Actor without ambition

Chapter 319 Two Contradictions

Chapter 319 Two Contradictions
After a series of publicity, the movie "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" finally started to be released.

Director Zhang Yimou, Zhang Yuxuan as the male lead, and Liu Yifei as the female lead.This camp alone is attractive enough.

Therefore, on the first day of its release, the movie directly won 3000 million.

To be honest, the box office of Zhang Yuxuan's previous films was higher than 3000 million, but "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" itself is a romance film, a literary film.

So this kind of movie, inherently, is at a disadvantage in terms of box office.

Therefore, the box office of the movie on the first day was able to win 3000 million, which is already a very good result.

If the protagonist of this movie wasn't Zhang Yuxuan, the box office on the first day might be half of the current box office.

Therefore, Zhang Yimou and even Zhang Weiping are actually very satisfied with the box office.

After all, the movie "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" is a literary film after all, and it is still a movie with a small investment. Well, if Zhang Yuxuan's salary is excluded, the investment will be a very low-cost movie. Movie.

It's just that even if Zhang Yuxuan's salary is included, the investment in the movie "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" is still not too much, it is only more than 3000 million in total, and Zhang Yuxuan's own film salary still accounts for most of this part of the investment.

You must know that it is normal for a director like Zhang Yimou to make a serious movie with an investment of more than [-] million yuan. Even if the investment exceeds [-] million to [-] million yuan, it is not uncommon.

Therefore, the cost of 3000 million for "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" is really not that much, plus various publicity, the total cost is at most 4000 million.

However, in the movie, Zhang Weiping got a lot of placement ads.

Even because of the age, many brands cannot be implanted.So in the end, most of the implanted advertisements were toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels and other brands, but he still got almost 2000 million in advertising fees, and the 2000 million in implanted advertising fees, almost Half of the money was obtained by Zhang Weiping in the name of Zhang Yuxuan.

So Zhang Yuxuan's salary is actually equivalent to 1000 million.

Therefore, the box office of 3000 million on the first day almost made the movie "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" almost pay back.

At the same time, after the premiere, some comments about "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" gradually began to appear on the Internet.

Probably because Zhang Weiping believed in Zhang Yimou and Zhang Yuxuan very much.

So he was very optimistic about this movie and did not criticize it.

In fact, Zhang Weiping did the right thing by not controlling the reviews.Because on the Internet, most viewers who have watched the movie have a very high evaluation of "Love in the Hawthorn Tree".

"What is love? It's the third child's 'There is such a person in the world, he would rather die than deny you', and Jing Qiu's 'It's great to have you.' What is pure love? It's "I can't wait for you for a year and a month, I can't wait for you to be 25 years old, but I will wait for you for a lifetime." What is the poignant love? It is the third child Jingqiu didn't call him before his death , only 'I am Jingqiu'." - Can't sleep watching a movie

"Today I watched "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree". At the beginning, I was moved by this clean relationship, but then I felt something was wrong, and I couldn't tell what was wrong. I was thinking about it all the way home, and then I thought of it —it’s the hawthorn tree...” —Garibotti

"I just watched the first screening, and the movie is still very good. Compared with the same sensational earthquake, I have a different opinion. I don't understand why Douban's score is only 7.1 points. Because the movie has just been screened today, I feel that now Everyone has already labeled Zhang Yimou. Chen Qigang's soundtrack is very beautiful, and it also fits the atmosphere of the film very well. After watching the film, the aftertaste still lingers..." - Jiang Xin Wuyue

Of course, except for these five-star or four-star reviews.There are also some who feel that the movie is not good, such as
"It's so boring, the two of them have been bored without doing anything, and then one of them was bored to death. I didn't expect Zhang Yuxuan to act in such a boring movie. I am very disappointed with Zhang Yuxuan. I hope Zhang Yuxuan will not touch this kind of boring again in the future." movie." - Buenos

"Rubbish movies, rubbish directors, rubbish actors, rubbish plots, all rubbish." ——Looking for treasures in the trash
In addition, there are quite a few comments, which are about actors.

