Chapter 791 The premiere was a blast
Ying'er and his wife came early. When they first arrived at the theater, there were not many people. It was not until the ticket check-in time that the number of people gradually increased.
It can be seen from the LED screens around the ticket hall that most of the theater's film schedule on this day was given to the newly released "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils".
This situation is normal.
No other new movies have been released in the past two days, and various movies that have been released since last month have also hit the streets.
The theaters can't wait to give all the film schedules to "Zhou Chu Removes Three Evils".
At this time, apart from the producer, the people who most hope that [Zhou Chu] will sell well are the bosses of major theaters.
After more than half a year of closure, rent, water, electricity, labor, and money are constantly flowing away every day like running water. Those with a strong foundation can still persist. Some theater owners who expanded wildly when the film and television industry were booming are now Already heavily in debt.
Finally, the authorities allowed cinemas to open, but the cold market gave everyone another blow.
After the opening, there were very few customers every day, and the money earned was not enough to cover the extra water, electricity and labor costs after reopening.
Therefore, the theaters most hope that Gu Wei's "The Three Evils" can be a big hit. On the one hand, making money, they also hope that his movie can warm up the currently icy film market and reawaken everyone's enthusiasm for watching movies.
The so-called "rescue movie" is not just talk. The current movie market really needs a blockbuster movie to boost morale.
“I didn’t expect so many people to watch the movie in the morning?”
After checking in and entering the theater, she found her seat and sat down. Yinger took off her mask and took a sip of Coke. Said to her husband beside her.
“It’s summer vacation. Haven’t you seen that these viewers look very young?”
After hearing this, Ying'er looked around and whispered: "It seems to be true."
After saying that, she sighed with emotion: "It's great to be young!"
Fu Xinbo was a little bit He touched her head funny: "It sounds like you are so old~"
"I used to think I was a child, but now I am the mother of a child.
Feeling We are not in the same world as these young people.”
"Haha, you will always be a cute little girl in my heart"
"So disgusting~"
Ying'er said this, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise.
When they first fell in love, she was more famous than Fu Xinbo and had better film and television resources.
In the end, she was able to accept the other person and get married and have children soon. It was also because she recognized Fu Xinbo as a person.
You must know that getting married and having children for female celebrities actually has an impact on their popularity, especially when they are on the rise.
The most typical one is Liu Shishi. After getting married, he immediately exploded his base, and his popularity dropped all the way. After his comeback, he was reduced to acting with Liu Yuning, a former Internet celebrity.
Currently, it seems that Ying'er's original decision was correct. Her husband treats her very well, and her family is warm, harmonious and very happy.
Not long after we sat down, the lights in the theater dimmed and a movie started playing on the big screen.
[Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils] The film is 134 minutes long, but the pace is very tight. It can be said that it grabs the audience's attention tightly from the beginning and makes everyone follow the protagonist Chen Guilin. Get through it together.
It can be said that there is no peeing throughout the film. For more than two hours, there were very few other sounds in the theater except for occasional exclamations.
Everyone was really attracted by the plot of this movie and completely immersed in the story.
In the last scene, Chen Guilin lay on the mat and was executed. With the sound of a gunshot, the screen went black and the end credits began to roll.
The lights in the theater turned on, and everyone slowly escaped from the world created by the movie.
Fu Xinbo and his wife got up and walked out with the flow of people. They could clearly hear the comments of others.
They were probably all "It's so cool!", "Gu Wei is so handsome!", "It's a pity that Chen Guilin died after obviously killing so many bad guys!" and so on.
After walking out of the cinema, Yinger turned to look at her husband beside her.
“The scale of this movie is also too big. It’s hard to imagine that the General Administration will allow it to be released.” After all, they are insiders and know that compared with the wonderful plot, it is the most difficult thing for this movie to be released. of.
“We knew it would not be easy to pass the review, so the background of the story was placed in Wanwan.
