Chapter 412: We still need to make things right with Gu Wei
The next morning, the crew gathered again and prepared to set off.
"Hey, hasn't Brother Baoqiang come down yet?
Director, do you need me to call him?"
Xiao Pan was the first to notice that Wang Baoqiang was not there. In "Tang Detective 1", I worked with Wang Baoqiang, and besides Gu Wei, I have the best relationship with him in the crew.
"No, Baoqiang has already left."
Gu Wei replied.
“What’s going on?”
Just when everyone was confused, Gu Wei continued.
“Wang Baoqiang is anxious to go back and deal with some things, so he asked for leave from me and left first, and will not participate in the road show for the remaining few days.”
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
It was inevitable for an actor to take time off due to activities and schedule issues. Everyone just assumed that he had other urgent work to do and didn't pay much attention to it.
In the next few days, the road show of the promotion team of "Tang Detective 2" continued, and the box office continued to surge as expected.
On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of the second week, the movie received a box office of 185 million, 176 million, and 191 million respectively.
On the two weekend days, the single-day box office once again exceeded 200 million, with good results of 284 million and 257 million respectively on Saturday and Sunday.
In the second week of seven days, [Tang Detective 2] received an astonishing box office of 1.475 billion.
Since its premiere on July 28, the movie has been in theaters for 11 days and two weeks. It has been firmly ranked as the single-day box office champion in the country, and the box office has exceeded 100 million for 11 consecutive days. By the end of the second week, the total The box office has exceeded 2.6 billion.
In just two weeks, "Tang Detective 2" will catch up with "Monster Hunt"'s 2.67 billion score, and is about to become the second highest box office record in domestic film history.
At this time, media outlets of all sizes in the entertainment industry are vying to report on this 2016 summer hit movie.
Even after it has been released for two weeks and has a huge movie-watching group, the reputation of "Tang Detective 2" is still strong.
As the number of moviegoers increases, discussions about the film continue to grow both online and in real life.
[Tang Detective 2], just like [Mermaid] during the Spring Festival, has become a movie that has exploded in popularity and aroused national discussion.
Now not only Gu Wei, but everyone inside and outside the industry is full of confidence in [Tang Detective 2]. In the third week, it only takes one day, and the box office will definitely surpass [Monster Hunt]. Everyone We are all looking forward to when [Tang Detective 2] will break the box office record of [Mermaid] and become the new generation of domestic box office champion.
China Film Group, Chairman’s Office.
The new chairman La Peikang holds in his hand a detailed data report of [Tang Detective 2] from its release to the present.
Han Sanping retired as chairman of China Film Group more than a year ago due to age, but now he continues to work at China Film Group as an ordinary director.
As an old subordinate of Han Sanping, La Peikang, who served as deputy general manager of the Import and Export Branch of China Film Group Corporation, succeeded him as chairman.
“No wonder Director Han has always looked at this young man Gu Wei with special eyes, he is really a talent!
In the past, I have been working in the import and export branch, but I paid less attention to some projects at the group headquarters. . ”
“Director Han always likes to train new people, and I think Gu Wei and Lu Yang are the most outstanding talents he found before retiring!”
The speaker was Fu Ruoqing, the current deputy general manager of China Film Group. He is also an old man who has worked at China Film Group for decades.
La Peikang nodded.
"Old Fu, do you think Gu Wei's movie can surpass Zhou Xingchi's "Mermaid" to become the new box office champion in film history?"
"The chance is very high, and it is still far from the end of summer vacation. There are only 3 weeks left, and next week is the Chinese Valentine’s Day, plus [Tang Detective 2] has always had a strong reputation, I think it’s not a big problem to surpass [Mermaid]!”
“Based on your experience, Where will the box office of "Tang Detective 2" be? Can it reach a box office of 4 billion?"
Fu Ruoqing frowned slightly and shook his head.
“It’s too difficult. According to the normal movie box office trend, after the Chinese Valentine’s Day next week, the movie box office will inevitably see a big drop.
Because after the first three weeks, the box office of a movie The market potential has been basically explored. Those who like it and are interested have seen everything they should see.
If I want to go further, either the government will take action and call on large and small government agencies and companies in society to book the venue to watch.
Either the movie's popularity will rise to the next level and become a hotly discussed movie, attracting people who don't usually watch movies to go to the cinema.
Otherwise, based on my experience, 3.5 billion is the limit for this movie. "
"Although [Tang Detective 2] is very popular, it is just a comedy detective film after all, and it is impossible for the official to end it.
With the fame and popularity of the main creators such as Gu Wei, Wang Baoqiang, and Liu Yifei, everything that can be used for promotion was used to the limit during the announcement period. It is unlikely that the popularity of the movie will be increased to the next level. . "
La Peikang continued Fu Ruoqing's words, and then he sighed slightly.
