Superstars start as villains

Chapter 156 Three years is too long.

Although there are not many scenes in Thailand, the progress is relatively slow. One is that the environment is relatively difficult, and the other is that many scenes are shot in real life, including those made of drugs. These need to be negotiated with the local armed forces.

After the filming in Thailand was completed, Zhou Xing retired. Part of the crew returned to Xiangjiang, and part of the crew went to Singapore to shoot the last part of the scene.

It was already mid-December when Zhou Xing returned to the capital, which coincided with the release of "The Golden Armor in the City".

The cast of this movie should not be too scary. In Fa Ge's first movie after returning from Hollywood, Gong Li plays the lead actress, and Jay Chou is "electrically shocked" for the first time. These gimmicks add up to enough media coverage for several weeks.

Zhang Wei is not good at judging others. In terms of publicity, he is definitely a good hand. From the start of filming to the release of this film, the topic has never stopped.

On the first day of the premiere, the box office reached 1500 million, breaking the all-time mainland movie screening record.

The new picture even shouted the slogan of breaking 4 million at the box office, declaring that it will completely "sink" the Titanic and overthrow the mountains that have been weighing on domestic films for so many years.

Of course, this statement is obviously hype. Not to mention, it has been eight years since Titanic was released. If inflation is included, the 06 million in 4 may not be as good as the 98 ​​million in 3.6. Even if it is If it surpasses it, it is only the mainland box office. Can the global box office compare?
But the point of hype is not to let you accept his point of view, but to let you know that there is such a movie being released, and that's enough, and there will always be people who can't help being curious to buy tickets to see it.

This has resulted in a situation where tickets are hard to find in many first-tier cities, and many theaters have adjusted their film schedules accordingly. Who can make money?

So I watched the box office of "Curse of the City with Golden Armor" soar all the way, reaching an astonishing 9600 million in the first week.

For this situation, Xiao Gangpao expressed that he was very uncomfortable. "Night Banquet" only reached 1.3 million at the box office after a lot of hard work. In the end, he was pushed to the ground and rubbed against him after only a week of release.

What makes Xiaogangpao even more depressed is that Zhang Weiping is always touching porcelain in front of the media, implying that he will never be able to reach the height of Lao Mouzi in his life, and he is so angry that he almost vomits blood, but there is nothing he can do. At this time, talking can only help Zhang Weiping came to Touch Porcelain because of the fact that they were doing publicity. This cultural businessman never let go of any opportunity to make money.

"Let's go and see!"

Compared with the box office hit of "Curse of the City with Golden Armor", the evaluation of this film is very bad, with a score of 5.7 on Douban.

At the same time, many viewers said that after watching this film, they didn’t remember anything, they only remembered the white flowers. Be taller.

Some parents also said that it is embarrassing to watch this show with their children, especially some adolescent children.

Zhang Weiping's response to this is: This is respect for history, the Tang Dynasty was an era when fat was considered beautiful and low-cut was considered beautiful.

Lao Mouzi was very frank. He said after the interview with the media that the low cut is the result of compromise with the market.

In addition to the three vulgarities, more negative reviews are still concentrated on the plot. [Full City with Golden Armor] Although the background is the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the plot is set in "Thunderstorm".

This year's so-called domestic blockbusters seem to be related to these classic dramas. [Night Banquet] used "Hamlet", and [City with Golden Armor] backhanded a "Thunderstorm".

In fact, it can be seen from here that the production company has a guilty conscience, because the investment is too large, they know very well that ordinary scripts cannot support such a big scene, and at the same time, if the box office fails, they can still shift the responsibility to the audience. You see, our scripts are all adapted from classic dramas. If the audience can't understand them, it's because the audience's taste is not refined enough.

【All in the City with Golden Armor】Since the box office in the first week was 9600 million, the box office in the second week has dropped sharply, and the box office in a single week is only 5400 million.

Viewers are no longer as easy to fool as they used to be. Even if Zhang Weiping jumps up and down again, with more and more bad reviews on the Internet, many viewers choose to watch pirated versions online. In fact, most viewers watch pirated versions directly. I couldn't watch it anymore in minutes, and I couldn't help but secretly glad that I didn't spend money on tickets.

In the end, [City Full of Golden Armor] had a final box office of 2.9 million, not to mention breaking the record of "Titanic".

Of course, for Zhang Weiping, he doesn't care whether he breaks the box office record of "Titanic" in the mainland. His goal is to make money. The 2.9 million is just the box office in the mainland. Overseas distribution is enough for him to earn a lot of money.

These years Zhang Weiping has really made a lot of money. New Picture was originally just a small company in the form of a studio. It can have such a large influence in the Chinese film circle because of the big tree of Lao Mouzi.

On the other hand, the first film [Love Call Transfer] after the establishment of "Zhixing Film and Television" has also started shooting.

