Chapter 825 No sense of CP
Gu Wei is actually looking forward to this Hollywood blockbuster.
The original version of "John Wick 4" has performed very well. With an investment of 100 million US dollars, it has grossed more than 400 million at the global box office. The most important thing is that it has a very good reputation. It is one of the few series in which the later episodes are rated higher than the previous ones. movie.
The plots of several movies in this series are actually very simple, and the first one should be the most impressive to domestic audiences.
To put it simply: the gangster killed the protagonist's dog, and in order to take revenge, the protagonist John Wick single-handedly destroyed the entire Russian gang.
Therefore, the Chinese translation of the movie was also jokingly called [Give Me the Dog’s Life] by the majority of netizens.
The plots of the next two films are also very different, both taking a simple and crude route.
However, the selling point of the "John Wick" series is not the plot, but the gunfight action. It is a real "Hollywood action movie."
Director Chad Starsky is a fighting coach and entered the industry as a stuntman. He once worked as a stand-in for Keanu Reeves in films such as "The Matrix 3" and later became an action figure in many movies. director.
He is uniquely talented in shooting action scenes and is good at using scenery, lighting, mirrors, glass and other props to make gunfights and fights realistic and dazzling.
Action movies have actually been on the decline in recent years. Nowadays, Hollywood and even the global film market are dominated by special effects films. The best-selling ones are Marvel superheroes, Avatar and Transformers.
The "John Wick" series is one of the rare pure action films that has achieved good box office results.
The original version of Donnie Yen's role actually received very good reviews after it was released, mainly because the fighting scenes of "Universe Dan" are so good. Whether it is the smoothness of the movements or the beauty, he has to crush Keanu Reeves. It's a pity that his There aren't really many scenes.
Now after revising the script, "Kane" played by Gu Wei can compete with "John Wick".
At that time, who will be more outstanding will depend on everyone's performance.
Gu Wei himself is actually looking forward to cooperating with Keanu Reeves.
He was still a primary school student when he watched "The Matrix", and now he actually has to star in a movie with the savior "Neo". It's quite exciting to think about it.
After reporting on "John Wick 4", Yang Liwen also mentioned the two movies and a TV series that the company will release this year.
[Surge of Crowds] is scheduled for May 14th, and the publicity activities have been launched as early as early April.
Part of the reason why Gu Wei took time off this time was to promote an upcoming movie.
[Life Events] has been filming for almost two years. Due to emotions, it was moved from last year's summer season to this year's summer season. The current tentative release date is July 30.
"[Qing Yu Nian 2] We are still communicating with several companies.
In terms of satellite TV, Mango Channel and Blueberry Channel had the highest bids, while CCTV’s eight-unit bid was lower.”
After Yang Liwen said that, Gu Wei made the decision directly.
"There is nothing to hesitate about.
The first episode of "Qing Yu Nian" was broadcast on CCTV. Although the money was a little less, CCTV's influence was not comparable to that of local stations.
For the second part, we will continue to cooperate with TV drama channels as usual.”
"Understood~
In terms of online copyright, several platforms are now bidding together.
Originally, Texun and iQiyi jointly bought the copyright for the previous film, but through recent communication, I found that Texun seems to be abandoning iQiyi in order to obtain the exclusive online broadcast rights for the second part. ”
Gu Wei nodded.
“The Goose Factory has been developing rapidly in recent years, and it’s not short of money. It’s not surprising that they want to go it alone.
There is no need to worry about this, we will cooperate with whichever platform offers higher copyright fees”
After a short stay at the company in Beijing, Gu Wei turned around and flew to Changsha with Zhang Songwen.
Joining Reba and Wan Qian at the backstage of Mango TV, the four of them recorded an episode of "Happy Camp" together as the leading actors of the "Big Crowd" crew.
In the dressing room, Reba who was one step ahead saw Gu Wei and immediately ran forward and threw herself into his arms excitedly.
Zhang Songwen, who was with Gu Wei, had no change in his smiling face. His boss was young, wealthy and romantic, so he was not surprised at all by the scene in front of him.
Wan Qian in the room looked at this scene with eyes full of curiosity and inquiry. However, she has been in the industry for many years and knows the unspoken rules in the circle. She won't talk too much about things she shouldn't ask or say.
Gu Wei patted Reba on the back and whispered: "Okay, everyone else is watching~"
Only then did Reba react, let go of her hands holding Gu Wei's neck, and stood aside with some embarrassment.
"When did you arrive?" Gu Wei asked with a smile.
"I have activities in Changsha in the past two days. It is more convenient to come here. I arrived very early."
In the dressing room, Gu and Wei sat down and chatted for a while.
Not long after, He Jiong brought other hosts of Happy Family over to say hello.
