[A Little Smile Is Charming] is still popular online, but Gu Wei's main energy has been withdrawn from the TV series.

Because "Monster Hunt" is about to be released.

Although he did not invest in this film, he just received the salary.

The shooting time was also the shortest among all the film and television dramas he starred in. In addition, the filming method was full of green cloth, and the sense of participation was really not strong.

However, as the male protagonist of the movie and the most important card during promotion, Gu Wei still needs to cooperate with the distributor's various promotional activities.

[Anle Pictures] has long distributed promotional materials to almost every theater in the country, so that no matter what movie the audience enters the theater, they will unconsciously notice the huge poster of Gu Wei, Bai Baihe and Huba.

The official online Weibo will also release the latest trailers from time to time to whet the audience's appetite.

The offline team began to hold offline press conferences in major cities across the country to promote the film.

Of course, as the leading actor, Gu Wei cannot help but travel with the team for promotions.

Fortunately, [Anle] did not squeeze him desperately. He only needed to go to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, a few major cities in the country, and he was not in a hurry.

As time enters July, the annual summer season slowly begins.

As one of the most important schedules in China, summer schedules are increasingly valued by insiders.

Its characteristics are that it lasts for a long time, nearly 2 months, the movie-watching group becomes younger, and students are on vacation.

Last year's summer movie season across the country generated a total box office of 9.09 billion, accounting for 30.7% of the full year's share.

In other words, nearly one-third of the box office in 2014 was generated in the two months of the summer season.

And July also has a name, called Domestic Film Protection Month.

As early as 2004, from the perspective of supporting domestic films, the National Film Administration verbally issued a notice that it hoped that theaters across the country would support domestic films. Around July every year, the introduction of overseas blockbusters was not encouraged.

Later, this became an unwritten practice in the industry to protect domestic films. Distributors and theaters all abide by this rule tacitly, even if this statement has never been officially recognized.

As early as the end of June this year, there were no more overseas blockbusters released. The last Hollywood movie was "Jurassic World" released on June 10.

This fourth installment in the "Jurassic Park" series does not mess with Spielberg's trademark. It is very good in terms of plot and visual effects. It can be said that it is better than the previous one.

It was released for more than 20 days and grossed 1.41 billion at the domestic box office.

The reputation is also very good.

To be honest, this year’s domestic films have been beaten to the ground by Hollywood blockbusters since April.

Since the release of "Fast and Furious 7" in early April, it has quickly swept the country with exaggerated box office data and explosive popularity, becoming the new domestic box office champion with a box office of 2.4 billion.

Then it was taken over by [Avengers 2] in May, which took in a box office of 1.45 billion within a month.

Finally, there is [Jurassic World] in June, one movie per month, leaving no room for domestic movies.

Only "Wolf Warrior", "Left Ear", and "Why Shengxiaomo" were released between the two Hollywood blockbusters and achieved certain results due to the differentiation of their themes, but more domestic films He was crushed to the point where not even a scrap was left.

The most typical one is Fan Bingbing and Han Geng's "Everything Grows". If it hadn't caught up with the second week of the release of "Fast and Furious 7", it would not have been able to make back its capital.

This situation has caused everyone to be a little afraid of Hollywood blockbusters, and domestic movies that have some expectations for their own box office do not want to be on the same schedule as these blockbusters, so the summer season has become a popular time for domestic movies to be released together.

On June 26, the youth love movie "I Heard" by hard-working actor Peng Yuyan was released. Maybe the crew was too poor and found a little-known small distributor.

As a result, the movie had a box office of 437,000 on the first day after its release, a box office of 1.352 million in the first week, and a total box office of 2.43 million after two weeks of release. Then it was quietly removed from the theaters.

Come quietly, go quietly, without causing any splash.

Although it failed at the box office, the movie has a good reputation. The high score of 7.8 on Douban also comforts our hard-working hero.

However, there is no best, only more.

The comedy movie "Otaku", which was released on the same day as "I Heard", allowed people in the industry to see what real street fighting is.

This youth comedy produced by [Bona Pictures] and directed by the famous director Zhu Yanping, starring Xiao Jingteng, Jiang Shuying, Da Peng, Xie Na and others, had a box office of 52,600 on the first day.

That's right, it was either 5.26 million or 52,600. It made a total of 322,000 in the first week of release, and then no theaters scheduled movies for it.

This movie is billed as another big-name comedy film by the great director Zhu Yanping after "Slam Dunk" and "Laughing in the River".

[Bona] and Director Zhu also spent a lot of effort during promotion.

The crew broke the news that Xiao Jingteng, who is known as the God of Rain, started to rain on the first day he joined the set. The director was worried and spent a lot of time hiding from the rain every day.

