This director is so innocent.

Chapter 171 Shishi Learns to Swim

The sky was clear and the breeze was gentle.

Seeing Su Jin's surprised expression, Yang Qing couldn't help but ask, "Boss, were you amazed by Shi Shi's acting skills?"

Su Jin didn't say much, only gave a soft "hmm".

Seeing this, Yang Qing's long-suppressed urge to confide in someone finally surfaced.

He gestured excitedly as he said, "I was also very surprised when we were filming just now. I didn't expect Shishi to act so well."

He is very familiar with Liu Shishi's acting skills.

After all, he had worked with her before on "The Coffin in the Mountain," and Liu Shishi back then almost tortured him to death.

Especially when filming scenes involving her eyes, it was incredibly challenging.

Empty and lifeless, dull and lifeless, like a blind person, devoid of any vitality, it barely passed muster by avoiding close-up shots.

This time, Su Jin chose Liu Shishi as the female lead, and everyone thought she was going to suffer again.

However, to everyone's surprise, Liu Shishi's performance this time was exceptionally good, even astonishing.

Especially when filming the scenes where Shen Jiayi likes Ke Jingteng in the latter half, she was completely different, and it was basically done in one take.

This made him fully understand what it meant to play himself.

Holding a bottle of mineral water, Liu Shishi tiptoed up behind Su Jin.

She reached out a small hand and gently patted Su Jin's shoulder, saying with a smile, "Brother Jin, what are you talking about?"

Su Jin glanced up at Liu Shishi, a faint smile appearing on her lips: "We were talking about how good your acting is."

"Really?" Liu Shishi was slightly taken aback, somewhat unable to believe her ears.

"Really, Yang Qing praised you to the skies, saying things like 'a scholar who has been away for three days should be looked at with new eyes.' I had a shallow understanding of you," Su Jin explained with a smile.

"————" Liu Shishi looked at Su Jin suspiciously. If it were just a casual compliment, she would believe it, but such a dramatic compliment was really hard to believe.

Moreover, Su Jin has a criminal record and often lies to her.

"I'm not lying to you, you can ask Yang Qing if you don't believe me."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shishi turned to Yang Qing and asked, "Brother Qing, is what Brother Jin said true?"

"It's true." Yang Qing nodded with a smile.

Liu Shishi was overjoyed to receive confirmation, and her gums were even showing.

After a while, Liu Shishi finally stopped laughing, remembered the water in her hand, and handed it to Su Jin.

At the same time, she turned to look at Yang Qing: "Thank you, Brother Qing."

Yang Qing looked at Liu Shishi with a smile and joked, "Shishi, your thanks are a bit cheap! The boss gets to drink water, but I don't."

Liu Shishi rolled her eyes at Yang Qing and pointed to the bottled water on the table, saying, "Brother Qing, isn't there water right next to you?"

Yang Qing glanced at the bottled water on the table, feeling a little embarrassed, but only a little. After all, being thick-skinned is a basic requirement for a director.

"Uh—this water is expired; it tastes off."

"Or, should I go get it for you now?"

"Forget it, I'm afraid the boss will beat me to death." Yang Qing quickly waved his hand in refusal.

"Get lost," Su Jin said irritably.

"Okay." Yang Qing stood up with a smile, quickly left, and gave the seat to Liu Shishi.

"Brother Jin, can you swim?"

"meeting."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shishi's eyes lit up. She put her hand on Su Jin's chair and excitedly said, "Brother Jin, let's go swimming!"

"Can you?"

"Won't."

"If you can't, why are you swimming?"

"You can!"

"Let's go, Brother Jin." Liu Shishi dragged Su Jin over regardless of whether he wanted to or not.

"Relax, don't stiffen your body."

"Imagine yourself as a fish, a very happy one."

"Don't kick too hard, the splash is too big."

""

As Su Jin spoke, she supported Liu Shishi's abdomen with both hands, making her float on the surface of the water.

I've been teaching for twenty minutes, and I'm a little tired.

I tried letting go of her hands and letting her try it herself. Then I saw her sink down, her hands splashing around in the water.

Seeing this, Su Jin quickly scooped her up.

"Cough cough————"

Liu Shishi coughed violently a few times, looking at Su Jin with a resentful expression.

"Brother Jin, why did you let go? I swallowed several mouthfuls of seawater."

"Hahaha—is the seawater sweet?" Su Jin asked with a wicked sense of humor.

"What do you think?" Liu Shishi rolled her eyes at Su Jin and angrily punched her.

Su Jin dodged Liu Shishi's small fist, but the latter, seeing that she had missed, chased after her to hit her.

Laughter echoed across the entire beach.

Not far away, Luo Jin, Lu Fangsheng, and Qiao Shan sat on the beach smoking, silently watching Su Jin and Liu Shishi.

"Luo Jin, do you think there's a possibility between Su Jin and Shi Shi?" Lu Fangsheng asked.

