There are many female stars under Gu Wei's company, but only Nazha and Zhang Tianai are really the first-line.

For these two ex-girlfriends, Gu Wei has also put a lot of effort into feeding a lot of resources.

Fortunately, both of them are more competitive, to be precise, they have a good foundation and have their own characteristics, Nazha is beautiful and beautiful, relying on a face to beat the world, although her acting skills are crotch-pulling, but she can also be brilliant when she encounters a role that suits her style.

Zhang Tianai [Crown Princess] debuted, with a tough temperament, attackable and acceptable, don't look at Gu Wei's always soft and weak appearance, but on the screen, she is a heroic and sassy royal sister.

is different from Nazha's idol traffic route, and the company positions Zhang Tianai as a movie café.

Since [Crown Princess] was promoted to become popular, Gu Wei arranged a series of movie resources for her.

The heroine of the best-selling comedy "The Richest Man in Tomatoes", the heroic "Ding Baiying" in [Embroidered Spring Knife 2], the "Chicken" in "Passing by Your World", the female doctor of "Wolf Warrior 2" that will be released soon, and the "Red Sea Operation" that she just finished filming.

Zhang Tianai's movie resources, no matter which female star in domestic entertainment sees it, she will be envious.

According to Gu Wei's estimates, after the release of [Operation Red Sea], the total box office of the movie starring Zhang Tianai as the female number one will exceed 10 billion, becoming the first "10 billion actress" in domestic entertainment.

The original time and space will wait for the release of Ma Li's [This Killer is Not Calm] in 2022 before she is one step ahead of Zhou Dongyu and Bai Lily to become the first "10 billion actress" in China, but now this title is obviously taken away by Zhang Tianai first.

According to the film resources, Zhang Tianai is undoubtedly the most praised one of Gu Wei's company.

The summer season was originally one of the best schedules of the year in China, students were on vacation, everyone also had free time, and many movies with certain expectations for the box office chose to be released during this period.

However, this year has just entered July, and the domestic film market seems to be a little depressed.

On July 1, the founding day of the party, which is also the anniversary of the return of Hong Kong Island, a film produced by Bona Film and Television is based on the true deeds of the famous "Dongjiang Column" in the history of Hong Kong Island.

[Transformers 5] and [Rescue Against Time] have collapsed in word-of-mouth, and the follow-up is currently weak, and the circle has great expectations for this war drama film directed by the great director Xu Zhaohua and starring Zhou Xun, Peng Yuyan, Huo Jianhua and other well-known movie stars.

Bona has enjoyed the dividends of the main theme movies in recent years, and [Outwitting Tiger Mountain] and [Operation Mekong] have made Bona earn a lot.

[When is the bright moon] is an anti-Japanese drama, and it stands to reason that it also belongs to the main theme movie, so Yu Dong also has great expectations for this film.

In fact, Bona invited Gu Wei when the film project was established last year, and not long after the filming of [Operation Mekong] was completed, Bona and Gu Wei were in their honeymoon period.

Yu Dong is very sincere, although Xu Zhaohua wants to find a male actor from Hong Kong and Taiwan to be the leading actor, but for the sake of the box office, she also agrees with Yu Dong's idea.

It's a pity that Gu Wei didn't have any impression of this film, and he had no interest in cooperating with Zhou Xun, and the schedule was full at that time, and he was about to shoot [Wolf Warrior 2] with Wu Jing, so he politely rejected Yu Dong.

So this cake fell on the head of Peng Yuyan, who was favored by many Hong Kong and Taiwan directors.

On July 1st, the festival was held on Saturday, and [when is the bright moon] was released nationwide, relying on the publicity of [Bona Film and Television] and the influence of Zhou Xun and Peng Yuyan, it got 19% of the national filming on the same day, but unfortunately the box office was only 19.24 million yuan.