"Although it is a pity, [Tang Detective 2]'s current results are already very good. So greedy! ”
As one of the co-producers of "Tang Detective 2", China Film will also make money if the movie sells well.
But as a state-owned enterprise, making money has never been the most important thing for China Film Group.
Let the domestic film market develop healthily and China's film industry continue to grow, which is the meaning of China Film's existence.
When Han Sanping was in office, he had been committed to discovering talented new directors and supporting the filming of domestic blockbusters, all for this purpose.
La Peikang succeeded Han Sanping and naturally took over his responsibilities.
To pursue his career in his position, the higher the box office of domestic movies, the happier he will be. Moreover, the "Detective Chinatown" series of movies can be regarded as single-handedly supported by China Film Group. These are his future political achievements.
“What do you think of Gu Wei?”
“A very talented and capable young man, and he is very humble. He has become famous at a young age and has achieved many things that many people cannot achieve in their lifetime. He has achieved great results, but he is not arrogant at all.
I have always felt that Gu Wei himself has a gentle and jade-like temperament."
Fu Ruoqing spoke highly of Gu Wei.
Counting "Tang Detective 2", China Film and Gu Wei have collaborated on 4 films. Fu Ruoqing has been the deputy general manager of the group headquarters and has also had interactions with Gu Wei.
La Peikang nodded and agreed with what Fu Ruoqing said.
He took over the China Film Group for more than a year, and his main focus was on straightening out the personnel relations and work within the group. He had met Gu Wei before and didn’t have much communication, but Gu Wei gave His impression was indeed good.
Now it seems that, just like Director Han, he has to have in-depth contact with the young man Gu Wei in the future, and it is best to have a good relationship.
He had a hunch that with Gu Wei's current fame and talent, he would be of great help to him in the future!
"By the way, I heard that Director Han's daughter is filming a new movie?"
La Peikang suddenly thought of something and asked.
Fu Ruoqing's eyes rolled slightly.
“Indeed, it is also a film produced by Gu Wei’s company [Wei Tianxia], and it is still being filmed.”
“This film is Jia Nu’s directorial debut, and Mr. Fu is paying attention to it. Wait until it is released soon. Please help me in every way.
We are all Dong Han’s old subordinates, and we are also uncles. We must take care of you when we need to take care of you.”
“Understood, Dong! ”
Fu Ruoqing responded with a smile.
As an old subordinate of Han Sanping, even if La Peikang didn’t say anything, he would still work hard for Han Jia’s first movie.
But without La Peikang’s nod, he could only help in private
Although both of them were Han Sanping's subordinates in the past, now that La Peikang has taken over, Fu Ruoqing is secretly helping the former leader's daughter. Who knows what he will think if he finds out.
Now that he has spoken, Fu Ruoqing can act openly and without any worries.
At the Beijing International Airport, the plane of Gu Wei and his party landed. Starting before the release of "Tang Detective 2", the roadshow activity in 24 cities across the country, which lasted for more than a month, officially ended.
The film’s creators and crew were all exhausted at this time. Continuous work and flying had made everyone physically and mentally exhausted.
Fortunately, the success of [Tang Detective 2] made everyone feel that their hard work was not in vain.
Coming out of the airport, Gu Wei took the lead and led Liu Yifei, Naza, Xiao Pan and others as well as the accompanying staff out in a mighty manner.
As soon as I left the security checkpoint, a circle of reporters with guns and cannons surrounded me.
There were countless fans and fans who came to pick up the plane. Some of them were holding posters of [Tang Detective 2], some were holding light signs of Gu Wei, Liu Yifei, Nazha and others, and some were Hold your phone high and turn on the flash to record and take photos.
The Capital International Airport is crowded with people at this time and has completely become a gathering place for fans and movie fans.
Gu Wei and the others had anticipated this situation, and the airport had also been prepared.
[Tang Detective 2]’s road show itinerary is planned in advance. There are traces of the dates and cities they will go to, and the time of their return to Beijing is not a secret.
Although Gu Wei once asked his fans not to come to pick him up at the airport, his fans are also very obedient and have always done a good job.
But the star of the cast of [Tang Detective 2] is not only Gu Wei, there are also many fans of Liu Yifei, Nazha and others, as well as some simple movie fans.
After knowing the crew's return time to Beijing, these people gathered together and came to the airport to pick them up.
If one fan comes to this kind of thing, others will follow suit. Gu Wei's own fans will no longer control it when they know about it, and come over one after another if they can. As a result, there was a scene of overcrowding at the airport today.
