Due to its good reputation and the help of many celebrities to promote it, the first day of filming for "The Unknown" was much better than that of the original film.

In fact, this is mainly due to the fact that there were really no films worth watching at the same time.

Movies released on the same day as "The Unknown" include "Death Clock 2:22", "Maze Runner 3: The Death Cure", "24 Hours: The End of the World", "Fifth Dimension", and "S4 Conquering the Demon" 】Waiting for a few movies.

It's either a bad Hollywood movie or a bad domestic movie.

In comparison, [The Unknown] is definitely outstanding in terms of quality.

After the show ended in the evening, Gu Wei and Liu Yifei found a nearby restaurant to have dinner, and then went to the nearest movie theater.

The assistant had booked the private room in advance, and the two of them went in directly wearing sunglasses and masks.

When walking into the theater, Gu Wei took Liu Yifei's small hand, and the other party held his big hand obediently. His face was a little red under the mask, but he didn't say anything.

"Here, your juice and popcorn." Gu Wei led the other person to the two best viewing seats in the middle of the theater, took off his mask and sunglasses after sitting down.

"OK."

"Um?

Why is your face a little red? Is it hot wearing a mask? "Gu Wei put his coat on another chair and turned to look at Liu Yifei, who also took off his mask.

"Ah, it is indeed a bit"

There has been a lot of physical contact between the two of them in recent filming, except for the kissing scene. Gu Wei is also somewhat used to these close physical contacts, and he doesn't take anything like holding hands seriously.

However, Liu Yifei, who is thoughtful and considerate, still feels a little different.

“There is no other way, let’s come out, masks, sunglasses and caps are a must.

This is also the reason why I book the theater every time I go to the movies. "

"Nothing happened. It's much better now." Liu Yifei took two deep breaths.

The movie soon started and she also turned her attention from Gu Wei to the big screen.

[Unknown Person] also has a name called [Panic Gun Walking Plank].

The film revolves around a lost old gun and tells a series of absurd stories about a pair of low-end robbers, a down-and-out security guard, and a physically disabled but strong-willed woman with a vicious tongue. These "unknown people".

"Ma Xianyong" played by Chen Jianbin is the male protagonist, but the most exciting part of the whole film is the high-level paraplegic "Ma Jiaqi" and the two stupid thieves "Hu Guangsheng" and "Li Haigen".

Like "Two Smoking Barrels" and "Crazy Stone", "The Unknown" also has a multi-linear narrative structure.

Finally, all the characters gather at the "mourning" meeting to usher in the climax and ending of the movie.

Obviously, "The Unknown" is a very high-quality movie.

When Hu Guangsheng said seriously, "I'll get the AK, you get the Laifu, make it bigger and stronger, and create greater glory!" Liu Yifei couldn't help but laugh.

When the two robbers discovered that they were robbing a bunch of mobile phone models, she couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.

However, immediately afterwards, Ma Jiaqi, a paraplegic, became incontinent and lost her most basic dignity as a human being. With the help of two stupid thieves, she watched the scene where the three of them went to the balcony to take pictures again, which brought tears to her eyes.

The 108-minute movie is not too long, and it quickly reaches the finale. The subtitles are rolling on the screen, and the song "Unknown" of the same name is also playing.

".

Who am I, unknown person?

It doesn’t matter if you forget anyone

Who hasn’t worked hard to get to the end of his life?

"

"Nuo" Gu Wei handed the tissue in his hand to Liu Yifei.

"Thank you." He wiped his red eyes and blew his nose again.

"You are right in your recommendation. This is a really good movie."

"Of course, my eyes will miss it."

"What's the name of the actress who plays Ma Jiaqi?

Well done”

"Ren Suxi is a drama actor.

Many of the actors in this movie have a background in drama. Their acting skills are very good, and they often have a certain degree of tension when portraying characters. "

As he spoke, he looked at Liu Yifei, whose eyes were red after being moved by the movie.

“I thought you wouldn’t feel this deeply.

After all, this movie is about the joys and sorrows of small people."

"In your eyes, am I so unworldly?" Liu Yifei retorted.

"Are you a fairy sister? Isn't it normal to not eat the fireworks of the world?" Gu Wei joked with a smile.

"There is a sentence in Maugham's [The Moon and Sixpence]: "I tried my best to live an ordinary life."

For ordinary people, life is really like this.

If you don't admit defeat, it will tell you - "Even if you try your best, you can only live an ordinary life"; if you are confused, it will tell you - "You must try your best to live an ordinary life." ".

This world has never been truly empathetic, especially for people who have never been on the ground, it is difficult to understand the difficulties and dilemmas of small people."

Gu Wei spoke calmly, and Liu Yifei listened carefully. In fact, she agreed with these words.

Due to her background and experience, she was very comfortable playing the gentle and lovely "Ling'er" and the otherworldly "Little Dragon Girl" when she got up early.

But some complex characters will be unable to perform due to lack of relevant experience.

"You, Mr. Gu, have never encountered any setbacks.

Judging from your family, SNSD's growing up environment is probably much better than mine. Since their debut, they have successfully reached heights that others cannot imagine.

If you don’t eat the fireworks of the world, you are the real god. How can you empathize with ordinary people? "

Liu Yifei curled her lips as she spoke.

"Besides, you are still a genius, so how do you know the difficulties faced by ordinary people like us?"

Hearing what she said, Gu Wei remembered the days in his previous life when he graduated from college and his family went bankrupt. In order to make money to pay off debts, he worked in sales, had his legs broken and his mouth bruised, and was looked down upon by others.

In order to save money, I am never willing to go to the cinema to watch movies. I even use video memberships to pay for my colleagues, or I find pirated copies online.

