light and shadow [entertainment circle]

In May, the public was finally temporarily freed from the fear of being dominated by "Wulin League"-"Yunchuan Series Four: Heavenly Sin and Mad Sword" was released across the board.However, to everyone's surprise, the box office results of the fourth film of the Yunchuan series, which was released three years later, were high and low. "Sinister Knife" was released for 28 days, and the final box office revenue was only 17 billion, ending the myth that each film in the Yunchuan series must exceed 20 billion at the box office.

Netizens commented on this:

"Jiangcheng is the biggest failure of "Heavenly Sin Knife"!"

"Seeing the scene of Xuan Taoist becoming a demon, I am almost on the verge of cancer. I am worried every minute, afraid that he will suddenly wipe his face and say: I'm sorry, I'm a policeman!"

"I really like the new actress Lan Ying who plays Leng Yue. I look forward to her coming out of the whole movie."

"The ambiguous relationship between Raging Fire and Crazy Knife and Leng Yue supported me until the end song."

"I don't know why, but suddenly I miss Fu Xuanjun every day..."

Film critic said:

"Heavenly Sin and Mad Sword, Song of the Sunset of the Yunchuan series?" "

"Not every newcomer can carry the box office, not every newcomer's movie is called Qinglong Jue!" "

"The bugs in the script itself, even the best special effects can't make up for it!" "

The entertainment journalists asked this question: "Mr. Tang, does Guangying Films also think that Jiangcheng is mainly responsible for the box office failure of "Heavenly Sin and Mad Knife"?"

"I feel that our media friends have too high expectations for the film and television industry. The total box office of 17 billion is considered a failure. To be honest, the pressure of film and television is very high!"

Seeing Tang Chi answer the reporter in this way during the on-site interview, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but there was still no joyful expression on his face.

"This is your first movie, 17 billion, which is already a very good result." Jiang Cheng's manager, Yan Ming, tried to comfort Jiang Cheng with his words. "Even for Xia Zhi and Kou Jun, the box office of "Blue Dragon Jue" was only 24 billion, and half of them only 12 billion. It's not as good as you."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but laugh. "Brother Yan, according to your calculation... where do you put Cheng Liqing?" Thinking of the scenes of filming with Xia Zhi and Kou Jun in the past few months, he shook his head sadly again. "Kou Jun's performance is too precise, Xia Zhi... Xia Zhi seems to have magic, can take you into the play... I am indeed not as good as them."

His own artist can have such a clear understanding of his own acting skills, Yan Ming suddenly knows that there is no need to mention those sweet words to make people happy. "I will make up for my shortcomings with hard work, and the future will last! What's more, Mr. Tang personally asked me to tell you that the script of Yunchuan Si is indeed not satisfactory. It is your fault that the box office did not exceed 20 billion this time. Please don't take it to heart." Ah Cheng, the company still values ​​you, so don't get discouraged first!"

Yan Ming's two sentences moved Jiang Cheng a little, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at the other party. "Mr. Tang really said that?"

Yan Ming looked at Jiang Cheng and nodded seriously.

Yan Ming knew this matter better than Jiang Cheng.This Yunchuan series script was originally written by Guan Shan and Tang Chi. In the early stage of the script, Fu Xuanjun, the king of the demon world, took up a lot of space. The film will run through the four plots.However, Zhang Jun, the actor of Fu Xuanjun, quit Darui only after Guangying completed the first two films of the Yunchuan series.When Zhang Jun broke up with Guangying, Guan Shan and Tang Chi decided to change the script in a fit of anger, deleting all of Fu Xuanjun's roles in the subsequent two films.However, is it so easy to delete a key character in the script? The script of "Blue Dragon Jue" is weak, but thanks to the acting skills and looks of Xia Zhi and Kou Jun, it can handle it. However, because of Jiang Cheng's performance, "Heavenly Sin and Mad Knife" made the bugs in the script itself more prominent.

What Yan Ming appreciates most about the two bosses, Guan Shan and Tang Chi, is that they never appoint others. "Heavenly Sin and Mad Knife" did not do well at the box office. The first thing they reviewed was the problem with the script, and they never had a word of dissatisfaction with Jiangcheng.Seeing that the media blamed most of the blame for the poor box office on Jiang Cheng's performance, Tang Chi also called Yan Ming specifically to ask him to appease Jiang Cheng.

With such a magnanimous and considerate boss, Jiang Cheng was also very grateful, and sincerely sighed: "Mr. Tang is indeed a good boss!"

Yan Ming patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Work hard!"

While speaking, Jiang Cheng's assistant also opened the door and came in. "Brother Jiang, it's almost your turn!"

