Chapter 722 Preheating and Tempting
"When did you come back from Tokyo?" There were many people at the premiere. After Deng Chao left, Gu Wei was chatting with some familiar friends. Wu Jing saw him there, and he was far away Came over from afar.
“You returned to China at the beginning of the month, have you finished filming [The Climber] by Brother Jing?”
“We finished filming last month and took two days to film [My Motherland and Me]. .
I remember you were in the unit directed by Xue Xiaolu, right?”
Gu Wei nodded. Although they were filming the same movie, they were actually filming separately and had nothing to do with each other.
“Yes, [Return] unit, intercepting the historical moment of Hong Kong Island’s return in 1997, I played the flag-raiser at that time.
There were only a few scenes, and the total shooting took less than 5 days. ."
"Haha, we are almost the same. I played a table tennis coach in the [Win the Championship] unit. It was just one scene and it was done in one day."
"I remember that you usually don't How come you are attending this kind of premiere ceremony? Why are you so free today and have time to come over and support Brother Chao?”
"Ahem~ I have invested in Deng Chao's drama, and my company [Dengfeng International] is also one of the producers.
I also played a guest role in it."
Gu Wei suddenly realized: "Brother Jing, you are an investor!"
"As a small investor, the main control is Guangguang and Deng Chao's own [Orange Image]."
"Movie you Did you watch it, how was it?" Gu Wei asked curiously.
He was a little unfamiliar with the movie "Galaxy Tutorial". Yuan Shikong had read relevant news online but had not seen the movie.
“I was out of town a few days ago, and I only came back in the past two days. I didn’t catch up with the internal screening of the movie.
But I heard them say that the final effect of the film is quite good.
Deng Chao and Lao Bai (Yu Baimei) are particularly confident in this movie, saying it is comparable to the one produced by your company [I am not the God of Medicine]." Wu Jing's voice became softer when he said these words, After all, he didn't see the movie, he only heard what others said.
Gu Wei nodded slightly, but was skeptical of Wu Jing's words.
Although he has never seen "Galaxy Tutorial", he has the impression that the box office and reputation of this movie should be far different from "The God of Medicine".
There are only a few domestically produced movies that are big hits every year, and almost everyone who has access to the Internet knows about them.
Even if you don’t go to the cinema to watch it, you will still see related news and discussions on various media and platforms. [Galaxy Tutorial] obviously does not reach that level.
The two of them didn't chat for long, the premiere ceremony was about to begin, and all the guests present returned to their seats.
The premiere was still the same as before. The main creator introduced himself, interacted with the audience and media friends to answer questions, and played a small game to liven up the atmosphere. After all these were completed, the movie began to show.
The content of [Galaxy Tutoring School] is not complicated. Ma Haowen, played by Deng Chao, was imprisoned due to an accident, which made him regretfully miss his son's seven years of growing up.
After I came out, I found that my grown-up son had become a "scumbag" in the traditional sense.
However, he did not give up. Instead, he encouraged his son in his own way, gave him full love and space to grow freely, tried to teach him to think independently, and cultivated his courage to face difficulties.
In the end, his educational methods did work. When his son grew up, he realized his childhood dream and became an astronaut.
The whole story is full of laughter and tears, which is considered a relatively high degree of completion.
However, in Gu Wei's opinion, [Galaxy Tutorial School] actually has many critical flaws.
The movie has two main lines, one is the relationship between father and son, and the other is the confrontation of educational concepts.
The two lines are not well combined, and are even somewhat separated.
The first is the conflict between father and son.
In order to realize his dream of aerospace, his son Ma Fei persuaded his father to give up regaining his reputation. In fact, he sacrificed his father's dream for his own dream.
In response, Ma Haowen said disappointedly: "My education has completely failed."
What does education refer to here?
It is character education.
In the first half of the film, Ma Haowen has been trying to get his son away from the test-oriented mentality and cultivate his ability to think independently.
In Ma Haowen's words, "As long as your mind keeps thinking and thinking, you can do anything on earth."
Later, under the reminder of these words, Ma Fei resolved the crisis in the spacecraft and successfully returned to Earth.
He not only did good things on earth, but also did good things in the universe.
At this time, he said to the direction of the earth, "Dad, your education has not failed."
This was a bit embarrassing. The son's words did not actually respond to his father's words. question.
What they call "education" are completely different things.
Let’s go back to the theme of the movie, the issue of education.
[Galaxy Tutorial School] seems to criticize "examination-oriented education" through the stories of Ma Haowen and Ma Fei.
However, this is not the case in expression.
The movie does not deny the "examination".
Because everyone knows that in the domestic environment, "examination" is already the fairest way, and even the only way out for many children.
We cannot deny "exams" and criticize "exam-oriented education". We can only find faults in educational methods.
Ma Haowen felt that his son's poor learning was due to a problem with his education methods, so he used his own quality education methods to help his son Ma Fei make a leap in his test-taking ability, and his academic performance soared from then on.
