"Sister, why are you calling me so late? Is there something urgent?"
Seeing that it was Chen Yuwen's call, Qi Jia relaxed her breath and said calmly,
"It's nothing serious. It's just that "Sadness Is Like a River" will be released tomorrow. Although Director Luo didn't say it, as the leading actor, you should remember to help promote it. This is basic etiquette, understand?"
Chen Yuwen's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Qi Jia was busy filming these days, and the weather in Yudu was hot, so she was dizzy.
If Chen Yuwen didn't remind her, Qi Jia would really forget it.
"Okay sister, I'll post it now." Qi Jia immediately said,
After hanging up the phone, Qi Jia opened Douyin, searched for the official account of the sad crew, and found the premiere trailer they posted.
After adding his own text, he directly forwarded it to the dynamic of his own account,
"Hello everyone, good evening, the movie starring me, adapted from the famous writer Xiao Si's work of the same name "Sadness Against the Current" will be released tomorrow. I look forward to meeting you tomorrow. Let's oppose school violence together!"
He posted the same content again on Weibo. After dealing with all the things, he saw that it was getting late, so he went to bed~
At nine o'clock in the morning, Qi Jia didn't get up until the assistant came and knocked on the door.
He went downstairs with the assistant, took a car to the set, and started today's shooting.
Although it was a bit awkward last night, fortunately, Qi Jia and Zhou Ye behaved as usual, and no one felt that there was anything wrong.
At 7pm, the crew moved to the Erchang Cultural and Creative Park in Eling, Yuzhong District.
Today, the last scene will be filmed here. After Qi Jia, who plays Xiao Bei, agrees to protect Chen Nian,
he finds Wei Lai, who just came out of the bar, and threatens her not to bully Chen Nian again.
The scene is very simple. The only difficulty is that Qi Jia has a cigarette flicking action.
The director asked him to take a puff of cigarette first, and then flick the cigarette butt on Wei Lai's face.
It is easy to flick it out, but it is still difficult to flick it accurately on Wei Lai's face.
While the crew was setting up the scene, Qi Jia kept practicing the action of flicking the cigarette butt.
Half an hour later, everything was ready. Qi Jia was wearing a gray sleeveless hoodie and stood outside the camera.
The script supervisor finished clapping and the shooting officially started.
Wei Lai, played by Zhou Ye, came out of the bar door in exquisite dress, lowered her head and played with her mobile phone while walking.
At this time, the camera was given to Qi Jia,
He walked out of the shadows smoking a cigarette, took a deep puff, and suddenly shouted to Wei Lai.
"Hey!"
When Wei Lai turned around, he flicked the cigarette butt in his hand forward, and then rushed forward to press her against the wall.
Unexpectedly, after the cigarette butt was flicked out, it was not accurate enough, and it did not hit her face, but flew past her ear.
"Ka!" The director shouted to stop directly.
"Are you okay?" Qi Jia hurriedly walked forward and asked Zhou Ye with concern.
"It's okay, it hit the brim of the hat, not the skin." Zhou Ye waved his hand and said,
"Xiaobei, Wei Lai, get ready, let's do another one." The director shouted.
Ten minutes later, the second shot started,
This time Qi Jia estimated the distance, flicked his finger, and successfully flicked the cigarette butt to Zhou Ye's face.
"Ah!"
Zhou Ye, who played Wei Lai, screamed in fear. Before he could see who it was, Xiao Bei pushed him against the wall.
Driven by Qi Jia's emotions, Zhou Ye performed very well in this scene. The frightened expression on his face made Director Zeng nod repeatedly.
Xiao Bei pressed Wei Lai's shoulders tightly with his arms, pressing her face against the wall.
Then he took out a dagger, thrust it in front of her, and whispered to her ear.
"Don't touch Chen Nian!"
After that, he drew his knife and left.
The camera gave a close-up of Wei Lai's face. She was so frightened that her facial muscles kept shaking. After five seconds,
"Cut! Very good, perfect!"
After Director Zeng called for a stop, Qi Jia immediately turned around and walked to Zhou Ye, helping her up.
"What's wrong? Did you get hurt?"
Zhou Ye wiped the dust off his face casually, not caring at all.
"No big deal, it's okay."
After taking two more shots, this scene was officially passed, and today's shooting was over.
On the way back, Qi Jia opened his phone and found that Zhang Ruonan and Chen Yuwen had sent him messages.
Chen Yuwen's message was that he could pay attention to the box office of "Sadness Against the Current" when he was free.
Zhang Ruonan sent him a few photos of the audience watching the movie in the theater, and the crew interacting with the audience on the stage.
From the photos, the attendance rate seems to be good, but I don't know how the reputation is on the spot, and how the screening rate is?
I sent messages to Zhang Ruonan and Chen Yuwen, but I didn't see them reply. I guess they are both busy.
QiJia didn't care. After putting away his phone, he decided to go to the cinema to watch it himself.
At 9:30 in the evening,
Qi Jia took his assistant out of the hotel and took a taxi to the nearby Yida Plaza. The assistant bought the tickets.
There was still some time before the show. After the two had some supper, they saw that it was almost time, so they checked their tickets and entered.
When the movie started, Qi Jia looked at the almost full audience and felt a lot more at ease.
After all, it was adapted from a novel, so there was naturally a fan base.
However, not long after the movie started, his brows furrowed, because the edited film was quite different from what he expected.
The rhythm was too fast, and many plots were not explained clearly. Some people even got up and left after watching half of it.
Qi Jia also heard people whispering about how the original work was changed beyond recognition, which was really disappointing.
After watching the movie, Qi Jia no longer had any extravagant expectations for word of mouth.
It had nothing to do with acting. In fact, everyone acted well. The problem was with the script.
This is also the difficulty of many novels or comic adaptations, because no matter how they are filmed, there is always a gap between imagination and reality, and it is difficult to fully meet the expectations of the original fans.
Not long after returning to the room, Zhang Ruonan's message also came.
A cracked expression, it seems that the situation on their side is similar.
Qi Jia thought about it and comforted her a few words. Not long after chatting, Zhang Ruonan had to go back to work, so the two hurriedly ended the chat.
It was past midnight, and Qi Jia opened Douyin to see today's word of mouth.
As expected, the movie was criticized online, mainly by the original fans who were disappointed with the movie.
"Bah! Trash, what did you shoot, Qi Jia? I am so disappointed. Geneva, return your money."
"Qi Jia is so arrogant. He just became famous and wants to make money. This movie is just a bunch of defense."
"It's the old routine of domestic youth films. I slipped away halfway through. Only the second male and second female actors are good-looking."
"I was a fan of the original novel and watched it for Qi Jia. I thought he was going to show me a big one, but he showed me a big one. I have stopped being a fan since then."
Amid the scolding, Qi Jia also I found a few good reviews,
"Wow, Gu Senxiang and Gu Senxi are so realistic, they are what I imagined them to be."
"Gu Senxiang is so kind, why can't the movie give her a good ending."
"Gu Senxi is so miserable, he lost the two most important people in his life."
"I didn't expect that Gu Senxi was played by Da Congming, his acting is really good, I was really touched."
"Oh my god, I really like Zhang Ruonan and Qi Jia, they are so much like a couple."
Damn! Why are you scolding me? I am the second male lead, not the male lead.
After reading the comments, I found that most of them were scolding myself and asking me to return the money. Qi Jia didn't know what to say.
This is really: the old lady got into the bed, and I laughed!
