Chapter 241 Countless records and the new world annual plan!
"One, two!"
Han Zhou was thrown overboard in the mud, covered in mud.
This is Han Zhou's favorite training subject.
Because training will easily cause tanning, but mud subjects will not cause tanning.
Han Zhou originally thought that he would not get tanned easily, so it was not a problem for him to train and film the role of Cheng Dieyi at the same time.
However, two months after training, Han Zhou discovered that although he was naturally not prone to tanning, there was no such thing as not getting tanned in this military camp!
This is the Yanjing garrison, which is essentially a special forces unit, but it does not have a special forces number.
How should I describe the intensity of the training here? In terms of physical fitness, the intensity is three times that of ordinary soldiers; in terms of military technology, the intensity is five times that of ordinary soldiers; in terms of killing skills, the intensity is a hundred times that of ordinary soldiers.
Han Zhou gradually figured out the nature of the army.
If you were to summarize the essence of the army in one sentence.
The answer must be 'obey orders'.
If I had to summarize the essence of a soldier in non-wartime in two sentences.
That is 'learning to kill' and 'learning not to be killed'.
Of course, if it is wartime, it means "killing" and "not being killed".
Many times, when watching TV dramas, the troops we see are under blue sky and white clouds, on sunny days, sweating, pushing their physical limits, tempering their wills, and so on.
But in real combat troops, it is not that complicated. It is just about two things: how to kill people and how not to be killed.
During the three months of training, Han Zhou probably fired more bullets than an ordinary conscript could fire in ten years.
During these three months, Han Zhou completed as much weighted running as an ordinary conscript would complete in one and a half years.
During these three months, Han Zhou completed special training subjects that ordinary conscripts would never practice.
Han Zhou, who had been lying in the mud for a while, stood up and used the same method to push his teammates into the mud.
Then I realized that this was an incredible journey.
When Han Zhou first joined the army, he was basically the same as Xu Sanduo!
What are the characteristics of Xu Sanduo? He is clumsy and has a bad memory.
When Han Zhou came, he was like Xu Sanduo.
Before coming here, Han Zhou read a lot of information related to modern soldiers and our army.
After arriving, I learned a lot of confidential information in a short period of time that was only allowed to be known within the military.
Basically, he knows more than the battalion commander.
The problem is, when training, it's a 2 to 10 ratio.
For humans, learning occurs in three stages.
1. Store knowledge in your brain.
Second, establish an effective extraction path.
3. Practice repeatedly.
For ordinary people, one is to know the knowledge for the first time, two is to fully master the knowledge, and three is to practice and gain experience.
For Han Zhou, the first two are unnecessary. As long as he takes a look at them, he will remember them, and as long as he needs to use this knowledge, he will be able to extract it.
So what is missing is the third step: practice.
However, Liu Sanqi, the captain of the reconnaissance company of the garrison battalion and nicknamed "Rotator", thought that since Han Zhou could remember so much knowledge so quickly, he must be a genius.
Geniuses have their own training methods, so there is no need to give Han Zhou special training. The main team should just train on their own and let Han Zhou learn from them. I hope Han Zhou can catch up as soon as possible.
This resulted in Han Zhou having very short study time.
Although Han Zhou and he had a very good relationship because of their similar age, they still cursed each other in their hearts.
It wasn't until three months later that Han Zhou finally caught up with the progress.
Be able to hit ten out of ten pistol shots at moving targets within fifty meters, all with eight rings or above, hit twenty out of twenty shots at moving targets in three positions at one hundred and fifty meters, and hit at least eight rings at five groups of twenty-five shots at a fixed target at two hundred meters, with an average of more than nine rings.
He was also able to squat in a trench filled with tree stumps and rocks and fall asleep on a rainy night.
It is also possible to operate an infantry vehicle and determine the aim of a gun by feeling the gun without bullets.
I can also control the thermal imager, operate the computer to command the drone, learn how to helicopter descent, and perform two parachute jumps...
Three months later, I finally caught up.
Liu Sanqi took a look and realized that you are indeed a genius. Come on, show your skills.
Previously, those were the training standards for ordinary garrison battalion soldiers, but now they are following the training standards for the reconnaissance company.
This is actually equivalent to a special forces unit. The reconnaissance company of this unnumbered special forces unit is actually equivalent to a special squadron, and the training subjects are extremely complicated.
