Chapter 741: More than just an actor

"How do you feel?"

The premiere ended and the audience left one after another. Wang Fang asked her best friend.

"Of course it's great. My brother's movies never disappoint us!"

Zhang Yinghui said without hesitation.

Wang Fang nodded.

"I think so too. It's just that the story is a bit heartbreaking. Fortunately, it has a good ending."

After that, she took her best friend's arm and said with a smile: "Go back and tell Xiaoyue and the others. They must be jealous of us."

"That can't be helped. They won the tickets for the premiere by lottery. Who can blame them for not having such good luck!"

Zhang Yinghui also laughed.

"The movie will be released tomorrow. I guess they will come to the cinema together. Will we still come then?" Wang Fang asked.

Zhang Yinghui hesitated for two seconds: "Come on! To support the idol's movie, come with everyone tomorrow to watch it again!"

"Okay, I'll come too."

In the cinema, Gu Wei was saying goodbye to his friends and thanking everyone for their support.

"Brother Wei, we're leaving now." Lu Han and Huang Zitao were both in casual clothes, wearing different colored caps.

"Thank you for coming today!"

"Brother Wei, why are you being so polite to us? It's strange to say this!" Huang Zitao spoke carelessly, with a hint of Qindao accent.

Lu Han also smiled and said, "Xiao Tao is right. It was Brother Wei who helped us before. We have limited abilities, so we can only come here to help at this time."

Because of the [Shanghai Fortress] incident two months ago, Lu Han is still grateful to Gu Wei.

Gu Wei also saw his state and patted Lu Han on the shoulder.

"Then I won't be polite. We'll get together again when we have time.

When the time comes, Xiao Lu will bring Xiao Tong out. I haven't seen her for a long time."

After that, he looked at Huang Zitao: "As for Zitao, I'll bring whoever I want."

"What do you mean I'll bring whoever I want? It's like I have many girlfriends. I'm single now!" Huang Zitao shouted dissatisfiedly.

Lu Han smiled as if he remembered something.

"Can you bring the female artist signed by your company?"

Gu Wei opened his eyes slightly, as if he had heard some great secret, and immediately became gossipy.

"What female artist, your girlfriend?"

"No, Brother Lu, don't make fun of me. Yangyang is just an employee of my company, and I am her boss. The relationship between us is purely a work relationship!" Huang Zitao's voice became a little louder, and he explained anxiously.

Lu Han looked amused: "Why are you in such a hurry? I didn't say she was your girlfriend.

Besides, there is more than one female artist in your company, and I didn't say the name. How can you know who it is as soon as I mention it?"

"You and me." Huang Zitao was at a loss for words.

Gu Wei smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Okay, next time everyone comes out for dinner, Zitao can call the artist under your company to come together, and everyone can get to know each other. There is nothing to be embarrassed about."

Huang Zitao scratched his head.

"I'll ask her then, there shouldn't be any problem, she is also half a fan of you, Brother Wei."

Most of the celebrity friends who came left, and Wu Jing left last.

"Brother Jing, thank you for coming to support us today!"

"I haven't had much to do recently, and I've been at home in Beijing. Since you said hello, I naturally had to come." Wu Jing was wearing a gray casual outfit with a little beard on his face, looking very casual.

"This movie is really well made, a bit like "Dying to Survive", and you and Zifeng acted very well!

And this theme will definitely be favored by many awards."

"Haha, I hope so!"

"How did you think of taking on a movie with this theme? I remember that you have always been making commercial movies. This movie feels a bit like an art film. Aren't you afraid that the box office will not be ideal?" Wu Jing asked curiously.

Gu Wei smiled slightly and pretended to be calm: "Whether it is a commercial film or an art film, as long as I like the story and script, I will take it.

As for the box office, I never consider those. As long as the film is well made, the audience will naturally not let me down."

Wu Jing was amused by Gu Wei's words: "You, you, although what you said is a bit irritating, but if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with it!"

He said what he thought of.

"Thinking about it now, it was a wise decision for you not to accept "The Climbers" at the beginning. It can be regarded as a successful avoidance of a landmine."

Gu Wei hesitated for a moment: "In fact, I later thought that if I had accepted "The Climbers" at the beginning, the final effect of the movie might really be better than it is now.

I was not satisfied with their script from the beginning. At that time, the script will definitely be greatly changed. Zhang Ziyi's love line should be deleted. The movie will be centered on the entire mountaineering team, focusing on the glory and sense of mission of waiting for Mount Everest.

If Li Rengang can't shoot well, he can also be replaced. If it really doesn't work, Lin Chaoxian can be asked to take over.

