Chapter 390
"This is not only the third-highest-grossing film in cinema history, but more shockingly, it is a science fiction film. As everyone knows, our Huaxia nation's sci-fi film history is quite pathetic, practically a sci-fi desert. However, the emergence of *Resident Evil* and its achievement of such high box office numbers has, in a sense, changed the landscape of our country's sci-fi scene. While one cannot say that Huaxia sci-fi has stood up from this moment on, it is undeniable that they have set a very successful example for Huaxia sci-fi. Lady Jiang Yu is the savior of Huaxia sci-fi!" a well-known director commented highly in an industry group chat.
As soon as the news was released, countless voices of agreement appeared.
"Yes. I have always believed that it is not that we Huaxia people do not like the romance and imagination brought by sci-fi; after all, every year foreign sci-fi films achieve good box office results in Huaxia, even becoming the box office champions for their release periods! It is just because we have never found the right path to film sci-fi, and now, this path has been found by Lady Jiang Yu!"
"Sci-fi and action combined with thriller, ultimately reaping five billion in box office! I remember the reported investment for *Resident Evil* was five hundred million, right?"
"Correct! This is a true ten-fold return!"
"They have taught us a good lesson again!"
"Too powerful! Who would dare believe they have been directors for less than two years!"
"I'm kneeling!"
"Master, please accept my kowtow!"
"These twins are getting more and more uncanny."
"Next time, we must avoid Lady Jiang Yu's films."
"..."
Many in the industry made up their minds: next time, if they happen to clash with a TV series or film by Lady Jiang Yu, they will perform a tactical retreat!
Because these twins are simply too good at 'rolling' (competing), and it is hard not to lose to them.
"Perhaps only those Hollywood blockbusters can compete with them," one director thought to himself.
In his view, although Lady Jiang Yu is strong, they are still far behind Hollywood.
Counting the box office successes of these three films by Lady Jiang Yu, none of them clashed with foreign blockbusters.
Once Lady Jiang Yu's films encounter a blockbuster from Hollywood in the United States, they might not be able to get such high box office numbers.
After all, that place has created numerous classic blockbusters.
It is the place of longing for countless film professionals and stars in the circle.
In the circle, many people have an international dream, wanting to break out of Huaxia and become global superstars. Some even, as top-tier domestic film emperors and empresses, go to Hollywood blockbusters to play small supporting roles, just to increase their global popularity and move towards the international stage.
But in the end, very few succeed.
The young girls were not paying attention to the movements on the internet and in the circle at this moment.
The sisters were separated in two places, both very busy.
"Okay, I understand." In Hengdian, Lady Jiang Yu answered a phone call and then hung up.
It wasn't a big deal, anyway.
It was just that the overseas release of *Resident Evil* had been finalized.
In fact.
As early as when filming this movie, the young girl had the idea of releasing it overseas.
After all, the original version of this film was made by the West, and they wanted to test the global market's reaction to it, but helplessly, the Lady Jiang Yu Studio developed too fast and did not have resources in this area.
They could only choose to release it domestically for the time being.
And after the film truly became a hit, without the young girl needing to reach out, major companies with foreign theater resources came knocking on their door.
Hence, that phone call just now.
The phone call said that the global release date for *Resident Evil* had been arranged for early May.
Regarding this, the young girl had no objections.
She mainly wanted to test the reaction of the overseas market.
Of course, being able to rake in some extra box office revenue was also very good.
After all, no one would complain about having more money in their pocket.
Suddenly.
A system notification sound rang in the young girl's ears.
【Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the five-billion box office mission!】
【Congratulations to the host for obtaining two silver treasure chests and two golden treasure chests!】
【Do you want to open them immediately?】
"Open!"
Regarding treasure chests, the young girl no longer cherished them as much as she did when she first transmigrated; there was no help for it, she was rich now, and her backbone was stiff.
Therefore, she chose to open them directly.
Now, for the works in the system, they mostly choose to spend money to customize them directly.
One reason is that doing so avoids having to gamble on luck within the system.
The second is to complete the 'pay-to-win' missions.
It always feels like the pay-to-win missions released by the system cannot keep up with the speed at which they earn money.
【Congratulations to the host for obtaining the song reward: "Everywhere Kiss"】
This is a classic Cantonese song.
Lady Jiang Yu nodded.
Not bad.
【Congratulations to the host for obtaining the script reward: *The Bad Kids*】
Lady Jiang Yu raised her eyebrows slightly.
She didn't expect that this show would be drawn; originally, she had thought that when she wanted to film it later, she would just spend money to customize it.
This show is adapted from a mystery novel called *Bad Kids*.
It can be said that there are no good people in the whole film, including the children who should have been pure and kind, and the whole film is filled with various reversals.
If it can be filmed, it will be very exciting.
【Congratulations to the host for obtaining the script reward: *Shushan*】
This reward actually stunned Lady Jiang Yu for a moment...
In her previous life, the box office performance of the film *Shushan* was not high.
Instead, because it burned too much on special effects, they even lost their pants.
It was mainly because many settings in this film were too advanced, and not many people could accept them at the time.
But unexpectedly, as time passed, the reputation of this film actually reversed.
From a rotten film mocked by everyone in the early years, it became an unforgettable classic.
This film is like the *Sword and Fairy* series... originally thought to be just the starting point, but unexpectedly it was the peak.
【Congratulations to the host for obtaining the talent: Immunity to All Poisons!】
Lady Jiang Yu blinked her eyes.
It seems this talent is useless?
But it's better than nothing.
In the days that followed.
The young girl lived a peaceful and busy life.
The filming of *Kung Fu Jungle* was fast, taking only one month to wrap up; after all, this film did not have a high cost, and there were few large scenes. It was a pure martial arts film, relatively simple to shoot.
After throwing the post-production to the post-production department of the North Star Company, Lady Jiang Yu rushed to Hengdian without stopping to assist Lady Jiang Yu in filming *The Proud Twins*.
As the saying goes, "Twins paired, work is not tiring."
In just three months, the sisters finished filming *The Proud Twins* and entered the post-production stage.
And at this time, *Reset* was still in filming.
The young girl did not urge Shen Ying and Chen Mingliang; their first film did not need to be rushed, mainly to accumulate experience. Slow work produces fine products.
With this film as a foundation, their next filming will be much smoother.
It is worth mentioning that *Resident Evil* achieved a total box office of 510 million USD in the overseas market.
It seems like not much, but it has shocked the film and television people in Huaxia to the point of no return!
This is the best box office result achieved by a local Huaxia film after being released overseas!
In a sense, Lady Jiang Yu has created history again!
And as the film made waves in the global market, the twins also began to have popularity and fame in various countries.
Although they are Asians.
But the aesthetics of the whole Blue Star are the same; everyone likes big-eyed, well-featured beauties, not the small-eyed deformed aesthetics like in Qingmei. Plus, the film's successful portrayal of the heroine made Lady Jiang Yu and Lady Jiang Yu known by more and more foreigners through the film.
This made many stars in Huaxia jealous to the point of madness. How could such a difficult thing as gaining global fame be done so easily by those twins?
