Chapter 29 Tai Chi is released
On the first day of the second week, because it was a working day, the box office inevitably declined, with a revenue of 12.68 million.
The crew is currently promoting in Guangdong. It was different from when he was in the capital. During the promotion in the capital, although Gu Wei was the protagonist, his reputation was still a little transparent and he couldn't contribute much to the promotion.
When we arrived in Guangdong, [Xiuchundao] had been popular in the film market for a week, and Gu Wei became famous in a real sense.
The support cards prepared by fans at the event no longer read ‘Shen Lian’, but his name ‘Gu Wei’.
It can only be said that the fighting power of female fans is strong. Although she is far inferior to Liu Yifei in terms of fame, but just looking at the support from fans, those who don't know would think that the two are evenly matched.
During the promotional break, Zhang Tianai looked at the audience filled with fans of Liu Yifei and Gu Wei, with envy on his face.
Gu Wei stood aside and saw it.
"Don't worry, this movie is the beginning of your journey to stardom, and you will become famous sooner or later."
He whispered to Zhang Tianai.
Fans in Guangdong are very enthusiastic, and it can be seen that Guangdong people love martial arts movies.
On the 30th, the movie box office fell slightly, taking in 13.68 million.
On the last day of October, the crew flew to Shenzhen City again, and the box office that day took in 12.14 million.
It has been 6 days since the movie "Xiu Chun Dao" was released, and the box office has officially exceeded the 100 million mark, reaching 108.11 million.
Lu Yang has also officially entered the billion-yuan director club. Of course, in two months, China's top billion-yuan director club will be raised to the billion-dollar level by a cross-border director named Xu Zheng.
But to this day, only a handful of domestic directors have made films worth over 100 million yuan.
Director Lu Yang is rising as a new star in the director world, and investors will step through his door waving banknotes.
For Gu Wei, the first thing is to become famous, and the second thing is to star in a movie that has a box office of over 100 million.
The actor starred in a movie with a box office of over 100 million, which is not a great achievement for him, but it can also be regarded as a small milestone in his acting career.
Time goes back to yesterday, the 31st.
"Sister Yang, are the naval forces ready?" Gu Wei talked to his agent on the phone.
"Everyone has made arrangements and explained everything clearly. It can be launched at any time upon our instructions." Yang Liwen replied.
"Okay, let them start on time tomorrow, and give me a hard slap on 'the sequel to a bad movie will be even worse'."
"Understood, Mr. Gu." Paused. Yang Liwen said again.
“Today Wang Zhonglei from Huayi contacted the company and wants to sign you to Huayi. The salary is easy to negotiate.”
"Ha, just call him and reject him directly. It's a pretty idea." Gu Wei sneered.
It is not a gentleman to retaliate without revenge. What Huayi did before, now that he has the opportunity, of course Gu Wei will pay them back.
As for whether he would offend Hua Yi, Gu Wei didn't care about that. Just like Charlotte said, ‘Can I still be bullied by you in my dream? '
After all, Gu Wei is coming back again. He is not a high-ranking official or the richest man. He is just a Chinese artist. Even Liu Yifei, who let them go, could not be completely blocked. How can Gu Wei's future financial and resources be compared to Liu Yifei's? Comparable.
Besides, Gu Wei also knows that Huayi, once the boss of China's private film company, will gradually decline in the future, so he has no need to worry.
On November 1st, "Tai Chi 2" was officially released. Thanks to the efforts of Huayi and China Film as the distributors, the first day of the film's schedule accounted for 25% of the national film schedule.
This is already very difficult. You must know that [Tai Chi 1] has a very bad reputation. The audience has already classified [Tai Chi 1] as a bad movie, just because the two movies "Tai Chi" were filmed together. Cut into two parts, Part 1 and Part 2. Even if Part 1 has a bad reputation, Part 2 will still have to be released.
In this case, the theater also gave 25% of the film schedule. It can only be said that the energy of the two major companies cannot be underestimated.
Affected by the release of new movies, the proportion of "Xiu Chun Knife" in the film schedule has been squeezed to a certain extent, but there is still 21%.
On the Internet, viewers who have watched "Tai Chi 1" have left messages, concluding that this 2 is also a bad movie.
The sailors were also fanning the wind and igniting the fire, creating a rhythm.
The audience’s judgment is not unfounded.
There is a convention for movies that are arranged in a series. If the first one is well made and has a good reputation and box office, then the second one will definitely have a higher box office than the first one, but the reputation is often not as good as the first one. , continue to shoot, the reputation will get lower and lower, until you can no longer shoot.
Just like this year's "囧", although the filming party has copyright disputes, this movie is actually the second part of the "囧" series.
The first part is called [People on the Road]. Although the first part was not a hit, it received good reviews at the box office.
[Thai囧] inherited most of the popularity and audience expectations and then became a hit.
Although the box office of the third part "Hong Kong" was much higher than "Thailand", it lost reputation and received many bad reviews from the audience. It was only because of the popularity accumulated by the first two parts that the box office was good. .
