Ye Jin had no idea how to do an article outside the play.

In the next few days, he would think about the character [Fang Heng] when he had time.

To be honest, the character [Fang Heng] is still relatively thin, and he is a passionate young man. His characteristics are youth, impulsive, passionate, and his disadvantage is that he is irrational and sophisticated.

Such a role with a simple personality is actually not too difficult to play. However, because it was the first time he was the main role, Ye Jin still thought about it carefully and analyzed his lines word by word according to the teacher in the acting training class, and wrote psychological descriptions in the blanks.

The script does not describe the character's psychology, but only expresses it through lines, actions, expressions, etc. So at this time, the actor needs to figure out what kind of psychological activities they have when they say this line, do this action, and show this expression.

The more you think deeply and realistic you will be, the more accurate you will be in the role and the better your performance will naturally be.

Ye Jin pondered carefully, and wrote his experience on paper from time to time, and finally wrote six large pieces of paper, nearly 10,000 words. Compared with that, his lines in the play were less than 600 words.

The so-called hard work pays off. Through these efforts, Ye Jin has already mastered the role of [Fang Heng] quite well. Although he dare not say that he is compared with those drama artists and actors, he is definitely enough in kung fu films.

...

Just as Ye Jin was conceiving his role, "The Killing Corps" was officially released in theaters.

On the day of release, the average attendance rate reached 70%, which is quite good.

You should know that "The Killing Beach" has no big-name stars or big-name directors. It is completely a configuration of second- and third-tier artists and rookie directors. It has no box office appeal. The attendance rate can reach 70%, which is already very good. Especially when the official release is not a holiday, the audience can still support it so much, which is obviously even more amazing.

The same period was released, including Zhang Che, Cheng Gang and Yue Feng, directed by three directors, and starring Di Long, Jiang Dali, Yue Hua, Shi Wei, Luo Yu, He Lili, Zong Hua, Li Jing and other dozens of popular stars.

Needless to say, Zhang Che's status in the Xiangjiang film industry is unique and at its peak. The other two directors, Cheng Gang and Yue Feng are also not simple.

Cheng Gang's representative works include "Skynet", "The Roster of Recruitment", "Fourth Female Heroes", "The King of Cass", etc. The "Twelve Gold Medals" he filmed was the box office champion in 1970s, with HK$1.56 million, setting a box office record at that time, which was very difficult.

His most outstanding representative works are his son Cheng Xiaodong, a well-known martial arts director in Xiangjiang, and countless classic works, such as "A Chinese Ghost Story", "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer", "The Deer and the Cauldron", "Shaolin Football", "A Chinese Journey to the West", etc.

Yue Feng is also a veteran director of Xiao. He has been filming since the 1940s. He is very qualified and everyone respectfully calls him [Master Yue]. His classic works such as "Three Smiles", "The West Chamber", "The Lotus Lantern", "New Knife and the Causes of Laughter", etc.

"Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance", one of Zhou Xingchi's classic works, is adapted from Master Yue's "Three Smiles".

As for stars such as Di Long, Jiang Dali, Yue Hua, He Lili, Luo Yu, etc., there is no need to introduce them one by one. In a simple sentence, in Xiangjiang in the 1970s, their status was equivalent to that of the top-tier stars in China today.

Therefore, when promoting this famous director and big names, "The Legend of the Congregation", it will use [spend a ticket and watch three sets of movies] as the selling point.

This lineup is indeed too strong. Compared with it, "The Swordsman" is like a straw team.

...

But surprisingly, after the release, the box office of the straw-staff "The Band of the Corps" was getting higher and higher day by day. The box office reached 190,000 on the first day, 200,000 on the second day, 210,000 on the third day, and the box office exceeded the million Hong Kong dollar mark in one week.

This also made Wu Siyuan a [million director]. At that time, this title meant power and status. It could require higher production funds and higher pay. You could basically curse people at will on the set, and no one dared to stop them.

Like Cheng Gang, Zhang Che, and Li Hanxiang even dared to slap the table with Xiao Runze, the boss of Xiao Runze. Xiao Runze had to smile and comfort her, and did not dare to offend these God of Wealth.

Wu Siyuan just made his second film. At the age of 28, he has become a [million director]. He was also praised by the media for a while and became famous.

Compared with this, the box office of "The Legend of the Cong" was a bit shabby, with the box office in the first week only 600,000, which was not even a million.

The new dramas that the three big directors and more than 30 big-name stars cooperated with are not as good as those of a straw troupe. This not only caused an uproar in the media, but also shocked the industry.

It is said that Boss Xiao was so angry that he slapped the table and asked the affairs department to explain why he let Wu Siyuan go away. Wu Siyuan was originally from the Xiao family, but only left Xiao family to develop last year. If he had not been allowed to leave at the beginning, now he would have been from Xiao people and movies.

...

"The Band of the Corps" was a big hit at the box office, and Ye Jin was very happy for Wu Siyuan.

This can be regarded as a revenge for the actor who was snatched away by Zhang Che.

But then again, since "The Bandits" is a big hit, Wu Siyuan's new work should be launched immediately. Taking advantage of the popularity of the moment, start filming, release, and make money.

But after he got the script, it had been a week since he had passed, and he still had not received a call from Wu Siyuan, which made Ye Jin very surprised.

"Brother, why haven't Director Wu started filming new works yet?" He asked Yuan Heping curiously.

"Hey, don't mention it. Someone was one step ahead of him and signed Chen Xing first. Now Chen Xing is filming "Tangrenke" by Far East Pictures, and it is estimated that he will have to wait at least twenty days." Yuan Heping explained.

"Why is this happening?" Ye Jin said in surprise, "Didn't Director Wu call him and ask him not to sign a contract with another company first?"

"Hey, you don't know that the boss of Far East Pictures flew to Siam in person and directly took a check of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars to Chen Xing." Yuan Heping explained, "You also know that Chen Xing only earned 800 yuan in Xiao's month, and his salary for filming "The Bang Ke Dao" was only 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. Now suddenly there is 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in front of him, how could he refuse?"

When Ye Jin heard this, he nodded.

If he were Chen Xing, it would be difficult to calm down if he saw 100,000 Hong Kong dollars at once.

You should know that at that time, a new house with a one-bedroom living room and a living room priced at about 50 square meters was not more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. The salary for a movie is worth one house, and not everyone can refuse such a temptation.

...

"The Band of the Corps" was finally released for fifteen days, with a total box office of HK$1.73 million. Including production costs, promotional costs, theater base costs, etc., Wu Siyuan and others can make a big deal.

On the eleventh day of the release of "The Legend of the Cong" was forced to drop because the attendance rate was less than 30%. The final box office was 1.03 million Hong Kong dollars, barely exceeding one million, which at least gave the three directors some face.
Chapter completed!
