One week after Valentine's Day, the shadow of "Rose Gold" can be seen everywhere, including Weibo, public accounts, short videos, and news push.
In addition to the articles written by film critics, the comments of passers-by are more straightforward and clear.
"The plot is tight, the pace of creating and resolving suspense is good, the audience is not treated as fools, the most annoying thing is that the suspense is continued to the end, which is a collective de-smarting operation." "
The colors are beautiful, the cartoon at the beginning is a bit bold, I don't understand the meaning, the shots are beautiful, you must go to the cinema to watch it, Director Mei is worthy of being a 'color artist', he plays steadily."
"It's called suspense, but it's actually love, it's called love, but it's actually finding yourself, it's worth watching twice."
"Why do you analyze it one by one, I just want to watch the love scenes? Director, give me back my tears QAQ, the killer died too tragically..."
"No matter what, it's officially recognized as a love movie when it's released on Valentine's Day, tonight is the night to shed tears for the beautiful love~"
"I give it 8 points for the action plot, it's worth watching, but the artistic aesthetics and life connotations are crazy, I give it 9.9, I'm not afraid of your arrogance."
"A sincere work, I didn't expect the director to tell a love story with a suspenseful plot."
"The big guys are furiously typing 3,000 book reviews, I only have three words: it's good!"
Of course, in the comments discussing the plot, the analysis of the actors also accounts for a huge proportion.
"I didn't understand the previous art film, but I can finally say about this film: it's too beautiful! It's so beautiful! How can it be so beautiful! Director Mei is really good at taking pictures
of beauties, right?!" "It's incredible, there are many nude shots, but I was calm and just wanted to appreciate his beauty, without any worldly desires, crying, I wilted."
"It's amazing, it's filmed so beautifully, with only love but no lust, it's especially beautiful."
Professionals also praised it highly, saying pertinently: "The success of the movie is inseparable from the portrayal of the male protagonist, and Jiang Baiyan's acting skills support the core of the whole story. He used his performance to cleanse the lust of this relationship, so that it does not become vulgar and obscene, and returns to the soul and beauty itself."
But more people don't realize it, and say in a simple and straightforward manner: "His acting is not greasy at all, and there is no feeling of close-fitting romance at all. It is recommended that he play more idol dramas in the future for the benefit of the public."
Major entertainment accounts began to release press releases, saying things like "It is said that Jiang Baiyan is the leader among the new generation of young actors, no one has any objections, right?", or "From appearance to strength, a detailed look at Jiang Baiyan's acting career."
Then there are "hard work will always be rewarded, here comes an actor with both strength and beauty", "explosive acting skills, a textbook example of a powerful idol", etc.
The success of a movie is actually the result of the efforts of many people, but what the public sees is the performance of the actors, and most of the praise and criticism are directed at the leading actors. It's
either heaven or hell.
Fortunately, Jiang Baiyan is the former this time.
The box office is rising day by day, and the official Weibo account is operating very fast. A series of beautiful pictures are immediately presented to celebrate the box office exceeding 800 million.
The light and shadow flickered, and the green plants on the balcony withered for no reason. The girl lay on the balcony, looking at the sunset in the distance. She faced the light, but her figure was trapped in the darkness.
On the other side, the killer is hiding in the shadow of the room, but the blade he is wiping reflects the sunlight, illuminating his eyes.
Comment 1: The composition is amazing
Comment 2: I have saved it as a wallpaper
Comment 3: To be honest, I want to see the nude photo in the morning
Comment 4: I also want abdominal muscles
The next day, the box office exceeded 1 billion, and the official blog posted a high-definition wallpaper again.
It was almost dawn, and the killer was exercising in the park. The door was not open, so he climbed over the wall. His hands climbed up the wall, and his body naturally jumped up. The hem of his clothes was pulled up by the force, revealing his well-proportioned abdominal muscles.
At that moment, strength and beauty were revealed without a doubt.
Comment 1: The official blog is so good at being a good person
Comment 2: I’ll go to the third post for the official blog’s understanding
Comment 3: [drooling.JPG]
Comment 4: Then…
Comment 5: The one about changing clothes…
Comment 6: Is there one?
