Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 398

Zhang Yuanjun originally thought that "Martial Arts" lacked virtue in marketing straw hats and straw sandals.

A $6000 straw hat is locked in a safe, and the hat follows Takeshi Kaneshiro wherever he goes.

A pair of straw sandals costs more than 3000, antique goods!
As long as the investment company is not blind, it will definitely be aware of the corruption of the crew.

But the crew of "Martial Arts" was stunned and still played this marketing card.

Later, Zhang Yuanjun realized that it wasn't that he didn't care, but that the investment company and the crew were also in the same group.

Does the money invested by the film company have to be the company’s own funds?

The arrogant marketing of "Martial Arts" is that the film company and the crew worked together to defraud investors of their money.

But the problem is that the market is too hot now, a lot of external funds want to enter the entertainment industry, and the audience is dazzled by the star cast. "Martial Arts" did this, not only was it not criticized, but it won a lot of praise for "paying attention to details" and "elaborately created" "Praise.

"Martial Arts" led the July release with 1400 million on its first day, but Chen Kexin's call for 7 million at the premiere seemed impossible.

Four days later, "The Alone" was released. It took in 4 million on the first day, setting a new record for domestic horror films. The cost of this film was only 770 million. With such results, profit is certain, and it is even possible to make a lot of money.

This is Yang Mi's first starring movie since the hit "Palace". Although it is a small-budget horror film, it is still not popular (horror movies are not popular in the Chinese-speaking market), but it is a great tribute to Yang Mi that it can achieve such good results. The most powerful manifestation of Mi’s personal fan appeal.

Most of the people who went to see this movie in the Mainland were fans of Yang Mi. You can't give the credit to the has-been Chen Xiaochun. Those people who work in theaters and distribution are not blind.

Damimi was officially born, pictured above.

But it seems that Yang Mi is very secretive about the movie and doesn't want to say more, and she doesn't put much effort into promoting it.

But none of this has anything to do with Zhang Yuanjun, because after more than a year of preparation, filming of "Her" finally started in Shanghai today!

Many reporters and fans came to the scene.

After all, this is the second collaboration between Zhang and Liu, and it is Liu Yifei’s first literary film.

But according to Liu Yifei's strong and unyielding character, she would not say that she was nervous when she acted in a literary film for the first time: "Literary films and commercial films have equally strict requirements for actors. All I can do is fulfill the duties of an actor and create my own figure."

A reporter asked him: "There is very little information about the character in "Her". Can you tell us what character you played?"

It's not that there is little information about the characters in "Her", it's that literary films naturally don't get attention, even if it stars Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei.

No one pays attention to it. Due to cost constraints, the crew will not invest too much in publicity before the film starts, and the media will naturally get less information.

Liu Yifei laughed and said: "This role is very challenging. It is a role that I have never thought of." But she still refused to disclose more information.

The reporter asked him: "Did Yuanjun help you in shaping your character?"

But Liu Yifei said: "This is my role, he can't help me much." Then she changed her tone and said in a joking tone, "But if I don't perform well, I will probably be laughed at by him."

"Then you can laugh at him," the reporter gave her an idea, "He can't get away with it every time."

Liu Yifei teased reporters: "You are still smart."

Zhang Yuanjun also encountered a similar problem. The reporter asked him: "Yifei is acting in a literary film for the first time. Will you give her some help or advice in preparing for the role?"

As expected, two kinds of people cannot sleep in the same bed. Zhang Yuanjun's answer was similar to Liu Yifei: "She debuted earlier than me. She is an experienced and mature actor. She doesn't need my advice to prepare for the role."

"We saw that in the synopsis of the story, Yifei's character is named Sissy. Is it written that way on purpose?"

"Yes."

"Is this a surprise for Yifei from the crew or is it your confession to Yifei through the movie?"

In front of the public, Zhang Yuanjun felt a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "I have them all. Why do you all ask such questions?"

"Because you both haven't shown up much this year."

Then Zhang Yuanjun joked: "There are always reports in Cannes, and you all said that."

The reporter didn't mind Zhang Yuanjun's teasing at all. Instead, he climbed up the bar and asked, "Will this movie be screened in Cannes?"

"It depends on the company's arrangements. Of course we want to go to the film festival." Zhang Yuanjun did not deny it.

The group interview ended and the crew officially started work.

Perhaps in order to facilitate the media shooting and promote the crew, Zhang Yuanjun did all the filming on location on the first day.

