"The Wandering Earth" was a hit, and apart from the film's creators, the happiest person was the producer of "Shanghai Fortress".

If we just look at some external data, the similarities between the two movies are actually quite high.

They are all adaptations of big IPs, and they are promoted as domestically produced hard science fiction.

In terms of directors, Guo Pancheng's famous work is "My Deskmate", and "Shanghai Fortress" director Teng Huatao's famous work is "Love Is Not Blind".

Both of them started their careers in romantic films, and Teng Huatao is more famous than Guo Fan.

In terms of casting, [Shanghai Fortress] is a little weaker. The combination of Gu Wei and Wu Jing is currently unmatched by anyone in the domestic film industry.

However, Lu Han and Shu Qi are also attractive enough.

Even though he has revealed that he is in love, Lu Han still has the second-tier domestic entertainment traffic under Gu Wei. The last movie he starred in, "Tomb Raiders", had a box office of 1 billion.

Shu Qi has been in the film industry for many years and has both acting skills and national reputation.

"Shanghai Fortress" is also produced by China Film and Television, and was launched almost at the same time as "The Wandering Earth".

However, "The Wandering Earth" is a joint production between China Film and Television and "Wei Tianxia", and the other major partner of "Shanghai Fortress" is Hong Kong's China Television Entertainment.

At the beginning, China Film didn't have enough money to invest in "The Wandering Earth". Part of the reason was because "Shanghai Fortress" also needed a lot of money.

China Film Group is the largest film group in China. Although it is not short of money, it also has many places to spend it.

The box office of "The Wandering Earth" has been soaring. Domestic audiences are optimistic about future domestic science fiction movies. Taking advantage of this popularity, "Shanghai Fortress" quickly set a release date.

“This is a science fiction war filmed for the Chinese people, and the movie will present the whole of Shanghai to the audience.

Those familiar scenes and science fiction settings, as well as the feeling of alien invasion, will bring the most realistic experience to the audience and create a very close connection with everyone.

Science fiction, war, love, it took 5 years, and through the joint efforts of the team, I finally presented the picture I wanted to everyone."

The official Weibo of Shanghai Fortress released the first trailer of the movie. In an interview with the media, Director Teng talked about how difficult it was to film the movie.

"After [The Wandering Earth] became a hit, I feel that domestic science fiction films have suddenly become popular. This [Shanghai Fortress] has been very popular recently. Many people on the Internet are very much looking forward to this movie."

In the hotel room, Jingtian was wearing a pair of light pink pajamas, leaning on the sofa and scrolling through his mobile phone. The white semicircle of the V-shaped neckline was looming, and a pair of slender and straight legs were overlapped.

Gu Wei, who was sitting next to her, didn't notice the alluring scenery at all. He was holding a portable laptop in his hand and focused on the screen.

Gu Wei was filming on the set of [Life Events], and Da Tiantian came over to visit the crew. After her day's work was over, she naturally checked into a hotel room.

“[The Wandering Earth] does not reflect the average level of domestic science fiction films.

It's not that I'm not optimistic about the future development of domestic science fiction movies. Maybe there won't be any domestic works comparable to "The Wandering Earth" for a long time in the future.

[Shanghai Fortress] is just a joke." Da Tiantian's words made Gu Wei take his attention away from the notebook and said with some disdain.

"No way. Judging from all the conditions, even if [Shanghai Fortress] is not as good as [Wandering Earth], it won't be as bad as you said, right?" Jingtian couldn't believe it and looked at Gu Wei in confusion, "You Have you seen the finished film?”

She knew that Gu Wei had a good relationship with China Film, and "Shanghai Fortress" was a film produced by China Film.

"Well, I guess." I haven't seen it now, but I have seen it in the original time and space.

"Teng Huatao doesn't know how to make science fiction movies at all. Romance movies disguised as science fiction movies have a bunch of shit in the plot and special effects.

Although I have a good relationship with Lu Han, there is really nothing to clean up this time, and his performance was terrible.

It's normal, he is an idol and not a professional actor.

If the director is good at training, there can still be good effects in some dramas, but if the director is not good, the performance will be a disaster."

Talking about [Shanghai Fortress] Gu Wei couldn't help but complain a few more words.

In the original time and space, he went to see "Shanghai Fortress" after watching "The Wandering Earth", but he was completely confused.

There are so many flaws in this movie that I can’t even mention them.

From the plot to the actors to the special effects, there is almost no highlight.

It's hard to believe that director Teng Huatao has previously produced such good works as "Love Is Not Blind" and "Dwelling".

Da Tiantian also didn't expect Gu Wei's evaluation of the movie to be so low.

"It's rare to see you belittle a movie like this. According to you, [Shanghai Fortress] must be a super bad movie."

"It sucks!"

"Let's just talk behind closed doors. Don't say that outside, especially in front of the media. You have too much influence now." Jingtian frowned slightly and warned with some worry.

