Chapter 3: Box office exceeds 1 billion!
After sending Ruan Qi to the "Blade" crew, Shen Wenqian returned to the company with his knife sharpened to deal with Dong Qicheng and Yao Xue.
Although we took a five-day vacation, the atmosphere in the crew was still very good and there was no sense of unfamiliarity between everyone.
Ruan Qi brought Mo Lan and a few others into the dressing room amidst everyone's greetings.
In the dressing room, several leading actors were chatting and laughing while putting on makeup. When they saw Ruan Qi come in, they all turned to look at her.
"Xiao Qi is here?" Zhan Rong, who had just put on foundation, greeted with a pale face.
Ruan Qi smiled and waved her little paws.
"Brother Zhanrong, Brother Jiaming, Sister Xiaoai, long time no see!"
Wei Jiaming, a fellow apprentice and TV King, held up his thermos cup and shook his head jokingly, "It wasn't that long ago. We just met a few days ago."
The Daxian store was very busy a few days ago. When they couldn't find any staff, Ruan Qi asked Wei Jiaming to go to the Jianghu to help out.
For the sake of his junior sister, the highly-known Emperor Wei volunteered in the Daxian store for a whole day, wearing a mask and a baseball cap, taking the risk of being recognized.
Ruan Qi couldn't help laughing when she thought of Wei Jiaming, who was so busy that day that he looked desperate.
Zhan Rong, who was putting on makeup, glanced at her in the mirror and said with a smile, "It's not been that long since we last saw each other. We just met at the premiere of 'Tianya' the day before yesterday."
The second female lead, Su Ai, raised her eyebrows slightly in dissatisfaction.
"Is it because I'm the only one who hasn't seen Xiao Qi these past few days?" She pouted unhappily and looked at Ruan Qi with an accusing look on her face. "Xiao Qi, darling, have you forgotten me just like that? Have you forgotten the days when we were trained like dogs by Instructors Bo and Xi in the Tiger-Lion Special Forces?!"
Su Ai was talking about the time before the filming of "Blade" started, when several leading actors received special training in the special forces.
Ruan Qi would certainly never forget such an unforgettable day.
She looked at Su Ai, who was possessed by the spirit of drama, with a look of laughter and tears, and tried to stroke her hair with a very good temper: "Sister Xiao Ai, I like you the most. This is the beef jerky I brought from home, for you to eat~"
The little girl took out a large bag of beef jerky that Xi Jiu had prepared for her from her backpack and stuffed it all into Su Ai's arms out of loyalty.
Su Ai's cloudy sky immediately turned sunny, and she smiled like a fool while holding the beef jerky.
Ruan Qi took out two more bags and handed them to Zhan Rong and Wei Jiaming. For a moment, the dressing room was filled with the aroma of handmade beef jerky.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Su Ai ate beef jerky and bowed to Ruan Qi and Zhan Rong. "Congratulations! The box office of 'Tianya' is booming!"
Wei Jiaming also nodded in agreement: "Within three days of release, the box office has exceeded 1 billion. I went to the cinema to see it, and 'The End of the World' is really good. I think by the time 'The End of the World' is released, the box office of 5 billion will definitely be unstoppable."
The box office exceeded 1 billion in three days. Such a result is definitely outstanding in the film and television industry, which has shown signs of fatigue in recent years.
"Tianya" was released the day before yesterday, and until seven o'clock this morning, topics about it have never left the top ten of Weibo's hot search list.
The male lead Zhan Rong, the female lead Zhang Yinghou, and the third female lead Ruan Qi became the biggest beneficiaries of this movie besides director Wu Huai.
Zhan Rong had just won the Best Actor award, and this movie "The End of the World" solidified his position as the Best Actor and it can no longer be shaken.
The female lead, actress Zhang Yinghou, played Narcissus. Although her image was somewhat stereotyped, she still won the favor of a large number of passers-by and fans with her superb acting skills.