The official blog replied: See you at 2 billion! If possible~
Three days later, it reached 2 billion.
Official blog: Almost there, the artist is working on it
Then, the artist finished the back view of the changing clothes, and it reached 3 billion.
Official blog editor: “…”
Artist: “If you keep going like this, you’ll get 404.”
Official blog editor: “Take some group photos!”
So, the 3 billion poster became a picture of the hero and heroine eating together.
Street lights, lunch boxes, stray cats, the two of them holding lunch boxes, sitting by the park, eating in silence.
Comment 1: Here comes the head pressing team
Comment 2: I am the Civil Affairs Bureau, please get married on the spot
Comment 3: Woohoo, it's too cruel, another knife
Comment 4: It's so good now, but the ending is so glassy
Comment 5: Don't spoil the plot!!
By this time, Jian Jing was a little confused.
She thought, this is just a love movie, right? She also felt that the upward trend has not stopped, and it may really go to 40.
When asked Kang Mucheng, he said: "There are no obvious shortcomings, and the advantages are outstanding, so it's not surprising."
Jiang Baiyan even said: "There have been no particularly good love movies in China for a long time."
Jian Jing thought about it and it was true. The movies that top the box office charts rarely talk about love. When people talk about domestic love movies, they still think of old movies from many years ago.
Is this what is called... hitting the pain point?
At the end of February, the box office quickly climbed to 4 billion before the new month arrived.
The Spring Festival had passed by then, and people had returned to work. It was not easy to still achieve such results. Director Mei said privately that she felt that if nothing went wrong, it might break 50.
Jian Jing's phone was called and turned on airplane mode. She quit her WeChat account and opened another small account. She only added close people and told them that if there was anything recently, they would contact her on the small account and would not use the main account.
Kang Mucheng has always been clear about public and private affairs. Not many people know his private number, so it is considered clean.
The worst is Jiang Baiyan.
He has always had a good image in the industry. When he became famous, he stopped answering other people's calls. It was a bit arrogant and easy to leave a bad impression.
"I answer the phone every day." When he video chatted with Jian Jing, his voice was hoarse, "Thank you, the award is great, it's all the director's credit, I'm just lucky..."
Jiang Baiyan mechanically recited the lines, and almost even talked in his sleep.
Jian Jing laughed to death.
"You are so lucky." He said, "You obviously didn't shut yourself up to write, but you still lied to everyone."
Jian Jing shrugged. Of course, she couldn't fly without reason, so she posted a message in her circle of friends in advance, "I shut myself up to write Devil 3, the boss is urging me to submit the manuscript", throwing the blame on Kang Mucheng and pretending that she had no internet.
"I am indeed writing." She didn't lie, "although I only wrote a few lines."
Jiang Baiyan made a face and smiled, "I saw that "Rose Gold" is on the best-seller list again, congratulations."
Jian Jing: "Congratulations."
"I made a lot of money this time." He admitted openly, "What about Teacher Jingjing?"
She: "Uh, I haven't asked yet."
Jiang Baiyan showed obvious jealousy: "You really trust Mr. Kang. He is a capitalist, why do you believe that capitalists have consciences?"
Jian Jing glared at him.
"Your Majesty, honest advice is unpleasant to the ear!" He burst into tears.
She: "Shut up."
"I want to move." Jiang Baiyan said business, "Living in this community is too private. You don't know, fans are so competitive nowadays, the rental house here is 25,000 a month, and they are all scrambling to rent it."
Jian Jing asked: "Are you being followed?"
"It must be the paparazzi watching me somewhere, I have already drawn the curtains." He turned his phone to show the curtains that were drawn tightly even in broad daylight.
"You have to be careful." She warned, "If it doesn't work, just move to another place temporarily."
Jiang Baiyan said "hmm" twice and agreed. Jian
Jing didn't care at the time, and continued to stay at home and write slowly.
In March, the movie "Rose Gold" began to advance towards May.
Jin Wu's film and television department held a celebration party, and 300,000 copies of the book "Rose Gold" were reprinted. Jian Jing's own Weibo fans have been steadily increasing.
One day, the system sent a message.