Xu Zhaohua is a big director of Hong Kong Island literary films who has filmed [Sister Peach] and "Golden Age", this "When is the Bright Moon] has invited a number of big stars to join, and even the supporting roles are Guo Tao, Huang Zhizhong, Jiang Wenli, Liang Jiahui These powerful actors, but unfortunately the narrative is chaotic, the rhythm is scattered, and the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie is not high.

On Sunday, July 2, the box office of [When is the Bright Moon] was 14.32 million, and it dropped to 6.74 million on Monday the 3rd.

The box office of this movie is doomed, and the total box office revenue is estimated to be not enough for the salary of stars such as Zhou Xun.

At the beginning of the summer season, a squib was released, and the market was a little sluggish, and the total single-day box office in the country on July 3 was even less than 100 million.

The premiere ceremony of "Take My Brother Away" ended, and on July 6, the movie was officially released nationwide.

Due to the efforts of China Film and the fact that there are really no big-selling movies on the market at present, [Take My Brother Away] is a fantasy campus film directed by a new director and without any stars, and the box office accounted for 21% on the first day of release, with a box office of 24.36 million.

It doesn't seem like much, and it can't be compared with those blockbusters that have premiered hundreds of millions or even two or three hundred million, but they are already the national box office champions of the day.

The total cost of this movie is only 20 million, and it is very easy to return to the cost according to the current box office, and it will make some money more or less.

[The adaptation is well received, the first half of the movie is joyful, the second half is sensational, and at the end, Zhao Yanmai's sentence "You left me behind" is too poignant, touching and warm]

[This film is great, reflecting the current situation of every family, today's children make parents accustomed to being rude, selfish, and grateful that they don't understand, and this film just educates children about this.

My daughter cried after reading it, and she was deeply touched! 】

[I have watched it twice, and I still think that I can watch it, the acting skills of the two leading actors support the whole film, especially Peng Yuchang's changing interpretation before and after is surprising (it is worth the first certification of the potential stocks that have become popular).

Although the pattern is small, the completion of the story is okay, and the tears and laughter can poke many people, especially Zhao Yanmai's last line is really poking (or because the actors are good)! 】

[Not only qualified, but even far beyond expectations, the performance of the young actors is very good, because they are not familiar with it, they are still struggling to watch it, but the first five minutes make people fall in love, Peng Yuchang and Zhao Yanmai's performances are really surprising! 】

【. 】

Although there are no big stars, with a large proportion of films and a good reputation, the box office has gone all the way.

On Friday, the second day of its release, the box office rose steadily, reporting 28.67 million.

In the next two days of the first weekend, the box office rushed all the way to 30 million, and achieved a good result of breaking 100 million at the box office in the first week.

According to the current trend, it is not a problem for the final box office of this movie to exceed 200 million and exceed [Rescue Against Time].

To be honest, [Take My Brother Away] has this result, and Gu Wei is also very surprised.

But if you think about it carefully, it's normal, at the beginning of this year's summer vacation, the domestic film market is really sluggish, and there are almost no films worth watching.

Coupled with the fact that students are on vacation now, the main force of watching movies is younger, and there is naturally a certain market for fantasy campus films like "Take My Brother Away".

"Mai Mai, have you watched the news, the box office results of the movie in the past two days have been good, and the audience has a high evaluation of your acting skills"

On the flight from Beijing to Qingdao, Gu Wei chatted with Zhao Yanmai.

Originally, Zhao Yanmai's parents who joined the group to film were going to send her over, but when they heard that Gu Wei took her with them, they were relieved to hand over their daughter to him.

Zhao Yanmai's parents are both teachers and teach in key middle schools.

They are very open-minded and have always been very supportive of their daughter's acting career.

When Gu Wei first filmed the casting of [Tang Detective 1], it was Zhao Yanmai's parents who took her to audition, and later filmed [Take My Brother Away] Everyone has also met a few times, and Gu Wei gave them a very good impression.

"It's okay, I don't think the acting is very good, the main thing is that the director is good"

On the private jet, the two sat side by side in comfortable seats, Gu Wei was swiping his mobile phone, Zhao Yanmai was reading the script of "The Wandering Earth", and peeked at Gu Wei beside him from time to time.

