Actor without ambition

Chapter 321 New Year's Resolutions
"Today I finally watched the movie I am most looking forward to this year, Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly". In the dark, I silently shed two lines of tears. This is probably the first time I cried after watching a movie not because of the plot. I think the reason why I cry is because I was attracted by Jiang Wen's talent, sincerity and feelings. I was deeply moved. I have always felt that it would be a waste to make a blockbuster commercial entertainment film with Jiang Wen's talent, because from an artistic point of view, it would be a waste to use Jiang Wen's acceptance of "Southern What People Weekly said in an interview is that its threshold is actually very low. Jiang Wen also said that some directors of blockbuster films "use 0.2% of their energy to do this for you, and then he eats, drinks and entertains as a big money next to you. Watching like an idiot here, I don't think it's fair..."

"Three years later, we waited for Jiang Wen again. The first part of "The Sun Also Rises" is brilliant enough, but there are only two kinds of audiences, either absolutely naive or absolutely profound. This time Jiang Wen practiced more intelligently. A level audience can see something good enough. This time Jiang Wen hid his ambitions under the superficial comedy baggage. "Let the Bullets Fly" is a commercial film, but it is more artistic than most domestic art films .I made money, but I still stand. And I hid it deeply, but I stood up straighter..."

"Four joys at the beginning, single fisherman at the end; seven pairs of hemp tubes in a row, none of the soup gangsters, [-] characters without a match; the best actor of the three yuan, all male supporting roles, the flower card Zhou Yun, and Jiang Wen. Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" is a table of mahjong, each face is a card. Life is like a play, and the battlefield is like a casino. The film shows the emotional state of the grassroots through Zhang Mazi's experience in Goose City. They face this"

Almost the day after Let the Bullets Fly hit theaters, reviews of all sorts have emerged.

Almost most of the film critics praised Jiang Wen and the movie "Let the Bullets Fly".Even if there are occasionally a few with slightly lower ratings, they just think that Jiang Wen should continue to make literary films instead of commercial films.After all, in this era, literary films still have a higher status than commercial films in the perception of many people.

But even though Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" was a commercial film, many people still gave Jiang Wen a high score on Douban. Even on the first day of its release, the film's score was as high as 9.5.

To be honest, in this day and age, online movie ratings, foreign movie ratings will be increased by [-] points, and domestic movies will be reduced by [-] points, with almost no exceptions.

And Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" was able to score such a high score on the first day of its release, which is enough to show the audience's love for this movie.Even if this is the first day's score, the score will gradually drop later, but I'm afraid that "Let the Bullets Fly" will still get a very high score.

And let the bullets fly the box office of the first day of the movie, more than 3000 million, 3218 million to be precise.

To be honest, the box office of this movie is not as high as the first-day box office of Feng Gangpao's "The Great Earthquake".

However, Jiang Wen's movie has this kind of box office, so it won't make people feel strange.

Because before Jiang Wen, all his films were literary films.Movies made by literary and artistic directors will not be liked by many people, or in other words, not so many people will be fanatical.

Even the reason why this movie was able to have a box office of more than 3000 million on the first day is due to the promotion of the movie and the blessing of Ge You, Zhou Runfa and Zhang Yuxuan's fame.

As for the box office data, Jiang Wen himself was very satisfied.

Yes, Jiang Wen is very satisfied.

Even if he made this movie, the box office on the first day was far inferior to the 700 million box office of "The Great Earthquake".There were even quite a few movies whose box office on the first day surpassed "Let the Bullets Fly", but Jiang Wen was still very satisfied.

Because Jiang Wen knew himself, he knew that he was just a director of stinking literary films before, and his previous films did not get a good box office.

So in Jiang Wen's heart, he is already satisfied that his commercial film can earn two to three hundred million at the box office. He thinks it will be the first commercial film in his life. , even if it was a great success.

