Huayu's rise from top star to best actor

Chapter 777: Box office decline, Magnolia
On June 6, Xu Yien hurried to Shanghai at noon.

Xu Yien came to Shanghai just one day after the filming of "There is a Small Shop at the Edge of the Cloud" started.

Today is the day of the Magnolia Awards Ceremony, so it would be a good idea for Xu Yien, who is nominated for Best Actor, to be there.

Nomination is approval.

Not to mention exposure.

There is no harm in participating more.

I took my employees back to my house in Huangpu Bay, had a simple lunch nearby, and then started today's makeup.

Still with the familiar 3:7 side part, Dior specially customized a black suit for Xu Yien for this Magnolia Awards.

The whole set has a very calm look, nothing fancy.

Accessories include a Tiffany high-end jewelry brooch, a Jaeger-LeCoultre custom watch, and shoes are RV custom square-buckle leather shoes. It can be said that Xu Yien was blessed with the four luxuries when attending the award ceremony this time.

The brand gave the best treatment.

Winning awards is not important, but the spokesperson must attend large-scale and prestigious events with full fanfare.

If Xu Yien holds a concert, the luxury brands she endorses will do their best to support her.

After the styling was completed, Xu Yien got in a business car and went to the riverside to take a set of departure photos.

There are many acquaintances of Bai Yulan this time.

Zhang Songwen and Long Ni from the crew of "The Storm".

Zhu Yilong from the crew of "The Rebel".

Yin Tao from the crew of "The World".

After taking the departure photo by the river, Xu Yien took his employees to the cinema to watch "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse".

The red carpet doesn't start until 6:30 in the evening.

It's only afternoon now, why are you in such a hurry?
Instead of sitting there and daydreaming, why not watch a movie?

"Spider-Man in the Spider-Verse" is very good. Xu Yien feels that it is much better than the first one. Who doesn't like to watch parallel universes?

Even though it’s a tired routine, it’s still fun to watch.

The movie is also very popular online, with various Spider-Man cosplays on Tik Tok.

In this cinema, the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies is quite high.

"Gone Girl" was a particular hit.

The box office is also rising steadily. There is a high probability that the box office will reverse the decline today and is expected to reach 2.2 million.

Chen Sicheng's marketing strategy is very useful. If it continues like this, the box office can be expected to reach 40 billion.

It was this cinema... He Fei was also beheaded.

It wouldn’t be that bad, right, ladies?
It's inappropriate to vent violence.

After watching the movie, it was already past three in the afternoon.

It was still early, but Xu Yien ordered tickets to take his employees to see "I Love You!", contributing to the box office of the same period.

If he has time next month, Xu Yien will go and see "Octagon Cage", which is said to have a very good reputation.

The box office performance of the movie "I Love You" was pretty good, finally exceeding 400 million yuan, and director Han Yan made money again this time.

It’s a pity that “Let’s Shake the Sun Together” will lose money next year.

With a box office of 2.8 million yuan, "Let's Rock the Sun Together" would definitely make money if it were a cold period.

But Han Yan overestimated his ability, not to mention that it was released during the Spring Festival, which was really unlucky to watch this kind of subject matter during the Spring Festival.

The natural outcome is that the sky-high admission fee was paid, huge publicity and promotion costs were spent, but the film was withdrawn in disgrace until March.

The box office revenue in March was actually more than that of the Spring Festival period.

But even so, it is still a huge loss.

If it was released in March at the beginning, even if the box office was only 1.8 million, the production of "Let's Rock the Sun Together" itself would still be profitable.

This kind of movie would cost at most 5000 million yuan. It would make a small profit if it is released in March, but it would suffer huge losses if it is released during the Spring Festival.

Withdrawing the film from the schedule is a wise choice, but instead of withdrawing it, it is better to put it in a cold period with less competitiveness from the beginning.

Although it is likely to fail suddenly during the off-season, it is still more dignified than dying during the Spring Festival, and it does not require too much publicity and promotion costs.

Han Yan's script is good, but it will rely heavily on the casting. If the actors' appearance is not so good, the box office will not be very good.

After watching "I Love You!", Xu Yien was quite moved.

The employees were the same, all of them were a little tearful.

The quality of the movie is very good, it's always rated eight points.

It is a movie with obvious advantages and disadvantages, but the excellent performance of the actors makes up for the shortcomings such as the fragmented plot and stereotyped characters, especially Maggie Cheung, whose acting skills can only be described as horrible.

The old age is quiet, but love brings vitality. No matter what age, the sweet and sour feelings of love can make people happy.

But there is a bit of bitterness in the sweetness of sunset love. Two people who have climbed out of the deep pit are afraid that they can no longer afford to lose again, so "I love you" become three words that cannot be said.

Despite the elements of birth, aging, sickness and death, this film is still a love story, with the romance and healing of love at its core.

Watched two movies.

It's almost time.

Xu Yien took the employees to the venue in the car.

You still have to walk the red carpet.

The Magnolia Awards Ceremony was held at the Mercedes-Benz Center.

If there is a chance next year, Xu Yien will hold a concert here. A venue that is too big would not be suitable, and this venue with a capacity of 18,000 people is just right.

If he found a venue that cost 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, Xu Yien had no confidence that he could fill it.

But 18,000 or 20,000 people?

It's so easy.

After all, he is not a professional traffic singer.

