Became the best actor, the system just finished loading

Chapter 259 I'm a face control (asking for monthly tickets)
2009 ends and 2010 begins.

After returning from Tianjin, it was already January.

This year's film market got off to a flying start, with James Cameron's new movie "Avatar" taking the world by storm.

It was released in mainland China on January 1th. Since its release, it has been like a "crazy money printing machine", breaking the first-week box office records of major cinemas.

In its first week of release, the box office in mainland China reached 4020 million US dollars, equivalent to 2.7 million yuan, which was the best first week performance of the film in all overseas markets.

While everyone was thinking about hitting a box office of 5 million, others were already heading for 10 billion.

Industry insiders attribute its success to its revolutionary 3D technology.

The 3D photography system and motion capture technology independently developed by Cameron's team perfectly combine virtual and reality, bringing an unprecedented immersive experience to the audience.

Every leaf and every luminous creature on the planet Pandora is lifelike, as if we are really in that alien world.

Technological breakthroughs have not only changed the way movies are presented, but also changed the audience's aesthetic expectations.

With the huge popularity of the IMAX version of "Avatar", cinemas have seen the box office prospects of this type of special film, and have become more confident in investing in the construction of IMAX theaters.

Qi Hao has encouraged everyone in the "Rise of Chinese Comics" group many times.

The market is there, and we must also aim for 10 billion votes.

With the example of "Avatar", the Eight Vajras in the rise of Chinese animation were also inspired and excited.

Even Zhang Chenyu from the special effects company was encouraged.

This is the real level of special effects, and it is the direction that Poltergeist Studio should strive for.

Wang Chuan worked even harder to make "Kuiba".

However, he also knows that no matter how "Kuiba" is reduced, as an original animation, the threshold for watching the movie is still there.

There are too many settings that need to be thrown out, which will inevitably dilute the plot.

The plot is unlikely to be very interesting.

In addition to the special effects, the plot of "Avatar" is also pretty good.

It’s just that most Hollywood movies are the same. They are openly labeled as anti-war movies, but secretly whitewashing their own wars of aggression.

The film upholds the cultural banner of glorifying Western colonialism, and the characters in the plot all think they have advanced systems and culture, and then appear as saviors.

Recalling the time when American colonists appeared in the indigenous kingdoms of the New World, they claimed to be bringing advanced technology and human fraternity and teaching the "uncivilized" barbarians.

In addition to the main storyline, there is also a "heavy-taste" love line, in which a young man from a different race or even a different planet defeats a group of local young people and wins the love of the princess.

This kind of plot that glorifies invaders had been filmed by the Americans for decades before the appearance of Avatar, except that the heroine was changed from Indians to Na'vi, and even various variations were used.

For example, in the well-known movie "Forrest Gump", a black comrade was killed by Vietnamese soldiers. In order to fulfill his comrade's last wish, Forrest Gump went shrimp fishing in a storm. This plot touched countless young Chinese people, and the Vietnamese naturally became the villains in the movie, and were even hated by a large number of fans.

In the "Rise of Chinese Comics" group, many issues related to cultural output were discussed.

Although everyone expressed their opinions, there was no conclusion.

Today's Chinese films are not qualified to express their opinions at all.

People haven't even figured out their own point of view, and a lot of them are still acting as lackeys of foreign forces for international awards or funding from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

All I can say is that we still have a long way to go.

With the success of "Avatar", its screening schedule has continued to increase, while domestic films have been in dire straits during the same period.

However, this is not a bad thing.

There is motivation only when there is pressure. Only when good movies come out can we be inspired to make better movies.

If they really just keep it to themselves, these investors will just treat the audience as fools.

Qi Hao was very glad that the movie was not scheduled for the New Year's Day period.

However, several movies released in December were a bit miserable. They were completely unable to withstand the impact of "Avatar".

"刺陵", which cost hundreds of millions of dollars to invest, doesn't even have the hope of making over 100 million at the box office. Whether there's "Avatar" or not, it doesn't have the hope of making over 100 million at the box office. Even Jay Chou can't save this bad movie.

Of course, he also contributed to the bad movies.

"Storm Warriors 2" also performed very poorly. Even if the mainland and Hong Kong box office were combined, it would not be able to exceed million.

However, the film crew did something tricky.

Just one week after its release, they started celebrating the movie's box office revenue of over 100 million.

The producers, Universe Films and Orange Sky Golden Harvest, spent 15 to set up 19 tables at the Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel to entertain the main creators and media from both the front and back of the stage.

The celebratory banquet was carefully planned, and the names of the dishes were all creative and contained a lot of "wind and cloud" elements.

The ten dishes on the menu are "The Wind Rises and the Clouds Meet the (Suckling) Pig King", "The Swords Return to the Origin" (Chinese) style golden sauce Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix, "The Immortal Golden Body" (Fresh) Fried Shrimp Balls, "The Wind and Clouds Pay a Visit to the (Stewed) Evil King's Gift (Wings of the Wings), "Bu Jingyun Steamed Grouper with Legs", "The Best Swordsman" (Fried) Chicken, "Nie Feng Dry-fried Yi Noodles with Demonic Fish Sauce", "Nameless Fire" Fried Rice Fruit, "Embroidered Pudding" and "Two Dreams on the Same Stage".

Hong Kong people are also very good at marketing.

