On December 23, the second Friday of the release of "The Great Wall", a total of 5 movies were released on that day.

Among them, the most anticipated by the audience is naturally Cheng Long, starring Huang Zitao, Wang Kai, Wang Dalu and other young actors to join [Railway Flying Tiger], as well as Zhang Jiajia's first director, Wang Jiawei's producer, Liang Chaowei, Jin Chengwu, Chen Yixun, baby and many other movie stars co-starring in the romantic comedy "Ferryman".

Both movies are star-studded, and [Railway Flying Tiger] has Cheng Long carrying the banner; [Ferryman] is playing the signboard of Wang Jiawei, in addition to six well-known movie stars such as Liang Chaowei leading the starring, even the supporting roles are familiar star faces, Li Yuchun made a cameo appearance, and Lu Han also showed a friendly appearance, which can be described as a real star.

Not surprisingly, on the day of the 23rd, the 7-day release of "The Great Wall" was hit by [Railway Flying Tiger] and [Ferryman], and the proportion of films in the country plummeted from more than 40% to 19.5%.

[Railway Flying Tiger] accounted for 29% of the first day of filming, ranking second in the number of films scheduled in the country on that day.

The first is the most popular [Ferryman], which accounted for 37.4% of the national film schedule on the first day of release.

On Friday, affected by the release of new films, the national single-day box office ushered in a new high in the recent period.

On the 8th day of the release of "The Great Wall", the single-day box office dropped to 36.74 million, [Railway Flying Tiger] got a box office of 55.76 million on the first day of release, and the most promising [Ferryman] won the national box office championship on the day with a box office score of 81.42 million.

In the following two days of the coming weekend, [Railway Flying Tiger] and [Ferryman] still performed well, with box office results of 162 million yuan and 198 million yuan respectively.

However, after the first three days, the word-of-mouth of the two new movies is slowly fermenting.

[Railway Flying Tiger] Fortunately, Cheng Long's movies usually have a certain guarantee in quality.

The movie is adapted from [Railway Guerrilla], Cheng Long brought his comedy style into this red classic of the past, and redecorated the railway anti-Japanese with humor, making [Railway Flying Tiger] glow with a new vitality.

In terms of plot conception, [Railway Flying Tiger] actually does not have much novelty, but Cheng Long's kung fu humor and a lot of joke baggage make this new work particularly entertaining compared to the old version.

Of course, the movie is indispensable for all kinds of plot bugs and flaws, you can't look at it as a drama, otherwise it will have a bit of an anti-Japanese drama, purely as a comedy movie without brains, it is still more qualified.

It's just that there is one thing that is very questioned by the audience, that is, the Dragon Prince, who has already committed a crime, actually appeared in the movie in a grand manner.

Although there is no shadow of Prince Long in the propaganda and posters, he can be seen from time to time in the movie.

In fact, not only the audience, Gu Wei is also a little unacceptable, he understands Cheng Long's love for his son as a father, but as a person who has played the anti-narcotics police in [Mekong Operation], he is particularly sensitive to this aspect, and he will never have any sympathy for drug addicts.

Compared with [Railway Flying Tiger], the reputation of [Ferryman] collapsed more completely.

Three days after its release, the film, which assembled almost the strongest lineup, completely fell.

The noisy and exaggerated tone of the film and the color of drunken gold fans are permeated with an erosive atmosphere, and the story between the three core characters (Liang Chaowei and Du Juan, Jin Chengwu and Zhang Rongrong, baby and Chen Yixun) is soft and boneless, and the emotional outburst seems very far-fetched, and it is impossible to mention that it resonates with the audience.

Everyone thought that [The Ferryman] would be another classic masterpiece made by Wang Jiawei through Zhang Jiajia's hand, after all, in this movie, Director Wang is not only the producer, but also the producer and screenwriter, but it turned out that Zhang Jiajia wore the coat of Wang Jiawei and made a movie of Wang Jing.

After the release of "Ferryman", Douban scored only 3.9 points, which was worse than the controversial "Great Wall" last week.

And at the beginning, there were also special effects of the Great Wall and Director Zhang's use of color, [Ferryman] was almost a negative evaluation from the audience to the film critics, as a plot-oriented literary and artistic film, it is not easy to make everyone hate it so uniformly.

[After watching movies in the cinema for so many years, I left the scene in less than half an hour for the first time, and I felt sorry for Liang Chaowei and Jin Chengwu, and the evening was not guaranteed. 】

[After watching "The Ferryman", I feel that I should apologize to "The Great Wall", and Zhang Yimou's filming is not so bad]

[Zhang Jiajia's wish is: Guo Xiaosi can't be allowed to dominate the world alone! ] 】

[This piece should be able to represent the current collapsing aesthetics, stewing chicken soup for the soul, petty bourgeoisie, small freshness, street culture and other things that the public loves into a pot of! 】

[Ignorance Leads Me to the Cinema]

【. 】

In the midst of verbal criticism, the king of sunglasses, who has always been deep and mysterious, couldn't sit still.

