Chapter 703 This role is more suitable for you
[The Wandering Earth] was a hit. Apart from the film’s creator, the happiest person was the producer of [Shanghai Fortress].
If we just look at some external data, the similarities between the two movies are actually quite high.
They are all adaptations of big IPs, and they are promoted as domestically produced hard science fiction.
As for directors, Guo Pancheng's famous work is "My Deskmate", and "Shanghai Fortress" director Teng Huatao's famous work is "Love Is Not Blind".
Both of them started their careers in romantic films, and Teng Huatao is more famous than Guo Fan.
In terms of casting, [Shanghai Fortress] is a little weaker. The combination of Gu Wei and Wu Jing is currently unmatched by anyone in the domestic film industry.
But Luhan and Shuqi are also attractive enough.
Even though he has revealed that he is in love, Lu Han still has the second-tier domestic entertainment traffic under Gu Wei. The last movie he starred in, "Tomb Raiders", had a box office of 1 billion.
Shu Qi has been in the film industry for many years and has both acting skills and national popularity.
"Shanghai Fortress" is also produced by China Film Group Corporation, and was launched almost at the same time as "The Wandering Earth".
However, "The Wandering Earth" is a joint production between China Film and Television and "Wei Tianxia", and the other main partner of "Shanghai Fortress" is Hong Kong's China Television Entertainment.
At the beginning, China Film did not have enough money to invest in "The Wandering Earth". Part of the reason was because "Shanghai Fortress" also needed a lot of funds.
China Film Group is the number one film group in China. Although it is not short of money, it also has many places to spend it.
The box office of "The Wandering Earth" has been soaring. Domestic audiences are optimistic about future domestic science fiction movies. Taking advantage of this popularity, "Shanghai Fortress" quickly set a release date.
"This is a science fiction war filmed for the Chinese people. The movie will present the whole of Shanghai to the audience.
Those familiar scenes and science fiction settings, as well as the feeling of alien invasion, will bring the most realistic feeling. Give the audience a very close connection with everyone
Science fiction, war, love, it took 5 years, and through the joint efforts of the team, I finally presented the picture I wanted to everyone."
[ The official Weibo account of "Shanghai Fortress" released the first trailer of the movie. In an interview with the media, Director Teng talked about how difficult it was to film the movie.
“After the success of [The Wandering Earth], I feel that domestic science fiction films have suddenly become popular. This [Shanghai Fortress] has been very popular recently. Many people on the Internet are very much looking forward to this movie.”< br>
In the hotel room, Jingtian was wearing a pair of light pink pajamas, leaning on the sofa and scrolling through his mobile phone. The white semicircle of the V-shaped neckline was looming, and a pair of slender and straight legs were folded together.
Gu Wei, who was sitting next to her, didn't notice the alluring scenery at all. He was holding a portable laptop in his hand and focused on the screen.
Gu Wei was filming on the set of [Life Events], and Da Tiantian came to visit the crew. After the day's work was over, she naturally checked into a hotel room.
“[The Wandering Earth] cannot reflect the average level of domestic science fiction films.
It’s not that I’m not optimistic about the development of domestic science fiction films in the future. Maybe there won’t be any similar films in China for a long time in the future. Wandering Earth] A comparable work was born
.
[Shanghai Fortress] is just a joke." Da Tiantian's words made Gu Wei take his attention away from the notebook and said with some disdain.
"No way, judging from all the conditions, [Shanghai Fortress] Even if it's not as good as [Wandering Earth], it won't be as bad as you said, right? "Jingtian couldn't believe it and looked at Gu Wei doubtfully, "Have you seen the finished film? "
She knows that Gu Wei has a good relationship with China Film, and "Shanghai Fortress" is a movie produced by China Film.
"Well, I guess." I haven't seen it now, but I have seen it in the original time and space. .
"Teng Huatao doesn't know how to make science fiction movies at all. The plot and special effects of romance movies disguised as science fiction movies are a bunch of shit.
Although I have a good relationship with Lu Han, there is really nothing to clean up this time, and his performance was terrible.
It’s normal, he is an idol and not a professional actor.
If the director is good at training, there can still be good effects in some dramas. Once the director is not good, the effect of the performance will be a disaster."
Talk about [Shanghai Fortress] Gu Wei couldn't help but A few more words to complain about.
He went to see "Shanghai Fortress" after watching "The Wandering Earth", but he was completely confused
There are so many flaws in this movie that I can’t even mention them.
From the plot to the actors to the special effects, there is almost no shining point.
It is hard to believe that director Teng Huatao has produced such good works as "Love Is Not Blind" and "Dwelling" before.
Da Tiantian also didn’t expect Gu Wei’s evaluation of the movie to be so low.
“It’s rare to see you belittle a movie like this. According to you, [Shanghai Fortress] must be a super bad movie”
"It's very bad!"
