Chapter 2169 The Success of the Heavenly King (3rd)

In the off-season of April, there are quite a few films from Xiangjiang.

Many are still relatively good movies.

For example, "A Lang's Story" starring Zhang Guorong and Hu Huizhong is a very interesting movie recently.

"A Lang's Story" is the movie that Yin Jun prepared for Zhang Guorong in order to make Zhang Guorong agree to appear in "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Zhang Guorong doesn't like any action movies and costume ghost movies. The genre he likes is more literary.

To be precise, he likes movies that allow him to show off his acting skills.

Zhang Guorong's acting skills are actually not very good, because he doesn't have the kind of sinking in his previous life, and he doesn't have the will and strength to struggle out of the darkness, so his acting skills are basically similar to Liu Dehua's today.

The biggest benefit of his appearance in the movie is that he looks handsome.

As soon as that handsome face appeared, the box office of Japan and South Korea would start at least 30 million U.S. dollars, and Southeast Asian countries could basically contribute 20 million U.S. dollars in the box office!

Zhang Guorong himself knew this, so he didn't like it.

This handsome guy thinks he has great acting skills, but he just hasn't discovered it.

So he insisted on getting Yin Jun to give him a good movie that could fully allow him to express himself.

So what Yin Jun gave was one of Zhou Runfa's masterpieces - "A Lang's Story".

"A Lang's Story" is a drama, but also a tragedy.

A Lang is a rebellious driver and treats his girlfriend very badly. He even beat her when she was pregnant.

Later, he killed a policeman because of a black market racing car, so he could only serve his sentence in prison.

When the wife gave birth to the child, the mother-in-law bribed the doctor to lie that the baby died, and then took the daughter to the United States to leave this sad place.

A Lang, who had been enlightened in prison, found his son after he came out, and raised his son hard, but also happened to meet his ex-wife and returned to Xiangjiang.

The ex-wife wanted to take their son away, but A Lang didn't want to lose his son, and wanted to make up for his previous mistakes, so he went to participate in regular racing, hoping to become a real hero and leave his wife and son behind.

Unexpectedly, due to the relapse of the old disease, he failed the racing this time, and finally died in the sea of ​​fire. Unfortunately, he failed to fulfill his expectations.

This is a complete tragedy, purely a story that makes people cry.

But it not only brought Zhou Runfa the glory of an actor, but also made this feature film a box office of 30 million, ranking fourth in Xiangjiang's box office that year.

When Zhang Guorong saw this story, he subconsciously didn't like it very much.

However, after Yin Jun explained "A Lang's Story" and explained to him the film's artistic expression ability, Zhang Guorong was still convinced.

But he has a request, don't let a shitty director like Wang Jing make this movie, find a director who can improve his acting skills and express his characteristics to the greatest extent.

Yin Jun directly found Du Qifeng for him.

Yes.

In his previous life, he directed Du Qifeng's "A Lang's Story". This life was more than 3 years ahead of schedule, so his skills naturally did not decline.

Du Qifeng is definitely capable of molesting actors, but his stories tend to be dark, and he doesn't pay much attention to decent protagonists.

What he is best at expressing is the role that is between darkness and reality.

But his performance in "A Lang's Story" is not like his usual performance. This story is very sunny and warm.

So a director actually has many facets, it just depends on whether he is willing to discover more of his abilities.

Du Qifeng at this time is certainly not one of Xiangjiang's super directors.

Under the suppression of Wang Jing, Chuck, Hong Jinbao, Lin Zhengying, Huang Baiming and others, he has not been able to make it to the top.

However, Xiangjiang also recognizes that he is very capable, and he is short of an influential big production.

So after receiving Yin Jun's invitation, he read the script and immediately agreed to join in, and also agreed to hone Zhang Guorong's acting skills.

Now Zhang Guorong suffered a lot.

It took Du Qifeng 4 months to make this movie, and the most time was reshooting Zhang Guorong's shots.

The acting skills of the heroine, Miao Qianren, are impeccable. Zhang Guorong, a handsome guy, meets this senior, but he can only be suppressed fiercely, unable to perform at all.

It was obviously rebellious and angry at Miao Qianren, but in the end it turned into being cool, without the ruffian air of a prodigal son at all.

Moreover, whether it is the skill of the lines, the expression of the eyes, or the freedom of movement and behavior, Zhang Guorong can't meet the requirements at all.

Since Du Qifeng agreed to Yin Jun, and Zhang Guorong had already agreed, he was very stubborn and asked Zhang Guorong to continue to remake and continue to act in good movies.

So this became Zhang Guorong's most painful experience since he worked as an artist for eight years.

