Chapter 658 No one has ever dared to show off in front of me
"Brother Wei, good morning!"
"Mr. Gu, congratulations on the box office success!"
" ."
In the morning, Gu Wei came to the crew to perform, and the crew members he met along the way greeted him one after another.
"Brother Wei, you are here~
[Cohabitation in Time and Space] is about to break 1 billion, and it has only been 7 days, so awesome!"
Zhou Ming saw Gu Wei and trotted Get close to him.
She was wearing a light blue school uniform, which was obviously a costume from a movie. Her black hair fell down her shoulders. She had a small face full of collagen and a toothy smile with her eyes narrowed into two corners. The crescent moon is beautiful and cute.
“It’s okay, this result is within my expectations and quite satisfactory”
Today is the Friday of the second week. "Cohabitation in Time and Space" has been released for 7 days. As of yesterday, the total box office was 950 million yuan.
Starting from Wednesday in the second week, the movie’s single-day box office dropped by 100 million, with 89.57 million and 84.56 million on Wednesday and Thursday respectively.
However, there will definitely be a surge today and Friday. It is estimated that there will be no problem if the box office exceeds 100 million in a single day, and the box office will also fall in two days on the second weekend.
When the movie has a good reputation, some domestic hit movies basically follow this trend.
“Only your movie dares to have such expectations. Ordinary domestic romance movies can boast of being a hit if they have a box office of 200 to 300 million yuan.”
After Zhou Ming finished speaking, he rolled his eyes.
“Do you think [Cohabitation in Time and Space] can surpass last year’s hit movie [Ex Raiders 3]? It’s a love movie starring you. If it exceeds the box office, you can count as breaking your own record.”< br>
"Who knows, I hope that each of my movies will do better at the box office than the last, but the final result depends on the audience."
Gu Wei spread his hands.
The box office of [Predecessor 3] is 2.3 billion. Judging from the current trend of [Cohabitation in Time and Space], it is very promising to break 2 billion, but it is really difficult to say whether it can exceed 2 billion in the end.
Although in terms of film quality, Gu Wei feels that "Cohabitation in Time and Space" is superior.
But commercial movies do not necessarily have high box office if they get high ratings.
[Predecessor 3] Although it has shortcomings of one kind or another, when the movie was released, it really aroused the emotions of young people. Everyone watching the movie can take it into their own lives. At this time, the movie Good or bad becomes secondary.
It is also for this reason that [The Ex 3] was able to sell 2.3 billion yuan. Otherwise, even with Gu Wei's blessing, exceeding 1 billion is almost the limit for ordinary love movies.
[Cohabitation in Time and Space] does not have the "regret" emotion expressed in [Expedition 3], but more about telling a good love story.
In terms of promotion, the main focus is on the sweetness of the CP between Gu Wei and Liu Yifei, especially the earthy love words in the end of the film, which has set off a wave of earthy love words on the Internet.
Short video platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou are all remakes, which is one of the reasons why the movie has done so well at the box office.
“I watched [Exes 3] when it came out, but I haven’t had the chance to watch [Cohabitation in Time and Space] yet.
After dinner one night, let’s watch it together?”< br>
Zhou Xi invited with a smile.
Gu Wei glanced at her expectant eyes and touched his chin.
“It’s okay to watch movies, but there are quite a lot of night movies these two days. Let’s wait for a while until the popularity of [Cohabitation in Time and Space] subsides, otherwise it will be inconvenient to go out.”< br>
“Listen to you!”
Zhou Ming was secretly excited. If there was a clear favorability number for his relationship with Gu Wei, then watching a movie together would definitely increase his favorability by +10. , the strategy for idol bosses goes one step further.
“By the way, I remember that the crew had several filming tasks this morning. Why is everyone taking a break when I come here?”
Gu Wei didn't know that his elementary school girl Zhou Ming was treating him as the BOSS in the game to attack, so he looked at the other people on the crew and asked with some confusion.
He came a little late today because he didn't have his own show in the morning.
"Ah" Zhou Ming was immersed in his own inner drama when he heard Gu Wei's words and reacted.
“Well, two scenes have been filmed, but the crew currently has a small problem, which is being resolved, so everyone is taking a rest.”
“What’s wrong?”
"It's the heroine's side. We were originally supposed to shoot the scene where she shaved her head today, but Zhou Dongyu obviously had objections to shaving her head."
As he spoke, Zhou Ming looked around and moved closer to Gu Wei. , whispered:
“I heard that she was very resistant to shaving her head at first. Later, the director went over to persuade her, and Zhou Dongyu relented, saying that everyone should accompany her to shave her head.”
Gu Wei frowned after hearing Zhou Ming's words.