"Let's just talk about it behind closed doors. You must never say that outside, especially in front of the media. Your influence is too great now." Jing Tian frowned slightly and asked with some worry.
Gu Wei turned to look at Da Tiantian's fair little face and couldn't help but kiss her.
"Don't worry, isn't this a chat between us? I couldn't help but complain a few words. I will definitely be careful about my words and deeds when I go out.
I don't have any grudge against Teng Huatao, and I still have a grudge against Xiaolu. Friends, don't do things that offend people for nothing.
I don’t need to criticize the quality of [Shanghai Fortress]. Everyone will know what it is like after it is released.”
“Yeah” Jingtian nodded, hugged Gu Wei’s arm, and looked at him. The laptop screen in front of me.
“Is this the script you’re reading? "
"Yes, the third part of [Detective Chinatown] will be released around May as I told you before."
Big Tiantian's eyes lit up, because of the previous With the huge sales of the two films, the "Tang Detective" series has become one of the most popular IPs in China
"Can you tell me the content of the third part in advance?"
"I can't explain this in a sentence or two, but the main plot is still the story of the two protagonists Qin Feng and Tang Ren going to a foreign country to solve crimes. .
The location of the third part is Tokyo, and the case is a secret room murder.
You will find out when the movie is released."
"Have the actors been found?" br>
Gu Wei nodded.
“Because the third part takes place in Tokyo, except for the two protagonists, the other roles are all local actors.
The heroine found the famous Japanese Yui Aragaki. There’s Satoshi Tsumabuki in the second part”
“Yui Aragaki?
I’ve seen her [Koisora], she’s a super cute Japanese actress”
Jingtian sighed with emotion, with an envious look on his face.
Gu Wei knows what she is thinking, but there is really no role suitable for Da Tiantian in [Tang Detective 3].
“What are your recent work arrangements? Aren’t you going to join the group and film after the New Year?”
“There are several announcements to run this month, and I also have to shoot for [ELLE World Fashion Garden] Cover photo, but I don’t need to join the cast for the time being.
My team suggested waiting for [Si Teng] before accepting the role.”
"Your team's suggestions are very correct. [Si Teng] will be looking for a lot of scripts from you in the future." Gu Wei smiled and hugged Jingtian into his arms, placing his other hand on the other's fair and round thigh.
Da Tiantian’s skin is very good, smooth, delicate and a little cool, and feels great to the touch.
“I really miss the time when we were filming [Si Teng]. It would be great if we had the right opportunity to film together again.” Jingtian leaned into Gu Wei’s arms and placed a pair of small hands on his chest.
Gu Wei hugged Da Tiantian and moved the hand on his thigh to his soft waist.
“There is no chance”
"Is there a role suitable for me?" Jingtian turned to look at Gu Wei and asked in surprise.
"My company is preparing a TV series with a male protagonist. It should be no problem to play the female lead in your image."
"Really? Great, what kind of drama? ?" Gu Wei's words made Da Tiantian excited. She didn't even expect that she would get such a reward from visiting the class this time.
“It’s called [Qing Yu Nian], and it is adapted from a relatively famous online novel of the same name.”
The original version of [Qing Yu Nian] started filming in 2018 and will be broadcast online in 2019. However, the copyright of "Qing Yu Nian" is currently in the hands of Gu Wei. He planned to act in this drama himself, and because he has been busy, he has postponed it until now.
“When will the photo be taken?” Jingtian was impatient.
“It’s still early. We only have the script at the moment. The crew has not prepared any actors and has not started looking for actors.
You are the first actor to be appointed besides me.
I plan to start shooting "Tang Detective 3" after finishing filming, which will be in the second half of the year at the earliest
If you have time, you can read the original novel first, and I will send you the script later."
"Well, I will study it carefully."
Jingtian nodded seriously.
< br>As the two chatted, Gu Wei's hands had climbed up from the other's soft waist, and the thin silk pajamas could not stop him at all.
After a while, the sweet and fair face was filled with tears. The red clouds rose, and he lay paralyzed in Gu Wei's arms with blurred eyes, letting everyone have his way like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered
Jing Tian, who came to visit the class, only stayed for one night. Gu Wei returned to the crew to film the next day and she also left the hotel.
"Where did you run away from? If you say you are your biological mother, then you are your biological mother. If you say you want to close your account, you will close it?" On the steps beside the road, Gu Wei, wearing a plaid shirt, looked disdainful. Look at the fashionably dressed woman in front of you.
The woman is Wu Xiaowen's biological mother. She was unable to raise her daughter because of some things, and now she wants to take the child away from Mo Sanmei.
“Xiao Wen was born at 9 a.m. in June 2015. I gave birth to her for twenty-seven hours, but she didn’t come out, so I had to perform a caesarean section in the end.
She also has a diamond-shaped birthmark on her left ankle. If you still don’t believe it, you can take a paternity test!” Huang Mengying, who plays Xiaowen’s mother Haifei, looked excited and backed up to block Gu Wei’s way forward.
