Zhou Yiyang sat in the office, drinking tea made by his assistant, and his expression was still very comfortable.
"Mr. Zhou," the assistant asked after seeing that Zhou Yiyang was in a good mood, "Is that Moonlight Girl coming back today?"
"Yes, they are returning to Shanghai today." Zhou Yiyang raised an eyebrow, looked at his schedule and added, "I have arranged for Guan Fei to pick them up at the airport. As for me, I have an interview later."
"Yes, Mr. Zhou," the assistant immediately stood up straight. "We've already discussed the interview questions."
Zhou Yiyang nodded. He picked it up and took a look, but didn't have any special reaction. "Well, it's basically all movie-related."
The interview was conducted jointly by a newspaper in Shencheng City and the government.
After all, "The Fortress" is a project co-produced with the government. Not only did it earn 1.7 billion yuan in box office revenue in China in seven days, breaking the Spring Festival record, it also aimed at the number one spot on China's box office list.
It can be said that Zhou Yiyang has once again made science fiction films, a genre that many actors and even directors dislike, popular.
However, these are even bold predictions made by many people.
Who knew that Zhou Yiyang would bring them a different surprise.
"The Fortress" also reaped the overseas box office this time.
After one week of release, it also achieved a good result of 70 million US dollars in the United States. Many North American institutions predicted that it would eventually hit the box office record of 200 million.
If successful, it will significantly refresh the box office of Chinese films in North America.
We have also achieved good results in other countries, but compared with the two largest markets, the United States and China, even if the record is broken, the number is still insignificant.
The Shanghai Municipal Government is very pleased with this behavior of exporting products overseas and receiving positive reviews.
That's why they decided to interview Zhou Yiyang and praise his efforts in cultural output.
"Mr. Zhou," the interviewing reporter casually sat across from Zhou Yiyang, "Did you expect the box office to be so good this time?"
Zhou Yiyang immediately shook his head and said seriously, "Before this, I wouldn't have dared to think so. Box office figures are too random."
"Before you, there were almost no science fiction films that were successful. So how did you decide to make a science fiction movie?"
Zhou Yiyang smiled and continued, "Although I make movies to make money, I also have a more idealistic reason, which is to bring the stories I like to the screen and let others see them."
"So such excellent results are also due to your love for film. I think this should be a great encouragement to those practitioners who are still holding on to their dreams and hope to make achievements in the film and television industry."
The reporter paused and asked one last question: "Audiences at home and abroad are very curious about whether there will be a sequel to this film. Especially the AI Su San, will her story continue?"
"Maybe," Zhou Yiyang smiled. "Do you want to see the story of how artificial intelligence awakens and rebels against humanity?"
This interview was broadcast live, and Zhou Yiyang's closing remarks quickly became a hot topic.
What he didn't expect was that so many people wanted to see it. His latest Weibo post received over 100,000 comments, all of which were in support of him continuing to film.
He even received private messages from friends in the industry, who were ready to invest heavily in his new movie.
Zhou Yiyang had to explain that even if there was a sequel, it would not be filmed immediately.
He still wants to try different themes, such as war films, action films, etc.
On the other side, Guan Fei sat in the airport for a long time, and the first person she met was Wang Xingrui.
"Ruirui, you are the first one to arrive?" Guan Fei thought Su Yin or Tang Yue arrived first!
"Yeah," Wang Xingrui stretched, but Guan Fei immediately pulled her behind him. "Although we never revealed your whereabouts, your fans have been waiting here these days."
"Really?" Wang Xingrui raised her eyebrows, looking quite surprised: "How did they guess we were coming?"
"It's just an estimate. Your concert tickets are already sold out. So they're guessing you'll be back soon, which is pretty normal."
"But I heard that many people didn't get tickets for our concert." Several of Wang Xingrui's friends complained to her.
They had originally planned to grab tickets just in time, but when the time came, they were stuck. When they came to their senses, they found that the tickets were gone.
"Yeah." Guan Fei nodded, looking rather helpless. "This time, many foreign friends came to grab tickets. Although there are still overseas shows, they're only on sale in the second batch. So many people came across the border to buy tickets just to be the first to see your concert."
As Guan Fei was speaking, his cell phone rang. It was Tang Yue calling.
She trotted over, fanning herself vigorously, looking very hot. "I didn't expect to be recognized on the plane! I was stared at the whole time, so I was so shy."
Wang Xingrui rolled her eyes, completely disbelieving Tang Yue's explanation. "No way, Tangtang, given your personality, you should be incredibly happy! After all, so many people recognized you, which means you're famous."
"It's mainly because the passengers on my flight weren't young people," Tang Yue shrugged. She was also shocked by the result. "Those uncles and aunts looked at me very excitedly. They didn't take any random photos, they just stared at me with a smile."
"Pfft," Wang Xingrui thought about the scene and felt a little embarrassed: "What can we do? After the Spring Festival Gala, our popularity among the middle-aged and elderly groups has increased."
"Yeah," Tang Yue immediately looked at Guan Fei beside her: "Where's Xiao Xiao Su? Hasn't she come yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yin appeared.
She waved to everyone and said with a smile, "My flight was missed. You must have been waiting for a long time, right?"
Tang Yue shook her head: "Not long ago, we actually just arrived."
"Yes," Wang Xingrui curled her lips, "Then we can call Xuan'er and ask her to leave."
"I really envy her," Su Yin said, carrying a large suitcase. "She could just take a taxi. She wouldn't have to carry anything."
"Come to think of it," Tang Yue glanced at the big box. She remembered that Su Yin didn't take it with her when she left. "What's in it?"
"Guess what?" Su Yin asked mysteriously.
Wang Xingrui walked over and picked it up. It was heavier than she had imagined. "It should be food, right?"
"Ruirui, you're so smart!" Su Yin introduced, "This is the pastry my mother made at home. This is probably the longest vacation she and I have spent together. She made a lot of pastries when she had nothing to do. We can share them later!"
