Chapter 495: Beauty chasing after you? That’s awesome!
Some netizens even gossiped about Zhang Baizhi:
"Bai Zhi performed extraordinary. Is this the nourishing power of love?"
"I have to say that Du Sheng's BUFF when he brings women into the drama is really strong and invincible."
"The blind girl she created is indeed good, with both feminine tenderness and heroic spirit.
It also interprets the inner world of the character vividly, which is completely different from the previous image. ”
As the film's reputation grows, related topics continue to dominate the charts on major social platforms.
Whether it's highlights of the movie, behind-the-scenes footage of the actors or interview videos with director Zhang Yimou, they have all become content that netizens are eager to repost.
Many people began to post movie ticket stubs on their blogs with the words "worth seeing" or share photos of themselves watching the movie in the theater.
Some fans have even created detailed viewing guides to help other viewers better understand and appreciate the details in the movie.
A netizen named "Light and Shadow Dream Chaser" shared his movie-watching experience:
"There is a scene in the movie where Du Sheng and Liu Dehua duel in the bamboo forest. The tense atmosphere made me so excited!
At that moment, I felt like I was really in a world full of dangers. ”
Another netizen named "Jianghu Children" said:
"What moved me most was the role played by Zhang Baizhi. Her sacrifice in the film allowed people to see the most glorious side of human nature.
This is not only a martial arts movie, but also a work that explores human nature..."
As the influence of the movie continues to expand, related peripheral products have also begun to sell well.
Movie soundtracks, posters, T-shirts and other products have become hot-sellers on major e-commerce platforms.
Many fans purchase these memorabilia as a souvenir of their favorite movies.
In such an atmosphere, "House of Flying Daggers" not only won the love of the audience, but also became a highlight of the Chinese film market in recent years.
As word of mouth continues to ferment, the box office is finally released.
The box office on the first day was 18.8 million yuan!
It exceeded the 13.5 million first-day result of Zhang Yimou's first martial arts blockbuster "Hero".
The box office in the first week was 86.23 million.
In just half a month, "House of Flying Daggers" grossed 158.3 million yuan at the domestic box office (excluding Hong Kong).
The reputation remains at 8.1, which is considered excellent.
Following this trend, it should only be a matter of time before "Heroes" breaks the box office record of 250 million.
Although it has not yet been released in North America, the global overseas box office has soared to 110 million RMB.
By the end, doubling these numbers should be no problem.
After finishing my last promotional run that day, I returned to Zhejiang Province from the mountain city.
Du Sheng met Chang Jing at the company.
After this period of preparation, the crew of "Wulin Gaiden" has been formed.
All staff including costumes, makeup, props, photography, lighting, etc. are already in place, and we are just waiting for instructions from Star Media to officially start filming.
The main members of the crew have also been confirmed.
Producer Zhong Zhen, director Chang Jing, screenwriter Ning Caishen.
The main actors include: Yan Ni plays Tong Xiangyu, Jia Chengwen plays Guo Furong, Tong David plays Bai Zhantang, Jiang Xin plays Zhu Wushuang, etc.
Ning Caishen, who had been waiting and planning for many years, was so excited that he stayed up all night when he learned that the filming was about to start.
"Mr. Du, as long as you give the order, filming can start next week."
Chang Jing's words revealed excitement and gratitude.
After all, Du Sheng not only invested 8 million yuan, but also gave him full creative freedom.
"Okay, the power-on ceremony will be scheduled for the day after tomorrow.
The location was chosen in Beijing, and then you went to Feilong Film and Television Base for filming. ”
Du Sheng had already talked with Zhong Zhen, thought about it and said:
"The conditions may be difficult. You need to polish and rehearse first. I won't put too much pressure on you."
The person in front of me still has some ability.
In 2001, "Plateau Like a Dream" co-directed with other directors won the Huabiao Award for Best Film;
In 2002, he became one of the pioneers of military life sitcoms with the series "Story of the Cooking Class".
These experiences laid a solid foundation for him in the field of comedy, and his directing skills were also recognized.
Chang Jing took the tea brought by his assistant and said with a smile:
“There’s no way filming isn’t hard work. It’s great to have a movie to shoot now.
It should take half a year. Although there is no guarantee of the annual ratings championship, it should be no problem to enter the top ten. ”
Chang Jing felt uneasy when he heard that Du Sheng was full of confidence in this drama and even thought that it might win the annual championship.
But since the other party attaches so much importance to it and personally appointed him to direct, there is no need to worry about funding and broadcast channels.
