Huayu's rise from top star to best actor

Chapter 349: Domestic Entertainment Won’t Be Finished in a Short Time
Xu Yien is very confident about this kind of main theme movie.

Do you remember what Xu Yien played when she debuted?

Anti-Japanese War drama!
In essence, it is not much different from mainstream movies.

It’s just that anti-Japanese war dramas tend to be more exciting, while movies are more serious and realistic.

Movies are not weird or strange.

The situation in "Swallow Twin Eagles" will not occur.

It is absolutely impossible for it to happen, or it cannot happen.

"Wolf Warrior" can be a little more fantasy and play the role of Superman.

But this kind of modern mainstream film that respects history is not acceptable.

In "Sniper", Liu Wenwu spoke the Sichuan-Chongqing dialect, but Xu Yien and Zhang Yimou raised some objections.

It’s better to speak Mandarin.

It would be nice to have some Sichuan dialect interspersed in it.

In fact, Xu Yien can speak some Sichuan dialect.

Because I have played roles that speak Sichuan dialect in anti-Japanese war dramas before.

The language talent is quite good.

I studied for a while at that time.

It’s just that dialects have a smaller audience than Mandarin, and "The Battle at Lake Changjin" was also originally planned to use dialects.

But it was changed in the end.

Because Mandarin can make people across the country empathize.

Director Yimou originally disagreed, but Xu Yien persuaded him with both reason and emotion.

Because if you want box office.

Then don't add debuffs to yourself easily.

Mandarin does not diminish the film's appeal; just sprinkle in some Sichuanese dialect to maintain the original intention.

The original intention was to speak Sichuan dialect because many martyrs of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea were from Sichuan.

Liu Wenwu's speech was changed from basically speaking Sichuanese dialect to interspersed with a small amount of Sichuanese dialect.

This will not only allow audiences across the country to empathize, but also preserve the original characteristics and realistic style.

Especially since the movie has no cast, it can only rely on the reputation of director Zhang Yimou to let Xu Yien carry the show alone.

In this case, we have to consider the box office even more.

Finally, Director Yimou agreed.

Because Xu Yien's words were well-founded and were also for the sake of the movie, and he was not giving random orders.

Zhang Yimou has great respect for such insightful actors.

After communicating with Zhang Yimou, Liu Cheng came to play games.

The two of them started playing in a duo, and it must be said that Liu Cheng was really bad as a newbie.

He didn't know how to control the gun or use his body skills, so Xu Yien chased him out after one blow.

Get out of here, you bastard.

Xu Yien pointed at him and said, "If you're not good at it, practice more. If you can't do it, don't play."

"Hey, boss, can you just teach me?"

"Get lost."

"Suck! Why is this happening, boss?"

"What's wrong with me? If you don't agree, just hold it in. Watch out for your year-end bonus or I'll tell you."

"Hey, that's okay, boss."

Liu Cheng shrugged angrily and returned to his room in dejection.

Xu Yien sighed helplessly.

Oh, I'm not in a good mood playing this game, it's really boring.

In fact, you don’t even need to shave your head to act in the movie "Changjin Lake".

Secretary Liu has the classic middle-parted hairstyle.

But I had to shave my head to film "Sniper".

Anyway, I'll shoot the shots with a buzz cut first, and my hair will grow longer in the next few months.

A truly handsome guy is never afraid of having a buzz cut, this is Xu Yien’s confidence in his appearance.

This kind of drama has to have a rough feel, otherwise it will be the weird second generation of "Shanghai Fortress" and "Thunder Warrior", where the soldiers using hairspray is outrageous and against the will of heaven.

"Sniper" is not as grand as "Changjin Lake".

It's a small-scale film, depicting a sniper battle, and it was shot in such a small space, so the cost was very low.

Without the grand scenes, the box office would definitely not be as good as "The Battle at Lake Changjin".

It can only be supported by the plot arrangement and acting skills.

Xu Yien was not discouraged.

It’s my first movie anyway.

Poor grades?
Haha, the fans all disagree.

Let’s not talk about the sales performance of “Nameless” which reached 600 million fans in ten days, because Yi Mi didn’t even know about it.

Take Deng Lun, another top star, for example, whose film "The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity" will be released on December 12. It also grossed 25 million in ten days.

There is no way fans would let Xu Yien's box office be lower than Deng Lun's.

This is the herd mentality of fans.

Typical face-saving.

If "The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity" had not been taken off the shelves due to Xiao Si's incident, it might have been able to secure a box office of around 10 billion.