So, Han Zhou began to learn blasting knowledge, lethal fighting skills, and detective makeup skills.
Han Zhou could only be thankful that he was not forced to serve as a model soldier, because that was exhausting! Even someone as awesome as Han Zhou felt that he would not be able to handle it. That team was made up of twenty-year-olds selected from all over the country, and Han Zhou, an old smoker, was physically weaker than them.
"Okay, take a rest."
The people at the scene dispersed immediately.
Han Zhou ran away to take a shower as quickly as possible.
It's quite uncomfortable to be soaked all over.
After washing up, Han Zhou knew that he had to eat as soon as possible, otherwise he didn't know what kind of trouble would happen.
Damn, last time we finished training in the afternoon and hadn’t had dinner yet, so we all had to march 30 kilometers from day to night.
When we arrived at the destination, we did 200 push-ups, 200 push-ups with legs together, and 200 push-ups with narrow shoulders, and then we were ordered to sleep in the trench.
As a result, the trenches were filled with wood and stones, and there was no place to lie down.
It rained heavily that night. It seemed that the person who made the training plan made the decision based on the weather forecast.
It rained heavily all night, and two of the patients were taken directly to the health center by military vehicles that night, and one of them was transferred to the military hospital in the city.
After training for an entire afternoon without eating, and going straight to this intensity, we only defeated two people. This is already quite good. I heard that when this type of training was used in the first year, two soldiers were directly killed.
But the same thing still applies, it is better to sweat more on the training ground than to bleed on the battlefield. However, as the country becomes richer and the logistics catch up, such situations where people die during training are becoming less and less common.
Han Zhou had his meal and went straight back to the dormitory without waiting for extra practice.
Logically, Han Zhou should be in the same dormitory with his teammates, and should be watching the news and taking notes at this time.
But in reality, Han Zhou was arranged to sit next to the battalion commander and received the treatment of a clerk.
So Han Zhou would write something every time after training.
However, problems arose while writing.
In recent months, Han Zhou's daytime training can be said to be entirely mechanical training.
When I write at night, I still extract things from my mind. No matter how much I write, it is still mechanical.
So, in the second month, Han Zhou gave up retrieving the novel in his mind and instead wanted to write a novel himself.
With Han Zhou's experience in reproducing and adapting novels, and the concise writing skills he has honed while writing scripts in recent years, his level of novel writing is much higher than that of ordinary authors.
This time, Han Zhou asked Amin to create a small account and post the book on Longdian Chinese website.
The effect was pretty good. Although it wasn’t as popular as the copied one, after a month, it climbed to the top of the new book list in this issue of new books.
I was so excited about writing that I wrote until ten o'clock.
Han Zhou then walked out of the room, found a secluded corner, and lit a cigarette.
Don't think you can ignore discipline just because you are a special enlistment.
The first time Han Zhou typed by himself, he lit a cigarette while writing.
Then he was caught by the white hat and put in solitary confinement for two days.
This is considered good. Han Zhou had just joined the army and was still a new recruit. If he was caught smoking, he should be punished by smoking a pack of cigarettes at a time.
How can it make people unforgettable?
However, Han Zhou was not in the recruit company, so he was put in solitary confinement.
While smoking a cigarette, Han Zhou looked at the starry sky. Subconsciously, he remembered the rules for operating a drone at night. He was speechless and turned over to observe the insects in the grass.
A voice suddenly came from behind: "Aren't you going to sleep?"
Han Zhou turned around and saw that it was Liu Sanqi. At this time, Liu Sanqi was wearing a wet camouflage T-shirt. He must have just finished practicing.
Han Zhou was stunned: "Rotor... No, Captain Liu, why are you still training?"
Liu Sanqi is called Rotor because he has been doing abdominal bar rotations recently. A comrade from the south originally named him Generator.
But later Dong Bai's comrades named him Zhuan Zheng.
But Liu Sanqi hasn't practiced much in this month.
Liu Sanqi: "Is that polite?"
Han Zhou took out his own cigarette and handed one to Liu Sanqi.
Liu Sanqi: "Is that what I'm talking about? I'm talking about the rotor."
Han Zhou: "Hello, Zhuan Zhuan. Goodbye, Zhuan Zhuan."
Liu Sanqi was happy.
In fact, most of the people in this army are much younger than Liu Sanqi, only the non-commissioned officers are older than him.
In this company, Han Zhou is the only one of the same age as Liu Sanqi. Even the other company commanders are seven or eight years older than Liu Sanqi.
