"The Liar" finally ended perfectly with a box office of 530 million. After this battle, all the main creators have gained a lot, among which Jiang Yi is the most.
Within a year, there were two hit works, "If There Is No Love" and "The Liar", with different genres and themes. Jiang Yi became the hottest male star among the younger generation. A play also pays special attention.
It was at this time that everyone was surprised to find that Jiang Yi had filmed a total of three works this year, "The Liar", "My Wedding Diary" and "The Greatest Chess", but none of them were the protagonists, or at least signed. Time is not the protagonist. Although the quality of the work is sometimes more important than whether to play the male lead, connecting the three supporting roles is also a bit exaggerated. Today, when Lin Zequn has started to play the leading male lead, is Jiang Yi going to forge ahead in the supporting role
There were constant speculations from the outside world, but Jiang Yi seemed to have disappeared, and did not participate in any public activities for a month in a row. This further fueled the spread of rumors. Xiaosheng fans who had a competitive relationship with him jumped out and fanned the flames, and even vowed that his fate was like this. Match!
Just as this statement became more and more violent, and it was almost brainwashing everyone, another thing happened.
On December 3, Bai Qingchun's new film "You Fox" held a grand press conference in Beijing. The film has attracted much attention from the beginning of its preparation. Judging from the leaked information, the story is based on the chapter "Ying Ning" in "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio".
As for the list of actors, the crew has kept it strictly confidential until the press conference, and it was announced at the press conference that the actor Jiang Yi, who has just successfully played the role of Xu Ran in "The Liar", will play the leading role as the male lead of the film.
There was an uproar!
Some people thought before that, although the Internet is full of bad news, Jiang Yi's new play should be good, after all, "Liar" is so successful. But even this group of people didn't expect that it would be so good!
Director Bai Qingchun's male number one! You know, his previous male number ones were all top male stars like Xie Fan, Li Chenglang, and Zhou Xueyuan who hold countless actor trophies!
The melon eaters were so scared that they dropped the melons!
Facing the reporter's question, Bai Qingchun smiled and said: "Why did you choose Jiang Yi? The reason is very simple. I believe he can play this role well. Don't act like he took advantage of me. You can be with such a young and talented actor." cooperation with a few actors, maybe I took advantage of him!"
The director's evaluation was so high and he gave such face, all those who questioned before were slapped in the face, especially Du Wenhan's fans. I had been clamoring that my idol would make this movie, but in the end it didn't matter if it went to another family, and it fell into the hands of my biggest enemy!
It’s time to settle Jiang Yi’s fans because of this drama, “Welcome everyone to watch the annual special program—Du Fan Face Slapping 2.0! To be honest, I’m curious that after so many slaps, you really don’t feel any pain? "
"I heard that director Bai decided to use Jiang Yi after watching "Liar". It seems that director Bai also knows who is really interesting in "Liar"!"
"Refreshing! Sure enough, with the right idol, it is Chinese New Year every day! Some people will not understand this feeling!"
Jiang Yi's leap was jokingly referred to by the outside world as "one of the top positions", saying that he was so powerful that he ascended on a rocket. However, he didn't hear any of these voices. One month before the filming started, he cut off the Internet and concentrated on preparing for the new film.
This year's Spring Festival, Jian Wei returned to Chengdu.
Jiang Yi is still on the set. Throughout December and January, he was busy filming and couldn't walk away. Jian Wei didn't go to visit the set this time. On the one hand, his play is very full. Unlike "Chess Game", he is a supporting role, and he still has time to accompany her. This time, he is really tired and doesn't even have enough time to sleep. ; On the other hand, opportunities don't come easily, she doesn't want Director Bai to feel that he is not focused, and she doesn't want to distract him because of herself.
But this time, Jiang Yi's parents went to the set to celebrate the New Year with him. On the evening of the New Year's Eve, Jian Wei's family cooked a sumptuous reunion dinner, and Jiang Yi also had dinner with the crew. The two chatted on WeChat while eating. Because they were afraid of being discovered by their parents, Jian Wei secretly posted under the table for a while, and hid in the toilet for a while. She was too nervous, as if she was back in high school and deserted.