Hearing this gossip, Qiao Shan immediately perked up her ears to listen. This was firsthand gossip from her classmate Su Jin, guaranteed to be true.

"I don't know, but I think it's quite likely."

Why?

"You've seen Su Jin for so long, and she doesn't even have a girlfriend. I know there's a lot going on here."

"this one?"

"That's it. Don't be fooled by Su Jin's numerous affairs. He treats Shi Shi very well, no matter how many women he's with."

"Then why doesn't he stay with Shishi?"

"I don't know about that."

Three days later, in early July.

The "New Generation Four Little Actresses" event, which lasted for half a month, has come to an end.

Liu Yifei, Huang Shengyi, Wang Luodan, and Yang Mi were selected as the new generation of four little actresses.

-

Although some people disagreed with their selection, they were only a minority, considering that these four were elected by five million people.

Aside from Liu Yifei's fans being somewhat unhappy, the fans of the other three were overjoyed, as this meant their idols were among the top three new generation actresses.

Major authoritative media outlets and magazines reported on this matter, as did CCTV News.

With the support of CCTV News Network, the new generation of four little actresses are gaining more and more recognition.

The four of them even received a raise because of this, and there were many inquiries and offers for GG endorsements.

As for the four leading men, they are Luo Jin, Hu Ge, Du Chun, and Zhu Yuchen.

The heads of Tencent, NetEase, and Sohu Weibo breathed a sigh of relief when the event ended.

During the "Four Little Flowers" campaign, Jianmu's Weibo account had a very high daily active user count. Even though other platforms also started creating content, none of them achieved the same level of popularity as the "Four Little Flowers."

Now that it's over, I can finally start to show my skills.

They were thinking of doing something similar to Jianmu Weibo, like selecting an acting god, the top ten most beautiful faces in China, or the top ten handsome men.

But their joy was short-lived.

Jianmu Weibo has launched a nationwide competition to select the most beautiful campus beauties from universities.

School beauties are naturally eye-catching.

Students from various universities are eager to compete, each declaring that their school's beauty queen is the most beautiful, the best, and the purest.

The competition format is simple: first, each university selects its top ten campus beauties, who then compete with campus beauties from universities across the country.

The one who received the most votes was the most beautiful school beauty in the country.

The media and experts only have the right to make suggestions, not the right to vote or make decisions.

Who is the most beautiful is up to them to decide.

I don't know which bastard did something malicious, but posted photos of the non-mainstream goddess Cheng Lin and Endian on the site.

As a result, these two received far more votes, ranking first and second.

Li Xing, the person in charge of Jianmu Weibo, sent people to investigate and found that the two were not college students, so they had to disqualify them from the competition.

The people below persuaded him otherwise, saying that canceling the award would dampen voters' enthusiasm, and that it would be better to create a special campus beauty award for the two of them.

And you know what? The announcement was met with a lot of praise, with many people saying that Jianmu's Weibo account was very generous.

July 5th, 8:00 AM.

Su Jin's Weibo post ignited the entire internet.

Don't you guys sleep? You stole all my vegetables at 3 AM!

"What happened? Did a thief break into my crush's house?"

"I'd like to know too, but does my crush even grow vegetables?"

"Is there anyone who understands this? Please explain."

Before they could figure it out, Fan Xiaopang posted a Weibo message: "It wasn't me, my vegetables were stolen too."

Immediately afterwards, Huang Xiaoming also posted a Weibo message: "It wasn't me either. Some kind person just gave me a Weibo membership to speed up my cooking."

Da Meiyuan posted on Weibo: "Su Jin, don't cry wolf, did you steal my vegetables?"

Later, big stars such as Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Liu Shishi, Luo Jin, Zhou Xun, and Asa joined in.

At this point, everyone understood that they were playing a game called "Weibo Farm".

After clicking in, they took a look and thought it was very simple and not very interesting, so they just planted a few vegetables.

After they finished their work, they felt bored and suddenly remembered the vegetables they had planted. When they clicked on them, they found that the vegetables had been stolen.

This is outrageous! I may find it boring, but you can't steal it!

So they decided to steal other people's vegetables.

This act of stealing had no consequences; he became completely addicted.

Stealing at work, stealing after get off work, stealing while sleeping, stealing even when setting the alarm clock —

Weibo Farm and QQ Farm have the same gameplay, including levels, coins, black soil, purple soil, and so on.

The level of popularity is the same.

In just one week, it became a nationwide phenomenon, and for many people, the first question they asked each day was no longer "Have you eaten?" but "Did you steal it?"

Due to the popularity of the farm game, Jianmu Weibo saw a surge of 500 million registered users, bringing its total user base to over 7000 million.

Currently, the number of registered users is increasing by 1 million every day, and it is believed that breaking 100 million registered users this year will not be a problem.

