The movie "Big Devil", which has been in preparation for a long time, was finally announced recently, and the plum blossoms couldn't help crying with joy.
Last year, Mei Zihan still had a TV series, an online drama, and two movies. This year, the only one that has been officially announced is "The Great Devil".
More than half of this year has passed, and if this continues, there will be almost no food to eat.
Mei Zihan and Liu Tianyi were also very helpless about this. The landlord's house also has no surplus food. They filmed it before broadcasting it immediately, and they don't have much in stock.
In addition, "The Crown" is still in the late stage, which is a delicate job, and it won't be able to produce good results in a while, but it can be regarded as a good speed at the end of the year.
In this way, the only work that Mei Zihan can broadcast this year is "The Great Devil".
Oh, by the way, there is also the third season of "Fu Shen"!
I hope that the third season can also be broadcast on New Year's Day according to the time of the first two seasons.
"Big Devil" is scheduled for October 3rd, which happens to be National Day.
Because the original script of this movie was a bit esoteric, when it was adapted into a movie, many jokes were added. Even young people who can't accurately grasp the core of the film can see it as a fantasy comedy film.
In terms of the depth of the movie, it cannot be compared with the drama version, but for the sake of the box office of the movie and the consideration of the audience, this is also a necessary compromise.
When the film started its road show promotion, Mei Zihan happened to be filming "In and Out", and took a day or two out of the middle, so he didn't pay much attention to other promotions.
However, considering Mei Zihan's current appeal, even if he is just an ordinary publicity, there will still be audiences who will walk into the cinema with his name.
The people from the Qinglong Repertory Theater also knew the importance of the film directed by Li Wei, and Mei Zihan was their biggest investor, so there was nothing to say.
Compared with this movie, the schedule of National Day is already a good time that can be met but not sought after. Of course, competitors are also relatively fierce.
After Mei Zihan finished filming "In and Out", it was almost when the movie started.
The pre-sale tickets of this movie have almost exceeded 100 million. After some comments from film critics and screening data, the industry estimates the box office of this movie to be around 700 million to 800 million.
Such box office results are of course not good enough for Mei Zihan's previous films. However, as a film adapted from a drama, the story itself is not very fresh to the audience. The people beamed with joy.
Without Mei Zihan joining, it would be very difficult for this movie to break through 100 million.
Compared with the industry's prediction of the box office performance, everyone pays more attention to Mei Zihan's performance in this movie.
Everyone knows that after "The Great Devil", Mei Zihan's next two films are "In and Out", which is already in production, and the next co-production film directed by Zhou Guojian.
Mei Zihan's take-off has become unstoppable, and what everyone wants to know now is what kind of situation Mei Zihan can reach.
You still have no chance to see the latter two movies, but in this "Big Devil", you can really see how Mei Zihan's acting skills are.
"Shit Shovel Officer" has already won Mei Zihan a nomination for Best Actor, so now this "Big Devil" should be no less good.
If the audience's expectations for Mei Zihan's acting skills were seven points before, then after Li Wei announced that Mei Zihan would be the leading actor in his last movie, the audience's expectations for Mei Zihan became ten points.
Naturally, film critics have stricter criteria for judging Mei Zihan's performance in the film.
It's not that Mei Zihan is unaware of the attention being paid to him by the outside world. It's rare that he is a little more nervous.
When the movie "The Shit Shoveler" he carried alone was released, Mei Zihan could sleep without heart and lungs. Now it's the turn of "The Great Devil", and Mei Zihan can't sleep because of wanting to sleep .
"I can already imagine how harsh the film critics will say about me." Mei Zihan couldn't help sighing, "In the eyes of film critics, I was just an actor of the younger generation, and they would be more tolerant of me. But Now they will definitely demand me with the standard of actor, the pressure is really great."
Seeing Mei Zihan sighing while eating, Jiang Ying couldn't help laughing.
If it was really stressful, Mei Zihan would not eat in such an orderly manner.
Look, he picks what he likes to eat.
"There is pressure to be motivated. If everyone praises you all the time, it may be difficult for you to find out where you are." Jiang Ying said while moving Mei Zihan's favorite fruit to Mei Zihan's face .
"Then I just have to wait for director Zhou Guojian's movie to start shooting. Thank God, I heard that everything has finally been settled." Mei Zihan couldn't help laughing when he thought of this troubled movie.
