Actor: My Entertainment Era

Many people say that fans can no longer get money from movies.

However, "Eternal Love" still achieved a good result of 4.28 million in its first weekend.

Yang Mi + Yang Yang really works.

But the box office boom for the movie was just in the first few days, and Ali was obviously prepared, announcing on Wednesday of the second week that he had completed all offline roadshow activities for the movie.

From the current perspective, the result of 5 million is actually quite good. It has been a long time since Yang Mi saw a movie starring herself have such a box office figure.

The final box office of this film is believed to be between 7 and 8 million yuan. "Three Lives Three Worlds" is indeed a big hit, and its influence should be respected.

However, this kind of achievement actually has no real value.

The box office revenue that fans bring to their idol's movies is not recognized by the industry. This kind of achievement will not gild the actor. It is not correct to say this. It will not gild the actor in the film industry.

The actors can take this achievement back to the drama industry and say that they are accomplished movie stars, and maybe they can ask for more pay.

The four "Tiny Times" movies grossed nearly 18 billion yuan at the box office. Does the industry think those actors are great?

The protagonist of the summer season is still "Wolf Warrior 2".

On the first weekend night of August, the total box office of "Wolf Warrior 8" reached 2 million yuan, 3 billion yuan in the early morning of the next day, and 32 billion yuan in the afternoon of the same day.

Basically, if you refresh Weibo every half a day, you can see a good news about "Wolf Warrior 2".

The statistics interface of "Wolf Warrior 2" on various online ticketing platforms has been growing significantly.

With the popularity of "Wolf Warrior 2", more behind-the-scenes stories have been dug out by netizens.

For example, Wu Jing once asked Zhang Yuanjun to find a young actor who was willing to play Zhuo Yifan. Wu Jing was also envious of the traffic and appeal of young actors, and wanted to find a young actor to get some attention for his movie. However, Wu Jing and Zhang Yuanjun met more than 20 young actors, and none of them was willing to play Zhuo Yifan. Some of them were unwilling to train in advance, some were unwilling to go to Africa, or some thought the pay was too low.

In the end, it was Zhang Han, who was eager to transform himself, who recommended himself and got the role.

For another example, the original heroine of the movie was not Lu Jingshan, but another Hong Kong actress. Unexpectedly, this actress suddenly changed her mind just before filming began and demanded a pay increase, otherwise she would go on strike. Wu Jing was not used to such an actor, so she terminated the contract immediately and asked for help from her good friend Lu Jingshan. Lu Jingshan didn't say a word and dragged a suitcase to Africa to save Wu Jing.

All these behind-the-scenes stories, in turn, help the film continue to make great strides.

Many people have noticed that Zhang Yuanjun appears in many behind-the-scenes stories of "Wolf Warrior 2".

He was responsible for investment and finding actors. People from the production company also said that he helped Wu Jing revise the scripts of two "Wolf Warrior" films. Even some foreign teams in the "Wolf Warrior 2" team were introduced by Zhang Yuanjun.

When Zhang Yuanjun was asked this question by a reporter during an offline event, he said: "They were all helped by friends, not worth mentioning."

The more popular "Wolf Warrior 2" became, the less he wanted to take advantage of it. This was what Wu Jing deserved, and he also really felt that the work he did for Wu Jing was not worth mentioning.

Zhang Yuanjun expressed his best wishes to Wu Jing at the interview site: "Of course I hope that the box office of Wolf Warrior 2 will be as high as possible. I am very happy that Brother Jing has achieved this result now."

The reporter then said something sensitive: "It's said online that you invested in Wolf Warrior 2. The higher the box office of Wolf Warrior 2, the more money you will make."

Zhang Yuanjun learned a lot from his wife: "When Jing Ge was trying to invest, no one gave him money."

The reporter was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

Zhang Yuanjun finished the event and went home.

"The Witch" is still being filmed in an intense and orderly manner, but by now the domestic materials have been almost shot.

Lu Yang has already sent some people to Thailand to make arrangements.

The crew welcomed an unexpected guest visitor that day - Yang Mi.