So, on the first day, the box office of the movie was 3000 to [-] million. According to this kind of box office, his movie might earn [-] to [-] million. What is Jiang Wen not satisfied with?
In fact, even the investors of the movie were quite satisfied after seeing the box office on the first day.After all, most of Jiang Wen's movies are aimed at winning awards, and Jiang Wen's movies are all sold to sell foreign copyrights to make money.

As for Feng Gangpao, when a reporter interviewed him about Jiang Wen's movie's box office of 3000 and [-] million on the first day, what was his opinion?

Feng Gangpao was still grinning, showing two big teeth: "Well, Jiang Wen's movie this time is still good, with a box office of 3000 and 3000 million, this time he can be regarded as a successful transformation. In the future, he can also say that he is a commercial film director.After all, it’s not anyone who can make a commercial movie with a box office of [-] million on the first day. Although it’s not as good as some of its predecessors, it’s already very successful..."

What Feng Gangpao said seemed to be that he recognized Jiang Wen's ability and his successful transformation, but the meaning behind the words was still showing off. Anyone who heard the seniors in what he said knew Feng Gangpao's I'm talking about myself.

After Feng Gangpao's remarks were posted on the Internet, he successfully attracted a wave of black fans and hostility.

But Feng Gangpao didn't care at all. Who told him that Feng Gangpao's movies had better box office results than Jiang Wen's movies.His movie "The Great Earthquake" had a box office of 700 million on the first day.It is a full 500 million higher than Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly".

It's just that the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" on the second day saw a leap-forward growth, reaching 4000 and [-] million.

The box office on the second day directly increased by 1000 million compared with the first day! ! !

The extent of this increase in the movie box office has shocked and surprised many people.

Even Jiang Wen himself almost dropped his jaw in shock. The investors of "Let the Bullets Fly" were even more delighted from ear to ear.Originally, they were thinking of selling foreign film copyrights to make money. After all, the investment cost of the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" was as high as [-] million. If it only relied on the box office, it would cost [-] million. pay back.But now looking at the growth rate of the movie box office, it is only the domestic movie box office, I am afraid that it will be able to recoup, and even make a fortune.How could they be unhappy.

On Feng Gangpao's side, it was a little embarrassing.

After all, yesterday he still regarded himself as a senior, pointing and pointing at Jiang Wen with a condescending attitude.But he didn't expect that the box office of other people's movies would directly increase by 1000 million the next day, reaching an astonishing 4000 million two million.

Although this single-day box office is a bit short of the highest single-day box office of "The Great Earthquake", it is not much worse.What if the single-day box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" continue to grow?Then he is not afraid of being slapped in the face.What's more, if the total box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" exceeds the total box office of "The Great Earthquake", he is afraid that countless people will laugh at him.

In general, they are all afraid of what will come.

For two days in a row, the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" is getting higher and higher. There are also some newspapers on the Internet, and the evaluation of "Let the Bullets Fly" is getting higher and higher. The spoiler is to use the interesting lines Jiang Wen and the others said in the movie as jokes, and then successfully attract a wave of audience into the movie theater.

As a result, the box office of the movie on the third day directly reached an astonishing 300 million.

On this day, the single-day box office increased by more than 1000 million.

It has even surpassed the single-day highest box office of "The Great Earthquake".

This time, Feng Gangpao's face became extremely ugly, and then Feng Gangpao began to shrink back at home and did not go out.

Some of the reporters who originally wanted to interview Feng Gangpao couldn't find anyone now.

And on the third day, the single-day box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" unexpectedly climbed again, reaching an astonishing 6000 two million.This domestic film's highest single-day box office was raised to another level by "Let the Bullets Fly".

At this time, Zhang Yuxuan, one of the actors in "Let the Bullets Fly", was inevitably mentioned again.

After all, all the movies that Zhang Yuxuan participated in, even if they were not the protagonists, but only supporting roles, the box office of the movies was generally not low. Even like "The Great Earthquake" and "Let the Bullets Fly", Zhang Yuxuan played supporting roles, and the box office of the movies was still so high. It even broke box office records.

