Actor: I picked up attributes on the set

Chapter 206 The People's Release, It's Explosive!
l
With the arrival of March, this means that the Spring Festival schedule is coming to an end, and the box office of movies released during the Spring Festival schedule such as "The Great Wall", "Journey to the West: Three Fighting the Bones", "Kung Fu Panda" and so on have also been announced one after another.

It has to be said that the consumption power of the domestic film market is still very scary.

In the case of the movie "Mermaid" which won more than 40.00% of the total box office during the Spring Festival schedule, there are still three movies that have earned a billion box office.

Logically speaking, winning a box office of one billion should be something worth celebrating, but until the Spring Festival is over, it is difficult to find news on the Internet about other film crews celebrating their box office breaking one billion.

It's not that these film crews didn't celebrate, but the performance of the movie "Mermaid" is too explosive. While other movies are still striving for a box office of one billion or two billion, "Mermaid" has been released for 20 days , won a domestic box office of 47 billion!
With this astonishing result, the box office of other movies has exceeded one billion, which is not something worthy of attention at all, so that the Internet is full of news about "The Mermaid" winning the box office champion of this Spring Festival schedule.

Just after the total box office results of the movie "Mermaid" came out, Lin Yuan surpassed Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang and other strong contenders with a box office of 81.6 billion with a cumulative box office of [-] billion yuan, becoming the actor with the highest cumulative box office in China.

Lin Yuan had just finished filming today's scene, and was talking to the props team about things to pay attention to in the sets of the two scenes tomorrow. While talking, the phone in his pocket vibrated non-stop.

Originally, Lin Yuan didn't intend to answer the phone, but after seeing the word "Deng Chao" on the caller ID, he stopped talking with the staff of the props team and connected the phone.

"Hey, brother Chao, why did you think of calling me?" Lin Yuan greeted first and asked Deng Chao why he was calling.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Deng Chao's joyful voice coming from the other end of the phone: "Are you still pretending to me? The number one actor in the domestic cumulative box office, you can do it, and another starring movie will be released soon. Won tens of billions of box office!"

After hearing this, Lin Yuan was still a little puzzled: "The cumulative domestic box office is the first? Isn't that Brother Bo?"

He has been busy with the crew these few days. He went online to help promote the upcoming "In the Name of the People". He really didn't have much time to pay attention to the cumulative box office ranking of domestic actors.

However, it is also understandable. The total box office of "Mermaid" was announced last night, and the cumulative box office ranking of domestic actors was updated after the announcement of "Mermaid" box office, that is, it was updated in the early hours of this morning. Lin Yuan got up in the morning Afterwards, I was too busy worrying about the crew, so I didn't have time to surf Weibo.

Deng Chao laughed and joked: "Now there is only Brother Yuan, so there is no Brother Bo."

"No, Brother Chao, don't make fun of me." Lin Yuan hurriedly said modestly.

The entertainment industry is a place where seniority is very serious, and just like the literal meaning of the word, the ranking is before the seniority. With Lin Yuan's current performance, he must have crazy capital, but Lin Yuan doesn't care about it at all. I haven't forgotten that my ability to get to this point is inseparable from the help of Deng Chao, Huang Bo, and Zou Long.

"Okay, okay, I'll just make a phone call to congratulate you. When your filming is over, we two brothers can have a good time together when we return to Shanghai."

"Sure, I'll call Brother Chao when the time comes."

Before "I'm Not the God of Medicine" held a launch conference, Deng Chao naturally knew that Lin Yuan was filming a movie, so he also called during dinner time, and after briefly congratulating his brother on his achievements, I didn't say anything more.

Just as Lin Yuan hung up the phone with Deng Chao, before he had time to finish talking about tomorrow's set, the phone rang again, and other friends in the circle called one after another, all for one thing, that is, to congratulate Lin Yuan The box office of the starring "Mermaid" hit the highest record in Chinese film history.

