473, Helan Mountain Swordsman

The Olympics are over, and Gu Meng has made great brilliant achievements in the Olympic arena, which has made him appear in the hot news of the media of various countries again and again, bringing him huge reputation and popularity.

Taking advantage of the popularity, the movie "Hurricane Rescue" finally reached the time for release after a year of preparation and publicity.

The premiere ceremony was still held at the Arc Optoelectronics Cinema, compared with the last premiere, this time it was more lively and large-scale, and many Hollywood stars came to participate in it with great dignity after being invited, and those who were not invited also came to rub the heat.

The premiere ceremony was a success, with a box office of 54 million in the first week, successfully leaving last week's box office champion 'Home Alone 2' behind and winning the first weekly box office title, followed by the second and third... It wasn't until the release of the animated movie 'Aladdin' that 'Hurricane Rescue' slowly stepped down from the championship and was the runner-up.

However, after four weeks of release, the total box office of the film has reached nearly $190 million, and it is only one step away from the $200 million mark.

In the fifth week, the total box office of the film easily crossed the 200 million mark, and finally ended with 230 million.

With an investment of 32 million and a global box office of $400 million, the film has a super high return on investment.

Gu Meng's first film in Hollywood got a total box office of 400 million, which made him successfully promoted to the ranks of superstars, his salary shouted to 8 million+, and the film contracts are still continuous.

After careful consideration, Gu Meng took on another action movie of the same genre "The End of the World".

The film tells the story of the murder of the wife of the doctor Kim, who is sentenced to death on suspicion of murder.

On the way to the prison, the prisoners in the same car attempted to carjack and escape.

A train roars by, and at the last moment, Kim jumps out and escapes.

Sheriff Gerrard, who was in charge of the case, came to the scene and he ordered a full manhunt for Kim.

On the one hand, Kim needs to escape from pursuit, and on the other hand, only by finding the real murderer can he prove his innocence.

The film was produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, with a salary of 10 million, and promised to continue to cooperate.

It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, and Gu Meng agreed to take it.

During the street filming of the world, Jiangyi Jia and Yindu planned to co-produce "Liwang 2" and "Gene Warrior 2", but they are both film plans for next year.

In mid-September, Jiahe Productions, which had been preparing for several years, was listed in Xiangjiang.

The initial stock issue price was only 28 yuan, and a month later, it rose to 67 yuan.

Genor went public and became a large-scale film production and distribution company with a market capitalization of HK$6 billion.

Gu Meng's worth has increased slightly.

According to the estimation of Xiangjiang Financial Magazine, Gu Meng's wealth has reached 15 billion Hong Kong dollars, ranking first on the list of the richest people in the mainland and eighth in Xiangjiang, ahead of various Li families, Huo Jialin families, and so on.

"Congratulations, Monopoly!"

At the Jiahe celebration reception, Li An held his wine glass and smiled.

Gu Meng smiled, "Great director, congratulations on winning the award."

After the release of "Tuina" directed by Li An last year, the global box office was 11 million US dollars, and the initial investment was only 600,000 US dollars, and the return rate was a little higher than that of the hurricane rescue.

The film not only grossed money, but was also nominated for eight awards this year, including Best Director, at the Golden Horse Awards, and won the Special Jury Prize for Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Director.

In addition, last month, the film won the Best Film Award at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival.

It can be described as a double harvest at the box office and word of mouth.

Li An was a blockbuster and successfully promoted from an eighteenth-tier director to a second-tier director.

In the first half of this year, he made persistent efforts and made a same-sex movie "The Wedding Banquet", with a production cost of 1 million, a box office of 30 million, and a lot of money for craftsmanship.

Li An was promoted from the second line to the first line director.

After he met Gu Meng in the past two years, his career was smooth sailing, and the sesame seeds were blooming.

Many entertainment magazines, from Li An's success to Zhou Xingchi's success, the two of them have common characteristics,

Before these two joined the craftsman, they were unknown, and they were just low-level characters in the entertainment industry.

But after joining the craftsman, the two ushered in a high tide in their careers.

The newspaper said that Gu Meng has a good eye and has a bit of the ability to turn stone into gold, so those people in the entertainment industry who have never met with talents want to join the craftsman, and Gu Meng clicked on it.

Only Gu Meng himself knows the truth, and without his own interference, these people will shine sooner or later, and he is just pushing the boat down the river to let them shine earlier.

