reshape life

The release of "A Action" detonated the entire entertainment circle.From the second day after the premiere, all the entertainment magazines and movie weekly magazines had headlines related to "Action".

And Lu Heng, who gave an absolutely wonderful performance in the movie, instantly became the object of praise in the industry.

Xu Wenjiang, a well-known film critic in Xiangcheng, commented in "Movie" that "A Action" is "a rare and sincere work in Xiangcheng gunfight movies, with explosive points and depth", and believes that Lu Heng's canine teeth "achieve the whole movie ", endowing a purely commercial film with more human brilliance and struggle; in contrast, although the leading actor Li Guorui played by Liu Jiawei has superb acting skills and is remarkable, but also due to the limitations of the script, it is inevitable that he will be a bit "in the box" Wei Guangzheng", can only be said to be "regular".

However, Xu Wenjiang also pointed out in the comments that if it weren't for Liu Yingdi's superb performance in the film, then there would be no transformation and growth of Cangya.It is precisely because of Li Guorui's loving father-like tolerance and love that he can move the canine tooth who has been reduced to the bottom and struggles to survive.

For Quan Ya, Li Guorui's appearance satisfied all his fantasies about his father.It is human nature to yearn for light and warmth, and no matter how cruel people are, they will retain a little softness deep in their hearts.Therefore, Quan Fang changed for Li Guorui, even at the expense of the drug lord Brother Ming, who was a giant to him.

Then leads to the most unbearable tragedy in the dog's tooth life.

The creator of his tragic fate is precisely the extremely beautiful father he imagined deep in his heart.The enemy he had hated for 18 years was precisely the one who gave him his life.

Life and death seem so cruel and ridiculous at this moment.Brother Ming wanted to live, but finally died under Li Guorui's gun.Cangya is alive and dead, because all his beliefs and sustenance are destroyed at this moment.

The shot that Brother Ming shot in his chest will be remembered forever by him. He is a living person who is not expected and has no future.Although modern medicine has saved Cang Ya's life, the Cang Ya who suffered all the hardships and insisted on living desperately, and yearned for his father in the depths of his heart, has died, died at the gunpoint of his biological father.

"...I don't know how director Mai Chengliang conceived this plot. After the gunshot, I saw Canine Fang lying powerlessly in Li Guorui's arms, staring at the sky with dim eyes, desperately numb and ashamed as death Even I, an old man in his 40s, couldn't help but burst into tears. Once again, I sigh this talented actor Lu Heng who is only 15 years old. The two most classic scenes in the movie, one is the scene of Cang Ya staring at the sky after being shot, and the other is the scene of Cang Ya smiling back before entering the drug rehabilitation center... Of course, the most well-deserved climax of the film is the arrest at the pier Brother Ming's plot."

"...It has to be said that the setting of this plot, coupled with the wonderful performance of actor Wang Zhen, pushes the whole movie to a depth of torturing human nature."

When Xu Wenjiang wrote this, he couldn't help but commented on the wonderful performance of the actor Wang Zhen, and then changed the subject, jokingly said: "Here we have to congratulate the actor Wang, who has once again created a worthy actor for our Chinese film industry." A textbook resentful father figure."

"If the image of the scumbag father also has a ranking, I believe that Brother Ming, who has devoted himself to the best actor, will win the top spot."

As the most influential film critic in Xiangcheng, Xu Wenjiang's reports have always been known for being strict and prudent.There are really not many film critics with such full praise.

But the media and movie fans didn't find it surprising after seeing Xu Wenjiang's movie reviews.Because they had also seen the movie with their own eyes, they were indeed as shocked as Xu Wenjiang.

The climax of the plot, the hearty fighting scenes, the high reputation, the undoubted acting skills of the main actors and the box office appeal, coupled with the various hard-working promotions of the publisher Huaxia Emperor Entertainment, "A Action" was released for the first week , even broke the box office record of 700 million.Even in the second week of its release, the nationwide attendance rate has remained above 98%.The attendance rate during prime time is [-]%.

