"Ah Hong, I feel like my leg is going to be ruined!" At the end of the press conference, Jiang Ran walked beside Zhong Chuhong and said with a sigh.

Zhong Chu glanced at him, "Hmph! You deserve it! Is this movie really at my request, and you came out to star in it?"

"Ah, so you don't want to partner with me in the movie!" Jiang Ran looked at Zhong Chuhong with a shocked expression, "Hey, in that case, I'll find someone else to play again." ”

"You dare!" Zhong Chuhong glared at Jiang Ran and roared in a low voice.

"Hehe! You still want to marry me on the screen!" Jiang Ran looked like a villain, and said happily.

Zhong Chuhong glared at Jiang Ran fiercely, but he didn't refute, "Look at your smugness." I'm just trying to crush you, a rookie, with my acting skills in the movie. Heh, I'm still proud, we'll see when we walk later. ”

After Zhong Chuhong finished speaking, he tilted his chin and glanced at Jiang Ran, who was already stunned, like a proud peacock, and walked away alone, leaving Jiang Ran stunned in place.

"Alas, what's wrong with this world? Can't you have more kindness?" This is Jiang Ran's truest inner monologue now.

Shaking his head and returning to the crew, Jiang Ran officially entered the working state.

"Mr. Jiang, this side is ready!" Du Qifeng saw Jiang Ran coming over, and immediately came over to report.

Jiang Ran nodded, "Well, I'll go put on makeup right away." ”

In the first scene today, Jiang Ran arranged an interview-style monologue scene at the beginning of the movie, a monologue about marriage and married life, which is a very good beginning for Jiang Ran to adapt to a new role.

After a simple makeup, Jiang Ran sat in front of the camera for the first time as the leading actor, and it turned out that he didn't feel much about watching others film, but when he came to play by himself, Jiang Ran actually felt nervous.

Pursing his lips, Jiang Ran tried his best to relax himself, sat down on the sofa with a smile, and nodded at Du Qifeng behind the monitor.

"Attention Units, Action!"

With the words of To Qifeng and the scene notes, Jiang Ran's first journey as an actor began.

"Okay! I'll start with that. Actually, we don't need to come here. Jiang Ran's expression was a little nervous, and he said in front of the camera according to the dialogue of the script.

"Cut!" Du Qifeng's voice interrupted Jiang Ran's monologue, "Mr. Jiang, don't keep staring at the camera, relax, you're a little nervous!"

Obviously, as the first step as an actor, Jiang Ran didn't start smoothly, and just the first very simple monologue-style scene was inevitably NG.

"I'm sorry! Let's do it all over again!" Jiang Ran stiffened his face, he didn't shoot such a simple shot, and he felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't blame Du Qifeng, and he simply lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

"Ah Ran, don't be nervous! just take it as a regular interview!" Zhong Chuhong also comforted on the side.

Jiang Ran nodded, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, calmed his nervousness slightly, and nodded to Du Qifeng again.

The movie started filming again, and this time Jiang Ran still didn't pass the test, his performance was so stiff that he looked awkward on the monitor.

The first set of interview-style simple shots, Jiang Ran reshot five or six times before he barely passed the test, which means that Jiang Ran himself is the boss, if other actors had reshot such simple scenes so many times, they would have scolded Xiang a long time ago.

The new movie started in a short period of time in the continuous NG, and in the first ten days of the movie, the progress has not been fast, and the continuous NG and continuous reshoots have slowed down the crew's shooting plan a lot.

Fortunately, Jiang Ran's high status in the film and television industry now, coupled with the fact that he often brings some snacks to the crew to eat and other small things and red envelopes promises, so that the crew has not affected the enthusiasm of the crew after doing so much repetitive work.

However, Jiang Ran's directorship in the past few years has not been in vain, and he finally has some theoretical experience in working with all kinds of actors.

Now in the continuous NG remakes, some of the acting knowledge he has accumulated in the past few years has finally been slowly digested in continuous practice.

Therefore, after more than ten days of running-in, Jiang Ran slowly began to enter the state, and finally had the appearance of an actor, no longer like at the beginning, no matter how simple the shots had to be constantly reshot.

"Hey, it's not easy to be an actor!" Jiang Ran said to Zhong Chuhong with some sighs.

"It's good that you know! In the future, when you want to curse on the set, think about the number of NG times you have during this time. Zhong Chuhong rolled her eyes and glanced at Jiang Ran with some disdain.