When he just heard about this movie, he was still filming "Blood Pond", and he didn't even dare to think about what role he could play in Director Zhou's movie.
Unexpectedly, after such a long period of running-in, the filming finally started, and I have grown to the point where I can participate in this film.
What should come will always come, what is yours is still yours after all.
Mei Zihan had never felt that the word fate was so wonderful.
In the past, the goddess also said that she hoped that she could have a real rivalry with him, and now the opportunity has come.
"For this "Fire of War 1940", the actor invited is the Hollywood actor Rick. He likes to shoot such war scenes very much, and his own strength is even more impressive. This film is aimed at the Oscars. Here Before, every point you improved was a good thing for you. Thinking about it this way, if those film critics have something to say, it is also a good thing for you to help you."
"Okay, okay. Let me just say one thing, you said so much." Mei Zihan waved his hands quickly, "Shall we talk about something happy? For example, well, I can finally celebrate the New Year with you this year, happy Well!"
"Happy." Jiang Ying followed with a smile.
How can you be unhappy
Although Mei Zihan never said anything and Jiang Ying never complained, the two of them did not spend the New Year together in a real sense. Now that they can finally be reunited together without being separated by a TV screen, the joy in their hearts will never be less than that of anyone else.
Strictly speaking, this should be the first year that the two of them spent together after they got married.
"Just be happy. I don't have any work to do next. Hehe, Brother Liu said that I'm going for the awards now, so I can reduce the exposure rate appropriately, and increase the exposure rate before the movie awards."
Now Mei Zihan's popularity and strength have been proven, even if there are countless fresh meat, Mei Zihan's status will not be shaken.
After all, Mei Zihan was already on the verge of being the Best Actor. Naturally, you can't be like those ordinary traffic niches, who need to rely on topics and exposure to maintain their popularity.
To put it simply, the style is different. Now Mei Zihan needs to maintain a calm and low-key image in front of the public.
Of course, it is also because Mei Zihan has detonated several hot searches in the past, and as a human being, you always have to leave some soup for others, and you can't keep dominating the hot searches by yourself.
When "The Great Devil" was officially released, Mei Zihan took Jiang Ying and the two secretly in a disguise, and sat in a corner of the movie.
After the lights went out at the beginning of the movie, the two of them walked slowly to the corner seats.
Although the two of them can also book a room, how can it be more exciting than hiding in the crowd and watching a movie together
"After waiting for so long, Mei Zihan's movie is finally released."
"Before it was released, I had already watched the drama version of "The Great Devil". I don't know how the movie will be changed, and I am looking forward to it."
"No matter what Mei Zihan plays is good-looking, he has never let us down."
A few girls who were obviously fans of Mei Zihan were whispering at the side, and all the words of the conversation fell into the ears of Mei Zihan and Jiang Ying.
"Hearing others praise you so close, Mr. Mei Zihan, how do you feel?" Jiang Ying approached Mei Zihan's ear, and asked softly with a little smile.
"Kiss me and I'll tell you."
"..."
Jiang Ying looked around for a while and found that no one noticed this small corner, so she put her lips on Mei Zihan's cheek, stuck out her tongue, and licked it slightly.
It might as well be a kiss.
Mei Zihan only felt that the temperature of the other party's tongue was transmitted directly to his heart through the skin.
"My feeling is, luckily I came to watch it with you, otherwise I wouldn't have heard their praise for me, right?"
The movie begins.
From the very beginning, it was a close-up of Sha Dan played by Tong Heng.
He was sitting on the top of the building, and there were many pointing people and police downstairs. His eyes were blank, and he didn't seem to know what he was doing.
With the help of the neighbors downstairs, the audience understood the cause of the incident.
"I heard that his company went bankrupt, his wife ran away with someone, and the child doesn't belong to him. Under the triple blow, he seems to be a little crazy."
"It's a crime."
"Several of his relatives seemed to be planning to send him to a mental hospital. Unexpectedly, he sat on the roof before the doctor came."
"Mr. Sha is a good man."
Soon, the police and the doctors of the mental hospital tied up the man from the roof of the building, and then sent him directly to the car of the mental hospital.
In the car, Sha Dan finally realized what he was doing, he began to struggle violently, and shouted that he was not sick, and even did a few simple tests with the doctor.
There are almost all original jokes and jokes here, and there are even a little pornographic jokes. This five-minute amusing time quickly made the audience in the movie theater start to concentrate.