Jiang Yi corrected her statement, "We are obviously high school puppy love!"
Jian Wei imagined that scene, just felt sweet, and suddenly came to her senses, "Who did you fall in love with early? How innocent your history is, tell me honestly!"
Jiang Yi threw a rock at his own foot, so he touched his nose and begged for mercy in a low voice.
When it was almost 12 o'clock, Jian Wei couldn't bear it anymore and sneaked into the room to have a video with Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi also ran to the balcony of the hotel. It was freezing cold outside. Wrapped in a camouflage down jacket, he was still so cold that he rubbed his hands and stomped his feet, and gasped when he opened his mouth.
Jian Wei said: "Don't catch a cold, or go in."
Jiang Yi smiled, "No, my parents will see me if I go in, do you want to say hello to them?"
Jian Wei blushed, just as her father knocked on the door, "What are you doing hiding in there? It's counting down, come out!"
Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows, "Otherwise, I can say hello to my parents..."
Jian Weiyi slapped the screen, "If you talk nonsense again, I really want you to explain clearly to me about the puppy love in high school!"
This threat was very effective, and Jiang Yi immediately turned serious, with an upright expression on his face.
The countdown began on TV, and the host of the Spring Festival Gala led the audience to shout: "5-4-3-3-1-"
The salute and fireworks were fired, and the sky of the whole community was lit up, gorgeous and prosperous.
Jian Wei's ears hurt from the shock, and Jiang Yi was also cheering. Amidst the noise, she still heard his voice, "Happy New Year. This is the second New Year we celebrate together."
Jian Wei looked at his face on the screen. The light shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows, his face is wrapped in warm orange light, his eyes are like two black glass beads, and the smile inside seems to dispel the severe cold of the whole winter.
She remembered that it was also this day last year, when she traveled all over China, just to get to him. At that time, she had no confidence in their future, but a year later, they are still together.
Even if you are not by the other party's side, your heart is closer than before.
Jian Wei pursed her lips and smiled, "Happy New Year. Next year, please give me your advice."
The first month of every year is also a time when a large wave of movies compete for beauty.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the Lunar New Year comedy "Chess Game" directed by Yue Xiaoshan and starring Xie Fan, Chi Yuan and Jiang Yi was officially released. The film tells the story of a former national Go player whose nephew was accidentally kidnapped after years of retirement due to some reasons. The other party said that in order to save his nephew, he must participate in the Go game held in Tokyo and win the grand prize. The chess player had no choice but to embark on a trip to a foreign country. During this process, he encountered old people constantly, and a series of ironic stories happened. He finally found out the kidnapper's true identity and intentions.
Huarui's films have always had a strong momentum. The pre-heating started two months ago, and the publicity was huge. In addition, Yue's comedy has become a regular program for many viewers every year during the New Year. Therefore, the box office of the film hit the box office on the first day of its release. 170 million.
Jiang Yi played the kidnapped nephew in the movie. This is the second movie he participated in and the first comedy in his life. Before that, many people worried that he was not suitable and would not be able to blend in. When they saw the film, they realized that they thought too much.
Yue Xiaoshan's comedies never rely on funny and exaggerated body language to amuse everyone, but more on the use of language. In the film, Jiang Yi fully demonstrated to everyone what it means to "talk nonsense in a serious manner". He obviously had a straight face and a sincere and serious face, but he didn't say a word of truth.
This kind of cold humor is exactly what Yue Xiaoshan and Xie Fan admired. The three of them cooperated seamlessly, and the whole film was perfectly harmonious.
At the end, the crowd shouted: "I didn't expect Jiang Yi to be so talented in funny!"
However, so far, his opponent is Xie Fan after all, so there is no such thing as "The Liar". Jiang Yi is very good and fulfilled his task just right, and handed in a satisfactory answer for his comedy debut.
