Chapter 427 I will support you after graduation
Gu Wei returned to the crew to continue filming, and the discussion about "Operation Mekong" on the Internet became more and more intense.
Especially after the press conference, [Bona Films] obviously began to put more effort into publicity, using the gimmick of Gu Wei's first police film to hype various topics on the Internet.
Yu Dong also has a very clear mind. He knows that if he only emphasizes the adaptation of real events, the sincerity of the filming, and the tribute to the anti-drug police, it will not attract too much attention. After all, there are many young people online. Naturally not interested in some things.
But as long as Gu Wei is brought out and told about how hard he worked during filming, how many injuries he suffered, how much hormones he had in "Operation Mekong", etc., these news announcements will always attract a large number of netizens to discuss.
Therefore, Bona very cleverly focused the promotion of "Operation Mekong" on the Internet on Gu Wei, trying to make this slightly "righteous" film popular through his personal traffic.
Gu Wei himself was not surprised by this situation. He was prepared when he took on this drama.
Now is not 17 years later, there are not many so-called patriotic-themed movies and positive-energy movies on the market.
If you look at the domestic film and television box office rankings, you will know that the top few comedy films are either big-budget fantasy films or adaptations of some big IPs, such as "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Tomb Robbers" Notes] these.
For truly positive patriotic movies, apart from the star-studded "Foundation of the Country", "Foundation of the Party" and "Foundation of the Army" trilogy, the only one with a relatively good box office is "Take the Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" produced by Bona Films. and Wu Jing’s [Wolf Warrior 1].
But none of these movies has reached a box office of one billion.
In the domestic film and television industry, patriotic movies will really become popular. It will be next year when "Wolf Warrior 2" achieves sky-breaking box office results, and then "Operation Red Sea" will also be a hit. Only then will everyone know that, It turns out that patriotic-themed movies are so popular.
Then the film and television industry began to swarm into filming various positive films with patriotic themes.
Actually, if we say that this is a change in the Chinese film market, it is better to say that China’s national strength has become stronger and the people’s self-confidence has become stronger. When everyone becomes rich and feels proud of the country’s strength, naturally patriotic themes will change. Gotta be popular.
Netizens are generally paying close attention to Gu Wei's first police film.
Some of his fans are extremely looking forward to this modern-themed police action movie. After all, this is Gu Wei's first attempt at a modern gunfight action scene, and everyone wants to see what the effect will be.
【Gu Wei's first time filming a shootout scene between police and gangsters. The character on the poster looks a bit handsome, which is very different from his previous image. I wonder if the movie will bring surprises to the audience! 】
【Support my brother’s new movie, he is the best, come on Gu Wei! ! ! 】
【It feels like Gu Wei may have made a bad move this time, and his box office myth may be shattered with this movie. 】
[The person above made it clear that the Riddler will not die a good death! 】
[It is well known that police and gangster movies do not get very high box office. Cheng Long's "Police Story" IP in the first two years was only more than 500 million, and other police and gangster movies in Hong Kong did not even get 500 million.
Even if the protagonist is Gu Wei, he probably won’t get too high a score. After all, director Lam Chiu-yin is a typical Hong Kong director, so he probably won’t be able to produce anything new! ]
[Based on Bona’s exposed investment, "Operation Mekong" can earn 500 million at the box office.]
[This is a movie about the male protagonist Gu Wei, who has now been It’s set up. [Monster Hunt] and [Detective Chinatown 2] have a box office of billions. If this “Operation Mekong” doesn’t get more than 1 billion, even if the investors make money, the media will say that Gu Wei’s box office myth is no longer there. , 500 million would be a box office hit! 】
【I still believe that Gu Wei will surprise us. After all, he has never disappointed in these years, and I will go to the cinema to support him! ! 】
[I hope that when the box office is unsatisfactory, the media will have some moral integrity~]
[.]
The crew of [You Are My Glory] finished filming one scene, Gu Wei and Re Ba sat aside and rested.
"Gu Wei, I see that the public opinion on the Internet is not very good these days. Many people are not optimistic about your movie~"
Reba looked at her phone with a worried look on her face.
Gu Wei picked up the mineral water and took a sip, smiling nonchalantly.
“Don’t pay too much attention to it. Many of my original movies and TV series were not favored at the beginning, but later netizens were slapped in the face.”
He doesn’t care at all about the current Internet In other words, the film "Operation Mekong" itself is very good. Coupled with its traffic blessing, there is no problem that the box office exceeds the original version.
Although it will definitely not reach the level of "Monster Hunt" and "Tang Detective 2", it can definitely achieve an unprecedented result in the field of police and criminal films.
Just like Gu Wei's previous low-budget youth romance film "Left Ear", the final box office of more than 800 million was considered low among the movies Gu Wei starred in, but everyone knows that the 800 million box office Its gold content is unmatched.
Seeing Gu Wei's confident look, Reba didn't know what to say.
The crew filmed for a few more days, and Meng Ziyi joined the crew.
