Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 746 The collapse of the Lunar New Year stalls
Celebrities probably can't hide their pregnancy. If you pay special attention to it, even the due date can be speculated by netizens.

This year, two top A-list actresses in the industry are pregnant, Liu Yifei and Yang Ying.

The latter is really top-notch in terms of traffic!
And according to rough calculations by netizens, the due dates of the two should be similar, both in mid-to-late January.

So here’s the problem. Liu Yifei has temporarily withdrawn from the public eye since she became pregnant and is raising her baby at home, but Yang Ying has been active in front of the camera this year.

Even now it's December, and she's still promoting with the crew of "The Ferryman"!
And no one could tell she was pregnant unless told specifically.

Many reporters are puzzled by the intensity of her work.

The contrast is really too obvious.

One simply disappeared from the public and rested peacefully, while the other was always active and could not tell whether she was pregnant.

And according to the industry's understanding of Huang Xiaoming's character, Xiao Ming should not keep his pregnant wife so busy - Xiao Ming is a very typical big man from Shandong Province, with domineering machismo in his bones.

A reporter couldn't help but asked her this question at the press conference of "The Ferryman".

The reporter asked her: "From the time you started making movies to today's collaboration with Zhang Jiajia and Wang Jiawei, it has been a smooth journey."

But being misunderstood is the fate of an expresser, especially when it comes to online communication, especially for negative artists like Yang Ying.

Reporter: “It went very smoothly.”

Yang Ying smiled and said: "Everyone thinks others are going well, but in fact everyone has their own troubles."

Yang Ying looked at the reporter with a strange expression: "Ah? Do you think I went well?"

There seems to be no problem in this interview. The "Grand Slam" is Yang Ying's self-deprecating statement. She also actively refuted the reporter's view that she was successful, believing that everyone will have troubles at every stage.

After talking about life, let’s go back to the movie “The Ferryman”.

Reporter: "When you didn't get the award, you still thought that there would be more awards to win in the future. If you really got all the awards now, you would think about what to do in the future."

The reporter also asked her: "You and Yifei are due so close to each other, and you have also collaborated on "The Secret of the Dragon". Have you privately exchanged pregnancy experiences?"

Yang Ying said: "There are many. There are always many trivial things in life that make people worry. In fact, I feel that this journey has not been completely smooth. If it had gone well, I should have won a big award now. Slam, then worry-free, maybe there will be other worries at that time.”

Yang Ying: "Every stage will have different worries, so no one is completely smooth. So when you just said that I was very smooth, I wanted to say that in fact, everyone seems to think you are quite simple when looking at others. , it went quite smoothly, but actually it took a lot of effort.”

Reporters naturally thought that as the co-stars of "The Secret of the Dragon", Liu Yifei and Yang Ying were naturally friends, but in fact, on the set, the two rarely met each other, let alone communicated, and Ding Sitian and Shirley Yang did not play opposite each other. , neither of them has been added to WeChat yet.

In order to avoid showing her cowardice, Yang Ying chose to lie: "We will talk about some maternal knowledge with Yifei, as well as things to pay attention to after the baby is born. We will talk about it."

Reporter: "What are you worried about now?"

Yang Ying didn't realize that the reporter was guiding her to speak.

Yang Ying was not angry, but explained patiently and said that she would return to Hong Kong in January to wait for delivery.

Yang Ying's interview was cut off from the beginning to the end, and the sentence "If everything goes well, I should have won a Grand Slam by now" was cut out. Yang Ying was ridiculed.

But black and red are also red, Yang Ying doesn't seem to care, and neither does the crew of "The Ferryman".

The Lunar New Year period has entered the Christmas-New Year's Day cycle. During these two weeks, two blockbusters, "The Ferryman" and "Railway Tiger", were released. "The Ferryman" is the first film produced by Ahri. The cast of this movie is very "internet". It is a best-selling author and cross-border director. It is adapted from his own book. It has its own traffic. It has an all-star cast and is a favorite among young people. Producer Wang Jiawei also brought over Liang Chaowei and Jin Chengwu.

This movie has almost all the elements that Internet manufacturers think can be a hit!
The 8000 million sales on the first day seemed to indicate that the movie was about to be a success.

"Railway Tigers", which was released on the same day, is a very magical film. There is no Dragon Prince in the cast, there is no Dragon Prince in the publicity and posters, and there is no Dragon Prince in the movie premiere. But when the audience walked into the theater, they found that the Dragon Prince The number of scenes is second only to Jackie Chan and Wang Kai, and more than Huang Zitao.

It's obviously testing a comeback.

Netizens shouted that they had been deceived and started trolling mercilessly online.

After the first day, the reputation of "The Ferryman" could not be sustained.

In general, among the domestic films released during the Lunar New Year period so far, only "The Death of Romance" has gained a good reputation, but it did not make a box office hit.

The rest of the movies all fell apart!

The voice of bad-mouthing has reached an unprecedented height.

It was also on this day that Penguin received the long-awaited filming permit for "The Birth of the Witch."

"The higher-ups should have realized that there is a problem in the market." Zhang Yuanjun made this judgment while making a video call with his wife after performing in Ludao. "This year's box office growth will definitely not meet expectations."

At the beginning of this year, the bosses of various film companies, including leaders of relevant departments, confidently claimed that this year’s total box office would exceed the 600 billion mark. However, currently, there is definitely no hope of 600 billion, and Zhang Yuanjun has not obtained this year’s data. He even thinks that it will not reach 500 billion this year.

He is on the front line, and this year feels particularly different. Actors and production companies are in an extremely delicate game.

Actors' salaries vary from day to day, but production companies don't have enough money to pay salaries and launch additional projects. The actor market is booming, but production seems to be squeezing a bubble, and development has fallen into a trough.

This refers to the movie market. Zhang Yuanjun doesn’t know much about the TV series.

"If your "The Birth of the Witch" wants to catch you, I can catch you, but I can let you go." Zhang Yuanjun said, "I guess the higher-ups also want to see if they can make an urban supernatural movie to stimulate the market."

In fact, this kind of action-thriller movie does not need to have police characters. The General Administration is really not that dull. They also know that the market depends on blockbusters.

Just a little, not too gory.

"The Fuse" and "Slaying the Wolf" don't matter if they are fighting to the death, but at most they will make you smear some blood on your face and vomit some in your mouth. Don't even think about shooting blood and triggering adrenaline.

The requirements for "The Birth of a Witch" are the same. You can hit, you can explode, you can be injured and bleed, but you can't spit blood.

Penguin has no objections. As long as it is allowed to be shot, this original IP will not be in vain.

"Then how can your "John Wick" character come in?" Liu Yifei was dissatisfied.

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuanjun also has a headache. The introduction of the second part is still being discussed, and some people don’t want the second part to come in.

"The first part did take shortcuts, but now the second part is not that easy." Even Zhang Yuanjun cannot be said to have fully grasped the scale of censorship.

"What should we do?" Of course Liu Yifei wants "John Wick 2" to be released in China, so that her husband's performance can be improved to a higher level.

"Let's see, several companies are still fighting for it." What Zhang Yuanjun can do is relatively limited, "Just be good at home. I will be back in a few days and prepare delicious food for you." In the end, he returned to caring for his wife. .
