Entertainment from Charlotte's Troubles

Chapter 329 Bigger and Stronger, Greater Glory

"I'll give you the whole AK, and I'll give you a whole lot of Laifu, and call your soul, make it bigger and stronger, and create more glories!"

"I will guard the way that should be guarded. Stay away from me and stop talking nonsense. I have already fought the battle that should be fought, and I have run to the end of the road that should be run."

This year's Spring Festival, Zhang Yu and Li Yifeng are undoubtedly the biggest winners. An unknown person made Zhang Yu completely out of the circle. The previous two billion-dollar box office movies with Yuan Hua did not have much impact this time.

Regardless of whether it is Operation Red Sea or I am not the god of medicine, he is a supporting role after all, with limited space and little space to display his performance. After serving as the male lead this time, he completely let himself go and contributed superb acting skills.

Acting on the same stage with Da Pan, Ren Suxi, and Chen Jianbing, his acting skills are not inferior to those of them, with a denim jacket, a cockscomb hair, and a dialect, overwhelming the crowd.

After watching Nobody, there is no one who came out of the movie theater without smiling.

From the second day of junior high school, the single-day box office of the unknown people began to soar, with a vague meaning of climbing to the first echelon.

The box office of Li Yifeng's Animal World was not ideal, and it still didn't exceed [-] million yuan on the second day of the Lunar New Year, but its reputation was surprisingly good, better than those of his previous movies.

This drama is his transformation work, the male protagonist who is full of foul language, and the male protagonist who strips naked and exposes himself are all his sincerity for the transformation.

The box office of Cheng Long's Detective Pu Songling was cut in half on the second day of its release, only about 2000 million.

Brother Cheng Long didn't care about this either, he had already collected the 8000 million film salary, so the box office was none of his business, it was the investor's business.

The situation of Master Xing's new king of comedy is also not optimistic. He is a brother and brother with detective Pu Songling. There was a lot of scolding on the Internet.

Love has an afterlife, except that the box office exceeded 9000 million on the first day of its release, and then fell from the second day, 8000 million, 7000 million, [-] million... It slowly fell all the way, and rose again when it encountered a high number of films.

The Spring Festival stalls last for seven days. After the eighth day of the lunar new year, ordinary people go to work and return to normal life, and the box office of various companies plummets again.

At this time, Ai has a box office of [-] million in the next life, and Yuan Hua and Jing Tian are quite satisfied with the result.

This is an art film, there are no big scenes, no social phenomena, profound education, it is a simple love story.

If it weren't for Yuan Hua and Jing Tian to star in and bring a lot of traffic, it wouldn't be surprising for Yuan Hua to make 2000 million at the final box office.

However, the [-] million box office is almost at the end. It is estimated that by the time it is released, it will only be around [-] million, and the total box office may hover around [-] million.

Detective Pu Songling, as of the eighth day of the lunar new year, had a box office of [-] million. Currently, it has a single-day box office of several million. It is a smash hit. It can be said that it is the most smashing movie work of Brother Cheng Long in the past ten years.

The new king of comedy, as of the eighth day of the eighth day, the box office is [-] million, and the final box office may be [-] or [-] million. Master Xing's bet is about to be completed, and he is more anxious than anyone else.

Dapeng's Sewing Machine Band has a box office of 3000 million, much better than Detective Pu Songling and The King of Comedy. Judging from the Spring Festival schedule, it can be seen that comedy is still popular.

However, Dapeng has a criminal record and his "personality" is not good. The last Pancake Man ruined the popularity of passers-by, disgusted netizens, and ruined his reputation. Many people are unwilling to watch his movie this time.

Even with the publicity of tap water and a lot of praise, the audience is still reluctant to enter the movie theater.

Dapeng, who tasted the bad results for the first time, regretted it.

If the time could be restarted, even if he was killed, he would not shoot Pancake Man. After all, he paid for his choice.

He put a lot of energy into the Sewing Machine Band this time, and poured all his enthusiasm into it since he joined the industry.

It cost millions of dollars to build a guitar sculpture of tens of meters. After it was built, it was shot for a period of time, and then most of it was dismantled to continue shooting.

In order to find a venue, I begged my grandpa to tell my grandma everywhere.

In order to invite those rock veterans to make guest appearances, his master, Uncle Benshan, used his personal connections to call people one by one to invite them to dinner and drink. Even Yuan Hua had the cheek to invite them here.

It can be said that he put in ten times, dozens of times as much energy in the movie Sewing Machine Band as in Pancake Man.

But when it was released, many viewers were reluctant to watch it. Not only did they not watch it, they even scolded him.

There are not just one or two directors with bad money, why should he be scolded alone, where can he go to reason?

……

After getting together with friends from Shanghai, before the eighth day of the lunar new year, Yuan Hua came to the crew of Wandering Earth.

It started up here last month.

The actors couldn't go back during the Chinese New Year, and everyone in the crew worked overtime.

The Wandering Earth has many special effects, and the shooting location is basically in the studio, facing the green cloth.

