Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 483 New Record

On Christmas night, Zhang Yuanjun really cooked a sumptuous meal for his wife.

Liu Yifei prepared red Christmas hats, one for each of them. They took photos of their first Christmas after marriage in front of the mobile phone camera and uploaded them to Weibo: "Merry Christmas!"

After posting on Weibo, Liu Yifei threw her phone away. Facing a large table of dishes, Liu Yifei first said to Zhang Yuanjun: "Thank you for your hard work."

Zhang Yuanjun raised his glass: "Come on. I wish our producer Liu all the best for his new film."

Liu Yifei also raised a toast: "Thank you. I also wish our best actor Zhang good luck in his future performances."

The two cups clinked together, and both of them laughed, especially Liu Yifei, who laughed and said, "They don't sound like a couple."

"Why don't they look like a couple?" Zhang Yuanjun also laughed, "Aren't husband and wife spending Christmas alone together? Aren't husband and wife sleeping in the same bed? Not a husband and wife..."

"Hey, if you keep talking, you'll be acting like a hooligan." Liu Yifei laughed.

Zhang Yuanjun shut up and the two of them had dinner together.

In fact, Zhang Yuanjun's cooking skills are very average, and he sometimes overturns his cooking skills, but Liu Yifei is very supportive and praises him for the delicious fried tofu today: "You should eat tofu in winter."

The two chatted while eating. When it came to next year's arrangements, Liu Yifei said: "Our theater will not arrange a play for me next year."

"This is normal. It takes some actors five or six years to play a role." Zhang Yuanjun said, "This year our theater will revive "Ruan Lingyu", and Xu Fan will play the heroine again after 19 years."

"A mature actor like Teacher Xu Fan can definitely perform well." Liu Yifei said.

"There was a meeting at the performance center a few days ago to decide on next year's performance. I met her, and she said that watching her performance 19 years ago now feels very scary and she didn't dare to finish it." Only gossiping about others makes you happy.

Liu Yifei understood this deeply and said with a smile: "Don't say it's been 19 years. I want to die when I see Wang Yuyan now. How could she act like that?"

"Wang Yuyan is very good, she is very popular." Zhang Yuanjun also smiled.

"How do you feel when you see Gui Hai Yida now?"

"Why are you talking about this while we are eating?" Zhang Yuanjun picked up some food for Liu Yifei, "It's been so many years."

After the two of them had eaten, one person cleaned up the dishes and the other cleaned up, which gave them the atmosphere of a married life.

After tidying up, the two of them nestled on the sofa again, covered with the same blanket, and watched TV together.

Go back to your room to rest until late in the evening.

As soon as Christmas passed, Zhang Yuanjun threw himself into intense rehearsals.

He has a performance on January 1th, and the rehearsal time is only about ten days.

After the Christmas battle, Jackie Chan finally gave in.

"囧囧" has exceeded 2000 million moviegoers, becoming the first movie to have more than 94 million moviegoers since mainland China introduced split blockbusters in 2000. Currently, the box office has tied with "Painted Skin 2", and the annual crown is basically "囧囧" 》.

And "Twelve Zodiac Signs" has not exceeded 5 million so far. Jackie Chan finally relented: "Xu Zheng's first-time director, "囧囧" has done so well at the box office! I have been making movies for 52 years, witnessed many miracles, and created many miracles. Today, as a senior, the happiest thing is watching Until Chinese-language filmmakers can live up to their reputation and continue to make movies that audiences really like!"

In fact, it can still be seen from his words that Jackie Chan is a bit tough-talking, and when he praises Xu Zheng, he also puts on the airs of an old-timer and pulls the banner of domestic production.

In fact, the performance of "Zodiac" is not bad. Judging from the current trend, domestic revenue of 70 to 800 million is not a problem.

But Huayi, or Jackie Chan, seems to be unable to accept losing to a new director and a low-budget comedy that costs less than a fraction of "Zodiac".

Xu Zheng, a second-tier actor - he may not even be considered a second-tier actor before "囧" - can't act in movies, so he has no choice but to turn into a director. He still shoots non-mainstream road comedies. In the most important New Year's Day of the year In the movie, Jackie Chan, the golden icon of Chinese-language movies, was killed.

Looking back, does the victory of "囧囧" in the Lunar New Year season mark the overall rise of new forces in the Chinese film industry? After "Lost in Thailand", have old-school filmmakers gradually lost their right to speak in the market and are in decline?

On New Year's Day, the box office of "Lost in Thailand" officially exceeded 10 billion, becoming the first Chinese-language film to do so.

At this point, "囧囧" has become a milestone in the history of Chinese film.

Later that afternoon, CCTV news official Weibo posted a congratulatory message and asked: "It is reported that the record holder for the highest box office of a movie screened in China is "Avatar" which took in 13.8 billion. Do you think "囧囧" can Will you continue to work hard to break this record?"

Yes, after "囧囧" exceeded 10 billion, the whole country was watching to see if he could beat the blue-skinned man.

However, it was also at this time that experts and scholars came out to give their opinions: ""Lost in Thailand" is a typical 'three vulgar' movies, vulgarity, vulgarity, and kitsch. The Chinese cultural industry represented by movies cannot just focus on the box office. Instead, we should focus on cultural orientation and focus on improving the cultural quality and taste of ordinary people. Such a high box office reflects the low level of national appreciation to a certain extent. The higher the box office, the greater the problem. Such movies have no meaning in improving the quality of the people. , but it will have a negative effect.”

But soon, such views were refuted by the official media: "The audience will never be as tasteless as the article said, and the film review department will never be as uneducated as the author thought. ... It is the bounden duty of movies to please the audience, and There would be no movies without pleasure, and there are purely entertainment movies at home and abroad. How can we claim that "囧囧" is a typical 'three vulgarities' just because it is so popular without much ideological connotation!"

"If "Lost in Thailand" is as ugly as the article says, how could the audience rush into the theater happily? Do you think the audience is so stupid that they don't need money?... As a cultural industry, movies should develop healthily, yes It should have a correct guiding role, but we can never say that "囧" is a typical 'three vulgar' works just because it has a super high box office."

"囧囧" exceeded 10 billion, proving that domestic audiences are not superstitious about Hollywood. A purely domestic lineup can also reach 10 billion, which is a shot in the arm for the entire market.

The market is very hot, and various production companies are gearing up, trying to keep up with the pace of "囧", hoping to make their own 10 billion movie.

But some people are very cold, Yang Mi.

This year, there were three films negotiated in the Shanghai Film Festival's venture capital market: "Mulan", "Turandot" and "The Empty City". The first two films were aborted and canceled, and the latter one she was fired from the crew because of the producer Fang Yindu. The agency will never accept her involvement in the drama, and there is no room for negotiation.

Yang Mi is in bad luck!

The loss of all three films means that after Yang Mi wraps up "Tiny Times" next month, except for a few friendly guest roles, her schedule for the whole year will be empty!

This is absolutely unacceptable to her!

She felt that she had encountered the biggest crisis in her career, and there was no chance of filming anymore!

During this period, her manager Zeng Jia was frantically trying to contact the crew for her, but it was difficult. Small crews couldn't afford her, and she still didn't like her. Big crews didn't want her, and crews of all sizes were afraid of this Bodhisattva. .

Zeng Jia suggested that she look for Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei after finishing "Tiny Times". They might have resources to recommend.

But Yang Mi was not optimistic about this. Liu Yifei didn't even care about Shu Chang, so how could she care about her.

"Let's finish filming the scene in hand first." Yang Mi had no choice but to comfort herself with this statement.
