As the time comes, students return to school and devote themselves to their study and life in the second half of the year, and this year's summer vacation has also come to an end.
[Speed Chase 4] One month after its release, the global total box office officially exceeded US$1 billion.
The North American market was 304 million, the domestic market was 470 million, and the total box office of other countries except China and the United States was 237 million.
This is not the final box office.
Due to schedule issues, some countries' movies will be released later, so the total box office is still growing.
However, the two largest markets in the world, China and the United States have reached their limits, and European, Japanese and Korean ticket stores have also passed the hot screening period. The media predicts that [Quick Chase 4] may exceed US$1.1 billion after a long-term screening, but this is all That's it, there won't be much growth.
This summer, [Quick Chase 4] can be said to be the hottest movie in the world, no doubt about it.
In addition to selling $1 billion in box office, this movie has a very good reputation.
【IGN】Called the film as a "master work of contemporary action movies", and believed that its action arrangement, audio-visual effects and character portrayal have reached the top level!
[Hollywood Reporter] commented on the film "larger, hotter, bolder", redefining the possibility of action movies through complex dramatic tension and multiple climax scenes.
【ThePlaylist】Called the film "full of pure power", Keanu Reeves put an epic end to the series through "amazing action scenes and character depth", and Gu Wei's performance is "three-dimensional and beyond expectations" and his action scenes are more series Inject new vitality.
【Guardian】Praise director Chad Starsky for accurately controlling the rhythm, making the last three hours of films without any redundancy, and praises Gu Wei as the "big highlight of the series". His character LIN combines humor with martial arts, breaking the stereotype of Chinese actors in Hollywood.
In addition to the media and film critics, [Speed Chase 4] also has a very good reputation among the audience. When you open the Rotten Tomato platform, there are almost all the praises below the movie.
This movie is even more popular in North America than in China.
【Speed Chase 4】A big seller in the world is a win-win situation.
While the main control investor [Liongate Pictures] made a big profit, he also gained a series of movies that can be compared with top IPs.
Keanu Reeves became popular again with this movie. After [The Matrix], he left behind a classic character "John Wick" that is worth remembering by the audience.
Gu Wei, who is still a newcomer in Hollywood, was at his peak when he debuted and left a deep impression on everyone with an action blockbuster that sold $1 billion worldwide.
Of course, in addition to increasing its international popularity, the one who impressed Gu Wei the most was probably Hollywood film and television companies.
The success of [Speed Chase 4] allowed everyone to see his unparalleled box office appeal in the Chinese market.
In addition to [Liongate Pictures], other companies have also submitted olive branches to him, hoping to have the opportunity to cooperate together.
Hainan, [Extreme Rescue] crew.
". There is no suitable notebook, just reject it!"
During lunch break, Gu Wei shook his head when he looked at some new movie invitations brought by his agent Yang Dan.
The scripts he received now are also sent from Hollywood in addition to China.
Most of them are B-level films, who are purely attracted by Gu Wei's box office appeal and want to use his influence to make a fortune in the Chinese market.
There are also real big productions, but they are just some supporting roles, and the roles are not very heavy, so he doesn't like them.
The two chatted for a while, and a knock on the door came from outside the RV.
The door opened, it was Yang Chaoyue and Tian Xiwei. "Sister Dan, are you talking about work with your boss?"
After coming up, Yang Chaoyue saw Yang Dan at first sight and walked over to her and hugged her arm.
As Yang Chaoyue’s former colleague and Si, Yang Dan is her best friend in the entertainment industry.
When she was a little assistant, she had been helping her and taught her a lot of things.
When Yang Chaoyue became famous, he became a popular artist. When he encountered some difficult problems that he would not be able to deal with, he would ask Yang Dan for help.
"It's some work~"
Yang Dan looked at Yang Chaoyue with a gentle smile, and then greeted Tian Xiwei.
"Sister Dan~"
Oda politely greeted Yang Dan.
"Chao Yue and I didn't disturb you, right?"
"No, we've finished talking.
Boss, then I'll go out first."
After returning to Xiaotian, Yang Dan said to Gu Wei with great gaze. Seeing the boss nodding, he turned around and left the RV.
"You two two Why are you here for me?
Chaoyue, I remember that the first scene in the afternoon was your scene. Shouldn’t you put on makeup now? "
Gu Wei asked to the two of them.
"Director Wen said that the first indoor scene of Mr. Wu Zhenyu was filmed in the afternoon, and my scene was pushed back."
After entering the door, Yang Chaoyue sat casually on the sofa on the side of the RV, left and right. Take a look.
"Boss, your RV is better. It's big and cool. Hainan is so hot!"
Gu Wei smiled: "You don't have a RV, why? The air conditioner in your car is not easy to use? "
When filming, the leading actors and big-name stars in the crew will basically have RVs, and some are provided by the crew and some are brought by the stars.
