Wei Yang's "prophecy" really came true, and the box office of "Dawudang: The Code of Heaven and Earth" on the first day was less than 5 million.

There is one more box office strong "Rise to Fame", and "The Four Famous Catches" has been adjusted, the data of this movie is worse than Wei Yang's impression in his previous life, and whether it can reach 30 million is a question.

At the end of July, "Painted Skin 2" stumbled and finally surpassed "Let the Bullets Fly", setting a new record and becoming the first in the history of Chinese film box office.

Director Wu Ershan is famous!

Not long after, the box office of "Rise to Fame" exceeded 400 million, second only to "Painted Skin 2" among the Chinese films that have been released this year, and it also entered the top five of the year including imported films.

Wei Yang, who wrote, directed and acted by himself, also became famous in the film industry!

Some film media said that the biggest surprise in this summer was not the movies, but the excavation of two excellent commercial film directors, and two new fierce generals in the Chinese film industry.

Among them, Wu Ershan is good at technology and graphics, and the special effects and art style of "Painted Skin 2" are still very strong.

Wei Yang's advantage is the plot and character building, the plot logic of "Rise to Fame" is smooth, the characters have distinct personalities, and several theme elements are blended, which is very in line with everyone's impression of Wei Yang's screenwriting background.

In terms of box office, "Painted Skin 2" performed better, but it was somewhat stained with the light of its predecessor.

"Rise to Fame" has a word-of-mouth advantage, but unfortunately the box office has not reached a higher level.

In contrast, everyone is more optimistic about Wei Yang, and there is still more praise for him, "Painted Skin 2" has somewhat lowered Wu Ershan's score due to its controversial nature.

However, although there are few directors in Chinese films like Wei Yang who can tell good stories, there are still some directors, but there are too few directors who can play well with technology.

For so many years, when it comes to Chinese special effects blockbusters, the only thing that can be remembered is Xu Laowei, which shows the extent to which there is a lack of relevant talents.

Scarcity is expensive, this is the most valuable thing about Wuershan, China is too short of this kind of director who can make a good special effects blockbuster.

Wei Yang had no intention of separating himself from Wu Ershan, he didn't plan to mix in the directing profession from the beginning, and "Becoming Famous" was a special case.

So the director's achievements don't matter to him, on the contrary, from the perspective of film and television investors, Wei Yang himself is quite optimistic about Wu Ershan.

Put aside the "Fengshen" trilogy or something, if Wu Ershan wants to do something like "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", Wei Yang is very willing to participate.

In August, the roadshow of "Rise to Fame" has all ended, and it is up to the publicity and distribution team to come by itself, breaking 500 million red envelopes, and more than 450 million can be accepted.

The major creators have all left, Wei Yang is the master, so he has to cooperate with the finishing, and before returning to the crew of "Celebrating More Than Years", he accepted an interview with the six princesses "China Movie Channel".

As CCTV's entertainment information program, although it is mainly aimed at Chinese movies, TV drama news is also broadcast.

Wei Yang has dealt with them a lot, and this time "Rise to Fame" is even more so, everyone is more familiar with it, and the scope of the interview is very harmonious.

Hostess: "Up to now, the box office of "Rise to Fame" has exceeded 400 million, the second in the summer file, and it is also a great result throughout the year, are you satisfied with this result? ”

"Satisfied!"

The publicity work of "Rise to Fame" is about to come to an end, and Wei Yang's mood is also relaxed.

"Before the movie was released, we had a rough estimate, and the current data is higher than our basic expectations, and everyone in our crew is very happy."

Hostess: "This should be your first official director, is there any difference from before?" ”

"It's a lot of touching."

Wei Yang sighed a little: "There are too many things that the director is responsible for, which is much larger than my previous workload, and the movie and the TV series I used to shoot are two different types of film and television, which also brings a certain degree of difficulty to the director's work." ”

"I didn't see you say in an interview before that you don't plan to continue to be a director in the future?"

"That's right, I think my talent as a director is limited, I can't eat this business, maybe I will change my mind one day in the future, but I really have no plans to continue directing at the moment."

"Now many people say that you are a ghost director, don't you think it's a pity to give up directing?"

Wei Yang smiled: "I can also participate in the creation of good works to the audience in other positions." ”

Hostess: "A personal question, our choreographer is curious why you named the screenwriter Jiahui, is there any intention?" ”

"I don't have any special intentions, it's just a name that I thought of when I wrote the script, if I have to find a reason, it may be because I like Mr. Leung Ka-fai, so I had a flash of inspiration and thought of this name."

"We saw before that Mr. Leung Ka Fai is your favorite Xiangjiang actor."

"That's right."

"What about mainland actors?"

"Teacher Li Xuejian, I admire him very much, oh, and Teacher Ge You, this is not what he forced me to say (laughs)."

This question was also asked during the roadshow, and when Wei Yang answered at that time, it happened to be Uncle Ge next to him, and the old man was half-jokingly jealous on the spot.

