New Year's Eve has passed, and the Internet is full of news about the New Year's Eve concerts of various major TV stations.
Mango Channel New Year’s Eve Party won the first place with 3.8% live broadcast attention and 23% market share, once again becoming the biggest winner this year.
Of course, this achievement is mainly due to the fact that Mango Channel has invited enough popular stars, such as Gu Wei, Yang Mi, Yang Zi, and TFBOYS, these few have almost captured all the young audiences.
The performance of several people at their New Year's Eve concert naturally became a hot search topic the next day.
[Soldout], which was originally an old song, became popular again. On New Year's Day, it was on the hot song lists of several music platforms.
On the early morning of New Year's Day, Gu Wei got up and washed up.
After getting dressed, he looked at Yang Mi who was still sleeping soundly on the bed in the bedroom. He did not wake her up, but left a note on the bedside and walked out of the room.
"Say hello to Yang Mi's life assistant, don't let her team members worry."
Getting in the car to the airport, Gu Wei told Yang Dan.
When I came back last night, it was already late at night. After a few exercises, Dami Mi fell into a deep sleep. It looked like he wouldn't wake up for a while.
"Understood~" Yang Dan nodded in agreement. This was not the first time this happened, she had long been accustomed to it.
In the entertainment industry, stars have their own circles, and agents also have their own circles.
Yang Dan is not old and has not been in the industry for a long time, but because she is someone close to Gu Wei, she is also somewhat famous among domestic entertainment agents.
Not to mention the celebrities under [Wei Ming Xia], such as Yang Mi, Reba, other artists under Jiaxing and some celebrities who have a good relationship with Gu Wei, Yang Dan and their management team have over contact.
"Boss, the copyright of the Japanese movie [How to Steal the Key] that you ordered before has been purchased. In addition, we also have the film and television adaptation rights of the martial arts novel [Lotus with Auspicious Patterns]."
Gu Wei nodded.
“Say hello to director Rao Xiaozhi. Once the copyright is obtained, preparations for his movie can begin.
Inform the screenwriting department to first produce the script of [Lotus with Auspicious Patterns].”
[The method of stealing keys] is [Surge of Crowds]. Yao Xiaozhi had already started writing the script after chatting with Gu Wei last time.
[Auspicious Pattern Lotus Tower] is a full-length martial arts novel published by the author Teng Ping in 2019. After being adapted into a film and television, it became [Lotus Tower].
It is said that martial arts dramas have declined, but "Lotus Tower" is definitely a rare high-quality martial arts drama in recent years.
The pace is fast, the action scenes are exciting, the protagonist is well-characterized, the script is solid and the lines are timeless and readable, the characters are unconventional and the relationships between the characters are eye-catching, and the live-action shooting is exquisite and elegant. , ancient-style soundtrack, and sound effects that fit the atmosphere.
These advantages together gave [Lotus Tower] a Douban score of over 8.
Gu Wei has said before that he wants to film a martial arts drama, and he is talking about "Lotus Tower".
Guo Wei, the director of the original version of "Lotus House", also knows him. He is the director of popular dramas such as "Agarwood", "Chow Sheng Ru Gu", and "Chen Xiyuan".
But Gu Wei knew him earlier, because Guo Fu was Lin Yufen’s apprentice. He was the executive director of the crew when filming "The Story of Ancient Swords", and later when "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" was started, he was also the executive director of the crew. Follow the master Lin Yufen.
During New Year's Day, several movies including "Liberation·Final Rescue", "Beloved", "Dear Happy New Year", and "Angel Has Fallen" will be released.
The popular movie "Manslaughter" in December was released in its fourth week and "Ip Man 4" was released in its third week. Although it still performed well due to its good reputation, overall the box office has tended to be gentle.
The newly released love movie "Beloved" has a box office of over 100 million within 7 hours of its release and over 200 million within 25 hours, truly leading this year's New Year's Day schedule.
However, although "The Favorite" has a good box office, its reputation is mediocre. It can take the lead in the New Year's Day period because this year's New Year's Day and New Year are too close. Movies that are really confident about the box office have all gone to the Spring Festival period. ] achieved a good result of 436 million in the first week.
However, due to word-of-mouth, the single-day box office of "Beloved" dropped to 11.54 million yuan in the second week, a huge drop.
[Manslaughter] announced that it had obtained the extension key during its third week of release. By the end of its fourth week, the final box office of the film had exceeded 1.5 billion.