Seeing such a hot situation, China Emperor Entertainment struck while the iron was hot, and took advantage of the opportunity to allocate 1000 or 600 screens to "A Action" after a certain movie was released. The full support of the publisher was like lighting a fire under dry wood. The box office of "A Action" broke through [-] million in an instant in the second week.

The total box office of 300 million in two weeks broke last year's box office record of 4000 million and [-] million.All of a sudden, the media is boiling again.While congratulating the box office record of "A Action", at the same time began to look forward to whether "A Action" can break through the [-] million mark.

At the same time, various negative film reviews about "Operation A" also began to appear.Many people think that "Operation A" has a bad idea, especially at the end of the film, Li Guorui, who is the leading actor, actually shot and killed Brother Ming out of personal grievances. This is actually not in line with domestic regulations and is not worth advocating.There are also people who think that the large number of drug descriptions in the film will mislead children. Of course, many people have criticized the logical loopholes in the film one by one...

The most important thing is that half a month after the film was released, pirated resources inevitably appeared on the market.

As we all know, China is a big country of piracy, and the profit chain of pirates is so strong that no one dares to touch it easily.Facing all kinds of pirated resources flooding the market, even a powerful China Emperor Entertainment can only hold its nose and admit that it is bad luck. Under the invasion of pirated profits, the box office of "A Action" barely reached 2000 million in the third week after its release. In the fourth week, the box office dropped to 1000 and [-] million.

Four weeks later, the film was withdrawn, and the box office record of "A Action" remained at 9500 million.Ranked No.5 in the box office rankings of Chinese movies.

It was only 500 million to break through the [-] million mark. Not to mention the "A Action" crew and distributor, even the domestic media sighed and lamented at such a small gap.

However, the dramatic thing is that just a few months later, during the Christmas schedule, the war blockbuster "World War II" from Hollywood broke the box office record just set by "Action" with a total box office of 150 million.Almost became the box office champion of the year.

So far, the top five movies in China's movie box office rankings have been dominated by Hollywood blockbusters.

Probably such a dramatic gap is unbearable.With the end of the Christmas period, there are rumors in the circle that the country is planning to rectify the piracy industry during the Lunar New Year period. Although no one knows the extent of the rectification, such good things are always worth looking forward to.

Of course, these are things for later, so I won't mention them for now.

Now it is said that "A Action" was released for a month, and it raked in 9500 million box office, which broke the box office record of last year's Chinese movie, and doubled it by the way.The wonderful interpretations of several leading actors and Director Mai's directing skills have once again been recognized by the industry. The film is not only popular but also popular, which is rare in commercial films.

Such a beautiful achievement is definitely worth celebrating.

As the publisher of "Operation A", Huaxia Emperor Entertainment, which made a lot of money in this battle, was also very happy, and spent 200 million yuan to prepare for the celebration banquet.The news spread to the ears of the media, and the entire Huaxia entertainment circle boiled again.

On September 9, the Huaxia Hotel under the Weishi Group.

In order to hold today's celebration banquet, Wei Zhanjie simply booked the entire hotel, and the celebration banquet was held in the banquet hall on the top floor of the hotel.

The nearly 20-meter-long red carpet stretches from the hotel gate to the intersection. The red carpet is lined with golden ribbons to block the cordon. Fans and reporters holding support posters stand outside the cordon, wearing black suits and headsets. The security personnel of the hotel are standing in the cordon on both sides, and there are police officers further away to help maintain order.

At six o'clock in the evening, the main creators of the "Action" crew and the invited celebrity guests arrived at the hotel one after another.

All of a sudden, the surrounding area of ​​the red carpet, which was not very quiet, immediately became noisy.Countless fans and reporters swarmed up, crowded outside the cordon to take pictures, ask questions and shout slogans. If it weren't for the strict blocking of the hotel security personnel, it is estimated that this group of fans and reporters would have crossed the cordon and rushed directly onto the red carpet.

