Chapter 690 Chapter 202
Li Qian has always been a topic maker in the domestic entertainment industry.
However, in fact, most of the time, those topics are deliberately created by others, and he himself has always kept a low profile. Especially in the past two years, it has become more and more low-key.
If you think about it carefully, in the past two years, whether it was the popularity of "Once upon a Time You", the hit of "Legend of the New White Snake" later, or the extremely controversial "First Experience of Love" last year, even Minghu culture All his albums and TV series are popular, and he will be pulled out by the media to comment, but in fact, his personal popularity in the entertainment industry is generally showing a slow decline.
The reason is very simple, celebrities are to be consumed, as long as you become popular, whether you like it or not, everyone will come over to eat like a cat that smells fishy, but this kind of consumption cannot last forever No matter how popular you are, you always shrink back, not to mention that you have nothing to do, and you even take the initiative to put out the fire that should be yours, and gradually there are no new things for everyone to consume, so I don’t know Unknowingly, when you are mentioned, it will gradually become less and less!
And to be honest, Minghu Culture has developed to the present, and the artists under it alone already have enough stars and enough topics.
Needless to say, Liao Liao, He Runqing, Zhou Mo and others, after Rose Power went solo, Sun Ruoxuan is already a well-known host in China, Xie Bing and Wang Jingxue's solo performances are also absolutely successful, Geri Leng, Zhao Yuan, Zhou Ye, Wang Nanhao , Zhuang Meiyue and others are also famous singers with distinctive styles, and they have become famous in the music and entertainment circles! A group of newcomers selected through "Super Girl" last year, although they have no representative works, their personal popularity is even higher than this group of famous singers, and this year's Spring Festival Gala, through the song "Mountain Road Eighteen Bends", Yang Jinye The popularity after the Spring Festival has even surpassed all the queens of the music scene!
Therefore, whether it is for entertainment reporters, media of all sizes, star chasers, music listeners, or people who eat melons, they already have stars to follow and good songs to listen to. There are also all kinds of gossip that can be read.
Of course, as their bosses, mentors, and behind-the-scenes gold medal promoters, each of them will inevitably be mentioned by Li Qian as they become more and more popular. , but after the "heat subsides", Li Qian's status, prestige, and status in people's minds have been unknowingly raised by a small amount!
Even everyone tacitly and recognized that Li Qian "doesn't need to be so popular anymore"!
To use the word "red" to define him is to underestimate him!
However, at this moment, Li Qian himself must be as low-key as possible, but "My Sassy Girlfriend" is here! And this way, the momentum is strong. In the first week of its release, it scored an astonishing box office of 48.16 million!
It's a trivial matter to be No. 1 in the box office list. The bigger thing is that Li Qian's debut film won the third place in the history of the domestic film's first-week box office list in its first week of release!
This is awesome!
No. 1 in history, from Liu Chengzhang's blockbuster "Swordsman and Monk" in 1997, with 53.83 million in the first week! It is also the first and only film in the history of domestic films to earn more than 50 million box office in the first week of its release!
The second place in history comes from Zhao Meicheng's "Shoubi Nanshan" in 1996, with 48.61 million in the first week!
The above two are all big stars among the big names in domestic film directors, especially the absolute big names at the box office!
But now, Li Qian is only the first movie, which is considered as his debut, and he ranks behind them!
Zheng Yuan is a big name. According to unauthoritative statistics, the total box office of all the movies he starred in seems to be over one billion. He is one of the most stable domestic actors who can sell tickets. Moreover, his works over the years In the movie, there are already two movies with a box office of over 100 million!
But this week, Li Qian's directorial work "My Sassy Girlfriend" completely surpassed Zheng Yuan's "Escape Hero" with a box office of more than 20 million!
Although there must be a reason why "The Escape Hero" is already in its fourth week of release, and the box office is weak, and "My Sassy Girlfriend" has just been released, which is the hottest time at the box office, but it must be I don't admit it, the disparity in the box office is too big!
As for Lu Ping's directorial work "Hello Female Heroine!" ", although last week surpassed "The Escape Hero" and won the top box office list, and this transformational work directed by Lu Ping is also recognized as a relatively successful attempt, but to be honest, whether it is in the media or in the Film critics and audiences, the default Lu Ping in everyone's heart is not a director who can sell well at the box office. Therefore, he was squeezed by two strong films this week and dropped to third place. No one will think there is anything wrong. .
What's more, in two weeks after its release, it earned more than 33 million at the box office. From anyone's point of view, Lu Ping's transformational work has already been successfully implemented and successfully transformed!
