The time has entered August, and [Detective Chinatown 2] has been released for the second week.

Due to the box office explosion in the first week, coupled with the fact that the reputation of the movie has been maintained well, the trend of [Tang Detective 2] in the second week is still strong.

On Monday, due to the relationship between weekdays, the box office fell from more than 300 million, but it still reported 195 million, and remained stable on Tuesday, 187 million.

The box office of nearly 400 million in two days on weekdays shocked everyone in the industry.

From the box office trend of [Tang Detective 2], everyone saw the shadow of [Mermaid] at the beginning of the year.

Some movie box office prediction platforms have raised their predictions for the final box office of [Tang Detective 2], changing the initial 2.5 billion to 3 billion.

Now everyone is optimistic that [Tang Detective 2] will surpass [Monster Hunt] to become the second place in domestic film history, and it is still unknown whether it can catch up with [Mermaid] and then win the box office championship.

At this time, Gu Wei was very confident in his movie.

The original time and space Liu Haoran's version of [Tang Detective 2] was released during the Spring Festival in 2018, and at that time, there were also two blockbuster movies "Monster Hunt 2" and "Operation Red Sea".

Even so, the original version of [Tang Detective 2] still achieved a good result of over 3 billion box office.

[Tang Detective 2] was able to sell well at that time, almost all of which relied on the good foundation laid by the first part of [Detective Chinatown], coupled with Wang Baoqiang's fame, and the schedule advantage of the Spring Festival file.

Now in Gu Wei's version, the male protagonist has been replaced by himself who is more famous than Liu Haoran, and the female protagonist has changed from an unknown actress to Liu Yifei, who has a high national degree, and the second female is also the current female top Naza.

Whether in terms of the plot or the fame of the actors, this version beats Director Chen, and Gu Wei can't think of a reason why he lost.

The only thing that is almost a little worse is that it was released a year and a half in advance, and the schedule is a summer file instead of a Spring Festival file.

But this problem is really not big, to be honest, in 2016, the construction of the domestic film market in hardware has basically reached its peak, and the country is almost everywhere from super first-tier cities to third- and fourth-tier small cities.

The main reason that affects the box office of movies now is no longer that everyone can't find a suitable movie theater, but whether the audience is willing to go into the movie theater to watch the movie.

There is another one, the summer file is not necessarily inferior to the Spring Festival file, because the future [Wolf Warrior 2] with more than 5 billion yuan was born in the summer file of 2017.

And now when [Tang Detective 2] is hot, there is not a single decent competitor around me.

In the third week of Cheng Long's [PUBG] release, the single-day box office has dropped to around 20 million, and [Legend of the Gods] is even worse, on the 4th day of release, the single-day box office was only 25.4 million, and by Tuesday, it almost dropped 20 million, almost from the first day of release, the box office has plummeted.

The market is almost dominated by [Tang Detective 2], and the box office of a single movie has accounted for more than 60% of the total single-day box office in the country for 6 consecutive days, and it seems that it will remain for a long time.

"I'm sorry, Xiaolu, I'm running a roadshow in Jinmen with the team now, and I won't be able to return to the capital until next week at the earliest, and the premiere can't be passed.

I'll make an appointment with you when I go back, and then call Brother Shangchao very Chen He, and let's get together together."

Coming out of an event, Gu Wei received a call from Lu Han.

He was a little surprised at first, but after picking it up, he realized that the movie [Tomb Robbery Notes] that Lu Han participated in on Friday was about to be released, and tomorrow was the premiere of the movie, and Lu Han wanted to invite Gu Wei to come over to cheer.

It's a pity that the whole process of Gu Wei's roadshow, which theater in which city and which day is arranged in advance, has no time at all.

"Fawn has a movie coming out?"

Naza, who was sitting next to her, heard Gu Wei's voice answering the phone and asked curiously.

She just filmed [Chosen Heaven] with Lu Han in the first half of the year, and the two are still relatively familiar.

Gu Wei nodded.

"Big IP [Tomb Robbery Notes], starring Xiaolu and Jing Bairan"

As he spoke, he received another message on his phone.