This is the same as Gu Wei’s [Tang Detective] series. The same subject matter is definitely popular in China. No, but changing the location abroad will be fine.
And I remember that Gu Wei said during the live broadcast some time ago that the screening will be censored. Based on the current market situation, the censorship will be relatively loose."
Ying'er nodded.
"This In the movie, Gu Wei really broke through himself by playing such a role.
My impression of him is still the "Fan Xian" in the previous "Qing Yu Nian". He suddenly changed from a handsome young man to a murderous wanted criminal, and I am still a little uncomfortable."
Fu Xin Bo smiled slightly: "But he acted very well, didn't he~
In the movie just now, it was obvious that Gu Wei was deliberately trying to look ugly, including his skin color, hair shape, and too-large suit.
The character "Chen Guilin" is portrayed so lifelike that there is no shadow of the characters in his previous works.
I don’t know how much box office [Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils] will get, but I think Gu Wei will definitely win a lot of awards for his performance in this movie.”
Ying’er listened. Fu Xinbo nodded in agreement.
The two were walking in the mall when Ying'er's phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at the phone screen and then picked up the phone.
“Hello, Tiantian~”
Hang up the phone after chatting for a while.
Fu Xinbo listened to her phone call from the side and roughly knew the content of the conversation between the two.
"You just watched the movie and you want to watch it again with Jingtian?"
"It doesn't matter, Tiantian asked me to just accompany her, and there were some parts that I didn't quite understand just now. I'll read the movie reviews and watch it again later."
Fu Xinbo shook his head: "Then I’m back home, and I’m not worried about the nanny taking care of the kids alone.”
Ying’er smiled and said, “Thank you for your hard work, husband, then you can go back, I’ll wait for Tiantian here.”
[Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils] will undoubtedly be a box office hit after its release!
On the first day of release, it took in a box office of RMB 246 million, accounting for 64% of the national film schedule, accounting for 89% of the total national box office on that day.

[Sure enough, you have to watch Gu Wei when watching a movie, he never disappoints!
I originally went to the cinema with the idea of supporting domestic films, but I was surprised by "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils".
It’s hard to imagine that this film was made in China. From the plot to the photography to the actors’ performance, everything is so amazing.
Although the cinema has just opened, I think this movie is the best movie of this year, bar none! 】【One word "cool!"!
From the beginning of the funeral killings, to the pursuit of the "Aberdeen", to the killing spree in the spiritual monastery and the killing of the "Venerable", the whole movie is completed in one go, full of fun!
The review department should be commended for being able to be screened at this level in China. It has really improved! 】
【The film lives up to its title, it is really "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils". It is both "subversive" and "exhilarating". It can be said that it perfectly integrates commercialism and artistry.
Gu Wei's performance is very exciting, it is hard to imagine that he has the courage to try a role like "Chen Guilin".
The performances of other actors are not inferior at all. Wu Zhenyu's "Aberdeen" and Zhang Songwen's "The Lord". It is a pleasure to watch every scene between them and the protagonist! 】
【I almost always cover my eyes and jump away from violent scenes, it hurts too much!
What gave me goosebumps was the scene of shooting the believers. It may be the only one in a domestic theatrical movie!
Who would have thought that Gu Wei has such a devilish and crazy temperament? I love him so much! 】
【Sure enough, there is a saying that makes sense: "Guilin's killer is the best in the world"! 】
[They are so crazy, but I like them so much! 】
【Zhou Chu was not forgiven by his fellow villagers for killing tigers and dragons, and Chen Guilin was not able to escape the sanction of the law for killing the most wanted criminal.
The prodigal son can turn back, but the human heart is unpredictable. It is easy to write the words good and evil, but it is difficult to judge the good and evil things]
[A huge crowd] The crew.
“.Thank Yinger and her husband for me, and have time to have dinner together.
My crew will probably finish filming by the end of the month, and I’ll see you when [Qing Yu Nian 2] starts shooting next month.”
