Chapter 389 The schedule is too full
After the show ended in the evening, Gu Wei and Zhang Tianai found a relatively high-end restaurant for dinner.
Then the two of them went to the Watson Cinema that Yang Chaoyue mentioned.
Today is a working day, and there are only a few people in the lobby of the cinema. The assistant has already bought the movie tickets, and the theater is reserved.
Gu Wei went to the front desk and bought a large bucket of popcorn and two cups of Coke.
Zhang Tianai was sitting on the sofa in the cinema hall, waiting for Gu Wei to come back like an ordinary couple.
“Let’s go, it’s about to start~”
“Yeah”
Gu Wei came over with snacks in his arms, Zhang Tianai happily stood up and took his arm , walked to the theater together.
After entering the cinema, the two took off their hats and masks.
"Have you seen all the previous Marvel movies?"
Gu Wei asked after sitting down.
“Have seen it, you forgot, we watched [Avengers 1] together in 2012, and I also watched the previous [Iron Man] and [Thor].
< br>I watched the few movies released after 12 years.”
“Haha~ I didn’t expect you to be a Marvel fan”
Gu Wei laughed twice and changed the subject, pretending that he didn't understand the meaning of Zhang Tianai's words.
Zhang Tianai pursed his lips and smiled, turning to look at Gu Wei's handsome face.
“I think you are very similar to a superhero in Marvel~”
“Who?
Captain America?”
Gu Wei touched his chin and said somewhat narcissistically:
"Chris Evans (the actor who plays Captain America) is indeed quite handsome, but he's even worse than me."
“I’m talking about Iron Man~”
Zhang Tianai smiled charmingly.
“This
Although Robert Downey Jr. is very masculine, he is far behind me. "
"I'm not talking about looks, I'm talking about you all being playboys."
Gu Wei smiled and raised his eyebrows.
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful. I'm suing you for defamation."
As he said, he stretched out his hand to scratch Zhang Tianai's itch.
"Wrong or not?"
"Hahaha~
I was wrong, I shouldn't have told you"
Zhang Tianai's pretty face trembled, begging for mercy.
While the two were laughing and playing, the lights in the theater dimmed and the movie started to show.
Zhang Tianai also hugged Gu Wei's arm and leaned against him.
[Captain America 3] Although named after Captain America, it actually tells the story of the Avengers.
The background story follows the aftermath of the events of [Avengers 2: Age of Ultron] and tells the story of a series of political issues triggered by the Ultron incident that intensified internal conflicts within the Avengers and eventually split completely.
In this movie, the superheroes no longer fight the bad guys, but a civil war breaks out. A team headed by Iron Man and a team headed by Captain America fight each other.
Gu Wei didn't pay much attention to the storyline. His attention was all on the Scarlet Witch.
Although Ou Mei doesn't appear in many scenes in this movie, every time he sees her, Gu Wei will think of some restricted scenes. He knows exactly where she is fat and where she is thin under the Scarlet Witch uniform.
More than two hours passed and the movie ended.
Gu Wei touched his chin, thinking that he would prepare a few Scarlet Witch uniforms in the villa next time he went to Los Angeles.
By the way, the costumes in the later TV series [WandaVision] also need to be made, and the style is also very special.
“Iron Man is so miserable, the murderer who killed his parents was actually Captain America’s best friend”
Zhang Tianai said while looking at the scrolling subtitles on the big screen.
"Yes, Crimson. Bah!
Iron Man is so miserable!"
Gu Wei echoed.
Going out and getting into the car, Zhang Tianai fiddled with his cell phone.
"[Captain America 3] actually had more than 600 million ticket sales in the first week!"
"It's not surprising, Marvel has laid out the Marvel Universe for so many years, and the later the movie gets, the better it gets. .
When the last movie "Avengers" is released, it will definitely trigger a movie-watching frenzy!"
Gu Wei looked determined.
He knows that 2019's "Avengers 4: Endgame" took in a global box office of US$2.798 billion, becoming the second-highest-grossing movie in film history, second only to "Avatar" with US$2.847 billion.
The domestic film market was relatively sluggish in May, and several films released during the May Day Golden Week failed to make a profit at the box office.
Among them were two films that Gu Wei attended the premieres of.
Xuan Zang of the Tang Dynasty, written by Xiao Mingge, received a poor response from the market after it was released in the mainland on April 30. In the end, it only received 33 million box office.
In terms of word-of-mouth, the performance of "Xuan Zang of the Tang Dynasty" is equally worrying. On Douban, the movie's rating is only 5.2, not even passing the passing mark.
Tang Yan's "Dream Partner" was even worse. It was released for more than two weeks and achieved a box office of 60 million yuan with a production cost of 90 million yuan.
