Since mid-November 2007, Menjie officially participated in the crew of the movie "The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" and began filming the movie.
In order to film a movie, he has even neglected the post-promotional activities of his new album, and has not held any concerts for the new album "Tenderness", which makes countless Menjie fans extremely regretful.
But after all, Menjie was still working hard, and no one could say anything.
If it¡¯s not laziness, how can you accuse Menjie of anything?
So much so that, for the sake of filming, Menjie did not even attend the premiere ceremony of the movie "The Letter of Investment" invested by his company and starring himself!
After that, a day and a half after the movie "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" had just finished filming, he once again joined the crew of the movie "Wanted" and continued the hard work of filming.
Then, finally in June 2008, after completing the filming of the movie "Wanted", he turned around again and joined the crew of the movie "Twilight" and became the leading actor.
This shooting was in November 2008. I spent a full year shooting movies, and actually created three world-class masterpieces!
This year is definitely a very busy year, but at the same time, it is also a brilliant year for Menjie!
In July 2008, the first of Menjie's three films, "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor", was officially released.
When the movie was released, Menjie was still filming the movie "Twilight" and still didn't have any time to participate in the movie promotion. It was a pity, but there was no problem. Although there is no publicity from Menjie himself, his own celebrity entertainment company has launched an extremely enthusiastic promotion campaign for this movie in Asia.
??This year, Menjie has achieved great development. The same is naturally true for your own company.
Needless to say, cooperation with Korean TV dramas. Basically, among the top ten TV dramas in China and South Korea, more than half of them are produced by celebrity entertainment companies, which is absolutely shocking in Asia.
KBS TV station and Mango Channel. Basically, at the same time, there will be two to three TV series produced by celebrity entertainment companies, and the cooperation has already been extremely close.
Even occasionally, celebrity entertainment companies will produce some additional TV series, which the two TV stations cannot digest. It will also be sold to other TV stations for cooperation.
Even in Japan, we have achieved good results, and we have begun tentative cooperation and produced several TV series.
At this time, the celebrity TV company has become the well-deserved number one company in Asia. Extremely powerful!
The music company was a little behind. However, in one year, it helped all the singers under the company release an album. With the strong musical abilities of Menjie and Jay Chou, they also calmly let the company's singers release an album. Every singer's singing career has risen to a new level.
As for the ranking, it can probably be ranked among the top ten in Asia. It is also very difficult to be among the top three in China.
The development of movies is the worst, but it is already very good.
2008 year. Celebrity Entertainment Company has produced many movies, including some "masterpieces", which have caused huge waves in China!
The first of them is to see celebrity entertainment companies develop and grow. The new film "If You Are the One" directed by Feng Xiaogang, the top Chinese director, finally joined the company.
Maybe it's because last year, the movie "The Call to Action" in which Menjie participated, because Menjie used special skills on it, surpassed Feng Xiaogang's movie "Assembly Number" at the box office with a huge disparity, making him feel Depressingly, this year, Feng Xiaogang definitely performed beyond his level. Together with his old partner Ge You, he created a movie "If You Are the One".
??Easily, the movie box office score was 360 million yuan, and even because of the anger that was held in my heart, it was even higher than the original score.
What people didn't expect was that the box office performance of this movie was actually slightly higher than the box office performance of the movie "Red Cliff (Part 1)" produced by Huaxia Film Group, putting it firmly in the third place. Two.
This also allows people to see the strength of Feng Xiaogang, and how right it is for Menjie to spend an unknown amount of resources and have such huge freedom to sign Feng Xiaogang.
There is only one movie "Painted Skin" produced by Celebrity Entertainment itself this year.The investment is huge, and it is also a very important work. At the beginning, Menjie even planned to star in it himself, but he was too busy, so he had to give it up and chose the original cast of the film to star.
In the end, it won 230 million box office results in one fell swoop, becoming the third best work of the year.
The fourth place is still owned by Celebrity Entertainment, but it is the new work of Zhou Xingchi, who has a very good relationship with Menjie. It was jointly created by his own company and Celebrity Entertainment, and it has a box office of 200 million.
The script "Anita Mui" he later received from China Film Group also did not disappoint Menjie. The box office also exceeded 100 million, ranking ninth in the year.
What really surprised Menjie was the movie "Slam Dunk" that Jay Chou participated in in his spare time. It also received a terrifying box office of 140 million yuan, which was better than the original film, but it was because of this At that time, with the help of Menjie, his popularity became even higher.
