Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 400 Influence
The reason why top-tier movies are called top-tier movies is that they not only include popular works, but also the supporting publicity and distribution resources.

Although Liu Yifei is not as hyped as others, she still pays a lot of "protection fees" to various platforms and media every year.

The scandal disrupted the promotion plan of "Her".

Originally, Liu Yifei's character characteristics would be kept secret until the movie premiere next year, giving the outside world a surprise.

But no one expected that the media would make a fuss about Liu Yifei's involvement in the drama, so the crew had to expose Sissi in advance.

But it's still within control.

At this time, the "protection fee" paid by Liu Yifei began to take effect.

Various platforms began to "rehabilitate" Liu Yifei. The crew of "Her" released materials and information in advance to introduce the drama "Her" and build a reputation for Liu Yifei.

The experts and scholars who had previously attacked Liu Yifei's drama were all speechless for a moment.

No matter how hard they tried, they never imagined that "Her" would be such a drama, and the heroine would dub the entire movie without showing her face.

However, there are still a few people who are still stubborn, saying that Liu Yifei should not leave the group even if it is a dubbing performance. A certain dedicated actor will still play with the actors on the set even if there is no role. Why don't you Liu Yifei do the same!
There are also people who are talking about Liu Yifei's salary, and they are really telling the truth.

It is said that Liu Yifei received a high salary for her appearance even for her voice acting, and she also got Zhang Yuanjun by the way.

It is said that Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei took away half of the budget of the "Her" crew.

"As a literary film, "Her" had a very limited budget and the estimated cost was around 5000 million. However, the two did not compromise on the salary and took away all 3000 million of the salary."

Of course this is nonsense.

Have they forgotten that Zhang Yuanjun is also the screenwriter and producer of "Her"!

The remuneration for actors in artistic films and commercial films is different. Zhang Yuanjun's actor's remuneration for starring in "Her" was only 210 million, plus the screenwriting fee of 20, it was only 230 million, and Liu Yifei's was only 120 million.

Ask Liu Yifei to shoot a movie for 120 million, and ask the boss outside about the price.

The price of friendship is not that low!
However, the remuneration is a commercial secret and the crew will not respond to this.

However, in an interview, the relevant person in charge of Anle Pictures, one of the producers of "Her", indirectly answered the reporter's question: "It is difficult to make literary films now. "Her" took a year from project preparation to launch. For a long time, some rumors from the outside world are ridiculous.

"Excellent young actors like Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei can still calm down and make a literary film, especially a sci-fi literary film like "Her" that is the first of its kind in China. This spirit is worthy of respect. Now the outside world has a word or two Rumors are just trying to discredit our efforts, and I think such attacks are extremely irresponsible and have ulterior motives."

"But many people say that the two of them were paid very high salaries and took away half of the crew's costs."

"It's pure nonsense. From the director to the actors, the salary for "Her" is not high. More than 60% of our budget was spent on shooting and post-production. During the preparation, the crew had difficulties in financing. Yuanjun and Yifei even It was proposed that they would fund the play themselves. Please think about it, if two actors took half of the money, would they still say that."

"Please also give our actors and crew a little tolerance and understanding. Thank you."

The storm has subsided, but the matter is not over yet.

The entertainment industry can be complicated even if it is said to be complicated, and it can be said simple yet simple.

There is only one thing in this circle - profit.

It is true that Liu Yifei did not play a role, so what if Liu Yifei did a role?
Nowadays, drama is the norm in the industry.

Yang Mi has broadcast 7 TV series this year, and there are 3 more to be broadcast. Are these 10 dramas she filmed one after another last year?
In 1992, Andy Lau filmed 14 movies a year and was still called a model worker.

Do actors deserve to die for cheating on scenes?

Wu Chilin once said: "Even if it is true, you can't say it everywhere. There are some things that you cannot admit. It will be embarrassing if you admit it."

That's what acting is like, it's an unspoken rule in the industry and can't be said on stage.

Now using Liu Yifei to talk about the drama, it is definitely not as simple as simply smearing her.

Liu Yifei didn't care, she was concentrating on rehearsing in Beijing.

