Huayu’s ex-husband

Chapter 182 181. Mainland’s fourth director has basically been confirmed

"Silver Driver" exceeded 100 million in 8 days, which also made Wei Wu's little fan girl Jing Tian feel very happy.

How to describe this feeling? It should be the feeling of satisfaction when something you like is widely recognized by everyone!

Moreover, she also attended the premiere, took photos with Wei Wu, and added each other's contact information, which made her even more proud.

It’s incredible, Wei Wu is really amazing!

For other mainland directors, a box office of over 100 million seems to be an unattainable goal.

It’s so difficult, so difficult that just thinking about it makes me think it’s impossible!

In fact, let alone over 100 million! Let’s break ten million first! Objectively speaking, it is quite difficult to break 10 million!

In fact, there were only 30 movies in total that had a box office of over 10 million in mainland China last year.

If it was the year before last or earlier, there might not even have been 30 units.

Just from this, we have to cut out almost 15 Hollywood movies and 10 Hong Kong movies, and then we have to cut out two or three works by Zhang Chenfeng.

This means that the rest may only be one or two films by non-famous directors that can gross over 10 million at the box office.

There are only 1 or 2 places a year, so how can it be possible for you to get your turn?

In addition, even with Zhang Fengchen, not every movie they make can have a box office of over 100 million. Generally speaking, it has to be a blockbuster to ensure that the final box office exceeds 100 million.

But for Wei Wu, why does it seem so easy? It's just a no-brainer.

In fact, even before the release of "Silver Driver", quite a few people already recognized that Wei Wu was worthy of being named the fourth director in the Mainland.

But there are still many people who are opposed to it, thinking that Wei Wu is too young and has too little qualifications to hold the title for the time being.

However, the performance of "Silver Driver" exceeded 100 million in 8 days, which was a great morale boost for Wei Wu's supporters, and the opposition was quickly defeated and ceased.

At least for now, it can be said that Wei Wu's identity as the fourth mainland director has been basically confirmed.

After all, as of now, in the history of mainland films over the years, there are only 12 movies with a box office of over 100 million, and Wei Wu has already occupied two of them.

Chen Kaige is one of the three major directors in Mainland China. So far, he only has one "The Promise" with a box office of over 100 million, which has been surpassed by Wei Wu.

There is a saying, if he didn't have the Palme d'Or trophy to control the situation, I'm afraid there would be many people who just watch the excitement and don't think it's a big deal, and would rank him below Wei Wu.

Zhang Yimougui is the number one director in Mainland China. So far, he has only two films with a box office of over 100 million, namely "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers".

Finally, there is Feng Xiaogang. As the king of mainland commercial films in the first generation, he also only had two films with a box office of over 100 million.

One is "A World Without Thieves", and the other is "The Banquet" which has not been released yet.

Even though Wei Wu has only been out for a year and has only released three movies, if we look at the mainland box office, the cumulative box office of his works has obviously exceeded 99% of directors in the mainland at this time.

Basically, there are only two directors whose works have higher cumulative box office than him:

Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou.

Jing Tian couldn't help but sigh, Wei Wu is so awesome now! In a few years, who else can stop him?

What a pity, why did such a powerful person become someone else's fiancé?

Alas, I really should have taken the Nortel exam earlier, but it’s too late to apply now!

After sighing and envying Liu Tianxian every day, Jing Tian turned on the computer again and prepared to visit the Tianya Forum to read the latest comments about this movie.

In fact, she has been brushing it every day for this week, not for anything else but for the sense of recognition that she has found her soulmate.

Jing Tian felt relieved when he saw that there were so many people online who liked this movie as much as he did.

"I never thought that our mainland directors could also make such a movie! Brothers, the era of Chinese-language films belongs to Wei Wu! I look forward to Director Wei's next work!"

"You are so smooth-talking, you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"

"It turns out that Wei Wu is indeed better than Ning Hao. Compared with "Crazy Stone", his technique is more proficient, the rhythm is smoother, and the story is better told. It can be said that every aspect is a step up from "The Stone"."

"Sorry Sir, I have already said that he is really not in the room. Sorry, our hotel is very international and we have to protect the guests' secrets. This line almost made me laugh to death!"

"Wei Wu has no doubt the hope of Chinese-language films. Although he imitates Guy Ritchie's style, it is already the ceiling for domestic comedy films."

"The multi-line narrative has witnessed Wei Wu's excellent control over movies. The script is really well written, and it is gripping and smooth under careful logic. The perfect combination of action, suspense, and humor has created this rare comedy classic. "

"The most perfect paid movie viewing experience! It's funny and good-looking. I almost became a fan of Huang Bo because of this movie."

"If you haven't seen "Silver Driver", Ning Hao is the future director of China in my mind; but after watching the movie Wei Wu, I just lamented that in the world of talent and aura, why do I only love this one person?"

…

"Silver Driver" is still in theaters, but since the end of the road show, Wei Wu has quickly returned to the crew of "Painted Skin" and officially took over the filming from Lu Yang.

After all, if Wei Wu doesn't come back, the crew will stop working! Mainly Lu Yang has almost finished filming the less important scenes.

"Thank you for your hard work, senior brother!"

Lu Yang quickly shook his head and said, "It's not hard, I just go to work at midnight every day, what's the point of hard work?

"It's really hard on your side. You ran a road show for half a month. I've heard a little bit about how tiring road shows can be."

Wei Wu pretended to be cool and said: "Hey, it's not the first time anyway, I'm used to it!"

Lu Yang immediately began to compliment: "Well, but these are definitely worth it, after all, this junior brother has added a glorious new chapter to his resume.

"Two movies in one year have a box office of over 100 million. This is the first time in mainland film history! Who else can do it besides you?"

This is true, after all, Zhang Chenfeng and others, even Feng Xiaogang, who has the highest output, can only make one movie a year at most.

Products with such high output and high quality like Wei Wu's are extremely rare even in the world, let alone in the mainland.

Wei Wu felt quite satisfied, but he still expressed his customary modesty:

"I'm lucky, mainly because the last movie "Those Years" broke 100 million, so it will be much easier to break 100 million next time!"

Lu Yang was speechless for a moment, he didn't even know how to answer this!

Wei Wu's words may sound okay at first glance, but the question is, how did the first movie break 100 million?

If it is really that easy to break the 100 million mark, then in mainland film history, there will not be only 12 movies that have exceeded the 100 million mark!

And except for Wei Wu's two films, the other ten movies basically relied on blockbusters to achieve box office of over 100 million.

Wei Wu was the only one who was able to create miracles by relying on his small skills and one small and medium-sized movie to continuously exceed 100 million yuan.

His success has given many colleagues a glimmer of hope.

It turns out that as long as the quality of the work is good enough, audiences will naturally buy it. There is also spring for small and medium-sized projects, and it does not necessarily have to be a big production to achieve good box office results.
