[A slight smile is very captivating] is still on the air, but Gu Wei's main energy has been withdrawn from the TV series.

Because [Monster Hunt] is about to be released.

Although he didn't invest in this movie, he just got paid.

The filming time is also the shortest of all the film and television dramas he starred in, coupled with the shooting method full of green cloth, the sense of participation is really not strong.

However, as the male protagonist of the movie, Gu Wei still needs to cooperate with the distributor's various promotional activities.

[Anle Pictures] has put promotional materials into almost every theater in China early, so that no matter what movie the audience watches, the audience will unconsciously notice the huge poster of Gu Wei, Bai Lily and Huba.

The official Weibo online will also release the latest trailers from time to time to whet the audience's appetite.

The offline team began to hold offline press conferences in major cities across the country to promote the film.

Of course, Gu Wei, as the leading actor, inevitably followed the team to run publicity.

Fortunately, [An Le] didn't desperately squeeze him, and all he needed to go to was Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, and the time was not very rushed.

After the time entered July, the annual summer file also slowly kicked off.

As one of the most important schedules in China, the summer season has attracted more and more attention from insiders.

He is characterized by a long time, nearly 2 months, a younger movie-watching group, and students are on vacation.

Last year's summer season generated a total of 9.09 billion box office in the national film market, accounting for 30.7% of the annual share.

In other words, nearly one-third of the box office in 2014 was generated in the two months of the summer season.

And there is also a name for July, which is called Domestic Film Protection Month.

As early as 2004, the National Film Administration, from the perspective of supporting domestic films, orally issued a notice hoping that all theaters across the country would support domestic films, and around July every year, the introduction of overseas blockbusters was not encouraged.

Later, this became an unwritten practice in the industry to protect domestic films, and distributors and theaters tacitly abide by this rule, even if this statement has never been officially recognized.

As early as the end of June this year, there were no more overseas blockbusters, and the last Hollywood movie was "Jurassic World" released on June 10.

The fourth part of this [Jurassic Park] series did not smash Spielberg's signboard, both in terms of plot and picture effects, it is very good, it can be said that it is better than blue.

It was released for more than 20 days and swept the box office of 1.41 billion in China.

The word of mouth is also very good.

To be honest, this year's domestic films have been beaten to the ground by Hollywood blockbusters since April.

Since the release of [Fast and Furious 7] in early April, it has quickly swept the country with exaggerated box office data and hot popularity, and has become the new domestic box office champion with a box office score of 2.4 billion.

Then in May, it was taken over by [Avengers 2] and won a box office of 1.45 billion within a month.

The last is [Jurassic World] in June, one in January, and there is no way to live for domestic movies.

Only a few movies such as "Wolf Warrior", "Left Ear", and "He Yisheng Xiaomo" have made certain achievements with the differentiation of their themes in the gap between the release of two Hollywood blockbusters, but more domestic films have been crushed and there is no scum left.

The most typical is Fan Bingbing and Han Geng's [Everything Grows], if it weren't for the second week of the release of [Fast and Furious 7], they wouldn't even be able to earn back their capital.

This situation has led to everyone being a little afraid of Hollywood blockbusters, and domestic films that have some expectations for their box office do not want to be on the same schedule as these blockbusters, so the summer season has become a popular schedule for domestic movies to be released together.

On June 26, the youth love movie [I heard] of the hard-working male god Peng Yuyan was released, probably because the crew was too poor and found a small distributor with a little-known name.

As a result, the box office of the movie was 437,000 on the first day after its release, 1.352 million in the first week, and 2.43 million in total two weeks after its release, and then it was silently taken off the shelves by theaters.

Come quietly, go quietly, without causing a splash.

Although the box office hit the street, the reputation of this movie is very good, and the high score of 7.8 on Douban also comforts our hard-working male gods.

However, there is no most pounce, only more pounce.

The comedy movie "Otaku", which was released on the same day as [I heard], gave insiders a glimpse of what real street fighting is.

This youth comedy produced by [Bona Films], directed by the famous director Zhu Yanping, and starring Xiao Jingteng, Jiang Shuying, Da Peng, Xie Na and others, had a box office of 52,600 on the first day.

That's right, it's either 5.26 million or 52,600, and it got a total of 322,000 box office in the week of its release, and then there will be no theaters to schedule it.

This movie is known as another big-character comedy by Wanwan director Zhu Yanping after "Slam Dunk" and "Laughing Jianghu".

When promoting, [Bona] and Director Zhu also put in a lot of effort.

The crew broke the news that Xiao Jingteng, who is known as the god of rain, had rain on the first day he joined the group, and the director was worried, and he had to spend a lot of time hiding from the rain every day.

