Chapter 67: Returning Home
Just when "Wuji" became popular all over the country, "The Hangover" also began silent publicity work. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info In this time period, no movie can overshadow the limelight of "Wu Ji", but "The Hangover" cleverly takes advantage of the shareholder style of "Wu Ji" to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Gu Wenwu cut out two more trailers, and one was longer than the other. During the three weeks of the release of "Boundless", one screening is planned for each week. In the first week, it was only screened in theaters under the Wanda Cinema Line. But by the second and third weeks, it won't be limited to Wanda's theaters.
As one of the most powerful cinema chains in China, the cooperative relationship between Wanda Cinema Line and other cinema chains is still relatively friendly. Coupled with just putting a two- or three-minute trailer before the movie starts, it seems like a small thing that can't be smaller. Therefore, at a very small price, Wanda Entertainment Company can put these three in the theaters under the major cinema chains in the entire Great Xia.
The more moviegoers of "Boundless", the more people will know about "The Hangover". And what is the purpose of propaganda, it's not for others to know. Wouldn't this kind of propaganda be much easier than shouting hard.
handed over the publicity work to Wanda Entertainment Company, and Gu Wenwu was also relaxed. The crew of "The Hangover" is not like "Wuji", and it can also bring the main creators to promote all over the country, and all the creators can do is to shout a few words when attending the event, so that their fans know that they have a new movie to be released.
Taking advantage of this free period, Gu Wenwu decided to go home. When he first crossed over, he had a resistance in his heart. But after all this time, he realized that some things could not be avoided. What you should face must be faced after all, you can't never see them for the rest of your life. So, while you have time, it's good to meet up.
Before going back, Gu Wenwu didn't call his parents, he wanted to surprise them. Before going back, Gu Wenwu made a special purchase. It wasn't enough to fill the trunk of the car with a gift, and it was put on the back seat.
There are many relatives of the Gu Wenwu family, and they have all helped the Gu Wenwu family. Gu Wenwu went to college in the capital, and his relatives had given him a lot of help, and these gifts were just a small matter.
Gu Wenwu's family is in An City, Jiang Province. Driving from the capital to Jiang Province, it is not slow to go all the way at high speed, plus Gu Wenwu is an old driver, although the road is not very familiar, but with navigation this is not a problem. Gu Wenwu set off early in the morning, except for resting at the rest stop and eating something for a while, he didn't stop much along the way, and it took eleven hours to arrive in Chang City, the capital of Jiang Province. Due to the abundant time, Gu Wenwu didn't want to drive at night, after all, if he drove for so long, he would be tired of driving if he drove again. So he found a hotel in the city and was going to rest for the night before going home tomorrow.
Gu Wenwu slept peacefully that night, but some people didn't. He is Chen Kaige. "Wuji" has been released for nearly a week, and the box office has been growing by leaps and bounds, which is a happy thing, but in addition to the box office, Chen Kaige is more concerned about the reputation of "Wuji". But in fact, the reputation of "Wuji" is not very good.
From a professional point of view, "Boundless" is a good film. Metaphors are used in many places. symbolizes, the theme that the film wants to express is obscure and profound, and it seems that the whole film is full of force. But many times the audience doesn't care about what the film wants to say, but what the whole film says. It's a pity that in terms of the story itself, the story told in "Wu Ji" is not attractive.
Therefore, some fans who are watching blockbuster movies walk into the theater and see only an empty and boring story and gorgeous special effects scenes in their eyes. The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. This is clearly the case with "Boundless". The paper media may not report these because of Chen Kaige, but they don't have so many scruples on the Internet.
Forums, post bars, and communities, where netizens gather, are full of posts discussing "Wuji". But most of them are negative reviews. It is precisely because of seeing these negative comments that Chen Kaige is so restless that he can't sleep well at night.
"It's okay, it's just a very few people's opinions, don't worry about them." Chen Hong comforted.
"I hope so." Chen Kaige said. For some reason, he felt like he was going to be in a big position with this movie, and the box office that was soaring all the way didn't seem to put him at ease.
The next day, Gu Wenwu got up refreshed, and after breakfast, he continued to drive in the direction of home. Finally got home before lunch.
Standing in front of the house, Gu Wenwu raised his hand and wanted to knock on the door, but for some reason there was a trace of nervousness in his heart. Mustering up courage, Gu Wenwu's hand knocked on the door lightly and heavily.
"Here we go." A familiar voice came, the door creaked open, and a middle-aged woman walked over, her face that was still puzzled instantly turned into surprise when she saw Gu Wenwu.
"Mantou, it's really you." Mother Wang Lan couldn't believe her eyes. What a surprise it was for the long-missed son to suddenly appear in front of his eyes.
"Mom, it's me, I'm back." Gu Wenwu said with a smile.
"Quick, come in, let Mom take a good look." Wang Lan pulled Gu Wenwu into the house, waited for Gu Wenwu to sit down, then looked at him, and said distressedly: "Look at you, why have you lost so much weight, you have to take care of yourself when you are outside, don't finish eating as soon as you get up from work, it's easy to starve your body, you are young now, you may not feel anything, and when you get older, you will know the importance of the body......"
Listening to his mother's chatter, Gu Wenwu didn't feel bored in his heart, but felt a warmth in his heart. The parents in the world are the same, before he crossed over, every time he came home for the New Year, he had to listen to his mother's chatter. Who wants to say so much if they don't really care about you and love you.
Wang Lan babbled a lot, and then inadvertently looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was almost eleven o'clock. Immediately got up and said annoyedly: "Patronizing it, I forgot that there is no food at home, you wait at home for steamed buns, I will go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, if you are hungry, there is fruit in the refrigerator." ”
After saying that, I took my wallet and hurriedly went out. Gu Wenwu thought about it for a while and decided to bring up the gifts he bought for his parents in the car first.
Gu Wenwu's father likes to drink, so Gu Wenwu sold him a box of Moutai. What I bought for Wang Lan was a set of jade jewelry. Gu Wenwu is strong, and it is naturally not a problem to carry a box of wine upstairs.
After putting the things down, Gu Wenwu was idle, so he turned on the TV and watched the news. Not long after I looked at it, I heard the sound of the door opening. Gu Wenwu turned his head to look, and a tall middle-aged man with a resolute face walked in with a bag.
"Dad, you're back." Gu Wenwu said. The person who came in was Gu Wenwu's father, Gu Lin.