At the same time, in addition to the "top ten box office movies in the mainland of the year", celebrity entertainment companies have also ambitiously produced many other movies.
About half of the movies that are really popular are independently produced by Celebrity Entertainment. However, after all, Celebrity Entertainment does not have a very strong foundation. In order to seize the market and gain development as soon as possible, it has also entered into cooperation with many other companies. Collaborate and make movies together.
Although many movies are not big hits, it has to be said that the movies that were selected by celebrity entertainment companies. At least they all made a lot of money!
In the past, it was the people within Celebrity Entertainment who knew that Menjie had extraordinary vision and could bring them benefits and honors, and regarded Menjie as a god.
Now, because many companies are cooperating with celebrity entertainment companies. The benefits gained greatly promoted Menjie's ability. Although he was no longer in the world, his legend was spread everywhere.
In this way, in just one year, Celebrity Film Company was transformed from an unknown new company. It has grown into one of the largest companies in the entire Chinese film industry. Coupled with the power of the head office, it has considerable power throughout Asia.
As long as the movie "Twilight" invested by the United States can become a hit, it will continue to be enough for celebrity film companies. It will be able to become a world-class company and easily dominate Asia. Based on this, it will take less than a few years to become one of the world's top film companies.
??The combination of movies, TV series, music and other aspects can achieve the status of the world's top entertainment company, unparalleled in the limelight!
certainly. In terms of honors, Celebrity Entertainment is not bad either!
First of all, Menjie and Jay Chou have won countless king trophies with their two albums. In terms of music, the albums of other artists under the company are also excellent. With the help of Menjie and Jay Chou, , as well as the help of many famous musicians in the company, while obtaining a lot of album sales. He also brought home many trophies for kings and queens, which greatly enriched the company's trophy collection cabinet.
The same is true for film and television. After all, whether it is movies or TV series, celebrity entertainment companies have occupied half, or even more than half, of China's top ten lists. Naturally, I came back with a lot of trophies.
¡°And what surprised Menjie was that Tang Wei¡¯s career also took off here.
Originally, the movie "Lust, Caution" was given a cold treatment, which temporarily curbed the rising momentum of Tang Wei's career. However, after Tang Wei signed a good contract with a company, he was arranged by the company to make many announcements. The company also had good capabilities, and he actually let Tang Wei. Tang Wei's career is picking up again and is obviously on the rise again.
Menjie¡¯s brilliance represents Menjie, but if Tang Wei becomes brilliant, after all, she only has one top-notch movie "Lust, Caution", but everyone who sees her will think of the movie "Lust, Caution".
In this way, the movie "Lust, Caution" was once again promoted, and there is a slight sign of rising.
In the end, as Menjie expected, a "blocking order" was issued, which directly suspended all Tang Wei's performing arts companies in China, causing a huge blow to her.
At one point, even Menjie had no contact with her, and his agency naturally suspended all her work. After some efforts, they found nothing could be done and even gave up on her.
In the end, Menjie asked Wan Tongtong to take action and directly bought her contract and became a member of Celebrity Entertainment Company!
Of course, Tang Wei was banned, and even celebrity entertainment companies could not help her to lift it directly. According to historical trends, this ban will last until 2010, which will be a long time.
But MenjieBut he also had a good idea. Directly through the relationship with his partner KBS TV station, and winning the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival with the movie "Lust, Caution", Tang Wei's strength was recognized by countless people. In the end, he actually won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival. A movie was made in South Korea and it got pretty huge recognition.
But Menjie breathed a sigh of relief.
According to the data in the Tianwang system, Tang Wei also filmed a movie called "Late Autumn" in South Korea after the ban was lifted, and even won the honor of Korean Best Actress. It seems that Tang Wei is easier to win. Only then was Menjie encouraged to give it a try.
Who knew, it really succeeded!
As a result, the development of celebrity entertainment companies is absolutely dazzling. According to people's evaluation, last year Forbes evaluated celebrity entertainment companies as worth 500 million soft sister coins, and this year, its value has even reached 5 billion soft sister coins. With such a figure, the assets have increased tenfold, which is absolutely priceless.
"If it goes public, it will be very easy for Huayi Brothers to surpass that of the past. It is possible to reach 20 to 30 billion, or even more."
In this way, Menjie¡¯s total assets have reached a higher level and are even more dazzling and brilliant.
Of course, these are all the added value of Menjie, who actually wants to make money. For Menjie, it is a very simple thing. The key lies in whether Menjie wants to do it.
What Menjie really cares about is his entertainment career.
