The next day, Gu Wei returned to the crew to continue filming.

At noon, Gu Wei and Bai Lily chatted while eating a boxed lunch.

"Gu Wei, Chen He's news, have you read it?"

Gu Wei took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth, not surprised by Bai Lily's gossip.

"See."

"Tsk~ No one thought that Chen He's incident could make such a big fuss!"

Her agent is the famous Wang Jinghua, and her husband Chen Yufan is also from the Beijing circle, and he can have some relationship with Huayi.

Otherwise, Feng Xiaogang would not have asked her to play one of the heroines when he filmed [Private Custom].

Chen He's current agency is Huayi, and the two also know each other.

Seeing that he is now in a black state, Bai Lily is also a little embarrassed in his heart.

It seems that yesterday's Chen He was still a popular star liked by many people because of his running man, and he was beaten into hell overnight and became a scumbag that everyone shouted at.

"The main thing is that he and his ex-wife showed affection too much before, 13 years of long-distance love, a lover finally became a family, and now he has ruined all this with his own hands, how can he not be counterattacked."

Saying that, Gu Wei looked at Bai Lily's face and said meaningfully:

"So if it's just for the sake of profit to show affection in front of the camera, once you are caught, netizens won't have a good time."

Bai Lily nodded, not hearing anything in Gu Wei's words at all, but sighed.

"This time it's Zhuo Wei's revelation again, he, the No. 1 paparazzi in the entertainment industry, is really worthy of his name!"

Gu Wei looked at her face and didn't answer, he remembered that the exposer of Bai Lily's "One Finger Zen" incident seemed to be Zhuowei's popular studio.

"By the way, Gu Wei, do you have a girlfriend?"

After chatting about Chen He's cheating, Bai Lily began to gossip about Gu Wei again.

"Nope."

Gu Wei said as a matter of course.

"Really? I don't believe it. ”

Bai Lily looked skeptical.

"You look so handsome, and there have been so many scandals on the Internet before, can you still have a girlfriend?"

"Sister Lily, you said it all, it's a scandal, how can you take it seriously?"

Gu Wei's face was innocent.

"Then if you don't have a girlfriend, don't you need me to introduce you, my sister knows a lot of good-looking little girls."

Bai Lily looked at Gu Wei with a smile on her face.

"Haha, you won't have to bother with this, I'm still young, and my career is important.

Sister Lily, why haven't you seen your husband come to visit the class for so many days? ”

Gu Wei laughed and changed the topic.

Speaking of her husband, Bai Lily's interest immediately dropped, and she said copingly:

"He has his own things to do, and he usually doesn't interfere much when I film."

With the passage of time, the filming of [Monster Hunt] gradually entered the later stage, and the filming progress of the crew was advancing at a high speed.

On this day, Tang Wei and Yao Chen also joined the group, and their roles were not in the original script, but because of the reshoot, some plots could not be connected, so they had to be found to play the roles of two characters who connected the plot.

The scene is very simple, Yao Chen's scene does not even have a shot in the same frame as Gu Wei.

It was all over in one day.

Gu Wei had met Yao Chen a few times when he participated in the event before, but there was no intersection between them, and everyone was a complete stranger.

Tang Wei is the first time he has seen him offline, very beautiful, although the facial features are not three-dimensional, and the face shape is also a little round, but the demeanor is elegant and generous, and there is a traditional intellectual charm of oriental women.

Her agency is Jiang Zhiqiang's Anle Film Company, so it is not surprising to ask her to make a cameo.

"Hello, the first time we met, I am Tang Wei."

In the crew, Tang Wei, who joined the group, shook hands with Gu Wei and introduced himself.

"Hello, Sister Tang Wei, I'm Gu Wei, you are more beautiful than in the movies I watched before."

79-year-old Tang Wei is 13 years older than Gu Wei, looks bright and moving, and has the charm of a mature woman.

Praising a woman for being beautiful is always the best way to get closer to her, especially for a handsome guy of Gu Wei's level, it is more sincere to say it.

