Chapter 267 It’s just a matter of carrying it to death!

The box office of "Warring States" on the first day was not bad, with more than 1700 million, but its reputation has dropped to the level of dogs. It should be said that even dogs are a little disgusted.

"Lu Zheng pulled out the seedlings and encouraged them to grow. He pulled them out too hard."

Jingtian has not yet been able to stand up to the leading heroine on his own. Li Mu felt this when he was acting in "The Martian". However, because of the outstanding actors and his presence, these problems can be solved, and Jingtian is not the protagonist. If it doesn't work once, just do it twice. A few minutes of footage will naturally have no impact.

But movies with leading heroines almost all revolve around Jingtian, so if the director doesn't want to solve this shortcoming, he can only wait to be scolded, not to mention that the script is really not that good.

Lu Zheng was probably fooled by the big scene + big production, thinking that as long as he spent money, he would gain something.

On the third day alone, the box office of 1000 million was almost unsustainable. It collected just over 1000 million, and it had to fall below 1000 million on the fourth day. However, this should be the time when a movie's reputation ferments and the box office slowly increases.

"It's too scary." Liu Yifei shook her head as she looked at the box office drop of "Warring States".

"'Those Years' shouldn't be like this," Shu Chang said inappropriately.

"Shut your crow's mouth quickly."

Liu Yifei quickly blocked Shu Chang's mouth with her hands to prevent her from talking nonsense.

"."

There are also two domestic films in April, the blockbuster "Guan Yunchang" and Lu Yang's "Xiu Chun Dao", both of which are competing for the May Day slot.

The heroine of Xiuchundao, Liu Shisi, is going to follow the crew to make announcements and promote it.

"Step by Step" was completed in early April and entered post-production.

"Director Lu chose the schedule well, the movie got good results, and "Jingxin" will be released next. There will definitely be less trouble with Yang Mi this year."

Cai Yinong spoke with confidence. She must know the production quality of her own TV series. If Yu Zheng's "Palace" hadn't been plagiarized and released in advance, this year's hit would have been "Bu Bu Jing Xin".

"Yang Mi also has a movie this year." Liu Shisi responded. A few days ago, "Far Cry" starring Yang Mi has been scheduled for July.

"Her low-budget film can't compare with Director Lu's. It's a pity. If she could play Director Li's, it would be hard for you not to be popular."

Cai Yinong was quite disdainful of Yang Mi's low-budget movie. How many successful low-budget movies were there these days? Did she think she was starring in Mengying's low-budget movie?

Liu Shisi nodded. Anyway, that was the end of the matter. She and Yang Mi had nothing to say anymore. Even if the two reconciled, fans on both sides would not agree at this time.

A few days after the premiere, Liu Yifei went directly to visit the class. The media found out about it and even reported it.

"Liu Yifei and Shu sang "Gravity" and "Passengers" on their tour, followed by several vans, suspected to be supplies.

Unexpectedly, netizens made fun of it below.

"Good guy, this was fed in the past."

"I guess Director Li was hungry and asked Liu Yifei to deliver food. I heard that the space base is several kilometers in circumference and there is no fireworks."

"Sissi, it's only been less than a month since we started filming, and I already miss your director Li." Zhou Xun spoke without any hesitation, walked over with a swagger, picked up the drink that the set manager was carrying, and started drinking.

"Can you be more serious?"

Liu Yifei blushed, mainly because there were other people here. She didn't see that she didn't go to the set of "Gravity" at the first time. She came first to "Passengers", but she didn't expect to be exposed by Zhou Xun.

"Thank you Yi Fei and Chang Chang." Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Yi also came, and they gathered together to chat for a while.

"Let's go, hurry up and find Director Li of the You family. Our break is over and we're about to start filming."

Zhou Xun waved his hand, indicating that "Gravity" was over there.

Shu Chang originally wanted to come with Liu Yifei, but was pulled back by Zhou Xun: "What are you doing there? Just stay here and watch us act."

Liu Yifei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she could only go there by herself.

Li Mu knew it as soon as Liu Yifei came to visit the class. After all, the field staff had brought the food.

However, the actors were still acting in the "light box" at this time and could not stop to rest.

Everyone present saw Liu Yifei coming in, but no one said anything.

If in "Passengers" it was the sense of technology inside the spacecraft that made Liu Yifei's eyes shine, in "Gravity" it was the unique shooting techniques and the images from the monitor that made her feel fresh and new.

"Sister Yu Nan's acting skills are really good."