This has aroused countless discussions.

Some people have even started to regard Zhang Yuxuan as a mascot.

It seems that the box office of all films that Zhang Yuxuan participated in will be boosted, and the box office of all films that Zhang Yuxuan participated in will be very good.

It's like the movie Let the Bullets Fly.Obviously the protagonists are Jiang Wen, Ge You and Zhou Runfa.

But unfortunately, in terms of simple actors, the popularity of the three of them was not as high as Zhang Yuxuan.

Obviously, the biggest credit for the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" should belong to Jiang Wen, the director and the protagonist.However, there were some people who believed that the success of the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" was due to Zhang Yuxuan!
This statement is a bit funny, a bit nonsensical.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who agree with this statement, and a lot of people recognize Zhang Yuxuan.

Netizens and viewers outside the circle, although they were the first to say this, but in fact, many people are just following along for fun, playing tricks, and even they themselves don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously .

But people in the entertainment circle started to take this seriously.

Because people in the entertainment industry, many people are more superstitious and believe in fate.

In addition, they inquired about Zhang Yuxuan's qualifications, and found that Zhang Yuxuan had never failed a single time since his debut, no matter whether it was a TV series, a movie, or even a variety show.Now, Zhang Yuxuan is more attractive in the eyes of many people.

……

After Zhang Yuxuan frowned and hung up the phone, he simply turned off the phone.

Recently, too many people have called Zhang Yuxuan.

Zhang Yuxuan didn't even know where these people got his phone number from.Many actors or film and television companies that Zhang Yuxuan has never worked with have kept calling Zhang Yuxuan during this period.

Some want to invite Zhang Yuxuan to be a guest star, some want to invite Zhang Yuxuan to be the protagonist, and some want to invest in Zhang Yuxuan's new movie, and some say that as long as Zhang Yuxuan is willing, they will spend the money. How to make the movie, who is the actor, the script Whatever you want to write, leave it to Zhang Yuxuan.Hearing this, Zhang Yuxuan wanted to pooh, is he the kind of person who is so diligent that he likes to take over all the work?Zhang Yuxuan wished that others would prepare everything, and then he would simply shoot directly. This is why Zhang Yuxuan would accept a movie directed by others.

There were even people who wanted to buy shares in Zhang Yuxuan's studio, especially those who wanted to buy shares in Zhang Yuxuan's studio, which amused Zhang Yuxuan. Before they called, didn't they pay attention to Zhang Yuxuan's assets?Is he so short of money?
Li Ling next to Zhang Yuxuan also hung up the phone at this time, with a tired face, and then, together with Zhang Yuxuan, turned off the phone directly.

Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help laughing when he saw that Li Ling had also turned off his phone, "Sister Ling? Why? You, a workaholic, have a day when your phone is turned off?"

Hearing this, Li Ling directly gave Zhang Yuxuan a big roll of his eyes: "The workaholic can't rest? What's more, today is the New Year's Eve. I can't spend the New Year in peace?"

"Yes, yes, of course." Zhang Yuxuan said cheerfully: "I don't know what these people think, they still call after Chinese New Year."

"Do you think other people are like you? In recent years, the work of celebrities has become more and more busy. A few years ago, during the Chinese New Year, most of the celebrities would go back to their hometown to rest, but in the past two years, even during the Chinese New Year, many celebrities have to Keep working, especially with the constant holding of Spring Festival Gala around the world, more and more stars are needed. It’s just you, don’t take this seriously.” Li Ling said angrily.

"I haven't had a good New Year's Eve for several years. If I don't go to the Spring Festival Gala this year, can I still have a good rest?" Zhang Yuxuan lazily nestled on the sofa, talking casually while turning on the TV, ready to watch this year's Spring Festival Gala : "By the way, Shen Teng and the others' sketches, when will they be up?"