Like before, the box office of "Looking for the Dragon" broke 20 billion, which was still expected by everyone.

After all, whether it is from the perspective of the cast or the adaptation of the IP masterpiece "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", it is worthy of the 20 billion box office.

What about the movie "The Mermaid"?In addition to Lin Yuan, the cast is only a first-line star like Luo Zhixiang. No matter how you look at it, the box office of this movie will hardly surpass that of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" shot by Master Xing.

However, the final result was a slap in the face of everyone. The movie "Mermaid" not only directly broke the box office record, but also abruptly raised the threshold of the box office record to 30 billion.

If nothing else, this year's box office champion will probably be held by the movie "The Mermaid" for a whole year.

In the face of such terrifying box office results, Lin Yuan's box office appeal has once again been recognized. If there is a questionnaire survey now, asking the stars in the circle who is the actor they want to work with the most, there is no doubt that Lin Yuan is definitely the first choice. In the top three position!

After returning to the hotel, Lin Yuan first checked to see if there was any news in the entertainment industry today.

After browsing Weibo, I found that almost half of the topics are about the movie "Mermaid". Besides, there are also many netizens discussing the "[-] billion box office".

After seeing the topic of "[-] billion box office", Lin Yuan couldn't help but think about it in his heart.

His cumulative box office has reached 80 billion now, which is a full billion more than No.2 Huang Bo. Judging from the box office results, he is indeed the most likely to be the first to win the "ten billion box office". As an actor, Huang Bo still has two films that have not been released this year. On the other hand, Lin Yuan, "Kung Fu Yoga" has already been scheduled for next year's Spring Festival, leaving only the film "Predecessor 3" that may be released this year.

That is to say, as long as the box office of these two films of Huang Bo exceeds 30 billion, it is very likely to surpass Lin Yuan and win the honor of 50 billion box office first. [-] million box office, don't you just overtake on a bend?

He is now only one step away from the tens of billions of box office, and the more he can't relax at this time.

After watching the discussion about the box office of tens of billions for a while, Lin Yuan also casually reposted the Weibo news posted by the official blog of "Mermaid" today to celebrate the box office breaking through 34 billion.

Not a while after he retweeted Weibo, sister Xia called him.

Unlike her friends in the circle, Miss Xia didn't come here to congratulate him on such a high box office, but she had a very serious matter to discuss with Lin Yuan.

"Lin Yuan, you're not filming now, are you?" Sister Xia asked tentatively first.

She saw Lin Yuan repost the news of the official blog of "Mermaid", and guessed that Lin Yuan should be free now, so she called. Usually, if there is no important matter, she would not choose to communicate on the phone.

Lin Yuan flipped through the script over and over, and said over and over again: "No, what's the matter for Sister Xia?"

Since this matter is not only closely related to her and Lin Yuan's interests, Sister Xia also explained straight to the point: "It's like this, aren't you filming the movie "The God of Medicine" now, plus the recent explosion of "Mermaid" , The topic discussion is also high. What the company thinks is that it is better to have a celebrity visit. First, it is a warm-up for the movie "The God of Medicine" in advance, and second is to take advantage of the high popularity to create a few more topics. Advertisement by the media”

It can be said that this kind of thing is very common in the entertainment industry.

There are two types of visits: star visits and fan visits. The former is usually for the purpose of hyping scandals and causing media exposure in a short period of time in this way; the latter seems to be fan benefits, but in fact it is just to increase fan stickiness. a means.

In Lin Yuan's current situation, with the release of the movie "Mermaid" and the fact that he is now filming on the set, his popularity on the Internet will inevitably drop suddenly over time.

Only by frequently appearing in the public eye can Lin Yuan's current super popularity be guaranteed.

So after thinking for a while, Lin Yuan agreed.

"Okay, then sister Xia, you can arrange this matter."

After agreeing, he still didn't forget to remind: "If you don't come, you have to tell me in advance, I'll be ready when the time comes."

