Chapter 73 Chapter 73 No Longer an Invisible Person
Wen Yu has already seen the movie "The Invisible Man".
There weren't really too many surprises in the plot, but when I watched it the second time, there were still some differences from the first time.
Especially since the second part is about to be filmed, Wen Yu has some ideas about the plot and feels that he can discuss it with the screenwriter Mi Hong after reading the whole film.
The 108-minute movie was finished in no time.
Jiang Ying held her boyfriend Ding Ci's arm and said excitedly, "You're going to be famous! Brother Ding, you really are going to be famous, believe me!"
Ding Ci also felt that the movie was better than he expected, but after hearing what his celebrity girlfriend said, he felt a little embarrassed and uncertain.
"Everyone is here, don't just keep praising me, it's Director Ying who shot it well and Teacher Mi who wrote the script well."
Jiang Ying has been in the entertainment industry for many years, and she is considered an old hand when it comes to reading people's expressions.
"Don't worry, Director Ying and Teacher Mi are both family members. When I praise you, it means I am praising them. It's the same, right, Director Ying?"
Ying Tianrui looked at the two and shook his head: "It doesn't matter whether you praise me or not. What's important is that you two stop provoking us singles."
Come to think of it, their entire creative team is made up of single guys.
Hearing this, Jiang Ying smiled and took Ding Ci's arm, holding it tighter.
"That won't do. Director Ying, let's go out for dinner together to celebrate?"
Ying Tianrui waved his hand and said, "Eat!"
The movie was successfully released, so we should celebrate it properly.
It’s still the familiar restaurant and the familiar seats.
Jiang Ying pointed to the empty seat between Ying Tianrui and Li Chaoyan and asked curiously, "Director Ying, Sister Yan, do you two have your own special rituals for eating?"
Ying Tianrui glanced at the empty seat next to him, reached out and placed his hand on the back of the chair, his arm able to touch the presence of the immortal.
He laughed twice and said, "Of course there is a reason for this. You may find out later."
Jiang Ying blinked twice in confusion and asked, "What's the reason?"
All those who knew about it had similar smiles on their faces.
Jiang Ying's eyes turned around and finally fell back on Ying Tianrui's face: "What? Why do I feel like you all know the reason but you just won't tell me? Brother Ding, do you know?"
Ding Ci shook his head: "I don't know either."
Everyone still laughed.
Seeing that she couldn't get any information out of him, Jiang Ying changed the subject and said, "By the way, Director Ying, Sister Yan, do you know the rumors about the Ghost Immortal in the film and television city?"
puff.
Several people present almost burst into laughter.
Jiang Ying: “Hmm?”
Ying Tianrui coughed lightly, trying to make himself look normal: "It's okay, you said, we have only heard a little bit about the rumors about Master Ghost Immortal."
"real?"
Jiang Ying felt that this was not very credible, but she also knew that she could not get anything out of him, so she continued, "Brother Ding and I were introduced by the Ghost Immortal Lord. At that time, I went to the Ghost Immortal Lord to ask for a marriage…"
Ying Tianrui and his friends had to control their expressions with great difficulty.
But I was secretly wondering, does the immortal care about marriage? How about I ask for one when I go back later?
All the single people present were moved.
Including Wenyu himself.
If there really is such a powerful immortal, who can miss the opportunity?
Sometimes it is better for people to live in confusion, and they will be happier.
…
Since everyone was familiar with each other, they ate and drank freely. Halfway through the meal, Wen Yu started to read the comments online.
Today is the first day of the film's release. They watched the evening show. The earliest viewers had already finished watching it, and there were reviews online.
As a film with little publicity and small investment, which seems to be "made up", the people who will go to see it first are basically fans of this genre.
There are also fans accumulated from Wen Yu and his short videos and the first horror film.
It is true that all things are difficult at the beginning. Anyway, when the second official movie was released, it at least had a certain audience base compared to the first one.
Wenyu directly searched on several popular social apps.
I went to their official account and took a look.
The comments seem pretty good.
[The haunted house team that followed our director Ying did not disappoint me. 】
[I was bored late at night, so I just found a movie to watch and used the air conditioning in the theater. It turned out to be unexpectedly good, and the plot was quite exciting, not much worse than those blockbusters.]
