Chapter 659: Full of Harvests
Liu Yifei will definitely be absent from the entire promotion of "Get Out! Cancer King".
But the hot search for Liu Yifei's daughter has contributed to the unprecedented popularity of the film.
Cheng Yu'an went to the scene to thank the premiere fans for their support.
"Thank you very much for your support for the film and Yifei."
"Yifei is still recovering. On behalf of Yifei, I would like to apologize to the crew and the audience."
The box office of "Get Out! Mr. Tumor" on its first day (including on-demand screenings and non-on-demand screenings) exceeded 70 million, ending "Monster Hunt"'s dominance of the single-day box office championship.
Yifei's production is a hot topic, and another thing is that the audience has seen Liu Yifei with short hair, but they have never seen Liu Yifei with a bald head.
During the promotion of "Tumor King", the crew released a pre-recorded video by Liu Yifei. She talked about her bald image:
"...I don't think about whether it looks good or not, I just respect the creative wishes of the screenwriter and director. Xiong Dun shaved his head, so I shaved my head. In fact, I have always wanted to shave my head privately, and this time I used this drama to satisfy myself.
wish."
Liu Yifei's acting skills were finally recognized by the audience through the movie "Tumor King".
In the past, the roles she played were either the sideline heroine next to the male protagonist ("Inception", "Pacific Rim"), the beating heroine ("John Wick"), or the heroine who did not require any acting skills ("John Wick").
"Northwest").
In the low-budget movie "Tumor King", Liu Yifei plays a cancer patient with great emotional ups and downs. Her acting skills and her own accumulation and hard work that she has honed over the years are finally released and proven in the movie.
"I wonder who else dares to say that Sissi is a flower vase and that she has no acting skills."
"Sissi gave her best performance so far in "Tumor King" and deserves a Best Actress trophy." This is a bit exaggerated.
After suppressing "Monster Hunt" in a single day, "Monster" continued to lead the single-day box office, with revenue of 261 million in the first four days.
The cost of 40 million made a profit in the first week.
It also created the best results for Hu Ge and Liu Yifei since they started working in the industry (domestic films).
On the other side of the ocean, the North American summer season is about to come to an end.
A major film (animation) company is going all out this year, with a total of six films, from the first "Collapse" (May 29) to "Minions with Big Eyes" released on July 10.
Total summer box office revenue exceeds $3 billion!
Successfully aspired to the North American summer season championship, stepping on all six traditional majors!
Partners such as Universal, Disney, and Fox also made a lot of money this summer.
They regard a major film company as their best partner.
"This Oriental can bring us very considerable profits."
In the Korean market, "Veteran" produced by YC Studio and distributed by CJ Entertainment has exceeded 9 million box office in South Korea, becoming the Korean annual champion!
After CJ and others reconciled with Yuanyuan, their support for YC Studio was unprecedented, because Cheng Yu'an really brought their investment into Hollywood and reciprocated the favor. CJ stopped being a monster for a while and cooperated honestly. After all.
For a while, they really couldn't find a better partner than YC Studio.
However, YC Studio has kept an eye on it and has stopped developing new projects, and is gradually transferring its personnel and energy to Tudou (South Korea).
This summer, Tudou (South Korea) hit the loudest hits. "Upper Society" and "Oh My Ghost" aired in July, as well as "Remember You" aired in August, won over one million paid subscriptions for the website.
user.
The membership fee of Tudou (Korea) is not expensive, 9,700 won/month, which is equivalent to 50 yuan per month.
Yuan Yuan has been deeply involved in Korea for many years and has a good relationship with various Korean producers, large and small. It is expected to achieve such results.
But the expansion in the Japanese market has not been so smooth.
It's already August, and Tudou (Japan) hasn't even been able to release a self-produced series.
However, the website has contacted Shueisha, a Japanese local snake, and the two parties will cooperate on the film and television production of more than 20 animated series.
There is no way, Japanese people like to watch animations, and if Tudou wants to enter the Japanese market, it is best to use animations.
Tudou (Japan) has obtained authorization from Shueisha, and its first animated series "One Punch Man" will premiere in October.
There are also discussions about cooperation on live-action series.
Why so anxious?
Because Netflix is coming!
On the 5th of this month, Netflix announced that it will launch its service in Japan on September 2nd, officially entering the Asian market.
Cheng Yuan is a major shareholder of Netflix, but he has no voting rights and cannot interfere in Netflix’s decision-making.
Even if he can intervene, so what? Can he still say on the board of directors that you don't want to come? Asia is my private territory?
Not realistic.
Netflix has also clearly felt the threat from Tudou in the Asian market. After Tudou relied on its super online drama plan to secure its position as the leader of domestic video websites’ self-produced dramas, it has gradually extended its reach to various regions in Asia.
The market structures of Japan and South Korea have been established, and regions such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, India, Hong Kong and Taiwan are also seizing the time to lay out their plans.
This makes Netflix eager to catch up and conquer the Asian market.
Netflix has a huge Hollywood movie library and a patchwork library of resources. Even ten potatoes can’t compete with Netflix.
I just want to rely on the first-mover advantage to see if I can gain a firm foothold in the Asian market and cope with the impact.
Cheng Yu'an finished his day's work and came to the actor training group of "The Wandering Earth".
Li Xian and Zhao Jinmai were the first group to conduct physical training.
The two of them had to wear more than 90 kilograms of protective clothing throughout the filming. Without training, ordinary people would not be able to withstand it.
The actual spacesuit generally weighs more than 200 kilograms. This is because the weight of the starring spacesuit was specially reduced for filming needs.
In addition to physical training, the performance instructor also tailored performance training for the two young actors, especially Zhao Jinmai.
She had made third-rate children's films before, and almost all of her acting habits could not be used in "The Wandering Earth".
Although "The Wandering Earth" does not have so high requirements for acting skills.
Wang Chunzi specially brought a camera to cultivate feelings for Zhao Jinmai.
"Wrong!" Wang Chunzi was very strict with Zhao Jinmai, "Don't look at the camera!"
Cheng Yu'an silently watched Wang Chunzi train actors.
"Maimai, I will teach you the first lesson in acting today, don't look at the camera.
"Forget about the existence of the camera. All you see is your opponent, the actor, and the environment around you."
"You can look anywhere, just don't look at the camera."
The lens sense is a very harmful thing.
Let alone young actors, many old actors cannot change this habit.
Except for some close-ups that require actors to stare at the camera, such as the last scene of "Memories of Murder", most directors hate actors looking for the camera.
Wang Chunzi did not explain to Zhao Jinmai what the fourth wall was. This concept was too difficult for a 13-year-old girl.
He just told her: "The camera represents the eyes of the audience. Unless special arrangements are made, actors cannot look at the audience. This will break the audience's sense of immersion in the entire drama."
"Give me your truest reaction. When your mother caught you eating snacks, you must have lowered your head in shame. Would you look into your mother's eyes? No way? Your mother's eyes are the camera at this time. Do you understand?
?”
"Yeah." The little girl still understands this metaphor.
"Okay, let's do it again." Wang Chunzi said, "Li Xian, come here too. Don't think that I can't cure you after graduation."
Even after graduation, students are still afraid of teachers.
Chapter completed!
