After returning from the Golden Horse, Yuan Hua returned to the crew of "The Wandering Earth" and filmed for another month. Then he asked for leave again, this time not to attend the awards ceremony, but to participate in the national roadshow of "Predecessor 3" .
Let's talk about the movie "The Three Predecessors". To be honest, the popularity of the three actresses is better than nothing, and the road show promotion basically points to Yuan Hua and Zheng Kai!
And Zheng Kai bears the title of "Little Prince of Bad Movies", and it is not realistic to expect him to attract many viewers to buy tickets, so it mainly depends on Yuan Hua, so he must not be absent
"Zheng Kai, what's the matter with you, I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so haggard? Why, are you busy preparing for pregnancy?"
Facing Yuan Hua's teasing, Zheng Kai shook his head with a wry smile and said:
"Why are you pregnant? We have already broken up, and we will make an official announcement tomorrow!"
Yuan Hua was stunned for a moment: "Oh, I'm sorry, I really don't know about this. So you're ¡ª¡ª you're so emaciated for Yixiao, I can't see that you're still a love interest!"
It shouldn't be, as far as Yuan Hua knows, Zheng Kai is not like a "good man" in the traditional sense. After all, he was awarded the title of "Little Prince of Nightclubs" when he was in college.
By the way, Zheng Kai has a girlfriend now, but it is not his later wife Miao Miao, but Cheng Xiaoyue, a Hong Kong socialite. In August 2015, the two officially announced their relationship, and in 2017 Christmas Weibo officially announced their breakup. Since then, this nearly three-year relationship has come to an abrupt end.
Compared with his wife Miao Miao, the story of Zheng Kai and his ex-girlfriend Cheng Xiaoyue is more widely known. Later, on the day Zheng Kai officially announced their marriage, Cheng Xiaoyue was also on the top of the hot search.
Many netizens not only sighed, Zheng Kai and his ex-girlfriend Cheng Xiaoyue have been in love for 3 years, and they have appeared on several reality shows, making it known to everyone, but in the end, he still married someone else.
Zheng Kai was also frank: "That's not true. I've been bothered recently not because of the breakup, but because of being chased and scolded every day in "Legend of Conquering Demons""
As the saying goes, there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames. "The Little Prince of Bad Movies" really didn't wrong him. In fact, on the 17th of last month, an epic bad movie starring Zheng Kai - "The Legend of Conquering the Devil" was just released.
This fantasy blockbuster directed by Wang Jing with Zheng Kai and Zhang Yuqi as the male and female protagonists has already been drawn. The final box office was 91.76 million and failed to break through 100 million. .
There is one thing to say, everyone has long been familiar with Wang Jing making bad movies, but after all, he is also a senior director who has been in the world for decades, and he actually produced a movie with a score of less than three. Even for Wang Jing, this It's also a bit "beyond imagination".
Netizens complained that the film is extremely bad! Fifty cents special effects! "Conscience" is big! It's like a page tour promotional video! "Legend of the Gods" in 2017! After watching it, people can't help but wonder if "Chasing the Dragon" released two months ago was written by someone else?
Wang Jing was scolded so badly that Zheng Kai, as the leading actor, naturally couldn't escape. Fortunately, most of the gunfire was pulled away by Wang Jing, and Zheng Kai was able to barely escape
Perhaps it is because he has been scolded a lot recently, so this time Yuan Hua sees him again after a few months, and the star can see that he is a bit haggard. Love and career are not going well, no wonder Zheng Kai looks so exhausted!
Yuan Hua raised his eyebrows at him: "Let those unhappy things go, it's not without good news. It is said that you have already knocked on the door of Hollywood. I heard that you also starred in a superhero in a DC movie. What Atom, huh?
In my impression, Fan Bingbing is the only Chinese actor who has played a role in a Hollywood super-English movie before you! "
Although he knew it was a joke, Zheng Kai was still amused. He slapped his thigh excitedly and began to pour bitterness on Yuan Hua:
"Hey, it's annoying to say it! When I first heard that DC wanted me to play a superhero as a cameo, and I could also cooperate with Zha Dao, I almost died of joy!
Although it only takes a minute or two to know the role, but after all, Cai Ruian, the fourth-generation Atom Man, is still a character with a name and surname, right, I don¡¯t choose it anyway!
I finally waited until "Justice League" was released in China on the 17th of last month. I watched the movie from beginning to end. When the end credits came out, I realized that tmd didn't have me at all. I didn't even appear in the feature film for a second. No cut!
