Chapter 112 Target 1 Billion
After Gu Wei finished speaking, Liu Yan took over
“Thank you Director Gu Wei for your wonderful speech. Now let us watch this film that carries Director Gu’s dream. Movie."
The actors on the stage left one after another, and the lights in the hall slowly dimmed.
Wang Zihe is a big V with more than 100,000 fans on Weibo. He is a newspaper editor in his 40s. He loves watching movies and often expresses his thoughts on watching movies online.
Because many of the comments were well-founded and well-founded, netizens agreed after reading them, so his side job became a professional film critic.
Today he was also invited to attend the premiere of the movie "Detective Chinatown".
To be honest, he was not optimistic about the movie at first. After all, people of his age, although they also agree with Gu Wei's dream, are more realistic.
In his opinion, it is a fantasy for an acting student in his early 20s to make a movie.
Directing is a real technical job that requires experience, technology, aesthetics, experience, etc. Versatile talents.
Making movies is not something that can be achieved by just relying on passion and shouting slogans.
Although [Tang Detective] has been heavily promoted in the early stage and the battle is very big, but the movie is still about the quality of the film and the reputation of the audience after it is released.
He took out a notebook and a pen and sat upright.
This is his habit of watching movies, especially movies he decides to write reviews for, and it is also a problem left over from his days as a reporter.
At the beginning of the movie, 'Qin Feng' played by Gu Wei is sitting in the interview hall of the police academy, opposite a row of interviewers.
The camera shows his back.
"Classmate Qin Feng, why did you apply for the police academy?"
Seeing that he had no response, another examiner asked again
"Is this question difficult to answer?"
Then the camera turned and 'Qin Feng' was lying listlessly on the bed.
The grandmother beside him comforted him.
“If you fail the exam once, you will take the exam twice. It’s no big deal. I’ll buy you a plane ticket and go to Thailand for a week. He will receive you.
He is my cousin’s grandma’s husband. My brother-in-law’s nephew, your distant cousin, the famous Chinatown’s top detective—Tang Ren!”
“This is a good opening. It explains the reason why the protagonist went abroad. It’s quite satisfactory. The new director is very good! It’s rare, and it’s a joke,” Wang Zihe wrote seriously.
As soon as the image of Bao Qiang'Tang Ren' appeared on the screen, he couldn't help but smile, and there was also a burst of laughter on the scene.
"Sure enough, the funny thing still depends on keeping strong."
The plot continues to develop, 'Tang Ren' missed the pick-up time because of playing mahjong, and two Chinatown police detectives played by Chen He and Xiao Pan, because of the murder The relationship between the case also appeared one after another.
"There is something special about this line. This is a script written by the director himself. He is so talented~"
Wang Zihe's perception of the movie is changing little by little.
The plot of the original two-line narrative converged when the police detective ‘Huang Langdeng’ presented all the evidence to confirm that the murderer was ‘Tang Ren’.
'Qin Feng' and 'Tang Ren' were wanted, but they had no choice but to transform into detectives and began to find the real culprit behind the scenes in order to clear their names.
Slowly, Wang Zihe stopped writing in his notebook. He was completely attracted by the plot of the movie.
When 'Kuntai' answered the phone and reminded 'Tang Ren' to run away, he laughed together with the audience.
Also at the 'Songpa Workshop', the detective duo frowned as they studied how the murderer escaped.
The ensuing chase scene at the police station, the chase scene at the hospital, and the gathering of three parties at A Xiang’s house, including ‘Tang Ren’ group, the robber group, and the police group.
The audience watching the scene burst into laughter one after another.
In the end, the genius boy ‘Qin Feng’ completely solved the case. As ‘Tang Ren’ narrated in the ward of the little girl ‘Sinuo’, the murderer turned out to be ‘Sinuo’s’ adoptive father ‘Li’.
Wang Zihe suddenly realized that, looking back on the previous plot, every scene was not useless, it paved the way for the final solution of the case and the identification of the real culprit.
He was a little excited. This movie can score more than 80 points logically. In his opinion, it is already a rare masterpiece among commercial films.
When he thought the story was going to end here.
‘Qin Feng’ suddenly saw a Thai sign on the road and was told by ‘Tang Ren’ that it was a gay bar.
So I went back to the ward of ‘Sinuo’ in the hospital and told a story to the little girl ‘Sinuo’.
Zi He never expected that there would be a twist. The real culprit behind all this was actually this innocent-looking little girl who was more than ten years old.
Finally, when the camera turned to 'Sinuo' and smiled strangely, Wang Zihe, who was not prepared at all, was startled, and a chill ran down his spine, making his hair stand on end.
The movie ended completely and the theater lights came on.
All the audience looked like they were still unsatisfied, and then thunderous applause broke out in the venue.
Gu Wei looked at the reactions of the audience and felt completely relieved.
The actors in the crew nearby, Bao Qiang, Xiao Pan, Chen He, and Pan Yueming, also looked at Gu Wei with excitement.
Zeng Li has tender eyes.
He walked onto the stage with a happy face.
Host Liu Yan said from the side
"Thank you to the director and the creative team for bringing us such a wonderful movie. Friends from the media present, do you have anything to ask our director Gu Wei?"< br>
The people below raised their hands one after another, and the microphone was handed to a media member.