What makes people talk about it is that Lu Heng, who conquered everyone with the role of "Canine Tooth", was not able to be present with the crew of "Action A". He was detained by Wei Linxuan and stood up in the name of the organizer. At the hotel gate, responsible for welcoming the invited actors and guests.

Liu Jiawei looked at the two handsome guys in front of the hotel, one Lu Heng and the other Wei Linxuan, both of them were wearing the same series of the latest autumn style of Huaxia men's clothing, they looked like two brothers from a distance, couldn't hold back, laughed He joked: "Huaxia Hotel is indeed the most famous five-star hotel in China, even the doorman at the door is so handsome."

"Brother Liu, from your point of view, is Xiao Heng handsome, or am I more handsome?" Wei Linxuan asked with a smile.

Before Liu Jiawei answered, Lu Heng smiled and said, "Of course you are more handsome. You are the boss."

"Why do I feel that you are a little reluctant to say this, am I not your boss, so I am not as handsome as you?"

"No, in my heart you will always be the most handsome in the world." Lu Heng opened his mouth to coax people, and Mai Chengliang looked at Lu Heng's ruddy and smiling face, and said with great relief: "You look very handsome now. Well, it seems to be all right."

"It's been fine for a long time. It's just that the company wanted me to relax more, so I didn't let me take the role." Lu Heng smiled and thanked Mai Chengliang for his concern. He is working with the investor and producer of "A Action" Fang Hanxuan's Wei Zhanjie also walked over with a smile.

Everyone walked into the lobby of the hotel together, and the entire top-floor banquet hall had already been set up.A super-large high-definition poster of "Operation A" was hung on the wall, and a nine-story champagne tower was built on the main stage.The main creators of the crew were invited to the main stage, and under the shining of a silver-white flashlight, they fanned out around the champagne tower to open wine and celebrate.

After opening the champagne, China Emperor Entertainment, as the organizer, made a big move. In front of all the guests and the media, the executive president Wei Zhanjie directly announced that he had wrapped a 200 million red envelope for the crew of "Action A" , Thank you for your hard work during the filming period.

Although the red envelopes given out during the opening ceremony was the intended meaning of the question, but no one expected that Huaxia Emperor Entertainment would be so generous.Now even a certain Xiangcheng Film Company, which is an investor and producer, couldn't sit still anymore. The general manager quickly put down his wine glass and took the microphone, expressing his willingness to hand out 100 million red envelopes to the crew, which was considered to be part of the fun.

Xiangcheng Film Company has always been known to be stingy in the industry. Many artists have been famous for many years, but they can't even afford a house and have to rent an apartment.There are also many people who make a living by receiving security money or selling wine and singing after they die.All of a sudden, he suddenly took out 100 million yuan to give the crew a red envelope, which really caused a lot of blood.

The media and guests at the celebration immediately became excited.They all looked at the main actors of the "A Action" crew with envy and hatred.Taking on a good script, working with a good boss, not only gaining fame and fortune, but also getting extra red envelopes, how could such a lucky thing not fall on them?

"...You are very happy. The movie has such a good reputation at the box office. Not only can you get a red envelope, but everyone is very optimistic about you winning next year's Best Supporting Actor!"

While eating, Zhao Miao put her arms around Lu Heng's neck and said enviously, "I never thought that your crime was not in vain. Is this the saying that if you lose, you will gain?"

Lu Heng smiled slightly, and poured a glass of juice to Zhao Miao: "It's not as exaggerated as you said. The little golden man is not so easy to get. If I can get a nomination, I will be very happy."

He has filmed so many films in his previous life, but he has not been able to win a statuette, not even nominated.

"That's not what you said. With the strength of Huaxia Emperor Entertainment, it's easy to help you publicize the best supporting actor. Besides, your performance is so good, even Liu Actor and Wang Actor say so, don't be humble!"

Zhao Miao didn't accept the fruit juice that Lu Heng handed him, but took a glass of red wine and drank it down, and patted Lu Heng on the shoulder: "So sometimes, you can't do it if you don't believe in fate. I always think that I am lucky , I didn’t expect you to be luckier than me. The first film you debuted was the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and won the Palme d’Or in Cannes, and the second film went all out for Best Supporting Actor. Hey, boy, you Pretty arrogant!"

