Chapter 456 Fatty Fan: This Is About to Take Off!
Operation Mekong is a typical man's drama. Since it is a major case registered by the public security department and the higher-ups are watching closely, the screenwriter dares not make any changes, at least no emotional plots are added.
The only emotional drama in the whole movie is to explain the background story of the character Wei Yang.
His girlfriend was deceived into taking drugs and later committed suicide because of it, so this character hates drug dealers and is willing to take risks to go undercover in the Golden Triangle to remove this poisonous pus.
Apart from this, there are no other emotional elements, and there is only one female police action team member with weight.
Even this female action team member actually has some internal differences.
Normally, such extremely dangerous field work is rarely allowed to involve female police officers.
It is not boxing, and the combat effectiveness is put aside. The main concern is that if they are captured, the cruelty of drug dealers exceeds the imagination of many people.
But on the other hand, the positioning of female police officers is really not useless.
Many jobs are easier for women to carry out than men. For example, if a female suspect is caught, communication with them will be more effective, and they can also provide good cover for some investigations and tracking.
In addition, from the perspective of film business, pure male drama is still a bit dry, and a red flower dotted in a bunch of green leaves is also a good adjustment and buffer.
Therefore, after discussion and soliciting the opinions of consultants from the public security department, the crew of "Operation Mekong" still retained such a female police role.
However, there is no need for her to participate in the final decisive battle. She only plays a reconnaissance and liaison logistics personnel, and her role is not weak.
Regarding this role, Fatty Yu set his eyes on Na Zha of Blue Whale, but Wei Yang felt that she was too beautiful and did not meet the standards of female police officers in the field. He hoped to find an artist with a less eye-catching appearance and preferably a neutral one.
So later, Bona's female artist Feng Wenjuan was selected.
This person has filmed many dramas, but most of them are supporting roles, so she is not famous, and even her face is a bit unfamiliar in the eyes of many people.
The other characters are basically not much different from the original time and space. Wei Yang did not intervene much, and there was really no suitable role.
Except for the leaders headed by Chen Baoguo, the whole movie basically revolves around the villains and Wei and Zhang. Others have the opportunity to show their faces, but that's it.
So even if Wei Yang could arrange Wang Kai, Zhang Ruoyun and others to play an action team member, he still gave up.
If he had that time, he might as well play the protagonist of other dramas. Anyway, this is not a pure self-made drama, so there is no need to ask the artists to come and support it.
Now the crew is preparing to start filming, but they plan to shoot the domestic scenes first, and then move to foreign countries in late September or early October, and Wei Yang will join the crew at that time.
Before joining the crew, Wei Yang also has some other tasks, such as learning Thai, and then he wants to tan his skin, and it is best to grow a beard.
To put it bluntly, it is to make it rougher. After all, he is an undercover agent deep behind the enemy, and in a place like Southeast Asia, and a clean and white face does not fit the role.
Wei Yang has already hired a teacher to learn Thai, and he has been taking classes for at least half an hour to an hour a day recently.
After all, he does not need to be proficient, just be able to recite the lines, and before that, when filming "Detective Chinatown", he also learned Thai, more or less.
Wei Yang is still very serious about learning. In addition to filming "Operation Mekong", he also plans to film a movie in Thailand in the future, and this Thai language skill will be useful.
The other two things are even simpler. He no longer shaves every day, and then he gets some sun when he has time.
It's not even October yet, and the sun is still strong. In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't get tanned. You can make up for it later, but Boss Wei still takes it very seriously.
In fact, it's mainly an excuse to run out and be lazy, go fishing, play football, etc.
…
Wei Yang entered a short rest period, but the outside world is still turbulent.
At this time, Liu Shishi has joined the group of "Legend of Dance and Music", and the male lead is Zhang Ruoyun, who became famous not long ago with "Ancient Swordsman".
The most popular 85 flower + the new top streamer, "Legend of Dance and Music" has become popular before it is broadcast, and has become a hot reserve that many people pay attention to.
At the same time, netizens also joked that Zhang Ruoyun was lucky. She had previously been paired with Da Mimi + Rouba + Qiao Zhenyu, and now she has Liu Shishi to lead her. It's like God is chasing her to feed her.
At this stage, although Wei Yang has used various means to suppress the popularity of the midnight snack incident.
But after all, it has been on dozens of hot searches and involves three top artists. It is impossible to make it disappear in a short period of time.
It is said that after learning that Liu Shishi joined the group of "Legend of Dance and Music", the crew went to Dali, where the filming location, to interview dozens of media.
However, Liu Shishi had expected it and did not accept any interviews. "Legend of Dance and Music" was produced by Blue Whale, so she ignored it and the crew gave the green light.
