Superstars start as villains

Chapter 33 Singing is not my strong point.

These days, it's not news for actors to sing across borders, and for singers to become actors across borders, but Zhou Xing has an extra title of songwriter.

There is a saying: A tailor who doesn't want to be a cook is not a good driver?

Originally, the audience had given a high regard to a singer-songwriter like Zhou Xing, but they suddenly discovered that he still has the identity of an actor, and he is not just an ordinary actor, but the number one male.

"Wow, this week is amazing. I can sing, write, and act. Why haven't I heard of it before?"

"Huh? Zhou Xing who is acting? Is that Lian Jin? He's so handsome."

This episode of the program was quite successful. The average audience rating of the Sound of Music increased by 3 points that night. When Zhou Xing sang [Notepad] live, the audience rating increased by an exaggerated 6 points. The radio station was quite satisfied, and even Inviting Zeng Ruowen to record a program, of course, is free, even if it is this feedback.

After that, Zhou Xing began to frequent the music radio station at night. He didn’t know that the signal of Xiangjiang Radio Station was much wider than that of the TV station. Baodao and the nearby Pengcheng and Yangcheng could receive the programs here through the antenna.

Yu Yang, an ordinary office worker, graduated from Xiangjiang University, and became a small leader of a listed company just after graduation. On the surface, he has a decent job that many people envy.

Three years after graduation, he finally saved enough down payment to buy a house with a loan. However, just when he wanted to tell his girlfriend the good news and propose.

But the girlfriend said: "Let's break up, you only have work in your eyes, and you don't care about me at all."

Yu Yang was struck by lightning, didn't he work so hard just to give his girlfriend a home?Is he wrong?

"You don't even know what I want."

"Then what exactly do you want?" Yu Yang didn't understand.

Sitting in the back seat of the taxi smelling of alcohol, Yu Yang still didn't understand what a woman wanted.

"Boss, don't vomit. Why do young people think so hard and drink so much?" The taxi driver tried to drive the car as smoothly as possible.

Yu Yang told his story with a wry smile: "I have a house, a mansion of more than 600 square feet, but I don't have a home."

"Hey, you youngsters really, fell in love and made yourself like this, forget it, let me play a song for you."

"Love hurts,
cried in pain,

tired of crying
Ambivalence always insists"

Yu Yang couldn't hold back anymore, and burst into tears.

In fact, many office workers have to work overtime at night, and they often can't afford to drive. They either take the subway, bus, or taxi, dragging their tired bodies back, and these places are covered by broadcasting.

From the fifth day, the box office of [Central Love Story] broke through 200 million, officially starting the road to counterattack. When the box office of other films was declining, this performance naturally attracted the attention of many media.

On the sixth day of its release, the single-day box office broke 300 million.

On the seventh day, 320 million.

All of a sudden, the major media in Xiangjiang began to exclaim: the dark horse is coming, and at this time, the weekly box office of "Central Love Story" has exceeded 1200 million. Based on the cost of 300 million, it is already a big profit.

Brother Le Defeng is now wearing sunglasses every day, and he can clearly see his joyful mood.

However, all this is not over yet. [Central Love Story] was released for two weeks, and the box office exceeded 2300 million. It is only 1 million behind the No.300 [Tokyo Strategy] in the box office rankings, and the attendance rate of the other party is already exhausted. .

Immediately, many media and film critics began to study how such a low-cost urban romantic drama could become a spoiler in the box office rankings all the way, and might even sit on the box office champion.

First of all, Zhou Xing and Zeng Ruowen can only be regarded as newcomers in the film industry, and their box office appeal is almost zero. Even if they are placed in the entire entertainment industry, they are not considered big names. The lineup is naturally a complete failure.

Secondly, it is a famous director. Brother Feng is naturally a famous director. However, most of his films are not well-received, otherwise the media would not ridicule him, and he will not be able to play commercial movies. Commercial movies, don’t they rely on box office? ?It’s not hard to speak without box office!

Finally, there is the plot. If you want to say that this drama has any innovations, it can't be counted. There are many similar urban romance films, and most of them don't do well at the box office.

However, when many media were at a loss and expressed their inability to understand the popularity of this movie, a film review written by the famous film critic "Shu Meiren" was published on the Oriental Daily.

"A few days ago, my best friend introduced a movie. I heard it was an urban love drama. I refused to watch it. After all, I have passed the age of youthful girl fantasy. However, my best friend recommended a song called [Notepad] , After hearing it, I decided to watch this movie, and I was already prepared for a bad movie before I went.”

"Sure enough, the opening scene is a clichéd plot, but there is one thing to say, Zhou Xing is still pretty handsome, but unfortunately it's not my style, until the appearance of Kinki, this neurotic woman is so silly and cute, ahem, digressing Far away, let's get to the point. In fact, many people don't understand why this movie has such a high box office. It is because they have no work experience. In fact, nearly 80% of the box office of this movie comes from white-collar workers. Many plots in the play It directly hits the pain points in the workplace, such as Zhang Shaoxing helping Kinki get ahead, finding the culprit of gossip, etc. This is a very flattering film."

"Of course, when it comes to this point, I have to mention the performances of the male and female protagonists. Zhang Shaoxing, played by Zhou Xing, fully displayed the chic and handsome male protagonists in urban romance movies, especially in the scene of getting drunk at midnight, which also showed him. The melancholy and decadent side makes people feel distressed, and Kinki, played by Zeng Ruwen, is a little neurotic and inflexible, but it is just right, not only does not make people disgusted, but also looks very cute, making people feel a kind of Rush forward to protect her desire."

"The last point is also the point I want to complain about. When will Zhou Xing release the CD of [Notepad]? Now I can only listen to the cassette tape recorded by the radio station every day. The sound quality is too bad, isn't it?"

As Shu Meiren said, more than 80% of the box office of [Central Love Story] is contributed by office workers. Notepad] this song.

Some audience members even shouted to Zhou Xing from the air: "Singing so well and being talented, don't waste your time acting, just concentrate on making music and wait to buy the album."

Regarding this, Zhou Xing could only smile wryly: I am an actor!Singing is really not my forte.
