Just as Gu Wei expected, the box office of [Transformers 5] in the second week did drop sharply, and the single-day box office dropped from more than 200 million on Sunday of the first week to 80 million, and then went all the way down, and by the time [Reverse Time Rescue] was released on Thursday, the single-day box office was less than 50 million.

And word-of-mouth has also hit a new low for the Transformers series.

It seems that except for special effects, this Hollywood blockbuster with a wide range of viewing bases in China is useless.

When the first film landed in China that year, the audience was excited to see the Autobots in the childhood cartoon become real images in the movie, shouting that Hollywood special effects are awesome.

Now the fifth part, after so many years of baptism of various special effects blockbusters, domestic audiences have become numb to this level of special effects, but Transformers still only have special effects, and the storyline is completely a piece of.

Michael Bay's nickname is Exploding Bey, but only exploding is not a good movie.

[From junior high school to shooting, I worked, and a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron exploded for ten years! ] 】

[The kind of panic that can't see it and wants to do something else and can't do it, sleeps and is shocked, and when you leave, you feel like a waste of tickets, you know this kind of mood that has been tangled for more than two hours? ] 】

[The mentally retarded plot of friend and foe, disgusting and embarrassing gags, selling copies to sacrifice the legend of Merlin to save oneself, and as a result, the story exudes a more nondescript stench! ] 】

[The first time I watched action sci-fi and fell asleep many times, a lot of waste plots, and some character lines are unclear, so, blackening and whitewashing rely on a sentence, and morale is also boosted by mouth cannons, the picture size is constantly changing, and I don't feel visually shocked, but I think it's even stranger, and I think it's an unfinished rendering......]

【. 】

The viewing level of domestic audiences is rising, but the level of [Transformers] is declining, although Mike Bay (again) announced that this is his "last [Transformers]", but everyone has already watched his "last two" [Transformers], and it is not impossible to watch his last three, the last four and the last fifteen.

It is estimated that the later [Transformers] will land in China again, and if this level is maintained, the domestic audience will definitely not buy it.

The influence of Hollywood blockbusters in the domestic market is weakening year by year, and now [Change 5] has completely smashed the reputation of this series of movies.

However, although [Change 5] is rotten, the just-released [Rescue Against Time] is not much better.

Although Da Mimi is very popular, she followed Gu Wei to shoot a [Embroidered Spring Knife 2] with a box office of over 1 billion, but it turned out that she couldn't afford the box office on her own.

On the first day of its release, the single-day box office was less than 20 million.

The publicity and distribution of [Yaoying Release] is really not good, with the backing of [Sparkle Roll Cinemas], Yang Mi is so popular now, Huo Jianhua's popularity is not low, this film is still produced by Cheng Long, and as a result, the proportion of cinema films nationwide on the first day of the film's release is only 10%.

This has to be replaced by China Film, Light, and Wanda, no matter which one can push the film to more than 20%.

This is also the reason why Gu Wei never brings "Sparkle Roll Department" to pull allies in films, the theater resources are average, and the ability to publicize and distribute the crotch is all supported by Cheng Long's golden signboard.

[Rescue Against Time] was released for 4 days in the first week, with a box office of 120 million, which looks pretty good, but compared with the investment cost, this film is a flutter.

The investment cost of science fiction blockbusters is more than 100 million, and according to the current box office trend, the final box office of the movie is more than 200 million.

And the reputation of [Rescue Against Time] is quite bad.

Whether it is the plot, the acting skills of the actors, or even the most important special effects of science fiction films, netizens have complained about it.

["Borrowing" from at least three well-known Western movies, just bring out such a thing, screenwriter and director, what about your IQ? ] It is recommended that Mr. Yang Mi return to Nortel to take a micro-expression class, but it's a pity for your beautiful eyes! 】

[I suggest that Mr. Huo Jianhua give up the road of acting, after so many years, your voice table can still be amateur so far, let me say something, I hope Mr. Jin Shijie will not bend his waist for five buckets of rice and keep the bottom line of your play. 】

[There are too many logical loopholes to justify themselves, there are no effective details to support, the extension and turning of the story can't be thought about, the actors' acting skills are too poor, superficial and exaggerated, and there are no bright spots! ] 】

[Yang Mijia Huo Jianhua is the only promotional point of this movie, and it is also the beginning of the disaster of this movie.

Stiff body movements, exaggerated lines, contrived acting skills, and the male protagonist who has been reduced to a background wall all show his boring! 】

【. 】

There are bad reviews on the Internet, and Douban only has a score of 4.8.

Affected by bad reviews, the box office of [Rescue Against Time] dropped to 17 million on the first day of the second week, and it was difficult to move towards a box office of 200 million.

"Is this movie so bad? What do these netizens think, why is the firepower concentrated on me alone? ”

Yang Mi, who has already gone to other places to promote the movie, obviously knows the current reputation of the movie, and she is not good at complaining to the people around her in the team, so she called and complained to Gu Wei.