[Shocked! I must have seen something good! How could a movie like this, which had no publicity at all, be so good? ]
[So exciting! So exciting! So exciting! So exciting! 】
[I heard that Director Ying is already preparing to shoot "The Invisible Man 2". Is this news true or false? It's very important to me. Someone please tell me! ]
[My sister Li is so beautiful. Such a beautiful female star, when will she wear a high-end dress and walk the red carpet? I will be so beautiful! ]
[I’m an old fan, but I still haven’t seen one of the male leads, Brother Wen Yu. Isn’t this really a promotional method to arouse my curiosity? ]
…
Wen Yu looked around and saw that no one was scolding him, so he felt relieved. Of course, being scolded didn't mean anything.
It mainly depends on the box office.
I slept peacefully that night and everything was normal the next day.
He also saw Jiang Ying's promotion this time.
【Guess if I have a cameo this time? 】
Attached was a promotional poster for "The Invisible Man", a selfie of her at the entrance of the cinema, and a photo with the male and female protagonists Li Chaoyan and Ding Ci.
Jiang Ying’s fans now basically know that their fan’s sister has a good relationship with several actors and the director of the "The Invisible Man" crew.
Although some black fans jumped out to scold her for being friends with unknown celebrities, they will also become unknown sooner or later.
However, most fans still think that there is nothing wrong with this. Instead, it makes Jiang Ying look more like a normal person with a genuine temperament and a lovely personality.
I haven't seen her work with Meng Jun, but they never interacted. Later, Meng Jun got married and canceled the wedding, which was exposed. The fact that he found a divorced rich woman with a child also ruined his relationship.
Look, doesn’t this prove that Jiang Ying is a person with his own judgment?
And his three views are still normal.
More than a year later, Jiang Ying is still promoting Ying Tianrui and his team. This shows that they are true friends, not the kind of people who just forward messages out of consideration for personal relationships or other reasons.
There are still many people who love the house and the dog in it, and although this time's "The Invisible Man" also has horror elements, it is still different from a pure ghost movie.
Therefore, many people went to see Jiang Ying.
"The Invisible Man" has been released for five days, and it has received more and more positive reviews and more and more recommendations. Its reputation has suddenly exploded.
The most intuitive thing is that the single-day box office suddenly exceeded 2 million, directly ranking fifth in the single-day box office.
Wen Yu and the others were all dumbfounded. What does two million in a single day mean?
Moreover, this is not the peak. It is rising almost every day, and the trend is getting faster and faster.
"The Invisible Man 2" has already started filming, and director Ying Tianrui is now having a hard time concentrating on filming.
I can’t wait to check the box office in ten minutes.
Wen Yu’s part has not started filming yet. Ever since he “unlocked” the effective identity of a tool man last time, Ying Tianrui has increasingly regarded him as less of a great man.
Move him wherever he is needed.
Although he is an actor, he does physical work every day and is so tired that he has lost two kilograms.
"Huh?"
The tool Wen Yu suddenly stopped. Not only him, but others also noticed the abnormality he had discovered.
Because Mi Hong discovered another way to use Wen Yu, he added a setting in "The Invisible Man 2" after talking with Wen Yu.
In addition to the male protagonist, the female protagonist is also given the setting of being able to become invisible.
In other words, the role played by Li Chaoyan requires a portion of the filming to be "disappearing and invisible".
The shooting of this part does not rely on post-production, so Wen Yu will naturally have to assist in completion.
Wenyu can make people "invisible" through contact, and the duration of time required varies.
From a few seconds to tens of seconds, this time becomes shorter and shorter due to constant "practice".
Until just now, he put his hand on Li Chaoyan's shoulder, and almost instantly, Li Chaoyan disappeared as his palm touched her.
Wen Yu withdrew his hand and looked at his palm, feeling an indescribable feeling.
It seems like he has evolved again.
Wen Yu let go, and Li Chaoyan immediately returned to normal.
"Daxian, are you okay?"
Li Chaoyan stretched out his hand towards Wen Yu, and as expected, he touched the human's arm.
