light and shadow [entertainment circle]

Light and Shadow Films has been established for the tenth year. In this year, Light and Shadow's performance has gone up and down, and turmoil has continued.

The first shot of the new year, "Wulin League" broke the box office record, and the momentum was like a rainbow. Just when the public thought that Light and Shadow would make rapid progress all the way, the movie "Run" starring Kou Jun was brutally defeated by Da Rui in the summer. Blockbuster blockbuster, the final word of mouth is good, but the box office only stopped at 5.2 million.Compared with those box office hits that cost more than one billion yuan in the same period, it can be said to be a bloodbath.

On the Qixi Festival, the movie "Princess" co-starred by Lan Ying and Zeng Yijing met "The Moon in the West Building" played by Yi Xue. In the end, because "The Princess" is a tragic ending, while "The Moon in the West Building" is a sad ending. It ended with a happy reunion, and it had to be the runner-up in the box office of the Qixi Festival.In terms of actual box office data, "Princess" earned nearly 1 million less than "Moon Man West Building".

During the National Day file, Light and Shadow launched the fairy tale-themed special effects blockbuster "Yunchuan Series Five Solitary Peaks" and Darui's star-studded National Day blockbuster "Life and Death War", the box office can climb to 20 billion, and it is also the runner-up.As the box office champion of the National Day file, "Life and Death" was released for 40 days, and the box office raked in 32 billion.Although "Life and Death" has been criticized by the public for flooding the box office since its release, there is no real evidence. These remarks are just idle gossip after all, and cannot shake its position as the overlord of film scheduling during the National Day period.

Seeing that this year is about to pass, the established film company Dari Media has been suppressing Guangying Films all the way, and many entertainment reporters have prepared in advance titles such as "Jiang is still hot", "Darui Media Jiaozuo people" and so on. The draft is in the hard disk, just waiting to be posted on the Internet when the inventory is summarized at the end of the year.

Then, Christmas time came!

As the last schedule in a Gregorian calendar year, the Christmas file has never been a big schedule.According to Chinese people's tradition of celebrating festivals, the New Year's Day and Lunar New Year files that follow are the highlights.Therefore, generally speaking, the Christmas file is always dominated by low-cost, small and fresh urban romance films, such as last year's "Pure White Apartment".But this time, it was very different.

The Republic of China-themed film "Feng Yue" starring Xia Zhi and Yu Cuiwei signed up for the selection of the Golden Branch Awards at the end of the year and the selection of the Golden Peony at the beginning of next year. The film industry decided to advance the schedule of "Feng Yue" from the New Year's Day file to the Christmas file. "Wind Moon" has thus become the first film with a total investment of over [-] million during this year's Christmas season.

After getting the news of "Feng Yue" being promoted, Darui Media immediately announced that the two films "The God of Cooking" and "Falling in Love with the Mysterious Man" that were originally scheduled to be released on New Year's Day will be moved to the Christmas file.

Upon receiving this news, the national entertainment reporters and even the national audience all sat up in shock.It turns out that five years have passed since Tong Le, the former first brother of Dari Media, announced his withdrawal due to his hidden marriage.Currently, the two most popular inside Dari Media are Gu Kaixuan and Li Yannan.Gu Kaixuan was promoted by Jin Zonghui, and he followed the route of high-volume, high-exposure forced marketing.As for Li Yannan, he debuted at the same time as Tong Le, so he can be regarded as Gu Kaixuan's senior.But limited by his overly delicate appearance, he has always followed a small but refined niche route, and the persona he speculates is also an aristocrat who pursues art and freedom.Although it is not as popular as Tong Le's back then, the fan's loyalty is even higher than that of Tong Le's family.After Tong Le quit, Jiang Yuan, the boss of Darui Media, has been behind Li Yannan's back to support him in his position.

The two films produced by Darui Media this time, "God of Cooking" starring Gu Kaixuan and Lin Mengyao is a family-friendly comedy, while "Falling in Love with the Mysterious Man" starring Li Yannan and Yi Xue is a family-friendly comedy. A high-tech police film with passion and love, the two films not only have pleasing themes and huge investment, but the lineup of the two films is even more powerful. "God of Cooking" invited the gold medal green leaf Ding Yin and the popular little fresh meat Bai Jiayan as supporting roles; as for "Falling in Love with the Mysterious Man", Li Yannan and Tong Le have a good personal relationship, and Tong Le was invited to play the second male lead.And Tong Le's role this time is the mentor of the heroine Yi Xue. This mentor is gentle, elegant and knowledgeable, and is simply a cheat for the heroine. ——Obviously, Tong Le chose to play this role in order to seek transformation.As long as the market responds well, he will take advantage of the trend and announce his comeback.

