Huayu is free to do as you like

July passed quickly, and "Monster Hunt" continued to sell well in its third week. It took in 460 million in box office in 7 days, and the total box office reached 1.94 billion, officially surpassing "The Return of the Monkey King" to become the box office champion among domestic movies.

On Friday, the day "Monster Hunt" reached the top, Gu Wei specifically instructed director Tian Xiaopeng to post a message on the official Weibo in the name of the "Return of the Monkey King" crew.

The picture shows the "Great Sage" handing one end of his golden hoop to the little demon king "Huba".

The accompanying text "I pass the baton to you, we must win!"

The meaning is self-evident.

The official Weibo account of [Monster Hunt] also responded immediately, saying that after taking over the important task of being the domestic film box office champion, he will definitely work harder and will not disappoint the great sage!

The interaction between the two sides also sparked quite a discussion on the Internet.

In the domestic film market, there are two other films standing ahead of "Monster Hunt".

[Transformers 4: Age of Extinction] with 1.979 billion and [Fast and Furious 7] with 2.426 billion.

According to the current box office performance of "Monster Hunt", it will only take one day in the fourth week to surpass "Transformation 4".

But whether it can surpass [Fast 7] has become a matter of concern to industry peers and a large number of domestic movie audiences.

Generally speaking, everyone is quite optimistic. After all, there is still a lot of time left for "Monster Hunt", and the box office gap between the two movies is not too big.

[Pancake Man] only took in 130 million at the box office this week. The performance in a single week is no longer as good as the first day of release. However, the total box office exceeded 1 billion, which is still something worth celebrating.

As of the end of the month, "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" directed by Chen Kaige and "Little Times 4" by Guo Xiaosi have been released one after another.

"The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" ended up with a box office of 400 million, setting a new box office record for a movie directed by Chen Kaige.

However, according to the news released by the producer, the cost of "Taoist Descending the Mountain" was 200 million, which still made a loss at the box office.

Moreover, the movie failed completely in terms of reputation. Although it has not reached the level of "The Promise", there is no doubt that Director Chen once again disappointed the audience.

In comparison, Director Guo's "Tiny Times 4" finally achieved a box office of 487 million, once again refreshing the industry's understanding of fan movies.

After all, the reputation of the "Tiny Times" series of movies has long been bad, and now the last one has seen a rise in box office instead of a drop, completely relying on the support of fanatical fans.

Since the two films were about the same time, they were inevitably compared by netizens. Of course, although the audience was disappointed with "The Taoist", they still believed that its quality was far superior to "Tiny Times 4".

It just lost slightly at the box office.

Director Chen probably never thought that one day he would be compared with Director Guo Xiaosi. No matter he won or lost, he would feel it was a shame.

In the July summer season, the Mainland Film Market delivered an astonishing response this month.

The box office in a single month is nearly 5.5 billion!

This figure is 2.1 billion higher than last month, an increase of more than 50% over the same period last year. It also rewrites the single-month box office record in mainland film history of 4.1 billion set in February this year.

The domestic film market has been developing and growing. The highest box office for a single film is now more than 2 billion, and there will be 3 billion, 4 billion or even more in the future.

The film market is becoming more and more popular, and more and more capital is focusing on the entertainment market and wants to get a piece of the pie.

[Wei Mingxia] The company's large conference room.

The main cast and crew of [Tang Detective 2] have just finished reading the script for a day, and everyone looks more or less tired.

Liu Yifei, who was sitting on the left side of Gu Wei, was wearing lavender casual clothes, her hair was tied up high, she wore black-rimmed glasses, and she had a bookish look on her face.

It can be seen that the makeup on her face is very light, and the clothes are very casual, but her cold white skin and perfect facial features make everyone who sees her have the word "big beauty!"

Since the schedule for filming in New York was very tight, Gu Wei arranged for everyone to review the script for a period of time before departure.