"What? ”

"Hehe!" Zhong Chuhong moved to the side with some disgust, and glanced at Jiang Ran with rolled eyes, "I just brought a pillow to the crew today, do you want me to use it for you later?"

……

For Jiang Ran, all his attention now is on the shooting of new movies and the honing of his acting skills, and the rhythm of his daily work and life is very regular.

In the Hong Kong film market, it was not cold because of Jiang Ran's neglect. However, in the first month of this year's summer season, the movies released in the box office market are not far behind last year.

Throughout July, several large cinema chain companies in Hong Kong, the former overlord Shaw Brothers Film Company, leased their cinema chains to Debao at the beginning of this year, and the production volume dropped sharply, and the Hong Kong film market was no longer competitive.

Debao Film Company, which won the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, although it has its own cinema line, but in terms of film production, on the one hand, because of time constraints, it can't catch up with the summer file.

On the other hand, among the founders, Sammo Hung's energy is mainly focused on Golden Harvest, and the attention to Debao is insufficient, so this summer, although Debao has a theater, there is no movie of his own that can be released for the time being.

The remaining three companies, Jiahe Company, Xinyicheng and Ranfeng Group, each released a movie in July, but their performance was only qualified.

Among them, "Four Eyes" in Xinyicheng, after more than 20 days of release, was painted at the end of July, and finally only won more than 13 million box office results.

The main work of Jackie Chan promoted by Golden Harvest Cinema - "Mighty Dragon Detective" lasted until early August, and only achieved a total box office result of more than 15 million Hong Kong dollars.

The best movie in the whole month of July is Ran Feng Group's "Happy Ghost 2", as a sequel movie, in the hands of Wang Jing, there is less lively youth, more ghost horses and sexy.

But on the whole, the quality of the movie is very good, compared with the previous work, there are some new ideas, it can only be said that Wang Jing in this period is still very reliable in commercial films.

It is precisely for this reason that the movie "Happy Ghost 2" relies on good quality and novelty, and when it was painted in early August, it achieved a total of more than 18 million Hong Kong dollars, which can be said to be not inferior to the first work.

After the time entered August, major theater companies have arranged new successor movies.

The new movie of New Art City, a campus youth film imitating the "Happy Ghost" series - "Summer Campus", was screened in all the Golden Princess Cinemas.

The theme of this film is very similar to "Happy Ghost", except that the ghost in it is replaced by a person with superpowers, and the traces of "Happy Ghost" can be clearly seen in other themes and the structural framework of the film.

is such a movie, in the first week after its release, it performed very well, and it received more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars in the first four days.

In the end, when the film was painted at the end of August, it achieved a total of more than 1,700 Hong Kong dollars.

After Golden Harvest Company painted Jackie Chan's "Weilong Detective", it took over Sammo Hung 's "Summer Lucky Star", and it is obvious that Sammo Hung wants to copy the box office "Lucky Star Gaozhao", which sold 30 million during the Spring Festival.

Obviously, Sammo Hung succeeded this time, with the excellent quality of the movie and the reputation accumulated in recent years, Sammo Hung 's "Summer Lucky Star" detonated the market as soon as it was released.

In the first three days, the box office result of 5 million Hong Kong dollars set the tone for the follow-up popularity of this "Summer Lucky Star", and finally, when the film was painted, the box office results of more than 28 million Hong Kong dollars officially pushed Sammo Hung to the status of big brother.

And Ranfeng Group, which is also an opponent, has no intention of showing weakness in August, and when "Happy Ghost 2" is about to be painted, it grandly launched "Dancing Life" directed by Lin Jiawen.

This movie starring Ren Dahua and Zhou Huimin, on the basis of inheriting the dynamic music and dance moves in "Break Dance", on the principle of improving the overall storyline of the movie, under the advice of Jiang Ran, Lin Jiawen further pushed the dance moves to a cool style, in order to attract more young people to like it.

In order to make this movie more attractive, at the beginning of the filming, Jiang Ran asked Lin Jiawen to find a group of professional dancers to rehearse some cool dances with difficult movements, and planned to perform in front of various theaters when the movie started.

Obviously, this kind of publicity played a big role, and after the opening of "Dancing Life", along with the wonderful dance performances of various theaters, it soon attracted a group of young people to walk the theater.

And with the release of the movie and the continuous publicity in the media, a hip-hop trend was soon formed among young people, and finally, this trend was reversed to the box office of the movie.

A week after the release of "Dancing Life", the box office performance did not decrease, but rose against the market, and finally made the movie win more than 2,200 Hong Kong dollars at the end of the painting when the opening results were average.