Not only did the number of users surge, but the number of Weibo members also increased from 500,000 to 5 million.

Because members get a built-in speed-up for planting crops, and also a protective shield to prevent others from stealing their crops.

Tencent Weibo currently has over 2000 million registered users due to traffic drawn from QQ, but its activity level is low, with only 300 million daily active users.

Sohu Weibo doesn't have QQ's killer feature, nor does it have the first-mover advantage, and it doesn't know how to create engaging content, but it has money!

Zhang Chaoyang even took matters into his own hands, living on Sohu Weibo every day to teach everyone physics.

The number of registered users is currently 1230 million.

NetEase Weibo, on the other hand, failed. It didn't spend money or create any interesting content, and it still couldn't break through the 10 million registered user mark.

7 month 10 number.

Directed by Wu Baige and costing US$8500 million, the film "Red Cliff Part I," featuring a star-studded cast from mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, has been released.

The previous propaganda campaign covered land, sea, and air.

GG was played on all flights of seven airlines, and also on the national train website and in ticket offices selling train tickets.

Cars are playing trailers, subways are showing previews and clips, and there are even roadside light boxes with flattened displays. CCTV and local TV stations are completely doomed.

This is the biggest ever Chinese film; even Zhang Yimou didn't achieve something this big.

More than 1400 copies were made using film and digital printing, with a screening rate of 80%.

Hollywood blockbusters like "Hancock" and "Kung Fu Panda" made way for "Red Cliff Part I".

During the preview screenings, to prevent piracy, checks were extremely strict; no one was allowed in without an invitation, and mobile phones and other electronic devices were prohibited.

At an internal distribution meeting of China Film Group, Han Sanping passionately declared: "We must mobilize the entire nation to make 'The Promise' a success!"

The issuance work.

Yes, you read that right, it's "The Promise".

Zuo Shandiao was too excited and made a slip of the tongue.

Thank goodness it was an internal meeting, otherwise people would have laughed themselves to death.

Previously, at a work meeting, Zuo Shandiao (a famous bandit leader) announced that the total box office revenue of Chinese-language films this year should exceed 50 billion yuan.

Few people believe this goal, considering that the total box office revenue for Chinese-language films last year was only 33.27 billion yuan.

Although the total box office revenue of Chinese-language films is increasing at a rate of 10% per year, this target is indeed a bit outrageous.

Therefore, Zuo Shandiao attached great importance to "Red Cliff" and did not hesitate to split it into two parts.

"Red Cliff Part I" did not disappoint the great importance that the bandit leader, Zuo Shandiao, placed on it.

It grossed 2700 million yuan on its opening day, breaking the record of 2247 million yuan set by "Transformers".

When faced with the record-breaking opening day box office, Zuo Shandiao said, "This is not only the result of marketing planning, but also a signal of the upgrading of Chinese cultural consumption."

"This is a sign that the Chinese film industry is maturing and going global, and it also shows that the development and growth of Chinese films is closely related to the continuous strengthening of China's national power."

The box office hit a new record high on the second day, reaching 2900 million, and 2800 million on the third day.

The box office exceeded 100 million yuan in its opening weekend – 1.08 million yuan.

In other regions, Hong Kong Island grossed HK$1059 million over its opening weekend, becoming the top-grossing region for the week.

The film grossed $246 million in Taiwan and $80 million in South Korea with 560 viewers.

The film "Wu Shima" has not been released yet; it will be released in November.

Unlike its box office success, "Red Cliff Part I" received extremely poor reviews, with a Douban rating of 6.3.

"Mengmeng, just fan it and it'll be done... I think these cringeworthy lines are all intentional, look at how smug Zhang Cao Cao is on Hunan TV... But seriously, without these lines, what's the point of watching..."

"The pacing was a complete mess, the scenes were a complete mess, everything was a complete mess. They probably didn't even figure out how to fight at Red Cliff."

"Few epic blockbusters costing $8500 million have made us laugh."

"The Promise is a bloodbath caused by a steamed bun, while Red Cliff is a bloodbath caused by a woman. It's hard to imagine that Cao Mengde, with his overwhelming ambition and heroic temperament, would attack Jiangdong because of a woman."

"After reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms for so many years, this is the first time I've learned that Zhuge Liang was a veterinarian."

"In recent years, the only thing that can rival Guo Degang's crosstalk is Chinese blockbusters."

C

The most common complaint is about the dialogue.

Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang, "The journey to Eastern Wu is long, so please eat well!"

Cao Cao responded to the doctor's remark: "Desire can make me young!"

Zhao Zhetian's line: "Even a woman has a responsibility."

Zhou Yu: "I haven't been this agitated in a long time."

Of course, we can't forget Lin Chi-ling's sweet voice calling out, "Mengmeng, stand up!"

Overall, aside from the plot and dialogue, the props, weapons, armor, soundtrack, fight scenes, and overall quality of the film are quite good.