Originally, the two films under Dari Media were fighting against each other, and the entertainment journalists with keen senses realized that this was a battle between Dari and his brother!Now that the two films have been promoted together, and the summer solstice has been raging in recent years, even a blind person can see: this is a battle for the top of the domestic film industry!

Darui Media is so aggressive, of course the most excited is a group of entertainment journalists.Before the film was released, the major public accounts had already written "This Christmas show is on stage", "Darui Media and Guangying Film Industry, this time it's real!", "Xia Zhi VS Li Yannan + Tong Le, the upstart king, Veteran supreme, who can laugh proudly at Christmas?" and other drafts catch people's attention.

At 12:1 on December [-]st, the three films "Feng Yue" starring Li Yannan and Yi Xue, "Falling in Love with the Mysterious Man" starring Tong Le, and "God of Cooking" starring Gu Kaixuan and Lin Mengyao premiered simultaneously.

On the first day of release, "Feng Yue" had 19% of the film schedule, and the first-day box office reported 2000 million; The daily box office reported 20 million.

On the second day, "Feng Yue" received 19.7% of the film schedule, with a reported box office receipt of 3700 million;

On the third day, "Feng Yue" received 22% of the film schedule, with a reported box office receipt of 7000 million;

The fourth day... the fifth day... the first week is over, "Feng Yue" has an average of 20% of the film schedule, and the total box office in the first week is 3.03 million; 25 million; "God of Kitchen" has an average of 6.1% of the film schedule, with a total box office of 24 million in the first week.

Faced with the box office data that doubled "Feng Yue" and was 2 million higher than "Kitchen God", the Darui Media Propaganda Department can't wait to arrange a draft to unilaterally announce: "Falling in Love with the Mysterious Man" is this year's Christmas box office champion !

Next, it's time to witness the miracle!

At 12:8 on December 4, director Zhou Diwen released the 15 minutes and 4 seconds "Feng Yue" clip - special edition.The reason why it is called "special edition" is because the director Zhou Diwen really understands women's hearts and knows what female audiences want to see.Therefore, in the 15 minutes and [-] seconds of the film, only Xia Zhi is the absolute protagonist, and other actors will only be cut into the film if they have scenes with Xia Zhi and get the chance to show their faces.

At the beginning of the film, there is a classic waltz - "The Blue Danube".With the bright and cheerful rhythm, the screen gradually brightened.It was a gorgeous dance party in colorful clothes. Qin Li, who was wearing a gorgeous red dress, held up the long skirt and grabbed a young man's hand and quickly walked across the dance floor, before arriving in front of an old man standing at the top of the stairs.

"Father! Let me introduce you, my boyfriend, Xu Feng!" The bright and charming Qin Li tightly held the man in a normal polyester suit beside her, with a bright and powerful smile.It seems to be declaring: what I fancy is the best in the world, and no one can object to it!

Following Master Xu's gaze, the camera landed on Xu Feng condescendingly.In order to match the social ethos of the period of the Republic of China, the summer solstice under the camera obviously wore makeup. Although his appearance was handsome, he still had a slightly powdery look, which made people know at a glance that his bones had been corroded by ten feet of soft dust. .Fortunately, his expression was gentle and shy, combined with his plain clothes, he finally diluted a little bit of his "unreliable" temperament, making him look gentle and weak.

"It's you?" It was not Master Xu who spoke first, but the business manager who followed him. "Boss Xu, this Xu Feng is a junior clerk in the company, and he just joined the job three months ago."

"Oh! What a coincidence?" After only three months in the job, he met the boss's daughter. Obviously, Master Xu's impression of Xu Feng was even worse. "Take care of Miss." He casually dropped a sentence and walked away, not intending to talk nonsense with Xu Feng at all.

"Father!" Xu Shuang yelled dissatisfied.

Xu Feng secretly pulled Xu Shuang's arm, and shook his head calmly.

A shot ends and the picture goes dark again.

It was Xu Shuang's voice that rang out first again: "Ah Feng, are you alright?" His voice was gentle and delicate, completely different from the aggressive one a second ago, as if a ferocious tiger had suddenly turned into a well-behaved cat.

Xia Zhi, or Xu Feng's voice finally rang for the first time.He said with a good temper: "Wait a little longer."

"Ah Feng!" Xu Shuang yelled again, acting coquettishly.

This time, Xu Feng didn't respond.

So, Xu Shuang yelled again and again: "Ah Feng! Ah Feng! Ah Feng..." The voice seemed to be calling and reminiscing, and Xu Shuang in the dark smiled sweetly to herself again.

