Huayu is free to do as you like

In the evening, Gu Wei and others went out for dinner together.

".What do you mean by what Director Chen said at the premiere?"

After three drinks and five delicious dishes, the atmosphere at the dinner table became better and better, and everyone chatted more casually. Wu Jing mentioned the premiere during the day.

"What else could it mean? I felt unhappy during the filming, so I took the opportunity to complain.

But I can’t break my face, I can only say it in a joking tone.”

Gu Wei said casually while eating the vegetables.

Wu Jingjing nodded, feeling slightly: "Actually, I have no objection to Director Chen himself. He is a senior in the industry, and his fame and status are there. If possible, I would like to have a good relationship with him.

But when it comes to the filming of the movie, if everything goes according to his ideas, in the end if the effect is not good, the audience will still blame us."

Gu Wei smiled and said: "It's all for the sake of producing the best work. It's an artistic disagreement, so don't mind it too much.

Director Chen can probably think of it, today is just a small episode."

Unlike Wu Jing's entanglement, Gu Wei didn't take what happened during the day seriously at all.

Over the years, rumors have circulated that he is a dominating actor. Today's joke by Brother Chen Kai seems to have confirmed this rumor, but so what.

He has never made any bad movies, and his reputation is much better than Director Chen.

Even if things go bad today, netizens will definitely side with him and Wu Jing, not Brother Chen Kai.

"You are right. No matter what Director Chen thinks, since he is joking, let's just treat it as a joke." Wu Dingding nodded.

Gu Wei smiled and picked up the wine glass: "Come, drink~"

"good!"

The two clinked glasses and took a sip. Gu Wei put down his glass and said, "You have to go to Qindao after your promotion here. I talked to Guo Fan on the phone two days ago.

The sets at the Oriental Movie Capital have been set up long ago, and the preparatory work has been completed, and scattered filming has begun.

Now I just need you, the male lead, to join the group."

As one of the major investors in "The Wandering Earth 2", Gu Wei has always been concerned about the film's filming progress.

Wu Jing, the male protagonist, did not join the cast, but Zhang Tianai, who played "Han Duoduo", and Dilraba Ke, who played "Hao Xiaoxi", both did.

For them, the opportunity to participate in [The Wandering Earth 2] is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The two of them attached great importance to this movie and deliberately joined the cast well in advance.

“I’ll go over when I’m done here.

It is said that this year has been busy since the beginning of the year. [Changjin Lake], [My Fathers and Me], and [The Wandering Earth 2] are about to start filming, so I really don’t have any time to rest."

Gu Wei patted Wu Jing's shoulder and joked: "It's better to be busy. Being busy means that you are popular, Brother Jing. Your 40s are the age to work hard on your career!"

Wu Jing was also happy and slapped Gu Wei's hand away: "You're making fun of me, right~"

The two chatted for a while, and Wu Jing thought of something and asked, "I have something to ask you."

"Whatever it is, just say it."

Wu Jing thought for a moment: "Aren't you going to co-produce an action blockbuster with [Lionsgate Pictures] soon, starring Keanu Reeves?"

"Yes, the contract has been signed a long time ago, and the crew's preparations are almost complete. Production will start by the end of the year."

"Um, some Hollywood companies have contacted me recently. Maybe they saw your example and they want to follow the model of [Lions Gate] and yours to cooperate with me."

"Huh? Which company, what movie?" Gu Wei took a mouthful of cold vegetables and looked up and asked.

"[Warner Bros.] is also a series of movies, the second part of [The Meg]."

"The movie [The Meg] starring Jason Statham and Li Bingbing?"

"Yes, the first film in this series was actually quite successful, taking in more than 500 million US dollars at the global box office.

They also approached me to form a double male lead lineup with Jason, hoping to expand the domestic market.

Do you think I should take it? "

From Wu Jing's heart, he definitely wanted to take on this project.

After all, it has always been his dream to become an international kung fu superstar comparable to his senior brother Li Lien Lien. However, since it was his first time working with Hollywood, he was a little unsure, so he asked Gu Wei, a veteran, for his opinion.

"I will definitely not advise you to give up. After all, I have already received an olive branch from Hollywood, and it is every actor's dream to go international and expand his influence around the world.

However, cooperation is cooperation, and you must take everything into consideration when signing a contract.

For example, how the movie is shot, how much say you have in the team as an investor and one of the protagonists, whether you can retain part of the editing rights, etc.

Hollywood companies hope to use our brothers' fame and appeal to help them make money, but we can't make bad movies either.

