Huayu is free to do as you like

"When did you come back from Tokyo?" There were many people at the premiere. After Deng Chao left, Gu Wei chatted with some familiar friends. Wu Jing saw him and walked over from a distance.

"I returned to the country at the beginning of the month. Has Brother Jing finished filming [The Climber]?"

"The filming was completed last month, and I took two days to shoot [My Motherland and Me].

I remember that you appeared in the unit directed by Xue Xiaolu, right? "

Gu Wei nodded. Although they were filming the same movie, they were actually filming separately and had nothing to do with each other.

"Yes, the [Return] unit captures the historical moment of Hong Kong Island's return in 1997, and I played the flag-raiser at that time.

There were only a few shots, and the total shooting took less than 5 days.”

"Haha, we are pretty much the same. I played a table tennis coach in the [Win the Championship] unit. It was just one scene and it was done in one day."

"I remember that you don't usually attend premieres like this. Why are you so free today and have time to come over and support Brother Chao?"

"Ahem~ I have invested in Deng Chao's drama, and my company [Dengfeng International] is also one of the producers.

I also played a cameo role in it.”

Gu Wei suddenly realized: "Brother Jing, you are an investor!"

"Small investors, the main control is Guangguang and Deng Chao's own [Orange Image]."

"Have you seen the movie? How was it?" Gu Wei asked curiously.

He was a little unfamiliar with the movie "Galaxy Tutorial". Yuan Shikong had read relevant news online but had not seen the movie.

“I was out of town a few days ago and only came back these two days, so I missed the internal screening of the movie.

But I heard from them that the final effect of the film is quite good.

Deng Chao and Lao Bai (Yu Baimei) are particularly confident in this movie, saying that it is comparable to the one produced by your company [I am not the God of Medicine]." Wu Jing's voice became softer when he said these words. After all, he did not When I watch the movie, I just listen to what others say.

Gu Wei nodded slightly, but was skeptical about Wu Jing's words.

Although he has never seen "Galaxy Tutorial", he has the impression that the box office and reputation of this movie should be far different from "The God of Medicine".

There are actually only a few domestic movies that can be huge hits every year, and almost everyone who is online knows about them.

Even if you don’t go to the cinema to watch it, you will still see related news and discussions on various media and platforms. [Galaxy Tutorial] obviously does not reach that level.

The two didn't chat for long before the premiere ceremony was about to begin, and all the guests present returned to their seats.

The premiere was still the same as before. The main creator introduced himself, interacted with the audience and media friends to answer questions, and played a small game to liven up the atmosphere. After all these were completed, the movie began to show.

The content of [Galaxy Tutoring School] is not complicated. Ma Haowen, played by Deng Chao, was imprisoned due to an accident, which made him regretfully miss his son's seven years of growing up.

After coming out, I found that my grown-up son had become a "scumbag" in the traditional sense.

However, he did not give up. Instead, he encouraged his son in his own way, gave him full love and space to grow freely, tried to teach him to think independently, and cultivated his courage to face difficulties.

In the end, his educational methods did work. When his son grew up, he realized his childhood dream and became an astronaut.

The whole story made me laugh with tears, which is considered to be a relatively high degree of completion.

However, in Gu Wei's view, [Galaxy Tutorial School] actually has many critical flaws.

The movie has two main lines, one is the relationship between father and son, and the other is the confrontation of educational concepts.

These two lines are not well combined, and are even somewhat separated.

The first is the conflict between father and son.

In order to realize his dream of aerospace, his son Ma Fei persuaded his father to give up regaining his reputation. In fact, he sacrificed his father's dream for his own dream.

In this regard, Ma Haowen said disappointedly: "My education has completely failed."

What does education mean here?

It is character education.

In the first half of the film, Ma Haowen has been trying to get his son out of his exam-oriented mentality and cultivate his ability to think independently.

In Ma Haowen's words, "As long as you keep thinking and thinking, you can do anything on earth."

Later, under the reminder of these words, Ma Fei resolved the crisis in the spacecraft and successfully returned to Earth.

He not only did good things on earth, but also did good things in the universe.

At this time, he said to the direction of the earth, "Dad, your education has not failed."

This is a bit embarrassing. The son's words did not actually respond to the father's question.

What they mean by "education" are completely different things.

Let’s go back to the theme of the movie, the issue of education.

[Galaxy Tutoring School] seems to be criticizing "examination-oriented education" through the stories of Ma Haowen and Ma Fei.

However, this is not the case in expression.

The movie does not deny the "examination".

Because everyone knows that in this domestic environment, "examination" is already the fairest way, and even the only way out for many children.

We cannot deny "exams" and criticize "exam-oriented education". We can only find faults in educational methods.

Ma Haowen felt that his son's poor learning was due to a problem with his education methods, so he used his own quality education methods to help his son Ma Fei make a leap in his test-taking ability, and his academic performance soared from then on.

