In its second week, The Piano Tuner grossed 220 million yuan at the box office. Combined with the first week's data, it officially broke through 500 million yuan. The actors in the film also became popular, with the leading actor Liu Zhengwen being the first to become popular.
"Liu Zhengwen has returned from Nirvana!"
"Yoo Jung-moon's new movie is a big hit!"
"A comprehensive appreciation of Liu Zhengwen's acting skills!"
"Xianyu's new film is a big hit, and Liu Zhengwen is back in the spotlight!"
"Looking back at those popular young actors who have been gradually forgotten by us, some are still struggling and some have already retired. Liu Zhengwen has now re-entered the audience's field of vision with this film."
"… "
This is the benefit of having a popular foundation.
Ten years ago, Liu Zhengwen was a popular young actor. Unfortunately, he encountered an accident on the set when his career was booming. When he returned to the circle, he could no longer find the position that once belonged to him.
But the memory he left to that audience ten years ago remains.
And this "The Tuner" is like a spell, awakening everyone's impression of Liu Zhengwen.
then…
Liu Zhengwen has become popular again.
You know, the word "becoming popular again" seems simple, but in fact it is soaked with countless persistence and sweat. So when flowers and spotlights surround him again, Liu Zhengwen cherishes this moment very much.
"Now I understand why you took this role so seriously before."
When Liu Zhengwen's agent said this, a trace of fear flashed through his heart.
If Liu Zhengwen hadn't gotten the role at that time, he would have regretted it to death. How could he be giving interviews and thanking Xianyu frequently in front of the media now
Yes.
Liu Zhengwen has accepted many interviews recently, and in every interview, the sentence Liu Zhengwen often says is:
"Thank you, Teacher Xianyu."
Liu Zhengwen said this from the bottom of his heart.
When the reporter asked Liu Zhengwen whether he would continue to cooperate with Xianyu in the future, Liu Zhengwen's answer was also decisive:
"If Teacher Xianyu needs me, I'm always on standby."
This is the signal Liu Zhengwen sent to the outside world.
Actors generally don't send out such signals because it involves complex factors such as pay and schedule.
This means that Liu Zhengwen has labeled himself as Xianyu.
Under normal circumstances, no actor would dare to take such a low profile when the future is uncertain.
The other side.
As a film director, Yi Chenggong naturally received many interviews.
However, what Yi Chenggong said after the interview shocked the outside world:
"Many people don't know that, in fact, whether it is the nonsensical comedy last time or this time's "The Tuner", the real director behind the movie is Mr. Xianyu. I just filmed according to Mr. Xianyu's instructions, including the presentation of the shots, etc., which have been written in advance in the script..."
Everyone knows that Xianyu’s movies are produced with the screenwriter as the core.
But no one expected that Xianyu, the screenwriter, was so core!
"Do you feel that your talents are not being fully utilized? Have you ever considered shooting a new film with the core identity of a director?"
"Whether the screenwriter or the director is the core of the crew, the essential purpose is to make the film better. Since everyone is working for a better film, of course we have to listen to Teacher Xianyu. I don't think the script can be better presented according to my ideas. Moreover, when I encounter some shots that I think can be better, I will discuss changes with Teacher Xianyu. Teacher Xianyu is very easy to talk to in private, and most of the time he still accepts the opinions of the crew."
…
What Yi Chenggong said in the interview shocked many people. No one suspected that Yi Chenggong was lying because this kind of thing could be verified by just interviewing a few crew members. There was no point in lying.
Besides, lying about such things will not do Yi Chenggong any good.
"So Xianyu is the director?"
"Is Yi Chenggong really just a tool?"
"It's just that Director Yi is not greedy for credit. This statement must be a bit of modesty. He must have made his own contribution to the film. If it was directed by another director, the film might not be so good. But it is probably true as Yi Chenggong said. The real director in charge of the film is actually Xianyu..."
"The presentation of the shots is all determined by the script, so it's totally fine for Xianyu to be named the director."
"This is the absolute centralization of the core system of screenwriters!"
"… "
People inside and outside the industry were shocked.
Someone sighed: "It's really easy to succeed."
Very easy success.
Yi Chenggong doesn't think there is anything wrong with this.
His dream is to become a famous director, to have his own films shown in theaters, and to have his own films be box office hits.
As for whether the filming of the movie is directed by others, Yi Chenggong does not pursue this.
All I can say is that people are different.
If it were Du An, he would definitely hate being directed by the screenwriter.
Yi Chenggong, however, likes the current model very much and even enjoys it.
By cooperating with Xianyu, you can easily achieve success.
Besides…
People who really know the business should also know that no matter how core the screenwriter is, the importance of the director cannot be ignored for a movie.
Already gained both fame and fortune.
What other bicycle do you want
Yi Chenggong is not the kind of director who would be jealous of everyone paying more attention to the screenwriter.
Even in a crew with a screenwriter as the core, the director is still the director.
Worth mentioning is…
Actress Zhou Xue, who played the femme fatale Jiang Yan in the movie, also became popular with the release of the movie!
The vicious femme fatale was portrayed to perfection through her performance.
Of course, there was no such bad situation where many people went to Zhou Xue’s account to scold her as an actress because she played a villain…
Some villains, even if they are evil to the core, can often be loved by the audience as the actor.
This did cause some repercussions within the company.
First, He Sheng...
Then to Yu Xilu...
Now to Zhou Xue...
There are already several actors in the company whose careers have flourished because of appearing in Xianyu's dramas.
This made many actors in the company start to get excited.
I want to be in Xianyu...'s play!
When Xianyu was preparing to film "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One", those famous actors in the company avoided him.
Even when "The Piano Tuner" started casting, many actors didn't seem to be very serious about the role.
As a result, many people missed opportunities due to lack of attention.
Just like Yi Chenggong publicly declared that as a director, he actually listened to Xianyu's instructions on the crew.
This can be regarded as another reversal after the end of the movie.
The name Xianyu is not only popular in the music circle, but is now becoming increasingly popular in the film and television circles.
“The most powerful newcomer in the film and television industry.”
Some people commented on Xianyu's status in the film and television industry in this way.
