Huayu is free to do as you like

It was already evening when he left Deng Chao's house, and Gu Wei took the car back to Palm Springs International Apartment.

Nazha was still waiting quietly at home like a little daughter-in-law.

"You smell like alcohol. You drank a lot today, right?"

"It's okay. I drank a little with Brother Chao. He is no match for him." Gu Wei told Nazha that he was going to visit Deng Chao's house today.

"Aren't his two children cute?" Nazha asked curiously. When she went to Weibo, she would always see Deng Chao and Sun Li showing off their babies, a family of four enjoying themselves happily.

"I didn't see it. It said it was at my grandpa's house in Shanghai, not here in the capital." Sun Li was born and raised in Shanghai. When the couple was busy with work, their children would be taken care of by grandma and grandpa. Deng Chao and the others also had children in Shanghai. Own residence.

"Guess who I saw at his house today?"

"Who?

Didn't you say before that Chen He and Lu Han were also going? There were others besides you? "

"Guan Xiaotong is also at Deng Chao's house today." Gu Wei said with a smile.

"Guan Xiaotong?

Is she familiar with Deng Chao, or is she on good terms with Sun Li? I haven’t heard of it." Nazha was also a little surprised.

"No, she was brought here by Lu Han."

“Luhan?

He and Guan Xiaotong." Nazha and Lu Han have worked together on "The Legend of the Destiny", and with Gu Wei's relationship, they can be considered good friends.

But she had never heard that Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong knew each other.

"Xiaotong is Lu Han's official girlfriend now. It seems that she is in love."

"real?

When did it happen, there is no sign at all." Nazha's gossip heart was aroused by this news.

“It won’t take long, only two or three months.

In the first half of the year, I was approached by a script called "Sweet Crit", but I didn't have the schedule and wasn't interested in the plot, so I turned it down.

Later, the crew found Xiao Lu to play the male lead and Guan Xiaotong to play the female lead. The two fell in love because of the show, and now they are officially together.

It sounds like Lu Han wants to officially announce their relationship to the outside world."

“This news is so explosive, if it is announced, it will definitely go straight to the top of the hot search!

Lu Han is now in the golden period of career advancement. Will he officially announce his relationship at this time? "

Nazha expressed doubts about this.

There are many male and female stars in the entertainment industry who are in love, and many of them have to be officially announced after being captured by paparazzi.

Some fans didn't know that they had talked until after they broke up.

"Who knows, Lu Han's attitude is thoughtful." Gu Wei shrugged.

"Haha, according to you, you can be considered their matchmaker. If you had accepted the script, the relationship between them would not be the same as it is now." Naza's eyes widened as she suddenly thought.

Gu Wei touched his chin.

"You're right, I have to tell Xiaolu to treat him later.

You have to thank me for being the "matchmaker"."

"Thank you for not taking the role?"

Naza covered her mouth and laughed.

"By the way, Director Da Peng said today that he wants to invite you to attend the premiere of [Sewing Machine Band]. Do you have time?"

"What's the date?"

"No. 26."

"I'm afraid not. At that time, [Do You Know] had just started filming, and it was hard for me to ask for leave as soon as I joined the team." Gu Wei said with some regret.

"Okay, I'll tell Director Dapeng later." Nazha knew about the launch of Gu Wei's new drama, and knew that he probably wouldn't be able to come, but since Dapeng mentioned it, she always wanted to bring it up.

"I've put in the hot water. You can go take a bath. It'll help you get rid of the smell of alcohol."

Gu Wei smiled and hugged Naza's slim waist.

"What are you doing? Stop making trouble and go take a shower."

"The bathtub is big enough anyway, why don't we come together?" He said, picking up Naza in a princess hug, and then walked to the bathroom.

The next day, in the small screening room of the [Wei Tianxia] company, as the ending song played, the subtitles began to roll and the lights turned on.

"Congratulations to Director Rao, the movie is very exciting," Gu Wei said to Rao Xiaozhi beside him with a smile and applause.

At the same time, other executives from [Wei Tianxia] in the screening room also applauded.

After nearly 4 months of post-production, Rao Xiaozhi's "The Unknown" is finally completed.

"Thank you, thank you Mr. Gu." Rao Xiaozhi was very excited. It felt great to be recognized for the work he had worked so hard on.

"Lao Rao, it's okay. Your filming is really good." Wen Mu also smiled and patted Rao Xiaozhi on the shoulder.

"It seems you didn't brag to me before."

"Nonsense, when have I ever boasted?" Rao Xiaozhi retorted with a smile.

"Director, how was the later stage of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" going?

You and Director Rao started shooting at almost the same time, but all the other films were released," Gu Wei asked with a smile.

"Well, the first cut has just been completed. It will probably take another two months. It will be almost ready before the end of the year." Wen Mu also thought for a moment and gave Gu Wei some time.

"There's no need to rush, work slowly and carefully, quality is the most important." Gu Wei was also afraid that Wen Mu would also see the pressure on Yao Xiaozhi to complete the film, so he comforted him.

"I understand, Mr. Gu!"

