Chapter 109: If Two of You Are Judged
"A Good Show" was screened from April 10th to 20th, during which it lasted for 10 days.
Although the box office is actually relatively limited due to the small scale of the screenings, the thousands of screenings in 10 days have accumulated a good reputation for the movie on the Internet.
There have been a lot of short reviews on Doubanshang, all of which were written by viewers who watched the screening.
"I can see that the director is very thoughtful, tried a lot of different elements, and the two-hour duration does not seem to be procrastinating, and it is worth watching overall."
"I thought it would be like "Night Club", it would be a pure comedy, but I didn't expect the plot to have a lot of connotation and depth, Fang Bo can shoot such a story, the courage is commendable!"
"Li Hao's acting skills are so amazing, and the performance in "Dream Chaser" is like two people, especially the scene where I instigated Xiao Wang and them, my goosebumps rose when I saw his calm tone and deep eyes."
"The director is very skilled, what seems to be a comedy is actually a philosophical film, depicting the good and evil of human nature through a microcosm of society."
"This movie is quite good, using the story shell of a group of people to survive on a desert island, it is absurd and crazy, from the law of survival, the establishment of tribes, the birth of money, and then to the destruction of utopian society, which is very allegorical."

If the short comments on Doubanshang are more about evaluating the quality of the movie, then the comments on Weibo are the audience expressing their opinions.
"Fortunately, I bought a ticket for the screening, and the viewing experience exceeded my prediction, and it was worth the ticket price."
"Director Fang is so powerful, I thought that Li Hao would be the one with the most crotch among the actors, but I didn't expect that under Director Fang's hands, he could act like this, There are a few scenes that are not inferior to Huang Jingshan."
"Kudos to Director Fang, the movie doesn't look complicated, but it's very content, and it's not pretentious."
"The plot has ups and downs, the atmosphere is also very good, it is definitely a good movie!"
"I can't buy a ticket for the screening, I feel itchy to see you blowing so hard, hurry up and release it, let me see if it's really that good."
"I didn't buy a ticket either, and several movie theaters near my home didn't arrange the screening of "A Good Show", which is a pity, so I can only wait for the official release."

In addition to the movie itself, many people noticed Li Hao's performance.
He is indeed a small actor, but the popularity of "Dream Chaser" is too wide, and even many people are very impressed by his exaggerated performance.
And this time in "A Good Show", he is completely like a different person, although there is still a gap between him and Huang Jingshan's acting school as a whole, but there are a few scenes that are really outstanding.
For example, after failing to go to sea, when he had a gap with Ma Jin on the beach, his eyes showed the disappointment and regret of the character.
There is also the discovery of the cruise ship, when he persuaded the horse to enter, a gloomy expression appeared on his face, and he said seductive words in a light tone, which was really chilling.
The big difference between before and after made many viewers extremely surprised.
The same actor, in the crew of different directors, can there be such a big change?
Not only the audience, but also many industry insiders have also noticed the actor Li Hao through "A Good Show".
……
On the evening of the 20th, in the afternoon, they just participated in a meeting with the main creators in Shanghai, and Fang Bo and Li Hao rushed to a new city before they had time to rest.
After a busy day, both of them were very tired, not to mention that there was a new itinerary tomorrow, so after checking into the hotel, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Li Hao was still washing up when he received a call from his agent.
He was just a marginal actor in the agency he signed with, and he was even less valued after "Dream Chaser".
This agent was only assigned to him by the company, and he was in charge of one or two dozen artists, and he rarely contacted him until he passed the audition for "A Good Show", and the contact between the two gradually increased.
"Phew, bah, bah."
Li Hao was brushing his teeth, and when he saw that the caller's name was "Sister Zhang", he quickly spit out the foam in his mouth and connected the phone.
"Hey, Sister Zhang."
Sister Zhang's familiar voice came from the phone, "Li Hao, are you free at this time?" ”
"Yes, I just stayed in the hotel, so I have time here." Li Hao replied, then took a sip of water and rinsed his mouth.
"Oh, that's the case, a director has been contacting me in the past two days, saying that he saw your performance in "A Good Show" and is going to let you audition ......" Sister Zhang's tone was a little happy.
Can you be happy, the agent has a commission, and the better the actor develops, the more money she can get.
What's more, if she can bring out a big-name actor by herself, there are many other benefits for her, so it's no wonder that she will change her attitude and start to care for Li Hao.
After listening, Li Hao said: "Sister Zhang, what do you think about the audition, I'll just listen to you." ”
Of course, he understands the reason for the change in the agent's attitude, but this is normal, the entertainment industry, it's so realistic, and he has nothing to complain about.
However, in addition to this, the agent Sister Zhang's business ability is still there, and the interests of the two are bound together, not to mention that one loses, at least it is also a glory, and it will not harm him.
Therefore, in this kind of matter, Li Hao naturally wanted to ask Sister Zhang's opinion.
Thinking about it, before making this call, Sister Zhang had an idea, and replied without thinking too much: "I don't think there's a need to be in such a hurry, after all, "A Good Show" is still being screened, and your fame hasn't been hit yet." At this time, not only will you not be able to get a high salary, but the role may not be very good. ”
"And this will be the promotion period of the movie, you leave the publicity team and go to audition to take over the role, no matter how you think about it, it's not good. Why don't we hold it steady for the time being and wait for the movie to be released? ”
was assigned to manage a large number of small artists, Sister Zhang's status in the company can be imagined, and now with this "A Good Show", Li Hao may be able to become popular, she definitely doesn't want to offend.
Because I was afraid that Li Hao would be silent for too long, I didn't want to miss the opportunity, and when the time came, I picked the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon, but I lost a lot of money, so Sister Zhang made the stakes very clear, and her attitude was also very polite, with an inquiring meaning.
But Li Hao thought very clearly, there is a specialization in the art industry, so don't be smart about this kind of thing, and there should be no mistake in listening to the agent.
Besides, since he entered the entertainment industry, he has been unknown for several years, and he has been scolded by "Dream Chaser", he has survived for so long, are you afraid of staying up for a while longer?
He promised: "Okay, Sister Zhang, just listen to you." ”
At the end of the phone chat, Sister Zhang specially instructed, "By the way, Li Hao, Director Fang must remember to have a good relationship, people have the grace of knowing you." ”
She still hasn't said a word, if this movie is completed, Fang Bo's status in the film industry will not be the same as in the past, and now that the relationship is good, maybe he will be able to get a role in the future.
Of course, sometimes the words can't be said too bluntly, lest the utilitarian nature be too obvious, so she hides this meaning and only says that she should be grateful for the grace of the encounter.
"yes, I see." Li Hao replied lightly.
He heard the meaning of the agent's words, after all, he was talking about "building a good relationship", and the meaning was self-evident, so he was a little disgusted.
People's hearts are flesh and blood, who is good to themselves, Li Hao couldn't understand it better.
Of course, he would be grateful to Fang Bo, but not out of utilitarianism, but grateful to Fang Bo for giving him the opportunity to audition, and often guiding him during filming, so that his acting skills improved.
Weighing the interests of everything, it is too tiring to live, he just needs to listen to his heart.
