  After Gu Wei returned to the team, he filmed as usual, and "Operation Mekong" was still a hit in theaters.

During the seven days of National Day and one day of premiere, [Operation Mekong] had a box office of over 8 million for 10 consecutive days. Starting from October 2, the single-day box office fell for 4 consecutive days. Only on the last day of National Day, the box office dropped slightly and the box office revenue was 1.14 million.

At the end of the National Day period, [Operation Mekong] grossed a total of 8 billion in box office in the 10.84 days after its release, and the total box office officially exceeded [-] billion.

  [Operation Mekong] After its box office exceeded [-] billion, various media outlets rushed to report on it.

Lin Chaoxian is hailed as a new generation of major theme directors. Netizens have praised his plot and action design in the movie, and feel that he has set a new path for future theme movies.

Zhang Hanyu, one of the leading actors, has also been widely praised by the audience. Everyone recognized his positive role as a soldier and policeman and thought it was very consistent with his own temperament.

Of course, the real focus of public opinion is Gu Wei, who is the absolute star of the movie.

Before the release of "Operation Mekong", many people were not optimistic about his appearance this time, thinking that this main theme police action film was the beginning of Gu Wei's fall from the altar.

At that time, this argument was quite popular.

Most viewers feel that with the participation of Gu Wei, "Operation Mekong" may not be a hit at the box office, but it will definitely be no problem to make back the money or even make a small profit.

At that time, it was generally believed that the box office limit of this movie was about 5 million.

After all, police and gangster action movies have never received high box office revenue. Even with the addition of Gu Wei, some people are not optimistic about whether it can break the previous record.

In fact, this box office figure is not low, but it is much worse than Gu Wei's previous movies.

If this result is achieved in the end, many people will definitely jump out to badmouth Gu Wei, thinking that his box office appeal is nothing more than this.

After [Operation Mekong] was released, it became a hit at the box office and quickly slapped many people in the face with the facts.

Now the movie's second week has not yet ended, and it has already entered the billion-dollar box office club, and it is also the only main theme movie among domestic movies to have a box office of over one billion.

Prior to this, the film with the best theme theme was "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" directed by Xu Ke, with a box office of 8.8 million.

According to the current box office trend of the movie, it is certain that the box office will plummet after the National Day release. However, "Operation Mekong" has a high reputation. It will not be difficult to exceed [-] billion in the future. It is hard to say whether it can reach [-] billion.

However, regardless of the final box office performance of the movie, it is now a fact that it will be a hit.

The media naturally praised Gu Wei again. The major film and television companies, producers, directors and star actors in the industry once again witnessed Gu Wei's unrivaled strong box office appeal.

To be able to bring a main theme movie to such a high box office level is really amazing in this time period.

It's only 2016 now, and neither the major companies in the industry nor the moviegoers have the concept that blockbuster movies with main theme will be a hit.

In recent years, few movies with main themes have really made much money, and "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" and Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 1" are among the best.

Both "The Great Cause of Founding of the People's Republic of China" and "The Great Cause of Founding of the Party" achieved high box office by gathering celebrities.

The final film in the trilogy, "The Founding of an Army," has not yet been released. Gu Wei was approached about that film, but he did not participate due to scheduling issues.

Now the collaboration between Gu Wei, Zhang Hanyu and Lin Chaoxian has directly broken all previous records and brought the box office performance of the main theme movie to a whole new level.

Beijing, Enlight Media Headquarters.

In the president's office, Wang Changtian held a report sent by his assistant and looked at it happily.

The report contains detailed box office data for all movies currently in theaters, including the specific box office of which movie in which city, which is reflected above.

Now that the country is connected to the Internet, the data after a movie is released is becoming more and more accurate and specific.

Major film and television companies can see from the detailed box office data of movies whether the movie is popular in the south or the north, and whether it sells better in first-tier cities or in second- and third-tier cities.

These accurate data allow film companies to better control the tastes and preferences of audiences, and can more specifically find matching audience groups for future promotions.

Among the three blockbusters released on National Day, "Passing Through Your World" was jointly produced by Enlight Media and a company under Deng Chao's name, and was promoted by Enlight and Taopiaopiao.

The cost of the movie was only 7000 million, and after 10 days of release, the total box office has exceeded 5.5 million, which is a huge profit!
  Although the movie's single-day box office dropped a lot after the National Day release, it shouldn't be too difficult to get another two to three hundred million.

