"Sister Mi, thank you for your support, hurry up and invite me inside, by the way, why did you block my WeChat?"
Yuan Hua was still pretending to be innocent over there, and next to him and Yang Mi came to attend the premiere of "The Iron Fist of Shame". glance.
After staring at Reba, Yang Mi said provocatively:
"I see you are unhappy, why? No way?"
Yuan Hua is not annoyed at all. With the rapid accumulation of his status and wealth, there are not many people who dare to laugh and curse in front of him now. It is quite interesting
However, Yang Mi was just being stubborn, and as soon as she received an invitation, didn't she rush to attend the premiere of "The Iron Fist of Shame"?
"Okay, of course. So what has Miss Mi been up to lately?"
"Filming the new film "Baby"."
Oh, it turned out to be this movie. Yuan Hua was quite impressed by this movie, because it was Yang Mi's first film in 16 years, and it was also the only literary film in his career.
? When it comes to Da Mi Mi, many people may have the impression that he is a heavily commercialized star who basically has no artistic pursuits at all, but in fact this is really biased.
Don't brag or criticize, Da Mi Mi is really an actress with artistic pursuits, at least she has done something that other traffic stars have never done-moving to literary films at her peak.
? In the 17 years of the previous life, the opening drama "Three Lives III" was so popular that Yang Mi said in an interview with the magazine:
"I want to work hard to be a people's actress."
Although this sentence became a raft for Heizi to attack her in the future, Da Mi Mi is not a person who only talks empty words, but really puts it into action.
At that time, due to the popularity of "Three Lives III", Yang Mi ushered in the second peak of his career. It can be said that Yang Mi was in the limelight at that time, and even Fan Bingbing was overwhelmed by her.
Taking advantage of the boom in his career, Yang Mi took the initiative to make a transformation attempt for the first time, and took over the filming of his first literary film "Baby". This is a low-budget documentary-style film, and she plays Jiang Meng, the heroine with serious birth defects.
This movie puts almost all of Yang Mi's ambitions in art and acting, and she really paid a lot for this movie.
She is no longer beautiful and glamorous in the movie, she uses a "disfigured" look, plain makeup is not enough, her skin has to be deliberately darkened, and then freckles are added
It's hard to imagine that Yang Mi, who has always used beauty as a weapon to attract fans, will deliberately play ugly one day, completely ignoring that this behavior may cause serious loss of fans.
The filming of "Baby" can only be described as twists and turns. The first filming took 74 days. After the filming, Yang Mi went to shoot another movie, but was told that "Baby" did not have enough material and was called back to make up. It took a month, and almost all of them were actually reshot.
Director Liu Jie was not very satisfied with the amateur who played the deaf-mute, so he replaced Li Hongqi in the third reshoot, and Yang Mi also cooperated to shoot again.
At that time, Yang Mi was very popular, and she received a lot of scripts every day, and the remuneration for literary films like "Baby" was far lower than her usual market price, and even the next two reshoots were not included in the contract. Without any complaints, I performed it three times more on the schedule, which is really the best of my benevolence.
This literary film, in which the super popular first-line actress took the initiative to break the rules, was favored by many people at the beginning, and the theaters also gave Yang Mi face. The first day of the film's film schedule reached 23%.
But soon, the movie box office and word of mouth dealt a heavy blow to Yang Mi. Word-of-mouth was unsatisfactory, and the box office curve declined rapidly. The final box office was only 24.72 million, and the Douban score was only 5.3 points.
In fact, Yang Mi's failure this time is also predictable. Even after participating in "Running Man", Deng Chao will not be able to go back, let alone Yang Mi!
Yang Mi has been overexposed a long time ago. Her image, voice, personality, etc. all have too distinctive personal imprints, which have long been deeply ingrained in the hearts of the audience. She has such a foreign appearance but she wants to play the role of an orphan in the countryside. It is already very difficult for her to act.
If you meet a very high-level director, maybe you can save it a little bit.
But the key point is that Liu Jie, the director of the film, is not a famous director himself. His last work "Hide and Seek" starred Huo Jianhua + Qin Hailu + Wan Qian, with a score of 5.4 on Douban, and the level is just that.
Yang Mi's attempt to transform this time was undoubtedly a failure, and even seriously shaken her own commercial value, and the impact on her is almost obvious
Four years before the movie was released, that is, from 2013 to 2017, Yang Mi released a total of 11 starring movies, not counting guest appearances.
??Four years after the film was released, that is, from 2018 to 21, Yang Mi only released two films in these four years, one was "Baby" and the other was "Assassination of Novelists".
"I heard that it seems to be a literary film. This should be your first time making a literary film, right?"
Yang Mi nodded: "Well, it's the first time."
