Chapter 400: Cheng Long, Li Lianjie and Gu Wei

At night, in Gu Wei's room.

"Brother Baoqiang, is there something wrong?"

After a relatively gentle exercise, Nazha lay in Gu Wei's arms and suddenly asked.

"Why do you ask?"

"When he came over in the afternoon, he didn't seem to be in a good state, but we didn't have a good relationship with each other."

Gu Wei didn't expect that even a person like Nazha, who is usually relatively big, could find out that Wang Baoqiang was inappropriate.

"When I came back, I talked to him a few words, maybe he was encountering some difficulties, but he didn't elaborate."

Gu Wei hugged Naza's arm tightly.

"Don't worry too much, there is no hurdle in this world that cannot be overcome.

And I told Bao Qiang that if there is anything you can open your mouth with me, I will help him"

"Hmm~

I hope Brother Baoqiang is nothing too big, and he is quite good."

Naza hugged Gu Wei's arm stretched out from under her neck, her smooth beautiful back pressed tightly against his chest, and closed her eyes after speaking

The next day, the main creators of [Tang Detective 2], who had breakfast at the hotel, set off and started their 24-city roadshow.

Everyone seems to be in good spirits, even Wang Baoqiang has adjusted his state because of his chat with Gu Wei last night, and it looks no different from usual.

The publicity team first went to the super first-tier cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and each city ran several large theaters to meet with many fans who rushed to promote the upcoming movie.

And everywhere you go, in addition to the film press conference, there will also be screenings, so that the fans who come will have a sneak peek, and the word-of-mouth of the movie will spread to the greatest extent.

Now when domestic films are publicized and distributed before their release, it has always been a big point of disagreement whether to do screenings.

The scale of publicity before the release of some movies is very large, and all kinds of online and offline news releases are overwhelming, but they just don't hold screenings, and before the day of release, I don't think any audience can see the movie.

This part of the movie is most likely because he knows that he is not doing well, and he is afraid that his bad reputation will be publicized after the screening, so he hides it, hoping to use the publicity to deceive the audience as much as possible.

At the same time, a few days before the movie is released, there is a high probability that there will be a control review, and it is all by deception to make money, and when the audience base of the movie reaches a certain level, word of mouth spreads, and the box office will plummet.

So such a movie basically relies on the box office of the first week, which is no different from the box office trend of fan movies.

Of course, most of the crews who are confident in the quality of their movies will screen them a long time in advance to spread word of mouth to the greatest extent, so that more people can know their movies.

Gu Wei is very confident in [Tang Detective 2], so according to their publicity plan, the more than ten days of roadshow, all the way to the promotion.

Starting from July 1st, the summer file of the domestic film market has slowly kicked off.

In the first week, Tang Yan and Zhong Hanliang's [Bounty Hunter] hit the streets.

On July 8th, which is also the second Friday of this month, the movie [Cold War 2] premiered when Kwok Fucheng, Liang Jiahui, Peng Yuyan, Zhou Yunfa and other Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, male gods gathered.

The first part of this movie was released in 2012, and it achieved a good score of 252 million at that time, and the audience's evaluation was also very good, which belonged to a double harvest at the box office.

Now that the second part is released, the audience is very much looking forward to it.

The movie got a good result of 95.76 million box office on the first day of release, and then the box office exceeded 100 million on Saturday, and dropped to 95.81 million on Sunday, with a total of 298 million box office in the first three days.

Although [Cold War 2] did not become a big hit, it did heat up this year's summer film market and laid a good foundation for the next films.

In the second week, the single-day box office of [Cold War 2] gradually decreased, with a total of 247 million box office in 7 days, and a total of 545 million box office in two weeks after its release.

However, after the end of the second week, the single-day box office of [Cold War 2] has dropped to more than 10 million, and the final box office of trending movies is almost 600 million.

In the mountain city, [Tang Detective 2] and his party were sitting in the car and rushing to Wanda Cinema, the largest in the city.

"Mr. Wang, I'm sorry, I've been running roadshows recently, and I really don't have time.

Okay, when I return to the capital, Mr. Wang will invite me to make an appointment, and I just have some film matters to meet with Director Tian Yusheng."

Gu Wei hung up the phone, and the smile on his face quickly converged.

Liu Yifei, who was sitting opposite, looked curious.

"Is anyone looking for you to eat?"

Gu Wei turned his head to look at her and said with a smile:

"Wang Zhongjun, the boss of Huayi Brothers, invited me to attend the premiere of the film two days later."

"Wang Zhongjun invited you?

I remember you didn't always deal with them? ”

Liu Yifei asked curiously.

"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Everyone is mixed in a circle, although they are making movies, but to put it bluntly, they are all a group of businessmen.

Huayi lowered his profile and asked me to collaborate on a movie before, and I agreed to them when I thought it was profitable, so now we are partners to a certain extent. ”

"It's still amazing, I offended Huayi in the early years, and they banned me in the mainland.

You also had conflicts with them before, but the other party can take the initiative to bow their heads and ask you to cooperate."

Liu Yifei held his chin with both hands and looked at Gu Wei with some envy.

"The times are different, Huayi can no longer cover the sky in domestic entertainment, and they have to cooperate with others if they want to earn more benefits.

Besides, I'm not just a star, in the eyes of the CEOs of these film and television companies, the boss of [Wei Mingxia] company is my real identity.

If you can get greater benefits by cooperating with me, of course they are willing to bow their "noble" heads. ”

Gu Wei explained with a smile.

"What's the name of Huayi's movie?"

Liu Yifei nodded slowly after listening to Gu Wei's words, and then asked.