She replaced the original role of Jin Chen, playing the ex-girlfriend "Xia Qing" of "Yu Tu".
There are only a few scenes in total, and all the scenes can be shot in two days. It is considered a friendly guest appearance.
It is also very interesting to say that when Gu Wei was filming "A Slight Smile Is Alluring", Meng Ziyi played the female supporting school belle in it, who was considered Naza's love rival. Now it's "You Are My Glory" Li became Reba's love rival again.
"Sister Reba, long time no see~"
Mencius greeted Reba warmly from the crew.
She and Reba are acquaintances. They knew each other when they were filming [A Little Smile is Alluring]. They had a good time at that time. When they celebrated New Year's Day at Gu Weihu's house in Shanghai, they also Stayed in one room.
“Ziyi, I haven’t seen you for such a long time, I feel so beautiful again~” “Really, haha~ Sister Reba, you are so beautiful.”
After the two little sisters met, they started chatting.
“Okay, Ziyi, let’s go put on makeup and change clothes. You’re here to make a cameo for just a few scenes, hurry up and finish filming.
You can catch up on old times when we go out to dinner in the evening.”
Gu Wei, standing aside, said.
Meng Ziyi glanced at Gu Wei, stuck out her tongue cutely, and said to Reba:
"Sister, I'm going to put on makeup. We'll talk after the filming is over."
Reba smiled and waved to her.
After filming during the day, Gu Wei took Reba and Meng Ziyi to a private kitchen for dinner in the evening, as a way to catch up with Meng Ziyi.
Wang Yanlin and the three of them didn’t know Meng Ziyi, and she would leave the group immediately after filming tomorrow, so they didn’t call them.
In the private room, a table of delicious dishes was served. The two beauties did not drink, and Gu Wei also drank juice with them.
"By the way, Ziyi, you will graduate next year, right?"
Gu Wei asked casually while taking a bite of food.
"Well, I am a senior this year, and I will graduate in less than a year~"
"Has the company accepted any projects for you recently?"
For Unless it's a drama produced by the company, Gu Wei never pays attention to other film and television dramas under his own name.
He has a lot of things to do of his own, and the company is currently developing many projects, so he really doesn't have the energy to care about the work of his artists.
Of course, if the company has good projects, he will also think about these people. After all, they are all making money for him.
“There are two modern idol dramas, and I am the second female lead in both.
Sister Yang said that [Legend of the Condor Heroes] will also be remade, and the company will help me with the operation then.” "Mu Nianci" role."
Gu Wei touched his chin.
"Your development path is quite smooth. From the beginning, you played the third and fourth female roles, and now you are steadily playing the second female role."
Meng Ziyi looked at Gu Wei with a smile on his face, his eyes were crooked, and he used a coquettish expression. He said in a tone of voice: "But senior brother, I want to play the heroine~"
"Don't worry, at your current pace, you will be able to play the heroine after graduation next year~"
At that time, let the company run it for you and see if there is a suitable crew and role. If there is no good one outside, it is not a problem for the company to create a TV series to praise you."
Gu Wei picked up his glass and drank. He said with a sip of juice.
"Hehe, that's great. Senior brother, I knew you were the best!"
Mencius was extremely happy to receive Gu Wei's promise. If Reba wasn't still around, she would have hugged Gu Wei and kissed her. Two mouthfuls.
Ever since he met Gu Wei, a big star senior brother, in school and signed with his company, Meng Ziyi felt that his path to stardom was smooth.
Although I have not been able to play the leading role in the past two years, I have appeared in many famous dramas, which not only improved my acting skills but also gained some popularity.
Now that the senior brother she admires most has promised to let her play the heroine, it is obvious that she, Meng Ziyi, is not far from becoming famous!
Gu Wei looked at the excited Meng Ziyi and shook his head.
He didn’t give the other party a pat on the back. The female artists in the company, Zhang Tianai and Nazha, have all become top-tier. Only Meng Ziyi has not been famous in recent years. Yang Liwen mentioned it to him several times. .
Gu Wei also plans to find an opportunity to praise her. After all, he signed a young girl and earned her commission. She is still his school girl. She should take some responsibility. In the end, she can also give her a favor if she becomes popular. He makes more money.
Reba looked at Meng Ziyi with a smile on her face. In the past, she must have been particularly envious of him, but now she is filming a scene with Gu Wei, and she has no doubt that she will become famous. Hearing Gu Wei agree to Meng Ziyi's words, he would only be happy for the other party.
"Brother, I want to play the female lead, can you play the male lead?"
Meng Ziyi, who was in excitement, suddenly thought of something and asked.
Reba also looked at Gu Wei with concern. It didn't matter if she was the heroine of an ordinary TV series, but if she played the male and female lead with Gu Wei, then this opportunity would be too precious.
“We’ll wait until next year. I’m not sure if I’ll have a schedule.
You should just settle down and play the role at hand first. Don’t think too far ahead. The company will arrange these things for you. Okay"
"I got it."
Gu Wei did not give a definite answer, but Meng Ziyi still had high hopes for it.
