Many things cannot be reproduced yesterday, such as the grand occasion when Mr. Mei was famous for Chunshen, how could there be so many entertainment methods now. The drama "The Last Emperor" has indeed caused a jaw-dropping popularity in Shanghai, but it is definitely more coincidental that it can be recognized at a glance in this alley restaurant today.

Eat small ravioli.

"To be honest, what special can you eat with this ravioli?" Ji Ming whispered, the aunt over there was still looking at him, and the two had to look at each other and smile from time to time, because the afterglow was swept away, you have to move away, maybe people will think you are disrespectful, you can't move it away with a smile, Ji Ming didn't dare to look up at the back, only looked at Gu Rui and the wontons.

Gu Rui couldn't help but smile: "Big fish and meat, delicacies from the mountains and seas, you can't eat anything, what are you talking about? ”

Tsk, good excuse.

This bowl of small wontons, in fact, is not much different, the soup has seaweed shrimp skin and green onions, the filling is fresh pork, and the skin is not that kind of clear skin, semi-transparent. But it is indeed fresh and refreshing, a little bit of meat filling even has the feeling of springing teeth, the soup is really fresh, not the kind of additive taste, powdered "milky white soup", eat it overnight, the stomach is comfortable.

In this place, the style of wontons is also different, and when you go to several big stores in Xicheng, they are all big wontons without soup, which are very sweet, and the amount is like mutton dumplings.

It depends on your taste, and it also depends on whether you are really hungry.

"Oops, it's okay. ”

"Comfortable, right? Gu Rui drove the car and sent Ji Minghui to the hotel: "But don't come alone in the future, don't be blocked." ”

“……”

"Haha, don't you think it's too difficult. Who made you more and more popular, let me tell you that as far as my observation is concerned, those little girl fans are nothing, if you really let those aunts and uncles know you, you really don't come out in the future, and if you really come out, you have to wrap it tightly, and you can't be recognized - otherwise, those aunts and uncles can't listen to people at all, and they will slap their faces with their mobile phones. Haha, I once heard the big head say that he went to the street to put out a show, and then didn't he finish acting in "The First Half of My Life" at that time, my ex-husband, and then there were really a lot of aunts who watched the TV series who recognized it, and they came around to take a group photo, and they couldn't get rid of the camera at all, ah, you are the one, that stinky man, come and take a group photo, hahahaha, your head is so big. ”

Ji Ming leaned on the back of his seat, trembling with laughter.

He thought about the big head in his head, his face was sluggish, and he was pulled to take a group photo.

"If you want to talk about this national degree, you really have to make a TV series, and it's more difficult to rely on movies. Unless you shoot something that has 100 million viewers, it can be considered that tens of millions of people have seen you, and it is only for an hour or two, can you remember it. ”

"Yes, but let's see the opportunity. ”

"That's right, who would have thought that you could act in a drama and be so popular. Hey, after yesterday's performance, I heard Mr. Ma's tone, next year's Magnolia, you have hope again. ”

Gu Rui also had to be envious.

For Shanghai drama talents, Magnolia is definitely no worse than Meihua and Wenhua, and in comparison, Magnolia is also one of the most famous drama awards.

Ji Ming, this kid, just won the supporting role of a newcomer, a supporting role, and he will have the opportunity to win the leading role award again so soon, tsk. How difficult it is for an actor to get a suitable script, Ji Ming is good, one is one, and one is more influential than the other.

"Huh? He's still a judge?"

"I don't think so, but there will always be someone who can listen to his old man's meaning. ”

This is the meaning of the disciples and the circle of the mountain.

"I'll help you pay attention when you get back. ”

"Thank you, Brother Gu. ”

Gu Rui shook: "Oh~~ Don't be so disgusting." ”

"People say I'm cute when I talk like that. ”

“…… I'm going to kick you down. ”

Hahaha.