"The movie is okay, the main sister, aren't you popular now, everyone is looking at your face-improving movie theater, and of course you have to vent your dissatisfaction in the end.

This is actually very fair, the movie is a good hit, and Sister Mi Ling's income is the largest, but now the effect does not meet the audience's expectations, and everyone is pointing the finger at you"

"But I'm just an actor, how can I decide how the movie is made, the director is the one who has the final say." The reason is clear, but being scolded is always an unpleasant thing.

"So we should be more cautious in the selection of films in the future.

But it doesn't matter, Sister Mi, you are very popular, this film is not good for filming, just work hard next time"

Gu Wei comforted Yang Mi and hung up the phone.

In fact, whether the movie's reputation is good or not is secondary, mainly because [Rescue Against Time] lost money, which is very fatal for an actor who focuses on traffic.

A few years ago, Yang Mi's [Small Times] series was scolded even worse, but she still kept making appointments, because [Small Times] made money.

Capital recognizes her as a top actress and feels that she has a certain box office appeal.

The later filming of "I Am a Witness" and "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" are all works that make money and sell well, coupled with the explosion of "Three Lives and Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", Yang Mi's film appointments continue, as if the existence of 85 flowers is second to none.

But to put it mildly, [Small Times] everyone entered the movie theater for Guo Xiaosi's original work, [I am a witness] Lu Han, who was popular at that time, attracted fans to enter the venue, and the highest-grossing [Embroidered Spring Knife 2] was Gu Wei's main resistance, and Yang Mi had never monoclonally resisted any movies.

The current [Rescue Against Time] was originally a good opportunity, Yang Mi is the absolute female number one, and the male number one Huo Jianhua is a villain, this can be said to be a big heroine movie, which is completely Yang Mi's one-man show.

If this movie is a big hit, then Yang Mi can really prove his box office appeal in the film field, replace Bai Lily's position in the film industry, and even receive the resources left behind after her accident.

It's a pity that there is no if in this world, Yang Mi's vision for selecting films is a little worse, her acting skills can't be compared with Bai Lily, acting in TV series is good, and I always feel that something is worse when I act in movies.

One step to heaven, one step to the abyss, the crotch pull of [Rescue Against Time] completely leaked Yang Mi's lack of appeal in the movie, and not only did the appeal fail, but also had a certain "driving effect".

What is the "eviction effect", that is, an actor makes bad movies all year round, even if he occasionally makes a good quality film, the audience will subconsciously feel that it is a bad movie, and the final result is reflected in the fact that the movie is obviously a big hit in all aspects, but the final box office results do not meet expectations.

There are big-name stars in the entertainment industry who have a "customer driving effect", and the more typical one is the Huang sect leader.

The little famous brother has been producing bad movies frequently over the years, and his image has become more and more greasy after marriage, and the audience's popularity has dropped sharply, whenever he has a new film released, the audience's first reaction is "bad movie"!

The "Fire Hero" starring in 2019 was originally the time when the main theme film was on fire, and the movie was also shot well, and the word-of-mouth evaluation was very good.

is because of the relationship between the little famous brother starring, although he also made money, but the box office still did not reach the expected height, if it was replaced by Zhang Hanyu, it was not impossible to compare the box office with [Chinese Captain].

After hanging up the phone with Yang Mi, Gu Wei set off from the company and came to a Wanda Cinema in the Second Ring Road, where the premiere of "Take My Brother Away" was held today.

Even with the blessing of Gu Wei's fame, the popularity of this small-budget campus fantasy movie is still not high, and not many people pay attention to it on the Internet.

However, due to the relationship between [Wei Mingxia] and [China Film Group], there are a lot of media who came to today's premiere.

After a period of nationwide screening, this film has also achieved a good reputation in a small area, and now let's see what kind of result it will be after its official release.

In addition to the main creators of the [Hurry My Brother Take Away] crew, the artists in Gu Wei's company in the capital all came to the scene, after all, it was their own company's work, and everyone came to cheer for nothing.

"When did you come back?" At the premiere scene, Zhang Tianai, who had not been seen for a long time, was wearing a lilac long dress and a string of pearl necklaces on her chest, with a noble and elegant temperament.

"I only landed in Beijing last night" Zhang Tianai has been in the [Red Sea Operation] since the beginning of the year, and most of the time from training to on-site shooting has been abroad.

At the celebration banquet of [Operation Mekong] last year, Gu Wei refused Yu Dong's invitation to play "Operation Red Sea", but pushed Zhang Tianai into it, replacing Hai Qing and playing the role of the female reporter inside.

It is a bit inappropriate to say that it is replaced, it should be said that [Operation Red Sea] has just started casting, because of Gu Wei's face, Yu Dong and director Lin Chaoxian directly set the role of Zhang Tianai, and there is nothing to do with Haiqing at all.

"The crew is finished over there?"

"It's just been finished in the past few days, and I'm just in time to come back to run the propaganda of [Wolf Warrior 2]!" I haven't seen each other for half a year, and Zhang Tianai is very happy to see Gu Wei.

