98. Extra Four: After the release of "Tracking"(1/2)
"Stalking" was released in China in the middle and late stages of the Spring Festival, and it was also Valentine's Day. In addition to being a pair of popular comedies for the Spring Festival, there are also several Valentine's Day romantic films. Although Zhou Ziheng won the Silver Bear Award for this film, in such a period of looking forward to family fun, the filming of realistic sensitive themes will never have the advantage.
The theater company only gave 18% of the screening schedule on the first day of the premiere. Unexpectedly, less than 20% of the screening schedule were almost filled by fans. Even the theater company did not expect this situation. On the first day of the release, fans could not buy tickets. Many film review bloggers invited to participate in the premiere also released film reviews one after another on the day of the premiere.
There are more and more hot discussions on Weibo. The first film "Stalking" has suddenly had a reputation soaring, and the entry [watching tracking and crying when it is seen] has also topped the Weibo hot search list.
[@Whose baby I am: The tracking looks really good!! I was originally going to the Silver Bear Award and cried so much that my eyelashes and eyeliner became a dog!]
[@You're afraid you're not a werewolf: The tracking is really great. I've seen the best movie recently. The idea is profound and realistic. When I watched the previous one, I thought it was a suspense film. The atmosphere was so good. The narrative rhythm in the middle was adjusted very well. The ending was really crying. I was so tearful, but Jiang Tong wanted to cry as soon as he came out. Zhou Ziheng's acting skills were really Risby. The initial illness and weakness were completely different from the late stage of illness. It's like two people. Oh, I still want to cry when I think about it.]
[@spark: I didn't really want to watch it, but what do you think, I don't have a good impression of these two starring roles. The little sisters who were shopping together were tired of shopping and had to pull me to come and see it. I felt so good after watching it. How could Zhou Ziheng and Xia Xiqing be so good!!! I didn't get you this CP, I'll do it now!!!]
[@toxic: I feel so sad after watching the tracking. Domestic violence is really unforgivable. Many people are not worthy of being their parents! There is also AIDS. I admit that even I had a little prejudice before. I hope that this society may be more tolerant to AIDS patients in the future, and less discrimination and prejudice.]
[@博博博博: Maybe it was because he knew why Zhou Ziheng won the award. What surprised me even more after entering the theater was Xia Xiqing. I originally thought that his face was not suitable for the big screen. It was too beautiful and looked like a child who had never suffered. But when he appeared, I slapped him in the face. He was completely a little pitiful, pitiful and stubborn. The crying scene was so contagious. I wanted to cry as soon as he cried. Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
[@The First Alpha of the Universe: To be honest, I was actually Zhou Ziheng's only fan before. After he made his relationship this time, I was actually a half-skipped fan. I really couldn't accept it at first, but after the movie was released, I still couldn't help watching it. After all, he suffered so much after filming for so long, I still felt a little reluctant. I kept crying when I watched it. Ziheng was really great, never competed for it. I finally got the best actor in An Anjing Jingjing. Maybe I can't overcome this hurdle for the time being, but after watching this drama, I really can't get rid of fans.]
[@ An unusual movie blogger: When the Zero-Diandian screening came out, the girls on both sides were crying. I won’t spoil the plot anymore. I want to talk about the two starring actors. Zhou Ziheng’s performance actually made a big leap. I’ve talked about him before. He is a talented player and is also very hardworking, but he always has a barrier in his emotional scenes. He and his role are often apart, but this time there is no such thing. Whether it is Gao Kun’s socialist brotherhood with Lingling in the early stage or later stages, they are all the same.
It's very touching and deserves the award. As for Xia Xiqing, who is not a professional, I was not optimistic at the beginning, but after entering the scene, I found that he was a big surprise for this drama. He himself should have a gap with Jiang Tong, but in the theater you can't find the gap between the characters and the actors. You will find that you can't strip Jiang Tong from him. He is Jiang Tong. Maybe he is also a talented contestant? Then I think the director's casting is still very good. This film will definitely become a dark horse in this period.]
...
"Stalking" received a high box office of 220 million yuan on the same day, accounting for 34%, far exceeding the screening rate. With the continuous fermentation of reputation, theaters also quickly adjusted the screening, increasing the 18% of the premiere to 32%, and adding more games nationwide.
The two actors with the highest discussion in the whole film are the ending part.
The ending of "Stalking" is open. In the movie, Duan Jiangtong and Gao Kun were sitting by the river chatting, Jiang Tong once said that one of his dreams was to save some money to see the sea and draw a sunrise by the sea. At the end, Gao Kun's condition worsened and his life was hanging on the line. He did not directly explain whether his illness was cured.
