Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 513 Good mentality

"Pacific Rim" premiered in North America on the 10th and was released on the 12th. Liu Yifei returned to China on the 13th.

The film is in the most critical period of screening. The heroine left the crew and returned to China at this time. To be honest, it was not very good to watch.

Liu Yifei's return to China has aroused widespread speculation and doubts about "Pacific Rim" in the domestic media.

Hollywood's negative reports on "Pacific Rim" had reached China a month ago. At that time, the domestic media were still relatively restrained, believing that "Pacific Rim" had such a large investment, and no matter how much trouble Legend and Warner made, they would not take the truth seriously. Jin Baiyin was joking.

But as the release date gets closer and closer, there is no clear answer to the conflicts between Legendary, Warner Bros. and the director team, and the domestic media cannot sit still.

When Liu Yifei really left the crew and returned to China, the domestic media began to report extensively on the behind-the-scenes battle of "Pacific Rim" and the bad impact this battle would have on the movie.

Although Liu Yifei said that she returned to China to prepare for the domestic release of "Pacific Rim", the audience did not believe it at all. It is still more than half a month before the domestic release of "Pacific Rim", and it has just been released in North America. Your heroine is not in the North American base camp. Returning to China to serve as an outpost, even Liu Yifei fans are a bit overwhelmed.

"Mecha monster movies don't focus on the heroine. I watched the North American premiere," he also posted the ticket stub, "Although Yifei has a lot of roles, in the end the highlight of "Pacific Rim" is the mecha and the action itself. "

"The first weekend of "Pacific Rim" in North America was US$3700 million, which is already a good result."

"Although Yifei is the heroine, she is considered a third-tier actress in the cast list. The movie's failure cannot be blamed on the third-tier actor."

But if you are on the front line, you are on the front line. So what if Liu Yifei got jet-lagged and directly joined the cast of "The Master of Hypnosis"?

Now the anti-fans started to party.

"Before it was released, I boasted that I had been cast as the heroine of a mainstream Hollywood blockbuster, and my status skyrocketed. Now that something happened, I just said that it had nothing to do with the heroine, and you took advantage of everything."

"According to Hollywood rules, if "Pacific Rim" fails at the box office, it is basically impossible for Liu Yifei, the heroine, to make a comeback in the United States. She will only be able to play supporting roles and bit parts in low-cost movies."

"The investment in this film was nearly 2 million U.S. dollars. The result of 3700 million in North America was just a failure, and the cost could not be recovered %. Liu Yifei will definitely bet on domestic results now, but domestic audiences have never been interested in mecha monster movies. This film It will definitely bring Liu Yifei’s career in Hollywood to the bottom.”

"I just want to see how her actor husband will protect his wife. Even if they sell it, they can't recover the loss of "Pacific Rim"."

Every time Liu Yifei's new movie is released, fans and anti-fans will fight like this.

It is not up to the anti-fans to worry about how the actor's husband keeps his wife in the dark. The two of them are busy on the set of "The Hypnotist".

In fact, Liu Yifei has a good attitude.

When she first came to the United States, she was indeed worried that the dispute between Warner and Legendary would affect the film's performance, but when it came time for the movie to be released, she relaxed.

Just do your best and obey fate.

As an actress, she has done all her work well, and there is really nothing she can do about the struggle between the two companies behind her.

Without publicity, Warner even deliberately suppressed "Pacific Rim". Legendary Pictures also had no global promotion channels, so it would be difficult for a good film to get ahead.

"As long as the film is good and the publicity and distribution are not in place, we can rely on word of mouth to counterattack." To argue this way, Liu Yifei really has nothing to say.

The crew of "Hypnosis" has a tacit agreement not to mention "Pacific Rim".

Zhang Yuanjun also took good care of his wife's emotions. He just filmed the current scene on the set and never mentioned "Pacific Rim".

But Liu Yifei is also big-hearted. She took the initiative to tell her husband after the movie: "Don't think that I am so fragile. Making a movie is mainly about enjoying the process. I had a lot of fun filming "Pacific Rim."

The usual chicken soup works well at this time.

In fact, this cannot be completely called chicken soup.

Because when an actor reaches a certain stage, he really enjoys the process of filming. If he has the mentality of "must be a hit" or "must win awards" from the beginning, the film will be useless.

