Chapter 637 I Don’t Want to Become the Emperor and Second Young Master Wei
The three crews were praising each other commercially, without any gunpowder smell of box office competition at the same time, which is relatively rare in the industry.
In other words, scolding each other is a kind of exposure, and praising each other is not inferior if done well.
Because everyone is tired of fighting, such performance not only attracted a lot of attention, but also attracted everyone's praise.
However, the three parties praised each other and threw "Sky Hunter" of the same period aside.
As the saying goes, whoever is missing will be embarrassed.
Among the several movies released during the National Day, apart from a completely minor role, "Sky Hunter" flopped, but it was not without any pictures. At least the investment cost and the cast were impressive.
It can be said that the big black bull is still quite resilient.
Even though the single-day box office of "Sky Hunter" has fallen below 10 million, he did not lie down and rot. He tried to gain exposure and get more box office.
So, he also began to flatter Wei Yang, Cheng Long, Wang Pangzi and the three movies.
He hopes to connect with the three crews and join this small circle of praise group to gain some exposure.
However, his thoughts are like flirting with a blind man.
Boss Wei is quite particular about his work, and he always likes win-win cooperation. He is willing to support the weak or new directors without hurting his own interests.
If "Sky Hunter" changes another starring actor + director today, he will lick Boss Wei.
Wei Yang doesn't say to pull him into the praise group, at least someone will help praise and shout a few words to give some exposure.
But there is a gap between Da Hei Niu and Boss Wei, so it's over. Although Boss Wei is willing to help, he is also very petty.
He is in a good mood if he doesn't mess with you or play dirty tricks. You can only expect him to help you unless the sun rises from the west.
Boss Wei ignores Da Hei Niu, and Fatty Wang and Cheng Long ignore him even more.
Don't think that they are amiable and easy to talk to in front of Boss Wei, that's because Boss Wei is awesome, they are all big guys of the same level, and even Boss Wei is even stronger, so when they praise each other in business, everyone will have face.
But Da Hei Niu can't rank in front of the two.
The entertainment industry is very realistic, especially for old hands. Da Hei Niu is not in the same circle as them, and he is not doing well. The box office of "Sky Hunter" made Cheng Long and Fatty Wang despise him.
No friendship, no prospects, no achievements, no status.
What level? You are not worthy of playing with us!
It would be better if Da Hei Niu didn't praise him, because no one would remember him. After praising him, no one paid attention, which made him more embarrassed and even laughed at by many netizens.
Some netizens gave him bad advice, asking him not to praise, but to scold Wei, Cheng, and Wang, which would definitely get exposure and popularity.
Black and red are also red!
From a certain perspective, this idea is not without merit. If Big Black Bull really starts to curse, there will definitely be a large group of people watching. I can't say how much the box office will be increased, but the popularity is definitely great.
But he has basically cut himself off from the entertainment industry!
Boss Wei originally had some grudges with him. This time he is asking for trouble. If Boss Wei doesn't deal with him, who in the entire entertainment industry will take the Blue Whale system seriously in the future.
The same is true for Fatty Wang and Cheng Long. They are both well-known big men. They really think they don't care about face.
Fatty Wang is actually okay. His own connections are mainly in the Hong Kong circle, and he also has some channels in the mainland, but he may not be able to really ban Big Black Bull.
Cheng Long is different. In terms of financial resources and status, he may not be as good as Boss Wei now, but in terms of influence and connections, Boss Wei dare not say that he can compare with him.
He developed in the mainland 20 years ago, and his influence spread all over the world. He has cooperation and connections with several capitals and leaders in the circle, and he also has a lot of connections outside the circle.
If he really fights with Da Hei Niu, he can make the other party feel like he is in heaven and death, and add a boss Wei who is only strong but not weak, hehe~
Da Hei Niu wants to create some heat, but he doesn't want to quit the entertainment industry yet...
...
"Sky Hunter" and Da Hei Niu's one-man show did not affect the overall situation of the National Day.
Although the three movies "Dying to Survive", "Chasing the Dragon" and "The Foreigner" are commercially praised, they are actually not at the same level at all.
The box office of "Chasing the Dragon" and "The Foreigner" combined is not even half of "Dying to Survive".
The most frustrating thing is that not only did they fail miserably at the box office, but they were also defeated in terms of word of mouth.
To be honest, "Chasing the Dragon" and "The Foreigner" can be said to be good movies, and they are also one of the best movies of Wang Pangzi and Cheng Long in recent years.
"The Foreigner" is one of Cheng Long's rare attempts at an elderly hero, and it also incorporates elements of revenge + family affection. The background also has real politics, and the style is cold and realistic, with excellent quality.
The disadvantage is that it is not like Cheng Long's style.
