Zhang Yuanjun is in excellent condition on the set these days. The filming in Jianchuan is originally a literary drama that he is better at. These days, he will not NG more than 3 times in each scene.
Those who didn't know thought it was because he was in a happy mood and had adjusted to his condition as the filming was approaching.
Those who knew, such as assistant Xiao Zhao, advised him to restrain himself:
"I'm happy, can we keep a low profile?"
"Am I very high-profile?"
"When you get out of the show, you almost have the word "slut" written on your face."
"Is it so obvious?"
"What else?" Xiao Zhao said, "Also, from now on, you can take your cell phone by yourself. Should I read the text messages when they come? Just in case I see something I shouldn't read, right?"
"What is it? Normal communication, what else shouldn't be seen?" Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile.
"Don't do this to me," Xiao Zhao refused. "I've also been in love. I know what men and women in love are like. I dare to say any words. Now I feel sour when I see this thing."
"No." Zhang Yuanjun took his mobile phone and looked through the text message records with Liu Yifei in the past few days. "This is a normal communication. Let's talk about daily gossip."
"Your family posts more than 100 daily gossips a day?" Xiao Zhao even said it to him. "You post while eating, you post while sleeping, you post during rehearsals. You even take a photo of a kitten or puppy you see on the road and send it over."
Zhang Yuanjun's phone was in her hand, and there were many text messages that she had to read even if she didn't want to.
"What's even more annoying is that sometimes I send you my cell phone and you don't reply. She comes to me and I provoke someone. She doesn't avoid me at all."
"Can she avoid you? Okay, okay, you've worked hard during this period. When "Love Is Afterlife" is finished, I'll give you a week off."
"As soon as the filming of this drama is completed, the pre-production promotion of "Animal World" will begin. How can I lie?"
"After the National Day, when "Animal World" is over, I will go back to the theater to rehearse, and you can go wherever you want."
"That's pretty much it."
In Beijing, Liu Yifei is in good condition during rehearsals at the theater these days.
Whether it's Natalya, whom she knows by heart, or Xiao Dingbao, she is particularly easy to line up.
It seems that once a person is in a happy mood and relaxed, he can do anything.
But the happy mood and relaxed state did not make Liu Yifei get carried away. She knew that as soon as she entered the theater, she played such important roles as Natalia and Xiao Dingbao, which aroused a lot of jealousy and gossip.
Therefore, she remained silent on "White Deer Plain" and did not actively compete for roles.
As Zhang Yuanjun said, the national tours of "Blind City" and "Teahouse" are enough to keep her busy. If she has to compete with Tian Xiao'e, she will be really busy.
She still understands the principle of biting off more than one can chew.
Of course, the theater would not rehearse a play for a newcomer like this. Therefore, when the role of "White Deer Plain" was assigned in mid-September, Liu Yifei "unexpectedly" failed to be selected.
"Oh, Yifei, we all think you can play Tian Xiao'e."
"That's right, if you Natalia is so good at acting, Tian Xiao'e must be good too." Others may not think anything of this, but those who know how to act feel very uncomfortable after hearing this.
Natalia is a skilled woman in "Blind City", and Tian Xiao'e is famous for her bad crotch. These words sounded like a curse to Liu Yifei's ears.
The other party may also realize that he said something wrong and apologize immediately: "Yifei, I mean you acted well, don't think too much about it."
"It's okay, acting, it's all about serving the role, haha." If she couldn't swallow this grievance, then Liu Yifei would have quit the industry long ago.
On the third day after Liu Yifei lost the election, "Love Has an Afterlife" was officially completed in Jianchuan!
Filming started in early March and was completed in mid-September. Including the one-and-a-half-month pause in the middle, "Love Is After Life" took six and a half months to complete all filming tasks.
The hardship and danger involved are self-evident. Yu Feihong got very drunk on the night of the wedding banquet. He didn't say anything and just kept drinking to himself.
"Let her drink, as long as nothing happens to her. She has been under too much pressure in the past six months." This was the consensus of the whole group.
The next morning, Zhang Yuanjun flew directly from Fengyi Airport to Beijing. While waiting at the airport, he accepted a brief interview with reporters.
"It's finished, I'm very happy," Zhang Yuanjun's joy was palpable. "It's been a hard six months, but it's all worth it."
But the reporter was not very interested in a literary film: "The National Day schedule is coming soon. What do you think the results of "Animal World" will be?"
Zhang Yuanjun boasted about 50 million during the promotion of "Famous", but it really came true.
Now the reporter wants him to talk about "Animal World".
Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said: "As an actor, it's hard for me to predict the box office. You should ask Mr. Ren and Director Xu Ke about this question."
"President Ren said yesterday that "Animal World" could exceed 100 million."
"Then I'll leave it to the boss." Zhang Yuanjun said. The producer had already spoken, and Zhang Yuanjun, as an actor, must cooperate.
“Have you read the discussion about Buried Alive online?”
Zhang Yuanjun has been sealed in the mountains for the past few months, and he really hasn't heard any news about "Buried Alive": "What's wrong?"
"'Buried Alive' cannot be introduced into China for some reasons."
"Oh, that's quite a pity." Zhang Yuanjun never thought that this film would come in.
"The global box office of "Buried Alive" now exceeds US$50 million." The reporter informed Zhang Yuanjun of the news.
"Really!" Zhang Yuanjun said in "surprise".
"Does it feel special to have your first Hollywood movie achieve such a good result?"
"Excited."
"Will you shift your development focus to Hollywood in the future?"
"No." Someone else said yes, "I have a national tour after "Animal World", so I won't focus on that for the time being, but if there are good movies in the United States, I will shoot them."
"Isn't there any new drama in the future?"
Zhang Yuanjun certainly couldn’t say he didn’t have any, otherwise he would give the reporter the impression that no one was looking for him. In fact, there were still quite a few books handed to him. After all, the title of the No. 1 student was here: “I have contacted the crew, but I didn’t move forward so quickly. Team, I want to rest for a while first.”
The reporter wanted to ask a few more questions, but Xiao Zhao politely stopped him: "We are about to board the plane, sorry."
"Okay, thank you Yuanjun for accepting our interview today."
"Buried Alive" was restricted from release in the United States, and its first opening box office was very poor. Half a month after its release on August 3, the total box office was only a few hundred thousand dollars.
But the film's biggest ticket sales are in Europe.
Audiences in the three major ticket markets of Britain, France and Germany liked this movie very much.
The film is also popular in Spain, the native country of film director Rodrigo Cortez.
In just one month, "Buried Alive" has earned over US$30 million in Europe. With the growth of the European box office, Summit Entertainment is striving to expand the release of "Buried Alive" in North America.
By the time Zhang Yuanjun finished filming "Love After Life", the box office of "Buried Alive" in North America also exceeded 15 million US dollars. One and a half months after the film was released, the global box office total exceeded 50 million US dollars.
China Film and Huayi were both crazy about it.
I frantically sent myself press releases, saying that I had a hand in the success of "Buried Alive" and that "Buried Alive" proved that my overseas strategy was successful.
The film cannot be imported into the country, but Huayi is looking for ways to see if it can be made into a batch of films.
When two families issue a "Buried Alive" notice, they must mention Zhang Yuanjun.
A movie with an investment of US$3 million was awarded US$50 million at the box office by Zhang Yuanjun.
Zhang Ziyi hasn't done this well at the box office in Hollywood, has she?
The first person of the 1980s generation? Coupled with the popular generation of 1970s, Zhang Yuanjun in 1985 had the best results.
After the international chapter, another international chapter must be added. (End of chapter)
