China Entertainment's whatever you want

Several days of previews quickly made the word of "Life Events" spread widely, and the roadshow of the main creative team also made the popularity of the movie even higher.

From time to time, viewers will see short videos about [major life events] on short video platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou.

Some are trailers, some are excerpts from a roadshow, and some are people showing off that they bought tickets for the advance screening of "Life Events".

Some of these short videos were uploaded by the film's promotion and marketing team, but most of them were spontaneous actions by fans who had watched the preview.

There have been unanimous positive reviews for "Life Events" on all major platforms, with the media and film critics giving it 100% praise, which has made many netizens who have not seen the movie even more curious.

[This is definitely the most surprising movie in the first half of the year. The film not only focuses on life and death, but also includes family, friendship and so on.

Gu Wei always brings different surprises to people. Compared with his previous works "Better Days" and "Send You a Little Red Flower", his acting skills in "Life Events" are even more sophisticated and subtle.

I feel that the role of "Mo Sanmei" is definitely worthy of an award for Best Actor! 】

【I am in Wuhan. I am very happy to be able to participate in the roadshow of the movie "Life Events" and I am also lucky to meet the main creators of the movie.

As an old audience who has been watching Gu Wei's movies since "The Blade of the Assassin", it is really a happy thing to be able to see Gu Wei himself on the spot.

But what surprised me even more was that the movie "Life Events" was unexpectedly brilliant.

The film is a down-to-earth film that can warm and heal people. It is spoken in Wuhan dialect throughout, which is very immersive! 】

[It's great! I couldn't wait to rate it after watching it! It's been a long time since I saw such a funny, down-to-earth and meaningful movie.

The whole audience was crying and laughing. The louder the laughter, the uglier the crying. I felt like a fool! 】

[It is definitely the best movie of the year. It makes you laugh without being awkward and cry without being hypocritical. The whole movie is warm and soothing to the soul]

[Gu Wei's performance was so amazing, he brought the character of Mo Sanmei to life, making her look both badass and warm, a tough guy with a soft heart, making people temporarily forget all the roles he has played.

I strongly recommend everyone to go to the cinema to watch this movie. It can be said to be the best movie I have seen since the epidemic! 】

[Located in Shanghai, a movie lover.

I'm not a fan of Gu Wei, but I've seen most of his movies.

To be honest, over the years, Gu Wei has basically established a good reputation. Every time his movie is released, I subconsciously feel that the movie will be good.

Sure enough, "Life Events" did not disappoint me.

And I even think this is the best movie he has made since his debut, it is plain, warm and touching! 】

[It looks good. It’s really super good looking!]

The process of watching this movie is a process of reconciling with life and yourself. Just like what is said in the movie, "Nothing is more important than death." If you think about work and life, there is actually nothing that you can't overcome.

Haha, my friend and I cried and laughed the whole time we watched the movie. My friend was so emotional that even a pack of tissues was not enough. I really liked the old man, San Ge and Xiao Wen in the movie! 】

【.】

Amidst all the praise and positive reviews, after 6 days of previews, "Life Events" reaped a total of 5000 million in preview box office and more than 2 million in pre-sale box office.

There are more and more discussions about the movie on the Internet. The Maoyan platform has marked 108 million people as wanting to watch the movie, ranking first on Maoyan’s recent want-to-watch list, far exceeding the second place [Raging Fire] with 26 people.

Friday, January 7th.

【Life Events】is officially released.

On the first day of its release, it earned 54 million yuan at the box office with 2.16% of the national screening rate, and then earned 3.04 million and 2.87 million yuan respectively in the two days of the weekend. The total box office for the first three days of the week exceeded 9 million yuan, which set off this year's summer season with its exaggerated results.

Driven by "Life Events", the box office of "Raging Fire" which was released on the same day was unexpectedly good.

It earned 2.8 million yuan in box office revenue in the first three days, ranking only behind "Life Events".

Hengdian, the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions".

"Sister Yan, have you read the news these past two days? Teacher Gu Wei's new movie is a hit again, and I heard that it's getting very good reviews!"

“I know, [Life Events] has been trending on the search list for several days.

Recently, I always see promotional videos about this drama when I browse Douyin.

It's been less than a week and the box office has already exceeded 1 billion, which is almost enough to lock in the championship of this summer's box office.

The key point is that this movie is a drama about a niche industry like funerals, which is quite exaggerated."

During the break in filming, several actresses from the crew took a rest in a shady area next to the shooting location. They were all wearing women's clothing in the style of the Song Dynasty, and the clothes were either white or green, which looked very beautiful.

It’s just that the temperature in Hengdian is relatively high in August, and the actors felt even hotter with their makeup on. Lin Yun and Liu Yan, who were chatting, each held a small handheld fan and used it as they talked.

“I don’t think it’s an exaggeration. That’s Gu Wei, so it’s normal for him to have such box office results.

This year during the Spring Festival, his film Detective Chinatown 3 broke the record of Wolf Warrior 2, with a global box office of 62 billion, which is really exaggerated."

