Chapter 436 Unprecedented
After Gu Wei returned to the team, he filmed normally, and "Operation Mekong" was still a hit in theaters.
With seven days of National Day plus one day of premiere, [Operation Mekong] has a box office of over 100 million for 8 consecutive days. Starting from October 2, the single-day box office fell for 4 consecutive days. Only the last day of National Day saw a decrease in box office. The revenue was 114 million.
At the end of the National Day season, [Operation Mekong] grossed a total of 1.084 billion in box office within 8 days of its release, and the total box office officially exceeded 1 billion.

[Operation Mekong] After its box office exceeded 1 billion, various media outlets rushed to report on it.
Lin Chaoxian is hailed as a new generation of great theme directors. Netizens have praised his plot and action design in the movie, and feel that he has set a new path for future theme films.
One of the leading actors, Zhang Hanyu, has also been widely praised by the audience. Everyone agrees with his positive role as a soldier and policeman and thinks it is very consistent with his own temperament.
Of course, the real focus of public opinion is Gu Wei, who is the absolute star of the movie.
Before the release of "Operation Mekong", many people were not optimistic about his appearance this time, thinking that this main theme police action film was the beginning of Gu Wei's fall from the altar.
At that time, this argument was quite popular.
Most viewers feel that with the participation of Gu Wei, "Operation Mekong" may not be a hit at the box office, but it will definitely be no problem to make back the money or even make a small profit.
At that time, it was generally believed that the box office limit of this movie was about 500 million.
After all, police and gangster action movies have never achieved very high box office. Even with the addition of Gu Wei, some people are not optimistic about whether it can break the previous record.
Actually, this box office figure is not low, but it is much worse than Gu Wei's previous movies.
If this result is achieved in the end, many people will definitely jump out to badmouth Gu Wei, thinking that his box office appeal is nothing more than this.
After [Operation Mekong] was released, it became a hit at the box office and quickly slapped many people in the face with the facts.
Now the second week of the movie has not yet ended, and it has already entered the billion-dollar box office club, and it is also the only main theme movie among domestic movies to have a box office of over one billion.
Before this, the best-performing main theme film was "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" directed by Xu Ke, with a box office of 880 million.
According to the current box office trend of the movie, it is certain that the box office will plummet after the National Day release. However, [Operation Mekong] has a very high reputation. It will not be difficult to exceed 1.5 billion in the future. Will it reach 2 billion? Hard to say.
However, regardless of the final box office performance of the movie, it is now a fact that it will be a hit.
The media naturally praised Gu Wei again. The major film and television companies, producers, directors and star actors in the industry once again witnessed Gu Wei's unrivaled strong box office appeal.
To be able to bring a main theme movie to such a high box office level is really amazing in this time period.
It’s only 2016 now. Whether it’s the big companies in the industry or moviegoers, there is no concept that a blockbuster with a main theme will be a hit.
In the past few years, few movies with main themes have really made money, and "Taking the Tiger Mountain" and Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 1" are among the best.
Both "The Great Cause of Founding of the People's Republic of China" and "The Great Cause of Founding of the Party" achieved high box office by gathering celebrities.
The final film in the trilogy, "The Founding of the Army," has not yet been released. Gu Wei was approached about that film, but he did not participate due to scheduling issues.
Now the cooperation between Gu Wei, Zhang Hanyu and Lin Chaoxian has directly broken all previous records and brought the box office performance of the main theme movie to a whole new level.
Beijing, Guangguang Media Headquarters.
In the president's office, Wang Changtian held a report sent by his assistant and looked at it happily.
The report contains detailed box office data for all movies currently in theaters, including the specific box office of which movie in which city, which is reflected above.
Now that the entire country is connected to the Internet, the data after a movie is released is becoming more and more accurate and specific.
Major film and television companies can see from the detailed box office data of movies whether the movie is popular in the south or the north, whether it sells better in first-tier cities or in second- and third-tier cities.
These accurate data allow film companies to better control the tastes and preferences of audiences, and can more specifically find matching audience groups for future promotions.
Among the three blockbusters released during the National Day holiday, "Passing Through Your World" was jointly produced by Enlight Media and a company under Deng Chao's name, and was promoted by Enlight and Taopiaopiao.
The cost of the movie was only 70 million, and after 10 days of release, the total box office has exceeded 550 million, which is a huge profit!
Although the movie's single-day box office dropped a lot after the National Day release, it shouldn't be too difficult to get another two to three hundred million.
