The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 569 Shameful
The China TV Golden Eagle Awards is held every two years.

Since 2006, each year a new generation female star who has emerged as a rising star in the field of TV dramas in the past two years, who has a youthful, beautiful image and is extremely popular, will be selected to serve as the Golden Eagle Goddess.

In early August, the 8th China TV Golden Eagle Awards officially launched the public voting campaign for the Golden Eagle Goddess.

The shortlisted list includes Liu Shishi, Tang Yan, Yang Mi, Zheng Shuang, and Tong Liya
On the night when the voting entrance was opened, with the help of fans, Liu Shishi ranked first with an absolute advantage.

"Little lions, go, go!"

"Tuoba Yu'er is so handsome, I'll vote for him too!"

"Hey, there's no one who can fight."

"."

On the bus to Capital Airport.

Assistant Wang Lifan keeps an eye on the rankings and online comments.

Currently, Liu Shishi ranks first and Tang Yan ranks second.

Neither Liu Shishi herself nor her peers in the industry were surprised that she had suddenly become the number one.

Well, it was actually a bit surprising. The number of votes was so high that some agencies bought press releases for her to question whether she had rigged the votes, but they were quickly retorted by rational netizens.

After all, Liu Shishi's popularity has been rising since last year's "Startling by Each Step", and everyone has seen it.

Combined with several movies released consecutively this year, "Out of Time" still ranks second in the domestic box office.

Among the actresses born in the 1980s, her acting skills are not the best, but her popularity is unquestionable.

Tang Yan ranked second mainly because of the hit drama "Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky".

After the drama was broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV, it received very good ratings at the beginning. Although the word of mouth was not good, three characters were highly discussed.

They are the villain Yuwen Tuo played by Hu Can, Tuoba Yuer played by Liu Shishi, and Dugu Ningke played by Tang Yan.

Dugu Ningke's several looks are all in the style of a cool and domineering lady, which is quite consistent with Tang Yan's temperament and attracted the attention of a large number of fans.

Therefore, Tang Yan followed closely behind.

Wang Li continued to scroll the screen and saw gossip articles about Deng Chao and Jiang Yiyan indulging in a lonely night, as well as news about the crew of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

Just as I was about to click in to take a look, I heard an excited voice coming from Liu Shishi's phone.

"In the name of the Holy Sword, charge!"

From the moment she got on the bus, Liu Shishi had been sitting in the back seat, fiddling with her cell phone, without stopping.

She was curious and tilted her head to take a look.

I saw a canyon similar to the one in League of Legends, with several little guys fighting in the middle lane and throwing out fancy skills.

Liu Shishi controlled a ruffian wearing golden armor, with a circle of unknown things around him. He charged forward with a sword. Halfway through the charge, a pink fox suddenly appeared in the haystack next to him and used a set of skills to accurately hit the ruffian.

The ruffian stood still, then was beaten up by the group of people. He fell to the ground and the screen went black.

"You have been slain!"

Wang Li blinked. What does that mean? Didn’t he always say that he was very good at playing games?
"Huh!" Liu Shishi's chest rose and fell. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "You bastard, you bastard. You are a 1.8-meter-tall man, but you only know how to play with Daji all day long. If you have the ability, you should fight head-on. You always hide in the bushes and launch sneak attacks. You are so shameless."

"We clearly agreed that no one is allowed to hide in the bushes. I'm so pissed off!!!" Miss Liu blew up her bangs, furious and helpless: "What a crappy game, what a crappy game. I'm so pissed off."

Wang Li didn't understand what was going on. Just as she was about to ask, she shut up immediately when she saw the golden-haired man resurrected from the spring.

Seeing that his crystal tower had only a trace of blood left, the reckless man shouted loudly and launched another charge without hesitation.

Unfortunately, as soon as he stepped out of the fountain, he was immobilized by the skill of the fox who had been waiting for a long time, and then he had to watch the crystal tower shatter.

"Defeat!"

"Ahhh!" Liu Shishi leaned her head against the front seat, whimpering and her chest ached with anger.

Wang Li was not surprised by this, so she waited until she finished going crazy before asking, "What kind of game is this?"

Liu Shishi didn't have time to reply. She opened WeChat, her fingers turned into afterimages, and she typed on the virtual keyboard to her boyfriend.

Wang Li glanced at him and said that Lu Yuan was not allowed to choose Daji again, otherwise she would not play, and the other party was forced to agree.

It turns out that the fox hero was called Daji, she muttered to herself.

Liu Shishi's mood gradually calmed down at this moment. He explained to her while typing: "It's a mobile game made by his brother-in-law. It's currently in the testing stage and has not yet been named."

"Is it fun?"

"Hmm." Liu Shishi paused and said, "It's OK. The heroes in it are all historical or mythical figures. Apart from the occasional lag and bugs, the only problem is that some people are too annoying. A 1.8-meter-tall guy plays Daji."

Well, she let it go again.