So since then, Wei Yang has said that he likes his favorite mainland actor, and there is one more Uncle Ge, of course, the equivalent exchange is that in the future, Uncle Ge said that his most optimistic young actor in the mainland must have Wei Yang's name.

The interview chatted for half an hour, and Wei Yang answered a lot of questions, until the end was near, and the host asked the last question.

"Can you ask if you have any ideas for the next film?"

"Probably so."

"When is it expected to be released?"

"After "Celebrating More Than Years", I will work on a new movie, and if nothing else, it should be next year."

"I'm looking forward to your new work."

"Thank you."

“……”

After the interview, Wei Yang completely completed the promotion of "Rise to Fame", and immediately began to prepare to return to Hengdian for filming.

This was originally expected to be a month's leave, but if the effect was too good, it dragged on for more than ten days, and I had to rush back to work.

However, before returning to Hengdian, Wei Yang still went home to see his parents.

Earlier, it was said that his parents moved to the magic capital and could see each other more, but in fact, after the Spring Festival, he was busy filming and publicity, and he didn't have much time to accompany his parents.

But it's better than his hometown, at least the magic capital can still find time to go home and have a look, have a meal with him, and talk.

If you are in your hometown, you may not be able to have a meal with the old couple all year round.

Wei Yang drove to Yunhua Mansion, but found that his parents were not at home, so he asked the nanny and said that Comrade Wei Shan was in the store.

He could only put down the big bags and small bags he bought, Wei Yang drove away again, walked for about ten minutes, and parked at the door of a [Mingxue Fruit Store].

Wearing a mask, Wei Yang went into the store to look twice, and saw Comrade Wei sitting at the counter watching TV, and at the same time settling accounts for a mother and daughter who bought fruit.

Wei Yang didn't bother, and took a look at the layout of this fruit shop by the way.

The store is actually not big, fifty or sixty square meters, the layout is very delicate and clean, all kinds of fresh fruits are placed in it, and there are two freezers against the wall, where there are fruit plates that need to be refrigerated.

This is a new store made by the old couple of Weishan themselves, and the name of the store is to commemorate Mingxue Street, where their hometown has lived for decades.

As mentioned earlier, the old couple is not too old, and they can't sit still at home every day, so they have been thinking about opening a store, not trying to make money, mainly looking for something to do.

Wei Yang didn't stop him, so he made a request, don't do business that is tedious and tiring.

The old couple originally wanted to make curtains or dry cleaners in their old business.

But then I investigated the market and found that they were at the level of curtains in their hometown, and they could be beaten by people when they got the magic, the dry cleaners were complicated and trivial, and they were a bit buried, and the profits were not high.

So the old couple pondered for a long time, and they didn't know who they were listening to, but they felt that the fruit shop was a good business, and the customers were popular, not tired, and they saved the family's fruit money.

Full-time fruit shop, this kind of business was also opened in the magic capital in this era, and other cities can pay for death.

Even in the magic capital, there are a lot of things to pay attention to if you want to make money, but Wei Yang doesn't care, just toss and play for the old couple.

If the fruit can be sold, it can be sold, and if it can't be sold, it will be directly pulled to companies such as Blue Whale and Red Shark to give benefits to employees.

Nowadays, Wei Yang's employees are not a thousand but hundreds of them, and the goods in this one fruit store may not be enough.

With their son in charge, Wei Shan's old couple opened the store, took turns to look at the store every day, and hired two small workers.

Wei Yang doesn't know whether he is making or losing, anyway, the old couple has something to do and is full of energy, so he is very happy.

The daughter of the mother and daughter, who had settled the account, seemed to see that something was wrong, and glanced at Wei Yang with some hesitation, but after all, she didn't dare to admit it, and left with her mother in a tangled way.

As soon as the two guests left, Wei Shan was left in the store, and the little worker went to lunch, Wei Yang took off his mask, took a plate of watermelon from the freezer, and ate it with a fork.

"I think this business is average."

"Who will buy fruit at noon, there are many visitors in the morning and evening, don't eat cold, ice stomach, want to eat freshly cut."

Wei Shan took a knife to cut a fresh melon for his son, but was stopped by Wei Yang, so he was greedy for this cold.

"Have you eaten?"

"No, I came right here."

"Then I'll call Xiao Liu and ask Xiao Liu to bring you one."

"Everything."

Wei Yang was not hungry, not to mention eating watermelon, compared to lunch, he was more curious about where his mother Wang Yunping went.

Under normal circumstances, my mother is either at home or in a fruit store, and rarely goes out alone, at most I go to my aunt's for a turn.

"You don't know? Your mom went to Hengdian. ”

"What...... Ahem. ”

Wei Yang was almost choked to death by the watermelon, and looked at his father a little confused: "What is she doing in Hengdian, didn't she call a few days ago to tell her that I ran publicity?" ”

"It's not for you, she went to visit the class, isn't Liying filming there, who knows how the two of them worked together, Liying sent someone to pick up your mother, it's been a few days."

Wei Shan explained, Wei Yang's scalp has exploded, Liu Shishi can film in Hengdian now, and Tang Yan is also there, so why won't he bump into it.........
