Chapter 632: Bad Luck for the Enemy!
The next morning, Zhong Chuhong and Yin Jun went to watch "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which she has always been obsessed with.
Although it was in the morning, the attendance rate of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was still about 30%, which definitely ranked first among the movies that were screened at the same time.
"Raiders of the Lost Ark" has been released for 4 weeks, but it is still reluctant to go offline. There are still 12 movie theaters showing it, and it is ready to be released for 6 weeks.
The box office of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" has exceeded 35 million in the four weeks since its release. Not only has it broken through the 20 million limit, it has also directly raised the box office to over 30 million. This is the main reason why it can still be released for another two weeks.
People in the film industry in Hong Kong lamented. According to this trend, after 6 weeks of release, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is likely to break through the box office record of 40 million. I really don't know when Hong Kong movies will break this record. !
Even "Killer's Trenches", which will be released in October, because of the cold weather in North America some time ago, people in the film industry are generally not optimistic that it can reach the height of "Raiders of the Lost Ark". If it can break through the 20 million limit, it is already a A big hit.
In fact, at this stage, the movies released by the three major theaters in Hong Kong are not bad in quality.
Whether it is Zhang Aijia's "Crash into the Front", Hung Jinbao's "People Beat Others", or Du Qifeng's "Blind Man", they are all excellent works, and they have broken the box office of 10 million.
But no comparison does no harm.
Compared with "Raiders of the Lost Ark" that swept the world, the three films are far apart in terms of layout, cast, actors, production, etc.
This is not only a gap in the film itself, but also a gap in the concepts of making films in the two places.
The final box office of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in the United States was 252 million U.S. dollars. The global box office has already broken through to 580 million U.S. dollars. There is no problem at all when it finally reaches 600 million U.S. dollars.
Among them, there are also cultural reasons.
The United States is now the most powerful country in the world, and Europeans and Americans rule the world and are the richest, so in addition to their own support, other countries also went to watch movies with admiration. Of course, the box office high.
The spread of Huaguo culture is already very difficult now, that is, within Asia.
In another 20 or 30 years, the European and American cultures in Southeast Asia will be swallowed up. This has to be said to be the sorrow of my great China.
Yin Jun is the last person to see this kind of thing happen, so he must let Huaguo culture maintain its influence in the traditional field——Asia, at least at least.
The best thing is to consolidate the position of Xiangjiang Films in Asia within 10 years. After 20 years, at least form a certain influence in South America, Africa and Europe. After 30 years, let them also accept the influence brought by Xiangjiang Films. Chinese values.
However, the current Xiangjiang movie has become impetuous in advance.
It is really not an easy task to suppress the eagerness of all filmmakers with one's own strength!
Zhong Chuhong, who had spent all her savings on the trip, only had a two-day rest before actively going to Jiashi to report.
Her TV drama contract was signed with Jiashi, because of Yin Jun, Liang Shuyi and Liu Tian gave her a very good contract, otherwise she would not be able to follow Xu Anhua to the United States to make a movie.
In a hurry, Liu Tianci also couldn't find any good TV series for her, so he could only let her play a main supporting role in an upcoming 20-episode TV series.
Zhong Chuhong, who has been tempered by the movie, stole the limelight from the heroine as soon as she came on stage, but Shi Shaoming, who was in charge of the production, knew about her relationship with Yin Jun, so he discussed with the crew and directly replaced Zhong Chuhong with The heroine was appointed, and the original heroine took the role of supporting actress. This was so angry that the heroine who had been training for three to five years and finally had a chance to get a top position cried when she returned home.
Although Zhong Chuhong already has a lot of experience in filming TV dramas, she is not so relaxed.
In addition to urgently getting familiar with the script so that she can get into the role as soon as possible, Zhong Chuhong also got Xu Anhua's notebook and began to work hard to figure out the characters in it, so as not to get caught blind during filming.
Just as busy as her is Zhou Runfa.
The popular Fried Chicken, who had been on hiatus for two months, was pulled to shoot a TV series as early as July, and the two TV series started shooting together. Among them, "Rogue Tycoon" is one owned by Jiashi. Zhang Wangpai, Yin Jun's screenwriting work, is going to be launched in September.
