Huayu became famous overnight

Chapter 164: The shortcut to becoming a top actor

August.

Guo Degang's disciples beat up reporters from Beijing and Taiwan.

During the former's performance, the reporter was ridiculed as a prostitute, which drew collective condemnation from the mainstream media and the Deyun Society was forced to suspend performances for rectification.

The crosstalk industry is not peaceful, and the same is true for the film industry.

Zhang Ziyi was caught up in the scandal of Fraud Silk.

The box office of Feng Dapao's "Aftershock" has already broken the box office record of "So Young" and is heading towards 600 million.

Before Xu Ming could even get comfortable with the title of No. 1 domestic film box office, it changed hands.

But at this time he had already returned to the crew of "The Laughing Man".

The entire crew was looking forward to it, and director Xu Zhengchao wanted to hug Xu Ming's thighs and beg him not to leave.

If it is delayed any further, it is uncertain whether the filming of this movie can be completed this year.

"Interview, how does it feel to have the record broken?" Uncle Benshan said happily.

"I feel very complicated, but unfortunately I can't explain it to you."

Xu Ming said in a gloomy tone, "After all, you haven't experienced the feeling of a box office exceeding 500 million, so how can you possibly empathize with me?"

your sister's.

If you don't pretend, you will die.

Uncle Benshan was really powerful and kicked Xu Ming directly.

"Good fellow, are you showing off to your master?"

"Hehe, there aren't many opportunities here, so we have to seize them." Xu Ming said with a smile.

"By the way, has President Han told you about next year's tribute film?" Uncle Benshan asked.

"A tribute film? They didn't find me."

Xu Ming was stunned for a moment and began to feel puzzled.

It stands to reason that considering his current popularity and fame, Uncle Han would never let go of such a big fat sheep that can be plundered.

Even though there is no pay, one would still feel uneasy if someone is missing from this kind of play.

Especially domestic entertainment actors.

Those who are invited may not be famous, but those who are not invited are definitely not famous.

"Don't think too much about it. I guess China Film Group is having trouble finding a role to give you. Your momentum changes every day, so it's hard to gauge." Uncle Benshan comforted.

"It's okay. I don't mind going or not."

Xu Ming smiled and said without exaggeration that by going there, he would bring honor to the movie, but on the contrary, this kind of movie would not bring him much honor.

With so many big names, the roles are divided up and there is no absolute protagonist.

"Okay, just have this mentality. Come back to the media when you have time. Your fellow brothers are all saying they miss you." Uncle Benshan said.

"okay."

Xu Ming nodded.

He is too lazy to expose it. Does that mean he misses him?
That's because of the resources and popularity he has.

After he became their apprentice, no one except Song Xiaobao looked him in the eye.

After shooting for the whole morning, it was time for lunch at noon.

Xiao Shenyang came over. He also played a small role in the crew. He said, "Ming'er, I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Xu Ming was surprised, given the other party's personality, he generally wouldn't ask for help from others.

"I have a brother who is good at writing songs. A few years ago, there was a song called "Listening to Love Songs and Crying". You must have heard it. He wrote it and sang it himself..."

As Xiao Shenyang spoke, Xu Ming's expression turned a little strange.

The person he was talking about was Gao Jin, the one he was almost pulling bald from.

"Oh, what happened to him?"

"He wrote a song for our crew. I think it's pretty good. I was thinking of showing it to you."

Xiao Shenyang smiled awkwardly, "I know you can write songs, but don't you have better places to use your energy? See if you can use it. It doesn't matter if you can't." This is an internal referral.

Xu Ming didn't reject this, besides, he and Gao Jin had a certain cause and effect relationship.

He nodded: "Bring it here later. I'll listen to it with Master and the director, and we'll decide if it's okay."

"Thank you."

Xiao Shenyang's tense body suddenly relaxed.

Mingzi was still willing to give him some face, and he didn't lose face in front of his friends.

"You're welcome."

Xu Ming looked sincere, and he was the one who should say thank you.

He caught a group of people from the other side and ganged up on them.

He needs to reflect on himself. Even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows. He needs to look outward.

Xiao Shenyang went to report the good news to his brothers.

Xu Ming sat leisurely on his own recliner and took the lunch box handed to him by his assistant Xiaojuan.

People passing by would respectfully call out "Brother Ming" from time to time.

Xu Ming smiled back at them one by one.

After getting rid of Zhu Yanping, everyone in the crew knew who was the boss of "The Laughing Man".

Then the box office results of "So Young" were released.

In the crew, even Uncle Benshan may not be as effective in speaking as him.

It's very simple. The former's influence is of little use in the film industry, but Xu Ming is a rising sun and is currently considered a first-tier reserve figure in the domestic film industry.

As long as you get older, it's only a matter of time before you break into the first echelon.

"Hello, Brother Ming."

A Cantonese-sounding greeting was heard.

Xu Ming looked at it and smiled helplessly: "Coach Cheng, I just accepted it when others called me, so don't joke with me."

Cheng Xiaodong is old enough to be his father, but he is afraid that calling him brother will shorten his life.

"Haha, this is not a joke. Like Cheng Long, everyone calls him Big Brother, and Stephen Chow, everyone calls him Master Xing. When will you be like him, occupying seven of the top fifteen annual box office and sweeping the top five? It's not an exaggeration to call you Master Ming." Cheng Xiaodong said with a smile.

He was referring to the Hong Kong film industry in 92, which was dubbed the 'Year of Stephen Chow' by the Hong Kong media.

Nowadays, it is almost impossible to achieve.

Let’s not talk about whether the actors have enough energy to shoot more than seven movies a year. The development of the mainland film industry is far from what the Hong Kong film industry was like back then.

But I have to say that the other party just made a joke.

This really made Xu Ming think about it.

What he lacks now is the dominance that every actor needs to reach the top.

Like Cheng Long, who made his way from the Hong Kong film industry to Hollywood.

For example, Jet Li, whose box office appeal spread throughout Asia, later rose from a supporting role to a leading role in Hollywood.

After "A Better Tomorrow", Chow Yun-fat starred in a series of films including "City of Light", "An Autumn's Tale", "Prison on Fire", "Hard Boiled" and "God of Gamblers", winning the Best Actor Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Horse Awards, which were also successful at the box office.

The three of them were at the top of the Hong Kong film industry at the time.

As for Stephen Chow, he only entered the big screen in 88, and in 92 he became one of the top actors along with Stephen Chow, Chow Yun-fat, and Stephen Chow Sing-song.

The reason for this was the unparalleled feat of taking the top five spots in the annual box office in 92.

I currently have a movie called "Dear" which will most likely be released next year, "The Laughing Man" will also be released next year, and "The Unknown" is in preparation and will be filmed in the second half of the year. That makes three movies in total.

It’s a pity that "Let the Bullets Fly" is scheduled to be released in December this year, otherwise it would have won the box office championship next year.

If he remembered correctly, the box office champion of domestic films in 2011 was Zhang Guoshi's "The Flowers of War", the runner-up was Jet Li's "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", and the third place was "The Founding of a Republic".

It's difficult to take the top five spots in the annual box office.

However, if we miss this window next year, it will be even more difficult for "Lost in Thailand" to break the 1 billion box office mark the year after.