"Okay, come on!" Jiang Cheng, who was wearing a costume, got up and looked in the mirror, carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on his cuffs, and hurried to the set.

It's almost July, and the filming of "Wulin League" is coming to an end.Not only the entire group of actors are basically hanging on to Wia, but even the promotion team of Light and Shadow is exhausted.The press release revealed that "Kou Jun's clothing is mostly made of cotton and linen, and Xia Zhi's clothing is mostly made of silk" to "the important prop in the film is the golden mask of the Demon Cult leader, who uses Xia Zhi's face as a template."

When Jiang Cheng rushed to the set, Xia Zhi had just got off the wire.Xu said "I got used to it when I vomited and vomited." Xia Zhi persisted on the Wia for two hours, but when he was put down, his face was only a little pale, and he seemed to be in good spirits.The staff on the set were still helping him untie the steel wire, but Xia Zhi had already staggered forward, putting one hand on Jiang Cheng's shoulder.

"Xia Zhi, are you okay?" Feeling that most of the opponent's weight was on his shoulders, Jiang Cheng couldn't help frowning slightly.

"O...OK..." Before he finished speaking, Xia Zhi slid face-to-face into Jiang Cheng's embrace. In "Wulin League", Xia Zhi has the most fight scenes, and also hangs the most wires.It happened that Xia Zhi had martial arts skills, and Lezheng and Yin Future also had the highest demands on him. Every time he went to Wia for a few hours, it was really miserable.

"Hey? Hey hey!" The staff behind Xia Zhi screamed repeatedly, and hurriedly carried him out of Jiang Cheng's arms.

"I'm fine...I, I'll go by myself!" Xia Zhi struggled to shout, but the staff turned a deaf ear to him and quickly carried him out of the set.

"I swear... this is my last costume film! I swear!" Xia Zhi, who was held in the air, screamed miserably.At that time, he didn't know: when necessary, modern films will also hang Wia.

It seems very not OK!Jiang Cheng silently sighed and watched Xia Zhi leave.Until he could no longer see the figure of the other party, he finally couldn't help pleading to the staff who came to help him tie the steel wire: "Please be gentle with me!"

Xia Zhi, who was sent to the lounge and thrown into the recliner, hadn't had time to catch his breath when his cell phone rang.He stretched out his arms and grabbed the phone from the table with difficulty, but when he saw the three words "Zeng Yijing" on the caller ID, he hung up the call without interest.A second later, the bell rang again.Holding the phone in his hands, Xia Zhi also took only a second to think about it before resolutely turning it off.

This world is quiet!Xia Zhi sighed contentedly, and closed his eyes comfortably.

Two minutes later, Kou Jun came in helplessly holding his mobile phone.I saw him bow his head and say to the phone: "I'm here."

"Xia Zhi! You heartless bastard! How dare you hang up on me! I misunderstood you! Ahhh!" The next second, Zeng Yijing's hysterical curses immediately filled the entire lounge.

"Oh my god..." Xia Zhi sighed with her head in her arms, and broke down and asked. "Are you annoying? Isn't your movie finished?"

The dark humor film "We Don't Familiar" starring Zeng Yijing, because it is a low-cost movie, the shooting cycle is actually not long.Filming started at the end of March, and all filming was completed in mid-June.Seeing that Zeng Yijing received the first movie in which he played the leading role, Xia Zhi was also very happy for him.Unexpectedly, when the filming officially started, the artist-like Zhou Diwen and the son-in-law Zeng Yijing were like sparks hitting the earth, so much so that Zeng Yijing called Xia Zhi twice every three days to curse Zhou Diwen's ancestors for eighteen generations.And Xia Zhi also changed from worrying and persuading at the beginning to numbness and collapse, until now... finally, he couldn't bear it!

"It's not me who is annoying! It's him!" Zeng Yijing on the other end of the phone complained loudly, "I will definitely break up with him this time! If I don't break up this time, I will be a puppy! Mane! Skin! Dog!"

"You have broken up with him 18 times, and the zodiac has gone through one and a half rounds!" Xia Zhi complained angrily.

"Xia Zhi, are you still my brother?!" Zeng Yijing roared angrily.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but rolled his eyes at the phone, and before he could reply, Kou Jun had already turned the phone to himself with a snicker. "Yijing, calm down! What's going on this time?"

Probably because he felt Kou Jun's concern, Zeng Yijing breathed a sigh of relief, and said aggrievedly: "Zhou Diwen asked me to make up a scene. You said, this is in the post-production stage, and it will be released in August. He Are you sick?"

"If the director thinks it's too late, that's OK! You're an actor, so be more professional!" Xia Zhi couldn't help but interject.

