HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 177 [177] The movie was released, and the audience was thrilled. It was a masterpiece of violent aesthetics!

Sign Li Bingbing.

Qi Yuan was happy.

Li Bingbing is the oldest among the "Four Dan and Two Bing" (referring to four top actresses and two top actresses in China). In her previous life, she became famous very late. She only started to emerge and become known to the audience after starring in "Young Justice Bao".

After reaching the peak of her career with "A World Without Thieves", "Water Clouds and Clouds", and "The Message", she was approaching forty.

If she had become famous a few years earlier, her commercial value would have been even higher.

Qi Yuanting admires Li Bingbing; Li Bingbing is hardworking, dedicated, and has good acting skills.

Li Bingbing has won all the major awards, including the Huabiao Award for Outstanding Actress, the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress, and the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress.

She competed against Zhou Xun at the Golden Horse Awards and ultimately defeated her, which is a very prestigious achievement.

With the sisters working together, they are definitely a cash cow for Qi Yuan.

Moreover, Li Bingbing arrived at just the right time.

The role of the female lead in "Love Like a Bouquet" is quite demanding in terms of acting skills. The actress who played the female lead in the original version won the Best Actress Award at the Japan Academy Film Prize for this role.

This award is known as the "Oscars of Japan" by the Japanese and is one of the most authoritative and influential film awards in Japan.

Fan Xiaopang's acting skills are too immature; she can't handle this role right now.

Needless to say, Gao Yuanyuan has both acting skills and good looks, making her far superior to Fan Xiaopang.

Fan Xiaopang does have some talent and is willing to work hard. After accumulating some experience, she can perform at a very good level.

Fan Xiaopang gives people the impression of having no acting skills, which is related to the fact that she takes on any role she wants. At her worst, she had seven movies in one year, plus TV series and a lot of commercials.

With so many acting roles, I often had to rush from one production to another, leaving me no time to understand the characters and forcing me to resort to formulaic acting methods.

She put a lot of effort into her performances in films like "Cellphone" and "I Am Not Madame Bovary," and she acted very well.

In the group of "Four Dan and Two Bing" (referring to four actresses and two actresses from different regions), there was not a single weakling. They all fought their way up in fierce competition, and their professional skills far surpassed those of the later young actresses.

Li Bingbing joined Xingyuan, and Qiyuan plans to poach some agents.

This will be implemented once we return to the mainland.

……

night.

The Frozen sisters are reunited, sleeping in the same bed as they used to in their hometown.

Li Bingbing quickly accepted her new role as a member of Star Wish Studio.

She knew that hanging out with Li Xue at Xingyuan would be more promising than hanging out with Wang Jinghua, but Wang Jinghua treated her very well, and she couldn't bear to betray Wang Jinghua.

Wang Jinghua's decision to release the person saved her a lot of trouble.

Now that the two sisters are both affiliated with StarWish, it's only natural that they would try to acquire StarWish's resources.

Li Bingbing asked Li Xue which roles in the drama "The Little Fish and the Flower Without Flaws" were still undecided and that she could try to get.

She's 26 years old, which isn't young for an actress, and she's eager to improve.

Many actresses start playing mothers by the time they're 35; they can't wait, they want to be famous.

"This drama has two male leads and two female leads. There are only two female artists in total, so you'll definitely be one of them. Don't worry. I haven't seen the full script yet. Once I get the script, I'll decide which role I can help you get."

Li Xue is very opinionated, and her judgment is much better than Li Bingbing's.

In almost all of Li Bingbing's important works throughout her career, Li Xue read the scripts first before letting her accept the roles.

This level of professional skill would make even those artists who rely on family members as their agents shed tears of envy.

Friday, May 21, 6 p.m.

This is the date when "The Mission" was officially released in Hong Kong.

The reviews from Chen Kaige, Zhang Guorong, Wang Jing, Liu Dehua, and others prompted Milkyway Image to pay Hong Kong media to start promoting the film.

Hong Kong is a small place, so half a day is enough time for the news to spread throughout the entire city.

Many Hong Kong people know that a movie called "The Mission" is about to be released, starring the handsome young man who sang "Too Late to Love" and "Next Year Today".

Even renowned director Chen Kaige, who made "Farewell My Concubine," praised it, which piqued the interest of many Hong Kong people.

In addition, Qi Yuan already had a large number of die-hard fans, and many cinemas showing "The Mission" became very popular. Some people couldn't get tickets for good time slots and were prepared to watch the midnight showing.

Qi Yuan, along with Li Xue and Li Bingbing, came to support their film immediately.

He owns 20% of the film, and he relies on it to make money.

Wearing a mask and a baseball cap, Qi Yuan glanced around the dimly lit screening room and was relieved to find that all the good seats were occupied; his fans were still willing to pay for his films.

Another group of people who were dressed up to watch the movie were a bit envious.

"Why aren't there as many people watching my movie?" Nicholas Tse asked, somewhat unconvinced.

His films "Young and Dangerous" and "Half a Cigarette" didn't have this many audience members on their opening nights, so why does Qi Yuan have such an audience?
"It's not surprising that they can attract a group of viewers in the early stages if they can get a big director like Chen Kaige to endorse them."

Huo Wenxi was a little envious. How come Qi Yuan succeeded in whatever he did?

Although Nicholas Tse has many fans, far fewer fans are willing to buy his products than Qi Yuan. So, where exactly does Nicholas Tse fall short of Qi Yuan?
She could only console herself that Qi Yuan's prosperity was all an illusion. If he didn't act well, those who supported him now would turn around and criticize him.

After the movie started, the entire screening room fell silent, and as Lin Xue appeared on stage, the plot slowly unfolded.

The simple story of five gunmen protecting a gang leader showed audiences in theaters what true brotherhood in the underworld really means.

The five-man team in the shopping mall, positioned like precise gears, engaged in a gunfight at the elevator entrance and next to a pillar, a true clash of masters. Both the five-man team and the opposing assassin were highly professional, and the meticulously crafted scenes, though not a single shot was fired, still managed to create a sense of tension for the audience.

The kicking of the paper ball, the five-person group smoking, and the ending all brought a knowing smile to the faces of the male audience members.

This film is a testament to male romance and a pinnacle of Hong Kong cinema's violent aesthetics.

After watching this movie, Nicholas Tse, Mani Fok, and many audience members had a question.

Is this a movie that cost 500 million to make?

Can a film made with only 500 million dollars produce a movie that uses stillness to control movement, showcases the coldness and warmth of the underworld, and features such clean and crisp gunfights with a strong sense of violent aesthetics? Are you kidding me?

In the most classic mall shootout, Nicholas Tse fully immersed himself in the character of A Lai, played by Qi Yuan.

So cool! The action of drawing the gun was so decisive. The horse stance he took highlighted his long legs and the advantages of his figure. It was a pleasure to watch.

He was frustrated. Why was Qi Yuan able to act so well in his first movie?
It's really hard to feel this kind of complete suppression.

He felt like he had nowhere left to retreat. If he retreated any further, he would have to compete with Qi Yuan in cooking... Could it be that Qi Yuan's cooking skills were also very good?
Qi Yuan watched "The Mission" yesterday, but today he didn't focus all his energy on the big screen; he spent the whole time observing the audience's reaction.

When scenes like Linghu Chong beating Hu Chong, asking if his sister-in-law ever seduced him, or kicking a paper ball appear, the audience will laugh.

Once the gunfights begin, the audience can't help but gasp in amazement!

Having observed these things, Qi Yuan knew that everything was absolutely secure.

The next day, Du Qifeng told him the box office data for the first day, and he knew that "The Mission," his debut film, was really going to be a hit.
