Huayu is free to do as you like

The press conference is over, but it's not too late.

After finally getting together, the group of "The Wandering Earth" had to have a meal and drink a little under Guo Fan's arrangement.

".How is Uncle Da doing recently?" Gu Wei asked Wu Mengda at the dinner table.

When filming, the other party's physical condition was not very good, and he was able to persist in completing the filming in the end. Everyone admired him.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Gu Wei for your reminder. After filming, I went back for a comprehensive examination. In addition to the previous heart disease, I also found some minor problems.

Fortunately, it was discovered early, and the problem is not big. It should be solved soon." Wu Mengda showed a little fear, and then raised his glass with gratitude.

Gu Wei also picked up his glass and clinked it with the other party.

Uncle Da has always had heart disease, which is something everyone knows, but he eventually died of advanced liver cancer in 2021.

The tumor had spread when it was discovered. Now there is a chance, Gu Wei certainly did not forget to remind the other party to check his body.

There is a huge difference between early and late detection of cancer.

Judging from the current situation, Wu Mengda should not die in two years like in the original time and space.

In the future, when [The Wandering Earth 2] starts filming, there is no need to use CG technology to restore his appearance, just find the real person to shoot.

"Uncle Da, your health is not very good. You should focus on recuperation in the future. You can postpone work if you can."

With Gu Wei's reminder this time, Wu Mengda avoided a disaster, but his health did not improve much.

Because of bad living habits such as smoking and drinking in his early years and overloaded work, his body has long been riddled with holes.

In 2014, he was admitted to the ICU because of viral heart disease, and he also suffered from diabetes.

No one knows how many more years he can hold on.

"I know, I also cherish my life, but I won't do it if the work is not good."

Wu Mengda smiled and waved his hand. He also knew that it was not good for his health to work so hard on filming now, but at the age of 67, he still had to support three women, his ex-wife, his confidante and his current wife, as well as five children. The family burden was too heavy and he could not rest.

".Take care of your health when you are working." Gu Wei also understood his choice.

When "The Wandering Earth" celebrates its success, he will ask the crew to give Uncle Da a bigger red envelope.

He can only help this much, the rest depends on fate.

"Ala. Don't worry, I am very careful in my daily life, and there will never be such an intense shooting as our movie.

But having said that, although it was very hard to shoot "The Wandering Earth" and I suffered a lot.

But I don't regret it at all, but I am very fortunate to be able to join such a great work."

Originally, Wu Mengda was chatting with Gu Wei, but his words also attracted the attention of Guo Fan, Wu Jing and others.

"I am really very grateful to Director Guo for asking me to shoot this movie.

In more than 40 years of acting, this movie is my best one."

As a comedian and a golden supporting actor, Wu Mengda mostly played some clowns in his early years.

Many roles are also very classic, bringing a lot of joy to the audience.

But as an actor, especially when he is older, he still hopes that he can play some positive characters with depth and emotions, instead of always making a fool of himself to amuse the audience.

Han Ziang in [The Wandering Earth] is exactly the kind of role he hopes to play. He raises his grandson and granddaughter with great difficulty under harsh conditions, and gives his all and even his life.

"Uncle Da, don't say that. You can act and give so much for the role. The crew has seen it.

You are an old senior in the circle, and your professionalism is worth learning from us young people." Guo Fan said.

"Yes, Uncle Da, you act very well!"

"Take care of yourself." Others also echoed.

The atmosphere of the dinner party in the evening was very good. We haven't seen each other for more than a year. Now we get together and think of the hardships when we were filming.

A group of people wore clothes weighing dozens of kilograms every day to shoot from morning to night.

This is also a rare experience in everyone's acting career.

Guo Fan is very happy that [The Wandering Earth] is about to be released.

He took over this movie in 2015 and spent unimaginable efforts on it for 4 years.

Gu Wei is also very happy.

He really likes this domestic science fiction masterpiece. It is no joke that "The Wandering Earth" opened the door to domestic science fiction movies. As the leading actor, he is proud of it.

Moreover, he invested 250 million yuan and is currently the largest investor in the film.

The income brought to him by this film will not be lower than that of "Wolf Warrior 2".

Others are also in a very good mood.

Everyone has seen the finished film, and everyone knows the quality of "The Wandering Earth".

Everyone has great expectations for the film they participated in.

In this environment and atmosphere, everyone can't help but drink a few more glasses.

Especially Guo Fan, Gu Wei, and Wu Jing, they are the main objects of toast.

Guo Fan and Wu Jing occasionally kill each other.

In the end, even Gu Wei, who has a strong alcohol tolerance, can't help but get a little drunk.

