Huayu's rise from top star to best actor

Chapter 783: 12 billion in four days, a huge explosion
It won’t be long before All or Nothing is released, just over a month away.

This movie was re-released very quickly. It was released in 2023 and grossed 38 billion yuan at the box office. It was re-released in 2024 when the film market was sluggish.

This film also earned Zhang Yixing a nomination for Best Actor at the Hundred Flowers Awards. He was the only one present at this year's awards ceremony, and everyone on the forum initially thought he would win, but in the end, it went to Zhu Yilong instead...

Zhang Yixing was scolded for nothing.

But it was a real pounce.

The flop of "Legend" with an investment of 300 to 400 million yuan was even worse than "Negatives Make a Positive".

It's also true that after Zhu Yilong was nominated for the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor, the movie "Negatives Make Right" flopped upon its release.

This is why water awards can cause trouble.

There is no Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor, so "The Mistake by the River" and "Gone Girl" did not become popular.

But he was recommended for the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor, so "Negatives Make Positive" became a hit.

Although it sounds a bit "feudal and superstitious", things like "water awards causing plague" happen quite often.

Xu Yien doesn't need to think so much. It's no exaggeration for "The Journey Home" to win any acting award. The acting is just good, and that's the fact.

No matter how high the box office of "All or Nothing" is, Zhang Yixing cannot affect Xu Yien's position.

"Legend" was a failure, and the rest of the movies he took on were not very good.

It seems like a resource upgrade, but in fact there is no benefit.

The ones who really reaped the benefits were Jin Chen and Wang Chuanjun, especially Wang Chuanjun, whose movie "Silent Killing" had a good box office and its market rating rose again. Guan Gu Shenqi was the best actor in the Love Apartment.

On June 6, the box office of "Gone Girl" officially exceeded 26 billion on the fourth day of its release.

The box office forecast is 42 billion, which is a huge hit.

Fans feel so happy to follow the box office progress every day.

As expected of Yien!
The new movie is a huge hit again.

Based on the current box office of 42 billion, Ian's box office as the lead actor is about to reach 75 billion, and the box office for the leading actor is 87 billion.

With this level of skill, he is a leader of the younger generation and a true film master!

This Dragon Boat Festival, it can be said that "She's Gone" is the top movie.

The market's ratings for Xu Yien, Ni Ni and Janice Man have been raised a bit.

On the Internet, many memes about the movie have begun to go viral, and the discussion of Easter eggs has also been extremely high.

Even on Douban, the reviews aren’t very good.

Isn't it ironic that a man who murdered his wife sheds tears for accidentally murdering his own child?

[You can guess the story after watching 20 minutes. In terms of performance, Ni Ni and Xu Yien are both okay, but Xu Yien's performance is not as good as that in "A Thousand Miles Back", maybe the role fit is not good enough.

The director's misuse of sound and light relentlessly exposes his vulgar aesthetic. It's fine if the film capitalizes on the female-themed theme, but it also plays into LGBTQ+. It's hard not to be suspicious of CSC's focus on women.

If you male directors keep making self-righteous films about girls helping girls, I think you can bury them.

[An anti-marriage and anti-gambling propaganda film more suitable for mainland Chinese babies.]

The biggest flaw in this film: Li Muzi didn't marry her best friend, but married a man instead. Her best friend also agreed when she learned that Li Muzi was going to marry someone else. Shouldn't she have immediately flown back to grab the wedding?

[I laughed when my wife died, but cried when the fetus died. I don’t understand why they arranged for the couple to hold hands and watch the sunset together.

Perhaps as long as one's mind is clear, one can always find romance.

[Chen Sicheng has an advantage, which is his straight male aesthetic. He can make the actresses in the camera look extremely beautiful. Janice Man's image in "Her" is comparable to Zhang Junning's gorgeousness in the TV version of "Detective Chinatown", although Ni Ni is still a little bit short.

The only thing I'm not entirely satisfied with is why, with each filming, the values ​​seem to revert back to those of the TV series "Yanjing Love Story"—poverty breeds evil, wealth fosters conscience. Look at the way "Parasite" was filmed: "It's not that they're rich and kind, but that they're kind because they're rich." Times are tough, so it's best to spare the truly vulnerable some punishment.

[Friendly reminder, don't buy a ticket to see this, I can't believe movies are like this nowadays.]

[I have nothing to say. I despair that a film of this quality could sell well.]

[You're not sad about your wife's death, but you cry when you have a child. What are you promoting? I want to ask you, what are you promoting?]

[In fact, I think the male protagonist collapsed when he saw the B-ultrasound photo not because he saw the existence of the child. The devil who killed his wife without blinking an eye would only collapse when he could easily get everything.

As a result, his life was in danger and he was lost without knowing it, so he collapsed. How could he care about the life or death of his child?

But he regretted that all of this had already belonged to him, but he had spent so much time planning it all and even sacrificed himself.

In the final analysis, he is still a complete scumbag. 】

It's a perfect blend of all my favorite suspense elements, with the only flaw being the final piece of paper. Will the villain regret it? Someone who disregards love and respects women wouldn't relent just because of this.

