Chapter 746 Being handsome does not delay acting in comedy
"[Manslaughter] released the pilot trailer and "montage" poster on the 31st of last month, and announced that it will be scheduled for December 13th, and announced the lineup to be led by Xiao Yang , Tan Zhuo, Chen Chong, and Jiang Haowen star in the movie.
On the 15th of this month, the "Missed" version trailer and the "Duel" version poster were released.
The current regional posters in major theaters. It has been posted.
The online promotion started last month and has attracted the attention of many netizens
Wanda also promised to give "Manslaughter" the best screenings and schedules."
Back at the company, the first thing Gu Wei dealt with was the release of "Manslaughter" early next month.
In the office, Yang Liwen was reporting to him on the publicity matters that had been carried out since the end of last month.
[Manslaughter] was followed by Wen Muye, Xiao Yang, and Tan Zhuo after [I am not the God of Medicine]. Another collaboration.
Due to the popularity of "The God of Medicine", the movie attracted the attention of many viewers as soon as it was officially announced.
In terms of publicity and distribution, [Wei Tianxia] has found Enlight, Wanda, and Taopiao Piao as joint publishers.
From online ticket purchasing platform to offline promotion to movie scheduling, we protect movies in all aspects.
“Not bad.”
Gu Wei nodded with satisfaction.
[Manslaughter] itself is of good quality. Xiao Yang became more famous after playing [The God of Medicine] than in the original time and space.
The company's experience in publicity and distribution is also getting richer, and with the support of three companies, he believes that the box office of "Manslaughter" will exceed that of the original version.
"What movies were released at the same time as [Manslaughter]?"
Gu Wei asked Yang Liwen and understood instantly.
The box office performance of a movie is not only related to the quality of the film itself, but also closely related to the schedule and the competitors released at the same time.
“The Lunar New Year period is a popular period, and many films that have ambitions at the box office will choose this time period.
A week before the release of "Manslaughter", the Hollywood blockbusters "Ad Astra" and "Jumanji 2: Battle to the Top" were released.
The protagonist of [Ad Astra] is Brad Pitt, and [Jumanji 2] is still the original cast, led by Dwayne Johnson.
In terms of domestic films, it is noteworthy that "The Party at Southern Station" starring Hu Ge, Gui Lunmei, Liao Fan and Wan Qian, and "The Whistleblower" directed by Xue Xiaolu and starring Lei Jiayin and Tang Wei 】."
Pitt has never had much box office appeal in China, and Gu Wei has no impression of the title [Interstellar Exploration]. It is probably another Hollywood blockbuster that will not attract attention.
[Game of the Brave] The first part has a good reputation at the box office in China. If the second part can maintain it, it may have good results.
As for "The Party at Southern Station", Hu Ge's movies have never been noteworthy.
He is well-known and popular with audiences, but he really has no appeal at all in the film industry.
Although Da Mi Mi is always criticized for her poor acting skills and not very good reputation, it can crush Brother Hu in terms of box office appeal.
[Whistleblower] seems to be a rusher, and its results are far inferior to Director Xue’s previous [Beijing Meets Seattle].
"The ones released at the same time as "Manslaughter" include "The Man Caught by the Light" starring Huang Bo and Wang Luoduan, and the disaster film "Sky Fire" starring Wang Xueqi and Kun Ling.
The next week there will be [Star Wars 9], [Ip Man 4] and Director Feng’s [Only Yun Knows].”
Gu Wei sat on the office chair and leaned back slightly.
< br>It seems that the competition for the Lunar New Year festival is fierce this year, but there seems to be no movies that can compete.
After dealing with the company's affairs for a long time in the morning, Sun Hao, the director of "Celebrating the Year" came to see him. < br>
“Mr. Gu, when will we reshoot the final scene of our drama? ”
Gu Wei thought for a while.
"Just these two days, I'll go and find the actor to play Professor Ye. If nothing unexpected happens, we can shoot it tomorrow."
