Chapter 755 The Art of Language
Early the next morning, Liu Yifei carefully opened the door to her room, hung her coat on the hanger at the door, and then tiptoed into the house.
When I came to the living room and found that my mother was not there, I breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to go upstairs to my room.
"Come back"
Just as he was about to go up, he saw Liu Xiaoli wearing a black silk pajamas standing by the handrail of the stairs on the second floor.
Liu Yifei looked up at her mother and showed a cute smile.
“Good morning, Mom~”
Liu Xiaoli walked down the stairs with an expressionless face.
"It's getting late. If you wait a little longer, it will be noon.
Have you had breakfast? If not, I will ask Aunt Wang to cook you something."
Liu Yifei kept a flattering smile on her face, but felt guilty for a while.
"Have eaten"
"Let's eat at Gu Wei's house!" Liu Xiaoli interrupted her without hesitation.
“No wonder I have to come home to eat. It’s really inconvenient to come home”
“Mom”
Liu Yifei spoke in a long voice, hugged her mother's arm and began to act coquettishly.
Liu Xiaoli turned her head and her face became soothed.
"Mom has never objected to your dating, and she is very supportive. You don't have to hide it, but you just need to tell me in advance if this happens in the future, so as not to worry me."
" We are not dating!" Liu Yifei blurted out.
"Gu Wei doesn't admit it?" Liu's mother frowned when she heard her daughter's words.
"No, I don't want to.
I have a very good relationship with Gu Wei, but I have told you a long time ago that he spends a lot of money, and I can't stand it if we really fall in love."
< br>Liu Xiaoli hesitated for a moment and said:
“Successful men will have a little bit of love, not to mention that Gu Wei became famous at a young age, and he is the top of his age in terms of appearance and career.
Don’t look at it How was he before? As long as he can calm down and treat you well after the two of you are together, everything else is easy to discuss."
"Mom"
Liu Yifei took Liu Xiaoli's arm and sat on the sofa.
"That's not the case. I have known Gu Wei for so many years and know him too well. This is what he is like. At best, he is a romantic, at worst, he is a scumbag.
And You also know how many temptations we face in our industry. When I entered the entertainment industry, you stayed with me because you were worried.
With Gu Wei's current reputation. With the various resources at hand, I don’t need to say what kind of situation we will face.
He is 5 years younger than me, and he is far from the time to calm down."
Listening to what her daughter said, Liu Xiaoli frowned even deeper.
She originally felt that Gu Wei didn't care. In terms of appearance and career, he is very suitable for his daughter. The most important thing is that the young man is not only a good person, but also has a good relationship with his daughter.
But now I heard Liu Yifei say this. There is nothing I can do to persuade her.
She had promised her daughter that she would make all the decisions regarding feelings.
"Then what do you think?
Since we can't be together, just keep a little distance and just be ordinary friends.
You are not young now. We might meet one day. "Appropriate"
"We are just ordinary friends now~" Liu Yifei said casually.
“As an ordinary friend, you stay up all night and stay at his house.
You are a girl and he is a boy. If you don’t get results from being together, you have to get out as soon as possible, otherwise you will suffer." Liu Xiaoli said something serious.
"Oh, mom, these are the old ideas of your era, what kind of girl are you? It's just a loss. There's nothing between us. We're just good friends with a good relationship. I've told you this before.
Besides, I don’t necessarily have to fall in love and get married. It’s not bad to live alone. "
"Alone?
Now that you say this, I will see what you will do when you become an old girl in a few years! ”
Liu Xiaoli hates the fact that iron cannot become steel.
Liu Yifei leaned against her with a smile.
"Mom~
I still have you!
No matter what, you will always be by my side"
After not seeing each other for a long time, Gu Wei came to the company feeling refreshed and refreshed after a night of friendly discussion with the fairy sister.
Seven days after its release, "Manslaughter" has a total box office of 673 million yuan, and has been the domestic single-day box office champion for 7 consecutive days.
Wen Muye and his team also returned to the capital after more than a week of nationwide roadshows.
“Thank you for your hard work, Director~”
“Looking at the box office results in the past few days, I feel that the hard work of the road show is worth it”
In the office, Wen Mu also picked up the water glass in front of him and took a sip, looking tired.
He was a little busy during this period. Not only did he have to take the creators of [Manslaughter] on road shows, but he also had to worry about the crew of [Zhou Chu] in Wanwan, which made him physically and mentally tired.
“Currently, the reputation of [Manslaughter] has completely spread, and the box office drop in the second week is very small.
According to the current box office trend, the total box office by the end of this week should exceed 900 million , if you are optimistic, 1 billion is not impossible.