"There's really nothing I can do about you..." Xu Feng answered again after being defeated, but the voice was full of pampering and tenderness that every woman can benefit from. "Don't worry if you stand where you are, it will be fine soon."

Xu Feng's figure was not visible in the darkness, but a slender figure walked in step by step outside the dimly lit door.

"Okay! Turn on the lights!"

As Xu Feng's voice sounded, Xu Shuang immediately pressed the light switch, and the whole hall was immediately filled with colorful lights.

The figure who happened to walk in raised her head in shock as if to look at the crystal chandelier lit up in the center of the hall, but the first thing she saw was Xu Feng who was sitting high on the ladder.

The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

The second time he showed his face, Xu Feng's dress was much more decent than the first time.A black suit vest and an ivory white shirt are paired with black trousers. There is no wrinkle on the trousers, and even a single button will not be loosened at will.But his hair was a little messy, which made his abstinent temperament more relaxed.

At the same time, Xu Meng, who showed his face for the first time, was wearing a plain cheongsam, with no makeup on his face, and no jewelry on his body, relying on his good figure to reflect the curves and softness of women.

"Hello!" Xu Feng raised his eyebrows and smiled under the camera for the first time.Against the colorful lights above his head, at that moment, the so-called flashy prodigal son had picturesque features.He quickly slid down the ladder, reached out to Xu Meng, and introduced himself simply and forcefully. "I'm Xu Feng!"

However, the shy and sensitive Xu Meng hesitated to reach out and dare not respond.

"Auntie, why are you here?" The next moment, Xu Shuang, who was originally standing by the wall, came over, hooked Xu Feng and greeted Xu Meng with a smile. "Where is Xuanxuan? Why don't you see her with you?"

As Xu Meng gradually lowered his head, the camera went dark again.

Then, the moonlight lit up, and the "Moonlight Sonata" sounded.

Under the clean moonlight, Xu Meng, who was wearing a western-style evening dress, seemed to be wearing the wrong clothes and coming to the wrong place.She cried and said: "I married my ex-husband when I was 18 years old. At that time, he was almost 60! He didn't marry me at all, he bought me! In order to save Mrs. Xu, my eldest brother gave me 30 yuan Sold to a bad old man! Finally, he died... The elder brother came to ask me for money again! He said that there was something wrong with the Xu family, and that I was the daughter of the Xu family and had the responsibility to save the company! What about me? Where is Xuanxuan? ? What shall we do?!...Afeng, I am only 30 years old...Why? Why am I doomed to be a widow for a person I don't love in this life?"

Xu Feng, who was dressed in a luxurious black suit, stood motionless and looked at her, his eyes were full of tenderness and compassion.

"Am I wrong, Ah Feng?" Xu Meng turned his head and looked straight at Xu Feng, his tear-filled face became more and more charming and pitiful. "Is it fate that all the good things don't belong to me?...Family, love, marriage...you?"

Xu Feng was shocked, and immediately strode forward to hug Xu Meng tightly. "I'm here, I'm here!"

"You lied to me! What is your relationship?!" The next moment, Xu Shuang's angry screams filled the entire screen.I saw her tightly grabbing Xu Feng's collar and pressing him to the edge of the table, like a fierce tiger that would choose to eat someone at any time.But her eyes were filled with tears of helplessness and despair. "Say it! Say it!"

Xu Feng's face turned pale and he looked at Xu Shuang helplessly, as fragile as if a gust of wind could blow him away. "I don't know, Shuangshuang..." After a long time, he responded weakly. "...I don't want to hide it from you again, but I really don't know...I was only 16 years old at that time...I always regarded her as my sister, she begged me to save her, how could I refuse?"

"Disgusting! You are so disgusting!" Xu Shuang slapped Xu Feng twice frantically after getting the answer, screaming hissingly. "Have you ever had sex? Has she touched you? Where has she touched you?" She wanted to tear Xu Feng's shirt hysterically.

"Don't do this! Shuangshuang..." Xu Feng dodged in embarrassment, pleading bitterly. "Don't treat me like this...I love you, I love you, Shuangshuang!" The two struggled and finally embraced each other tightly, crying bitterly.

When "Fate" finally sounded, Xu Feng in a white suit finally walked into the church with Xu Shuang in a white wedding dress on his arm.

The priest on the altar asked loudly: "Xu Feng, are you willing to marry Miss Xu Shuang next to you as your wife, love her, comfort her, respect her, and protect him, just like you love yourself. In the days to come Here, whether she is poor or rich, sick or healthy, always be loyal to her, love each other until you leave this world?"

