Chapter 286 285. "The Left Ear" surpassed "The Disciple" at the box office

"Aren't you working on the post-production of "囧囧" now? Why do you have time to fool around at my place? Where is Liu Tianxian?"

Wei Wu kissed Yang Mi and replied: "As soon as the road show of "Left Ear" is over, I will go to shoot "Harbin at Night"!"

Although Wei Wu is now responsible for the post-production work of "囧囧", things are different from the past. Now he only uses his words and does not use his hands.

Through continuous recruitment and poaching, Wei Guo Pictures has now become strong, with dubbing, editing, soundtrack, color correction, special effects... all departments and positions are filled with industry leaders who are unique in their own right.

Therefore, in the later stages of Wei Wu's film production, Wei Wu no longer has to do everything himself. He is only responsible for overall planning and grasping the general direction.

Now he only needs to explain his requirements and the results he hopes to achieve in detail to the leaders of each team.

Then let them implement it according to their own will, and finally let him review and accept it.

Yang Mi brought him a plate of longan and sat next to him, peeling off the peel and feeding it to him. Wei Wu naturally enjoyed it.

Her slender fingers were like finely carved jade, moist and smooth, and it seemed that you could feel the warmth of her fingertips with just a touch.

Wei Wu felt itchy and deliberately held her slender fingers while eating the pulp.

"I won't let you eat if you mess around again!"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes at him, then wiped his clothes twice in disgust, wiping off the saliva on her fingers.

Wei Wu laughed loudly, and then received two slaps on the shoulder.

"The director of "Harbin at Night" is Guo Jinyu, right?"

Wei Wu nodded: "Yes, it's him."

Yang Mi has heard of director Guo Jinyu. After all, he was nominated for Best Director in Magnolia last year and the year before last, so he is not an ordinary person.

Guo Jinyu himself is very capable, and coupled with the projects Wei Wu chose for him, it seems that the drama "Harbin at Night" is definitely going to be a hit again.

Yang Mi is now extremely confident in Wei Wu's vision. After all, facts speak louder than words. She once had high hopes for "Wang Zhaojun", which she thought would be a hit, but even her mother didn't recognize it.

On the contrary, it was a Taiwanese puppet drama "Sheep Herding Star" that Wei Wu randomly selected for her. Inexplicably, it became popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and even won the annual ratings championship on the other side of the Taiwan Strait.

As Wei Wu predicted before, the role of Xia Zhixing directly became Yang Mi's representative role.

These days, if you don't have your own representative role, it is basically difficult to be promoted to the top level.

It’s useless if your TV series is just popular or if your movie has high box office. If you want to be in the top tier, you must have a representative character that is familiar to the audience.

In his previous life, why did Fan Bingbing become the number one celebrity in domestic entertainment after the broadcast of "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang" in 2015?

It's because after Jinsuo, she has her second representative role - Wu Meiniang, so everything fell into place!

"Did you appoint Liu Tianxian to be the heroine of this drama?"

Wei Wu quickly shook his head: "This is really not the case. I have already said that at most I will only assist novice directors in casting and help with suggestions.

“But for those senior directors, I will fully respect their creative freedom, and I will not be the emperor who dictates unless necessary.

"All the roles in this drama were chosen by Guo Jinyu himself. Well, he couldn't find a suitable candidate except Yuji Ichiro, so I helped him recommend one."

Yang Mi said in a dull voice: "Oh."

Originally, Yang Mi was a little complacent, even though she missed "Snow Leopard" because of "Sheep Star"——

But "Snow Leopard" is a male-led drama after all, and the female characters, including Liu Tianxian, did not benefit as much as imagined.

However, I didn't expect that Liu Tianxian would get an unexpected bonus from filming "Snow Leopard". Because she became familiar with the assistant director Guo Jinyu during the filming of this drama, it was natural and logical for her to automatically become the heroine of Guo Jinyu's new drama.

If it's one for two, then Liu Tianxian's benefits will definitely be greater than his own!

Although his fame has risen rapidly in recent times, Liu Tianxian's fame has also risen rapidly now, and the gap between the two has no obvious trend of narrowing.

Alas, if this continues, when will I be able to catch up with her?

No, I can't sit still and wait for death, I have to do something...

