I, the emperor, aspired to the top of the entertainment industry

The trailer of "Old Dreams in Liyuan" is completely different from the magnificent and cool "Gun God of War" in style, from the editing techniques, screen settings to costumes, all reveal elegant and meticulous classical style.

With the classical music of the Republic of China, the flames of war are raging, the antique Wangjiang Tower, the exquisitely carved stage, and a curtain embroidered with pear blossoms hang down gently.

The next second was a close-up of the camera, and the embroidered cloth curtain was lifted by a hand with strong knuckles.

The audience held their breath.

The camera cuts to the distant view instantly, and a red figure on the stage comes from behind the curtain, hesitant to talk.

The barrage increased instantly, and fans and passers-by screamed.

"Ah, this is a boat!! It's a moving boat!"

"Husband's figure is tsk tsk! Although you can't see your real face, it's so beautiful! Costume yyds!"

Immediately afterwards, the camera flashed across the stands on the second floor very quickly. The figure of the man was hidden in the black shadow, and his face could not be seen clearly.

The picture was still, and after the black screen, there was a sharp explosion, the building in the picture was burned red like iron, and the words "Old Dream of Liyuan" gradually emerged.

A large number of drama-style blank shot editing, but it gave the audience greater suspense.

Pei Yan flashed the shot for less than a second, but was caught by fans wearing microscopes, and began to cut out the candy desperately, and even cut the video, slowing it down frame by frame.Although there are few shots, every frame is full of charm, and finally I can see the outline.

"I've watched this scene ten times! What kind of mysterious boss is Dad Fu playing! There are so few scenes!"

"Father Fu don't want to hit me, but this looks good~ The rhythm of the cross-border entertainment circle hits ten! I can't find the kind of meal replacement."

"He's watching a play! Is he watching Zhou Zhou?"

As soon as the trailer was released, it aroused great attention. Zhou fans and CP fans reposted it frantically. With the popularity of "Gun God Wars", it went straight to the top ten of the most anticipated movies list.

But it is still far behind the "Gun God of War", which ranks first and has a wide audience.

After watching the trailer, a group of senior people who claimed to be film critics began to question it.

——There is no specific singing scene, but the male protagonist Xie Mingzhou has just switched from the drama circle to the movie, and the first movie took on such a national quintessence movie that needs cultural precipitation, which is really hard to convince.

"Can this traffic niche really hold such a big opera movie? Is it a male protagonist?? I'm confused."

"This Xie Mingzhou, I've seen his opera! He's very good at acting, I heard he can draw and play flute? But not everyone can sing in opera!"

"If this ruins the Guocui performance, he will have to take the blame!"

"Director Ye Rong is from a family of operas, how dare he choose an inexperienced young man to perform their family's heirloom culture??"

More film critics began to look down on this show, and even ridiculed how strong the crew is, so they dared to release trailers and block together with Smith's masterpiece. They are aiming at Sino-foreign cooperation and a benchmark in the domestic film industry. banner.

In the car, Wen Tao finished scanning the netizens' comments, put away his phone, and turned his head. Xie Mingzhou was sitting in the back seat, focusing on the drama in his hands. The turmoil on the Internet did not arouse his interest at all.

Director Ye contacted them urgently the day before yesterday and invited Xie Mingzhou to the Central Grand Theatre, which is now the largest and most sacred stage in the opera circle, to officially sing a play and warm up for the movie.

The Ye family has been cooperating with the management of the Grand Theater all the year round, and the management also bought their face and specially approved Ye Rong's application.

When Ye Rong applied to the Grand Theater, he had no other choice. On the one hand, he wanted to use Xie Mingzhou's high popularity to warm up the movie, and on the other hand, he believed in Xie Mingzhou's strength.

Being able to sing in the biggest theater is an extremely rare opportunity for everyone in the theater circle!

All the way to the entrance of the theater, all the people who came in and out were familiar faces from the theater circle invited by Ye Rong.

Xie Mingzhou walked into the theater in a solemn black shirt, and immediately saw Ye Rong talking with his friends at the door.

"Mingzhou, you're here." Ye Rong walked over, his voice a little hoarse, and he had lost a lot of weight in promoting the movie these days.

Xie Mingzhou nodded, his eyes swept across the stands, all of them were quite prestigious artists, and he even saw a familiar figure in the guest seat in the first row, his eyes paused.

Ye Rong followed his line of sight and rubbed his forehead helplessly: "My dad is a drama idiot. When I heard that the male lead in my drama came to sing, he wanted to come, no matter what he couldn't persuade him."

Xie Mingzhou and the kind old man in the stands exchanged glances, and the old man smiled kindly at him with an inquisitive look.