At the eighth minute, Shadan began to cross.
The duration of the whole movie is about 130 minutes, and almost every ten minutes there is a big or small breakout point or laughing point.
Guan Yue's shots are beautiful, but because he has directed literary films for a long time, the rhythm is not very good. Therefore, in terms of plot setting, several screenwriters worked hard to calculate the duration.
Mei Zihan's appearance should have been in the 11th minute.
At the 11th minute, Mei Zihan was wearing a black armor, with red colored contact lenses in his eyes, and tattoos on his face, and then he made a majestic appearance—second counsel.
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Oh my god, the cowardly Mei Zihan is so cute."
"It's another face change in a second."
"My Mei's contrast is so cute. Thanks to his clothes, he turned out to be a devil's little coward?"
No, he is not a coward, he is still the villain of the whole movie, but he has not shown it yet.
Mei Zihan looked at himself on the screen and blinked, as if he didn't dare to recognize him.
"You handle your emotions well in this place, and it feels very cute." Jiang Ying said close to Mei Zihan's ear, "It also aroused the audience's interest very well. After all, you, as a big devil, see you as a human being. When he was the protagonist, his attitude was somewhat unexpected."
"I'm always cute, thank you." Mei Zihan sat up obediently, "The back is even cuter."
What Mei Zihan said was not false at all.
After mistaking the human being in front of him for the great demon king, Mei Zihan, who was the great demon, could only endure his petty temper, and frightenedly followed the human being to travel around the kingdom of demons. In the process of acting together with the protagonist, through some words and actions of the protagonist, he recalled his own journey to the human world, so as to slowly show the audience why Mei Zihan, who is a great demon, is so afraid of human beings.
There are also many laughs in the middle.
It was not until the end that the great demon Mei Zihan finally realized that this human being was just a powerless guy. He finally tore off the mask of hypocrisy before, and truly revealed his demonic habits.
In the end, as the human protagonist, he had to flee everywhere, and finally escaped back to the human world with the help of those little devils that Shadan helped.
Ironically, when the protagonist wakes up, he is now in a room in a mental hospital.
Is this just a dream, or is it reality
The movie does not give the audience an answer, which requires the audience to guess by themselves.
The whole movie is actually a black comedy.
The setting of the kingdom of demons is actually not much different from that of the human world. He is obviously a demon who admires power, but he has also begun to imitate human beings to use intrigues to seize territory.
In this kingdom of demons, there are also practical problems such as difficulty in seeing a doctor and an imbalance in the ratio of male and female demons. It's just that in the movie, their problems are more magnified and more absurd than reality.
Such a plot setting greatly weakens the comedy of the movie.
After the movie was over, the audience was still a little distracted.
In the ending, there is no such thing as evil overpowering good, but the protagonist can't even tell whether his own experience is true or false.
Of course, it is impossible for this movie to give you a happy ending.
The main staff of the repertory troupe still have their own goals and pursuits for movies. They could have made an original comedy movie if they just wanted to make money.
Mei Zihan and Jiang Ying came out of the movie theater, found a private box and sat down.
"What do you think of this movie?" Mei Zihan asked curiously.
"The thing that concerns me the most is the female demon saved by the hero. There are no doctors in the demon kingdom, because the previous doctors were not cured, and the doctors were eaten by the patients. Over time, there will be no more doctors. Because the female demons are not as powerful as the male demons, they have had a very difficult life since they were young. When they grow up, the only remaining female demons can only become public property and wait for the big lord to distribute them to the male demons below. An exaggerated satire of reality."
This kind of irony can be seen even by ordinary audiences, and this is also a passage that embodies the core of the whole story. Even in this passage, there are still a lot of jokes, but it may be difficult for the audience to laugh.
"As an audience who wants to watch a comedy movie, "Big Devil" didn't fulfill its mission as a comedy movie. But it is indeed a good movie."
"This is also the reason why the industry has not overestimated its box office. The market's acceptance of this kind of movie is not too high, and it is definitely not suitable for couples or families to watch."
"But your performance in it is great." Jiang Ying praised Mei Zihan without hesitation, "Whether it's the deception in the early stage, the outburst in the later stage, or even the memories of the big devil interspersed in the world, the three personalities , you have grasped it well."
on the film platform.