Every profession has its own expertise. Don’t think that the Mage has been criticized on the Internet. In fact, his concerts are very popular and can even be held in the Bird’s Nest. But if the Mage were to act, no one would go to watch. In the field of singing alone, the Mage is indeed a top star.

This is the same reason why Jay Chou's movies are popular at the box office.

What makes you popular? Most fans will only appreciate this part of your work. If you want to study the rest, I'm sorry, I don't agree.

Upon arriving at the venue, Xu Yien went in first and waited. She would be called out when it was her turn to walk the red carpet.

This time, only Xu Yien from the crew of "The Storm" walked the red carpet. Zhang Songwen and Long Ni, who were also present, did not leave, probably to "avoid suspicion" with Xu Yien.

The online war of words is so intense, so don't get too close. Even in the backstage, the organizer arranged a seat for Xu Yien to sit with Zhu Yilong and Wang Yang.

I don't know what's wrong with him.

If you don't walk the red carpet, your Gao family's fanatical fans will scold me later.

What a wonderful flower.

Just avoid suspicion.

It doesn't matter. After all, I have a Best Actor nomination and you have nothing.

Backstage, Xu Yien met Zhao Liying and chatted with her for a while.

"Sister Liying."

"Hello, Yien."

The two shook hands.

Zhao Liying smiled and asked, "Didn't Feng Xing approach you before? Why don't you act?"

Xu Yien replied with a smile: "I've been acting in a lot of idol dramas, so I want to change my style for a while. Isn't Lin Gengxin acting pretty good now? I saw the Reuters news earlier, he's very handsome."

"Hahaha."

Zhao Liying also has a heart-shaped mouth when she smiles, which is quite cute.

"I'm still looking forward to working with you, but I don't know if there will be a chance."

Xu Yien nodded: "Let's see in the future, I think there is a chance."

"Are you confident this time?"

"No."

Xu Yien shook his head.

"You say no so bluntly?" Zhao Liying was surprised.

Xu Yien tutted his words, nodded, and said, "I wonder if there will be any surprises, but I probably know who the Best Actor is."

"who is it?"

"It should be Lei Jiayin."

Zhao Liying said: "Oh, but I think your acting is actually no worse than his."

Xu Yien chuckled and shook his head: "We think it's useless. It's up to the organizers and judges to decide. What about you? Are you confident?"

“I’m quite confident, but also very nervous.”

"Xu Banxia performed very well, and I'm looking forward to you winning the award."

"Then I'll lend you some good advice."

"Hahaha, okay."

Zhao Liying is absolutely radiant today.

But confidence still couldn't win her an award. However, she won the Best Supporting Actress award at the Hundred Flowers Awards next year, and her performance in "Article 20" was still very outstanding.

Gao Ye’s fans are really upset. Our Gao Ye obviously has more roles in "Article 20", so why is she not as good as Zhao Liying?
The reason is very simple. It's just like when Gao Ye's sister-in-law showed her kindness and tortured Li Yitong. This time, the identities were just swapped.

Zhao Liying's few minutes of acting made Gao Ye lose his mind after being beaten by her.

Even if they haven't seen the movie, most people know Zhao Liying's role in the movie.

Being able to go viral with just a few minutes of acting is a skill.

But Gao Ye...no one cares.

Even though she had more roles than Zhao Liying, she didn't get any attention at all. Even in the movie, her performance was very average and left no impression on people.

So when Gao Ye’s fans broke down and started scolding Zhao Liying, no one cared.

This is the loser's defense.

Zhao Liying's fans are too lazy to argue, so just let it go.

No matter what, Zhao Liying still has movies starring her waiting to be released. As long as it doesn't flop too badly and can get a box office of 100 or 200 million yuan, her film career will be smooth sailing.

After all, when I first entered the film industry, I shot films with relatively low budgets, with a cost of tens of millions, and I could make money as long as the box office revenue was three times the cost.

As long as you make money, you will have resources, and everything will naturally go smoothly.

Lei Zi ascended to heaven with just one movie called "Grass and Trees".

I’m afraid that I won’t be able to make money. If I can’t make money, my film career will be forced to be interrupted.

The investment-output ratio of a movie still depends on its quality, unless it is supported by a large company.

Otherwise, for actors who have no film capital backing, making money from movies is the right way.

If you don’t make money, it’s normal to have no resources.

For example, Yang Yang was rejected by the film industry because of the poor box office performance of his movie. He finally starred in "Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow", but it was temporarily withdrawn from the schedule and not allowed to be released, and the material was removed from the entire network.

He didn't even read the script before filming a movie, so he deserves to be buried.

This is the same ending as Li Xian's "If Life Was Like First Sight".

When actors perform, they should carefully consider whether the script is consistent with history, otherwise historical nihilism deserves to be buried.

Not to mention that even if "Reinforcements Arrive Tomorrow" is released, the box office will be dismal.

Movies directed by TV drama directors...are likely to flop.

Achievements in the drama industry cannot be converted into achievements in the film industry.

The fact that Hu Ge and Zhang Ruoyun’s movies failed is enough to explain this.

Zhang Ruoyun's "Joy of Life" had an average revenue of over 21 million per episode during its popular period, and the movie "Safe Evacuation from the st Century" was released shortly afterwards, but it still flopped.

There is a difference between the audiences who watch TV series and those who watch movies.

After all, only a few people have overlapping audiences.