But her team quickly found out the clues. Liu Yifei's acting appointment was made early in the morning, and all the scripts she was handed were pushed forward, so there was no competition for roles with other companies.

If it's not a competition for a role, it's a business conflict.After returning from Cannes, I had many business contacts with Liu Yifei, but most of them were still being negotiated and had not been settled.

There are just a few types of business items that actresses carry, including clothes, perfumes, jewelry, makeup, watches, bags, etc.

The clothes are no longer needed, Liu Yifei is the spokesperson of Dior Greater China.

Liu Yifei is currently talking about two major endorsements, the endorsement of Van Cleef & Arpels (jewelry) in China, and the brand ambassador of Chanel Coco.

These two were the ones with the smoothest negotiation, and there were basically no problems. The next step was the inspection period.

At this time, Liu Yifei is being smeared and said that she is cheating on the show. It is hard not to think that she is trying to rob Liu Yifei of these two endorsements.

But to put it bluntly, domestic entertainment now doesn’t pay much attention to fashion resources, and fashion brands don’t pay much attention to domestic entertainment either. Except for a very few female stars such as Liu Yifei, Fan Bingbing, and Gong Li, who can win the favor of luxury brands, other stars basically Just borrow a dress and wear it.

If Liu Yifei's business is ruined, no one else can take it away. What are you trying to do?

But in this circle, there are many people who are willing to do things that are harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself. I can’t get it, but I’m happy if I don’t let you get it.

But if you do this, it will be difficult to find out who is behind the scenes.

Liu Yifei didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, so she just said, "It's over, we haven't lost anything, let's forget it."

The team is used to her character of not fighting, not grabbing, and not blushing, and there is nothing they can do against her.

Until the last Wednesday of July, Liu Yifei completed her first makeup rehearsal of the youth version of "Four Generations Under One Roof" at the theater, but she did not accept any media interviews to respond to the incident.

With only a week left before the official performance, Liu Yifei couldn't wait to lay the floor in the rehearsal hall, how could she have time to care about these "unimportant" things in her eyes.

"The closer I get to the performance, the more nervous I get," Liu Yifei called her boyfriend who had just finished the show at around 2 a.m. that night. "Today is my first rehearsal with makeup on, and my hands are sweating all the time."

"You are a young performing artist, but you are still nervous." Zhang Yuanjun laughed.

"I'm telling you something serious." Liu Yifei's nervousness did not relax because of her boyfriend's joke.

"Isn't this great?" Zhang Yuanjun said on the other end.

"Is this okay?"

"Being nervous at least shows that you attach great importance to this drama and that it will challenge you. Whether it is a film or a drama, what actors are most afraid of is acting numb. After acting numb, the performance will become stylized. You know how to express sadness. , how to express happiness, how to express fear, every move has been fixed, and acting no longer stimulates you, such an actor has almost reached the end of his artistic career."

This problem is most obvious in some child actors. Yang Mi and Yang Zi also had this problem in their subsequent acting performances.

They grew up on the set and are so familiar with the camera that their every move and smile is all about technique and no emotion.

Zhang Yuanjun continued: "Didn't you realize that you also have this problem in acting?"

Liu Yifei was dissatisfied: "Is there any?"

"Of course, you are gradually acting in a stylized manner, which is no longer natural." Zhang Yuanjun continued, "It may be helpful to give you the role of Sissi. When there is no camera in front of you and you need to rely on your voice to express the character, How will you act? Strip away facial expressions and body movements and see what you can act like."

"Why do you talk like an old scholar?" Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"Hey!"

"Okay, okay," Liu Yifei smiled, "I listen to you and I will perform well. As for "Four Generations Under One Roof", it was messed up in my hands. I will never be able to hold my head up in the theater in my life.

"What about you, how are you on the set?"

"Fortunately, it went well." Zhang Yuanjun reported that he was safe, "Why are you up so late? Your mother won't talk about you."

"I'm taking a bath, my mother went to bed early."

"You can make a video and I'll take a look."

"You're going to die." Liu Yifei laughed and cursed.