On December 25th, he finally spoke out, but this time there was a little "retreat" stubbornness and arrogance in his strong literary tone:

"In fact, the world is so big, not to mention the north and the south.

Blindly seeking perfection is tantamount to resting on one's laurels.

In your eyes, it's just a movie, it's a world to me.

If the so-called great success is lacking, there can be progress only if there are shortcomings.

Ferryman, ferryman self - I like it.

Merry Christmas! ”

It can only be said that sometimes, some people just can't recognize themselves and their works.

Needless to say, Wang Jiawei's status in the film and television industry is an absolute director of art films, and he has won countless honors, and has also shot classic films such as "In the Mood for Love", "Chongqing Forest", and "Springtime".

But now in the face of criticism and accusations from the audience, he chooses to believe in himself and does not accept negative comments at all, I am not wrong, it is the world that is wrong.

Interestingly, I don't know if it is to please this big director, or simply to follow the trend, Wang Jiawei's sentence of "I like it" on Weibo attracted almost half of the stars in the entertainment industry to echo in unison: "I like it too!" ”

In addition to Jin Chengwu, Liang Chaowei, baby, Chen Yixun and other starring roles in the film, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, Ou Hao, Li Chen, Li Yifeng, Yang Kun and other big and small stars in the entertainment industry have stepped down to stand for Director Wang Da.

Even Zhou Xingchi, who is also a great director, wrote down a few big words "I like it too" with a stroke of his pen and posted it on Weibo to express his support for Wang Jiawei.

In the office, Gu Wei looked at the excitement on the Internet and sneered.

has been in the industry for so long, Gu Wei has directed two movies, made so many dramas, and has become the top star in the entertainment industry, but his understanding of himself has always been very clear.

Whether it is a director or an actor on the market, the ultimate goal of filming film and television dramas is to show the audience, to put it bluntly, there is no essential difference between the chef who cooks and Tony who cuts hair.

Everyone eats by craftsmanship, makes good films, the audience likes it, makes their own money, and everyone is happy.

Wang Jiawei is doing this, it seems that a chef has prepared a meal and served it to the table, and the diner tasted it and said that it was a piece of stool, and the chef was not convinced, saying that you don't know how to taste food, it is unpalatable for you, but it is delicious for many people.

Because of this chef's status in the chef world, many fellow chefs have praised Chef Wang's dish is indeed delicious, and we all like it very much.

But the key is that you don't sell your dishes to customers, you have to eat them yourself, no matter how bad it is, others won't care, since customers have paid for your things, isn't it normal to rate two sentences?

Moreover, according to the current situation, it is not one or two film critics who deliberately smear this movie, netizens generally think that you are shooting a piece of.

Now that you have become a bitch, don't think about setting up a chastity archway again, and stand upright when beaten, instead of having a hard mouth.

In fact, Wang Jiawei is not alone, many well-known big directors in China have this problem.

The most typical is Director Chen Da, [Wuji] was scolded for a bad movie, and Director Chen was also unconvinced, saying that you viewers will not understand this story within 20 years, it seems that 20 years are coming, and still no one has come out to overturn the case for [Wuji].

It's normal to engage in art, but you can't shoot things that are self-congratulatory, and you want everyone to like it and make money from the audience, how can you have the best of both worlds.

"Boss, about the [ferryman], do you want to make a statement to show your support for Wang Jiawei?

Maybe there will be a chance to work together in the future~"

Gu Wei raised his eyebrows.

"There's no need, I've watched this movie, it's really a bad movie, Wang Jiawei is just a throne, and I don't have the qualifications to make me befriend him against my will!

Besides, with Director Wang's habit of making movies, even if there are really good films to find me in the future, I have to consider whether the shooting cycle is appropriate.

It takes a few years to make a film, and I don't have any spare time to accompany him to polish the shots.

He is a great director of art films, but he is not the only director who can really make good literary films."

Gu Wei thought about it again.

"You explain to the company's various agents, so that your artists don't follow the trend and stinky feet.

If there is no contradiction, you will not step on each other, and it is even more unnecessary to take the initiative to stutter."

"Understood!"

Yang Liwen nodded thoughtfully.

"Boss, the endorsement contract with Bulgari has basically been finalized recently, if there is no problem, the contract has been signed in the past two days, and it will be officially announced on New Year's Day."