The recording of [Happy Camp] was as usual. Both Gu Wei and Reba were regular guests of Kuaiben, and the participation and interaction in all aspects were very smooth.
After the recording, Teacher He invited several people to have dinner together in the evening.
".Gu Wei, congratulations to you [Tang Detective 3] for breaking the record and winning the domestic box office championship!"
Teacher He congratulated Mr. He at the dinner table.
"Yes, Brother Wei is so awesome!
When I first started watching, it was a pity that the box office of "Tang Detective 3" stopped at 5.8 billion. It almost broke the record of "Wolf Warrior 2".
Unexpectedly, as soon as the foreign box office came out, the total box office quickly exceeded 6 billion! "Du Haitao boasted from the side.
Gu Wei smiled: "I am overtaking in a corner. I can't compete at home, so I will try to win more box office abroad. I didn't expect that [Tang Detective 3] would have a really good effect when it was released outside."
"I read the news two days ago. The total box office of [Tang Detective 3] has reached 6.2 billion yuan. How much do you estimate the global box office of this movie will be?" Teacher He asked.
Others also looked at Gu Wei curiously.
"Um
[Tang Detective 3] was not released in Europe and the United States. Although it was released in the Middle East and Africa, the box office was actually very small.
The main foreign ticket warehouses are still in Japan, South Korea and some Southeast Asian countries.”
Gu Wei thought for a while.
"These places are incomparable to those in China. I estimate that a box office of 200-300 million yuan will be enough."
"That is to say, the final box office of [Tang Detective 3] is expected to exceed 6.5 billion."
He Jiong sighed after hearing this: "Apart from the older generation Cheng Long and Li Lianhe, you are the only one in the domestic entertainment industry who has a certain reputation abroad and has such high box office appeal!"
Others nodded after hearing this.
Gu Wei smiled and said a few words of modesty.
At night, in the presidential suite of Changsha Hilton Hotel.
The soft big bed was tossed by waves, and it took a long time to calm down.
The bright moonlight shines in through the window, and Reba's delicate skin glows with a white sheen under the moonlight. If you look carefully, there are fine beads of sweat floating on it.
This shows how violent the movement just was.
Gu Wei put one hand on the other person's beautiful back, and played with the soft and graspable softness with the other hand.
“I feel a little thinner.”
"Is there any?
Maybe it’s because I have been working a lot recently and eating very little.” The blush on Reba’s fair and tender face has not faded away, her face is pressed against Gu Wei’s chest and her arms are around his waist.
After leaving it there for a long time, he couldn't help but rub his little hand back and forth on Gu Wei's abdomen, feeling his sharp muscle lines.
"It's not good to be too thin. It's more appropriate to have a little fat for your height."
"No, it's obvious when I'm on camera that I'm a little fatter. I work very hard to control my weight.
You know how much I love to eat.”
"But, no matter how thin I get, I won't lose any weight." Gu Wei teased with a smile as he exerted slight pressure on his hands.
"Really?" He said this and Reba was a little worried, and said tangledly: "Then let's get a little fatter. I will try to keep it in the range of 45 to 50 kilograms."
Gu Wei couldn't help laughing after hearing her words.
Reba also reacted and gently pinched Gu Wei's waist with her little hands: "Huh~ you will tease me"
"My fault, but you did lose weight.
I think as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle and exercise more, it doesn't matter if you weigh a little more or less.
After all, Reba, you are so beautiful, no matter what, you are beautiful! ”
After Gu Wei finished speaking, the corners of Reba's mouth slightly raised: "That's pretty much it"
"I looked at the data on the Internet. Your and Wu Lei's "Long Song Xing" has been played more than 3 billion times. The data is quite good!"
"Well~ [Long Song Xing] finally didn't pull the crotch, and the data has been very stable from the beginning to the end.
The Douban score of the TV series is 6.3, which is considered above average among costume dramas.
The audience quite recognized my performance in "Li Changge".
That’s it”
"What is it?"
Reba's mouth narrowed: "Many netizens said that Wu Lei and I have no sense of love at all. Just looking at our acting, there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that we don't look like a couple at all when we are in the same frame, but more like a big sister and a little brother.
During the broadcast of the drama, the CP topic was taken away by the male and female supporting actors.”
"Haha~"
"You laugh again!"
Gu Wei suppressed his smile and coughed lightly.
"Don't pay too much attention to the words of netizens. The real data of [Long Song Xing] are there. You and Wu Lei performed well. As for the CP, I guess it is just the idea of one person.
As for you saying that supporting actors have more CP topics, there is a high probability that they are paid by the agency behind them.”
Reba nodded slowly.
"How much box office do you think our movie can get?"
"The minimum guarantee is one billion. If nothing unexpected happens, 2 billion shouldn't be a problem!"
