Chapter 201 Just Good Friends
After finalizing the contract with Zhang Songwen, Gu Wei gave Yang Liwen a call, so he didn’t need to worry about the rest.
The company will soon have a new general, and Gu Wei is in a very good mood.
After a while, the actors who had filming duties today arrived one after another.
Everyone saw Gu Wei coming back and greeted him warmly.
"Is the promotion of the TV series done?"
After Li Xian said hello to Gu Wei, he stood together and started chatting with him.
He knew that Gu Wei took time off to promote "Shanshan is Coming". This drama is so popular now that he watches it every week.
“Participate in Running Man, it will be broadcast in a few days.”
“Running Man, this variety show is also very popular.”
Li Xian said with envy.
"How is the filming of the crew going these days while I'm away?"
Gu Wei asked casually.
"I'm a little bit better. The boys who play your dormitory classmates basically have no shooting tasks. They have been playing games for the past two days.
Speaking of which, everyone misses you!"
"I've only been away for a few days and you miss me. Is it that exaggerated?"
Gu Wei was puzzled.
Li Xian said a little funny:
"When you leave, there will be no one to take you. We keep losing in games. I will lose gold these days."
< br>Gu Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this.
"You guys are real talents."
"I'm not bad. We are their talents. You can lead them, but I can't."
Li Xian retorted.
After Gu Wei returned to the crew, the filming progress of "A Smile Is Alluring" was back on track.
Everyone went back to filming during the day and had a pleasant time playing games and having dinner together.
The game level of Li Xian and others was quickly raised by Gu Wei.
Gu Wei returned to the crew to film quietly. This year's Lunar New Year box office war has officially begun with the release of Huang Xiaoming's movie.
On November 28, the day after the premiere, Huang Xiaoming's "A Coquettish Woman Has the Best Life" premiered nationwide.
Although at the premiere, Huang Xiaoming shouted that if the movie box office exceeded 1 billion, he would immediately set a wedding date.
But this movie did not become a billion-dollar movie as he imagined.
The national box office was 23.08 million on Thursday, the first day of release, followed by 27.51 million and 30.73 million on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
The total box office of the movie in its first week of release was 81.52 million.
On Monday of the second week, the box office was cut in half, with a revenue of 14.93 million.
Basically, the final box office of this movie will be more than 200 million.
As a romance film, although this movie is unlikely to make a huge profit, there is still no problem in returning the money.
But I think Huang Xiaoming might be a little disappointed.
Last month Liu Yifei's movie "The Beauty of Dew" was officially released at the beginning of this month.
As a Sino-Korean co-production, the film made a box office of 66 million within one month of its release. Although it was bound to lose money, it at least broke the box office record for a Sino-Korean co-production, which is some consolation. .
It can also be seen from this data that it is difficult for co-production films to achieve good results in the mainland market.
When this movie was released, the organizers invited dozens of media to hold a premiere press conference, but no celebrities were invited to participate.
Gu Wei only learned about the release of Liu Yifei's movie when he was chatting with her on WeChat.
"Gu Wei, I want to go see this movie."
In the evening, Gu Wei took a shower and walked out of the bathroom wearing a white bathrobe.
Nazha was wearing pink pajamas, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, holding a lollipop in her mouth and a silver-white pad in her hand. She saw Gu Wei coming over and said to him.
Gu Wei sat next to Nazha, took the pad in her hand, and took a look. The movie she wanted to watch was the one called "Titanic of China" [Titanic of China] 】.
"Why do you want to watch this movie?"
"These days, the Internet is full of promotions for this movie. It is directed by the great director Wu Yusen and stars Zhang Ziyi, Jin Chengwu, Song Huiqiao, and Nagasawa Ami.< br>
And look at the slogan, 'It is better to dedicate your life to love than to give it to war.' "
Nazha said with a look of longing.
"Haha, today is the first day of release for this movie. The real-time box office and audience feedback have not been released yet. We can wait and let the bullets fly for a while."
As he spoke, Gu Wei reached out and held Nazha in his arms.