In addition to TV dramas, Jiashi has already accepted several commercials for Zhou Runfa, which were also filmed during this time.
Having a son, Zhou Runfa, despite facing such a tiring situation, is full of energy, and his acting skills have exploded, which has repeatedly amazed the producers and actors.
Even Xiao Sheng was lamenting that the small screen of this TV series could no longer accommodate Zhou Runfa, a big fish. His future must be on the big screen.
Compared with Zhou Runfa and Zhong Chuhong, Guan Zhilin, who plays the heroine in the crew of "The Winner Is King 2", has a much easier life.
The first part of "The Winner Is King" received very good reviews. It was a step closer to "The King of Thousand Kings" back then, and became a real masterpiece of gambling movies, which also made a group of actors at that time famous and profitable Double income.
So some time ago, McDonald Bear asked Yin Jun to write the second plot for him, and used it to continue to recreate the glory.
Guan Zhilin's acting skills are undoubtedly very average. Even though she has practiced many roles before, Guan Zhilin's mind has never been on filming, so she just acts with her true colors.
What the audience likes is not her acting skills, but her unparalleled beauty. Therefore, every time an actor like Guan Zhilin with poor acting skills is still liked by the audience, this really makes many people who are serious about acting very depressed.
This time is the same. The heroine Zhang Shiru played by Guan Zhilin was originally a relatively restrained girl full of sincere and delicate feelings. Unexpectedly, Guan Zhilin played her as a silly, white and sweet girl who didn't match the role very well.
Rao is the producer of "Winner is King 2" is ATV's first gold medal producer McDonald Bear, and I don't feel it is a headache.
He intentionally changed Guan Zhilin's role to Liu Miaolian, the eldest lady whose family was in decline. This is a good match, but the key is that Yin Jun told Huang Xizhao about Guan Zhilin's role in advance, and also called specifically to invite McDonald Bear Take care of Guan Zhilin.
You said, a man as big as Yin Jun has politely begged, and some time ago, McDonald’s hired Yin Jun to write the script of "Winner Is King 2" for him. Maybe he blatantly swept Yin Jun's face?
There is no way, McDonald Bear can only be patient and teach Guan Zhilin how to act, including mental activities, eyes, movements, language...all of them are taught.
Sometimes he felt like he had become a nanny.
But there is no other way, if you want to make this excellent TV series well, then you must let Guan Zhilin, the heroine, shine.
McDonald Bear doesn't know that this "The Winner is King 2" is actually the work of Chen Tingwei and Zeng Yuqian in the previous life.
At that time, Zeng Yuqian's performance in the play was very mediocre. Originally, Zhang Shiru changed from naive to vicious in the middle, but Zeng Yuqian's performance was always inappropriate and did not meet expectations.
However, Zeng Yuqian won unanimous praise from the audience and captured Chen Tingwei with her jade-like beauty against the sky.
Who is more beautiful, Guan Zhilin or Zeng Yuqian? It’s not clear. In terms of fame, Aunt Thirteen is much bigger, but Zeng Yiqian is equally beautiful. Even after 40 years old, she is still so mellow and fragrant. Not bored.
But one thing is that if Zeng Yuqian can act, Guan Zhilin can definitely act, and vice versa.
Because their acting skills are not enough, they all rely on their stunning looks to make up for it.
McDonald Bear wants to teach Guan Zhilin's acting skills well. It can't be said that it doesn't have any effect, but the effect is definitely not very good.
It's not that Guan Zhilin is unwilling to work hard. In order to make money and save more private money for her mother, she is much more serious than before this time, but there is no such thing as acting in her genes, so everyone can only smile wryly.
Fortunately, "The Winner Is King 2" is also dominated by the male protagonist, and even many gambling masters have surpassed the female protagonist. Therefore, although McDonald is very disappointed with her, he did not give up the whole drama. hope.
Under the care of Yin Jun, Guan Zhilin is definitely not a girl who knows how to worry.
Although she worked very hard on the filming scene, after work, she was also very jumpy.