"Tang Wei is beautiful, am I not beautiful?"

Bai Lihe interjected on the side, she and Tang Wei had known each other for a long time, so they were also very casual when talking.

"You are also very beautiful, but you are still a little worse than a goddess like Sister Tang Wei.

Our crew has made you so black again, it's even more incomparable! ”

Gu Wei said jokingly.

"Gu Wei!"

Bai Lily picked up the crew's props and whip and made a gesture to beat.

Gu Wei hurriedly walked around to Tang Wei's back.

"I'm afraid of you, you're also a big beauty, okay~"

"Hmph~ It's pretty much the same, let you go."

After that, he showed an expression that counted him as a kid.

After acting for more than 20 days in "Monster Hunt", the two of them also brought out some of the ways in which the heroes and heroines get along in the play, and it feels quite interesting to play and make trouble.

Tang Wei watched the two of them play treasure on the side, smiling silently, acting like a goddess.

From the beginning of January, when Gu Weijin filmed "Monster Hunt", [Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage] began pre-release publicity activities under the auspices of the two distributors of Guangguang Media and Wanda Film and Television.

Although Gu Wei really took out 32 million as publicity funds, and the two major publishers did make a contribution, in fact, the publicity effect of [The Return of the Great Sage] was not very ideal.

There is no way, in this time period of 15 years, the impression of domestic audiences on domestic animated films is that they are cartoons for children, and they are not something that adults watch at all.

Especially the animated movies like "Pleasant Goat" and "Bear Infested" series released before have deepened people's impression.

So if you don't have children, no adult wants to watch an animated movie alone.

For more than ten days in a row, the publicity of various online and offline channels has also made [The Return of the Great Sage] a little famous, at least in the eyes of some audiences, it is familiar, and the tens of millions of publicity and distribution fees are not spent in vain.

But if this inherent impression in the audience's mind cannot be reversed, the box office in the early stage of the movie's release may not be too high.

On January 30, [Bear Infested Snow Ridge Bear Wind] was released, and this movie is the first animated film released in this year's Chinese New Year.

With the deep popularity accumulated by the "Bear Infested" series of cartoons, "Snow Ridge Bear Wind" accounted for 18% of the national film schedule on the first day of release, with a box office of 27.72 million on the same day.

This box office result ranked second in the national box office on the same day, and the first was also the new film released on the same day - the variety movie [Run, Brother].

Since the beginning of 14 years, the popular variety show "Where Are You Going, Dad" has been made into a movie and released, and has achieved excellent box office results, and the door to this kind of popular variety show in China has been opened.

No matter how passers-by and the audience scold or critics criticize, as long as they make money, this kind of comprehensive reform movie will continue to be made.

[Run, Brother] is also worthy of being the most popular variety show this year, with a box office of 79.81 million on the first day of release, accounting for more than half of the total box office in the country that day.

On Saturday, the 31st, [Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Year of the Sheep] was released, and this cartoon with a somewhat twisting name is the same as "Bear Infested", which has a deep audience base.

However, the quality is a little far from [Bear Infested], it is completely a cartoon shown in a movie theater, not much different from what you see on TV.

The box office on the first day was only 14.75 million, less than half of the box office on the first day of [Bear Infested].

[Let's Run] won a box office result of 85.8 million on Saturday, shocking a lot of filmmakers.

On Sunday, February 1, [Let's Run] continued its box office miracle, achieving a score of 64.47 million on the same day, and in 3 days, the box office of the movie in the first week was as high as 230 million, taking the lead among the movies released a year ago.

3 days after its release, the Douban score of the movie also came out, with only a pitiful 3.6 points, and tens of thousands of people rated the movie on the platform, and there was a lot of scolding in the comment area.

[In the future, let's just open a genre for this kind of movie, don't have any comedy, reality show, it's more appropriate to call it circle money. ]

If you want to be happy, there is a lot of way, how empty does this be, this is also worthy of being called a movie? 】

[In the past two years, I have never used my brains to do variety shows in China, and I only need to introduce them if I have money and willfulness.

