The time came to the beginning of August unconsciously, and more than half of the summer vacation passed at a lightning speed, and the most anxious at this time should be the student party.

At the beginning of July, when the holiday season was just over, every day was happy, as if the long summer vacation would never pass.

However, in August, every day I passed was closer to school, and it seemed that I had entered the countdown, and my mood slowly became anxious, and most importantly, I didn't write any summer homework.

Last month, the competition between the two rival writers in the directorial class also came to an end.

[Small Times 3: Thorn Gold Age] exploded again without an accident, and achieved a good result of 520 million.

Of course, word-of-mouth is also as bad as ever, with a score of 4.7 on Douban, and there are endless criticisms on the Internet, except for hardcore book fans, there is basically no applause.

[Small Times 3], which was originally released first, had such good results, and when everyone thought that the ending was set, [There Will Be No Future] achieved a good result of breaking 70 million at the box office in a single day as soon as it was released.

followed by breaking through the 300 million yuan mark in 4 days, and then crossing the 400 million yuan mark in 7 days, and in the 11 days of the film's release, the cumulative box office reached 513 million yuan, and as of August 4, the cumulative box office in 12 days has exceeded 525 million yuan.

In the previous historical data, [Hou Hui Wuzhi] is the fastest Chinese film to break 500 million in the non-Chinese New Year file.

Looking at the trend movie, the final box office landing point will be above 600 million, steadily surpassing [Small Times 3].

What is especially rare is that the film's reputation has been excellent while exploding at the box office, with a Douban score of 7.2 points for more than ten days after its release, crushing most domestic films.

Gu Wei has seen this movie before, and he can't remember the plot anymore, but Pu Shu's song "Ordinary Road" has always been remembered clearly.

He feels that this song adds a lot of points to the movie, the movie is not necessarily a classic, but this song must be a classic.

Han Han's success further proves that you don't have to be a professional to be a director, as long as you are popular and have ideas, everyone can be a director.

As a result, a craze for cross-border directors slowly appeared, and of course, these actors had the most ideas.

In the past, there were Zhao Wei, Xu Zheng, Gu Wei, Chen Sicheng, and Deng Chao, all of whom were actors who challenged to be directors, and they all succeeded without accidents.

Now walking on this road are Wu Jinghe, who has already filmed "Wolf Warrior" and is waiting for the release, and Dapeng, who is filming "Pancake Man".

"Hello, Mr. Gu Wei, thank you very much for coming and making a cameo appearance in my movie, I like your [Detective Chinatown] very much, both the storyline and the shooting technique are fantastic."

[Pancake Man] crew, as soon as Gu Wei arrived, he was warmly welcomed by his friends.

As soon as they met, they held Gu Wei's hand, and all kinds of touting words came out of Da Peng's mouth without money.

"Gu Wei, thank you for coming~"

Chen Zhixi, who was standing on the side, said to Gu Wei with a smile.

"Sister Zhixi, we don't need to say thank you for our relationship, you can just call me for this kind of trivial matter.

What's more, I've also watched [Dick Silk Man], and I've long wanted to get to know Director Dapeng. ”

Gu Wei replied to Chen Zhixi with a smile, and his words gave enough face to the two of them.

Da Peng, formerly known as Dong Chengpeng, was first the host of Sohu Video's star talk show [Star Online].

In 2010, he began to try to become a comedian under the teacher of comedy master Zhao Benshan.

In 2012, a series of short dramas starring actress Martina Hill in Germany achieved great success in China with its crazy and absurd, self-consuming, and vulgar performance style, and its popularity far surpassed that of Germany.

Not only ranks high in the download list and on-demand list of various video websites in China, but also in Weibo and the media, it has aroused heated discussions and topic dissemination, and netizens have vividly translated it as [Lady Dick].

Seeing this popularity, Sohu intends to imitate the form of [Lady Dick Silk] to make a short drama with a strong Chinese Dick Silk color.

So Da Peng took this task and wrote, directed and acted in the comedy short film "Dick Silk Man".

Unexpectedly, once it was broadcast, the short film became popular.

When filming the first season, Da Peng still relied on his connections to invite some friends to participate in the filming.

When the second season was filmed in 13, stars from all walks of life took the initiative to join for free, using [Dick Silk Man] as a small platform that could enhance their fame.

After accumulating more than 2 years of shooting experience, he began to have the idea of making his own film.

At first, he named the movie "Dick Silk Men's Movie".

At first, it didn't go well to find a few producers.

