Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 215 - The preview screening received rave reviews, will it make Bai Ye money again?

Official Weibo account for the movie "How Long Will I Love U".

Before its release, although some stills were occasionally released, it was generally not very popular.

However, just as the movie "How Long Will I Love U" was about to be released, its popularity suddenly skyrocketed.

First, Bai Ye gathered the great Tang Dynasty poets, maximizing his recent exposure.

In reality, it was Lu Zheng who got involved.

After this movie, Jing Tian's subsequent media exposure will plummet.

This is fatal for a celebrity.

After all, if a celebrity doesn't release any new work for six months, they'll be overtaken by others.

Once your niche is taken by another star.

That's the end of it.

But what else can we do?!
Jing Tian had already decided to do this, and besides, Lu Zheng also felt that Jing Tian's acting skills were really, really bad.

The acting was okay when she was filming with Bai Ye, but when Bai Ye wasn't around, her acting really plummeted.

But Bai Ye isn't bound to Jing Tian forever; you can't expect Bai Ye to keep filming with Jing Tian all the time, can you?!

Lu Zheng wanted to, but Bai Ye wasn't willing.

Moreover, he also needs to invest more resources in this film.

Jing Tian has to rely on this movie, and Lu Zheng had someone watch it before.

Older directors thought the time-travel logic was ridiculous, although some younger producers thought the movie was quite interesting.

But he was unsure.

The main issue is that one or two big-name directors said this movie wasn't very good.

It feels too over-the-top.

Moreover, the plot is very clichéd. In short, the message to Lu Zheng is that this movie is not good, and they don't think it's promising.

They also felt that Bai Ye, this young man, had some talent, but that was all; he was basically just messing around.

This left Lu Zheng feeling utterly disheartened.

But you can't possibly tell Bai Ye all this, can you?!
If I were to tell Bai Ye all this, wouldn't that be saying I don't trust him?!
He still believed in Bai Ye.

But what people are saying makes me a little unsure.

Moreover, the premise of this drama is truly imaginative, and he's worried that the audience watching the movie might not be able to accept it.

Industry opinions on this matter are polarized.

In addition, Bai Ye has been very busy lately and simply doesn't have that much time for promotion.

Therefore, Lu Zheng could only rely on his own resources to do his best to promote Timeless Cohabitation.

This is the best outcome Lu Zheng could come up with at the moment.

Tonight's preview screening.

Jing Tian and Lu Zheng were waiting here.

Bai Ye can only come tomorrow due to scheduling conflicts.

I learned from Bai Ye that he needs to film more scenes with Yang Mi, and Yang Mi's filming is about to start, so he needs to coordinate his schedule.

So Lu Zheng didn't say anything and just stayed with Jing Tian.

Bai Ye will come with Lin Yufen tomorrow.

When Lu Zheng received the data at the preview screening that evening, a sense of shock flashed through his mind.

this? !

"What's wrong, Uncle Lu!?"

Jing Tian looked at Lu Zheng curiously. Why did he suddenly act like this after getting the data?!

Does this mean the movie didn't receive very good reviews?

"Tian Tian, ​​it seems like our estimates were all wrong. The movie has received very high praise during its preview screenings, and almost all the preview screenings were sold out."

This is without you guys promoting together. If you did, I can't even imagine!

Lu Zheng was genuinely excited, since Jing Tian really lacked a good film to prove herself.

Although the movie can't prove anything at this point.

But either critical acclaim or box office success is good enough.

He also knew how to market it afterward.

This preview screening truly gave Lu Zheng hope.

This is so much better than any of the movies I've seen before.

Those early screenings basically made no splash.

"Really, Uncle Lu?!"

Jing Tian's eyes lit up.

She has always been said to be a "resource-backed" actress, meaning that the best collaboration between her and Bai Ye was their breakout hit.

Everything else was lost.

Jing Tian is quite unhappy right now because of her previous works.

They've been constantly mocked.

Currently, the film's performance seems to be surprisingly good?!
"Yes, take a look for yourself. The preview screening data today is very good. Tomorrow you'll go on the promotional tour with Bai Ye. I can assure you, this movie will definitely be great!"

At least the box office won't be bad!

Is this the popularity of White Night?!
A sense of anticipation suddenly arose in Lu Zheng's heart.

The preview screening received very good reviews, although many people felt it might have been a bit over-the-top.

But at least most people like it.

At least current spacetime theories are relatively rare for this time period.

Many people, after watching it, subconsciously thought of the drama "Someday or One Day".

And most importantly, many people's anticipation for the film "White Night" stems from their memories of those years.

And it's another idol drama, because of those first impressions from back then.

Many people still have a certain bias towards the White Nights.

How Long Will I Love U certainly didn't disappoint.