To put it bluntly, what the film tells us is not how bad exam-oriented education is, but that I have a method that is even better than me when it comes to exam-taking.

As for what is the method?

The movie doesn't give an accurate answer, it just gives some vague chicken soup and says some "unconsciously powerful" golden words: "As long as you keep thinking, you can do anything well."

These shortcomings are problems with the script and the director's failure to think things through. There are too many things he wants to express and discuss, but the actual level is not enough.

But to be honest, although there are problems like this, compared with the previous "Breakup Master" and "Villain Angel", we can see the progress of Deng Chao and Yu Baimei from "Galaxy Tutorial".

After the movie ended, the creators interacted with the audience again, and many celebrity guests present also stood up and said a few words about their thoughts after watching the movie.

"I was moved many times. This is a beautiful movie, a great movie.

I haven't seen such a touching movie in so many years.

I'm very proud to be part of this team.

Lao Yu and Brother Chao were very courageous and carefully opened up a hole in the topic of education, so that the hole would grow again and grow stronger.

I think I will take Wu Suo to watch [Galaxy Tutorial] again, it is not only suitable for parents, but also suitable for children."

As an investor in the film, Wu Jing was naturally generous with his praise.

The microphone was quickly passed to Gu Wei's hands. Since he was here today, he would certainly not be let go by the organizers as a walking hot topic.

"Well, the movie was very good. It's a pity that I don't have children, but I would recommend my dad to watch it. Although it's a little late for education now, it can reflect on the past education methods."

After Gu Wei finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter.

"Uncle doesn't need to reflect. Just look at the results and you will know that his education is extremely successful," Deng Chao added with a smile.

"In short, it is a good movie. Brother Chao and Director Yu are very good. I will recommend it to my friends."

On the 18th, [Galaxy Tutorial] will be released nationwide.

On the first day of release on Thursday, the box office was 64.35 million, and on Friday it was 67.12 million. The box office on the first two days of the first weekend exceeded 100 million respectively, and the total box office in the first week was 357 million.

This result cannot be said to be particularly explosive. It is already a good start to the summer season this year.

[Galaxy Tutoring School] received a Douban score of 6.6 in the first week of its release, which is not particularly high in terms of word-of-mouth but is still above the standard.

After more than half a month of post-production, the first and second cuts of "Tang Detective 3" have been completed, and Gu Wei doesn't have to keep an eye on it every day.

".[Donggong] will be launched on the Mango Channel Idol Exclusive Theater on the Chinese Valentine's Day on the 7th of next month. Youku, who bought the exclusive broadcast rights from the Internet, is already preliminarily promoting it."

"I'm going to take Meng Ziyi to some variety shows this time, right?" Gu Wei picked up the water glass and took a sip. He was already familiar with promoting new drama releases.

"I'm definitely going to [Happy Camp]. Mango Terrace hopes that you can participate in the [Chinese Restaurant] as a flying guest.

The Youku platform has arranged some interviews and fan meetings." Yang Dan said to Gu Wei while holding a small notebook and reading it.

"What season is [Chinese Restaurant] in? Who are the guests this year?"

"In the third season, the fixed hosts are Huang Xiaoming, Wang Junkai, Qin Hailu, Yang Zi, and Lin Shuwei"

"Huang Xiaoming, Yang Zi," Gu Wei rolled his eyes, and he remembered the popular meme on the Internet in the future, "I don't want you to think, I want me to feel." It seems to be the nickname of Brother Xiaoming in [Chinese Restaurant] this season. Speak domineeringly.

If he was to be a guest on the flight, he might even be able to witness this scene.

But having said that, the background of what Huang Xiaoming said at that time was that Yang Zi injured her finger. She said that she felt nothing was wrong and just applied some Yunnan Baiyao. Huang Xiaoming asked her to go to the hospital because she was concerned and said, "I don't want you." I feel, I want to feel!”

The intention was good, but due to the editing of the program and the jokes of netizens, this sentence became the leader's overbearing saying.

Also because Huang Xiaoming's image has not been very good in the past two years, due to bad movies and the speeches of some bosses, his popularity has become very bad, and he has been rated as one of the four oil kings in the entertainment industry.

However, he himself is not aware of this yet.

"Is [Qing Yu Nian] ready over there?"

"All the actors were found last month. In the two months since you went to Tokyo for filming, Director Sun Hao took the main creators to some places in the country to select the locations. It is currently scheduled to start filming in the middle of next month."

[Wei Tianxia] A small screening room in the company.

Next to Gu Wei sat Wen Muye and Xiao Yang, followed by a group of senior executives in the company.

At the end of the nearly two-hour screening, there was a burst of applause in the small screening room when the subtitles appeared.

"Director, [Manslaughter] was really well shot. Although it was adapted from an Indian film, I have to say that it showed our own characteristics.

