"Is this the reason why we have been waiting so long?" Quan Zhixian asked angrily.
Li Donglai was amused and joked: "Sister Jihyun, who are you to blame for coming early? You see, Kim Soohyun is very smart. He came at six o'clock when he said he would arrive at six o'clock. How could he wait so long?"
"What, it's too early for me to be criticized for working hard. Really, what kind of boss is this? I'll just skip work next time." Quan Ji-hyun fought back not to be outdone.
Kim Soo-hyun on the side was slightly embarrassed. He was so punctual. Wasn¡¯t it because his manager had been guarding the company and reporting the news?
Yoona and Taeyeon also walked in, "Oppa, is it over?"
An Shuzhen smoothed things over and said, "Okay, don't joke around anymore. You see Xiuxian is even uncomfortable. It's dinner time and I'm hungry. Let's all have a meal together. I'll treat you The president will pay the bill."
"This is a good idea." Jun Ji-hyun stopped joking and said with a smile on her face: "This is the first time my boss has treated me since I changed companies. Yoona doesn't care about money."
Yoona was immediately shy, "Unnie, stop joking. I've been hungry for a long time, and I'm about to go to eat." Taeyeon still didn't dare to look at Li Donglai's burning eyes, and deliberately changed the topic and suggested: "Let's barbecue, I I heard that there is a new BBQ restaurant in Namsan. You can grill your own meat while enjoying the night view of Seoul, which is very nice.¡±
An Shuzhen said: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go." She took the hands of Jun Ji-hyun and Taeyeon and walked out first.
Li Donglai also smiled and said, "Xiuxian, let's go too."
Kim Soo-hyun was quite flattered, "Yes. President."
Li Donglai shook his head, "Don't call me president in private. We are about the same age. Call me a peer."
¡¡
The next day, I don¡¯t know how the media knew about the situation. It was published on the Internet, "Phantom boss Lin Yoon-ah inspected the company. The entire Phantom staff was nervous about the reception. Director Ahn Shu-jin and leading actor Jun Ji-hyun attended the dinner" and so on, and a few words were posted out of context. In the photo, he is just as big as Li Donglai. She was stunned to be missing, but the photo of Taeyeon who went with Yoona and was smiling clearly was clearly visible.
There are constant hot comments on the Korean Internet, and even surrounding countries have reprinted reports. Phantom Company actually didn't respond, causing Yoona to be teased wherever she went these days.
No, as soon as I entered the company, I was looked at by Li Xiuman¡¯s passionate eyes, which made me feel uncomfortable. Finally got into the lounge. Was asked by Jessica. Sourly said: "How does it feel to be the boss's wife? You actually go to inspect the company."
It was rare for Jung Soo-jing to get her sister to visit her today. She smiled and said: "Yoona, Unnie, Phantom Company sent me a movie screening invitation today. Did you, the boss lady, say something nice? Phantom is even bigger than s-m Where¡¯s the company?¡±
Yoona was stunned, "How can I have any say? Have you asked me to look into the mirror? It's great. It is said that they have several big dramas to shoot in the second half of this year, with a total investment of hundreds of billions. You should seize the opportunity."
"Thank you, Ouni." Zheng Xiujing said solemnly.
Taeyeon suddenly remembered something. Said: "By the way, I seemed to hear something yesterday. It may have been recommended by Li Donglai. Among us, Baosika and Yuli, who have acted in movies, were invited. Yoona, did Li Donglai reveal anything to you? "
Yoona complained: "Onnie, aren't you always with me? You can't say anything. My schedule is full and I don't want to work anymore. It's like a child. I'll finish the promotion period and take a vacation."
Pani said sourly: "It's really different now that I'm the boss's wife. I'm even too lazy to work anymore."
"Yeah, Unnie!" Yoona went crazy and went to grab Pani's itchy nest, which immediately caused screams.