Regardless of whether Liu Tianxian did it intentionally or not, in short, she has now gained such a powerful helper in Guo Jinyu, and she has to find a backup as soon as possible.

Hey, I heard that director Chen Mingzhang seemed to have just been recruited. It seems that I have to go and talk about my old lesbian relationship quickly.

I had a great time working with him on "Sheep Stars" before. If I could win him over, I would have another bargaining chip against Liu Tianxian in the future.

Thinking of this, Yang Mi suddenly felt much more relaxed:

"I heard that the box office of "Left Ear" exceeded 50 million?"

Wei Wu nodded: "As of 15 days after its release yesterday, the total box office has reached 54.02 million."

"The Left Ear" hit major theaters on September 30 with a high 30% screening rate, and its premiere box office was as high as 4.9 million.

The film earned 6.18 million, 7.66 million, 6.76 million, 6.05 million, 4.42 million, 3.63 million, and 3.25 million respectively during the National Day holiday.

The seven-day National Day Golden Week grossed a total of 37.95 million in box office, plus the first-day box office of 4.9 million and the advance screening box office of 450,000, the cumulative box office reached 43.3 million.

Yang Mi drooped her eyebrows and sighed, "It's only been released for half a month, and the box office of "Left Ear" has surpassed our "Youth"!"

The final box office of "Youth" was 52.45 million, temporarily ranking seventh of the year.

No, it's already eighth of the year. Because the box office of "Left Ear" has officially surpassed it.

But there are still three blockbusters this year that have not been released: "Lust, Caution" (11.01), "The Warlords" (12.12) and "Assembly" (12.20).

If these three movies are released one by one, then "Left Ear" can only be squeezed to the eleventh place of the year.

Wei Wu knew that Yang Mi had been secretly competing in her heart. Of course, she would not be happy that the box office was surpassed by Liu Tianxian.

So Wei Wu peeled a longan and handed it over to comfort her:

"The main reason for "Left Ear" is that the original novel is too famous, and the movie is naturally popular, so it has taken advantage.

"If "Left Ear" is not adapted from a best-selling book, its box office will definitely not be as good as your "Youth". ”

After hearing what Wei Wu said, Yang Mi felt better, spit out the seed and asked:

"What is the final box office of "Left Ear"? "

Wei Wu thought for a while and said: "There is still half a month before the movie ends, and it must take another 10 million yuan. So the final box office will be between 66 million and 68 million!"

Yang Mi was a little surprised: "It can actually surpass "Disciple"? "

Wei Wu nodded and said: "Well, it should be!"

Yang Mi said with a sense of loss: "Then Liu Tianxian is really awesome this time! I guess even she herself didn't expect that the box office of the movie she starred in could actually surpass Liu Tianwang. ”

This is not a good response, Wei Wu could only smile.

"Disciple" was released during the Lunar New Year holiday last year, specifically on February 13 this year (Valentine's Day), with a final box office of 65 million, temporarily ranking sixth in the year.

If nothing unexpected happens, the year-end summary will be that "Left Ear" ranks ninth in the year and "Disciple" ranks tenth in the year.

However, the production cost of "Disciple" is 40 million, and "Left Ear" is only 1/5 of it.

And the cast of the two films is even more different. The director of "Disciple" is Er Dongsheng, and the starring actors are Andy Lau + Daniel Wu + Zhang Jingchu, and Louis Koo + Yuen Wing-yee + He Meitian guest star, which can be said to be a gathering of big names.

On the other hand, "Left Ear" "Left Ear" is directed by Lu Yang and stars Liu Tianxian + Zhu Yawen + Ma Tianyu + Ma Sichun. Except for Liu Tianxian, all the others are acting in movies for the first time.

With such a big gap, "Left Ear" can still come from behind, which is really eye-catching.

Naturally, in recent times, the outside world has not only taken a new look at Liu Tianxian's box office appeal, but also truly witnessed the terrifying bonus of the "Bad Monkey 72 Transformations Plan".

If this movie was not starring Liu Tianxian, and it was not labeled as "Bad Monkey 72 Transformations Movie Project" -

Then the final box office would not be able to surpass "Disciples", and even if it could be half of the current one, we would be thankful.
