Chapter 478 Eating and movie screening
In a private dining room in Beijing.
The room is very warm. Gu Wei is still wearing the same clothes from [Starlight Awards], but he has taken off his suit jacket and wears only the white shirt underneath. The buttons on the collar are unbuttoned and the tie has long been taken off. .
Zhao Liying took off the skirt she wore for the event and changed into something more comfortable.
The two of them sat opposite each other around a small square table, and several plates of delicious food were already placed.
Gu Wei opened a bottle of Peach Blossom Drunk and filled it for Zhao Liying and himself.
“Try this, it’s an implanted product from the brand of the drama I’m going to air next year. I drank it during the filming. The alcohol content is not high and the taste is pretty good. It’s more suitable for women to drink.”
After Gu Wei finished pouring the wine, Zhao Liying curiously took the ancient wine bottle into her hands.
“Peach Blossom Drunk?
The alcohol content is 22° and the juice content exceeds 50%”
As he spoke, he put down the bottle, picked up his glass, put it under his nose, smelled it, and took a shallow sip.
"The wine is not too strong in taste, but has a strong fruity aroma. It really tastes good."
Gu Wei smiled and picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip.
“I remember your drama was called [Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom], right?
Nowadays, product placement in film and television dramas is really pervasive. Even fairy tale dramas can have ads embedded in them. .”
Zhao Liying sighed.
“Haha~
There is nothing you can’t imagine but nothing you can’t do.
At least the implantation of [三生三世] is quite consistent with the background world view of the TV series. Some TV series The implant is so embarrassing!”
Zhao Liying nodded with emotion, as if thinking of some bad memories.
"The [Starlight Awards] just ended. Fan Bingbing invited you out for dinner, why didn't you go?"
Gu Wei put a piece of squirrel fish into his mouth.
“I’ve already promised you, how can I break my promise?”
“But that’s Fan Bingbing, don’t all men like her like that?”
"So what about Fan Bingbing, I am not the kind of person who values sex over friends!
Besides, you are still Zhao Liying. Your fans know how much they envy me when they know that I eat with you."
Gu Wei replied nonchalantly.
He really didn't feel anything, Fan Bingbing Although she is good-looking, there are many good-looking female stars in the entertainment industry.
And the other party has officially announced her relationship with Li Chen. Today's appointment with him is just to get close and have a relationship.
The initiative. In Gu Wei's hands, he would naturally reject the other party if something happened.
Zhao Liying was still very satisfied with Gu Wei's answer, so she picked up the small wine glass in front of her and took another sip from him.
“Drink more slowly and eat more vegetables~
Cangzhou Iron Lion Head, Royal Imperial Pot, Zhili Sea Cucumber, Crystal Chicken Slices, aren’t these all the characteristics of your hometown? Food?
I specially brought you to this Hebei restaurant in Beijing."
Zhao Liying put down her wine glass, smiled happily, picked up a piece of sea cucumber with her chopsticks, and put it in her mouth. into the bowl.
"It's rare that after all these years, Boss Gu still remembers what I like to eat. The little girl is very frightened."
Gu Wei smiled.
The two of them ate vegetables and drank wine together, chatting about some interesting things about filming in recent years. When they were drunk, they couldn't help but reminisce about the filming of "Shanshan Is Here".
At that time, Gu Wei was just starting out, and Zhao Liying had just emerged because of "Legend of Lu Zhen". During the entire filming process, the two of them went from strangers to familiarity, and finally became good friends.
And the process of filming "Shanshan is Coming" was also very enjoyable.
"At that time, you had to eat a lot of food every day when filming. Even though the director shouted "Ka", you still kept talking.
After eating, you regretted it and complained to me that you must have gained weight or something. It was you. Greedy"
Gu Wei smiled and told Zhao Liying's embarrassing story.
“What?
It’s all plot requirements. My character just keeps eating every day, and I’m forced to do so!”
"Haha~ After the director shouted "Ka", no one forced you, why are you still eating?"
"I was afraid of wasting it."
Zhao Liying struggled to find reasons for herself.
The two clinked glasses and took a sip of wine.