Lu Heng smiled and was thinking about how to answer Zhao Miao's words.Wei Linxuan came over with a champagne glass.

"What are you talking about so much?"

Zhao Miao glanced at Wei Linxuan and said with a smile, "It's nothing, just chatting. Congratulations to Lu Heng for making such a good movie. The Best Supporting Actor award is coming soon."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. What if someone overhears you and causes misunderstanding?"

Zhao Miao sneered: "There is nothing to be misunderstood. Everyone says that, if anyone misunderstands, either they have ulterior motives, or they don't have eyes. Isn't our family Lu Heng worthy of this little golden man? Depression is all over."

Even Wei Linxuan couldn't answer Zhao Miao's words.He could only smile, and said, "Director Mai Chengliang has something to discuss with Xiao Heng, do you mind if I take him away first?"

Zhao Miao raised her hand at Wei Linxuan, and said nonchalantly, "People in your company, you can do whatever you want."

Wei Linxuan nodded to Zhao Miao with a smile, and grabbed Lu Heng's shoulder to look for Mai Chengliang.

"Sometimes I really don't know if he's just out of his mind or deliberately trying to keep people from stepping down."

Lu Heng turned his head to look at Wei Linxuan, who was smiling and didn't seem to say anything, and replied in a low voice helplessly: "He didn't do it on purpose, he just said it outright."

"That's not the way to be outspoken." Wei Linxuan concluded categorically.

In just two sentences, the two of them had already arrived in front of Director Mai Chengliang.Lu Heng had no choice but to swallow what he wanted to say, and asked with a smile, "Director Mai, are you looking for me?"

"It's Xiaoheng!" Mai Chengliang, who was talking to Wei Zhanjie, nodded with a smile: "Are you interested in making spy movies?"

Lu Heng showed a puzzled expression.

Mai Chengliang explained: "It's a new idea of ​​mine. The script is called "Best Partner". It tells the story of two spies who are ordered to perform a mission. Of course, this movie is different from "Operation A". , this is a Lunar New Year comedy film, it is being filmed now, and it will be released just in time for this year’s Lunar New Year. My personal wish is to use the original crew of "A Action". I think to a certain extent, this is also our In reality, Dog Fang’s wish to become a policeman has come true.”

After Mai Chengliang said this, several people immediately looked at each other and smiled.Everyone is a member of the circle, and they understand that Mai Chengliang's words are a good gimmick for the movie.

The plot of "Operation A" is very good, but unfortunately the ending is too sad. Even after it was released, many viewers are still immersed in the tragedy of the canine teeth and cannot get out.Even Lu Heng himself has been troubled by this emotion for a long time.It can be seen that the charm of the role of dog teeth lies.

Therefore, Director Mai Chengliang wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and make another New Year's film under the banner of the original crew.The benefits of doing this are obvious, first of all is the undoubted box office appeal, and second is that the actor Lu Heng can also take this opportunity to make up for the regret in Quan Ya's heart.

Of course, the latter reason was used by director Mai Chengliang to persuade Wei Linxuan.After all, Director Mai has already signed up with Wei Linxuan regardless of the black history that he did not care about when he started filming. Facing this thug who hides his favorite actor behind him and refuses to use him, Mai Chengliang searched his stomach and felt relieved. More people need to tie the bell.

In order to show his sincerity and persuade Wei Linxuan better, Mai Chengliang did not hesitate to take out two baits of producer and investor, and strongly recommended Wei Zhanjie to be the co-producer of the film himself, and promised that if Wei Linxuan was willing to consider this role, so he sent the script to Wei Linxuan in turn, and asked him to read the script with his own eyes before signing the contract.

Mai Chengliang's retreat up to this point has been regarded as the utmost benevolence.

Even though Wei Linxuan was still worried about not wanting it, he couldn't do such a thing of offending others by refusing it.

That's why he went to find Lu Heng.