This should not be considered a disadvantage, but it does have an impact on the box office, and it may also be the backlash of the poor reputation of the previous films.
In comparison, Wang Pangzi's "Chasing the Dragon" is more in contrast to his reputation in recent years.
Don't look at Wang Pangzi's "The Man from Macau" in recent years, which has a strong box office, and the three films combined have a box office of more than 2 billion.
However, the first and second films can still be said to be of qualified quality, and are good comedy commercial films. It's quite fun to watch without thinking.
But the third film completely let itself go, and it's incomprehensible. It relies entirely on the capital of the first two films. The reputation is terrible, and to a certain extent, it has cut off this series that is still profitable.
Although Wang Pangzi has proved his business ability, the name of "King of Bad Movies" is getting louder and louder.
This time, Wang Pangzi made a Hong Kong-style hero film, which surprised many people.
In fact, the routine of "Chasing the Dragon" is not new.
The typical perspective of two heroes, one black and one "white", a three-part biographical narrative of rising from the bottom, the peak of life, and the end of the road, plus the love-hate relationship between the underworld brothers, and the popular patriotic elements of fighting against foreigners.
It can be said that any selling point has been filmed in the golden age of Hong Kong films, and even more than one movie has been filmed, and some have been filmed to death.
As the saying goes, routines are not afraid of being old, as long as they work. Which screenwriter and director has not let go of the tailor, but it is difficult to sew it out.
You can say that "Chasing the Dragon" is "borrowing" everywhere, but from another perspective, it is also the epitome of Hong Kong films.
The success of "Chasing the Dragon" is not in its novel plot or how exciting it is, but it makes the audience feel the authentic old-school Hong Kong film taste that is rare in recent years.
Therefore, the biggest selling point of "Chasing the Dragon" is actually nostalgia, which makes everyone miss the "jianghu memory" brought by countless Hong Kong movies.
Wang Pangzi is definitely a real talent. The biggest success of "Chasing the Dragon" is not word of mouth and box office, but finding a new job for countless Hong Kong filmmakers.
Make an old-school jianghu movie!
So, the four detectives and Kowloon Walled City, which have been abandoned by Hong Kong people themselves, suddenly became "new totems", and I don't know how many Hong Kong filmmakers who went north were supported.
Not to mention the film industry, even online literature has also shared a piece of the pie. The young and dangerous people killed by the protagonists of Hong Kong variety shows can fill the sea near Hong Kong...
It can be said that "Chasing the Dragon" is a word-of-mouth turnaround for Wang Pangzi, but he was unlucky in this life and met Wei Yang's "Dying to Survive".
"Chasing the Dragon" and "Fortune" are excellent, but they are not good enough compared to "Dying to Survive".
In fact, after the release of this movie, what caused widespread discussion was not the hot box office performance, but the story of the movie itself and its practical significance.
Boss Wei’s image on Zhihu is actually quite negative.
Capitalist + scumbag, and also has the halo of a genius, these labels are despised and despised by the so-called "high-knowledge user group" from all walks of life.
Zhihu claims to be "independent thinking", and its fan circle attributes are relatively rare among many active platforms, so for many works, there are fewer praises and more criticisms.
Every time Boss Wei's new work is released, no matter how good the reputation is on other platforms, when it is put on Zhihu, although there are many people supporting it, there are also quite a few people who find fault with it.
"Dying to Survive" is one of the very few works of Boss Wei on Zhihu where the positive voice is greater than the negative, and it is far greater, and the evaluation is extremely high.
Radical views even think that "Dying to Survive" is an important turning point in the history of domestic films.
It has set an example for domestic bad films. The sensitive themes selected in the film, the social problems exposed by satire, and the social awakening significance it has are milestone-like in the current film market.
This is the depth of thought that domestic films have not had in recent decades!
It is neither holding high the banner of patriotism to increase the demographic dividend (Wolf Warrior 2), nor pretending to be crazy and stupid to please the public (Detective Chinatown), nor showing off the literary tone and pretending to be sad (Time Travel Together), but it is truly looking at the problem from the perspective of the general public, reflecting the suffering and voice of the grassroots people.
Wei Yang has not forgotten his origins, and he can write and shoot such a thoughtful movie, which is gratifying.
That's right, this group of Zhihu writers rarely praise Boss Wei, and there are also some private goods that scold him.
"Dying to Survive" also set the highest Douban score for Boss Wei's personal movies - 9.2 points.
Wei Yang still has a few TV series with more than 9 points, but this is the first time for a movie, and he has a lot of feelings.
In addition to the discussion of the plot and the meaning behind the movie, many creators have also been praised for the movie.
The one who is praised the most is naturally Boss Wei!
In fact, in the past two years, his acting skills have been repeatedly recognized and affirmed because of his performance in works such as "Wushuang", "Langya Bang" and "White Night Chase".