Ji Ming really doesn't have much free time in Shanghai, the pressure of performing every day is very high, the first time you see so many audiences on stage, you will feel nervous but expectant, and then the first time you hear such warm applause, you will be excited, and feel that you have a sense of achievement. But when one game after another is over, the stimuli will subside, your feelings will be dulled, and that's when the pressure comes.

Fatigue also follows.

This is the time to test perseverance, and how to give a high-level performance in such a state is a big problem. How many people are admiring it, but when they see it, they regret it, isn't this a slap in the face?

In the play "The Last Emperor", how unique Ji Ming is in the attention, how unique his pressure is, it may be several times more than other actors.

Ren Ming, the producer, the staff, all stared at him, he was only 21 years old after all, who knows if he could hold it.

Ji Ming felt that when he was sent back by Gu Rui, everyone looked at him - it's really good, this person didn't run away, and he came back again.

"......" Ji Ming felt a lot of pressure, but he could accept it, maybe there was a koi fish guarding him, which made him believe that he must be very strong, so the state was actually good: "What do you see?"

"Well, the article, there are still some critics who have written drama reviews recently, analyzing why "The Last Emperor" can cause such a big sensation in the imperial capital of the magic capital, what are its characteristics, and what is the attraction? ”

Ji Ming was quite curious.

"How?"

"Actually, there is nothing new, one is Renyibei, the strength is guaranteed, and the other is the original work, there is a mass base, and then there is you, oh, say that you are currently one of the most watched stars in China, and you just won an award in Cannes, so the big guy is looking forward to your new works and the like, and the rest is what platform matrix word-of-mouth evaporation, what commercial film-like marketing plan, and the traditional paper media in the waning mountains and so on. ”

Ji Ming flipped through it: "Oh, you know, I'll write one myself, and I just want to write a paper." ”

"Writing, the lead actor's own article is definitely more valuable. Director Ren Yile: "Oh, you're going to have a thesis, you're a third-level actor now, right? With the influence of "The Last Emperor", it can be called a major social influence, and the title can be given priority. I'm going to have to go to level 2 tomorrow?"

"It's up to you. ”

Ren Ming will definitely be able to have a say in the evaluation of professional titles.

"Hahaha, don't worry, I'll definitely come out of this force. ”

Of course he wants to come out, since the performance, Ren Ming is simply overjoyed, when he rearranged "The Last Emperor", because it was his first task as dean, in fact, he did not encounter any opposition, but the attitude of the people in the courtyard, he knows it well, especially the overall style of "The Last Emperor", which is not exactly the aesthetic of human art - many people say that he wants to make a revolution when he comes to power.

Not without pressure.

But all the pressure, at this time, has dissipated like the wind, leaving only "the dean is still at a high level, far-sighted, strategic, and very high".

It's safe in the courtyard.

With this, he has to give credit to the first hero Ji Ming, and it is not just a matter of title, even if he is not an actor.

But he won't tell Ji Ming about this.

……

When he moved from the Shanghai Grand Theater to the Oriental Cultural Center, Ji Ming got a day off.

He went to the Golden Xuan Song and Dance Troupe to watch a performance, and Song Yi originally wanted to go, but because no one else went, he wanted to sleep. So Ji Ming won't let her go, hahaha.

"Anyway, we can't go together, I can't be sorry for my girlfriend. ”

Song Yi was angry with him, what a thing.

The Golden Xuan Song and Dance Troupe is indeed a very good modern dance troupe, and it can have its own guaranteed works, such as "Tango at Sea", etc., and it can also continue to launch new dances, with so many audiences, buy such expensive tickets.

Because it came relatively suddenly, I bought one casually and went in to see it.

Ji Ming actually came to the bottom for "Breaking Free", there must be a large number of dance choreography and performances in "Struggle", and Ji Ming definitely can't do it himself. Either he asked the teachers of the Northern Dance, Military Art, and Song and Dance Troupes to help, but because his earliest inspiration for the "Struggle" dance came from Jin Xuan's "Half Dream", he still wanted to see if Jin Xuan was suitable and whether he could invite this pioneer of Chinese modern dance.