In the script of [Qing Yu Nian], the beginning is College student Zhang Qing came to find Professor Ye from Mou University, hoping to become her student.
During the conversation, I showed her the novel I wrote about living again - Qing Yu Nian.
Then we entered the beginning of the TV series.
In the last episode, Fan Xian faked his death and returned to Beijing. After the end of the first season, the camera returned to modern times.
After Professor Ye finished reading the novel, the inquiry ended like this. Zhang Qing smiled and replied, "Of course not."
"Can I ask, Mr. Gu, who are you planning to find as a guest star for Professor Ye?" "
Gu Wei stood up, smiled and patted Sun Hao on the shoulder.
“Don’t worry, Director Sun, even though it’s just a guest appearance, I will definitely find someone famous enough to play the part”
Afternoon, in the office.
Gu Wei and Yao Xiaozhi were sitting and drinking tea.
The post-production of [Life Events] was completed two months ago. Gu Wei has also seen the finished film and is very satisfied.
The director of the original film is Liu Jiangjiang. "Life Events" is his first film directed, and the shooting techniques are still a bit immature.
Rao Xiaozhi has been filming stage plays for many years and directed several movies, including outstanding works such as "The Unknown".
He was more experienced and a better storyteller.
Coupled with the fact that the actors can be said to be an upgraded version of the original version, the movie effect is naturally better.
"Mr. Gu, when will our movie be released?"
After Xiaozhi drank the tea in the cup in two sips, he raised his head and asked.
"Director Rao is anxious?"
"That's not true. I was just asking casually. This movie by Bu Wen Muye is about to be released. I heard that Mr. Gu, your [Tang Detective 3] has also been scheduled for the Spring Festival next year. I was wondering when [the big event in life] will be. Yes."
Gu Wei smiled.
“You said you’re not in a hurry?”
Director Rao was a little embarrassed: “This is not the first time that I have cooperated with Mr. Gu, and the quality of the film is so high, like letting [ Major Events in Life】Hurry up and meet the audience”
“Don’t worry, I understand your mood.
[Life Events] We all know how the quality is.
This is a very excellent work. The company must maximize its profits and find a suitable time to release it so that as many audiences as possible can see it! "
Gu Wei put his empty cup on the tea table and reached out to pick up the delicate purple clay pot. He found that there was not much tea in it, so he placed the teapot and pressed the button, and the water flowed out from the automatic dispenser next to it. The boiling water went into the pot.
"I understand. I know that the company is the most professional in this regard. Everything is subject to the company's arrangements."
Gu Wei picked up the teapot and poured it for the two of them again. The aroma of the brewed tea is still strong
He picked up Xiaozhi, blew on it, and slowly took a sip.
“I haven’t had much to do here in the past two months. I watched a lot of movies during my break.
One of the Korean comedy movies is very interesting. I thought about buying the rights to remake it. It should be good."
There was a trace of curiosity on Gu Wei's face: "What movie?"
"[Lucky Key], in fact, it was also a remake of a Japanese movie called [Theft]. Key method].
It tells a series of stories and jokes about a failed actor and a killer who exchanged identities due to a strange combination of circumstances.
I think the subject matter is very good, and there are also things in it that make people think.”
Isn’t this just [a huge crowd], and the director is indeed going around his small ambitions.
"You want to take pictures? "
"I think, the subject matter is my favorite, I think I can shoot it well! "Rao Xiaozhi said without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll tell Mr. Yang and ask her to contact Japan to buy the adaptation rights.
It just so happens that you don't have a project in hand right now, so you can concentrate on preparing for this drama."
< br>To be honest, "The Crowd" is a good film. Although it is a remake, it is a very good remake of Xiaozhi.
The original time and space box office is generally mainly due to the wrong release time.
In the same period, I encountered [Tang Detective 3] and [Hello! Li Huanying], [Assassination of Novelists] and [Samurai God Order].