You definitely can’t go to the movies. It’s no secret that Gu Wei is filming in Shanghai. Ever since the TV series started filming, there have been paparazzi around the crew.
Gu Wei took other members of the crew out to eat several times, and they were secretly photographed by the paparazzi. It was just that there were so many people together, so it didn't matter much if they were photographed entering or leaving the hotel.
If he takes Nazha to watch a movie alone, if he goes today, tomorrow’s hot spot will be booked.
Besides, he really has no interest in watching the movie "Peace Wheel".
As an internationally renowned director, Wu Yusen used his own personal experience to tell all directors in the industry the consequences of losing money when making movies.
I originally broke into Hollywood with "A Better Tomorrow", and then filmed "Face/Off" and "Mission: Impossible 2" to establish a foothold in Hollywood.
Soon he became a major international director and was welcomed by major film companies.
As a result, in 2002, I took over the filming of MGM Pictures' A-level blockbuster "Windtalker". This large-scale production invested 115 million U.S. dollars that year. After its release, the global box office was only 77 million U.S. dollars. The film studio Direct box office losses exceeded $80 million.
With the plummeting stock price, MGM, one of the eight major Hollywood film companies, declared bankruptcy.
Wu Yusen screwed up the movie and could no longer survive in Hollywood, so he returned to China.
When he first came back, he was warmly welcomed by Han Sanping as an international director. He paid for and made a movie called "Red Cliff" with a production cost of 600 million, a domestic box office of 580 million, and a global box office of 10 100 million, China Film lost miserably.
The current film "The Wheel" has completely ended his director career, with an investment of 400 million. Gu Wei remembers that the final box office of the two original films was only 250 million. According to the box office splitting rules, the investment Business losses exceeded 300 million!
No company in China dares to ask him to make a movie anymore.
A week later, the 12th episode of Running Man was broadcast on Blueberry Channel. The variety show Running Man has been on air for a month and a half as of this issue.
The program is becoming more and more popular, people on the Internet are discussing it more and more, and the TV station's ratings have repeatedly broken records.
The guests invited in this issue are the male and female protagonists of the most popular idol dramas in the past two months, Gu Wei and Zhao Liying.
Blueberry Channel released the news of Gu and Wei's participation early
On Friday night, Yang Zi, who was filming on the set of [Big Yangko], stood in front of the TV in the hotel room. Waiting for the broadcast of this issue of Running Man.
[Big Yangge] The conditions of the crew were really not that good. Even the room where the heroine Yang Zi lived was just a big bed room in an ordinary hotel.
There is no way, the money is one thing, the place they filmed is too desolate, and there are no good hotels.
Yang Zi has been chasing Running Man since the first episode. She has also watched the original Korean version of [Running Man].
Based on her personality, she is very interested in this kind of outdoor variety show.
Her good friend Gu Wei appears as a guest in today's episode, and she can't miss it.
As the running man theme song [Superhero] sounded, this program officially started.
After all the running men's team entered the venue, 4 guests entered one after another.
Gu Wei entered the venue wearing a black sportswear. His slender figure and angular facial features gave him the feeling of a sports anime male protagonist.
"Come and look cool when you rip off your famous brand. What if you get ripped off later?"
Yang Zi murmured as he looked at Gu Wei on the TV.
After a while, the first round of the game was over. Gu Wei actually won the final victory in the famous brand tearing battle. This was beyond Yang Zi's expectation.
Then she looked down at the second round of the high jump competition and the third round of the water competition.
During the period, there were many scenes of Gu Wei and Zhao Liying chatting and looking at each other. The program team thoughtfully added special effects such as red cheeks and little hearts in the later stage, as well as soothing background music when the two were in the same frame.
“These two people are most likely going to have something going on. Gu Wei is such a scumbag.”
As Gu Wei’s good friend since school, Yang Zi’s relationship history with him She still knew quite clearly. Apart from a few female celebrities who had scandals with him on the Internet, she knew clearly the two girlfriends Gu Wei had when he was in school.
Moreover, after these two people broke up with him, one has been praised by him, and the other is being praised.
