Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry

The most important thing is that Xu Cheng himself has never told anyone that he actually starred in such a low-budget comedy movie.

If Chen Feng and An Ruohua hadn't taken the initiative to come and watch it, they might not have known that he was actually in this film.

After all, Xu Cheng was originally a well-known TV actor. Especially after starring in "Crazy Stone", his reputation has also been greatly improved. Whether in the TV circle or the movie circle, he is... He is considered a star.

And not long after filming "Crazy Stone", he received invitations from several film crews. Later I heard that he also founded his own film and television studio, which should be developing well, but why come here again now? Making a low-budget film like this?

I haven't even told anyone yet, it's like I'm secretly making extra money.

This made Chen Feng feel very confused.

Some time ago, because Chen Feng had been busy with "The Wandering Earth", he didn't pay much attention to some information and news from the outside world. Even if he occasionally glanced at it, those unimportant messages were automatically filtered out by him. .

Although An Ruohua has always been paying attention to the dynamics of the film market, the scale of "The Journey of Laughter" starring Xu Cheng is too small, even much worse than that of "Crazy Stone", so in the end, she I didn't even notice the existence of this movie.

In this way, "The Journey of Laughter" was released quietly.

And then...it actually achieved good box office results!

It's so amazing.

However, Chen Feng and An Ruohua didn't have time to think about anything at this time. The movie had already started, so they should concentrate on watching the movie first.

…

The plot of the movie is indeed very interesting. As the October 1st holiday approaches, a middle-level leader of a technology company happily prepares to go to a southern island for vacation. As a result, he meets a cook at the airport who is reporting to a hotel on the southern island. They sat together and a series of ridiculous things happened.

Due to various reasons, the two of them switched from flying to taking trains, and finally to taking buses and even riding on ox carts... In short, what was originally a wonderful holiday trip turned into a farce. The protagonist and Because of their different classes, the two cooks also choose different methods of handling things. This kind of direct comparison between characters can easily produce a lot of jokes.

In general,

The whole film was very interesting and profound, taking into account both commercial aspects and artistic quality. The most important thing is that it was very down-to-earth. Therefore, it is only natural that this film can achieve good box office results. Yes.

While watching the movie, An Ruohua laughed from time to time. It was obvious that she was also moved by the film.

Chen Feng was also very happy to see it, but besides being happy, he was more surprised and emotional.

This film is almost exactly the same as the routine of a classic comedy film he watched in the dream world, except that there are many changes in many details and the theme is different, but the overall framework is exactly the same!

This is really amazing.

Moreover, Xu Cheng's performance in this film is very good, but it is a pity that his partner is a little bit worse. Although the performance is considered qualified, it is not outstanding.

Even so, the movie is still very good to watch. The audience burst into laughter from time to time during the movie, and the atmosphere can be said to be very good.

According to this trend, the box office performance of this film may be better.

Under the attack of the two blockbusters "The Wandering Earth" and "The Eight Extremes", it can be said to be a miracle that "The Journey of Laughter" can perform like this.

This also reflects that in the current film market, film quality is the core that determines everything.

…

Even Xu Cheng himself did not expect that the film he participated in would actually achieve a counterattack at the box office.

To be honest, Xu Cheng's luck was not very good during this period. After filming "Crazy Stone", he had already begun to shift the focus of his work to movies. Unfortunately, although he became famous through "Crazy Stone" However, the few films he took on later failed to make any splash, and there were even a few films that were not released as scheduled due to various reasons.

Under this circumstance, the film and television studio he established himself also encountered difficulties in running it. In the end, he even acted in a TV series and made some money, so that he could barely survive.

However, Xu Cheng also had a strong self-esteem. When he was not doing well, he persisted in suffering and did not even ask for help from some friends with whom he usually had good relationships.

For example, Ni Hao, Chen Feng, and some of his other classmates and friends...

In the end, he even chose to make some money by filming some low-budget films.

Just like the current "Journey of Laughter".

Of course, although Xu Cheng has taken on some low-budget films, he also has his own selection criteria. Generally speaking, he will decide to participate only if the script and crew satisfy him. At the same time, he also requires that the crew must give him a certain amount of money. He has the right to speak, even including changing the script, participating in the director's filming, etc. In this case, he not only made some money, but also further accumulated the professional knowledge required for making movies.

Although Xu Cheng is in a bit of a miserable situation now, his ambition is not small.

As early as when he was filming "Crazy Stone" with Chen Feng and Ni Hao, he often looked for opportunities to communicate with various people on the crew. At that time, he actually had the idea of ​​making his own movie.

Unfortunately, the actual situation later prevented his idea from being realized.

However, Xu Cheng has never given up on his ideas. Just like this time when he participated in "The Journey of Laughter", he benefited a lot from it. Moreover, this film also magically started a box office counterattack.

This is definitely a good thing for him.

With the foundation of "Crazy Stone" and the proof of "The Journey of Laughter", it will be much easier for Xu Cheng to make his own movie in the future.

In the past, when he didn't have much successful experience, Xu Cheng also tried to find some investors and wanted others to invest in him, but at that time, without exception, he was treated coldly by others.

You Xu Cheng, a little TV actor and star, inexplicably want me to invest tens of millions in you to make a movie? Isn't this a joke?

Under such circumstances, it is surprising that Xu Cheng can attract investment.

Therefore, Xu Cheng understood a truth very early on. If he wants others to help him, first of all, he must be able to prove that he can make good results.

Without this kind of foundation, relying solely on favors may never make it far.

This is also the reason why Xu Cheng has never taken the initiative to ask others for help.

Because the more he cherishes some connections, the less he wants to consume them in advance before he has enough strength.