The male number one finally found Xu Zheng, who had worked with him before. Without him, it would be cheap. At the same time, his accomplishments in drama are unmatched by many actors.

As for the guest actresses, Sister Hua has also put a lot of thought into it. Fan Bingbing, Yi Nengjing, Qin Hailu, Song Jia, and Huang Shengyi can be said to be as beautiful as a cloud.

Of course, Tong Lia is also added. In fact, Tong Lia has been in a state of confusion since she joined the group. She thought this movie was a low-budget literary film, but when she arrived, she found out that from the director to the actor, she is not a big star. She is a veteran actor, she seems to be a rookie.

In fact, Fan Bingbing and the others were also very curious about how Tong Lia got this role. They were all introduced by Sister Hua, so it was clear that this little girl was definitely not introduced by Sister Hua.

What's more mysterious is that the staff of the crew couldn't tell how Tong Lia joined the crew. Even the assistant casting director swore that Tong Lia had never tried a play, because every time he did a play audition, he was with director Zhang Jianya. Yes, not once.

It wasn't until Zhou Xing came to visit the class that everyone saw the clue.

Fan Bingbing gritted his teeth secretly. The reason why she agreed to come as a guest star was on the surface to sell the face of the flower sister, but in fact it was to build a good relationship with Zhou Xing. After all, his status is different now. From an actor to the owner of a film and television company. But there are several floors away. Besides, what if "Zhixing Film and Television" is really done?
Apart from these, Zhou Xing is definitely the ideal boyfriend in the minds of many female stars. He has not been rumored with anyone for so many years. He is handsome, worth a lot of money, and at the same time he is not bothering. Very few.

"Hey, what are you talking about? So happy?" Fan Bingbing walked over with a smile.

Tong Lia quickly stood up: "Sister Bing Bing."

Zhou Xing was secretly upset, he finally found a chance to have a private chat with Tong Lia, and the rest of the crew tactfully avoided it, why did this one come closer?

"Oh, Miss Fan, thank you very much this time." But after all, he came to help out as a cameo, so Zhou Xing had no choice but to express his gratitude patiently.

Fan Bingbing glanced at Tong Lia with a chuckle, and then stretched out his hand: "Mr. Zhou is too polite, oh, by the way, the filming of Director Ye's new play [Fuse] is about to start. I heard that you are the lead male lead. It’s time for you to take care of me.”

Zhou Xing did not shake hands with her, but smiled very politely: "I don't seem to have any rivalry with you. Aren't you and Gu Zai acting as a couple, but you can learn from him."

Fan Bingbing withdrew his hand in embarrassment, said a few more polite words, and left, feeling a little jealous in his heart. In terms of looks, figure, and fame, which one is she not better than this little girl?Zhou Xing didn't even shake hands with her.

Although Tong Lia is a rookie, she is not stupid. After the filming of "New Love", when she returned to the academy, she did a lot of hard work on the knowledge of the entertainment industry, and naturally "see through" Zhou Xing's identity.

As for what Zhou Xing was up to, she was not sure at first, but until this time when Zhou Xing entered the group, the concern he showed was far beyond the scope of ordinary friends. She is not blind, so how could she not see it.

"Sorry, I got you involved." Zhou Xing smiled wryly and shrugged.

Tong Lia suddenly turned around and walked a few steps, looking back with a smile: "Old Zhou, do you want to chase me?"

Zhou Xing nodded almost subconsciously, but was inexplicably nervous.

However, when he recovered, Tong Lia had already run away, and there seemed to be a burst of laughter like silver bells in the distance.

A few days later, Zhou Xing caught Tong Liya who was about to run away when he saw him approaching: "You haven't answered what happened yesterday."

"What answer? I don't understand, let go." Tong Lia's pretty face flushed, and she tilted her head to one side.

Zhou Xing took a deep breath and gave up: "I like you, I want you to be my girlfriend, please give me a sweet word."

"Then, what if I don't agree?" Tong Lia glanced around guiltily, and stomped her feet secretly. Did this straight steel man confess so loudly?What else do you want to say?Is this the tone of confession?
"Then I'll keep chasing you until you agree! If you don't agree for a day, I'll chase you for a day. If you don't agree for a year, I'll chase you for a year."

"What if you don't agree for ten or twenty years?" Tong Lia was inexplicably moved.

"Then chase after ten, 20, 30 years, and chase for a lifetime." Zhou Xing's tone was firm, but his eyes were a little blurred, as if he was imagining what they would be like in 20 or 30 years.

When Zhou Xing came back to his senses again, he found that Tong Lia ran away again, which made him a little frustrated.

At this moment, I saw her wearing a blue and white down jacket, turning her body around as clumsily as a penguin, and then, with her hands behind her back, she stood in the distance and looked at herself with a smile like a flower.

"Stupid, 20 or 30 years is too long, I'm already an old lady."