"I'm going to tell you that you're a big daddy." Gu Wei lit a cigarette in a leisurely manner and left quickly after saying that.
"Ka! This time was good, passed!
Get ready for the transition"
The director's voice came from the loudspeaker, and Gu Wei walked out of the shooting location.
"Boss, I'm sorry just now. I failed you several times to make you reshoot with me." In the green room, Huang Mengying sat down opposite Gu Wei and said apologetically.
"It's okay, don't worry about it.
You have to get used to it when you just joined the group, and you performed very well in the last two times." Gu Wei waved his hand.
Haifei played by Huang Mengying only has a few scenes, but she is considered a very important role in the later part of the film.
She is Xiaowen's biological mother, but she failed to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother because she took a wrong path and went to jail.
After he came out, he wanted to take the child back and raise it by himself, but at this time, Xiaowen had become Mo Sanmei's family.
After a series of events, not only did Xiaowen not leave, but Haifei also stayed in the end.
It can be said that in the hearts of the audience, the role of Haifei is the final official match of the protagonist Mo Sanmei.
“I went to see [The Wandering Earth] a few days ago.” When the two of them were sitting and resting, Huang Mengying took the initiative to stir up the topic.
“How do you feel?”
“It’s so shocking, the scenes are magnificent, the special effects are realistic, and the story is also very touching. I even cried after watching it.
I watched it myself and then took my parents to watch it again."
"Haha, thank you for your support.
But Meng Ying, you actually have time to watch movies with your parents, it’s not easy.”
“I’m not a particularly popular star, so I’m not that busy.
I had nothing to do during the New Year days and just rested at home," Huang Mengying said.
Gu Wei thought for a while.
"Meng Ying, do you have any TV series online recently? I seem to have seen it in the news a few days ago?" ", starring Sister Ma Li and Teacher Pan Yueming, and I play the second female lead," Huang Mengying said with a smile.
"Which station broadcasts it? I'll go back and see."
"Mango Channel Golden Eagle Private Theater, broadcast after [Know What]."
But the results are quite different from [Know or Not]”
The two of them were chatting, and their manager Yang Dan walked up behind Gu Wei.
“ Boss, phone number."
"Who? ”
“Director Guo.”
Gu Wei turned off his phone and stood up with a smile.
“I’ll answer the phone.”
Huang Mengying smiled and nodded.
“Hey, Director Guo, is the road show going well in the United States?
Yes, that’s great!
How's the deal going with Netflix?
I have no objection. We have decided on the deal with Netflix before, so you can just talk about it boldly.
Mr. Ren from China Film Group is with you. He is professional in this regard.
Then I’ll wait for your good news. Let’s celebrate together at the celebration banquet in Beijing at the end of the month.”
After chatting for a while, Gu Wei hung up the phone and came back.
"Is it about [The Wandering Earth]?" Huang Mengying looked curious. Just now Gu Wei's agent said something about Director Guo. She guessed that the caller might be Guo Fan, the director of "The Wandering Earth".
"Yes~" Gu Wei nodded.
Guo Fan called him to discuss selling the streaming media rights to Netflix. Gu Wei gave his opinion and the price in his mind, but the exact price depended on how well the negotiation went.
“Director Guo went to the United States for a road show a few days ago and discussed some things with me.”
“Today is the 23rd. I just looked at the data on the Internet. [The Wandering Earth] 】After 18 days of release, the total box office has exceeded 4.5 billion, and it is about to surpass the 4.8 billion of "The Devil Comes into the World" and become the second in film history.
According to this trend, 5 billion should not be difficult.
Is it possible for [Wandering Earth] to catch up with [Wolf Warrior 2]?”
Hearing Huang Mengying’s words, Gu Wei opened his phone and took a look.
[Wandering Earth] 】The current real-time box office is 4.583 billion, and it will soon reach 4.6 billion.
It has maintained the single-day box office title for 16 days since the second day of release, and dropped to second place yesterday.
"Alita: Battle Angel" produced by Spielberg was released yesterday, with a box office of 120 million on its first day.
“It is unrealistic to surpass [Wolf Warrior 2]. According to the current box office trend, there will be a box office of almost 500-600 million in the next ten days. There should be no problem for a movie to exceed 5 billion.”
"The top three movies in mainland film history are all made by our company, and two of them are starring you, the boss. They are so amazing!" Huang Mengying looked at Gu Wei with admiration, with a little pride in her expression.
The company she was talking about was not [Jiaxing Media] but [Wei Tianxia].
She is an artist of [Jiaxing], Gu Wei is the major shareholder of [Jiaxing] and the boss of [Wei Mingxia], rounding up, she is also an artist of [Wei Mingxia].
"It's not that exaggerated. The [Wolf Warrior] series belongs to Wu Jing, and [The Wandering Earth] is also a project initiated by China Film.
Only [Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World] can be considered the real [Wei Ming Xia] "Works"
