Chapter 741 is no longer just an actor
“How do you feel?”
The premiere ceremony ended and the audience left the theater one after another. Wang Fang asked her best friend beside her.
"It goes without saying, of course it's super good-looking. My brother's films have never disappointed anyone!"
Zhang Yinghui said without hesitation.
Wang Fang nodded.
"I think so too, it's just that the story is a bit sadistic, but fortunately it has a happy ending in the end"
After saying that, she took her best friend's arm and said with a smile: "Go back and talk to the little girl Yue and the others said that they must be so jealous of us."
"There's nothing we can do about it. The tickets to the premiere that we won through a lottery made them not so lucky! "
Zhang Yinghui also laughed.
"The movie will be released tomorrow. I guess they will come to the cinema to watch it together. Will we still come then?" Wang Fang asked.
Zhang Yinghui hesitated for two seconds: "Come! In order to support the idol's movie, I will come over with you tomorrow for a second viewing!"
"Okay, I'll come too."
< br>In the theater, Gu Wei was saying goodbye to his friends and thanking everyone for their support.
"Brother Wei, let's go." Lu Han and Huang Zitao were both dressed in casual clothes, wearing peaked caps of different colors.
"Thank you both for coming today!"
"Brother Wei, why are you so polite to us? It's just a matter of friendship!" Huang Zitao spoke carelessly, with a hint of Qindao accent in his words.
Lu Han also smiled and said: "Xiao Tao is right. It was Brother Wei who helped us all the time. Our abilities are limited, so we can come here to gain popularity at this time."
Because of what happened at [Shanghai Fortress] two months ago, Lu Han is still grateful to Gu Wei.
Gu Wei also noticed his state and patted Lu Han on the shoulder.
"Then you're welcome. Let's get together later when we have time.
Xiaolu will bring Xiaotong out by then. I haven't seen her for a long time."
After that, he looked at Xiang Huang Zitao: "As for Zitao, I can take whoever I want to take with me."
"What do you mean, I can take whoever I want to take with me. It's like I have many girlfriends. I'm single now!" Huang Zitao was dissatisfied. cried.
Lu Han seemed to have remembered something with a smile on his face.
"Can you bring the female artist signed by your company?"
Gu Wei's eyes opened slightly, as if he heard some great secret, and he immediately became gossipy.
“What female artist, your girlfriend?”
“No, Brother Lu, please don’t tease me, Yangyang is just an employee of my company, I am her boss, there is no relationship between us It's a very pure working relationship!" Huang Zitao's voice became louder and he explained a little anxiously.
Lu Han had a funny look on his face: "Why are you so anxious? I didn't say she was your girlfriend.
Besides, there is more than one female artist in your company, and I didn’t name her, so I would know who it is just by mentioning it. "
"You and me." Huang Zitao was at a loss for words.
Gu Wei smiled and smoothed things over: "Okay, next time we go out for dinner, Zitao can call your artist Come out together and get to know each other, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”
Huang Zitao scratched his head.
“I’ll ask her then. There should be no problem. She’s also half a fan of yours, Brother Wei. ”
The celebrity friends who came almost left, and Wu Jing was the last to leave.
"Brother Jing, thank you for coming to support me today!"
"I haven't had much to do recently. I have been at home in Beijing. You said hello, so of course I had to come." Wu Jing was wearing a gray casual suit. Dressed up, there is a little beard on the face, looking very casual.
“This movie is really well made, it feels a bit like [I’m Not the God of Medicine], and you and Zi Feng’s acting is also great!
And this subject matter will definitely win many awards. preference.”
"Haha, I hope so!"
"How did you come up with the idea of taking on a film with this theme? I have the impression that you have always been making commercial films. This film has the feel of a literary film, so you are not afraid of poor box office performance. ?" Wu Jing asked curiously.
Gu Wei smiled slightly and pretended lightly: "Whether it is a commercial film or a literary film, as long as I like the story and script, I will accept it.
As for the box office, I never consider it. Those, as long as the film is well shot, the audience will not let me down."
Wu Jing laughed at Gu Wei's words: "You, you, although what you said is a bit irritating, but carefully It’s okay to think about it!”
He was talking about what he thought of.
“Now that I think about it, it was a wise decision for you not to pick up the [Climber], and you successfully avoided a surprise.”
Gu Wei hesitated: “Actually, I later I think about it, if I had taken on "The Climber", the final effect of the movie might really be better than it is now.
I was not satisfied with their script from the beginning. I will definitely change the script significantly by then, Zhang Ziyi. The love line should be deleted if necessary. The film will focus on the entire mountaineering team, focusing on the glory and sense of mission of waiting for Mount Everest.