By the time it was released, "A Game of Chess" had earned a total of 1.3 billion at the box office, becoming the king of this year's Lunar New Year file. Jiang Yi also established good relationships with Yue Xiaoshan, Xie Fan and even Huarui Media through this film.
In addition to movies, the TV circle in the first month is also very lively. Once the palace idol drama "Nanyuan Beloved" starring Yin Ru and Xu Muzhou was broadcast, it became popular on the screen.
Yin Ru collaborated with Jiang Yi in "Cold Night" two years ago. Although the work was a hit, but because of his mediocre performance and insufficient character highlights, he did not receive as much attention as Jiang Yi. But this time in "The Last Love of the South Garden", she can be regarded as a complete turnaround, and she has been promoted to the forefront of the post-85 Xiaohuadan.
The heroine became popular, and Xu Muzhou, who played the leading role, was also surprising. Unlike Yin Ru, he hadn't had a slightly resonant work before, and this time he appeared out of nowhere. Many people on the Internet began to compare him with Jiang Yi, because his popularity was so strong that he could catch up with the original Jiang Yi, and because he was also Xia Ce's artist.
Jiang Yi has been called "Xia Ce's No. 1 Brother" since half a year ago. Everyone ridicules that Xu Muzhou is here to attack the No. 1 brother position.
This circle is like this, the old ones are still fighting, and the new ones will follow. Lin Zequn, Bai Chuan, Xu Muzhou, they are all rivals.
But these things have not affected Jiang Yi today. His studio has been established for a year and is operating well. There are fewer and fewer parts that cooperate with the company, and it is only a matter of time before it becomes completely independent. Besides, he, who has already taken over Bai Qingchun's male number one, is not something that a newcomer who has just become popular through TV dramas can easily hit.
At the beginning of March, Jiang Yi officially finished filming from the crew of "You Fox". The film took 4 months from the initial training to the completion of filming. Because it is a 3D fantasy blockbuster, there are quite a lot of green screen scenes, flying around from beginning to end, playing non-stop, and the difficulty of shooting is not low at all. When he finally left the crew, Jiang Yi felt that he had rebuilt his bones once.
He Fangming drove to the airport to pick him up. As soon as Jiang Yi opened the car door, he saw a girl sitting in the back seat.
Although he was very tired, the corners of his lips were raised. Just as he was about to speak, the other party made a gesture, "Shut up first, don't argue, the result will come soon!"
Jiang Yi: "..."
Lin Hao explained in a low voice: "Fang Ming and Xiao Wei are nominated for the Academy Awards."
"Liar" participated in this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, and today is indeed the day when the nominations will be announced.
When Jiang Yi got into the car, the co-pilot and the people beside him were all staring at the phone. He Fangming didn't have the solemn expression of Jian Wei, but his eyes never left the screen. He thought it was a little funny, he was not doing well as the client, they were nervous first.
Finally, Jian Wei whispered, "Ah, it's out! The list is out! Best new actor! A Yi, you have nominated the best new actor!"
Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows. As expected, Xu Ran is so outstanding, it is only normal to nominate this. He can even say that he has a high probability of winning the prize.
Jian Wei was very happy, holding his arm and shaking it again and again, before continuing to look at the list, "For others, Director Zuo nominated the best director, Fan Sijun was the best actress, Du Wenhan... nominated the best actor..."
Jian Wei's tone was a little annoyed, but Jiang Yi wasn't too surprised. After all, Du Wenhan has been in the industry for so many years, and he has all the contacts he should have. It is not difficult to get a nomination, and Gao Hong's acting is just not good enough, not bad.
Just about to say something to tease her, Jian Wei gave a suspicious "Huh".
Jiang Yi asked: "What's wrong?"
He Fangming in the front row said, "You also nominated for an award."
Jiang Yi was taken aback, "What else?"
Seeing the expressions of him and Jian Wei, Jiang Yi suddenly had a guess in his heart. Without allowing him to think too much, He Fangming had already raised his mobile phone, and the words on the screen directly hit his eyes.
"Best Actor, you are also nominated..."