At the end, Jiang Tong, wearing a white shirt, sat alone by the beach. In front of him was a sketching board, behind the board was the sparkling sea surface and the sunrise that was full of light. Suddenly, a tall figure came from behind, with red hair and tattoos all over his arms. Gao Kun sat quietly beside Jiang Tong, looking up at the sun at the sea level.
When the screen was black, Gao Kun's voice appeared, with only a simple sentence.
[It's great, your dream has come true.]
After its release, this ending was analyzed and discussed by the audience, especially some film review websites and question-and-answer websites. The point of debate is whether the ending is be or he.
[@ It's Pipi shrimp, not Pikachu: I stand he!!! No matter what, I stand he! My Gao Kun is healed, wuwuwuwu, babies watch the sunrise together, and you will have a brand new life in the future.]
[@Nicole Nicole: I am an unswerving party. When the sea finally came out, my tears couldn't stop falling. It's so sad. My sons, I'm obviously so kind, I need a good ending to comfort myself.]
[@Yushikezhuo: Cover your ears and don’t listen, this is he. You two will be together forever without illness or disaster, and you will live for a long time. Mom loves you!]
[@Kunlunjun: To be honest, it should be be. First of all, Jiang Tong and Gao Kun did not enter the picture at the same time. This is strange. Did Jiang Tong have been painting for so long before Gao Kun appeared? Secondly, you can carefully observe Gao Kun's condition. It is obvious that he is not seriously ill yet. His clothes and dressing were in that state at that time. He was already skinny and thin during his serious illness. Third, Jiang Tong and Gao Kun did not communicate throughout the whole process, or even had eye contact. Finally, everyone may not have carefully looked at Jiang Tong's last painting. The painting was about two people standing by the sea. If Gao Kun was by his side, he would at least look at him before continuing to draw. So I think the last Gao Kun appeared should be the soul.]
[@Xiaoyouyouyouyouyou reply @Kunlunjun: Damn are you a devil wearing a microscope???]
[@Tu Jinqi reply @Kunlunjun: I am about to poke my heart with honeycomb coal! I don’t listen to you, you are not a human!]
[@A bottle of Coke from Heaven replied to @Kunlun Jun: You said! Are you the screenwriter's trumpet!!!]
[@Tiantian Tiantian: It must be be. There is a small ebony box next to Tongtong, which should be Gao Kun's urn.]
[@Golden Beans and Silver Beans: Urn wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu
[@Bai Yiyan:@That cute screenwriter brother, come out and get beaten [Forget it, I'm a little reluctant to leave...]
[@I am Wangzai: Why is the screenwriter brother so cruel? Are you a crazy man???]
After the spontaneous discussion of netizens, [Sticking whether it is be or he] has also become a hot search. Xu Qichen's Weibo is full of messages from netizens, and a lot of blades that he wants to post but is reluctant to post. He was so amused that he had to post a Weibo post to divert his attention.
[@Xu Qichen: You can understand this ending anyway. Anyway, the reality is he.]
The most subtle thing is that the gap between reality and movies is too big. The more abuse Jiang Tong and Gao Kun are in the movies, the sweeter self-study in real life is.
On the third day of the release of "Stalking", the main creators of the crew participated in the roadshow in Beijing. Originally, they expected that there would not be too many people to come, and only prepared a medium-sized venue. Unexpectedly, the people coming were completely beyond expectations. Many viewers had no place to sit and could only sit on the aisle.
When Xia Xiqing followed Zhou Ziheng and entered the venue, she couldn't help but be surprised when she saw the crowd. When the fans saw them, their screams were almost overturning the roof. They walked to the stage one by one, with Director Kun standing in the middle, next to Zhou Ziheng, and Xia Xiqing next to Zhou Ziheng, standing on the far left.
Most of the roadshow, Director Kun was talking, and Xia Xiqing didn't get a microphone. Many fans asked Zhou Ziheng questions about the Silver Bear Awards and questions about transformation.
A girl stood up and said, "Ziheng, I remember when you were on a variety show last time, if the box office of "Stalking" exceeded one billion, you would agree to a request. Now "Stalking" is almost 800 million, and the one billion can be achieved soon. Does the wish count?"
Zhou Ziheng held the microphone and said, "Judge, but what wish do you want?"
Various sounds immediately appeared in the audience.
"live streaming!!!"
"vlog!!! I want to watch vlog!!!"
“Cooperate again!”
“On variety show!!”
"Photo Magazine!!"
"Show your love!!"
The crowd on the stage laughed. Director Kun was very good at doing things, grabbed Zhou Ziheng's wrist and said to the microphone, "Otherwise, Ziheng will do a vlog for you, and Xi Qing will give you a live broadcast of painting?"
"good!!!!!"
"Director, I love you!!!"
