Huayu is free to do as you like

At night, in Gu Wei's room.

"Brother Baoqiang, is there something wrong?"

After a relatively gentle exercise ended, Nazha lay in Gu Wei's arms and suddenly asked.

"Why do you ask?"

"He didn't seem to be in good condition when he came over in the afternoon. It's just that we don't have a good relationship and it's not easy to ask questions."

Gu Wei didn't expect that even a person like Nazha, who was usually quite a dignified person, could find something wrong with Wang Baoqiang.

"When I came back, I had a few words with him. I might have encountered some difficulties, but he didn't elaborate."

Gu Wei hugged Naza's arm tightly.

"Don't worry too much, there are no obstacles in this world that you can't overcome.

And I told Baoqiang that if you have any questions, you can talk to me and I will help him."

"Hmm~

I hope Brother Baoqiang has nothing to do with him, he is pretty good."

Nazha hugged Gu Wei's arm that stretched out from under her neck, her smooth beautiful back pressed tightly against his chest, and closed her eyes after speaking.

The next day, after breakfast at the hotel, the main creators of "Tang Detective 2" set off to start their 24-city road show.

Everyone seemed to be in good spirits. Even Wang Baoqiang had adjusted his state because of his chat with Gu Wei last night, and he looked no different from usual.

The publicity team first went to the first-tier cities across the country, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and set up several large theaters in each city to meet with many movie fans who came after hearing the news to promote the upcoming movie.

And wherever we go, in addition to the movie press conference, there will also be screenings to give arriving movie fans a sneak peek and maximize the spread of the movie's reputation.

Nowadays, when domestic films are being promoted before their release, there has always been a big point of disagreement as to whether or not they should be screened.

Some movies have a very large scale of publicity before they are released, with all kinds of online and offline press releases overwhelming. However, if there are no on-demand screenings, it is impossible to expect any audience to see the movie until the day of release.

Most likely, this part of the movie was known to be poorly shot, and it was feared that the bad reputation would be publicized after screenings, so it was kept secret, hoping to use publicity to lure as many viewers into the movie as possible.

At the same time, there is a high probability that reviews will be controlled a few days before the movie is released, and all money is made by cheating. When the audience base of the movie reaches a certain level, as soon as word of mouth spreads, the box office will plummet.

Therefore, such a movie basically depends on the box office in the first week, which is no different from the box office trend of fan movies.

Of course, most crews who are confident in the quality of their films will screen them long in advance to spread word of mouth to the greatest extent so that more people can know about their films.

Gu Wei is very confident in "Tang Detective 2", so according to their publicity plan, the more than ten days of road shows will be promoted and screened all the way.

Starting from July 1st, the summer season of the domestic film market has slowly begun.

In the first week, Tang Yan and Zhong Hanliang's "Bounty Hunter" was ignored.

On July 8, which is also the second Friday of this month, the movie "Cold War 2", which brings together Hong Kong and Taiwan movie kings and male stars such as Aaron Kwok, Tony Leung, Eddie Peng, and Chow Yun-fat, premiered.

The first part of this movie was released in 2012. At that time, it achieved good results of 252 million, and the audience's evaluation was also very good, which was a double harvest at the box office and word of mouth.

Now that the second part is released, the audience is looking forward to it.

The film received a box office of 95.76 million on the first day of its release, then exceeded 100 million on Saturday, and dropped to 95.81 million on Sunday. A total of 298 million was received in the first three days.

Although "Chilling 2" was not a big hit, it did heat up this year's summer movie market and laid a good foundation for the films to be released next.

In the second week, the single-day box office of "Chilling 2" gradually decreased, with a total box office of 247 million in seven days and a total of 545 million in the two weeks after its release.

However, after the second week, the single-day box office of "Chilling 2" has dropped to just over 10 million. The final box office of trending movies is almost 600 million.

Mountain City, [Tang Detective 2] A group of people were sitting in the car rushing to Wanda Cinema, the largest movie theater in the city.

"Mr. Wang, I'm sorry, I've been running road shows recently and really don't have time.

Okay, when I return to the capital, I will definitely go to the appointment when Mr. Wang invites me to do so. I happen to have some film-related matters that I need to discuss with Director Tian Yusheng."

Gu Wei hung up the phone and the smile on his face quickly faded.

Liu Yifei, who was sitting opposite, looked curious.

"Is anyone looking for you to eat?"

Gu Wei turned his head to look at her and said with a smile:

"Wang Zhongjun, the boss of Huayi Brothers, invited me to attend the movie premiere two days later."

"Wang Zhongjun invited you?

I remember you never got along with them, right? "

Liu Yifei asked curiously.

“There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Everyone hangs out in the same circle. Although they are making movies, to put it bluntly, they are all a group of businessmen.

Huayi lowered its profile before and asked me to collaborate on a movie. I agreed because I thought it would be profitable, so now we can be considered partners to a certain extent. "

"You are still awesome. In the early years, I offended Huayi and they banned me in the mainland.

You had conflicts with them before, but the other party took the initiative to lower their heads and seek cooperation from you."

Liu Yifei held her chin with her hands and looked at Gu Wei with some envy.

"Times have changed. Huayi can no longer dominate domestic entertainment. If they want to earn more profits, they have to cooperate with others.

Besides, I am not just a star. In the eyes of these film and television company bosses, the boss of [Wei Ming Xia] is my true identity.

If they can get greater benefits by cooperating with me, of course they are willing to lower their "noble" heads. "

Gu Wei explained with a smile.

"What's the name of Huayi's movie?"

Liu Yifei nodded slowly after listening to Gu Wei's words, and then asked.

"I read the news online two days ago, it was called [Lu Yao knows Ma Li].