Xie Mingzhou nodded politely, and hooked his lips: "Of course it's my honor for Mr. Ye to come and see my show in person."

Ye Rong pursed his lips and looked at him, patted his shoulder earnestly and said, "Ming Zhou, thank you for your hard work this time."

Xie Mingzhou smiled lowly and said, "Director Ye, don't worry."

Looking at the calm young man in front of him, Ye Rong suddenly remembered that on the day Chi Mu stopped acting, Xie Mingzhou told him the same way to reassure him when he was transferred from the military master to the actor's corner in an emergency, and he did not disappoint him.

Now, after discussing with the producer, the crew has decided to broadcast it as scheduled during the New Year's Eve. There are wolves before and tigers behind, so they can only give it a go.

Xie Mingzhou led Wen Tao to the changing room in the arena, and the artists in the stands were discussing him in a low voice.

"I haven't heard of this kid's name in the circle. Is he a newcomer?"

"Newcomers can come to the big theater to sing... I heard that it dragged Ye Rong's relationship, and even acted in Ye Rong's opera movie!"

"There have been few Chinese opera movies in recent years, can this young man be a leader for us?"

"Eh, I don't know!"

Half an hour later, the lights in the stands of the theater dimmed, and the audience became quite quiet, staring curiously at the stage.

The scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone in the stands stared with bated breath, until the sound of expectant gongs and drums sounded, and their eyes were fixed.

It turned out to be the most classic song "The Drunken Concubine", which was once the favorite song of Ye Lao!The more familiar it is, the harder it is to catch people.Everyone subconsciously glanced at Ye Lao, only to see that Ye Lao was looking at the table with great interest, his eyes were very bright.

The next moment, a bright and colorful figure stepped out from Qingshan's ink painting, covered with red clothes and flowers, overlapping with the blue lotus pond Chinese painting behind it, which was extremely beautiful.

That gorgeous red dress, supported by the upright figure, is gorgeous and domineering, like a crabapple blooming in a strange peak.

The people in the audience gasped. It was almost impossible for a newcomer to interpret such a luxurious temperament without sufficient experience and accomplishment.

Ye Rong was sweating at first. In the past, Xie Mingzhou only sang in the crew. Wherever he has been to such a professional theater, and there are seniors who are important in the circle sitting in the front row, everyone will be nervous!

But Xie Mingzhou was still calm as usual.

The bright lights of the Grand Theater hit his face with heat. Xie Mingzhou looked at the faces of the audience who were scrutinizing or admiring one after another, and there was no disturbance in his heart. position, I have long been used to the eyes of others following me.

The bigger the occasion, the bigger the opportunity for him.

The next second, the singing sounded, and the lights gradually became more intense. As the mood of the libretto changed, Xie Mingzhou's voice changed from high-pitched to mournful.

Everyone's scalps were tense, and their high emotions fell into the scene, as if they had returned to the Baihua Pavilion for the banquet, staring obsessively at the elegant people on the stage.

Under the strong light, no one could move their eyes.

Xie Mingzhou performed a total of two different pieces, which tested his physical strength and skills. Until the end of the piece, when the light went out with a "pop", everyone woke up from the artistic conception, and the meaning was still unfinished.

After a moment of silence, all the members stood up and applauded. The warm applause resounded throughout the stands, and even the old artists who were still doubtful in the front row stood up and praised.

"This Mr. Xie is really beautiful! It's really awesome!!"

"It's a blessing for the opera world to bring such a play to the screen!"

"I take back what I just said! We need young people like Ye Rong and Mr. Xie in our circle!!"

After leaving the stage, Xie Mingzhou took a sip of water to moisten his throat in the changing room, wiped off his makeup, took off his glistening red clothes, put on a black shirt and black pants again, and tied his slightly long hair behind his head.

"Brother Xie, Director Ye and the others are waiting for you at the door." Wen Tao's voice came from outside the door.

"Yeah." Xie Mingzhou smiled, his voice was a little hoarse, he finished buttoning his shirt cuff buttons with his fingertips, and walked out of the dressing room.

The people waiting at the door were stunned when they saw the handsome young man dressed in black after taking off his make-up. It was difficult to connect with the beautiful woman in red just now, but he had the same dignified temperament.

Ye Rong helped Ye Lao walk over slowly: "Ming Zhou." Xie Mingzhou turned around and saw the oldest senior in the legendary drama circle at close range, and greeted the two of them with a polite smile: "Director Ye, Mr. Ye .”

Ye Lao looked at him for a moment, then reached out and held his hand heavily in the next second, trembling slightly.

