Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 321
"Introduction to Architecture" has made a good start, but don't expect to win the Spring Festival championship.

After grossing 800 million on the first day, until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the movie had a box office of over 4000 million.

However, "Introduction to Architecture" affected the performance of another romance film during the Spring Festival - "Love in Love".

This movie is not a bad movie, but I am afraid of comparison in everything. If there were no "Introduction to Architecture", as the only romantic movie in the Spring Festival, "Love in the City" would be the only choice for many couples to watch movies during the Spring Festival.

However, against the background of "Introduction to Architecture", "Love in the City" except for the all-star cast, nothing else can compare with the former.

However, it would be naive to think that "Introduction to Architecture" can sell better than "Love in the City" in this way.

The film market has always been magical. A good story or good filming does not necessarily mean it will sell for money. Otherwise, making a film would be too easy.

With its all-star cast and a not-so-ugly story, "Love in the City" has also earned over 6000 million from the market since its release until the end of the Spring Festival holiday.

It seems that "Introduction to Architecture" was suppressed, but "Love in the City" took 6000 days to get 10 million, while "Introduction to Architecture" only took 4000 days to get 7 million, and the latter has a better reputation than the former.

Comparing the two, "Love in the City" is no better than "Introduction to Architecture".

A large part of the extra 2000 million for "Love in the City" is due to the first-mover advantage. Audiences who watched "Love in the City" will not watch "Introduction to Architecture" later.

Many viewers will only watch one movie of the same genre at the same time.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, Liu Yifei finished the promotion of "Introduction to Architecture" and returned to the capital.

The next day she devoted herself to preparations for the filming of "Space Traveler". She already knew that "Snow Leopard" would be completed in advance, and she wanted to grab as much time as possible from Zhang Yuanjun.

Facts have proved that "Introduction to Architecture" was not affected by the official announcement of the heroine's relationship and caused a decline in the box office.

The successful profit of "Introduction to Architecture" made Weibo Movies the first step for Internet companies to enter film and television production, and also allowed Xiaoma Pictures to successfully taste the sweetness of making movies.

Various production companies began to take a new look at Liu Yifei, believing that she also has the ability to attract audiences to buy tickets.

Suddenly, Liu Yifei returned to the public eye, and film contracts and scripts came like snowflakes.

Everyone knows that she will start filming a new drama in March, but there is currently no news in the industry about Liu Yifei’s plans after this drama.

So all the appointments are for her in the second half of the year, and some are even trying to knock down her schedule for next year.

Liu Yifei is very happy to have so many invitations and will read the scripts carefully when handed over.

For example, Forbidden City Pictures, a large company in Beijing, as a representative of the producer, invited her to star in "A Chinese Ghost Story" to play the heroine Nie Xiaoqian.

"Director Yip Wai-hing, Louis Koo as Yan Chixia, we have made a very big adaptation of "A Chinese Ghost Story", which will definitely give the audience a different feeling." This is the wording used by the producer of Forbidden City Pictures to try to persuade Liu Yifei.

But Liu Yifei chose to read the script first.

At the same time, Starlight International also contacted Liu Xiaoli and said that director Lu Chuan had previously told Liu Yifei that she would be asked to play the role of Yu Ji in "The Banquet at Hongmen". Liu Yifei agreed at the time, and now they are discussing the schedule and remuneration.

But when Liu Xiaoli told her daughter about the matter, Liu Yifei denied it: "I met Lu Chuan on the plane at that time. He said he wanted to ask me to play Yu Ji. I said I would read the script first, but I didn't agree to it."

Starlight International wants to eat Liu Yifei in one bite.

Liu Xiaoli did not break her skin and replied to the other party: "At that time, I only made a verbal commitment. If you want to formally sign the contract, please send us the script first. We can only reply to you after we read it."

Liu Xiaoli is also happy that her daughter can receive such a big drama.

Zhang Yuanjun is no less willing to give in. People in the industry know that his schedule for this year is full, but some people just don't give up and keep sending scripts to Zhang Yuanjun's studio.