After the preview screening that night, the box office prediction for How Long Will I Love U, which was originally only 200 million, instantly soared to 600 million.

Clearly, many people feel that this movie cannot surpass those of yesteryear.

But at least it won't be particularly bad.

After Bai Ye brought up the concept of time travel once again.

It doesn't seem too bad or outdated.

Actually, when people first learned that this movie involved time travel, many were worried.

Is this movie somewhat similar to "Someday or One Day"?

Looking at it now, it really was a light comedy!
At the same time, many fans felt it was worth it after watching it!

[The aftereffects were so strong that my contact lens shifted from crying!!!]

Fans posted selfies with their makeup ruined by tears on Weibo's supertopic, along with a photo of a ticket stub and the caption: "Bai Ye + Jing Tian = a tear harvester! In the scene where the male lead disappears, Jing Tian's eyes broke my heart into a QR code!"

This Weibo post instantly garnered over 10,000 likes and was repeatedly shared.

Jing Tian's acting is absolutely phenomenal! Is she really the Jing Tian I know?!

[I told you so! Jing Tian can only really show her acting skills when she's with Bai Ye!]

Many of Jing Tian's fans are almost in tears right now.

Not sisters?!
With your acting skills, you should just stick to acting alongside Bai Ye.

After leaving Baiye, although they didn't want to admit it, their acting skills were truly terrible!

Only by acting alongside Bai Ye did they realize that Jing Tian was a real actress.

[Don't worry everyone, I heard that Tian Tian has been studying lately and hasn't taken on any acting roles to enrich herself!]

Oh my god, doesn't that mean we'll get no exposure?! But it looks pretty good this way!

[Don't worry about exposure. This suggestion came from Bai Ye, so he'll definitely provide a solution later!]

[So, there will be further collaborations in the future!?]

Because of their time-traveling cohabitation, there's a question about the collaboration between Bai Ye and Jing Tian.

Jing Tian's fans are quite self-aware; they know that only Bai Ye can support Jing Tian right now. Besides, the two fan groups have always maintained a harmonious relationship.

Therefore, they are not opposed to the possibility of cooperation between the two parties; on the contrary, they look forward to it.

Moreover, many people saw the documentary shown in the preview screenings.

To better portray the drunken scene of Gu Xiaojiao, Jing Tian volunteered to appear on screen without makeup, and the wrestling scene was filmed 17 times, resulting in bruises on her knees.

Many people now jokingly say: From a resource-backed actor to a drama fanatic, Bai Ye really has a knack for training actors.

There are Easter eggs in this show!!

【I saw it too!! The brand of soy milk that Lu Ming bought for Gu Xiaojiao after his time travel is the same as the one Li Ziwei gave to Huang Yuxuan in Someday or One Day. Is this a plot hole in Bai Ye's story about parallel universes?!】

After all, Lu Ming and Li Ziwei are the epitome of the devoted, affectionate character!

Those who saw the preview screening were somewhat surprised by this Easter egg.

However, this might just be a minor mention.

After all, these kinds of crossovers exist in other dramas of the same name.

[Hey hey hey!!! Don't spoil the plot!!! Don't you guys have any morals?!]

[Yeah! Can those who saw the preview screening please stop giving away spoilers? I'm planning to see it tomorrow!!]

When will this movie be officially released?!

[It'll be released tomorrow! They said the preview screenings will only last one day!]

That's good, I'll go grab some tickets now!

Generally, the official release date of a movie is usually after the preview screenings, with the specific time determined by the film company based on the screening schedule.

If the preview screenings are successful or the market response is enthusiastic, the film may be released ahead of schedule.

If there is too much pressure to schedule screenings, the release date may be adjusted.

However, Lu Zheng had already arranged the release date, and the preview screening was only for one day.

After all, Bai Ye was too busy with filming to participate in promotions.

But by then, it will be time for the official release.

He'll only be there for one day for the preview screening.

The results were surprisingly good.

same moment.

An anonymous post on a film and television forum.

[Plagiarizing "Someday or One Day"? Bai Ye's talent has run dry! Both Lu Ming and Li Ziwei are time-traveling lovers chasing after their wives, even the soy milk trope is copied!]

[Plagiarism?! Please! One is about time travel, the other is about time fusion?! How can this be considered plagiarism? Besides, one is a suspenseful story, the other is a light comedy, how can it be plagiarism?!]

[Haha, aren't they all pretty much the same?! Besides, they have to use their past roles for marketing with every film they make. Can't they stand on their own two feet?]

【No?! You can do it too if you're so capable!!】

A major battle between haters and fans.

Especially considering Baiye's size and its recent surge in popularity, it naturally has a large number of haters.

