On November 25, "A Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart", which had been in theaters for a month, was released, with a cumulative box office of 15 million, setting a record for the highest box office for a film directed by Wang Xiaoshuai.
In fact, there were not many copies of "Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart", and it was mainly shown in a few big cities. Because of the publicity effect of Cheng Hao being crowned Tokyo Best Actress, the box office was concentrated in the first two weeks after its release. But after all, it is literature and art.
The film has a limited audience. In the next two weeks, it will be mainly released in theaters of China Film and Bona Cinemas. The film schedule is also reduced to less than 5%. In the end, it can achieve a box office of 15 million. It is already a very big player in the purely literary film market.
Remarkable results.
Oh, let me say one more thing. Although the special effects disaster blockbuster "Super Typhoon", which was released on the same day as "Thousand Arrows Pierced the Heart" to challenge "The Day After Tomorrow", had an unfavorable premiere, it finally completed the review of "Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart".
Beyond, the box office exceeded 16 million when it was released.
For this movie, which has an investment of up to 50 million, no one is interested in the overseas market, and the domestic box office share may not even be a fraction of the investment, it is undoubtedly a loss to my grandma's family.
However, if according to director Feng Xiaoning, "Super Typhoon" is an opportunity for the domestic special effects industry and contributes to the Chinese film industry, it should be said that the loss is worth the money. After all, it allows the audience to fully appreciate the level of domestic special effects that only cost 50 cents.
, spur them to know their shame and then be brave.
The success of later "The Wandering Earth" may be due to this.
…
"Who are you writing to?"
"Ghost girl!"
In a room with an extremely luxurious setting, Li Bingbing was writing furiously at the desk, while Cheng Hao crept up behind her and suddenly pushed her.
Li Bingbing turned around and gave the other party an angry look.
"Card!"
Xu Ke stopped and gestured: "Bingbing, you have to put together what you wrote, and don't write so fast. If you have something on your mind, write thoughtfully."
"I understand, director."
"Okay, come again!"
These two days mainly focus on filming the scenes of the two heroines. Compared with Cheng Hao who can quickly get into the mood, Li Bingbing is relatively slow to get into the mood. Maybe she is not fully prepared, or she is not as smart as Cheng Hao and can draw inferences from one instance. She is more
Most of them are the kind of actors who are stubborn.
Of course, Li Bailian was able to get to where she is today, and her professional ability is nothing to say. When Xu Ke pointed out the problem, he was able to quickly correct it, and it was very natural.
"Oh? What's the use of writing a letter! When we go out in two days, I will go to Mr. Liu myself and punish him!"
Li Bailian pursed her lips and smiled. Her smile was very layered. It was bitter at first, because Cheng Hao mentioned Liu Linzong; then her eyes moved, and she saw the innocence and squeamishness on Cheng Hao's face from the corner of her eye, so the bitterness turned into a doting smile.
She got up and walked over to pour water. At the same time, she smiled bitterly and said, "Do you really think you can go out in two days?"
"That's right! I guess I know who the ghost is!"
Cheng Hao was still lying on the desk, looking at her sideways, with a matter-of-fact expression on his face.
Li Bailian, who was relatively rational, paused in pouring water, and looked back at her. They looked at each other, with different meanings in their eyes. Li Bailian pursed her lips and didn't ask any more questions. She stretched out her hand and handed over the teacup in her hand: "
Give!"
Cheng Hao gently twisted his waist, then suddenly stopped and raised his hand to face the camera.
The atmosphere was a little solid? Then there was a voice: "The clothes are untied."
Li Bailian lowered his head and touched his clothes in confusion.
"On the left side, I'll help you fix it."
"Such a big hole...do you have any needle and thread?"
"There should be...there really is!"
Cheng Hao took out his sewing box and squatted down to help Li Bailian take off her cheongsam.
"Card!"
Xu Ke shouted to stop again, and he was silent for a while. After a long while, he said: "It feels like it was a little worse. Let's try it again."
"A!"
The two of them didn't know why, so they had to play it again.
There was obviously a change in this journey. She acted more casually. First she lay on Li Bingbing's back, then leaned against the desk. Her soft waist connected to her buttocks, outlining a wonderful S-shape, which was both sexy and beautiful.
Also cute and cute.
Li Bingbing, however, has not changed much and is almost a complete copy of the previous one.
"Card!"
"Take a rest! Bingbing, come on."
"Director, what's wrong?" Li Bailian came over, looking a little confused.