Andy Lau really doesn't have much box office appeal, and the original release is not strong either. He relies entirely on the quality of the film to attract audiences.
The box office is only higher than "Order of the Samurai God", ranking behind the other three movies.
Pu Kun and Zhou Xun have no box office appeal.
However, "The Crowd" has the best reputation among these movies.
After Gu Wei agreed, Bao Xiaozhi looked happy, and the two of them sat and drank tea slowly.
"Is there anything else?" Gu Wei asked in confusion when he saw the other party staring at him with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Gu, you have seen [Lucky Key], right?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Then you will play the role of the down-and-out character in it? How about the actor's role?"
Gu Wei opened his eyes slightly and pointed at himself. "Shall I act?"
What's going on? It's obviously Xiao Yang's character.
"Yes, I think your role is very suitable!"
Gu Wei quickly shook his head.
“No, no, I can’t do comedy.”
He felt that Xiao Yang's performance in the original version was good, and he was from his own company.
Rao Xiaozhi hurriedly persuaded: "I know Mr. Gu, you have never acted in a comedy.
But haven't you been trying movies of various themes? Now is a good opportunity. "
"I don't have any idol baggage. I shaved my head and acted ugly when filming "Young You" and "Life Events".
But is it appropriate for me to play a down-and-out actor? ? "
Gu Wei's mind was full of Xiao Yang's appearance, and it would be too inconsistent to act as his own person.
“It’s suitable, very suitable.
The role of the down-and-out actor in the Korean version of [Lucky Key] is played by Lee Joon. He is also a handsome guy with an idol background. Of course, he is definitely not as handsome as Boss You, but it shows You fit the role very well!
And you see, Shen Teng and Sha Yi are not just school boys, but they still act in comedies."
Gu Wei choked up at Yao Xiaozhi's words.
He always thinks about the image of the actors in "The Crowd" and forgets that in the Korean version of "Lucky Key", the down-and-out actor is not a greasy middle-aged man like Xiao Yang, but a young guy who failed in both career and life.
"Let me think about it.
After the copyright is bought back, you can first come up with the script, and then we will decide on the actors."
That's what I said Gu Wei didn't refuse strongly anymore. After all, it was his own company's film. If he starred in it, the box office would be guaranteed.
And the movie is really good, and it won’t ruin its reputation.
"No problem"
Yao Xiaozhi was in a good mood. He felt that Gu Wei had a high chance of participating in the role. With this guarantee, even if it was a remake of the movie, it would be indispensable at the box office. There was no pressure at all.
He felt that the tea he drank in his mouth was much sweeter
In the evening, after leaving the company, Gu Wei took a car to Zenglijia Community.
Go upstairs from the underground garage, knock on the door and enter the house.
Zeng Li was still dressed as a cook, wearing brown home clothes, long sleeves and trousers, and a light yellow apron. Her hair was tied up high to make it easier to work.
Although she dresses like a housewife, Zeng Li is really good-looking, with a beautiful oval face, big moist eyes, a high nose bridge, full and natural lips, and fair and translucent skin.
It can be seen that she only wears light makeup at home, but she is still beautiful.
You can understand a concept when you see her. Beautiful people look good in anything, even if they wear a sack, they can still walk on the catwalk.
“Wait a moment, the food will be ready soon. It’s just the right time every time you come.”
After letting Gu Wei into the house, Zeng Li hurried back to the kitchen to continue cooking.
“I didn’t come at the right time, but after I told Sister Li to come here, you would prepare the meal.”
Gu Wei came in and changed his shoes. He was familiar with the roads. Go to the sofa in the living room and sit down.
Then he turned on the TV, took a grape from the fruit plate on the coffee table and put it into his mouth, casually as if he was back at home.
Not long after the meal was ready, Gu Wei walked to the dining table and sat down to eat with Zeng Li.
"Sister Li's cooking is getting better and better, and she cooks my favorite dishes every time I come here."
