Chapter 686 Acting Breakthrough, Media Expectations

"Lost in Thailand" was released at the end of December 2012, and "Journey to the West" was released in the Spring Festival of 12.

The two movies of Xia Hua Film and Television contributed a total of 30 billion box office this year, and "Zodiac" and "Starting Line" made another nearly 26 billion box office. Adding Xia Hua's other films, the total box office has reached 96 billion.

"Starting Line", which was extended for two months, has now accumulated a box office of 14.1 billion, and it should increase a little before it goes offline at the end of the month.

This literary film once again proved Zhou Xia's strong box office appeal, so now "New Detective" is a comedy-action commercial blockbuster with kung fu superstars and popular actresses joining, plus other companies' Lunar New Year blockbusters.

So even if there is only half a month left, the entire industry still feels that it is possible to gain another 20 billion box office. Even if it cannot be achieved, there is absolutely no problem breaking through 250 billion box office.

Zhou Xia breathed a sigh of relief after reading the data file of Miaoyan. Looking out the window at the gray sky and the gloomy weather, he was in a surprisingly good mood.

Behind these data is the huge influence of his little butterfly.

If he remembers correctly, in that time and space, the total national box office in 2013 was more than 216 billion, which did not reach the expected 220 billion. At that time, there were 60 films with a box office of over 2012 million. Even so, compared to 171's 26 billion The total box office also achieved a growth of [-]%.

But it is completely different now. The box office data in recent years is different from the original time and space, and there is obviously a slight increase. Last year's box office exceeded 190 billion!
"Boss, the time is up, the media reporters are already over there ready."

Zhou Xia was recalling these things, and for the influence of this little butterfly, Xiaobai had come in at some point.

"Oh, okay, I'll go right away." Zhou Xia got up, tidied up her suit, and walked out of the office.

The side that Xiaobai mentioned is the convention and exhibition center expanded by the company next to Xiahua Film and Television. Now Xiahua is mainly used for performances, training and other activities.

Walking out of the office, before reaching the elevator, Zhou Xia saw Meina, Sisi, and Yufei waiting for the elevator.

They were all going to promote the film, but Li Lianjie was not there. He attended the premiere and Xia Hua's annual meeting last night. He had other arrangements for the past few days. He would not come back until the film was officially released to participate in the promotion for three days.

Zhou Xia glanced over the three of them, and found that they were all wearing windbreakers, but the insides seemed to be the dresses from last night, and the colors of the windbreakers and dresses matched well, and they looked very unified.

"...Where is this coming from? Don't you have any other clothes?" Zhou Xia frowned and looked at the three of them.

Usually, they basically wear a dress once, unless they really like it, they may wear it more, but most of them are treasured.

But it's really puzzling to wear them in such a continuous manner, which shows that the three of them are very satisfied with their respective looks last night.

After the four of them took the elevator downstairs, they bypassed the gravel road in front of the company, and arrived at the Xiahua Convention and Exhibition Center in less than a minute. When they went up to the auditorium on the second floor, it was already full of reporters from various media.

The venue had also been more formally arranged earlier. There were large movie posters on the stage, as well as promotional materials such as cardboard models of Zhou Xia and others.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I was drunk last night and delayed the original interview. Today I will make up a formal group interview for everyone. I will definitely give you more time and let everyone have a good time."

Zhou Xia, Sisi, Yufei, Mina and others sat on the interview stage, looked at the media mechanism in the audience, picked up the microphone on the table, and said loudly with a little apology.

"it is good."

"Director Zhou is happy!"

Hearing Zhou Xia's sincerity, the media reporters in the audience were all happy to respond to him.

Although the interview was postponed last night, they will get more. They are looking forward to it, and after the screening last night, the word-of-mouth and evaluation of "New Detective" has exploded, and the popularity is already extremely high. It is time to do a more in-depth interview , to attract traffic.

Although it was a group visit, for the sake of order in the venue, someone still hosted it.

Before Zhou Xia and the others came, the host had collected some questions from various media and arranged them in order so that Zhou Xia and the others could answer them conveniently or make preparations.

"The first question is from Xiahua Video Network..." The moment the hostess spoke, all the media in the audience roared with laughter.

Sure enough, he is his own son, and he is absolutely the number one in every interview.

Zhou Xia understood why everyone was laughing, so she couldn't help but smiled, and simply raised her hand and said, "Let's put the last one in Xiahua's video today, and answer the second question first."

Zhou Xia's move immediately drew another round of applause from all the reporters.

The hostess didn't care, Zhou Xia was the boss, so he could do whatever he wanted, so he took out the second question and read: "A question from the movie channel, I want to ask Yu Fei."

When Liu Yufei heard that it was her problem, she hurriedly listened carefully.

"Hi Yufei, the starlet Liu Xian'er you played this time seems to be a silly and sweet person, but in fact has a strong and independent personality, is smart and brave, and can even be called a 'man'.

Not only did she dare to fight back wittily against the supporting actor who took advantage of him, but she also bravely fought against the pervert, and even helped Qin Shan when he was fighting the drug traffickers later.You played this character wonderfully, which left a deep impression on all of us, and let everyone see another side of you.

How did you achieve this? Did you encounter any difficulties during filming? Can you share with us? "

After Liu Yufei listened to the question carefully, a happy look appeared on her innocent face, and she looked even more beautiful.

After she went back last night, she read the comments on Weibo and major movie websites.

This is the second time she has won the praise and love of so many people after portraying the two roles of Ling'er and Wang Yuyan in addition to her roles in "Legend of Sword and Sword 1" and "Dragon Ba Bu".

She cleared her throat, glanced at Zhou Xia, and picked up the microphone: "Thank you, thank you everyone for liking Liu Xianer and affirming my performance this time. Here, I would like to thank Director Zhou Xia. Without him, I would have given this role to you." Give me, and guide me carefully, I will not be so successful in shaping this role.

As for the difficulties encountered during filming, there are really too many. The fighting scenes are all good. I have learned dance, and my body coordination is not bad. The difficulties can be overcome.It's just that there is an emotional scene that is very difficult for me.

v It means that Liu Xian'er has fallen in love with Qin Shan and discovered Qin Shan's identity, but she still pretends to be a fool and doesn't show it. When drug dealers use her as a threat to threaten Qin Shan to lay down his weapons...

That scene had a lot of inner drama, and the psychological conflicts of the characters had to be reflected on multiple levels of emotion. I filmed it twice, and the total number of times was 70 times. It was the first time that my mentality collapsed in so many years.

But after Director Zhou found out that it was useless for me to comfort and enlighten me, he stopped saying more, but patiently let the whole crew accompany me and wait for me to adjust my emotions. pressure.

But in the end, I survived under everyone's expectations and trust. When I finished shooting that scene, I felt great. I felt that I had some kind of breakthrough, and the next shooting really went much smoother. "

Liu Yufei hadn't finished speaking yet, when the reporters in the audience heard her voice choked up slightly and saw that her eyes were moist, they all applauded enthusiastically.

No wonder Liu Yufei's performance has improved so much this time. It turns out that there is such a small story in it.

This is really a good story, and it is worth writing about, especially as many fans and movie fans have long expected Liu Yufei's acting skills to have a breakthrough. If this is the case, then I really look forward to her creating more wonderful characters in the future.