Wang Li listened to her mumbling without interrupting her.

Liu Shishi muttered for a while, rolled his eyes, and tried to pull her into the trap: "Lily, do you want to play? I'll send you a data package."

Although Lu Yuan's skills were not very good at the beginning, he grew rapidly under her training/bullying.

The most important thing is that after this guy learned to hide in the bushes, he could always appear from unexpected positions like a ghost. With one skill, he could freeze her, and then a group of big men would emerge from the bushes and confront her face to face.

Her boyfriend is too cunning and she can't handle it, so she wants to find someone else to bully.

"Okay, okay."

Wang Li had no idea that she was about to fall into the tiger's mouth.

She happily agreed, recalling: "Is this the game that was said to be promoted in "My Love from the Star"?"

"Correct!"

This was the first time Wang Li heard of using film and television dramas to promote games, and she didn’t know what the effect would be.

Seeing Liu Shishi started a new game, she moved closer and leaned against her shoulder.

"There are so many heroes. I chose this one. Xiang Yu looks very tough."

"No, Xiang Yu, no harm."

"Why, isn't Xiang Yu the Overlord of Western Chu?" Wang Li wondered: "Forget it, this one, Zhao Yun, went in and out seven times."

"No, I will give them a taste of their own medicine!" Liu Shishi chose Daji in an instant.

Entering the game loading interface, she looked at the hero Zhen Ji chosen by the enemy camp and felt something was wrong.

Hengdian, the hotel where the crew of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" stayed.

The total investment for this drama is 1.06 million yuan, and the entire crew has a total of people.

As the leading male actor, Lu Yuan received a salary of 1500 million yuan. He participated in the film by investing in the company, holding 14% of the shares, and will receive dividends in proportion in the future.

Therefore, Yuanfang Media is also one of the producers.

When Lu Yuan got off the car, he looked at the crowd in front of the hotel and was a little surprised.

In the past, when he joined the crew, no matter how many times he was asked to not come out to greet him, every time he arrived, there would still be a lot of people standing in front of the hotel.

He originally thought that given Zhou Xinchi's personality and style of doing things, he would not do such a thing.

Unexpectedly, the box office influence of "Lost in Thailand" was so great that even Zhou Xinchi, known as the "Star Master", was not immune to it.

"Finally I've waited for you." Zhou Xinchi opened his arms, strode over and gave him a warm hug.

Lu Yuan smiled and hugged him: "We were delayed on the road for a while."

As he spoke, he nodded to the people behind Zhou Xinchi. Most of the team members this time were from Hong Kong, and he was not very familiar with them.

Several actors with more roles did their homework in advance, such as Shu Qi, who deleted her Weibo post due to netizens' criticism of the "Zhao Zhen incident", and Cheng Sihan, who played Master Xuanzang.
After exchanging pleasantries, they turned around and went into the hotel.

Opposite Lu Yuan's room is Zhou Xinchi, and next door are Shu Qi and Huang Bo.

He put away his suitcase, went to the bathroom to wash his face, took out his cell phone to reply to Liu Shishi's message. He didn't know how much time had passed when he heard someone knocking on the door.

Huang Bo appeared with a wrinkled face.

Lu Yuan made way and raised his eyebrows: "Why didn't I see you just now?"

Huang Bo walked into the room without paying attention and sank into the sofa: "I arrived a little earlier than you. I went to visit the crew next door."

"Which one?"

"The Four, Part Two."

"So that's it." Lu Yuan suddenly realized.

"The Four" grossed over 100 million yuan, and Guangguang immediately gathered the original crew to shoot the sequel, also in Hengdian.

Although the film was widely panned when it was released, it at least made back its investment and the filming can continue smoothly.

However, unlike in the past, Chen Jiashang did not follow the routine to shoot just one sequel, but instead filmed the second and third parts of "The Four" at the same time and will release them separately.

This operation is called double shooting in the industry and is more popular in Hollywood.

"I'll go there in a couple of days."

Lu Yuan remembered that he had a classmate in the crew next door who seemed to be having an unpleasant experience with the second female lead.

Huang Bo smiled and talked about the gossip he heard during the visit: "When I went there, I also saw Sun Li, and her face didn't look too good."

"What?" Lu Yuan turned around and looked at him, guessing: "Could it be Deng Chao?"

Huang Bo nodded slightly: "I didn't ask, I just heard from people at the scene that it was because Deng Chao and Jiang Yiyan were too close on the set, and Sun Li found out and came to question them."

"Jiang Yiyan again?" Lu Yuan was speechless. Actors don't work hard to improve their professional skills, but do these messy things all day long.

As they were talking, there was another knock on the door.

It was a little girl, about four or five years old, with a cute look. She tilted her head and said in a baby voice, "Brother, the director said."

"What did the director say?" Lu Yuan smiled gently.

The little girl "spoke" to the director for a long time but couldn't explain what was behind it. She jumped anxiously and looked to the left.