Gu Wei picked it up and saw that it was sent by Ma Sichun, and he was also invited to participate in the premiere of [Tomb Robbery Notes].

Gu Wei scratched his head.

He didn't know much about this [Tomb Robbery Notes] starring Lu Han, the starring role was Jing Boran or Lu Han just told him on the phone, but he didn't expect Ma Sichun to participate in this clip.

After the shadow of [Left Ear], Gu Wei was too busy with work, and he rarely had the opportunity to meet Ma Sichun again, but he usually sent WeChat messages, liked them in the circle of friends, and still interacted, and the relationship has always been good.

Last week, [Tang Detective 2] was a box office hit, and Ma Sichun also made a congratulatory phone call to him.

Gu Wei didn't reply in a hurry, but checked the information on the Internet about the recently released movies and the [Tomb Robbery Notes] in which Lu Han participated.

Sure enough, Ma Sichun played the heroine "A-Ning" in it, with short hair on the poster, which was much more capable and sassy than the original "Li Bara".

After thinking about it, Gu Wei replied with a polite tone to a refusal WeChat.

"I just watched it, including [Tomb Robbery Notes], there will be several new films released this week, will it have an impact on the box office of our movie in the later stage?"

is familiar with Lu Han, and Nazha still cares about her movies the most.

Gu Wei smiled.

"Don't worry, even Cheng Long and Li Lian's films can't work, not to mention the rest, even if it's Xiaolu's big IP [Tomb Robbery Notes], they should be thankful for the final box office to have our first week's results."

Gu Wei really doesn't care, although he has seen very few movies that will be released in August, he has the impression that none of them are big sellers, and the results of [Tomb Robbery Notes] are not bad, but it would be humiliating to compare with [Tang Detective 2].

Capital.

After Lu Han ended the call with Gu Wei, he shook his head at Zhang Zhao, the filmmaker next to him.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhao patted Lu Han on the shoulder.

"It doesn't matter, I actually expected it, the crew of [Tang Detective 2] has been on the roadshow recently, and there is news breaking out every day, so you can just try it when you call.

Originally, now [Tang Detective 2] is on fire, and I want to use Gu Wei's fame to hype it, but now people can't come, and there is no way. ”

It turned out that Lu Han made a call at the behest of the producer.

They didn't know that Ma Sichun, the heroine of the movie, had privately invited Gu Wei again.

"Mr. Zhang, our movie is not small now, and there is no need to rub Gu Wei's fame"

Jing Bairan, another leading actor in the house, said a little unconvinced.

Because of Ni Ni's relationship, his impression of Gu Wei is not good, but the difference between the status and fame of the two is too big, even if he is dissatisfied with Gu Wei, he only dares to complain a few words in private.

Zhang Zhao frowned when he heard this.

He was the president of Guangguang Media at the beginning, and later had a disagreement with Wang Changtian, separated from Guangguang, and was fooled by Accountant Jia to join LeTV, and is now the CEO of LeTV Media.

[Tomb Robbery Notes] This drama is a film produced by LeTV Media.

Gu Wei's own traffic is large, and the recent explosion of [Tang Detective 2] is even more eye-catching.

Zhang Zhao wanted to invite Gu Wei to come, on the one hand, he wanted to gain some heat, and on the other hand, he also showed his attitude.

Now that the market is big enough, he hopes to cooperate with Gu Wei for a win-win situation, if he can interact with [Tang Detective 2] during the publicity, that point of publicity may be very effective.

But these words can't be said to actors like Jing Bairan.

He planned to go back and make a phone call in person to communicate with Gu Wei.

Everyone is the CEO of a large company in the film and television industry, although [Wei Mingxia] is now fighting with Guangguang and Wanda, but maybe one day it will cooperate with them LeTV.

Again, as the old saying goes, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

In the evening, back at the hotel, Gu Wei took a shower after changing his clothes, came out of the bathroom, turned on the TV, and hummed a song happily while wiping his head with a towel.

Since the premiere of [Tang Detective 2], he has been in a very good mood.

The doorbell rang suddenly.

Gu Wei wondered who would come over so late, these days because the running time was particularly rushed, Nazha didn't come to look for him.