"It's hard work" Gu Wei knew that the filming of [Operation Red Sea] was very difficult, which was made very clear when Bona invited him.

Lin Chaoxian asked the actors to undergo about 2 months of militarized training before filming.

The whole movie was shot in real life, from the steep mountains to the barren desert, from the bustling city streets to the lonely old alleys of the ancient city, and traveled to nearly ten areas, and the conditions were not ordinary hardships.

"It's nothing, actors, it's hard to be able to star in a good work.

If you can play the heroine of a big production with hard work, then there is a female star in the entertainment industry who is willing to endure this hardship" Zhang Tian saw it very clearly, she can play the heroine of one big production movie after another, not because of how famous she is, or because the relationship behind it is hard enough, to put it bluntly, it is all supported by Gu Wei.

She is a star who climbed up from the bottom of the entertainment industry, and she was first born as a graphic model, and she understands the hard-won opportunities better than those female stars who are now on fire.

So she took the opportunity that Gu Wei gave her seriously, although her talent was average, she had done her best to shoot every drama.

"I'm thinner, but I'm more energetic than before!" Gu Wei looked Zhang Tianai up and down.

"Really?

Then it seems that I acted in the right movie, just to lose weight.

It's just that I'm running around all this time, and the conditions on the African side are so bad that I feel like people are tanned."

Zhang Tianai's eyes were a little wandering, and he seemed to think of the scene during the filming of the movie again.

What she said to Gu Wei was light and light, but [Operation Red Sea] was definitely the most bitter drama she filmed.

"Long time no see, sit down with me after the premiere in a while?" Zhang Tianai's eyes were fixed, and he smiled and sent an invitation to Gu Wei.

After suffering for such a long time, it is time to treat yourself to finally return to the capital.

Gu Wei did not hesitate.

"No problem, I'm going to join the group to film in two days, otherwise I'll have to meet again during the [Wolf Warrior 2] roadshow"

"Is it the sci-fi blockbuster that was set last year?" The company cooperated with China Film to shoot "The Wandering Earth", and Zhang Tianai also heard about it.

The big production with a cost of 400 million yuan is still Gu Wei playing the male lead, she also specifically inquired about who the heroine chosen, and heard that the character of the script is the younger sister of the male lead, and asked for a little girl in her teens, so she gave up her plan.

"Yes, this drama has been in preparation for several years, and it has encountered a lot of ups and downs, but it is finally on the right track."

"In the past, everyone always thought that Chinese could not make science fiction movies, but I believe that if you want to do it, you will succeed."

That's it since I met you, as long as you want to do it, you can't do it."

Zhang Tianai doesn't know Guo Fan, and she doesn't have hope for domestic sci-fi films, but she believes in Gu Wei.

Since the two met, along the way, Gu Wei's successive successes have made her Zhang Tianai have blind trust in him.

She felt that as long as Gu Wei wanted to, there was nothing that could not be done.

There were no big surprises at the premiere, Gu Wei, as the titular producer of the movie, played the role of Cheng Long at the premiere of [Rescue Against Time] a few days ago.

At the ceremony, he took Peng Yuchang, Zhao Jinmai and Zhou Qi to play interactive games and answer questions from reporters and some audiences.

It wasn't until the end of the film screening that the premiere came to a successful conclusion.

"Mai Mai, you prepare, come with me to Feiqin Island in two days"

"Oh, okay, Brother Wei"

The audience and the media left the venue one after another, Gu Wei reminded Zhao Yanmai, and then turned around to communicate with the staff of China Film about the schedule after the film was released.

"Mai Mai, I envy you so much, I will be able to cooperate with the boss immediately" Zhou Qi secretly glanced at Gu Wei and looked at Zhao Yanmai with envy.

"I didn't expect that the next drama I took over would actually be able to work with Brother Wei, and I was a little inexplicable" Zhao Yanmai scratched her head and said a little naively.

The preparation time for [The Wandering Earth] was very early, and before Gu Wei joined, Guo Fan looked for Zhao Yanmai, to be precise, her parents.

At that time, the crew of [The Wandering Earth] was still very poor, and Guo Fan invested the only funds he had into making various future scenes and props.

I don't know how Director Guo fooled, and with only 50,000 yuan of salary, he moved Zhao Yanmai's parents to agree to her starring in this movie.

Now that Gu Wei has joined, paying money and people, Zhao Yanmai suddenly got the opportunity to cooperate directly with Gu Wei, although they are not a couple, but in terms of plot, they are the heroes and heroines.

This is an opportunity that many first-line female stars in the circle envy.

"Mai Mai is a fool and a fool?" Peng Yuchang next to him interjected with a smile.

"You're stupid." Zhao Yanmai's dissatisfied rebuttal.

"By the way, Mai Mai, you're going to be in the third year of junior high school after the summer vacation, can you keep up with filming and studying?

There is still a year to go."

"I can study in the crew, although I have been filming, I haven't fallen behind in my studies.

And Director Guo said, if there is anything you can't ask, he is a graduate graduate, and it is trivial to tutor me, a junior high school student."
