Light and shadow player

All the movies released at the same time as "American Team 3" are old wretches.

Therefore, "Mei Team 3" has no movies released in the top four and bottom five in China.

Who is that old hapless bastard?
It is "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix".

The first day of "American Team 3" was 1.99 million, ranking fourth among imported films. "Hundred Birds in the Phoenix" only had 2% of the first-day lineup, earning 20.

Really miserable.

This movie speaks volumes.

The posthumous work of the fourth-generation famous director Wu Tianming was completed in 14, but due to lack of funds, no publisher was willing to take over. Now it can be released, all thanks to the voluntary publicity and distribution of a group of volunteers.

On the 12th, Fang Li, the person in charge of the voluntary publicity and distribution party of "Hundred Birds in the Phoenix", appeared on a live broadcast platform and called on the theater managers to increase the film schedule. Speaking of excitement, a sad scene appeared. Fang Li kowtowed and cried in the video, Said, "I hope everyone can recommend "Hundred Birds in the Phoenix" on Weibo and Moments."

"As long as you (the theater manager) can arrange a golden show for us this weekend, my old Fang is willing to kneel down for you."

Fang Li's kneeling caused a huge discussion.

Some said he was genuine, some said he was ashamed, and some said he was sorry for Wu Daoyingling.

But it was precisely because of his kneeling that the filming of "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" rose from 2% to 8.8%.

The single-day box office also rose to 900 million.

Cheng Yu'an had come into contact with Fang Li before, and the two chatted for a while at the symposium. This old man has a personality and dares to speak and act.

Based on Cheng Yu'an's understanding of Fang Li, this kneeling should be the top performance of the live broadcast at that time. The blood rushed up and he couldn't control it. It was not "planning" or "marketing" as the outside world said.

Wu Tianming is the mentor of Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Tian Zhuang and others. They were all brought out by Wu Tianming in the West Film Studio. Therefore, before the release of "Hundred Birds in the Phoenix", Chen and Zhang volunteered to help publicize, Zhang Yimou booked the show at his own expense, and invited relatives and friends to watch the movie.

Li An recorded a video, reminiscing about the meeting with Wu Tianming in New York, and hoped that everyone would support "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix".

Big names in the industry such as Jiang Zhiqiang and Yu Dong also volunteered to publicize.

But the results are minimal.

Now that the show is underway, Cheng Yu'an specially posted a Weibo to talk about "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix":
"When I went back to my hometown in Sanqin in 12, I had the honor to meet Director Wu Tianming. Teacher Wu has a bit of a fierce face, but he is actually a very talkative and interesting old man. We drank tea in a teahouse. We thought that as a senior, he would Say some encouraging words to me, such as Xiaocheng, please work hard, don’t be proud, and work hard. But Mr. Wu heard that I was not in Sanqin since I was a child, so he introduced to me the customs of Sanqin, where it is delicious, Where is it fun. I still remember him telling me with a strong Sanqin accent: "What's so good about the rotten Big Wild Goose Pagoda? No one in Sanqin will see it." That afternoon, Teacher Wu chatted with me like this, and we didn't say anything A sentence about movies, old and young, is such nonsense."

"Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, Mr. Wu hastily returned to Daoshan, leaving behind "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix". It is a pity that such an excellent movie has not been released until now. All I can do is try my best to promote and encourage Friends and relatives around me go to see such a movie."

"So, I decided to hold a show of "Hundred Birds in the Phoenix" every night in the Golden Harvest Cinemas in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and invite lucky audiences to watch it for free for a week. This is what I can do. To that funny old man The spirit in heaven. Thank you."

After Cheng Yu'an's Weibo was posted, it still did not bring visible heat to the film.

After all, it is a literary film, and it was released at the same time as "American Team 3", so it is quite normal for the market to be squeezed.

As Cheng Yu'an said at the end of Weibo, he posted this Weibo spontaneously to promote the movie to commemorate director Wu Tianming, not because the movie "Hundred Birds in the Phoenix" is really that good.

In fact, leaving director Wu aside, Cheng Yu'an can still pick out mistakes just by watching this movie. This kind of mistake is not the kind of nitpicking, but the fault of Wu Tianming's backward technique.

I won't talk about it here.

But this does not affect "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" as "excellent".

But manpower is still no match for the objective market laws. Although "half the entertainment circle" spontaneously promotes the film, the performance of "Hundred Birds in the Phoenix" still hasn't seen much improvement.

Some viewers even said, "I wanted to see this movie recommended by so many celebrities, but once Fang Li knelt down, I didn't want to watch it!"

"Fang Li's kneeling made him perfect, and he got used to movies."

Cheng Yu'an still doesn't care what the outside world thinks in the crew, no matter how "American Team 3" ravages the market, he only focuses on making his own scenes.

Today's filming is about Liu Qi and Han Duoduo being arrested for stealing a car, and grandpa Han Ziang came to fish for someone.

"Uncle Da, are you OK?" Uncle Da put on his clothes and waited aside.

Uncle Da said: "It's time to start."

"3 2 1, power on!" The executive director shouted.

Han Ziang walks towards the prison guard at the supply station with a smile on his face - played by Cheng Chuang.

"Hehehe, little brother," Han Ziang took out a drink of aged earthworms and handed it over, "My grandson is a mechanic, and he just wants to touch a real car. Can you accommodate me?"

The prison guard reached out to stop Han Ziang from sending up the dried earthworms: "Hey, the delivery vehicle is valuable public property. It is also a serious violation for you to lend the vehicle card without permission."

Another prison guard sent up a document at this time, and both of them looked at it.

Han Ziang put down the old earthworms, and reluctantly took out another gift from his bag, which was his treasure.

"Oh, this is a good thing. The girls I have saved for 50 years are all in it." What Han Ziang took out was a box of VR eye suits with resources.

The prison guard was obviously interested, and opened the box to take a look inside. Some of them looked up at Han Ziang who was smiling: "Okay!"

Han Ziang smiled even more happily.

The prison guard leaned back in his chair: "I'll do this again."

"Crack!"

Cheng Yu'an stopped: "It's over! Brother Chuang and Uncle Da are really good." Cheng Yu'an did not hesitate to praise.

But when he turned his head, it was not human words: "Those who don't know think you two are veterans of bribery!"

"You will be beaten to death sooner or later when you go out." After getting acquainted with each other, Uncle Da is not polite anymore.

Cheng Yu'an went on to say, "Let's keep one more, Brother Chuang."

"Hey, no problem." Cheng Chuang replied.

According to the plan, after Wu Jing's filming, all the indoor scenes will be filmed in May, and then the film will be turned outdoors (outdoor in the film).

Cheng Yu'an saved two more, and only then let a few actors go to film the next scene.

Then the scene was filming, and suddenly news came from the outside world: Ziwei Gege took the white tofu, and the two got married!
The audience didn't react, how did these two get together?I haven't heard the news before!

Why did you suddenly announce your marriage?
But only people in the industry know what's going on with these two.

Bai Doufu has a good image in the eyes of the audience, but in the circle... who doesn't know.

As for how the two came together.

What Cheng Yuan thought was: "These two are a good pair, I wish them a long life."