To put it bluntly, what the film tells us is not how bad exam-oriented education is, but that I have a method that is even better than me when it comes to exam-taking.
What is the method?
The movie does not give an accurate answer, but just vaguely pours some chicken soup and says some "unconsciously powerful" golden words: "As long as you keep thinking, you can do anything."< br>
These shortcomings are problems with the script and the director's failure to think things through. There are too many things he wants to express and discuss, but the actual level is not enough.
But to be honest, although there are problems of one kind or another, compared with the previous "Breakup Master" and "Villain Angel", we can see the progress of Deng Chao and Yu Baimei from "Galaxy Tutorial".
After the movie, the creators interacted with the audience again. Many celebrity guests present also stood up and expressed their thoughts after watching the movie.
“I was moved many times. This is a good-looking movie, a great movie.
I haven’t seen such a touching movie in so many years.
I'm very proud to be part of this team.
Lao Yu and Brother Chao were very courageous and carefully opened up a hole in the topic of education, so that the hole would grow again and grow stronger.
I think I will take Wu Suo to watch [Galaxy Tutorial] again, it is not only suitable for parents, but also suitable for children."
As an investor in the movie, Wu Jing naturally did not hesitate to praise .
The microphone was quickly passed to Gu Wei. Since he was here today, he would certainly not be let go by the organizers as a hot topic.
"The movie is very good. It's a pity that I don't have children, but I would recommend my dad to watch it. Although it's a little late for education now, we can reflect on the past education methods."
Gu Wei finished speaking. Have a laugh.
"Uncle doesn't need to reflect, just look at the results and you will know that his education is extremely successful," Deng Chao added with a smile.
"In short, it is a good movie. Brother Chao and Director Yu are very good. I will recommend it to my friends to watch it."
On the 18th, [Galaxy Tutorial] will be released nationwide.
On the first day of release on Thursday, the box office was 64.35 million, and on Friday it was 67.12 million. The box office on the first two days of the first weekend exceeded 100 million respectively, and the total box office in the first week was 357 million.
This result cannot be said to be particularly explosive. It is already a good start for this summer movie.
[Galaxy Tutoring School] received a Douban score of 6.6 in the first week of its release. The reputation is not particularly high but it is still above the standard.
After more than half a month of post-production, the first and second cuts of "Tang Detective 3" have been completed, and Gu Wei doesn't have to keep an eye on it every day. ".[Donggong] The Chinese Valentine's Day will be launched at the Mango Channel Idol Exclusive Theater on the 7th of next month. Youku, who bought the exclusive broadcast rights from the Internet, is already preliminarily promoting it"
"I'm going to take Meng Ziyi to some variety shows this time, right?" Gu Wei picked up the water glass and took a sip. He was already familiar with promoting the release of new dramas.
“I will definitely go to [Happy Camp]. Mango Channel hopes that you can participate in the [Chinese Restaurant] issue as a flying guest.
Youku platform has arranged some interviews Meeting with fans." Yang Dan said to Gu Wei while holding a small notebook and reading it.
“In what season has [Chinese Restaurant] been recorded? Who are the guests this year?”
“In the third season, the fixed hosts are Huang Xiaoming, Wang Junkai, Qin Hailu, Yang Zi, Lin Shu Wei"
"Huang Xiaoming, Yang Zi," Gu Wei rolled his eyes, and he remembered the popular meme on the Internet in the future, "I don't want you to think, I want me to feel." It seems to be the nickname of Brother Xiaoming in [Chinese Restaurant] this season. Speak domineeringly.
He is going to be a guest on the flight and maybe he will be able to witness this scene.
But having said that, the background of what Huang Xiaoming said at that time was that Yang Zi injured her finger. She said that it was fine and she could just apply some Yunnan Baiyao. Huang Xiaoming asked her to go to the hospital because of her concern. Then he said, "I don't want what you think, I want what I think!"
The intention was good, but due to the editing of the program and the jokes of netizens, this sentence became the leader's overbearing quotation.
Also because Huang Xiaoming's image has not been very good in the past two years, due to bad movies and the speeches of some bosses, his popularity has become very bad, and he has been rated as one of the four oil kings in the entertainment industry. .
However, he himself is not aware of this yet.
"Is everything ready for [Qing Yu Nian] over there?"
"All the actors were found last month. During the two months you went to Tokyo for filming, director Sun Hao led The main creator traveled to some places in China to finalize the location selection, and it is currently scheduled to start shooting in the middle of next month."
[Wei Tianxia] A small screening room in the company.
Next to Gu Wei sat Wen Muye and Xiao Yang, followed by a group of senior executives in the company.
At the end of the nearly two-hour screening, there was a burst of applause in the small screening room when the subtitles appeared.
“Director, [Manslaughter] was really well shot. Although it was adapted from an Indian film, I have to say that it showed our own characteristics.
Wonderful, very wonderful.”