“I didn’t expect that [Beloved] would become the biggest winner in this year’s New Year’s Day schedule. In the past, such love platter movies rarely achieved good results.”
[Zhou Chu] crew, text Mu Ye chatted with Gu Wei.
Before joining "Wei Tianxia", he co-directed a "City in Love", which is a similar love platter movie.
The five well-known female stars, Yang Mi, Jiang Shuying, Bai Baihe, Jiang Yiyan, and Zhang Rongrong, are also well-known as male actors. As a result, the total box office was 53.59 million, which was not enough for the salaries of these stars.
After that movie, Wen Mu never received another suitable project until Gu Wei invited him to join "Wei Ming Xia".
“The audience doesn’t have a choice. Several movies are mediocre, but [The Favorite] is a good one and there are a bunch of stars.”
Because Zhang Zifeng is participating, Gu Wei deliberately posted it on his microblog I helped promote it on the blog.
Purely for the sake of his sister, he had no interest in the movie itself.
Six patchwork stories revolve around different pets. The logic can barely be explained, but it is full of various bugs if you think about it carefully.
“This year’s Spring Festival is so busy. Mr. Gu should go back to promote [Tang Detective 3] in a few days, right?”
The movies that have been scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival include Xu The competition’s [囧Mom], Chen Kexin’s [Win the Championship], Cheng Long’s [Vanguard], Lin Chaoxian’s [Emergency Rescue] and Gu Wei’s [Tang Detective 3].
The five blockbusters all have top-notch configurations. Although their popularity varies, they all have the potential to become big hits.
"Don't worry, [Tang Detective]'s IP has matured and there is no shortage of fame. I don't need to go back so early."
Gu Wei knows in his heart that if there are no accidents, [Tang Detective 3] will definitely be rescheduled. , he naturally does not need to go back.
Time passed day by day, and the filming of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" progressed little by little.
One day, bad news came, YI Qing came.
Due to policies, movie theaters across the country have closed down.
Cinemas, which are the terminals of the film and television industry, have been shut down, causing the entire industry chain to be unable to operate normally.
The inability to schedule a large number of movies for release has also caused some film and television companies to be unable to receive payment in time, thus affecting many films being shot and some projects being prepared.
Some small companies even went bankrupt due to broken capital chains.
The entire entertainment industry is in a depression, and many people working in the industry don't know where to go.
“.I know that the schedule adjustment of [Tang Detective 3] is force majeure. Just communicate with China Film, Enlight, and Wanda.
No one can say for sure when it will be released in the future, so we will wait and see.”
“The projects that the company is preparing do not need to be stopped, but everything must be in accordance with government regulations. Everyone should pay attention to protection. Be good to yourself.
If you are unable to work for special reasons, or the entire company is in this situation, don’t panic. Salaries must be paid on time.
Let me tell everyone, even if everyone goes home from now on, everyone’s salary will be paid to their cards on time, and there will not be any reduction.”
To Yuan Zai. Yang Liwen from Beijing called and told her something.
Gu Wei had long been mentally prepared for this disaster that would affect a wide area, but at most he was powerless.
If you are poor, you can be good for yourself; if you are prosperous, you can help the world. Gu Wei is considered "da", but he can only do some things within his own ability, such as spending some money for charity.
This kind of natural disaster has completely exceeded his ability. Let alone what to do, the more time passes, the more he restrains himself and does not do anything that is not related to him at all.
On the one hand, it is wise to protect oneself, on the other hand, the government has done its best, and there is no need for Gu Wei to do any unnecessary things.
All he could do was answer the call and donate.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Wei called his parents again.
I told my parents that I won’t be able to go home for the Chinese New Year this year, so I will be with the crew here in Taipei.
Gu’s mother was a little worried and asked Gu Wei a lot of questions about his life, and told him to pay attention to his own safety when he was alone outside.
Dad Gu was relatively calm and just told him that everything was fine at home and there was no need to worry.
At this time, nothing happened here in Wanwan, but everyone was more worried about their relatives and friends in the mainland.
"Brother Wei, can't we go back?" Zhou Ming had a sad look on his face. Recently, there have been a series of online news reports, and the eyes of the country and even the world are focused on the country.
“How is it possible? You can return to China even now, but the procedure is a little more troublesome. You will most likely have to be quarantined for a while.
Don’t worry too much, the SARS outbreak was also very serious back then. , but I quickly got it under control.
You must have been in your 10s at that time, so you should have some impression." Gu Wei comforted with a smile.