However, in the table, the various data of "Passing Through Your World" has always been ranked second. The real champion of the National Day movie is undoubtedly Gu Wei's "Operation Mekong".

"It's really amazing. It's so popular when you shoot it!

I don’t know if it’s because Gu Wei’s box office appeal is too strong, or if blockbusters with the main theme are about to become popular now.”

Wang Changtian naturally ignored other National Day movies including "Ace Comes with Ace" and only paid detailed attention to the films produced by his own company and "Operation Mekong".

After a while, Wang Changtian put down the data sheet in his hand and called his secretary in.

“I previously communicated with [Wei Tianxia], when will the celebration of [Detective Chinatown 2] be specifically scheduled?”

"Tang Detective 2" was officially released at the end of September. It has been in theaters for two months and has a box office of 9 billion. However, as the main producer, "Wei Tianxia" has not held a celebration party, and Guangguang has also inquired several times.

"Mr. Wang, the news from Manager Yang of [Wei Mingxia] a few days ago is that it will be held in the capital next Friday."

Wang Changtian nodded.

[Tang Detective 2] has made Guangguang a lot of money, and Gu Wei must be thanked at the celebration party.

The most important thing is that he also wants to have a chance to explore the other party's tone and when preparations for the third part will begin.

[Tang Detective 2] There is an Easter egg left at the end of the movie. The third part is obviously going to Tokyo, but it is Gu Wei who has the final say as to when it will be filmed and how it will look like.

As far as he knows, there is no sign of preparations for "Tang Detective 3" so far. Gu Wei himself has been busy with his other film and television dramas, and there is no "Tang Detective" in the announced film list of "Wei Tomorrow". 3].

With the foundation of the first two films, Wang Changtian couldn't imagine what kind of height the final box office of the third film would reach.

But no matter what, it will be an extremely sweet big cake, and the knife for dividing the cake is in Gu Wei's hand, and it is up to him to decide how much light can be divided into it.

At the same time, the president's office of Huayi Brothers.

Brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei are also discussing the box office of the National Day movie market.

"Gu Wei is really awesome. The box office of his main theme movie has brought him to such a high level. This box office appeal is really amazing!

I'm not surprised that Guangguang's "Passing Through Your World" has such good results. Deng Chao has been really popular in recent years.

However, Andy Lau and Xiao Ming’s comedies also failed miserably. Together with Wang Jing’s fame, they took over 7 million at the box office in just seven days during the National Day holiday. [Ace Funny Ace] probably won’t be able to make back its money.”

Wang Zhonglei sat on the sofa at the bottom of the office and sighed while making tea.

"This result is also normal. Andy Lau and Nickname have made too many bad movies over the years, which has consumed a lot of the audience's goodwill towards them. Wang Jing is even more famous for making bad movies. The combined box office appeal of the three of them is He is not as powerful as Gu Wei.

In addition, [Ace Teases Ace] is indeed bad enough, so it’s reasonable for the audience not to buy it. "

Wang Zhongjun sat opposite him and said naturally. Although Huayi has no movies released during the National Day holiday, as the boss of the largest private film and television company in the industry, he has always paid attention to the movies released on the market.

With so many years of experience, he feels that he has a clear understanding of the reasons why a movie will be a hit or a flop after it is released.

“But having said that, I thought [Operation Mekong] was indispensable at the box office, but it’s still beyond my expectation that it has become such a hit!”

After Wang Zhongjun finished speaking, he picked up the teacup, blew on it, and took a sip.

"Brother, haven't you always been very optimistic about Gu Wei?"

Wang Zhonglei asked a little strangely.

"I'm optimistic. I used to think that with Gu Wei's box office appeal, it would be enough to bring the final box office of "Operation Mekong" to 10 billion. I didn't expect that it had already exceeded 10 billion just after the National Day. Now it is expected to reach 20 billion. ah!

I underestimated Gu Wei's popularity and also underestimated Lin Chaoxian's ability.

Director Lin is not an easy person. I have watched the movie and it was quite good and of high quality.

When "Operation Mekong" was first released, it was obviously Gu Wei who brought the first wave of traffic. If it is a movie of average quality, it will only get this wave. If the reputation is not good later, the box office will plummet.

[Operation Mekong] relied on its super high quality to catch this wave of traffic. Word of mouth spread, and the box office naturally soared! "

Wang Zhongjun analyzed in detail the reasons why [Operation Mekong River] was such a hit.

