Life in the Light and Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

In 1995, Jackie Chan's "Rumble in the Bronx" was released during the Chinese New Year holiday and achieved good box office results. Subsequently, this period was almost deserted for more than 10 years, mostly dominated by second- or third-rate Hollywood films.

It wasn't until Stephen Chow brought "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" that the film season was revitalized, and since then, the Spring Festival film season has become the strongest film season of the year.

Since it's set to be released on the day of the Spring Festival and aims to reignite the box office, advance promotion is essential.

Huayi Brothers and Han Sanye hit it off immediately and decided to use "Love Like a Bouquet" to break the Spring Festival box office.

The ambition to be monopolized by Hollywood movies, if it ever comes true.

Wu Yang, who wrote and directed the film herself, will receive more praise, and Huayi will be able to boost its stock price once again.

If Han Sanye can achieve corresponding political achievements, it will be a win-win situation for all three parties, so Huayi and China Film Group will fully support him.

In "Love Like a Bouquet", the main creative team is Wu Yang and Liu Yifei, and the rest of the actors are from Huayi.

The itinerary is easier to coordinate and arrange; the only downside is that I won't be able to spend the Spring Festival with my family.

Because the roadshow will begin on the day before the Lunar New Year and last for seven days until the premiere during the Spring Festival.

Huayi Brothers will handle online promotion, China Film Group will handle offline publicity and promotion, and major cinema chains will guarantee a screening rate of over 50%.

Everything is ready, except for the east wind!

Unable to spend the Lunar New Year with her family, Liu Yifei and her mother decided to spend the holiday with her grandmother on New Year's Day.

After that, until the Lunar New Year, it's time to rest.

"I promise I'll video chat with you the moment I wake up every day!"

"You said it, you can't go back on your word."

Listening to the two whispering sweet nothings, Liu's mother, sitting in the passenger seat, rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

Even Peach, sitting in the driver's seat, had an expression on her face that she couldn't bear to look at.

The filming crew, who had already gotten out of the van behind, stared speechlessly at the dark windows.

Originally, all eight of them were determined to conquer Hollywood and wanted to follow Wu Yang to America to make a name for themselves.

However, before setting off, they discovered that Wu Yang, the leader, was indulging in women.

Even they would fall for Liu Yifei.

But they can't be replaced, can they? Jealousy makes people unrecognizable!

"Boss, time is running out!"

Pang Dahai, who served as the director's assistant and was also Wu Yang's personal assistant, glanced at the watch.

Forced to knock on the car window, and facing Wu Yang's impatience and Liu Yifei's angry glare, he gritted his teeth and reminded her.

……

12 month 25 number.

Filming for "Manchester by the Sea" officially began on the Manchester seaside.

Because it was during the Christmas season, apart from a few media outlets from Manchester, Wu Yang did not actively invite any other media.

The main problem is that this movie is filled with despair and oppression, and Leonardo DiCaprio is so immersed in the role that he is like a walking corpse.

She is completely immersed in the role and is not suitable for an interview.

This somewhat hasty press conference was attended by Wu Yang and a group of supporting actors.

These supporting actors are all from the original cast, and each one of them is a skilled actor.

As supporting characters, they don't need to be as immersed as Leonardo DiCaprio.

Judging from the fact that the script was read over in just 3 days and met the filming requirements, now is the perfect time to start filming!

Moreover, the main plot of this movie is about the mutual redemption between the protagonist and the supporting characters.

Ninety percent of the scenes are focused on the main character.

Therefore, Wu Yang did not allow Leonardo DiCaprio to appear in front of the media at all, but simply made an excuse that DiCaprio had something to do.

The promotional hype, or rather the sales figures, for the movie "Manchester by the Sea" all came down to Leonardo DiCaprio.

Now that Leonardo DiCaprio is no longer with us, whether it's for sales or to avoid making a wasted trip, we should just go for it.

Wu Yang primarily interviewed numerous second- and third-tier Hollywood actresses.

Furthermore, because more than 10 women appeared in the film, they were specifically photographed by entertainment reporters.

Then a photo appeared showing Wu Yang surrounded by a group of beautiful women.

The photo is visually stunning, showing Wu Yang in the center, talking animatedly.

Although he has a smile on his face, his face shape always gives people the feeling of a bad boy.

He is extremely attractive to the opposite sex. The actresses surrounding him are all different: some listen attentively, some gaze intently, some look affectionately, and some are charming and alluring.

Moreover, these actresses each have their own unique charm, covering various age groups, such as young, young mature, mature, and even very mature!

It was this one photograph that propelled Manchester's daily newspaper to its highest sales record since its inception.

The heavily edited photo went viral in the US in just three hours.

It spread all over the world in less than 8 hours.

As a major internet power, China is no exception.

The phrase "I'm so envious" has become a trending topic online, and the photo has become a household name.

Wu Yang was naturally unaware of all this.

After finishing a somewhat depressing day of filming, Wu Yang went back to the hotel for dinner and then fell asleep immediately.

These past few days, we've been busy preparing for the film crew to catch up on the schedule, and also to keep Leonardo DiCaprio in good shape.

Wu Yang hasn't been sleeping well for several days. Today's 8-hour shoot was only plagued by a few minor issues.

Filming went very smoothly, but the main storyline of the film was inherently filled with a sense of despair and oppression.

So mentally, Wu Yang was still very tired and didn't even have time to look at her phone.

He also didn't turn off the silent mode on his phone, unaware that things had already exploded in China!

The main character is Liu Yifei, who is at her maternal grandmother's house in Jiangcheng, and appears calm and collected on the surface.

But after making more than 10 calls without anyone answering, I started to panic!

Her thought process was already different from ordinary people, plus she had some of the characteristics of a slightly artistic young woman.

When faced with a decision, one tends to overthink things.

The next day, after Wu Yang woke up, the first thing he did was turn on his laptop and video chat with his girlfriend back home.

When the video call connected, Wu Yang saw Liu Yifei with red and swollen eyes in the video.

Startled, she quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong with me? You seem pretty carefree, don't you? I thought you were busy dealing with all those beautiful women and had forgotten about me!"

"What are you talking about? How could I possibly forget my wife?"

……

After a half-hour explanation, including an apology and the signing of numerous unequal treaties,

Finally, he took his laptop and walked around the hotel room eight times to prove his innocence.

This finally made Liu Yifei smile, and Wu Yang also breathed a sigh of relief.

It can only be said that women in love are just so sentimental!

Because he didn't answer the phone, he started imagining all sorts of things and scaring himself, eventually leading to a breakdown.

The most deadly thing is the unintentional overthinking!

When I finished the video call and checked my watch, I realized it was already half an hour later than usual.

Breakfast had to be eaten on the way, but thankfully that didn't break the rule of never being late.

When Wu Yang saw the various media vehicles gathered outside the film set, he was completely overwhelmed!