Zhang Yuanjun's first scene was the scene where he found that Sissi suddenly stopped talking, thinking that his artificial intelligence was broken, so he ran wildly and fell on the road.Zhang Yuanjun held his mobile phone in his hand, waiting for the director's boot command. At this time, there was a machine in front of him, and another one on the side was ready to follow.

It was shot on two machines, but Zhang Yuanjun's performance was continuous.

"Get ready." Xu Anhua did not sit next to the monitor, but stood next to the photographer opposite Zhang Yuanjun on the set. She had to follow the first shot in person, "Start!"

But Zhang Yuanjun was told to stop after he had just taken two steps. Xu Anhua said to the photographer: "I told you to start pushing. What are you waiting for?"

The photographer who took the photo even said yes.

"Do it again." Xu Anhua said into the intercom, "Ready, start!"

Zhang Yuanjun started running again, glancing at his phone while running.

After the frontal shot, the side camera follows.

Zhang Yuanjun tripped on his front and back legs and fell to the ground. Passersby rushed up to help him and asked: "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

But Zhang Yuanjun didn't care, picked up his eyes and headphones that fell to the ground, ran away again, and left the camera.

"Ka." Xu Anhua shouted, and returned to the director's tent to watch the playback. Zhang Yuanjun also followed.

The staff followed him and dusted him off.

"No, you can't throw like this." Xu Anhua felt that his fall was not good enough.

The assistant director suggested: "How about rolling around on the ground and then getting up."

Xu Anhua felt it made sense after hearing this: "How do you want to throw it?"

The assistant director demonstrated on the spot: "Leave on your side like this, roll around on your back, and then get up to pick up something."

"Okay, let's give it a try." Xu Anhua patted Zhang Yuanjun.

Zhang Yuanjun naturally listened to the director's words and tried it several times on the ground before filming started.

"start."

But the actual filming was not so smooth. Zhang Yuanjun didn't grasp the posture of the first fall well, and the fall didn't look good, so he was called to stop.

The second time, the temples of my glasses were crushed and I couldn't wear them anymore, so I had to start over.

After the third fall, Zhang Yuanjun still heard Xu Anhua say in the tent: "The reaction, the reaction of the extras, why is it so slow."

After saying that, he and Zhang Yuanjun came to the stage and personally taught the extras: "It doesn't matter whether you look at him or not when he runs over. You have to react when he falls. You get up, you go over to help him, remember yourself Don’t be too quick or too slow in your reaction, you know.”

"Yuanjun, please change your clothes, drink some water, and touch up your makeup. We will shoot again in 10 minutes."

"Okay." Zhang Yuanjun really didn't feel comfortable after being thrown down several times.

In July, outdoors in the Magic City, I ran like this over and over again and fell over and over again. Although it was not my head that fell, it was still uncomfortable after rolling down several times.

Zhang Yuanjun filmed it four times, and Liu Yifei and the reporters watched him fall four times.

The reporter also asked her how she felt. She said: "This is what an actor should do. The fall in an action movie is much worse than this."

In fact, she felt heartbroken when she saw her boyfriend falling like this over and over again.

After Liu Yifei finished speaking, she saw Zhang Yuanjun coming out of the field, throwing away the reporters and went to greet him.

Reporters saw Zhang Yuanjun taking off the long-sleeved shirt he wore in the movie. Although he was still wearing a vest underneath, it was still clear that his figure was extremely good.

"It's too hot." Zhang Yuanjun handed the clothes he changed to Xiao Zhao. He didn't rush to change into the new costume, and just sat in a vest, washing his hands and blowing the cool breeze.

"Why don't you leave?" Zhang Yuanjun saw Liu Yifei coming over.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, so I have to put on a show today." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

The two joked for a while, and then Zhang Yuanjun was called to start filming.

On the first day of filming, the crew did not cooperate smoothly in many areas. For this running and wrestling scene, Zhang Yuanjun had to go through it [-] times before it passed.

"Weibo Movie Report from Magic City. This morning, the movie "Her" directed by Xu Anhua and starring Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei started shooting in Shanghai. The film focuses on the profound proposition of the relationship between humans and artificial intelligence in the future world. This film is Liu Yifei's first film since It is a literary film, but the fairy sister is not nervous at all, saying that she is well prepared, but refuses to disclose more information about the role. On the first day of filming, a scene in which Zhang Yuanjun ran and fell was filmed. Zhang Yuanjun was very dedicated and fell more than a dozen times before he was awarded the director's title. Passed. There was no scene for the heroine Liu Yifei that day, but Liu Yifei was on the set filming with her boyfriend throughout the day."