Just like when you took on "The Climber" before, if the director could listen to your opinions and change the scene, the film would have a different effect."

"The Climber", released the year before last, was a minor pain in Wu Jing's heart.

He originally accepted the movie because of the favor from Shanghai Film Studio.

Originally, Wu Jing just wanted to focus on being an actor, and he even went to practice mountain climbing in order to make a good movie.

As a result, many plot problems were discovered during filming, so the director was advised to delete the emotional lines between the male and female protagonists.

It’s not that Wu Jing has too many things to do. It’s difficult for an actor like him who has been a director to just be an actor when he goes to film. He will always unconsciously look at the whole movie from the director’s perspective.

Gu Wei, Jiang Wen, and Xu Zheng were all like this.

Unfortunately, the suggestion was raised, but Li Rengang did not accept it.

In the end, the reputation and box office of "The Climbers" were not satisfactory, and many people said that Wu Jing could not do without Gu Wei's box office appeal.

"I understand, I will carefully consider this matter later!"

Gu Wei smiled: "Speaking of co-productions, I just need your help with something."

"There is no need to be polite between us brothers, just ask~"

Wu Jing raised his head and patted his chest proudly.

"It's not a troublesome matter. I want to ask you to make a cameo appearance in the "John Wick 4" I shot at the end of the year and another movie I am preparing. It's just a matter of one shot and two sentences."

"No problem, it's a small matter."

Wu Jing does not reject making a cameo appearance in a friend's movie. He has made a cameo appearance in Yu Zhuo's "Hello Teacher" and Deng Chao's "Galaxy Tutorial" respectively.

"Is there any role suitable for me in [John Wick 4]?"

Gu Wei smiled and said, "My character in this movie is called "Lin Wei". I want you to play the guest role of "Leng Feng". At the end of the movie, we can just have a phone call.

It is mainly to connect the world view with [Wolf Warrior 2] and give domestic audiences a surprise."

"Your idea is really great. What about the other movie?"

"The other one is similar.

This movie is a story I wrote for the character "Lin Wei". It tells the story of him going abroad to rescue his kidnapped sister. It is a bit similar to [Taken].

You still play "Leng Feng". There are two shots in the play where you help me, mainly providing foreign connections and weapons.

It is similar to the role of a friend who provides logistics support to the protagonist in Hollywood action movies."

"The role of "Lin Wei" allows you to play a lot!" Wu Jing was amazed at Gu Wei's wild ideas.

"Wolf Warrior 2 was so successful, Leng Feng and Lin Wei were also very popular.

It would be a waste if we don't expand it.

And I also want to take this opportunity to cooperate with Lionsgate to promote this action movie universe centered on "Lin Wei".

The second movie I told you about is called "Extreme Rescue", and if nothing unexpected happens, it will also be a cooperation with Lionsgate.

The ultimate goal is to promote the movie to the world!"

After listening to Gu Wei's words, Wu Jing gave a thumbs up and said in admiration: "It's a big deal, and you think three steps ahead. I hope you can succeed!"

Gu Wei smiled and said, "If my John Wick 4 and the rescue series are successful, then when you, Brother Jing, shoot Wolf Warrior 3 in the future, "Lin Wei" can also make a cameo appearance, which will also be a surprise for the audience."

Wu Jing shook his head helplessly: "According to my current busyness, it is impossible to shoot Wolf Warrior 3 in a short time."

The premiere of "Changjin Lake" was not held in Beijing. According to the arrangement of the publicity and distribution party, advance detonation venues were held simultaneously in Changsha, Shancheng, Yuezhou, Bincheng, and Shanghai. Audiences from 33 cities watched the movie at the same time, which was an unprecedented event.

After the premiere on the 25th, "Changjin Lake" began large-scale preview activities across the country, and also opened box office pre-sales.

The pre-sale box office exceeded 50 million on the 26th, and broke 120 million on the 27th. Until the 29th, the total pre-sale box office of "Changjin Lake" had reached 210 million yuan.

Moreover, through the four-day large-scale preview, the reputation of the movie has spread thoroughly. The Internet is full of various voices praising "Changjin Lake". Whether it is the media, film critics or audiences, they all give the movie high scores.

[I watched the preview for the publicity of Gu Wei and Wu Jingsan, but the movie shocked me. It was a super cruel and real war. I pay tribute to the predecessors who participated in that war! ]

[As a professional film critic with 20 years of experience, "Changjin Lake" is undoubtedly an excellent war film from the perspective of film professionals. It is definitely top-level in China.

Whether it is the plot, war scenes or actors, there is nothing wrong.