But I have to say that sales are really profitable if you do well. Gu Wei is willing to endure hardships and works hard enough. He is a good-looking and energetic guy. His income within a few years of graduation is far higher than that of his classmates who work in offices.

Based on the situation at the time, his family's debts had been paid off, and with the customer resources he had accumulated over the years, he would be the top seller no matter which company he went to in the same industry.

Buying a house or a car in the next few years and joining the middle class in a big city will not be a problem.

"You say I'm a genius, so it's not a problem to do this." Gu Wei smiled and patted Liu Yifei's head.

"Don't pat my head

I feel like you are getting more and more presumptuous now. It turned out that Sister Yifei was more respectful to me when I called her, but later I called her Sissi when I was having dinner. This time during the filming, I stopped pretending at all, right?"

"Uh, no, doesn't this mean we have a good relationship?

I used to respect people with my mouth, but now I respect my heart in my heart." Gu Wei smiled and scratched his head.

"Hmph. You always have an excuse."

On the first day of its release on Friday, January 26, "The Unknown" achieved a box office of 38.64 million with 18% of the national film schedule. Surprisingly, this box office actually ranked second in the national box office on that day.

The Hollywood blockbuster "Maze Runner: The Death Cure" took 29% of the film schedule and won 51.6 million at the first-day box office, becoming the champion of the day. However, the attendance rate of this movie is far less than that of "The Unknown Man", and its reputation is quite good. not good.

The Indian movie on its 8th day of release, Aamir Khan's "Mysterious Superstar", ranked third with 30.5 million.

Several other first-day movies did poorly at the box office.

The comedy "S4 Heroes Conquer the Demons" starring Liu Xiaoguang (played by Zhao Si) and Wensong only had a box office of 710,000 on the first day of release, so it was rushed to grandma's house.

In the next two days, the reputation of "The Unknown" gradually spread, and the box office on Saturday and Sunday reversed the decline, with 45.62 million and 58.95 million respectively, becoming the national box office champion on the two weekends.

The total box office in the first week was 143 million, and it was overwhelmingly popular in terms of reputation, far ahead of other movies released in the same period.

Nearly 100,000 people on Douban gave this movie a high score of 8.4.

You must know that on Douban, it is not easy for domestic films to get high scores. Those that can score 8 points are truly good films.

[Exceeds expectations, the director is so bad, he makes people laugh first and then cry. Just when you think it is just a comedy, the curtain suddenly opens to reveal the painful reality of the little people. 】

[This year’s best domestic comedy is not in the running. Multi-line narrative is still a test of the director, screenwriter’s skills and actor’s performance. Fortunately, the completion of the film is very good. Ren Suxi and Zhang Yu are so awesome. Highly recommended! 】

[I went to see the movie because of Gu Wei's recommendation. The result was really, really surprising. I'm now looking forward to the Spring Festival release of "Nezha".

Gu Wei's second animated film as a producer, hopefully the second "The Return of the Great Sage"! 】

[The strange thing about this movie is that during the photo shoot, some people in the cinema were laughing and some were crying, and I was the latter.]

In the blink of an eye, February came. With the support of good word of mouth, "The Unknown" continued to gain momentum in its second week of release. Although its daily box office performance was not comparable to some of the best-selling movies, it was better than steady. From time to time, it was better. It will also go down.

On the evening of February 2, Gu Wei’s flight flew across the Pacific and landed at the Minneapolis International Airport in Minnesota, USA.

Minneapolis is the largest city in Minnesota in the United States. It is located in the southeastern part of the state, across the Mississippi River, with beautiful environment and strategic location.

It's just that Minnesota, among the 50 states in the United States, is a relatively sparsely populated and economically backward area.

According to statistics in 2006, Minnesota's total population was only over 5.12 million, less than one-sixtieth of the total population in the United States.

Minneapolis, the so-called largest city, is also a small and medium-sized city in the United States.

Since this year's Super Bowl is being held here, various hotels and other accommodation places in the city are already overcrowded, filled with spectators from all over the United States coming here to watch the game.

"The organizer has already arranged a hotel for us to stay at. It is a Four Seasons Hotel not far from the "Metro Dome" stadium.

This will be much more convenient whether performing or watching games.

In addition, there are also tickets for the "Super Bowl" game the day after tomorrow. After tomorrow's performance, you can watch the game live the day after tomorrow."

Night had fallen outside. Gu Wei came out of the airport and got into the car heading to the hotel.

The "Urban Dome" that Yang Dan calls is the venue for this Super Bowl. It was only built in 2016 and can accommodate 70,000 people to watch the game live. It was the former home of the Minnesota Vikings.

“Now that I’m here, there’s no need to be anxious, and I don’t care if it’s one more day or one day less.

There will be a performance tomorrow and a game the day after tomorrow, so naturally I have to watch the game before leaving."

"I understand, boss, should we leave on the evening of the 4th or the morning of the 5th?"

"Let's go on the 5th. The game will be played at 3:30 in the afternoon. It will last for 4 hours. It will be almost 8 o'clock by the time it ends."

"Okay, I'll confirm the route with the airline later."

Gu Wei's private jet means he doesn't need to buy a ticket to go anywhere, but he needs to negotiate the route with the airline in advance.

To be honest, this was more troublesome than buying a ticket, but with his subordinates handling it, Gu Wei didn't have to worry about it.

And the comfort is unmatched by the first class cabin of ordinary airliners.

Just like this flight to the United States, which lasted more than 10 hours, Gu Wei got a good night's sleep and handled some work matters on the plane. He didn't feel too tired.