At this time, the scene where Matt is in the heroine's hallucination is being filmed.

Li Mu held the walkie-talkie: "Click, passed! Matt, congratulations on wrapping up."

The only remaining actors in the crew are Matt and Yu Nan. After today, it will be Yu Nan's one-man show.

"Let's attend Matt's closing banquet later. It's just in time. I'll treat you to something delicious." Li Mu said with a smile.

"You, ugh, are acting like a rogue."

Liu Yifei was about to cry but had no tears. She met the wedding banquet as soon as she arrived.

"Congratulations on wrapping up the movie. The performance was great. I hope we can collaborate in the future." Yu Nan also congratulated this partner who has been acting together for more than half a month.

"I think you will definitely come to Hollywood to act. You are a great actor."

Matt Damon doesn't hold back on his praise.

"Thank you!"

"Li, I believe this movie will become a masterpiece." Matt Damon and Li Mu hugged.

"You deserve half of the military merit."

"This is Crystal? She's very beautiful. I've seen your movie "The Witch" and it's very good. Your fighting scenes are also among the best among Hollywood female stars."

When Matt Damon said this, he seemed a little serious. He thought about it for a while before saying it.

"Thank you!"

At the celebration banquet in the evening, the atmosphere was lively, but everyone stopped drinking. There were still shooting tasks in the afternoon of the next day. As for the morning, Li Mu let everyone rest for half a day.

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang planned to stay for a few days before going back. The sense of technology here made them both a little novel.

"Is it okay if we take some photos and post them on Weibo?" Liu Yifei asked.

"Okay, just watch and come!"

Liu Yifei is not a newcomer, so she naturally knows where to shoot and where not to shoot.

After getting enough rest, "Gravity" started shooting again.

Liu Yifei, on the other hand, sang with Shu, looking for a suitable photo spot and preparing to take a selfie.

"Do you know how to take selfies?" Shu Chang watched Liu Yifei keep fiddling with it, making it look ugly.

"I come!"

Shu Chang got angry and grabbed the phone directly, "See clearly, this is called a selfie."

Liu Yifei was a little unconvinced: "It looked pretty good just now."

"You look great. My head is bigger than a winter melon under your lens. It's so ugly that my fans probably won't even recognize me when they see it."

"Sing, sing, is it possible that this is how your fans see you?"

"." After the shooting, the two people had already started thinking about the copywriting.

"I've edited it!" Liu Yifei looked at the copy she was about to send and was very satisfied.

"Let me see."

Shu Chang leaned over and took a look.

"I visited the Science Fiction Base with Chang Chang, looking forward to "Gravity" and "Passengers". It's really great here!"

Shu Chang shook his head: "Ma-so-hu-hu, look at this promotional article of yours."

"Go to the stars and the sea through the spaceship, break through "gravity", and be a "space passenger"."

"Okay, have you been reading lately?"

"Nonsense, books are the ladder of human progress"

The two posted a Weibo post together, and it became very popular. Not only netizens, but also people in the circle liked and commented on it.

"This is the original filming base for "The Martian". It feels updated. It's so cool. When will it be open for tours?"

"Both of them are beautiful, but I want to watch a movie. Please give in. Where are the stills?"

"I wish both movies a smooth completion."

The two of them were replying to Weibo, and they were very happy to reply.

"Sissi and the others have posted on Weibo. Please give it a like and spread the word." During Zhou Xun's break, he saw it as soon as he scrolled through it and replied below.

"The crew of "Passengers" will be announced soon, so stay tuned!"

Huang Xiaoming and others followed suit.

Compared with the expectations for Li Mu's and Guo Fan's films at this time, Lu Zheng is really uncomfortable now. Not only the audience is furious, but his own internal staff are also beginning to blame each other.

"Tian Tian, ​​it's okay. After all, you are still a newcomer. Your acting skills will naturally improve a lot if you act in a few more movies. If you watch Director Li's film, you will also shine. Uncle Lu has made arrangements for you this year. Just use it to practice your acting skills."

Lu Zheng didn't care too much about the box office failure. He had already scheduled three movies this year, three completely different genres, which were used as training for Jingtian.

He still doesn't believe it. Acting in actual combat training, can one show be worse than the other?

The cast of "Gravity".

"Ah Mu, look at this." Liu Yifei suddenly handed over her phone. This was a hot search that just broke out.

"Zhang Yuqi admitted her engagement on Weibo."

