Chapter 482: A New Record
On Christmas night, Zhang Yuanjun really cooked a sumptuous meal for his wife.
Liu Yifei prepared a red Santa hat, one for each of them, and took a photo of the first Christmas after marriage in front of the mobile phone camera, and uploaded it to Weibo: "Merry Christmas!" ”
After posting Weibo, Liu Yifei threw her mobile phone aside, and in the face of a large table of dishes, Liu Yifei first said to Zhang Yuanjun: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Zhang Yuanjun raised his glass: "Come." I wish us all the best for the new film produced by Liu. ”
Liu Yifei also raised her glass: "Thank you." I also wish our actor Zhang a smooth performance in the future. ”
The two cups touched each other, and both of them laughed, especially Liu Yifei, who said with a smile: "It doesn't sound like two couples." ”
"Why don't you look like a couple?" Zhang Yuanjun also smiled, "Isn't it that husband and wife will spend Christmas together alone?" Isn't it possible for a couple to sleep under the same bed? Not a husband and wife ......"
"Hey, if you keep talking, you'll be a hooligan." Liu Yifei said with a smile.
Zhang Yuanjun shut up, and the two had dinner together.
In fact, Zhang Yuanjun's cooking skills are very ordinary, and sometimes he will overturn, but Liu Yifei is very supportive and praises him for how delicious the tofu is fried today: "You should eat tofu in winter." ”
The two chatted while eating, and when it came to next year's arrangement, Liu Yifei said: "Our theater won't rehearse a play for me next year." ”
"It's normal, some actors can only play a role in five or six years." Zhang Yuanjun said, "This year, our theater will rehearse "Ruan Lingyu", and Xu Fan will play the heroine again after 19 years. ”
"A mature actor like Mr. Xu Fan will definitely be able to play well." Liu Yifei said.
"A few days ago, the performance center held a meeting to set up next year's performance, and I met her, and she said that she now feels very scary when she looks at her performance 19 years ago, and she is afraid to watch it." Talking about other people's gossip is good for eating your own meal.
Liu Yifei has a deep understanding of this, and said with a smile: "Don't say it's been 19 years, I think Wang Yuyan wants to die now, how can she act like that." ”
"Wang Yuyan is very good, she is more liked." Zhang Yuanjun also smiled.
"How do you feel when you see Guihai slashing now?"
"Eat, eat, why are you talking about this?" Zhang Yuanjun served Liu Yifei with vegetables, "It's been so many years." ”
The two have eaten, one cleans up the dishes and chopsticks, and the other cleans, which is quite the fireworks of husband and wife life.
After tidying up, the two of them nestled in the sofa again, covered with the same blanket, and watched TV together.
I didn't go back to my room until late to rest.
As soon as Christmas passed, Zhang Yuanjun threw himself into intense rehearsals.
He had a performance on January 8th, and the rehearsal time was only about ten days.
After the Christmas battle, Cheng Long finally admitted defeat.
The number of viewers of "Thai Embarrassment" exceeded 20 million, becoming the first film in the mainland to exceed 20 million viewers since the introduction of account-sharing blockbusters in 94.
And "Zodiac" has not broken 500 million so far.
Cheng Long finally relented: "Xu Zheng, who is a director for the first time, has such a good box office in "Thai Embarrassment"! I have been making movies for 52 years, I have witnessed many miracles, and I have created many miracles, and today, as a senior, the happiest thing is to see Chinese filmmakers being able to compete and continue to make movies that the audience really likes! ”
In fact, it can still be seen from the words that Cheng Long is a little hard-mouthed, and when he praises Xu Zheng, he has to put on the old-timer shelf and pull the domestic flag.
In fact, the results of "Zodiac" are not bad, and according to the current trend, it is not a problem to collect seven or eight billion yuan in China.
But Huayi, or Cheng Long, doesn't seem to be able to accept losing to a rookie director and losing to a low-budget comedy that costs less than a fraction of "Zodiac".
Xu Zheng, a second-tier actor - he may not even be a second-tier actor before "Thai Embarrassment" - can't act in movies, has no choice but to transform into a director, and makes non-mainstream road comedy films, and kills the golden sign of Chinese movies in the most important Chinese New Year file of the year.
Looking back, does the victory of "Thai Embarrassment" in the Chinese New Year file mark the comprehensive rise of the new forces in the Chinese film industry? Since "Thai Embarrassment", old-school filmmakers have gradually lost their right to speak in the market and are declining?
On New Year's Day, the box office of "Thai Embarrassment" officially exceeded 1 billion, becoming the first Chinese-language film to break 1 billion at the box office.
So far, "Thai Embarrassment" has become a milestone in the history of Chinese film.
Later in the afternoon of the same day, CCTV press officer Weibo posted a congratulatory Weibo and asked: "It is reported that the highest box office record holder for films screened in China is "Avatar", which won 1.38 billion. Do you think "Thai Embarrassment" can continue to break this record? ”
Yes, after "Thai Embarrassment" broke 1 billion, the whole country was looking to see if he could defeat the blue-skinned man.
However, it was also at this time that experts and scholars came out to give their opinions: ""Thai Embarrassment" is a typical 'three vulgar' movies, vulgar, vulgar, and kitsch. China's cultural industry, represented by films, should not only focus on the box office, but should pay attention to cultural orientation and improve the cultural quality and taste of the people. Such a high box office reflects the low level of national appreciation to a certain extent, the higher the box office, the bigger the problem, such a movie is meaningless for the improvement of national quality, but will play a negative role. ”
But soon, such views were refuted by the state media: "The audience will never be as tasteless as the article says, and the film censorship department will never be as uncultured as the author thinks." …… It is the vocation of movies to please the audience, and there is no movie without pleasure, and there are purely entertaining movies at home and abroad. How can we assert that it is a typical 'three vulgarities' just because "Thai Embarrassment" is popular without much ideological connotation! ”
"If "Thai Embarrassment" is really as unbearable as the article says, how can the audience rush into the theater in a hurry? Do you think the audience is stupid enough to be bad for money? …… As a cultural industry, film should develop healthily and have a correct guiding role, but it must not be said that there is a super high box office and that "Thai Embarrassment" is a typical 'three vulgar' works. ”
"Thai Embarrassment" broke 1 billion, proving that domestic audiences are not superstitious about Hollywood, and a simple domestic lineup can also reach 1 billion, which is a shot in the arm for the entire market.
The market is very hot, and various production companies are grinding their fists, trying to keep up with the pace of "Thai Embarrassment", hoping to make their own 1 billion movies.
But some people are very cold, Yang Mi.
Of the three films "Mulan", "Turandot" and "Empty City" that were negotiated in the venture capital market of the Shanghai Film Festival this year, the first two were cut in infancy, and she was fired from the crew in the latter part, on the grounds that the producer Yindu Agency would never accept her to play the film, and there was no room for negotiation.
Yang Mi is unlucky to be home!
The loss of all three films means that after Yang Mi finishes "Little Times" next month, except for a few cameo roles, her entire year's schedule is empty!
This is absolutely unacceptable to her!
She felt that she had encountered the biggest crisis since she started her career, and there was no filming!
During this time, the agent Zeng Jia was frantically contacting the crew for her, but it was difficult, the small crew couldn't afford her, she couldn't look down on her, the big crew didn't want her, and the crew was afraid of this Bodhisattva.
Zeng Jia suggested that she go to Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei after finishing "Little Times", and they may have resources to recommend them.
But Yang Mi is not optimistic about this, Liu Yifei doesn't even care about Shu Chang, how can she care about her.
"Let's finish filming the scene in hand first." Yang Mi had no choice but to comfort herself with such a statement.