However, it didn't work, and the audience didn't buy it.

In Zhu Yanping's first two movies, the audience went to Zhou Conclusion, Zhao Benshan, and Xiao Shenyang.

This time, there are no stars who can attract audiences to the theater, and no one will pay for this kind of movie with a bad eye at all.

PropNex Media.

Yu Dong is in a very bad mood now.

He felt that Zhu Yanping had pitted him, except for the heroine, everything else in this movie was decided by the director.

Bona is only responsible for the payment and the promotion of the later release of the film.

As a result, he lost all his money.

This is no longer a matter of losing more or less, but not getting back a single point, and losing as much as you invest.

Even [Bona Films] will be affected by some negative reviews.

Fortunately, what made him a little fortunate was that [Mekong Operation] insisted on inviting Gu Wei to participate in the performance, and did not listen to Lin Chaoxian's search for Peng Yuyan.

As a movie released on the same day, [I heard] and [Otaku] can be said to be difficult brothers.

He also knows that [I heard] has a good reputation, but what is the use of a good reputation, he is the CEO of a film and television company, a capital, a pure businessman, and makes movies to make money, not for any art.

As far as Peng Yuyan's box office appeal is concerned, it is about equal to nothing.

Thinking of this, he picked up his mobile phone and called Gu Wei.

At this time, Gu Wei, who was running publicity for [Monster Hunt] outside, was still surprised when he got the mobile phone from the little assistant, and he didn't know what Yu Dong was looking for him?

After connecting the phone, Yu Dong politely talked to him for a long time and didn't say anything useful.

It just so happened that Gu Wei had something to tell Yu Dong.

"Yu Dong, I'm sorry, because of the shooting plan on my side, the original entry time at the end of September may have to be postponed for a few days, you see."

"Haha~ It's okay, you're so busy now, I can understand it a few days later, I'll tell Director Lin about this later."

Yu Dong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then generously agreed.

"Originally, the schedule was relatively tight, but now it seems that [Monster Hunt] will have to delay some more time here, and it really can't be turned~"

Gu Wei explained.

"Understand, understand, I also heard about Mr. An's [Monster Hunt], and the filming process was very bumpy.

However, with the addition of Mr. Gu, I believe that in the end, there will be a box office result that everyone is satisfied with! ”

"Then I will borrow your auspicious words from Dong!"

July 8th.

The crew of "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain" held a grand premiere ceremony at Sparkle Roll International Cinema in Beijing.

Director Chen Kaige, starring Wang Baoqiang, Guo Fucheng, Zhang Zhen, Lin Zhiling, Fan Wei and others all appeared.

Gu Wei was invited by Bao Qiang to come to the scene.

He has just finished the [Monster Hunt] publicity conference in Shanghai, and two days later, the official premiere of the film will be held in Beijing.

Because he was invited to cheer for the show, Gu Wei wore a more casual dress, a well-fitting white T-shirt, light blue jeans, and a pair of white canvas shoes, the whole person looked very refreshing and full of juvenile feeling.

He didn't come late, didn't delay much on the red carpet, smiled and waved to the screaming fans outside the guardrails on both sides, and strode into the studio.

"Brother Wei, I know that your movie is about to be released, and I have been busy running publicity recently, thank you for coming today!"

Wang Baoqiang spotted Gu Wei who entered the door for the first time, and greeted him with a simple smile.

Two years ago, Gu Wei met Wang Baoqiang when he was filming [Tang Detective 1], and after leaving the crew, when the two met again, he still called Gu Dao Gu Dao.

Gu Wei saw that he was old and senior, and admired his character, so he just asked him to call his name directly.

But Wang Baoqiang didn't do it, and when he met again when he was recording the show, he simply called him "Brother Wei", Gu Wei had no choice, so he went.

"It's going to premiere in two days, and now it's in the capital, of course I'm going to come over and cheer you on.

How is it, is it cool to be the male protagonist for Director Chen Kaige? ”

Wang Baoqiang looked excited.

"It's very good, I learned a lot from Director Chen's filming, and I feel that the whole person has grown a lot after filming!"

"It seems that I have to thank Director Chen."

Wang Baoqiang was a little puzzled.

"Next month, you will join the group to shoot [Tang Detective 2], and then I will use the upgraded version of Wang Baoqiang!"

Gu Wei said with a smile.

After chatting with Wang Baoqiang for a few more words, Gu Wei was led by him to Director Chen Kaige.

Director Chen is wearing a black suit today, and his black and white hair is meticulously groomed.

Standing beside him is his wife, Chen Hong, who once had the title of "the first beauty in the mainland".