Let the camera crew, sound recording crew, art crew, production crew and actors of the crew fully adapt and at the same time be thoroughly familiar with the work they need to do and the roles they play, so that they can work at a high level when filming. efficiency.

"Okay, that's it for today, thank you for your hard work.

We will continue at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, don't be late! "

As Gu Wei's words sounded, today's script reading came to an end.

"Okay, director"

After everyone replied, they walked out of the conference room one after another.

Liu Yifei held her neck with one hand and moved her head left and right.

In her early years, she suffered a neck injury while filming some action scenes. Although she was cured later, some root causes of the disease were left behind.

Sitting for a long time reading the script today caused some discomfort in her cervical spine.

"Sister Yifei, will we have dinner together later and then go back?"

Gu Wei next to him invited.

Today's script reading also started in the morning. At noon, everyone had a packed lunch at the company, and continued in the afternoon. The whole day was very tiring.

After listening to Gu Wei's words, Nazha, who was sitting on the other side of him, also looked over.

Liu Yifei looked at Gu Wei, then at Nazha who was looking over here, and said with a smile:

"No, it's not very late today. Mom is still at home waiting for me to go back for dinner."

"Okay then, I'll treat you alone when I have time~"

After speaking, Liu Yifei sorted out the scripts and materials in front of her, stood up, said hello and left.

Gu Wei didn't care, he just invited casually, and it didn't matter if the other party agreed or not.

He also stood up and sent Wang Baoqiang, Xiao Pan and others away one after another.

Nazha's big eyes blinked, her face did not change at all, but she breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart.

She wore a long denim-style dress today. In order to facilitate her work, she had her hair tied into a bun. She put on beautiful makeup on her face. Her facial features were exquisite and she looked cute and glamorous at the same time.

Logically speaking, she and Liu Yifei are both top beauties.

It's unrealistic to compare them based on their appearance.

If you like her style, she is more beautiful, and if you like Liu Yifei's style, she is more beautiful.

Everyone has their own preferences for radish and greens, and aesthetics is inherently a very personal thing.

But when the exquisitely dressed woman sits down with the somewhat unkempt Liu Yifei, she always feels a little unconfident.

She obviously didn't wear much makeup, her clothes were a bit tacky, and she was wearing some ugly black-rimmed glasses.

But she always felt that the other party was like a rich lady, and she was a bit like the maid next to the lady.

And she also felt that when they were reading the script, the two of them sat on either side of Gu Wei.

At first, the crew and other actors were amazed at the beauty of the two people, and they would take a second look from time to time.

But gradually, more and more eyes were paying attention to Liu Yifei, completely surpassing her.

Saying this makes it seem like she wasn't paying attention during the day.

There is no way, when one top beauty meets another, this kind of comparison cannot be suppressed.

But what made her a little strange was that Liu Yifei only said hello to her with a smile when he came in the morning, and never paid attention to her again except for work exchanges.

This also shocked her.

Gu Wei Company is not far from Liu Yifei's home.

I came out of his company, got in the car, and arrived home not long after.

After entering, I changed my shoes at the entrance and put aside the bag containing my documents.

"Mmm~ It smells so good!

Mom, what delicious food can you give me? "

While walking inside, Liu Yifei shouted loudly.

Mother Liu, wearing a dark housecoat and an apron, came out of the kitchen and placed two plates of food on the dining table.

"You sent a message saying you were coming back for dinner, so I cooked two more of your favorite dishes."

"Mom is so nice~"

Liu Yifei came up to her mother, hugged her mother's arm, and acted coquettishly with a smile on her face.

"You're so old, and you're still acting like a spoiled brat. A big girl should be more stable!"

Liu Xiaoli was obviously very happy, but she still talked about her daughter.

"No matter how old you are, you are also your mother's daughter~"

After saying that, he sat down and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables.

Liu Xiaoli reached out and patted the back of her hand.

“Go wash your hands!

"Oh~"

Liu Yifei put down her chopsticks reluctantly and walked to the bathroom obediently.