So Han Zhou often joked, and Liu Sanqi was also happy.
Liu Sanqi lit up his cigarette and asked: "Will you film military stories in the future?"
Han Zhou nodded: "It should be filmed."
Liu Sanqi: "Then you must make me look more handsome."
Han Zhou: "Don't worry, I won't write your rotor's nickname in it."
Just as Liu Sanqi was about to speak, he heard Han Zhou say, "Just call him Dog-headed Old Liu."
Liu Sanqi was ready to strangle Han Zhou to prevent this from happening.
The two were fighting when the deputy commander of the garrison battalion came over with his hands behind his back.
Han Zhou and Liu Sanqi stood at attention instantly.
Deputy Commander: "You two follow me."
…
Han Zhou stood outside the deputy commander's office waiting, and soon Liu Sanqi came out.
Han Zhou: "What's going on?"
As he spoke, he saw a document bag in Liu Sanqi's hand: "Transfer order?"
Liu Sanqi covered the transfer order document bag and said, "This is confidential. Why do you always like to talk too much? Don't guess what you shouldn't guess."
Han Zhou: "I'm not blind. The issuing department is on the document bag."
"You're going to the peacekeeping mission?"
"Which country?"
Liu Sanqi: "This is really confidential. I can't tell you this."
Han Zhou was happy: "Okay."
Liu Sanqi: "The deputy commander asked you to come in."
Han Zhou immediately walked to the office and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Han Zhou walked in and gave a standard military salute: "Report!"
The deputy commander took out a piece of paper and said, "Your leave has been approved."
"Go quickly and come back quickly."
Han Zhou does have two days off every week to go filming.
But this time, the problem cannot be solved in two days of vacation.
This time, the May 68th concert will be held in Los Angeles and will take at least a week.
However, the army will certainly not make things difficult for Han Zhou, but this order has to be given by the deputy commander.
Han Zhou took the order and smiled: "Yes!"
The deputy commander waved his hand and said, "I heard that you no longer use the Internet when you are filming a movie?"
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Yeah."
Han Zhou had too little time, so in order to catch up on the progress, he went out every week, immediately joined the crew, and started shooting from morning to night, including night scenes.
There was no such thing as a break.
Because the crew needed a large number of young actors, Han Zhou applied to the army. Currently, many people in the crew were transferred from the army, so they also knew Han Zhou's situation.
Deputy Commander: "There's good news this time. Your cartoon has been taken off the screen all over the world."
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment: "Huh? You still care about this?"
Why is the deputy commander concerned about this news?
Deputy Commander: "I don't care even if I don't want to pay attention to it. Please fill out this leave application yourself."
The deputy commander took out another piece of paper.
Han Zhou: “???”
Deputy Commander: "The Central Government has a series of activities that you need to attend."
Han Zhou pondered, wondering why.
Return to the dormitory.
Han Zhou sent a message to Yang Hong: "Give me all the information about Nezha."
Ever since Han Sisheng joined New World, Han Zhou has been the hands-off boss in recent months. After all, no one is more reliable than Han Sisheng in this job.
So Han Sisheng and Yang Hong discussed it all.
So Han Zhou hasn't messaged Sister Hong for a long time.
Yang Hong quickly sent the information to Han Zhou.
Han Zhou took a quick look.
Han Zhou knew the situation of Nezha in China.
During the five days before the sixth day of the Spring Festival, "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" emptied the entire box office market, and the box office directly reached 2 billion.
In just less than a week, it broke the historical box office record for Chinese-language films.
Of course, this is because it is the Spring Festival period and the box office is very concentrated. If it were during the summer vacation, it would probably take more than two weeks.
And what happened later was not surprising to anyone.
At the end of the first month, it was exactly twice the box office of the Spring Festival.
"Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" is the focus of the entertainment industry and Weibo every day. In just one month, it has directly broken the historical box office of Chinese-language films to 4 billion!
And it won the top spot in China's box office history.
Previously, "Kung Fu" was the number one in the history of Chinese-language films. This time, "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" surpassed all the records of imported films, and by a long way!
Therefore, "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" got the secret key for extension.
At the end of February in the lunar calendar, "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" was taken off the screen, with a national box office of 4.6 billion yuan.
This is not as good as its previous Wolf Warrior 2, nor as good as its previous "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" itself.
But this was shocking enough.