After chatting for a few more words, Gu Wei smiled and hung up the phone, while Reba beside him blinked curiously. Big eyes.
“Jingtian? "
Gu Wei nodded.
"In order to support [Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils], she went to the cinema to watch the movie. She called me to congratulate me on the box office success and praised the movie. OK.”
In the past two days, Gu Wei has received many calls from friends, congratulating him on the success of his new film.
“I also read a lot of news and comments about the movie on the Internet. Everyone said that this movie is a rare masterpiece in recent years, and its release is an improvement in the radio and television review system.
I’m really curious about how the movie turned out.”
Gu Wei smiled and said, “It’s not easy. There’s no night show tonight. I’ll take you to see it after the show is over.”
"Really? That's great!" Reba looked happy after hearing Gu Wei's words.
While the two were chatting, Gu Wei's cell phone rang again.
He took a look and picked it up.
"Hello~"
"Gu Wei, congratulations on the movie's success!"
Liu Yifei's slightly cheerful voice of congratulations came from the microphone.
"Haha, thank you, thank you Sissi for posting on Weibo to help me promote it.
You also have a share of the credit for the movie's success." Gu Wei said with a smile.
"Hmph, then how can you thank me?" Liu Yifei seemed to be in a good mood and joked.
“I’ll treat you to dinner when I return to the capital in a few days!”
“That’s it, but we have to wait a little longer for the time. I have to go to the United States in a few days.”
"Is there an event over there?"
"Yeah, let's go over and help [Mulan] with promotions"
"Is the movie about to be released?"
Before that, he I have talked about this topic with Liu Yifei. [Mulan] has been scheduled several times and postponed several times, which has whetted the audience's appetite.
"That's right. In China, probably next month, Disney in North America plans to show it on streaming media in the form of on-demand. I don't know how the effect will be."
"No matter what, with Disney's global promotion capabilities and the global influence of the IP "Mulan", your popularity will definitely increase after the movie is released."
Gu Wei did not When it comes to movie box office, he knows that the future box office situation of "Mulan" will not be good.
However, even though the global box office was not ideal, the film still brought a lot of positive feedback to Liu Yifei.
Just like what he said, Liu Yifei's global popularity increased significantly after the broadcast of "Mulan". She was awarded various luxury goods endorsements one after another, and she also became the city spokesperson of Abu Dhabi. .
The last spokesperson for Abu Dhabi before her was O'Neal.
"I hope so.
By the way, I went to the cinema to see [Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils], and the filming was really good.
No wonder it got such good box office results.< br>
How did you come up with the idea of playing such a crazy and crazy character? ”
“I just want to try different types of movies and roles. I like new things and challenges the most.”
"It's great."
After the show ended in the evening, Gu Wei took Reba to a nearby cinema to watch "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" as promised.
Reba couldn't calm down for a long time after coming out of the cinema.
“It’s okay to shoot like this. I didn’t feel deeply after reading the news and netizens’ comments before, but now I understand why so many people say that the release of [Zhou Chu Removes Three Evils] is an improvement in the domestic review system.”
Gu Wei smiled: "I set the story in Bayan, so it will be easier for you to accept this movie as a Bayan film."
Reba turned to look at Gu Wei: "The story of this movie seems simple and absurd. A wanted criminal wants to eliminate two wanted criminals to prove that he is the strongest!
But it is logical and profound. I feel that the expressions in many places have deeper meanings, but I still can’t think clearly about it.”
Gu Wei smiled and hugged her: “If you don’t understand, don’t think about it. Go back and read the movie reviews.
Today’s audiences can analyze movies more clearly than directors, just like they did when they were learning Chinese texts when they were children.
It’s all clear when you look at what they say.”
Reba slapped him angrily.
“You even asked me to read a review of your movie~”
Gu Wei hugged Reba and said with a smile: “Okay, if you have any questions, I’ll tell you slowly when I get back. ”
