Huayu is free to do as you like

Ying'er and his wife came early. When they first arrived at the theater, there weren't many people there. It wasn't until it was time to check in that the number of people gradually started to increase.

It can be seen from the LED screens around the ticket hall that most of the movie schedules in the theater on this day are given to the newly released "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils".

This situation is normal.

No other new movies have been released in the past two days, and various movies that have been released since last month have also hit the streets.

The theaters can't wait to give all the film schedules to "Zhou Chu Removes Three Evils".

At this time, the people who most hope that "Zhou Chu" will sell well, apart from the producer, are the bosses of major theaters.

After more than half a year of closure, rent, water, electricity, labor, and money are constantly flowing away every day like running water. Those with a strong foundation can still persist. Some theater owners who expanded aggressively when the film and television industry was booming are now heavily in debt.

Finally, the government allowed movie theaters to open, but the cold market gave everyone another blow.

After opening, there were very few customers every day, and the money earned was not enough to pay for the extra water, electricity and labor costs after reopening.

Therefore, the theaters most hope that Gu Wei's "The Three Evils" can be a big hit. On the one hand, making money, they also hope that his movie can warm up the currently icy film market and reawaken everyone's enthusiasm for watching movies.

The so-called "rescue movie" is not just talk. The current movie market really needs a blockbuster movie to boost morale.

"I didn't expect so many people to watch a movie in the morning?"

After checking in and entering the theater, she found her seat and sat down. Yinger took off her mask, took a sip of Coke and said to her husband next to her.

"It's summer vacation. Haven't you noticed that these viewers look young?"

After hearing this, Ying'er looked around and whispered, "It seems to be true."

After speaking, she sighed with emotion: "It's great to be young!"

Fu Xinbo touched her head in a funny way: "It sounds like you are so old~"

“I used to think I was a child, but now I am the mother of a child.

I feel like I’m not in the same world as these young people.”

"Haha, you will always be a cute little girl in my heart."

“So disgusting~”

Ying'er said this, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

When they first fell in love, she was more famous than Fu Xinbo and had better film and television resources.

In the end, she was able to accept the other person and get married and have children soon, which was also her recognition of Fu Xinbo.

You must know that getting married and having children for female celebrities actually has an impact on their popularity, especially when they are on the rise.

The most typical one is Liu Shishi. After getting married, his popularity immediately exploded, and his popularity plummeted. After his comeback, he was reduced to starring with Liu Yuning, a former Internet celebrity.

At present, it seems that Ying'er's original decision is still correct. Her husband treats her very well, and her family is warm, harmonious and very happy.

Not long after we sat down, the lights in the theater dimmed and a movie started playing on the big screen.

[Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils] has a total length of 134 minutes, but the rhythm is very tight. It can be said that it grasps the audience's attention tightly from the beginning, and makes everyone's spirit follow the protagonist Chen Guilin through the battle.

It can be said that there is no peeing throughout the film. For more than two hours, there were very few other sounds in the theater except for occasional exclamations.

Everyone was really attracted by the plot of this movie and completely immersed in the story.

In the last scene, Chen Guilin lay on the mat and was executed. With the sound of a gunshot, the screen went black and the end credits began to roll.

The lights in the theater came on, and everyone slowly escaped from the world created by the movie.

Fu Xinbo and his wife got up and walked out with the flow of people. They could clearly hear the comments of others.

They were probably all "It's so cool!", "Gu Wei is so handsome!", "It's a pity that Chen Guilin died after obviously killing so many bad guys!" and so on.

After walking out of the cinema, Yinger turned to look at her husband beside her.

"The scale of this movie is also too big. It's hard to imagine that the General Administration will allow it to be released." After all, they are insiders and know that compared with the wonderful plot, getting this movie released is the most difficult thing.

“I knew it would not be easy to pass the trial, so the background of the story was set in Wanwan.

This is the same as Gu Wei's "Tang Detective" series. The same theme will definitely not work in China, but changing the location abroad will do.

And I remember that some time ago during Gu Wei’s live broadcast, he said about censorship and release. With the current market situation, the censorship will be relatively relaxed.”

Yinger nodded.

"Gu Wei really broke through in this movie by playing such a role.

My impression of him is still the "Fan Xian" in the previous "Qing Yu Nian". He suddenly changed from a handsome young man to a murderous wanted criminal, which is a bit uncomfortable."