She was wearing a red evening dress, with an elegant temperament, although the beauty was late, she could still see the style of the year from between her eyebrows.

"Director, this is my good friend, Gu Wei, who I mentioned to you before, is now the hottest star."

Wang Baoqiang actively introduced to Brother Chen Kai.

"Director Chen, hello, I'm actor Gu Wei, and I like your [Farewell My Concubine] very much."

Gu Wei greeted politely.

"I've heard your name, the young man is very handsome, and it's been very popular in the past year."

Brother Chen Kai looked at Gu Wei's face and stretched out his hand to shake him.

"It's all a false name, not worth mentioning~"

Gu Wei said modestly.

"Well, indeed, if you have time, you still have to study your acting skills more, and I will find you to film when I have the opportunity."

Brother Chen Kai nodded and said.

One sentence couldn't fix Gu Wei, he was just modest, he didn't expect Brother Chen Kai to say this.

He couldn't take it after chatting like this, so he had to slip away.

"Eh~ Then Director Chen, you are busy first, I won't bother."

"Okay."

Brother Chen Kai's face was expressionless, and he didn't speak again after replying a word.

Seeing Gu Wei and Wang Baoqiang leaving, Chen Hong, who had been smiling and silent beside him, spoke.

"Do you have an opinion on Gu Wei?"

"No, why do you say that?"

"He's so popular now, he should make friends, his box office appeal is obvious to everyone, and you don't have to worry about the box office if you look for him to play the male lead in a movie in the future."

Chen Hong said earnestly.

She is Mrs. Chen, and she is Brother Chen Kai's housekeeper, and she worries about him in both life and career.

"Does my Brother Chen Kai's movie still need an actor to carry the box office, so does the audience come to the cinema to see my movie, or to see Gu Wei?"

"Okay, good, you're a big director, you have the final say!"

When Chen Hong heard him say this, he didn't persuade him again.

More than ten years of husband and wife have made her understand Brother Chen Kai unparalleled.

Very talented, but also very arrogant, in the words of today's young people, it is "secondary two".

Born in an artistic family, he has shown extraordinary talents since he was a child, and his growth environment has been smooth sailing, and [Farewell My Concubine] has become one of the three major directors in China.

His life was too smooth, causing him to float in the sky all the time and never landed.

So when he made a big bad movie like [Wuji], everyone scolded him, but he still felt that the audience couldn't understand it, not that he didn't shoot it well.

Some directors are incapable of making bad movies, and they also know that they are making bad movies.

Chen Kaige never felt that he was making a bad movie, in his heart, his works were good and excellent, but others couldn't understand them.

Of course, he does have the ability to shoot good works.

Not to mention the too far away [Farewell My Concubine], [Mei Lanfang] and [Search] in recent years are all rare masterpieces in the film industry.

"Don't mind, Director Chen is not targeting you, he usually talks like this."

After stepping aside, Wang Baoqiang explained for Chen Kaige.

Don't look at Wang Baoqiang's honest appearance, but if you want to say that the person with the highest emotional intelligence in the entertainment industry, there must be him.

"What do I mind, it's the first time we met, and Director Chen didn't say anything."

Gu Wei waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

"Baoqiang, is this your friend?"

Wang Baoqiang was about to say something when a loud voice came from behind him.

He turned his head and saw that Lin Zhiling was wearing a long black slim skirt with neat short hair, standing elegantly behind him.

The appearance is bright and generous, the skin is fair and delicate, the figure is concave and convex, the skirt is split from the root of the thigh on the side, and a fair and slender beautiful leg is exposed, which adds to the temptation.

"Teacher Zhiling, this is my friend Gu Wei, you must have heard of him."

Wang Baoqiang introduced.

"Hello, Miss Lin Zhiling, I'm Gu Wei, I've admired my name for a long time, and you yourself are more beautiful than in the movie!"

Gu Wei stretched out his hand and shook Lin Zhiling and said.

"Hello, Mr. Gu, you really know how to speak, and I have seen many of your works.

Your TV series is very popular, and I am as handsome as in the TV series~"

Hearing Gu Wei's praise, Lin Zhiling first covered his mouth and chuckled, and then also praised Gu Wei.

Lin Zhiling seemed to be very interested in Gu Wei, and stood here and chatted with him for a long time, until the premiere was about to start, she reluctantly said goodbye to Gu Wei and walked to the stage.

"Tsk, there are so many models in Wanwan, it's no wonder that people can get ahead, they don't look good, they still speak so well, and their emotional intelligence is really high!"

Gu Wei looked at Lin Zhiling's back and shook his head slightly.
