“Although the first day's box office in the mainland did not exceed 10 million, through excellent word-of-mouth and growth over the weekend.”
“It still took in 31.45 million in mainland box office for its opening weekend. The Hong Kong box office also reached 15 million.”

“Although genius gunner has not yet been released in the United States.”
“ETS still noticed the strong public reaction caused by the film.”
“And responded to this, stating that no similar cheating incidents have occurred in the SAT so far. ETS will also take precautions and strengthen supervision in future exams.”
Netizens were also amazed.
A film from Rongchen Film and Television even caught the attention of domestic educational departments and the ETS in the United States.
It truly was extraordinary, like a god's fart.
Thanks to this, Tang Yan firmly entered the ranks of first-tier actresses.
Her endorsement fees rose to eight million, and her acting fees also increased accordingly.
It is believed that by December, when genius gunner is released in Europe and America.
Tang Yan will become known to more people.
Even the other two male supporting actors, Luo Jin and Xiang Zuo, became famous overnight.
And Shu Chang, with her brilliant performance in the film, also established herself in the film industry.
Two flowers bloomed across the ocean.
Li Chen held a celebration banquet in Hollywood.
Han Sanping held a grand celebration for father's love 2 in Beijing.
Xiang Huaqiang was not idle in Hong Kong either, with the Two Shores and Three Regions linked together.
Three celebration banquets, three films, all inextricably linked with Rongchen Film and Television.
Echoing each other, it was quite lively.
father's love 2 surpassing the banquet and rob-b-hood was truly gratifying.
With Han Sanping's personality, how could he be low-key?
At the celebration banquet, in front of all the guests.
He even gleefully announced the overseas copyright transaction amount of father's love 2 to the media and guests.
28.5 million US dollars!
Another work that made a fortune.
When asked by the media about the transaction amount of ip man.
Han Sanping smiled even more complacently.
He only subtly revealed that although it was not as high as father's love 2, it was not far off.
Xiang Huaqiang in Hong Kong also announced the overseas copyright transaction amount of genius gunner at the celebration reception.
27.25 million US dollars!
Industry insiders estimate that conservatively, the overseas copyright amount and box office profit of Rongchen Film and Television's three films are not less than 100 million US dollars.
After all, genius gunner and insidious 2 have been released for less than a week.
Tang Yan firmly stepped into the first tier.
This also greatly encouraged Yang Mi.
She believed that she would sooner or later become a popular first-tier actress.
Seeing Rongchen Film and Television's boundless glory.
Wang Zhonglei's bitterness was known only to him.
Huayi Brothers paid money, and kung fu king only added one role.
But one role also made him difficult.
Huayi Brothers' Fan Wenfang, Ruby Lin, Fan Bingbing, and Li Bingbing were already eagerly waiting.
Fan Wenfang and Ruby Lin were fine, after all, they came later.
But Shuang Bing completely stumped him.
He didn't expect Li Xue to dare to talk back to him this time.
And his brother was also on Li Bingbing's side.
But he had already made a big promise to Xiao Fan.
Wang Zhonglei's head ached from thinking, what kind of mess was this!
That bastard Li Chen, with no effort, without spending a dime, got a role for Liu Yifei.
How come when it came to him, he paid money and still had to rack his brains and couldn't find peace?
While he was thinking, Fan Bingbing knocked and entered.
Looking at the increasingly beautiful and enchanting Xiao Fan in front of him.
Wang Zhonglei made up his mind.
“Xiao Fan is here?” Wang Zhonglei stood up and walked around the desk.
He affectionately put his arm around Fan Bingbing and led her to the sofa, sitting down next to her without any hesitation.
“Director Wang called me, how dare I not come?” Fan Bingbing smiled charmingly.
She was also extremely busy.
She had to film apple and promote battle of wits, not a moment of rest.
“Look at you, I called you here to tell you good news.” Wang Zhonglei said with a smile.
