Chapter 260 The low-budget hit "Heart Labyrinth"

"The Maze" grossed 21 million in its first week, with a production cost of only 3 million, which has already announced the movie as a big hit!

It almost made it into the annual box office chart in just seven days, and was only four million away from Fang Long's "Back to the Past".

Lightyear Media’s movie has once again been a huge success, or rather, Chen An’s script has always been a winner!

"I don't know if you have noticed that the movies written by Chen An are all pretty good, with good box office and reputation."

"Then have you noticed that both movies directed by new directors have Jiang Wen as the lead role, and they smell like Jiang Wen? These don't mean anything."

"It's already grossed 21 million in just one week. Are all Chen An Guangnian Media's movies this good?"

"No wonder he was dragged into this. Who wouldn't be jealous of him making so much money?"

"."

With the success of the release of "The Heart Labyrinth", some people began to find statistics online.

All the works written or directed by Chen An have been a huge success both at home and abroad, without exception!

He has maintained his undefeated status for so many years since his debut!

In particular, the two times I gave scripts to new directors for filming were both successful.

The quality of the script is still increasing!

Chen Wei finally let go of his worry. No matter what others said, it was the first movie he directed and it was so successful, how could he not be happy?

Although the box office began to drop sharply after the holiday, it still remained at the million level.

not bad.

There will be no problem in entering the top ten box office list of the year.

There is also good news from abroad.

"Saw", which has been released for more than a month, has exceeded 70 million US dollars in the North American market!

The film is currently being released worldwide, and it is basically certain to gross over 100 million yuan worldwide. Of course, as for the domestic version, don't even think about introducing it.

"What are you writing again?"

Zeng Li rushed into the study with a box of strawberries and watched Chen An writing something quickly.

"It's a foreign script. Here, this one."

Chen An answered and raised his head and pointed at the Batman suit in the corner.

"Can't you write something about China? I haven't filmed your movie for a long time." Zeng Li complained while eating fruit.

"The domestic market is so small. If I want to make a blockbuster, I have to consider whether the overseas market will accept it. Your acting skills can't keep up with the art. Why do you think that is?"

"It just means that my acting is bad."

"I didn't say that."

What you said has nothing to do with me, Chen An said.

"You're the only one who thinks my acting is bad, other directors all praise me."

"They praise you because you are famous. The most basic thing for an actor is acting skills. Look at those famous beauties in Hong Kong Island. Most of them are now eliminated."

Ignoring the other person's resentful look, Chen An picked up a strawberry and put it in his mouth.

The taste is just average, I don't know why the other party likes it. It's worse than strawberry juice which is full of additives without a trace of strawberry.

Being a good-looking actress may make you famous, but what really makes you stay famous for a long time is your acting skills.

Zhang Manyu is a typical example. When she first debuted in her youth, she was called a vase. Later, she devoted herself to acting and won numerous film awards.

Of course, this is the same for both male and female actors.

"However, I do have an idea for a film, but it's still under consideration. If your performance in the film collaboration with Feng Xiaogang satisfies me this time, I will consider letting you be the female lead."

"Really?"

Zeng Li, who was surprised, immediately became interested and asked curiously, "What's the subject?"

"Keep it a secret. Finish filming the movie first." Chen An said mysteriously.

"Ah, the movie hasn't even started filming yet, but they gave me the contract and the script. Yesterday they gave me a new script, and I don't even know when filming will start." Zeng Li rolled her eyes and said. I received the news a long time ago, read the script and signed the contract, but there's still no news of filming, and they gave me a new script. I don't know what's going on.

Chen An knew that the script had to be revised several times before it was approved, but he thought it was fine this way.

"That would be better. I can read more scripts and prepare more. Besides, my project is not a short-term one."

"But I want to know now, who told you to let me hear it."

But Zeng Li suddenly started to act coquettishly.

With her long legs slung over her shoulders, she sat on Chen An's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck and said coquettishly, "Tell me now, I promise not to spread it."

Especially I won’t let Yu Jinghong know, I must get it this time.

"No." Chen An refused directly and adjusted the gear. He felt uncomfortable being pressed.

Seeing that acting coquettishly didn't work, Zeng Li started to speak harshly, "You'd better tell me, I haven't settled the score with you for her wearing my clothes!" Her eyes were wide open, and her vicious look was accompanied by a hint of shyness, which had no lethality at all.

"This matter has been overturned long ago. It never happened. Don't make it up. I'm suing you for defamation!"

"You let it slip, and you still say you didn't!"

"Hey, stop, I just moved away"

"."

The criminal Chen An, who was finally tricked into confessing by the female detective, was subjected to strict interrogation. He remained silent during the interrogation, and eventually the female detective ran out of patience and gave up.

The criminal Chen An was released on the spot!

Looking at the messy scene, Chen An decided he couldn't continue writing the script today, so he had to give up.

After four weeks, the release of "The Heart Labyrinth" finally came to an end.

There is no strong box office performance like "Shoplifters".

The final box office of the movie was 39 million!
It has made it into the top ten of the annual box office list and is a huge success!

Even though he has been questioned, Chen Wei has undoubtedly become a highly anticipated new star director!
On the same day, Light Year Media also held a grand celebration banquet.

At the banquet, Chen An took the initiative to give the main seat to the happy Chen Wei and happily smashed the ice.

Chen An mainly chatted with Jiang Wen.

"Thank you for your help. I will pay you back as soon as possible." Jiang Wen expressed his gratitude to Chen An at the banquet.

"It's no big deal. It doesn't matter whether you pay it back or not. You've made me a lot of money."

Chen An knew that he was talking about his ex-girlfriend.

"Let's be clear. I didn't ask you to make a movie for money. She's here too. Wait, I'll take you to meet her. She said she wanted to thank you in person."

Jiang Wen shook his head. The money he earned from the movie was not the same as the money he borrowed.

I just contributed my part and wanted to have fun and make some money. The script Chen An gave me was good, and those two people were talented and I was willing to teach them.

He never felt that the money had anything to do with him.

"Why thank me? It's mainly you who's relying on me. You've looked quite haggard during this period of time."

Chen An also shook his head. The main reason for this was that Jiang Wen had been running around everywhere. He looked much more haggard, with untidy beard and looked much older, which was very different from his previous appearance.

I just lent him some money. It has nothing to do with Liu Xiaoqing. I just lent it to Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen patted Chen An on the shoulder and said only two words: "Thank you."

But he still pulled Chen An forward.

More than four million is not a small amount of money. I thought about it for a long time and finally found Chen An.

Chen An didn't say much and just handed over a check. The man didn't know what to say and could only keep it in his mind.

"Director Chen, thank you so much for your help. After hearing what Jiang Wen said, I really don't know how to thank you. Don't worry, no matter what, I will pay you back as soon as possible."

When Chen An saw Liu Xiaoqing again, he felt that he had aged a lot.

She no longer has the aura of the former wealthy woman, but she still looks full of confidence.