Everyone, including Ye Rong, was stunned. This is the most famous old man in the theater circle. At this time, he took the initiative to shake the young man's hand, as if a certain kind of affirmation. They all took out their mobile phones to take pictures of the commemorative scene.

Ye Lao looked at him, with a smile in his eyes: "This young man is really not easy, he can sing for so long without being out of breath! I am struggling to sing this song."

As he said that, he turned around and joked with a group of old seniors: "Our opera circle will have to rely on these young people to support us in the future."

The people behind also laughed: "Yes, Xiao Rong and Mr. Xie's drama must be supported! Originally, there are few people who pay attention to our circle. I hope this film will attract more people to listen to the drama!"

"National quintessence must be supported to the end!"

After seeing off the guests in the stands and Mr. Ye, Ye Rong just received a call from the producer and called several crew members to sit in the backstage to discuss the situation of the film.The joy of the theater just faded away, and the atmosphere was a little dignified.

"A number of theaters have evaluated that "Gun God of War" is gaining momentum, and the film schedule will account for at least 75%, and the remaining 25% will be for our competition." Ye Rong rubbed his brows, and was still smiling just now The face sank, and 20% of all the remaining movies were divided up, and the distribution to everyone was estimated to be in single digits.

Xie Mingzhou sensed something was wrong, and asked keenly: "The theaters have such a unified caliber?"

"Well, "Gun God of War" has grabbed the headlines recently, and Smith, a big box office hitter, is in charge, making sure that he won't lose money, and the theaters are not stupid." The assistant director said angrily.

Xie Mingzhou frowned slightly. Fu Chengu had talked to him about the boss behind the Wang family before. That foreign capital penetrated into every corner of the domestic film and television industry through the Wang family. Smith was able to enter the country so smoothly because of the boss. Resources help, and theater resources are not a problem.

Ye Rong thought about it and said, "First post the video of Mingzhou's performance today and see the response."

It counts as much heat as it can bring.

"it is good."

Everyone nodded, the schedule has been set, and they can only face the difficulties.

……

"Director Smith, the theaters have just received news that as long as our pre-sale box office is good, they are willing to schedule additional films." Smith's assistant hung up the phone and said with a calm smile, "The batch of movies that will be released at the same time, as soon as we hear that we will Hitting the schedule, most of them are discouraged, and there are only a few... the fringe opera movies are still being released."

Smith played with the purple clay pot he just bought from the antique market, looked at it for a moment, and said calmly: "It's almost as expected. We don't need to polish the script at all, just one or two special effects and fighting scenes are enough. Seize the market."

They didn't even try to market it deliberately. With the joint venture shooting, the gimmick of the world-class action blockbuster completely opened up the market, and then cooperated with a group of directors in China who respected him to promote it, and it set off a wave of enthusiasm without any effort.

"This film industry is more interesting than I imagined." Smith raised his eyebrows.It is estimated that they will be swallowed up by their movies in the end, become their cash cow, and kneel and lick them.

The assistant looked at the PAD, and the name "Gun God War" ranked first on the most anticipated movie lists, and also smiled.

The entire entertainment circle did not cause any disturbances, and was once swamped by various interviews of "Gun God Wars".

until night.

Xie Mingzhou's studio, the Grand Theater, and the crew of "Old Dreams in Liyuan" officially released the video.

@谢明舟工作室: Thanks to the Grand Theater for the invitation, the performance went very smoothly.

【Video.mov】

As soon as the video came out, Zhou fans were the first to be stunned. They followed Xie Mingzhou all the way. They have seen Xie Mingzhou painting Chinese paintings, acting, and dancing swords, but they have never seen Xie Mingzhou in a red costume like this!

But traditional arts all have something in common. Traditional Chinese painting and opera both emphasize the beauty of artistic conception.The background with a lot of blank space in the opera, combined with Xie Mingzhou's own fierce aura, the visual impact is full, making everyone's scalps tense.

——Completely different from the straightforward wildness of western action movies, it is gentle and gentle, but has a strong stamina.

And in "Old Dreams of Liyuan", Xie Mingzhou has countless times like this.Everyone began to look forward to the moment when the movie was actually released.

"Shocked my mother for 100 years, Zhou Zhou is actually singing in the biggest theater!"

"Husband, what surprises do you have that I don't know [funny]"

"Walking Chinese painting materials!!!"

"I'm fucking a man, I'm bewitched! Husband movie here I come!"

It was less than 5 minutes after the video was released, and before everyone recovered, another anecdote happened.

—— One after another of the highly prestigious old artists in the circle spontaneously promoted "Old Dreams in Liyuan" jointly.

The V blog, which they hadn't touched in a hundred years, all cheated the corpse in an instant, and sent the video directly to the hot search.