"The movie "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" is not bad, but the performance of the actors in it surprised me. First of all, Zhang Yuxuan, the actor who played the third male lead, except when he appeared on the stage at the beginning, would be left behind because of his previous movies. In addition to laughing at the impression that came down, I soon ignored Zhang Yuxuan himself and regarded him as the real third child. However, Zhang Yuxuan is a double actor after all. I think it is normal to have this kind of acting skills. And Jingqiu's Played by Liu Yifei, she is the one who really surprised me. In my impression, Liu Yifei has always been that fairy-like little dragon girl, giving people the impression that she is the kind of existence that does not eat the fireworks of the world. Whether it is a TV series or a movie, she is almost the same. But in this movie, she seems to have taken off her fairy coat and turned into an ordinary girl. She is no longer the kind A high, untouchable goddess, but a mortal, even a beautiful mortal..." - Von Storowski
"The fairy fell to the world, Liu Yifei's change is really too great..." ——Looking at Spring and Autumn in the Siheyuan
"Director Zhang really deserves to be Director Zhang. After being trained by Director Zhang, Liu Tianxian finally has acting skills..."——God descends to earth.

So many comments are actually not that important to Zhang Yimou, even Zhang Yuxuan.Because even if Zhang Yimou made a bad movie like "Three Shots Surprise", at most it would only make Zhang Yimou be scolded in a short period of time, and countless people will still watch it when he makes movies in the future.

After all, people make mistakes and horses make mistakes.As a director, who hasn't made a bad movie or two?

Not to mention Zhang Yuxuan, most of the movies he made after his debut were very good. Although many of the movies he starred in were comedies, there were also several non-comedy movies.

Audiences like Zhang Yuxuan to watch comedies, and audiences can also accept non-comedy movies.Therefore, the audience will not be surprised that Zhang Yuxuan starred in a literary romance film like "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", and the perception of Zhang Yuxuan's image will not change too much.

Only Liu Yifei!Such a movie alone caused a huge change in Liu Yifei's evaluation.

After all, before again, Liu Yifei left a deep impression on the audience, so deep that whenever Liu Yifei is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is Little Dragon Girl, and the first thing that comes to mind is Zhao Linger's fairy-like, non-human image .

But now Jingqiu not only lost her fairy spirit from the beginning, but also showed very good acting skills under Zhang Yimou's training.

Such a movie alone is enough for Liu Yifei to take it out and say that he is an actor of acting school.

Therefore, the movie "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" is so important to Liu Yifei.

Therefore, when Zhang Yuxuan was on the road show with Liu Yifei, he saw Liu Yifei smiling and smiling from ear to ear, showing teeth from time to time.

"I said, do you need to be so happy?"

"Of course I'm happy. Now many people on the Internet say that I'm a school of acting." Liu Yifei said proudly.

"It's all thanks to Director Zhang. Yes, your performance in this movie is good. But don't forget, you didn't have to worry about the audience scolding you for showing your true colors in the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" you made before. Is it?" Zhang Yuxuan said with a smile.

"Huh?" Liu Yifei froze for a moment.

"You told me about that movie before, the plot is so bad, you can tell it's just a script to fool people at a glance. When the director is filming that kind of script, I'm afraid the director won't have too high requirements and Pursuit, when you were filming, you shouldn't be NG, right?" Zhang Yuxuan asked.

"It's true that I didn't have much NG, but then it couldn't be that my acting skills have improved and my acting skills have improved, so is there less NG?" Liu Yifei couldn't help but argue.

"Do you believe it? Do you believe it yourself?" Zhang Yuxuan asked with a smile.

"This - I, I should, believe it?" Liu Yifei's voice was obviously a little more guilty.

Zhang Yuxuan smiled and looked at Liu Yifei with contempt.

