Chapter 84 Little Times and Wu Jing
On June 27, [Little Times] will be released.
As one of the leading actors, Yang Mi naturally has to cooperate in promoting the movie.
She had already asked for leave from the crew a few days in advance and went to promote the movie.
Although this movie was later deemed an absolute bad movie, it really made money.
On the day the movie was released, enthusiastic fans filled the theater screening hall.
After 4 days of release, the box office revenue was 300 million yuan. You must know that the investment in this movie was only more than 20 million yuan.
The movie hasn’t even been released yet, but the producer has already decided to purchase more than 100 million yuan. How many times this is a profit.
Guo Jingming is completely popular in the film industry.
Don’t care if the movie is bad or not, the real skill is making money.
Of course, the movie does suck a bit.
The fans looked excited, but the passerby audience who were not book lovers were tricked into watching the movie in the cinema by the hot situation. When they came out, they felt like they had eaten shit.
As a result, all kinds of insults and sarcastic comments about the movie appeared on the Internet.
The movie’s Douban score is only over 4 points.
After 4 days, basically all fans have watched it, and the movie’s box office has been cut in half again, leaving a steady stream of money.
As a producer, Guo Xiaosi made a lot of money.
Unfortunately, there is not much support for the actors, and they have to withstand negative comments from some audiences and film critics.
Yang Mi, who was still following the promotion, was not in a good mood at this time. No matter how high the box office of the movie was, it would not fall into her pocket.
Everyone with a discerning eye knows that the success at the box office depends on the fans of the original work and has little to do with the actors and actresses.
But the film was poorly made. While the audience criticized the film, they also criticized her as the lead actor for her poor performance.
With the female lead absent, Gu Wei, as the male lead who has the most scenes together, is free and does not film too many scenes every day.
From the end of April to the end of June, he has successively sold 20,000 Bitcoins, with an average selling price of US$800 per coin, and received US$16 million.
With this capital, several investments he plans to make this year will be much easier to handle.
Gu Wei does not plan to put this money into the company, but plans to set up a separate investment company to make some subsequent equity investments.
Today the crew filmed a scene where Baili Tusu had an evil spirit attack.
Tu Su, played by Gu Wei, has been controlled by the evil spirit. He holds the Burning Silence Sword in his hand and walks step by step towards his senior brother Ling Yue.
At this time, his eyes were blood red, and a red line appeared in the middle of his forehead.
The joints of the hands holding the sword turned white, and the veins on his neck popped out.
The senior brother played by Chen Weiting shouted to him in the distance
"Wake up! Wake up!"
Tu Su turned a deaf ear and raised his sword to strike at him.
The senior brother was knocked away by a sword and blood spurted from his mouth.
Tu Su was about to step forward, but fortunately Master Ziyin arrived in time to block the attack.
"Stuck!
Excellent, everyone performed very well, this is passed!" Director Liang shouted with a loudspeaker behind the monitor.
He is now more and more satisfied with Gu Wei. He still had a grudge against Gu Wei when he changed the actor's makeup when the movie first started, but because of the producer's reputation, he couldn't get angry.
However, as the filming progressed, he discovered that Gu Wei was really an excellent actor. He talked about everything on the set and could pass every scene smoothly.
Every time you give him suggestions, he accepts them with an open mind, and his performance style can be changed immediately according to your suggestions.
This kind of actor has been filming for so many years and it is rare to see him. It allows the director to worry less and the work can be completed with high quality and quantity.
It seems that what Producer Chen told him before filming started was right.
Gu Wei finished the show and sat under the big umbrella on the sidelines. He took a sip of water from the assistant and took a towel to wipe the sweat on his head.
June and July in Hengdian are the hottest times of the year.
Gu Wei was wearing a thick costume and had to perform various actions with the big sword.
Even with his physical fitness, after a scene, the lining of the costume looks like it has been soaked in water.
"Mr. Gu, someone called you just now, and I told him that you were filming." Assistant Yang Dan said cautiously.