However, in the table, the data of "Passing Through Your World" has always been ranked second. The real champion of the National Day movie is undoubtedly Gu Wei's "Operation Mekong".
“It’s really amazing, it’s so popular no matter what you shoot!
I don’t know if it’s because Gu Wei’s box office appeal is too strong, or if blockbusters with the main theme are about to become popular now.”
Wang Changtian naturally ignored other National Day movies including "Ace Comes", and only paid detailed attention to the films produced by his own company and "Operation Mekong".
After a while, Wang Changtian put down the data sheet in his hand and called his secretary in.
“I previously communicated with [Wei Tianxia], when will the celebration party of [Detective Chinatown 2] be specifically scheduled?”
[Detective Tang 2] will be officially released at the end of September. It was released in two months and had a box office of 3.9 billion. However, as the main producer, [Wei Ming Xia] has not held a celebration party, and Guangguang has also asked several times.
"Mr. Wang, the news from Manager Yang of [Wei Mingxia] a few days ago is that it will be held in Beijing next Friday."
Wang Changtian nodded.
[Tang Detective 2] has made Guangguang a lot of money, and Gu Wei must be thanked at the celebration party.
The most important thing is that he also wants to have a chance to explore the other party's tone and when preparations for the third part will begin.
[Tang Detective 2] There is an Easter egg left at the end of the movie. The third part is obviously going to Tokyo, but it is Gu Wei who has the final say as to when it will be filmed and how it will look like.
As far as he knows, there is no sign of preparation for [Tang Detective 3] so far. Gu Wei himself has been busy with his other film and television dramas, and the film announced by [Wei Ming Xia] There is no single [Tang Detective 3].
With the foundation of the first two films, Wang Changtian couldn't imagine what kind of height the final box office of the third film would reach.
But no matter what, it will be an extremely sweet big cake, and the knife for dividing the cake is in Gu Wei's hand, and it is up to him to decide how much light can be divided into it.
At the same time, the president's office of Huayi Brothers.
Brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei are also discussing the box office of the National Day movie market.
"Gu Wei is really awesome. The box office of his main theme movie has brought him to such a high level. This box office appeal is really amazing!
I'm not surprised that Guangguang's "Passing Through Your World" has such good results. Deng Chao has been really popular in recent years.
However, Andy Lau and Xiao Ming’s comedy film failed too miserably. Together with Wang Jing’s fame, the entire National Day season took over 100 million in box office in 7 days. [Ace Funny Ace] is expected to return It’s difficult.”
Wang Zhonglei sat on the sofa at the bottom of the office and sighed while making tea.
“This result is normal, Hua Zai and Xiao Ming have taken photos over the years. Too many bad movies have consumed a lot of the audience's goodwill towards them. Wang Jing is even more famous for making bad movies, and the combined box office appeal of the three of them is not as good as that of Gu Wei.
In addition, [Ace Teases Ace] is indeed bad enough, so it’s reasonable for the audience not to buy it. ”
Wang Zhongjun sat opposite him and said naturally. Although Huayi has no movies released during the National Day holiday, as the boss of the largest private film and television company in the industry, he has always paid attention to the movies released on the market.
With so many years of experience, he feels that he has a clear understanding of the reasons why a movie will be a hit or a flop after it is released.
“But having said that, I thought [Operation Mekong] was indispensable at the box office before, but it’s still beyond my expectation that it has become such a hit!”
After Wang Zhongjun finished speaking, he said He picked up the teacup, blew on it, and took a small sip.
"Brother, haven't you always been very optimistic about Gu Wei?"
Wang Zhonglei asked strangely.
“I’m optimistic. I thought that with Gu Wei’s box office appeal, it would be enough to bring the final box office of [Operation Mekong] to 1 billion. I didn’t expect that it would already exceed 1 billion just after the National Day. , now there is hope for 2 billion!
I underestimated Gu Wei's popularity, and also underestimated Lin Chaoxian's ability.
Director Lin is not easy. I watched the movie and shot it. Very good, high quality
When "Operation Mekong" was first released, it was obviously Gu Wei who brought the first wave of traffic. If it is a movie of average quality, it will only get this wave. If the reputation is not good later, the box office will plummet.
[Operation Mekong], however, relied on its super high quality to catch this wave of traffic. Word of mouth spread, and the box office naturally soared! ”
Wang Zhongjun analyzed in detail the reasons why [Operation Mekong] was so popular.
