Under the intensive publicity of the entire crew, the data for the first week came out quickly, and the single-week box office of 167 million was not good, but it was definitely not bad. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 However, in the questionnaire survey of the publicity and distribution department and the feedback from Douban, Time and other software, the audience's word-of-mouth response has shown a polarized trend. Some people feel that the plot of the movie is confusing and incomprehensible, and think that this movie is Wong Kar-wai's failure. But some people think that they don't understand, the sense of the times and Gong Er's feelings contained in the movie make these people choose to brush two or three times, but these people are a minority after all, and the singing and declining faction gradually prevailed.

It is undeniable that most of the domestic audience's movie-watching needs are guided by public opinion, and not so many literary and artistic young people can appreciate the martial arts of the Republic of China and the restrained and strong emotions created by Wong Kar-wai. Most viewers still prefer to choose a light-hearted and joyful family carnival type movie.

With the release of imported blockbusters, cinema resources have begun to tilt, and the audience base that prefers comedy has also tended to be saturated, but in the fifth week, "Thai Embarrassment", which has reduced the scale of screenings, still earned 57.86 million yuan at the box office, and the total box office has steadily exceeded 1.2 billion yuan. On the other hand, "The Grandmaster", the increasingly fierce word-of-mouth controversy is directly reflected in the box office, and the box office fell by nearly 50% in the second week, only 88 million, although at present, more than 300 million should not be a problem, but the investment of close to 300 million, and three years of filming time, have announced the failure of this film at the box office, Director Wang has ended most of the promotional activities, and returned to Hong Kong to plan overseas market sales.

Many people are feeling sorry for Wong Kar-wai and this movie, and Cao Ping is also very emotional, Wong Kar-wai's picture is too big, and it is undoubtedly a very difficult thing to show the martial arts of an entire era in one movie. The duration of the movie is limited, countless wonderful plots, countless important dark lines have been reduced, and even Zhang Zhen's scene has been cut to only one minute, becoming a soy sauce emperor.

On February 10, although most of the professionals in the circle and authoritative magazine critics gave the film a very high evaluation, it finally stayed at the total box office of 287 million, announcing the birth of another acclaimed movie.

However, these have nothing to do with Cao Ping, the movie was released, the crew was completely disbanded, and he received a salary from the finance, a total of more than 67,000 yuan, and a red envelope of 50,000 yuan from the director's bag, Cao Ping was completely off work.

However, Cao Ping did not leave Beijing, according to the plan previously made, with the residual heat of the movie, he began to accept countless interviews with the three media under the martial arts finger of "The Grandmaster", of course, a large part of it was bought with money. When the movie was released, he was not qualified to use the movie to hype, which would divert the popularity of the movie, but now that the movies are off the shelves, it is understandable for him to hype it again. Even if Director Wang knows, he will hope to continue to heat up the movie, not to mention that Cao Ping's own team spends money, and no one can control him, so why not?

Of course, this can only play an auxiliary role, at most it makes the audience a little familiar with Cao Ping, but being able to participate in Wong Kar-wai's film production, even if it is an auxiliary, is enough to make Cao Ping a little famous in the film industry. Xiao Fang began to receive calls from some directors one after another, but most of them were new directors, small productions, and some wanted to empty the gloves of the white wolf, and under the banner of letting Cao Ping be the leading actor, they wanted him to bring money into the group, but they were all pushed by Xiao Fang.

The capital market in the film industry is very chaotic, and there are many examples of people with distribution channels who spend hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars to make a movie and make a wave of money in the online circle, but they always lose more and earn less. Like other industries, the snowball principle that the richer you get, the more money you can make, is also one of the rules of the film industry. Why is it called the film circle, the film industry is an industry with an extremely obvious circle culture, the 28 principle prevails, the top circle holds the top resources, the big company has a big director, and the big star is attached to the big company, which produces a strong ability to absorb money, so as to be able to grab more resources, this is the most common model, it is easy for ordinary people to enter the industry, but it is difficult to enter the circle. And Cao Ping was fortunate enough to enter this circle, and he has surpassed countless newcomers who have no way to cast.

There will be no suitable drama for a while, so Xiao Fang applied with the company and sent Cao Ping to Beijing Film Academy as an auditor under the pretext of a relationship.

Beiying is in the university town of Haidian District, compared with the surrounding schools such as Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Beijing Normal University, etc., it is not as big as a campus, but it is a paradise for countless actors with star dreams across the country.

Take No. 375 to the West Gate of Beiying, standing at the gate, Cao Ping looked in. The doorman opened the window and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Cao Ping hurriedly ran over and said, "Hello, I'm here to report." ”

"It's been a week since school started! Why are you here to report!" asked the doorman.

"This ...... I'm an auditor......" Cao Ping was a little embarrassed.

"Oh...... Got it! Wait a minute. The doorman uncle didn't care when he saw that there were too many observers, so he picked up the phone and dialed a number, saying, "Hey, Director Li! This is the doorman! An observer came to report, and I asked him to go up to you?" The doorman lowered the phone and asked Cao Ping, "What's your name?"