"I saw the news on the Internet two days ago, called [Lu Yao Zhi Ma Li].

Director Wen Zhang, starring Bao Beier and Song Jia. ”

"Wen Zhang, I didn't expect him to not act, but now he is a director"

As a popular mainland student, Liu Yifei, the big name of Wenzhang, has also heard of it.

"By the way, there's an acquaintance of yours in the movie."

"Who?"

"The second male is Zhu Yawen, aren't you classmates?"

Liu Yifei grinned.

"Yes, Yawen and we have a very good relationship, when I was in school, I always went out to film, and I couldn't keep up with my homework, so he helped.

Two years before he got married, I went to the wedding."

After a while, the car drove to the underground garage of Wanda Mall.

The group took the elevator directly to the topmost studio city.

Outside the theater, fans who got the news in advance surrounded the entrance of Wanda Cinema.

However, the theater has set aside safe passages in advance, and there are security guards on both sides to ensure the normal holding of today's event.

As soon as Gu Wei and his party appeared, the entire Wanda Mall could hear a tsunami-like scream from the top floor.

"Ahh Gu Wei, I love you! ”

"Brother is so handsome!!"

"Liu Yifei, you are so beautiful~"

"Naza, you are my goddess!"

“.”

Gu Wei greeted the fans on both sides with a smile, and entered the theater under the escort of security personnel.

"Whew"

After entering the theater, Liu Yifei breathed a long sigh of relief and patted his chest.

"There are so many fans everywhere these days, I'm really afraid that some of them will rush up regardless of it."

"Wanda's security is still worth trusting, and there are our own people in the circle.

Fans say a lot, Sister Yifei, you are famous."

Liu Yifei glanced at Gu Wei when he heard this.

"Forget it, there are many little girls outside, and more than half of your fans are yours!"

While Gu Wei and the others were working hard to promote the movie, the other two blockbuster movies released at the end of this month were also in full swing.

One is [Jedi Escape] released on the 21st, this movie is directed by Finnish director Renny Haring, who once filmed [Die Hard 2], and starring Cheng Long and Fan Bingbing.

The producer of the film is Cheng Long's [Sparkle Roll Film and Television] and Fan Bingbing's [Tangde Film and Television] as a shareholder, and the producer is also Cheng Long, which is an authentic Cheng Long-style kung fu comedy.

The other is the fantasy blockbuster "Legend of the Gods" produced by [China Star Movie] and released on the 29th at the end of the month.

The film is adapted from the classical Chinese myth [Romance of the Gods], which tells the story of Jiang Ziya leading a group of capable people to assist King Wu in the late Shang Dynasty.

The director is Hong Kong Island director Xu Press, and the exposed starring lineup is very strong, Li Lianjie, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, baby, Gu Tianyi, Liang Jiahui, Xiang Zuo, Xu Qing, etc., can be described as starry.

The promoter claims that the film has an investment of 500 million, which is a domestic super production of fantasy mythological films.

These two movies, plus Gu Wei's [Tang Detective 2] released on the 28th, can be said to be the three most anticipated movies by the audience in the entire summer file.

Needless to say, Cheng Long and Li Lian are real international superstars.

Gu Wei is the hottest star of the new generation of domestic entertainment, and he surpasses the two previous bigwigs in the box office performance of domestic movies.

[Tang Detective 2] and [Legend of the Gods] are only one day apart, and [Jedi Escape] is only a week earlier than the other two, so the competition between the three movies is obvious.

As the release dates of the three movies are getting closer and closer, driven by the publicity of the three, the movie-watching market in the entire summer file is becoming more and more hot.

Netizens are extremely looking forward to the collision between the three.

Younger netizens believe that with Gu Wei's exaggerated box office results in domestic entertainment in recent years, as well as his dominant box office appeal, it is no problem to compare with or even surpass Cheng Long and Li Lian, two old-timers.

[Tang Detective 2] should achieve the final victory in this box office battle.

Slightly older netizens don't think so, they feel that Cheng Long and Li Lianjie are real international superstars, and their status and box office appeal are beyond doubt.

Although Gu Wei has been very popular in the past two years, he is still a rising star after all.

This time, [Legend of the Gods] and [Jedi Escape] are also big-budget movies, and who loses and who wins in the end is still between the two.

[The box office results of the domestic movies starring Gu Wei in the past two years are far higher than those of Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, and the box office of "Tang Detective 1" has exceeded 1 billion, no matter how you watch "Tang Detective 2", you can have the last laugh. 】

[Upstairs, I probably don't know the status of Cheng Long and Li Lian in the world, both of them are figures standing at the top of the domestic entertainment pyramid, how can Gu Wei compare with a junior? ] 】

[You can't look at it that way, although they used to be very brilliant, but the results of filming movies in recent years are indeed not as good as Gu Wei! ] 】

[Support my brother, my brother is the best, Gu Wei is the most handsome!!] 】

[To tell the truth, Cheng Long has been okay in the past two years, from "Zodiac" to "Heavenly General", the box office results are good, Li Lianjie seems to have never made any blockbuster movies since returning to China, right? 】

[Hehe~ There are still people who doubt the popularity and appeal of the "Kung Fu Emperor"? 】

[The heroes don't mention the courage of the year, and the current results are not good, but looking at the cast that promotes "The Legend of the Gods" is too explosive, in addition to Li Lianjie, there are so many top stars in domestic entertainment starring together, a mythical blockbuster with a big investment of 500 million, I am really looking forward to it]

[What Cheng Long and Li Lian are not as good as Gu Wei, my brother's films are always the best-looking! ] 】