"The director is a self-study boy!"
Xia Xiqing patted Kuncheng's shoulder through Zhou Ziheng, "Director Kun, are you too unrighteous?"
"Why is this not righteous?" Director Kun winked at the self-study girl in the audience, "It's all my hope, right?"
The audience was so excited that he acted like Zhou Ziheng was forced to become a prostitute if he refused. There was no way. Zhou Ziheng smiled helplessly and docilely, "Then let it be. vlog and live broadcast."
"yeah!!!!!"
"The fan-loving fan-sex crew!!!"
The atmosphere was very warm, and the fans in the audience asked one question after another. To be honest, when seeing this scene, Xia Xiqing, who was standing on the stage, was in a subtle mood. He vaguely felt like he was sitting in the first row, looking up at Zhou Ziheng standing on the stage.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his face, and the bright and transparent light hit Zhou Ziheng's face in a flash. His eyelashes flashed, touching the beautiful aperture that only appeared in the dream. Perhaps it was telepathy, in such a noisy environment, Zhou Ziheng actually reacted in one second and looked at him with a tilted face.
The light was behind his head.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Xia Xiqing shook his head slightly.
He just suddenly realized that fate is really mysterious. Two people like them should have no intersection.
If the first encounter in childhood was a random event, then the second encounter at the press conference of "Seagull" should no longer be defined as a coincidence.
If there was no second encounter, if he had not appeared in that press conference, he would have always been the prodigal son who was addicted to the game of the world, and Zhou Ziheng would have always been thinking about the paper rose that disappeared in time.
Xia Xiqing couldn't believe that he was actually recalling it.
When people start to recall, what is hidden behind them is often a cherished heart.
I didn't expect that he would have this day.
The girl in the self-study study brought her own microscope. When she saw the two of them looking at each other, she immediately burst into screams from a group of marmots. She was so confused that she didn't notice that one of the masters was in a daze.
"I want to ask Xi Qing."
Hearing his voice coming from the speaker, Xia Xiqing raised his head slightly. Zhou Ziheng had already handed the microphone in front of him.
Xia Xiqing took the microphone, half-squinted her eyes and looked at the audience, and saw a girl standing up.
"Hello." He smiled politely. The girl was a little excited and pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose. "Hello, Brother Xiqing!" She reached out and patted her chest gently, trying to calm herself down.
"I want to ask you a question, why would you be willing to star in this movie?"
Xia Xiqing looked down, which was a small action he would have when he thought, "Thank you for your question. Maybe in everyone's mind, I am a controversial person. Whether it is my personality or my family background, I have no similarities with Jiang Tong. But in fact, apart from his material deprivation, I have all the experiences of the role of Jiang Tong."
He could already say this very calmly, with a smile on his face, "Filming this scene is a kind of self-analysis for me, allowing me to face up to myself in the past." After that, he looked at the director and other actors around him, "Of course, everyone has given me a lot of help."
After saying that, his eyes stayed on Zhou Ziheng for a few seconds, and the corners of his mouth bent slightly.
This stay is meaningful.
The director also raised the microphone, "A large part of the credit for Xi Qing being able to star in this movie was Ziheng. He convinced me for a long time before Xi Qing agreed to come and audition."
When the director said this, the self-study girls in the audience were all excited. Xia Xiqing was so amused that the director was completely betraying them.
The host stood aside: "Is anyone else going to ask a question?"
A boy in the audience raised his hand wildly, and the director pointed at him, "This boy in a blue sweater."
As soon as the boy got the microphone, before everyone was ready, he shouted at the microphone with great excitement, "Xia Xiqing, I love you!!"
Xia Xiqing was startled by him, subconsciously reached out to support Zhou Ziheng's shoulder beside him and laughed. Zhou Ziheng directly took away the microphone from Xia Xiqing's hand and looked at the boy below with a serious look on his face, "Sorry, I didn't hear it clearly, would you say it again?"
The boy tilted his head proudly, "Xia Xiqing! I love you!!!"
You really dare to say it...
There was a huge laughter burst out from the audience, and even the director and other actors laughed. Yang Bo held the microphone and said, "Hey! Security Guard, come!"
The boy below was scared, but the next second Yang Bo said, "Security guard quickly hold Hengheng, don't let him rush down and beat people hahahaha."
The fans below frantically turned on the ridicule mode.
Zhou Ziheng was angry and laughed, feeling that his dignity had been greatly provoked. He tried hard to maintain his cultivation as a public figure, and kept silently reciting in his heart, don’t be angry, don’t be angry, I won’t be angry when others are angry, no one will take care of the disease, and lose his temper for trivial matters...
"Xia! Xi! Qing! I-Love-You!!!"
