On the first weekend of New Year’s Day, [Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi] was released.

It seems that it will overwhelmingly crush all other films, but the film schedule of [Ex 3: Goodbye Ex] is still as high as 31.3%, and the box office has not been affected at all.

During the two-day weekend of the 6th and 7th, [The Ex 3] grossed more than 300 million yuan in box office, and the total box office exceeded 1.4 billion yuan.

However, on Monday of the third week on the 8th, the movie's single-day box office finally dropped to less than 100 million.

[It will be 1.5 billion soon! Isn’t it possible that humans can’t stop “The Ex 3: Goodbye Ex” from continuing to explode at the box office? 】

[Watching "Exes 3" again, there was another large group of people crying in the cinema. In the movie I watched, some people did leave because they were bored, but most of them cried. A couple of my friends who were a couple even cried because they were together. After watching this movie, I actually broke up. 】

[It’s really not that “Ex 3” is toxic, but how many relationships have the post-95s generation had? 】

[The success of "Exes 3" depends entirely on how unforgettable the love of the post-95s generation across the country is. This is a serious blow to the vast number of singles across the country like me. 】

【.】

The box office trend of "The Ex 3" has slowed down a bit in its third week of release, but it has not stopped it from becoming the first blockbuster movie at the beginning of 2018.

Maoyan's box office forecast has been changed again and again, and it is now 2.2 billion yuan.

It can be seen from the data of multiple platforms such as Tengxun Index, Baidu Index, Maoyan and Taopiaopiao that the highest proportion of the audience of [Predecessor 3] is 20-24 years old, accounting for an average of 40% of the total number of each platform. Therefore, those born in 1995 or even after 2000 are the main contributors to the box office of this movie.

In fact, "Youth" and "The Ex 3" released last month are very similar.

A story about youth in the 1980s and 1990s brought a large number of audiences who were no longer young into the theater to appreciate their "youth" with director Feng Xiaogang.

"Non-mainstream audiences" born in the 1950s and 1960s have become an unexpected factor triggering the box office rise of "Youth".

The two movies target different audiences, but the same heart-warming stories that resonate with the audience are the key to their respective successes.

"Cohabitation in Time and Space" was filmed in the Wukang Building on Taojiang Road in Shanghai.

This building is quite old, and the surrounding environment is more in line with the 1990s style where the male protagonist Lu Ming lives.

Of course, this is an exterior scene, and the crew needs to build the interior scenes themselves.

In fact, it is very simple. It is the house in the movie where the hero and heroine are overlapped by the turbulence of time and space. Half of it is the style of 1999 and the other half is the style of 2018.

On the morning of the 8th, the crew of "Cohabitation in Time and Space" officially launched in Shanghai.

Xu Zheng showed up with director Su Lun, Gu Wei, Liu Yifei and other film creators.

"Sister Yifei, you look like you're not in a good mood." There were a lot of people at the scene. Gu Wei was wearing a 1999 retro outfit, a yellow and white plaid shirt on the upper body, light blue jeans on the lower body, blue canvas shoes, and even his hair was combed Into a more old-fashioned style.

In fact, Gu Wei's performance as Lu Ming is really better than that of Lei Jiayin in the original version, not just in terms of acting, but in terms of appearance.

It is written in the script that Lu Ming was born in 1974, his zodiac sign is Tiger, and he was 25 years old in 1999, and Gu Xiaojiao was born in 1987, and he is 31 years old in 2018.

The original Tong Liya said that 31 years old is not bad, but because of Lei Jia's appearance, his small eyes are full of wrinkles when he smiles, and he doesn't look like a 25-year-old frustrated young man.

There is no difference between Lu Ming in 1999 and Lu Shiyi in 2018. Standing next to Tong Liya, he is obviously much older than her.

Now these two roles are played by Gu Wei and Liu Yifei. Needless to say, Gu Wei is just the right age. He just needs to look more mature when playing Lu Shiyi.

Liu Yifei was born in 1987, which matches Gu Xiaojiao's age perfectly.

"I knew you would laugh at me if I met you again.

I lost to you. If you have any requests, feel free to ask for them, as long as I can fulfill them."

Liu Yifei wears a fashionable and trendy look, with a white shirt, a denim-style skirt, two long and straight white legs, and a pair of black high heels.

But there wasn't much of a smile on her face. Looking at Gu Wei who was smiling, she rolled her eyes.

"Don't roll your eyes. Rolling your eyes always reminds me of another person."

"who?"

"Ahem. Even if you tell me, you don't recognize me." Of course it was someone who later became known as Xiao Liu Yifei.

"I didn't say anything. Besides, our movie hasn't been released yet?"

"[The Ex 3] has already exceeded 1.5 billion in box office, and [Second Generation Fairy] is currently only over 200 million. There is no comparison, and the gap will only get wider.

In the end, there may be a difference of 2 billion.

I am willing to admit defeat." He said with a pair of beautiful big eyes looking at Gu Wei pitifully.

Gu Wei looked Liu Yifei up and down and showed a malicious smile.

"Hey~ you can't think of bad things. You have to choose what I can do. Don't go too far."

"It's a waste of all these years of friendship between us, who do you think I am.

My character is guaranteed, okay?"

