A few days later, when an article was published in "China Film News", the headline read, "Feng Xiaogang, Gu Xiaofan found another way, the Chinese New Year file war, the war film and the rural theme showdown "Vote for Fame". [No pop-up novel network];."

This news soon caused an uproar among fans, and Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly Number" quickly became a popular search term on the Internet, everyone wanted to see what this movie was about, and Huayi Brothers' warm-up purpose was completely achieved.

In comparison, Gu Xiaofan's new work with a "rural theme" is even more eye-catching, and many netizens and fans are discussing what movie Gu Xiaofan wants to make.

On Sohu, as soon as the news came out, there were thousands of posts discussing this topic.

"This Gu Xiaofan must have won the box office this time, and he wants to go for the award again, he must be learning from Jia Zhangke to shoot rural reality themes~ Cannes, Berlin, Venice three awards love this kind of ah~~"

"Not necessarily, if you want to win an award, you still have to shoot the style of the fifth-generation director of "Red Sorghum" and "Yellow Earth"~It's okay to open up and let go~"

"I think he's just tossing around, what kind of rural theme, is to expose China's scars and go to foreign countries to win awards, I am most annoyed by this kind of film."

Most netizens seem to think that Gu Xiaofan is abandoning the mainstream audience and currying favor with the professional judges, which makes them a little unacceptable.

On Yanying's campus BBS, most of the students were excited to cheer for Gu Xiaofan's decision, in their words: "Gu Xiaofan has finally broken away from vulgar business and returned to the embrace of art films." ”

In their minds, they don't care whether the film is good at the box office or not, and they care about whether the film can win the international stage and achieve artistic achievements.

On the other hand, taking advantage of this topic, "Chinese Partner" continues to be hot, and the box office of "Transformers" in the first week of release broke through the trembling 100 million mark, and 70% of the theater screens are occupied by "Autobots", "Chinese Partner" still got a good report card of 21.87 million.

And "Pirates of the Caribbean: The End of the World" dropped to 5.12 million like a roller coaster.

According to this result, in the next week, the total domestic box office of "Chinese Partner" will almost definitely surpass "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", which makes Warner feel a little unbelievable.

Sure enough, in the sixth week, "Chinese Partner" still won 13.47 million at the box office, surpassing "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" in one fell swoop with a score of 137.21 million, becoming the third highest-grossing movie this year.

Take a look at the one in front of him, "Spider-Man 3", which got 150 million, and "Transformers", which broke through 180 million in two weeks after its release, is proud enough as a domestic film with a production cost of only 5 million US dollars.

However, according to the percentage of box office decline, the potential of "Chinese Partner" in the mainland has also been exhausted, and with the gradual decrease in the number of screens, it will be good to be able to collect 10 million box office when it is released offline.

But there is no doubt that this domestic film has created a miracle, a myth! In the case of a head-to-head showdown with three Hollywood blockbusters in the summer file, not only did he retreat, but he also defeated the second and got a box office of 140 million!

Even Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong and others, who lent the screen, thought in their hearts that "Chinese Partner" could reach 70 million to recover the cost at the beginning, but no one expected that in the end, he killed the two major opponents of "Soul Chariot" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", and the box office was more than double that of 70 million.

This made Han Sanpin, Wang Zhongjun and others extremely vigilant, because after the summer vacation, the next box office war is the New Year file at the end of the year.

If it is said that in the summer file, "Chinese Partner" represents the interests of all domestic filmmakers, and everyone is an ally in the same trench, then in the Chinese New Year file, everyone will become mortal enemies who fight each other.

The sudden rise of "Chinese Partner" made Chu Qiubai feel that the power of Shangying has gradually grown, and he has no right to speak in the Distribution and Projection Association, and he began to have peers take the initiative to contact him to make friends, and many theater managers have begun to establish relationships with him.

And in this good form, hearing that Gu Xiaofan's new work was going to shoot rural themes, Chu Qiubai was a little uneasy.

In the evening, Gu Xiaofan walked into the office, Chu Qiubai was smoking, his expression couldn't show any emotion, seeing Gu Xiaofan come in, Chu Qiubai hurriedly stood up to greet him: "Director Gu, here, sit~"

"You don't seem to be in a good mood?" Gu Xiaofan sat down and looked at Chu Qiubaidao.

"Huh?" Chu Qiubai poured him tea, and turned his head to look at him, his eyes seemed to want to see through Gu Xiaofan: "How can you see that?" ”

"No matter how busy you usually are, you will definitely look up at me as soon as I come in, and today I walked in, and you are still thinking about other things." Gu Xiaofan smiled faintly and picked up the teacup on the table.

"Well, the observation is good, and it is really good material to be an actor." Chu Qiubai looked at Gu Xiaofan appreciatively and nodded:

"Director Gu, then I have something to say, I do have something to be sure about now."

"Do you want to ask me about the next movie?" Gu Xiaofan blinked and said.

"En......" Chu Qiubai nodded, Gu Xiaofan is now the signboard of Shangying, he really wants to know what kind of medicine Gu Xiaofan sells in the gourd of the next movie, after all, Shangying has made a name for himself in the industry, and he should cherish his hard-won prestige even more.

"See for yourself." Gu Xiaofan directly took out the USB flash drive, plugged it into Chu Qiubai's computer, and opened a word document, which was the script he had prepared earlier.

When Chu Qiubai saw that the name of the script was "Dear", he was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Gu Xiaofan and ask, "Is it a romance movie?" ”

Romance films are box office poison in the eyes of any filmmaker, and there is no precedent for success, even Zhao Wei, Jiang Wen starring "Green Tea", Takeshi Kaneshiro, Zhou Xun "If Love" and other top casts have received a very poor response in the market.

"No, it's a realistic abduction theme." Gu Xiaofan's answer caught Chu Qiubai off guard