In this way, with the gimmick of our cooperation and the adapted script, I feel that the box office of "The Climbers" will not be lower than "The Captain" and "My People, My Country".

Of course, another possibility is that these requirements cannot be met by Shanghai Film Studio, and I will quit the group during the filming."

Wu Jing shook his head helplessly after hearing what Gu Wei said.

"Your request is too..."

"You're too arrogant, aren't you?"

Wu Jingzhi nodded: "Yes, we are just actors after all. When we are not directing, we just need to do our job as actors.

If I do what you say, wouldn't I be a drama tyrant?

No, ordinary drama tyrants are far inferior to me. You are not satisfied and even want to change the director."

Gu Wei shook his head.

"Brother Jing, when you are an actor to our level, you can no longer just think about being an actor.

Ordinary actors only need to perform the role well when they accept a role, but the expectations of the audience we carry are too high. People spend money to go to the theater because of my reputation as a guard, so even if I am only an actor, I have to serve the audience. kind of trust and responsibility.

Just like today's "Young You", I'm not bragging. If I hadn't played the male protagonist, how could a movie with this theme be so well-known and have pre-sales of nearly 200 million yuan?

You must know that Zeng Guoxiang's last film "July and Ansheng", which won the Golden Horse Award, had a box office of less than 200 million.

So when I accept a film now, one of the most important requirements is that I must have a share of the investment, and I must have a say in the crew, otherwise I will not accept the film even if it is promising."

Gu Wei's words touched Wu Jing greatly.

In fact, he has always regarded himself as an actor. When filming, he does whatever the director tells him to do. He just wants to play his role well and at most give some opinions on the martial arts scenes.

Later he became a director, also because in those years he was about to become obsolete and no one asked him to film, so he had to praise himself.

After the "Wolf Warrior" series became popular, he suddenly became the actor with the highest box office appeal in the Mesozoic domestic entertainment generation. After becoming popular, there was no shortage of opportunities, and Wu Jing returned to his original ideas when filming.

Now listening to what Gu Wei said, he also has some awareness. He is different from before. He is burdened with the expectations of many viewers, just like [The Climber]. How many viewers came in because of his name as Wu Jing? of cinema.

After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, Wu Jing looked up at Gu Wei.

"So, what was posted on the Internet about Zhou Dongyu is true. It's not the official statement that the actor voluntarily quit because the role was inappropriate, but that you kicked her out."

Gu Wei smiled and nodded: "Brother Jing, you know my character when we are filming together. I never act condescending even to the extras.

Since Zhou Dongyu doesn’t want to cut his hair, he might as well not play the role! "

"I remember you are still classmates in college, right?"

"We don't have any friendship. When I was in school, I was just an amateur, and she was already a big star. Later, when we entered the entertainment industry, we didn't have much contact with her."

Gu Wei and Wu Jing chatted a little more and agreed to have a drink together next time. Wu Jing left the venue.

#GU伟's new film "Youth" held its premiere in Beijing. The scene was a blast and fans' enthusiasm for watching the film was unprecedentedly high! #

#Wu Jing, Lu Han, Li Xian, Zhang Yi and others appeared at the premiere. Wu Jing praised Gu Wei for his courage to challenge new themes and new roles! #

#金马Director Zeng Guoxiang's another masterpiece after "July and Ansheng", Gu Wei and Zhang Zifeng gave wonderful performances. #

After the premiere, news related to "Youth" was reported by various media.

Many official media are also paying close attention to this movie.

Campus bullying is a widespread phenomenon on campus, but there are very few movies on related themes. Therefore, such "positive energy" movies that reflect social phenomena will more or less receive official attention and promotion.

Some film critics and audiences who attended the premiere wrote some of their own thoughts about the movie after going back.

[This movie is really thoughtful. When you were in a desperate situation, a light suddenly appeared in front of your eyes. Xiaobei and Chen Nian were the light in each other's lives. Xiaobei didn't want Chen Nian to be in the mud, so he worked hard to put her This setting that leads to a better future really shocked me. 】

[Gu Wei's acting skills are as good as ever, and all the emotions are in place. What surprised me is that the little sister Zhang Zifeng also acted equally well. The little girl has really grown up. Thank you for such a good movie. I wish you a great box office success! 】

[I went to see the premiere and burst into tears, but it was such a great movie.

The combination of Gu Wei and Zhang Zifeng reminded me of the first part of "Detective Chinatown" I watched many years ago, when Sinuo grew up.