“I still remember it was New Year’s Day in 2014, exactly 3 years ago.
Originally, the director gave the crew a half-day off, and everyone went out to celebrate New Year's Day. I thought you had your own arrangements, but it was almost evening and I ran into you at the hotel.
By the way, you were falling out of love at that time, right? "
"You are just broken in love! "
Hearing this, Zhao Liying said something with dissatisfaction on her face, baring her teeth and claws like a little tiger.
"Okay, okay, I'm not in love, we were both the same person at that time, so I I invite you to the room to have dinner and drinks together.
Just like today, there was a big table of dishes, and we spent a New Year's Day together like this."
Thinking of all the things that happened in the past, Zhao Liying couldn't help but feel full of emotion.
"At that time, she was not famous and she was young. , people are not as mature as they are now."
After three rounds of drinking, the two drank a small bottle of Peach Blossom Drunk together and ate a lot of vegetables. Zhao Liying's fair face turned slightly red.
"My fighting ability is not good today. I'm basically the one doing the eating. It's not your style Liying~"
Zhao Liying waved her hand.
"You will be filming in two days. You have to control your mouth. The king of the daughter country cannot be a fat guy!
By the way, Gu Wei, after all these years, you have a new daughter. Are you friends?”
Zhao Liying used Jiu Jin to ask the question she had always wanted to ask.
Gu Wei looked at the big expectant eyes of classmate Xiao Zhao across from him and laughed. "What about a new girlfriend and an old girlfriend? Liying, don't you know me yet? I've been alone since we filmed "Shanshan Is Here"
When he said that, Zhao Liying also understood what Gu Wei meant.
After all, the relationship between the two of them is indeed very good. Even when they were filming, Gu Wei never concealed anything in front of her.
“Haha~
It seems that your scumbag character has not changed at all.
You don’t have a real girlfriend, but you have a lot of confidantes, right?
I can tell by looking at your continuous scandals in the past few years."
Zhao Liying looked at him with contempt.
Gu Wei did not refute, and raised his hand with a smile. Zhao Liying took a sip from the wine glass.
The night was getting darker, and the two of them didn't drink too much. When they were full, they came out of the hotel to say goodbye and got into their cars.
In the nanny's car, Zhao Liying, who was a little drunk, couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth as she thought about the dinner party she had just had with Gu Wei.
After so many years of not working together, the relationship between the two has not become alienated.
“It hasn’t changed at all, still so good, but a scumbag is also a real scumbag”
This is Gu Wei. If it were another friend like Gu Wei, he would be messing around with women. Zhao Liying has long ignored the other party.
In everyone’s heart, there is always someone who is different
December 30th.
[Love Saint] is officially released nationwide.
This film is directed by newcomer director Wen Muye, with big star Gu Wei as the producer and special star, and brings together comedians such as Xiao Pan, Xiao Shenyang, Qiao Shan, Ai Lun, Chang Yuan, etc. The funny movie has achieved good box office results as soon as it was released.
As the New Year's Day schedule approaches, a total of 5 new films will be released on the 30th.
But except for [Love Saint], they all fell into the street.
The suspenseful new film "Where Did You Go That Summer" starring Brother Hu and the Song family had a box office of 10.64 million yuan on the first day, and the Douban score did not reach the passing mark.
The first film directed by Rao Xiaozhi [Hello, Madman! ], the box office on the day of release was only 3.65 million. It failed at the box office, but it had a good reputation other than word of mouth.
A comedy love movie "Dad's 3 Weddings" co-produced by models Tsang Liang and Dong Bailian who became popular due to variety shows, the national box office on the day of its premiere was only a pitiful RMB 260,000.
There is also "Unforgettable Gold and Silver Beach", which is one of the three no-movies with no famous director, no starring stars, and no publicity. It has almost no visibility, and most viewers will not be able to see it in the theater schedule. .
Except for [Sage of Love], the New Year’s Day schedule is basically for [The Great Wall], [Railway Flying Tiger] and [The Ferryman].
In fact, according to the earliest estimates by industry insiders, the popularity of these three movies will continue until around mid-January, so there will not be a heavyweight movie released on New Year's Day.