"And Xiao Yang, his acting skills are becoming more and more proficient. He is worthy of being the man who won the Golden Horse Best Actor."
Gu Wei praised while clapping his hands.
"Manslaughter" is a crime suspense film starring Xiao Yang and directed by "Wei Tianxia". Wen Mu also directed it.
After the finished film was released, the company organized an internal viewing party.
"Mr. Gu deserves the award. This is my first time making a movie with this theme. In fact, there are still many shortcomings.
The main thing is that Xiao Yang and Tan Zhuo acted well." Wen Mu also smiled and said modestly.
“They were all shot according to the director’s requirements, and it’s the director who directed it better.” Xiao Yang said the same thing.
"You two don't need to be polite to each other. We have collaborated so many times and we are both our own people."
Gu Wei finished with a smile and thought for a while: "Looking at the current situation, it is definitely too late to release it in the summer.
br>
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. There will be a large number of gift films released during the National Day period, and our genre is not suitable to compete with them at the box office.
Then we can only release them during the Lunar New Year period.
Director, what do you think? ”
"The box office of domestic crime suspense movies has always been low. Will the competition be too fierce if it is released during the Lunar New Year period?" Wen Mu was also a little worried.
“I have confidence in the quality of [Manslaughter]. The combination of you and Xiao Yang also has great box office appeal, so the Lunar New Year slot will definitely be fine!” Gu Wei patted the literary director on the shoulder.
"Okay, just follow the company's arrangements."
After coming out of the screening room, Wen Mu also followed Gu Wei to his office.
A pot of Gongfu tea was brewed, and the two sat opposite each other, drinking tea and chatting.
"Have you finished making [My Motherland and Me]?" Gu Weidi held the steaming cup of Biluochun, blew it and slowly took a sip.
Wen Mu is also one of the seven filming directors. The filming unit is called [Escort]. It tells the story of the best female pilots in the Chinese Air Force flying team escorting the military parade to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
“That one was shot very quickly, and the post-production editing was faster.
After all, the time was short, only 20 minutes of footage in total, and the story was simple.”
“Zhang Tian How is Ai's performance? It shouldn't be a problem to play a female pilot in her image, right?"
"It's pretty good. She has played many similar roles before, such as the field doctor in [Wolf Warrior 2] and the reporter in [Operation Red Sea].
Her temperament is also tough, and she is not as good as playing a female pilot. Any questions”
Gu Wei nodded.
"It just so happens that you have no work at hand right now. I have a very good script for you to look at."
As he said that, he stood up and walked behind his desk, opened the drawer and took it out. A notebook with a white cover was handed to Wen Muye after sitting back.
"Boss, I've just finished all the work. Now you give me a new job. Factory workers also have weekends off." Wen Mu also joked about the script, and the cover had a few big words "Zhou Chu eliminates three evils".
“You take a look first, I don’t have to accept it.
Whether it was [Drug God] or [Manslaughter] before, you took the initiative to ask for it after reading the script. "
"The main reason is that the script is so good. With such a good story in front of me, it is difficult for me as a director not to be tempted.
[Zhou Chu Removes Three Evils]? br>
Is it the story in [Shishuoxinyu]? "
Wen Mu didn't look through the script in a hurry. He looked at the name on the cover and asked.
"It's almost a similar story, so I gave it this name." Gu Wei crossed his legs. , drank tea slowly, stopped talking, and waited for Wen Mu to read the script.
More than ten minutes passed, and Wen Mu also closed the script.
He couldn't do it in such a short time. Maybe after reading the entire script, I just understood the general story.
"Tsk, tsk, this story is really interesting." As he said this, he looked up at Gu Wei.
“I read at the beginning that it is adapted from real events. Is there really a person named “Chen Guilin”?”
“You can find out by searching on the Internet. The Legend of Wanwan in the 1990s The killer Liu Huanrong is the prototype of this story.
Of course, the story in the script is artistically processed." Gu Wei looked at Wen Muye with a smile.
“How is it, are you tempted?”
Wen Mu also took the script and smiled bitterly: "I have been busy filming in the past few years after joining the company. I originally planned to take a break after filming [Manslaughter]. Now that I have such a good script, boss, you are making things difficult for me."< br>
Gu Wei smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, don't force it.
I'm just going to show you the script.
I plan to play the role of "Chen Guilin" myself. According to The film will not be released until the end of the year at the earliest, so there is no rush.
If you don’t want to take it, you can ask director Yao Xiaozhi to take it. He is better at making movies with a somewhat absurd tone."
< br>
"No, Mr. Gu, I heard that the post-production of [Life Events] directed by Director Rao has not been completed yet, so let him concentrate on that.
You allow me to go back and take a good look at the script. These two I will give you an answer in heaven.”
It can be seen that Wen Mu is also very tempted by this script.
"Don't be anxious, just take your time and watch. I told you that the film will be launched by the end of the year at the earliest. There is plenty of time."