[System: Congratulations to the host for reaching a "quite famous" fame value. The limited pool opening time is shortened to 40 days. Please continue to work hard and move on to the next stage! ]
Jian Jing couldn't help but sigh. It was really not easy.
The exposure rate of writers is not as good as that of celebrities. To achieve the popularity of ordinary second-tier stars, one must be one of the best in the country.
Although she is still a newcomer in the literary world, in terms of popularity, she is no less than many masters.
What a sin.
Jian Jing humbly reflected on herself, but she couldn't suppress her joy.
Maybe, "Rose Gold" will not win a film award like "Hide and Seek", but this is a work that belongs entirely to her.
"Hide and Seek" is a spectator, "Devil" is a continuation, and only "Rose Gold" is the honor that belongs to her alone.
She proved herself.
This feeling is really...great.
She and Kang Mucheng sent WeChat: [Happy~]
In the conference room, Kang Mucheng's mobile phone screen lit up, he glanced at the message and suddenly laughed.
Childish.
Reply to her: [Do you still want the copyright fee? ]
Jian Jing: [Not paying will hurt feelings]
Kang Mucheng: [It will take some time to settle, I will give you anything you want to buy]
Jian Jing: "..."
"Um, Mr. Kang, is that Teacher Jian?" The manager of the publicity department pushed his glasses and said tactfully, "Do you want to discuss the program with her?"
She is in charge of the offline promotion of "Rose Gold". Now this movie is very popular, and several well-known programs have invited Jian Jing to participate and talk about the production of the movie with the main creative staff.
Kang Mucheng said briefly: "Wait."
He immediately asked Jian Jing about this matter.
Just upgraded to "quite famous", no matter how hard you try to appear on the show, you can't advance any further. Jian Jing refused: [Finish Devil 3 this year. Scriptwriter Xu has urged me to do so.]
Kang Mucheng said, "Forget it."
The manager turned away silently: You are not so easy to talk to when you exploit us.
Do capitalists also treat people differently?
——No.
Kang Mucheng was prepared for a rainy day, fearing that Jian Jing would slack off after receiving the dividends, so he hurried to urge (expend) (expend): [How many months can you hand in the manuscript?]
Jian Jing: [I will try to give you the first part by the end of the month.]
Kang Mucheng was satisfied: [Okay]
However, Jian Jing failed to complete the writing plan on time.
Jiang Baiyan disappeared.
At first, the agent Sister Chen couldn't contact him no matter what, and thought that the boy was crazy and killed him at his home. On the way, she was prepared for all kinds of bad events. She took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and questioning words were already in her throat.
There was no one at home.
Only Pudding was screaming miserably, and the toilet was full.
Sister Chen was shocked and immediately realized that something was wrong.
Jiang Baiyan made "Rose Gold". If there were no accidents, he might not win awards abroad, but it was almost certain that he would win the best actor award in the domestic film awards. It was not surprising that his mind was confused.
But he had no relatives. Pudding was his only family.
Even if he went out to film, he would watch the surveillance every day, play with the cat for a while, and even hired an assistant to take care of his cat.
So, he might make all the mistakes that all stars make, but he would never let Pudding's toilet be full of stinky smells, the water in the water dispenser was almost empty, and he had to rely on an automatic feeder to feed cat food.
Something went wrong.
Sister Chen immediately called Qiu Lin and asked the big agent for advice.
Qiu Lin attended a dinner last night and was still drunk. He fell on the bed in a daze. Hearing the phone call, he woke up immediately and rushed to his house.
The phone still didn't work, and the assistant didn't know where he went.
Qiu Lin found the community's security room and used both soft and hard tactics to request to check the surveillance.
The camera captured him going out the morning before yesterday, wearing a mask and a duckbill cap, with empty hands, and he looked like he would be back soon.
Sister Chen immediately said, "He should have gone to buy groceries."
She had just looked in the refrigerator, and the dried fish in the pudding were gone. Jiang Baiyan went out with only a mobile phone in the morning, and he must have gone to a nearby supermarket to buy groceries.
After that, the surveillance never captured him coming back again.
"Call the police." Qiu Lin's heart sank.
