Actor: My Entertainment Era

Real results speak for themselves. Jackie Chan returns to action comedy, and the box office is still solid. "Absolute Escape" was released on Thursday, but it still took over 35 million in box office with 4% of the scheduled films, and exceeded 4 million in four days in the first weekend.

It can be regarded as a shot in the arm for the sluggish market in mid-to-late July.

However, the film's reputation is not particularly good, with a score of 5.8 on Douban. Most of the negative reviews focus on the cliched story and laughs, and the weak plot logic and a bit of nonsense.

However, these shortcomings have not been ignored by summer audiences. Overall, "Escape" is a film worth going to the cinema to cool off.

But "Legend of the Gods" is...

During the film's early promotional activities, lead actor Li Lianjie said somewhat pointedly: "Boss Yu won't let me watch the film. I said he won't let me watch it. How can I talk to the media? It seems they are very confident."

Boss Yu’s confidence is: “I think there is no doubt that this year’s summer champion will be our "Legend of the Gods"! ... I hope that "Legend of the Gods" can break the 25 billion yuan! Break the record of "Monster Hunt" Summer box office record."

It also confidently provided a guaranteed contract of 10 billion for "Legend of the Gods".

But judging from the viewing results at last month's summer promotion event, everyone who watched "Feng Shen" didn't criticize it.

It seems that if you reach the position of a big boss, your subordinates will be more or less blocked from hearing and hearing, and many front-line news will not reach his ears.

Bernard's blind confidence ultimately cost him blood.

The film only earned a little over 7000 million on its first day, and its reputation was irreparable on its first day.

Netizens were scolding!
25 billion? Even 5 million won’t be able to get there.

With a guarantee of 10 billion, Bernard will suffer a loss.

Huayi, who got off the car early, smiled from ear to ear - this film was originally a collaboration between Huayi and Boss Xiang, but Huayi quit midway and packaged the project and sold it to Bernard.

Seeing the disastrous results of "Feng Shen", Wang Zhonglei was not gloating about the misfortune, but he was also feeling refreshed.

It doesn’t matter if I don’t make money, I’ll be happy if you lose money.

Although it feels uncomfortable for me to suffer a small loss, I am even happier to see you lose blood.

The minimum guarantee is 10 billion, and the box office is expected to be less than 5 million. If it were a small or medium-sized film company, this project would bankrupt the company.

How about having a deep love for the boss's son, and setting up such a big game for his own son.

As a result, after the movie was released, all the stars were reluctant to promote the movie when they saw the poor performance - I returned the favor and let the promotion go.

On the day that "Legend of the Gods" was released, the 73rd Venice International Film Festival announced the shortlist for each category.

A total of 20 films were shortlisted for the main competition unit, of which only one Chinese-language film was shortlisted, namely "Redemption" directed by Gu Changwei and starring Zhang Yuanjun and Fan Bingbing.

There are two Chinese-language films in the Horizon section list, one is "Bitter Money" directed by Wang Bing, and the other is "Wang Xiaofang Born in 2" directed by Ning Ying and starring Liu Yifei and Xia Yu.

There is also a film "Where Are You" shortlisted for the screening unit.

Five films were shortlisted for the film festival, which is considered the best result for a Chinese-language film at an international film festival in recent years.

Being shortlisted for international film festivals is a common occurrence for Zhang Yuanjun. When the shortlisted list came back to China, his fans were very calm and he did not respond to the shortlisted films in the media - reporters could not find him.

Fan Bingbing, on the other hand, proactively retweeted the news about the finalists on Weibo, and then said "Come on."

What a pity, even though she has walked on so many red carpets, "Redemption" is her first work to be shortlisted in the three main competitions. This time, she can finally walk on the red carpet as a shortlisted actress!
After memorizing the name of Blanket Star for so many years, I am finally proud and proud!

As the last Best Actress, Liu Yifei was shortlisted for the Horizon category this year, which cannot be said to be downgraded. Being shortlisted for the main competition is certainly worthy of bragging, but Liu Yifei already has a Best Actress by her side. Even if "Wang Xiaofang" is screened in the screening section, no one will underestimate Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei didn’t respond to any questions about being shortlisted for the Horizon category—reporters couldn’t find her either.

She has been posting advertisements on Weibo for more than half a month.

Being shortlisted for "Redemption" also made Gu Changwei breathe a sigh of relief. "Little Love: Getting Better" disappointed the outside world. This time he was shortlisted for Venice. Just being shortlisted is enough for him to regain his reputation - just go there once. Already ahead of 99% of directors in the industry.

Zhang Yuanjun was busy rehearsing the new play "Hypnosis" at the theater.

The theater had something to say about him being nominated for the International Film Festival again. Vice President Pu Cunxin joked with him: "If you win another Best Actor, what award will the theater give you? The first-class actor has already been given to you, and there is nothing more. "

He Bing and Pu Cunxin, who were watching the rehearsal at the scene, said: "If he wins the best award again, let him be the vice president."

Everyone in the audience laughed, and Zhang Yuanjun said: "Then I may be the worst vice president in history."

In fact, Zhang Yuanjun really never thought that he would be able to win another Best Actor. He won Cannes at the age of 24 and won three gold medals at the age of 27. This is already a golden cake falling on his head. How dare he think about anything else.

So he doesn't even plan to go to Venice. He won't gain anything anyway, and he doesn't need the platform of Venice to be exposed. It's better to stay in China and rehearse the show while accompanying his wife.

Zhang Yuanjun has been working a lot these past few months.

Zhang Yuanjun's mentality was so good that even the team felt there was no need to buy the draft, but Fan did.

Fan is also a hard-working person in this industry. She definitely knows that her performance in "Redemption" is not enough to win any awards, but her team is smart and plays the inspirational queen card.

Fan's fans said that after so many years of hard work, she finally stood upright on the stage of the three majors as a shortlisted actress.

Behind this kind of remarks also revealed the unconfidence of his fans. They also knew that Fan's previous red carpet appearance as an invited guest was a bit "hypocritical".

But now it's good, my sister's starring work has been shortlisted for the main competition, I feel proud.

Some fans even said that Fan actually wore the dragon robe this time, and even made her a "Sister is the Queen" emoji.

Since the shortlist was announced, Fan Bingbing has appeared frequently, firstly to promote "Escape", and secondly, to increase his exposure by taking advantage of the popularity of being shortlisted in Venice.

Her team will also ask reporters to take the initiative to ask her questions about Venice, but Gu Changwei and Zhang Yuanjun, the crew members of "Redemption" are the real stars. The two have not responded to the film's nomination so far, thinking it is not a big deal, but reporters will still be satisfied with this Require.

And she would answer the reporter very modestly but with overflowing joy: "Being shortlisted is a kind of affirmation. I don't dare to ask for anything else."

"Have you chosen your dress for the film festival?"

"Not yet. The news of being shortlisted is sudden and a surprise. We are still coordinating the subsequent schedule."

Since "Redemption" was shortlisted in Venice, fan circles have begun to spread rumors that many well-known art film directors want to invite Fan Bingbing to join the cast.

"Sister now has many film appointments, all of which are invitations from famous directors, and they are all very challenging scripts that test her acting skills."

"My sister has been in the industry for nearly 20 years. She no longer cares about box office and commercial results. She really wants to act in some challenging dramas."

"My sister had a great time working with Zhang Yuanjun in "Redemption". Zhang Yuanjun will also work with her in his next film." (End of Chapter)
