The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 655 May
A steam locomotive was lying across the railway.

There were a lot of people crowded in front of the platform, wrapped in winter clothes, the brown fluff on their clothes swaying in the wind.

Gu Qiuyan, played by Song Jia, is dressed gorgeously. The other ladies are whispering and chatting cheerfully, but she is the only one who keeps lowering her head from time to time, looking thoughtful and full of worries.

In the train, Liu Kui dragged a prisoner down.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ming, played by Li Hongtao, walked out wearing a pair of black round-frame sunglasses.

Song Jia's attention was instantly drawn to the sunglasses on his face, and his eyes revealed just the right amount of confusion.

According to the plan, she and Zhou Yi met at the train station this time, and neither of them knew what each other looked like.

For the safety of the two people, the organization only used sunglasses as an authentication mark and did not reveal any other features.

But Lao Wei clearly told her that they were square sunglasses.

A police officer came forward and looked at the man with glasses in Liu Kui's hand: "What's going on?"

"A thought criminal, caught along the way." Li Hongtao explained casually, exchanging glances with Song Jia inadvertently.

Zhou Yi, played by Lu Yuan, got off the car after Lu Ming.

He held a pair of damaged square sunglasses in his right hand. He paused for a moment on the train steps, raised the hand holding the sunglasses, and adjusted his hat.

Zhou Yi encountered a small accident while riding on the train.

Because he was assisting in the arrest of ideological criminals, the sunglasses he had agreed to wear were stepped on and broken by his colleagues, so he designed this little action.

Lu Yuan looked around the group, Gao Bin, Mrs. Gao, and many unfamiliar faces.

Finally, he paused at Song Jia's face, which looked dignified.

The reason why he got off the car after Lu Ming was that he was worried that his sunglasses would be stepped on and broken, making it impossible for Gu Qiuyan to confirm his identity.

Therefore, he deliberately let Lu Ming get off first, and he looked through the car window to preliminarily confirm who Gu Qiuyan was.

Song Jia was lost in thought about the shape of his sunglasses, and because of the crowds of people around, he didn't notice Lu Yuan's little movement.

Mrs. Gao, who was standing beside him, saw Lu Yuan getting off the train and pushed her with her arm with a smile: "Sister, why are you standing there like an idiot? Come over here quickly."

"Hey!"

Song Jia responded with a forced smile, his eyes subconsciously falling on Li Hongtao who was wearing sunglasses, ignoring Lu Yuan who was standing behind him.

Seeing her walking straight towards him, Li Hongtao frowned, a look of suspicion appeared on his face.

There are only a few steps between Song Jia and Li Hongtao.

But Song Jia's departure was very painful, because she waited and waited, but Lu Yuan could not even recite his lines, and was about to walk up to Li Hongtao.

Just as she was about to open her mouth, Lu Yuan called out softly, "Qiu Yan!"

Song Jia instantly turned his gaze towards him, and was obviously stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Hongtao again: "Thank you."

Li Hongtao's expression was a little unnatural. Song Jia didn't pronounce her lines correctly. She should have said "Thank you for coming all the way to pick him up", but she pronounced the wrong words.

"Card!"

Jiang Wei was happily imagining what wonderful performances Lu Yuan, Cheng Yu and Li Hongtao would put on.

Unexpectedly, the leading actress Song Jia was the first to fail.

Song Jia felt that she was wronged and chose to play Gu Qiuyan. Her purpose was very clear: to win an award.

The scene where Zhou Yi and Gu Qiuyan meet for the first time is the highlight of the whole drama. It is crucial to whether this scene can catch the audience's attention.

Everything, including which second to speak, which actions and expressions to add, has gone over in her mind countless times. She is confident and has control over the rhythm.

But when it was Lu Yuan's turn to speak his lines, he just refused to read them.

When she started to think about what to do next, and even suspected that something might have gone wrong with the other party, he suddenly spoke, causing her to lose her composure and interrupting her rhythm.

So much so that the lines were read badly.

Mrs. Gao saw Song Jia's secret regret.

The actress who plays Mrs. Gao is Zhang Huilan, a native of Heilongjiang Province. She is a national first-class actress and has played Xiu'er's mother in "Crossing the Guandong".

Having been in the industry for many years, she quickly understood the reason. She looked at Song Jia with interest for a moment, then turned to look at Cheng Yu: "Song Jia is too anxious and wants to perform this role well, so she seems very deliberate. I guess Lu Yuan also saw this and deliberately suppressed her."

"Yes." Cheng Yu nodded in approval.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Song Jia was trying to control the rhythm of the scene.

Let Gu Qiuyan be the focus of the play, and hope that Lu Yuan will follow her rhythm.

Lu Yuan was not someone who could be easily defeated. With just one simple line of dialogue, he interrupted everything she had planned.

Song Jia looked at Lu Yuan who was approaching, wondering: "Why did you pause for a few seconds when it was your turn to speak the lines just now?"

Lu Yuan played with the broken sunglasses in his hand without looking up: "Let me ask you a question. In the scene just now, can Gu Qiuyan confirm who Zhou Yi is?"