I think Maoyan has raised the final box office forecast of "Manslaughter" from 1 billion to 1.5 billion.
Director, I was right at the premiere. Now we are getting closer and closer to the box office target I mentioned."
"Haha, I can't match Mr. Gu's vision.
There is a saying that has been circulating in our company, if you don’t understand what the boss wants you to do, then just do it without understanding, because the boss must be right.”
Wen Mu is also happy [manslaughter] 】While selling well, I didn’t forget to flatter my boss.
“Tomorrow, [Ip Man 4], [Star Wars 9], and [Only Yun Knows] will be released. It’s going to be released, how will it affect [Manslaughter]”
The two chatted for a while, talking about some movies released this weekend.
Wen Mu was also a little worried, but Gu Wei didn't care much.
“The [Star Wars] series is popular in North America, but it will definitely not adapt to the local climate in China. This is the same reason that our [Journey to the West]-themed movie did not sell at the high box office there.
Domestic audiences don't recognize this at all. None of the previous films have high box office, which is far from the Marvel movies.
As for "Only Yun Knows", Feng Xiaogang only works in comedies. It has box office appeal, but other types of movies really don't do that.
And he feels a little behind the times now, maybe because he is old and lacks energy.
Of the directors of their era, only Zhang Yimou has been making progress.
Perhaps it cannot be said to be progress, but rather to adapt to the times and change one's own shooting style and methods to adapt to today's audience.
Others are more or less stuck in their ways and find it difficult to produce high-box office works.
There is only one [Ip Man 4]. It is worth noting that this IP has made its fourth film, and many fans are looking forward to it.
After it is released, it will inevitably take away some of our film schedule.
But don’t worry too much, I have communicated with Wanda that as long as the box office of [Manslaughter] is stable, the film schedule will not drop too much."
Wen Mu also listened to Gu Wei's analysis nodded in agreement.
"There's nothing I can do here in [Manslaughter]. I'm going to fly to Taipei tomorrow and focus on the crew over in [Zhou Chu's Three Pests]." Okay, there’s still something going on here in Beijing these two days, I’ll join the team after I’m done”
Friday, December 20th.
[Star Wars: Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker], [Ip Man 4], [On Tide], [Only Yun Knows], [Mist of the Day] and other movies were released.
Just as Gu Wei expected, [Star Wars 9] and [Only Yun Knows] are both strong on the outside and dry on the inside.
One is a top Hollywood blockbuster and the other is a masterpiece by great director Feng Xiaogang. On the day of the premiere, theaters gave 13% and 20% of the film schedules respectively.
Unfortunately, the box office share of the two movies on the day they were released was much lower than the share of the scheduled films. "Only Yun Knows" had 21.54 million on the first day, and "Star Wars Episode 9" only had a pitiful 17.01 million.
The low box office resulted in the subsequent cuts of the two films, which in turn led to even lower box office, creating a vicious cycle.
Among the several movies released at the same time, only "Ip Man 4" performed well at the box office. It received 97.52 million on the first day. Its single-day box office performance surpassed "Manslaughter" and became the new domestic box office champion.
On the following two weekend days, [Ip Man 4] received box office results of 120 million and 107 million respectively, with 328 million in the first week, firmly occupying the top spot at the box office for three consecutive days.
[Manslaughter] was released for two weeks and 10 days, with a total box office of 936 million.
Mainly due to the influence of several newly released movies, the film schedule has been somewhat reduced and failed to exceed 1 billion.
On the 23rd, the Tengxun Video Starlight Awards were held at the Water Cube in Beijing.
At around 7 o'clock in the evening, the sky had completely darkened, but the red carpet stage designed by Tengxun outside the Water Cube was still brightly lit.
With the strength of Tengxun, the Shin Kong Awards is naturally star-studded, with many popular stars of domestic entertainment attending.
After everyone had passed by, a face that reporters and fans had been waiting for finally walked onto the red carpet.
“Ah ah ah, Gu Wei, Gu Wei is here!”
"Gu Wei, I love you!!"
"Brother, I will give birth to a monkey for you!!!"
Amidst bursts of cheers and screams, Gu Wei, wearing a white suit, During the host's introduction, he walked across the red carpet and stood in front of the signature board.
"Teacher Gu Wei came to participate in the Starlight Awards today, and he looked so star-studded.
What have you been busy with recently, can you share with us?"
After signing his name, while being photographed by the media, the field host pulled Gu Wei and asked him a question.
When he said starry, he was referring to the Bulgari diamond brooch worn on Gu Wei's chest, which really shone under the light.
“It’s the end of the year, and I have been participating in some activities recently.”