[Young You] There is a scene in this movie where the heroine is bullied and then has her head shaved.
Chen Nian's hair was shaved from shoulder-length short hair to a short head, and Xiaobei also accompanied her to shave her head.
As a girl, it is indeed difficult to accept shaving your head, but actors have to change their image according to the plot. After all, you are getting the money, and you should also make some necessary contributions. of.
“The director agreed?”
“Probably so, but Director Zeng wouldn’t say anything about this kind of thing explicitly, and Deputy Director Sun was communicating over there.
Fortunately, I There is still a part in this role, so it is impossible to shave my head, otherwise I will have to accompany you even if it is not possible
Zhou Dongyu's main reason is that she is unbalanced and wants to find a few people to accompany her."
Zhou Ming patted her small chest and sighed.
She is still a little transparent in the entertainment industry. She couldn't understand the thoughts of a big-name star like Zhou Dongyu.
Thinking about it, she raised her head and glanced at Gu Wei.
'It's better that the boss has a higher status, but he never puts on airs when dealing with others. Very gentle too.'
"Absurd!" Gu Wei frowned even deeper and yelled angrily.
Although he had heard others say something bad about Zhou Dongyu before, the two of them have been working well together since the filming of "Young You" began. The other party has always had a good attitude in front of him and his acting skills are also passable.
After such an incident happened today, Gu Wei truly understood what Zhang Yishan and Zhou Ming had said before.
“She earns tens of millions for her acting, so she deserves to have her head shaved. Her staff only earn a few bucks, so why should she shave her head with her and pay for her willfulness!
Me After so many years of filming, this is the first time I see someone acting like a big star on my set!”
This was the first time Zhou Ming saw Gu Sheng's angry look, and he was shocked.
“I just came from the dressing room and two staff members had already shaved their heads, but a few female staff members didn’t want to shave. Assistant Director Sun seemed to be doing their job”
< br>After listening to Zhou Ming's words, Gu Wei walked towards the dressing room without saying anything else.
The dressing room of the crew.
Zhou Dongyu sat boredly on a chair nearby, playing with his mobile phone with his legs crossed, his head shape unchanged.
On the other side, a fat middle-aged man was talking arrogantly to others. There were two men with shaved heads next to him.
The door opened from the outside, and Gu Wei strode in.
"Deputy Director Sun, what are you doing?"
After he came in, he first asked the short and fat middle-aged man.
“Mr. Gu~”
Director Sun saw it was Gu Wei and immediately greeted him with a low eyebrow, completely different from the others.
“Let’s discuss something with everyone.”
In fact, the matter is very simple. It is nothing more than Zhou Dongyu acting big, willful, and bullying other staff members in the crew.
This situation is normal in the entertainment industry.
Compared with celebrities, the emotions of a few ordinary staff members are not worth caring about.
However, this kind of thing does not make sense after all, and it is difficult to talk about it outside.
“Discussing something?
Tell me what’s going on.
Why did these two little brothers cut off their heads? I remember that you two are from the field management team Yeah, maybe it’s because it’s too hot in the summer, so I cut it so short.”
Just as Director Sun was about to say something, Zhou Dongyu’s voice came from behind.
"I asked for the haircut. We are about to shoot the scene of shaving our heads. I thought we would do the haircut together and take a photo together afterward to show that our crew is united."
Gu Wei turned his head and said, He took a deep look at Zhou Dongyu.
“It’s not necessary, they don’t film, and there are girls.”
“What’s wrong with girls? I’m a girl too, so I have to shave my head too.
< br>It’s only fair if we all work together!”
Zhou Dongyu looked like it was natural.
"Mr. Gu.
It's not that I don't want to cut my hair. I'm getting married in two months and I really can't shave my head."
At this time, I was A girl standing around said with a troubled expression.
"I don't want to get a haircut either. A haircut is the same as shaving my head. It's so ugly." Another girl next to her said in a low voice.
"Your name is Liu Wen, right?"
The girl who started talking was ordinary-looking. She looked to be in her 20s and had dark skin.
Gu Wei knew her because she and another girl next to her were both employees of [Wei Tianxia].
Although "Young You" is the team of "July and Ansheng", most of the employees who are in charge of the filming are the people of director Zeng Guoxiang.
But Gu Wei is the largest investor after all. During the preparation of the crew, some employees of [Wei Tianxia] also joined in and were arranged in various teams. There are about 30 Gu Wei in the crew of nearly 200 people. employees of Weiwei.
"Yes, Mr. Gu."
"Congratulations on your happy wedding in advance. You don't need to cut your hair. How can there be a bride with a short hair?"