Gu Wei was not surprised at all, the cooperation with Bulgari had been discussed before, and at the same time, Coca-Cola and Porsche were released around the world, and Bulgari was only settled here, which was very slow.

In fact, Bulgari is still more urgent to invite Gu Wei to become the new global spokesperson.

LV, a global luxury brand that also belongs to the Moët Hennessy-Louis Vuitton Group, has seen its sales rise year after year since 15 years after reaching a cooperation with Gu Wei, which has made Bulgari of the same group very jealous.

Especially now that the Chinese market accounts for an increasing share of the global luxury market, Gu Wei's status as the top of the domestic entertainment fault line is also more and more valued by major luxury companies.

The pull on the contract for more than a month is mainly due to Bulgari's hope that Gu Wei will take on more offline publicity tasks during the period when he is the spokesperson, Gu Wei is relatively lazy, and he can use my photos and videos, but I am not very happy to always go to events.

As a result, the endorsements that were originally discussed at the end of October were not agreed until the end of December.

"Bulgari's endorsement fee is still 10 million US dollars for 2 years, which is less than some international superstars in Europe and the United States.

At present, the endorsement fee of top international superstars is generally 15 million to 20 million US dollars for two years.

It's like the boss who endorses Coca-Cola, because there is a competitor such as Pepsi, they give you the top offer.

However, your endorsement fee is among the top in domestic entertainment and even in the entire Asian entertainment industry.

The endorsement fee of international big brands in the Japanese and Korean entertainment circles and other top stars in our country is generally 5 million US dollars to 8 million US dollars for two years, and some are even lower.

Of course, most of their Title brand ambassadors and regional spokespersons in Asia, as well as spokespersons in a single category, are truly global ambassadors."

"How is the effect of the roadshow over there?"

After chatting about the endorsement, Gu Wei asked about the movie that the company will release in a few days.

"This year, the crew held a meeting in Shencheng, and it was also screened.

Recently, the results of the national roadshow have been good, and the audience's general response after the screening is relatively good, and the atmosphere on the scene is also good

It's the same as the previous [Great Wall], many viewers who watched the screening said that the boss has too few scenes, and he died at the beginning."

Yang Liwen said that the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Gu Wei was also speechless.

He only made a cameo appearance in friendship, and he also contributed the first "black and white photo" in his acting career, and what do you want him to do.

A county town in the middle of nowhere, the best hotel in the area.

"Sister Yifei~

Uncle and aunt told us to go to dinner."

Naza is wearing a very casual outfit, which looks a little plain compared to her in the usual camera, but her face is still far more beautiful than ordinary people.

She came back from watching the show in Paris and participated in Gu Wei's charity fund with Liu Yifei, and the two followed Gu Wei's parents to the mountainous areas of Yunnan and Guizhou, experiencing a lot of things that they can't usually see, and helping more people in need.

"Got it, I'll go over now~

The location of the elementary school I went to inspect in the morning was so remote that I was about to fall apart when I was in a bumpy car."

Liu Yifei was wearing a light blue pullover, and she didn't wear much makeup, and she was leaning on the sofa in the room, looking tired.

She stared at the phone in her hand, her fingers sliding from time to time, her eyes rolling and not knowing what to think.

"What are you looking at? So seriously."

Naza sat on the arm of the couch and asked curiously.

"A movie that has been very popular on the Internet in the past two days, directed by Zhang Jiajia and written and produced by Wang Jiawei [The Ferryman], has been very controversial on the Internet recently"

Although she hasn't watched the movie yet, Liu Yifei has a very good impression of Wang Jiawei, she likes talented directors, and thinks if she will make a voice to express her support for Director Wang.

"I know about it, my agent said it earlier~"

"Oh? How so? ”

Liu Yifei asked curiously.

"Gu Wei has seen this movie and said that it is a bad movie, and he explained that the artists under our company do not need to lick Wang Jia's position."

Nazha is not interested in literary movies at all, she only likes to be famous and become a big star, and she has no pursuit of art, so she doesn't think there is anything wrong with saying this.

Liu Yifei listened to her words and frowned.

"What "licking" Wang Jiawei, everyone is also expressing their support for art."

"I think there's nothing wrong with what Gu Wei said, other stars on the Internet just want to please the big director, maybe some really like that movie, but Gu Wei said it was a bad movie, I still believe him more."

Listening to her words, Liu Yifei thought about it and changed her mind about supporting Wang Jiawei just now, after all, compared with Director Wang who she didn't know, she still believed in Gu Wei's vision more.

Thinking about it, she put her phone in her pocket and stood up.

"Okay, let's go, don't let your uncle and aunt wait in a hurry"