But it didn't work, the audience didn't buy it.

For Zhu Yanping's first two films, the audience went to Zhou Wenjun, Zhao Benshan and Xiao Shenyang.

This time there is no star who can attract the audience to the movie. No one will pay for this kind of bad movie at first sight.

Bona Media.

Yu Dong is in a bad mood now.

He felt that Zhu Yanping had tricked him. Except for the heroine, everything else in the movie was decided by the director.

Boehner was only responsible for financing and publicity for the film's subsequent release.

As a result, he lost all his money.

This is no longer a question of loss or loss, but a matter of losing a penny as much as you invest.

Even [Bona Pictures] will be affected by some negative reviews.

Fortunately, what made him a little lucky was that he insisted on inviting Gu Wei to participate in "Operation Mekong" and did not listen to Lin Chaoxian's advice to find Peng Yuyan.

As movies released on the same day, "I heard" and "Otaku" can be said to be brothers.

He also knows [I heard] that a good reputation is good, but what is the use of a good reputation? He is the boss of a film and television company, a capital, and a pure businessman. He makes movies just to make money, not for art.

Peng Yuyan's box office appeal is almost non-existent.

Thinking of this, he picked up his cell phone and called Gu Wei.

At this time, Gu Wei, who was outside promoting "Monster Hunt", was quite surprised when he got the mobile phone from his assistant. He wondered what Yu Dong wanted to see him for?

After answering the phone, Yu Dong was polite to him for a long time without saying anything useful.

It happened that Gu Wei had something to tell Yu Dong.

"Dr. Yu, I'm sorry. Due to my filming schedule, the originally planned time of joining the team at the end of September may be postponed for a few days. Please see."

"Haha~ It doesn't matter. You are so busy now. I can understand if you wait a few days. I will talk to Director Lin about this later."

Yu Dong was stunned for a moment, and then agreed generously.

"Originally, the schedule was quite tight, but now it seems that [Monster Hunt] will have to delay some more time. It's really hard to make ends meet~"

Gu Wei explained.

"I understand, I understand. I've also heard about Mr. An's movie [Monster Hunt]. The filming process was very bumpy.

However, with Mr. Gu joining in, I believe there will be a box office result that satisfies everyone in the end! "

"Then I'll lend you your good words, Dong!"

July 8th.

The crew of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" held a grand premiere ceremony at Sparkle Lai International Cinema in Beijing.

Director Chen Kaige, starring Wang Baoqiang, Aaron Kwok, Zhang Zhen, Lin Zhiling, Fan Wei and others all appeared.

Gu Wei was invited by Bao Qiang and came to the scene.

He had just finished the "Monster Hunt" promotional conference in Shanghai, and two days later, the film's official premiere ceremony would be held in Beijing.

Because he was invited to support him, Gu Wei was dressed more casually, wearing a well-fitting white T-shirt, light blue jeans, and a pair of white canvas shoes. He looked very refreshing and youthful.

He arrived not too late and did not delay on the red carpet. He waved to the screaming fans outside the guardrails on both sides with a smile and strode into the cinema.

"Brother Wei, I know your movie is about to be released, and I have been busy promoting it recently. Thank you for coming today!"

Wang Baoqiang immediately spotted Gu Wei entering the door and came forward with a simple and honest smile.

Gu Wei met Wang Baoqiang two years ago when they were filming "Tang Detective 1". After leaving the crew, when they met again, he still called him "Gu Gu Dao".

Gu Wei saw that he was older and senior, and admired his character, so he just asked him to call him by his name.

But Wang Baoqiang refused, and when we met again during the recording of the program, he simply called him "Brother Wei." Gu Wei had no choice but to let him go.

"It's going to premiere in two days, and I happen to be in the capital now, so of course I have to come over to support you.

How about it, does it feel good to be the male lead for director Chen Kaige? "

Wang Baoqiang looked excited.

"It was very good. I learned a lot from filming with Director Chen. I feel like I have grown a lot after filming!"

"It seems I have to thank Director Chen properly."

Wang Baoqiang was a little puzzled.

"Next month you will join the team to shoot [Tang Detective 2]. Then I will be using the upgraded version of Wang Baoqiang!"

Gu Wei said with a smile.

After chatting with Wang Baoqiang for a few more words, Gu Wei was led by him to director Chen Kaige.

Director Chen was wearing a black suit today, and his black and white hair was taken care of meticulously.

Standing next to him was his wife, Chen Hong, who was once known as "the most beautiful woman in mainland China".

