Chapter 603: You two are in good condition, like a couple
On the first weekend of New Year’s Day, [Star Wars: Episode VIII: The Last Jedi] was released.
It seems that it will overwhelmingly crush other films, but the film schedule of [Ex 3: Goodbye Ex] is still as high as 31.3%, and the box office has not been affected at all.
On the two-day weekend of the 6th and 7th, [The Ex 3] earned more than 300 million yuan in box office, and the total box office exceeded 1.4 billion yuan.
However, on Monday, the third week of the 8th, the movie’s single-day box office finally dropped to less than 100 million.
[It will be 1.5 billion soon! Isn’t it possible that humans can’t stop the box office of “Ex 3: Goodbye Ex” from continuing to explode? 】
【Watching "Exes 3" again, a large number of people of all kinds were crying and fainting in the cinema. In the scene I watched, some people did leave due to boredom, but most of them were crying. My A couple of friends even broke up because they watched this movie together. 】
[It’s not that “Ex 3” is toxic, but how many relationships have the post-95s generation had? 】
【The success of "Exes 3" depends entirely on how unforgettable the love of the post-95s generation across the country is. This is a serious blow to the vast number of singles across the country like me. 】
【.】
The box office trend of "The Ex 3" has slowed down a bit in its third week of release, but it has not stopped it from becoming the first blockbuster movie in 2018.
Maoyan’s box office forecast has been changed again and again, and it is now 2.2 billion yuan.
According to data from multiple platforms such as Tencent Index, Baidu Index, Maoyan and Taopiaopiao, it can be seen that [Executive 3] has the highest audience age ratio among people aged 20-24, with an average of 20-24 years old. 40% of the total number of platforms, so people born in 1995 or even after 2000 are the main contributors to the box office of this movie.
In fact, [Youth] and [Ex 3], which were released last month, have the same purpose.
A story about youth in the 1980s and 1990s brought a large number of audiences who were no longer young into the theater to reminisce about their "youth" with director Feng Xiaogang.
"Non-mainstream audiences" born in the 1950s and 1960s have become an unexpected factor triggering the box office rise of "Youth".
The two films target different audiences, but the same heart-warming stories that resonate with the audience are the key to their respective successes.
[Cohabitation in Time and Space] was filmed in the Wukang Building on Taojiang Road in Shanghai.
This building is quite old, and the surrounding environment is more in line with the 1990s style where the male protagonist Lu Ming lives.
Of course, this is an exterior scene, and the interior scenes need to be built by the crew themselves.
In fact, it is very simple. It is the house in the movie where the hero and heroine are overlapped by the turbulence of time and space. Half of it is the style of 1999 and the other half is the style of 2018.
On the morning of the 8th, the crew of [Cohabitation in Time and Space] officially started filming in Shanghai.
Xu Zheng showed up with director Su Lun, Gu Wei, Liu Yifei and other film creators.
"Sister Yifei, she looks not in a good mood." There were many people at the scene. Gu Wei was wearing a 1999 retro outfit, with a yellow and white plaid shirt on top, light blue jeans on the bottom, and blue canvas. Shoes, and even hair are combed into a rather old-fashioned style.
Actually, Gu Wei's role as Lu Ming is really more suitable than the original version of Lei Jia Yin, not only in terms of acting, but also in terms of appearance.
It is written in the script that Lu Ming was born in 1974, his zodiac sign is Tiger, and he was 25 years old in 1999, and Gu Xiaojiao was born in 1987, and he is 31 years old in 2018.
The original Tong Liya said that 31 years old is not bad, but because of Lei Jia’s appearance, his small eyes and face are wrinkled when he smiles, and he doesn’t look like a 25-year-old frustrated young man.
There is no difference between Lu Ming in 1999 and Lu Shiyi in 2018. Standing next to Tong Liya, he is obviously much older than her.
Now these two roles are played by Gu Wei and Liu Yifei. Needless to say, Gu Wei is just the right age. He just needs to be more mature when playing Lu Shiyi.
Liu Yifei was born in 1987, which matches Gu Xiaojiao’s age perfectly.
"I knew you would laugh at me if I met you again.
I lost to you. If you have any requests, feel free to ask for them, as long as I can fulfill them."
Liu Yifei is wearing a fashionable and trendy look, white. A small shirt, a denim-style short skirt, two long and straight white legs, and a pair of black high heels.
However, there was not much smile on her face. Looking at Gu Wei who was smiling, she rolled her eyes.
“Don’t roll your eyes, rolling your eyes always reminds me of another person”
"Who?"
"Ahem. Even if you tell me, you don't recognize me." Of course it was someone who later became known as Xiao Liu Yifei.
“I didn’t say anything. Besides, our movie hasn’t been released yet?”
“[The Ex 3] has already exceeded 1.5 billion in box office, and [Second Generation Goblin] has only just released More than 200 million, there is no comparison, the gap will only get bigger
The difference may be 2 billion in the end.
I am willing to admit defeat." He said with a pair of beautiful big eyes looking at Gu Wei pitifully.
Gu Wei looked Liu Yifei up and down, showing a malicious smile.
"Hey~ you You can't think of bad things, you have to choose what I can do, and don't go too far."
"It's a waste of so many years of friendship between us, you think of me as someone.