It is rumored that Li Donglai disdained to respond, but it made Kim Soo Hyun panic. When he went to SBS for a script symposium, he was caught by the media and asked. He quickly took the opportunity to clarify, "Everyone misunderstood. It was very late after the company meeting that day, and everyone had a working meal together. President Lee Dong-rae and senior Jun Ji-hyun were also present. However, the photo was deliberately ignored by some media and caused a topic."
It seems that I am still afraid that everyone will not believe it, so I posted a new photo on Twitter of a dinner party that night. Li Donglai was wearing a hat and sitting very low-key in the corner of the restaurant without being noticed by many people. No wonder the photographer didn't take a picture of Li Donglai.
After hastily finishing the Korean trip and saying goodbye to YoonA at the airport, we embarked on a promotional tour in North America.
Taeyeon was alone at home and had no energy for several days. "This damn guy just walked away without leaving a word. Did he think I was a call girl?" He threw the pillow cannon irritably. Go, feeling upset.
"Ding dong." Suddenly the doorbell rang.
"Who is it?"
?¡°It¡¯s from the courier company.¡±
"Hey, I didn't shop online. Where did it come from?"
"From la, Los Angeles, USA. Is this Ms. Gymboree's home? Please come out and receive the package."
Taeyeon's heart suddenly beat a few times, and she ran over quickly. She peeked through the door for a long time to make sure that Anti was not pretending to be a courier company to deliver the goods, and then she put on makeup and came out to receive the package. After returning to the room, I curiously opened it and found a beautiful packaging box.
¡°To-my-dearbaby¡± is written on it in colorful strokes of oil paint, which is exactly the stinky man she has been dreaming about day and night. My heart suddenly felt sour, and my eyes were a little wet, "This bastard still remembers me." With excitement, I opened the wrapping paper layer by layer and found a simple and gorgeous jewelry box.
When she opened it, she saw a shining necklace that almost blinded her eyes.
"It's so beautiful." I couldn't hold back the tears anymore and burst into my eyes.
Li Donglai, who was on the other side of the world, received a text message on his mobile phone, but it was an arrogant curse. He shook his head helplessly, "Why does this woman like to talk so much and mean what she means?"
"Planet's Strongest: A Documentary of Lee Dong-rae" was a hit when it was released in Asia and Europe, but it was not so easy to move to North America because the movie happened to coincide with the release of "Man of Steel."
With Li Donglai becoming famous all over the world, even though it was released in 3105 theaters in North America, it is quite conservative. "Man of Steel" occupied 4,207 theaters.
Even so. With Li Donglai's explosive popularity this year and his continuous increase in popularity over the years, it has become a substantial accumulation. Three days into its North American premiere, it got off to an unexpected start.
North America opens for three days. It achieved a box office of 73.5 million US dollars, and it was completed under the pressure of "Man of Steel". Prior to this, the media's predictions for "Lee Dong Lai Documentary" generally stayed at around 30 to 40 million US dollars. Now the box office of 73.5 million, which has nearly doubled, has greatly exceeded expectations!
Fans rushed to tell each other, fans and movie fans are no worse than those young idols. What's more, this documentary has very good reviews on ibdm. Plus the trailers are really attractive and are some sensational events. Everyone wants to relive it.
Of course, this is just Li Donglai.
Since his debut, he has repeatedly created sensational events.
1vs20 in the wwe ring. Become famous in one battle. Moving to the UFC real fighting ring, the battle against the Indian monks was even more unbelievable. Some people still suspect that the ring is made of props. How can rocks be so easily broken?
Then the two albums were released. All are sensational effects. Not to mention the Olympics. And Li Donglai's most profound influence is undoubtedly movies. Since the first movie "Source Code", it has continued to create classics and constantly challenged the box office limits.
In the past, when everyone saw celebrity documentaries, most of them were singers or bands. This is their normal state, and now it¡¯s an alternative experience to have a deeper understanding of the story behind the crew. This move was really a hit and miss, and achieved unexpected success.
Three days on the weekend. 73.5 million U.S. dollars, which is an achievement in normal times. Those are championship numbers.
But this week, it was still suppressed by "Superman".
There is no way, the plot of North American Superman is too serious and unmatched.
