deep impression on Chinese movie fans.

The capital was getting hotter and hotter. Cheng Yu'an originally wanted to send Liu Yifei to Qiongdao to escape the heat, but Liu Yifei didn't want to move. Coupled with severe airsickness, Cheng Yuan dropped the matter.

"Okay, don't pretend to be at home with me." Liu Yifei looked at her husband in front of her and said with a smile.

"I have good intentions but you treat me like a donkey. How can I call it hypocritical to accompany my wife?" Cheng Yu'an defended.

"I don't know what you're thinking about? Just go and get busy if you have something to do. I'm not a three-year-old child. I can't even take care of myself."

"Didn't we just finish the wedding? If I didn't accompany you, you would scold me again."

"Okay, okay, I know you have this heart, so go ahead and do your business." It was really annoying that Cheng Yu'an was dazzling in front of her these days, and Liu Yifei also wanted to send him away quickly, "A big man spends all day in bed

When you are at home with your wife, someone sees you and says you are worthless."

Cheng Yu'an got his wife's permission and went to Qingdao Oriental Movie Capital to go to the set of "Along with the Gods".

This drama has taken a lot of effort, and we are still working on the early concept and design. It is expected to start shooting in October, and the two parts will be filmed within 130 days. By then, we will have to free up the studio for "The Wandering Earth".

This drama is billed as a Hong Kong Island co-production, but in fact most of the creative team comes from the Mainland.

Hong Kong investors heard that Yuan Yuan had made the film a co-production in order to make it easier for the film to pass censorship, and they all started thinking about it.

Blockbusters controlled remotely have always been very repulsive to Hong Kong and Taiwan capital.

Now you have to make a co-production, so you have to take my money.

They really just don’t accept it.

The person who manages this project is Zhou Tiedong. In addition to his own company Jiahe, he has only received investment from two Hong Kong companies, Yinhuang and Anle Pictures.

Moreover, the request to star in Hong Kong-owned Sai was rejected.

Zhou Tiedong's original words: "The four protagonists were requested by Yu'an by name. I can't change them. If you want, you can talk to Yu'an yourself."

The three ambassadors: Jiang Lin (to be determined), Jie Yuanmai (Brother Hu), and Li Dechun (Nazha); the distinguished person: Jin Zihong (Huang Bo).

But face must be given after all, so Zhou Tiedong generously gave two comedy roles - the regional judge, and the two hell gods, a total of four roles to Yinhuang and Anle.

For the sake of safety, Cheng Yuan specially invited Teacher Yu to play the role of Yama in the Palace of Hell.

As for why Teacher Yu was invited to act, you will understand if you think about how her own movies passed censorship.

"Love Has an Afterlife" clearly showed the ghost in the film, and it actually passed the censorship and was successfully released. Not only did this have the help of Teacher Yu's contacts accumulated through many years of hard work in the industry, but also...

There are too many to mention, but the relationship between Teacher Yu can be described in four words: Heaven listens!