You know, there is the legend of Nezha in this world, but there is no Investiture of the Gods and no Journey to the West, so ordinary people are not familiar with Nezha.
This means that the data was obtained purely through original creation, with less popularity and more game promotion. After adding and subtracting, the loss of several hundred million is understandable.
Han Zhou continued to look through the information.
Around the 28th day of the first lunar month, which is also the 25th day of the second lunar month, the subtitled translated version of "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" was officially released in North America.
What was very surprising this time was that the screening rate of "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" was very high, so high that it was scary.
It’s so high that it’s even higher than the screening rate on the first day of its release in China!
The reason is simple. In North America, all cinema chains are partners of New World.
All cinema chains have participated in the coordinate release plan for "Hong Huang".
So, although it has never been involved in the distribution of large-scale commercial films, New World has connections with all theater chains.
Could it be that these theaters themselves don’t know how popular the game “Honghuang” is?
Games from the Land of Sakura are often extremely popular and often have live-action versions, including live-action anime versions and anime movie versions, and each one is well received in North America.
However, due to the production cycle, the popularity of these works is often staggered.
The release of "Nezha" happened to be when "Honghuang" was at its peak.
Over 10 million concurrent online users! Only three games in the world's history have achieved this.
Therefore, these theaters directly gave the highest screening rate.
However, the situation seemed to be beyond their expectations.
The huge success of Nezha in China did not fully extend to the North American market.
On the first day of its release in North America, the box office of "Nezha" was 14 million US dollars, and on the second day it rose slightly to 17 million US dollars.
Then it maintained a box office of over 10 million for twelve days, with a total box office of 300 million US dollars in the first two weeks.
This is more than enough for the movie. After all, this period is not a popular time period in North America, and there are not many good movies in the same batch.
However, this has caused a lot of frustration for cinema chains that want to make huge profits .
They think it may be because North American audiences are not yet accustomed to Chinese films.
Afterwards, in North America, the market lasted for more than a month and a half, and the final box office was locked in at 700 million US dollars.
As for the European market, the total is 100 million US dollars.
As for the Sakura Country market, the total is nearly 70 million US dollars.
Even though 70 million US dollars may not seem like a lot, it is actually already in the top ten of the total box office rankings in the history of the Sakura Country market. This is indeed the Sakura Country where people love the two-dimensional world more than real people. Movie fans are really rich, and it feels great to make money from them!
The box office for the entire international market finally reached more than 900 million.
Adding China's own 4.5 billion RMB, the total is about 1.6 billion US dollars.
This data can be said to be terrifying.
Han Zhou thought about it and wondered why the central bank wanted to arrange the event.
After thinking about it carefully, Han Zhou reacted.
Although "Nezha" is not as scary as imagined.
But in fact, it is also the horror of the first level!
The total global box office is 1.6 billion US dollars, which has blown the original number one anime ranking out of the water!
It turns out that the animated film with the highest global box office only made 1.1 billion!
Moreover, the original "Jungle Story" cost as much as 200 million US dollars to shoot!
The filming cost of "Nezha" is 0.6 billion RMB, or 0.08 billion US dollars.
The profit is almost twice that of "Jungle Story"!
Although Nezha’s international box office is actually slightly lower than Jungle Book, but when China is included, it’s a blast!
This is entirely due to the explosion of the Chinese film market and the dividends from local works.
Although the box office in China was several hundred million less than in the previous life, it was gaining popularity internationally because of the fans of the game.
Not only that, "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" has set almost all box office records in the animation field.
Single-day box office record, single-week box office record, total box office record.
Fastest to break 100 million, fastest to break 1 billion, fastest to reach the top.
Various box office records of European anime, all domestic anime box office records, most North American anime records, and some anime box office records in the Land of Sakura.
If you count carefully, you can find more than thirty records.
No wonder the central bank is making an effort to report on this.
Han Zhou sent a message: "What kind of activities did the Central Bank arrange, and also informed me that I must participate?"
Yang Hong replied: "It is inevitable to hold activities. Our New World has won the first place in the global box office in three categories."
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
Yang Hong: "Our horror film Final Destination is the highest-grossing horror film in the world's history, our Ne Zha: The Devil Child Comes into the World is the highest-grossing animated film in history, and our Kung Fu Hustle is the highest-grossing fighting film in the world's history."
Han Zhou: "Ah? Kung Fu is considered a fighting film?"