From June 14, 2013 to June 16, 2013, the North American box office rankings were announced. "Man of Steel", which shoulders the mission of rebirth of the "Superman series" and leads the "Justice Society" project, came to North America, and once again proved that The proposition "Superman is immortal". On the occasion of the "75th anniversary of the birth of Superman", Cavill's version of Superman, the first non-American actor to play, lived up to expectations. Even with Warner Bros.'s huge release scale of 4,207 theaters, it still guaranteed a single theater of $26,879. Excellent results!
The three-day weekend grossed a total of US$113 million. Including the US$12 million in Thursday's midnight show, the cumulative box office in the four days since its release has reached US$125 million, becoming the second-largest box office after "Iron Man 3" in 2013. Open painting.
After "Iron Man 3" hit another 100 million yuan opening, and "Planet's Strongest: Lee Dong Lai Documentary" still achieved a good result of 73.5 million under the huge pressure of Superman. With the help of these two masterpieces, it directly set a new record A record opening in film history in June.
At the same time, the "Doomsday Man" "The End of the World" jointly created by the members of the "Bad Boy Gang" ranked third. Under the leadership of "Superman" and "Li Donglai", the total of the top 12 increased by 46.4% compared with last week, and finally reached an outstanding result of 265 million US dollars.
Since the industry's predictions for "Man of Steel" generally remain at around 80-90 million US dollars, the current box office of 100 million yuan has exceeded everyone's expectations!
From the perspective of Warner Bros., Warner's two major money-making magic weapons: the "Harry Potter" series and the "Dark Knight" series have both been completed successively. While shedding tears amidst the sighs, they also did not forget to make a profit. Pen!
Seeing that Sony's "Spider-Man Reboot Series" has successfully launched, Phantom/Apex successfully operated after the end of "The Twilight Saga" and re-created "The Hunger Games" by Phantom, and the "Divergent" trilogy with the same regulations also launched After launching the project, Li Donglai personally took the initiative to join forces with Phantom, Disney, Warner, Legend, Blizzard and other companies to produce the "World of Warcraft" series on a large scale, which attracted everyone's attention.
Disney¡¯s Marvel trilogy has even extended its plans to around 2018!
Warner now urgently needs a series with vitality and development potential to fill the gap, and "Man of Steel" undoubtedly seized the opportunity and gave itself and Warner a brand new opportunity!
First of all, from the perspective of the influence of the previous work, 7 years have passed since "Superman Returns", and the unreally handsome Brandon Routh has almost been forgotten into the "corner of history." The existence of "Superman Returns" has Low enough to make the audience ignore its existence and regard "Man of Steel" as a new beginning of the Superman series (in contrast, "The Amazing Spider-Man" has been controversial because of the influence of the original trilogy).
Secondly, the film has been positioned at the "origin" (i.e., the origin of the story) from the very beginning of its promotion. Since it no longer requires prior experience or background knowledge, it is less resistant for many viewers to accept it.
From the perspective of the "Justice Society" combination of Batman + Superman + Amazon Girl "Wonder Girl", compared to the "Avengers", it has experienced two "Iron Man", one "Thor", and one " After the grand debut of "Captain America" ??and the two "Hulks" (although the starring roles were not used), DC's "Justice Society" can be said to be "made from scratch"!
"Batman" came to an end after Nolan's trilogy, "Green Lantern" failed miserably at the box office and the sequel plan was abandoned, and "The Flash", "Wonder Woman" and others are nowhere to be seen. In this way, Cavill's "Superman" "He shouldered the heavy responsibility!
Because this not only means the restart of the "Superman Series", but also the beginning of the commercial expansion of the "Justice Society" project. Now it seems that Cavill's Superman has completed his mission!
Just like "Iron Man" first appeared in "Avengers" and became the leading figure throughout, I believe "Superman" will also play an equally pivotal role in "Zheng Xie".
Looking at this background of Hollywood blockbusters and superhero teams, Li Donglai's plan to create "World of Warcraft" at the expense of a lot of money is so wise! (To be continued)
