China Entertainment's whatever you want

"10 billion box office, this number is too exaggerated.

Only you, Brother Wei, can say it so easily.

I remember that there are only a few actors in the entertainment industry whose total box office revenue has exceeded 10 billion yuan, and only you and Shen Teng have exceeded 20 billion yuan."

Speaking of this, Wang Churan thought of the movie "Changjin Lake" which is currently being screened: "No, there is also Wu Jing. If you count "Changjin Lake", his total box office has exceeded 20 billion, and it has exceeded a lot in one go!"

Gu Wei thought for a while and said: "2 billion is not Wu Jing's limit. When the next part of "Watergate Bridge" and "The Wandering Earth 300" he is currently filming are released, his personal box office will have a leap and it will not be difficult to exceed billion.

The same goes for Shen Teng. His personal box office revenue will exceed 300 billion in the next few years."

"But Brother Wei, your personal box office now exceeds 400 billion, far ahead of all actors in the domestic entertainment industry.

Not to mention the future, when the box office of "Changjin Lake" breaks 40 billion, your personal total box office will exceed 500 billion.

It’s just a matter of one or two days.”

As a former fan of Gu Wei, Wang Churan is very familiar with the achievements of the movies he has starred in.

She knew very well that the man in front of her was the real box office king of the domestic entertainment industry, and no one could match him.

“Is that already this much?

I haven’t paid much attention to it.”

Gu Wei didn't mean to be Versailles when he said this. He was a little excited when his personal box office exceeded 200 billion and billion.

However, when his personal box office continued to rise and it became completely impossible for anyone to catch up, he became a little numb and had not paid attention to his personal total box office data for a long time.

"Of course, at the end of last month, [Life Events] closed with a final box office of 31.4 billion yuan, and your personal total box office exceeded 460 billion yuan at that time. Add to that the current 37 billion yuan of [Changjin Lake], and the total is 497 billion yuan.

According to the current box office trend of "Changjin Lake", the total box office will exceed 500 billion in one or two days!"

Wang Churan spoke with certainty, and the look he gave Gu Wei was filled with admiration and envy.

“Brother Wei, your movies are all so good, they will be big sellers once they are released.

I don’t know when I will have the opportunity to star in such a movie. "

People are always unsatisfied. Although Wang Churan’s current resources are already very good and he can be considered a top-notch resource actor compared to ordinary new actors, it would be even better if he had the opportunity to act in a movie.

In the domestic entertainment industry, TV actors are always inferior to movie actors. Countless big stars turned to making movies after becoming famous through TV dramas.

Even if you get hurt, you have to try again and again.

Brother Hu is the most typical example.

“You are still young, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Make yourself famous first, then hone your acting skills, and people will naturally come looking for you," Gu Wei said comfortingly.

Wang Churan nodded on the surface but in his heart he didn't think what Gu Wei said was right.

From her point of view, if you want to make a movie and succeed, you must have someone to support you, otherwise it will most likely fail.

Not to mention anything else, Zhang Tianai, the only female actress in the domestic entertainment industry with a box office of over 10 billion yuan, is the best example.

It’s clear that he has never filmed any hit TV series, and his famous work "The Rise of Phoenixes" was just a small web drama.

Because she is the top actress under Gu Wei's "Wei Ming Tian Xia", she has been constantly provided with various film resources.

Several big-budget movies such as "The Richest Tomato", "Wolf Warrior 2", and "Operation Red Sea" have made her the top female star in the domestic entertainment industry at the box office.

Some time ago, "The Wandering Earth 2" announced its leading actors, and she was the female lead again.

Her film resources make countless domestic female stars jealous.

Therefore, being famous or not is far less important than having someone behind you.

Wang Churan doesn’t think that this “Little Liu Yifei” will be more popular than the real Liu Yifei in the future.

Even though she was so popular back then, she still made many mistakes in the film industry.

In the end, it was thanks to the two dramas directed by Gu Wei, [Detective Chinatown 2] and [Time Raiders], that she was able to regain some popularity.

Therefore, she believes that if she wants to further move from the television industry to the film industry in the future, she has to rely on Gu Wei, the golden thigh.

"Boss, the people from the Chinese Film Reporting Team of the Film Channel have arrived."

Just when Wang Churan was lost in thought, Yang Dan came over and whispered in Gu Wei's ear.

Gu Wei nodded, said something to Wang Churan, stood up and left with Yang Dan.

Today's interview was scheduled two days ago.

[Changjin Lake] is so popular now, and the creative team has been working hard to promote the movie. Today, a group went to the Martyrs Cemetery of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea to pay tribute to the heroes, and tomorrow they will hold a symposium to talk about the difficulties of filming.