From her tone, it was obvious that Lin Yun admired Gu Wei very much.

Liu Yan on the side glanced at her.

"It's different. Detective Chinatown 3 is a pure commercial film and a big IP. The first two films laid a good foundation. It was released during the most popular time slot, the Spring Festival, so it had such a high box office.

[Life Events] is a literary drama, and the focus of its publicity is basically on Gu Wei alone.

Many people probably didn’t expect the box office to be so good under such circumstances.”

"No matter what, Mr. Gu Wei is still amazing. I don't know how he chooses his movies, but every one of them is a big hit."

Liu Yan thought for a moment and said: "With his status, he can easily choose from the top film and television resources in the domestic entertainment industry.

In addition, Gu Wei is also the boss of a film and television company, so he has a lot of say. With the best script and a top production team, the chances of success are naturally much greater."

Lin Yun nodded, looked into the distance and said with some longing: "In fact, I have had an idea for a long time. It would be great if I could have the opportunity to film a movie with Gu Wei."

Liu Yan smiled and said, "You debuted as a "Star Girl" and have starred in Zhou Xingchi's movies. Would you still care about working with Gu Wei?"

Lin Yun curled her lips and said: "Star Girl is not so good now. Although Master Xing is very good, he is old after all.

[Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back] and [The New King of Comedy] have consumed a lot of popularity, and their appeal is no longer as strong as before.

Unless he himself returns to acting, it would be difficult to replicate the success of "The Mermaid".

I feel that what the current film and television industry says about how much appeal a certain big star has is all very empty talk.

Apart from Gu Wei, the only ones who are truly recognized by the audience are Wu Jing and Shen Teng. The three of them are almost the most powerful box office guarantee in the domestic entertainment industry right now."

Liu Yan was a little surprised to hear Lin Yun's analysis: "I didn't realize that you have your own ideas."

“Don’t underestimate me, you said I debuted as a star girl and grew up under the training of Mr. Zhou. I’m not a vase with only good looks.

If you look at my predecessors Zhang Yuqi and Huang Shengyi, you will know that they are not just beautiful.” Lin Yun said with some pride.

Liu Yan looked at the other person with a smile on her face and did not respond.

There is nothing wrong with what Lin Yun said, but as the youngest Star Girl, she cannot be compared with her two predecessors.

After Zhang Yuqi and Huang Shengyi made their debut as star girls, they have been very successful in the entertainment industry through their own means.

Both of them are the type who look pure and gentle on the outside, but have very positive ideas and thoughts in their bones, and dare to think and act.

As for Lin Yun, she reached the peak of her career as soon as she debuted, but she hasn’t produced any good works since “The Mermaid”.

In recent years, the only things that have attracted people's attention are scandals and romances, and his relationships with Feng Shaofeng, Song Weilong, and other little-known celebrities in the circle.

It seems that she is not serious about her career, but is more interested in dating.

This also caused her popularity to decline step by step. Now she can only play the third female role in Liu Yifei's TV series, and her ranking is after Liu Yan, who has never been very popular.

Lin Yun had no idea what Liu Yan was thinking of her, and she was still talking excitedly: ".I especially liked watching Gu Wei's dramas before I debuted.

I followed "Gu Jian Qi Tan", "Come on, My Love" and "Love O2O" back then.

Speaking of which, I particularly like the CP of Gu Wei and Zhao Liying. The drama "The Story of Minglan" starring them was so good.

I've watched it several times." Lin Yun was talking excitedly, but Liu Yan's attention shifted away from her and looked aside.

"Yifei, have you finished filming?"

"What are you guys talking about so excitedly?"

The person who came was Liu Yifei, the absolute protagonist of "Dream of Hualu".

She had just finished a play and was wearing a green gauze dress with some pink embellishments. Her black hair was tied into a beautiful bun, and the skin on her face was shiny white. She had the dignified temperament of a lady from a noble family wherever she went.

Lin Yun is also very good-looking, young, youthful and beautiful. Her look in "Dream of Red Mansions" is also very beautiful.

Liu Yan has a prominent figure and is beautiful, a rare beauty.

But the two of them were obviously a bit different in appearance next to Liu Yifei, and others would naturally be attracted to her at first sight.

"Let's talk about Gu Wei's new movie. Lin Yun is still his little fan girl."

Liu Yan said jokingly.

Liu Yifei sat next to the two of them and looked at Lin Yun in surprise.

[Dream of Red Mansions] started filming in March and has been going on for more than 3 months now. According to the filming plan set by the crew, it will be wrapped up in about a month.

As the three main actresses in the play, they have a good relationship after spending a few months together and are quite casual when chatting.

"What little fangirl? Sister Yan is just talking nonsense. I just really like the dramas directed by Gu Wei.

Sister Yifei, don’t listen to Sister Yan’s nonsense.” Lin Yun felt a little embarrassed.

"Who just said that they really wanted to work with Gu Wei?" Liu Yan didn't let her go and teased with a smile.

"It's normal to want to work with Mr. Gu Wei. Which actress in the domestic entertainment industry doesn't have this idea? Don't you want it, Sister Yan?" Lin Yun turned the tables.