Yang Hong: "That's what the foreign media said, so the central bank just followed the report."
There are so many categories of movies, but in the end, there are only a few dozen, and only about twenty of them are mainstream.
New World has won three historical firsts, which is indeed worthy of special praise from the central bank.
After all, this is a very positive and influential thing for China's international image.
However, at present, "Final Destination" can only be regarded as a Sino-US co-production. Although it is fully funded by a Chinese company, the actors are all Americans.
Han Zhou: "Since the event has been arranged, let's go. Then notify Chen Dayong to come back."
Although Chen Dayong independently took charge of "Final Destination" and will be the one shooting for this series in the future.
But after all, I still have to go back to my country and I have to show up in such occasions.
What a great opportunity to show off.
As for Liu Tiantan, Han Zhou said: "Find an image designer and let Sanpao spruce him up!"
Yang Hong: "Aunt Mao has already taken action."
Did Aunt Mao take action? Then I feel relieved.
Yang Hong: "New World is now in the limelight, and the North American market generally looks at reputation. I think we can now consider officially entering Hollywood."
Han Zhou: "Wait for me for a year."
Not this year.
This year, Han Zhou wants to give two movies to himself and Chinese movie fans.
The two movies "Farewell My Concubine" and "Dying to Survive" do not allow any distraction.
After finishing these two films, Han Zhou will consider making "Jurassic Park".
However, this year is not just about making movies.
After completing the training in the first half of the year, Han Zhou also had to work on his first solo album while filming "Dying to Survive".
Use this album to declare his complete victory over the Beijing circle.
This album also opened the door to the American entertainment market.
That's right, pry it open.
After the door is pried open, Han Zhou will lead a large force to capture the American fans who have big U.S. dollars!
Han Zhou was just daydreaming when Yang Hong sent him another message: "Brother Han, why don't you pay attention to our movie? The box office of our movie "My Sassy Girl" has reached 800 million!"
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment. This tone didn't sound like Yang Hong's, but like Lu Jin's.
Han Zhou: "Lu Jin?"
Yang Hong: "Yes, Brother Han."
"Oh, it's all because your movie 'So Young' collided with ours, otherwise we might have been able to break 1 billion."
Han Zhou reacted and realized that both "So Young" and "My Sassy Girl" were released during the Valentine's Day period.
"So Young" was originally expected to have a box office of 700 million, while "My Sassy Girl" was expected to have 1 billion.
They didn't actually crash.
Instead, they all became victims of "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World". Even in the third and fourth weeks, Nezha still affected the box office of these two movies.
New World has developed to the point where its own films are competing with each other for box office.
Han Zhou: "Sister Hong, keep an eye on the TV. We need to be cautious with movies right now and start more TV series."
"Tell Zhou Xuyun that In the Name of People can start filming."
"In addition, we have released news that the group variety show and team TV series "Winter of Idols" have begun filming and will be released during the summer vacation. Zhang Jiuquan and Wang Chao will still be the main actors."
"Winter of Idols" is the sequel to "Summer of Idols" and is also a girl group selection.
It’s all over now, and the girl group, New Age Girls, has been selected.
However, girl groups don’t make as much money as boy groups, so they don’t have as many commercial performances.
If you want to continue making money, you can’t do it like a boy band, you have to pay attention.
Han Zhou happened to have a TV series that needed to be filmed immediately and required a large number of young actresses, "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
Although Han Zhou has not been active in the entertainment industry this year, it has been his most active year since the establishment of New World.
…
The central bank’s special event has three programs.
In the film introduction program section of the electronic audio channel, Han Zhou, Liu Tiantan and Chen Dayong each produced an episode.
Then we did an interview program, talking about the development of New World and the development of Chinese films.
Then Han Zhou participated alone in an episode of "My Classroom" which was broadcast on CCTV Channel 1 and was similar to "Let's Talk".
After recording the show, Han Zhou boarded a plane and rushed to the United States.
This time, Han Zhou's friends, younger brothers, and older brothers all came out in full force to Los Angeles to support Han Zhou.
This time, Han Zhou did not prepare too many new songs. After all, Han Zhou did not have time to rehearse new songs with Chen Feng and others.
He did leave two new solo songs for himself, and also arranged for An Lan to appear as a guest.
At this time, Han Zhou didn't know that a large number of Chinese fans in Los Angeles were complaining that they couldn't buy tickets!
