Huayu: I'm being coveted by young actresses.

Chapter 58: The Illiterate Entertainment Industry

The most offensive example of exaggerated movie promotional materials is Zhang Yimou's classic quote from "Under the Light".

"That's what a veteran actor is like." Other film promotion teams focus on developing the audience.

Blind people watched "Three Thousand Miles of Chang'an" and "Man Jiang Hong" and teenagers recited poems in front of a large audience in the movie theater.

The marketing team for "Under the Light" developed the director and pioneered the concept of an extraordinary performance.

However, while Zhang Yimou is more than capable as a director, his acting skills are somewhat lacking in terms of emotional expression.

His acting was relatively restrained, not fully unleashed, but he made a name for himself by leaving behind a legendary meme.

……

"Although I've never been in a relationship, I have a knack for charming girls."

Gu Luojin said this without blushing or skipping a beat.

"For example, you're not wrong, it's all my fault; think whatever you want; what did you do wrong; if that's how you want to think, there's nothing I can do."

When the male audience members heard these death threats, they realized that these weren't just attempts to coax someone; they were clearly trying to start a cold war and end the relationship.

"These are all minefields and incorrect examples; they cannot be used."

The boys breathed a sigh of relief; this wasn't someone there to cause them trouble.

"Through observing how people around me date, I've come up with a universal template for winning over girls."

"I was wrong + Where I went wrong + I understand how you feel + I'll definitely pay attention in the future + Sweet compliments."

"Once you learn this, I guarantee you'll be able to win over your girlfriend."

The boys' eyes lit up when they heard this. They were glad that the Burning Technique had finally been revealed. It was worth coming to see the movie; this thing was useful.

A female fan in the audience shouted: "You don't need to comfort me. Just looking at your face is enough to soothe myself!"

If I get angry, it's definitely my problem, not yours.

This caused the entire audience to burst into laughter; having such fans is a blessing for him.

He wasn't ashamed of lying himself, but his fans' bold confessions made him blush.

Host: "It seems our male lead is very popular! We must buy lots of tickets to support his movie."

Gu Luojin immediately interrupted, "This host is no good. No wonder I haven't heard of him since."

To curry favor with capital, they chose to drag him out as cannon fodder; he's not Lu Han.

"Everyone comes to support my movie because the movie is good; you don't need to come to see the movie just for me."

"Everyone works hard to earn a living, but we entertainers have a relatively easy job, so we should take better care of ourselves."

"Take the money from the movie ticket home and treat yourself to an egg and a sausage after a long day. Doesn't that sound great?"

This wave of positive quotes was met with thunderous applause.

The disclaimer is here. As for whether someone actually watches it a second time because of him, that's not his problem.

Just when everyone thought the preview screening would be a pleasant experience, an audience member raised a pointed question.

[I'd like to ask Director Wu a question, because our film is based on the Korean film "Veteran," which is about the villains.]

In the Korean version, the role of Zhao Gongzi was played by award-winning actor Yoo Ah-in, while in "The Big Shot," the role is played by Gu Luojin, a popular but talentless actor.

My question is, Director Wu, who do you think gave the better performance? You can also let the actors themselves answer this question.

The guests in the Q&A session are usually either actors arranged by the production team or loyal fans of the actors.

One fish managed to slip through the net.

Director Wu, who took the microphone, began to answer: "I'll give you my answer from my perspective first, and then I'll let the actor himself answer your questions."

"After I obtained the copyright, I researched the character of Zhao Gongzi among many male celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry."

"From award-winning actors to young actors, I've vetted them all and discovered many high-quality male actors."

"After seeing Gu Luojin's performances in other films and television dramas, I found that this actor is very versatile and has good acting skills."

"After he appeared on my list, I kept imagining him, how handsome he was."

"If I were to play a villain, would I become ferocious and malevolent to achieve the perfect Zhao Tai effect in my mind? Therefore, I revised the script to be more down-to-earth."

"Through the film, I believe everyone has developed their own moral compass. I saw that even when the audience wasn't acting, they were saying that the performance was too bad."

"Many viewers said they were afraid to see him, because he was too hateful. I think such comments are an acknowledgment of an actor's acting skills."

Another burst of applause, as rapid as drumbeats, followed.

If Gu Luojin hadn't known the inside story and hadn't believed his lies...

The microphone was handed to Gu Luojin.

Everyone is waiting for Gu Luojin's answer, after all, everyone has seen the educational level of these young male celebrities.

I also know that Gu Luojin graduated from Beijing Film Academy. I want to see his answer, which is different from other popular celebrities. His formal training has not yet become rotten in the industry, and it has preserved the value and potential of formal training.

Those with formal training have read many books, unlike stars who debuted through unconventional means; they are well-educated.

It's not that the media is being too strict; many celebrities cheered on students during the college entrance exam period, only to be ridiculed for making typos.

For example, Meng Sanqi misspelled the character "榜" (bǎng) in "金榜题名" (jīn bǎng tí míng); He Yu wrote "不负韶华" (bù fù sháo huá) as "不负昭华" (bù fù zhāo huá).

Hu Xia wrote "ti" instead of "jinbangtiming" (meaning "to be on the list of successful candidates"); Lin Junjie wrote "haokaojiayou" instead of "gaokaoyouyou" (meaning "good luck on the college entrance exam").

Of course, they only misspelled words, which is somewhat forgivable.

Some people are genuinely illiterate and have been criticized by netizens and CCTV.

How can someone working in the arts be without culture? An arts professional without culture will make a huge fool of themselves, to the point of being laughable.

Wang Yibo quickly rose to fame with the drama "The Untamed," gaining countless fans.

But gradually, not only was his acting criticized, but his cultural level also became highly controversial.

During the promotion of "The Untamed", Wang Yibo made a lot of jokes because he misread and misspelled words.

He didn't know the idiom "to catch a turtle in a jar," and after thinking for a long time, he said "to reach out and grab a turtle"; he wrote "Lan Wangji" but couldn't write "Lan."

I wrote "I was here" but couldn't write the character "此" (cǐ), so I asked someone else, and in the end, I even wrote "游" (yóu) wrong.

The most memorable scene showcasing the film's cultural value took place during a promotional tour for the movie "Nameless".

An audience member asked Wang Yibo, "I'd like to know, what kind of person is Mr. Ye in your heart?"

"When you're shaping him and trying to present him to the audience, what do you think is the most difficult aspect of him to capture?"

After a long silence, Wang Yibo said, "Actually..."

The audience continued to ask, "If you had met Mr. Ye back then, what would you have said to him?"

Wang Yibo replied, "First of all, I don't think this question is very meaningful, and I don't want to say anything about it."

Then the fans echoed their idol, saying, "Yes, it's meaningless."

Perhaps they were afraid that if the audience asked any more questions, it would shatter their perfect fantasy about their idol.

Such a lack of substance left netizens dissatisfied, prompting CCTV.com to publish an article addressing this issue.

The title is: "Can a desperate illiterate person act well?"

"actually……"