He was in a daze when he returned home every day. He was an exception for a few months and didn't show up at the bar, nor did he ask out girls. Then some reporters secretly took pictures of him sitting in the tea restaurant alone, trying to improve his acting skills. Go into the play.

Many of Zhang Guorong's fans know the hard work of their idol from various gossip news, and also know Du Qifeng's various oppression and harshness to Zhang Guorong.

This is incredible!

There are seventy to eighty calls to Du Qifeng's studio every day, people who write letters to scold, and even come to the door to scold, finally let Du Qifeng see what is called brain x powder.

But this also strengthened Du Qifeng's determination to train Zhang Guorong.

Such a large fan group, if I don't harvest it well, I'm really sorry for the script Jun Shao gave me and this handsome guy!

Just like that, in January of this year, the shooting was completely over.

Zhang Guorong also seriously participated in the post-production dubbing, reshoots, etc.

Exhausted, he stayed at home with his mother and family throughout the Spring Festival.

It was not until March that the movie started to be promoted that Zhang Guorong reappeared in front of everyone.

Originally, the entertainment reporters felt that Zhang Guorong must be unable to bear the desire to make a fuss.

But they were horrified to find that Zhang Guorong didn't have any nightlife at all except for normal publicity and going to the recording studio to practice songs!

no?

Zhang Guorong and Liang Chaowei, who used to work together to feed hundreds of gossip paparazzi and feed half of Xiangjiang's entertainment gossip magazines, are now tied tightly by Zhang Manyu, and the other is a vegetarian?

How can this work?

The paparazzi were howling.

Fortunately, Zhang Guorong is still that Zhang Guorong.

"A Lang's Story" was released in early April, and 2,000 screens were lined up across Asia to welcome the king of the movie.

The box office directly exceeded 300 million Hong Kong dollars in the first weekend, and the box office reached 700 million in three weeks. It is estimated that by the time it is released, 1 billion Hong Kong dollars will be no problem at all.

In addition, because of the strong storytelling style and tragic color of "A Lang's Story", and because it is Yin Jun's script, the European and American copyrights were sold for a total of 10 million US dollars.

The production cost of the whole movie was only 30 million Hong Kong dollars, and the promotional cost was only 50 million—not even 10 million U.S. dollars.

It is conservatively estimated that "A Lang's Story" will make a net profit of 400 million Hong Kong dollars!

It is already remarkable that a drama film and a tragedy film can get such a high box office.

Du Qifeng invested in "A Lang's Story" in the form of a studio, and finally earned 30 million Hong Kong dollars after sharing it, which is definitely the largest income he has ever earned since he started his career.

This also has to make Du Qifeng very emotional, it is only easier to make money if he takes refuge in Jun Shao, or gets his attention, and reaches the level of joint screenings in Asia!

Zhang Guorong was even happier.

He is not happy because he has more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars in dividends, but because everyone in Asia has praised "A Lang's Story" and his acting skills have been widely recognized for the first time.

As a handsome guy, as the king of music, what does Zhang Guorong lack?

Isn't it just lack of recognition and respect for his acting skills?

This is where he really needs people's affirmation.

He wants everyone to know that he is not only good at singing, but also good at acting. As for being handsome, it doesn't matter at all.

This is the same reason as the beautiful people like others to praise their connotation, and the nouveau riche like others to say that they have taste.

All right.

With such a good result, Zhang Guorong floated away again after a big celebration.

That night, the paparazzi photographed him bringing a beautiful model girl back to the villa, and before they even entered the door, they started hugging and gnawing together.

The next day's newspaper published and news reports came out, which really made people in Xiangjiang and even the whole of Asia feast their eyes.

Yu Zheng also likes Zhang Guorong very much.

Seeing his progress in acting this time, she asked Yin Jun actively, if she would like to help Zhang Guorong manage the best actor of the next Academy Awards?

After Yin Jun thought about it, he agreed with her idea.

Although the Academy Awards cannot be bought, it is normal to influence the judges through various publicity and public relations.

As long as Kirin Films is willing to pay, then Zhang Guorong will have a lot of exposure during the selection process, and many people will cheer for him.

This will greatly increase your chances of winning.

But Yin Jun himself felt that Zhang Guorong might not be easy to win the award this time.

It's not that his acting skills are not good, but that he has such a handsome appearance, many judges will think that his appearance is more important than his acting skills, and now he is a movie king, which is not worthy of his name.

They are not aimed at Zhang Guorong, but at such a type of person.

Generally speaking, handsome people will receive this kind of treatment.

Give a very simple example and everyone will understand.

Little plum!

What happened to Xiao Lizi, who was once magnificent and fascinated thousands of women, at the Oscars can fully explain everything!