However, the producer [Lehua Film and Television] did not suffer a loss, because on the eve of the film's release, [Dream Partner]'s distribution company [Hengye Film Distribution Co., Ltd.] guaranteed the film's box office of 300 million yuan.
Now the publishing company will lose all its pants. The movie's box office performance was not ideal, and Tang Yan even complained to Gu Wei on WeChat. He also took the time to call Gu Wei back to comfort him.
The crew filmed for less than a week. Wu Jing came back from Bincheng. The two crews officially met and the crew also started filming Gu Wei and Wu Jing in the same frame. Drama.
This includes the training of Gu Wei in the early stages of the movie when he was still a rookie, as well as the cooperative battle in the climax later in the movie.
"How's it going? Are you still used to shooting since you joined the group?"
Wu Jing patted Gu Wei on the shoulder and asked eagerly.
“There is no problem, everything went well during the past two weeks of filming.
Brother Jing, don’t forget, I was filming [Operation Mekong] in Thailand last year, and I was professionally trained in firearms combat.
The fighting scenes in our movie are all a piece of cake.”
Gu Wei said easily.
“Haha~ I knew, my brother would definitely be able to do it”
After Wu Jing joined the crew, the filming progress of the crew was a little faster. Fortunately for Zhang Tianai, she is a border girl. The protagonist basically has no fighting scenes in the movie.
However, Gu Wei and Wu Jing have a lot of action scenes. Gu Wei gets up very early every day, puts on makeup first, and then starts the day's shooting.
Now his scenes are shot almost from morning to night, and sometimes there are night scenes. Shooting all day, even with Gu Wei's physical strength, he feels a little tired.
Not to mention Wu Jing, he is not only an actor but also a director. He has many things to do every day. In addition to filming himself, the most important thing is to direct the operation of the crew.
Gu Wei experienced this kind of difficulty when he was filming "Tang Detective 2" in the United States last year.
Being both a director and an actor is really a day-to-day job, and I am so busy every day that I hit the back of my head.
Gu Wei had just finished shooting a scene that day, and Gu Wei came to the rest area to rest.
The assistant came up with his mobile phone.
"Boss, Mr. Yang's phone number."
Gu Wei was not surprised. Yang Liwen called at this time and probably had company matters to deal with him.
“Hello?”
“Mr. Gu, I’m disturbing you for filming.
That’s right, Mr. Yu from Bona called. They are cooperating with China Film Group. We are looking for you to play the role of the second male lead, Premier Zhou, in the movie "The Founding of an Army"
We also invited Zhang Tianai from our company to play Soong Meiling. "
Gu Wei frowned.
"When will the filming of [The Founding of an Army] start? "
" Mr. Yu said that it will be launched in August in the second half of the year. "
"No, I don't have time. This year's schedule is full, so I definitely won't be able to perform.
But Zhang Tianai has no problem taking over the role. "
"But Mr. Gu, [The Founding of the Army] is the third part of the "Founding of the People's Republic of China" series, and is a tribute film for the 90th anniversary of the founding of the army.
The screenwriter is Director Han, and the producer is Mr. La Peikang, the new chairman of China Film Group Corporation.
Given the relationship between our company and China Film, it is difficult to refuse this invitation.”
Gu Wei hesitated.
"I know everything you said, but there is nothing I can do if there is no schedule.
You reply to Yu Dong like this first.
I will call Director Han later to explain."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Tianai, who was sitting aside, asked curiously:
“What’s wrong, you mentioned me on the phone just now?”
Gu Wei picked up the mineral water on the table and took a sip.
"The company has given you a new play to play a small supporting role."
"Me?"
Zhang Tianai was a little surprised.
“It’s okay, I’ll follow your arrangement with the company and I’ll do whatever you want me to do”
"Haha~ I'm kidding you.
It is indeed a supporting role, but it is not an ordinary supporting role.
The third part of the "Jianguo Trilogy" series [Jianguo Trilogy" was first produced by China Film Group Daye].
The company has accepted the role of Soong Meiling, the third sister of the Song family.
How do you feel about it? Are you confident that you can play it well?"
Knowing that she could play such a famous historical figure, Zhang Tianai was a little excited, but she soon adjusted her mentality.
"No problem, I will definitely try my best!"
Gu Wei nodded.
“This time [The Founding of the Army] is all looking for young stars. With your current acting skills, I believe there will be no problem.”
“China Film must also be looking for roles for you, right? ”
"I was asked to play the second male lead, but unfortunately my schedule in the second half of the year is too full. It's okay to play a role that only lasts for one or two minutes, but I really don't have time for the main role."
"That is indeed a pity. .”