"Of course not. Lu Ming's sunglasses are round, which is different from what Lao Wei told me."

"So who are you acting for when you look so confident?" Lu Yuan glanced at her and continued.

"I know you were well prepared. You wrote nearly 50,000 words for Gu Qiuyan's biography and read countless files. But it was precisely because you were too well prepared that your expression, movements, and eyes lost their agility, as if it was supposed to be that way. You ignored Gu Qiuyan's true thoughts. I didn't see the trance, anxiety, and restlessness that Gu Qiuyan should have."

"Just now I got off the car after Lu Ming, and your eyes were fixed on him from beginning to end. Since Gu Qiuyan was unsure, why didn't you look behind him?"

"Because you're not wearing sunglasses." Song Jia blurted out.

"Really? Then, who knows if Zhou Yi is not wearing sunglasses?"

Without waiting for her to answer, Lu Yuan continued, "I think it was the actor Song Jia, it was you. You knew the plot in advance, and you knew that Zhou Yi's sunglasses were crushed and couldn't be put on, so Gu Qiuyan followed your thoughts and subconsciously ignored the person behind you."

"I didn't..." Song Jia wanted to explain himself.

Lu Yuan interrupted: "When a normal person is absent-minded, his eyes will unconsciously search among the crowd, but you don't. I know what you are thinking, but deliberate design can easily be seen through by the audience, making the character feel detached, and the audience's vision is pulled back to the actor himself. I suggest you forget the deliberately designed actions in your mind."

He turned around, thought for a moment, and added: "If you want to win an award for this role."

Song Jia stood there in a daze. It turned out that he knew her purpose.

Seeing this, Jiang Wei stopped interfering: "Adjust for ten minutes, and we'll do it again!"

The public opinion storm caused by the special edition of "Iron Man 3" has not stopped.

The confrontation between Jia Zhangke and Cheng Er on Weibo made the matter more and more serious.

Fan Bingbing and Wang Xuexi no longer played ostrich and came out to be interviewed, claiming that this was not the case in the contract they had signed and that they were also victims.

Although public opinion was in full swing, it did not have much impact on the performance of "Iron Man 3". After ten days of release, the cumulative box office exceeded 5 million.

DMG bought out the mainland distribution rights from Marvel and made a ton of money.

Although the special edition is disgusting, the Chinese market is too big. Not everyone goes online, and not everyone thinks this is a big deal.

But it is undeniable that through this incident, more people got to know the angry young patriotic literary director Cheng Er, and became curious about the low-budget police and gangster film "Border Storm". Under the subtle influence, they would choose to click on the promotional draft of "Border".

For example, the lead actor Deng Chao got furious at the producers at a preview.

Because the name of the actress Gao Ye who plays the policeman’s sister is not on the promotional poster.

Deng Chao also revealed details about the actress, saying that in order to make the film appear more realistic, she was almost suffocated to death by plastic wrap on the set.

Although netizens suspected that most of this was hype by the crew, it ultimately deepened their impression of the film.

The film industry in May is extremely lively.

The love movie "Youth" has been released for 5.8 days and has accumulated a box office of 5.97 million yuan. It is inevitable that it will surpass the million yuan of "Seattle".

Nowadays, the public is looking forward to the final box office of this drama, whether it can catch up with "Time Raiders" and become the runner-up of domestic romance films.

The performance of "So Young" also means that Xue Xiaolu had only been the number one female director in the Chinese-language film market for a few days before she was overthrown by Zhao Yanzi.

For a time, Zhao Yanzi was the talk of the town and received high praise from people in the circle. It seemed that she had entered the ranks of top directors.

In addition to "So Young" and "Iron Man 3", Feng Xiaogang is filming "Private Customization", and Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" has been officially launched and is busy with casting and location viewing.

The billionaire director Wen Muye has made new moves recently and has been frequently photographed in contact with the director of "Li Mi's Conjecture", who is also his senior brother Cao Baoping.

There are rumors that the two are suspected to be preparing a new reality-themed movie "Burning Sun".

Zhang Yimou's first work after signing with LeTV is "The Return", in which he visited various art schools and was busy auditioning for roles.

Guo Jingming's "Tiny Times" and Han Han's "See You Tomorrow" have been clashing with each other on social media.

"Chinese Partners", starring Lu Yuan and Huang Xiaoming, is still two months away from its release. Materials are released from time to time and promotions are started step by step.

Time flies, and May 5th is here in a flash.

Under the banner of resisting Hollywood and speaking out for Chinese movie fans, the emotional crime film "Border Storm", invested by Yuanfang Media, produced by Ning Hao and Chen Zhixi, directed by Cheng Er, and co-starred by Deng Chao, Luo Jin, Yuan Quan, Yang Kun, Ni Dahong, and Pan Yuemin, has officially landed in major theaters under the watchful eyes of countless netizens.

First-day box office: 1059 million.

It’s not a very outstanding result, but considering that its cost is less than 20 million, this result is quite good and can be said to be a good start.