"I just called home. My parents said nothing happened and asked me to be careful outside by myself."
"Then you don't have to worry.
What needs to be done now Just keep filming.
Your scene will be finished relatively early, and it will probably be a little troublesome to go back then.
But it doesn’t matter, you can just follow the crew and let’s go together when everything is finished.” br>
Gu Wei comforted Zhou with a few words, and the little girl's mood quickly improved.
What happened in China also had a little impact on the filming of the plot, which caused a bit of panic.
Gu Wei and Wen Mu also discussed it and held a small meeting with the creators. After stabilizing their emotions, the crew returned to their original state.
After Gu Wei returned to the crew, the filming progress slowly reached the second story, where Chen Guilin killed Aberdeen.
The allusions in the movie "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" and "Shishuoxinyu" are the same, and there are metaphors everywhere.
The protagonist Chen Guilin is Zhou Chu, and the two most wanted criminals, Aberdeen and the Venerable, correspond to the evil tigers and evil dragons.
However, it is different from the allusion. When Zhou Chu was young, he ran rampant in the countryside. Later, he was ordered to kill the evil tiger and dragon.
In the movie, Chen Guilin is crazy from beginning to end. He also has his own softness and kindness in his heart, but his purpose of killing is just for fame.
Thinking that he has a terminal illness, in line with the principle of "leaving his name after death", he wants to do an unprecedented job, not for justice or peace of mind, just to make another splash before he dies.
Previously, Chen Guilin appeared at the funeral and shot the gangster Tietou in public, and then smiled happily at the police outside, which had already established the protagonist.
Chen Guilin is not afraid of anything, he has a fearless arrogance and the evil to do whatever he wants.
Then, whether it was killing Aberdeen or killing the Venerable, it seemed that Chen Guilin killed the two wanted criminals in front of him for fame, but in fact, it was through two stories, from various aspects and angles Show Chen Guilin's character and psychological changes.
For example, killing Aberdeen to save Cheng Xiaomei, played by Zhou Xi.
It proves that he has softness and kindness in his heart. Although he kills people, he does not bully the weak. He has the demeanor of an ancient hero.
After several days of night scenes, a chase and a fight scene, Aberdeen, played by Ng Chun Yu, was officially off the production line.
After the director shouted "Ka", Gu Wei got up from the bloody Wu Zhenyu.
"Are you okay?"
Gu Wei stretched out his hand to pull Wu Zhenyu up. The two just had a fighting scene involving various tools. It wasn't nice to watch, but it was extremely real.
"Fortunately, I was often beaten during filming. These are just trivial matters."
Wu Zhenyu stood up and patted the dirt on his body, but the blood on his head was still flowing down.
Of course, it can't be true that it's all prop blood.
Gu Wei's condition is not good either. There are various injuries on his face and body, and he looks completely disgraced.
The staff next to them quickly stepped forward and handed them quick towels.
Wu Zhenyu finished filming, and the crew held a small wrapping party for him. The next day, he left the production and returned to Hong Kong Island.
The Spring Festival is coming soon, and the crew has a half-day holiday.
In the evening, the crew rented a hotel banquet hall and gathered everyone to have a New Year's Eve dinner and watch the Spring Festival Gala.
Working in the film and television industry, especially working on a film crew, it is common to not be able to go home during holidays, and everyone is used to it.
This year’s Spring Festival Gala is as usual.
Xiao Yueyue once again appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage, but the crosstalk was still not funny.
Shen Teng and Ma Li’s sketch [going through the motions] continues the previous style.
Ma Li plays a pregnant director. In fact, she is really pregnant and is already 7 months pregnant.
Cheng Long sang the song "Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers will never fall", but it was just a branch venue in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Although Gu Wei declined the Spring Festival Gala, under the operation of [Wei Tianxia], both Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi, who became popular this year, appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
Xiao Zhan participated in the sketch "Like You Like Me", while Zeng Shunxi sang the song "Mom and Dad" with Li Ronghao and Wang Junkai.
Female star Tong Liya served as the host of this year's Spring Festival Gala.
Her performance was average, and no one cared much about it. After all, she was not a professional host.
But starting from this year, Tong Liya has more and more official resources, and she is often invited to perform at some important evening parties.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner with the crew that night, Gu Wei drank two more drinks.
After returning to the room, he did not forget to call his parents at home, and then compiled New Year messages for some close friends.
During this period, Nazha also made a video call