From time to time, Guan Damei will gather a group of friends who are in high school together to have dinner, go shopping and buy clothes.
Like Guan Zhilin, the girl who was studying in their high school was from a good family background.
Quite a few girls didn't choose to go on to college, some were planning to start working in their parents' companies, and some were planning to go on a blind date and get married. ——Girls who get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen are not too many in Xiangjiang at this time.
If you don't go to school, you will naturally have a lot of free time.
The one who ate Italian food with Guan Zhilin today was one of her best friends, Bai Ruixin.
Bai Ruixin's family has a small company. After she graduated, she went to work in the family company. No one supervised her, so she was very relaxed.
While eating, Guan Zhilin was obviously in high spirits, talking about chatting with a group of stars on the set.
Bai Ruixin, who liked to gossip at first, seemed to have something on her mind, and she was not so active in her conversations, and sometimes she was in a daze.
In her situation, Guan Zhilin was aware of it no matter how slow she was.
"What's the matter, you were secretly laughed at by them when you went to work?" Guan Zhilin asked with concern.
"No." Bai Ruixin shook his head, "I've already started to study hard, and they didn't say anything when they saw that I was working hard."
"Then why are you frowning?" Guan Zhilin asked puzzled while eating the salad.
"This...it's nothing." Bai Ruixin continued shaking his head.
"I said Xinxin, do you consider me a friend?" Guan Zhilin got angry, put down her fork and said, "Is there anything you can't tell me? Maybe I can help!"
"I know, but this... this..." Bai Ruixin wanted to be sloppy at first, but under the threat of Guan Zhilin's wide-eyed eyes, she could only say embarrassingly, "Something happened to Zhen's family."
"A-Zhen? Which A-Zhen?" Guan Zhilin didn't react for a while.
"It's Shen Zhenhuan." Bai Ruixin said, "Her family did business with others, but she was cheated, and now she has nothing."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Guan Zhilin laughed subconsciously.
Now it was Bai Ruixin's turn to stare at her.
So Guan Zhilin quickly covered her mouth, and said with a little embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm used to it..."
With a light cough, she picked up the drink and drank it to relieve her embarrassment.
Bai Ruixin didn't pursue it, but just sighed and said, "Ah Zhen and her family are so pitiful. Seeing the high interest rate, they paid off the loan to lend to those scoundrels, but those people suddenly disappeared, and they couldn't be found... just Just like you, mom, but she doesn’t have the help of a good person like your brother Jun, so now the whole family is squeezed into a very small apartment. My classmates and I went to see her yesterday, and we almost couldn’t recognize her. She is haggard It's just out of shape!"
Hearing this, Guan Zhilin thought of herself and her mother, and also recalled Bai Ruixin's words, her heart softened.
"Hey, how did this happen? Those hateful loan sharks are really harmful!" Guan Zhilin scolded a few times, and then said: "But isn't Shen Zhenhuan's uncle a senior official in the Department of Justice? Why didn't he help?"
"Oh, her second uncle was retired early last month due to a major mistake, how can he help her family?" Bai Ruixin said, "I heard that they are going to move to the countryside in the New Territories next. Let's see if it's farming, or doing odd jobs, and let's solve the living problems... I took my 5,000 pocket money yesterday, and she actually took it all!"
"Accepted?" Guan Zhilin felt a little shocked.
"Yeah, right, it's scary! You know how proud she is, and it's unbelievable that she can accept alms from others." Bai Ruixin said, "But for some reason, I can't help it. Laughing at her, looking at her numb and hopeless face, I always feel sore in my heart."
Guan Zhilin was silent.
She and Shen Zhenhuan had been classmates for six years, and rivals for at least five years. She knew Shen Zhenhuan's character deeply.
This person is desperate for face, for the sake of face, he can ignore everything.
But now she suddenly seemed to be a different person. It had to be said that life... well, it should be said to be survival, the pressure of survival had completely crushed her.
If I didn't have Brother Youjun, I'm afraid I would be the same as her just relying on myself and my mother?
Thinking of this, Guan Zhilin gritted her teeth, and pulled Bai Ruixin up, "Come on, follow me to the house she rented!"