If Li Rengang doesn't film well, he can be replaced. , it is really impossible to find Lin Chaoxian to take over.
In this way, with the gimmick of our cooperation and the adapted script, I feel that the box office of "The Climber" will not be lower than "Captain of China" and "My Motherland and Me".
Of course, another possibility is that the film could not meet these requirements, so I resigned and left the group during the filming."
Wu Jing shook his head helplessly after hearing Gu Wei's words.
“Your request is too much.”
“It’s too much of a big deal, isn’t it? ”
Wu Dingding nodded: "Yes, we are just actors after all. When we are not directors, we just have to do our job as an actor.
Wouldn't it be a drama tyrant to do what you say?
No, the average theater tycoon is far inferior. You are not satisfied and even have to change the director."
Gu Wei shook his head.
“Brother Jing, when you become an actor to our level, you can no longer just think about being an actor.
Ordinary actors only need to perform the role well when they accept a role, but the expectations of the audience we carry are too high. People spend money to go to the theater because of my reputation as a guard, so even if I am only an actor, I have to serve the audience. kind of trust and responsibility.
Just like today's "Young You", I'm not bragging. If I hadn't played the male protagonist, how could a movie with this theme have such a high reputation? It would be close to 200 million yuan now. pre-sale?
You must know that Zeng Guoxiang's last film "July and Ansheng", which won the Golden Horse Award, had a box office of less than 200 million.
So when I accept a film now, one of the most important requirements is that I must have a share of the investment, and I must have a say in the crew, otherwise I will not accept the film even if it is promising."
< br>Gu Wei’s words touched Wu Jing a lot
In fact, he has always regarded himself as an actor. When filming, he does whatever the director tells him to do. He just wants to play his role well and at most give some opinions on the martial arts scenes.
Later he became a director, also because he was about to become obsolete in those years. No one asked him to film, so he had to praise himself.
After the "Wolf Warrior" series became popular, he suddenly became the actor with the highest box office appeal in the Mesozoic generation of domestic entertainment. After becoming popular, there was no shortage of opportunities, and Wu Jing returned to his original ideas when filming. Now listening to what Gu Wei said, he also has some awareness. He is different from before. He is burdened with the expectations of many viewers, just like [The Climber]. How many viewers came in because of his name as Wu Jing? of cinema.
Looking down and thinking for a moment, Wu Jing looked up at Gu Wei.
"So, what was posted on the Internet about Zhou Dongyu is true. It's not the official statement that the actor voluntarily quit because the role was inappropriate, but you kicked her out."
Gu Wei nodded with a smile: "Brother Jing, You know my character when we are filming together. I never act condescending to other actors.
Since Zhou Dongyu doesn’t want to cut his hair, he might as well not play the role!”
"I remember you were still classmates in college, right?"
"We don't have any friendship. I was an amateur when I was in school, but she was already a big star. Later, when we entered the entertainment industry, we didn't have much contact with each other."
< br>
Gu Wei and Wu Jing chatted a little more and agreed to have a drink together next time. Wu Jing left the venue.
#Gu伟's new film "Youth" held its premiere in Beijing. The scene was a blast and fans' enthusiasm for watching the film was unprecedentedly high! #
# Wu Jing, Lu Han, Li Xian, Zhang Yi and others appeared at the premiere. Wu Jing praised Gu Wei for his courage to challenge new themes and new roles! #
# Another masterpiece from Golden Horse director Zeng Guoxiang following "July and Ansheng", Gu Wei and Zhang Zifeng gave wonderful performances. #
After the premiere, news related to [Better Days] was reported by various media.
Many official media are also paying close attention to this movie.
Campus bullying is a widespread phenomenon on campus, but there are very few movies with related themes, so such "positive energy" movies that reflect social phenomena will more or less receive official attention. and promotion.
Some film critics and audiences who attended the premiere wrote some of their own thoughts about the movie after going back.
【This movie is really thoughtful. When you were in a desperate situation, a light suddenly appeared in front of your eyes. Xiaobei and Chen Nian were the light in each other's lives. Xiaobei didn't want Chen Nian to be there. The setting of trying to push her to a better future in the mud really struck a chord with me. 】
【Gu Wei's acting skills are as good as ever, all the emotions are in place. What surprised me is that the little sister Zhang Zifeng also acted equally well. The little girl has really grown up. Thank you for such a good movie. Show up and wish you a box office hit! 】
[I went to see the premiere and burst into tears, but it was such a great movie.