Gu Wei was unable to participate in the subsequent promotional activities due to filming, but accepting some interviews can be considered as contributing to the promotion of "Changjin Lake".

"Hello everyone, I am Gu Wei, the actor who plays the role of Wu Wanli, a new soldier from the 7th Interspersed Company of the 9th Corps!"

After meeting with the film reporting team, we had a brief chat and then began the formal interview.

“Thank you very much Gu Wei for accepting this interview with us!
We all know that "Changjin Lake" is very popular at the moment, the movie is very good, and the audience's enthusiasm for watching it is also very high.

As the protagonist of the film, Gu Wei, can you tell us what kind of film do you think "Changjin Lake" is? "

“From the effects presented in the film, [Changjin Lake] is undoubtedly an epic war masterpiece.

With an investment cost of over 10 billion RMB and more than 7 people participating in the performance, everyone worked together to film that heart-wrenching war story.

The most iconic domestic war film of the past two decades is none other than The Battle at Lake Changjin! "

Gu Wei's answer was very domineering and not humble at all.

But as a promotion, it is more interesting to say this.

"So what do you think is the biggest difficulty you encountered when filming a movie?"

“To be honest, there were many difficulties in filming [Changjin Lake].

First of all, because there are so many creative staff members in this movie, how to cooperate with each director and actor during filming is a big problem.

Secondly, the conditions during filming were also quite difficult.

Because it was all shot on location, all kinds of wind, frost, snow and rain were inevitable, plus the action scenes in the war, I was constantly injured every day."

“During the premiere of [Changjin Lake], director Chen Kai said that because you and Wu Jing were so capable, he often felt “useless” during filming.

I may not look for you to work with me in future movies. What do you think of Director Chen's words?"

After the reporter asked the question, Gu Wei looked at him in surprise.

He didn't expect that official media such as the movie channel would also pay attention to such gossip.

"Director Chen was joking. He meant to praise me and Wu Jing for doing more work on the set and helping their director a lot."

Of course Gu Wei couldn't blame Brother Chen Kai. Just like what he said when he was chatting with Wu Jing, if he was just joking, then just treat it as a joke.

“I also read some comments from netizens, and everyone thinks too much.

To make a good movie is not something that can be done by one or two people. I can’t do it, and Wu Jing can’t do it either. Only when everyone works together can we create an excellent work! "The interview didn’t last too long, about half an hour, and the reporter’s last question returned to the box office outlook for "Changjin Lake".

"I think the box office of "Changjin Lake" has the potential to break 60 billion, surpassing "Wolf Warrior 2" and even "Detective Chinatown 3" to become the new domestic film box office champion!"

On October 10, the total box office of "Changjin Lake" officially exceeded 10 billion.

#Gu Wei, the box office king & 500 billion movie star! # and #【Changjin Lake】Box office breaks 40 billion# were both on the hot search list.

At the same time, Gu Wei’s interview with China Film Report was also broadcast, and his answers in the interview attracted a lot of discussion.

[Although Gu Wei repeatedly tried to make amends for Brother Chen Kai, I felt that what he said at the premiere was definitely not a joke, and it was clearly meant to be meaningful! ]

[Chen is a big director and he always has the final say in the crew. However, when he meets Gu Wei and Wu Jing, two actors who don't listen to him, he can't show off his power as a big director.

In addition, the producer and the other two directors did not stand on his side, so the filming must have been unhappy.

There was nothing I could do at the time, I could only hint at it during the publicity afterwards. 】

[To be honest, when the director of "Changjin Lake" was announced to be Brother Chen Kai, I didn't want to watch it at all.

I became interested in buying tickets after seeing that Gu Wei and Wu Jing were performing in the film.

Looking back now, it’s a good thing that Gu Wei and his team didn’t listen to Brother Chen Kai during the filming, otherwise the film might not have turned out well. If it had been similar to “The Promise”, it would have been a disaster! 】

[Everyone has witnessed Director Chen's ability. The hugely expensive "The Promise" was ridiculed as "A Murder Case Caused by a Bun".

The Douban scores of big IP movies such as "The Legend of the Demon Cat", "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain", and "The Orphan of Zhao" all hover around five or six points, with no improvement in either word-of-mouth or box office.

In the compilation film "My Motherland and Me", the film "Daytime Meteor" directed by him was even more ridiculed by the public.

I really don't believe that he can make a movie like "Changjin Lake".

But now it makes sense, because the actors made their own decisions and filmed the show without listening to him, so "Changjin Lake" was so successful! 】

"These netizens really have nothing to do. They can turn the analysis around based on any random sentence.