[The film has a high degree of industrialization and has mobilized enviable industry resources and budgets. It can be seen that the script has been carefully polished and has a relatively powerful reversal.

But the flaws and loopholes are still obvious, and the cleverness and sophistication are only superficial.

The performances are rather exaggerated, with many scenes overacting, which is the price a young director pays for using established actors.

Excessive audiovisual language sometimes fails to fully serve the content and may even interfere with the audience's understanding and thinking of the plot.

I think what's even sadder than watching a bad movie is that most of the "ordinary people" around you think, "Wow, that's a great film, human nature is so dark." Chen Sicheng really needs to check himself out.

"Gone Girl" itself is a commercial film of average quality. Making money at the box office is a victory, and there is no need to pay special attention to word of mouth.

Not to mention that the initial rating is 7.5 points, which is a good enough reputation.

Although it will drop to 6.2 points later as the number of moviegoers and ratings increase.

That's enough, as long as there are actual results. Douban scores are not as important as box office performance.

"There is a Small Shop at the Edge of the Cloud" only has a score of 4.9 on Douban, but it still looks very good on Douyin.

It’s like Chen Sicheng gets scolded every day, but that doesn’t stop most of his movies from being box office hits.

He doesn't care about this. He probably thinks the more scolding he gets, the better.

As long as they can make money, the audience can say whatever they want.

If you don't make money, forget it.

If he doesn't make money and is criticized, Chen Sicheng will not scold the audience, but will put on an ugly Sima face.

Among Chen Sicheng's films, the most highly rated ones are probably "Detective Chinatown 1" and "The Third Squadron".

When the film is released, they will launch a series of combined punches to take advantage of the popularity of "Gone Girl" and maybe get a box office of 12-13 billion.

The only movie that performed poorly was "Priceless".

But as long as the box office exceeds 2 million, no one else can laugh at it.

Whether it fails or not depends on the cost.

It's not just based on box office.

The input-output ratio is important.

In the film market, as long as you make money, it’s not considered a flop.

Flop means losing money, not to mention that the current film market is not doing well. In 2023, there will be only 73 films with a box office of over million yuan per year. The top ones will make a lot of money, the mid-level ones will barely make a little money, and all those below the mid-level will suffer losses.

You know, in 2023, a total of 792 films were produced, and only % of them broke million yuan.

Even among these movies that can break the 100 million mark, no one knows how many of them actually make money, because the cost of a movie is generally not very low.

This is not something Xu Yien needs to worry about.

The box office won’t exceed 100 million?

This can't happen to Xu Yien, it's just a lie.

It is difficult to know how high the upper limit is, but Xu Yien's drama box office is 2000 million per episode, and his movie box office is 2 million.

It is absolutely impossible to go any lower. If you can't even meet such a simple requirement, what's the point of being a first-line actor?
……

……

On the set, "Gone Girl" was a box office hit.

Many directors and producers in the industry have sent me film invitations.

Too bad there aren't enough good quality scripts.

I didn’t come across any good ones, but there were too many bad ones.

Accepting a script also depends on whether you like it. If there are no high-quality scripts or scripts that suit your taste, I will simply not accept it.

There is no need to fill the schedule, as there are four more dramas to be filmed: "New Life", "Nine-part Prosecutor", "Royal Power" and "Going to the Mountains and Seas".

Xu Yien was too busy to handle it all.

In this film and television market, the script is ultimately the most important.

In any case, whether it is a TV series or a movie, the script must be given priority. Otherwise, no matter how good the actors are, if the plot is not good, the audience will most likely not be able to watch it.

TV stations and platforms produce a lot of flops every year simply because of the scripts.

Now the blame is shifted to the traffic. If the traffic doesn’t act, will the drama still fail?
Who can I blame it on then?

This is difficult to evaluate.

Xu Yien doesn't care about these things. His acting skills have always been good and he doesn't have to worry about being eliminated by the market.

The ones who should be considered seriously are Gong Jun and his group of traffic stars who have no acting skills.

Now is the post-traffic era, high traffic is not enough to exchange for better film and television resources, of course...

This does not affect everyone's desire to be traffic, because being traffic can have higher commercial value and make more money.

Although celebrities make a lot of money by promoting products.

But it is also very difficult to bring goods to the top of the pyramid.

With so many actors promoting products, only three or four of them have made a name for themselves. In that case, they might as well focus on their work within the entertainment industry.

For example, Yang Mi failed three times in a row in 2024, and Gong Jun failed for three consecutive years, but he still received many endorsements.

Although the price is not the highest, the quantity is good. Earning tens of millions a year from endorsements is just a drop in the bucket.

Yang Mi also accepted the endorsement of Huawei's car. Although they are just close friends, the money she gave must be sufficient.

Stars with low commercial value do not receive this treatment.

Even Zhang Haowei, a resourceful man recently exposed by paparazzi, earned two million in three months.

This number is a lot for ordinary people.

But compared with the top-tier stars in the entertainment industry pyramid, it is far behind.