The part of the running man variety show has not been done well, the blunt cooperation, the repeated replay of the camera in one episode, and the link of tearing off the famous brand can actually be made into a whole episode.

Seven are not very well coordinated, these can be slowly run-in, but the circle of money is that you are not right, this kind of movie will never be watched. 】

[I'm not opposed to variety shows being made into movies.]

In fact, I think as long as it is shown in a movie theater and there are audiences willing to pay for tickets, whether it is a variety show or a football concert, there is no problem at all.

The only requirement is that since it is to be sold and consumed as a movie, the audience must be allowed to see it in the same way that it is treated.

In this way, it is too low-tech, so it is reasonable to have a low evaluation. 】

[This is a variety show, not a movie, just another means of making money......]

【. 】

I don't know if it's affected by the bad reviews on the Internet, or because fans have already watched the movie in the first three days, the box office of [Run] on Monday was cut in half, reporting 29.86 million.

The box office of [Bear Infested] on Monday was also not ideal, only 14.35 million, and [Pleasant Goat] was only 4.53 million.

The two animated films released during the Chinese New Year can't go too far depending on the situation, especially [Pleasant Goat], it is difficult to break 100 million.

This is the real status quo of domestic animated films now.

"Okay, I know, tell Mr. Zhang of Wanda, try to get more films for our films, [Bear Infested] has 18% of the film schedule, our big production with an investment of 100 million yuan, how can it be worse than [Bear Infested]!

When the filming is finished in the past two days, I will promote it on the Internet, and you will get the employees in the fan base ready, and then mobilize the fans to watch the movie on the first day of the release.

I'm the producer of the movie, and this is my movie, isn't it normal for fans to support it?

Okay, that's it, I'll go back to the office in two days. ”

During the filming of [Monster Hunt], Gu Wei received a call from his agent to report to him the current publicity situation of [The Return of the Great Sage].

After explaining some things, Gu Wei hung up the phone.

As he said, now he is the producer of [The Return of the Great Sage], of course, for the sake of publicity.

This is also the idea of Guangguang Media, which wants to use Gu Wei's fame to attract popularity to this animated film.

If you can fool Gu Wei's fans into watching the movie, you will make a lot of money.

Of course, Gu Wei has no opinion on this attention, now he has accounted for 60% of the total investment of [Return of the Great Sage], and he is the largest investor, and most of the money he makes in the end also falls into his own pocket, so why not use his fame in order to promote the movie.

Besides, this movie is not a bad movie, but a good movie with high quality, not counting the leeks of cutting your own fans.

In this year's Chinese New Year, the domestic film market is a mournful country, there are no movies that can make people shine, and the market is also extremely sluggish.

At this time in previous years, there would always be one or two movies that stood up and resisted the banner of the domestic film box office, such as last year's [Chinatown Detective] [Private Custom], the year before last year's [Thai Embarrassment], and [Journey to the West], all of which achieved excellent results in the Chinese New Year.

This year, everyone was hoping for the blockbuster [Taiping Wheel] to be released last month, but unfortunately the big ship sank as soon as it was released, and there were no domestic films with particularly outstanding box office for two months in December and January.

Gu Wei feels that this is also an opportunity, no blockbuster release means that there is no competitive pressure, at least in the film scheduling [The Return of the Great Sage] will have a great advantage.

Like the original version of "The Return of the Great Sage" was released in this year's summer file, and Director Chen's "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain", Da Peng's "Pancake Man" and Guo Xiaosi's "Little Times 4" were released at the same time, how can you make [The Return of the Great Sage] an unfamous animated movie earn a film with them.

Gu Wei believes that as long as the publicity is in place, this film will not only be the pioneering work of China's high-quality animated films, but also carry the banner of the box office of domestic films for the Chinese New Year.