"I……"

"Ah Feng!" Xu Feng didn't say a word, but Xu Meng, whose hair was messy and in a mess, suddenly appeared at the door of the church, "Don't promise her! The person you love is me!" As he said, Xu Meng suddenly raised his gun!

boom!

The screen is all black!

On the screen, two lines of big characters appeared: On December 12st, "Feng Yue" will hit theaters across the board!

"I'm 16 years old, I'm fine!" — This was the most liked comment on Weibo after netizens posted a still photo of Xia Zhi's first movie "The Birth of the Demon World".

"Film Emperor Xia is boundless!" - This is the hottest discussion post on the anonymous forum.

From December 12th to December 8th, the second week of the release of "Feng Yue", the average number of films scheduled remained at 12%. The box office performance was 14 million per day on weekdays and 23 million per day on weekends. The total box office was smooth Breaking through 1.2 billion, surpassing the box office runner-up "Falling in Love with the Mysterious Man" by nearly 2 million.In the third week of its release, the total box office exceeded 12 billion, while "Falling in Love with the Mysterious Man" was struggling at 3 billion, and there was no possibility of overtaking it.As for "Master Chef"...is there a film for this year's Christmas?

Since then, Xia Zhi and his new movie "Feng Yue" have completed two counterattacks.First, under the unfavorable circumstances that the two films of Dari Media accounted for nearly half of the theater lineup, they achieved a counterattack at the box office and occupied the box office champion; , Li Yannan, the first brother, and Gu Kaixuan joined forces to encircle and suppress, and firmly secured the throne of the first brother in the domestic film industry.It can be said that his status as the new brother in the country is really real gold!

Seeing the results of the fight for the top movie star battle come to light, the official accounts of all parties have finally come to an end.For the platform of Guangying, it is natural to boast: "Extravagant and luxurious, floating life is like a dream, "Feng Yue" presents a picture scroll of the Republic of China." , Carrying the box office alone, what is a first brother? This is the first brother!"

In order to save Darui's platform, those who stand for Dari have to pay attention to the social value system with sincerity, and most of the drafts issued are: "Film practitioners have the obligation to spread correct ideological values!", "Conspiracy, calculation, and money first , What does "Feng Yue" want to tell us?", "Good people don't die well, and bad people have the last laugh. Is such a movie worthwhile?"...and so on.

——"If the work of ideological education requires actors to be fully responsible, what should schools and teachers do?"

Unfortunately, the majority of netizens did not buy it. The above message received more than 10 likes on Weibo, expressing the aspirations of netizens frankly.

However, even so, perhaps because of scruples, perhaps because the cooperation between Guangying Films and theaters is not strong enough, the release period of "Feng Yue" was only 28 days, and the final box office stopped at 25 billion, making it the top box office in December.

On December 12st, Yu Cuiwei, who was dressed up on Xia Zhi's arm, stepped onto the red carpet of the Golden Branch Awards, competing for the title of Best Actor in the 31th Golden Branch Awards. He was shortlisted together with his Good brother Kou Jun.Facing the host outside the field and asked: ""Feng Yue" was released early, is it because of the subject matter that I am worried about teaching the children?", Xia Zhi shook his head with a spring face, and answered bluntly: "The reason why "Feng Yue" was released early , just because to be a film for the Golden Branch Awards, it must be a film that has been released."

This remark was indeed aimed at the Golden Branch Award, so the host had to change the subject: "So this time Xia Zhi and Kou Jun are nominated at the same time, who do you think is more likely to win the award?"

"Brother Jun!" Generally, actors would not give a clear answer to such a question.But the summer solstice is naturally unique. "The theme of "Running" is more pleasing than "Feng Yue", and it is more appetizing to the jury." After speaking, he smiled at the camera decently, and walked into the theater with a relaxed expression.

With this vaccination in place, when the host finally announced that the winner of the 66th Golden Branch Award for Best Actor is Kou Jun, Xia Zhi and his fans were already at peace!Obviously, everyone understands: in the commercial society, being able to carry the box office is the last word and the first brother!As for the awards, they are just embellishments.And Xia Zhi, who was still smiling brightly at the scene, also told everyone invisibly: As the well-deserved No. [-] brother in the new generation of film industry, he won the award, but it will be sooner or later!

The author has something to say:

Director: No. [-] brother in the film industry, how does it feel to beat up your seniors?

Summer Solstice: O(∩_∩)O~

In the third volume, the crowd searched for him thousands of times, and when I suddenly looked back, the man was in a dimly lit place.