Meng Ziyi didn't say much at the dinner table. She sat next to Zhao Jinmai from beginning to end and drank juice with Mai Mai.

Listening to the loud talking of others at the dinner table, a pair of big eyes looked at Gu Wei from time to time.

After the dinner was over, she quietly walked to Gu Wei, held his arm, and followed him into the nanny car.

At night, in the second ring of Beijing, a large flat in the embassy courtyard No. 1.

The 300-square-meter room was pitch black, with only the bedroom lit by an orange night light.

The voice in the room went from low to high and finally a little hoarse, which lasted for nearly an hour.

Gu Wei drank some water after returning home, and now he is sweating a little, and the drunkenness caused by drinking has faded.

Meng Ziyi was soft all over, panting heavily, with a blush on her face for a long time, the hair on her forehead was wet with sweat and stuck to her forehead, and a layer of fine sweat also appeared on her body.

Her figure is really very good, 170 cm tall, with a pair of slender and straight legs, a perky buttocks, a slender waist, a beautiful back, white and smooth, and skin as delicate as ivory without any flaws.

The most commendable thing is that she has a slim figure but an unusually plump bust. Although she is not as big as Da Mimi, she is also considered above average among domestic girls.

".Are you going back to the crew tomorrow?" After a long while, Meng Ziyi, who had recovered a little strength, asked in a low voice.

"There is also an interview with Time.com, and I will go back to the crew after that."

"How much box office do you think our movie can get? I saw all kinds of things said online, and there are many people who are pessimistic about "The Wandering Earth""

"Haha, normal." Gu Wei put his arm around Meng Ziyi, and his warm big hand covered her smooth and beautiful back.

"After all, it is a domestic science fiction film, and it is normal for everyone to distrust it.

The slogan of "the first year of Chinese film science fiction" has been shouted again and again, but there has never been a solid work that can really bear the responsibility of breaking the ice.

But this time they don't know, we are serious!

How much box office do you think our movie can get?"

Meng Ziyi didn't expect Gu Wei not to answer, but asked her instead.

She raised her head slightly, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.

"It should be at least 2 billion, after all, it is the second movie you and Brother Jing have cooperated on"

She reported a conservative number.

Gu Wei's mouth curled slightly.

"Wu Jing and I are worth 2 billion, but with the high quality of the movie "The Wandering Earth", it's more than doubled."

"4 billion? Is it another "Wolf Warrior 2"? "Meng Ziyi was very surprised. She has 100% trust in Gu Wei.

In her eyes, Gu Wei has never failed, and his predictions about film and television dramas are often very accurate.

"I don't know how much it will be in the end, but it will definitely be more than 4 billion!

This is my confidence in the movie and in myself."

The original version was starred by Qu Chuxiao, an 18th-tier artist, and "The Wandering Earth" eventually got a super high box office of 4.6 billion.

Now the male lead has been replaced by Gu Wei, who is far more famous than him, and has attracted a lot of topics.

The box office of the movie in the early stage must be far higher than the original version.

Speaking of the scheduling, squeezed by the release of various blockbusters during the Spring Festival, the original time and space "The Wandering Earth" had only 11% of the scheduling on the day of its release, ranking behind the three movies "Crazy Alien", "Flying Life", and "The New King of Comedy".

The current screening rate is 18%, and with Gu Wei's high popularity, it is not surprising that the first-day box office exceeded the original version by more than double.

Of course, the number of moviegoers in the domestic film market is limited, and the higher the box office, the more serious the boundary effect of the film.

Gu Wei's version of "The Wandering Earth" will definitely have a higher box office than the original, but he can't say how much higher.

"What about the roadshows before and after the Spring Festival? Will you participate?" Meng Ziyi asked again.

In fact, "The Wandering Earth" has held several roadshows since December, but they were all run by Guo Fan and some of the main creators, and the effect was average.

After all, Guo Fan is really not famous now.

Everyone pays attention to "The Wandering Earth" not because of slogans such as "China's first hard science fiction movie" and "opening a new era of domestic science fiction movies", but because the starring actors are Gu Wei and Wu Jing.

This is a typical superstar effect.

Just like a comedy, as long as Shen Teng is there, it can attract the attention of the audience.

"I can't take too long off for [Life Events], but [The Wandering Earth] is also something I need to focus on.

I will meet up with the crew on the first day of the new year and go on the roadshow with them until the fifth day of the new year."

"Hehe, that's how I plan it, too." Meng Ziyi looked up at Gu Wei.

"Aren't you going to stay home for a few more days during the New Year?"

"Work is more important. I'm an actor."