"Bingbing, from a technical point of view, there is no problem with your performance just now. It can even be said to be perfect..."
Li Bailian had a proud smile on her face. Regardless of her eyes, expression or body language, she was very satisfied with her performance.
But then Mr. Xu changed the topic and said: "But, I haven't seen your emotional output in terms of technique alone..."
"director……"
Li Bailian was a little unconvinced.
Old Monster Xu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Be patient and let me explain my understanding. You know that Gu Xiaomeng is the old ghost. You may think that Cheng Hao is all acting, but in the play Li Ningyu doesn't know
, she has realized the seriousness of the situation, and feels worried and pity for Gu Xiaomeng's innocence and outspokenness. You have to express this emotion. And because of Liu Linzong's disappearance, Li Ningyu has been feeling
You're just pretending, Gu Xiaomeng is her best friend, in this situation, you only rely on her emotionally, do you understand what I mean?"
"Director, you mean that I let the emotions be released more intensely, right?" Li Bailian hesitated.
She knew that in the play, she and Cheng Hao had an emotional interaction that went beyond friendship. Of course, as an actor, she had already been mentally prepared, but she understood that this kind of emotion would sprout up little by little as the plot progressed, but it was just not good at the moment.
The fire was not enough, so she tried her best to stop acting.
"No, no, no, it's not strong, but...well, you'd better add some small movements, and there should be something in your eyes, that kind of aloofness..."
As Xu Ke spoke, he gestured with two fingers: "It's like a line, just hovering next to the line. You can't stay away from it, and you can't cross it. Uh, do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand." Li Bailian pursed her lips and nodded.
Old Monster Xu has said so much. To put it bluntly, it is just two words: "feeling"!
She didn't have this feeling, so naturally she couldn't express her emotions, but when she was acting just now, she could clearly feel the aggressiveness of Cheng Hao's gaze on her, which made her feel a little numb.
Looking back now, she had to admit that the other party did a better job than her.
She is the Tokyo Movie Queen after all!
But when I think about the term Best Actress, although she has won the Huabiao Award and the Hundred Flowers Award, compared with the Tokyo Best Actress, one of the top 12, her gold content is not even one star lower.
Realizing her shortcomings, but at the same time arousing her competitive spirit, she bit her lip and said: "Then let's do it again!"
"No, I can pass this one just now, but next I hope to see you have emotional interaction, OK?"
Li Bailian took a deep breath, became more stubborn, shook her head and said, "Director, please give me ten minutes to adjust. I want to do another scene just now."
"Uh, okay!" Xu Ke hesitated slightly, but still agreed with a smile.
Li Bingbing was very frustrated. The performance she originally thought she was proud of was just passable in the eyes of the director. She understood what the director meant, but she felt that sometimes this thing was really mysterious. Even the director couldn't explain it clearly just now.
Because everyone understands the character from completely different angles, but what the director wants is her understanding of Li Ningyu, not just relying on techniques.
She turned back to look for Cheng Hao. In the past two days, there were not many people in the studio because they were focusing on filming their scenes. Except for the staff, other actors were on holiday. For example, Wang Zhiwen was anxious to return to Shanghai to see his newly born son;
Hu Jun and Ying Da also returned to the capital to rest. Even He Xin and Wang Kai, who usually stay on the set, did not show up today.
She immediately found her wrapped in a long yellow down jacket, sitting at the corner of the corridor, chatting and laughing with someone, with a cigarette in her mouth and puffing away.
She couldn't help but laugh when she thought of He Xin's bitter face every time she saw Cheng Hao smoking. When she walked over, she discovered that the person chatting with Cheng Hao turned out to be Liu Weiwei, another actor on the crew.
"Sister Bingbing!" Liu Weiwei saw Li Bingbing coming and stood up to say hello.
The two of them work for the same company, and although they have not worked together before, they have known each other for a long time. Speaking of which, Liu Weiwei has broken up with Lao Gao, but their pair fully demonstrates what it means to remain friends after a breakup. Lao Gao still takes good care of her.
, although the female assassin who guest-starred this time did not have many roles, she was second only to the two heroines. And I heard that she also became the heroine of Wang Xiaoshuai's new movie "Left and Right" through the dual relationship between Lao Gao and He Xin.
.
"Wei Wei, come to see Director Gao?" Li Bingbing joked with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Liu Weiwei was quite calm and said openly: "Well, the weather is getting cold, so I brought Lao Gao some clothes and came over to visit the class."
It sounds a bit like breaking up but not leaving home.