Liu Yifei's original good mood disappeared all of a sudden, and the whole person became visibly depressed.

"Uh, when you take on a movie in the future, try to read the script and the director as much as possible, or you will take on two more Wang Jiawei movies?" Zhang Yuxuan suddenly raised his eyes and said to Liu Yifei.

"Wang Jiawei?" Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment: "Is he going to make a movie now?"

"Yes. He sent me a script invitation two days ago. He wanted me to take his part. I think you can give it a try and see if you can participate in his movie." Zhang Yuxuan said with a smile.

"Really? What movie is it?" Liu Yifei asked curiously.

To be honest, Liu Yifei also wanted to cooperate with director Wang Jiawei very much.

The main reason is that after Liu Yifei participated in Zhang Yimou's movie, her evaluations in various aspects have improved a lot, and she also felt that her acting skills have also improved a lot, so Wang Jiawei, a well-known director who can train actors , she is more willing to cooperate.

Even if possible, Liu Yifei really wants to make more films by directors like Zhang Yimou and Wang Jiawei, and strive to turn herself into an acting actor and even become a queen by making their films.

"'The Great Master', a national martial arts drama." Zhang Yuxuan said.

In fact, Wang Jiawei sent an invitation to Zhang Yuxuan, but the script for Zhang Yuxuan, except for the name "The Grandmaster", was actually a mess, completely different from the movie in Zhang Yuxuan's impression.

When Zhang Yuxuan first read the script, he couldn't help wondering whether Wang Jiawei had made a mistake in the script.

When Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but call to inquire over there, Wang Jiawei explained that the script was actually just a show, and the real script hadn't been produced yet.

This kind of explanation made Zhang Yuxuan extremely speechless.

Especially when Zhang Yuxuan heard that Wang Jiawei had been preparing this movie for almost ten years, he felt even more speechless.

After nearly ten years of preparation for a movie, the script is still not perfect?Do you want to be so exaggerated?
Afterwards, Zhang Yuxuan directly told the other side that he wanted to read the real script, even if the script was not completely perfect, at least the story should be complete, right?

But the answer to Zhang Yuxuan over there was also quite straightforward: 'No'!
According to Wang Jiawei, the current script is not yet perfect, and there may be changes and changes at any time.

If Zhang Yuxuan got the script now, and Zhang Yuxuan was too impressed with the script, he would form a fixed template in his heart.Once the script changed.Zhang Yuxuan has no way to change to the correct template, which will cause trouble instead.

Zhang Yuxuan felt particularly speechless about this.

What's more, although Wang Jiawei gave Zhang Yuxuan an invitation and wanted to ask Zhang Yuxuan to play the leading role, Zhang Yuxuan was not the only choice, Ye Wen. The male lead of "The Grandmaster" actually has two options, Zhang Yuxuan is one of them, and the other is Liang Chaowei who has collaborated with Wang Jiawei more than once.

In fact, as early as the beginning of the script creation, Wang Jiawei chose Liang Chaowei for the role of Ye Wen.

But Zhang Yuxuan had acted in the movie "Night Question" before, performed well in the movie, and won a high box office, Zhang Yuxuan entered Wang Jiawei's vision again.

Therefore, this time, Wang Jiawei sent an invitation to Zhang Yuxuan.

But in the end, whether Ye Wen should let Zhang Yuxuan or Liang Chaowei play the role, it is still not decided.

Regarding this, Zhang Yuxuan directly rolled his eyes, and directly refused to appear in the movie "The Grandmaster".

Even if Zhang Yuxuan knew about this movie, it was actually a very good movie.

But Wang Jiawei's films are notoriously slow.

Once Zhang Yuxuan really wants to take on Wang Jiawei's film, I don't know how long it will take to shoot. In addition, Wang Jiawei is too good at training actors.And this will train the actors, which naturally grinds the actors hard.This is definitely not an easy job for an actor.

Zhang Yuxuan himself is not willing to work hard, but Wang Jiawei has not yet decided to ask who will act.