But no one expected that the small-budget comedy "Love Saint" would suddenly emerge.
On the 30th, [Love Saint] won the national box office championship with a score of 54.09 million.
Following it is "Railway Tiger" in its second week of release, with a single-day box office of 39.59 million yuan.
[The Great Wall], which has been in theaters for the third week, still has great appeal, ranking third with a box office of 24.04 million, and the total box office has exceeded 1 billion.
"The Ferryman" was affected by word-of-mouth. Although it was only in its second week of release, its single-day box office was not as good as "The Great Wall", with only 15.32 million yuan, ranking fourth.
It can also be seen from this data that in addition to "The Holy Love", the New Year's Day schedule is actually in the hands of three blockbusters.
Then the New Year’s Day holiday of 2017 comes.
On December 31st, January 1st and January 2nd, [Love Saint] firmly held the top spot at the national box office during the New Year's Day period with its good reputation and newly released high-ranking films. , with a total box office of 187 million in three days.
Including the first day, it earned 240 million yuan in four days. As a small-budget comedy, it is already considered a big hit.
To be honest, the quality of "Love Saint" is actually not that great. Although the leading actors are all familiar comedians, no one has been able to dominate the box office before. Director Wen Mu is also the first to independently direct a film. Feature-length movie.
Although Gu Wei, a big star producer, has attracted some audiences with his fame, after all, he is just a friendly guest in the movie. After watching the movie, no one will think that Gu Wei is in it. What a big role it plays.
The success of "Love Saint" is indispensable to these movies released at the same time.
Four days after its release, nearly 100,000 people gave "Love Saint" a score of 6.4 on Douban.
Everyone’s praise and criticism are mixed. They are not all praise. There are also many people who feel that the film is not very good.
But from a horizontal perspective, among the movies released in the past three weeks, except for "The Lover", the highest-rated "Railway Tiger" only has a score of 5.1, and "The Great Wall" and "The Ferryman" have a score of more than 4 and a score of 3. many.
We are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but we are afraid of comparison. It can be said that [Love Saint] can achieve good results mostly because of the support of its peers.
【A cheesy comedy, it was actually the best movie I saw at the end of this year. After watching "The Great Wall" and "The Ferryman", I felt that this movie was really well made! 】
【A sincere work of domestic life-style films, the remake pays homage to "The Lady in Red", very funny! 】
【I think it’s quite funny, not that it’s very good, but that I really can’t watch other films in this year’s Lunar New Year season.
The story is adapted from The Lady in Red, and it has the basis of the original story which is pretty good. The jokes made by several comedians from all over the world are still shitty.
The dream in the ordinary life of the middle class is like the flying red dress in the film. The photography is very good, it is a pure comedy! 】
【There are many parts that are very funny. Although she looks straight as a male, this is simply the so-called ultimate fantasy of a married man. Clara is so beautiful and cute that it is almost distorted.
However, the three views are not correct, so I have to use erotic dreams to realize it! 】
【It is reasonable to have an affair in middle age, but it is a bad movie with incorrect views! 】
[What is more disgusting and shameless than a cheating scumbag is - "Let's play, we have to go home after playing." Has your wife dug up your family's ancestral graves? 】
【The story is very interesting, and several comedians performed very well. There are many and dense baggage, and it is a qualified comedy.
What particularly surprised me was that Clara was so beautiful. The scene where she pressed her skirt in the underground parking lot was a perfect tribute to Monroe! 】
[I checked online and found out that Clara is a Korean star. Her face and figure are simply perfect. She has added another sexy goddess in the entertainment industry! 】
【.】
Netizens' comments on "The Holy Love" are mixed, and most of those who don't like it think the movie has a wrong outlook.
Men cheat in middle age and finally change their minds and return to the family. Do women owe them anything?
Many people think that "Love Saint" is the ultimate straight male cancer fantasy, which is the same as the previous Mahua movie "Charlotte".
It seems that men have repented and know that family and wife are the final destination, but in fact it is male chauvinism that is at work.
This argument is not surprising. Many people criticized "Charlotte" when it was released.
However, everyone generally believes that as a simple comedy, "The Lover" is still qualified.