"Director Rao, do you have any ideas about the release of the movie?" Gu Wei turned to Rao Xiaozhi again.

“I’m a director, so I’m good at filming, but I don’t know anything about publicity.

Follow the company’s arrangements.”

Gu Wei took a domestic movie schedule from the eleventh slot to next year's Spring Festival schedule from his assistant, and thought about it for a while.

Until February next year, there are still three good slots: the eleventh stall, the Lunar New Year stall, and the Spring Festival stall.

The eleventh gear is definitely too late.

[The Unknown] is not a big production, and it doesn’t have any big stars with special box office appeal, so it probably won’t be able to squeeze into the Spring Festival slot.

If you don’t want to wait until next year’s May Day or summer season, it’s best to release it in the Lunar New Year season three months later.

"What do you think of this year's Lunar New Year holiday?"

"Mr. Gu, the Lunar New Year period is also one of the most fiercely competitive periods of the year. Can [Unknown Person] do it?" Yao Xiaozhi was still a little worried.

Last year, his first solo feature film "Hello, Madman" failed at the box office after its release. The production cost was 15 million, and the promotion and distribution spent 15 million. The box office was only 15.66 million. This greatly affected Rao Xiaozhi's self-confidence. .

Although he feels that this time "The Unknown" is better in quality than the previous movie, he still has no idea how much box office it will get in the end.

“Although there are many excellent movies released in the Lunar New Year period and the competition is fierce, its cycle is much longer than the Eleventh and Spring Festival periods.

From the beginning of December to just before the Spring Festival, it lasts two and a half months, with a New Year's Day period in between.

As long as you avoid those blockbusters, with the quality of "The Unknown", it's not difficult to get good results if the publicity is good. "Gu Wei explained, then looked at the other movies on the schedule and frowned slightly.

‘In December, there will be [Qi Men Dun Jia] starring Da Peng and Ni Ni, Chen Kaige’s [Cat Demon Legend], Cheng Long’s [Blood of the Machine] and Deng Chao’s [Psychological Crime: City Lights].

On New Year's Day, "The Ex 3" starring him will be released, as well as Liu Yifei's "The Second Generation Fairy: Lucky in This Life", Reba's "The Worry-Free Grocery Store", and the Hollywood blockbuster "Star Wars Episode 8".

Then there’s [Wuwen Xidong] in January and India’s Aamir Khan’s [Mysterious Superstar].

It seems that only a few Hollywood action movies were released during the period from the end of January to the beginning of February, and Gu Wei remembers that the box office was not very good...'

"Director Rao, the company will study the issue of scheduling in detail and finally choose a suitable time." Although he had made a decision in his heart, Gu Wei did not say it outright right away. He would go back and confirm with China Film Group for other movies. It’s never too late to decide on the scheduled time.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Gu. I will definitely cooperate with the publicity activities arranged by the company."

Gu Wei smiled.

"Director Rao has been busy for so long, so he can take some rest first.

If you want to prepare a new movie, the company's copyright library has many well-known IPs to choose from.

Or if you have your own ideas, you can ask someone from the screenwriting department to write the script."

Since last year's Lunar New Year holiday when it tried to release "Love Saint", "Wei Ming Xia" has the ability to independently distribute movies.

For example, this year's "Take My Brother Away" was jointly released by "Wei Ming Xia" and "China Film".

[Wei Ming Xia] also contributed to the announcement of [Wolf Warrior 2].

Logically speaking, [Unknown Person] company can also publish independently like [Love Saint].

However, after thinking about it, Gu Wei decided to take [China Film] together.

Currently, [Wei Tianxia]’s main publicity resources are concentrated online, lacking departmental resources and offline promotion teams.

Although the cost of last year's "Love Saint" was not high, it was a comedy that was easy to sell.

Xiao Yang is well-known, and he is also supported by comedy stars such as Xiao Shenyang, Qiao Shan, and Allen, plus Gu Wei's affectionate guest appearance.

The movie itself has its own traffic, and theaters are also optimistic about it and give it a higher schedule.

So even if [Wei Tianxia] is released independently, the final box office is still very good.

[The unknown person] is not so lucky.

Although the starring Chen Jianbin is famous and has acting skills, he has no box office appeal. No one will go to the cinema because of his starring role.

The other leading actors, Ren Suxi and Zhang Yu, are just like the name of the movie, they are unknowns at this time.

Without a strong ally, Gu Wei is really afraid that this good film will be buried.

This is not an exaggeration at all. We are now in an era where the smell of wine is as good as the dark alleys. Whether a movie is successful or not depends on whether it is well publicized or not.

After communicating with China Film, Gu Wei confirmed that at the end of January 2018, one week after the release of "Mysterious Superstar" on Friday, there will be "24 Hours: The End of the World", "Maze Runner 3: The Death Cure", and "Death Clock 2". :22】Three Hollywood movies were released.

So we arranged for [The Unknown] to be scheduled for this day.

It seems that among these three films, only "Maze Runner 3: The Death Cure" has a decent box office, and the remaining two are not as good as many domestic films. "Unknown" can have a relaxed box office environment in the Lunar New Year period, and its final results are also okay. Better.