Finally, in July 2008, Menjie¡¯s entertainment career came to an end. Ushered in a real explosion!
The movie "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" was first officially released in Xiangjiang, China on July 28, 2008.
After that, it was officially released on a global scale starting from the 31st and the 1st of the following month, and the scene was extremely grand.
certainly. There are also some countries where the film was released relatively late, such as Japan, which was officially released around August 16, about half a month later than the normal time.
What¡¯s more, Italy, for example, was one and a half months late. Just officially released.
No matter what, the movie "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" was released in all major countries around the world on September 19, 2008, and was officially canceled a month and a half later, in early November 2008.
Completed the sweeping ceremony that circled the world!
The final result. Indeed, it is not as good as the total box office of Menjie's movie "300" of 542 million U.S. dollars. Even without the help of Menjie's skills, it would only have achieved a global revenue of 3920.3 billion U.S. dollars. Total box office results.
This means that Menjie used his skills to directly increase the box office results by more than 50 million US dollars, directly raising the global box office of the movie "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" to a figure of 450 million.
"Compared to the movie "300", it is even worse at the box office by nearly 100 million.
It seems that no matter what aspect, the movie "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" is not as good as Menjie's work "300", but that is not the case.
In this movie. Menjie's role is not much different from that of the past, and he is second only to the male protagonist. However, in this movie, Menjie also has stronger strength and more handsome appearance. It was definitely a worldwide killing, which ultimately earned Menjie countless fans.
Comparing it to the movie "300" is no worse, or even worse!
Finally, after the movie "300", Menjie has another world-class masterpiece. Coupled with Menjie's increasingly profound Asian roots, Menjie has directly become a world-class actor.
Compared with the top movie stars, there is still a difference, but it is not big.
And this is just the beginning!
In early November 2008, when the global tour of the movie "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" had just ended, two more works came to the world in an instant.
First, it is naturally one of Menjie's ambitious works, and he plans to develop it into a series of movies called "Wanted". At the same time, the movie also known as "Assassin's League" by more people, is officially released!
It was finished a little later than the original release time, but it did not affect its excellence at all.
It is a very good movie in itself, and after the addition of Menjie, who is more suitable for the role of the movie's leading actor, the movie became even better.
In early November, it was also first released in Hong Kong, and in the following three and a half months, it was also released in various countries around the world.
As for Huaxia, due to audit issues, it was ranked in the last batch.A few months later, at the beginning of 2009, around the time of the New Year, it was successfully released.
The time was a little late, but it also did not affect Menjie¡¯s popularity!
After all, this movie stars Menjie.
Back then, when he played a supporting role, he was able to gain tens of millions of fans with a double blessing. After starring in such a movie, when it was released, Menjie also turned on the "Guanzhong Hero Order" throughout the whole process. , doubled the growth rate of his fans and gained a larger number of fans.
Regrettably, the box office performance of this movie is still worse than that of the movie "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor".
But it also achieved a global box office of more than 350 million U.S. dollars, and with the help of Menjie, because the fans became even larger, the total global box office eventually increased to 70 million U.S. dollars.
The box office performance of the movie "League of Assassins" exceeded the 400 million mark in one fell swoop, reaching a figure of 420 million.
Although it is not as good as the movie "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor", with an investment of 75 million U.S. dollars, it has achieved a box office result of 420 million U.S. dollars. All kinds of gains added together, it has definitely exceeded two 100 million.
??A movie has made more than 200 million in wealth, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?
?????????????????????????????????????????????????mb Out out of fear that the audience would not buy it because of finding an Asian star as the leading actor, but in the end it turned out that without Menjie's popularity, this movie would not have achieved such results.
Even after a survey later, regarding the candidate for the male lead in the future movie "Assassin's League 2", more than 70% of people expressed their hope that Menjie could continue to star.
Even among the people who participated in this vote, more than 40% said that if the male protagonist of the movie "Assassin's League 2" was not Menjie, then they would simply give up the movie and stop watching it!
Such statistics frightened Universal Entertainment Company.
You know, as long as 20% of people will say "I won't watch the movie if the male protagonist is changed", usually if the male protagonist is changed, the performance of the second movie will drop a lot. This has been a trend in Hollywood for many years.
Not to mention that 40% of people have such an attitude of supporting Menjie!
Naturally, such a result allowed Universal Pictures to directly increase the salary countless times. Inviting Menjie to participate in the filming of the future movie "Assassin's League 2" is definitely a huge salary second only to the Oscar winner!
