Actor: My Entertainment Era

Although he did not plan to star in "The Wandering Earth", Zhang Yuanjun still wanted to give Dong a face and go to the planning team to meet Guo Fan.

La Dong Mingming told Guo Fan in advance that Zhang Yuanjun would come to see him, and Guo Fan entertained Zhang Yuanjun warmly.

Guo Fan has always wanted to make science fiction films, but there is no soil in China.

He is a new director who started his career by making bloody youth movies like "My Deskmate", but he was selected to make a blockbuster like "The Wandering Earth" for his second movie. How lucky and nervous he is.

Zhang Yuanjun should be the most famous actor Guo Fan has seen since he took over "The Wandering Earth", and the director said he would try his best to persuade Zhang Yuanjun to participate.

Therefore, before meeting Zhang Yuanjun, Guo Fan was very much looking forward to meeting this actor whom he had known for a long time.

If Zhang Yuanjun can get this done...

It has been almost a year since Guo Fan took over "The Wandering Earth". The crew is still doing preliminary design work and the official script has not yet been finalized.

Guo Fan warmly received Zhang Yuanjun and showed Zhang Yuanjun his current preparations very proactively.

Including the design sketches and working principles of the planetary engine, as well as the design drawings of the exoskeleton and the mine car.

This was Zhang Yuanjun's first contact with Guo Fan, and he finally understood why he was able to "beg for alms" successfully, because he really had something to show others.

Many directors who seek investment only have an idea and want people to give them money, as if it is your honor for them to use your money to realize their idea.

During the twenty minutes that Guo Fan showed and explained to him, Zhang Yuanjun completely listened. Although he did not understand the mechanical and physical principles, Zhang Yuanjun was stunned by Guo Fan and almost said that he would invest some money. Guo Fan.

After listening to Guo Fan, Zhang Yuanjun said, "I've seen My Deskmate."

Guo Fan was stunned, he didn't expect Zhang Yuanjun to say this.

"The photo is really good." Zhang Yuanjun praised.

Sincere!
In terms of economics, "My Deskmate" made a box office of 1700 million at an ultra-low cost of 5 million yuan, and Guo Fan became famous for it.

From a project management perspective, Guo Fan's work on "My Deskmate" is also very commendable.

In fact, everyone in the project circle knows that the boss of the crew is Gao Xiaosong, and Guo Fan is his tool.

But Guo Fan was still able to stuff the scenes of bombing the embassy and student demonstrations into the movie under the hands of the extremely conceited Gao Xiaosong. Among all domestic youth films, only "My Deskmate" captured this period of history. This may also be Guo Fan's private goods.

It has to be said that Guo Fan did an excellent job in mobilizing various departments of the crew to coordinate work. A tool director could actually coax Gao Xiaosong!

Of course, "My Deskmate" made all the mistakes that a youth film should make, including a ridiculous plot, blunt logic in some places, etc.

But this cannot erase Guo Fan's contributions and achievements.

Because if it is shot by Gao Xiaosong, the quality will only be worse.

It was also because of his outstanding performance in "My Deskmate" that he was selected by China Film to be sent to Hollywood to study industrialization processes.

I will take over "The Wandering Earth" when I come back.

Zhang Yuanjun said bluntly: "La Dong wants me to play your role, but I don't think I'm suitable."

Seeing that Zhang Yuanjun was so straightforward, Guo Fan didn't hide it and said with a smile: "I was looking forward to it before you came because La Dong said before that he would try his best to persuade you to act, but as soon as you came in, I saw your image and told us The image and temperament of the male protagonist are much different.”

"It's okay." Zhang Yuanjun smiled, "If you need my help in the future, just ask."

Guo Fan really asked Zhang Yuanjun rudely: "Can you please be our acting coach? We have many new actors."

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said: "I have never taught anyone else how to act." Zhang Yuanjun has never been a performance instructor. "In this case, I know a very powerful acting instructor. I will ask him to come to you later. You actors have joined the group. I will also come and take a look, and we will discuss training actors."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome."

It wasn't until Zhang Yuanjun was on his way back that he realized that he had been prostituted by Guo Fan for nothing, and he actually agreed to train him as an actor. The acting director Zhang Yuanjun recommended to Guo Fan was named Zhang Songwen. He lived in a rural area in Shunyi and the two had known each other for a long time.

Zhang Yuanjun called Zhang Songwen in the car and told him that he had taken a performance coaching job for him.

"I haven't said anything about the salary or schedule. You can negotiate with the crew yourself." Zhang Yuanjun is only responsible for the introduction work and does not interfere with other matters.

Zhang Songwen promised to contact Guo Fan in a few days and thanked Zhang Yuanjun for connecting him.

Zhang Yuanjun just said casually that whether it would work or not would depend on how well Zhang Songwen chatted with the crew.

…………

"Wang Xiaofang" did not do well at the box office. The first day was Monday, and the revenue was only 1200 million. On the second day, it dropped to less than million.

This has given a lot of buzz, and the movie starring Liu Yifei has finally hit the streets!
"Is this the strength of the No. 80 flower born in the s? Hahahaha!"

"It makes me laugh so hard. It's 800 million on the first day and million on the second day. How dare you call me a big flower!"

Liu Yifei doesn't follow the traffic route, but this group of people are still staring at Liu Yifei like flies.

Although Liu Yifei's fans have repeatedly argued that this is a literary film that does not pursue box office, and the creators have not thought about how much money it can sell.

But some people just don't listen.

A movie starring Liu Yifei must have both box office and word-of-mouth success, otherwise it will be a hit on the street.

It doesn't help that Douban gave "Wang Xiaofang" a high score of 8.2.

"Wang Xiaofang" earned just over 7 million in the first seven days of its first weekend - it has already recovered its money.

When Liu Yifei got this result, she would be lying if she said she wasn't depressed. Although she had already made a profit, she originally thought that with her appeal, she could bring more attention to a literary film.

In fact, she also knows that her current results are already very good.

As for the online comments that she couldn't afford the box office, she never cared.

Zhang Yuanjun also took a day off after finishing his performance on Sunday.

The first round of performances of "Monument" is over, and a national tour will be arranged later.

According to the negotiation between Zhang Yuanjun and the troupe, "Monument" will tour ten cities across the country from November to December.

In January, Zhang Yuanjun will return to the capital to be with his wife as she awaits delivery.

"After these twenty performances, my abdominal muscles are back again." Zhang Yuanjun told his wife the day after the performance.

"You're showing off." Liu Yifei said unhappily. She leaned against the bed with her big belly. She was pregnant with twins, so her belly was quite big. To be honest, it didn't look good. "Today, I don't know if it's your son or daughter, but it moved dozens of times."

Zhang Yuanjun leaned down, kissed his wife on the stomach, and said, "Be good."

Liu Yifei said: "The recent inspections have been very good."

"What about you?" Zhang Yuanjun was also concerned about his wife's health. It was very difficult to be pregnant with twins.

"I'm fine." Liu Yifei said, "Apart from staying calm, there's nothing else."

A team of gold-medal medical nurses and nutritionists are waiting to ensure that any discomfort Liu Yifei has during pregnancy will be resolved as soon as possible.

"Husband," Liu Yifei called him, "have you decided on a name for your child?"

Liu Yifei didn't want her parents-in-law and parents to name the child. She was a bit paranoid in this regard, so she wanted the couple to choose the name themselves.

"Not yet. I've been looking through books in the past few days to think of a good one." Zhang Yuanjun also wanted to get it himself. (End of chapter)
