Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 320: Discussing the young lady’s sense of CP

Although Liu Yifei passed the first difficulty of officially announcing her relationship with "Inception".

But there are still many people in the industry waiting to see her jokes.

So what if the reputation is temporarily stabilized by a Hollywood blockbuster? If there is no success in the first step of releasing the movie after the official announcement, it will still return to its prototype.

Compared with male artists, the negative impact of official announcements on female artists is always greater.

A low-budget romance film with an unknown Luo Jin dares to enter the Spring Festival stalls?
Many artists in the same track are waiting to see "Introduction to Architecture" lose both reputation and box office.

Word of mouth from media venues and screenings is useless. Everyone knows that this kind of screening venue can only say good things and not give negative reviews.

Although Liu Yifei has stabilized the situation, it is undeniable that she has indeed lost a lot of fans.

It is generally believed that not so many people are paying for her anymore.

Moreover, "Introduction to Architecture" is the lowest-cost film released during the Spring Festival in February. It can be said that few people are optimistic about "Introduction to Architecture". At most, they think this film can break even. If Liu Yifei wants to make a comeback, she will have to watch her and Xiao Li in six months. The movie they collaborated on.

In fact, these people's analysis is not wrong.

Indeed, despite "Inception", Liu Yifei still lost a lot of fans and gained a lot of negative fans.

However, they missed an important aspect.

The most powerful thing about Liu Yifei is not how many fans she has, but her nationality comparable to that of Zhao Yanzi - she has a huge audience of passers-by.

Film and television works, as mass communication products, are not only for celebrity fans, but also for the general public.

The number of fans is far less than that of passers-by.

Many subsequent works deviated from this communication principle and were only photographed for fans to see. This is another topic that we will discuss later.

Only if you can persuade ordinary viewers who don't follow celebrities or pay attention to entertainment stars to buy tickets and enter the theater can you be considered real.

And Liu Yifei has exactly this ability.

Not only does she have a large number of fans, she also has a huge popularity among passers-by.

Even if they are not star-chasing, many passers-by know that "it's the little dragon girl." "That girl is quite beautiful."

Therefore, "Introduction to Architecture" bucked the market trend and sold RMB 820 million on the first day of the Lunar New Year, shocking everyone's jaws!
Isn’t the film market reasonable anymore?
You must know that Jackie Chan's "Little Soldier" only cost 1300 million US dollars, and the investment in this film can be as high as 1500 million US dollars.

Why did "Introduction to Architecture" with a total investment of 1700 million get 820 million on the first day!

This result is destined that "Introduction to Architecture" will not lose money, and will definitely make a profit. If it is not guaranteed, it can bring investors a lot of profits.

Moreover, the film has a good reputation. Although there are criticisms about the film on Weibo, most of them are positive:
"Although it's a bit bloody, it's acceptable. It's quite comfortable to watch a heartwarming romance movie during the Chinese New Year."

"Idol drama level service, but fortunately the story is okay. Liu Yifei is indeed beautiful."

“I was dragged to see it by my girlfriend, and I thought it was surprisingly good.”

Douban has not released scores, but one of the short comments has the highest number of likes:
"It's worth buying the ticket, but it's not good at all. Although the two tried their best to show the ambiguity and heartbeat of that age in the campus romance part, I just don't believe that Liu Yifei will fall in love with Luo Jin."

The implication is that these two have no sense of camaraderie together.

There are many similar comments. While they affirm the movie, they say they don't believe that the two people on the screen are having an affair.

Pan Yueming and Wu Yue did not perform as well as the middle-aged characters. "These two showed the hesitation and withdrawal of middle-aged people in the face of relationships very well."

This kind of comment has little impact on the film's performance, but it hurts the actor himself.

If you play a couple and the audience doesn't believe that you two are a couple, this is tantamount to saying that the actors are not acting well.

Assistant Liu Yifei has a task: collecting negative reviews from netizens for her boss.

The assistant reported this issue to Liu Yifei, and she was also reflecting on it during the road show.She asked herself, she was devoted when she acted and did not slack off at all.

She believed that Luo Jin was like this at that time.

But the audience just didn't believe that these two were a couple.

A sensible fan mentioned an angle that inspired Liu Yifei: "I see that the photos reporters usually take of Liu Yifei and Zhang Yuanjun are very good. I believe they are very happy together, but in the play, I don't believe Liu Yifei and Luo Jin." They’re a couple.”

The answer that came to Liu Yifei's mind was: "Is it because we show off our affection too much that the audience doesn't believe in the couple played by me and other actors?"

This is one reason, but not the main reason.

As her boyfriend, Zhang Yuanjun felt strange analyzing this issue for her.

"Oh, just say it." Liu Yifei asked him to just say it.

Zhang Yuanjun thought about the wording, organized the words in his mind and said, "I am a bit narcissistic when I say this."

"You tell me." Liu Yifei wanted to know how the Cannes Best Actor would analyze her character.

"Because except for me, when you face other male actors, you will not send a sexual message to them as a woman."

"What do you mean?" Liu Yifei half understood.

"That is to say, whether you are with Luo Jin or with other actors, although you are trying hard to play his girlfriend, and you are trying your best to convince yourself that he is my boyfriend, he is my boyfriend, but deep down in your heart you still You know that the other person is not me, so you will not radiate love to the other person that is directed towards your spouse. Can you understand this?"

Liu Yifei nodded, but then said: "But I was dedicated on the set."

"It's not that you're not committed, but it's a matter of your temperament." Zhang Yuanjun continued, "I've seen your behind-the-scenes. You have an advantage in filming emotional scenes, but it's also the key to your problem, which is that you show up. too fast.

"You were flirting with an actor a second ago, and you pulled out immediately when the director shouted, "What does that mean? It means that deep down, you don't actually believe that the other person is your partner."

Liu Yifei laughed and said, "As a boyfriend, you are analyzing whether your girlfriend is a bit perverted if she doesn't invest in emotional scenes."

"I'm just analyzing it from a technical perspective, don't you listen?" So Zhang Yuanjun would feel it would be awkward to analyze the shortcomings of Liu Yifei's emotional scenes.

"Listen, listen, you continue."

"This gives people the impression that you really don't love the other person. If you go back and analyze the way you look at Luo Jin, you still treat him as a friend or a classmate. The message you are sending is, 'This is my good friend. I like to play with him' instead of 'I like him and I want to be with him'. You will only give me this kind of look." After talking about it, Zhang Yuanjun was very disgusting.

There is a deeper reason that Zhang Yuanjun did not say.

Liu Yifei's temperament has a natural sense of alienation from the outside world, which is why she cannot form a CP with others.

This sense of alienation will not dissipate when she plays a couple with others, and it is difficult for rival actors to integrate into her aura.

Take the original "Three Lives Three Worlds" as an example. In that ramen scene, when she looked at Yang Yang, she felt like she was looking at a fool.

Let’s talk about the drama between her and Chai’er. She acted like Chai’er’s sister. Facing Chai’er, her eyes seemed to say, “Can you please stop making trouble?”

This sense of alienation comes from her appearance and temperament, but also from her early experiences.

Her rich and bumpy youth experience made her impatient with the opposite sex when she grew up.

Therefore, she instinctively refused to emit female mating pheromones to male actors other than Zhang Yuanjun. Without this kind of pheromones, she would naturally not look like a couple with other male actors.

In other words, it is difficult for this sister to "feel in love because of drama" or "pretend to be real".

"Is there any way to solve this problem?" Liu Yifei asked her boyfriend for advice.

"I haven't thought of it for the moment. How about you try switching to Methodism and Expressionism?

"How about you just play a couple with me from now on?"