Fu Xinbo smiled slightly: "But he acted very well, didn't he~

In the movie just now, it was obvious that Gu Wei was deliberately trying to look ugly, including his skin color, hair shape, and too-large suit.

The character "Chen Guilin" is portrayed so lifelike that there is no shadow of the characters in his previous works.

I don’t know how much box office [Zhou Chu Removes Three Evils] will win, but I think Gu Wei will definitely win a lot of awards for his performance in this movie.”

Ying'er heard what Fu Xinbo said and nodded in agreement.

The two of them were walking in the mall when Yinger's phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at the phone screen and then picked up the phone.

"Hey, Tiantian~"

After chatting for a while, he hung up the phone.

Fu Xinbo listened to her phone call from the side and roughly knew the content of the conversation between the two.

"You just watched the movie and you want to watch it again with Jingtian?"

"It doesn't matter, Tiantian asked me to just accompany her, and there were some parts that I didn't quite understand just now. I'll check out the movie reviews and watch it again later."

Fu Xinbo shook his head: "Then I'll go home. I'm not worried about the nanny taking care of the children alone."

Ying'er smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work, hubby. Then you can go back. I'll wait for Tiantian here."

[Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils] was undoubtedly a box office hit after its release!

On the first day of release, it took in 246 million yuan at the box office, accounting for 64% of the national film schedule, accounting for 89% of the total national box office on that day.

This data is a very good result even in the Lunar New Year or Spring Festival period.

Many filmmakers breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this result, feeling that the recovery of the mainland film market is in sight.

In addition to the box office exceeding 200 million on the first day, "Zhou Chu Removes Three Evils" also has a very good reputation.

Douban scored 8.5 and Maoyan scored 9.7. This score is definitely a rare high score among domestic movies.

The Internet is full of news about "Zhou Chu Removes Three Evils". Some are reporting on the box office and some are interpreting the plot. The media and film critics also highly praise this movie.

Not to mention netizens, even some viewers who are more harsh on domestic films think "Zhou Chu" is a rare and good film.

[Sure enough, you have to watch Gu Wei when watching a movie, he never disappoints!

I originally went to the cinema with the idea of ​​​​supporting domestic films, but I was surprised by "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils".

It’s hard to imagine that this film was made in China. From the plot to the photography to the actors’ performances, everything is so amazing.

Although the cinema has just opened, I think this movie is the best movie of this year, bar none! 】

[One word "cool!"!

From the beginning of the funeral killings, to the pursuit of the "Aberdeen", to the killing spree in the spiritual monastery and the killing of the "Venerable", the whole movie is completed in one go, full of fun!

The review department should be commended for being able to be shown in China with this standard, it is really an improvement! 】

[As the title suggests, the film is really "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", which is both "subversive" and "exhilarating". It can be said that it perfectly integrates commercialism and artistry.

Gu Wei's performance is very exciting, it is hard to imagine that he would have the courage to try a role like "Chen Guilin".

The performances of other actors are not inferior at all. Wu Zhenyu's "Aberdeen" and Zhang Songwen's "The Lord". It is a pleasure to watch every scene between them and the protagonist! 】

[I almost always cover my eyes and avoid watching violent scenes. It hurts so much!

What gave me goosebumps was the scene of shooting the believers. It may be the only one in a domestic theatrical movie!

Who would have thought that Gu Wei has such a devilish and crazy temperament? I love him so much! 】

[Sure enough, there is a saying that makes sense: "Guilin's killer is the best in the world"! 】

[They are so crazy, but I like them so much! 】

[Zhou Chu's killing of tigers and dragons was not forgiven by his fellow villagers, and Chen Guilin's killing of the most wanted criminal was not able to escape the sanction of the law.

The prodigal son can turn back, but the human heart is unpredictable. It is easy to write the words "good" and "evil", but it is difficult to judge what is good and evil.】

[A huge crowd] The crew.

"Thank you Yinger and her husband for me for having time to have dinner together.

My crew will probably finish filming by the end of the month, and I’ll see you when [Qing Yu Nian 2] starts shooting next month.”

After chatting for a few more words, Gu Wei smiled and hung up the phone. Reba beside him blinked his big eyes curiously.

"Kageda?"

Gu Wei nodded.

