For example, Wu Mengda also praised "The Wandering Earth" on various occasions, and even exaggeratedly said that "The Wandering Earth" was his "only successful film in his career as an actor." This was quite a show of respect, and his answers during interviews were also very thoughtful.
...
"To be honest, when they started looking for me, they sent me the director's information. Guo Fan, who had done some movies, and seemed to have won an award, but I didn't recognize him! And I didn't think he had done many movies.
So I was very skeptical at first..."
"And the script was so grand. I thought at first they bought the script that Hollywood didn't want and made it themselves. I really can't imagine that it was written by us Chinese."
"I liked the script very much, so I accepted it. After entering, it was the first time I saw a Chinese film studio with a special medical room and ambulance. It was shot in real locations. I was so excited. I feel like this is called the film industry!"
"Then, it was so hard! It was really hard. It can be said that it was the hardest time for me to film in so many years. Sometimes I would even cry when I returned to the hotel. I would also blame the company for helping me take this role and ask myself
Why do you have to come here and suffer like this?"
"After every scene, I had to inhale oxygen. Not only did the wire have to be hoisted up and down, but also sideways, front and back. There were several times when it was hanging in the air. The director was actually discussing with the lighting engineer how to hang the light appropriately.
,This really hurts me, an old man..."
"To be honest, other crews got over it very quickly, so even though they are tired, I can see that this team really wants to make a movie!"
"This is also a movie that I can really pull off after more than 40 years of filming. This is my own feeling. I hope you will like it."
In fact, when Lin Qingyuan heard these words, he was still very touched...
What kind of roles did Uncle Da play in the past, clown? Funny? Making a fool of himself?
There is no intention to disparage comedians, but Lin Qingyuan guessed that Uncle Da did not want to wait until his death. The impression he left on everyone was that he was a clown who acted as a supporting actor and made a fool of himself in movies...
After all, unlike the box office, the status of comedians in the field of domestic entertainment, film and television is indeed not particularly high...
This is also the main reason why mainland comedians have always wanted to seek development in fields other than comedy.
Huang Bo is one, Bao Qiang is another, including Shen Teng, the protagonist of "Flying Life", one of the three giants in this year's Spring Festival, is also one.
They are all actors with self-pursuit, so naturally they will not think about staying in their comfort zone comedy field for the rest of their lives.
Lin Qingyuan admired them very much, but in fact he was not bad either.
After all, he already has a movie, so why is he so eager to imitate Li Feng and Yang Yang's transformation?
In fact, those who are really eager to transform are those thirty-year-old actors who have acted in too many idol dramas.
There is a fundamental difference between Lin Qingyuan, a film and TV star who has achieved good results in both film and television fields, and their group of male idol drama stars, so naturally there is no need to worry about transitioning into a serious drama.
After all, he himself is at the top of the contempt chain of domestic entertainment actors, and he is not a player on the same track as them.
Movie stars are so talented.
After Wu Mengda finished speaking, Wu Jing continued.
"Qingyuan just works hard. I'm not joking randomly. He is really an actor with a very acting attitude and talent."
"Yes, he is an actor. Although he looks more like a star when he is outside, he can quickly enter the state of an actor as soon as he is filming."
"Sometimes he even gives us the feeling that he is learning acting while filming on the set. Not only is he frantically looking for people to ask for advice on acting, but he also improves very quickly."
"On New Year's Day, everyone is welcome to go to the cinema and watch our "The Wandering Earth". Thank you everyone!"
Finally, after all the actors had finished expressing their feelings, director Guo Fan then bowed and said: "Please believe that "The Wandering Earth" is really a very sincere movie, and the hard work of all our crew has been put into it.
, I still hope everyone can support it..."
After the premiere, the leading actors and creators were divided into groups to be interviewed by various media.
Wolf Warrior Wu Jing, director Guo Fan, and original author Liu went to Channel 6 for more mainstream interviews, while two young actors, Lin Qingyuan and Zhao Jinmai, stayed for exclusive interviews with the next-level Penguin Entertainment.
Facing the host's question about how he was selected to play the role of Little Broken Ball, Zhao Jinmai first answered: ""The Wandering Earth" is the first film I have filmed as an actor after filming "Balala Little Magic Fairy".
The movie is indeed not mature in terms of performance, but it is of great significance, so it is really an honor to be chosen by the director to play Han Duoduo..."
"And when I was filming "The Wandering Earth", I was only 15 years old. I just entered high school that year, but because of filming, I never had the opportunity to go to school..."
"So the most profound memory is probably when I took a break after filming every day. In order not to fall behind in my study progress, I had to read books and do homework by myself. To be honest, studying while filming was really tiring. Fortunately, I had Brother Yuan with me at that time.
We do homework together and help me study."
"In addition, we have to go for a run every morning to exercise, otherwise we would not be able to wear protective clothing for filming. It is really too heavy, weighing a full 60 pounds!"
