Chapter 231: Failed Solicitation

After the Spring Festival holiday, migrant workers from all over the country have returned to work and continue to live a life of good fortune with some 996 and some 007.

The flow of people in the capital is increasing day by day, and soon it becomes crowded again.

[The Return of the Great Sage] has also dropped from more than 60 million at the box office the previous day to more than 30 million, which is normal, after all, everyone has gone to work, and only some student parties who have not finished the winter vacation have time to go to the movies.

After the box office broke one billion, everyone knew that a new box office record for domestic films was about to be produced.

After all, the original record holder [Thai Embarrassment] only had a box office of 1.267 billion, and it was released at the end of 2012, more than 2 years ago.

In the middle of this, Zhou Xingchi's [Journey to the West] and Gu Wei's [Chinatown Detective] were once close to this number, but they were still a little short of breaking it.

It stands to reason that after more than two years of domestic theater construction, the number of big screens in the country is now much more than when [Thailand] was released.

The better the chance of a new film achieving a high box office, the better.

It's a pity that making movies is not about doing math problems, no matter how many movie theaters are built, the quality of the movie is not good, the audience does not buy it, and the box office is not high.

Therefore, the development of China in recent years has only raised the box office ceiling of excellent movies, and the good-looking ones that the audience likes will be a big hit, and those that are not good are still not good.

Many people in the circle have wondered which director's masterpiece will eventually surpass [Thai Embarrassment] and become the new box office record holder.

Some guess that it is Jiang Wen, after all, the [Let the Bullets Fly] a few years ago was too amazing, and the box office reputation was a bumper harvest, just like the director himself said, he earned money while standing.

It's a pity that after the release of Jiang Wen's new film [One Step Away] at the end of 14 years, this conjecture was shattered.

The word-of-mouth of this movie is seriously polarized, and those who like it think it is a god film, Jiang Wen and Ge Wei are two great actors, and there are various metaphors in the whole film, and there are points that can be dug deep everywhere, which is very enjoyable.

Most of the people I hate are an attitude, what is this, I can't understand it at all, forget it, go back and read the movie review.

When a movie needs the audience to go back and read the movie review to understand it, it is completely detached from the masses and reduced to the self-esteem of a small number of people.

Audiences all over the country know that Jiang Wen is talented, and in "Let the Bullets Fly", he told an easy-to-understand story to the audience, and after reading it, he can taste a lot of things from it, so everyone likes it.

It may be that the previous success made Jiang Wen a little floating, [one step away] completely fell into his own world, he only expressed himself, regardless of whether the audience could understand it or not, he was a little casual and selfish, and it was difficult for the audience to resonate.

In the end, this movie got a box office of 500 million, although it is already a big hit in the eyes of ordinary directors, but it is Jiang Wen, the box office of the last "Let the Bullets Fly" was 670 million, and audiences across the country are looking forward to his next work.

Some people also think that it will be Zhou Xingchi, after all, last year's [Journey to the West Demon Chapter] achieved 1.25 billion, and it was only more than 10 million short of breaking the record.

Others think it may be veteran directors like Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou, one is the box office king of domestic comedies, and the other is the founder of domestic blockbusters.

But no one expected that the final record-breaking would be an animated movie, and the director was completely unknown.

Before the release of "The Return of the Great Sage", no one in the film and television industry knew Tian Xiaopeng at all.

This situation was unexpected by everyone, and in just 13 days, the box office of [The Return of the Great Sage] broke one billion like chopping melons and vegetables.

Although the Spring Festival has now ended, and the single-day box office of the movie has also dropped, there are still nearly 3 weeks to go, and everyone is waiting to see what the final box office will be.

The box office explosion of "The Return of the Great Sage" also has a role, which is to drive the development of the animated film industry.

The first people to eat crabs are a few and courageous, but there are too many people who see others succeed and then follow suit.

Gu Wei has Guangguang Media as a partner around him to invest in it, and there are many other film and television companies that intend to develop in this area.

In the past few days, there has been good news in the company.

After two months of editing and post-production, [A Smile is Alluring] was finally completed.

watched a few episodes in the screening room, Gu Wei was very satisfied, the plot was not much different from the original, but the final effect was much better.

Needless to say, in terms of actors, Gu Wei had no trouble crushing Yang Yang in terms of appearance, and when he played [Left Ear], he was in the same frame as Yang Yang, and the two of them standing together could only be said to be a bit of a bully of Teacher Yang Yang.

Not to mention Naza, the gap with Shuangzi is not too big, and there is no crotch pulling with Zhang Songwen's counseling in terms of acting, the whole process is online, not much inferior to the original.

Because Gu Wei is very abundant in terms of funds, the various characters in the TV series are dressed, the scene layout, and some game pictures are very good.

At first glance, it is well-made.

There was also a small episode in post-production, director Lin Yufen found Gu Wei when he was making the soundtrack for the TV series at the end, and wanted him to write a theme song for the film, after all, Gu Wei's talent in music is obvious to all, and it is normal for his own film to make a song.

Gu Wei agreed, turned his head and asked the people in the company to find Wang Sulong, [A slight smile is very captivating] The original theme song [A smile is alluring] was written by him, Gu Wei felt that the original music was perfect, and there was no need to bother to make another song by himself.

His current idea is to use money to solve the things that can be solved with money, and try to solve them with money, and lie down if he can.

"Director Lin, it's been hard work in the past two months."

In Gu Wei's office, Director Lin Yufen sat on the guest sofa, with the Longjing tea that Gu Wei had made for her in front of him.

"Mr. Gu is serious, it's all for work, and these are what I should do as a director."

Lin Yufen said with a smile, picked up the steaming teacup in front of him and took a sip slowly.

"I have been filming for so long and have worked with many directors, in my opinion, Director Lin, you are definitely a master in idol dramas, whether it is the control of the plot or the shaping of the male and female protagonists, you are unique."

"Mr. Gu, you are too awarded~"

"I don't know what Director Lin's work arrangements will be next?"

Gu Wei sat opposite and asked casually.

Lin Yufen hesitated.

"Director Li Guoli of [Sugar Man] came to me, and their company was going to shoot a TV series with the theme of [Liao Zhai], and asked me to be the chief director."

"[Sugar Man], I remember that last year's [Heartless Mage] was directed by Director Lin, and it was also a very good film."

"I am friends with Li Guoli, and I worked with [Sugar Man] a lot at first."

After chatting for a while, Lin Yu got up and said goodbye.

Gu Wei originally wanted to invite Lin Yufen to his company as a contracted director, but he has saved a lot of IP over the years, and in the end, they have to be turned into film and television, and there is a lack of directors like Lin Yufen who has both ability and works.

It's a pity that Lin Daozhi is not here, Gu Wei twice expressed the intention of soliciting, but she politely refused.

Think about it, Lin Yufen is a director from Hong Kong Island, originally filmed a lot of TV series for [Sugar Man], and last year accepted the employment of [Ciwen Film and Television] to shoot [Hua Qiangu], if the timeline remains unchanged, she will also accept the invitation of [Huace] and [Jiaxing] to shoot [Three Lives and Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms].

It can be said that they maintain a good relationship with these big companies in the TV drama circle, and they do not fall to any party, and it is normal to refuse Gu Wei now.

After Director Lin left, Gu Wei called Zhao Mingcheng in.

This TV series is still the producer of him.

In addition to the normal remuneration in the contract, Director Lin will give her a big red envelope.

Let's just say that I would like to thank her for her hard work for the first time! ”

Zhao Mingcheng understood what Gu Wei meant as soon as he heard it.

In the circle, it is very normal for film and television companies to win over these famous directors.