After Cao Ping answered, the doorman said to the phone, opened the telescopic door to let Cao Ping in, and said, "You go in and walk to the left, go to the teaching E building, and go to the academic affairs office on the fifth floor to find Director Li." ”

Nodding, Cao Ping politely thanked the doorman, politeness is the simplest and most effective means to win the favor of others, almost no cost, it is definitely the most cost-effective way to socialize. The current Cao Ping naturally knows how to be polite to anyone, which is the wisest way to deal with the world.

Finding the Academic Affairs Office, Cao Ping knocked on the door, and a female voice came from inside: "Please come in!"

Pushing the door in, Cao Ping bowed lightly and politely greeted the middle-aged woman sitting behind the desk wearing black-rimmed glasses: "Hello Director Li." This is the first time he has come to the campus of the university, although he has been in the society for a long time, and even participated in the official shooting of the film, but Cao Ping is still a little restrained and excited to come to this university that represents the supreme status of the film industry.

Director Li pushed his glasses and smiled casually: "You're Cao Ping, right?

Sitting across the desk, Director Li said with a smile: "I understand your situation, let me first tell you about the course arrangement of the acting department of our film academy, there are nearly 20 compulsory courses in our undergraduate professional courses, but you are auditing, we call it special training, the courses are relatively few, and there is no need to take many theoretical courses." Because you have a high school degree, we will arrange you in the 13th level higher vocational 2 class, the course arrangement I suggest is to choose Introduction to Art, Chinese Film History, Foreign Film History, Film and Television Performance Analysis, Introduction to Aesthetics, Film Modeling, Language Skills, Vocal Music, Body, Performing Arts, if you choose the course, then the teacher will take a roll call for each class, and it is strictly forbidden to be late or absent from class, so you still determine the time when you can participate in the course according to the class schedule, once it is determined, it is not easy to change. Of course, if you have plenty of time, I still recommend taking a few more classes, after all, our most professional teachers will teach, which will still help you in your future acting career. ”

Handing a class schedule to Cao Ping, Director Li continued: "Our class time is from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Also, if you want to live on campus, you can take your student ID card to the dormitory building to check in, that's probably all there is to it, do you have anything else to ask?"

Cao Ping thought for a moment and asked, "Then can I go to class today?"

"Yes!" Director Li nodded, looked at his watch and said, "I'll take a look!" Class 13 (2) is a line class in the morning, in classroom 322 on the 2nd floor of the Acting Academy, you just go over directly after completing the formalities, by the way, this is your student ID. As he spoke, Director Li took out a blue student ID card from the drawer and handed it to Cao Ping.

took the student card, and the photo inside was specially taken by Cao Ping when he was applying for the college entrance examination admission ticket, and Cao Ping smiled brightly in the photo, but ...... After installing his student ID, Cao Ping stood up with the class schedule and thanked Director Li, and Cao Ping got up and came out.

After asking two classmates, Cao Ping found the No. 2 student apartment behind the sports field, and under the arrangement of the dormitory manager, Cao Ping lived in a four-person room on the second floor. After putting down his things, Cao Ping hurried to the acting academy.

Most of the courses in the Department of Acting are on the stage, so most of the courses are set up in the practice room of the Acting Academy, and the theoretical courses are concentrated in large classrooms for students of the same major.

Found the classroom, there was a class inside, Cao Ping stretched out his head at the door to look, and then knocked on the door. After a pause in the lecture, a slightly chubby man came over and opened the door and asked, "Who?"

Cao Ping was stunned, the man in front of him was a little familiar, his name was on his lips, but he couldn't call it, he remembered watching the TV series he played when he was a child, he played the young Xu Zhimo, and the glory in "Orange is Red", grandma liked to watch that TV series very much at that time, so she watched many episodes of cartoons less, so Cao Ping was very impressed.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" The chubby man asked suspiciously, Cao Ping came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Hello Mr. Xu, I am a new auditor, my name is Cao Ping." ”

"What Mr. Xu, my surname is Huang, my name is Huang Lei, come in!" the slightly chubby man was very kind and said happily.

"Uh......" Cao Ping was a little embarrassed, his brain was running quickly, and he joked: "Your Xu Zhimo is so good!

Huang Lei smiled and said, "Come on, don't play tricks on me, come in." ”

Cao Ping walked into the classroom and walked to the podium, the tables in the classroom were in a circle, and more than 20 students were sitting on both sides. All of them are handsome men and beautiful women, and Cao Ping, who was originally a little handsome, looked inconspicuous when standing in the classroom, but his straight body and tough physique made him feel a little outstanding.

Huang Lei sat casually on the table by the window and said, "Come, students, we welcome new students!"

The classmates applauded, and the few cute girls who were close to were particularly vigorous, and Cao Ping, who was contaminated with a social atmosphere, had a sense of maturity that was completely different from the other cream students in the classroom, which made the little girls very interested.

Huang Lei said: "New classmates, let's introduce ourselves!"