In response to this question, Lin Qingyuan then added: "Yes, our shooting tasks during that period were very heavy. We often had to shoot for more than 20 hours continuously. The work was very intensive. When we were tired and sleepy, we could only lie on the set and squint.
After a while, even adult men couldn’t hold it in any longer, let alone Mai Mai, who was only 15 years old at the time.”
"There were even times when we were discussing with the director how to hang Wia next, but when we turned around, we found that Mai Mai was already lying on the ground and fell asleep pitifully. She was really working hard, and she didn't look like a girl who hadn't yet.
Adult little sister..." Lin Qingyuan turned to look at Zhao Jinmai, her expectant eyes seemed to be telling Lin Qingyuan to quickly increase the intensity and continue blowing.
"That's right, and Mai Mai is so serious that the rest of us are embarrassed to be lazy. She is a role model for our entire crew, and we are all learning from her..."
"Brother Yuan is also very hard-working. Our whole crew likes him very much. Director Guo, Brother Jing and teacher Wu Mengda all like him." Zhao Jinmai blushed at the boast.
"The whole crew likes me? So Mai Mai, do you like me, brother?" Lin Qingyuan joked casually. He was just joking, not Li Jiaheng.
"You think too much." Zhao Jinmai rolled his eyes at Lin Qingyuan, then turned his head to the other side arrogantly, no longer looking at him.
"I've been tutoring you for so long, and yet you treat me like this. Brother, I'm really heartbroken..."
Zhao Jinmai patted Lin Qingyuan's arm and said angrily: "Stop being such a dramatic person and ask the next question!"
"How is your relationship with Brother Jing? This question is a bit personal, but it's not impossible to answer."
"Actually, we collaborated on one... two dramas after the filming of Little Broken Ball was completed. I won't name them for the time being to keep them a bit mysterious, but you can look forward to them a little bit." Lin Qingyuan was referring to the other specially invited actors.
"Galaxy Tutorial" and "The Climber" which he has not yet joined the cast of.
"Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate to you today that when I took on this film in 2017, I was not well-known and the pay was very low. You may not believe the figure, but it is indeed very high.
Low, so those netizens who say that the crew chose me as the male lead because of my traffic can take a break. I had no traffic at all at that time..."
............
I was busy until almost nine o'clock in the evening before I finally finished the premiere press conference.
Led by Guo Fan and Wu Jing, a group of people simply formed a bureau and found a random place outside to have late-night snacks.
"Brother Jing, when you go to XZ to film a movie, is it serious about anti-censorship?" Lin Qingyuan is very concerned about this issue, because he will have to join the crew for reshoots in two months.
"It was quite serious. After filming for a while, I had to take oxygen and rest for ten minutes. This time I returned to the capital as a holiday for my body. It was really uncomfortable there."
"Brother, you must have serious high reflexes, you have so many muscles." Zhao Jinmai poked Lin Qingyuan's arm.
"Not necessarily. Hypertension is mainly related to a person's cardiopulmonary function. However, the higher the muscle content and the greater the oxygen consumption, the easier it is to have hyperthyroidism." Lin Qingyuan shook his head.
"How is your cardiopulmonary function?" Zhao Jinmai blinked and asked again.
"How do I know such detailed data..."
"By the way, our movie is very popular now. I see a lot of discussion on the Internet." Guo Fan said casually.
"Mainly because Qingyuan has so many fans, the early popularity of this movie basically had to be supported by him alone."
"The popularity in the later period will have to be supported by everyone." Lin Qingyuan smiled and did not deny it, because it was indeed the case.
Currently, in the ranking of movie popularity on Weibo, the first place is "The Wandering Earth", the only movie that dares to be screened in advance during this year's Spring Festival, followed by "Flying Life", and the third place is "Crazy Alien".
..
Although the rankings on Weibo tend to favor Lin Qingyuan, who has more female fans, there must be a good reason why a movie can rank first in Weibo's hot search index during the most competitive Spring Festival period.
After all, the number of fans in a single fan circle is absolutely impossible to be greater than the number of passers-by.
This is also the main reason why many small-time celebrities are obviously successful in their respective fields, but as soon as they enter the film industry that requires them to fight against the box office, they quietly exit in despair.
As of January 30, six days before the movie is officially released, the pre-sale situation will be roughly known.
"Crazy Alien" has pre-sales of 84 million, and the tentative film schedule is 20%;
"Flying Life" has pre-sales of 74 million, and the film schedule is 22%;
"The Wandering Earth" has pre-sales of 80 million and 21% of the film schedule;
"The New King of Comedy" has pre-sales of 74 million, and the film schedule is 17%...
The remaining four films share the remaining 19 percent of the schedule...
Just from the movie schedule on the first day of release, you can tell which movies are more promising in theaters.
Obviously, the box office champion of this year's Spring Festival will most likely come from these four movies.