By the time the fourth movie [囧Mom] was released, it couldn’t even hit the box office, so needless to say it had good reputation.
Now the [囧] series has come to an end. Whenever the director starts filming, it will be a series in his lifetime.
Good movies still have this problem, let alone bad movies. The sequels of good movies inherit the popularity of the first movie, and the bad movies can only continue the resentment of the audience who watched the first movie.
[Tai Chi 2] That’s it.
At this time, Gu Wei and his team have already started publicity in cities outside the four major ticket warehouses. The box office of "Xiu Chun Dao" has exceeded 100 million, which has also added fuel to the film's promotion work. All they have to do is Keep up the good work and keep the popularity of the movie alive. According to the arrangements of the publicity department, the road show team will split up when leaving Shenzhen City.
The movie's box office harvest was mainly in the first three weeks, and now more than a week has passed. The actors in the crew are also very popular.
It is a waste of time for everyone to run together and the efficiency is very low. After the four major ticket warehouses, there are more than a dozen major cities to visit.
The crew will be divided into two teams, one for the male and female protagonists, and one for the director and the remaining actors. They will try to cover all the planned cities in more than a week to fully tap the box office potential.
The night before they left, Zhang Tianai was reluctant to leave and tried his best to fight Gu Wei evenly.
As expected, a woman’s potential is great, as long as she thinks about it, everything can become a weapon.
The next day, the two teams had separated and took different planes to fly to their respective target cities.
Gu Wei and Liu Yifei were sitting side by side in the business class of the plane.
Their assistants sat in the back in economy class.
Gu Wei's face was a little pale, with slightly dark circles under his eyes, and a look of despair.
Although Liu Yifei, a beautiful woman, was sitting next to her, he had no intention of chatting.
‘It’s terrible, it’s terrible, the attributes have indeed dropped! ’
The number behind [Physique] on the interface that only Gu Wei can see has dropped from [78] to [77].
Liu Yifei sat aside and saw Gu Wei looking dazed and his eyes straight.
What he looked at was only the back of the front seat.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? You don't want to be separated from your girlfriend. You guys haven't seen each other for more than a week, not to mention you can still make phone calls during your break."
Liu Yifei thought he was reluctant to leave his girlfriend.
“No, I’m just too tired from promoting these days.”
Gu Wei is really tired. The lowered attributes allow him to see his physical condition more intuitively. He needs to take advantage of this time to take good care of himself.
"Sister Yifei, we have to go to the cinema when we go somewhere. I'll take a nap first. If you need something, call me." He said and put on the eye mask.
Although it is very pleasant to chat with a goddess like Tianxian who was once a young girl, Gu Wei is too tired now, and of course the sage has no more desires.
A young body is good at recovering, and when Gu Wei woke up he felt energetic again.
Gu Wei, who took off his blindfold, raised his hand and stretched upward. "I want to hit ten!" He whispered.
The movement alerted Liu Yifei, who was reading seriously next to her, "Who are you going to hit?"
She heard something but didn't hear it clearly.
"Ah, Sister Yifei, it's nothing. How long do we have until we arrive?" Gu Wei didn't explain either.
“The plane will land in about half an hour.”
Liu Yifei also put away her book when she saw him waking up
"By the way, Gu Wei, I wanted to ask you before, but I didn't say it because the occasion was wrong. Isn't Zhang Tianai the ex-girlfriend from school you mentioned?"
Liu Yifei asked with a gossipy face.
"No, my ex-girlfriend at school was my classmate. We separated last semester."
Gu Wei said
"Then you are filming When you told me that you were single?" Liu Yifei suspected that he was a scumbag who had a girlfriend and was still entangled with his ex-girlfriend.
"Yes, I was single at the time. Sister Tian Ai and I met later than you. We only met the day after you left the group and Sister Ai joined the group, and then we got together." Gu Wei looked frank, these Everyone on the crew knows that there is nothing to hide.
"I see, you are so quick to find a girlfriend. You even said you liked me on the set. As soon as I left the set, you immediately got a girlfriend. You scumbag." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him, Pouting.
Although I have never thought about any development with Gu Wei, I still feel a little uncomfortable when this little brother always expressed his love for me when he was on the set and found someone else to be his girlfriend as soon as he left.
There is a feeling in my heart that although I don’t want this thing, but it is taken away by others, I am still unhappy.
“Sister Yifei, I still like you now, you were the goddess of my boyhood!
But just like fans chasing stars, it is impossible for celebrities to let fans not find a partner or get married. "Gu Wei said with a smile.
"I didn't realize that you were a fan of mine. You just said that you were a fan. You want to stay away from me when your girlfriend is around. I've seen it all these days. "
"My girlfriend needs to be coaxed, but Sister Yifei should take it into consideration. "
"Haha, I thank you, please take me out of your heart. I don’t want to live in anyone’s heart forever. Liu Yifei complained.