So he relaxed and decided to concentrate on filming the show first.
"That's it, we'll have a power-on ceremony then..."
Du Sheng nodded slightly and discussed a few words about the situation.
In the previous life of "Wulin Gaiden", there were no ready-made scenes such as inns and courtyards for the crew to build a costume melodrama, and there was no dedicated studio, so they had to choose a dilapidated hilltop in Pinggu, a relatively remote capital city, to build the foundation.
Hundreds of people on the crew worked in a studio with difficult conditions for nearly a year to complete the show.
But the hard work was worth it, as it won the annual ratings championship as soon as it aired.
Since the investors and producers have changed here, many of them are much better off.
Still, even excluding production costs, the show is sure to make a lot of money.
However, Chang Jing and Ning Caishen may have to become migrant workers.
Because if the series is a hit, the media may attribute the credit to Du Sheng.
After all, it was his and Jia Qingwen's popularity and single-handed promotion that made this drama attract much attention before filming.
Although the media and critics will also praise Ning Caishen, they will certainly not praise her like in her previous life.
Ning Caishen might not care about this.
He is currently penniless, but Du Sheng is willing to invest 8 million yuan, which he is grateful for.
Where do you think so much?
At the opening ceremony the next day, Du Sheng personally stood on the stage to support, and then led the team to entertain him with delicious food and drinks.
It lasted until early morning.
After he sent several of the 'Fan Ye' who were interested in placing advertisements in the play to the hotel, he returned to his residence with Jia Chengwen, who came to pick him up specially.
Back at the villa, Jia Qingwen was busy preparing bath supplies for him and helping him wash clothes.
This made Du Sheng feel warm and at home.
In order to repay her, I will practice with all my strength tonight so that she can fully feel the feeling of 'love'.
In particular, she was taught the power of the Crane Fist and made her soar into the sky.
It wasn't until two o'clock in the night that the two fell asleep hugging each other.
The next morning, Jia Chengwen tentatively asked Li Yixin if she was his real girlfriend.
Because some time ago, Li Yixin and Song Hye Kyo attended the premiere of "House of Flying Daggers" in a very high-profile manner, and even posted a brilliant photo with Du Sheng.
The dignified three-star little princess, thank you.
Let her, Gao Yuanyuan and others be as big as Li Shanda!
Du Sheng listened and did not respond directly.
He put down his chopsticks, picked up a bottle of Pearl River beer, took a sip, and said with a smile:
"You also know that there are many women around me..."
Jia Chengwen lowered her eyes and flashed with joy:
"So you haven't announced it before?"
"Of course, you also know that as artists, we often have no control over ourselves."
Du Sheng expressed his thoughts frankly:
"And it's too early for me to settle down, get married and have children."
Jia Chengwen's heart settled down, she hugged his shoulders affectionately and said with a smile:
"I knew it was too early for an artist to talk about marriage at this age.
Now I just hope to be your girlfriend, I don't care how many confidantes you have. ”
In fact, Gao Yuanyuan had the same idea, asking Du Sheng not to hang himself on the Samsung tree.
We must maintain our enterprising spirit, communicate more, and experience various aspects of life.
"...Uh, wouldn't you mind?"
This unexpected request surprised Du Sheng.
In her previous life, this girl hated marrying, especially to rich families.
It can only be said that this girl is a bit determined to retreat in order to advance.
Or it was affected by several special skills.
However, his current situation is indeed not suitable for being bound by emotions.
Jia Chengwen buried her head in his arms, her eyes full of narrowing:
"I don't mind, just like when I saw Tong Liya shyly throwing herself into your arms that day, I didn't say anything...as long as you are nice to me."
Faced with such coquettishness, what else could Du Sheng say, and he picked her up with a smile:
"When have I not been nice to you? But your mother's side..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jia Chengwen answered first:
"It's okay, she has a son, she won't rush me!"
She did hate getting married in the past, but regardless of whether she could find the right one, she would be a canary if she married into a rich and powerful family.
In addition, now that she has such an excellent partner as Du Sheng, she would be stupid to find someone else.
Not to mention, the happiness Du Sheng brought her was unique to others!
"That's good. Except that it's not appropriate to announce it to the outside world, I will treat you like a girlfriend.
As for things like status, can we talk about it later? ”
Du Sheng also said these words to Zhang Baizhi, Gao Yuanyuan, Fan Bingbing, Liu Tao and other girls.
This is also sincere, there is no need to be deceitful.