"Director Gu, I see there is an Easter egg at the end of your movie. Are you already planning to make a sequel?"
Gu Wei laughed
"I have confidence in the movie I made, and I am sure it will be successful, so I had a plan for a sequel while filming.
The first time we were in Chinatown, Thailand, and maybe the next one will be in the United States. Chinatown. I hope to turn the "Chinatown Detective" series into China's Sherlock Holmes, our own Chinese detective image."
The audience burst into applause after hearing this. It was the actors in the circle who looked at Gu Wei eagerly as they applauded.
“Excuse me, Director Gu, what is your box office expectation for this movie?”
Gu Wei has long wanted to answer this question
“During the previous promotion, some media compared [Detective Chinatown] with last year’s [Thailand].
I think [Tang The quality of "Thai囧" is not inferior to "Thai囧", both the comedy content and the detective content are perfect.
Originally, my goal was to surpass "Thai囧", but to be modest, it should be okay if the box office exceeds 1 billion. Question."
Gu Wei fired the cannon, and everyone from the news media to the actors in the circle started talking.
But this is the effect he wants.
After answering a few more questions from the media, the premiere officially ended.
Gu Wei, people from the three major distribution companies and the main actors of the crew served as hosts and bid farewell to their friends in the industry who came to support them one by one.
"Gu Wei, congratulations, this movie is very exciting, I believe the box office will not disappoint you."
Liu Yifei came over and said to Gu Wei with a smile on her face.
She simply wore a turtleneck sweater today, and no makeup was applied to her face. Although she had plain makeup, she still looked good.
“Thank you, Sister Yifei, for coming over and supporting my movie.”
“You [Four Famous Catchers] were here two days ago, so there is no reason for me not to come today. "
Liu Yifei changed her words, leaned slightly in front of Gu Wei, and whispered
"The heroine you promised me during the [Xiu Chun Dao] celebration banquet, does it still count? ”
Gu Wei glanced at her, and then said with a smile
"Of course it counts. If I have a suitable project here, I will contact Sister Yifei as soon as possible."
Liu Yifei's answer to her was pretty good. Satisfied, he waved his hand and left.
It turns out that she didn't like the role of Axiang in "Tang Detective". Gu Wei tentatively invited her, but she refused outright.
Originally, she treated Gu Wei's filmmaking as a way for the young master to spend money to entertain himself. Now it seems that her refusal was a bit hasty and she made a mistake.
She didn't expect that Gu Wei was so talented that a newcomer could reach this level in his first movie.
Liu Yifei started filming at the age of 15, and she still has the most basic ability to distinguish the quality of a film.
In her opinion, the movie "Tang Detective" has all the elements that an excellent commercial movie should have. Even if it doesn't become a big hit, it will definitely be able to make money back.
It seems that Gu Wei, a new director, has a bright future.
Fortunately, they have a good relationship. Even if they missed it this time, there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future.
Gu Wei was still chatting with his friends when Mr. Zhang from Wanda Film and Television came over with a smile.
He said hello to Gu Wei, then turned sideways and let out an actress behind him.
"Director Gu, let me introduce to you, this is Miss Jingtian.
This is Gu Wei, Director Gu."
Jingtian is wearing a black dress, She had thick black hair, fair and transparent skin, seductive red lips, and a pair of big eyes looking at Gu Wei with curiosity.
"Hello, Miss Jingtian."
Gu Wei smiled and shook her hand.
She is so beautiful and has a very elegant temperament. She is worthy of being called the 'flower of wealth in the world'.
This is also the first time that Gu Wei has met Jingtian. After all, this is the person he once wanted to learn from. Of course, Gu Wei will not step on her tricks.
“Hello, Director Gu, I like listening to your songs very much. Today I saw such a wonderful movie you shot. I look forward to cooperating with you in the future.”
Jingtian's attitude was very sincere, as if I was your little crush.
Mr. Zhang interjected from the side
“Ms. Jingtian is a very hard-working actress and very talented. Director Gu may consider her for any suitable roles in the future.
< br>We Wanda will support you without hesitation.”
Gu Wei understands that Mr. Zhang is asking for a role for Jingtian Platform. Let’s get familiar with him first, and Wanda can pay for it later if there is a suitable role.
During this period, Jingtian received absolute support from Wanda, and later participated in the filming of the Sino-US co-production film "The Great Wall" by Zhang Yimou.
After Wanda acquired Legendary Pictures of the United States, he became a member of Wanda's entertainment strategy, broke into Hollywood, and participated in the filming of "King Kong: Skull Island" and "Pacific Rim: Uprising".
Becoming the female star with the most resources in the entertainment industry, she was also jokingly called by netizens to create the ‘Otada Movie Universe’.
"Mr. Zhang, you are too polite. Miss Jingtian is naturally beautiful. If there is a suitable role here, I will definitely consider it."
Gu Wei responded politely.
Gu Wei does not want to offend Wanda, and if possible, try to be on good terms with him.
After all, Wanda controls theater resources. As long as you are involved in the film industry, you cannot avoid Wanda.
I have never seen a director as big as Feng Xiaogang.
After the movie "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" was released, because Wanda refused to schedule movies, he shamelessly posted a message to Wang Jianlin on the Internet, begging for some movie schedules for himself.
Although others ignored him.
