China Entertainment's whatever you want

Chapter 249 I'm Really Fake

Liu Yifei was arranged by Gu Wei to a seat in the front row, and soon the premiere officially began.

The main actors of the crew came to the center of the stage under the leadership of director Su Youpeng.

Gu Wei stood beside Director Su, his height of 185 made him stand out from the group of actors.

Although the official heights of Yang Yang and Ou Hao are 180cm, the actual difference is quite large.

The actors on the stage first introduced themselves, and then the host began to ask some questions one after another.

The host of the premiere is Liu Yan from Enlight Media. She wore a dark blue cheongsam today, showing off her curvy figure.

"Excuse me, Director Su, I heard that Guangguang came to you first, but you refused at first, do you have any concerns?"

The host first asks questions to the director.

"Yes, at first I found it incredible that I didn't even want to see each other.

The agent said that he is also the boss of Guangguang, so he should speak face-to-face out of etiquette.

I went to Mr. Wang's office that day, and it was relaxed and calm. I told him that I don't know how to direct, and I really don't know anything.

But he said it seemed to be a very simple matter, as if I would be too ignorant to refuse it.I just said okay, I'll read the novel. "

Su Youpeng's answer drew a burst of laughter from the audience.

"But you still directed it in the end. Compared with other youth films, what do you think is the most special?"

“I think [the left ear] still has something to attract me.

It became popular 10 years ago because of the story, popular and beautiful.

From an artistic point of view, those who are familiar with me know my standards for accepting plays, and I am not interested in anything that is not challenging. "

After asking the director a few questions, the host brought the topic back to Gu Wei.

"May I ask Gu Wei, why did you accept the movie [Left Ear]? As far as I know, this is the first youth-themed movie you have accepted."

Gu Wei took the microphone and said:
"First of all, I was interested in the story of [Left Ear]. I read the script several times after I got it, and felt that this story is different from ordinary youth films, and the male protagonist is not a good man in the traditional sense.

I found it challenging to play such a character.

Then there is director Su Youpeng. I grew up watching his TV series and am a fan of his. "

Speaking of Gu Wei, he turned his head to look at Su Youpeng, and Director Su also looked at him with a smile.

"It is also a very happy thing to be able to cooperate with a childhood idol in a movie now."

"Then Gu Wei, which movie directed by Su do you like the most?"

The moderator then asked about this topic.

Gu Wei looked at Lin Xinru and Gu Juji who came today and said:

"Of course it's [Yi Tian Tu Long Ji], Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen in it are so beautiful, I loved watching them the most when I was young!"

Su Youpeng on the side laughed and said:
"You are not my fan, you are envious of Zhang Wuji, who I played in [Yi Tian Tu Long Ji]~"

This remark drew another burst of laughter from the audience.

"Then Director Su, what's your opinion on Gu Wei, the hero?"

Su Youpeng thought for a while and said:

"To be honest, when the film was being prepared, someone suggested that Gu Wei be the leading actor, but I didn't hold out hope.

Because I am just a new director, and this movie is a romance movie with a small investment. Gu Wei was at the time when it was a big hit, so I think there is a high probability that he will not like this movie.

And his film crew can't afford him.

Later, Mr. Wang from Guangguang told me to invite me to try it. As long as Gu Weiken participated in the performance, he could make up for any budget gap.

Unexpectedly, after we sent the script, Gu Wei quickly agreed, and he heard that our budget was limited, so he offered to convert the remuneration into the investment, so that we would have enough money for the filming.

Later, during the filming, Gu Wei also showed the level that a professional actor should have, and he also helped me a lot during the filming.

So I have always been very grateful to him. "

Next, the host's questions mainly focused on Gu Wei, and brought along other actors by the way.

Finally, I asked Su Youpeng how high he expected the movie's box office to be.

"[Left Ear] is my first directorial film. I feel that I have done my best. I don't demand much in terms of box office. As long as I can get back the cost in the end, I will be very satisfied!"

Su Youpeng said it very modestly, and these are indeed the most sincere thoughts in his heart.

The host asked Gu Wei again.

"Some time ago, there was a very good action war movie [Wolf Warrior] on the market, which sold more than 5 million at the box office. The director of that movie, Brother Jing, also came to the scene today."

Wu Jing in the auditorium below the stage waved to Gu Wei.

"I feel that although [Left Ear] has a different subject matter, it is as good a Chinese-language film as [Wolf Warrior], so I think there should be no problem if the box office exceeds 5 million."

As soon as the words fell, the media in the audience talked a lot.

Although the domestic movie market is getting bigger and bigger, there are still very few movies with high box office.

Prior to this, the highest box office of a youth-themed movie was Zhao Wei's "To Our Dying Youth" with 7.2 million yuan.

But that was the result of the right time, place and people. When "To Our Dying Youth" was released, it once occupied more than 50% of the domestic film schedule at that time.

Although the actors are not as popular as Gu Wei, Zhao Youting, Han Geng, Yang Zishan, and Jiang Shuying are all well-known.

[Left Ear] It seems that only Gu Wei is taking the leading role, and the most important thing is that [Fast and Furious 7] is still raging in the market and reaping the box office.

