Chapter 113: Universal Records

As Gu Wei expected, [Detective Chinatown], which was released at the same time, had a certain impact on [Private Custom] at the box office.

Both in terms of the proportion of scheduled films and the box office data on the first day are lower than those of the original time and space.

After all, it's only 2013, and the number of screens nationwide is limited.

The market is so big, no matter how hot your movie is, the attendance rate reaches 100%, and the box office is also limited, which is the limitation of hardware conditions.

Unlike a few years later, the number of domestic screens has increased several times compared to now, and even if several blockbusters are released at the same time on the same day, as long as the audience supports them, everyone has the possibility of a box office of over 100 million.

Gu Wei didn't care too much about this box office data, Feng Xiaogang would definitely be slapped in the face in the end.

There are still 3 days left, and for the final box office results of [Tang Detective], he has to hold on a little more and finish the remaining two box office cities within the plan.

Just when Gu Wei was running propaganda without distractions, the second week passed quickly.

On Sunday evening, he sat in the car to Shencheng Airport, and his whole body was slumped in his seat, his eyes closed and his mind empty.

I'm so tired these days.

Although it is not physical work, it requires sweat.

But the publicity team lined up his schedule very full, just came out of this studio, got in the car and immediately went to the next studio.

There is basically no time to rest in between.

The time spent at each promotional location is also calculated very accurately, after all, the itinerary is arranged, and the audience who is looking forward to his arrival cannot wait too long.

Gu Wei also didn't have the habit of being late.

Every day, I have to take time out of the car on the road to solve the problem, and it is basically late at night to fly from one city to another.

The whole person rotates continuously, and the mental exhaustion is much greater than the body.

Back to the capital, a good night's rest.

The next day, Gu Wei came to the company.

Zhao Mingcheng, the manager he hadn't seen for a long time, showed up in the company.

"Mr. Zhao, has the [Crown Princess's Promotion] been completed?"

"I finished a few days ago, and I stayed at Xiangshan for a few more days to finish it.

Now the director is busy with post-editing, and it is estimated that the film will be completed in a week or two. ”

For [Crown Princess], the first TV series he has filmed since joining the company, Zhao Mingcheng attaches great importance to it.

The success of this TV series is related to whether he can really stand on his feet in [Wei Mingxia].

Gu Wei is also looking forward to this web drama, and his cameo scene in it was filmed early.

With the director and small team on the company's side, the venue only needs an outdoor swimming pool and some group performances.

"When the TV series comes out, let's talk about the price on the three major video platforms.

With the current popularity of the [Tang Detective] movie and the gimmick of my cameo, it is estimated that the price will be much easier to negotiate. ”

Gu Wei thought for a moment and explained to Zhao Mingcheng.

Back to the office.

After a while, the agent sent him the box office data for the second week of the movie's release.

On Friday the 20th, the box office rebounded to 41.56 million.

Then on Saturday and Sunday, because it was a Saturday and Sunday, the box office rose to 56.41 million and 48.36 million respectively.

[Detective Tang Ren Street] was released in the second week and 7 days, and it received a total of 326.2 million box office.

As of today, Monday, [Tang Detective] has been released for two weeks and 12 days, with a total box office of 787.7 million.

You must know that the total box office of the original time and space [Detective Chinatown] is only 823 million.

It took Gu Wei two weeks to break this record.

Since its release, the film has set a number of box office records for Chinese-language films.

For example, the highest single-day box office record for Chinese films, the highest box office record for Chinese films in the first week, and the highest box office record for Chinese films in the second week, etc., have become the holders of new records.

The movie was a big hit at the box office, and Gu Wei was very happy.

Out of curiosity, he checked the box office results of [Private Custom] last week.

The box office in the first week was 280 million, which was 40 million less than the box office of [Tang Detective] in the second week, of course, it was released on Wednesday, and the box office was two days less.

Compared with the first week box office of the original time and space [Private Custom], it is also nearly 50 million less.

It is certain that this movie will make money, after all, Feng Xiaogang's comedy movies are often released before they are released, and they can return to their costs by relying on product placement.

But it is impossible to reach the box office of more than 700 million in the original time and space, let alone what Huayi shouted 1 billion.

Gu Wei thought about it for a while, according to the current box office trend, more than 500 million should be the limit of [private customization].

Thinking of this, his mood was even more relaxed.

Today is Monday, and the box office of [Tang Detective] has fallen further, but this trend is normal.

Two weeks after its release, after hundreds of thousands of ratings, although the Douban score of [Tang Detective] has slipped a little, it still has a good score of 8.2 points.

The high quality of the movie determines the long-term trend of the box office.

Gu Wei estimates that there is no problem at all for [Tang Detective] to break one billion, and as for how far it can go, it depends on whether the General Administration can give a chance for a long screening.

After all, last year's [Thai Embarrassment] was also able to achieve a good result of more than 1.2 billion because of the long-term screening of 2 months.

Gu Wei dealt with some backlog of affairs in the company.

In the afternoon, he took his agent and his party to the headquarters of Universal Music in Beijing.

As early as when Gu Wei posted songs on the Internet, many record companies contacted him, hoping to sign a contract with him.

Because of Zhang Liangying's relationship, Universal Music was also one of the first record companies to contact him.

Gu Wei released songs at that time just to accumulate popularity, copy popularity, and promote the release of the movie, so he rejected them one by one.

When [The Lonely Brave] came out, it dominated the major music platforms with a sweeping trend and was widely sung.

These record companies have sent invitations again, and the signing conditions have been raised to the level of first-line singers.

Gu Wei discussed with his agent seriously, compared the strength of these record companies, and the contracts they gave, and finally decided to sign a contract with Universal Music.

After all, it's normal to sign a record company as a star.

Now they all pay attention to film and television songs, and everyone loves all-round stars.

And even Yang Mi signed a contract with Zhang Liangying's Shaocheng era and released an album, Liu Yifei once signed a contract with Sony Records, Gu Wei is naturally not far behind.

Zhang Songhui, president of Universal Music's China branch, was in the office talking to his subordinates about Gu Wei.

"Mr. Zhang, do we need to give Gu Wei such preferential conditions, his contract is already better than that of many first-line singers."

"You've also heard three of his songs, what do you think?" Zhang Songhui did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

The subordinate hesitated

"Three capitals is a rare masterpiece, and it is the level of the title song in each album.

Especially the song "The Lonely Brave", it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a classic.

But after all, he has only released three songs, and it has been less than 3 months since he released the songs. ”

Zhang Songhui smiled and explained

"It's no longer the original record era, it's the Internet era, and the popularity of a popular song may exceed the efforts of several albums of the original old singer.

I'm optimistic about Gu Wei, not just because of the popularity of his three good songs now.

Also because of his talent in music.

I heard Zhang Liangying say that Gu Wei's songs were all recorded when she was in Shaocheng.

The number is far more than the three songs that have been released.

I am optimistic that he will become the next 'pop king' in the Chinese music scene. ”

"Mr. Zhang, Gu Wei has arrived."

As soon as the words fell, the assistant outside the door knocked on the door and reminded.