The reason why Deng Lun was chosen for "The Journey Home" was because of his popularity and good box office performance, but the filming was canceled just before it started.

The producers simply replaced him with Zhang Yi and Junkai, otherwise Lei Datou and Deng Lun would probably be quite interesting.

After playing games for quite a while, they didn't finish filming until around nine in the evening, and sometimes they had to stay up late to film.

Soon, director Kaige sent a message to Xu Yien, asking her to go to a restaurant for dinner and get to know the other actors.

He didn't insert his son into this play. Compared to being a movie star, Arthur still wants to be a traffic star. He just likes the feeling of being supported by fans.

Arthur looks like an electric eel after retouching, and has the same style of appearance as Deng Wei.

Xu Yien took Liu Cheng to the dinner party, and the assistants were in another box.

Xu Yien walked into the box and met the main actors of "The Battle at Lake Changjin", including Wu Jing, Hu Jun, Duan Yihong, Zhang Hanyu, Li Chen, etc.

Obviously, if you want to use an emoticon to express how Xu Yien feels now.

That must be Zhou Xun's [So many people~]

Xu Yien was not shy and greeted everyone openly, "Hello everyone, I'm Xu Yien, nice to meet you all."

"Yi En, come here, come here, sit down."

Brother Chen Kai waved his hand and placed Xu Yien between Si Zi and Wu Jing.

This is quite cruel for Si Zi.

Because the difference is obvious.

"I finally met Director Chen, and I'm also very happy to meet all the seniors."

Wu Jing pinched Xu Yien's shoulders and felt how strong they were. His arms were really fleshy. He smiled and said, "Hello, Yien."

"Hello, Jing."

Si Zi also greeted politely, "Hello, Teacher Xu."

"Hello, Qianxi."

They have the capital and a good father behind them, but that doesn't mean they are arrogant and rude.

Actually, it was a pretty good first impression. He was quite gentle and modest.

But even though the two are from the same Hunan province, they self-deprecatingly say that Xu Yien is a small-town test-taker and cannot be friends with the prince.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Compared to the prince, Xu Yien would rather make friends with Yu Shi.

At least they are all slowly developed and are more resonant.

He has been thinking recently about when he and Xu Yien can play basketball together.

In fact, Xu Yien just said it casually.

He often asks this on WeChat, which is quite interesting.

After the meal, I also added the WeChat contact information of the other actors at the dinner party.

Xu Yien is preparing to fly to Shanghai again tomorrow to attend the annual GQ ceremony.

This time I came to the crew to transfer in first, since Xu Yien doesn’t have any scenes for the next two days anyway.

The participants of this GQ ceremony are all popular stars, and they can also get to know each other.

Appropriate communication is still possible.

There are quite a lot of beauties.

Besides, none of Xu Yien’s boyfriends were going.

There is nothing to hinder it, otherwise if several girlfriends are present, it will be easy to cause trouble.

It's very difficult.

Back at the hotel, Xu Yien logged in and played Peace Elite with Cheng Xiao.

Oda actually loves to play too, but she is busy filming now, so she doesn’t play much because she has no free time.

She used to often complain to Xu Yien.

I wish all the children would go to school obediently and not be matched again.

Because the kid is not only bad at playing, but also likes to use grenades to blow up his teammates, which is really annoying.

"I see that your new drama has finished filming. Where are you now?" Cheng Xiao asked.

Xu Yien picked up an AK47 and said, "I'm on the set of The Battle at Changjin Lake, but I'm leaving for Shanghai tomorrow. How's filming going on with your new drama?"

"Ah, it's okay, but it shouldn't be finished until March. I joined the crew on November 11th. If the GQ event is held sooner, we can still meet."

"You can tell me where you're filming, and I can come see you after the event."

"Really? I don't believe it. Aren't you very busy?"

"It's not very busy. We should be able to finish filming the scenes at Changjin Lake in just over a week, which leaves us with more than half a month of rest. I can come find you and then go back home early to spend some time with my parents, as I can't go back for the New Year."

"Okay, I'm in Suzhou, but since you said so, please don't stand me up."

Cheng Xiao said coquettishly, "But I hope you're here to visit the set. Can you come to visit the crew seriously? If not, forget it. But I still hope you can. I think you will agree to it."

"Okay, because I still miss you a lot." Xu Yien replied softly, his tone gentle.

Cheng Xiao was surprised: "Wow, you're going to play it straight today. This doesn't sound like something you would say."