Of course, against the background of "My Sassy Girlfriend"'s brilliant first-week box office data, Lu Ping's personal transformation has been successful, and "Hello Woman!" "The bumper harvest at the box office seems a little bit unattractive-if it is normal, this must be worthy of special mention!
And now, it is "My Sassy Girl" that deserves a special mention. It is its amazing first-week box office. It is the laughter and tears that this movie brought to people. The so-called "hidden plot" that hardcore movie lovers are doing analysis with relish!
What deserves a special mention is that this movie is actually Li Qian's debut movie!
What deserves a special mention is that it was already a small hit in the Spring Festival Gala, but now, with the hit of "My Sassy Girlfriend" and the explosion of the box office, it has become the national goddess and national girlfriend overnight. The heroine, He Yingyu... Oh, by the way, someone insisted on calling her Song Mingxi.
So, all of a sudden, Li Qian's various photos that were taken a long time ago suddenly appeared on the headlines of the major entertainment media again!
As a result, all the people and things related to Li Qian, like every time before, were found out again, posted on the side, discussed on the side, anyway, I will brush you again no matter what!
But unfortunately, everyone is still watching it!
Then, with many people and many things, I will inevitably be pulled out and mutter again: The leader is patronizing to make movies, although I also like to watch your movies, but when will you release your next album?
It's been a long time since my big Liao Liao released an album, leader, don't you love my big Liao Liao? You can be playful, or you can go pick up other girls, but remember to write songs for my big Liao Liao!
Where is my Mommy? Where is my Mommy? Where is my Mommy? Where did you hide her? She hasn't shown up for almost a year! Give me back Mommy!
and so on!
Of course, since the day when the box office rankings were released, almost all variety and entertainment programs across the country must mention "My Sassy Girl", which is currently being screened, and almost every one of them will The guests who appear on the show or record the show this week will definitely be asked questions related to this movie.
Do you like it or not? How would you rate this movie? How to evaluate its box office? How is your relationship with Li Qian? Is there any mutual gossip to share?
And so on!
Of course, no matter how popular Li Qian is, he is a director after all!
Of course, many people in the audience entered the movie theater because of Li Qian's name, but they have to admit that whether it's music, movies, or TV dramas, the most popular ones must still be at the front desk That person - in "My Sassy Girl", it must be He Yingyu!
If He Yingyu's face and smile became popular all of a sudden and became the goddess in many people's minds with the help of the Spring Festival Gala, then the release of "My Sassy Girlfriend" will be full of excitement frame by frame. The pictures, the stories, and the frowning and sweet smiles time and time again completely stabilized this image, allowing her to be promoted to an irreplaceable absolute goddess in the hearts of countless people like a rocket!
Before this, because of Li Qian's absence as usual, the "My Sassy Girl" publicity team led by Han Shunzhang seemed a bit lacking in weight, but now, with the release of the box office chart, overnight, "My Sassy Girl" "From the original fan-level popularity, it was directly promoted to the level of national popularity! And the publicity team led by Han Shunzhang, especially He Yingyu, received a standard of treatment, which immediately jumped up more than one level!

CD House, Tianfu Satellite TV, Studio No. 2.
"Tianfu Night Talk" program recording site.
The beautiful host asked: "This movie is very popular, so, can you tell us a little bit about it, you will also be like this in real life...'Sassy Girlfriend'?"
He Yingyu laughed, "Not anymore!"
The people sitting beside her, Han Shunzhang and Zhou Zhiyu, all laughed.
The host immediately understood what was going on, and quickly said, "They all laughed," and then turned to Zhou Zhiyu and Han Shunzhang, "A Niu, and Director Han, she must be a very troublesome person in life, even when you are not filming. Very dishonest girl, huh?"
Zhou Zhiyu remained silent, Han Shunzhang smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
Then the three of them laughed together.
After laughing, He Yingyu was a little helpless, "Actually, I think... am I okay? That's right, maybe I'm a little bit bolder, more heartless, dare to say something like that! It's not barbaric...haha!"
The host pointed at Zhou Zhiyu, "Then when you two are not filming, you two must be better than him?"
He Yingyu thought for a while, turned her head to look at Zhou Zhiyu, nodded, "Well, I'm stronger than him. He's just... easier to bully."
The host looked very surprised, "Then you guys are really similar to the characters in the movie! No wonder you acted so well... Hey, yes, the leader chose you to star in his movie Before, you should be familiar, right? He understands your character very well, that's why..."