"Who said that?" Gu Wei took the call and looked at it. It was an unfamiliar number. Apart from family members, the only ones who knew his private number were some friends in the industry. He recorded all their phone calls.
"It's Wu Jing." Gu Wei suddenly realized that he didn't really have Wu Jing's phone number, but Xie Nan did.
He also didn’t expect that Wu Jing would contact him more than four months after he met Xie Nan at the launch conference at the end of February.
Logically speaking, at this time, Wu Jingchou should have already run out of money to film Wolf Warriors.
Without thinking too much, he picked up his phone and called Wu Jing back.
"Hello? Is this Brother Jing? I'm Gu Wei."
"Hello, Mr. Gu, I'm Wu Jing. I'm sorry to disturb you while you are working." Wu Jing on the other side of the phone was very polite.
“It’s okay, I’m just off the show now.
Brother Jing, you don’t have to be so polite to me, Sister Nan and I have a very good relationship, we are all our own people.
Besides, didn't Sister Nan tell you when she got back? I'm your fan. ”
Although he had only met Xie Nan once, Gu Wei opened his mouth to use polite words like these to build relationships.
Wu Jing also didn’t expect Gu Wei to be so enthusiastic towards him, but he It’s not too presumptuous. After all, this time I called Gu Wei because I wanted to ask someone for help.
“I heard Xie Nan say this. I’ve been in the entertainment industry for a long time, so I didn’t. No matter how famous I am, I am very happy that Mr. Gu likes the characters I have filmed before. "
"Brother Jing, did you call me for something? "Gu Wei stopped being polite to Wu Jing and got to the point directly.
"It's like this, Mr. Gu, I have been preparing a movie for the past two years, and now there is still a small gap in funds. Isn't that why Xie Nan told me that your company has film and television investment business, and I I’ll give you a call to see if there’s any chance of cooperation.”
Wu Jing hesitated and said cautiously.
"What's the name of the movie?"
"It's called [Wolf Warrior]."
Gu Wei's heart skipped a beat, he controlled his emotions and said in a calm tone

"Brother Jing, although I believe in your ability very much, film investment is not a trivial matter after all.
In this way, I am currently filming in Hengdian and cannot leave for the time being.
If it is convenient for you, You can come to Hengdian and let’s talk in person.
I’m still very interested in your movie.”
Wu Jing was very excited when he heard that Gu Wei didn’t refuse directly.
The tone was a little urgent
"Okay, Mr. Gu, no problem.
I have time now, and I will go to Hengdian to meet you tomorrow."
"Okay, I Waiting for you to come visit me.”
After hanging up the phone, Wu Jing’s mood was a little high.
"How's it going? What's going on over there?" Xie Nan beside him asked eagerly.
“Honey, you are really my lucky star!” Wu Jing said as he hugged Xie Nan.
"Muah~" He kissed her face happily.
"I hate you, let's talk about business, what happened? Did Gu Wei agree to invest?" Xie Nan lightly hammered Wu Jing's chest with his small fist.
“Not yet, but judging by his tone, he is very interested in my movie and asked me to go to Hengdian to discuss it in detail.”
"Why are you so excited before it's decided? Are you stupid?" Xie Nan said angrily.
“Daughter-in-law, you don’t know, since my last movie [Wolf Fang] failed, in order to attract investment, I have found more than 30 investors, but no one is willing to invest money.
Yes. Some rejected me directly, some came with my cousins, and some went with my brothers to have dinner and drinks until I vomited. The next day I mentioned investing in a movie and turned away.
This. I've experienced both warmth and cold in two years," Wu Jing said with a lonely look on his face.
"Husband, you have worked hard and have been wronged for making a movie." Xie Nan looked distressed and gently touched his face with her hand.
"Originally, I planned to mortgage the house because it didn't work out. But if the mortgage fails, what will you do? What about our future?"
"Husband, I support you to fight for your dream. Even if the movie fails in the end, I will still be there.”
“Daughter-in-law~” Xie Nan’s words completely touched Wu Jing’s eyes. She was flushed, and at the same time she secretly made up her mind that she must succeed and give Xie Nan happiness in the future.
