After the vase cannon fodder is reborn

After the crew of "Embroidered Life" completed all the framing and filming in city A, the movie starring Gu Xihuai was officially released.Probably because of the good publicity during the screening period, and the strong appeal of directors Gu Xihuai and Chen Xusheng, the box office on the day of the film's premiere was very satisfactory - it directly broke through the 5000 million mark.

This figure may seem quite satisfactory for a high-cost commercial blockbuster, but it is a very big surprise for a niche film in the suspense criminal investigation category.After all, the total shooting cost of this movie is only about 6000 million. Adding up the costs of post-production, publicity and distribution, etc., the total cost is only 5000 million.On the day of the premiere, the box office can exceed 5000 million yuan, which means that the production cost of this film has been recovered by one-third. If the box office trend is stable in the next few days, the show will soon be able to recover the cost.

However, what made everyone more surprised but felt reasonable was that the movie was released nationwide at 1 o'clock on Thursday night.On the third day of release, that is, the first weekend after the film was released, the box office exceeded 2000 million yuan that day, and then broke through 9000 million on the second Sunday, and even the third working day, Monday None have been greatly affected, and the box office is still maintained at around [-] million yuan.

This ferocious box office surge shocked the entire industry. No one thought that a suspenseful movie with a niche theme could collect nearly [-] million box office in the first week of its release, and completed a reverse decline in the second week of its release. Once again It raked in a box office of [-] million yuan—that is to say, the movie starring Gu Xihuai actually won a box office of nearly [-] million yuan in two weeks, which is beyond the reach of many commercial blockbusters.

However, as the number of moviegoers gradually increased, some film critics criticized the logic of the plot gradually spread on the market, and the movie score also dropped from 9.8 points at the initial score to 9.0 points, almost falling below [-] points.

However, this regret is really not worth mentioning in front of the box office of nearly [-] million yuan. Director Chen Xusheng, who has always paid attention to word of mouth, did not even make any remarks during the interview with reporters. Director Chen Xusheng and the entire production team and the main creative staff were already happy to start the celebration banquet.

And in the third week of the movie's release—to be precise, on Friday night, the episode of "360 Lines" that Wen Zhuoyu and Gu Xihuai participated in was broadcast as scheduled.

The misty and picturesque town in the south of the Yangtze River, the exquisite embroidery comparable to a masterpiece of art, and the simple and faith-filled persistence and innovation of the folk embroidery masters all make this episode not only well-founded in terms of content, but also in terms of emotion. In terms of tension and appeal, it is even more touching. While watching the program, countless viewers not only understand the historical inheritance of Su embroidery, but also feel how generations of embroidery masters stick to their hearts in the process of changing times. Finely crafted.

This kind of perseverance and security in living in poverty and living in the big era, hard work and hard work has also made many audiences who are accustomed to the hustle and bustle of society, impetuous minds, and eloquent words feel the charm of faith and inheritance.

It turns out that a good variety show can make people full of strength.

The movie starring Gu Xihuai is currently being screened. During this time, it has been the focus of the entertainment media. Wen Zhuoyu's own experience is comparable to that of the hero in a novel.The every move of these two people has always been a gossip hotspot that all netizens on the Internet pay close attention to.And these two people participated in the filming of "360 Lines" at the same time when they were attracting attention. Of course, the original intention of the two people participating in the variety show was to promote the movie, but "360 Lines" itself has excellent production and straightforward copywriting. And the camera language made more audiences and movie fans attracted by Wen Zhuoyu and Gu Xihuai fall in love with this variety show.

As a result, the feedback effect of mutual benefit and mutual benefit has been formed.Audiences who like to watch variety shows dragged their families into the cinema with their families. Fans and movie fans who liked Wen Zhuoyu and Gu Xihuai also watched the broadcast time of the show and turned on the TV, and clicked on an issue of "360 Lines" on the Internet , directly caused the ratings of the variety show "360 Lines" to soar to 3%, and became the champion of variety shows at the same time.

And the box office of the movie starring Gu Xihuai also raked in 8000 million in the fourth week, and when it was finally removed from the shelves, the total box office undoubtedly exceeded the 10 billion mark—reaching a height of 11 billion. .

This figure made Gu Xihuai, who was already very popular, once again feel what it means to be so popular. At the same time, the success of the film further made Gu Xihuai the most powerful candidate for this year's Golden Crow Award for Best Actor.

But to everyone's surprise, with the successful conclusion of "360 Lines" and the movie starring Gu Xihuai, Wen Zhuoyu, who had an outstanding performance in variety shows and also contributed a very real performance in the movie, also Once again, it became the object of attention of netizens on the whole network.Even the movie "Embroidered Life" has become one of the most anticipated movies in the minds of the audience.

Everyone wants to see Wen Zhuoyu as the leading role, what is the movie about Su embroidery story, and want to know whether Wen Zhuoyu can give a more exciting performance in the movie.