Lin Yuan didn't want the movie's plot to be exposed before the filming was finished, so he would let him know in advance when he visited the set, so that he could arrange some not particularly important scenes for the day.

"Don't worry about this." Sister Xia assured her on the other end of the phone.

In the next few days, the crew of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is still in the running-in stage.

Although drama films do not have the grand scenes of sci-fi films, nor the passionate fighting scenes of martial arts films, they are not even comparable to horror films in terms of atmosphere rendering. Among many film genres, drama films are the easiest to shoot. It can be shot with only a DV, but at the same time, feature films are also the most difficult type of film to shoot.

The difficulty of shooting a feature film does not lie in special effects, plot reversals, gorgeous fighting scenes, etc., but in how to present the story that the film wants to express vividly in front of the audience.

For an excellent feature film, every segment, even every frame, must have its meaning of existence.

Although Lin Yuan's requirements for his first work are not so high, he is also trying his best to ask for better shooting.

Some scenes may be over in one piece, and some scenes may not satisfy Lin Yuan even after a day of filming. Sometimes he will choose to reshoot several times for the sake of an actor's less-than-perfect demeanor. Aware of Lin Yuan's strictness.

Under such high-demand shooting, the condition of the whole crew is getting better and better.

Fast forward to March 3th.

Considering that today is the premiere day of "In the Name of the People", Lin Yuan asked the crew to leave work early after filming the scene at [-] o'clock in the afternoon.

After returning to the hotel, being idle and bored, Xu Zheng asked the crew to buy some cold dishes and peanuts outside, carried the things to Lin Yuan's room, and called Ning Hao over.

Before entering the door, Xu Zheng asked: "Lin Yuan, Ning Hao and I came to watch TV with you, should there be no problem?"

After the two walked in, Lin Yuanshun closed the door and began to tease: "No problem, it's just that this ceremony is a little bit shabby. People who visit the house always carry gifts in big and small bags. When you're a director, you bring some peanut cold dishes." , is this plausible?"

"What's outrageous, if you look down on it, don't eat it later!" Xu Zheng put cold dishes and peanuts on the table, sat down on the sofa, and then tuned the TV channel to Mango Channel.

From this action, it can be seen that Xu Zheng obviously remembered that the TV series "In the Name of the People" starring Lin Yuan premiered today.

In fact, filmmakers like them rarely watch movies.

It's not that movies must be more compelling than TV dramas, it's just that they don't have time to watch TV dramas.

It only takes one or two hours to watch a movie, but it takes a week or two to watch a whole TV series. More importantly, there is a big difference between the shooting of movies and TV series.

There are almost no waste pictures in a good movie. Every picture is carefully designed, for example: different lighting reflects different psychological states of characters, refined lines without any nonsense, every composition method, The way the mirror is moved, every action, and every placed object is composed of audio-visual language. It uses vision and hearing to tell wonderful stories in a short period of time, and shoots movies according to the imagery thinking mode of the human brain. There are Too much academic.

But TV dramas are different. They use script lines to tell stories through actors. There are often many ways of running accounts. Even if a bad picture is replaced by an empty shot, the audience will not feel awkward.

For directors like Xu Zheng and Ning Hao, they just want to learn from it, and that is to watch other movies instead of spending time on TV series.

But no matter what, "In the Name of the People" is a TV series starring Lin Yuan after all, so I still have to give it some face.

After the three sat on the sofa and chatted for a while, the time soon reached eight o'clock in the evening.

Looking at the last advertisement on TV, Xu Zheng suddenly asked curiously: "By the way, Lin Yuan, I heard that you were asked to play the leading role. Why did you change to Lu Yi later?"

Xu Zheng was the first to shoot TV series, and he also met a lot of people in the TV circle. It is not surprising to know these gossips.

On the contrary, what surprised Xu Zheng was that Lin Yuan refused to act as the male lead with the most roles, and insisted on acting as the second male lead, giving Lu Yi such a good opportunity, he really couldn't understand.