Behind Zhang Yuqi's long text, he also posted a huge diamond ring. This diamond ring was naturally given by Wang Quanan.

Li Mu looked at Yu Nan, who was still in the middle of the set, and sighed. He didn't believe that Yu Nan didn't know anything about it now. After all, she devoted all her youth and love to this relationship. However, Wang Quanan was three months pregnant with her. When the time comes, I will fall in love with you.

Yu Nan neither cried nor fussed, but was heartbroken and directly chose an abortion, even rejecting Wang Quanan's tens of millions in breakup fees.

One can imagine how much this blow was to her.

"Yu Nan, come here."

"What's wrong director?"

Although Yu Nan's sadness was deeply hidden, she couldn't hide it from Li Mu.

"Let's rest today!"

Li Mu thought for a while and decided to slow down for a day. Anyway, the progress was much smoother than expected, and it was no worse than this time.

Li Mu didn't give Yu Nan a chance to refuse. He took the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Let's rest today and continue working tomorrow."

We are all insiders here. Even if we don’t know the news, we can tell the truth.

Everyone packed their things quietly.

Liu Yifei comforted her: "Sister Yu Nan, have a good rest!"

"It's okay, I've looked away. I just want to film well now."

Yu Nan smiled and seemed to be looking away.

"Sister Yu Nan is very strong!" Liu Yifei looked at Yu Nan's leaving figure and sighed in a low voice.

"There's no such thing as being strong, it's just a matter of carrying it to death!"

Li Mu believed in his eyes. Yu Nan's tears just now revealed indescribable sadness. This was normal. It was only half a year. How could he let go.

This year's Hong Kong Film Awards was controversial. Just like last year's Golden Horse, the Hong Kong Film Awards took too much care of Hong Kong. Mainland films and co-production films almost failed to win.

This has made mainland directors and actors very dissatisfied, and the Hong Kong Film Awards is the only award that sets regional barriers in terms of entry criteria.

For example, the best director candidate must be a Hong Kong resident holding a Hong Kong permanent resident identity card.
In previous years, mainland films were weak, and major directors tolerated them. However, now the mainland market has become stronger. Even Warner Bros. predicts that in the next ten years, the Chinese film market will become the world's largest box office.

At this time, everyone is not used to this Academy Award.

These judgmental accusations also aroused dissatisfaction from former Academy Awards chairman Wen Jun:

"I have heard many people complaining about how unfair the Academy Awards are, but I want to tell those people, do you understand the original intention of the Academy Awards? This award is originally to recognize and encourage films that have contributed to the development of Hong Kong's film industry. Established by man.

The Hong Kong Film Awards is not set up to cater to all Chinese-language films. It has made its regional characteristics clear from the beginning.What we are facing are the practitioners of Xiangjiang Film. ”.
These remarks aroused heated discussion among people inside and outside the circle.

"It's too arrogant and complacent. Decline is inevitable."

Li Mu shook his head after reading it. Times have changed, and communication and exchanges among the film industry have become an unstoppable trend.

However, Xiangjiang movies are still immersed in the world of the so-called "Oriental Hollywood", and sooner or later they will be abandoned by the times.

You know, time has abandoned you and won’t even say goodbye to you.
Before Liu Yifei and Shu Chang left, they also showed off the last scene of their guest appearance in "Passengers", where the passengers woke up normally.

The two crews continued in an orderly manner.

The two films competing for the May Day slot, "Guan Yunchang" and "Xiu Chun Dao", also have their own promotional styles.

In "Guan Yunchang", Donnie Yen and Jiang Wen are presented. Jiang Wen, the supporting role of Jiang Caocao, is promoted as the protagonist at this time.

"Xiu Chun Dao" shows off the characteristic weapons of the Ming Dynasty. The exquisite costumes and crisp movements also attracted a large number of fans.

In addition, in order to completely build the reputation of "Xiu Chun Dao", "Xiu Chun Dao" will first be previewed in the media screening, and then screened for ten days to build a reputation.

Strive to spread word-of-mouth through the media and audiences before the movie is released.

Before the premiere of "Guan Yunchang", the media reviews of "Xiu Chun Dao" had already come out.

"In an era when martial arts are declining, it is rare to find a masterpiece!"

"The best martial arts movie in recent years!"

"Director Lu Yang's sincere work, Jianghu within the System, a martial arts masterpiece not to be missed!"

It's rare for the media to praise a movie at the same time. It's true that martial arts in recent years has been so bad. "Xiu Chun Dao" came out at the right time.