“Haha~
I think Xiang Huaqiang of [China Star] must be Not very happy.
Boehner also did the promotion. His "Legend of the Gods" failed, but Boehner's own movie was a hit. The two movies were released just over a month apart. I would definitely think that Boehner didn't try his best at that time. ! "
Wang Zhongjun shook his head.
"Xiang Huaqiang still has the same old mentality of big investment and big stars, and failure is doomed.
By the way, have you communicated with Gu Wei about the startup time of [Predecessor 3]? ”
“We made an agreement with him some time ago, and according to his schedule, we arranged to start filming at the end of November. ”
Wang Zhongjun nodded.
“Very good~
The company’s main film project in the second half of this year will be [Exes 3], so we must not make any mistakes!”
“Understood.”< br>
The crew of [You Are My Glory].
Gu Wei came out to rest after filming a scene and saw Tian Xiwei talking to Jiang Peiyao on her cell phone.
"What are you talking about, are you so happy?"
Reba, who had played with him, also cast a curious look.
Xiaotian turned his head and looked at Gu Wei with an excited look on his face.
“Brother Wei, there’s been news about you on the Internet recently. [Operation Mekong] has been a hit, and the media and netizens are praising you!”
What Tian Xiwei said didn't surprise Gu Wei at all. To be precise, he was used to this kind of praise.
“What did you say?”
Oda rolled his eyes.
“You are said to be the number one box-office person in domestic movies, a box-office elixir, and whatever you act is popular.
By the way, I see there is a media that has calculated all the movies you have filmed since your debut. Movies, including the still popular "Operation Mekong", said that the total box office of the movies starring you, Brother Wei, has exceeded 10 billion!"
As soon as she said this, Reba and Jiang Peiyao, who were sitting next to her, took a breath of surprise and looked at Gu Wei eagerly.
"I didn't pay attention to this. I have never calculated it specifically, but it seems to be similar when you put it this way."
Gu Wei was not too surprised. For him, tens of billions of box office is not a difficult task. , [Wolf Warrior 2] has not been released yet. This result will be achieved sooner or later, but it is still a bit unexpected to come so early.
He touched his chin, looked at it slightly, and mentally calculated the box office of the movies he made in the past few years since his debut.
[Xiuchundao 1 and 2] took 200 million and 1 billion respectively, [Tang Detective 1 and 2] took 1 billion and 3.9 billion respectively, [Left Ear] took 800 million, [Monster Hunt] 2.6 billion, and "Operation Mekong", which is currently in theaters, has taken more than 1 billion.
It’s not unknown that the total box office of the movies he starred in has reached 10.5 billion. Among them, "Operation Mekong" is still collecting box office. By the time it is released, the total box office will definitely exceed 11 billion.
Just as he was thinking about it, Gu Wei's cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Yang Liwen.
“Hey, Sister Yang~
I know, yes, no problem.
This is also a good thing, just publicize it normally. There is no water in these achievements of mine, let fans follow It's okay to be happy
Say hello to Bona, this will also be a good publicity for [Operation Mekong] which is currently being released."
Gu Wei hung up the phone after chatting for a few words.
Company They obviously noticed that Gu Wei's personal box office performance exceeded 10 billion, and Yang Liwen called him to ask if he wanted to use this to promote it.
If he were an ordinary star, his agent and the team behind him would have already started. The draft was bought, but Gu Wei didn't lack this traffic, and he usually kept a low profile. Yang Liwen was not sure whether he was willing to be in the limelight, so she called Gu Wei for advice.
He thinks this is a good opportunity to promote the movie. He is always good at taking advantage of every promotional point when his works are released
"I just did some calculations, and the total box office of the movies I starred in did exceed 10 billion. It should be more than 10.5 billion now."
Gu Wei said to the three people around him with a smile.
“Wow, Brother Wei, you are indeed my idol, you are so awesome!!
I feel like it will be great if I can achieve one-tenth of your achievements as an actor in the future~”< br>
Tian Xiwei opened his big round eyes and said exaggeratedly.
Reba and Jiang Peiyao also looked at him with admiration.
One of them is in theater and the other is Beijing Film Academy. They both graduated from acting majors. They know what an amazing achievement it is to star in a movie with a box office of over 10 billion.
It can be said that in terms of domestic entertainment at present, Gu Wei is the only one who belongs to Scorpion.
Although it is not unprecedented, it is certainly unprecedented.
