With the arrival of March, this means that the Spring Festival period is coming to an end, and the box office of movies released during the Spring Festival period such as "The Great Wall", "Journey to the West - Part 3", "Kung Fu Panda", etc. have also been announced one after another.

It has to be said that the consumption power of the domestic film market is still very scary.

Even though the movie "Mermaid" alone took over 40% of the total box office during the Spring Festival, there were still three movies that grossed over 1 billion in box office.

Logically speaking, winning a box office of one billion should be something worth celebrating, but until the Spring Festival has passed, it is difficult to find news online about other film crews celebrating the one billion box office.

It's not that the crews of these movies didn't celebrate, but the results of the movie "Mermaid" were really explosive. While other movies were still striving for a box office of one billion or two billion, "Mermaid" was released for a total of 47

Day, it made a total of 3.4 billion in domestic box office!

With this amazing result, the box office of other movies exceeded 1 billion, which is not something worthy of attention at all. So much so that the Internet is full of news about "Mermaid" winning the box office championship during the Spring Festival.

Just after the total box office results of the movie "Mermaid" were released, Lin Yuan suddenly surpassed strong competitors such as Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang, with a cumulative box office of 8.16 billion yuan, and became the actor with the highest cumulative box office in China.

Lin Yuan had just finished filming today's scene. He was following the props team and talking about things to pay attention to during the set of tomorrow's two scenes. As he was talking, the phone in his pocket started vibrating.

Originally, Lin Yuan was not going to answer the phone, but after seeing the word "Deng Chao" on the caller ID, he stopped talking to the staff of the props team and answered the phone.

"Hey, Brother Chao, why did you think of calling me?" Lin Yuan took the lead in saying hello and asked Deng Chao why he was calling.

Then I heard Deng Chao's joyful voice coming from the other end of the phone: "Are you still pretending to be like me? You are the number one actor in the country in terms of cumulative box office. You can do it. Another starring movie will be released soon."

It has won tens of billions at the box office!”

After hearing this, Lin Yuan was still a little puzzled: "The cumulative box office in China ranks first? Isn't that Brother Bo?"

He has been busy with the crew these days. He only went online to help promote the upcoming "In the Name of the People". He really doesn't have time to pay attention to the cumulative box office rankings of domestic actors.

However, this is understandable. The total box office of "Mermaid" was announced last night, and the cumulative box office ranking of domestic actors was updated after the box office of "Mermaid" was announced, which was only updated in the early hours of this morning. Lin Yuan got up in the morning

After that, I was busy worrying about the crew's affairs, and I didn't have time to surf the Internet or browse Weibo.

Deng Chao smiled and joked: "Now there is only Brother Yuan, there is no Brother Bo."

"No, Brother Chao, please stop making fun of me." Lin Yuan quickly said modestly.

The entertainment industry is a place where seniority is very serious, and as the literal meaning of the word means, seniority must be ranked before seniority. With Lin Yuan's current performance, he must have crazy capital, but Lin Yuan has no idea at all.

I have not forgotten that my ability to reach this point is inseparable from the help of Deng Chao, Huang Bo, Zou Long... these people.

"Okay, okay, I'm just going to make a phone call to congratulate you. After you finish filming your movie, we will have a good time together when we return to Shanghai."

"Sure, I'll call Brother Chao when the time comes."

Previously, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" held a launch press conference. Naturally, Deng Chao knew that Lin Yuan was filming a movie, so he called during dinner time and briefly congratulated his brother on his achievements.

He didn't say anything more.

Lin Yuan had just hung up the phone with Deng Chao. Before he could finish talking about tomorrow's set, his cell phone rang again. Other friends in the industry called him one after another, all for one thing, and that was to congratulate Lin Yuan.

The "Mermaid" starring him set a record at the box office in Chinese film history.

For example, "The Secret of the Dragon" had a box office of over 2 billion, which was still expected by everyone.

After all, both from the perspective of the cast and the adaptation of the IP masterpiece "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", it is worthy of the 2 billion box office.

What about the movie "Mermaid"? In addition to Lin Yuan, the cast also includes Luo Zhixiang, a first-line star. No matter how you look at it, the box office of this movie will be difficult to surpass Xingye's previous film "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons"

》.

However, the final result was a slap in the face. The movie "Mermaid" not only directly broke the box office record, but also raised the threshold of the box office record to 3 billion.

If nothing else goes wrong, this year's box office champion will probably be held by the movie "Mermaid" for a whole year.

In the face of such terrifying box office results, Lin Yuan's box office appeal has once again been recognized. If there were a questionnaire survey asking celebrities in the circle who the actor they most want to work with now, there is no doubt that Lin Yuan would definitely be the one.

Ranked in the top three positions!

After returning to the hotel, Lin Yuan first checked to see if there was any news in the entertainment industry today.

After browsing around Weibo, I discovered that almost half of the topics were around the movie "Mermaid". In addition, many netizens were discussing the "Ten Billion Box Office" issue.

After seeing the topic of "10 billion box office", Lin Yuan couldn't help but think about it in his mind.

His cumulative box office now has reached 8 billion, which is a full billion more than the second-placed Huang Bo. Judging from the box office results, he is indeed the most likely to be the first to win the "10 billion box office"

actor, but Huang Bo still has two movies that have not been released this year. On the other hand, Lin Yuan, "Kung Fu Yoga" has already been scheduled for next year's Spring Festival, leaving only "The Ex 3" that may be released this year.