"In order to support [Zhou Chu Removes Three Evils], she went to the cinema to watch the movie. She called me to congratulate me on the box office success and praised the movie for its good performance."

In the past two days, Gu Wei has received many calls from friends, congratulating him on the success of his new film.

"I also read a lot of movie-related news and reviews online. Everyone said that this movie is a rare masterpiece in recent years, and its release is an improvement in the radio and television review system.

I'm really curious as to how the movie turned out? "

Gu Wei smiled: "This is not easy. There is no night show tonight. I'll take you to see it after the show."

"Really? That's great!" Reba looked happy after hearing Gu Wei's words.

While the two were chatting, Gu Wei's cell phone rang again.

He took one look and picked it up.

"Hello~"

"Gu Wei, congratulations on the movie's success!"

Liu Yifei's slightly cheerful congratulations came from the other side of the phone.

"Haha, thank you, thank you Sissi for posting on Weibo to help me promote it.

You have a share of the credit for the movie's success." Gu Wei said with a smile.

"Hmph, then how can you thank me?" Liu Yifei seemed to be in a good mood and joked.

“I’ll treat you to dinner when I return to the capital in a few days!”

"That's it, but we have to wait a little longer in terms of time. I have to go to the United States in a few days."

"Is there any activity over there?"

"That's right, I went over to help [Mulan] with her promotions."

"Is the movie coming soon?"

He and Liu Yifei had discussed this topic before. "Mulan" was scheduled several times and postponed several times, which whetted the audience's appetite.

"That's right. In China, probably next month, Disney in North America plans to show it on streaming media in the form of on-demand. I don't know how the effect will be."

"No matter what, with Disney's global promotion capabilities and the global influence of the IP "Mulan", your popularity will definitely increase after the movie is released."

Gu Wei didn't mention the movie's box office. He knew that the future box office situation of "Mulan" would not be good.

However, even though the global box office was not ideal, the film still brought a lot of positive feedback to Liu Yifei.

As he said, after the broadcast of "Mulan", Liu Yifei's global popularity increased significantly. She was awarded various luxury goods endorsements one after another, and she also became the city spokesperson of Abu Dhabi.

The last spokesperson for Abu Dhabi before her was O'Neal.

"I hope so.

By the way, I went to the cinema to watch [Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils], and it was really well shot.

No wonder it achieved such good box office results.

How did you come up with the idea of ​​playing such a crazy character? "

"I just want to try different types of movies and roles. I like fresh things and challenges the most."

"very nice."

After the show ended in the evening, Gu Wei took Reba to a nearby cinema to watch "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" as promised.

Reba couldn't calm down for a long time after coming out of the cinema.

"It's okay to shoot like this. I didn't feel deeply after reading the news and netizen comments before. Now that I've read it, I understand why so many people say that the release of "Zhou Chu Removes Three Evils" is an improvement in the domestic review system."

Gu Wei smiled: "I set the background of the story in Bayan. It will be easier for you to accept this movie as a Bayan film."

Reba turned to look at Gu Wei: "The story of this movie seems simple and absurd. A wanted criminal wants to eliminate two wanted criminals in order to prove that he is the strongest!

But it is logical and profound. I feel that the expressions in many places have deeper meanings, but I just can’t figure it out clearly yet.”

Gu Wei smiled and hugged her: "If you don't understand, don't think about it. Go back and read the movie reviews.

Today's audiences analyze movies more clearly than directors, just like they did when they were children learning Chinese texts.

It’s all clear after reading what they said.”

Reba slapped him angrily.

"You even asked me to read a review of your movie~"

Gu Wei hugged Reba and said with a smile: "Okay, if you have any questions, I will tell you slowly when I get back."

After the first day, as it entered the weekend, the box office of "The Three Evils" did not decrease but increased slightly. It received 273 million and 265 million respectively in the two weekend days.

The total box office in the first three days was 783 million yuan.

After entering the second working week, there was a slight decline, but the single-day box office still exceeded 100 million.

On August 14, the fifth day of release of "Zhou Chu Removes Three Evils", the total box office officially exceeded 1 billion yuan, becoming the first domestic film released in 2020 to achieve a box office of more than 1 billion yuan.

Driven by "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", the box office of other movies released during the same period increased slightly.

In the eyes of insiders, this movie has really rekindled the enthusiasm of the film market, and is worthy of its name as a "rescue movie."