"No no!"
As soon as this question came up, the three guests waved their hands and shook their heads together.
This time, Zhou Zhiyu took the lead in a rare way, and said: "I used to be from the Shuntian Drama Club, acting in dramas. At that time, the director was looking for actors. The seniors of our drama club, Mr. Runsheng, Hua Runsheng, were in "" The one who played Xu Xian’s brother-in-law Li Gongfu in The Legend of the New White Snake should be very familiar with the director and have a good relationship with him. He recommended me to the director, and then interviewed and passed the interview. He chose me. Before us, I I'm his fan, but I don't know him well."
The beautiful host was even more surprised, "Oh... don't you know?"
At this time, He Yingyu said again: "I don't know him either! When I was admitted to the Film Academy, he was already a senior. He was my senior brother! When I entered the school, of course there were all kinds of legends about him. He is a big star, but when he was in senior year, he was already very busy, and he rarely stayed in school, and he was also busy with classes when he was in school, and he disappeared after class."
"So, when I was in school for a year, I remember seeing him once or twice from afar."
"Later, it was the day of our school's graduate students' works exhibition. I was in charge of checking the invitation letter or student ID card at the school gate before being allowed to enter the school. I ran into him at the gate."
"He came very early at the time, but he didn't bring his student ID. Then we girls just asked him to bribe him. He promised to give each of us a copy of Zhou Mo's new album, and he also promised two people's autographs. Let him in, and then, out of nowhere, I received a notification saying that I was going to audition, and after that, I became the heroine of this play!"
The beautiful host kept a surprised face all the time - about half of them were really a little surprised, and the other half was acting for the effect of the show. At this time, she couldn't help asking: "So, before, you were filming Before this play, I didn’t even know the leader, so I don’t know anything, right?”
Both of them nodded.
The beautiful host continued to be amazed, "Wow, so that said, the leader is really good at selecting actors! You can see your personalities at a glance! You can be selected to play the leading role...that's amazing!"
This time, the three guests nodded in unison.
This really cannot be faked, and there is no need to brag at all. All the people who participated in the filming of this movie, especially the assistant director like Han Shunzhang who has been busy from beginning to end, and the two leading actors Zhou Zhiyu and He Yingyu, know this very well.
Li Qian was indeed in the vast crowd, saw them at a glance, and then discovered them.
Then, they filmed a scene, which took less than two months.
Then, they are red!
Especially He Yingyu!
Zhou Zhiyu must have become popular as well, but he is far less brilliant than He Yingyu, the "savage girlfriend". Questions, out of ten questions, six or seven were asked to He Yingyu, and Zhou Zhiyu could only get one or two at most, which was at the same level as Han Shunzhang, the soy sauce assistant director.
Of course, among the ten questions, no matter who is asking, at least half of the topics must be related to Li Qian.
For example, just after this question, the beautiful host has continued to ask: "It is said, it is said, ha, it is said that the leader is very strict on the set, Zhiyu, Yingyu, you are all... you are newcomers, that's it Was chosen by the leader, and is still the male and female lead, is there a lot of pressure on his set? Is he as strict as the legends say? Has he ever had any experience of being scolded?"
When the three of them heard the words, they all reacted for a while.
Then, Han Shunzhang smiled and didn't speak, and Zhou Zhiyu also smiled and didn't speak.
Of course, this question should be left to He Yingyu to answer, and her answer is also the most appropriate.
He Yingyu thought for a while, and said: "It's...not strict, right? He was very serious when he was filming, very serious, but he was actually very gentle towards the actors and the staff. If he doesn't do well, he will get angry and be more... that's what you said, strict."
The beautiful host was unwilling to let go of this topic, "Then have any of you been trained on his set?"
He Yingyu smiled embarrassedly and nodded, "Yes! I'll get through it!"
The beauty host's eyes lit up immediately, and she hurriedly asked.
He Yingyu had no choice but to talk about her performance when she first joined the crew, and then briefly explained Li Qian's criticism of herself from the beginning to the end, and the host even made a few jokes in the middle. He added: "During that period of time, I was really afraid of him! But after a while, I slowly realized that as long as I seriously acted, he was actually quite kind."
The host asked: "Then you... are not afraid of him now?"
This question is a little difficult to answer.
But fortunately, before He Yingyu could say anything, Zhou Zhiyu had already answered with a smile, "We dare not answer your question. What if we say we are not afraid and Director Li won't come to us for the next play?"
