Huayu is free to do as you like

In an abandoned factory building in a mountain city, the sun shines in through the broken windows, and the ground is covered with all kinds of garbage.

Gu Wei, who had already shaved his head, pressed Zhang Zifeng, who had the same hairstyle, under him, grabbed her shoulders and shouted.

"Chen Nian!"

At this time, Chen Nian has accidentally killed Wei Lai, and Xiao Bei, played by Gu Wei, plans to take the blame for her.

"Look at me, do you see clearly?

I am nothing, no brains, no money, and no future! "

Gu Wei frowned and stared at Zhang Zifeng, his eyes red.

"But I like someone, and I want to give her the best ending."

Zhang Zifeng looked at him, his eyes full of stubbornness.

"I won't leave you"

"I'm not yet a minor, so I won't be sentenced for too long. I'll be released when you graduate from college."

"Anyway, I just won't leave." Zhang Zifeng looked at Gu Wei, tears falling from the corners of his eyes.

"As long as you win, I won't lose."

"Ka! Yes, passed!" The director's voice came from the speaker, and this short scene played over and over again.

"It's really good. This little girl Zifeng is not very old, but her acting skills are so mature. Gu Wei really didn't recommend the wrong person." Xu Yuezhen looked at the performance of the two leading actors in the camera behind the monitor and praised them.

"It is indeed very good. Her skills are a little rough, but the girl is extremely talented and has a very deep understanding of the role, and she can get into it quickly." Zeng Guoxiang is also very satisfied with Zhang Zifeng. The new heroine performed well and the filming of the film went smoothly. , the matter of changing roles is a thing of the past for him.

“The recent movie [I Am Not the God of Medicine] produced by Gu Corporation has been very popular and has gained good reviews at the box office and word of mouth. I went to see it two days ago. It is really a good movie.

It is also a realistic drama film that reflects some social issues in medicine."

"Sister Xu, do you still have time to watch a movie?"

Xu Yuezhen smiled.

"I'm not a director either, I'm not as busy as you.

And we are all in the movie business, so if a good work is released, we must check its quality."

Her words aroused Zeng Guoxiang's curiosity.

"I know [I'm Not the God of Medicine] Huo. This movie is a hot search on the Internet these days. Is it really as good as everyone says?"

“I can only say that it is a rare and good film among domestic films.

The most rare thing is that this movie is actually a realistic drama with a literary emphasis. Director Wen Mu also used a more commercial approach to shoot it, which made the movie very popular in the market and the box office continued to rise.

In the past few days, it seems that the box office has reached 2 billion.

It is generally accepted that domestic literary and artistic films do not do well at the box office. Even if they win many awards and have high ratings, they will never make a mark at the box office. Now [I Am Not the God of Medicine] has broken this rule."

Zeng Guoxiang thought for a while.

"It's a pity that I don't have time now. I will study this movie carefully when I have free time."

On the set, after the director shouted "Ka", Gu Wei stood up from Zhang Zifeng, stretched out his hand to pull her up, and praised with a smile:

"The acting is really good. Over and over again, my acting skills become more and more proficient."

Zhang Zifeng sniffed and broke away from the emotion just now.

"Brother Wei, you did a good job of leading me. You just brought me into the play all at once."

"Haha, not bad. He is getting more and more mature and knows how to flatter." Gu Wei touched Zhang Zifeng's head.

"No way, I'm serious~"

"Okay, okay, for your praise, I'll treat you to something delicious after the show tonight."

After Gu Wei finished speaking, Zhang Zifeng smiled happily, and then thought of something.

"Do you want to take Sister Zhou with you?"

"Yo~

I didn’t expect you two to have a good relationship. Can you still think of her while eating delicious food?

She is Wei Lai who bullies you."

"I was a junior in the team, and Sister Zhou has always taken good care of me. She is beautiful and has a good personality. She would not stop apologizing to me every time we were in the same frame.

To be honest, it’s quite difficult for her to play such a villainous role.”

“As for acting, it’s easy to play a character with a similar personality to your own, but it’s better to see your acting skills when you play someone who is the opposite.

This role is also a challenge for Zhou.

So far she is doing well."

Gu Wei glanced at Zhang Zifeng.

"Don't worry, I won't forget her. She has been entertaining me before you came. Of course I can't forget her when I treat her."

In the evening, after having dinner with Zhang Zifeng and Zhou Ming, Gu Wei returned to the crew hotel.

"Boss, Director Xu Zheng asked you when he would be free. He plans to hold a celebration banquet in the capital."

Yang Dan was in Gu Wei's room, communicating with him and reporting some work matters.

"In the blink of an eye, [Cohabitation in Time and Space] has been released. How much is the final box office?"

