Chapter 86: The Last Time Someone Was So Arrogant
At the beginning of August, "Genius Gunman" steadily exceeded the 500 million threshold as expected by everyone.
At this time, the topic of touting this film, or touting Wang Wei, is not new at all.
I don't know when it started, the media shifted their attention to the heroine Shen Zhenyi.
It is not too unusual for a single movie to bring a box office of 400 to 500 million yuan, but if the actress is not yet 20 years old, regardless of inflation, this is unprecedented in the history of China Entertainment.
The enthusiasm of the media to praise Shen Zhenyi seemed to burst out all at once.
“…… The two completely different roles before and after, Shen Zhenyi's successful portrayal is enough to prove that she is one of the most outstanding young actresses of this era.
Of course, there are still many very talented actresses in the circle, but if they are allowed to perform different types of roles in a short period of time, homogenization will definitely be unavoidable.
If you are not convinced, you can take a look at Shen Zhenyi's performances in the two movies "Peking Holiday" and "Genius Gunman", which use completely different performance techniques, exaggeration, and even the way of facial muscle movement has completely changed with the character's temperament.
In this day and age, I can't find a second actress who can switch her acting state so thoroughly!
Throughout history, only the legendary actress Yoo Shu-yi can be compared to it!
……”
Seeing this, it seemed that they were all praise for Shen Zhenyi's high level, but then they saw the dagger-
“…… She is definitely a talented actor with the potential to be a movie queen, and the author even believes that as long as she has a good eye for film selection, she will definitely win the Tianma Award in the next few years.
As long as she is not tied to the tree of director Wang Wei.
- Frankly speaking, the films directed by Wang Wei have achieved very good commercial results; From the perspective of film style, his future path is to be a commercial director, but the significance of improving the acting skills of actors is not particularly great.
This undoubtedly wasted Shen Zhenyi's potential.
She needs to get in touch with more pure art films and improve her acting skills to the point where she can win awards......"
If this is just an ordinary film review, it is just the words of a family, and it is not surprising.
However, a considerable number of media have made similar comments, and even formed a lot of momentum, Shen Zhenyi can only say-
"The person who bought the manuscript behind it really put a lot of thought into it!"
The previous content was the first time that the media compared her with her idol Yoo Shuyi, but it didn't make her happy at all.
Smart people know how terrible it is to "kill".
Shen Zhenyi doesn't feel that her current acting skills have reached the same level as idols.
Similarly, Liu Shuyi's fans will not agree with such a "back wave shoots front wave".
The so-called "comparison" will only arouse the disgust of many old fans for Shen Zhenyi.
"So, at first, some people thought that I bought the press release for you, and it would be counterproductive to remind me, and I received the news that someone wanted to do something."
Agent Yu Li raised her eyebrows, "The point is to use Wang Wei as a raft in the back, openly support you and step on him secretly, isn't this pure provocation!" ”
Therefore, in the vanity fair of the entertainment industry, no peer will watch you climb up smoothly.
Especially for peers with similar positioning.
You must know that there are many actors in the circle, but in fact, there are only a few actors in one genre who can stand out, or even only one-
This first candidate, any movie of the same type, only those she can't watch, will be selected by the next level of peers, this is the hierarchical entertainment industry.
And the first candidate is the lucky one who has both strong box office appeal and has won heavyweight awards to obtain a longer career life.
Shen Zhenyi has already shown a good box office appeal, and she is just about to hit the awards, and the media's suggestions seem to be for her good at first glance.
"It's strange that the old lady will be at their meeting!" Shen Zhenyi said unceremoniously.
Although she has now become the object of pursuit by the film company, and the scripts handed over are piled up as tall as one person, is her commercial appeal really stable?
Even agents who have long made a plan for the prize don't feel that now is a good time to win the prize.
"It's better to have a work, you can independently take charge of the box office, and bring investors a beautiful financial report, then your box office appeal no longer needs to be doubted."
"And if you regard the award as the first goal now, as we all know, the box office performance of art films suitable for the award will not be too good, then your commercial appeal will be greatly reduced."
This kind of trick, the agent sees very clearly.
As for why you want to stir up relations with Wang Wei?
It's very simple, just look at the script that Shen Zhenyi received during this time.
From Shen Zhenyi's filming of "Genius Gunman" to the movie explosion, she and her agent team did not focus on Wang Wei, but also picked her next project in the sea of scripts.
Their goal is very simple: the plot has a certain depth, the age of the heroine is suitable for Shen Zhenyi to play, the plot is centered on the heroine, and the director is reliable.
And these four requirements have brushed off almost all the candidate scripts!
There are a lot of in-depth scripts, and there are more big productions with famous directors, famous actors, and business cards, but it is obvious that all of them are male-centric.
In other words, no matter how well Shen Zhenyi behaves in it, she is just acting as a foil, or even consuming her popularity.
Yes, this is also the most difficult problem for most A-list actresses.
Even if you can arbitrarily piece together and pick the cards in your hand in the big game of China Entertainment, there are not many good cards that the film company can provide.
This "good brand" refers to a project that takes female roles as the core and can enhance the box office strength of actresses.
Objectively speaking, the entertainment industry provides far fewer good roles for actresses than for male actors.
So, do you know why so many actresses, especially young actresses, have all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred for Shen Zhenyi?
——A director like Wang Wei can provide actresses with "good cards" and greatly enhance the commercial appeal of an actress, which is a rare resource that most young actresses dream of!
And now, this rare resource has been occupied by Shen Zhenyi alone for two consecutive years, and with the relationship between them (her) couples, it seems that it will be occupied for a longer time, which naturally makes those peers who are naturally in a competitive relationship angry.
- There is no need to cooperate with Shen Zhenyi in every movie, but as long as there is a "good card" suitable for her, Wang Wei will leave her alone, which is enough to make the actresses hate Shen Zhenyi to death.
There is no shortage but unevenness, and it exists everywhere.
"There are a lot of media who want to interview you about this momentum, do you want to fight back?" The broker reminded.
Shen Zhenyi shook her head and said, "Refuse." The battle of words is not interesting, and once the quarrel starts, it is a matter of satisfying the will of the people behind it. ”
The agent also shook his head and said directly: "Even if you don't fight back, they will have a backhand to continue to provoke, do you want to communicate with Wang Wei first?" ”
Shen Zhenyi said calmly: "No need. That guy can be more stable than anyone else, and he doesn't bother to look at the provocation of some media. ”
Brokers think too.
In the final analysis, as long as these two people can stabilize themselves, any provocation is useless.
It's just that they didn't expect that the media would soon escalate into a public "fire"-
At the Venice International Film Festival in August, Song Zhicheng, a cutting-edge director who focuses on literary and artistic films in China, won the Golden Lion Award for Best Film and the Silver Lion Award for Best Director at the same time with a "Lower City", which caused an amazement!
This is the second time he has won an award at one of Europe's three major international film festivals.
At present, among the directors under the age of 30 in China, he is the only one.
In an interview with the media, when asked "which domestic actor do you want to cooperate with the most in the next work", Song Zhicheng did not hesitate to point out Shen Zhenyi's name.
He said: "Someone has wasted her great talent, as long as she partners with me, up to two films, I can help her win the domestic Tianma Award or the queen crown of the three major international film festivals!" ”
As soon as such bold statements came out, the media was in an uproar.
When the news reached the ears of someone who "wasted Shen Zhenyi's talent", he was shocked-
The last time someone was so arrogant was the last time.
That's a lot of breath!