"Eleven past five."

Zhang Yuxuan nodded upon hearing this.

This time, Zhang Yuxuan did not choose to attend the CCTV Spring Festival Gala invitation, but handed the invitation over to Shen Teng and the others.

This time, Zhang Yuxuan didn't even prepare a sketch script or anything, and handed over all the work to them.And Shen Teng, Liu Yan and Yang Mi did not disappoint Zhang Yuxuan.The three of them pulled Ellen and Mary together.Five people made a skit, and it was really approved. This time, their skit was performed after eleven o'clock.

This time, because of Zhang Yuxuan's actions, the sketch made by Shen Teng and the others turned out to be something that Zhang Yuxuan had never seen before, and it was a brand new sketch.

However, the content of the skit is good, and the funny aspect is also quite high.This is also the reason why the sketch can be on the Spring Festival Gala.

Zhang Yuxuan was also quite satisfied with this, after all, Zhang Yuxuan didn't have to spend all his money on it.

Maybe in the future, after Zhang Yuxuan has cleared all his money, all the artists under him have already become talents, and Zhang Yuxuan doesn't need to spend any more thoughts and brains.

The Spring Festival Gala began, Zhang Yuxuan and Li Ling were sitting on the sofa watching TV, but soon, the two people's attention was shifted from the TV to their private mobile phone.

Zhang Yuxuan read novels casually.As for Li Ling, she originally turned off her mobile phone to hide away, to rest and relax her brain, but soon, her attention returned to her work. It can only be said that she is really a natural workaholic. I can't sit still for a while.

……

On the sixth day, Zhang Yuxuan's studio opened.

"Brother Xuan, Happy New Year!" Yang Mi greeted Zhang Yuxuan with a smile.

"Well, happy new year."

"Boss, happy new year."

"Well, happy new year."

"Boss, happy Chinese New Year."

"Well, happy new year."

Henry Zhang casually responded to these people who greeted him.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Li Ling directly called all the people in the studio to the conference room for a meeting.

The main thing is to adjust the mentality of everyone in the studio, and then formulate a development plan for the new year, as well as various tasks that need to be done after the new year.

"...This year, the studio is temporarily planning to invest in three movies and two TV series. Among them, the script of the first movie has been confirmed. Let Yang Mi act as the heroine. The movie will start shooting in March..."

Yang Mi was very excited when she heard the news. Although Zhang Yuxuan had already told Yang Mi years ago that the studio would make a heroine movie for her after the next year, the news was not confirmed for a day. Yang Mi My heart was not very at ease for a day.Now, it was mentioned in the meeting room at the opening of the year, so her leading heroine movie has been decided.How could Yang Mi be unhappy.

And Liu Yan also had a flash of envy in her eyes when she heard that Yang Mi was to act in Li Ling's leading heroine movie.

Although because of the variety show "Run, Brother", her popularity is getting higher and higher, and she even went straight to the front line.

But, as an actor, um, Liu Yan's positioning for herself.

As an actor, film and television works are the most important. The popularity gained from participating in variety shows is empty after all. If there is no excellent work, it may sink directly after a few years.

"...In addition, in the second movie "The Unknown Man" invested by the studio, our boss and Shen Teng and Zhang Yi will play the male lead, and Liu Yan will be the female lead."

When Liu Yan heard this sentence, she immediately beamed with joy. Although Li Ling in "The Unknown" did not claim to be the main heroine, but the leading actor is Zhang Yuxuan, which means that the movie will definitely be a big hit.As the heroine of Zhang Yuxuan's movie, her income may not be worse than that of Yang Mi in the movie with the leading heroine.

"...Then, there is also the director, our studio's director is still too lacking, so in the future, our studio must attract at least one famous director, and then we are looking for one to three new directors. used to cultivate..."

Under the auspices of Li Ling, one order after another was arranged.

Zhang Yuxuan's studio started to run at a very high speed.
