Chapter 127: Achievements
Before the movie was released, Gu Wenwu was a busy mess. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but when the movie was released, he was idle all of a sudden. Because at this time, there is no need for him to do anything more.
He didn't say that he went to the theater to observe how many attendances his movies had, nor did he go to see how other movies were, whether they would have an impact on his movies, but stayed at home alone and read books.
That's right, it's reading. After filming two movies in a row, it's time to stop and recharge by the way. Although Gu Wenwu has the memories of later generations, memory is not omnipotent. It's like he has memories of "Red Cliff" in his head, and he can also write the script of "Red Cliff", but if he wants to shoot such a magnificent and powerful scene like Wu Yusheng, I'm afraid it will be a little bit unsuccessful.
Human knowledge is like a circle, and the representatives in the circle are known, and the more known, the more unknown. Although he made two movies, Gu Wenwu's directing skills have been improved, but it is precisely because of this that he has become more aware of the fact that the director's profession is not simple. It is impossible for him to rely on the memory in his brain to eat for a lifetime, he still needs to be hard to strike iron, what Gu Wenwu has to do now is to make himself hard.
Gu Wenwu reads leisurely at home, but this does not mean that other people are the same as him. With so many movies crammed into theaters, everyone is waiting with bated breath for the box office to come out on the first day. Which movie is the most dominant film in this July 1st National Day file, you can get a general idea through the box office on the first day.
July 2, the second day of the release of "The Great Detective". Due to the hot weather, Gu Wenwu got up early, and after some washing, he came to the gym to exercise. Although the villa sent by Wang Shicong is not big, there are more than a dozen rooms, and Gu Wenwu lives alone, so many rooms are empty, so Gu Wenwu changed one of the rooms into a gym, in which many fitness equipment are placed.
He didn't say that if you want to become a fitness expert, you must have an eight-pack abs mermaid line or something, but at least you must be strong and strong, and you can't run two steps and be out of breath, after all, having a good body is of great benefit to work and life.
Gu Wenwu got off the treadmill panting, and was about to pick up a towel on the side to wipe his sweat, when suddenly Gu Wenwu's mobile phone rang on the chair. He picked it up and took a look, but it was a call from Li Yefeng.
"Hey, Ye Feng, what's the matter?" Gu Wenwu first calmed his breath before answering the phone.
According to statistics, among the films released on July 1, "Lust and Caution" ranked first with a first-day box office of 22 million, "Spider-Man 2" ranked second, with a first-day box office of 18 million, and our movie ranked third, 17.5 million."
"Seventeen and a half million?" This number is very delicate, there is only 500,000 difference with the second place, and the gap with the first place is not so big. Gu Wenwu rubbed his chin and thought to himself.
"What about "Big Event", what was its first-day box office?" Gu Wenwu asked.
"The Big Event" ranked fourth, with a box office of 14 million on the first day." Li Yefeng replied.
Gu Wenwu didn't ask again for other movies, because there was no need. Under such four movies, those small-budget and small-production movies are basically reduced to cannon fodder.
"Okay, I see, you go get busy." Gu Wenwu hung up the phone. Putting the phone down, Gu Wenwu continued to exercise.
"Uh." Li Yefeng held the mobile phone, his expression stunned. Why is this hanging, such a good result, it turned out to be a sentence I know, Mr. Gu, you are too calm.
Gu Wenwu was calmly exercising at home, but he didn't know that the outside world had already made a lot of noise because of this report card.
Plaza Premium Films. As a veteran film company, Uniasia's reputation and strength are not inferior to any domestic film company. As a company that has produced countless classic movies, this time it chose to release "Big Event" on July 1st, obviously with high expectations for this movie. However, as soon as the box office came out on the first day, the senior management of Uniasia suddenly felt as if they had been slapped by someone, and their faces hurt so much.
"Why didn't the box office of "Big Event" even enter the top three on the first day, can anyone tell me why?" Plaza Asia Film Company, general manager Chen Dong slapped the table angrily, this matter was really unacceptable to him.
"This, Mr. Chen, I think this is only the first-day box office, don't worry too much, that "The Great Detective" is just lucky, they are better promoted, I think the box office will definitely go down next." Song Jundao, director of the distribution department.
"That's right, this Gu Wenwu is just a small director, relying on Cheng Daoming's fame to have such a high first-day box office, but the first-day box office is not a weekly box office, no matter how lucky he is, it will only be like this on the first day of release." Deputy General Manager Jiang Shengdao.
The words of everyone here made Chen Dong gradually calm down. Indeed, it should just be good luck, otherwise how could this rookie director surpass Du Qifeng. To say that the movie made by this rookie director is better than "The Big Event", it is absolutely impossible.
"This situation shows that we have not done enough in some places, Mr. Lin called me and asked about it, I don't know how to reply to him, so, Lao Zhao, work harder in terms of publicity, don't let people see our jokes about Asia." Chen Dongdao.
The Mr. Lin in his mouth is naturally Lin Jianyue, the chief boss of Uniasia, and when he heard that Lin Jianyue was very concerned about this matter, Zhao Ke, the head of the Propaganda Department, was nervous, and hurriedly said: "I understand, leave it to me." ”
As a top international director, as soon as Li released the news of returning to China for development, all major domestic entertainment companies were moved by the news and wanted to cooperate with this big director. In the face of many companies recommended by Mao Sui, Li did not choose any of them in the end, and still cooperated with his old friend Focus Film Company. His last film was a collaboration with this company.
Of course, he is not from this company, his agency is William Morris of the United States. Li had just finished breakfast with his wife and was reading a newspaper. Like Gu Wenwu, he was also a lot more idle after the movie was released. Halfway through it, the phone at home rang suddenly, and his wife hurriedly put down the knife that was cutting fruit, got up and picked it up, and said a few words to the other party and then said to Li: "It's a phone call from the film company, saying that it is to report to you yesterday's movie box office." ”
When Li heard this, he put down the newspaper and walked over. After listening to it, I only said that I knew, and then hung up.
"How's it going?" The wife came over and asked with concern.
"What else, first." Li said indifferently. It doesn't seem like it's a big deal for him to take the first place.
"That's good." Hearing that it was the first, the wife was relieved.
"It's just the first-day box office, and it doesn't mean anything, but it's this movie, which makes me very curious." Li Zhan dusted off the newspaper in his hand and said with interest. At this time, he was seeing a report about "The Great Detective".