But this time, "Dying to Survive" still makes everyone's evaluation of him even higher.
To describe it with a highly praised comment on Douban, that is - [He made me forget that he is a star and a rich man].
It has been said many times before that Boss Wei's acting skills are not a big problem now. The key is that his personal attributes are too strong, and it is difficult for people to ignore his identity and substitute him into the role.
Cheng Yong in "Dying to Survive" was shaped and worked hard by Boss Wei in many aspects, such as weight gain, ugly appearance, character experience, plot environment contrast, cooperation with opponent actors, and his increasingly superb acting skills, trying his best to remove his personal label, so that the audience will forget Wei Yang and remember Cheng Yong.
In terms of acting skills, "Dying to Survive" is not necessarily the best role he has played.
But in terms of character creation, it is definitely the role that he has put the most effort into and is best separated from the individual.
Even when playing Lu Xinghe, Zhang Wansen, and Professor Gu before becoming famous, Wei Yang did not have such a grand star aura at that time.
But in fact, when performing these roles, he consciously or unconsciously had his own shadow. Looking back carefully, there is still more or less the flavor of Wei Yang.
And this time in "Dying to Survive", Wei Yang extremely downplayed his personal side, and the role of Cheng Yong itself was more important than anything else.
Whether it was the greasy arrogance in the early stage or the dedication to "becoming a god" in the later stage, Wei Yang successfully made most of the audience put aside their concern for who the actors were, and focus on the plot and characters, and follow their joys and sorrows.
Boss Wei's teacher Long Futong from Shanghai Theatre Academy called Wei Yang for the first time to talk about acting. They talked for half an hour, and two sentences left the deepest impression on Wei Yang.
"Your acting has become popular."
"Prepare a glass cabinet, this time you will get a lot of Best Actor trophies."
Wei Yang had been thinking about making a word-of-mouth movie, proving his acting skills, and winning a few Best Actor trophies, but after the filming, he saw countless people praising him, and his thoughts faded a lot.
Sometimes it's like this, the more you can't get something, the more you want it, but when you already have it or it's within your reach, you will find that it's just that.
Does Boss Wei really need those two Best Actor trophies?
Other artists can still get some benefits from this. He is the top of the entertainment industry and doesn't need to fight for resources, but is a resource distributor.
Even if he won the three gold medals and the Oscar for Best Actor, it was just an honorary title for Boss Wei.
"I don't want to be crowned as the best actor, I just want a peaceful life!"
After returning to Shanghai, Boss Wei lightly changed two lines of poetry, showing a leisurely attitude of not wanting to be famous and only wanting to live a peaceful life, which made Zhao Liying next to him roll her eyes.
She knew this dog man too well. Now he is saying nice things, but when he was called an idol and failed in the nomination, I don't know who was dissatisfied at home.
Just wait and see, if he really gets a few best actor trophies, it's fine, otherwise he will definitely jump up and curse...
In addition to Boss Wei, several actors such as Zhang Ze, Zhang Yu, and Tan Zhuo also became popular.
Zhang Ze, who is already famous, can be said to be the second largest beneficiary after Boss Wei.
In the eyes of various film critics and audiences, the performance of Lv Shouyi played by him is not inferior to that of Cheng Yong played by Boss Wei, and even because his death is cruel and regrettable, it is even more memorable.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Boss Wei has booked the favorites for the best actor in all major film awards, then he is the biggest favorite for the best supporting actor.
In addition, he just won the Magnolia Best Actor Award a few months ago, and his momentum is very high. Several film crews have sent invitations, including some famous directors and big productions.
In comparison, Zhang Yu and his team are much less popular, but they are much better than before.
The two of them even called Boss Wei privately to thank him. Without him, they would never be where they are today.
In mid-October, the box office of "Dying to Survive" exceeded 2 billion yuan, and due to the fermentation of word of mouth, the momentum is still there.
Zhao Liying, who was not due to give birth yet, may have relaxed because of Boss Wei's return, and gave birth early on October 12, four days earlier than his mother's birthday.
The full name is Wei Qin, and the nickname is Ramen
[Qin] was chosen by Zhao Liying. She felt that the fact that Wei Yang and she could get to where they are today was inseparable from the word [Qin]. She hoped that the child would not be a lazy and greedy person. It can be seen that she did not push the child with words, but she still had expectations for the child in her heart.
As for the nickname, it was also given by Zhao Liying, because when the two met for the first time, Wei Yang treated her to a bowl of ramen.
When she was pregnant, she wanted to eat ramen once, and Wei Yang tried to please her by running to the store to buy her a bowl. Then Zhao Liying decided on this nickname. Wei Yang was a little disgusted, but he could not fight her.
Anyway, if the son wants to blame in the future, he will blame his mother, not him...