"It's very tiring to shoot a literary film. Is your filming going well?"
Yang Mi sighed, but there was no need to hide it:
"Oh, it's not going well! I may have overestimated myself a bit, literary films are indeed too difficult!
Gu</span>Actually, this is already a reshoot. I left more than two months to shoot this movie, but the director said that most of the first shot was useless and had to be reshot "
Yuan Hua looked at her sympathetically: "That's really miserable"
Yang Mi seemed to have opened up the conversation box, and immediately couldn't help complaining:
"Let me tell you, when I was at my worst, I had to shoot a scene for three days. The most speechless thing is that the director didn't give me a script when I was filming, and I didn't have lines. , so many of the lines are repetitive nonsense"
"Baby" director Liu Jie's creative method this time is relatively experimental. He does not provide a script, but only tells the actors the outline, and asks the actors to write their own lines.
It is said that Liu Jie told Yang Mi that she was going to speak Nanjing dialect in the film after the filming started, so Yang Mi could only learn from the scene temporarily, and ended up learning a substandard Ma'anshan dialect.
"Why do you want to do this?"
Yang Mi spread his hands and said in a low tone: "Uh Anyway, the director explained it to me like this:
Jiang Meng is not a very smart little girl. If she has all kinds of exquisite words, and then there are progressive changes in her speech, I don't think she is suitable for this character.
When an actor gets the script, he memorizes his lines there, and then he thinks about how to deal with the lines and what emotions to use to express them. This is acting. When I don¡¯t give you the words, I just tell you what happened. Now you have to express your opinion. What she said was true. "
Yuan Hua drew a cross on his chest in a funny way, and said solemnly:
"omg, may God bless you."
This should be the so-called "I don't give you the script and lines, but sometimes it will bring the vividness of the characters."
But the problem is that this is a very demanding performance method for actors, and it is not suitable for everyone. For example, when a person is not yet proficient in riding a bicycle, how can he "get rid of it"? Isn't that hard to think about?
Yuan Hua shook his head secretly, "Baby" itself is not a particularly good script, and it is far from the image of Yang Mi himself, and with such an unreliable director, it is no wonder that the filming ended up in such a ghostly way !
According to Yuan Hua's selfish speculation, it's hard to say that Yang Mi's acceptance of the script has nothing to do with Fan Bingbing.
After all, it is almost the two of them who are competing for the position of the first female star in the mainland, and Fan Bingbing shines with "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" and won the awards including Golden Rooster Best Actress and Holy Cypriot Best Actress in one fell swoop. Several heavyweight awards.
In "I'm Not Pan Jinlian", Fan Bingbing also pretends to be an ugly woman, playing the role of a rural woman. Yang Mi somewhat means "picking up people's tooth wisdom".
It's a pity that the same people have different fates. The situation is similar, but the treatment is very different. It doesn't mean that there is really such a big gap in acting skills between the two.
To be fair, in fact, it is quite inconsistent for two people to play rural women. After all, both of them have delicate v-faces, bright facial features, and looks are second. There are also beautiful girls in the countryside. The key is temperament and traditional impression. The image of the people at the bottom of the country is very different.
However, Liu Jie's skills are still much worse than Feng Xiaogang's. "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" is a work with more traces of director than actors. After taking the Holy Shadow in a flash, naturally everything went smoothly.
What's more, most of the films in Fan Bingbing's career are literary films, such as "Apple" and "Guanyin Mountain", which made her famous. Yang Mi's situation is completely incomparable with others.
It can be said that Feng Xiaogang, the director of the film "I'm Not Pan Jinlian", helped Fan Bingbing too much. On the other hand, the director Liu Jie of "Baby" almost helped the whole process, and the two hindered each other So It is said that choice is very important!
After a few words of pleasantries, Yuan Hua habitually teased Da Mimi again:
"By the way, Miss Mi, I remember you said before that you want to buy the shares of Happy Twist in my hand? I'm going to sell it recently, are you still interested?"
Yang Mi didn't quite believe it, so he squinted at him and said:
"No way? Are you really going to sell it? What price?"
Yuan Hua said with a smile: "It's not expensive, it's only one billion!"
"Hehe", Yang Mi's eyes almost flew into the sky, and he immediately took Reba's arm:
"It's getting late, let's go in!"
Reba hurriedly followed, and even winked at Yuan Hua and waved:
"See you later, Brother Hua!"
"Well, see you later!"

"No way? Are you really going to sell it? What price?"
Yuan Hua said with a smile: "It's not expensive, it's only one billion!"
"Hehe", Yang Mi's eyes almost flew into the sky, and he immediately took Reba's arm:
"It's getting late, let's go in!"
Reba hurriedly followed, and even winked at Yuan Hua and waved:
