Chapter 823 New Movie and Arrival in Tokyo
Clara did not stay on the crew for too long, mainly because Gu Wei was too busy filming, and the frequent night scenes made his rest time very irregular. Clara herself There's no point in staying in a hotel.
March passed quickly, and the crew of [Changjin Lake] moved to the next filming location.
This movie was shot in two parts together. So far, the scenes of the upper part [Changjin Lake] have been almost filmed, and the crew is ready to start shooting the scenes of the second part [Shuimen Bridge].
The main director also changed from Lin Chaoxian to Xu Ke.
"Congratulations, [Long Song Xing] broadcast results are very good!"
In the hotel room at night, Gu Wei and Reba were making video calls.
The other party’s new drama [Long Song Xing] will be broadcast simultaneously on Tengxun Video and Ludong Satellite TV at the end of March. The current statistics of the TV series are very good. Although it is not a big hit, it is definitely a hit. Got to be a hit.
“Fortunately, the ratings, online broadcast volume and Internet popularity are pretty good now. I hope that this momentum can be maintained until the TV series is finished.”
Reba is wearing the clothes in the video. Wearing a loose and baggy light gray pajamas, with a facial mask on her face, the background is also in a hotel.
"Are you still filming [Changjin Lake]?"
"Yes~"
"I remember you joined the group at the beginning of the year, it's been three months."< br>
“This movie is divided into two parts. We shot it together, so it will naturally take a long time.
I estimate that it will take about six months to complete.”
"You haven't been injured during filming recently, have you?"
Reba still remembers Gu Wei's injury last month during filming. She was very worried after seeing the news and called him as soon as possible.
Fortunately it was just a false alarm.
"No, the previous one was an accident, and it was just a skin injury."
"Anyway, you have to pay attention to your body. Although work is important, your body is fundamental!"
>
Seeing Reba's serious concern, Gu Wei smiled.
“I see~
I feel like you have become a lot more verbose now. I remember that Reba you were very shy when we first met.”
Reba listens Gu Wei didn't get angry when he said this. He took off the mask from his face, raised his hand and patted his face to speed up the absorption of moisture.
“Hmph~
It’s too late to know my true face now, you can’t escape from my grasp.”
After saying that, she let out a funny laugh.
Reba’s true character is actually very special. Cheerful, she would make little jokes from time to time when she was with Gu Wei in private, which was in sharp contrast to the dignified persona of the red carpet goddess
"Waiting for the promotion work of [Long Song Xing] during this period. It's over, shall I go visit you? "Reba asked after the two joked for a while.
Gu Wei thought for a while.
"[Changjin Lake] The crew moved to the Northeast. The shooting conditions here are more difficult than before, and the temperature outside is very low. It is not a good choice for you to come here.
[The Crowd] has been scheduled for five In March, before the movie is released, I will take some time off to promote it, and then we will naturally be able to meet each other."
The movie "The Crowd" filmed last year, in which Reba played a couple with Gu Wei, She will naturally be there to promote the movie before its release.
“Okay~”
Gu Wei did not lie to Reba. The shooting conditions for the crew of [Changjin Lake] were really difficult after they moved to Dandong.
The location layout and facilities for various crews have not changed much. The main difficulty lies in the weather.
[Changjin Lake] is a fully real-life shooting, and it is located in the northeast, so the weather is much colder than that in Zhejiang Province.
We filmed night scenes at night, with temperatures as low as 20 to 30 degrees below zero. The actors suffered a lot while filming in this environment.
“Ka! This time is good, passed!”
Xu Ke’s voice came from the loudspeaker, and the staff outside the venue rushed in to cover the actors who had just filmed. Put on your coat and hand over a hand warmer.
"Are you okay after being hit just now?"
Gu Wei put his hands into the hand warmers and asked Wu Jing beside him.
Tonight it was very windy outside and the temperature was lower than usual. I just filmed a shooting scene with a gun. As a result, Wu Jing’s hand holding the gun was frozen and he couldn’t hold the butt of the gun. Hit him directly in the face.
“It’s nothing, but it really hurts when I was hit just now.
It’s too cold today, and the wind is really strong today.
My body is fine, but my hands and face can't bear it.
Especially with a gun in his hand.”
Of course they can’t wear gloves when acting, and the prop gun is made of iron and is extremely cold in this temperature.
Gu Wei nodded, looked up and looked around with emotion.
"We are filming, and the costumes we wear are thickened military uniforms. Although it is cold here in Dandong, it is better than North Korea.
I think the conditions that the volunteers were in were countless times worse than they are now, but they still won the war.
The hardship and sacrifice involved are unimaginable."
Wu Jing, who had recovered a bit, raised his hand and patted Gu Wei's arm, an ugly smile on his frozen face.
“So we have to make this movie even better , so that everyone can see the dedication and sacrifice of the ancestors.”
The Spring Festival release of [Better Days, Li Huanying] created a box office myth. Although it failed to achieve the exaggerated score of 5.3 billion in the original time and space, it still The final box office also exceeded 4 billion
As a low-cost comedy film, [Li Huanying]'s producers BJ Culture, Ruyi Film and Television, and Maoyan Culture made a lot of money.
The film's director and starring Jia Ling also became famous, leaping from a comedian to a major comedy film director.
After "Li Huanying", starring Shen Teng's personal box office has officially exceeded 20 billion, becoming the most popular comedy star in the industry.
The word "containing vine content" has gradually been accepted by the audience and has become a symbol of Shen Teng's personal box office appeal.
In recent years, due to the rapid increase in Shen Teng's influence, many projects related to Happy Twist like to ask him to make a guest appearance.
Regardless of the effect, at least Shen Teng can use Shen Teng's signature when promoting it, which will contribute a lot to the box office.
After the screening of "Hello, Li Huanying", there was such a movie released, the comedy movie "The Sun Never Sets on Hotel" starring Huang Cailun.
However, this movie is purely using Shen Teng for fraudulent marketing, and it is a complete bad movie.
During the promotion, Shen Teng was mentioned in the name, but as a result, Shen Teng did not appear in the movie from beginning to end. He only appeared in the form of a paper man for 2 minutes, and contained zero Teng.
As an actor in Happy Twist, Huang Cailun himself does not have a very high talent, but he seems not to realize this.
Netizens who have watched him in "Happy Comedian" and other related variety shows before have reported that his performance style is: when he makes others laugh, the audience does not laugh, and he laughs first.
This point has already been reflected once in the Waterloo work "Li Cha's Aunt", which is called a happy twist.
Once Huang Cailun and Shen Teng are set off, everyone can understand that there is a reason for a person to be popular, and there is a reason for a person not to be popular.
With the lessons learned from the movie "Li Cha's Aunt", most viewers will naturally not jump into the fire pit to watch "The Hotel The Sun Never Sets" again.
At the same time, the mainland film market also released the Hollywood special effects blockbuster "Godzilla vs. Kong" and the feature film "My Sister" starring Zhang Zifeng.
As a key film in the Monster Cinema Universe, "Godzilla vs. Kong" has done quite well at the box office. It earned 430 million in the first three days, and the subsequent box office quickly exceeded 1 billion.
And Zhang Zifeng became famous after starring in "Young You", and is already the post-00s actress with the most box office appeal in domestic entertainment.
[My Sister] once again proved her strength. While it received a good reputation, it also achieved a bumper harvest at the box office. Although it failed to surpass [Godzilla vs. Kong], it still received more than 900 million at the box office. score.
“Brother, thank you for helping me promote the movie!”
“Don’t be so polite to me.”
Gu Wei, who was filming on the set, received a call from Zhang Zifeng. The little girl whose movie was a hit was obviously very happy. After "My Sister" was released, Gu Wei helped Zhang Zifeng promote it on Weibo and Douyin, which was more or less useful.
“It’s time to go back to school after the road show, right?”
“Well, I’ve already gone back.
But in a few days [Longing for Life Season 5] started recording, and I had to leave again”
"Haha, with a star student like you, your acting teacher must be both happy and helpless~"
"Haha, brother, you should be almost the same as me when you were in school, right?"
Gu Wei He was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "It's true, I might be even more extreme than you. I barely attended a few classes in school after my freshman year.
Fortunately, I gained some fame outside at that time. The teachers are easy to talk to.
Who is your class teacher?”
“Mr. Useful knowledge"
"Then if I tell you your name, won't you be able to walk sideways in the class?"
Gu Wei said helplessly: "You are a big star yourself, why don't you tell me my name? Name?
Which teacher or classmate in school can't treat you differently?
Besides, Zifeng, you are now the Golden Rooster Queen. Many teachers in the school must be under pressure when teaching you. After all, most of them have never won such a big award."
" Haha~" Gu Wei's words triggered a burst of laughter from Zhang Zifeng.
"By the way, brother, will you come to [The Longing for Life] this year? "
"Peng Peng and you four are still the regular guests this year, right? "Gu Wei asked.
"Well, it's still the four of us, Mr. He, but with the addition of a new guest, Zhang Yixing."
Gu Wei thought for a while: "It's not decided yet. My new movie will be released next month. It may be." Go to [Longing for Life] to promote it.”
“Great, brother, you are here again. There is a new movie coming out, and I will do my best to help you promote it then!”
“Haha, I’ll thank you in advance.”
In early April, [ "Detective Chinatown 3" was finally released, with the final domestic box office set at 5.86 billion yuan.
The final box office of the movie still failed to surpass "Wolf Warrior 2", ranking second in film history.
Liwen Yang and Zhao Mingcheng in the company also suggested that they should boost the box office so that "Tang Detective 3" can take the number one spot in film history.
But Gu Wei rejected it.
The central character of [Wolf Warrior 2] is Wu Jing, but he also invested in and starred in the movie. Both inside and outside are his own movies. There is no need to falsify for the sake of fame.
And starting from April, [Tang Detective 3] will be released in Asia, the Middle East, Africa and other countries.
Although the domestic box office is slightly behind, it is not a problem for "Tang Detective 3" to surpass "Wolf Warrior 2" at the global box office.
Not to mention the Middle East and Africa, it is not a problem for Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asian countries led by Thailand to contribute a box office of 3.5 billion yuan.
On April 15, Gu Wei’s plane landed in Tokyo.
This trip to Japan to promote [Tang Detective 3] was arranged in advance. The local partner Toho Co., Ltd. began to hype Gu Wei's arrival half a month ago.
Tokyo International Airport is already crowded with people.
Young men and women gathered together. Some held up light signs with Gu Wei's name on them, some held his movie posters, and several others pulled off eye-catching welcome banners together.
Everyone stared at the passage out of the airport, waiting for the long-awaited figure to appear.
"Is there any head of state coming to Tokyo today? Why are there so many people at the airport?"
A middle-aged male passenger who had just checked in his luggage and had a bald head was confused and looked at This group of exaggeratedly numerous fans was very confused.
“These are fans, picking up celebrities at the airport,” a friend explained.
"What star can have such a big pomp? Cheng Long?"
For the previous generation of Japanese, Cheng Long was an absolute Asian superstar. He was already popular in Japan in the 1990s, but back then His fans have all grown old, and their focus in life has shifted to work and family, so they are less likely to chase stars.
The friend raised his head and motioned for him to look at the poster over there.
"Gu Wei, an actor from China, he has been very popular in Japan in recent years."
The bald man suddenly understood.
"I've heard of this name. He seems to have acted in the TV series my wife watched before.
Is this Gu Wei so popular in Japan?"
The friend nodded.
“He is very popular among young people, no less popular than Cheng Long back then.
I heard that a movie starring him will be released in China in the next few days.”
Saying this, the bald man understood how popular Gu Wei was, but he still shook his head.
“I think it’s better for young people to like some stars from our own country. After all, they are Chinese and I won’t watch his movies.”
My friend looked at him: "I saw the promotion, and the main actors in that movie are all from our country, and the heroine is Yui Aragaki"
Bald The man's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Ahem, it's not impossible to look at it with a critical eye. There is always something good about the other party that makes so many young people like it. It just so happens that I haven't watched a movie for a while."< br>
Aragaki Yui is known as the "national wife" in Japan. According to a media survey of Japanese actresses who most want to marry her, Aragaki ranked first.
She is quite famous among Japanese otakus and middle-aged men.
Not long after, the figure that fans had been waiting for finally appeared at the exit.
The moment they saw Gu Wei, all the young men and women at the scene were boiling with excitement, bursting out with unparalleled enthusiasm. The deafening screams resounded through the airport hall, almost breaking the roof of Tokyo Airport.
"Ahhh, Gu Wei! Gu Wei!"
"Onii-chan is so handsome!"
"Gu Wei, I love you, I want to give you a monkey!"
"."
Fans from all directions went completely crazy the moment Gu Wei appeared, and screaming loudly was not enough to release them. Their excitement surged towards Gu Wei's direction one by one.
Fortunately, the security at Tokyo Airport is very good. Not only are isolation barriers set up, but uniformed security personnel are also on three levels inside and three outside to surround Gu Wei and his group in the middle, ensuring that any fans None can reach him.
Gu Wei didn't panic when he saw this situation. He was like this the last time he came to Tokyo.
Wearing sunglasses and smiling, he greeted the fans around him and said "Hello everyone~" in Japanese. He quickly walked out of the crowd of fans and got into the nanny car that came to pick him up at the airport.
In addition to the fans who came to pick us up at the airport, there were also many locals who came to stay in advance.
Some were arranged by Toho Co., Ltd., and some came on their own after getting the news.
Since it is a movie promotion, Dongbao must maximize the use of resources. The promotion of the movie started from the moment Gu Wei landed.
The grand scene of fans picking up the plane at Tokyo Airport quickly appeared in major entertainment media in Japan.

Japanese local media are accustomed to using medium and exaggerated headlines, but generally speaking, the reports on Gu Wei's arrival are very positive.
On the one hand, the partner Toho Co., Ltd. is the number one film company in Japan and has already made good preparations in terms of media.
On the other hand, [Tang Detective 3] was filmed in Tokyo, and most of the main characters, including the heroine, are Japanese actors. The entire plot is also very friendly to Japanese people, so it is naturally popular. Popular with locals.
