Huayu is free to do as you like

Liu Yifei was assigned a seat in the front row by Gu Wei, and soon the premiere officially began.

The main actors of the crew came to the center of the stage under the leadership of director Su Youpeng.

Gu Wei stood next to Director Su. His height of 185cm made him look a bit outstanding among this group of actors.

Although the official heights of Yang Yang and Ou Hao are 180cm, the difference is actually quite large.

The actors on the stage first introduced themselves, and then the host began to ask some questions.

The host of the premiere is Liu Yan from Enlight Media. She wore a dark blue cheongsam today, showing off her curvy figure.

"Director Su, I heard that Guangguang approached you first. You refused at first. Do you have any concerns?"

The host first asked questions to the director.

“Yes, I thought it was incredible at first, and I didn’t even want to meet him.

The agent said that he was also the boss of Guangguang, so he told me in person out of etiquette.

That day I arrived at Mr. Wang's office, relaxed and calm, and I told him that I didn't know how to direct. I really didn't know anything.

But he said it as if it was a very simple matter, as if I would be too ignorant if I continued to refuse. I said okay, I’ll read the novel. "

Su Youpeng's answer caused a burst of laughter from the audience.

"But you ended up directing it. What do you think is the most special thing about it compared to other youth films?"

“I think [Left Ear] still has something that attracts me.

It was popular 10 years ago because the story was popular and interesting.

From an artistic point of view, anyone who knows me well knows my standards for taking on roles. I am not interested in roles that are not challenging. "

After asking the director a few questions, the host brought the topic to Gu Wei.

"I would like to ask Gu Wei, what made you take the role of [Left Ear]? As far as I know, this is your first youth-themed film."

Gu Wei took the phone and said:

"First of all, I was interested in the story of [Left Ear]. After I got the script, I read it several times. I felt that this story was different from ordinary youth movies, and the male protagonist was not a good gentleman in the traditional sense.

I find it very challenging to play such a character.

Then there is director Su Youpeng. I grew up watching his TV series and am a fan of his. "

As he spoke, Gu Wei turned to look at Su Youpeng, and Director Su also looked at him with a smile.

"It is also a very happy thing to be able to collaborate on a movie with my childhood idol."

"So Gu Wei, which play by Director Su is your favorite?"

The host asked, continuing the topic.

Gu Wei looked at Lin Xinru and Gu Juji who came today and said:

"Of course it's [Eternal Dragon Slayer]. Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen in it are so beautiful. I loved watching it when I was a kid!"

Su Youpeng on the side smiled and said:

"How can you be my fan? Are you envious of my role as Zhang Wuji in "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer"?"

This remark caused another burst of laughter from the audience.

"So Director Su, what do you think of the male protagonist Gu Wei?"

Su Youpeng thought for a moment and said:

"To be honest, when the movie was being prepared, someone suggested that Gu Wei be cast as the male lead, but I had no hope.

Because I am just a new director, and this movie is a romance movie with a small investment. Gu Wei was at the time when it was a big hit, so I think there is a high probability that he will not like this movie.

Moreover, our crew cannot afford his salary.

Later, Mr. Wang from Guangguang told me to invite me to try it out. As long as Gu Wei is willing to participate, he can make up for any budget shortfall.

Unexpectedly, Gu Wei agreed quickly after we sent the script, and when he heard that our budget was limited, he even offered to convert the remuneration into investment, so that we would have enough money for filming.

Later, during the filming of the movie, Gu Wei also showed the level expected of a professional actor, and also helped me a lot during the filming.

So I have always been very grateful to him. "

The host's questions then focused mainly on Gu Wei, and also brought in other actors.

Finally, Su Youpeng was asked about his expectations for the movie’s box office.

"[Left Ear] is my first directorial film. I feel that I have done my best. I don't insist on much in terms of box office. As long as I can get my money back in the end, I will be very satisfied!"

Su Youpeng said it very modestly, and these were indeed the truest thoughts in his heart.

The host asked Gu Wei again.

"Some time ago, there was a very good action war movie [Wolf Warrior] on the market, which sold more than 500 million at the box office. The director of that movie, Jing Ge, also came to the scene today."

Wu Jing in the audience waved to Gu Wei.

"I think [Left Ear] has a different subject matter, but it is the same excellent Chinese film as [Wolf Warrior], so I think there should be no problem if the box office exceeds 500 million."

As soon as the words fell, the media in the audience started talking about it.

Although the domestic film market is getting bigger and bigger, there are still very few films with high box office.

Prior to this, the highest box office of a youth-themed movie was Zhao Wei's "To Our Fading Youth" with 720 million.

But that was the result of the right time, place and people. When "To Our Fading Youth" was released, it once occupied more than 50% of the domestic film schedule at that time.

Although actors are not as popular as Gu Wei, Zhao Youting, Han Geng, Yang Zishan, and Jiang Shuying are all well-known.

[Left Ear] It seems that only Gu Wei is taking the leading role, and the most important thing is that [Fast and Furious 7] is still raging in the market and reaping the box office.