"I've seen Lu Yi's character, but it lacks sparkle." Lin Yuan broke open a peanut, threw it into his mouth, and continued: "This kind of character has many roles, but most of them are promoting the plot, so it's hard to tell the audience. Left a deep impression."

Speaking of this, Lin Yuan suddenly looked at Xu Zheng, and asked very seriously: "Brother Zheng, if it were you, would you choose a character that the audience can remember, or a character that is not very flattering in itself?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Zheng blurted out: "Do you even need to think about it? The audience must remember it!"

He entered the audience's field of vision through the TV series "Bright Spring Pig Bajie", so he knows better than anyone how important it is for an actor to play a role that the audience can remember.

After answering Lin Yuan's question, Xu Zheng also reacted immediately.

He smiled, and said with interest: "Okay, I want to see how eye-catching your character is."

The 5-minute commercial is short, but for viewers who want to watch the feature film of the TV series, these 5 minutes are simply tormenting.

I smoked a cigarette and went to the toilet, but when I came back, I saw that the advertisement was still tens of seconds away.

There is nothing to be done with this little time, so I had to sit obediently in front of the TV and silently count the countdown, waiting for the commercial to end.

"Why hasn't the broadcast started yet? This is the first commercial!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, I want to watch the TV series played by Yuanbao!"

"I heard that this is an anti-corruption TV series. It should be similar to "Remaining Sins", right?"

"It doesn't matter what type of TV series it is, it's produced by Lin Yuan, it must be a high-quality TV series!"

"I'm pinching my watch, it's time to count down, ten, nine"

In the anticipation of tens of millions of viewers, "In the Name of the People" is officially launched!
The opening song of this TV series does not have lyrics, but a very tight melody. In this dense melody, the scenes of the camera are constantly switching from city construction to close-ups of several leading actors, and finally all the pictures gradually converge to form five Burning Chinese characters - "in the name of the people"!
on TV.

In the evening in the capital, it was already the beginning of the lights. In a community, Hou Liangping, played by Lu Yi, was guarding the downstairs of Zhao Dehan’s house. Despite repeated urgings from his colleagues, Hou Liangping still insisted on waiting for Zhao Dehan’s wife and children to leave before they implemented the plan. action.

When they came to the fourth floor and knocked on the door, what they didn't expect was that the house was poorly furnished and even a little dilapidated. The Zhao Dehan in front of them was simple and honest, dressed plainly like an "old farmer". Seeing Hou Liangping and the others coming in, He still ate the noodles in a very unhurried manner.

The two tested each other in the conversations again and again, coupled with the acting skills of Hou Yong, an old drama player, made such a scene with an ordinary plot, and also made the audience feel a kind of tension in the hearts of masters. feel.

It wasn't until 10 minutes later, at the emergency meeting attended by Secretary Gao Yuliang's office, Li Dakang, a senior official of Jingzhou City, and Qi Tongwei, director of the Public Security Department of Handong Province, that the audience saw the character played by Lin Yuan appear.

It was just a short scene, and the audience couldn't help discussing it.

"Is this Lin Yuan?"

"After putting on makeup, he looks much more mature. I believe even if he is Yu Zui's father!"

"I thought Asian makeup was only useful for girls, but I didn't expect it to be so effective for men."

"Is this because of makeup? With that look in his eyes just now, Lin Yuan can't really be from the second generation of officials, right?"

"Yuanbao fulfills my fantasy of a mature uncle!"

Forget the audience.

Even Xu Zheng and Ning Hao, who were sitting beside Lin Yuan, couldn't help looking at Lin Yuan, repeatedly confirming that Lin Yuan and Qi Tongwei in the TV screen were the same person.

Xu Zheng clicked his tongue in amazement, and asked, "Is this really you?"

"Why not me?"

"Are you saying this is you again?"

Seeing that Xu Zheng didn't believe it, Lin Yuan had no choice but to think back to his state when he was filming, and gave Xu Zheng a cold look with the aura of "Qi Tongwei", the head of the Public Security Bureau.