When the crew of [Tang Detective 2] appeared, deafening shouts rang out throughout the airport.
"Gu Wei, Gu Wei, you are so handsome!!"
"Qin Feng, I love you!!"
"Liu Yifei, so beautiful~"< br>
"."
Many media reporters who rushed to the front line also raised their microphones.
"Gu Wei, the movie has achieved such good results, do you have anything to say to everyone?"
"Do you have the confidence that [Tang Detective 2] will surpass [Mermaid] and become the new movie?" Movie box office champion? "
"Liu Yifei, how do you feel about your new movie's box office explosion and your previous reputation as a box office poison?"
"."
The reporters all said their own things, and they all wanted to get the first-hand interview materials of the "Tang Detective 2" crew after they returned to Beijing.
To their disappointment, Gu Wei and the others did not speak. They just trudged out of the airport under the escort of security personnel.
Yang Dan, who was standing at the outermost level of the circle and closest to reporters and fans, received Gu Wei's instruction and shouted loudly to the outside.
“Dear journalists, now is not a suitable time and place for interviews.
The actors are also very tired. We will hold a special press conference later and invite everyone to attend.
If there are any problems at that time, Director Gu and other actors will tell them all! "
After shouting twice in a row, the media present also knew that it was impossible to interview today, so they put down the microphone and started taking pictures like the fans around them.
If the interview failed, take some pictures The photo will be another news article, so it’s not a waste of time.
Gu Wei and the others will definitely not be interviewed here today. There are so many fans at the airport, which has already affected the normal behavior of other passengers. Tong Tong, if they continue to be interviewed here, more and more people will gather, and eventually it will be out of control
The best solution is to disappear quickly. As long as Gu Wei and the others leave, the fans will naturally disperse.
[Tang Detective 2] Several members of the crew were like small boats in the vast ocean, struggling to move forward in the ocean of fans. Finally, the group passed through the crowd and boarded the nanny van.
“Huh ~ these fans are so crazy”
After getting in the car, Liu Yifei touched her smooth forehead and wiped away a little sweat she had just come out of the airport.
“I didn’t expect that so many people would come today. My schedule is usually kept secret, and it’s been a long time since I’ve seen so many people pick me up at the airport.
Sister Yifei, you have worked hard these days. The promotion of our movie is basically over. You can take a good rest after you come back. "
"Haha~ It's not hard, it's not hard!
I never thought that our movie could be so popular. This morning it already had a box office of over 2.6 billion. It shouldn’t be a big problem if it exceeds 3 billion this week!
If I could get such a high box office through hard work, I would be willing to work hard for every movie! "
Liu Yifei said with a smile.
The box office of "Tang Detective 2" is more than all her previous movies combined. She feels that the movie she participates in this time can definitely become a milestone in her acting career.
Although it is mainly because of Gu Wei that she can get such a high box office, but she is the heroine of the movie, no one will refute it.
This is the performance she can tell in the future.
The nanny car drove slowly towards the urban area of Jingcheng. Liu Yifei was now in a state of exhaustion and excitement, a very strange feeling.
“Do you think our movie can surpass [Mermaid] in the end?”
Looking at the familiar scenery of Beijing outside the car window, Liu Yifei couldn't help but ask.
Gu Wei smiled slightly and said confidently.
“Of course, I have 100% confidence in [Tang Detective 2] from the first day the movie was released.
The box office will be close to that within this week, I guess. It will surpass "Mermaid" next week.
Originally, the number one title in film history was in my possession, but I just let "Mermaid" save it for the time being. Now that the new film is released, I will naturally take it back again
After all, Zhou Xingchi is old, and everyone knows whose era it is for domestic entertainment now! ”
Liu Yifei listened to Gu Wei’s domineering words and looked at his extremely handsome face, as if the handsome and domineering president in the novel had come to reality, full of unparalleled charm.
Gu After Wei finished speaking, he saw Liu Yifei looking at him blankly, his eyes a little straight.
He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.
"Sister Yifei? Sister Yifei? ”
"Huh?"
Liu Yifei reacted.
"What are you thinking about?"
"I'm a little tired. I'm thinking that my mother must be missing me these days."
Liu Yifei's face turned red, so she hurriedly Found a reason.
Gu Wei didn't care.
"The nanny car will take you home first. It will take about half an hour to arrive."
"Thank you."
Liu Yifei was a little embarrassed, she realized Gu Wei didn't react at all. He was relieved, but also a little disappointed.
It seems that Gu Wei really regards her as a good friend.
After getting in the car, Nazha, who had been sitting next to her without saying much, frowned slightly when she looked at Liu Yifei, who looked a little strange.