Directed by Wen Zhang, starring Bao Beier and Song Jia. "

"Wen Zhang, I didn't expect that he doesn't act, but now he becomes a director."

As a popular mainland niche, Wen Zhang’s famous name Liu Yifei is also heard.

"By the way, there is another acquaintance of yours in the movie."

"who?"

"The second male lead is Zhu Yawen. Aren't you classmates?"

Liu Yifei grinned.

"Yes, Yawen and we have a very good relationship. When I was in school, I was always out filming and couldn't keep up with my homework, so he helped me.

I even went to the wedding when he got married two years ago.”

After a while, the car drove to the underground garage of Wanda Shopping Mall.

The group of people took the elevator directly to the cinema on the top floor.

Outside the theater, fans who had been informed of the event in advance surrounded the entrance of Wanda Cinema.

However, the theater has set aside a safe passage in advance, and there are security personnel on standby on both sides to ensure that today's event can be held normally.

As soon as Gu Wei and his team showed up, the entire Wanda Mall could hear screams like mountain roars and tsunami coming from the top floor.

"Ah! Gu Wei, I love you!"

"Brother is so handsome!!"

"Liu Yifei, you are so beautiful~"

"Nazha, you are my goddess!"

"."

Gu Wei and the others smiled and greeted the fans on both sides, and were escorted into the theater by security personnel.

"call"

After entering the theater, Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest.

"Everywhere I go these days, there are so many fans around me. I'm really afraid that some of them will rush up to me regardless."

“Wanda’s security is still worthy of trust, and besides, we still have our own people in the circle.

The more fans you have, the more famous you are, Sister Yifei."

Liu Yifei gave Gu Wei a blank look after hearing this.

"Forget it, there are so many young girls out there, and you account for more than half of the fans!"

While Gu Wei and the others are working hard to promote the movie, the other two blockbuster movies to be released at the end of this month are also being promoted in full swing.

One is "Escape", released on the 21st. This film is an action comedy directed by Finnish director Renny Harlin, who has filmed "Die Hard 2", and starring Cheng Long and Fan Bingbing.

The film is produced by Cheng Long's [Yolai Film and Television] and Fan Bingbing's [Tang De Film and Television] as shareholders. The producer is also Cheng Long. It is an authentic Cheng Long-style kung fu comedy.

The other one is the fantasy blockbuster "Legend of the Gods" produced by "China Star Films" and will be released on the 29th of the month.

The film is adapted from the Chinese classical mythological novel "The Romance of the Gods" and tells the story of Jiang Ziya leading a group of capable strangers to assist King Wu in defeating Zhou during the late Shang Dynasty.

The director is Hong Kong director Xu Yin. The revealed cast of starring actors is very strong, including Li Lianlian, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, baby, Gu Tianle, Liang Jiahui, Xiang Zuo, Xu Qing, etc. It can be said that the stars are bright.

The publisher claims that the film investment is 500 million, and it is a domestically produced super-large-scale fantasy and mythological film.

These two movies, plus Gu Wei's "Tang Detective 2" released on the 28th, can be said to be the three most anticipated movies by audiences throughout the summer.

Needless to say, Cheng Long and Li Lianlian’s status in the domestic film and television circles is that they are truly international superstars.

Gu Wei is the most popular star in the new generation of domestic entertainment, and his domestic film box office performance is even higher than the previous two big names.

"Tang Detective 2" and "Legend of the Gods" were released one day apart, and "Escape" was only one week earlier than the other two, so the competition between the three movies is obvious.

As the release dates of the three movies are getting closer and closer, driven by the promotion of the three movies, the movie-watching market during the entire summer season is becoming more and more popular.

Netizens are extremely looking forward to the collision between the three.

Younger netizens believe that with Gu Wei's exaggerated box office performance in domestic entertainment in recent years and his dominant box office appeal, it is no problem to rival or even surpass the two seniors Cheng Long and Li Lianhe.

[Tang Detective 2] should win the final victory in this box office war.

Slightly older netizens don't think so. They think Cheng Long and Li Lianlian are real international superstars, and their status and box office appeal are unquestionable.

Although Gu Wei has been very popular in the past two years, he is still a rising star after all.

This time "Legend of the Gods" and "Escape" are both big-budget movies, and in the end it's still a matter of uncertainty as to who wins or who loses.

[The box office performance of the domestic movies starring Gu Wei in the past two years is much higher than that of Cheng Long and Li Lianlian. Moreover, the box office of "Tang Detective 1" has exceeded 1 billion. No matter how you watch "Tang Detective 2", you can have the last laugh. 】

[The people upstairs probably don’t know the international status of Cheng Long and Li Lianlian. They are both at the top of the domestic entertainment pyramid. How can Gu Wei, a junior, compare? 】

[You can’t look at it this way. Although they were brilliant in the past, their achievements in making movies in recent years are indeed not as good as those of Gu Wei! 】

[Support brother, brother is the best, Gu Wei is the most handsome! ! 】

[To be honest, Cheng Long has been okay in the past two years. From "Zodiac" to "Heavenly Generals", the box office results have been good. It seems that Li Lianlian has never made any big-selling movies since returning to China, right? 】

[Haha~ Does anyone still doubt the popularity and appeal of "Kung Fu Emperor"? 】

[A good man is brave not to mention his past. If his current performance is not good, he is not good. However, looking at the cast of the promotion of "Legend of the Gods", it is so explosive. In addition to Li Lianlian, there are so many top domestic entertainment stars starring together, with a huge investment of 500 million. A mythical blockbuster, I’m really looking forward to it]

[Cheng Long and Li Lianlian are not as good as Gu Wei. My brother’s films are always the best! 】