“Do you have any work arrangements in the future?”
“I’m about to join a group to shoot a film. A new play.”
"I look forward to seeing more and better works from you in the future."
The red carpet process ended. Gu Wei entered the venue, walked through the aisles under the leadership of the staff, and passed through the entire guest area to the front. in front of a semicircular sofa.
"Gu Wei~"
"Boss~"
"Boss!"
Some ceremonies arrange the celebrities to sit in normal seats, while others sit around a round table. The Star Awards designed the guest area into semi-circular long sofas, with 4 rows across and 5 rows in between. There are about 5 people sitting on the sofa.
Gu Wei's seat was naturally at the front of the audience, and the other people sitting with him were also very interesting, including Yang Mi, Dilraba Dilraba, and Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi from his company.
After he arrived, Yang Mi greeted him, and Xiao Zhan and the two quickly stood up and said hello.
Only Reba looked at Gu Wei with a smile on her face and said nothing.
"Sit down, you don't have to be so restrained outside, and you don't have to call the boss" Gu Wei said to the two money trees with a smile.
Ceremonies like the Star Awards value popularity and popularity the most.
It’s no surprise that Gu Wei and Yang Mi sit together. Reba is now also a top female.
Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi have just become popular this year and you can sit with them. It can be seen that these two people are now very popular.
Of course, Tengxun’s arrangement is also because the two of them are artists under Gu Wei, just like Reba sitting next to Yang Mi.
“Sister Mi is so beautiful today, Reba is also beautiful!”
After talking to Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi, Gu Wei sat directly in the middle of the semicircular sofa, with Yang Mi beside him and Reba sitting on the other side of Yang Mi.
"You are very handsome today too!"
Yang Mi was wearing a white lace dress and looked at Gu Wei next to her with a smile on her face.
"Of course, I am handsome all the time, everyone says so"
Gu Wei raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
"You stinky fart!"
Although it was true, Yang Mi still said it to Gu Wei out of habit.
Then she thought for a while and asked with a smile: "Do you think it is me or Reba who looks better today?"
After saying this, Reba, who had been listening to the two chatting, also looked. To Gu Wei, she didn't speak much in Da Mi Mi's presence, but there was still some expectation in her eyes at this time.
Gu Wei glanced at Reba, then looked at Yang Mi with a smile: "Sister Mi, why are you competing with Reba? You are several years older than her"
Yang Mi looked angry after hearing this: "Do you think I'm old?"
Reba secretly covered her mouth and laughed.
“Of course not, I mean you are my aunt, the most beautiful woman in the world before you, Reba is the most beautiful woman in the world after you.
As for Ye Hua For me, Bai Qian is definitely the most beautiful!"
Gu Wei's words were so beautiful. He did not answer Yang Mi's question directly, but talked about their roles in "Three Lives Three Worlds". , no one will be offended.
Finally, he emphasized that Bai Qian was the most beautiful among Ye Hua and praised Yang Mi again.
Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi were listening to the two chatting on the other side, and they could see the boss's language art.
The two looked at each other with great admiration.
‘As expected of a boss, he can answer this kind of question so well and praise two people at the same time. It’s amazing! ’ Xiao Zhan blinked.
Zeng Shunxi nodded slightly.
'How about the boss who has been in the industry for so many years and has had so many scandals but never failed to do so? This is called the art of language, and we can learn it slowly. ’
“By the way, congratulations on the success of your company’s movie [Manslaughter]. The box office today exceeded 1 billion!” Yang Mi was also quite satisfied with Gu Wei’s words, and smiled and talked about other things.
“Thank you~”
“How did you do it, not only did the movies you acted in become hits, but the movies you produced also had such high box office?”
Yang Mi With an envious look on her face, as a top domestic entertainment actress, she has reached the top among popular celebrities. What she wants to do most now is to transform into a movie star and a powerful person.
“First we need to find a good script, then we need to find a good director, a good team, and good actors, and finally we have to work harder when announcing the release.
If we can do all of these, even if we can’t sell it well, At least you won’t lose money.”
Gu Wei said what he was thinking.
Although most of the success of his movies relies on prophets, he has also learned some rules over the years.
Now even if he is asked to make an original movie, Gu Wei is confident that it will be a hit.
"It's easy for you to say, but these points are too difficult for me." Yang Mi sighed with emotion.
Gu Wei's current celebrity status is too high. He can pick and choose most of the film and television resources in the industry at will, but other actors do not have this ability, they can only be selected.
Even though Yang Mi is so famous, she can only get along in the circles of ancient puppets and modern puppets. It is difficult for her to integrate into the circles of dramas and movies.