She patted it gently, and because she couldn't see the changes in his expression or face, she could only confirm it through this action.
Wen Yu didn’t know whether his current condition was good or bad, and there was nothing he could do except accept it.
But because of Wenyu’s evolution, the filming went much more smoothly.
During the filming of "The Invisible Man 2", "The Invisible Man 1" successfully completed its theatrical release.
The cumulative box office is 151 million.
Compared with the investment in this movie, the box office revenue of 151 million is definitely a huge profit.
Gao Ren was happy to hug Ying Tianrui and wear women's clothes and dance a girl group dance to thank the audience.
The audience felt it was an eyesore but also laughed out loud.
Life is too tiring, who can refuse a little fun?
Because the box office exceeded 100 million, the crew also specially released a celebratory poster. Wen Yu and Ding Ci are leaning against each other, with an invisible dividing line dividing the picture into two.
The two were wearing the same clothes, but one had a face and the other didn't.
When the movie was gaining popularity, this poster naturally caused quite a bit of discussion.
[I am so happy to see this poster. Is Wen Yu, one of our leading male actors, too embarrassed to show his face? He doesn't even show his face at this time.]
[I have studied it carefully, Wen Yu and Ding Ci are really two different people. When their shoulders, leg lengths and waistlines are put together, you can see slight differences.]
[So, what this poster means is that the part where Ding Ci shows his face was shot by him, and the part where he becomes invisible was played by Wen Yu? ]
[Two people filmed two parts separately. I already knew this a long time ago. It was like this in the last horror movie. I even made a special comparison. You can watch the video.]
…
Wen Yu also saw this comment and actually went to watch the video according to the address.
I have to say, there are many experts among the people. The comparison video was so well done that even Wen Yu was amazed.
Moreover, he was able to distinguish the very small difference in height and body shape between him and Ding Ci.
Wen Yu was very happy. As an actor, even though he didn't show his face, there were still audiences who remembered and recognized him.
The shooting schedule for "The Invisible Man 2" is three months, from September to the end of November.
We avoided the hottest and coldest times, the temperature was comfortable and we didn’t suffer too much from the temperature during the shooting.
The filming of "The Invisible Man 2" was indescribably smooth. They started and ended work every day, and by the time Wen Yu realized it, it was almost finished.
“Time flies by so fast.”
Wen Yu and Li Chaoyan sighed that Li Chaoyan’s feelings were completely different from his.
She said, "Is it fast? I feel like this shoot is taking too long."
She had a lot of fighting scenes this time, and she was exhausted every day. Her body was covered with bruises all the time, and one day seemed as long as three days.
Li Chaoyan worked really hard while filming, and Wen Yu saw it all, but he also understood her. The mark of "The Invisible Man 1" was very good, and everyone finally gained a little fame, so they must want to take advantage of the second part to give it a try.
Who knows if they will have a chance for a third film.
There are really too many people in this circle. Like them, without connections and resources, it is normal for them to never become famous in their lives.
Even though they had the box office success of "The Invisible Man 1", their value did not increase immediately. A bunch of people came to them and asked them to play the leading role.
The reality is that there are indeed more jobs coming to me, but it is only a small improvement compared to my previous state of being completely unknown.
Wen Yu was comforting Li Chaoyan when Xu Chen suddenly ran over and said, "Master, Director Ying said someone is here to visit the set, don't expose yourself."
No one had told him in advance that someone was coming to visit the set. Although Wen Yu felt it was a bit strange, he thought it was probably some emergency, so he agreed and prepared to roll up and tuck in his clothes to fit his skin.
At this time, Wen Yu was still wearing the costume from the play.
He needed to shoot the protagonist going from an invisible state to an instantly visible state, the clothes appearing from nothing, and then the person appearing from nothing.
Just as he was tidying up his clothes, someone suddenly shouted "Wenyu" in his direction.
People are always particularly sensitive to their own names, and he subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.
It was mid-afternoon, and the sun outside was bright and warm, hitting the glass on the wall at an angle and reflecting into the shooting scene.
When Wen Yu was filming, the location was always cleared, so there weren't many people there.