Zeng Li looked at Gu Wei with a smile.
"If you like it, eat more."
He added a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in his bowl.
Something suddenly occurred to me: "Are you going to join a filming team recently? Do you want to control your weight?"
Gu Wei smiled: "Sister Li, you are still worried about this. Don't worry, my physique makes it difficult to gain weight.
You see, I have basically not dieted much in the past few years, but I have never gained weight."
Zeng Li thought for a while and couldn't help but nod.
"Indeed, every time I see you eating a lot, you are always in good shape.
Your physique is what every female star dreams of"
"Hahaha, I'm a natural, I can't help but envy you."
The two chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very warm.
"Sister Li, you don't seem to be very busy lately. When I called you last month, you were already in Beijing, and you haven't joined the team to film yet."
"I will finish filming in October. A play, and then I gave myself some time off to balance work and rest, life is not just about work, right?"
Zeng Li looked at Gu Wei with a smile, her smile was always So gentle.
Gu Wei nodded in agreement.
“There are too few artists who think like you in the entertainment industry. Everyone wants to use one day as two and divide themselves into eight parts.
Filming and participating in as many activities as possible, Give yourself more exposure and become more popular.
Of course you can also make more money.
Sister Li, you are the most Buddhist female star I have ever seen." br>
He had just met Yang Mi a few days ago. It can be said that the two people have completely different attitudes towards work and life.
I always feel that there is a sense of urgency in Da Mi Mi. She is anxious to become famous, anxious to make money, anxious to transform. She is always nervous, even though she is already one of the most popular stars in the industry.
Zeng Li smiled.
“I am not a Buddhist, I am just lazy.
Since I choose to be an actor, I also want to be famous and make money. I have never denied this.
It's just that I'm famous now and have made money, so naturally I don't want to be too tired."
Since I met Gu Wei, I have filmed several movies [Tang Detective 1] and [Ode to Joy] with his help. , [In the Name of the People], she quickly became popular at an unimaginable speed and is now one of the most famous actresses in her age group. She is not short of fame or money.
" Haha, laziness is good, laziness is sometimes a good habit."
Gu Wei laughed.
"By the way, sister Li, what movie did you finish filming last month? ”
"[Blame You Are Too Beautiful] is a workplace drama with a female protagonist. I play an agent. It is the first time I have acted in a drama about the entertainment industry."
The name Gu Wei sounds familiar. But I definitely haven’t seen it.
"How about the entertainment industry that the TV series talks about? Is the story true?"
"Of course. It's not true. Most of it is the entertainment industry that ordinary people imagine.
< br>After all, as you know in our circle, there are many things that cannot be said”
Zeng left the stall and spread his hands.
“That’s right.”
Ning Hao’s filming of [Mr. Red Carpet] claims to expose many unknown things in the entertainment industry. As a result, all the exciting scenes are in the promotional video, and the story is only a glimpse. stop.
Cheng Long said that he would write a book exposing the inside story of the circle, and he also said that he would wait until his death before publishing it.
It can be seen that there are indeed many things in the circle that cannot be said.
Gu Wei has been in the industry for so many years and is both a big star and a big boss, so he sees things clearly.
It is not just the entertainment circle, in fact it is the same in all circles, such as financial circles, business circles and even academic circles.
What cannot be discussed is nothing more than power-for-money transactions, power-for-sex transactions, and money-for-sex transactions, which are the so-called hidden rules.
There are also different forms of interest exchange and favor exchanges.
Then there are various ways to attack your opponents and improve yourself.
"How long do you want to take a break?"
"I don't plan to join the group in the short term. I will mostly do business and participate in some brand activities before the new year.
If there is a suitable script, I will do it after the new year. Let’s talk about it.”
“There’s a character in a drama I just finished filming who can make a cameo for me”
“What character?”
"Professor of the university, there is only one scene in total, and it can be filmed in a library in the capital in one hour."
"No problem"