Gu Wei turned his head and looked at the sweet and white face, and couldn't help but kiss her.

"Don't worry, isn't this a chat between us? I couldn't help but complain a few words. I will definitely be careful about what I say and do when I go out.

I don’t have any grudge against Teng Huatao. We are still friends with Xiaolu, and we won’t do anything to offend others for nothing.

I don’t need to criticize the quality of [Shanghai Fortress]. Everyone will know what it is like after it is released.”

"Yeah" Jingtian nodded, holding Gu Wei's arm and looking at the laptop screen in front of him.

"Is this the script you're reading?"

"Yes, the third part of [Detective Chinatown], as I told you before, will start filming around May."

Da Tiantian's eyes lit up. Due to the huge sales of the first two parts, the [Detective Chinatown] series has become one of the most popular IPs in China.

"What is the content of the third part? Can you tell me in advance?"

"It's hard to explain it in a few words, but the main plot is still the story of Qin Feng and Tang Ren, the two protagonists, going to a foreign country to solve a case.

The location of the third part is Tokyo, and the case is a murder in a closed room.

You will know when the movie is released."

"Have you found the actors?"

Gu Wei nodded.

"Because the third part takes place in Tokyo, except for the two protagonists, other roles are all local actors.

The heroine is the famous Japanese Yui Aragaki, and the second part is Satoshi Tsumabuki."

"Yui Aragaki?

I've seen her [Love Letter], she is a super cute Japanese actress."

Jingtian sighed with envy on his face.

Gu Wei knew what she was thinking, but there was indeed no role suitable for Da Tiantian in [Detective Chinatown 3].

"What work arrangements do you have recently? Will you not join the crew to film after the Chinese New Year?"

"I have several announcements to attend this month, and I also have to shoot a cover photo for [ELLE World Fashion Garden], but I don't need to join the crew for the time being.

My team suggested waiting for [Si Teng] before taking on a role."

"Your team's suggestion is very correct. There will be many scripts for you after [Si Teng]." Gu Wei smiled and hugged Jing Tian into his arms, and put his other hand on the other's fair and round thigh.

Da Tiantian's skin is very good, smooth and delicate, a little cool, and feels great to the touch.

"I really miss the time when I was filming [Si Teng]. It would be great if there was a suitable opportunity to film together again." Jing Tian leaned in Gu Wei's arms, with a pair of small hands on his chest.

Gu Wei hugged Da Tiantian, and the hand on his thigh moved to his soft waist.

"It's not that there is no chance."

"Is there a role suitable for me?" Jing Tian turned his head and looked at Gu Wei and asked in surprise.

"My company is preparing a TV series with a male lead. With your image, it should be no problem for you to play the female lead."

"Really? That's great. What drama?" Gu Wei's words made Da Tiantian excited. She didn't expect that she would have such a harvest when she came to visit the set this time.

"It's called [Celebrating Yu Nian], adapted from a relatively famous online novel of the same name."

The original [Celebrating Yu Nian] started filming in 2018 and was broadcast online in 2019.

But now the copyright of [Celebrating Yu Nian] has been in the hands of Gu Wei. He plans to play this drama himself, and because he has been busy, he has delayed it until now.

"When will it be filmed?" Jing Tian was a little impatient.

"It's still early. At present, there is only the script. The crew has not set up the actors and has not started looking for them.

You are the first actor to be confirmed besides me.

I plan to start filming after [Detective Chinatown 3] is finished, and it will be the second half of the year at the earliest.

If you have time, you can read the original novel first, and I will send you the script later."

"Well, I will study it carefully."

Jing Tian nodded seriously.

As the two chatted, Gu Wei's hands had already climbed up from the other's soft waist. The thin silk pajamas could not stop anything.

After a while, Da Tiantian's fair face flushed, and her eyes were blurred and she collapsed in Gu Wei's arms, like a lamb to be slaughtered, letting anyone do whatever he wanted.

Jing Tian, ​​who came to visit the crew, stayed only one night. The next day, Gu Wei returned to the crew to film and she also left the hotel.

"Where did you run away from? You say you are the biological mother, so you are the biological mother. You say you can cancel the account and cancel it?" On the steps beside the road, Gu Wei, wearing a plaid shirt, looked at the fashionable woman in front of him with disdain.

The woman is Wu Xiaowen's biological mother. Because of some things, she was unable to raise her daughter, and now she wants to take the child away from Mo Sanmei.

"Xiao Wen was born at 9 am in June 2015. I gave birth to her for 27 hours, but she refused to come out. I had to do a cesarean section in the end.

She has a diamond-shaped birthmark on her left ankle. If you still don't believe it, you can do a paternity test!" Huang Mengying, who plays Xiao Wen's mother Hai Fei, was excited and backed up to block Gu Wei's way forward.

"I'm going to test you, you daddy." Gu Wei lit a cigarette slowly and walked away quickly.