After a while, the mother and daughter sat on both sides of the dining table and began to eat.

"It's been a busy day today, didn't Gu Wei invite you to have dinner with us tonight?

I thought you wouldn't come back to eat. "

Liu Xiaoli asked as she took a chopstick of scrambled tomatoes and eggs to her daughter.

“He invited me, but I didn’t agree.

It’s still early anyway, so it’s good to come back and eat. "

Liu Yifei picked up the spoon, took a sip of the white fungus soup beside her, and said without raising her head.

Liu Xiaoli frowned.

"[Monster Hunt] has exceeded 2 billion in box office, you know that right?"

"I know, what's wrong?"

"The total box office of movies starring Gu Weiyi has exceeded 4 billion."

"Wow, that's true.

Even if you don't tell me, I don't even feel it. The young boy who filmed "Xiu Chun Knife" with me three years ago has now achieved such high achievements. "

Liu Yifei said with some surprise.

"You, you, I know that you have known each other for more than three years.

I've told you before, get along well with each other. "

Liu Xiaoli hates the fact that iron cannot become steel.

"I get along well. We have always had a good relationship. Otherwise, could the heroine of [Tang Detective 2] find me?"

Liu Yifei said pretending to be stupid.

"You know that's not what I meant. Seriously, what do you think of Gu Wei? Is it possible to have a relationship with him?"

Although she has mentioned it to her daughter several times, her daughter has also given her an answer before.

But seeing Gu Wei's career developing better and better, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but think about how great it would be if these two people were together.

Apart from anything else, as far as she knew, the market value of the company under Gu Wei's name was at least several billion, and the profit from filming and investing in various film and television dramas was also over one billion.

Although this asset is nothing in front of the top rich, don't forget that Gu Wei is only 23 years old this year.

A true young hero.

In addition, his current development trend is getting better and better, and his voice in the entertainment industry is also getting bigger and bigger. If he and Liu Yifei form a pair, it will be of great help to his daughter in her career.

If it were anyone else, even if he was richer than Gu Wei, he wouldn't be able to afford so many resources.

"Mom~ Didn't I tell you before? We are very good friends. As for taking it further, I haven't thought about it yet."

Liu Yifei lowered her head and poked the rice in the bowl and said.

"But you are already 28. Since you have such a good relationship, why don't you try to take it a step further?"

Liu Xiaoli was a little anxious.

"What's wrong with being 28? I don't have to worry about getting married even if I'm 38. People who like me can line up from Tiananmen Square to Princess Tomb."

Liu Yifei's voice was a little higher.

"Okay~ I was wrong. There is no rush at 28. It has nothing to do with age. So do you have any worries?"

"Mom~ I understand what you mean.

To be honest, I have known Gu Wei for more than three years, and he really meets my criteria for choosing a spouse.

He is handsome, has a good figure, has a gentle temper, and is caring. He feels comfortable communicating with him.

Sometimes when I'm alone with him, I really feel a little tempted. "

Liu Yifei held her chin with one hand and looked into the air, as if she had thought of something.

"Then why are you hesitating?"

Looking at Liu Xiaoli's anxious face, Liu Yifei felt a little funny.

"Mom~ Isn't it a matter of two people to fall in love? What's the use of me agreeing to it alone?"

"What, does Gu Wei not like you?"

Liu Xiaoli was very surprised. In her heart, it was only her daughter who chose someone else. After all, everyone loved Liu Yifei, how could anyone not like her daughter?

"At least when I was with him, I didn't feel that he wanted to develop further with me.

It's totally a good friend relationship. "

"Could it be that he is shy and can't express himself in front of you? Didn't you notice?"

Liu Xiaoli guessed.

"Gu Wei is shy?

Haha, he is a bit sentimental at best, but a scumbag at worst! "

Liu Yifei said disdainfully.

"Oh? Is Gu Wei's private life very messy?"