Really, Yang Mi has never visited Liu Yifei's class!
Liu Yifei was only informed that Yang Mi would come today an hour before she arrived on the set, so was she really here to visit Liu Yifei? Yang Mi said on the phone that she wanted to give Liu Yifei a surprise.

As soon as Yang Mi arrived at the studio, she saw Liu Yifei and took her hand, calling her in surprise and affectionately: "Xixi, long time no see."

Liu Yifei was naturally happy that her good friend came to visit her on set. She put aside her suspicions temporarily and started chatting cordially with Yang Mi.

Yang Mi also talked about Zhang Yuanjun and the child: "Your teacher Zhang is really nice, a grown man, but he brought the child to accompany you to film."

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if he takes care of the child. He just needs to play with the child. He has a lot of work to do."

The two chatted for a few words, and then Liu Yifei went to film, and Yang Mi sat next to Lu Yang and watched.

She had a great time chatting with Lu Yang.

From "Assassins 2" to the "Legend of Fuyao" she is currently filming, to "The Witch" currently being filmed by Lu Yang, and the second drama signed to Lu Yang "Assassination of Novelist".

Liu Yifei actually didn’t know that Yang Mi had fought for “The Witch”!
At the beginning of the project, when Penguin contacted Lu Yang, "Assassins 2" was being filmed, and Yang Mi knew about the project "The Witch".

At that time, she didn't know what story "The Witch" was about, but she actively communicated to Lu Yang that she wanted to act in this movie.

But Sun Zhonghuai had already decided on Liu Yifei, but Yang Mi thought at the time that Liu Yifei would not accept a script like "The Witch".

The story is so simple!

You've won the Venice Film Festival Best Actress award, and you're taking on this kind of film?

So for a while she was very confident that she could get the script for "The Witch".

But Penguin just wouldn't give in. If it came to filming a TV series, Sun Zhonghuai would definitely consider Yang Mi, but if it came to filming a movie, Sun Zhonghuai didn't really trust her.

Until the beginning of this year, Yang Mi was still trying to get "The Witch" from Lu Yang and Penguin.

The film company was unwilling to reveal the casting news to Yang Mi in advance, so she had to let it slip like this.

To Yang Mi's surprise, Liu Yifei actually accepted the role in "The Witch"!
Afterwards, Yang Mi found a reason for Liu Yifei: "It is safer for her to take on this kind of small- and medium-budget movie after her postpartum comeback."

Just like when she returned to work after giving birth, she took on idol romance dramas such as "Fall in Love with You" and "Love in the City", all of which were for the sake of stability.

Today, she took a leave from the crew of "Legend of Fuyao" to visit Liu Yifei on the set. Firstly, she and Liu Yifei have not seen each other for a long time. Yang Mi values ​​fame and fortune, but Liu Yifei is a childhood friend after all, and the two of them don't have any substantial conflict of interest. Liu Yifei is a little different from others in her eyes; secondly, she also wanted to see what "The Witch" is that made Liu Yifei give her first post-natal drama to Penguin.

This was almost the first time that Yang Mi watched Liu Yifei act on the set since she got married.

It's really different to watch it live and on screen.

When Yang Mi was filming "Baby", the director pointed out a very serious acting problem - she acted the same in every scene.

This is what she brought over from the TV series, because the TV series has a front and back episode, and if the performances are different, it will distract the audience.

But it’s different with movies. If the director is not satisfied with the first take, the actors will have to change their method, state, or even understanding to perform the second take. If every take is the same, why would the director cut?

This is also where movies are superior to TV series.

Yang Mi watched Liu Yifei's performance on the spot. Although this was just an action movie with a simple plot, Liu Yifei's performance still made people applaud. She could really give many different interpretations.

Yang Mi was a little dissatisfied in her heart, thinking that as long as she was given time to fully understand the script, she would be able to perform eight different ways in one scene.

But this did not prevent Yang Mi, who was sitting at the scene, from admiring Liu Yifei. However, she still said in her heart: "You learn from who you are, and it is different to have a movie star husband teaching you step by step."

She was somewhat reluctant to admit that this was the result of Liu Yifei's own talent and hard work. (End of this chapter)