The great director Li Yu directed Fan Bingbing and Han Geng's "All Things Grow" was smashed when it was released last week. The box office has not exceeded [-] million in a week, and it is already determined to see the box office trend.

Everyone felt that even with Gu Wei's current popularity and his fans' overwhelming support, it would be good for [Left Ear] to have a box office of more than 2 million.

It's not that everyone is not optimistic about him, it's just that the time is not right now, if it were any other time, the 5 million that Gu Wei said would not be hopeless.

The interview session of the premiere ended quickly, the lights in the auditorium dimmed, and the movie [Left Ear] began to be shown on the big screen.

Xu Mao is a professional film critic, and he was also invited by Enlight Media to attend the premiere of "Left Ear".

At first I thought it was just a low-budget youth movie, only Gu Wei had something to watch, but I didn't expect many stars to come to the premiere.

Needless to say, Lin Xinru and Gu Juji are friends of Director Su. Xu Zheng was probably invited to the stage by Enlight, and the investor of "Thailand" is Enlight Media.

What he didn't expect was that director Wu Jing, who has been very popular recently, also came, and he went to see "Wolf Warrior" a few days ago.

Objectively speaking, the movie was well made. Although it is indeed a bit self-indulgent, but if you think about it carefully, which of the Hollywood action blockbusters is not self-indulgent, it is logically untenable.

And Liu Yifei, this big beauty rarely participates in such activities.

It seems that Gu Wei still has a lot of face!
Xu Mao habitually took out a small notebook and a pen, as a professional film critic, these are essential.

He already had the red envelope from Guang Guang in his pocket, and he had made up his mind that as long as the movie wasn't too bad, he would blow it up.

Don't think of film critics as high-ranking, film critics also have to eat.

The film is unfolded from the perspective of "Li Er" played by the heroine Chen Duling.

"This heroine is very pure. Although her acting skills are average, she is very suitable for this role. Playing a middle school student is not at all inconsistent~"

Xu Mao looked at it and thought.

The movie soon got to the scene where the three male protagonists play basketball together, and all the main actors in this scene are present.

When "Zhang Yang" played by Gu Wei took off his hat and shirt to reveal his angular muscles, Liu Yifei's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"How come you didn't notice that Gu Wei has such a good figure during filming and dinner?"

Wu Jing also whispered.

"The muscle lines on this kid's body are more obvious than mine. How did you train?"

After a basketball game, the second female lead "Li Bala" played by Ma Chun fell hopelessly in love with "Zhang Yang".

This plot, which was the most controversial in the original version, now looks very reasonable. After all, Gu Wei has taken off his shirt, so which girl can not be tempted by his looks and figure.

Just like Yang Guo played by Gu Tianle, with Bai Gu's appearance, it seems reasonable to encounter Yang Guo's mistake for life.

For example, Ou Hao's role as "Zhang Yang" in the original version can only be said to be a bit handsome, but it is not as good as our handsome and self-aware teacher Yang Yang.

The plot developed normally. "Xu Yi" played by Yang Yang fell because of his feelings, and "Li Bala" played by Ma Chun died in a car accident due to a misunderstanding.

Many years later, Gu Wei and Chen Duling returned to the town again, the pain of youth was healed by time, they all forgave their former selves, and started a new life.

At the end of the movie, the lights in the auditorium went on.

Liu Yifei's nose felt a little sour.

She is an emotional person, and she always reads some youth-themed novels. Although she has never experienced it, the emotion shown in the movie [Left Ear] still touches her very much.

After the screening, the main creator and his team came to the stage to answer some questions from the reporters present.

Some celebrities who came to support also came on stage to express encouragement to the main creators.

Among the stars, Mr. Li Mingqi, who is 79 years old, is particularly eye-catching.

She seemed a little excited when the former "Han Zhu Ge Ge" crew gathered again. After praising Su Youpeng's movie, she saw that Lin Xinru was also present, and said solemnly:
"Because I stabbed her with a needle in [Huan Zhu Ge Ge], people all over the country hated me for many years.

But ours is really a fake prick, I just hold the tip of the needle and prick it, all the force is on my face. "

As soon as the voice fell, everyone burst into laughter.

After the premiere, Gu Wei sent Wu Jing away first, and then came to Liu Yifei.

"Congratulations, the movie was shot very well, and your male lead is also great. I believe the 5 million box office you said will come true."

Liu Yifei said softly, her eye circles still a little red.

"Sister Yifei still believes in me. These media will probably report my bragging tomorrow."

"If you are always successful, others will believe it next time you blast~"

Liu Yifei pursed her lips and smiled, as gorgeous as a hundred flowers blooming.

The two of them didn't pay attention when they were chatting, and some reporters who didn't go out were secretly taking photos of the two of them together.

"By the way, Sister Yifei, I will host some friends from the film crew for dinner later, do you want to come with me?"

Liu Yifei was a little moved, but after thinking about it, she still rejected Gu Wei's invitation.

"When you have time, let's get together alone. I'm not used to gathering with strangers. I'm a little socially phobic, and I feel awkward~"

"No problem, next time I will ask you alone!"
