Chapter Fifty-Eight: Li Bai Hotying, a New Challenge

This week, "Li Bai" was released, and the box office showed no signs of weakness and rose steadily.

In just one week, the box office has reached 430 million.

According to this trend, this movie is definitely a big profit. Even because there are no competitors in the same period, you can still make a lot of money.

Ding Meng, an investor in Qianda Pictures, as a casting judge at that time, strongly recommended Wang Feiyu to play Li Bai, and he regretted it at the moment.

Because of him, Qianda's investment was reduced to one-third and made a lot of money less.

He didn't think something was right.

Hong Chen is not a traffic star, why does he have such box office appeal?

Maybe it's not because of Hong Chen's personal reasons, but because of the overall quality of the movie "Li Bai"?

Could it be that the public's taste has changed now?

Ding Meng recalled for a moment, and was suddenly startled.

What kind of movie could have achieved the box office a few years ago, the style of "Little Times" relied on traffic.

Because the people who go to the movies are often star-chasers, and most of them are women, and men are more just watching with their girlfriends, and the decision is in the hands of women.

At that time, young women preferred this kind of film, and producers had to make such films to have a market.

And now, with the gradual improvement of living standards, watching movies has become a very common pastime.

People are starting to pay attention to the quality of the film and are willing to pay for the quality of the movie.

This is an important megatrend for investors.

Ding Meng thought about it, but decided not to say anything. The leaders above didn't speak, and he just ran errands for a small role.

On Hong Chen's side, as long as the "Li Bai" movie can be profitable, he will be satisfied.

Because if the movie fails, the leading actor will easily take the blame, be sprayed as a dog, and then become box office poison, facing the dilemma of never being able to shoot again.

With a week's rest, Hong Chen went home to visit his parents.

His hometown is in Datong, a small city not far from Kyoto, and after the change of a great mayor, the environment is very good, which is very suitable for retirement.

He originally wanted to pick up his parents and go to Kyoto, but the second elder was not used to the big city, so he didn't go.

Hong Chen left them five million, bought them a house and a car, and the two elders were very happy, and after working hard for most of their lives, they could be regarded as living a happy life.

Then, according to the schedule, Hong Chen went straight to Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations, preparing to participate in the next round of "I Am an Actor" competition.

It's only been two weeks, and at this moment, Hong Chen's worth has completely changed.

Two weeks ago, he was still an actor who only played two villains, and strictly speaking, he was not a second-line.

Now, because of the explosion of "Li Bai", his popularity has surged, with 15 million Weibo fans, and the list of male artists has also entered the top 30.

He's already on his way to the second tier.

However, there is still a little distance from the first line, the first-line actors are all real big names, and one person can support a drama.

He currently only has three movies online, and only one of them is a starring actor, so he still needs to accumulate popularity.

He got off the plane, Ge Chen had already arranged a car to wait for him, and in the car, to his surprise, in addition to Ge Chen and Wang Shaoqi, Lu Jia was also there.

Lu Jia still looked youthful and energetic, and when she saw Hong Chen, her eyes lit up.

"Idol, I've watched "Li Bai" four times, you played it so well! In the car, Lu Jia said happily.

Ge Chen explained on the side: "She bought tickets for this issue of "I Am Not an Actor", and when she was an audience, I happened to be on the way with us, so I took her with me. ”

"Welcome. For this lovely girl, Hong Chen has a good impression of her.

Especially Lu Jia is still his true fan, and there is no way to refuse.

With Lu Jia, she also became cheerful along the way, this girl is particularly lively and full of youth.

Then, they arrived at Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations to prepare for the recording of this episode.

The three judges, Xu Zheng, Zhang Yiyi, and Wu Xiao, each have a team, and each team has five actors.

In each competition of each episode of the program, one of the three major juries will send one of the actors to participate, and the winner will retain the qualification to participate, and the loser will be eliminated.

In every competition, there can only be one winner.

It can be said that such a game is very cruel.

In this episode of the show, there are three groups of contestants, although there will be a link for the captain of the team to choose someone, but in fact, the contestants already know who to compete with.

The list of contestants in Hong Chen's group is as follows:

Xu Zheng team: Actor Xu Mao, in his forties, but he looks relatively handsome and old.

Zhang Yiyi's team: actor Hong Chen, twenty-one years old, a young actor with excellent acting skills.

Wu Xiao team: actor Zhang Huan, in his thirties, has won the Best Supporting Actor award, and is powerful.

It can be said that the strength of the three people is very strong.

When Hong Chen saw the list of participants, the pressure also increased suddenly.

This lineup is really no joke.

Sure enough, when it came to the team competition, the intensity immediately became very intense. Because out of three, only one person will be able to advance.

The rules of the competition are very simple, the audience judges 350 people each have one vote, and the professional judges 10 people have ten votes each, and the two votes are added together, and the one with the highest vote wins.

"Whew, bad luck. Ge Chen also exclaimed in surprise when he saw the list.

Hong Chen nodded and replied: "But if the goal is to win the championship, it won't affect anyone in advance." Moreover, there is no weak person who can join the team. ”

"Just don't be pressured, these two are drama bones, and some of you have acted. Ge Chen said.

They are all people in the entertainment industry, and they know that the collision of acting skills is sometimes dangerous.

The aura is very important, many times, the aura of one actor in the crew is too strong, and the rest of the actors will have an inexplicable pressure, resulting in abnormal performance.

However, Hong Chen's mentality is still better.

"Let's take a look at the script first. Hong Chen nodded.

Hong Chen came to the exclusive lounge of Zhang Yiyi's team, two actors had already arrived, everyone chatted for a while, and the atmosphere was also good.

Not long after, Zhang Yiyi also arrived and began to mobilize everyone.

Then the director team arranged the schedule, Hong Chen was the second game today, and when he got the script, he was still a little apprehensive.

What kind of script will this confrontation be?

He has watched all the previous competitions, and when each group is in the competition, there will be some professional actors who will come to play for the contestants, and the focus is on highlighting the three contestants.

However, in his scene, only the three of them performed, and no one played for them.

Script Title: "Sweeping Drugs"

The role played by Hong Chen: Zhang Ziwei.

Classic lines: Ah Wei is dead, what did you pick, idol!

Duan Kun, I'm done, Jesus can't keep him, I said!

Seeing the script, Hong Chen smiled helplessly.

In terms of advantages, his role in this scene is more tense, more eye-catching, and shows more places.

If you want to talk about disadvantages, he has no problem performing the above line. It's just that for some reasons, this line has become a popular phrase, and whether it can be performed or not, there is a bit of funny in it.

It is easy to spoil the atmosphere.
