Chapter 562: Mandate of Heaven
"What old man, if it weren't for you, I could be here?
Running away from home, how old is you, you are still running away from home, that's your own father, where can you hide?
And bring your sister out, how dangerous it is outside! ”
In this scene where Han Ziang taught Liu Qi a lesson in prison, Wu Mengda completed it in one go.
Gu Wei doesn't have any lines in this shot, just get beaten.
"And you!" After saying Liu Qi, Han Ziang turned the spearhead to Han Duoduo again.
However, in the face of his beloved granddaughter, he couldn't bear to reprimand him after all.
"Did you learn to steal?
Steal my card
Your brother will do whatever he tells you to do, stupid you! ”
"Uncle Da, I see that your complexion is much better than a few days ago" After this scene was filmed, the staff was moving things and transferring scenes, and several actors were resting next to them.
"After two days of rest, I feel better.
Hell, if this had been before, this amount of work would have been nothing."
Wu Mengda held a portable oxygen cylinder, inhaling oxygen, while lamenting that the years were unforgiving.
"What do you think is the difference between filming our scene and filming on Hong Kong Island?" Gu Wei was also resting, so he chatted with Wu Mengda for a few words.
"I started filming in my early 20s, and I've been filming for more than 40 years now, watching Hong Kong Island movies go from heyday to decline.
Compared with the mainland, Hong Kong Island is still too small, and movies like this, which often involve hundreds of people, large scenes, large sets, and all kinds of fine props, cannot be made on Hong Kong Island. ”
As he spoke, he picked up the well-made mechanical props he had at hand.
"Back then, I was filming TV series on TVB, dozens of costume dramas, everyone used the same set, and the clothes and props were all kinds of generals.
The same is true for movies, more than a dozen people are a small crew, and sometimes it takes more than ten days for a movie to be completed from start-up to completion. ”
"But at that time, Hong Kong Island also produced a lot of excellent film and television dramas." Zhao Yanmai listened to the two chatting and interjected on the side.
"Haha. Yes, although it was an era of quick success, after all, there were still people who were making movies with their hearts.
However, Hong Kong Island is too small after all, about one-tenth the size of Qin Island, and the market is limited
If we hand over this film to a Hong Kong Island director, tsk."
Wu Mengda shook his head and didn't say anything deep.
However, Gu Wei beside him knows that the shooting style is one thing, and the Hong Kong Island directors and production teams who come to the mainland to film are used to sucking blood from the crew, and I don't know how much of the 400 million investment can really be used for movies in the end.
"But the films made by Xing Ye have always been very good, and [Kung Fu] and [Journey to the West] are very good!" It seems that Zhao Yanmai is a fan of Zhou Xingchi.
"Hahaha
Is he a genius, and he works hard enough, so he will succeed in everything he does! ”
Since the beginning of [Kung Fu], Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda have completely parted ways, and the two have cooperated for more than ten years, bringing a lot of classics to the audience, but in the end, because of differences in filming and conflicts of interest, they ended up being strangers.
However, Wu Mengda has never said anything bad about Zhou Xingchi in front of outsiders.
"Grandpa Wu, how did you and Master Xing meet?"
"To be honest, I was completely unimpressed when I met Zhou Xingchi for the first time.
Because we're all on the same TV station, he does his children's show, and I do Joy Tonight, or I do drama.
When I saw him at the time, I didn't know who he was, maybe it was just everyone saying hello.
He may have known me at that time, because after [Chu Liuxiang], I began to have a little fame, and at that time, Zhou Xingchi had just entered the wireless actor training class."
Wu Mengda resumed normal filming, and Guo Fan dismantled his scenes to minimize his daily filming time to avoid his physical problems again.
Fast forward to late July.
"As of yesterday, [Take My Brother Away] has been in theaters for 15 days, with a box office of 218 million, but the current single-day box office is less than 5 million, and it has been affected by the release of new films such as "The Legend of Wukong" and "Father and Son", and the filming has also decreased a lot, and the final box office is difficult to reach 250 million."
The day of the release of [Wolf Warrior 2] is getting closer and closer, and Gu Wei asked for leave to return to Beijing.
On the way, Yang Dan reported to him the results of the Han family's daughter [Take My Brother Away].
"It's already very good, I didn't think about making money, I didn't expect to have a surprise.
It seems that I should give Senior Sister Han a call and congratulate my debut work on its box office hit.
By the way, was there a movie called [Qinghe Men's High School] released a few days ago? ”
Gu Wei was able to think of this film because the starring role of this movie is Jing Tian.
Some time ago, Gu Wei went to Shanghai to attend a fan meeting, and Da Tiantian specially sent him a message to invite him to participate in the premiere of [Qinghe Men's High School].
It's a pity that Gu Wei has been too busy recently and has no time at all, so he has to go back to the group to film after the work in Shanghai is over.
He has already scheduled a lot of activities in the past two months, and he needs to take frequent leave, so it is impossible to run around for other people's affairs.
Even if Guo Fan didn't say anything, Gu Wei himself couldn't help it.
And Ni Ni invited him to participate in the premiere of [The Legend of Wukong], but he refused on the grounds that he couldn't leave the filming, and Da Tiantian was no exception.
"[Qinghe Men's High School] was released on the same day as [The Legend of Wukong].
However, the box office of this film was particularly poor, and the total box office was less than 20 million yuan after more than a week of release.
The producer estimates that there will be a big loss! ”
Yang Dan paused as he spoke.
"And I've seen some reviews about this movie on the Internet, and the reputation is very bad, and the Douban score is less than 4 points."
Gu Wei touched his chin, not surprised.
Isn't it normal for Da Tiantian's main resistance movie to hit the street.
"From the beginning of this year's summer season to the present, there has not been a single blockbuster movie in the domestic film market.
[Take my brother away] The box office of more than 200 million is already very good.
The best box office performance this month is [The Legend of Wukong], which was released for 8 days and had a box office of 520 million, but now the decline has been revealed, and the single-day box office has dropped to more than 10 million.
There is also a much-anticipated fantasy comedy [Cat Starman], directed by Chen Musheng, starring Gu Tianle and Ma Li, but the box office was less than 40 million in the first week of release, and the word of mouth was also a mess."
"Huh. I didn't expect the market to be so cold in the first month of this year's summer season.
But it doesn't matter, it's just the darkness before dawn.
I believe that the audience has also been looking forward to a movie worth watching"
The schedule of [Wolf Warrior 2] was chosen by Wu Jing, and after Gu Wei knew it, he briefly glanced at the filming list of the summer file, and found that there were no noteworthy films and agreed.
But he didn't expect that this year's summer market would be so cold.
Last year, [Tomb Robbery Notes] sold 1 billion at the box office, and Gu Wei's own [Tang Detective 2] set a box office record for Chinese films.
This year, this environment is as if all the blockbuster films are giving way to the upcoming [Wolf Warrior 2].
Gu Wei knew that this situation was not planned by anyone in advance, and others did not know that the results of the several films that had been expected would be so poor.
Maybe this is the destiny that [Wolf Warrior 2] has, the time, place, and people are favorable, and this movie is destined to go down in the history of Chinese films.
"There is another thing, [I am not the God of Medicine] directed by Wen Muye has been completed, and it is currently in the company's post-production"
"[God of Medicine] has finally finished filming, and I'm looking forward to what kind of work Director Wen Muye will make."
This version does not have Xu Zheng, and Gu Wei is added, although the plot has not changed, but the final effect is definitely different from the original version, and Gu Wei is also looking forward to it.