【—Even if the acting is not good, I still want to watch it.I really like to watch the scene in "360 Lines", where Gu Xihuai sits by the window and earnestly embroiders in front of the embroidery frame.The sunlight pierced through the window and hit his face. His eyelashes were so long that I was stunned. 】

[Suck and suck.My saliva is about to flow down, Wen Zhuoyu is so handsome! 】

[I used to think men embroidering was awkward, but after seeing Wen Zhuoyu, I changed my mind.Men should learn to embroider, it looks so gentle and clean. 】

[In fact, there were many embroidery works in ancient times, and everyone was male.For example, many of the embroiderers who embroidered dragon robes for the emperor were men...]

I thought I was just making a wishful film with a small budget and a small production. From the moment I refused the investor to change the script and stuffed the actors, director Cen Wangnian never thought that this movie could make money. Looking at the hot reviews on the Internet, he was shocked shocked.

To be honest, he has made movies for more than 20 years, mostly when he was unknown, and he has never had such a sense of presence before!

"Thank you for all this, Zhuoyu..."

At the finale banquet of "Embroidered Life", Wen Zhuoyu looked helplessly at the director Cen who was holding the wine bottle and weeping bitterly while talking, and comforted him: "Director Cen, you still Drink less!"

"No! I have to drink today's meal!" Cen Wangnian insisted on his own opinion, holding the empty wine bottle and took another two sips, crying: "If it weren't for you, I might not be able to make this movie in my life .I owe my father, I owe him, I made this movie to apologize to him... Zhuoyu, you helped me fulfill this wish. I must respect you."

Wen Zhuoyu looked at Director Cen, who was already drunk, and Teacher Songbai next to him smiled and said, "This is a knot in Director Cen's heart, and you helped him untie it. This glass of wine, Director Cen, should be I respect you."

Cen Wangnian let go of the wine bottle and hugged Wen Zhuoyu's shoulders, yin and yang said frustratedly: "Benefactor! You are my benefactor! I want to take you home, I want to take you to meet my father! He will definitely like you of!"

Wen Zhuoyu: "..."

Wen Zhuoyu smiled helplessly, and had a drink with the drunken Cen Wangnian: "Let's stop here today! The three months of filming have worked hard for everyone. I hope our movie can also be a success. I will give you all Red envelopes."

This sentence is quite convincing when it is said by a billionaire investor and businessman himself.The other actors and crew members at the wrap-up banquet suddenly became excited, stood up one by one, raised their glasses and imagined that the movie would be a big hit, and the best box office would exceed one billion.

One of the old drama actors suddenly said with emotion: "I have been filming for more than 20 years, and the box office of all the movies I participated in did not exceed [-] million. I really dare not dream of this number."

As soon as this sentence was said, the actors who were originally enthusiastic suddenly came to their senses. Someone smiled wryly and echoed: "Isn't that right? I have acted for a lifetime, but I have never entered the mainstream."

Not to mention the box office, many people have participated in so many movies and TV series, and there are very few works that can be successfully released and broadcast.Some people have been filming for seven or eight years, and those dramas and movies have been suppressed for seven or eight years, and there is still no representative work after going around.

This is probably the embarrassment of acting in a literary film or an independent film!

With the inadvertent complaints of a group of old actors, the originally high-spirited atmosphere suddenly calmed down.Seeing the dejected looks of many actors, he frowned unremarkably, and said with a smile: "Actually, filming is a job for us, no matter what happens in the end, at least we are fully and completely Our dedication gave us our best performance. As for whether the movie can be released smoothly, whether it can be a big hit, that is beyond our control."

Everyone was silent.In their eyes, Song Bai, who has already won the Best Supporting Actor, said these words, although they were well-intentioned, they somehow meant that they would not hurt their backs while standing up and talking.However, with Songbai's status and qualifications, other people will not be so ignorant to insult people face to face.Can only keep silent.

Wen Zhuoyu knew in his heart that the reason why these people said these things at the finale banquet was not only because of the feelings of the people who talked about it here, but also because everyone wanted to follow Wen Zhuoyu. It would be even better to be able to participate in the filming of other movies or TV series invested by Wen Zhuoyu——

After all, when Wen Zhuoyu was an investor, he was really generous, and he was able to spend the money in the right place, so that everyone could really feel the joy of shooting commercial blockbusters.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. These people stayed in the crew of "Embroidered Life" for three months, and then asked them to go back and make some precarious independent films, or they don't know if they can be successfully broadcast after the filming is over. They are also unwilling to produce a TV series.

So some people want to sell miserably in front of Wen Zhuoyu, hoping that Wen Zhuoyu can put them in the royal team, or recommend them to other crews to film...

Wen Zhuoyu didn't have this idea at first, but when he noticed the needs of these people, he couldn't help but move.