It’s just that they now always think that people in the mainland are stupid and have a lot of money, and they especially like to bring bad movies to the mainland to make money, so no one is concentrating on making movies anymore.

Only "The Besieged City" had a decent box office.

The box office has now exceeded 2.5 million, and there is no problem in reaching 3 million.

If it weren't for the amazing box office of "Avatar", it wouldn't be impossible for "The Siege of the City" to hit 3.5 million.

The total investment for this film is 1.2 million yuan. If it can get 3 million yuan at the box office in mainland China, the film will not be considered a loss.

After all, the film will also be released in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Bangbang and other places.

There is also added value such as audio-visual products.

It's really a lucky thing that three movies invested by Feiyang Media have been released so far.

"Let's See" starred top idol Qi Hao at a low salary, and the box office was surprisingly good.

"The Piano in a Factory" earned enough sympathy points because Lu Yu pulled down Qi Hao, and not only did it not lose money, it actually made money. Now "The Besieged City" is not losing money either.

It makes people feel particularly lucky.

Some people even attributed the credit to the Taoist priest Suiyun's shaman dance at the opening ceremony.

There was actually a film crew that invited him to perform a ritual at the opening ceremony.

The fake Taoist priest didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He is a serious Taoist priest, so how could he easily trouble the ancestor to appear in person, especially for such a small matter as blessing the box office to be a big hit.

However, he finally took his junior fellow apprentice with him.

There's nothing I can do, they gave me a bit too much.

The road down the mountain from their Taoist temple should be repaired. If not, they may not be able to earn any more money from incense offerings.

Qi Hao officially joined the crew of "Hello! Mr. Tree" on January 1th.

The opening ceremony was relatively simple. It was a low-budget movie, and the only famous star was Qi Hao.

An Feng made a guest appearance in the movie, playing a young nurse.

However, under Qi Hao's insistence, he still invited the fake Taoist priest to perform swordplay.

The first three movies made money.

How did they make money? Although Qi Hao could analyze it in an orderly manner, but when it comes to metaphysics, it is better to believe it than not. What if there is really the protection of the Taoist ancestor?

Anyway, I am already very familiar with the fake Taoist priest.

At worst, you can just invite him to go to the local foot bath city to wash off the dust.

Qi Hao was putting on makeup and styling his hair while An Feng was sitting beside him watching.

Although she was only a guest star, she had the right to join the crew and watch the fun.

She was very curious about what Qi Hao played this time.

Not only did Qi Hao lose 30 kilograms, he also often basked in the sun.

These days he doesn't even shave.

"Teacher Qi Hao, although you have become a little darker, it is still far from the requirement, so you must paint all the exposed parts black, as well as the texture of the skin... In comparison, the hairstyle is the simplest."

The makeup artist talked while working.

Qi Hao helplessly let the two makeup artists apply things on his body.

What should I do if there is a huge gap between myself and the character image?
Qi Hao asked the Thousand Faces Movie King Liang Jiahui, and Liang Jiahui answered very easily at that time - put on makeup!
He strongly supports Qi Hao playing Mr. Tree.

If you only play roles that suit you, you may never reach the pinnacle of acting in your entire life.

Only by playing a role that is different from yourself can you truly hone your acting skills.

Others, such as Ge You, Li Xuejian and others, also agreed with his point of view. They all agreed that for Qi Hao, who has already won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor, it is very necessary to challenge some roles that can subvert the audience's cognition.

Ugly men, old men, reckless men, disabled people, eunuchs, sissy men, and even women.

Anyway, you can try to challenge any role that is different from your personal image.

Don't be afraid of being scolded.

Everyone has roles that they haven’t interpreted well, you just have to learn from your mistakes and do better next time.

Of course, if possible, it is better to do more NGs on the set, and to perform as well as possible in front of the audience.

Qi Hao is now playing Mr. Shu, which is a challenge.

However, the first step of putting on makeup is very frustrating, not just the skin color.

The makeup artist even designed a lot of spots and lines on Qi Hao's face...

An Feng watched as Qi Hao visibly changed into a different person, which reminded her of the beggars or old farmers she met in daily life.

Make an ugly appearance?

This isn't just about making yourself ugly, it's nightmare-level plastic surgery.

If Qi Hao looked like this, would I still like him?
An Feng realized with shame that she was a face control. If Qi Hao really looked like this, no matter how talented Qi Hao was or how much they could understand each other, she would probably not be with Qi Hao.

"I'm just wearing makeup, why are you acting like I'm dying?"

While the makeup artist was out preparing paint, Qi Hao asked An Feng with a smile.

An Feng's expression was so confusing that it was hard for Qi Hao to ignore it. He was very curious about what she was thinking.

"that is……"

An Feng spoke frankly about what he was thinking, and expressed frustration that he was superficial and a complete face-obsessed person.

"Haha, this shows that I'm still pretty handsome, right?"

Qi Hao didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

If An Feng grew up to be like Li Yuchun, Qi Hao would most likely not like her, no matter how beautiful her heart was.

Qi Hao was very curious about when Li Yuchun's fans went blind.

Some people say that it was foreign forces that helped to buy so many internet trolls to help set the pace in order to distort the aesthetic taste of the Chinese people.

Come to think of it, it's really possible.

Make your men less like men and your women less like women.

There will definitely be more and more contradictions.