She was wearing a red evening dress, with an elegant temperament. Although her beauty was in her later years, she could still vaguely see the style of the past between her eyebrows.

"Director, this is my good friend, Gu Wei, who I mentioned to you before, the most popular star right now."

Wang Baoqiang actively introduced Brother Chen Kai.

"Hello, Director Chen, I am the actor Gu Wei. I like your "Farewell My Concubine" very much."

Gu Wei said hello politely.

"I've heard your name. You're a handsome guy. He's been very popular in the past year."

Brother Chen Kai looked at Gu Wei's face and stretched out his hand to shake his hand.

"They are all false names, not worth mentioning~"

Gu Wei said modestly.

"Well, indeed, I still need to study more on my acting skills when I have time. If I have a chance, I'll ask you to film a movie."

Brother Chen Kai nodded and said.

He couldn't stop Gu Wei with just one sentence. He just said a few words of humility. He didn't expect Brother Chen Kai to say that.

He couldn't continue chatting like this, so he had to leave.

"Um~ Director Chen, you are busy first, I won't disturb you."

"good."

Brother Chen Kai had no expression on his face and said nothing after replying a single word.

Seeing Gu Wei and Wang Baoqiang leaving, Chen Hong, who was standing next to him with a smile and said nothing, spoke.

"What do you think of Gu Wei?"

"No, why do you say that?"

"He is so popular now, so we should make friends with him. His box office appeal is obvious to everyone. If we cast him as the male lead in future movies, we don't have to worry about the box office."

Chen Hong said seriously.

She is Mrs. Chen, and she is Brother Chen Kai's housekeeper. She worries about him no matter in life or career.

"Does my brother Chen Kai's movie still need an actor to carry the box office? Then do the audience come to the cinema to see my movie, or do they come to see Gu Wei?"

"Okay, okay, you are the great director, you have the final say!"

When Chen Hong heard what he said, he didn't try to persuade him again.

Having been married for more than ten years, she knew Brother Chen Kai like no one else.

Very talented, but also very arrogant. In today's young people's terms, he is a "second grader".

Born into a family of artists, he has shown extraordinary talent since he was a child and grew up in a smooth environment. In "Farewell My Concubine", he became a god and became one of the three major directors in China.

His life was so smooth that he kept floating in the sky and never landed.

So when he made a bad movie like "The Promise", everyone scolded him, but he still felt that it was because the audience couldn't understand it, not because he didn't shoot it well.

Some directors are incapable of making bad movies, and they know they are making bad movies.

Brother Chen Kai never thinks that the movies he makes are bad. In his heart, his works are good and excellent, but others cannot understand them.

Of course, he does have the ability to produce good works.

Not to mention "Farewell My Concubine" which is too far away, "Mei Lanfang" and "Search" in recent years are all rare masterpieces in the film industry.

"Don't mind it. Director Chen is not targeting you. This is how he usually talks."

After walking aside, Wang Baoqiang explained for Brother Chen Kai.

Although Wang Baoqiang looks honest and honest, he must be the person with the highest emotional intelligence in the entertainment industry.

"What do I have to mind? It's our first meeting, and Director Chen didn't say anything."

Gu Wei waved his hand and said he didn't care.

"Baoqiang, is this your friend?"

Just as Wang Baoqiang was about to say something, a whispering voice came from behind him.

He turned around and saw Lin Zhiling, wearing a long black slim-fitting dress with neat short hair, standing elegantly behind him.

She has a bright and elegant appearance, fair and supple skin, and a curvy figure. The skirt is slit from the thigh on the side, and a pair of fair and slender legs are exposed, adding to the temptation.

"Teacher Zhiling, this is my friend Gu Wei, you must have heard of him."

Wang Baoqiang introduced.

"Hello, Miss Lin Zhiling, I am Gu Wei. I have been famous for a long time. You are more beautiful in person than in the movie!"

Gu Wei stretched out his hand to shake Lin Zhiling's hand and said.

"Hello, Mr. Gu, you are really good at talking, and I have read many of your works.

Your TV series Zaiwanwan is extremely popular, and I am as handsome as in the TV series~"

Hearing Gu Wei's compliment, Lin Zhiling first covered her mouth and chuckled, and then praised Gu Wei in the same way.

Lin Zhiling seemed to be very interested in Gu Wei and stood here chatting with him for a long time. It was not until the premiere was about to begin that she reluctantly said goodbye to Gu Wei and walked to the stage.

"Tsk, tsk, there are so many models in Wanwan. It's no wonder that they are able to stand out. Not only are they good-looking, but they also speak so nicely. Their emotional intelligence is really high!"

Gu Wei looked at Lin Zhiling's back, shook his head slightly and thought.
