Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 205 Screening
Don't think that Zhang Yuanjun's reputation as the number one student in the mainland is so good.

In the eyes of international giants like Mercedes-Benz, Zhang Yuanjun is their tool man.

Pay attention to it, but if you want Mercedes-Benz to change its marketing strategy or upgrade Zhang Yuanjun's contract, don't even think about it.

Benz even suspected that Zhang Yuanjun directed and acted the play himself.

Can't you afford a Mercedes-Benz?

But Mercedes won't do that.

They had a two-hour meeting overnight, and the coping strategy they came up with was only four words - let it go.

Just let Zhang Yuanjun drive his Volvo around the world, Mercedes-Benz doesn't care at all.

And judging from the information communicated so far, Zhang Yuanjun bought this Volvo before and after his graduation last year. According to the news of the past year, this car has a high appearance rate, and there should be no threat of Zhang Yuanjun directing and acting himself.

Besides, how can there be such a stupid person who signs a contract on the first day and plays this game the next day, without pretending for a few days?

Since Benz doesn't care, Zhang Yuanjun has nothing to say, so what should happen or what should happen.

So much so that a week later, Zhang Yuanjun saw the Mercedes-Benz related staff again because of the commercial shooting, and both parties tacitly did not mention this matter.

This advertisement is said to be a blockbuster, but it is actually a product. As the spokesperson, Zhang Yuanjun only needs to sit and talk.

Zhang Yuanjun was sitting in their 4S store, sitting opposite a person, and then read his lines:
"You can't resist this kind of attraction. Wow, the feeling of cornering is so beautiful. It's full of power and handy. It's just so perfect. We seem to be integrated. Don't you believe it? You can try it too." Said After finishing, Zhang Yuanjun put a key on the table.

Zhang Yuanjun read this passage five times to facilitate later editing, so it was counted.

It took only 20 minutes from when Zhang Yuanjun sat down to when he was finished.

"Okay, it's over." The commercial director shouted.

After filming the video commercial, Zhang Yuanjun will also shoot promotional posters outdoors with the real car.

All the shooting work was completed within one day. The brand told Zhang Yuanjun that the advertisement would be launched nationwide after the National Day, and the new car would be launched in November. Zhang Yuanjun would then need to be on site to stand for the brand.

On the 23rd, the penultimate day of the Shanghai Film Festival, Zhang Yuanjun finally came to Shanghai.

Since the opening of the film festival on the 16th, Zhang Yuanjun has had no time to look around in the capital. He came here today for nothing else. "Buried Alive" will be screened at the film festival. As the leading actor, he must be present.

The movie tickets were snatched up by Zhang Yuanjun's fans three days ago.

Many colleagues will also go to the screening site to watch the movie today. This is the first appearance of "Buried Alive" in China, and the colleagues are curious about why this 20-year-old young man breaks into Hollywood.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the film screening started on time.

Zhang Yuanjun sat in the front row, with Jackie Chan on the left, film director Rodrigo Cortez on the right, and insiders such as Fan Bingbing and Huang Xiaoming in the past.

The feeling of watching himself acting is not very good, it is very awkward, so he feels uncomfortable sitting there, and from time to time he finds Huatou to strike up a conversation with Jackie Chan.

Jackie Chan naturally saw the reason for his fidgeting, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about you, I still feel awkward watching myself acting on the screen now. I think I can act better, and I wonder if a different way of handling it will be effective. It will be better. But I’m not as serious as you are now, don’t worry, this feeling will get smaller and smaller if you act more.”

After Jackie Chan finished speaking, he began to watch "Buried Alive", discussing it with Zhang Yuanjun in a low voice while watching.

When director Rodrigo Cortes saw his idol Jackie Chan, he had no chance to strike up a conversation.

Jackie Chan even joked: "I can actually play such a role."

In terms of age, it is not impossible for the 53-year-old Jackie Chan to play "Buried Alive". This movie has no age requirements for the protagonist.

