Actor: My Entertainment Era

The management behind Zhang Yuanjun canceled Peng Yuyan's two endorsement deals and a film contract in August, causing Peng Yuyan to lose nearly 8 million yuan. Although this matter has not been brought to the public, people in the industry are aware of it.

This gave some people a signal that Peng was not invulnerable to all kinds of poisons and could be manipulated. Is Hong Kong and Taiwan capital behind him? Are mainland capital afraid of him?
There are many people who want to replace him in the tough guy niche.

Therefore, during the preliminary publicity activities of "Operation Mekong", some media and employers were ready to take action and began to ask Peng some unfriendly questions to test his bottom line.

For example, in the interview session after the premiere, a reporter from a local media asked him this question: "You have worked with many mainland actors from mainland teams, why do you still have such a strong Bay Island accent in your lines? Is this going to happen?" Let the audience play.”

Peng Yuyan was very embarrassed at the time, but still chose to answer the question: "I'm working hard to correct the accent problem, so don't worry too much."

The reporter asked: "But you have been filming in the Mainland for so many years, and you still haven't corrected your accent."

Peng Yuyan said: "The accent problem is more difficult, give me more time."

When this reporter asked this question, other reporters present became commotion. This guy is so fierce, he dared to ask this question.

This reporter was obviously here to stir up trouble. He was not afraid that you would talk nonsense, but that you would not say anything, so he took a step closer and said, "Do you think it is more difficult to adjust your accent, or to learn to surf, practice sign language, or take the dolphin trainer qualification certificate?" "

Peng Yuyan looked displeased and before he could speak, a staff member from the premiere organizer stopped him and said, "Can this teacher please ask questions related to our movie?"

The reporter ignored him and chased Peng Yuyan and asked, "It shouldn't be difficult to hire a line teacher to practice for half a year."

Peng Yuyan forced a smile and said: "Can you ask me about "Mekong River"? Today is the premiere of "Mekong River"."

The reporter wanted to ask more questions, but was eventually asked out of the interview room.

But it doesn't matter, the purpose has been achieved.

Colleagues from more than a dozen media outlets in the interview room saw this scene. The issue of Peng Yuyan’s lines will definitely hit the headlines tomorrow!

Sure enough, the next day, #平宇禹令注question# became a hot search on Weibo, and #reporter criticizes Peng Yuyan for not being able to practice Mandarin# became a hot search on Du Niang.

Some people are fans and some are haters. Under these hot searches, some people are complaining.

"Finally someone said something about his lines! After so many years of filming in the Mainland, he still speaks Mandarin with a Bay Island accent. How dare he say that he worked hard?"

"I've long been impatient with his marketing. You can't make a movie, learn a skill, and practice it to a professional level. Don't use your hobbies to challenge other people's food. Practice fighting and brag that you have become a professional boxer. If you have the ability to fight in the ring."

"People like Louis Koo and Liu Qingyun are basically based in Hong Kong, and the mainland version of the movie also uses dubbing. It's not shameful to hire a dubbing person if you can't speak Mandarin."

Likewise, Peng's fans have repeatedly defended their idol.

Of course, according to the style of play in the fan circle, they will not discuss the issue with the anti-fans about whether Peng Yuyan's Mandarin is good or not.

They usually choose to curse directly.

"You don't have to watch it if you don't like it. There's no need to spray shit here."

"He is originally from the Bay Island, why would he change his accent?"

"He doesn't change his accent and still takes on roles."

These outbursts of public opinion are within the normal and predictable range.

When a new movie is released and the studio does aggressive marketing, it is normal for some people to be displeased and try to smear you.

But the strange thing about this incident is that the public opinion about Peng Yuyan was not brought about by any of the other three competitors in the National Day stalls - at least it seems that the other three companies are not participating now.

This is very strange. There seems to be no direct beneficiary of the smear campaign against Peng Yuyan. What is the purpose of this?

The Hong Kong and Taiwan capital behind Bernard and Peng couldn't figure out the way out for a while, but they still had to do the public relations and maintenance that needed to be done.

…………

Zhang Yuanjun has started to perform "Monument". After rehearsing for more than half a month, he is finally going to meet the audience. Steko, the male protagonist played by Zhang Yuanjun, is a soldier and a death row prisoner who has committed rape. During the entire 110 minutes of the play, he is almost always dressed in ragged clothes and wearing heavy shackles.

Zhang Yuanjun is making his debut today, and he specially sent a ticket to the director of the first domestic edition, Zha Mingzhe, and invited him to come and watch.

Director Cha happily agreed and went to the Tianqiao Theater with Liu Yifei to watch Zhang Yuanjun play the role of Steko.

At least 80% of the Tianqiao Theater's thousand-seat hall was occupied, which is already a very good result for a private theater company.

Zha Mingzhe and Liu Yifei sat in the corner. After all, it was a free ticket, so they were embarrassed to take the tickets in the middle of the fifth or sixth row.

The curtain opened and the stage was dark. After a while, a light came down and shone on Zhang Yuanjun's face. He was fixed on a chair. Zhang Yuanjun struggled uncomfortably on the chair for a while before speaking his lines.

Zhang Yuanjun's handling of the character Steko is not very unique, it just depends on how well the acting is done.

The 110 minutes passed quickly. When the monument rose from the stage and the lights turned on and off, the performance ended.

Zhang Yuanjun took his partner's hand and paid his last respects to the entire audience, who also responded with warm applause.

The two actors took their curtain call on stage for five minutes before exiting.

Not long after, Zha Mingzhe and Liu Yifei appeared backstage.

"Teacher Cha, how are you doing?" someone asked.

"The arrangement is good and the performance is good." Zha Mingzhe will not disappoint.

Zhang Yuanjun was taking off his makeup and said with a smile: "Who acted better?"

Liu Yifei said: "Anyway, your performance is average." There are only two actors, one male and one female, in this drama from beginning to end.

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said: "You are not facing me either."

Zha Mingzhe chatted for a few words backstage and then went back by himself. Liu Yifei would not leave.

"The amount of lines is too large." Even including film and television dramas, Steko is the character with the largest amount of lines in Zhang Yuanjun's more than ten years since his debut.

110 minutes, two actors speaking from beginning to end, each with more than minutes of lines, the workload is not ordinary.

"I need to take some good tonic later."

"You will be tired after just one performance." Liu Yifei scolded with a smile.

"In front of outsiders, just feel sorry for your husband." This is still in the dressing room.

When Zhang Yuanjun said this, everyone around him laughed.

Liu Yifei smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I'll take you to eat delicious food later."

So, a pregnant woman with a big belly drove and took Zhang Yuanjun to the food stall where they often went. Liu Yifei spent two hundred yuan and treated Zhang Yuanjun to a barbecue.

Zhang Yuanjun said, "After working hard all night, is this all you eat?" But he was very determined and ate the meal with great relish.

"Someone asked me here and asked if Peng Yuyan's black manuscripts in the past two days were published by us." Liu Yifei said.

"I don't even know him." Zhang Yuanjun said.

"Yeah, I said the same thing." Liu Yifei and Peng Yuyan collaborated on "Sword of Immortal", but that was so many years ago that they were not familiar with each other. "It's just that when the film is about to be released, the fans will attack each other normally. , and you guessed it."

Zhang Yuanjun didn't even care.

It's no problem for the two of them to eat well and go home together. (End of chapter)