Wonderful, very wonderful.”

"And Xiao Yang, his acting skills are becoming more and more proficient. He is worthy of being the man who won the Golden Horse Award."

Gu Wei praised while clapping his hands.

"Manslaughter" is a crime suspense film starring Xiao Yang and directed by "Wei Tianxia". Wen Mu also directed it.

After the film was released, the company organized an internal viewing party.

"Mr. Gu, thank you for the award. This is my first time making a movie with this theme. In fact, there are still many shortcomings.

The main thing is that Xiao Yang and Tan Zhuo performed well." Wen Mu also smiled and said modestly.

"They were all shot according to the director's requirements. It's the director who directed it better." Xiao Yang said the same thing.

"You two don't need to be polite to each other. We have cooperated so many times and we are both our own people."

Gu Wei finished speaking with a smile and thought for a while: "At present, it is definitely too late to release it in the summer.

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. There will be a large number of gift films released during the National Day holiday. Our genre is not suitable to compete with them at the box office.

Then it can only be released during the Lunar New Year period in December.

Director Literary, what do you think? "

"The box office of domestic crime suspense movies has always been low. Will the competition be too fierce if it is released during the Lunar New Year period?" Wen Mu was also a little worried.

"I have confidence in the quality of [Manslaughter]. The combination of you and Xiao Yang also has great box office appeal. The Lunar New Year movie will definitely be fine!" Gu Wei patted the literary director on the shoulder.

"Okay, just follow the company's arrangements."

After coming out of the screening room, Wen Mu also followed Gu Wei to his office.

A pot of Gongfu tea was brewed, and the two sat opposite each other, sipping tea and chatting.

"Have you finished making [My Motherland and Me]?" Gu Weida held the steaming cup of Biluochun, blew on it and took a slow sip.

Wen Mu is also one of the seven filming directors. The filming unit is called "Escort". It tells the story of the best female pilots in the Chinese Air Force flying team, who escorted the military parade to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

“That one was shot very quickly and edited even faster in post.

After all, the time is short, only 20 minutes of footage in total, and the story is simple."

"How is Zhang Tianai's performance? It shouldn't be a problem to play a female pilot in her image, right?"

"It's pretty good. She has played many similar roles before, such as the field doctor in [Wolf Warrior 2] and the reporter in [Operation Red Sea].

She also has a tough temperament, so there is no problem playing a female pilot."

Gu Wei nodded.

"It just so happens that you don't have any work at hand right now. I have a very good script for you to read."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked behind his desk, opened the drawer, and took out a white-covered notebook. After sitting back, he handed it to Wen Muye.

"Boss, I just finished all the work. Now you give me a new job. Factory workers also have weekends off." Wen Mu also joked about the script, and the cover had a few big words "Zhou Chu eliminates three evils".

"You take a look first, I don't have to accept it.

Whether it was [God of Medicine] or [Manslaughter] before, you took the initiative to ask for it after reading the script."

“The main reason is that the script is so good, and with such a good story in front of me, it’s hard for me as a director not to be tempted.

[Eliminating the three evils every week]?

Is it the story in [Shishuoxinyu]? "

Wen Mu didn't look through the script in a hurry and looked at the name on the cover and asked.

"Absolutely, it's a similar story, so I gave it this name." Gu Wei crossed his legs, drank tea slowly, stopped talking, and waited for Wen Mu to read the script.

More than ten minutes passed, and Wen Mu also closed the script.

It was impossible for him to read the entire script in such a short period of time, he just understood the general story.

"Tsk, tsk, this story is really interesting." As he said this, he looked up at Gu Wei.

"I see it says at the beginning that it is adapted from real events. Is there really a person named "Chen Guilin"?"

"You can search the Internet and you will know that Liu Huanrong, the legendary killer of Wanwan in the 1990s, is the prototype of this story.

Of course, the stories in the script are artistically processed." Gu Wei looked at Wen Muye with a smile.

"How's it going? Are you tempted?"

Wen Mu also took the script and smiled bitterly: "I have been busy filming in the past few years after joining the company. I originally planned to take a break after filming [Manslaughter]. Now that I have such a good script, boss, you are making things difficult for me."

Gu Wei smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, don't force it.

I'm just going to show you the script.

I plan to play the role of "Chen Guilin" myself. According to the schedule, filming will not start until the end of the year at the earliest, so there is no rush.

If you don’t want to take it, you can ask director Yao Xiaozhi to take it, he is better at making movies with a somewhat absurd tone."

"No, Mr. Gu, I heard that the later stage of [Life Events] directed by Director Rao has not been completed yet, so let him concentrate on that.

You allow me to go back and read the script carefully, and I will give you an answer in the next two days."

It can be seen that Wen Mu is also very tempted by this script.

"Don't be anxious, just take your time and watch. I've already told you that the film will be launched by the end of the year at the earliest. There is plenty of time."