After Gu Wei finished speaking, the little girl said His face was pleasantly surprised, and he said gratefully:
“Thank you, Mr. Gu, thank you, Mr. Gu.”
“Thank you for nothing, it’s nothing to do with you in the first place”
"Boss, what about us?" Another little girl next to her also asked.
The others standing together looked at Gu Wei, wondering if they still needed to shave their heads.
Even boys would not want to shave their heads if possible, and little girls would be even less willing. "You don't need to cut it!"
Gu Wei said with a smile.
"Great!"
"I thought I was going to shave my head this time, my short haircut is super ugly"
"Thank you, Mr. Gu~"
". ”
After Gu Wei finished speaking, everyone talked happily, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became cheerful.
Only two male employees who had already had their hair cut looked regretful.
Deputy Director Sun opened his mouth to say something, but after looking at everyone and Gu Wei, nothing came out.
“Gu Wei!”
Seeing this situation, Zhou Dongyu’s voice came from behind.
Everyone’s happiness came to an abrupt end.
"Okay, you don't have anything to do here, go out first." Gu Wei ignored Zhou Dongyu and waved to everyone.
Others did not dare to say anything and walked out of the room obediently.
"Dongyu, I don't think there is any need to let other people shave their heads. They are not actors, so what's the use of shaving like us?"
Gu Wei controlled his emotions, He turned around and spoke to Zhou Dongyu calmly.
In the following plot, he will also have a shaved head, which is the same as Zhou Dongyu’s hairstyle.
"I don't care. I can't be the only girl on the crew to shave my head. I want everyone to shave with me so that it doesn't look out of place.
And Director Zeng also agreed to this."
It is really difficult for Zhou Dongyu to make a decision about shaving her head. She is a big star, but shaving her head is too ugly, and it will be difficult to recover for a long time in the future. She will not be able to live with it unless she does something to find a balance.
"We both have to shave our heads. Why are you protecting them? Wouldn't it be better if we all shaved our heads together?
This way everyone in the crew will have the same head shape and no one will have to laugh at anyone else."
Zhou Dongyu didn't understand why Gu Wei stopped her. They were both going to have their heads shaved, so why didn't they let others accompany them.
And it is clear that the matter is already done. Under the pressure of the crew, these staff members will eventually compromise, and no one will care about their own opinions.
Gu Wei controlled his temper and asked with a smile.
"What if no one shaves your head with you?"
"I have told Director Zeng that I will not shave if others don't shave my head." Zhou Dongyu hugged his arms and tilted his head slightly, She also has a temper.
Moreover, she felt that this matter had nothing to do with Gu Wei, and she was not against him. She just made a small request, which was normal.
Gu Wei nodded.
“I hope you won’t regret it.”
After the words fell, he stopped caring about Zhou Dongyu and walked out.
The moment Gu Wei turned around, his expression suddenly darkened.
At the same time, he had already made a decision in his mind.
After Gu Wei left, Zhou Dongyu felt a little regretful, but not because of this incident, but because of the tone in which he just spoke to Gu Wei.
In her mind, except for a limited number of people in the crew, no one else needs to care.
Lounge.
"Sister Xu, Director Zeng, sit down"
After Gu Wei came out of the dressing room, he asked Yang Dan to invite producer Xu Yuezhen and director Zeng Guoxiang.
"What's the matter with Mr. Gu? He specially brought us both here", Xu Yuezhen asked after sitting down.
She didn’t know what happened in the crew today.
Zeng Guoxiang felt that it might be because of Zhou Dongyu's matter, and Deputy Director Sun had already told him the matter when he went out.
Actually, he thought it was a small matter. As soon as it happened, he comforted Zhou Dongyu and asked Director Sun to communicate with the staff.
It's just a haircut. If Zhou Dongyu wants to, just let others cooperate with her. After all, she is the Golden Horse Actress, so he can still accept this little willfulness.
Gu Wei laughed and told Xu Yuezhen what had just happened.
"That's it. Dongyu did something irrational. The little girl is a little willful. I'll talk about her later."
Xu Yuezhen understood what Gu Wei said, Immediately smooth things over for Zhou Dongyu.
This is not their first time working together, and she is very clear about Zhou Dongyu's character, but like Zeng Guoxiang, she doesn't think there is anything wrong with the other party.
But since Gu Wei felt it was inappropriate, Zhou Dongyu's opinion became secondary again.
“Haha.
The reason why Zhou Dongyu can be so willful is because she thinks that she is a big star and heroine, and others are just ordinary staff.
Of course she can Imposing one's own will on others"
"Mr. Gu, it's not that, Dongyu is just" Zeng Guoxiang was saying, Gu Wei raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Director Zeng, listen to me. Actually, I don't think there is anything wrong with Zhou Dongyu. The entertainment industry has always been like this, with clear hierarchies.
