Chapter 397 A strange combination of circumstances
Two days later, Gu Wei’s scenes were all finished.
He didn’t stay on the set for long. He said hello to Wu Jing and prepared to return home.
"Brother Jing, I will go back tomorrow. Please pay attention to your safety here."
Gu Wei's scene is over, but Wu Jing's is not over yet, and there are still some in the movie Due to filming work, the crew will have to stay in Africa for more than half a month.
"Okay, brother, you have worked hard during this period. You followed me to a place thousands of miles away to film, and you suffered a lot."
Wu Jing patted Gu Wei on the shoulder and said with emotion. .
"Hey~ Why are we talking about this? It's all to make a good movie. Brother Jing, you don't have to be too polite to me!"
Wu Jing laughed.
“Okay, the conditions here don’t allow it, and the crew’s filming schedule is tight, so I can’t enjoy the final party for you. When [Wolf Warrior 2] is all filmed, we two brothers will have a good time after returning to China. Let’s get through it!”
After saying goodbye to Wu Jing, Gu Wei got on the plane back to Beijing that night.
It takes 13 hours to fly from South Africa to Beijing. Gu Wei's plane took off at night and landed at Beijing International Airport the next morning after a comfortable sleep.
Since July, the promotion of [Detective Chinatown 2] has been in full swing.
Offline movie theaters across the country have put up billboards and posters for "Tang Detective 2", especially Wanda Cinemas, where many theaters have been decorated with a Tang Detective theme.
Online, with the release of trailers one after another on the official Weibo, this upcoming movie has become more and more discussed on the Internet.
"In addition to the efforts of the three publicity companies, various advertisers that were negotiated before the filming of the film have also spontaneously promoted [Tang Detective 2].
So now the momentum of our film is very huge.< br>
All kinds of online and offline advertisements are almost overwhelming.”
In the office, Gu Wei, who had returned to the capital, listened to Yang Liwen’s report and nodded slowly while looking at the documents in his hand.
[Tang Detective 2] has a total investment of 350 million, including 250 million production cost and 100 million publicity fund. It is an authentic domestic super blockbuster.
The first film's box office performance exceeded 1 billion, and with the four domestic entertainment A-list stars Gu Wei, Wang Baoqiang, Liu Yifei, and Nazha starring, everyone in and outside the industry believed that this movie was bound to be a hit.
So during the preparation stage of the film, we received numerous offers of cooperation from advertisers.
Finally, through layers of screening, there are still more than ten products that can be successfully implanted into the movie without affecting the development of the plot.
For example, the Xiaomi mobile phone that the protagonist group has been using.
I always carry the Swiss Marvin watch on my hand.
Tang Ren went to find his master, and Mo Yougan said he would get a discount by using his credit card from China Merchants Bank.
Huang Xi made a guest appearance as a staff member of China Car Rental. When introducing the product, he was kicked away by Bao Qiang, "How long has it been and it's still implanted!".
After the fall, Huang Xi did not forget to continue to broadcast "Rent a car in China, travel overseas, don't forget to give a five-star review."
The appearance of the three detectives riding a horse-drawn carriage in Times Square appeared on the big screen of Times Square in a live broadcast, which was captured by Tengxun now’s live drone tracking and aerial photography.
With Baoqiang’s oral broadcast “Tengxun now live broadcast, it’s hard not to think it’s popular!”.
In addition to these few particularly obvious ones that cost a lot of money to the sponsor, there are also some shots that pass by in a flash and cost a small amount of money. The audience will not be able to see them unless they look carefully.
However, no matter big brands or small brands, when the movie was released, they all spontaneously promoted "Detective Chinatown 2" online and offline for their own publicity effect.
“I have arranged for you, boss, to record [Happy Camp] next week. After that, members of the Light Project’s roadshow in 24 cities across the country will officially begin, and some of the roadshow cities will also start screening movies, [Tang Tan 2】The publicity will enter its climax.”
“It’s very good. I can hardly find any fault with this publicity and distribution process.”
Gu Wei put down the document in his hand and admired it! One sentence.
"How are the several films controlled by our company now?"
"The post-production of [The Legend of Chu Qiao] and [Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossom] are almost in progress. Wu Jinyuan and Lin Yu are divided into two Every director has put their energy into the preparation of the new drama.
Everything from the casting of the TV series to the location selection of the filming location, the production of props, the selection of the staff, etc. are proceeding in an orderly manner.
[Sweet Honey as Ashes as Frost] is expected to be released on the 25th of this month. [You Are My Glory] Due to issues regarding the release of the movie, Director Lin has set the release date at the end of August.
>
"Take My Brother Away Quickly" was already in production at the end of last month when you went abroad to film. Ms. Han and Rao Xiaozhi co-directed the film, and the filming location was chosen by Ms. Han in Xiamen City."
“Who did Director Han find for the heroine of this movie? "
Gu Wei asked curiously.
"The heroine Shi Miao found a child star named Zhao Jinmai, who once appeared in the children's drama [Balala Little Demon Fairy] He is just 14 years old this year in the urban family emotional drama "Little Farewell" directed by Wang Jun, which is exactly the same age as the heroine in the drama. "
"Zhao Jinmai? ”
Gu Wei was a little surprised.
“What about the actress of the second female lead “Miao Miaomiao”?”
“Director Han chose a very good-looking amateur named Zhou Ming among the female students who took the art exam this year. , she has already signed an actor contract with her.”
As Gu Wei’s housekeeper, Yang Liwen is very familiar with the company’s projects. She doesn’t have to think about which actors to choose for any project, she just opens her mouth.
“Zhou 吔~”
Gu Wei was not unfamiliar with this name. He remembered that the other party would also be a young star in the entertainment industry in the future, but he was still young now.
According to the normal timeline, he should have been in school for two years before he came out to film and make a name for himself.
But it seems that good-looking people will never be buried.
"I remember recommending Zhang Zifeng to Director Han when I was chatting with her before. That little girl has good acting skills. Why was Director Han useless in the end?"
Yang Liwen thought for a while.
"Director Han has initially contacted Zhang Zifeng, but she is currently filming the TV series [Our Boyhood] produced by Mango Channel. She is cooperating with TFBOYS, which has been very popular in the past two years, and the schedule cannot be arranged."
"That's it."
Gu Wei feels that the world is still very strange. In order to praise Peng Yuchang, he made the movie "Take My Brother Away Quickly" a year in advance, but the original heroine missed it due to time issues. .
But he doesn’t care too much. The cost of this movie is too low, and its genre also determines that the box office limit will not be too high.
Now that Han Jia Nyeo has been hired as the director, he feels that everything is up to the other party and the director has the freedom to choose any actors.
"Do these two girls have a brokerage company now?"
"Boss, I was just about to tell you about this."
When Yang Liwen mentioned this, her face became serious.
“Because Zhao Jinmai was born as a child star, he signed an early contract with [Shiba Cultural Agency Co., Ltd.] founded by gold medal agent Wang Jinghua.
Zhou Jin is a pure vegetarian and only took the exam this year. I haven't signed a contract with any agency yet.
Her hardware is in good condition and she is beautiful. Some small companies in the industry have already extended an olive branch to her.
But the little girl had some thoughts and refused.
After Director Han signed the acting contract with her, I specifically talked to her. Zhou Ming was not opposed to signing with our company, and she herself said that she was still your fan.
Boss, do you think you should sign her over? "
"Sign it, since it is the person selected by the Korean director, there is no doubt about his quality, and our company has provided resources, so the wealth will not go to outsiders. ”
Gu Wei nodded in agreement.
"Okay!"
Yang Liwen happily agreed, turned and walked out of the office.
