Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 181 "Night Banquet"

In the process of promoting the new album, Liu Yifei will inevitably be asked about Brother Hu's car accident.

From here, we can see that Liu Yifei's management team is not professional, or Liu Yifei's "heart of stone".

When asked about Brother Hu's car accident, her performance was very amateurish, and it seemed that she was not prepared enough.

She faltered and said: "I sent him some text messages of blessings, because I didn't want to go...uh... I hope he can recover from his illness and don't want to disturb him too much."

"Then did you keep in touch after filming "Sword"?" The reporter asked again.

Liu Yifei just said: "Because everyone is really busy..."

The reporter wisely took this issue aside without delving into it.

Even if you say some beautiful polite words on this occasion, you must tell the truth.

It is because Tang Ren has been firing the CPs of Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger that Liu Yifei had to keep a distance from Brother Hu.

In August, an talent show called "The Man in a Dream of Red Mansions" became popular.

This is an actor selection event held for the new version of "Dream of Red Mansions". There are very high calls for Liu Yifei to play Daiyu on the Internet.

Liu Yifei denied it at the publicity scene: "I haven't received an invitation. I won't fight for this role for the time being, it's purely a rumor."

When asked about the arrangements other than the new album, Liu Yifei said: "My part in "Animal World" has already been finished, and there are still some commercials to be filmed in the next few months. I don't plan to join the group for the time being, and there are still many things to learn. "

She planned to go to the theater to report after the album promotion, and then learn acting from the theater teacher.

…………

The word of mouth of the premiere of "The Banquet" in Venice has spread back to China.

Audiences in Venice generally reacted as "movie-like".

"Hamlet" is too famous in the West.

"The story is not difficult to understand, it is easy to see that it is based on Shakespeare's "Hamlet", but all in all it is not particularly exciting."

"No matter in terms of plot or structure, "The Banquet" is too Westernized, and it feels strange to be mixed with the background of ancient China. If the setting of the background is removed, it is difficult to see that this is a Chinese movie."

Does this mean that Feng Xiaogang filmed "Hamlet", but Western audiences did not buy it?

After returning to China, the crew of "Night Banquet" held a national tour and visited places such as Yangcheng, Lin'an, Fengtian and Chang'an, and then held the world premiere in Beijing.

The next day, the main creators appeared in Shanghai to create momentum for the film.

Ordinarily, the film promotion task is so heavy, it should be very busy, but at 10:[-] in the evening, Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Xun actually appeared in the studio of "Animal World", led by Wang Zhonglei.

The production crew has not closed work yet, and the two of them will not be out of luck.

"Didn't disturb your filming?" Wang Zhonglei, Xu Ke and others greeted.

"No, no." Xu Ke warmly shook hands with the three of them.

Although Huayi didn't invest in "Animal World", but from others' point of view, it can't drive people out.

Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Yuanjun have met a few times, and they are considered acquainted, but not familiar.

But this junior's grades are really good!

After the two TV series, there was a male lead in a theater movie that hit 5400 million.

Let alone Huang Xiaoming, any young actor would be jealous of this result.

Don't care whether it's pretending or nature, Huang Xiaoming is really warm and thoughtful.

Zhang Yuanjun and him were at best nodding acquaintances, but he was very active towards him in the studio, and those who didn't know thought they were good friends for more than ten years.

"How do you play this game?" Huang Xiaoming held the crew's prop card.

"It's just playing cards, like rock-paper-scissors, to win the stars in everyone's hands."

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple." The game of "Animal World" is still rock-paper-scissors, "However, when you and a group of people are locked in a room to play this kind of game, and the loser may die, this The game is not just a game, it will be more intense and exciting."

"I can't tell you about this game for a while. I'll invite you to watch the movie when it's released next year. You'll know after watching it." Zhang Yuanjun finally said, "It's not bad."

The three of Wang Zhonglei didn't stay for a long time, and left in about half an hour.

"There is a chance to work together." Wang Zhonglei said to Zhang Yuanjun in front of the crew.

It's just a polite remark, who would take it seriously.

After the three of Wang Zhonglei left, Xu Ke quickly organized people to film.

"Hurry up, take more pictures."

The performance of "The Banquet" will not be bad, and Feng Xiaogang's audience popularity is the best among mainland directors.

With more than ten years of word-of-mouth accumulation in the Lunar New Year file, audiences will buy tickets to enter the cinema when they see Feng Xiaogang.

Therefore, although the 1200 million score on the first day of "The Banquet" is amazing, it is actually expected.

1200 million, which is Feng Xiaogang's best first-day box office performance since he was a filmmaker.

It is also the best first-day result of all films released this year.

In order to attract more audiences to the theater, Huayi has adopted a new measure—every audience who buys a ticket and enters the theater can get a "red envelope" that deducts 60 yuan in cash from online shopping on a certain treasure, starting from the premiere of the movie 40 red envelopes will be given out in one month.

This trick seems to be promoting a movie, but it is actually promoting a certain treasure.

A certain treasure is really not popular now, and online shopping is not generally accepted by the public.

It is a good way to attract customers with the golden signboard of "Feng Xiaogang Movies", but I don't know how much a certain treasure will pay for the 60 yuan red envelope.

The movie has just been released, unless it is particularly bad, the word of mouth will last for two weeks. At that time, "The Promise" lasted for two weeks before the word of mouth collapsed.

The same goes for "Night Banquet".

The word-of-mouth of the film began to collapse after the second week.

Most of the first batch of viewers admitted that the film was good overall, but "this is a problem film".

Among the dozen or so viewers randomly interviewed by a certain magazine, most of them dare not say that this is a "good-looking" movie.

Professional film critics came out later, pointing directly at the problem of screenwriting.

"Bad screenwriters directly lead to bad lines. Some of those half-spoken, half-classical lines are disgusting, and some are hilarious. For example, "The Lonely Singer" is one of the "lonely singer". Such lines really make me suspect that this national first-level screenwriter has watched Qiong Yao and Yu Qiuyu too much.

The original script of "The Banquet" is called "The Prince of Swords", written by Qiu Gangjian. The teacher's masterpieces include: "Rouge Button", "Man in New York" and "Ruan Lingyu".

After the original script was handed over to Huayi, Feng Xiaogang wanted to adapt it, but Qiu disagreed, so Feng asked Sheng Heyu to write the script.

Sheng is also a great screenwriter in the mainland, and his masterpieces include: "Towards a Republic" and "Han Wudi" and so on.

The effect of the adapted script is not acceptable, but it cannot be said that it will be better to shoot according to the original script.

Looking at Qiu's previous scripts, his ideological and critical thinking is very good, even very pioneering.

But such a script cannot be sold for money, and it does not meet the needs of Huayi and Feng Xiaogang.

The problem of "The Banquet" can be summed up in one sentence. It is probably that the director's literary quality is not enough to bring Shakespeare's stories to Chinese screens.

Maybe Feng Xiaogang didn't think clearly.

Blockbusters are made to make money.

"Hero" and "The Promise" are nothing like this.

However, perhaps Feng Xiaogang wanted to prove himself too much in art, so "The Banquet" underestimated the story and its rhythm, and fell into the quagmire of formal aesthetics.

From "The Banquet", we can see Feng Xiaogang's twists and turns.

　I actually watched this movie, it's not very good, but it's not that bad.