No need to run around, it seems easy, but in fact it is not easy at all. Several leading actors carry spacesuits weighing dozens of kilograms every day, and they are half dead tired. The clothes are heavy and inconvenient to wear, and it takes a long time to wear them.

"Happy New Year everyone, a little gift for everyone."

As soon as he arrived at the set, Yuan Hua gave away hundreds of thermos cups and hundreds of down jackets as a gift, and he never refused to come to anyone who asked for autographs and group photos.

Whether this year's VAM can be completed depends on the team, and it is right to put more effort into it.

"Mr. Yuan, Happy New Year, don't you have any red envelopes?" Zhao Jinmao, the lead actress, said with wide-eyed eyes.

In [-], she was seventeen this year, with short hair that reached her ears and was graceful, giving her the appearance of a beauty.

A few years ago on the actor's birth stage, when Yuan Hua saw her for the first time, she was still in junior high school, and in a blink of an eye she looked slim, a third-year student in high school.

Wandering Earth used to be a bankrupt crew. After receiving Yuan Hua's investment, the crew has sufficient funds, and the director deliberately replaced the male and female protagonists.

In the end, under Yuan Hua's suggestion, Zhao Jinmao stayed, the male number one left, and a young man was replaced.

So for Yuan Hua, Zhao Jinmao is still very grateful.

"I haven't prepared the red envelopes. I will send them out after the finale. How is the progress of the filming?"

"It's pretty fast, but I can't bear to work overtime and stay up late every day. I'm still a child, and I'm growing up."

Zhao Jinma pouted and said.

Yuan Huayun glanced at the textbook on Zhao Jinma's rest chair, nodded and said, "Indeed, director Guo Fan's behavior is too bad. Don't worry, this will not happen after I join the group. Everyone will finish work on time."

Asking a high school senior to work overtime every day, Guo Fan can do it, and the future flowers of the motherland are almost gone.

Of course, the main reason was that Yuan Hua didn't want to work overtime either.

When I was in my 30s, my energy was not as good as before. When I was in my 20s, I didn’t have any problem staying up for two days and nights. Now I stay up late once, and I don’t have energy for the next two or three days.

"Where's Teacher Wu Mengda, didn't you see him?"

The person with the highest salary in this film is Wu Mengda, the crew invited more than 50 yuan, Yuan Hua is a guest star, and no money is required.

As for the legendary golden supporting role, he wanted to meet him very much.

In the Hong Kong films of the 90s and [-]s, Wu Mengda often appeared, especially in Zhou Xingchi's films, Wu Mengda was always the second male lead.

It is said that Master Xing has a withdrawn personality, and generally there are not many people who can catch the eye, but Wu Mengda has cooperated with him in one film after another. Many times he only calls Wu Mengda by name, and Wu Mengda will not act unless he is Wu Mengda.

When the two were young, they often discussed honing their acting skills. When they were interested, they could discuss for a night. It can be said that they are mutual bosom friends.

In recent years, Wu Mengda's health has been poor, and the cooperation between the two has decreased, which is a great pity for the audience.

If this year's new king of comedy has Wu Mengda as the star, Yuan Hua dares to say that the box office will be at least one billion more.

"Uncle Da is not in good health, he is in the hospital."

Zhao Jinmao said worriedly.

Yuan Hua frowned: "What's the situation, isn't it serious?"

Knowing that Wu Mengda's health is not good, I didn't expect that he had already entered the hospital after patting.

"It's okay, but the space suit is too heavy, and the pressure was too long in the morning, and it was a bit overwhelming after he came down. Director Guo asked him to recuperate first, and come back in two days."

The crew of The Wandering Earth was very bitter, so much so that an old drama player like Wu Mengda expressed more than once that he wanted to refund the money and run away.

Director Guo Fan tried his best to persuade him to stay once or twice.

"That's good. Tell me when you are not in good health. Don't hold back." Yuan Hua looked at Zhao Jinmao: "You are the same."

Worried about being replaced, Zhao Jinma patted his chest and said, "I'm young, I'm fine, I eat quack after work every day, and I learn quack stick."

Yuan Hua chuckled: "I believe that."

There are a lot of people in the entertainment industry who set up superstars, but there are very few real superstars, and they have to brag about their three or four hundred points in the college entrance examination. Fans who don't know are excited, thinking that their idols are amazing.

Counting the last 20 years, no one with a score of more than [-] in the college entrance examination can get a single hand.

Only Yuan Hua knew about two of them. Among them was Yang Mi, who scored more than 580 in the college entrance examination. As an art candidate, it is very good to have this score. The threshold for several major film schools is only more than 300 points.

The other one is Gege Guan Xiaotong in the Beijing circle, with more than 550 points.

Although Zhao Jinma has not yet passed the college entrance examination, Yuan Hua read a report in her previous life that she passed [-] points.

For a student who spends every day in the film crew and attends less than two months a year, getting more than 500 points in the test is indeed a top student.

Many students who sit in class every day can't get so many points in the test.