Of course, he won't see him today, and no one else will be there.

Just look at it, look at the level, look at the color.

……

Before the end of the last show of the Shanghai tour, when the crew was about to move to Jinling, Ji Ming took the time to do an exclusive interview with "Shenjiang Service Herald" - in the past week, "Shenjiang" can be said to have done all its best to promote "The Last Emperor", which is simply a look of burning himself and lighting up Ji Ming.

Snap.

not only put the photos of the long queue of people on the front page, but also invited a number of famous Shanghai dramas, including Mr. Ma, to beat gongs and drums for "The Last Emperor" and Ji Ming, as if they didn't need money. even temporarily opened a letter link from drama fans, saying their feelings about "The Last Emperor".

When "Shen Jiang" said that he wanted to give Ji Ming an exclusive interview, he only thought about it a little and agreed.

As a result, when we met, I was stunned.

"You mean, this interview is the last issue of your newspaper?"

How do you do an interview, and you still go out of business?

"Haha yes, this matter was actually decided a long time ago, and now the paper media is not easy to handle, and then the group also has to concentrate resources, on the one hand, to the new media, the surging network and their side, and on the other hand, to the "Liberation Daily" editorial team. The reporter is an eldest sister in her fifties, with curly reddish-brown hair, no different from the average Shanghai aunt, and she doesn't have much emotion when she talks about the suspension of the publication: "In fact, sooner or later, you can't sell it, so you can't stop it." Speaking of which, it's the most sold in the past few days, thanks to your play. ”

"Huh, is that so?"

"Yes, it's been a long time since the newsstand called us to say it's sold out, and if it's gone, our editor-in-chief said thank you for letting us have a bright face at the end. ”

Ji Ming really didn't know what to say.

"Shenjiang", "Boutique Shopping", "Holiday 100", these life periodicals, he is no longer very impressed, and people of the previous generation may remember them more clearly.

"So, we want to do an interview with you in one last installment, and that's it. The contact is also in a hurry, thank you for your willingness to help. ”

"Don't dare, thank you for your support. ”

Ji Ming was in this ups and downs, and began to be interviewed, and it can be seen from the questions that what it means to be behind the times, there are many questions about Shanghai, and many questions that Ji Ming has never been exposed to, such as "You don't have too many opportunities to come to Shanghai, do you have a different feeling every time you come?"

Mom, Shanghai's development is fast, but a year has changed a lot, and it has been a long time.

The interview went very smoothly, there were no sensitive issues, and I was very empathetic.

When Ji Ming left Shanghai and went to Jinling to perform, the "Shenjiang Service Herald" was published, and then there was also a "Statement of Closure". On the cover that is difficult to describe, there is a sitting portrait of Ji Ming, which looks a little retro in a narrow area.

The cover words of "The Last Emperor" are popular in Shanghai, and Ji Ming talks about the story behind the scenes" is also forever fixed in history.

For many old readers, it seems that this drama that has just left has suddenly become a classic in their memory.

Jinling, Hangzhou, Chang'an...... Once the fire is lit, the momentum of the prairie fire is unstoppable.

Where to act, where to be popular.

Through local media, forums, word of mouth - even Ji Ming received a recording from Lin Ran.

is Lin Ran's friend, her colleague in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Taiwan, when Ji Ming acted in Hangzhou, his colleague took a taxi, and the taxi driver recommended it to her: "What's the excitement recently, just go to watch "The Last Emperor", you are from the TV station, it's easy to get a ticket?"

"It's not easy. ”

"It's too hot, it's just 1,800 seats, not enough to grab. Oh, you said that the drama thing, can ordinary people understand it? You can't sleep over, but people just have a big fire, it must be unusual, if you have the opportunity, I really want to watch it once. ”

"Go to the queue, isn't there an extra game?"

"Hey, one or two thousand yuan, where can I afford that money, why don't I buy some meat to eat. Speaking of which, the price of this pork has risen a bit sharply recently......"

