In the evening, Gu Wei and others went out for dinner together.
“.What do you mean by what Director Chen said at the premiere?”
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the atmosphere at the dinner table became better and better, and everyone chatted. More casually, Wu Jing brought up the daytime premiere.
“What else could it mean? I was feeling unhappy during the filming, so I took the opportunity to make a few remarks.
But I couldn’t break my feelings, so I could only say it in a joking tone.”
Gu Wei said casually while eating the vegetables.
Wu Dingding nodded, feeling slightly: "Actually, I don't have any objections to Director Chen himself. He is a senior in the industry, and his fame and status are there. If possible, I would like to have a good relationship with him.
It only involves the filming of the movie, if everything goes according to his ideas , in the end, the audience criticized us for the poor results."
Gu Wei said with a smile: "It's all for the sake of producing the best work. It's an artistic disagreement, so don't worry too much.
< br>Director Chen can probably think of it, today is just a small episode.”
Unlike Wu Jing's entanglement, Gu Wei didn't take what happened during the day seriously at all.
There have been rumors circulating in the market over the years that he is a domineering actor. Today's joke by Brother Chen Kai seems to have confirmed this rumor, but so what.
He has never made any bad movies, and his reputation is much better than Director Chen.
Even if things go bad today, netizens will definitely side with him and Wu Jing, not Brother Chen Kai.
"You are right. No matter what Director Chen thinks, since he is joking, let's just treat it as a joke." Wu Dingding nodded.
Gu Wei smiled and picked up the wine glass: "Here, let's drink~"
"Okay!"
The two clinked their glasses and took a sip. Gu Wei put down the glass: "Your promotion is over. I have to go to Qindao. Two days ago I was talking to Guo Over the phone.
The sets at the Oriental Movie Capital have been set up, and the preparatory work has been completed, and the filming has begun.
Now we just need you as the leading actor. Join the group"
As one of the major investors in "The Wandering Earth 2", Gu Wei has always been concerned about the film's filming progress.
Wu Jing, the male protagonist, did not join the cast, but Zhang Tianai, who played "Han Duoduo", and Dilraba Dilraba, who played "Hao Xiaoxi", did.
For them, the opportunity to participate in [The Wandering Earth 2] is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The two of them attach great importance to this movie and deliberately joined the cast well in advance.
“I’ll go over there when I’m done here.
It is said that this year has been busy since the beginning of the year. [Changjin Lake], [My Fathers and Me], and [The Wandering Earth 2] are about to start filming. I really don’t have any time to rest.”
Gu Wei patted Wu Jing's shoulder and joked: "It's better to be busy. Being busy means that you are popular, Brother Jing. Your 40s are the age to work hard for your career!" "
Wu Jing was also happy and slapped Gu Wei's hand away: "You're making fun of me, right~"
The two chatted for a while, Wu Jing thought of something and asked: "I have something to ask you."
"Whatever it is, just tell me."
Wu Jing thought for a moment: "Aren't you going to co-produce an action blockbuster with [Lionsgate Pictures] soon, starring Keanu Reeves?"
"Yes, the contract has been signed for a long time Once signed, the crew’s preparations are almost complete and filming will begin by the end of the year.”
“Well, recently some Hollywood companies have contacted me. Maybe they saw your example and they want to cooperate with me in the same way [Lions Gate] did with you.”
“Huh? Which company, what movie?" Gu Wei took a bite of the cold dish and asked.
"[Warner Bros.] is also a series of movies, the second part of [The Meg]."
"The movie [The Meg] starring Jason Statham and Li Bingbing?"
"Yes, the first part of this series of movies was actually relatively successful, taking in more than 500 million US dollars at the global box office.< br>
They also asked me to form a double male lead lineup with Jason, hoping to expand the domestic market.
Do you think I should take it? ”
From Wu Jing's heart, he definitely wanted to take on this project.
After all, it has always been his dream to become an international kung fu superstar comparable to his senior brother Li Lien Lien. However, since it was his first time working with Hollywood, he was a little unsure, so he asked Gu Wei, a veteran, for his opinion.
“I will definitely not advise you to give up. After all, I have already received an olive branch from Hollywood, and it is every actor’s dream to go international and expand his influence to the world.
However, Cooperation is cooperation. When signing a contract, you must consider everything carefully.
For example, how the movie is shot, how much say you have in the team as an investor and one of the protagonists, whether you can retain part of the editing rights, etc.
Hollywood companies hope to use us brothers. Their fame and appeal help them make money, but we can’t make bad movies either.
Just like when you took on "The Climber" before, if the director could listen to your opinions and change the play, whether the film would be finished would have a different effect."
"The Climber", which was released the year before last, can be considered a good example. Wu Jing had a small knot in his heart.
At first, it was because of the favor from Shangying.
Originally, Wu Jing just wanted to focus on being an actor, and he even practiced mountain climbing in order to make a good film.
But during the filming, he found a lot of plot problems. Question, I suggest the director delete the emotional lines between the male and female protagonists.
It’s not that Wu Jing has too many things to do. It’s difficult for an actor like him who has been a director to just be an actor when he goes to film. He will always unconsciously look at the whole movie from the director’s perspective.
Gu Wei, Jiang Wen, and Xu Zheng are all like this.
Unfortunately, Li Rengang did not accept the suggestion.
In the end, the reputation and box office of "The Climber" were not satisfactory. Many people said that Wu Jing could not survive without Gu Wei's box office appeal.
“I understand, I will consider this matter carefully when I look back!”
Gu Wei smiled: "Speaking of co-productions, I just have something to ask you for help with."
"There is no need to be polite between us brothers, just open your mouth if you have something~"
Wu Jing raised his head and patted his chest and said proudly.
“It’s not a troublesome thing. The movie [John Wick 4] I shot at the end of the year and another movie I’m preparing are looking for you to make a cameo, Brother Jing. It’s two scenes in one shot. "It's just a matter of words." Made guest appearances in each of them.
“Is there any character suitable for me in [John Wick 4]?”
Gu Wei smiled and said: “My character in this movie is called “Lin Wei”, look for You guest-starred as "Leng Feng", and at the end of the movie the two of us communicated Just make a phone call.
The main purpose is to connect with the world view of [Wolf Warrior 2] and give the domestic audience a surprise."
"Your idea is really great, what about the other movie? ?”
"The other one is almost the same.
This movie is a separate story I wrote for the character "Lin Wei". It tells the story of him going abroad to rescue his kidnapped sister. It is a bit similar to [Hurricane Rescue] .
You still play "Leng Feng", and there are two people who help me in the play. The camera mainly provides help from foreign contacts and weapons.
Similar to the role of a friend who provides logistic support to the protagonist in Hollywood action movies."
"The role of "Lin Wei" is considered to be a help. You've got some tricks up your sleeve!" Wu Jing marveled at Gu Wei's unconstrained ideas.
"When [Wolf Warrior 2] was so successful, Leng Feng and Lin Wei were also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
It would be a waste not to extend it outwards.
And I also want to use this time to follow [Lionsgate Pictures] The opportunity to cooperate will bring this film with "Lin Wei" as the The central action film universe is launched.
The second movie I told you is called "Extreme Rescue", and if there is no accident, it will be a collaboration with "Lions Gate".
The goal is to promote the film globally ”
After listening to Gu Wei's words, Wu Jing stretched out his thumb and said in admiration: "It's a big deal, and you take every step and think three steps. I hope you can succeed!"
Gu Wei said with a smile: "If my [Speed Chase] "The Killer 4" and "The Rescue" series are successful, then when Brother Jing shoots "Wolf Warrior 3" in the future, "Lin Wei" can also appear as a guest star, which will also be a surprise for the audience."
Wu Jing shook his head helplessly: "According to my current busy schedule, it is impossible to shoot [Wolf Warrior 3] in a short time."
The premiere of [Changjin Lake] The ceremony was not held in one place in the capital. According to the arrangement of the propaganda party, advance detonation venues were held simultaneously in Changsha, Shancheng, Guangdong, Bincheng, Shanghai and other places. Audiences in 33 cities watched the movie at the same time, which was an unprecedented event.