The fierce battle between the two sides immediately propelled the movie to the top of the trending searches once again.

at the same time.

Dark Knight, a die-hard fan of White Night, also published his long review.

Today I had the pleasure of seeing a preview screening of "How Long Will I Love U". I was quite moved after watching it, and when I got back I started writing this long review.

Bai Ye plays Lu Ming, a down-on-his-luck engineer in 1999 who harbored dreams of becoming an architect.

His silly and adorable traits, such as squatting in his rented room eating corn and using sesame salt to imitate cake, form a strong contrast with Gu Xiaojiao, played by Jing Tian.

Gu Xiaojiao is a gold digger in 2018 whose edges have been worn down by reality. On the surface, she is obsessed with marrying into a mansion, but in reality, she has a deep-seated lack of security due to childhood family changes.

Lu Ming in 1999 and Gu Xiaojiao in 2018 are forced to live together due to a time rift in the door. The two can travel to each other's era through the door, but they cannot change the course of history.

This setting provides fertile ground for comedic moments in the storyline.

Moreover, I think the biggest highlight, besides the fusion of time and space, is the question of Lu Ming's choice later on.

Then there's the contrast in the character played by Bai Ye; I really think her acting is excellent.

Furthermore, I've always believed that Jing Tian was able to showcase her acting skills only when she was with Bai Ye!
Before Lu Ming disappeared, he said goodbye to Gu Xiaojiao in the space-time rift. Jing Tian covered her sobs with a big laugh, which really brought back the old Geng Geng!

Geng Geng and Yu Huai, Lu Ming and Gu Xiao Jiao, I think they always had great chemistry when they were together.

Despite the film's temporal and spatial logic flaws, Bai Ye and Jing Tian's performances successfully diverted the audience's attention from these inconsistencies.

Although the ending didn't provide a definitive answer for the audience, I actually felt that the ending was the best thanks to the nuanced performances of the two actors.

Original intention!

This film is built around the original intention throughout, and in the end, no matter how time flies by, I only care about the lyrics "I only care about you" appearing again.

This movie has earned me another layer of appreciation.

I don't have high requirements for romance movies, as long as they're not too melodramatic.

Of course, this drama has logical flaws in its script, but if you don't examine it closely and just treat it as a romantic comedy, it's not a big deal.

This is absolutely worth the ticket price, in fact, very worthwhile. I personally give this show an 8.5 out of 10!

Dark Knight also reveals his hand directly.

After all, he has always been a die-hard fan of Baiye.

I'd give it 8.5 points, but that's just his personal opinion anyway.

At least this show was quite funny, and the ending was pretty good too.

Although it has an open ending, it is at least not a complete tragedy.

Moreover, they have incredibly creative ideas and their acting is superb; basically, no one can find fault with their performances.

With the added bonus of the Geng Geng and Yu Huai CP.

He felt he would never regret watching this movie.

After the preview screening, he plans to take his family to see it when it is officially released.

As a film critic, I realized that when I watched time-travel dramas like "Someday or One Day," I missed some things.

Watch it a couple more times and analyze everything that can be analyzed.

He also has to be responsible for his fans, especially now that he analyzes Bai Ye's TV series and movies every day, as well as criticizes some other works.

He now has a million followers.

After posting this long Weibo post, he washed up and went to bed.

I'll continue watching tomorrow.

the next day.

The screening schedule for "How Long Will I Love U" has been released, with 35% of the screenings.

There haven't been any major films released recently, and the film has received good reviews after its preview screenings.

Currently, the screening schedule for "Day and Night" is considered finalized.

The main reason is that the Lu government moved some resources, and they will definitely be reducing their resources later.

Because Transformers 3 is going to be released on July 21st, basically all other movies will have to give way to this movie once it arrives.

So before this movie came out, the cinemas had already filled all the available screenings for "White Night".

However, this has also caused dissatisfaction among many directors.

no? !
Is this how they schedule screenings?!

Many people are waiting for this!
If the movie doesn't receive good reviews or perform poorly at the box office.

Then they'll start cursing!

That night.

In Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, 10 PM screenings sold out instantly, with scalpers reselling front-row tickets for as much as 800 yuan. A handwritten notice from a cinema manager went viral on Weibo: "We've added a 2 AM screening; please don't vandalize the ticket office."

Such a grand occasion was instantly astonishing.

They gave us 35% of the screenings, and these tickets sold out just like that!!?

How much will the box office be that day?!

Will it break all those records on the very first day, and then surpass them all the way through time travel?!

Their success back then stunned many people in the industry.

That was a teen movie, yet it grossed a total of 600 million worldwide.

Moreover, after selling off the various copyrights, they made a fortune.

So, Bai Ye is about to start a company. Will he make a fortune again this time?!
