Actor: My Entertainment Era

One is the number one director in the Chinese film industry - in the eyes of many netizens, Zhang Yimou, Wang Jiawei and others are not worthy of carrying Li An's shoes.

One is the number one actor in the Chinese-language film industry - everyone has their own reasons for this. Some people think that the number one actor in the Chinese-language film industry is Zhang Yuanjun, while others say it is Tony Leung Chiu-wai.

But it is undeniable that both of them are the brightest stars in the Chinese film industry.

Although the crews of both parties repeatedly stated before the screening that the two films were not competitive, Li An even made no secret of his love for Zhang Yuanjun during domestic promotions and bluntly stated that he wanted to work with him in a film. Zhang Yuanjun also responded that he wanted to work with Li An .

The two creators get along very well.

But since the two films were released on the same day, comparisons will inevitably be made.

"Billy Lynn" grossed 2337.8 million on its first day (including spot-screening box office), ranking third on the day, while "Redemption" received a comprehensive score of 3042.11 million, occupying the runner-up position on the day. The champion was 8 days after its release. "Doctor Strange".

It is worth mentioning that the 120-frame tickets for "Billy Lynn" are indeed hard to come by. In the two theaters across the country that can watch the 120-frame effect, tickets have been queued for a week.

Some viewers are willing to pay a premium to experience this new technology. Of course, many viewers did feel "a little dizzy" after watching the movie.

One viewer described it this way: "It's just like when we go to a large TV store. The color and clarity give people the feeling of having a huge 4K TV in front of them."

Several female viewers also mentioned that they can't help but look at the actors' faces for flaws.

This is all the discomfort caused by watching movies that are too high-definition.

"Billy Lynn" earned just over 7000 million in its first weekend, while "Redemption" earned more than 8000 million.

The two films are also indistinguishable in terms of reputation. Taking Douban as an example, "Billy Lynn" opened in the morning and scored a high 8.2, while "Redemption" scored 8.4.

Both films have received high critical acclaim.

In the review of "Redemption", a senior movie fan commented:
"Gu Changwei's reputation in the film industry is not as high as that of Li An, but in terms of filmmakers, perhaps only Wang Jiawei in the Chinese film industry can do a better job than him. Under Gu Changwei's lens, Zhang Yuanjun gave the most heart-warming and exciting performance since his film career, and also No wonder Zhang Yuanjun sincerely thanked the director during the film's road show. Li An's choice of 120 frames also meant abandoning some of the audience. The film was both rejected domestically and internationally, and Li An's 120 frame plan could be announced in advance as a failure. "

"Billy Lynn and Li Fuyong both live in the past, and both can't extricate themselves from the pain of the past. But for such a role, newcomer Joe Alwyn is really no match for Zhang Yuanjun - we really can't ask the director to transfer him to Zhang Yuanjun’s level. Zhang Yuanjun is so good at playing such a complex and depressed character. There is at least 10 Leonardo differences between Qiao and Zhang Yuanjun.”

At present, "Redemption" is slightly ahead in terms of word-of-mouth and box office.

Perhaps in order to ease the comparison and competition between "Redemption" and "Billy Lynn" caused by netizens, Zhang Yuanjun posted a photo with director Li An on his personal Weibo at 10pm on Sunday.

On that day, Zhang Yuanjun was performing in Pengcheng. Director Li An took the time to come and watch the performance, and even gave Zhang Yuanjun a bouquet of flowers.

Zhang Yuanjun thanked Li An on Weibo:
"Thank you, Director Li An, for coming to see the performance of "Monument"." Even so, he did not forget to advertise his play.

After the performance in Pengcheng, the crew of "Monument" headed north to Chang'an.

…………

Zhang Yuanjun was performing outside, leaving his wife alone at home.

Liu Yifei used to be able to stay alone, but for some unknown reason during her pregnancy, she couldn't stay alone anymore.

When her husband is not at home, she has to talk to others. Sometimes when her mother is free, the two of them talk endlessly. When her mother is not free, she goes to play with her good friends in Beijing. If not, she talks to her aunt at home and comes to check on her. Speak to your body's doctor and nutritionist.

As a result, under the influence of the nanny, Liu Yifei wanted to change the garden in the front yard into a vegetable garden.

"This is fine." The doctor who came to examine her felt that Liu Yifei was better this way. "Pregnant women are emotionally unstable. Talking to others more and communicating with the outside world will be good for both you and the child."