Xu Zheng was suddenly frightened by the aura of the superior.

Just because he had been in contact with these leaders in the early years, he knew in his heart how realistic Lin Yuan's state just now was.

"Hiss, I believe it's you"

He picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water to hide his short-term panic.

The three of them also had a tacit understanding and did not mention the matter of playing the role, but turned their attention back to the TV.

After watching attentively, the first episode of "In the Name of the People" came to an end soon.

Qi Tongwei, played by Lin Yuan, didn't have many roles in the first episode. He gave people the impression that he was a villain who wanted to flatter Li Dakang and was sycophant.

After watching the first episode, Xu Zheng opened his mouth several times and swallowed the words back. Finally, he couldn't hold back and asked, "Lin Yuan, are you sure that the role of Qi Tongwei can be remembered by the audience instead of scolded by the audience?" ???"

Even Ning Hao who was at the side whispered, "Could it be that the director asked the director to delete the play?"

After hearing what the two of them said, Lin Yuan was a little dumbfounded.

What does it mean that he has to be scolded by the audience for playing this role?

Even the director deleted his play, would Li Lu dare to do this?

Not to mention how popular he had just won the Golden Goblet Award at that time, and because he was the biggest investor in the drama "In the Name of the People", director Li Lu dared not delete his drama.

"What are you thinking? I'm still laying the groundwork for the plot, and it's not my turn to exert my strength now." Lin Yuan explained to the two of them slowly.

Hearing this, Xu Zheng and Ning Hao also showed a skeptical expression.

However, after the second episode finished, Xu Zheng and Ning Hao looked at each other, and then looked at Lin Yuan in unison, as if saying to him: Do you really think we are fools?
Just such a speculative, unprincipled, stalking image, can it still attract audiences later?

If the two of them hadn't known that Lin Yuan's ability to understand the characters was not bad, I'm afraid they really thought Lin Yuan was joking about the two of them.

But having said that, although Lin Yuan's roles are a little less, judging from the level of these two TV series, they are still very good. At least both Xu Zheng and Ning Hao have the desire to watch.

Even the two of them thought the filming was good, so the response from the audience must not be bad.

Before leaving, Xu Zheng patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder and said very seriously: "Lin Yuan, the ratings of your TV series will definitely not be low."

Originally, he was going to say that this TV series would definitely set a TV series ratings record.

But when he thought of the explosive ratings of "A Thousand Bone of Flowers", he immediately reorganized his words.

Lin Yuan smiled and did not speak.

Whether it's the performances of the actors or the wonderfulness of the script, "In the Name of the People" is much better than "A Thousand Bone Flowers". The only thing that is not as good as "A Thousand Bone Flowers" is the limited subject matter. Many women may not like to watch this type of TV series.

However, it is these female viewers who can control the ratings of TV dramas.

So Lin Yuan really has no idea what kind of achievements the TV series "In the Name of the People" can achieve.

After watching the premiere, because he had to get up early tomorrow for filming, Lin Yuan also took a shower and then lay down on the bed to rest.

at the same time.

Unlike Lin Yuan, those viewers who watched the first two episodes of "In the Name of the People" couldn't fall asleep.

Although they knew in advance that this was an anti-corruption TV series.

But I never expected that the pace of this TV series would be so fast. In just two episodes, a director of the department had already been arrested and a deputy mayor had been forced to flee to another country.

Coupled with the superb acting skills of these old drama players, the characters in the play are almost brought to life.

Seeing that the prelude had just kicked off and Hou Liangping had just arrived in Handong Province, anyone with a discerning eye knew that there would be a bloodbath, but in the end, it was gone!
If you want to watch the following plot, you have to wait until the TV series airs tomorrow. Will this allow the audience to sleep well?

Therefore, these viewers also logged on to their respective social media one after another, and began to discuss the topic of the TV series "In the Name of the People".