The acting skills of both of them are so good, I recommend everyone to watch this movie! 】

[It looks good, and I feel like it can be included in the list of outstanding Chinese-language films of the year. From the significance of the film's subject matter to the script creation, to the director's overall control ability, and the expressiveness of the two protagonists, everything has reached the best presentation. Gu Wei's performance Great, he has such a playful look in his eyes! 】

["Young You" reveals the neglected campus bullying, and uses the camera to depict a story of the bullied and the street gangsters trying to warm each other up.

It has nothing to do with love, but two lonely individuals and souls approaching each other.

Rather than saying it is a youth film, it is better to say it is an educational French popularization column drama]

[Zeng Guoxiang tells a story about bullying and anti-bullying from a unique perspective. Just like Gu Wei said at the end of the movie, as long as everyone contributes a little bit, we can protect teenagers and the world! 】

【.】

Whether it is film critics or ordinary viewers who attended the premiere, the evaluation of "Young You" is one-sided.

Wu Jing and other celebrities who attended the premiere also reposted the movie's promotional poster on Weibo, recommending fans to watch it.

Many celebrities who were not present but had a good relationship with Gu Wei also retweeted Weibo and volunteered to help promote it.

There is increasing discussion about this movie online, and the pre-sale box office is also growing by leaps and bounds.

"Brother, how much do you think the box office of this movie starring Gu Wei will be?"

In Huayi's president's office, Wang Zhonglei asked while looking at the news about "Young You" on the Internet.

Wang Zhongjun lowered his head and fiddled with the tea set on the table in front of him. His movements were skillful and smooth. Soon, a pot of Gongfu tea was brewed.

He picked up the cup in front of him, blew it gently, and slowly took a sip.

"According to the current pre-sale box office results and the popularity of the movie, it should be no problem for the final box office to exceed 1 billion."

"Tsk tsk, I heard that the total investment of "Better Days" was just over 100 million. If the box office can exceed 1 billion, it will be a big profit!

Gu Wei is really worthy of it. This kind of realistic film can also be popular!"

After the cooperation of "Ex-Files 3", Wang Zhonglei no longer doubted Gu Wei's box office appeal.

If someone else played that movie, the box office would have ended at 500 million or 800 million, but the final box office exceeded 2 billion.

Huayi made a lot of money, and its stock price rose a lot because of it.

"It's not surprising. With so many years of accumulated reputation from so many movies, Gu Wei's popularity and box office appeal have become strong to a certain extent.

The most amazing thing about him is that he has never failed, which is very scary.

In the entertainment industry, even international superstars like Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, and big directors like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, have failed at the box office by making bad movies.

But Gu Wei didn't.

So as long as his movie is released, many passers-by will naturally think that this is a good movie and worth watching.

And he has the largest fan base in the entertainment industry.

Even if Gu Wei starred in "Pure Mind", I feel that the box office can break 500 million.

Of course, if he starred in such a bad movie, his reputation would be broken, and he probably wouldn't do it no matter how much money he was given."

Wang Zhongjun has been in the entertainment industry for many years and is one of the earliest people in China to make commercial movies. With his experience, he can see the reason why Gu Wei is now undefeated at the box office.

"Then how can we break his golden body?"

Wang Zhongjun glanced at his brother.

"Many people in the industry know why Gu Wei has such strong box office appeal.

It's easy to make him fall. Just make him make more bad movies, break his undefeated myth, and make the audience lose confidence in him little by little.

But he has the final say on what kind of movie he plays.

If you are his opponent, you can only expect him to play a bad movie."

Wang Zhonglei nodded. He didn't have any bad thoughts. After all, Huayi and Gu Wei didn't have any grudges, and they had a very pleasant cooperation before.

"What did Tian Yusheng say? How is the script of [Ex-Files 4] going?"

Wang Zhongjun lowered his head to drink tea and asked casually.

"Don't mention it, I just asked him a few days ago.

Director Tian was busy with the movie "The Great Wish" before, and didn't do anything with "Ex-Files."

"The Korean adaptation movie of Hengye Film and Television?

I remember that it caused quite a stir when it was released. Gu Wei spoke out for his artists and pointed the finger at the people in Taiwan."

"Yes, the box office was less than 200 million in the end. What's the point of being so busy? It would be better to prepare for "Ex-Files 4" earlier. If Gu Wei continues to cooperate, 2 billion box office will be easily obtained."

Wang Zhonglei was also very dissatisfied with Tian Yusheng.

Wang Zhongjun thought for a while: "Let's ask Director Tian to come out for dinner and see what he thinks. He is the core of the "Ex-Files" series, and he still has the final say on what movies to shoot and how to shoot them."