After the movie box office exceeded 2 billion, Gu Wei no longer cared about it. Later, the box office dropped too seriously, with only a few million in a single day. In addition, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was released, and all his attention shifted to this company. On films produced solely by foreign investors.

"As of the 14th of this month, [Cohabitation in Time and Space] has been in theaters for 30 days and has grossed a total of 2.187 billion yuan at the box office."

"Not bad, really good." Gu Wei couldn't help but clapped his hands.

He remembered that the original version of Lei Datou and Tong Liya seemed to have taken more than 900 million at the box office, which was already considered a big hit.

The box office performance of this version with him and Liu Yifei more than doubled.

But it's not surprising. For the same story, the combination of him and Liu Yifei is of course far more attractive than Lei Jiain and Tong Liya.

Although Yaya is also very beautiful, when she is in love with Lei Jiain, whether it is her image or age, she always has a sense of déjà vu in a middle-aged romance movie.

According to the current box office results, [Wei Tianxia], as an investor and promoter, will have a net profit of approximately 230 million yuan.

Xu Zheng’s [Zhen Le Dao] and [Enlight Media] have similar profits.

"Do I have any plans to return to the capital before the end of the month?"

Yang Dan thought for a while.

"On the 28th, L'Oreal has an offline event that requires your attendance, and it will be held in Beijing.

[Esquire] would like to invite you to be their cover star next month, but I haven’t given them a reply yet.”

"Then tell Director Xu to set the time around the 28th, and [Esquire] can also agree to it, and just go back and shoot it."

Gu Wei thought about the arrangement for a while and said.

"clear."

While Gu Wei was filming in the Shancheng crew, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was reaping the box office in an exaggerated manner. The trend was reminiscent of last year's summer movie "Wolf Warrior 2".

Two weeks after the movie was released, the box office quickly exceeded 2.5 billion yuan.

Even on the second Friday of the second week, the movie "The Evil Is Not Suppressing the Good" directed by Jiang Wen was released, but it still failed to dislodge "I'm Not the God of Medicine" from the single-day box office champion.

Speaking of Jiang Wenlai, everyone's first impression is that he is an awesome actor, a powerful director, and extremely talented.

Especially after the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" that he directed and starred in became a hit, he was almost promoted to a god.

But it is a pity that after "Let the Bullets Fly", Jiang Wen, who had no shortage of investment, could not make another movie as popular as "Let the Bullets Fly".

Jiang Wen's talent is certainly undeniable, but his desire for self-expression is too strong.

I always want to make some artistic and high-end films, but most of the time I ignore the issue of the audience.

After "Let the Bullets Fly", "One Step Away" and the currently released film "The Righteous One" are all movies of this type.

The movie is definitely not a bad movie in the traditional sense, but both the story itself and the way it is told have fallen out of touch with the masses, and most of the viewers who entered the cinema felt lonely watching it.

"The Evil Is Not Suppressing the Righteous" took in a box office of RMB 300 million in its first week of release, which is completely incomparable to "I'm Not the God of Medicine" which made RMB 1.2 billion in its first week.

The reputation of his movie is also divided into two levels. Some people like to say that this is a typical Jiang Wen-style movie, with metaphors everywhere, and you can't just look at the superficial plot.

Netizens who didn't like it complained: "I can't understand the humor, I can't understand Jiang Wen's humor!"

[This is probably one of Jiang Wen's films that is straightforward and mediocre. What belongs to the director's personal bad taste has become a double-edged sword. Sometimes it is a flash of inspiration, sometimes it is embarrassing and boring. 】

[A parkour film from the Republic of China. The selling point is Peng Yuyan’s muscles. The acting was particularly awkward. Jiang Wen really ran out of talent. 】

[Am I watching "The Righteous One"? I thought I was watching "Eddie Peng Looking for Dad".]

[Neither Peng Yuyan’s butt nor Xu Qing’s butt successfully kept my butt on the theater seat! 】

Affected by word-of-mouth, the single-day box office of "The Righteous One", which failed to become popular, dropped to 37.62 million yuan in its second week. However, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" in its third week of release still grossed 57.41 million yuan on weekdays. score.

On July 27, the box office of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", which was released for 22 days, exceeded 3 billion yuan.

On the private plane back to Beijing, Gu Wei gently swiped the tablet in his hand and flipped through some recent hot news on the Internet.

Nearly half of the summer vacation has passed, and the most popular movie in the movie market is definitely "I'm Not the God of Medicine", which was released at the beginning of the month.

In addition, a costume TV series exclusively broadcast by iQiyi has also become popular.