After all, most of the time they arrive at the hotel late, and they have to get up early the next morning, and Naza is also a person who knows what is important, and she will take time to rest in her room every day.

Go to the door and open it.

Wang Baoqiang stood outside the door in the same clothes as during the day, his hair was a little messy and his eyes were red.

You must know that the crew went back to the hotel early today, and Gu Wei finished washing, but it seems that Wang Baoqiang didn't even change his clothes.

Seeing Gu Wei open the door, he barely pulled out a smile.

"Baoqiang?

What's the matter at this late hour? ”

Gu Wei asked suspiciously, and Wang Baoqiang was about to open his mouth.

"Come in and say"

Gu Wei interrupted him and let Wang Baoqiang into the house.

"You sit down first, I'll pour you a glass of water~"

"Director, don't bother"

Wang Baoqiang sat on the sofa in the living room, Gu Wei went to fetch him a glass of warm water and put it in front of him, and then sat opposite him.

"Thank you, Director~"

Wang Baoqiang took the water cup with both hands and took a sip, his originally frowning brows soothed a little.

"Director, I'm sorry to come so late to disturb your rest, I have two things to look for you."

As he spoke, Wang Baoqiang raised his head, with a sad face and bloodshot eyes.

"There's something going on at home at home, and I have to go back tomorrow, so I can't finish the week with the crew.

I'm sorry director, I'm really sorry."

Wang Baoqiang finished speaking apologetically, and lowered his head again.

Gu Wei's brows furrowed when he heard this.

It's not a big deal that Wang Baoqiang can't continue to follow the group, he is a little worried about the other party's current state, and it seems that the worst in his heart is about to happen.

"It's okay, Bao Qiang, from the production to the publicity of our film, you have been conscientiously completing every job, and I have seen all this.

Things at home are not big, if there are any difficulties, if there are any, even if you ask, as long as you can help, I will never refuse.

By the way, you said that you were leaving tomorrow, the ticket was not set, and if you were in a hurry, you could take my private jet"

Wang Baoqiang raised his head after listening to Gu Wei's words, and his face was moved.

"Thank you, director, I've already bought my ticket.

But I do have something else to ask you about, and that's the second thing I'm going to tell you today. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Baoqiang opened his mouth, wanted to say something but didn't say it, looking like he wanted to say something and stopped.

"Baoqiang, we are not outsiders, just say what you have to say"

Gu Wei was relieved to see him in this state.

Wang Baoqiang, who was on the other side, looked embarrassed, and finally gritted his teeth.

"Director, I. I want to borrow some money from you."

After saying this, Wang Baoqiang's originally dark face was slightly red.

Gu Wei suddenly realized that he was borrowing money, so he had to be embarrassed to say it.

In the adult world, borrowing money is a big deal, both for the borrower and the borrower, and if you are not careful, you may lose friends or even relatives.

"How much to borrow?"

Wang Baoqiang also thought that Gu Wei was so happy, and he was still thinking that if Gu Wei asked the reason for borrowing money, he would not explain the truth to the other party.

"3 million is fine."

Gu Wei touched his chin, if he guessed correctly, all of Wang Baoqiang's property and liquidity during this time period were in the hands of Ma Jinlian, and the purpose of his borrowing should be to fight a lawsuit.

He had the impression that the original time and space seemed to be the money lent to him by Chen scumbag.

"Baoqiang, I don't know why you borrowed money, and your net worth is not less than this 3 million.

But since you have opened your mouth, I have no reason not to accept our relationship.

I'm not going to say anything about you now, and I won't ask about it, because I trust you.

In this way, for the sake of insurance, I will give you 5 million, so that no matter what you do, you will have more money on hand. ”

Wang Baoqiang was very moved when he heard Gu Wei's words.

"Director. I. I."

Gu Wei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Needless to say, a manly man doesn't need his mother-in-law's, send your card number, and I'll have someone transfer it to you."

"Hmm!"

Wang Baoqiang nodded.

"Director, I will leave early tomorrow morning, and I won't say goodbye to everyone, you can help me say sorry to the others."

"Don't worry, you just have to be busy with yourself, don't worry here, it's still the same sentence, if you need help, feel free to ask!"