China Film has tasted the sweetness of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" and wants to develop a "The Founding of the Party" to be released next year to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Party.

Found Zhang Yuanjun again.This time Zhang Yuanjun refused to do it no matter what: "I really don't have any spare time this year. Besides, who should I play if I go? I was used in "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", so you can use another batch of people for this drama." There are not a lot of people in the industry who want to act in this film."

I can't say Zhang Yuanjun, and Han Sanping doesn't force it. This film really should be filmed by a different group of people.

Zhongying couldn't talk, but Shangying thought he could talk.

Then he came to the door with "Revolution of [-]", which was also said to be released next year to commemorate the centenary of [-].

Has the conflict between China Film and Shanghai Film Group become irreconcilable?The last two movies were played openly.

Zhang Yuanjun, being a worldly person, did not accept the "Great Cause of Party Building", nor did he accept the "Revolution of [-]".

He also gave his schedule for this year to the visitor: "Look, do I have no time this year? I can adjust my schedule for next year when the group makes an appointment."

Two months later, Zhang Yuanjun's schedule for next year will be gone.

…………

The first starring actors in "Snow Leopard" to be completed were Tang Yan and Zhu Jie, who completed filming on the same day.

Two days later, Luo Jin and Lu Fangsheng finished filming.

Only then did Zhang Yuanjun realize that he was really about to finish filming another movie.

After Liu Yifei returned to the capital, she rested at home for two days. Even her luggage was moved to the hotel where the crew lived in Fengtai. While preparing for "Time Traveler", she was filming with Zhang Yuanjun.

Zhang Yuanjun was in drama that day and returned to the room at midnight. As soon as he poured himself some water, he saw Liu Yifei coming back: "Are you accompanying me? How can I see you all day long?"

Liu Yifei threw off her shoes twice and changed into slippers: "The filming of "Love Traveler" is about to start, and I have to meet the crew of the new drama. I'm back now."

"Shoes!" Zhang Yuanjun said.

Liu Yifei didn't listen to him, sat down, picked up the water Zhang Yuanjun had just poured and drank it.

Zhang Yuanjun stood up and put Liu Yifei's shoes away, and said, "Didn't "The Great Cause of Party Building" and "Revolution of [-]" come to you?"

"I've looked for it, but I looked at the roles and there's no one I can play." It seems that the casting team and the producers are only responsible for luring the stars. The specific arrangement of the roles is left to the director team. "I It’s also inappropriate to play the role of Queen Mother Longyu at this age.”

Zhang Yuanjun nodded, and Liu Yifei went on to tell her boyfriend about "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Hongmen Banquet", especially "Hongmen Banquet": "I was polite at that time, but he took it seriously. Did Lu Chuan find you?"

"I looked for him, but I said he came late. I have no time this year." Zhang Yuanjun used this reason to turn down many scenes.

It's hard for others to say anything, because he really doesn't have time this year.

Zhang Yuanjun could tell that his girlfriend was attracted to the characters Yu Ji and Nie Xiaoqian.

One is a famous beauty disaster in history, and the other is a remake of a classic image in film history, both of which are very challenging.

But Liu Yifei is tempted, and she still has her own thoughts: ""A Chinese Ghost Story" changed the story of Yan Chixia and Xiaoqian's childhood sweethearts, and then they turned against each other and Ning Caichen became a mistress. It challenges the existing perception. I'm worried about the audience. I won't buy it. "Hongmen Banquet" is a man's drama, and I, a woman, have no role in it."

There are aspects of both dramas that Liu Yifei didn't quite accept.

"Are you listening to me?" Zhang Yuanjun was looking at her, but she knew that he was already thinking about other things.

"Ah, I'm listening. I'm listening." Zhang Yuanjun was indeed dazed, but he was really listening to Liu Yifei.

What he was thinking about was: "Who said Liu Yifei can't choose movies? Isn't this very clear?"