As for the original producer, a Xiangcheng film company, although the other party is also an established film company, after all, it has lived in Xiangcheng for a long time and is not as familiar with the mainland market as China Emperor Entertainment.Taking the mainland release of "Action A" as an example, Xiangcheng Film Company obviously felt that it was difficult, so they also wanted to find a strong ally to share risks and responsibilities, and jointly seek a bigger cake.

Therefore, as soon as Mai Chengliang said the words of the lead, the other party readily accepted it.I also hope to cooperate with Huaxia Diyu on other projects in the near future.

But these are another story.

In front of Wei Linxuan and Lu Heng, Mai Chengliang personally talked about the general plot of "Best Partner".

It's really a pure New Year's Eve shootout comedy, with Hollywood's customary style of gags and cuteness.It can be regarded as a drama with two male protagonists, one is mature, wise, suave and charming, and the other is energetic and cute and funny. The actor Liu Jiawei is in charge of the heartthrob, and the role played by Lu Heng is responsible for being handsome and amusing. Both roles are very brilliant.

The remaining male No. [-], Wang Zhen, is still in charge of the professional villain, and actress Liang Yulin, who previously played the guest role of Hong Jie in "A Action", will officially play the heroine.To some extent, it can be regarded as a continuation of the leading edge.

Lu Heng understood that director Mai Chengliang's purpose in making this movie was pure and straightforward, just to please the audience and to make money.

The most important thing is that, without exception, the box office explosion of this film is more reasonable.

In the words of Mai Chengliang: "The previous "A Action" was only 500 million short of the [-] million mark. It is indeed a pity. We strive to make up for all regrets in "Best Partner". Whether it’s inside the movie or outside the movie.”

The words of kindness are too bewitching.It's no wonder that even Wei Linxuan didn't hold back and called him over.

Lu Heng was even more eager to try.He has not filmed a movie for half a year and has not accepted an announcement. He is almost osteoporotic due to his idle time. It is rare to have such a tailor-made role that suits his taste. He is very interested.

So everyone hit it off.

Seeing this, Liu Jiawei, Wang Zhen and others who had been wandering around all the time came over at the same time, and said with a smile: "It seems that we are going to cooperate again."

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, let alone at the celebration party that everyone is looking forward to.The news that director Mai Chengliang intends to lead the original crew of "A Action" to fight the Lunar New Year file soon spread to everyone's ears.

The star guests who participated in the celebration party immediately came over to express their congratulations, and some even asked with a smile if they could play a cameo role in the film or something.

Of course, director Mai Chengliang has to deal with these things.A celebration party ended happily.

Some people are happy and some are disappointed.

Back at home, Zhao Miao was thinking about Lu Heng's much-loved attitude at the celebration party, and couldn't help complaining to her manager, Brother Sun: "They are also artists and work for the company. Wei Linxuan is so nervous about Lu Heng, Star Entertainment really treats me like a cash cow."

Sun Shuliang smiled slightly: "Mr. Wei and Lu Heng are both classmates and friends, so the relationship is naturally closer."

Zhao Miao was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Didn't you always persuade me to transform!"

Sun Shuliang moved slightly.

"Go and tell the company that I don't want to make those stupid movies anymore. Tell them to come up with a project as soon as possible, and tailor a movie for me that can transform. Remember, I want a big investment and a big director. , superstar joining, and a bigger gimmick. At least it must be on par with "Best Partner."

Sun Shuliang's eyes lit up, he couldn't help laughing and said, "My little ancestor, you finally figured it out."

"So what if I don't want to understand?" Zhao Miao smiled wryly and shook her head, "He's two years younger than me, so he's going to win Best Supporting Actor. Am I going to spend my whole life on the same role?"

"Remember to tell the company that I am serious this time. If you dare not take my words seriously, be careful that I will really turn my face!"

"I don't think the company wants to be overwhelmed by China Emperor Entertainment again?"

Sun Shuliang looked at Zhao Miao sitting on the sofa with high spirits, and nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, I will try my best to negotiate with the company."