"Drug War", a movie with the same theme, only grossed 1188 million on its first day of release, while the investment in this movie was million!

This is the difference in whether the publisher will market.

Not only that, "Border" is also a typical author's film with a very novel shooting technique.

There are very few dialogue scenes in the entire film, and many times the protagonist only needs a look or a smile to convey many details.

Cheng Er has an extremely strong personal style, which is literary and artistic, full of accent; the pictures, music, editing, and structure all reveal a damn sense of ritual.

This made many viewers who saw this style for the first time unable to stop, as if their G-spot was touched, and they praised it lavishly on the Internet.

As the saying goes, a turtle looks at a mung bean, it just likes the pretentious tone.

Lao Huang, the chief writer of Movie World, said: "Border is definitely a very rare crime film of a high standard in the mainland in recent years. It is also a good film that is easily overlooked. The script is solid, the narrative structure is unusual, and the editing is fascinating."

Ma Sheng, a well-known film critic known for his sharp remarks, said: "Border is not a product copied from the commercial film assembly line. It does have its own unique aesthetic appeal. Compared with those mediocre works that are stereotyped and stable, Border is undoubtedly more interesting and sharper, and the deeper you go into it, the more you will find."

The film received very high praise from the industry, and ordinary audiences were also generous in their recognition of "Border Storm", and they posted their viewing experience online.

Netizen UGLY Ping'er: "It's so good that it doesn't look like a domestic film. This is the highest praise I can think of. The plot and rhythm are very good, and the soundtrack is weird and wonderful. I hope this low-key domestic film can have good box office."

Netizen Zhan Daling, who has already been tanned, said: "My husband said this is the most exciting movie he has seen this year. It is short and thrilling, and it is great!"

Netizen Aiyaya: "Every scene is full of heavy emotions. The love between the uncle and the loli is so cute, isn't it?"

The crew of "The Cliff".

There was a big fan standing in the rest area, blowing proudly.

In May in Dalian, the daytime temperature hovers around 20 degrees.

This is the most comfortable season, but unfortunately Lu Yuan was filming a winter scene. He was wearing a cotton coat, a cotton hat, and all black. He looked very stylish, but it was very hot.

Ning Hao came to visit the set today and stood on the back where the fan couldn't reach him: "Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

"Why don't you try wearing my clothes?"

"Forget it. I don't want to make myself suffer. Why wasn't this drama filmed at the end of last year?"

Lu Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and rolled his eyes: "That also requires my schedule to be available."

“Can’t we shoot this movie first, and then My Love from the Star?”

"Of course not. Compared with spy dramas, idol dramas are obviously more likely to attract new members to PPS."

"When it comes to attracting new users, Internet giants are different. They have a lot of tricks for every situation." Ning Hao curled his lips.

Lu Yuan ignored his words and asked, "How is the box office of "Border" these days?"

"You invested in it, don't you care?"

"Hey, I've been very busy lately. I'm so hot every day that I don't have time to care about those things. I haven't read the emails from the company for several days."

"Okay, the cost of 1700 million is really nothing to you." Ning Hao was speechless, but still explained.

"On the premiere day, it took in 1059 million yuan, and the fans gave good feedback. The Douban score started at 8.3. As the word-of-mouth of the movie spread further, the theaters increased the screening schedule, and the box office continued to rise in the following days, 1659 million yuan, 1986 million yuan, and 2157 million yuan. The cumulative box office in five days exceeded 8000 million yuan."

Lu Yuan estimated in his mind: "According to this trend, the final box office will be around 3 million."

"That's about it." Ning Hao shrugged: "Congratulations, Boss Lu, you made another fortune."

"It's a small profit, a small profit. It's all thanks to everyone. If it weren't for what happened with Iron Man 3, it would have been difficult for Border to achieve this result." Lu Yuan pretended to be modest.

Ning Hao looked at his face and wanted to kick him.

Where is the innocent and kind-hearted Lu Yuan from back then? He used to be the one who was most disgusted and disgusted with marketing. He thought marketing was shameful and went against the original intention of art.

But this is also good. Real artists are too high-end, and the living space left for them in this world is getting smaller and smaller.

According to the terms of the Star Project, he was the one who found the "Border" project, and even if he did not actually participate in the filming, he would still receive a certain percentage of the dividends.

With this in mind, he said, "When the promotion of "Lost in Thailand" begins, I'll ask Zhang Bowen to help me plan it. His marketing skills are really good."

"No problem. Hey!" Lu Yuan realized it later and stood up: "Have you finished the script of your Blooming? I was wondering why you suddenly came here today."

"It's called 'Lost in Thailand'." Ning Hao replied unhappily.

"Didn't Seven Days wrap up a few days ago? When I returned to Beijing and asked my wife, I found out that three quarters of the script had been written. I took a look at it and told her to stop writing and write the rest while filming. Comedy is special, and the effect of working behind closed doors is not as good as that of working together on the spot."

"Stop, stop, stop. Tell me how much you want to invest."

"3000 million!"