After all, with his abilities and what he got from the lottery, his abilities will only get stronger and stronger. Maybe he will directly expand his territory abroad and become a prince or general in the future.
Will women want any status at that time?
Jia Chengwen's eyes were shining with tears. She really wanted to cry to death.
Because Du Sheng was so gentle, he comforted her on the sofa and helped her practice martial arts. After a while, Zheng Wen stopped being moved and started to hum and coyly, completely forgetting what happened just now.
Du Sheng remembered that she had to join the team tomorrow and she had many things to be busy with, so she gave some brief and thoughtful guidance and left.
Liu Weiqiang called yesterday.
"Initial D" preparations are complete and filming is about to begin.
Let's gather at Neonjing tomorrow.
As for the script, Du Sheng had already obtained it when he was promoting "House of Flying Daggers" in Hong Kong half a month ago.
The film is adapted from the Neon comic of the same name.
The general story tells the story of Fujiwara Takumi, who drives an AE86 Toyota car and sells tofu, and how he transforms into a racing driver after being tricked by his youthful girlfriend Natsuki.
Du Sheng plays such a high school student.
He usually helps his father run a tofu shop and drives the AE86 to transport tofu to the top of the mountain every early morning. Due to the twists and turns of the road, he unknowingly developed superb driving skills.
Later, he accidentally got involved in an illegal street racing competition, which started the story of his meteoric rise.
This drama starred Zhou Jielun in his previous life, and it can be regarded as his proud work.
Although from the perspective of film quality, the completion level of "Initial D" is not top-notch.
Even though the film, in addition to racing scenes, also incorporates emotions and friendships between characters to increase the layering of the plot, these elements are not fully displayed.
However, thanks to the support of comic book lovers, coupled with Zhou Jielun's coolness, Mr. Chen's appearance is at the peak of his ability, so that this film will not appear obtrusive.
The slightly middle-school-style plot, paired with the theme song "All the Way North" sung by Jay Chou, created a strong appeal.
The story of AE86 and Akina Yamaha, even after more than ten years, is still a topic that people talk about.
"It has a long history. This is the source of reputation value."
Du Sheng put away the script, which is why he fell in love with this drama.
What's more, there are many unique skills in it.
For example, extreme corner entry, double-track cornering, simultaneous drifting of two cars, apex corner entry, etc.
Although he has "Driving Proficiency", he cannot achieve this level of professionalism.
Not to mention, racing is also a high-end event.
Top F1 drivers such as Lewis and Alonso start with annual incomes of tens of millions of dollars.
It also includes looking cool, picking up girls, and entertainment, and is very popular among young people and celebrities.
Ling Zhiying is one of the representatives.
But speaking of which, this type of movie doesn’t require complex logic.
It doesn’t require much acting skills either.
As long as it is cool enough and impressive enough to impress people, you will be successful.
Jay Chou's much criticized acting skills in his previous life also helped "Initial D" hit a box office of 63 million in the Mainland.
Xiangjiang also earned 37 million Hong Kong dollars and became the box office champion of the year.
If revenue from other overseas markets is included, this number will more than double.
Now that Du Sheng is playing the role, his overall popularity in Asia is even more prominent, and I believe he will be a lot better in all aspects.
It is planned to shoot in Dongjing tomorrow, which will take about a few weeks, and then return to Hong Kong to continue shooting.
The entire film is expected to be shot in about one and a half months.
If Du Sheng's role goes well, it is expected to complete filming and return to the mainland in late August.
"Sir Zhuang, I have arrived. Are you nearby?"
As soon as he left the airport, he called Zhuang Wenqiang.
Soon, Zhuang Wenqiang appeared in front of him with Wu Yanzu and Yu Wenle.
"A Sheng, long time no see."
Yu Wenle hugged him after getting off the car, and then introduced Wu Yanzu behind him:
"This is Wu Yanzu, he will play your friend Ryosuke Takahashi."
This role was played by Teacher Wanxi in the original version.
Recently, Chen Wanxi was involved in a fight and was involved in a lawsuit. She was in a bad mood and had no time to concentrate on filming.
In addition, Liu Weiqiang was unwilling to cooperate with him, so Wu Yanzu took over the role.
In this way, the combination of three handsome men in the entire film is enough to attract the attention of a large number of fans.
"Hello A Sheng, I'm glad we can work together this time."
Wu Yanzu saw the hot Du Sheng and took the initiative to shake hands.
"Hello, it's an honor to meet you."
Du Sheng responded politely.