It was a bargain for Zhang Ruoyun and other leading actors. They got several exclusive interviews alone.
Wei Yang was invisible, Liu Shishi was hiding in Dali to film, and only Zhao Liying shared most of the firepower of the crew and netizens.
There is no way. As mentioned earlier, she is now at the peak of her popularity and cannot waste the momentum she has accumulated with great difficulty.
Moreover, she is now starring in the movie "My Deskmate" and the Golden Eagle Awards are about to begin. All kinds of publicity and activities are centered on her, and she cannot give up.
Zhao Liying also demonstrated her extraordinary ability to withstand pressure at this time.
She has been working in an orderly manner despite the wave of public opinion from the outside world, and has hardly given the media any reason to provoke her.
It may seem like nothing special, but those who really know the business know that being able to stay out of trouble in the vortex of super popularity and national gossip requires extremely strong psychological quality and coping ability. Ordinary people would have collapsed long ago.
This made many people in the industry and the public look at her with new eyes, and felt that she really had some of the demeanor of the boss lady of Blue Whale.
People all admire the strong, and Zhao Liying's performance has won her many fans.
In other words, since "The Journey of Flower" became popular and Zhao Liying intended to fight for fame, although there was a lot of controversy, she did get the support of a considerable number of people.
One of the important reasons is that Zhao Liying is a typical inspirational person.
A rural child, not from a professional background, debuted in a talent show, her appearance is not top-notch, and she played supporting roles for several years in her early years.
In terms of the low starting point of popular stars, Wang Baoqiang is probably the only one who is better than her in recent years.
Wei Yang was a graduate of the Shanghai Theatre Academy and had never played a supporting role. Most of the other 85 flowers were also graduates of professional schools and started to play leading roles very early. The three beauties of the Fairy Sword were children of big cities, which formed a sharp contrast with Zhao Liying.
Such a background may be disliked and disdained by some people, but it will also resonate and admire more people.
There are still many ordinary people in this world!
If Wang Baoqiang rose from the grassroots, Zhao Liying's path is to turn from an ugly duckling into a white swan.
This has accumulated a considerable proportion of career fans for Zhao Liying. With the popularity of "The Journey of Flower", she has become a top-tier star and performed well in a series of things. The number of career fans is also increasing.
They are keen to see a girl from the countryside become an entertainment superstar step by step.
Of course, some people also think that Zhao Liying's so-called "inspiration" is actually based on Wei Yang.
This has caused many people to complain, but also attracted many people's support.
Because this kind of Cinderella meets the prince story is exactly the story that countless girls fantasize about and expect to happen. To some extent, Zhao Liying has become the object of their substitution.
But no matter what, these halos have made Zhao Liying more and more brilliant with her rise.
In the eyes of many people, this blue whale sister has the potential to impact the top Chinese female stars, and this potential is being realized quickly.
In September alone, Zhao Liying signed four heavyweight endorsements, including well-known jewelry brands such as Chow Tai Fook and dairy giant Mengniu.
What's more rare is that Zhao Liying has also made great strides in the fashion field, which was previously at a disadvantage.
Since the hit of "The Journey of Flower", she has won the covers of two authoritative magazines, and is in contact with two more, and a light luxury brand has also extended an olive branch.
Moreover, this is just the beginning. If she can maintain this momentum, more brands will favor her in the future.
Facts have proved that all fashion attributes, Balabala, must give way to unparalleled popularity and popularity.
With this crazy momentum of killing gods and Buddhas, Zhao Liying's first starring work "My Deskmate" will be released during the National Day holiday.
There is no doubt that this movie is a bit of a hype, but it can also test Zhao Liying's current popularity and influence.
If it can achieve a good box office, Zhao Liying's first-line top stream is completely stable, and even a little higher.
Therefore, Zhao Liying herself and her competitors who pay close attention to her are very concerned about this National Day file.
Hunan Province, Star City
Fan Xiaopang, who just finished recording the program, was a little hungry and stayed in the restaurant downstairs to order some food.
Her new drama "Legend of Wu Mei Niang" starring and even produced by her will be broadcast in October, and the broadcast platform is Hunan Province TV + PPTV.
This time point can also be regarded as taking over "The Journey of Flower". The two dramas are only one month apart, and they are on the same platform. In addition to the special factor of Wei Yang, it is estimated that there will be a lot of entanglements.
Even if Fan Xiaopang is confident in his popularity, he is still a little bit weak in the face of the phenomenal hit "The Journey of Flower".
Coupled with some other psychological factors, he unconsciously began to focus on Zhao Liying.
This is a rare treatment for female stars born in the 1980s!