Of course, in addition to talent and hard work, academic masters also rely on the guidance of professional teachers. Masters like Zhao Jinmao who are not short of money usually need one-on-one tutoring by gold medal teachers who cost hundreds of dollars a class. Comes big in class.

In the afternoon, Yuan Hua finished her make-up, and went up to pressure to play her part.

His role is in space, he doesn't need to wear a spacesuit, he just needs to be coerced, which makes Zhao Jinmao envious and jealous.

After filming for a week, Yuan Hua met Wu Mengda.

With gray hair and an old face, he was supported by assistants when he walked, and he was filming in a spacesuit weighing tens of kilograms, and he had to inhale a few mouthfuls of oxygen for each shot.

After Yuan Hua joined the crew, the progress of the crew slowed down, the actors had a lot of rest time, and Zhao Jinma also spent more time reading and studying.

This situation lasted for nine days. After nine days, Yuan Hua left after filming the cameo scene, and the crew got busy again.

At the end of February, the Spring Festival movie was released.

Ai You Lai Sheng had a box office of [-] million, with a total investment of [-] million. After deducting the theater share, distribution, and publicity expenses, taxes, and investment costs, Yixin Film and Television earned [-] million.

The one-billion-dollar bet was suddenly reduced by [-] million, and the pressure was greatly reduced.

Detective Pu Songling invested more than [-] million and won [-] million at the box office. The investor died crying in the toilet. Cheng Long did not participate in the investment and seemed to have nothing to lose.

As one of the few stars who can break into Hollywood, Chenglong's salary was 20 million as early as 8000 years ago, and it will still be 20 million 8000 years later.

The reason why there is no progress at all is not unrelated to his frequent bad movies.

The quality of the films has varied over the past few years, and the salary has also dropped visible to the naked eye. This year, Detective Pu Songling earned more than [-] million yuan at the box office. Yuan Hua is sure that it doesn't matter whether anyone dares to ask him to film in the future, let alone reducing the film salary.

The situation with Master Xing is better. The king of the new drama, the box office is good, more than 8000 million. The investment of this film is not high, not more than [-] million, [-] to [-] million.

Except for Wang Baoqiang, the other actors in this drama are not well-known, and the salary is not much high.

Moreover, Master Xing's film remuneration is relatively low in the industry. After all, such a big director can't be acted by many people rushing to act in his film. How dare the agent ask for a high remuneration.

Not to mention the low salary, it means that people who have a lot of money are willing to act, and they can pay for it.

Nobody's [-] million box office, as a low-budget movie, the producer made a lot of money, and Zhang Yu has also made a name for himself. From Red Sea to Medicine God, and then to Nobody, his roles are different in each film, and he is a solid acting school .

The box office of Animal World is more than 5 million, which hit the street, and the investors have not recovered the cost. This movie is released globally, and the box office abroad is not good, so it is desperate.

Fortunately, word of mouth is good, but it has helped Li Yifeng gain a wave of popularity.

The Sewing Machine Band had a box office of 8000 million, and the film invested [-] million, which was profitable, but not much.

During the film's release, Dapeng posted a small composition on Weibo every day to admit his mistakes, saying that he should not have filmed Pancake Man in the early years, and he was determined to correct himself and not make bad films. He begged netizens to go to the cinema to support the sewing machine band and give him a chance.

The total box office of this year's Spring Festival movies is less than 50 billion, which is an upset.

Compared with last year and the year before last, which broke [-] billion at every turn, it is a world apart.

The main reason is that the audience is not stupid anymore, and they don't eat traffic. Small fresh meat can't support the box office, and old actors can't sell their feelings. Even Cheng Long only has a box office of more than [-] million.

In this general environment, if you want a good box office, you can only work hard on the quality of the film.

For example, Dapeng, don't look at the netizens saying that they don't want to watch the Sewing Machine Band. After the film's popularity was well received, some viewers still bought tickets.

……

You are my glory, Undocumented Crime, Fortress of the Demon City, Wandering Earth, Me and My Motherland, Da Ming Feng Hua, Qing Yu Nian, Master of Demon Dao, Xiao Huanxi, Chang'an Twelve Hours, Dear Love, Hello Li Huanying... …Since January, film and television dramas have been launched one after another.

Li Huanying's start-up time is March after the beginning of spring. Yuan Hua started the start-up as soon as the first draft of the script came out and passed the review.

Jia Ling, Zhang Xiaofei, Qiao Shan and others didn't have time to memorize their lines. They were all rushed to the set by Yuan Hua. For the scene to be filmed the next day, they memorized their lines on the first day.

"Thousands of Tired Great Walls Can't Get Pregnant"

"Thousands of tired Yellow River water secretly"

"Gangshan Thin Thunder Disc Colorful Front Cold"

"Kissing my Guo family is like dyeing handles"

At the filming scene, Yuan Hua wore a red sweater with a white shirt, and a standard Cantonese song made everyone petrified.

Strong singing skills and confident expressions made it hard for everyone to hold back.