Ruan Qi, the third female lead, is the most unexpected dark horse in the entire movie.
Her role as Madam Yu was extremely impressive in terms of character development, storyline, and acting skills.
So, how popular is this character?
——It was so popular that Qin Qingdi, the president of Ruan Qi’s fan club, started to personally verify new fans joining the group.
There's nothing we can do. We don't have enough staff and we're too busy.
In response to Wei Jiaming and Su Ai's congratulations, Ruan Qi and Zhan Rong both thanked them very humbly.
After a few people finished putting on makeup, director Jian Guoqiang started howling on the set with a loud speaker again.
Suddenly, everything from Lady Jade to "Tianya" was put aside, and Ruan Qi once again became the poor little girl who was scolded eight hundred times a day by the director.
…
Five days passed in a flash.
Under Jian Guoqiang's inhuman torture, the few pounds of meat that Ruan Qi had worked so hard to raise with Ruan Munan and Xi Jiu once again said goodbye to her.
Even Xi Xi, who had undergone the Xi family's martial arts test, felt that life on the "Blade" crew was really not a living hell.
The little girl spent her days either rolling in the mud or crawling around in the blasting. She was covered in wounds every day, and on average, she would use up a bottle of medicated oil every two days.
It's okay to be physically tired, after all, Ruan Qi is a martial artist and his physical endurance is stronger than that of ordinary people.
But the most torturous thing is that not only does she have to film during the day, but when she finally lies down in bed at night, she has to enter the system to receive training in the actor's advanced training course.
The virtual teachers within the Baili system weren't like Jian Guoqiang and Wu Huai, who would use their experience and methods to coach the actors. These virtual teachers would simply tell you over and over again that your performance wasn't up to standard. But they couldn't explain why, why, or how to improve it.
Therefore, everything depends on Ruan Qi's understanding.
If you can figure it out, move on to the next lesson. If you can’t figure it out, just hold it in.
Even Ruan Qi, a soft little rabbit like her, was almost going insane from holding it in.
There were several days when she even wanted to hug Bai Li and die together with these worthless teachers.
However, in the hellish devil training, the little girl's efforts and gains are proportional.
Her acting skills broke through the bottleneck at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the devil director Jian Guoqiang couldn't help but praise her rapid progress.
Then, Director Jian was so happy that he waved his hand and gave her half a day off.
Ruan Qi, who was pardoned, was helped back to the hotel by Mo Lan.
As soon as she walked into the room, she stuck out her little butt and got into the bed.
The softness of the Simmons mattress instantly relaxed her body, and the little girl couldn't help but hum like a kitten.
"The bed is still more comfortable..."
Mo Lan, who was packing things on the ground, glanced at her, and a faint smile flashed across his indifferent eyes.
"Director Jian gave you half a day off. Do you want to go home?"
"Hmm..." Ruan Qi shook her head lazily. "No, I'm not going back. I'm going to take a nap and give Xiao Jintian acupuncture at Yu's house at three in the afternoon."
…
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Ruan Qi, who had just had a good sleep, showed up at the Yu family villa on time.
Even though Sheng Kuang was not present this time, the Yu family members were the first to come out to greet them warmly.
"Ms. Ruan!" Yu Yurong's wife Lin Zhi was a little excited.
She always paid attention to her manners, and she didn't even bother to change her slippers. She walked out of the yard quickly, took Ruan Qi's hand affectionately, and said, "Miss Ruan, I finally got you here. Xiaotian he... Xiaotian he..."
Lin Zhi was so excited that she was a little incoherent. Ruan Qi patted her hands soothingly and said slowly, "Tell me slowly, what happened to Xiaotian?"
"Xiaotian has recovered remarkably well!" Lin Zhi finally spoke her mind, her eyes reddening. "I never thought he would recover so well! He's gained five pounds in less than two weeks, and his headaches rarely go away. Miss Ruan, this is all thanks to you. Thank you! Thank you!"