"What's OK? I'm not OK, okay? Absolutely not!" Zeng Yijing jumped anxiously, as if he had met an innocent and beautiful girl with a salty pig's hand. "He made me drink urine! It's urine..."

"Pfft ha ha ha..." This time, even Kou Jun couldn't bear it anymore.

"Ahh! How dare you laugh!" If it weren't for the phone line, Zeng Yijing would have jumped up and bit someone.

"Okay, okay..." Kou Jun laughed and coughed, "For no reason, why did Zhou Diwen make you drink urine?"

"...He said he wanted to add a scene in which I went to do things to get rid of bad luck, but the magic stick mistakenly used the boy's urine as talisman water. He even sprinkled half of it on me and made me drink half of it." Zeng Yijing was quiet. It took a while before he revealed the answer reluctantly, "And I didn't know about it the whole time, I really...fuck it!"

I have to say, this bridge section is quite talented.Kou Jun exchanged glances with Xia Zhi, and reminded: "Yi Jing, it's just filming, I won't really make you drink urine."

"You can't even drink beer! This plot is too silly! I don't want to lose face?" Zeng Yijing immediately retorted.

As the protagonist of a dark humor and the object of ridicule, haven't you already been stupid from the beginning to the end of the film?Xia Zhi secretly slandered, and answered angrily: "Then don't shoot!"

"The guy surnamed Zhou still owes me 1 yuan for the film!" Zeng Yijing said bitterly, "He also said that if I don't make the film, he won't give me the money! This grandson, I'm fucking his ancestors for eighteen generations blablabla..."

Kou Jun poked off the hands-free button on the phone screen with lightning speed.

The world temporarily returned to tranquility.

Five minutes later, under the encouragement of Kou Jun's eyes, Xia Zhi carefully turned on the speakerphone again.

"...The movie will be released next month. I'm really worried...Will it be a one-day trip? Half a day? I think your Brother Shan has probably given up on this movie. He actually let Zhou Diwen want to promote it by himself. Words? Zhou Diwen also asked me what I have to say? What do I have to say? What do you think? Hello? Hello! Are you listening?"

"Well! Listen! Propaganda, what do you think?" Kou Jun answered him seriously.

"What can I think? This film is so depressing, who will watch it?" Zeng Yijing, who was completely unaware that the conversation had been forcibly cut off for 5 minutes, sighed heavily.

Kou Jun frowned and thought about it, then suddenly asked: "Do you know when the movie will be released?"

"Release?" Kou Jun didn't ask the release time of the movie but instead asked the release time. Zeng Yijing was obviously a little surprised.But he raised his head and thought for a while before answering. "If it is not kicked off the film schedule by the theaters, it will be released on September 9."

"Then let's just write the promotional words like this... On September 9th, "We Don't Know" will be released in full. Please download the pirated version from major film and television resource websites and watch it yourself, thank you!"

Kou Jun was obviously teasing Zeng Yijing with this kind of propaganda.Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zeng Yijing applauded repeatedly: "This is good! This is good! I like it! Such a sad movie should be accompanied by such sad lines! If this is the case, I also have a...cough cough!" He cleared his throat , said seriously. "If there is something unhappy, tell it to make everyone happy! Hahaha!"

Xia Zhi heard the words, rolled his eyes and said coldly: "Then I think my sentence is better! Listen carefully! I know that Luther will resonate with you, but please don't tell your story, because I'm not interested in knowing it! "

"Good! Good! Good! I like it! I'll call Zhou Diwen right away!" As soon as Zeng Yijing finished speaking, Kou Jun's mobile phone heard the blind voice of "beep beep beep".

Kou Jun and Xia Zhi looked at each other for a long time, and finally couldn't help swallowing. "Put this kind of promotional words out, the movie won't really be a one-day trip, right?"

"...Zhou Diwen shouldn't pay attention to him, right?" Xia Zhi tentatively replied.

"Your brother Shan will also check in?" Kou Jun followed suit.

The two looked at each other in silence for a while, Kou Jun suddenly laughed dryly, and silently backed out.

On August 8, the debut film "We Don't Familiar" directed by Zhou Diwen and starring Zeng Yijing was released on a Wednesday working day, which is neither a national holiday nor a weekend.On the first day of release, the box office revenue was 7 million; on the second day, the box office revenue was 200 million; on the first weekend, it was 500 million; after two weeks of release, it broke 1000 million.As of September 9, the movie was released, with a total box office receipt of 10 million.It has become a common phenomenon for couples to break up after watching movies and leaving the movie theater alone.

Director Zhou Diwen and starring Zeng Yijing became an instant hit!

The author has something to say:

Director: Everything is fate, nothing can be controlled!

Jiang Cheng: ...
