When Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet" was completed and shut down, it was clear that the schedule was this summer.

But because the later stage was too tense, the crew had to jump to September, and the schedule was set for September 14.

This really made the August movie cheaper.

Although "Rise to Fame" has been released for more than 20 days, there is not much competition in August, and under the long-tail effect, "Rise to Fame" has really made "Rise to Fame" eat a lot of box office.

By the last weekend of August, "Rise to Fame" was released for 25 days, and the total box office exceeded 54 million, becoming the domestic film with the highest profitability in recent years!

"Rise to Fame" can no longer run in first- and second-tier cities, and there are already high-definition resources on the Internet, China Film decisively put this film in the sinking market and launched a genuine high-definition DVD.

Now the box office statistics are not perfect enough, theaters in first- and second-tier cities can still receive data, but it is difficult to ensure the authenticity of the data in third- and fourth-tier cities, or county and township theaters.

It is common to steal the box office, and China Film does not expect the sinking market to report much good box office, as long as it is too ugly to eat.

As for DVDs, they can't be counted on, they are all dispensable.

On the 25th, Liu Yifei's 19th birthday.

The crew bought a cake and gifts and gave her a birthday.

Zhang Yuanjun regretted: "I should have rushed to work for two more days, but you got cakes and gifts." ”

Liu Yifei will be finished in a few days.

"Forget it, I don't know who to spend when I make so much money." Liu Yifei scolded him with a smile.

"Marrying a wife and having children, firewood, rice, oil, salt, and living without spending money."

"If you don't even have a girlfriend, you want to marry a wife and have children, who are you marrying?" Liu Yifei said.

Seeing that Zhang Yuanjun stopped talking, Liu Yifei stretched out his hand and said, "What about my gift?" ”

"Didn't the crew buy gifts for you?"

"It's the crew's, what about yours?"

"Good guys!" Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile, "The co-author crew collectively doesn't count, and I personally want to send you another copy?" There are more than 100 people in the crew, do you receive more than 100 gifts? The abacus crackled. Zhang Yuanjun slapped Liu Yifei's outstretched hand, there was no gift.

"Forget it, if you make so much money, I don't know who will be cheaper in the future." Liu Yifei didn't really want Zhang Yuanjun's gift, and she was already very satisfied with the gift given by the crew.

On the 29th, Liu Yifei finished.

"Come on, come on, one person, one person, one person, everybody, everybody." Liu Yifei is handing out gifts to the staff - her upcoming Chinese album "Liu Yifei", each of which has been signed.

When I got to Zhang Yuanjun, I didn't have anything to say: "No, Sony won't be so poor, pick this kind of clothes for you." ”

Liu Yifei in the cover picture of the album is wearing a printed T-shirt with a large gauze skirt.

"No, did Sony pick it for you, or did you build it yourself?" Sony took such a lot of trouble to sign Liu Yifei, so it shouldn't be like this.

"I built it myself, isn't it pretty?" Liu Yifei said.

"If you think it's good-looking, it's good-looking." Open the CD case, and the included inner page photo looks much better, wearing a white dress and high exposure, "This should have been taken by Sony." ”

Liu Yifei pouted, unhappy, she knew that Zhang Yuanjun was secretly poking and saying that she wouldn't get dressed.

After sending the album and taking a group photo with the crew, Liu Yifei and her mother said goodbye to the crew: "I'm leaving, bye-bye!" Liu Yifei waved her hand.

After Liu Yifei left the crew, she had to devote herself to the promotion of the new album.

But the crew is still turning day and night, and they really don't have that much time to pay attention to the release of her album.

Liu Yifei's finale also said that all the scenes of the crew of "Animal World" except for the gambling games on the boat were filmed.

The day after Liu Yifei left, the crew all moved into the studio and will spend 2 months filming all the remaining scenes.

The time is tight, the task is heavy, and you need to rush forward non-stop.

At 2 o'clock in the morning that day, Zhang Yuanjun called it a day and returned to the hotel.

Assistant Xiao Zhao came in and told him, "Huayi sent us a script." ”

"What script?"

"The Assembly."

Zhang Yuanjun was still quite surprised in his heart, Huayi was willing to give him "Assembly Number": "Do you want me to act, or do you want us to invest?" ”

"Feng Xiaogang's films are never short of investment." Xiao Zhao said.

