After chatting for a few words, Liu Tianxian suddenly lacked confidence and said:
"Hey, did I drag you down a bit? Looking back now, "So You" has a mediocre reputation, and the box office results are not too outstanding¡ª¡ª
Of course it is for you, but for me it is already very satisfying! "
In fact, since "The Mekong" sold for a billion dollars, Liu Tianxian suddenly realized a problem, that is, from Yuan Hua's perspective, he probably didn't like "So You" very much.
After all, compared with "The Mekong", which was released in the same month, "So You" is far worse in terms of box office and word-of-mouth. People who understand it will think that this is completely unworthy of Yuan Hua's vision in film selection.
The three film and television dramas that have a close relationship with Yuan Hua were all released within one month, which can basically be counted as concurrent productions.
However, "Operation Mekong" received rave reviews on Douban with 8 points, and "White Night Chasing" Douban's reputation exploded with 9 points. On the other hand, "So You" only scored 6.7, which can barely reach the passing line. The comparison seems out of place.
After so many tests, Liu Tianxian doesn't think Yuan Hua will be mistaken.
After thinking about it, Liu Tianxian thinks that the only reasonable explanation is that Yuan Hua deliberately relaxed the standards due to some other factors, and she took it for granted that Yuan Hua was for herself.
Thinking of this, she felt a little sweet, but also a little sorry. After all, if it wasn't for her, maybe Yuan Hua wouldn't even consider taking this movie.
Of the movies Yuan Hua has starred in so far, only two movies have scored below 7 points, one is the first movie "Left Ear", and the other is this "So You".
Of course, everyone can understand that the word-of-mouth of the first movie is a little bit lower. After all, he really had no choice as a rookie at that time.
Even if Yuan Hua chooses again, the premise is that no one wants him?
Let¡¯s talk about your debut work, the audience is generally quite tolerant, and it¡¯s fine if you can pass, and it won¡¯t be said that you are too demanding.
Many well-known senior acting schools also acted in some bad dramas and bad movies at the beginning of their careers. However, the audience will not think that this is a dark history, but that this is a process that must be experienced in personal growth, a kind of accumulation.
Of course, "So You" did not have this kind of "preferential treatment", so after the film was released, Yuan Hua actually received some criticism
If it weren't for "A Chinese Journey to the West 3" that is so capable of attracting hatred, I am afraid that Yuan Hua would not have retreated so easily!
Of course, this kind of criticism has not yet formed a scale and climate. With the release of "The Mekong River" half a month later, all criticisms were instantly dispelled.
Everyone was busy praising Yuan Hua for another excellent work, so naturally they couldn't care less about "So You" and continued to make irresponsible remarks.
Seeing what Liu Tianxian said, Yuan Hua could only comfort in a soft voice:
"No, you think too much! The reputation of "So You" is not very good, mainly because the script is too problematic, and it has nothing to do with you and your performance. Don't dig into the horns and ask for trouble!"
"But if it wasn't for me, you definitely wouldn't take this movie, right?"
Yuan Hua is very pleased that Liu Tianxian can realize this by himself, after all, he is not the kind of person who does good deeds without leaving his name.
"Hey, it's all in the past anyway, why are you talking about it now?"
Yuan Hua immediately changed the subject: "By the way, since you have brought up this topic, I happen to have a movie that I am planning to ask you to star in.
The script this time is much better, and the two of us can just prove ourselves. By the way, have you heard of the Asian exam cheating case in 2014? "
"Ah I haven't heard of it."
"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it. You just need to know that our movie is based on this incident. This is a movie with a heroine. I'm going to let you play the heroine Xiaolin."
Liu Tianxian hesitated for a moment: "Well, can I do it? It won't cause your company to lose money, right?"
Yuan Hua immediately encouraged her: "No problem, you can do it for sure. I specially selected the film for you, so what could be wrong?"
"Of course that's fine, I'll just follow your arrangement anyway."
"Okay, I'll ask Fang Jing to send you the script later."
The two of them scattered dog food all over the place, and Yuan Hua hung up the phone.
The movie Yuan Hua is referring to is of course "Genius Gunner", which is based on the 2014 Asian exam cheating case.
Past Life The film was produced by Thailand's gdh559 film and television company and was released in the mainland on October 13, 2017. The production cost was 60 million baht, or about 11.5 million RMB, and the domestic box office was 271 million.
To knowThis film was introduced as a batch of films. Several leading actors in this film, including the director, are quite unfamiliar to Chinese people, and they don't know any of them at all.
It's not even like "Wrestling Dad", at least the Indian national treasure actor Aamir Khan, many Chinese people have heard of this person
To put it bluntly, this is even worse than the "three noes movie"! Three no movies at least have no language barriers, and Thai movies have always been a big point of persuading drug quitters.
Normally speaking, who would want to see a Thai movie?
Even if you want to watch imported movies, the priority must be Hollywood, followed by European movies, then Indian movies, and finally Japanese, Korean
As for Thai movies, audiences will inevitably think before buying tickets, will this country make movies?
But even so, this film actually won 270 million box office by word of mouth, surpassing most domestic youth films.
As a rare high-reputation film among youth films, this film even had a rare reverse increase in ratings during its release.
Generally speaking, the Douban score will be slightly higher at the beginning of the film's release due to the control of reviews by the trolls, and then as time goes by, the number of commenters will increase, and the score will gradually decline and approach the normal value.
However, Douban scored 8.2 points for the movie, and later rose to 8.5 points as the movie hit the market. Even though it stabilized and then fell back slightly, it still remained stable at 8.2 points.
There are not many domestic youth films with a score of 6, let alone a work with a score of 8 or more, which cannot be simply summed up as "rare".
With such a high-quality script, Yuan Hua believes that if the leading actors were replaced by himself and Liu Tianxian, the box office would at least triple or quadruple, and there should be no problem at all!
The reason why Yuan Hua chose "Genius Gunner" is to justify his name on the one hand. After all, the two youth films he has starred in so far have received mediocre reputation, which will damage his "virtuous name".
In any case, I have to act in a youth film with a slightly better reputation, which can be regarded as saving my respect and proving that I can also act in youth films well.
But other than that, the more important reason is to pull Liu Tianxian. After all, she is his own woman now, who else can he expect to help her if he doesn't help her!
At present, although Liu Tianxian said that he will return to the front line in the second spring through "Zhu Xian", but it is still a bit regrettable.
After all, her record in the field of TV dramas is already brilliant enough. No matter how many popular dramas she acts in, is it possible that she can surpass Wang Yuyan, Xiaolongnv and Zhao Linger in the past?
The rest is nothing more than hoping to make some breakthroughs in movies. From her point of view, there is nothing wrong with it.
However, she moved to the big screen in the early years, and she has worked hard for so many years, and she has made a lot of films, but there is no work worth mentioning.
Although she has appeared in many works over the years, most of them have mediocre reputation, and even more than half of them are below the passing line.
Therefore, she really needs a film work that she can play the leading role and has a high reputation, but such a work is not easy to find.
There are many blockbuster movies with a male protagonist, but there are not many blockbuster movies with a female protagonist, and it is even rarer to have a good reputation!
After choosing and choosing, only this "Genius Gunner" can barely meet the requirements, the standard heroine, and the heroine Xiaolin is not too difficult for Liu Tianxian.
At least compared to major heroine movies such as "Roll Tumor" and "Hello Crazy", this movie is obviously less demanding on acting skills.