The host suddenly laughed.
Afterwards, He Yingyu smiled and said: "No way, I'm not afraid of him! Anyway, I have concluded that as long as I act seriously, even if I don't act well at the time, he will not get angry, and will only follow patiently. You tell the play, tell it over and over again, until you understand it, understand it.”
The host gestured, "Then, during the process of filming this film, the leader should have a lot of lectures, right? Because both of you should be regarded as rookie actors."
"right!"
The two answered in unison.
Of course, this was the time to increase the favorability, and there were indeed many such things during the filming process at that time, and the two of them could cite several examples casually.
Then, as usual, Li Qian, who everyone was most interested in, was brushed over. The host finally changed the subject and asked He Yingyu: "Then we know that Yingyu is only a sophomore now, right? Now she is a hit. In school, does anyone envy you? You suddenly became a big star!"
He Yingyu shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know yet. After watching your show, I'll go back to school to experience it, and then I'll tell you!"
There was another burst of laughter at the scene.
Even the very experienced and beautiful host couldn't help but silently give a thumbs up to the popular newcomers in their hearts—they have very high EQs!
…………
After finally finishing the recording of the show, a deputy director of Tianfu Satellite TV, together with the director of the Variety Department, the director of the Buying Department, and three big names, hosted a banquet for the crew of "My Sassy Girl".
Those outside the circle may not notice the subtitles at the beginning and end of the film, but the insiders, especially the purchasing departments of the major TV stations, are currently paying close attention to the filming plans of Minghu Culture.
He Yingyu and Zhou Zhiyu are now instant hits and big stars, needless to say.
Han Shunzhang is one of the first batch of filmmakers to enter Minghu Culture. In recent years, Minghu Culture has produced film and television dramas, from the earliest entrepreneurial work "Legend of the New White Snake", to last year's "Meteor Garden", and then to the current hit Da Zi's movie "My Sassy Girlfriend", Han Shunzhang has always played a very important role in the crew of a series of movies and TV series produced by Minghu Culture!
Adding these three people together, it is definitely worth dispatching such a combination of three big coffees for a banquet.
After the dinner, the TV station arranged for vehicles to be sent back to the big hotel where we stayed. As soon as everyone sat down and rested for a while, Han Shunzhang, an old and cautious man, started calling back to the company, mainly to report today's work to Zou Wenhuai - this is his Leader's responsibility.
Only this time, after finishing the phone call, he came out of his bedroom and saw He Yingyu, Zhou Zhiyu and the others chatting excitedly with a few staff members who were traveling with him this time, so he couldn't help but smile.
The newcomers are suddenly popular, and they are so popular, of course they will be very excited.
Especially He Yingyu, since the box office list came out last week, she has been so excited these days!
At this time, Han Shunzhang walked over and said, "Xiaoyu..."
Everyone stopped and looked at the two of them.
Han Shunzhang sat down opposite He Yingyu and said with a smile, "On the phone call just now, Mr. Zou said that the brokerage department received invitations for several movies at once. Zhiyu has one, you have three, and there is even one, guess what? Whose film is it?"
Everyone looked at Han Shunzhang with some excitement, especially He Yingyu, and couldn't help asking excitedly, "Whose is it?"
Han Shunzhang smiled, and said: "Zheng Yuan's agent called Mr. Zou personally, saying that Zheng Yuan hopes to invite you to be the heroine of his next play!"
The audience was silent.
Zheng Yuan's new play!
heroine!
Although in Zheng Yuan's movie, the heroine must be a vase character, but...that's Zheng Yuan!
One of the most famous movie stars in the country!
And now, He Yingyu, who had just made one movie, unexpectedly received his invitation!
He Yingyu covered her mouth excitedly, and said after a while: "Really?"
Han Shunzhang nodded and replied, "Really."
"You're red!"
He said again: "Mr. Zou asked me to tell you that you should think about it these few days and see if you are willing to pick it up! We will talk about this matter when we meet when we go back, but the main thing must be to see what you want."
nonsense!
That's Zheng Yuan's movie, and it's also the heroine!
Not to mention He Yingyu, a newly popular newcomer, among domestic actresses, except for a few big Tsing Yi and acting stars, who would not want to find a way to get into Zheng Yuan's play?
Not to mention He Yingyu!
But at this moment, He Yingyu blinked her eyes, but said: "Then... let me think about it?"

When I was typing, a reader in the Quanbook group sent me a red envelope. When I got excited, I wrote an extra thousand or two words, so it was even later!