Since its launch on July 19, the number of views has increased rapidly. It exceeded 100 million on the day of the premiere, 200 million in three days, and 700 million in five days. As of the 27th, eight days after the TV series was released, the number of views on the entire network has exceeded 1 billion.

Not only the broadcast volume, but also the discussion among viewers is very high, and there are constant hot searches about the TV series on the Internet.

Judging from the situation, this costume palace drama "Story of Yanxi Palace" starring Wu Jinyan, Nie Yuan, Qin Lan, and She Shiman is expected to become the first big hit costume drama in 2018.

Before "Story of Yanxi Palace", there were also many costume dramas released in the summer. Among them, "The Legend of Yun Xi" starring Four Thousand Years and Yang Zi's "Legend of the White Snake" both performed well and are relatively popular dramas. But it can't be said to be explosive.

In terms of broadcast performance and discussion in all aspects, it is still far behind those costume dramas that explode every year.

Since the beginning of this year, the only one that can be called the king of hit dramas is "Dear Beloved" by Gu Wei and Yang Zi at the beginning of the year.

Originally, all parties were optimistic that "The Legend of Ba Qing" would become another hit movie after "Dear and Beloved".

Fan Ye is still very good in the field of TV dramas. He was also the king of dramas in "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang" back then.

Unfortunately, as soon as the Yin Yang contract came out, this large-scale costume production with a rumored investment of 580 million could only be postponed indefinitely.

In the afternoon, the celebration banquet of [Overtime Cohabitation] was held in the banquet hall of the Kempinski Hotel in Beijing.

"Director Xu, Mr. Wang, I'm sorry you're a little late. I came over as soon as the plane landed."

"It's just the right time. Thank you so much, Mr. Gu, for coming all the way back."

Wang Changtian smiled and reached out his hand enthusiastically after seeing Gu Wei.

"Yes, it's neither too late nor too late. The celebration banquet won't start until Mr. Gu." Xu Zheng also agreed.

"Director Su, congratulations on your first movie, which sold a box office of 2.1 billion. You became famous in one battle. The domestic film and television industry has added a talented female director!"

After exchanging pleasantries with Xu Zheng and Wang Changtian, Gu Wei congratulated Director Su Lun on the table.

“This is all a coincidence, and I rely solely on everyone’s support, so it’s nothing.

I know in my heart that my director level is still far behind those well-known directors." Su Lun waved her hands modestly, she was very self-aware.

She knows that the success of "Cohabitation in Time and Space" is not her own fault.

During the filming, Xu Zheng was watching and helping the crew throughout the whole process. As for the actors, Gu Wei and Liu Yifei did not need to worry about her.

Basically she came up with a script, and then the movie went smoothly and became a hit.

"Director Su is too humble."

“When it comes to box office, Mr. Gu is the biggest contributor to our drama.

Su Lun, you have to have a few drinks with Mr. Gu later," Xu Zheng said with a smile.

"Haha, Director Xu, you don't want me to walk out of this hotel normally!"

Wang Changtian looked at Gu Wei curiously.

"Why, Director Su has a very good drinking capacity?"

"Director Su is of Mongolian origin and has a good drinking capacity. I learned this from him when we were filming.

The prairie eagle spreads its wings and flies, with three cups hanging on one wing!

If she lets go and drinks, and Director Xu is there to help, I may not be able to walk out today." Gu Wei explained to Wang Changtian with a smile.

"Really~

Director Su, please be merciful for a while."

Wang Changtian looked at Su Lun in surprise and immediately gave up.

"What Mr. Gu said is too exaggerated. I can only drink a little."

Su Lun was a little embarrassed and stretched out his thumb and index finger to make a little gesture.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the boss Xu Zheng sold her.

"Not at all, I can testify to this.

Anyway, I can't drink her.

There is a saying that makes a lot of sense: if a woman can drink at the wine table, then nothing will happen to the man."

He said that both Gu Wei and Wang Changtian laughed.

No reporters or media were invited to the celebration banquet of "Cohabitation in Time and Space", it was all the crew and creators.

There was nothing special, just eating and drinking, purely to celebrate the movie’s box office success.

Of course, we will inevitably send red envelopes to everyone in the future.

This is basically an unspoken rule in the industry. After a movie is a hit, the main creators and all the staff will receive more or less red envelopes.

Liu Yifei didn't come. "Mulan" will be released in August, so she didn't have time to come back.

At the celebration banquet, Wang Changtian and Xu Zheng were both very happy. The movie "Cohabitation in Time and Space" made their companies a huge profit, with a net profit of more than 200 million from the box office split alone.

There will be some income from online copyrights and the like in the future of the film. Although it may be a little less, it is not a small amount in the long run.
