Do you know what it means to have a box office of 54 million in your first big screen debut?
It means that among the younger generation of mainland actors, no one has better performance on the big screen than Zhang Yuanjun.
Even Chen Kun, Lu Yi and Huang Xiaoming are currently popular.
The RMB 130 million score in "The Night Banquet" cannot be counted on Huang Xiaoming's head, but Zhang Yuanjun is the proper male lead in "Famous".
Among the above four young people, Zhang Yuanjun is the youngest. He was 85 years old, which is 8 years younger than Huang Xiaoming, the youngest of Chen, Lu and Huang.
Now that the post-80s generation in mainland China has not yet fully emerged, Zhang Yuanjun's shining achievements have made him a benchmark for male actors of the 80s generation.
On both sides of the Taiwan Strait, except for Nicholas Tse, no one from the 1980s generation has achieved better results than him.
The score of 54 million also means that there are no bad guys around Zhang Yuanjun. Everyone praises him for being handsome, everyone says that he acted well, and everyone is flattering him.
Before, working day and night on the set of "Animal World" didn't feel like anything, but now that I'm out of the set, the compliments and compliments from the outside world made my hair stand on end at first, but then it became more and more pleasant to my ears.
Zhang Yuanjun understood that this was a very dangerous signal.
And there are a lot of celebrities.
Therefore, after he finished his work and returned to Beijing, he rarely appeared in front of the media.
He is also busy, busy preparing for next month's concert, busy familiarizing himself with theater work, and busy supervising the later stages of "Animal World."
In the few interviews he had in public, he mostly promoted his concerts:
"Christmas Eve, December 24th, 8pm, Beijing Stadium."
“Christmas Eve, surprise performance.”
"Tickets will be issued the day after tomorrow. Mobile and Maitian official websites, offline stores, and phone bookings will be opened at the same time."
He had no role in the theater, so he didn't have to come. Anyway, attendance was not taken into account, but Zhang Yuanjun still came to the theater every day.
It was the end of the year and the theater was getting busy. There were many performances scheduled, so he sat quietly in the corner and watched people rehearse.
Zhang Yuanjun is undoubtedly the most eye-catching newcomer this year, but he has not been taken seriously by the theater.
These people who work on dramas are very proud, and they really don’t think that just because you are popular will do whatever you want.
Zhang Yuanjun doesn't need this kind of attention. As a bystander, watching people rehearse and watching the director instruct the actors, he also gains a lot.
Sometimes the director sees how pitiful he is sitting there alone, and asks him to come on stage and say a few lines to enjoy himself.
Will there be a psychological gap from being a popular niche actor who has attracted much attention to being reduced to a sidekick who can't be scheduled to play?
Of course there is, it would be a lie to say there isn't.
But fortunately, Zhang Yuanjun's psychological quality is good and the impact is not big.
An important reason for Zhang Yuanjun's good attitude is the personal care given to him by his teacher Pu Cunxin. The 54 million box office is a real contribution to Pu Cunxin. His rare comedy performance in "Famous" was also recognized by the industry.
For this reason, although Pu Cunxin could not use his position as deputy dean to open a back door for Zhang Yuanjun and force him to rehearse plays, he would still give him some guidance and provide him with some tips.
Another reason is that there are seven new actors in his batch, five of whom are boys. Zhang Yuanjun does not pose any competitive threat to the other four for the time being. He even fell behind them at the start because he was not scheduled to play because of the late report.
Therefore, those four boys did not reject Zhang Yuanjun, the number one student at all.
There is even a faint sense of superiority.
Those who can enter the arts should be said to be somewhat theatrical and arrogant.
Zhang Yuanjun knows that there are some people who look down on film and television and think that drama performances are performances.
These four boys felt a little secretly happy when they saw that the most popular Zhang Yuanjun was not as good as them when he entered the theater, and their attitude toward him improved.
The situation is similar in Guohua. Liu Yifei was not scheduled to play. Similar to Zhang Yuanjun, Yuan Quan also took good care of her.
However, the two of them have been communicating privately about theater life these days, and neither feels left out.
Because next year will be the 100th anniversary of the birth of Chinese drama, and then all theaters will definitely have to rehearse a big show, so that the two of them can play a role.
Zhang Yuanjun has already received the news that Renyi will re-arrange the three major plays "Mutiny", "Sunrise" and "Teahouse" next year, as well as other plays. He will always get the opportunity to star in it.
Mandarin also plays "Teahouse", and Liu Yifei vowed on Penguin that she would play Xiao Dingbao.
Xiao Ding Bao is a very important female character in "Teahouse". Zhang Yuanjun didn't even dare to think that he could play a role of similar importance within one or two years. Liu Yifei actually wanted to play Xiao Ding Bao next year, so Zhang Yuanjun chose to ridicule:
"If you can play Xiao Ding Bao, then I can play Fourth Master Chang." Even if he was bragging, he would not dare to brag that he could play Wang Lifa.
There is not much to say about the working life of the two in the theater, which is monotonous but fulfilling.
Just talking about the outside world, tickets for "Zhang Yuanjun's 'Promising Young Man' Concert in Beijing" went on sale on time at 10:30 am on the 10th.
1,000 tickets were released on the first day and sold out in 10 minutes.
3,000 tickets were released the next Saturday and sold out in 5 minutes.
At 10 a.m. on Sunday, the last batch of 2,000 tickets went on sale on time. Today they were sold out more slowly, taking 20 minutes to sell out.
So far, all 6,000 tickets for Zhang Yuanjun's Christmas Eve concert have been sold. Zhang Yuanjun is very satisfied with this result, and Mobile and Maitian are also very satisfied.
Zhang Yuanjun was still immersed in the happy imagination of a 6,000-person concert, when a piece of ridiculous news broke into his computer screen.
"Lang Lang is courted by Liu Yifei?" Lang Lang’s father confirmed that it was true”
The report first mentioned a revelation that Liu Yifei had asked someone to befriend Lang Lang, and then the reporter asked Lang Lang's father for confirmation.
Later in the report, it was said that Lang Lang's father confirmed the reporter's doubts, saying: "At the end of last year, a friend of mine came to 'matchmaker' for Lang Lang and said that a girl named Liu Yifei liked Lang Lang very much and expressed that she wanted to be his girlfriend. Because I spent most of my time abroad and I didn’t know that Liu Yifei was an actor. When I told Lang Lang about it, he told me that Liu Yifei was an actor and very beautiful.”
The reporter asked Lang Lang whether he agreed to the matchmaker in the end. Lang Lang's father shook his head and said: "No, Lang Lang is too busy, performing all over the world. If he really falls in love with a girl and has no time to spend with her, wouldn't it be a waste of time for others? Besides, Liu Yifei usually has to film everywhere, and both of them are busy people. But Lang Lang still said that he can make friends with Liu Yifei."
If Lang Lang's father had said that, it could still be saved, but the reporter asked about Lang Lang's criteria for choosing a spouse. As a result, Dad Lang came up with a standard for a "royal girl":
"I agree with him meeting girls, and I discussed it with him once. Looking for someone who is rich, who has enough money to spend, and has no worries about food and clothing; looking for someone from the royal family is not bad. We have a very good relationship with Prince Charles, but he doesn't daughter……"
This news is really funny.
It started out as a baseless so-called "revelation". On the other hand, Liu Yifei could have concocted such a story, saying that Lang Lang took the initiative to propose love, and she was very moved and then refused.
Is this kind of thing worthy of a news article?
Is the reporter looking at the new year and focusing on performance?
After the news broke, Liu Yifei ignored it at all. She should still be filming commercials, running events, or watching rehearsals in the theater, as if nothing happened.