Being so calm, Li Bingbing couldn't say anything else, so he had to smile, push the subject aside and say, "Hey, give me a cigarette."
She and Cheng Hao actually had no contact at all before they started working together, but one had a high emotional intelligence and the other was a good person. After the cooperation, their relationship quickly warmed up, and they became like a pair of good sisters.
Cheng Hao dug into the pocket of his down jacket and took out a pack of crumpled soft Chinese.
"Oh, yes! It's much better than that stingy husband of yours." Li Bingbing smiled and took one.
"He's like that!" Cheng Hao pouted, maybe a little dissatisfied that her husband didn't show up on the set today.
He took out the lighter and helped her light a fire. He pressed it several times but it didn't light up. He withdrew depressed and said, "I'm out of gas!"
"I have it here!"
Next to her, Liu Weiwei was busy rummaging through her bag. This one was also a smoker.
"Stop looking, come here!"
Cheng Hao raised his head while holding a cigarette in his mouth, and raised his fingers at Li Bingbing.
"Ah?...Oh!"
Li Bingbing was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing. He leaned over and lowered his head. The white cigarette rod in his mouth and the brown tobacco shreds were aimed at the red sparks. They were dyed layer by layer, bit by bit, flickering.
dark.
"It's on fire!"
She took a few deep breaths and saw a wisp of mist rising from between the two of them. They looked at each other and smiled.
Liu Weiwei on the side looked at this and that. She couldn't understand it, but couldn't explain it. In short, it was weird.
I was about to finish smoking a cigarette when I heard the assistant director calling over there: "Teacher Cheng, Teacher Bingbing, are you okay?"
"alright!"
The two female generals responded in unison, threw their clothes to their assistants, and went into battle in high spirits.
"Do you really think you can go out in two days?"
"That's right! I guess I know who the ghost is!"
"..."
"The clothes are untied."
"On the left side, I'll help you fix it."
"Such a big hole...do you have any needle and thread?"
"There should be...there really is!"
"Take it off."
Li Bingbing unbuttoned her cheongsam, revealing the black suspender silk nightgown underneath and the old-fashioned white omen belt on her shoulders.
"I'll help you!"
Cheng Hao squatted on the ground and helped her unbutton her hem.
Just like when they were lighting cigarettes just now, one lowered his head and the other raised his head, their eyes met, and they smiled at each other. One smiled brightly, and the other smiled dotingly.
Li Bingbing subconsciously reached out and touched Cheng Hao's face.
Cheng Hao took advantage of the situation and pressed her cold palm against hers, stroking it gently.
"Card!"
"good, very good!"
Xu Ke clapped his hands excitedly and stood up, gesturing his thumbs to the two heroines repeatedly.
"Get ready for the next shot."
In good condition, keep up the good work.
Xu Ke quickly asked the staff to prepare the next shot, light, and adjust the camera position as soon as possible.
Liu Weiwei, who was watching from the sidelines, became even more confused. She felt weirder and weirder, and it even gave her goosebumps. She couldn't help but pull the sleeve of the old man next to her, and wondered: "What do they mean?"
The script was written by Lao Gao. Originally, the outline given to him by He Xin had this aspect in mind, but it was very subtle. He was not good at this, and the script copied the same thing, but after Xu Ke took over, he carried forward this aspect.
.
Although Liu Weiwei was also an actor in the crew, the script she received was only about the part about the female assassin, so she couldn't understand it.
"Well……"
Lao Gao was a little embarrassed to say it, so he had to say: "You continue to read down. If you don't understand, I will explain it to you in detail when I get back."
The on-site lighting was rearranged and the camera position was adjusted in place.
"A!"
Li Bailian put on a yellow coat and sat on the sofa: "Didn't you tell me that your mother has always wanted to train you to be a lady?"
"yes!"
"This is the first time I've seen you become a female celebrity (gong)!"
Li Bailian did not pronounce the lines wrong this time. During the script reading, Teacher He seriously pointed out the mistake.
Li Bailian leaned lazily on the back of the sofa. Cheng Hao was fiddling with needlework in his hands, looking at her with squinting eyes, and moved closer to her: "Sister Yu, I don't know why I just see you being so kissable, especially today!"
Li Bailian was moved. The hand that was playing with the buttons of her cheongsam reached out to grab Cheng Hao's hand. She raised her head again, her big bright eyes turning red.
"What's wrong?"
Li Bailian's lips trembled and she leaned forward. Cheng Hao opened her arms and pulled her into his arms.
"Liu Linzong has not been seen for several days..."
