Chapter 361: Shooting in progress

Liu Shishi has almost no film achievements, but in the field of TV dramas, he is the king at the beginning of this year!

"Bu Bu Jing Xin" is aired!

On January 31st, it was released on Mango Channel's "Accidentally Falling in Love with You". On the first day, the ratings of the two episodes reached CSM 35 to 1.95, ranking first in market share.

Except for the Spring Festival Gala broadcast which was suspended for one day on February 2, the ratings of "Step by Step" never dropped below 1.7, reaching a peak of 3.2.

By the time Cheng Yuan flew to Toronto, the average ratings of "Step by Step" had stabilized at 3.0.

Now when Liu Shishi is walking in the company, who doesn’t call her Sister Shi Shi?

Several dramas to be broadcast have started promotion in advance.

The most intuitive impact is that Liu Shishi’s net worth has skyrocketed!

The commercial performance quotation exceeded one million, and dozens of endorsement companies came to my door.

The movie "Step by Step" gave Liu Shishi the potential to become the first sister of a remote TV series.

LeTV directly offered 20 million to buy out the exclusive online broadcast rights of "Bu Bu Jing Xin", but LeTV ignored it.

"Bu Bu Jing Xin" was sold to dozens of satellite TV and terrestrial channels in the second and third rounds. Yuan Yuan vowed to promote "Bu Bu Jing Xin" to the highest level.

The popularity of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" made the crew of "Palace" very frustrated.

"Palace" was aired only one week after "Bu Bu Jing Xin", and of course its ratings were also very good, with an average of 1.5 in the early period. However, "Bu Bu Jing Xin" took the first place in the TV show. In terms of marketing and business, it was "

Palace" is incomparable.

Then, it was suddenly revealed that "The Palace" plagiarized "Bu Bu Jing Xin", which instantly pushed Yu Zheng to the forefront of public opinion.

"Remote Film and Television has inherited the exquisiteness of Tang Ren and Zhou Yi's costume dramas. "Bu Bu Jing Xin" can make the audience feel the sincerity of careful production, whether it is the characters, the scenery or the props, even the opening and closing credits. In contrast,

"Palace" seems too rough."

"The same Qing Dynasty, the same nine sons competing for the title, it's hard to say who copied who, but "Step by Step" is obviously more serious than "The Palace". As for the heroine, Liu Shishi is better than Yuan Shan in terms of appearance and temperament.

Shan Geng stands out."

Neither side responded to the controversy over the two dramas.

Even Tong Hua, the original author of "Bu Bu Jing Xin", avoided answering similar questions during the event.

On the other side of the ocean, the crew of "The Hunt" was looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally the director was here.

Cheng Yuan jumped into the crew. He was already a few days late in China, and he had to rush to attend the Oscars later which would be delayed. He had to go all out these days.

"Ka! Very good." Cheng Yu'an sat on the director's chair and shouted stop.

Sitting aside, Liu Yifei was bored: "Why don't you talk about drama? Every day is just action and clicks."

"I give you Matthew McConaughey and Hugh Grant and Roger Deakins, and you can do the same."

If a team like this still wants the director to tell the story, then it's better to die.

"Watch Matthew and Grant's acting carefully and study hard. They are both national treasure-level actors."

It's quite cold in Toronto right now, but this is the kind of weather "Hunting" wants.

After three days of filming, Du Amé flew from the United States to visit the studio.

"Hunting" was a film that Mark Muller personally booked. It can be said that this film was already included in the main competition list from the moment he made the phone call.

Duame should come and take a look.

"Mark will step down as festival chairman next year," Duame said. "This year he personally invited many people to Venice."

Of course Cheng Yu'an has feelings for Venice, after all, he came from Venice.

But there was really nothing he could do about Venice's plight.

Cannes has been very comfortable with its strong trading market, while Venice and Berlin have indeed been in decline in the past two years.

Art films are becoming a niche. Although the three major European films are still the highest palaces in the hearts of filmmakers around the world, their attention is indeed difficult to compare with the Oscars.

Du Amei stayed on the set for half a day and then went back.

Cheng Yuan continued filming.

Now we have to shoot a scene where the protagonist Lucas is bullied by a store clerk while shopping in a mall, and the two sides fight.

Everyone in Lucas' town misunderstood that he had sex with a little girl, and his beloved dog was also killed by a stranger last night.

This scene is very intense and has 5 days on the schedule.

"Let's try it first." Cheng Yu'an said, "Action."

Matthew McConaughey stands in front of the meat stall with a basket.

"I want two pork chops."

While cutting the meat, the salesperson looked up at Matthew and said, "No."

But he clearly saw pork chops in the container and pointed to the freezer:

"I want this pork chop."

The salesperson showed an expression of impatient disgust: "I don't sell it."

Matthew looked at the salesman with a complicated expression, struggling on the spot, opening his mouth to say something, but he didn't know what to say. After taking two steps, he said softly but firmly: "I have the right to be here."

The tall and muscular salesman put down the knife and showed a fierce look: "Get out, get out quickly."

But Lucas didn't care and still wanted to buy: "I want these two pork chops."

The salesman wiped his hands, walked out, and punched Lucas in the face without saying a word.

Lucas struggled to get up, and the manager came up and said, "Get out of my store now and don't come back again." Seeing Lucas stand up, the manager said, "You are not welcome here."

Matthew crushed the small blood bag, drew a nosebleed on himself, stood up and said, "He hit me, how can he hit anyone casually?" He then went up to argue with the salesperson.

Two mall employees nearby jogged over and grabbed him.

"Can I hit anyone at will?"

"Get out, you are not welcome here."

"Don't touch me, I will leave on my own."

"Click!" Cheng Yu'an shouted to stop.

"Lucas, you have to be more aggrieved, but still stubborn."

Matthew said OK on set.

"Martin (salesperson assistant), don't be too aggressive. You are just an ordinary salesperson. You just want to get rid of him and cut the meat in a lower voice."

"OK."

"Okay, it was good just now, let's do it again."

Cheng Yu'an filmed this indoor scene for five and a half days and went through it more than 30 times.

"I looked specifically at Matthew's eyes. That dull and stubborn look was really well done." She would watch it on the set these days and often ask Matthew for advice.

"He can actually change more than a dozen acting styles in one scene, and each one is very flavorful." Liu Yifei praised.

"Although Matthew has not won many awards, he has always been a well-known actor in Hollywood, and many producers like to work with him." Cheng Yu'an said, "Roles like Lucas are not his best.

He is best at playing sick or even crazy characters. He is good at using micro-expressions and small body movements. If you look at the scene in the shopping mall, his eyes and small steps are used very well."

After filming this scene, the crew will take a two-day break because the Oscars are about to begin, and not only Cheng Yu'an will be attending, but many actors and staff members in the same group will have to leave the production temporarily.

The nomination list has been announced, and "The Social Network", "The King's Speech" and "Inception" from a major film company have all been shortlisted.

Because director David Fincher of "The Social Network" missed too many pre-show awards and was not active in public relations, the Academy felt that he did not respect the Oscars, so the probability of winning the award this year is very low.

Films like "Inception" are naturally not favored by the old white men at the academy, and it is expected to only win a few technical awards.

Looking at it this way, "The King's Speech", which was not favored by others, has the greatest chance of winning.

"Cheng, I wish you good results this year."

"Thank you, see you at Oscar."