"Have you been up too late lately?"

"It's normal to wake up at night." Liu Yifei said.

"How is your sleep quality? Do you have insomnia?"

"I don't have insomnia, but I sleep lightly and wake up several times in the middle of the night."

The doctor joked: "Teacher Zhang is not at home during this period."

Mother Liu on the side knew what was going on and smiled without saying a word.

Liu Yifei blushed in embarrassment: "He is performing somewhere else and will be back in a few days."

The doctor was not surprised and said: "The absence of the husband will indeed cause a certain amount of mental stress to the pregnant woman and affect the quality of sleep. This is a normal phenomenon. There is no need to prescribe medicine. Don't be too nervous." After doing the necessary examinations, the doctor Liu Yifei was asked about some private topics between husband and wife, and Liu Yifei said: "I haven't had it for two months, because I'm afraid it will affect the children."

The doctor nodded: "The due date is in mid-January next year. Premature birth is particularly easy in the last few months. You should pay more attention at home. If you really need it, you can also take other methods."

Liu Yifei was very shy when discussing her marital life in front of her mother.

The doctor said with a smile: "There is no need to be ashamed of this kind of thing. There is scientific basis for it. I have a pamphlet here. You can take it back and read it."

Liu Xiaoli pretended not to hear anything and got up to get the doctor a glass of water.

The doctor flipped through next year's calendar and said to the mother and daughter, "Your family may have to spend the New Year in the hospital."

Next year’s New Year is at the end of January, which is exactly Liu Yifei’s due date.

Liu Xiaoli said: "If it happens to be during those days, there is nothing we can do. Birthdays during the New Year are considered a happy event."

In terms of family life, no one, including Liu Yifei, wants to spend the New Year in the hospital, but as Liu Xiaoli said, there is nothing we can do if we really catch up.

The doctor gave some instructions and left.

Liu Xiaoli stayed at home with her daughter for the rest of the day.

Even at night, Liu Xiaoli did not leave, laughing at her daughter: "My husband is not at home, so I, a mother, will sleep with you." After all, she was still worried that her daughter would not sleep well.

"mom!"

Liu Xiaoli smiled and said, "What's there to be ashamed of?"

Liu Yifei really slept soundly that night.

The next morning, Liu Xiaoli left and Yang Mi arrived.

"You're such a busy person, do you still have time to come to my place?"

Liu Yifei was very strange. The two had not seen each other since she was pregnant. Yang Mi did not say she was coming when she came to the house this time. She only called Liu Yifei when she arrived at the gate of the community and said that she was nearby and stopped by to see Liu Yifei.

"On your way," Yang Mi sat down and said with a smile, "If I don't come here, I'm afraid my children won't know me in the future." She also knew that she had never come to see Liu Yifei.

"What are you busy with recently?" Liu Yifei asked casually.

"Aren't you busy meeting the director and the producer?" Yang Mi said. Yang Mi was very busy in the first half of this year. The film and television version of "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" were filmed in turn, as well as "Xiu Chun Dao 2", but She has been out of work since July, and she only came to see Liu Yifei now.

"What drama did we talk about again?" I asked casually.

Yang Mi said: "I will join the cast of "The Negotiator" in a few days. Stop talking about me. How are you?"

Liu Yifei smiled: "I stay at home every day and have nothing to do. Unlike you, there are still filming, and I can't act even if I want to."

"You haven't agreed on a postpartum comeback?" Yang Mi didn't believe it.

"No." Liu Yifei chose to lie, "The crew looked for her, but it was not good.

"But it's okay." Liu Yifei smiled, "I still want to take care of the children by myself, so I'm not in a hurry to film."

Liu Yifei left Yang Mi at home for lunch, and Yang Mi asked her, "Do you know Su Lun?"

Liu Yifei's heart skipped a beat, and then she said, "We know each other, but we're not very familiar with each other." Liu Yifei chose to be reserved.

"I heard that she is working on a romantic comedy, and I said that you two know each other." Yang Mi has been observing Liu Yifei's expression.

Liu Yifei shook her head: "She is the executive director of my "Wang Xiaofang". We only knew each other, but we dispersed after filming. If you want to get to know her, I will contact you."

"No, I can just contact you myself. You don't need to ask for favors." Yang Mi said.

After dinner, Yang Mi sat with Liu Yifei for a while and then left. (End of chapter)
