Chapter 263 Xiaoxin
Zhang Yimou is still very interested in Gu Wei. Although he does not pay attention to some so-called traffic stars in the circle, Gu Wei has been too popular in the past year, and he has attracted many online and offline friends. His discussions are very high.
He doesn’t pay attention and can’t help but the family and friends around him always talk about him.
And the low-budget romance film [Left Ear], which was just released, finally achieved an exaggerated box office of 804 million, beating all domestic films before and after the May Day holiday.
In the film industry, everyone from capital and film companies to directors, screenwriters and other practical staff are amazed by Gu Wei's exaggerated box office appeal.
At the beginning of the year, Lu Han and Li Jiaheng released two youth-themed romance movies respectively, which achieved good box office results.
It has already made people in the industry optimistic about the appeal of traffic stars in the movie box office.
As a result, when Gu Wei's [left ear] came out, everyone's jaws were completely shocked.
It’s not that the box office of this movie is unbelievably high. 800 million is not an unattainable achievement for the current domestic film market. A truly top-selling movie must exceed 1 billion. .
The key is that other big-selling movies are basically a combination of big investment, big directors, and big stars, such as Zhou Xingchi's "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" and Zhang Yimou's "The Great Wall" currently being filmed.
[Left Ear] is the debut film of a new director. It is a low-budget youth film. The actors except Gu Wei are all newcomers. The quality of the film can only be said to be above pass, not excellent.
But such a movie can sell 800 million at the box office, and everyone can only attribute this to Gu Wei's strong box office appeal.
I brought this movie to life entirely on my own.
If Lu Han and Li Jiaheng’s film performance can be regarded as the appeal of top stars, then Gu Wei’s performance can be regarded as top-notch. The entire domestic entertainment industry is unique and there are no young stars at all. Comparable.
“I will arrange to focus on filming your scenes in these two days.”
As a director, Zhang Yimou certainly knew that Gu Wei had originally rejected the crew's invitation, but now he was forced to come in for a guest role due to favors.
Since it is a friendly appearance, of course it cannot be delayed for too long.
Fortunately, his character only had a few scenes. If we concentrated on filming, we could complete it in one day.
“I’m sorry, Director Zhang~”
Gu Wei didn’t expect that Zhang Yimou had a good attitude towards him.
The two of them were polite for a few more times. Director Zhang hesitated and asked:
"Can you give me a signed photo of you?
My son likes you very much."< br>
Gu Wei was a little surprised.
"No problem, director, what is your name?"
He asked for a celebrity photo of himself from the assistant next to him. In order to deal with fans who might appear at any time, the assistant always carried these things with him.
"Zhang Yinan"
"How old is he?"
"15 years old"
Zhang Yimou's second wife Chen Ting gave birth to 3 children for him My child, this matter used to be quite a big deal, and I was fined a lot of money for having a child.
"Okay~"
Gu Wei wrote on his photo
"I wish Zhang Yinan good health and academic progress! - Gu Wei"
and handed it over To Director Zhang.
“Thank you~”
Zhang Yimou took the signed photo and thought of helping his son fulfill his wish, with a fatherly smile on his face.
After joining the group, Gu Wei saw several main actors of "The Great Wall" one after another. Needless to say, Hollywood superstar Matt Damon is the absolute male lead of this movie.
The entire movie is shot around him. A foreigner traveled thousands of miles to come to China, defeated the monster Taotie for world peace, and became the savior of China and even the world. What kind of spirit is this?
Although the purpose at the beginning was not pure, just to find black gunpowder to make a fortune, in the end they joined the battle to protect mankind without hesitation.
A typical Hollywood story, an American hero saves the world and captures the hearts of local beauties.
Gu Wei is here as a guest star. He doesn't know Matt Damon and has no need to communicate with him.
Other main actors Liu Dehua, Zhang Hanyu, Lu Han, Lin Gengxin, Huang Xuan and others on the crew saw Gu Wei arriving and greeted him one after another. Among them, Gu Wei and Andy Lau have known each other for a long time. In the 2015 Spring Festival Gala, Andy was invited to the stage to sing a song solo like Gu Wei.
During several rehearsals, Gu Wei, as a junior, made a special trip to visit Liu Dehua.
It can only be said that it makes sense for Andy to be famous for decades. At least he can't find any faults in how he treats people and things.
When facing a rising star like Gu Wei, he didn't take the airs of his seniors at all, and the two of them got along very happily when they met for the first time.
"Brother Hua, we meet again. Last time we were on the same stage, and this time we are in the same frame!"
Gu Wei greeted Liu Dehua with a smile.
“We haven’t seen each other for a few months, and you’re even more popular!”
Wazai responded in non-standard Mandarin with a smile on his face.
"Is there anyone in the entertainment industry who is more popular than you, Brother Hua?
You have been famous for more than 20 years!"
Gu Wei joked with Hua Zai.
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Gu Wei politely greeted the others.
Except for a few foreign actors present, no one did not know Gu Wei. After all, if one does not look at seniority and age, Gu Wei is the most popular actor here.
In the entertainment industry, as long as you are popular enough, everyone around you will be polite and friendly.
"Teacher Lin, being famous is not as good as meeting him. You are more handsome than what I saw on the screen before."
Gu Wei came to Lin Gengxin specially and took the initiative to chat with him.
Lin Gengxin was a little flattered by Gu Wei's enthusiasm.
"Teacher Gu, you are too polite. Who in the entertainment industry dares to say that he is handsome in front of you? Isn't that just trying to do the same thing!"
"Speaking of which, I want to thank you."
Gu Wei said with a smile.
"Huh?"
Lin Gengxin was a little confused. He was sure that this was the first time he met Gu Wei. The two had no interaction at all before.
“Did you film a TV series called [Martial God Zhao Zilong] some time ago?”
"Yes, I also came to the [Great Wall] right after finishing filming there."
Lin Gengxin was a little curious as to how Gu Wei knew so much about his work schedule.
“Nazha, who plays ‘Diao Chan’, is an actress under our company. According to her, you took good care of her on the set.
Of course I want to thank you.”
"Oh"
Lin Gengxin suddenly realized that he had heard that Nazha had left Tangren before, but he didn't pay attention to which company he went to. He didn't expect it to be a company owned by Gu Wei.
"Nazha and I have known each other since we were in Sugar Man. It is fate that we can film together after we come out. There is no need to take care of us."
Lin Gengxin said with a smile, not Take credit.
Gu Wei has a good sense for Lin Gengxin.
The other party’s hometown is Shengjing, and he is an authentic Northeasterner. Although he is handsome, he never has the baggage of being an idol when filming movies and recording shows. He feels like a very down-to-earth person.
The two chatted for a while, and gradually lost the strange feeling of just meeting each other, and the terms of calling each other changed from calling each other teacher to "Brother Wei" and "Xiaoxin".
I took leave on the last day of the month, and I only had one chapter. I owed a total of 5 chapters in August, and I will definitely make up for it next month.