Liu Xiaoli didn't understand this. If Gu Wei was not a good person, she would not let her daughter jump into the fire pit no matter how good the other conditions were.

"That's not true, he doesn't have an official girlfriend now, but he has many ex-girlfriends, and I know of two.

When we were filming "Xiu Chun Dao", he made a phone call in front of me. Later, we had dinner together and he never shy away from talking about it.

Given his current conditions, it is inevitable that his love fortune will be strong.

The most annoying thing is that he never hides this in front of me.

Mom, do you think he has any intention of developing further with me? "

It was okay at first, but later Liu Yifei became a little angry.

Whether I like you or not is another matter, but you don’t like me at all?

"That's it~"

Liu Xiaoli understood what her daughter said.

But in the end, she was more open-minded.

Liu's mother was originally from a wealthy family, and she had many relatives and friends who were high-ranking officials and wealthy people.

There are only a handful of men who truly have power and wealth who do not have lovers or extramarital affairs outside.

Although she very much hopes that her daughter's partner will be this kind of person, she also knows that there are too few such men.

Unless you find a son-in-law, he will be inferior to your daughter in every aspect.

But let alone her, my daughter probably wouldn't like this kind of person.

"Hey~

Mom will never tell you this again, just let nature take its course.

No matter what decision you make in the end, mom will support you! "

Liu Xiaoli said seriously.

"Hmm~

Mom, I know! "

Liu Yifei raised her head and looked into the sky, her thoughts wandering to somewhere else.

At night, Palm Springs International Apartments.

Gu Wei and Nazha were sitting on the sofa wearing couple's cartoon pajamas.

Gu Wei was sending messages on his mobile phone. He was communicating with Director Sophie on the other side of the ocean.

There is a 12 time zone difference between Beijing and New York, and it was just time to go to work there in the morning.

Nazha huddled in Gu Wei's arms and watched TV absentmindedly.

She had taken off her makeup, her skin was fair and pink, her lips were not so red, and she looked pure and cute.

After discussing something with Director Sophie, Gu Wei turned off his phone and looked down at Naza in his arms.

I found her pouting her pink little mouth with an unhappy look on her face.

He hugged her up and put a hand through the gap in her clothes, but Naza still had no reaction.

"What's wrong? Why are you angry?"

Naza turned her head and looked at Gu Wei.

"Do you think Liu Yifei is very beautiful today?"

Gu Wei was stunned.

"It's okay, hasn't she always been like that? I've known her for more than a day or two~"

He didn't understand what Nazha meant.

"If you are with Liu Yifei, can you not abandon me?"

Naza looked a little pitiful, looking at Gu Wei with her big eyes, like a puppy abandoned by its owner.

"What are you thinking? We are good friends, and yet I abandon you. What's the point?"

Gu Wei was a little dumbfounded, wondering where Naza's idea came from.

"You're fine with other people outside, I'm not worried.

But if you are with Liu Yifei, I always feel that you will not want me~"

At this time, Nazha had long regarded Gu Wei as her only support. She really couldn't imagine what would happen to her if Gu Wei abandoned her.

With her confidence in her appearance, she was not worried no matter who Gu Wei was with outside.

Flowers are flowers, as long as she has a place by Gu Wei's side.

But if the other party was Liu Yifei, she was worried that Gu Wei would give up.

Just like when she was in college, announcing her relationship to everyone around her and only being good to her girlfriend, she really wouldn't know how to deal with herself when the time comes.

"You have such a little head, you think about these useless things every day, can't you just concentrate on your work?"

As he spoke, Gu Wei flicked Naza's smooth forehead with his fingers.

"Ouch~"

He hugged her harder with both hands.

"Don't worry, I will never abandon you no matter what time~

This is my promise to you! "

Naza huddled in Gu Wei's arms, as if she wanted to melt herself into his body.

After a while, she raised her head and looked at Gu Wei.

"Love me~"

Gu Wei sighed.

It seems that words alone don’t work, actions have to follow!