But it suddenly occurred to me that it seems that I am the biggest star in our crew. That one."
Gu Wei looked at the two of them with a smile.
Xu Yuezhen and Zeng Guoxiang looked at each other. They didn't understand what Gu Wei meant, but they still responded with a smile.
"That's for sure. With your reputation and status, Mr. Gu, even if you don't mention your identity as an investor, you are definitely the most powerful person in the crew."
Gu Wei smiled and nodded.
"You two may know that I started filming in 2012, and my first film was "Xiu Chun Knife" with my senior brother Lu Yang.
I was just starting out at that time. She was a complete newcomer, but the female star she collaborated with was Liu Yifei, who had been popular for many years.
Actually, I was quite nervous at the time. After all, our status was so different at that time, and it didn’t matter that we were so different.
Fortunately, Liu Yifei has a good personality and didn’t look down on me just because I wasn’t famous. After the movie was made, we became friends.
Later, "Xiu Chun Knife" became a big hit, and I directed and acted in "Detective Chinatown", which made me famous all the way.
No matter who I work with when filming, I will always be the most famous one.
I am not bragging. I started filming after becoming famous. No matter who I collaborate with, I have never acted like a big name.
Of course, no one dares to show off in front of me! ”
Speaking of this, Gu Wei’s smiling face has completely darkened.
"I didn't expect that I would actually see them today!"
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Producer Xu and Director Zeng with a loud voice.
"I think Zhou Dongyu is not suitable to play the heroine in the movie. We may need to replace someone to play Chen Nian!"
"Mr. Gu, is it a bit trivial to replace someone at this time? "
Zeng Guoxiang didn't expect that Gu Wei would change the heroine just because of such a trivial matter. He had some relationship with Zhou Dongyu, so naturally he didn't want to change the heroine just like that.
"The actor is not suitable for the role. Isn't it normal to replace him?"
Gu Wei turned to look at him with a firm tone.
“As an investor, producer and producer, I have decided to change people. I hope Director Zeng can stand with me.”
“Mr. Gu calm down, I asked Dong Yu to Come here and apologize to you." Xu Yuezhen also wants to be the peacemaker, and changing someone now is not a good idea from any aspect.
Gu Wei shook his head.
"Now it's not a question of whether to apologize or not. I just said that Zhou Dongyu is not suitable for the role of the heroine. For the sake of the movie, she needs to be replaced!
I don't think the two of you will fight against me because of the choice of the heroine. Well, in this case I may have to consider withdrawing from the crew, and our cooperation will regrettably be terminated."
Gu Wei said this, and Xu Yuezhen and Zeng Guoxiang knew that he was serious. .
"Mr. Gu, what you said is too exaggerated. How could it possibly reach that level? We have been very happy to cooperate since the launch of the machine, and this happiness will continue." Xu Yuezhen realized Gu Wei is serious about it, so he needs to smooth things over quickly.
“But it has been more than 20 days since we started filming. If we change the heroine now, all the previous scenes will be shot in vain, and we have a contract with Zhou Dongyu.”
"I will be responsible for the losses these days. As for the contract, haha." Gu Wei smiled disdainfully.
“I believe that as long as you and Zhou Dongyu come to terms with each other, she will terminate the contract voluntarily, and we don’t need to pay a penny for liquidated damages.
I don’t want this matter to get into trouble, otherwise She must be the ugly one in the end.
Speaking of it, I may be a bit bully, but I will bully others!
If Zhou Dongyu really refuses to accept it, I can pay her liquidated damages, but she My future career in the entertainment industry may not be so easy.”
Gu Wei's words were very clear.
In fact, in the entertainment industry, things like temporary replacement of actors happen from time to time. Most of them have signed contracts. There was one time when Yang Zi was not popular. He had already joined the group and was finally notified. Replace.
Under normal circumstances, actors will consider themselves unlucky, because if there is a fight, you can get compensation for being unfair this time, but no one will ask you to film in the future.
Gu Wei means the same thing, but he is more ruthless. If Zhou Dongyu dares to cause trouble, he will block him!
With Gu Wei's current power in domestic entertainment, even if Zhou Dongyu is the Golden Horse Actress, it would not take much effort to ban her.
After a few calls from him, China Film, Wanda, Enlight, Bona and other film and television companies that had friendly cooperation with him would no longer use the other company.
There are so many actresses in the circle, no one would insist on using Zhou Dongyu at the risk of offending Gu Wei.
So what he said about banning Zhou Dongyu was not an empty talk, but something that could really be done.
Obviously, Xu Yuezhen and Zeng Guoxiang also know this.