"Ka! This one is good, passed!

Get ready to change scenes"

The director's voice came from the loudspeaker, and Gu Wei walked out of the shooting site.

"Boss, I'm sorry for just now. I made you reshoot with me after several NGs." In the actor's lounge, Huang Mengying, who had just finished the filming, sat opposite Gu Wei and said apologetically.

"It's okay, don't worry about it.

You just joined the group and you have to adapt, and you performed very well in the last two times." Gu Wei waved his hand.

Huang Mengying's character Haifei only has a few scenes, but she is a very important character in the later part of the movie.

She is Xiaowen's biological mother, but she was sent to prison because of her wrong path and failed to fulfill her mother's responsibilities.

After she came out, she wanted to take her child back to raise him, but Xiaowen had become Mo Sanmei's family.

After a series of things, not only did Xiaowen not leave, but Haifei also stayed.

It can be said that in the hearts of the audience, the character of Haifei is the final official match of the protagonist Mo Sanmei.

"I went to see [The Wandering Earth] a few days ago." When the two sat down to rest, Huang Mengying took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"How do you feel?"

"It was so shocking, the scenes were grand, the special effects were realistic, and the story was very touching. I cried in the later part.

I watched it once by myself and then watched it again with my parents."

"Haha, thank you for your support.

But Mengying, you actually have time to watch a movie with your parents, it's not easy."

"I'm not a particularly popular big star, I'm not that busy.

I had nothing to do during the New Year and was resting at home all the time," Huang Mengying said.

Gu Wei thought about it.

"Mengying, do you have a TV series online recently? I seem to have seen it in the news a few days ago?"

"It's [Against the Current], which will be broadcast on the 12th of this month. Sister Ma Li and Teacher Pan Yueming starred in it. I played the second female role in it." Huang Mengying said with a smile.

"Which channel broadcasts it? I'll go and see it later."

"Mango TV Golden Eagle Exclusive Theater, which will be broadcast after [Do You Know?].

But the performance is a bit behind [Do You Know?]"

The two chatted with each other, and the agent Yang Dan walked behind Gu Wei.

"Boss, phone call."

"Who?"

"Director Guo."

Gu Wei picked up the phone and stood up with a smile.

"I'll go take a call."

Huang Mengying smiled and nodded.

"Hello, Director Guo, is the roadshow in the United States going well?

Really? That's great!

How is the negotiation with Netflix?

I have no objection. The deal with Netflix was agreed before. You can talk boldly.

Mr. Ren from China Film will be with you. He is a professional in this area.

Then I will wait for your good news. Let's celebrate together at the celebration banquet in Beijing at the end of the month."

After chatting for a few words, Gu Wei hung up the phone and came back.

"Is it about "The Wandering Earth"?" Huang Mengying looked curious. Gu Wei's agent just mentioned Director Guo. She guessed that the caller might be Guo Fan, the director of "The Wandering Earth".

"Yes~" Gu Wei nodded.

Gu Fan called him to discuss the sale of streaming copyright to Netflix. Gu Wei gave his opinion and said the price in his mind, but the specific price depends on how the negotiation goes with the other party.

"Director Guo went to the United States for a roadshow a few days ago, and he had something to discuss with me."

"Today is the 23rd. I just looked at the data online. The total box office of "The Wandering Earth" has exceeded 4.5 billion after 18 days of release, and it is about to surpass the 4.8 billion of "Ne Zha" and become the second in film history.

According to this trend, 5 billion should not be difficult.

Is it possible for "The Wandering Earth" to catch up with "Wolf Warrior 2"? "

Hearing Huang Mengying's words, Gu Wei opened his mobile phone and took a look.

The current real-time box office of "The Wandering Earth" is 4.583 billion, and it will soon reach 4.6 billion.

It has maintained the title of the single-day box office champion for 16 days since the second day of its release, but fell to second yesterday.

"Alita: Battle Angel" produced by Spielberg was released yesterday, and the box office on the first day was 120 million.

"It's unrealistic to surpass [Wolf Warrior 2]. According to the current box office trend, there will be about 500 to 600 million box office in the next ten days or so. It should be no problem for the movie to exceed 5 billion."

"The top three movies in mainland China's film history are all our company's movies, and two of them are starring you, boss. It's amazing!" Huang Mengying looked at Gu Wei with admiration, with a little pride in her expression.

The company she was talking about was not [Jiaxing Media] but [Wei Ming Tian Xia].

She is an artist of [Jiaxing], Gu Wei is the major shareholder of [Jiaxing] and the boss of [Wei Ming Tian Xia]. Rounding off, she is also an artist of [Wei Ming Tian Xia].

"It's not that exaggerated. The [Wolf Warrior] series belongs to Wu Jing, and [The Wandering Earth] is also a project initiated by China Film.

Only [Nezha: The Devil Child Comes to the World] can be considered a true [Wei Ming Tian Xia] work"