In other words, as long as the box office of Huang Bo's two movies exceeds 3 billion, it is very likely that he will surpass Lin Yuan and be the first to win the honor of winning 10 billion box office. What's more, this year has just begun. What if any movie wins the fourth place?

With a box office of 5 billion, wouldn’t it just be a roundabout way to overtake?

He is now just one step away from tens of billions in box office. The more times like this, the more he cannot relax.

After watching the discussion about the 10 billion box office for a while, Lin Yuan also casually forwarded the Weibo update posted by the official blog of "Mermaid" today to celebrate the 3.4 billion box office breakthrough.

Not long after he forwarded it on Weibo, Sister Xia called him.

Unlike her friends in the industry, Sister Xia did not come specifically to congratulate him on such a high box office, but she had a very serious matter to discuss with Lin Yuan.

"Lin Yuan, are you not filming right now?" Sister Xia asked tentatively.

She saw Lin Yuan forwarding the news on the official blog of "Mermaid" and estimated that Lin Yuan should be free now, so she called. Normally, unless there was something urgent, she would not choose to communicate on the phone.

Lin Yuan read the script again and again and said, "No, what can I do for Sister Xia?"

Since this matter is not only closely related to her and Lin Yuan's interests, Sister Xia also explained straight to the point: "It's like this, aren't you filming the movie "The God of Medicine" now? In addition, the performance of "Mermaid" has exploded recently.

, the topic is also highly discussed. What the company is thinking is that it is better to conduct a celebrity visit. Firstly, it can warm up the movie "The God of Medicine" in advance. Secondly, while the popularity is high, it can create a few more topics to facilitate the lighting.

The media operates and publicizes..."

Visiting a class is very common in the entertainment industry.

There are two types of tours: celebrity tours and fan tours. The former is generally used to hype up scandals and attract media exposure in a short period of time; the latter seems to be a welfare for fans, but in fact it only increases fan stickiness.

a means.

Judging from Lin Yuan's current situation, with the release of the movie "Mermaid" and the fact that he is now filming on the set, his popularity on the Internet will inevitably drop suddenly as time goes by.

Only by frequently appearing in the public eye can Lin Yuan maintain his current high popularity.

So after just thinking about it for a while, Lin Yuan agreed.

"Okay, then Sister Xia, please arrange this."

After agreeing, he didn't forget to remind me: "If you don't want to come, you have to tell me in advance so that I can be prepared then."

Lin Yuan didn't want the plot of the movie to be exposed before the movie was finished filming. He wanted to inform the crew in advance so that he could arrange some scenes that were not particularly important on the same day.

"Don't worry about this." Sister Xia assured on the other end of the phone.

...

In the next few days, the crew of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is still in the running-in stage.

Although feature films do not have grand scenes like science fiction films, nor do they have passionate fighting scenes like martial arts films, and they are not even as good as horror films in terms of atmosphere rendering, among many film types, filming of feature films is the simplest and simplest.

It can be shot with only a DV, but at the same time, feature films are also the most difficult type of film to shoot.

The difficulty of shooting feature films does not lie in special effects, plot reversals, gorgeous fighting scenes, etc., but in how to vividly present the story that the film wants to express in front of the audience.

For an excellent feature film, every fragment, and even every frame, must have its own meaning.

Although Lin Yuan's requirements for his first film are not so high, he is still trying his best to shoot better.

Some scenes may be completed in one take, and some scenes may be difficult to satisfy Lin Yuan even after one day of filming. Sometimes he will even choose to reshoot several times because of the actor's less than perfect expression. The crew of the crew is also fully committed to it.

Realized Lin Yuan's strictness.

Under such demanding filming, the entire crew's condition is getting better and better.

Time flies and March 4th comes.

Considering that today is the premiere day of "In the Name of the People", Lin Yuan directly asked the crew to get off work early after filming the scene at four o'clock in the afternoon.

After returning to the hotel and being bored, Xu Zheng asked the crew to buy some cold dishes and peanuts outside, carried the things to Lin Yuan's room, and called Ning Hao over.

Before entering the door, Xu Zheng asked: "Lin Yuan, Ning Hao and I come over to watch TV with you. There should be no problem, right?"

After the two of them walked in, Lin Yuanshun closed the door and joked: "No problem, but this gift is a bit shabby. People come to the house with gifts in big and small bags. You, a director, bring some peanut cold dishes."

, is this ridiculous?"

"Is there anything outrageous? If you look down on it, don't eat it later!" Xu Zheng put the cold dishes and peanuts on the table, sat down on the sofa, and then switched the TV channel to Mango Channel.

It can be seen from this action that Xu Zheng obviously remembered that the TV series "In the Name of the People" starring Lin Yuan premiered today.

In fact, filmmakers like them seldom watch movies.

It's not that the movie is necessarily higher quality than the TV series, it's just that they don't have time to watch the TV series.

It only takes an hour or two to watch a movie, but it takes a week or two to watch an entire TV series. More importantly, there is a big difference between the filming of movies and TV series.

There are almost no useless scenes in a good movie. Every scene is carefully designed. For example: different lighting reflects different psychological states of the characters, concise lines without any nonsense, every composition method,

The way of moving the camera, every action, and every placed object is composed of audio-visual language. It uses vision and hearing to tell wonderful stories in a short time. Films are shot according to the image thinking mode of the human brain. There are

Too much academics.

TV dramas are different. They use scripts and lines to tell the story through actors, and often have many narrative methods. Even if the bad scenes are replaced by empty shots, the audience will not feel out of place.