This was the first time she had stayed so close to Gu Wei for a long time.

Although Zhao Yanmai is only 15 this year, the girl is precocious, and many fans who are crazy about chasing stars are her age.

There is no doubt that Gu Wei is her idol.

"Don't be modest, as far as I know, you'll be out filming in 10 years, and you'll be longer than me."

"Hey, hey. I have been interested in acting for a long time, and my parents are willing to cultivate it, and then I made a lot of scenes by chance," Zhao Yanmai smiled innocently.

"You have a good image and talent, and you obviously eat this bowl of rice.

He has good acting skills at a young age, and it is logical that he will become a big star when he grows up."

When Gu Wei filmed [Tang Detective 1], he used another child star Zhang Zifeng, compared with Zhao Yanmai, she has better acting talent and more spirituality, but unfortunately the difference is a little different.

Zhao Yanmai is a typical beauty embryo, with exquisite facial features and a slender figure, and she will also be a big beauty in the future.

In the entertainment industry, looks are really important to an artist.

If you are not handsome or beautiful enough, you won't be able to perform some dramas, and you will be ridiculed by the audience if you act.

Later, why did so many ugly men and ordinary women in ancient costumes look bad, and they insisted on playing handsome guys and beautiful women, and the audience was not blind, of course they wouldn't buy it.

"Acting since childhood is an advantage and a disadvantage, many child stars can't get rid of the label of child stars, and when they grow up, they can't get out of the role when they were children, and they slowly quit the circle"

"You've thought a lot about it at a young age." Gu Wei turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yanmai in some surprise.

"Then what do you think is the most well-known drama over the years?"

"[Little Farewell]?" Zhao Yanmai is not very sure.

Thinking about all the film and television dramas I made, it seems that [Little Farewell], which was launched last year, is the most popular.

Gu Wei shook his head, the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"I think it's [Balala Little Demon Fairy]."

"Ah, Brother Wei, don't mention Balala, okay." Zhao Yanmai was a little embarrassed.

She was still young when she was filming, and she thought it was very interesting at the time, but as she got older in the past two years, she felt very ashamed of herself when she watched the play again.

"Don't mention it" Gu Wei also deliberately teased her.

"Before I left, I heard my parents say that you will be in high school next year.

I've been in the group for the past two years, and I haven't delayed my studies, right? ”

"It's okay, my grades have always been good, even if I was filming in the crew, I didn't fall behind any homework." Zhao Yanmai looked confident.

"Yo is still an elementary school bully!

After filming [Take My Brother Away] for more than half a year now, it is enough for you to concentrate on studying at school for a while."

"What, after filming the movie last year, I joined the group and filmed a TV series [Mine! Physical education teacher], I haven't been in school for a few days, if it weren't for my good grades, my parents would have dragged me back a long time ago" Zhao Yanmai pouted.

"[My PE teacher]?

Teacher Zhang Jiayi's play, I've heard of this play, Mai Mai, you must be playing a girl again, I feel that you can't run away with the title of "National Girl".

This title was originally Guan Xiaotong's, but Guan Xiaotong has grown up now and has begun to make love films, and it is no longer appropriate to call her "national girl".

Zhao Yanmai and Zhang Zifeng are just right now.

"It's called, anyway, I'll grow up in two years, and I can still play the role of a little girl in these two years." Zhao Yanmai said and secretly glanced at Gu Wei again.

'This profile is so perfect, it deserves to be my idol'

She is also a little tired of playing other people's daughters, and she will be able to shoot the idol drama she wants when she grows up in two years.

It would be even more perfect if I could act with my idol.

Gu Wei and Zhao Yanmai chatted all the way, and the plane landed on Qindao in more than an hour.

Out of the airport, the [Wandering Earth] crew came to pick up the car and waited outside early.

is different from the original, after Gu Wei joined, Guo Fan was regarded as a shotgun changer.

When he first started to prepare for [The Wandering Earth], he couldn't wait to break eight petals for a penny, and in terms of personnel, he also did the work of several people by himself.