“Well, there’s nothing wrong with what you said.

Unfortunately, it is too difficult to achieve this goal.

There are so many female stars in the entertainment industry, and those who can film with him are either the top few with the highest fame or have a good relationship with him and get recommendations."

Having said this, Lin Yun's eyes unconsciously turned to Liu Yifei who had just sat down.

"Sister Yifei, I remember that you and Gu Wei have worked together three times, and people say that you two are very good friends.

Is it real? "

Liu Yifei was originally watching the two people bickering with a smile, but she didn't expect the topic to turn to herself.

She thought about it and nodded slightly.

“I do have a good relationship with Gu Wei.

We have known each other for almost ten years, and he is one of the few good friends I have in the circle."

Liu Yifei did not hide anything and spoke to Lin Yun very generously.

And her words also aroused the other party's gossip.

Lin Yun's eyes slowly widened, and she looked at Liu Yifei curiously: "Sister Yifei, would you mind telling me about you two?"

Liu Yan, who was standing by, also pricked up her ears and listened.

Liu Yifei smiled gently: "It's not inconvenient.

In fact, many netizens are aware of how I met Gu Wei.

I first played the female lead in his debut film "Assassin's Blade", I remember it was in 2012.

We became friends after we finished filming that movie.

After that, we kept in touch and would make plans to have dinner together when we were free. We always had a good relationship.

Later, Gu Wei asked me to play the female police officer in "Detective Chinatown 2". In 2017, he recommended another movie to me. You all should know it, it is the love movie "Time Raiders".

That was also our third collaboration.

There is nothing much to say specifically, Gu Wei has a very good personality and we can get along well. It takes a long time for us to go from knowing each other to becoming good friends."

Lin Yun was filled with envy as she listened to Liu Yifei's narration of how she met Gu Wei.

No matter how she listened to it, it seemed like the process of the two of them going from friends to lovers, but Liu Yifei said that they were good friends, so she didn't ask about this tactlessly, but instead paid attention to the movie they collaborated on.

"Were the roles of [Detective Chinatown 2] and [Time Travel Together] both directly approached by Mr. Gu Wei?"

Liu Yifei nodded: "Yes, he mentioned [Detective Chinatown 2] when we were having dinner together, and I remember that I received an invitation from the crew for [Time Travel Together]."

But I have no connection with Director Xu Zheng, so it must be Gu Wei who recommended me."

When Lin Yun heard this, she couldn't help but reveal the envious expression on her face.

She also had several boyfriends in the circle, but she got nothing in return except being photographed by paparazzi and having scandals.

Just by becoming Gu Wei's "good friend", you can get the best resources in the circle.

As expected, people will die when comparing with others, and goods will be thrown away when comparing goods.

"Sister Fei, although you are also very outstanding, I still feel that it is a very happy thing to be friends with Teacher Gu Wei," she couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Yifei thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say about other aspects, but when it comes to generosity, he is indeed rare in the circle."

Liu Yan listened and nodded with emotion. She still remembered how Gu Wei helped her back then.

It can be said that without the other party's help, I might not be able to continue in the entertainment industry because of that incident.

Even now, inside the light, she still receives a lot of preferential treatment thanks to the other party's power.

"Sister Yifei, if there is a suitable opportunity in the future, can you introduce Teacher Gu Wei to me?
I am also half his fan." Although it felt a bit abrupt, Lin Yun still couldn't help but make the request.

She had already forgotten about the "little fangirl" who had just refuted Liu Yan, and directly said that she was a fan of the other party.

But this is also normal. Lin Yun knows that with her status and network of contacts, it is basically impossible for her to get to know Gu Wei.

The other party's circle is too high for her.

"Well, it's very simple to introduce you to each other, but Gu Wei is always very busy, and I haven't seen him for a long time."

Liu Yifei said indifferently.

At this moment, Liu Yan suddenly thought of something: "Maybe it is not impossible to meet Gu Wei in the near future.

I heard that a new crew moved into Hengdian a few days ago. It was a historical TV series called "The Wind Chasers" produced by "Wei Ming Tian Xia".

The crew hasn’t started filming yet, but many related actors have already joined the crew.”

When she said this, Lin Yun immediately shouted, "I know, I saw a news report before that "Storm Chasers" was starred by Mr. Gu Wei.

So, he will come to Hengdian to film when this drama starts shooting."

Having said this, she couldn't help but look at Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei chuckled: "Then wait for him to come over to film in a while, I'll take you to visit the set and introduce you to him."

"Thank you, Sister Yifei. Sister Yifei, you are so nice!" Lin Yun was excited when she heard her words and thanked her quickly.

After saying that, she thought of the movie she had just talked about with Liu Yan: "By the way, let's go out to see a movie together after the show today.

Just look at the most popular [life events] right now! ”

"I have no objection~" Liu Yan nodded, and then the two looked at Liu Yifei.

"Sure, I know this movie has a very good reputation, and I've wanted to see it for a long time," Liu Yifei agreed with a smile. (End of this chapter)