The story of the seventh interlude company is full of flesh and blood, laughter and tears, and it is very touching.
The grand scenes in the movie are quite impressive. Although the production time is tight, the special effects are super shocking.
The magnificent scenery of the great rivers and mountains of the motherland is also very beautiful.
In addition, the actors made me completely forget who they were during these three hours. In my eyes, they were the characters themselves. Wu Wanli’s growth line and the emotional lines of his brother and Lei Daddy made me choke up several times! 】
【Sure enough, Gu Wei's movies never disappoint. "Changjin Lake" is the best war movie I have seen this year!
The movie is super exciting, the war scenes are grand and shocking, and the various characters are flesh and blood.
After watching this film, I realized that our ancestors faced the cruelty of war, shed blood and moved forward resolutely, using their lives to gain today's peace and well-being. I pay tribute to these cutest people and wish for a prosperous world today. , as you think! 】
【The movie is so shocking, it truly restores the process of the Changjin Lake War, and shows the simple and tenacious spirit of the cutest soldiers.
Gu Wei once again challenged himself. There was no trace of his previous characters at all. Together with Wu Jing, he played out the respective characteristics and growth of the two brothers Wu Qianli and Wu Wanli. It was great! 】

Starting from the third place, [Big Ear Tutu: Tyrannosaurus Rex in Action], [Eagle Catching Chicken], [Pipilu and Lu Luxi: Canned Villain] all only had a few hundred on the first day Ranging from 10 million to 10 million, it is basically an embellishment for the National Day stalls.

[The Storm Chaser] crew, in the lounge, Wang Churan was scrolling on his mobile phone. Gu Wei asked.
"It's almost the same. With [Changjin Lake]'s current box office trend exceeding 6 billion, there should be no problem, but it's hard to say whether it can catch up with [Tang Detective 3]'s 6.2 billion."
Original Time and Space [Changjin] Lake] has a total ticket sales of 5.7 billion. Although the higher the box office, the closer it is to the ceiling of the mainland market, it is not too difficult for this version of Gu Wei to exceed 6 billion.
"Unfortunately, it is unlikely that this subject matter will get any box office abroad, so we can only rely on the domestic market."
Gu Wei smiled and said: "The domestic market is enough. When this movie was shot, It has been cut into two parts, and there is still one movie "Watergate Bridge" that has not been released.