There's no way, who makes the crew poor, Guo Fan's heart is very big, and he wants to shoot a really majestic scene, so he is very economical wherever he can, even to the extent of slamming the door, just to be able to spend the money on the blade.

Even so, the crew was always overspending.

However, after Gu Wei joined, he waved his hand and directly increased the shooting cost from 200 million to 400 million.

There are many investors in the original time and space film, including China Film, Wanda, Beijing Culture, Wu Jing's Dengfeng International and many small investors.

Guo Fan relied on his own mouth to pull funds everywhere, and finally scraped together 320 million shooting funds for the movie.

This money is not given all at once, he first takes money from China Film, and then shoots for a while, the money is not enough, Guo Fan lobbied around with some of the filmed films, and continued to shoot when he got a little money.

In the middle, because the crew overspent several times, Wanda also withdrew halfway, but fortunately, Wu Jing later joined and took out 60 million to fill this hole, and brought 50 million other funds into it.

In short, although [The Wandering Earth] is a big-budget sci-fi film with a huge investment, the crew is actually very poor.

But now it's different, with Gu Wei, a rich man who is not bad for money, Guo Fan can also experience the feeling of being rich.

Of course, it's not enough to squander, but it won't be picked and searched on some trivial things.

"Mr. Gu, you're finally here." Oriental Movie Capital, outside the studio of [The Wandering Earth], Guo Fan personally came out to pick up Gu Wei.

"I'm sorry, Director Guo, there are too many things on my side, and there will be a new movie released in a few days, so it is indispensable to ask for leave to go over to do publicity." Gu Wei looked apologetic and said the ugliness in front.

"Understand, we can stagger the time and adjust the shooting sequence."

Guo Fan led Gu Wei into the door and introduced him as he walked.

"Our crew has rented 8 studios in the industrial park, with an area of nearly 100,000 square meters, including carrier vehicles, dungeons, space stations, etc.

We're on stage 20, and we're shooting the dungeon part of the movie."

Gu Wei looked in the direction pointed by Guo Fan, and the whole set was the same as the scene at the beginning of [The Wandering Earth] in his impression, with big trees, bookstores, snack bars, lanterns, etc. all set up in real life.

"Director Guo, your props are so finely made" Several people walked to the innermost part of the studio, Zhao Yanmai looked at the protective clothing placed on the side, and curiously picked up the round helmet and looked back and forth.

"Of course, I've been preparing for this film since I was 15, and for more than 2 years, in addition to building a full set of shooting locations, it was these props that spent the most energy.

The protective clothing in your hand is the "civilian version", we also have the "military version", in addition to the exoskeleton armor, and all kinds of high-tech props that will appear in the future" Guo Fan said these quite proudly.

"I kind of know what you're spending your money on.

The ancients said that "ten years sharpen a sword", and it does make sense.

Director Guo is a person who really does things! ”

Gu Wei knew that [The Wandering Earth] was a good shot, and he knew that Guo Fan was capable, but before coming here, he only trusted Guo Fan because he knew that [The Wandering Earth] succeeded in the end, and he did not hesitate to invest money in him.

Now seeing these sets and props, listening to Guo Fan's introduction, he knows that all these things are impregnated with Guo Fan's hard work, and he is trying his best to make a science fiction movie for the Chinese.

No wonder Wu Jing in the original time and space was moved by him, there is no way to move an actor and director who sold 5 billion at the box office just by lip service, not only acting for free but also begging for 60 million in his own pocket, sincerity and dreams are always nirvana.

Guo Fan is not able to fool, he is really practicing to realize his dreams little by little, and it is no wonder that he can impress many people.

"I have always counted what I promised you, shoot well according to your ideas, and I will fill in the gaps in the shooting in the future!"

Hearing Gu Wei's words, Guo Fan's face smiled.

Although the current funds are completely enough to shoot the effect he wants, how can a director have less money, and if he comes up with any ideas that want to improve, it is normal for the shooting to be overrun.
