After more than a month of shooting with the "Avengers" crew, Link's scenes were essentially wrapped up, with the remaining voiceover work scheduled to commence next year.
During the filming of the Avengers, in mid-November, Link was invited to perform at Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, singing three songs and receiving a $2 million appearance fee. At the end of the month, he also made a trip to Huaxia to attend the premiere of "The Flowers of War" in Capital City.
"The Flowers of War" achieved a first-day box office of 28.75 million RMB, with the first week's box office reaching 180 million, with more than 58,000 screenings nationwide and an audience of over 3.6 million. This was much better than "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" released in the same period, but the film was somewhat inferior in terms of reputation, mainly due to many flaws in the plot, which attracted a lot of criticism from the media.