In my opinion, it should be the most worthwhile movie to watch during this year's National Day! ]

[I am in Shanghai. I just finished the preview and talked about my thoughts.

The story of the seventh interspersed company is full of flesh and blood, laughter and tears, and it is very touching.

The grand scenes in the movie are quite imposing. Although the production time is tight, the special effects are super shocking.

The magnificent scenery of the motherland's great rivers and mountains is also very beautiful.

In addition, the actors made me completely forget who they were in these three hours. In my eyes, they were the characters themselves. Wu Wanli's growth line and the emotional lines of his brother and Lei Dad made me choke up several times! 】

【Sure enough, Gu Wei's movies never disappoint. "Changjin Lake" is the best war movie I have seen this year!

The movie is super exciting, the war scenes are grand and shocking, and the various characters are flesh and blood.

After watching this movie, I know that our ancestors faced the cruelty of war, shed blood and moved forward resolutely, and used their lives to exchange for today's peace and well-being. Pay tribute to these most lovely people, and may the prosperous world today be as you wish! 】

【The movie is so shocking, it truly restores the process of the Changjin Lake War and shows the simple and tenacious spirit of the most lovely soldiers.

Gu Wei challenged himself again, and there was no shadow of the previous role at all. Together with Wu Jing, he played out the characteristics and growth of the two brothers Wu Qianli and Wu Wanli. It was great! 】

Amid the enthusiastic praise for "Changjin Lake" on the Internet, the film officially opened on September 30 with a total pre-sale box office of 210 million yuan and a super high score of 9.5 points on both Maoyan and Tao Piaopiao platforms!

Major theater chains across the country welcomed this epic film with high spirits, and audiences poured into theaters with long-awaited mood.

The total number of tickets in the day was 305 million, firmly ranking on the box office list of the day. Top of the list.

During this year’s National Day holiday, a total of eight new movies were released.

In terms of popularity and box office, [Changjin Lake] can be said to be the only one.

The second-ranked film "My Fathers and Me" only had a box office of 120 million on its first day, lagging behind the first two films in this series in both box office and reputation.

Starting from the third place, [Big Ear Tutu: Tyrannosaurus Rex in Action], [Eagle Catching Chicken], and [Pipilu and Lu Luxi: Canned Villain] all only had a few hundred to 10 million on the first day. , basically a decoration for the National Day stalls.

This year's National Day holiday is undoubtedly the stage for the movie "Changjin Lake". From the first day of its release, the movie has broken more than 10 film history records and set a new single-day box office record for the National Day holiday!

Since September 30, the film has continued to be the daily box office champion. It ranks first in the same period in terms of comprehensive box office, box office share, film schedule share, number of moviegoers, and attendance rate, and is far ahead!

[Changjin Lake] completely made this year’s National Day holiday popular and triggered a new wave of movie-watching craze.

Due to the patriotic theme of the movie, many families, including three generations, went to the theater together during the National Day.

From the veterans who experienced the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea to the energetic teenagers, they were all moved by this epic war production. Some of the prime scenes were even sold out.

During the seven days of National Day, the total box office of [Changjin Lake] continued to rise with an exaggerated figure of over 400 million per day.

As of October 7, [Changjin Lake] had a cumulative box office of 3.76 billion in the eight days since its release, accounting for 71% of the total national box office during the National Day period.

[My Fathers and Me] has accumulated over 900 million and won the second place in the schedule.

“In just 8 days, the total number of tickets has reached 4 billion, it’s so fast!

Do you think [Changjin Lake] can surpass [Wolf Warrior 2] and [Tang Detective 3] to become the new film and television champion?

Many people on the Internet are discussing this."

[Wind Chaser] On the set of the crew, in the lounge, Wang Churan, who was scrolling through his cell phone, asked Gu Wei beside him.

"It's almost the same. With the current box office trend of [Changjin Lake], it should be no problem if it exceeds 6 billion, but it's hard to say whether it can catch up with [Tang Detective 3]'s 6.2 billion."

The total ticket sales of the original "Changjin Lake" were 5.7 billion. Although the higher the box office, the closer to the ceiling of the mainland market, it is not too difficult for Gu Wei's version to exceed 6 billion.

"Unfortunately, it is unlikely that this theme will get any box office abroad, so we can only rely on the domestic market."

Gu Wei smiled and said: "The domestic market is enough. When this movie was shot, it was cut into upper and lower parts, and there was also a film called "Watergate Bridge" that was not released.

The two movies combined should have a box office revenue of over 10 billion. China’s top-grossing movie is gone! "(End of chapter)