Hearing his congratulations, Li An smiled slightly, a little honest.

He didn't talk nonsense anymore, but talked about business and made movies.

Last year, Gu Meng gave Li An two scripts, one is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and the other is "Helan Mountain Swordsman".

Both films are classical martial arts action movies, one talks about swords, the other talks about swords, and the two movies have a common feature, they both tell the stories of rivers and lakes, rivers and lakes, grievances and hatreds.

After Li An finished filming "The Wedding Banquet" this year, he began to shoot the "Sword Series".

After conception, he planned to shoot "Helan Mountain Swordsman" first.

This film is a joint production between the mainland artisan film department and Li An Studio.

The film mainly tells the grievances and hatred between Gu Meng's master, the famous Helan Mountain bandit leader Blackbeard, and Kong Changqi, the 'master of one move'.

This is a true story, after the oral narrative of the party Kong Changqi, the dramatic adaptation of Gu Meng and many screenwriters, and finally wrote the book "Helan Mountain Swordsman".

Gu Meng plays the role of the bandit leader Blackbeard, a ruthless bandit, a man in the rivers and lakes with clear grievances, and a swordsman who understands the righteousness of the country.

His knife can slash bullets.

From June to now, Li An has been staying in the northwest to prepare for the movie, and now the crew is generally ready, waiting for Gu Meng to start filming.

"Gu Meng, do you have time next?" asked Li An.

Gu Meng is too popular now, he has a few Hollywood dramas on his hands, and he has to be busy with the company's home, running around at home and abroad, Li An sometimes can't see it if he wants to, this time Jiahe is listed, he knows that Gu Meng is here to participate, to take the opportunity to block people!

Gu Meng thought for a moment, "Not this month, can it be next month?"

After the Olympics, he received several big commercials, cars, suits, watches, etc., and some commercials were waiting for him to shoot.

Li An's face turned dark, and he had to wait for half a month, but who called people a big name?

The blackbeard in the script is completely portrayed according to Gu Meng's image, and only he can perform that kind of momentum.

And Gu Meng has a big card position and a great box office appeal.

The latest issue of Hollywood Movie News lists a list of the influence of Hollywood male stars, Gu Meng is among Asian male stars, the influential male Baowan, and among the global male stars, the influence is temporarily ranked seventh.

With him in the movie, the global box office starts at least 50 million.

Li An also wanted to borrow his fame and make a name for himself in Hollywood, so he still couldn't help but complain and accommodate.

"Okay, but I'll say hello in advance, the movie will be shot for at least two months, I hope you can arrange it in advance"

"Haha, no problem!"

Gu Meng is a trustworthy person, after the listing of Jiahe was completed, he immediately got busy, filming commercials around the world, such as the United States, the East, France, Germany, etc., and he was a trapeze artist for more than half a month.

By early November, he had finally returned to the mainland.

Under Li Anwang's long-awaited expectations, he finally came to the Great Northwest and joined the crew.

"Hiss~, it's so cold!"

When he arrived at Yinzhou Airport, the cold wind blew, and Gu Meng couldn't help but shiver.

"Hehe, who is to blame for this, you can only blame yourself, who told you, the screenwriter, to arrange the main scenes in winter?"

The palace girl was wearing a fur coat, holding a stove, followed by a bodyguard, an assistant agent, and her husband, no different from the ancient big landlord's wife.

Gu Meng smiled, "The moon black goose flies high, fleeing at night, wanting to chase away the light horseman, the snow is full of bow and knife, you think about this picture, how intentional and bloody!"

Miss Gong smiled slightly, did not refute, she looked at the long-lost northwest, and couldn't help but remember the first time the two of them came to the northwest to make a movie, at that time she was still a girl, but unfortunately she didn't escape from his clutches despite all the precautions.

"Hiss~, what are you pinching me for?"

Gu Meng said depressedly.

"I'd love to!"

The palace girl snorted lightly and walked out of front of her six relatives who did not recognize her.

"Pear, you really look like a bandit woman!"

This time, Gong Li played a rival role with him again, playing the blackbearded lady of the village, a real bandit woman, the palace girl likes this role very much, she has been practicing at home for a long time, she was originally very spicy, but now she is a little arrogant.

Gu Meng felt a lot of pressure.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's go! Director Li An is waiting for you to cry."

"Haha, come on, ma'am!"