"All Things Grow" directed by great director Li Yu and starring Fan Bingbing and Han Geng was a critical hit when it was released last week. The box office has not exceeded 100 million in the week. Judging from the box office trend, it is already a sure bet.

Everyone thinks that even with Gu Wei's current popularity and his fans' overwhelming support, it would be good for "Left Ear" to have a box office of more than 200 million.

It's not that everyone doesn't think highly of him, it's just that the weather is not good now. If it were any other time, the 500 million Gu Wei mentioned would not be hopeless.

The interview session at the premiere ended quickly, the lights in the screening room dimmed, and the movie "Left Ear" began to be shown on the big screen.

Xu Mao is a professional film critic. He was also invited by Enlight Media to attend the premiere of "Left Ear" today.

I originally thought it was just a low-budget youth movie, and only Gu Wei had something interesting to watch. Unexpectedly, many celebrities came to the premiere.

Needless to say, Lin Xinru and Gu Juji are friends of Director Su. Xu Zheng was probably invited to the stage by Enlight, and the investor of "Thailand" is Enlight Media.

What he didn't expect was that the recently popular director Wu Jing would also come. He had also gone to see "Wolf Warrior" a few days ago.

Objectively speaking, the movie was well shot, although it is indeed a bit self-explanatory, but if you think carefully about any of the Hollywood action blockbusters that are not self-exciting, the logic is untenable.

And Liu Yifei, this beauty rarely participates in such activities.

It seems that Gu Wei still has more face!

Xu Mao habitually took out a small notebook and a pen. As a professional film critic, these are essential.

He already had the red envelope from Guangwang in his pocket, and he made a decision in his mind that as long as the movie wasn't too bad, he would give it a good show.

Don't think of film critics as being too high-minded. Film critics also need to eat.

The movie unfolds from the perspective of "Li Er" played by the heroine Chen Duling.

"This heroine is very innocent. Although her acting skills are average, she is very suitable for this role. There is nothing wrong with playing a middle school student~"

Xu Mao thought after reading the beginning.

The movie soon moved to a scene where the three male protagonists were playing basketball together, and all the main actors were present for this scene.

When "Zhang Yang" played by Gu Wei took off his hat and shirt to reveal his angular muscles, Liu Yifei's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Why didn't you notice that Gu Wei had such a good figure during filming and dinner parties before?"

Wu Jing also whispered.

"This guy's muscle lines are more obvious than mine. How did he train?"

After a basketball game, the second female lead "Li Bala" played by Ma Chun fell hopelessly in love with "Zhang Yang".

This plot, which was the most controversial in the original version, seems extremely reasonable now. After all, Gu Wei even took off his shirt, and how could any girl not be tempted by his appearance and figure?

Just like Yang Guo played by Gu Tianle, based on Bai Gu's appearance, it seems very reasonable to miss Yang Guo for his entire life.

For example, Ou Hao's role as "Zhang Yang" in the original version can only be said to be a bit handsome, but it is not as good as our handsome and self-aware teacher Yang Yang.

The plot developed normally. "Xu Yi" played by Yang Yang fell because of his feelings, and "Li Bala" played by Ma Chun died in a car accident due to a misunderstanding.

Many years later, Gu Wei and Chen Duling returned to the town again. The pain of youth was healed by time. They both forgave themselves and moved towards a new life.

The movie ended and the lights in the screening room came on.

Liu Yifei's nose felt a little sore.

She is an emotional person, and she usually reads some youth-themed novels. Although she has never experienced it, the emotions shown in the movie "Left Ear" still touched her very much.

After the screening, the main creator and his team went on stage to answer some questions from reporters present.

Some celebrities who came to support also came on stage to express encouragement to the main creators.

Among the celebrities, the 79-year-old teacher Li Mingqi is particularly eye-catching.

She seemed a little excited to see the cast of "My Fair Princess" reunited again. After praising Su Youpeng's movie, she saw Lin Xinru was also present and said solemnly:

"Because I stabbed her with a needle in "Huanzhugege", people all over the country have hated me for many years.

But ours was really a fake piercing. I held the tip of the needle and pierced it, so hard that it hit my face. "

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

After the premiere, Gu Wei first sent Wu Jing away and then came to Liu Yifei.

"Congratulations, the movie is very good, and you as the leading actor are also great. I believe that the 500 million box office you mentioned will come true."

Liu Yifei said softly, her eye circles still a little red.

"Sister Yifei still believes in me. These media will probably report that I am bragging tomorrow."

"If you are always successful, others will believe it next time you blast~"

Liu Yifei pursed her lips and smiled, as brightly as flowers in bloom.

While the two were chatting, they didn't pay attention. Some reporters who hadn't gone out were secretly taking photos of the two together.

"By the way, Sister Yifei, I will be hosting some friends from the crew for dinner later. Do you want to come with me?"

Liu Yifei was a little moved, but after thinking about it she still declined Gu Wei's invitation.

"When you have time, let's get together alone. I'm not used to gathering with strangers. I have some social anxiety and it will feel very awkward~"

"No problem, I'll ask you alone next time!"