"You want me to act? Who am I playing? It's not suitable for me to play Guzidi at my age. Zhang Yuanjun said.

"Don't think about Gu Zidi, Huayi's own actor Zhang Hanyu has already been decided, and he gave us the male number two Zhao Erdou."

"You put the script here, I'll take a look. It's too late, you go back and rest, tomorrow is another day's play. ”

Zhang Yuanjun took a shower and leaned on the bed to watch "Assembly Number", this film is really good.

Although the uncle of the capital likes to brag about the mountains, the impression is often not good enough.

But there are some people who really have some ideals and ambitions, and they really feel that they were born in Sijiu City and want to do something for the society and the people - this kind of person is always in the minority.

"Night Banquet" can be said to be a speculative work - taking advantage of the east wind of the blockbuster to think about making a profit.

But "Assembly Number" made Zhang Yuanjun see this sense of responsibility in Feng Xiaogang, as well as the later "Tangshan Earthquake" and "1942", which are all the same.

Whether he wants to rely on this kind of national epic to prove that he is not just a superficial laughing and scolding, or he really wants to make this kind of film.

Importantly, he did.

And all three films are well shot.

Maybe it's also because the three movies are not popular, and the commercial failure has extinguished the fire in Feng Xiaogang's heart, so that he never touched the national historical theme again - "Fanghua" is not counted, this film is a youth film of the art troupe at sunset.

"Assembly Number" sent an invitation to himself, and Zhang Yuanjun was of course very happy.

But he really has to consider whether the later schedule is suitable.

After finishing "Animal World", he is going to the theater to report, and there is a concert at the end of the year, if he takes another play, he really can't turn around.

But if "Assembly" can postpone his entry into the group until next year, Zhang Yuanjun will definitely take it.

But if you think about it, you know that it is impossible, "Assembly Number" will be completed in February next year, how can Zhang Yuanjun enter the group after the year.

Zhang Yuanjun said to his assistant Xiao Zhao when he was free to put on makeup and wait for the scene the next day: "Push it, I really don't have time." ”

Xiao Zhao said: "I guess you also want to push, we have too much time in the back, and we have to be busy for a month just for the concert, and then take on a play, it's really too busy." ”

It's one thing to know that Zhang Yuanjun can't take it, but Xiao Zhao still has to hand over the script.

"What's going on these days?" Zhang Yuanjun asked.

"There's one thing." Zhang Yuanjun thought that he was in the studio, but the assistant Xiao Zhao said:

"Brother Hu was in a car accident."

"Who?" It's not easy to turn around in the crew.

"Brother Hu, the one who played "Fairy Sword" with Yifei."

"Oh, he." Zhang Yuanjun is really not very familiar with Brother Hu, in 04 he took Liu Yifei and others to visit the crew of "No. 1 in the World", and then Zhang Yuanjun went to the magic capital to purchase, and he became a guide for himself.

That's all.

He is in the magic capital, Zhang Yuanjun has lived in the capital for a long time, and the two do not have a deep relationship.

"How's it hurting?" Although he already knew, Zhang Yuanjun still asked.

"It's very heavy, I don't know yet, and I don't let relatives and friends visit."

"It's so serious, what's going on?"

"It is said that the driver is driving tiredly. By the way, the assistant who was in the same car with him was not rescued. ”

Zhang Yuanjun didn't say anything, only sighed.

"His "Condor Shooting" crew is unlucky."

"What's wrong?"

"Tang Ren filmed a version of "Shooting the Condor", Brother Hu is Guo Jing, less than a month after the start-up, the actor was hospitalized in a car accident, this time Tang Ren doesn't know how much to lose."

"Cai Yinong has been mixed up for so many years, there must be a way." Zhang Yuanjun didn't care about what Tang Ren did, he didn't even care about what Brother Hu was.

I don't know it in the first place, but sometimes people are hypocritical here:

"We also sent a fruit basket to show our gratitude, so we can be considered friends."

"Okay, I'll get someone to send it tomorrow." Xiao Zhao agreed.

"Yuanjun, it's time to start." Shouted not far away.

"Here we are."