"What's your name?" Lu Yuan asked again.

"My name is Zhang Yuwen, and I'm 5 years old." The little girl introduced herself fluently.

Lu Yuan rubbed her head and was about to continue asking when Huang Bo leaned out from behind him.

"Little sister, what did the director say?"

When the little girl saw that his face was full of wrinkles when he smiled, she was so scared that she took a step back, lowered her head, and ran away timidly without saying a word.

Huang Bo was suddenly embarrassed and doubted his life: "What does she mean?"

"That's what you think."

"That's impossible. This has never happened before?"

"Who were you around before?"

"Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Guan Hu..."

"Brother Bo." Lu Yuan patted his shoulder and comforted him: "There is no harm without comparison."

Huang Bo punched him: "Fuck you."

Lu Yuan was joking with him when he saw Stephen Chow walking over with the little girl in his arms.

"The director said to invite my brother and uncle downstairs to eat and wash the car for the wedding." The little girl fell into Zhou Xinchi's arms, noticed Uncle Huang Bo's troubled old face, and turned her head away.

"It's a welcoming party." Zhou Xinchi seemed to like this girl very much and introduced her, "This is the little actress I found specially. She plays the girl in the fishing village in the script. Actually, your niece is also quite suitable, but it's a pity that you didn't agree."

Lu Yuan shrugged his shoulders. Forget about Zhou Yaoyao. She is just a silly kid and there is no need to expose her to the camera.

Well, shame.

"We have booked a private room downstairs. Teacher Huang Bo will come with us."

"it is good."

On August 8, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" started filming in Hengdian.

After the worship ceremony, Zhou Xinchi took Lu Yuan to be interviewed by reporters.

"Lost in Thailand" officially ended theaters yesterday with a total box office of 13.29 billion yuan.

Xu Zheng took his wife and children to travel abroad to avoid the limelight, Wang Baoqiang also disappeared, and only this guy joined the crew to film.

Even if Zhou Xinchi wanted to start filming in a low-key manner, the hundreds of reporters who had gathered in Hengdian early would not allow it. Rather than letting them take secret photos and affect the operation of the crew, he simply accepted the interview openly.

At the beginning of the interview, Lu Yuan and Zhou Xinchi were surrounded by reporters, and a reporter from NetEase asked a rather sharp question.

"Lu Yuan, first of all, congratulations on Lost in Thailand reaching 13 billion at the box office. Regarding the controversy online caused by Lost in Thailand surpassing the box office of American blockbusters Transformers 3, Titanic, and Avatar, what do you want to say to everyone?"

The success of "Lost in Thailand" is surprising, but there are always some people who like to sing a different tune and express different opinions in a sensational way.

Especially after the box office surpassed "Titanic", this phenomenon became more and more obvious, and social platforms such as Tieba and Zhihu were filled with similar remarks.

For example, this time "Lost in Thailand" defeated the seriousness of "Titanic" with comedy, which is quite embarrassing and not something to be happy about.

Or: To test whether a comedy movie is truly good, one must first see whether people are still willing to watch it 20 years later, and secondly, see whether it can still be popular in a different cultural environment.

In short, after the box office of "Lost in Thailand" surpassed American blockbusters such as "Titanic", it seemed like a mistake, causing a bunch of demons and monsters to jump out and criticize it.

On the day when the crew started filming, Lu Yuan didn't want to mention "Lost in Thailand", but seeing that the reporters kept on asking, he had to clear his throat.

"Lost in Thailand's box office success is due to the support of the audience. Its current success is beyond our expectations, but domestic films have been improving. It is inevitable that the box office will surpass that of American blockbusters. It will not be just Lost in Thailand, but other films will break this record in the future. There is nothing to dispute."

"What do you think of the view that it is a shame that the comedy of Lost in Thailand defeated the seriousness of Titanic?"

"Funny? Serious? Embarrassing?" Lu Yuan smiled and looked at the crowd of reporters in front of him with a slightly sarcastic tone.

“The Western film industry has been developing for hundreds of years, how long has it been since China started?
Now, I have a domestic comedy film in my own home, which has surpassed Hollywood blockbusters in box office without any stealing or robbery. What a proud thing it is. There is nothing to be ashamed of.

What I don't understand is why we have to compare domestic comedies with Hollywood blockbusters instead of comparing Hollywood comedies released in China with "Lost in Thailand"?
It's 2012 now, be confident, hold your head high and look forward, don't dwell on the past, it's shameful to stand still."

Zhou Xinchi was also being interviewed nearby, but he kept some of his attention on him and looked over when he heard this.

Lu Yuan went on to say: "The rise of domestic films is unstoppable. The imperfect Lost in Thailand has made a good start with the support of the audience. I believe there will be more types of films that will surpass Titanic. Let's wait and see."

Lu Yuan finished speaking and interrupted the reporter's follow-up questions: "Okay, this is the crew of Journey to the West. Please return to this play for the next questions."

"About the box office of Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"