Zhang Yuxuan simply made Wang Jiawei perfect, and he was not allowed to do multiple-choice questions, so he quit directly.

After refusing, Zhang Yuxuan didn't take this matter to heart any more.

Seeing Liu Yifei now, while talking, Zhang Yuxuan thought of Wang Jiawei's movie, so he simply told Liu Yifei directly.

Liu Yifei also listened to Zhang Yuxuan's words, and then she really thought about how to participate in Wang Jiawei's movie "The Grandmaster".

As for whether Liu Yifei was really lucky to join "The Grandmaster", whether Wang Jiawei would make her cry, this is no longer within the scope of Zhang Yuxuan's consideration.

Zhang Yuxuan, Liu Yifei and Zhang Yimou ran the road show for three days at a speed that was not particularly busy.

And in these three days, the movie box office has been getting higher and higher day by day. At the end of the three days, it has won more than 9000 million movie box office, which is almost over [-] million.

Zhang Yimou is very satisfied with the box office of this movie, and Zhang Weiping is also very satisfied.

It's just that Zhang Weiping's satisfaction has not reached the limit, or in other words, Zhang Weiping's satisfaction has turned into greed.

Obviously, it was agreed at the beginning that Zhang Yuxuan and Liu Yifei will conduct a three-day road show. After three days of the road show, Zhang Yuxuan and Liu Yifei will no longer have to run the road show.

However, Zhang Weiping wanted to let Zhang Yuxuan and Liu Yifei continue to run commercial performances to increase the movie box office after seeing nearly [-] million box office in three days. In this regard, Zhang Yuxuan and even Liu Yifei directly rejected Zhang Weiping's request, even Even Zhang Yimou was unwilling to pay attention to Zhang Weiping's request.

"Old Zhang, don't you want our movie to get a higher box office? You see Feng Gangpao's "The Great Earthquake" has already won a movie box office of 6 million before it was released. According to If this situation continues, when it is released, it will definitely earn more than [-] million box office. Are you willing to lose to Feng Gangpao in terms of box office?" Zhang Weiping said to Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou directly rolled his eyes: "Come on, the two movies are not of the same type. How much did you invest in "The Great Earthquake"? How much did you invest in "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree?"

"Old Zhang, that's not what you said. Look, our movie will almost win a box office of [-] million in three days. As long as you hold Zhang Yuxuan and Liu Yifei and continue to drag them into commercial performances, our movie The box office can definitely increase, your reputation, plus Zhang Yuxuan's appeal at the movie box office. Even if the type of movie is different and the investment is different, why don't you have to surpass Feng Gangpao?" Zhang Weiping said eloquently.

"Don't forget that Zhang Yuxuan is also in "The Great Earthquake."

"However, Zhang Yuxuan is not the protagonist in "The Great Earthquake". In our movie, Zhang Yuxuan is the protagonist."

"Stop making trouble for no reason, okay? Zhang Weiping, why don't you just go after money?" Zhang Yimou looked at Zhang Weiping unhappy.

"Zhang Yimou!!! You speak lightly. I don't care about money. Where did you get the money for making movies? If it weren't for me, would you be able to make movies with such peace of mind? If it wasn't for me, your other investments in movies How can we not intervene in the filming?" Zhang Weiping shouted loudly.

After Zhang Yimou heard Zhang Weiping's words, he couldn't help showing a smile, and was annoyed: "Zhang Weiping!!! Do you think I, Zhang Yimou, will lack investment if I want to make a movie? As for my movie, the investment Can Fang intervene? If they intervene again, can they intervene as much as you? From actors to scripts, which one do you not intervene in?"

Zhang Yimou was really pissed off.

Zhang Yimou hoped that the movies he made would be purer, but Zhang Weiping frequently intervened. If it wasn't for Zhang Weiping, Zhang Yimou felt that the quality of the movies he made could be improved by at least half a grade.