Gu Wei didn't say 3 billion or 4 billion was that exaggerated. "The Crowd" is just an adapted movie, and it's not scheduled to be popular like the Spring Festival or New Year. Relying on his fame to reach more than 2 billion is already a super hit.
"Hehe, it would be best if this were the case. Plus, [The Wandering Earth 2] will start filming in the second half of the year. I feel like I'm going to take off in the film field!"
Gu Wei nodded in agreement.
"No problem, when [The Wandering Earth 2] is released, the total box office of the movies you participated in will be close to 10 billion!"
He didn't mention the starring role, because whether it is in "The Crowd" or "The Wandering Earth 2", Reba's role can only be regarded as the second or even third female lead.
However, unlike other young actors, Reba is already the top popular actress in domestic entertainment. She has no shortage of fame, but what she lacks now is actual performance in her works.
[The Crowd] and [The Wandering Earth 2] can just help her make up for this.
From now on, her fans will be able to brag that their idol is a movie star, and the movies they participate in are all super hits!
The next day, the protagonist group of "The Crowd" was divided into two groups. Gu Wei and Reba flew to Zhuhai to participate in the recording of an episode of "Running Man", while Zhang Songwen and Wan Qian went to record another variety show.
[Running Season 5] In the first episode, in a large conference room in an office building, several members of the men's running team arrived one after another wearing the same style of jeans, and everyone greeted each other.
The iron triangle of Li Chen, Zheng Kai, and baby remains unchanged, and Sha Yi, who has recorded for three seasons, has become the funny person in the team.
The other three young artists are Cai Xukun, Huang Xuxi and Odada Xiwei from Gu Wei Company.
After everyone arrived, Bai Lu and Deng Ziqi appeared at the door of the conference room.
The two of them joined this issue of [Running Man] as flying guests. After greeting everyone, Sha Yi asked.
"Is everyone here now?"
"Not yet. Two members who are very familiar to everyone will join us soon." The director's voice came from outside the camera.
Everyone was a little confused.
"Familiar?
Who is it, Wang Zulan? "Li Chen said doubtfully.
"Isn't it to protect Qiang?" Zheng Kai also guessed.
No one guessed that the familiar people were the three Deng Chao who left, because all the guests who stayed behind from Running Man knew that the three Deng Chao left after a conflict with the program team. After leaving, they formed a new variety show [Five Ha], which is very likely not to happen. Will come back and participate in Running Man again.
While everyone was speculating among themselves, Gu Wei and Reba had already gotten out of the car and walked into the building where the program was recorded.
The crowd around the building screamed when they saw the two men, and the sound even reached the conference room upstairs.
"There's such a loud scream outside, who is here?" Oda asked curiously.
"I didn't see everyone so enthusiastic when I first came here," Cai Xukun, who has always been the new group favorite, said rudely.
Sha Yi walked to the window and looked down: "I didn't see anyone, it looks like he came in.
The people downstairs are so excited. How powerful are they? ”
Not long after, Gu Wei and Reba appeared at the door of the conference room.
A group of people in the back room were very surprised when they saw the two people.
The director was right, they were indeed two familiar faces.
Reba was once a regular member of the Running Man team. Gu Wei had participated as a flying guest in the earliest seasons of Running Man, and he was very familiar with the people in the Running Man team.
"Reba, I'm so happy to see you!" The baby came up and gave Reba a big hug.
"Hello baby sister."
The two worked together for two seasons of Running Man. Although at first I felt that Reba's joining was a bit stealing the spotlight from her on Running Man, but because they knew that Gu Wei was behind the other party, and everyone in the Deng Dynasty cared about Reba. , the baby has been showing goodwill to Reba on the surface, and the relationship between the two is pretty good.
"Welcome, welcome, show mercy!" Zheng Kai hugged Gu Wei. It was obvious that he was talking about tearing off the name tag.
Gu Wei rarely lost when he played Running Man before, and everyone knew his strength.
"Haha, if I let you offend me, wouldn't I look down on you?"
"It's okay, you can look down on me, I won't care.
I feel Brother Chen cares more about it, you can have a fair fight with him! "Zheng Kai smiled and dug a hole for Li Chen.
Li Chen was also surprised to see Gu Wei appear. The two were filming together some time ago, but he finished filming early and left the crew.
"Gu Wei, are you finished too?"
"Of course not, I took a few days off because of something.
I went to Tokyo a few days ago.
I have to return to the set in two days to continue filming”
Seeing other people looking over curiously, Li Chen explained: "In the past two months, I was working on a movie with Gu Wei, and the conditions were quite difficult.
You should have seen the news about Gu Wei getting injured while filming more than a month ago, right?
It's true, I was at the scene, and the gunpowder explosion blew him and Wu Jing away! ”
Gu Wei smiled helplessly: "It's not that exaggerated, okay? I've already clarified it. It's just a minor injury."