Fan Bingbing smoothed her hair, unmoved.
The recent events between Huayi Brothers and Rongchen Film and Television also made her understand.
It's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
Today's Huayi Brothers was no longer the Huayi Brothers of the past.
Moreover, Huayi Brothers had signed her former 'madam' Ruby Lin.
How could Jin Suo, who came from a maid's background, feel at ease?
Coincidentally, Mu Xiaoguang, a famous agent from Taiwan who had been in contact with her for the past two years, met her secretly in Beijing a few days ago.
One sentence moved her.
“Instead of choosing an agency, why not establish your own studio and become the one who chooses others!”
The concept of a studio, for artists in 2006, was still a novelty.
At that time, most artists were still controlled by agencies and had no choice.
It could be said that Mu Xiaoguang saw through Fan Bingbing's restless heart at a glance.
The two hit it off immediately and decided to establish Fan Bingbing Studio in February of next year.
After Fan Bingbing's contract with Huayi Brothers expired.
And Mu Xiaoguang also gave her advice.
Although she left Huayi Brothers, it was best to maintain a good relationship even if the business didn't work out.
If she could attract investment from Huayi Brothers, or even Rongchen Film and Television.
That would undoubtedly be half successful.
And Mu Xiaoguang would also introduce Hong Kong capital to her studio.
Coupled with Mu Xiaoguang's strength in Taiwan.
In the future, Fan Bingbing Studio would be unstoppable in the Two Shores and Three Regions.
Fan Bingbing was invigorated by his words.
Just like Liu Bei, who met Zhuge Liang in the thatched cottage back then.
A few words pointed out the way for her, and Fan Bingbing was extremely excited.
Wang Zhonglei's heart sank, Fan Bingbing's expression was too detached.
“Xiao Fan, the company spent a lot of money to get you a role in that film with Jackie Chan and Li Lianjie.”
Fan Bingbing's eyes lit up: “Really?”
Wang Zhonglei chuckled: “Of course, Big Brother preferred Li Bingbing, but I still decided to give it to you.”
Although she didn't know how credible these words were, Fan Bingbing felt much more comfortable hearing them.
She even seemed less concerned about the company signing Ruby Lin.
But as soon as she thought of what Mu Xiaoguang said, she secretly cursed herself for being spineless.
One role made her forget her original intention.
Wang Zhonglei had been observing Fan Bingbing's eyes.
Seeing her suddenly lose desire for the role again, his heart sank again.
He secretly wondered if it was true, as the outside world said, that Xiao Fan had already reached an agreement with Rongchen Film and Television.
It seemed he wouldn't be able to keep her without some strong bait!
“Please wait a moment.”
Wang Zhonglei stood up and opened the safe.
He took out an envelope from inside.
Then he returned to Fan Bingbing's side and sat down.
He said calmly: “Open it and see if you like it.”
Fan Bingbing was curious what it could be.
She opened it and looked, her pupils suddenly dilating.
Wang Zhonglei was very satisfied with Fan Bingbing's expression.
“Xiao Fan, I can guarantee. At this price, you are the first person in the country.”
“You should have seen my sincerity, right?”
“How about it? As long as you sign, all of this is yours!”
Fan Bingbing's heart was in turmoil.
Because what was in front of her was a three-year contract.
The amount was: 200,000,000!
Although there was a Chinese character amount displayed, the long string of zeros still dazzled her eyes.
She was no longer in the tight situation of living on four hundred yuan a month when she first came to Beijing.
But this many zeros, she had never seen before.
Fan Bingbing began to hesitate.
Wang Zhonglei crossed his arms, in a posture of complete control.
Fan Bingbing only thought for less than half a minute.
Then she said something that greatly disappointed Wang Zhonglei.
“Director Wang, all good things must come to an end. I want to go out and make my own way.”
Wang Zhonglei thought he had misheard.
“Are you alright, Xiao Fan?”
