BEIJING Wholesale Colorado Avalanche Jerseys , May 23 (Xinhua) -- It was no surprise when Zhang Yimou's latest film, "Coming Home", raked in 82.4 million yuan (about 13.47 million U.S. dollars) at the box office on its opening weekend.
The highly anticipated drama pulled in 30 million yuan on May 16, an opening-day record for a Zhang movie, according to production company Le Vision Pictures.
Critics predict the film will earn between 200 million and 300 million yuan Wholesale Chicago Blackhawks Jerseys , which would be a record for an art film in China.
Zhang has seldom had to worry about box office takings, especially for films like "Hero" (2002), one of China's highest grossing films ever, which took 250 million yuan.
But this time he abandoned commercial appeal to return to one of his favorite themes: a love story with twists and turns.
"Coming Home" is a return to Zhang's artistic roots, according to critics.
Based on the last 30 pages of the novel "The Criminal Lu Yanshi" by Yan Geling Wholesale Carolina Hurricanes Jerseys , "Coming Home" starring Gong Li and Chen Daoming tells how a former professor tries but fails to make up with his wife when he is transferred from one labor camp to another in the early 1970s. He returns home after three years only to find his wife has amnesia.
The romance has three main characters and its plot and settings are simple, similar to Zhang's other love stories like "Red Sorghum" (1987) and "Ju Dou" (1992).
"In this film, Zhang Yimou doesn't use magnificent scenery to impress audiences, rather he tries to evoke their emotions in an aesthetic way," said Professor Yin Hong at Tsinghua School of Journalism and Communication.
Zhang has returned to his respect for art and soul from the road of commercialism and consumerism Wholesale Calgary Flames Jerseys , according to Prof. Yin.
The pinnacle of Zhang's career as a director came in the late 1980s and early 1990s, during which he focused on the gritty realities of life. In 2002, Zhang began to direct commercial blockbusters with his first epic "Hero".
During the following years, Zhang directed expensive martial arts films with epic scenes, including "House of Flying Daggers" (2004) Wholesale Buffalo Sabres Jerseys , "Curse of the Golden Flower" (2006) and "A Simple Noodle Story" (2009). They received mixed reviews from both critics and audiences.
Zhang has the artistic capacity to depict emotion and sex to their extremes, said Zhang Yiwu, a professor at Peking University. The focus on the suffering emotions between Lu Yanshi and Feng Wanyu in "Coming Home" is Zhang's attempt to return to his gritty style.
"Coming Home" was the first collaboration between Gong Li and Zhang since "Curse of the Golden Flower" in 2006.
"Gong Li is Zhang's exquisite inspiration for every film during Zhang's peak period," said Zhang Yiwu.
Working with Gong was another sign of Zhang returning to his artistic roots, he said.
"But Wholesale Boston Bruins Jerseys , one film like 'Coming Home' doesn't mean Zhang will simply return exclusively to art films," said Zhang Yiwu.
The innovative director reveals something new in every film, he added.
Zhang's films are noted for their rich use of color. The muted use of color in his latest movie means it is different from his earlier art films, including "Red Sorghum" and "Raise the Red Lantern" (1991).
"Coming Home" attracts a niche audience. The prospects for Chinese cinema is bright, but finding an audience is a different question for every Chinese director Wholesale Arizona Coyotes Jerseys , Zhang Yimou included, said Zhang Yiwu.
Without positive cashflow any business will eventually bleed to death and have to close its doors. It's the brutal reality and truth of business and it's just plain common sense.
Home businesses are no different.
The problem with the majority of home businesses is that they are in the network marketing arena and the cash generated by a sale or an enrollment puts relatively few dollars in the associates pocket. That person may have spent hundreds of dollars on leads and advertising and countless hours on the phone only to find that they made a measly $50-$100 on signups. The worst part is... 9 times out of 10 those newly enrolled business builders give up and quit faster than a New York minute. Then it's back to the drawing board... frustrating to say the least.
Clearly, this is a situation of negative cashflow and it is why just about everyone who attempts to make it with a home based business fails. They simply can't afford to bankroll the startup period in network marketing where the attrition is high Wholesale Anaheim Ducks Jerseys ,the finances are low, and there isn't any income coming in yet to support the growth of their business. Does any of this resonate with you?
But, there is an answer...
Every marketing "guru" out there agrees on this method and use it themselves... What they do is sell a retail product or service upfront that attracts the kind of people that they are looking for to place into their MLM. Essentially, people already interested and involved in the home based business arena.
To sum it up, they are selling tools are training and getting paid to prospect.
People come to them. People buy from them. They build a relationship with them. They database all of their customer's names. Then they backend some of these people into their MLM deal.
The beautiful part is that they don't care if someone joins their MLM opportunity as much because they already got paid by selling something upfront.