Fan Xiaopang is popular enough, so she is naturally arrogant. In the past, she only had eyes for the big stars such as the four Dan and Shuang Bing. Later, some of these big stars did not develop smoothly and were directly kicked out of the list.
Strictly speaking, there are only two and a half female stars born in the 1980s that she really cares about, Liu Shishi and Liu Tianxian, and Da Mimi before she started a company.
Recently, Fan Xiaopang is thinking about giving Da Mimi a promotion if she does well in starting a business, but before that, Zhao Liying took the lead and became the third.
In Fan Xiaopang's view, Zhao Liying's popularity is not important. The most important thing is that she is the number one sister of Blue Whale and Wei Yang behind her.
The latter two points bring too much advantage to a female star, so even if Zhao Liying became famous and powerful later, Fan Xiaopang also paid enough attention to her.
She knows very well that with the support of resources at this level, as long as she is given a good opportunity, she will soar to the sky.
"The Journey of Flower" has proved this point. It is estimated that Blue Whale and Wei Yang will have a lot of arrangements in the future. This round-faced little bun looks harmless, and she will definitely be a strong rival that she cannot underestimate in the future.
In this regard, Fatty Fan complained a lot about that bastard.
These big girls were already very aggressive, but he brought out a group of 85 and 90 girls who were full of energy and ambition. Fortunately, she was upgraded to capital now, otherwise she might not be able to outlast these little girls.
After drinking a mouthful of soup, Fan Xiaopang swiped his phone, and the page was exactly the professional version of Hualuo.com APP.
As mentioned earlier, this software is specially used by industry insiders and the media, providing professional data from all parties, including real-time movie box office.
In other words, Fan Xiaopang can use this software to check the box office data of "My Deskmate" anytime and anywhere, which is much more convenient than waiting for the announcement or calling internal personnel before.
This year's National Day file is actually very simple, it is completely a two-person turn of two movies.
One is Zhao Liying's "My Deskmate", and the other is Ning Hao, Huang Bo, and Xu Zheng's iron triangle "Heart Flower Road".
Blue Whale has invested in both movies, one is an exclusive production, and the other accounts for a large proportion. To some extent, it can be regarded as a family war.
What's more interesting is that Zhao Liying actually participated in "Heart Flower Road", and played a cameo as a second-year girl in Ma Shate.
And the most interesting thing is that whether it is "Heart Flower Road" or "My Deskmate", the original version of Zhao Liying's role is the little yellow duck.
The wool is too ruthless!
Originally, it was highly unlikely that the two films would be released together.
But Zhao Liying is very popular now, and Blue Whale is not confident in "My Deskmate" and urgently needs her popularity, so it doesn't care so much.
The two films did not fight to the death. Instead, because both of them starred in Zhao Liying, they interacted with each other and cheered each other up from a distance. The atmosphere was friendly and harmonious.
Blue Whale also got the good story of Feng Kuzi's guest appearance in the Lunar New Year rival "Kung Fu", which created a wave of momentum for Zhao Liying.
Unfortunately, when "My Deskmate" was filmed, it was not thought to be released together with "Heart Flower Road", otherwise Huang Bo and others would be dragged over to make a guest appearance, and there would be more tricks to play.
"Heart Flower Road" was released on September 30, and today is the second day.
"My Deskmate" premiered this morning. Fan Xiaopang took a look during the day, and the real-time box office was limited, so he waited until the evening to watch it.
The first place is still "Heart Flower", the influence of the iron triangle is not a joke, this movie has a very good momentum, the first day box office exceeded 100 million, today, thanks to the National Day holiday, it has increased by 10 million compared to yesterday.
The second place is "My Deskmate".
To be honest, there is really nothing to say about this movie except Zhao Liying and the movie name is a classic song.
The director is a newcomer, and the male lead is also a newcomer. At least Fan Xiaopang has never heard of the names Guo Fan and Li Xian.
The supporting cast can only be said to be average. The biggest highlight is the guest appearance by Na Zha and Li Jiahang, but it only flashed by and did not play a decisive role.
In Fan Xiaopang's view, such a play is just a follow-up work of youth love themes such as "The Girl We Chased in Those Years", and it can only exceed 100 million.
However, now there is an additional Zhao Liying, which has led to new changes in the situation.
The pre-sale box office alone has refreshed the industry record. With such performance, even if fans rush in without thinking, it is estimated that it will exceed 100 million.
Fan Xiaopang was mentally prepared and guessed that this movie would probably reach 200-300 million yuan. If the quality is guaranteed, it is not impossible to exceed 300 million yuan.
However, when she saw the actual box office of "My Deskmate", she was still a little dumbfounded.
The first day box office was 45.633 million (excluding pre-sale box office)!
This is going to take off...