The combination of Gu Wei and Zhang Zifeng reminds me of the first part of "Detective Chinatown" I watched many years ago, when Sinuo grew up.
The acting skills of both of them are so good, I recommend everyone to watch this movie! 】
【It looks good, and I feel it can be included in the list of outstanding Chinese-language films of the year. From the significance of the film's subject matter to the script creation, to the director's overall control ability, and the expressiveness of the two protagonists, everything has reached the best. Gu Wei's performance was so good, there was so much drama in his eyes! 】
["Young You" reveals the neglected campus bullying, and uses the camera to depict a story of the bullied and the street gangsters trying to warm each other.
It has nothing to do with love, but two lonely individuals and souls approaching each other.
It is not so much a youth film as it is an educational French popularization column drama]
[Zeng Guoxiang tells a story about bullying and anti-bullying from a unique perspective. Just like what Gu Wei said at the end of the movie, as long as everyone contributes a little bit, we can protect the youth and the world! 】
【.】
Whether it is a film critic or an ordinary audience member attending the premiere, the evaluation of "Young You" is one-sided.
Wu Jing and other celebrities who attended the premiere also reposted the movie's promotional poster on Weibo, recommending fans to watch it.
Many celebrities who were not present but had a good relationship with Gu Wei also retweeted Weibo and volunteered to help promote it.
There is increasing discussion about this movie online, and the pre-sale box office is also growing by leaps and bounds.
“Brother, how much box office do you think this movie starring Gu Wei can have?”
In Huayi’s president’s office, Wang Zhonglei looked at the news about [Young You] on the Internet and asked road.
Wang Zhongjun lowered his head and fiddled with the tea set on the table in front of him. His movements were skillful and fluent. In a short while, a pot of Gongfu tea was brewed.
He picked up the cup in front of him, blew on it gently, and slowly took a sip.
“According to the current pre-sale box office results and the popularity of the movie, there should be no problem with the final box office exceeding 1 billion.”
“Tsk, tsk, I heard that [Young You] has a total investment of 100 million. If the box office can exceed 1 billion, it will be a huge profit!
As expected of Gu Wei, a movie with this kind of reality theme can also be popular! ”
After cooperating with "Expedition 3", Wang Zhonglei no longer has any doubts about Gu Wei's box office appeal.
If someone else had played the 580 million movie, it would have ended, but it ended up with a box office of over 2 billion.
Huayi made a huge profit, and its stock price rose as a result.
“Not surprisingly, with the reputation accumulated from so many movies over the years, Gu Wei’s popularity and box office appeal have reached a certain level.
The best thing about him is that he has always It’s scary if you haven’t failed.
In the entertainment industry, even international superstars like Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, and great directors like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, sometimes make bad movies that fail at the box office.
But Gu Wei didn’t.
So as long as his movie is released, many passers-by will naturally think that it is a good movie and worth watching.
And he also has the largest fan base in the entertainment industry.
Even if Gu Wei stars in "Pure Heart", I feel the box office can exceed 500 million.
Of course, if he acts in such a bad movie, his reputation will be shattered. No matter how much money is given to him, he probably won’t do it.” His experience can tell why Gu Wei is undefeated at the box office.
"Then how can we break his golden body? "
Wang Zhongjun glanced at his younger brother.
"The reason why Gu Wei has strong box office appeal is actually known to many people in the industry.
It's easy to make him fall down, just make more bad movies, break his undefeated myth, and make the audience lose confidence in him little by little.
But it’s up to him to decide what kind of scenes he plays.
If it is his opponent, we can only expect him to act in a bad movie."
Wang Zhonglei nodded. He didn't have any bad thoughts. After all, Huayi and Gu Wei had nothing to do with each other.
"What did Tian Yusheng say, how is the script of [Predecessor 4] going?" ”
Wang Zhongjun lowered his head to drink tea and asked casually.
“Don’t mention it, I just asked him a few days ago.
Director Tian has been busy with the movie [Great Wish], and [his predecessor] has not touched it at all.”
< br>"That Korean adaptation of Hengye Film and Television?
I remember there was quite a stir when it was released. Gu Wei specifically spoke out for his artists, pointing the finger at the Wanwan gang. ”
"Yes, the final box office was less than 200 million. Why are you so busy? Why not prepare for [Predecessor 4] early. If Gu Wei continues to cooperate, 2 billion box office will be easily obtained."
Wang Zhonglei is also very fond of Tian Yusheng. It's dissatisfaction.
Wang Zhongjun thought for a while: "Let's go back and have a meal with Mr. Tian to see what he thinks. He is the core of the [Predecessor] series. He still has the final say on how the movie is shot."