Someone recommended the film to the producer Chen Zhixi, and she was a little apprehensive at first, because in her opinion, if it was still according to the segmented structure of [Dick Silk Man], there would be no point in making this movie.

After meeting with Dong Chengpeng, the two hit it off on the perspective of structural issues, and after 45 days of preparation, [Pancake Man] was officially launched.

Although Gu Wei knew that the box office of "Pancake Man" sold as much as 1.1 billion after its release, and even surpassed his [Detective Chinatown], this movie is completely a movie of Da Peng alone, and it will inevitably hit the street if he changes his role.

In addition, with Dapeng's current fame, this movie with an investment of only 25 million is not short of investment at all, and the producers are Dapeng's old clubs Sohu Video and Wanda Film and Television, and there is no chance for Gu Wei to intervene at all.

A movie invited more than 20 stars to join, but it didn't cost a penny, and everyone was invited by friends to come over and make cameos.

Some are friends of big friends, some are here for the sake of Zhang Chaoyang's face in Sohu, and there are connections like Gu Wei who are producers Chen Zhixi.

Gu Wei's shot is very simple, he plays himself, he is a friend of Da Peng in the movie, and the original Lin Gengxin is that role.

"What is a brother? Just don't abandon and don't give up!

I've helped you with this, I'll take a look at the schedule. ”

Gu Wei pretended to look at the laptop in front of him while talking on the phone.

"21, 22, 23 are not good, 25 lines ~

No, you're mistaken, it's 2025! ”

"Cards! Over and over again! Teacher Gu Wei's performance is so good"

Da Peng sat behind the monitoring screen and said to Gu Wei with a loudspeaker.

Gu Wei, who finished the cameo, did not leave immediately, and the crew got off work in the evening, and Director Dapeng and Chen Zhixi entertained Gu Wei for dinner, accompanied by Liu Yan.

"Sister Liu Yan, long time no see~"

At the dinner table, Gu Wei greeted Liu Yan.

"Hello, Mr. Gu, we meet again, you are more handsome than before."

Seeing Gu Wei take the initiative to say hello, Liu Yan responded with a somewhat flattered smile.

Liu Yan was wearing a long black dress, although it was not a low-cut dress, but the exaggerated curves exposed her good figure.

Gu Wei sighed in his heart when he saw it, this capital is too thick, and Sister Mi is estimated to be a step worse.

"Do you know Teacher Gu?"

Da Peng looked surprised.

He and Liu Yan are both hosts, and they have known each other since 07.

When the first season of [Dick Silk Man] started, Dapeng was not very famous, he found Liu Yan, hoping that the other party could star in his own drama, but he didn't expect Liu Yan to accept it in one bite, so Dapeng has always thought that Liu Yan is his "benefactor".

Since then, the relationship between the two has become closer and they have become really good friends.

But he never knew that Liu Yan and Gu Wei still had a relationship.

You must know that Gu Wei's popularity is not ordinarily high now, not to mention the resources he can bring, just the exposure brought by appearing around him is beyond the reach of some small stars.

"When my movie was released last year, Sister Liu Yan was the host of the premiere, and thanks to Sister Liu Yan's wonderful hosting, it added a lot of luster to the premiere."

Without waiting for Liu Yan to answer, Gu Wei explained to Dapeng first.

"Mr. Gu is too polite, it's all for work, I just did what I should do."

Liu Yan said with a smile on his face when he heard Gu Wei's praise.

She is a person of light, and she has cooperated with Gu Wei several times, and she still has a deep understanding of Gu Wei.

Removing the identity of the actor and director that everyone knows, Gu Wei is also the CEO of a film and television company, and a boss-level figure who can work with Mr. Guangguang Wang, so she has always respected Gu Wei very much.

She didn't expect that just by meeting and saying a few words at that time, Gu Wei would be able to remember her as a little artist.

The guests and hosts of a meal are happy, and the big friends seem to really respect Gu Wei, and they will praise Gu Wei from time to time in the chat of the dinner, and occasionally tell a small joke to liven up the atmosphere, which is not a loss to be a comedy host.

Gu Wei also has a very good impression of Dapeng, he knows that although [Pancake Man] won the box office, it lost its reputation, and it is difficult for several movies directed by Dapeng to achieve such high box office results.

But he has seen both of the 2 movies directed by Da Peng in the later period, from [Sewing Machine Band] to [Keep You Safe], he really saw Da Peng's progress in directing, and he likes [Keep You Safe] very much, and thinks it is a rare good movie.