Li Xian has been a witness to the whole process. From "The Princess" to the current film "A Little Smile Is Alluring", he has participated in both TV series.
So Yang Zi knew that although Gu Wei was a nice person and didn't talk to his friends, he was definitely a playboy emotionally.
After watching this issue of Running Man from beginning to end, Yang Zi couldn't help but send Gu Wei a WeChat message.
“I just finished watching Running Man, is the scandal between you and Zhao Liying true?”
"Good friend, thank you!
Little monkey Zi, be honest when filming and stop gossiping."
Gu Wei recovered very quickly.
‘Haha, good friend?
Guess whether I believe it or not. ’
Yang Zi thought with a smile as he looked at Gu Wei's reply.
Due to the participation of Gu Wei and Zhao Liying, this episode of Running Man has a ratings of 3.14 and a viewership share of 10.24, setting a ratings record since the launch of Running Man.
When it was broadcast that night, Gu Wei also watched it with Nazha. All I can say is that this kind of variety show depends entirely on the editing and post-production.
In the third round of the game, Zhao Liying’s drowning was not seen at all in the entire program. It was as if this incident had never happened and everyone was just playing the game happily.
After what many people say and do after being edited by the program team, they no longer mean what they originally meant.
Fortunately, they didn't edit the footage of Gu Wei too much. At least none of his actions and words were distorted due to editing.
Of course, this is also because Gu Wei is a big name.
After this issue of Running Man went online, it aroused widespread discussion among netizens.
More and more fans of the drama have become CP fans of "Yutang Couple".
The discussion on the Internet about the TV series "Shanshan is Coming" has once again become heated.
[After watching Running Man, I went back to watch "Shan Shan Is Here" again. This drama is too sweet and it doesn't work anymore. The "Fish Pond Couple" must be together! ! 】
【It’s too good to eat, isn’t it? I watched it countless times. Zhao Liying’s Shanshan is naturally cute and silly, natural and fresh without being artificial, and has no trace of acting. Gu Wei’s overbearing CEO is very successful in shaping the character! 】
【The pride of mainland idol dramas! Silly and sweet but not silly, I like it! Who said that Sha Baitian didn’t need acting skills before?
Shanshan is a living example, not everyone can play the role of silly and sweet! Shanshan’s cute and cute spirit is so endearing! My favorite line is "Shanshan is a little sun, full of positive energy!"]
[I stand for the "fish pond couple". They must be together! ! ! 】
[I will give you 500 for your marriage! ! 】
【.】
At this time, 30 episodes of "Shanshan is Coming" have been aired, and there is only one week left until all episodes have been aired.
Needless to say, the ratings reached 2.41 at the highest point, very close to the summer version of "Gu Jian Qi Tan", and the ratings share also reached 11.14, almost becoming a phenomenon-level modern idol TV series in 2014.
Looking at this achievement in recent years, no modern idol drama of the same type can surpass it.
It can be said that from then on, "Shanshan is Coming" has become a benchmark in the current doll market.
Anyone who shoots modern idol dramas will use it as a template and goal.
What is even more valuable is that although this TV series is just an idol drama, the media and audiences have very high evaluations.
【The background setting of "Shanshan is Coming" is down-to-earth and close to the white-collar life of modern cities.
It has a standard plot, eye-catching male and female protagonists, eye-catching costumes, and lines designed to suit young people. It has a warm and dream-making nature. 】——Tengxun Entertainment
[Although the plot is common, it satisfies the public's fantasies about idol dramas] - Sina Entertainment
[Gu Wei not only has the temperament of a young master, but also has a warm feeling. When he stares affectionately, he smiles to express his doting. At this time, the audience will not skip the scene but be brought into the plot.
Zhao Liying's image and connotation are more consistent with the original work, cute and not artificial.
Their performances can all be rated 90 points. 】——Sohu Entertainment
【.】
The Douban score of the TV series that is about to end has increased again, from 7.8 points at the 16th episode to 8 points now.
This rating is unprecedented for a domestic idol drama.
Today there are 3 chapters and 10,000 words!