"Haha~
  I think Xiang Huaqiang from [China Star] must not be very happy now.

Boehner also did the promotion. His "Legend of the Gods" was a flop, but Boehner's own movie was a hit. The two movies were released only more than a month apart. I would definitely think that Boehner didn't try his best at that time. ! "

Wang Zhongjun shook his head.

"Xiang Huaqiang still has the same old mentality of big investors and big stars, and failure is doomed.

By the way, have you communicated with Gu Wei about the start-up time of [Predecessor 3]? "

"We made an agreement with him some time ago, and according to his schedule, it is scheduled to start filming at the end of November."

Wang Zhongjun nodded.

"Very good~
  The company's main film project in the second half of this year will be "The Ex 3", so we must not make any mistakes! "

"clear."

[You Are My Glory] crew.

Gu Wei came out to rest after filming a scene and saw Tian Xiwei talking to Jiang Peiyao on her cell phone.

"What are you talking about, so happy?"

Reba, who had played with him, also cast a curious look.

Xiaotian turned his head and looked at Gu Wei's excited face.

"Brother Wei, there's been a lot of news about you on the Internet recently. [Operation Mekong] has been a hit, and all the media and netizens are praising you!"

What Tian Xiwei said didn't surprise Gu Wei at all. To be precise, he was used to this kind of praise.

"What do you say?"

Xiaotian rolled his eyes.

“Say that you are the number one box-office person in domestic movies, a box-office elixir, and whatever you act in will make you popular.

By the way, I see that there is a media that has calculated all the movies you have shot since your debut, including the still-showing "Operation Mekong", and said that the total box office of the movies starring you, Brother Wei, has exceeded [-] billion! "

As soon as she said this, Reba and Jiang Peiyao, who were sitting next to her, took a breath of surprise and looked at Gu Wei eagerly.

"I haven't paid attention to this, and I have never calculated it specifically, but when you say it, it seems to be about the same."

Gu Wei was not too surprised. For him, it is not difficult to achieve a box office of tens of billions. "Wolf Warrior 2" has not yet been released. This result will be achieved sooner or later, but it is still a bit unexpected to arrive so early.

He touched his chin and looked slightly, mentally calculating the box office of the movies he made in the past few years since his debut.

【绣春刀1、2】分别拿了2亿和10亿，【唐探1、2】分别是10亿和39亿，【左耳】8亿，【捉妖记】26亿，还有正在上映的【湄公河行动】已经拿了10亿多。

It’s not unknown that the total box office of the movies he starred in has reached 105 billion. Among them, "Operation Mekong" is still collecting box office. By the time it is released, the total box office will definitely exceed 110 billion.

Just as he was thinking about it, Gu Wei's cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Yang Liwen.

"Hey, Sister Yang~
  I know, okay, no problem.

This is also a good thing. Normal publicity is enough. These achievements of mine are not watery. It’s okay to make fans happy and happy.

You say hello to Bona, this is also a good publicity for [Operation Mekong] that is currently being released."

After chatting for a few words, Gu Wei hung up the phone.

The company obviously also noticed that Gu Wei's personal box office performance exceeded [-] billion, and Yang Liwen called him and asked him if he wanted to use this to promote it.

If it were an ordinary star, his agent and the team behind him would have already started buying the draft, but Gu Wei did not lack this traffic, and he was usually relatively low-key. Yang Liwen was not sure whether he was willing to be in the limelight, so she Give me a call for instructions.

Gu Wei thinks this is a good opportunity to promote the movie. He has always been good at making use of every promotional point when his works are released.

"I just did some calculations, and the total box office of the movies I starred in did exceed 105 billion. It should be more than [-] billion now."

Gu Wei said with a smile to the three people around him.

"Wow, Brother Wei, you are indeed my idol, you are so awesome!!

I feel like it would be great if I could achieve one-tenth of your achievements as an actor in the future~"

Tian Xi slightly opened her big round eyes and said exaggeratedly.

Reba and Jiang Peiyao also looked at him with admiration.

One of them is in the theater and the other is Beijing Film Academy. They both graduated with acting majors. They know what an amazing achievement it is to star in a movie with a box office of over [-] billion.

It can be said that in terms of domestic entertainment at present, Gu Wei is the only one who belongs to Scorpion.

Although it is not unprecedented, it is certainly unprecedented.
