Chapter 772 Passed, blown
Soon.

The celebrity who reposted "I like it" the day before was deleted early the next morning on Weibo, and the comments of celebrities who said "I like" under Wang Sunjing's Weibo were also deleted.

As if nothing happened.

However, the word-of-mouth of "The Ferryman" fell even more severely because of this incident of standing in line.

In the second week of its release, it was actually met with small-scale boycotts from netizens.

"If you all say you like it, I won't watch it!"

The lineup of "The Ferryman" was cut in half on the first day of the new week, and only 10% of the film came out.

Most of the films that were cut went to "Northwest 2", and a small part was divided by films such as "Railway Flying Tiger".

Liu Yifei is still running a promotional interview for "Northwest 2".

She sat in front of the movie poster, and the reporter chatted with her.

Of course, I asked about her opinion on the Star Team incident.

"I don't think there is anything to talk about. Whether ordinary audiences or actors or stars, they all have the right to express their opinions on a movie. Respect everyone's right to comment on movies." Liu Yifei has become slick when dealing with reporters. Woke up.

But the reporter obviously didn't want to hear what she said, and wanted her to make it clear: "Then do you like the movie "The Ferryman"?"

"Huh? I haven't seen it yet." Liu Yifei laughed.

The crew outside the camera reminded the reporter: "May I ask some questions about our movie?"

The reporter pulled back the content of the interview to "Northwest 2", looked at Liu Yifei's long hair fluttering on the poster behind him, and asked, "I want to ask why your hair is so smooth."

Liu Yifei also turned her head to look at the poster, and replied: "Oh, this is a wig." Then she explained with a smile: "My hair was not so long when I was filming this movie."

Before filming "North West 2", she had just finished filming "John Wick 2", and her hair hadn't grown back yet.

Liu Yifei went on to say: "I'm very lazy, and I don't pay much attention to beauty and law protection."

"Teacher Cheng often talks about me at home," said Cheng Yu'an, "Look at you, you look like a female star?"

"Isn't Yifei like this in private?" the reporter asked.

"Who is the same as in front of the camera in private, so tired." Liu Yifei said.

Back to the movie, the reporter said: "You and Mr. Cheng are a model couple in the industry. If you act in a couple emotional drama like "North West 2", will you worry that the audience won't be able to get involved?"

"Don't worry, hehe." Liu Yifei laughed, "I'm already an old couple, so what's the point of acting in an intimate scene?"

The reporter was about to die on the spot, this sister didn't follow the rules at all.

But it’s okay, Liu Yifei answered like this, the interview video must have a high number of hits.

"Next is the question from the netizens."

"Okay." Liu Yifei took the microphone and sat down.

"I took a look at these questions, and the netizens are very interesting. First, Yifei hasn't acted in a costume drama for a long time, and we still want to see you in a costume. Liu Yifei should step down from the altar, the world needs your beauty."

Liu Yifei suppressed a smile and said, "It's over, it's over." After finishing speaking, she raised her eyebrows, "Hehe."

"Does Yifei have any plans to play an ancient costume again?" The reporter still brought the question back.

"Actually, I didn't say I wouldn't act in ancient costumes, but now no one asks me to act in ancient costumes, which is very strange."

"Okay, the next question." The reporter continued to ask, and specifically picked a question that is closely related to the movie, ""Northwest 2" talked about the relationship crisis between husband and wife. May I ask Yifei, in real life, what will you do? How to deal with these problems."

"Our family is okay, there is no emotional crisis." Liu Yifei thought for a while and replied.

"Then Yifei and Teacher Cheng are usually at home, will there be conflicts and quarrels?" the reporter asked.

"Yes, this is." There is no couple who does not quarrel.

"Then how do you all deal with it?" Back to the question again.

"I think the answer has already been given in our movie," Liu Yifei, as the leading actor, still tried his best to bring the words to the movie, "Wen Jiajia and Hao Zhi quarreled and would have a cold war, but the emotions have passed, please be considerate. Give each other a step and go down."

"But I think it's normal for a husband and wife to have conflicts and emotions, but it's best not to have a cold war. The cold war is really hurtful. Husband and wife should communicate more, communicate more, and just talk about it." Liu Yifei as People who have experienced it, impart experience to audiences who are not married or in love.

"Okay, thank you Yifei for accepting our interview, and I wish the movie a big hit at the box office." The reporter shook hands with Liu Yifei to say goodbye.

In Beijing, Cheng Yu'an has been meeting for a week.

Either in the company or outside.

On this day, as soon as Cheng Yu'an came back, he was blocked by several directors and vice presidents of the company's production department.

"How? What did the leader say?"

Cheng Yu'an went to the center for a meeting early this morning.

"How can I say it, of course I won it!" Cheng Yu'an said happily.

Remote has been very active in embracing the main theme, and has been trying to use commercial means to make the main theme movies that audiences love to watch.

But the leading department has always been distrustful of this kind of attempt. It’s not that they haven’t tried it before, such as "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", but it was only preserved by compulsory administrative orders; "The Founding of the Party" was not protected by administrative means. Didn't the box office hit the street?
But the popularity of "Operation Mekong" this year made the leadership see the reliability of this attempt.

So I decided to do it again. After more than a month of discussion, the leaders decided to adopt a remote solution—adapting the Yemen evacuation incident.

Cheng Yuan's meeting today is to listen to opinions.

In fact, even if the leadership department does not participate, the movie will be shot remotely, but there is an extra layer of affirmation and endorsement from the leadership, which is somewhat safer and more convenient.

"Hurry up to organize actor training, and it will start in March and April next year." Cheng Yu'an made arrangements, "Don't choose, send invitations directly, love acting, don't like acting, get out." There is really not much time left for "OPERATION RED SEA".

"When does the leader ask for a release?"

"I said I wanted to be on the first day of the 18 New Year's Eve."

"That won't work!" The company staff strongly objected, "We just finished booking "Tang Detective 2" on the first day of the Lunar New Year yesterday, and we can't let "Operation Red Sea" come in. Last year, we beat ourselves up and were laughed at by our colleagues. Let's do it again, we There is no way to explain it to investors.”

This is also a headache for Cheng Yu'an: "Let's shoot first, and we will talk about the schedule later, and see if we can squeeze in the 18 National Day."

After talking about "Operation Red Sea", Cheng Yu'an conveyed to his colleagues the spirit of the meetings these days, mainly due to the very poor grades in 16!
"I'm not alarmist, the audience is really moving away from the cinema."

After the Spring Festival in the first quarter of this year, in a full nine months, a 9 billion-level "Operation Mekong" was born in domestic films.

The five guaranteed films in the summer file all failed!
"Last year was 440 billion, and this year it is less than 480 billion." Cheng Yu'an said, "Behind the slowdown in growth rate is the decline in the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies."

"We have done well this year."

"I'm talking about the overall environment. If the environment is not good, can we live well?

"So, we still have to move towards big productions and big scenes, and bring the audience back to the cinema."

But Cheng Yu'an finally added: "However, the small and medium-budget production of young directors and the support of literary and artistic films should continue to be strengthened. Don't say that, you have cut that piece of budget."