If it weren't for the group photos of the previous studio still stored in my mobile phone, I would have suspected that I was dreaming. It made me feel embarrassed to tell people that I participated in this movie. Now when people ask me, I just say it's fake news!"
"Hahahaha Sorry, I'm professionally trained, no matter how funny it is, I won't laugh unlessCan't help it! "
Yuan Hua patted him on the shoulder, leaning forward and backward with a smile. These words obviously had elements of artistic processing. Yuan Hua naturally didn't believe that Zheng Kai didn't know that all his scenes had been cut until the movie was released! Generally speaking, you will definitely be notified in advance, but this is harmless and very funny.
And his depression is definitely not fake, after all, he must be very eager to show his face in this kind of popular Hollywood blockbuster
Even if it's just a face-swiping shot for a few seconds, the brokerage company can send out a draft to blow it up later, and it can also slightly improve your own status.
Just like Fan Bingbing, even though her scenes in "US Team 3" only appeared in the "Mainland Special Edition", this did not prevent people from purchasing the draft, and took the opportunity to gain a wave of fame.
However, Zheng Kai's fame and status are not comparable to Fan Bingbing's after all. He didn't even have the qualifications to appear in the "Mainland Special Edition", so he was directly cut off!
Not to mention that he didn't appear for a second in the main film, and even the credits at the end of the film didn't include his name.
It wasn't until 21 that director Zach Schrader released the four-hour "Justice League" director's cut version re-screened in the United States that Zheng Kai finally made an appearance. Although the scene only lasted for more than a minute, at least he kept his eyes open. Seeing Yueming, although four years have passed since the movie was released.
It is no wonder that "American Team 3" can sell 1.243 billion domestically, while the box office of "Justice League" is only a little more than half of it: 690 million.
It can be seen that DC is obviously not as smooth as Marvel, after all, Zheng Kai's role is only one minute. Taking a step back, even if he is really added to the "Mainland Special Edition", what will happen? It doesn't affect the overall narrative rhythm and the integrity of the film at all!
In any case, this is also a good publicity gimmick, which will definitely please some audiences in Huaguo, and there is a high probability that it will also increase the box office in the end!
First of all, to be clear, the reason why Zheng Kai was pulled in to play the Atom in "Justice League" is obviously to imitate the invitation of Fan Bingbing to join the team in "X-Men" next door to play the blinking female blink. The purpose is nothing more than to increase the number of Chinese role to please the audience in Huaguo, hoping to gain some money at the box office in the end.
But for some unknown reason, DC finally gave up on this plan. But otherwise, don't let this crooked mind start, otherwise giving up temporarily will feel a bit "righteous and upright", and it will hurt the feelings of some Huaguo fans after it spreads.
It's no wonder that DC's super-English movie box office is always beaten by the next door. Judging from this matter, besides, this is not an isolated case. In terms of treating Chinese audiences, it's true that Marvel is more attentive than the DC next door. A star and a half.
Although Marvel also drifted away later, and a "Shang Qi" exhausted the love accumulated over the years, at least before that, they were very serious in currying favor with or wooing domestic movie audiences.
A more obvious example is that "American Team 3" specially produced a special version for Huaguo. In addition to Fan Bingbing's appearance, a scene of Wang Xueqi giving Iron Man acupuncture and moxibustion was added. In Huaguo.
"Wonder Woman 1984" even broadcast the film in the mainland one week in advance, and then let the heroine Gal Gadot settle in Douyin to learn Chinese to promote the film.
In order to please the Huaguo audience, "Change Four" not only invited Li Bingbing and Han Geng to make cameo appearances, but also arranged almost all the scenes to be filmed in Huaguo
Even with Marvel making samples for them, DC is still as arrogant as before. It¡¯s not that adding Zheng Kai¡¯s role in "Justice League" will definitely have a great impact on the result, but the problem is that cutting leeks now is also You have to pay attention to a basic law.
Since they are all making money in the domestic film market, they must show some sincerity! Even if it is to fool a ghost, there must be a paper tie, right?
Nowadays, the Huaguo film market has long been the second largest film market in the world after North America. DC and Marvel's super-English films almost harvest billions of dollars in the domestic box office every year.
The total box office of the Marvel Universe series of movies in the mainland has already exceeded the 20 billion mark, so let¡¯s put this aside for the time being.
Take this "Justice League" as an example, the global box office is 657 million US dollars, the largest contribution is naturally North America - 229 million US dollars, followed by the mainland - 106 million US dollars, and the rest of the countries and regions are all below 50 million US dollars .
As the second largest box office of this film, the country that contributed nearly half of North America, is it really not worthy of this minute of footage? </div>