Did Zhang Yuanjun expect to win an award when he starred in "Transcendence" at the age of 23?

Did Liu Yifei, who played the second-in-command actress Natalia in "Blind City", predict that the show would tour more than 20 cities across the country?

But Zhang Yuanjun still said: "That's what I say, but we still hope that our film can achieve good results."

"That's for sure." Liu Yifei did not deny her husband's statement, "But no one thought that something like this would happen in "Pacific Rim". As actors, we are in a foreign country, and there is really nothing we can do. Even director Toro There is nothing we can do.”

Zhang Yuanjun nodded in agreement. At this point, there was no need to say more, and the two continued to discuss their lines for tomorrow. The next day, the crew of "The Master of Hypnosis".

Today we will shoot an important scene where Xu Ruining questioned Ren Xiaoyan, but Ren Xiaoyan used ghost talk to "counter-kill" Xu Ruining's psychological defense. This section is an important plot turning point in the entire "Hypnosis Master".

Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei came to the set early in the morning to prepare, but Zhang Yuanjun had to change the lines in this scene!

Zhang Yuanjun didn't think there was any problem with this line from the time he got the script until last night. But as soon as he sat on the sofa on the set today, Zhang Yuanjun was inspired and felt the need to change it.

As soon as he heard that Zhang Yuanjun wanted to change his lines, Chen Zhengdao's heart twisted.

Whatever he is afraid of, he will do whatever he wants. Before the filming started, he was worried that he would not be able to conquer the big shot Zhang Yuanjun.

But at the same time, he also knew that it was common for the crew to change lines on the set. During the filming in the past few days, he also changed a lot of lines temporarily.

"You are an excellent screenwriter, tell me how to change it." Chen Zhengdao gave Zhang Yuanjun face.

Zhang Yuanjun sat on the set and wrote furiously on the script. Liu Yifei watched as he even changed his own lines.

After writing, he showed it to Chen Zhengdao: "Let's try one and see the effect." Zhang Yuanjun's tone was not seeking Chen Zhengdao's opinion.

"Okay, let's take a picture and see." Chen Zhengdao had to agree, "Get ready and start."

Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei took their seats.

Zhang Yuanjun: "Since the beginning of treatment, you have said that you can see ghosts more than once. Even if I believe that what you said is true, can I ask you a question now?"

Liu Yifei: "What's the problem?"

Zhang Yuanjun: "Have you ever seen your fiancé?"

Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Yuanjun, who then said: "No, right?"

Liu Yifei turned her head away from him, and Zhang Yuanjun said again: "When a person lies, he either has a purpose or a reason."

Liu Yifei: "Everything I said is true."

Zhang Yuanjun raised his voice slightly to increase the persuasiveness of his words: "You are just trying to believe that it is true. Your fiancé is dead. I tell you that there is no resurrection after death." This made Xu Ruining look more confident.

Liu Yifei was obviously anxious: "Why do you want to involve him? Why don't you believe that I can see ghosts." Liu Yifei got up and left the sofa, turning her back and not wanting to face the psychotherapist in front of her.

Zhang Yuanjun: "Even if you can really see ghosts, you can't make your dead fiance come back to life. He's dead."

Liu Yifei turned around with tears in her eyes: "Dr. Xu, I know you are very smart and confident. You can say all unreasonable things are my hallucinations or that I am dreaming. Maybe I am really crazy. But I’m not stupid, can you just believe me for once.”

"I can trust you, you give me evidence, I don't want to hear stories."

"This is not a story." Liu Yifei had already choked with tears and carried it away again.

"Click." Chen Zhengdao shouted to stop.

Reading this passage from the script and watching Zhang Yuanjun perform it live are completely different feelings.

"Very good!" Chen Zhengdao praised, "With this change, the whole scene becomes more tense and lively."

There is no problem in changing the lines like this, but the interpretation needs to be refined.

Liu Yifei also joked about her husband: "Teacher Zhang's screenwriting award is really not a waste."

After Zhang Yuanjun finished the performance, he asked the director for his opinion: "How was it?"

Chen Zhengdao: "Very good, let's just shoot it like this. We'll check it twice and then shoot it for real." (End of Chapter)