But Gu Wei’s interview was quite unexpected. I thought he would say something sarcastic to me.”

Chen Hong placed a plate of washed fruits on the desk in front of Chen Kai and said with a smile, "Gu Wei can stand at this level now, which shows that he is a man of broad vision.

When we were on the set, I saw that Xu Ke and Lin Chaoxian both had a very good impression of him."

"You mean I'm being rude?" Brother Chen Kai picked up a big red strawberry, took a bite and said with dissatisfaction.

Chen Hong walked to her husband and held his shoulders: "You said this yourself, I didn't say it.

Besides, it was you who first mentioned the premiere. Although you said it in a joking tone, outsiders may not know what happened exactly, but the people in the crew know it.

When you said the first sentence, I was shocked and Yu Dong's face turned green, but fortunately the second half of the sentence made it better."

"Hehe~ I'm telling the truth. This is the first time I've worked with these two people, and I didn't expect them to be so difficult to work with!"

Chen Hong is very good at coaxing her husband, and she persuaded him with a smile: "Okay, okay, Gu Wei and Wu Jing are also directors, big directors at that, it's normal for them to have their own ideas.

And no matter what, the matter has passed, and [Changjin Lake] is now a great success, and no one can erase your contribution as the chief director."

"Netizens don't think so. They think the success of "Changjin Lake" is the work of Gu Wei and Wu Jing. It was because they didn't listen to me that they were able to make a good movie."

Chen Hong smiled and looked down at Brother Chen Kai: "They are outsiders who don't understand what's going on here. Okay, don't think about it.

What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll ask Aunt Wang to prepare it.

The doctor said your blood sugar is a little high recently, so it’s best to eat something light.”

"It's up to you~"

Brother Chen Kai didn't pay attention to what his wife said. He thought about it and picked up his phone to make a call.

"Lao Zhang, what have you been busy with recently?

Haha, thank you. I didn't expect that "Changjin Lake" would be so successful.
I'm not busy now. The promotion of the movie is almost done. The rest will depend on word of mouth.
By the way, I have a new idea. When are you free for us to meet?"

Brother Chen Kai chatted with "Lao Zhang" on the other end of the phone for a long time. The two finally agreed on a meeting time before hanging up the phone.

"Who are you calling?" asked Chen Hong, who was listening the whole time.

"Zhang Ke."

"Zhang Ke? The screenwriter of "My People, My Country" and "King Kong River"?"

Brother Chen Kai nodded.

"What are you doing with him?"

“After the filming of The Battle at Lake Changjin was finished, I had a new idea, but at that time I didn’t know whether a movie of this theme would be popular, so I didn’t proceed with it.

Now that "Changjin Lake" is selling well, it shows that audiences like to watch movies about the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.

I just took advantage of this popularity to start preparing for my movie."

Brother Chen Kai said this as he took out a notebook and a pen from a drawer beside him and started writing something.

"Are you planning to make another movie based on "Changjin Lake"?"

“It’s not modeled after [Changjin Lake].

Both the Changjin Lake and the Watergate Bridge are only a small part of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.

I plan to start from the big picture and make a panoramic, multi-dimensional film that presents the Korean War on a larger scale.”

As Brother Chen Kai spoke, he had already written a few large words like the title "Great Victory" on the notebook.

Chen Hong frowned: "Are you angry with your netizens?"

"Why are you angry? I'm not a child.

I have had this idea for a long time, and now is a good time to start preparing! ”

Chen Hong didn't believe it, and asked tentatively: "Who are you going to look for as the lead actor?"

“I just prepared the script, so how could I think of who to cast as the lead actor?

But I definitely won’t use Gu Wei and Wu Jing!”

After hearing these words, Chen Hong understood that it was because he was feeling suffocated.

However, she did not stop Brother Chen Kai from making a movie. After all, it did not require his own money, and with Director Chen's status and position, naturally there would be film companies to invest.

She thought for a moment and said, "Can you give Arthur an important role in your new film?"

Brother Chen Kai stopped writing and said: "No problem, I already have a general outline of the story in my mind.

When I ask Chen Ke to write the script, I will give him an important role that runs through the whole story!

When we were filming "Changjin Lake" I wanted to have Arthur appear in the film, but Yu Dong refused to agree.

This time it’s my own project, no one can interfere!”

Chen Kai is full of confidence. He really believes that the success of "Changjin Lake" should be attributed to himself, so he is eager to make another movie that he directs alone without big-name actors like Gu Wei and Wu Jing to prove himself. (End of this chapter)