Zhuang Wenqiang hugged him and smiled:
"Asheng is a busy person. It's rare that we come to Neon together this time. We have to experience the local culture."
Zhuang Wenqiang, the arrogant big brother, is obviously a master of fun, and he goes straight to the topic as soon as he opens his mouth.
"Haha, I know there is a very unique place. Let's take Asheng to experience it."
Wu Yanzu is also a big gamer and said with a smile.
Seeing the mysterious expressions of the two people, Du Sheng knew that this "distinctive" place might not be that simple.
Although he wanted to see it, considering the presence of his assistant Cui Yayi, he decided to place it first.
"I'll send the assistant to the hotel first."
Some time ago, that guy Wang Yaoyang unknowingly got in touch with Fan Bingbing's assistant Zhang Siman.
We've been getting tired of being together from time to time lately, and we can stay on the phone until the early hours of the morning.
Du Sheng didn't want to see him being a jerk, so he simply asked another assistant to take over.
Anyway, this time I came here to focus on filming, not much heavy work.
Yu Wenle nodded and acted as the driver:
"No problem, it's not far from the cave."
Wu Yanzu took the initiative to give up his co-pilot position to Du Sheng.
But considering that it was inconvenient for Cui Yayi to sit in the back seat alone, Du Sheng let Yayi sit in the passenger seat.
Several grown men crowded into the back seat of AE86, which was indeed a bit crowded.
Zhuang Wenqiang was caught in the middle and could hardly move, so he had to bend his body and hug his legs.
He looked like a child who had been wronged, and those who didn't know it thought he was being raped.
The drive from the airport to the hotel where the crew was temporarily stationed was less than thirty minutes.
After arriving at the hotel, Cui Yayi checked in with the help of the crew.
"Yayi, if you want to experience the local customs of Neon, you can go shopping with the girls on the crew without waiting for me to come back."
Du Sheng thought of the girl's excitement when she came and gave her a few words before leaving.
Cui Yayi nodded excitedly:
"Well, I understand. Brother Sheng, please also pay attention to your safety."
After the car drove away, several men began to talk casually.
Especially Yu Wenle, who has all kinds of dirty jokes at his fingertips.
As a scholar, Zhuang Wenqiang was not far behind.
Only Du Sheng and Wu Yanzu were relatively restrained.
"A Sheng, your little assistant looks pretty good. Where is he from?"
Yu Wenle suddenly said something, a bit envious.
Du Sheng knew that this boy was more playful, so he said casually:
"Hangcheng native, student of Foreign Languages University."
Wu Yanzu was surprised and said:
"Double first-class foreign language university? It seems that the academic qualifications are very high."
Zhuang Wenqiang laughed and said:
"The one with the highest academic qualifications among the four of us is Du Sheng. He is the top pick at Nortel."
Yu Wenle sighed while driving:
"I didn't study hard at first and just wandered around in society, otherwise I would have wanted to go to university."
Wu Yanzu said with a smile:
"Well, I do have a college degree, but architecture..."
The combined academic qualifications of several people are not as good as Cui Yayi alone.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Du Sheng smiled and said:
"Artists don't pay much attention to their academic qualifications. Didn't you say before that you should be able to wash away the dust?"
The topic was unknowingly diverted by him and he began to discuss the characteristics of neon.
Zhuang Wenqiang's face turned playful, he was obviously a Luoski:
"There are three good places to go. One is Kyokyo Shinjuku, one of the largest entertainment areas in neon,
There are a large number of Kabukicho, cinemas, arcades, clubs, etc.
The second is the port area where rich people gather in Dengjing, where high-end restaurants and hotels are gathered, as well as many high-end entertainment venues.
The third is Roppongi, a relatively high-end club with advanced equipment and a great atmosphere. Michael Jackson, Ayumi Hamasaki, etc. have all been there, so it’s guaranteed to be a fun and unforgettable experience! ”
Wu Yanzu smiled and said:
"Then Roppongi is great. I've been there and the atmosphere is really good."
Yu Wenle glanced at him through the rearview mirror:
"When did it happen that we were not friends enough?"
Wu Yanzu also seemed to be professional and said:
"Just a few months ago, I brought my daughter over for a trip and took a look around."
Yu Wenle became interested and said:
"It seems that the happiness of the brothers tonight depends on Zhuang Sir and Brother Wu."
Zhuang Wenqiang didn't know what he was thinking of, and it seemed a bit playful:
"It's okay to taste the delicious food, but I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it if you open your eyes..."
