Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 218 I'm Ashamed
At this stage, the siphon effect produced by a blockbuster with a billion yuan is very terrifying.

"Animal World" strongly compressed the share of all other films in the same period, and it accounted for 70% of the film schedule.

On the 7th, the last day of the National Day holiday and the ninth day of the film’s release, statistics at noon showed that as of 6:11 p.m. on the 50th, the total national box office of “Animal World” officially broke through the 1.04 million mark, reaching [-] million.

This year's first domestic film with a box office of over [-] million was born.

Xu Ke became the sixth billionaire director club member in the Chinese film industry.

On the 10th, the first working day after the long holiday, the Film Bureau announced the holiday results of "Animal World" at [-] am:

"Animal World" was released for 9 days, with a total box office revenue of 1.14 million yuan, of which 17 million during the holiday.

The real national day champion!

"Animal World" broke [-] million. In addition to helping Xu Ke enter the [-] million-yuan directors club, it also helped the actors tremendously.

Especially the hero and heroine.

To be precise, both Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei are considered newcomers to film.

Two film newcomers have handed over a report card of more than [-] million yuan, and the industry needs to re-examine these two people.

Mercedes-Benz increased its advertising investment after the National Day, and announced on the afternoon of the 8th that it would present a new C-Class to Zhang Yuanjun, making him the first owner of the car in China.

Louis Vuitton also officially ended the inspection period for Zhang Yuanjun, and officially announced that he is a close friend of the brand in China—a title higher than the brand experience officer, which is better than nothing.

Liu Yifei was renewed for Yili Yogurt's advertising contract, and I heard that Coca-Cola is also approaching her.

Although the role of Huang Bo and Li Jun is not as eye-catching as the black skin in "The Stone", after all, he has a share in the box office of over [-] million yuan. This is not comparable to a "Stone".

After the National Day, the promotional pace of "Animal World" began to slow down. The 7-day holiday was enough to squeeze out 7% of "Animal World"'s box office.

The main creators now mainly focus on interviews, and it is enough for roadshows to travel to one city for a day or two.

Today, the hero and heroine of "Animal World" were interviewed by Cao Kefan in Beijing.

The title of this interview is: "Young and Promising, Interview with Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei".

"You two, we meet again." Cao Kefan greeted the two with a smile, and the camera had already started filming, "I saw the topic of our interview today, it is young and promising, both of you should belong to the young and promising of."

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said, "Yifei is, I am not."

Liu Yifei didn't even bother to talk to him.

Cao Kefan disagreed with Zhang Yuanjun's statement: "Yifei is, and so are you. You have achieved such results in one year after graduation, you must be considered young and promising."

Of course, what I want to talk about today is "Animal World", Cao Kefan said: "The box office of "Animal World" exceeded [-] million, is it expected?"

Zhang and Liu looked at each other, and Zhang Yuanjun motioned to Liu Yifei and said, "It seems a bit too loud to say that it is expected." Cao Kefan and Zhang Yuanjun did not expect you to speak like this.

But the two of them and the film crew didn't interrupt Liu Yifei. She continued: "Before the show, Mr. Ren said that it would exceed [-] million. He said that if he reached [-] million, he would give us red envelopes to break ice."

Cao Kefan said, "Both of you should be newcomers to the big screen, right?"

Liu Yifei fought back: "I am, he is not, he has already been shortlisted in Cannes."

Cao Kefan then said: "Yes, you have been shortlisted for Cannes, and "Animal World" is your first..."

"The third movie."

"Then you are not considered a newcomer. You have made three films, and one of them was shortlisted in Cannes."

"Then Yifei has four movies, and "The King of Kung Fu" is not broadcast."

"Then you also have four movies. "Love Has an Afterlife" was just completed last month."

Cao Kefan said: "But you have only graduated for a year."

"So we are indeed newcomers."

"So you are young and promising." Cao Kefan exaggerated, "What is the biggest change that "Animal World" has brought to you?"

Liu Yifei first said: "I don't think there are any major changes, but I feel that there are too many invitations."

Zhang Yuanjun said to her: "You are a full man who doesn't know a hungry man is hungry, and no one will answer the call if you want to."

Cao Kefan signaled Zhang Yuanjun to also talk about his changes.

"In addition to more invitations, there are also more people around me."

Cao Kefan grasped the topic keenly: "Who?"

"Good people." Zhang Yuanjun smiled meaningfully when he said this, "I now find that there are good people around me, and they all say good things."

"Isn't that bad?"

Zhang Yuanjun said: "Not very good."

"It's their job."

"right."

"Why do you think this is bad?" Cao Kefan asked Zhang Yuanjun, while Liu Yifei was also listening carefully.

"Actor is an 'emotional' profession." Zhang Yuanjun thought for a while and said, "You need to feel different feelings and emotions from the outside world. If people around me flatter me and say good things to me, I will feel that this is blocking me. Channels to get outside sentiment, I will be very wary of this.”

"You just don't enjoy the blessings." Liu Yifei said to him.

"No, it's really listening, watching, and feeling. In this aspect, being an actor is not a happy career."

Speaking of "Animal World", Cao Kefan asked Liu Yifei: "How did you get into the crew of "Animal World"?"

"I really have to thank him for this," Liu Yifei pointed to Zhang Yuanjun next to him, "Director Xu Ke chose him at the beginning, but later he approached Liu Qing and said that this role doesn't have many roles, so just find a young actress with a little experience. He recommended me, and he called me and told me, where are you coming, director Xu Ke wants to see you, so I went. After trying for a while, it’s settled if there is no problem.”

Liu Yifei's words are half true and half false. What she said is true, but she didn't say that the boss of this show is Zhang Yuanjun.

The three talked a lot about "Animal World", during which Cao Kefan asked a rather sharp question: "Do you mind if the audience says you have facial paralysis?"

Guihai Yidao has facial paralysis, and Zheng Kaisi's expression is not very rich, so some viewers said that Zhang Yuanjun has facial paralysis and no acting skills.

"I don't mind, because each character has its own idiosyncrasies, and each character should also accept criticism from the audience."

It is tiring to respond to such negative reviews. "Animal World" is really an excellent and refreshing movie now, and the score of over [-] million also proves the audience's recognition of it.

There is no need to waste saliva for a few bad reviews.

At the same time, Zhang Yuanjun is very cautious about this mentality, he is very worried that he will fall into the top-level self-confidence.

I feel that my acting is good, and I "just take a look at others' criticisms, but don't care too much".

Such confidence is very dangerous.

Sometimes it is really impossible to "just have a clear conscience", you must have a guilty conscience.

The three recorded for more than two hours before it ended.

"Thank you two such outstanding young people for accepting our interview today. We also hope that these two young and promising actors will contribute more wonderful and excellent film and television works to the audience in the future. Thank you both."

"Thank you." Zhang and Liu also thanked each other.