Female dormitory group:
"Jimei, have you watched "In the Name of the People"?"

"Isn't that a TV series about anti-corruption and officialdom? What's so good about it?"

"That's so good. I think this TV series is more exciting than Gongdou drama, but it's a pity that my husband Lin Yuan is actually a villain in it."

"Lin Yuan is also in this TV series? Then I have to watch it."

Weibo topic discussion group:
"Will the director choose someone? Is it appropriate for Lin Yuan to play such a disgusting role?"

"Puppet, Lin Yuan only has such a small role in the two episodes. If I had known earlier, I might as well not invest in this TV series and let it fend for itself."

"There are so many old dramas with excellent acting skills, I feel that this TV series can be booked as the best TV series of this year."

"Why do TV dramas with this theme make my blood boil?"

"Is there a possibility that you are afraid of being caught, so you are so nervous?"

"Is it reasonable to have two episodes a day? At worst, I'll use money to become a member, so hurry up and show me the following content!"

"."

Just when netizens were discussing the topic of the TV series "In the Name of the People".

the other side.

Inside the Mango Terrace building, several staff members have been staring at the screen intently, looking at the data fluctuation graph on it.

The last time I saw such an exaggerated premiere result was when "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" was screened.

Strictly speaking, when the first episode of "In the Name of the People" was aired, the ratings exploded, but compared with "A Thousand Bones of Flowers", it was obviously a bit worse.

However, by the end of the second episode, the ratings were almost on par with "A Thousand Bone Flowers".

From the performance point of view, "In the Name of the People" seems to be inferior to "A Thousand Bone Flowers", but in fact, a simple analysis shows how explosive the ratings of the TV series "In the Name of the People" are.

First of all, "In the Name of the People" is not a weekly TV series like "A Thousand Bones", but two episodes are broadcast every day. The stickiness of the audience will only get stronger.

Secondly, the TV series "In the Name of the People" is not as good as "A Thousand Bone Flowers" in terms of publicity. Before the premiere of "A Thousand Bone Flowers", Lin Yuan and the crew participated in various variety shows and were frequently exposed in front of the media cameras. Lin Yuan just promoted the TV series "In the Name of the People" on Weibo.

The last is the difference in the themes of the two TV series. Hua Qiangu, as a fairy tale drama in ancient costume, has a larger audience than the anti-corruption TV series "In the Name of the People". In this case, the ratings of "In the Name of the People" can be compared with "A Thousand Bone Flowers" was flat, which is enough to show how exaggerated the results are.

After seeing this result, a director of Mango Channel couldn't help muttering: "Is our station going to produce another phenomenal work?"

After hearing this, other people's faces also showed unconcealable joy.

While other local satellite TVs have struggled to produce a phenomenon-level work for several years, their Mango Channel had "A Thousand Bone of Flowers" last year, and "In the Name of the People" this year. This kind of achievement, don't say anything about restoring Mango. The former glory of Taiwan is almost opened a new chapter in the history of their Mango Taiwan!

After hearing this, the director of the director department made a quick decision in his mind.

"Propaganda! Hurry up and call the people in the Propaganda Department, you must get the publicity plan tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!"

Now is the age of Internet information, the saying that "the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley" has long been outdated. No matter how good the wine in the tavern is, if the publicity is not in place, there will only be so few guests, but if it is a latrine, as long as the publicity is good , There are also people like Lao Ba in an endless stream.

Taking advantage of the fact that it just premiered today, if the publicity is in place, the audience can watch the rerun before it airs on TV the next day.

Otherwise, wait until halfway through the broadcast of the TV series to promote it. Even if the audience is interested in this TV series, they would rather wait until the TV series is over and watch it all at once instead of watching the series every day. At that time, no matter how hard they promote it , The help to the follow-up ratings has been minimal.

And just when Mango Channel was busy promoting the movie "In the Name of the People", many online video broadcasting platforms also set their sights on this piece of sweet pastry!
