[Liu Yifei x Zhang Yishan, the most absurd actor partner in history, "Better Days" was questioned as soon as it started shooting! ]

Looking at the media's headlines that were watching the excitement, Wu Yuan was so happy.

Yesterday, "Better Days" just started shooting in Beijing, and today the whole network has already complained about this movie.

To be honest, Wu Yuan thinks that Li Yang's casting is reasonable. After all, he never considers popularity or commercial value when selecting actors, but only considers whether the role is suitable for the actor himself.

Li Yang has the same idea as him, so they all look for actors who fit the role as much as possible, and do not consider other factors when casting.

But netizens and fans are different.

As time enters 2011, the mainland entertainment industry has gone from the wild growth of the first decade of the 21st century to the mature development of the second decade.

Things such as status, influence, commercial value, and identity have been increasingly valued by the media, fans, and even the artists themselves.

It has become more and more normal for artists of different status to be on different platforms, and for first-line artists not to act with second-line artists.

This was something that was unthinkable in the early 2000s.

Zhou Xun won the international film queen after filming "Suzhou River" that year, and returned to China to play a supporting role for Wu Yuan, a new actor.

Chen Kun also made his debut in a movie and then went to act in a TV series with newcomer Dong Jie.

At that time, there were only a few actors who paid attention to the so-called status, such as Zhang Ziyi, and they were often ridiculed for pretending to be aloof.

Zhang Ziyi worked with Zhang Yimou when she debuted, and later only worked with big domestic and even international directors. She did not shoot TV series and did not play supporting roles. She was often complained by netizens and even passers-by, saying that she did not have the fate of Gong Li, but had Gong Huang's disease.

But now, Zhang Ziyi's behavior has become the idol of artists in the circle.

Movie stars should not act in TV series, and TV stars are not worthy of being on the same stage with movie stars.

In the first two years of the 21st century, Xiaoyanzi would still take TV series, but after she ascended to the film circle, she never took TV series again.

Even if there is no movie to shoot, she would rather keep her schedule empty and do other things, and would not accept any TV scripts, unwilling to "lower her status".

In the field of movie actors, the same is true that the best actor has to act with the best actress, the first-line male actor has to act with the first-line female actor, and the second-line male and female actors can only play supporting roles.

If you find a second-tier male actor to play with a first-tier actress and play the leading role together, then the first-tier actress will definitely be dissatisfied and even quarrel with the producer.

Now, even fans will pay attention to who their idols will play with in their new dramas.

If they are of equal status, then they will look forward to it and send blessings.

If they are of lower status than their idols, they will definitely scold them and put the blame on them first. If the movie/TV series does not perform well after it is broadcast, it must be the problem of the other actor, which lowers the level.

If they play with actors with higher status and popularity than their idols, then fans will be crazy. My XXX has ascended to a higher level and can play with such a powerful actor. It means that TA's popularity and status have reached this level. Let's praise him!

The earliest fan circle culture has gradually taken shape in domestic entertainment.

In this case, the list of the leading actors of "Better Days" was announced, and even if the opening ceremony was very low-key, it would still startle a flock of gulls and herons on the Internet.

Liu Yifei's fans are wailing. Our fairy sister's last movie was a Hollywood blockbuster, directed by Wu Yuan himself, with a production cost of 200 million yuan and a global box office of more than one billion US dollars.

This new movie has suddenly become a medium-cost mainland movie, and it is co-starring with Zhang Yishan, a child star who only has two representative TV dramas, "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" and "Home with Children".

This gap is not ordinary, and there is a kind of beauty of a billionaire suddenly begging on the street.

And passers-by are also gloating, speculating whether there is an emotional crisis between Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei, and Wu Yuan is unwilling to work hard to support Liu Yifei, so Liu Yifei's new movie only got the lowest cost movie recently in the era of light and shadow.

"Shushan" and "Soul Ferry: Huangquan", two S-level productions of the era of light and shadow, did not take her to play at all.

And Liu Yifei's black fans are even more carnival.

Hahaha, Liu Yifei was abandoned by Wu Yuan, and was immediately knocked down from the top of the cloud, returning to her own identity and status.

If it weren't for the support of Wu Yuan, an international director, she would only be able to act in movies with child stars like Zhang Yishan, and she would never be able to act with top Chinese directors like Zhang Yimou and Wong Kar-wai, or movie stars like Liu Dehua, Liu Ye, and Li Lianjie.

Young directors and actors in the industry like Li Yang and Zhang Yishan are Liu Yifei's comfort zone.

What Wu Yuan finds most funny is that these three parties are almost all pessimistic about the movie "Better Days".

Even though the screenwriter of this movie is Wu Yuan, Liu Yifei's fans think that the cast is too much of a drag on Liu Yifei and that it won't make a good movie.

Passersby think that this cast is not attractive at all. Who wants to see Liu Xing and Xiao Longnu acting together?

Liu Yifei's black fans already hate her and are even more critical of her.

All of a sudden, "Better Days" has just started filming, and it has become a movie that is ridiculed by everyone on Weibo, and market expectations have also fallen wildly.

This made Li Yang, who had not expected this result at all when casting, feel overwhelmed.

It was not easy to get another movie written by Wu Yuan. He was already under enough pressure. Now the whole network is still looking down on him. The pressure is so great that he was a little unbalanced in the first few days of filming, and the filming was very unsuccessful.

Liu Yifei, the heroine, was very indifferent to this. She has never been a person who will be influenced by public opinion. No matter what the outside world says, how much they look down on her or ridicule her, she may be secretly sad and unhappy.

But when it comes to work, she will still do her best, and will hold her breath to prove herself and shut some people up with her strength.

Liu Yifei never regards pressure as a problem, but only makes her take her work more seriously.

However, when public opinion on the Internet was so turbulent, and even speculated on a large scale whether Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei had a change of heart or had broken up, Liu Yifei could still hold her breath, but Wu Yuan could not.

In order to reduce the pressure on the crew of "Youth" and make their mentality better, Wu Yuan, who almost never speaks on domestic social media, rarely published a long blog post on his new Sina Weibo account.