Gu Wei was speechless, then muttered softly.

"I want you to call me daddy but I don't agree."

"What did you say?"

"No, I didn't think of making any request at the moment. I'll just owe it to you. I'll tell you when I think of it."

"What are you talking about? You are so happy. I just heard something about winning and losing."

Xu Zheng, who had just been standing nearby talking to the staff, came over. He was dressed very casually, with a white shirt and black trousers, and a domed hat on his head to cover his bald head.

"When we met last month, we made a bet. There happened to be a movie released on New Year's Day, and we bet on who would have the most box office?" Gu Wei explained.

"Wow, Yifei, you actually dare to compete with Gu Wei at the box office. Most people in this circle of courage don't have this courage."

After hearing this, Xu Zheng looked at Liu Yifei with wide eyes.

"No, what was said at the time was that his film had to be worth a billion dollars more than mine to be considered a winner, but you saw it too."

"Haha, movie box office is so unpredictable that it is difficult for individuals to control it."

Xu Zheng could still speak and comforted Liu Yifei.

After all, she is his heroine, so she cannot be said to be overestimating her abilities, although that is the case.

"You two are in pretty good shape right now."

Xu Zheng looked at Gu Wei and Liu Yifei and said.

"What's good?" Liu Yifei was a little confused.

“There is no sense of strangers to each other, and the communication is very casual, like a couple.

Ours is a romantic comedy after all, so it’s very important for the male and female protagonists to have a sense of connection.”

After hearing this, Liu Yifei's mouth turned up slightly and she didn't say anything.

"My first movie was with Yifei. She was the first big star I met. She has been an old friend for so many years. Of course it's casual." Gu Wei shrugged.

It’s not like I’ve never acted as a couple before, so there’s still no shortage of CP.

The three of them chatted for a few more words. It was almost time and the power-on ceremony began.

Although Su Lun is the director, Xu Zheng is in charge of the overall situation, and he basically has the final say on everything on set.

The renewed collaboration between Gu Wei and Liu Yifei obviously attracted a lot of media attention, and many reporters came to the scene.

"We want to make a fantasy comedy film with the intersection of time and space as the main line, and the core value of this film is also very interesting, which is "If you had the opportunity to choose your life again, what would you choose?"

The producer Xu Zheng also spoke during the interview.

".I was able to accept this film because the film itself is a funny story with laughter and tears."

"After I got the script, I was moved by the story. In addition, Director Xu said that the male protagonist was Gu Wei, so of course I took it without hesitation."

Reporters at the scene asked the two protagonists why they accepted the film.

"Gu Wei and Liu Yifei are the two actors we think are most suitable for the roles. Regardless of age, image, temperament, acting skills, etc., they are the perfect choices for Lu Ming and Gu Xiaojiao!"

Xu Zheng praised the two of them.

The opening ceremony ended and filming officially began.

The shooting task on the first day was also very simple, one outdoor scene and one indoor scene.

After Lu Ming and Gu Xiaojiao unexpectedly lived together because of overlapping time and space, Lu Ming took Gu Xiaojiao to the year 1999 and saw Gu Xiaojiao's original home, his living father and himself as a child.

But the future self and the present self cannot be too close, otherwise the space will be unstable and everything will tremble.

After the two of them went on a trip, Gu Xiaojiao returned home somewhat disinterested.

The first day's scenes were relatively simple, mainly polishing the lenses.

The cooperation between Gu Wei and Liu Yifei is absolutely fine, but not only them, but the entire crew needs to get along.

"How was your performance just now?"

"Who is it?"

"Nonsense, of course it's me. This scene is just between us. How can I ask you how your performance was?"

It took a whole morning to finish filming the outdoor scene. It was actually very simple. The two of them got on the bus and then arrived at Gu Xiaojiao's original home.

After entering the small courtyard, she found that she couldn't get close. Gu Wei helped her out, and then the two of them held on to the railing outside and said a few words.

“Not bad, even though it was the first day, I passed the test in terms of expressions, emotions, and lines.

The director is watching, and if the filming is not good, it will not pass."

For Gu Wei, the role of young Lu Ming is somewhat similar to Song Tianyin, whom he played in "Monster Hunt".

He is not the handsome, cold, skilled, and highly intelligent character in other movies, but a somewhat naive character with a certain comedic effect.

"but."

"But what?"

"Today's play is relatively simple, without much emotional expression, and sad emotions are easier to act.

But for the subsequent shooting, I suggest you find a way to put your stand down and not hold it too high. "

"What air do I have?"

Liu Yifei was puzzled.

"The airs of a beautiful woman, when you come to this station, you will feel that you are born well, look good and are very superior.

The heroine Gu Xiaojiao comes from a poor family. Although she was born well and beautiful when she was a child, she did not grow up in a good environment after her father died.

So she is realistic, philistine, and has some cunningness of a little woman.

Of course, these are external manifestations, but the core is still longing for family affection and being kind and beautiful. "

Liu Yifei nodded thoughtfully while listening to Gu Wei's analysis. After getting the script, she also thought about how to play this role, but there was still a certain distance between thinking and doing it.

"I will work hard!" She raised her head to cheer herself up, and then looked at Gu Wei with a smile.

"You have to help me too!"