Yang Chaoyue is now considered a top star, and the company will naturally match her with something like a RV. "It's easy to use, but my RV is not as big as yours, and there are so many luxurious decoration functions!
Right, Oda?" After Yang Chaoyue cues, Tian Xiwei had to smile and nodde with a smile. .
She noticed the piles of scripts on the table in front of Gu Wei and glanced at it.
"Boss, are these all the scenes for you?"
Gu Wei nodded.
"Yes, they were all recently sent invitations~"
"So many, and there are many English scripts."
Oda noticed the top of the page A book called [CaptainMarvelII].
"【Captain Marvel 2】?
Boss, Marvel is asking you to film?"
Gu Wei picked up the script after hearing this: "I sent me an invitation, but this character Marvel is I know that I'm most likely not to take it, just try my luck."
"What role?
[Captain Marvel] I have watched the first part, and the man with the most role except villains It's that bald black man.
What roles can be given to the boss in the second part? "Yang Chaoyue asked curiously.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one book, one bar, one bar, one bar!
"Aladna Planet Prince Yan, comic Zhong is Captain Marvel's husband.
In the second part, this character will appear and have some interaction with Captain Marvel, but there are not many scenes. "Gu Wei explained. "Well, although I thought Carol Danvers was very handsome when I looked at [Captain Marvel], you really don't match her with the boss.
If you two play a couple, it would be quite weird to think about it."
Yang Chaoyue looked at Gu Wei's handsome face and recalled the appearance of Captain Marvel in Marvel movies in his mind, thinking about the two of them talking about love. , quickly shook his head and threw this idea out. "It's so unmatched! "
Oda also nodded.
Gu Wei was happy: "What are you thinking? Let's not talk about the character design. Marvel had invited me to play [Shangqi] before, I didn't agree , how could he match Captain Marvel!
And [Captain Marvel 2] is a bad movie in itself.
Three heroines, the white female "Captain Marvel", the new Asian character "Magic Girl" and the black female hero "Captain Rambo".
This casting is purely a compromise made by Marvel to cater to Hollywood's current political correct trend, and is likely to want to replicate the success of [Black Panther].
But after reading the script, I found that the storyline was just a lump, and it couldn't be more bad! "
"The only boss is the only one who can say no to Hollywood movies, especially such super-brand movies.
If other stars know that you have rejected so many Hollywood invitations, they will be jealous! "
Tian Xiwei sighed.
"Hollywood is nothing, don't put them in as high as they think.
The world is full of money for profit. The purpose of Hollywood film companies is to make money, which is no different from ours.
If it weren't for their global distribution channels, I wouldn't have received it [Speed Chase]."
After saying that, Gu Wei looked at Tian Xiwei: "By the way, Xiaotian.
The movie [Qingqing Daily] that you finished filming last month, Mr. Yang told me when he was in the company that you performed very well on the set. Yes, the director and producer have a high opinion of you! "
"Is that so? I feel that I am acting well, not particularly good."
Hearing Gu Wei's praise Oda scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
"Brother Wei, when will [Qingqing Daily] be broadcasted?"
Gu Wei thought for a while: "Your drama is a key project for iQiyi this year, and it is still in post-production. The platform plans to release it at the end of this year or early next year."
It's just A with the original version. The production is different. Today's [Qingqing Daily] is an S-level drama on iQiyi.
The male protagonist Xiao Zhan and the female protagonist Tian Xiwei, these two names alone can attract many fans to watch, and the platform will naturally pay more attention to publicity. "Boss, do you think Oda's drama can be popular?" Yang Chaoyue asked as he listened to the chat between the two.
Tian Xiwei also waited for Gu Wei's answer with his eyes wide open.
Their boss's vision is recognized as good in the circle, and almost all the movies and TV series he watches will succeed. "Yes, I've read the script of [Qingqing Daily], a very interesting drama, and the heroine's character is very suitable for Oda.
Director and producer The feedback also shows that she performed well.
She is currently famous, coupled with Xiao Station's traffic and platform promotion, it is not difficult for this drama to get a good result."
< br>
Gu Wei told the truth.
The original version of [Qingqing Daily] was not very popular, and the essential reason was that the two starring actors were not popular enough.
Bai Jingting has always been a rank that is neither up nor down in domestic entertainment. He has starred in some popular dramas, but the drama is always popular and has not many loyal fans.
Oda Oda was not very famous when she played [Qingqing Daily], and she was still a newcomer in the eyes of many audiences.
Even so, the drama has achieved a good result of over 100 million episodes and over 10,000 popularity on the platform, and a high score of 7.2 on Douban.
Now Xiaozhan franchise with the most domestic entertainment fans under Gu Wei, Oda has become a famous post-95 traffic actress. It would be strange if the performance of this drama is not good. (This chapter ends)