Look, a drama can be compared with the price of pork, isn't this deeply rooted enough?

At the end of the first round of the tour, Ji Ming lost a lot of weight, tired, tormented, and then the food was not necessarily suitable, plus he couldn't exercise, probably the worst physical condition since he entered the industry.

"At this time, why no one asked me to play a patient or something, don't lose weight. ”

“…… Hurry up and eat more, don't wait to be on camera for people to say something. ”

Ji Ming lost weight and was suspected of having an emotional crisis.

Ji Ming is very thin and has a sallow face, which is very similar to a certain bad artist.

Ji Ming's state was extremely poor, and insiders revealed that he fell into depression because he was too deep in the play.

And so on.

Ji Ming thought about it, trembled, and hurriedly ate two more bites. The recovery is still very fast, especially with all kinds of nutrition, fitness is gradually matched, the whole physical condition is quickly recovered, at least the mental state is very good - the kind of high-intensity work, after a period of exhaustion, re-cohesion of combat effectiveness.

On August 12, the Montreal International Film Festival announced the shortlist.

"Immortals" is on the list.

On the same day, at the same time as the official announcement of the news, "Movie Meets Immortals" announced that it would open a press conference in Beijing on August 14th, and Ji Ming, Wen Yan, Qi Xi and other main creators will attend, and at the same time, the official Weibo also sold a small pass.

"At the press conference, the movie will release the promotional theme song "Yu Xian", who do you guess will sing it?"

Ji Ming's fans below are also very cooperative.

"Who's going to sing it?"

"It's hard to guess, who the hell is?"

"Surely it can't be someone who is particularly easy to guess, right?"

"Let me find out from a list of hundreds of people. ”

The media doesn't have such a big deal to play with, and one by one they can't wait to reveal the answers.

The Cannes award-winning film "Immortals" was shortlisted for the Montreal Film Festival again, and the starring Ji Ming will sing the promotional theme song "Immortals". ”

""Immortals Descending" is finally coming, a release conference was held in Beijing on the 14th, and Ji Ming sang the theme song again. ”

"After winning the Special Performance Award in Cannes, Ji Ming is the best actor in Montreal at the A-category film festival?"

The Montreal International Film Festival still has some popularity in China, after all, China likes to talk about the three major and five majors. The three major international film festivals, Cannes Berlin and Venice, are needless to say. What about the Big Five, there is not much to say, but there is indeed an official name, the Big Three plus Karlovy Vary and Montreal.

Generally speaking, G7 countries like to say that they are G7, and not so much G20, G20 countries like to say that they are G20. It's all the same truth, the Big Three will not say that they are one of the Big Five, but these two Big Five Film Festivals have to often say that they are one of the Big Five.

Anyway, there are nine major and global A-class film festivals.

It's enough to blow it, and being shortlisted is also a thrill.

Beijing Culture has also been waiting for this list, and the work of the press conference has been done, and as soon as the list comes out, it will be opened immediately - saving a sum of exposure costs. As far as art films are concerned, there is only one most effective way to publicize, to be shortlisted and win awards.

Nope.

"The Last Night on Earth", which is in the same schedule as "Immortals", has done a lot of work, and Douyin is about to be paid for a month - but the more virtual point is that it didn't win the award, and the shortlisted ones are just a kind of attention, so there has been a lot of discussion.

Relatively speaking, "Immortals" is relatively stocky, the Jury Award and the Special Performance Award of the Jury at the Cannes Film Festival, plus the main competition of an A-class international film festival shortlisted, there should be everything, and it is relatively safe to publicize.

At present, it seems that from the feedback from the theaters, the rehearsal of "Earth" is slightly better than "Immortals", 5 points.

The publicity popularity of "Earth" is much higher than that of "Immortals", and the actual performance of "Immortals" is even better, and Ji Ming is in charge - but obviously, today, when traffic has been repeatedly frustrated at the box office, theater managers are more willing to believe in the magic of marketing.