The two people standing closest to Wen Yu were Li Chaoyan and Xu Chen. In their sight, the "Great Immortal" just turned his head slightly, and then it was like some kind of transparent substance separated from the transparent water, allowing people to see his appearance clearly.
"Great Immortal?"
Li Chaoyan and Xu Chen were stunned. They pointed at his face and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Wen Yu didn't feel anything different. He reached out and touched his face, thinking that something was on his face.
But then I thought, no one could see his appearance, so there was no possibility of something getting stuck on his face.
Even if they were really contaminated, they couldn't see it.
"What's wrong?"
Wen Yu asked curiously.
Li Chaoyan wanted to express what she saw in words, but she couldn't organize the words. She saw that Xu Chen had a cell phone in his trouser pocket, so she reached out and took the phone, turned on the front camera, and put it in front of Wen Yu.
"Daxian, your face!"
"Face?"
Wen Yu's gaze shifted from Li Chaoyan's face to the mobile phone screen.
He had long been accustomed to not being able to see himself in the camera, but at this glance, he suddenly found that he could see himself again.
His face, a face that he was so familiar with.
He had seen this face for more than twenty years, then it suddenly disappeared for a few years, and now it’s back again!
"I, I showed up?"
His gaze shifted to Xu Chen and Li Chaoyan again, "Can you see me?"
Li Chaoyan and Xu Chen nodded vigorously!
"I see it. I see it very clearly! Very clearly!"
Just as Wen Yu was overwhelmed by this huge surprise, he was thinking whether he should scream, rush up to hug the two people in front of him and jump to show his inner excitement.
Someone was already jogging up behind him: "Wenyu, Wenyu! Am I seeing right? I'm your fan. Can we take a photo together?"
Ying Tianrui caught up a step late. Just as he was about to stop the man, his eyes fell on Wen Yu's face and he was stunned -
Who are you, handsome guy?
Wen Yu is now willing to kneel down and call someone brother, let alone take photos with others.
He had a feeling that he was able to suddenly return to normal because the other party recognized him.
He is no longer the unknown figure in the entertainment industry, but an actor with his own fans.
He is no longer transparent, so he has also recovered from his transparent state?
Wen Yu couldn't understand or explain all the changes in himself. He felt like fate was playing a little joke on him.
Now, the joke is over.
"Thank you, thank you, I'm Wenyu, you're the first fan to recognize me, thank you for your love!"
Wen Yu thanked the people.
The fan was grinning so hard that his teeth were showing. He immediately introduced himself and said, "The reason I can recognize you is mainly because I compared your sight lines with Ding Ci, so I am familiar with you."
Wen Yu immediately thought of a video he had seen: "Did you make that video? I've seen it!"
When the fan heard this, he was even more surprised.
"So you've actually seen it, Brother Yu!"
When excited, even the name changes.
Wen Yu took a photo with the person and signed a postcard of "The Invisible Man" that he had specially brought for the other person.
After the excitement died down, the man seemed to suddenly remember his other purpose for coming here.
"Oh, oh, I almost forgot. I came here today for work. I'm a reporter and I want to do an interview about the movie 'The Invisible Man'. I learned that the entire creative team of 'The Invisible Man' has never been interviewed before. I'm honored to be the first one. Brother Yu, can I interview you?"
Wen Yu opened his mouth slightly in surprise. Interview?
They actually had an interview too?
"sure!"
After seeing Ying Tianrui nodding and indicating that this was true, Wen Yu immediately became happy.
Today, he is so happy!
Wen Yu, his fans and Ying Tianrui, who was still in a trance, went aside to be interviewed.
Xu Chen stood there, staring blankly, then suddenly turned around and asked Li Chaoyan: "Sister Yan, am I going to be unemployed?"
Li Chaoyan thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't think that's the case, Daxian, no, Brother Yu is still an actor, doesn't he still need an assistant? Just keep doing your job."
As for the one who should be really worried, it should be Director Ying Tianrui, who has not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.
Daxian suddenly became opaque, and there is only a little bit of tail left in their movie. How should they end it?
Great Immortal, can it still be transparent?