But Zhang Yuanjun said: "The audience all over the world wants to see you fight."

Jackie Chan smiled, and asked him how he came up with the idea of ​​"Buried Alive".

Zhang Cheng and Zhang Cheng were whispering to each other, while Huang Xiaoming beside Jackie Chan was scratching his head.

After finally sitting with Brother Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan only talked to Zhang Yuanjun.He can only focus on the big screen.

Although Zhang Yuanjun is his junior, 8 years younger than him, according to media reports, both of them are niche actors.

There is strong competition.

Just like the endorsement of Mercedes-Benz a while ago, Mercedes-Benz considered him, but finally chose Zhang Yuanjun.

Pushing forward, Pepsi endorsement in April, Pepsi also considered him and Zhang Yuanjun at the same time, but this time he won.

Huang Xiaoming watched Zhang Yuanjun's performance in "Buried Alive", and he was shocked. This scene was filmed last year, and Zhang Yuanjun was 21 years old.

Huang Xiaoming asked himself that when he was 21 years old, he couldn't act like he is now on the big screen. The physical manifestation of that sense of despair is too real.

It was as if Zhang Yuanjun was really trapped and died in that coffin.

This is of course due to the director's shooting of this sense of reality, but also to see the actors' performance of this sense of reality.

However, Huang Xiaoming was shocked, but he didn't feel that he was inferior to Zhang Yuanjun at all. He thought to himself: "Give me time to prepare, and I will be no worse than him in this kind of play."

But he had a very struggling question in his heart: "If such a role is given to me, can I sacrifice my image like him and make myself ashamed?"

Zhang Yuanjun made his debut with Guihai, and then Yang Guo, both of whom are handsome guys, also attracted the first batch of fans for Zhang Yuanjun, but Zhang Yuanjun turned his head and didn't want to look good after that, playing a not so good-looking Li Jiahui, in "Buried Alive" Going one step further, John Yong is a disheveled and very embarrassing character. When he breaks down emotionally, he has a lot of snot and tears, and he has no image at all.

Huang Xiaoming was asking himself whether he could abandon his image and play this kind of role.

He didn't know how to answer himself.

The 95-minute movie was screened quickly, and the audience at the scene showed great respect and gave warm applause.

In the short sharing after the screening, the reporter first asked director Rodrigo Cortez what preparations he had made for "Buried Alive".

Rodrigue told reporters through a translator: "We made 7 very unique coffins in the preparation stage, each of which was prepared for the convenience of camera shooting. We have worked hard for these 7 coffins. And Zhang Before the filming started, he locked himself in a small secret room, lacking water and food, and just spent a week like this, just to find John Yong’s feeling of being trapped in a coffin, Zhang paid a lot for this film.”

In the audience, many people including Huang Xiaoming understood it.

"With such a role, I can do it too." More than one actor in the audience thought so.

In China, it is Zhang Yuanjun’s home game, and he must be the main player. Rodrigo Cortez also understands that he kept exaggerating Yuanjun at the exchange meeting: “He is a very good actor, and he will definitely break out in Hollywood. own business."

Of course Zhang Yuanjun has to praise it back. Although he is an investor and a leading actor, no one can deny the director's credit.

"Will "Buried Alive" be introduced into China?"

Zhang Yuanjun really asked about this, but he still said: "It should be screened in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan first. I don't know yet when it will be released in the mainland."

As an actor, he doesn't need to answer the issue of distribution and screening. For domestic screenings, China Film and Huayi will naturally have to worry about it.

However, the domestic release of "Buried Alive" did encounter some resistance.

After the "Buried Alive" event ended, Zhang Yuanjun left the stage, and he will not participate in tomorrow's closing ceremony, because he has already received a notification from Yu Feihong that the rainy season in Yunnan Province is over, and the crew is going to return to Yunnan Province to start production.