My character is guaranteed, okay?”
Gu Wei was speechless, then muttered softly.
“I asked you to call me daddy but I don’t agree.”
“What did you say?”
“No, I didn’t think of asking for anything at the moment, so I’ll bear with you first. I’ll wait until I think of telling you.”
“What are we talking about? I’m so happy. I just heard something about winning and losing.”
Xu Zheng, who had just been standing nearby talking to the staff, came over. He was dressed very casually, with a white shirt and black trousers, and a domed hat on his head to cover his bald head.
"We made a bet when we met last month. There happened to be a movie released on New Year's Day, and we bet on who would have the most box office?" Gu Wei explained.
"Wow, Yifei, you actually dare to compete with Gu Wei at the box office. Most people in this circle of courage don't have this courage." After hearing this, Xu Zheng opened his eyes and looked at Liu Yifei.
“No, it was said at that time that his film had to be worth a billion dollars more than mine to be considered a winner, and you saw it too.”
"Haha, the movie box office is too unpredictable and difficult for individuals to control."
Xu Zheng can still talk and comforted Liu Yifei.
After all, she is his heroine, so she cannot be said to be overestimating her abilities, although that is the case.
"You two are in pretty good shape right now."
Xu Zheng looked at Gu Wei and Liu Yifei and said.
"What's good?" Liu Yifei was a little confused.
“There is no sense of strangeness between each other, and the communication is very casual, like a couple.
Ours is a romantic comedy after all, and it is very important for the male and female protagonists to have a sense of connection.”
After hearing this, Liu Yifei's mouth turned up slightly and she didn't say anything.
"My first movie was with Yifei. She was the first big star I met. She has been an old friend for so many years. Of course it's casual." Gu Wei shrugged.
It’s not like I’ve never acted as a couple before, so there’s still no shortage of CP.
The three chatted for a few more words. It was almost time and the power-on ceremony began.
Although Su Lun is the director, Xu Zheng is in charge of the overall situation, and he basically has the final say on everything on set.
The collaboration between Gu Wei and Liu Yifei obviously attracted a lot of media attention, and many reporters came to the scene.
“.We want to make a fantasy comedy film with the intersection of time and space as the main line, and the core value of this film is also very interesting, which is “If you had the opportunity to choose your life again, what would you choose?” .”
The producer Xu Zheng also spoke during the interview.
“.I was able to take this film because the film itself is a funny story with laughter and tears.”
“.I was moved by the story after I got the script. In addition, Director Xu said that the male lead was Gu Wei, so of course he accepted the film without hesitation.”
The reporter at the scene asked the two protagonists why they accepted the film.
“Gu Wei and Liu Yifei are the two actors we think are most suitable for the roles. Regardless of age, image, temperament, acting skills, etc., they are the perfect choices for Lu Ming and Gu Xiaojiao!”
Xu Zheng praised the two of them.
The opening ceremony ended and filming officially began.
The shooting task on the first day was also very simple, one outdoor scene and one indoor scene.
After Lu Ming and Gu Xiaojiao unexpectedly lived together because of overlapping time and space, Lu Ming took Gu Xiaojiao to the year 1999 and saw Gu Xiaojiao’s original home, his living father and his child. Own.
But the future self and the present self cannot be too close, otherwise the space will be unstable and everything will tremble.
After the two of them went on a trip, Gu Xiaojiao returned home feeling a little disinterested.
The scenes on the first day were relatively simple, mainly polishing the lens.
The cooperation between Gu Wei and Liu Yifei is absolutely fine, but not only the two of them, but the entire crew needs to work together.
“How was your performance just now?”
“Who is it?”
"Nonsense, of course it's me. It's just the two of us in this scene. How can I ask you how your performance was?"
I came down all morning to finish filming the outdoor scene. It's actually very simple. People get on the bus and arrive at Gu Xiaojiao's original home.
After entering the small courtyard, she found that she could not get close. Gu Wei helped her out, and then the two of them held the railing outside and said a few words.
"Not bad, although she is the first Oh my god, but the expressions, emotions, and lines are all passed.
The director is watching, and he can’t pass even if the filming is not good.”
For Gu Wei, the role of young Lu Ming is somewhat similar to Song Tianyin, whom he played in "Monster Hunt".
He is not the handsome, cold, skilled, and highly intelligent character in other movies, but a somewhat naive character with a certain comedic effect.
“But.”
“But what?”
“Today’s play is relatively simple, without much emotional expression, and sad emotions are easier to act
But for the subsequent shooting, I suggest you find a way to put your stand up and not hold it too high. "
"What air do I have? "
Liu Yifei was puzzled.
"The airs of a big beauty, when you come to this station, you will feel that you are born well, look good and are very superior.
The heroine Gu Xiaojiao comes from a poor family. Although she was born well and beautiful when she was a child, her growth environment was not good after her father passed away.
So she is realistic, philistine, and has some cunningness of a little woman.
Of course, these are external manifestations, but the core is still longing for family affection and being kind and beautiful. "
Liu Yifei nodded thoughtfully while listening to Gu Wei's analysis. After getting the script, she also thought about how to play this role, but there is still a certain distance between thinking and doing it.
“I will work hard! "She raised her head to cheer herself up, and then looked at Gu Wei with a smile.
"You have to help me too! ”