"Big Devil: A Mashable Satire." "
"Having everything, but nothing to the point. "
"Mei Zihan's performance is still gratifying, but this film can only be given six points"
…
Probably this kind of ironic movie can greatly stimulate some people's desire to create, and the major movie online shopping platforms are quickly overwhelmed by various movie reviews.
Many people who like to point out the country have jumped out and started to criticize reality after the movie.
Difficult to reach.
Some people think that "Big Devil" satirizes reality with such absurd comedy techniques. But there are also some people who also think that the ambition of "The Great Devil" is too great. It can be seen that the director and screenwriter want to dig into some points in reality, but unfortunately many problems are only roughly touched on the surface, and there is no After a thorough study, the whole movie looks a bit different.
More people still praised the two leading actors, Mei Zihan and Tong Heng.
Mei Zihan's current status in the entertainment industry can be said to be at the height of the sky, let alone those young actors, even some veteran actors have to give in to Mei Zihan.
In this movie, Mei Zihan's performance is still very good.
Although film critics criticized some plots of the film, they still mostly praised Mei Zihan.
On the first day, the box office of "Big Devil" reached 150 million. Compared with the commercial film released on the first day of National Day, today's box office is almost 20 million higher.
However, the next day, the ratings of "Big Devil" increased, but the box office began to show a clear downward trend.
Even if the downward trend wasn't that much, it was still enough for Mei Zihan's sunspots to dance with joy.
Mom, after waiting for so long, it's finally time for them to laugh at Mei Zihan's box office results.
It's really hard to be Mei Zihan's gossip, even if they make up some gossip, it's just not painful, and it won't let the public remember it at all.
The vast majority of audiences don't care much about the grievances and grievances in the entertainment industry. Whose works they will go to see and for whom they are willing to go to the cinema are the issues that investors and entertainment industry leaders care about.
No matter how much Mei Zihan's black material is, as long as its box office results are high and the ratings of TV dramas are good, everything will not be a problem.
The plum blossoms refute these sunspots, and often just say a few words, "I don't know who your fans are, and how are your grades? Show it!"
Every time Mei Zihan's TV series and movies are released, there will always be people who sing bad news. They think that the audience is already very familiar with Mei Zihan's face, and no one can never fail.
But it happened that Mei Zihan's works released in the past two years really didn't miss.
Looking forward to now, I have finally waited for this "Big Devil". The box office has a downward trend on the second day of its release. This is the beginning of Mei Zihan's turn from prosperity to decline!
The sunspots almost wanted to cry bitterly. After persisting for so long, they finally saw hope.
As a result, various sensational headlines appeared on various platforms.
What is Mei Zihan Jianglang's talent is dying, what is the rebirth of the golden finger that has no money to renew, what is too ambitious, and will eventually reap the fruits of its own, etc. and so on.
It seems that Mei Zihan is acting in a peerless bad movie.
Passers-by looked at these comments on Weibo, and then looked back at the box office of "The Great Devil", as if they were watching it for themselves, and it was not the same movie as others said.
Although the box office of "Big Devil" on the second day is not as good as the first day, there is a pre-sale bonus on the first day.
Even if there is a downward trend, it is good to hang other movies on the National Day file. This is obviously the normal trend of a movie.
Is it possible that every movie is like Mei Zihan's previous works, and it is a normal trend to go up and down
"Poor sunspots, they can't even turn their heads."
"Mei Zihan only occasionally appears a work that is not so dark horse, and they feel that this is turning from prosperity to decline."
"Please look back at other male actors offline, do their box office have this trend?"
"After all, there is nothing wrong with Mei Zihan's blackness, and his career achievements are not to be ridiculed. They really can't find a place to revel."
"...I received news that this "Big Devil" has been shortlisted for the Golden Dream Award."
"How should I put it? The IQs of these sunspots, I don't feel comfortable being slapped in the face."
"Add one if you are unhappy."
"I must have been spoiled by Meimei's previous achievements. In fact, a movie with a box office forecast of 700 million or 800 million yuan is definitely a good movie that makes a lot of money, but I actually think that the box office box office is only 1.5 billion yuan, and it is not my Meimei. May's work."
"Before you know it, everyone's expectations for Mei Zihan are already so high?"
"What a terrible influence!"
The author has something to say: Mei Blossom: There is always one thing, TV dramas that don’t break 3, movies that don’t break 1 billion, are not worthy of my Meimei acting.
Fans of others: enough of you! ! ! !