"It's just the truth, honey, Muah, Muah, I love you."

"Hehe, I'm quite happy to hear you say that..."

Hearing the footsteps, Xu Yien said, "Don't be happy. You don't know if it's one person or a group. Be careful and find cover, otherwise you might get ambushed and killed in one round."

Cheng Xiao smiled and asked, "Did you bring headphones? You look so professional."

"You definitely need headphones when playing games, and they can't be wireless because there's latency. I always use wired headphones. Hey, I feel like playing games on an Apple phone isn't as fun as playing games on an Android phone."

"Haha, you definitely bought the small screen. Next time, don't buy the Pro, buy the Pro Max!"

Cheng Xiao laughed out loud.

"I really hope a mobile phone manufacturer will ask me to be their spokesperson soon, so I can make some extra money."

"Hmm, that's not bad."

"By the way, Xiaoxiao, do you think there is anything I need to improve?"

When Xu Yien asked this, Cheng Xiao thought he had experienced some bad emo comments.

In fact, I was just chatting to find a topic. I can't be idle while playing games, so I had to chat about it.

"You're very good, very good. There's nothing you can improve. If there's anything you can improve, it's that you can spend more time with me."

"I feel a little embarrassed when you praise me like that."

"That's just the truth."

Hearing her respond to him with what he had just said, he couldn't help laughing.

Xu Yien smiled and said, "You'd better speak from the heart and don't be too polite with me. After all, we know each other well and understand the depth of our relationship."

Cheng Xiao laughed out loud and said sweetly, "What? I advise you not to be so naughty and say dirty things, okay? Even if you want to say something, you have to say it while doing it with me~"

"Wow, you're even more lecherous than me. Your true intentions are now exposed."

"It's normal for me to be a little lustful. I fell in love with you just because of your looks. Pah, it was love at first sight."

Xu Yien teased: "So you are this kind of person, I really misjudged you."

While chatting, the two of them won a few games of Chicken Dinner. The main reason was that they were at the same level. This was a good gaming experience. Playing with teammates in the wild would be a complete disaster.

A disaster-level experience just makes people want to die.

I want their entire family tree to disappear.

I really wish I could follow through on my words, otherwise my teammates in the game would basically be careless and lose their mothers.

……

……

In fact, there are many young people who are fooled by Korean entertainment press releases and feel that the domestic entertainment industry is doomed every day. It can only be said that they are too stupid and too young.

Of course, good things should be learned.

But there is no need to brag.

Apart from English-language films, it is difficult to export the ideologies of other countries around the world.

Even so, the despised waste of domestic entertainment "Life" still occupies three of the top ten in the global foreign language film box office list in the North American market, and two of the top three.

"Huo Yuanjia" is a movie with pure ideological output, and it is still a big seller in North America.

When it comes to movie exports, even the crappy domestic entertainment industry wins.

Korean entertainment doesn’t have movies of this level, and they can’t make money domestically, let alone overseas.

There will definitely be people who say that the domestic entertainment industry is relying on its past successes. What’s wrong with relying on its past successes?

The country has a vast territory and rich resources, and its culture has a long history. You can eat whenever you want. Let's wait and see when the Korean films, which have been developed with the whole country's efforts to falsify history, can catch up with the useless domestic entertainment films.

I can only say that it is really shameful that a fool who has been fooled is still giving orders about the world every day.

Not to mention that "The Wandering Earth" has an overseas box office of over 1000 million US dollars, "All or Nothing" also has an overseas box office of 800 million US dollars.

If all this is counted, it is still incredible that only a few Korean films a year do not make a loss.

The only Korean movie that made money last year was "Criminal Justice 3". I can only say that we Koreans are awesome!
"Criminal Justice 2" is the Korean film of the year, with a total global box office of 1 million US dollars, 9890 million of which came from Korea and only 110 million came from overseas. Don't brag about this, it's very embarrassing.

I can only say that domestic entertainment is not over yet.

On the contrary, it is booming.

It is also expanding its overseas markets.

Nowadays, many Chinese entertainment stars are extremely popular in South Korea, but unfortunately their Korean fans don’t think so.

Why does the Chinese entertainment industry have so many fans in Korea? I really can't understand.

Seo Yi-en is also quite popular in Korea.

But Xu Yien doesn’t care much about it because it can’t be converted into cash.

No, it’s probably because the cash flow is too low.

The money earned from holding a meeting there is not as much as that from Xu Yien's business appearance, so it is really unnecessary.
