"Brother, congratulations on the box office hit!"

Back to the crew, Zhao Yanmai was the first to come up.

"Thanks, I've been here for the last few days, so your shooting mission is much easier, right?" Gu Wei rubbed her head and asked with a smile.

"It's really a lot less, my plays are all with you, of course I don't play if you're not there

But I'm not easy either, and I'm reviewing my homework when I'm not filming." She frowned slightly as she spoke.

"I can't answer a lot of questions, I went to Director Guo, but I didn't understand what he said."

"It's okay, you come to me with the roll later."

"Hmm"

Zhao Yanmai agreed with a smile.

"Because I'm not busy these days, I went to the cinema to watch [Wolf Warrior 2].

The shooting is really good, the scene is super shocking, brother, you are so handsome! Director Wu is also very man!

No wonder it's so hot now.

There are a lot of people in the cinema, and the tickets I bought on the Internet with great difficulty are not very good."

"You went by yourself?"

"I went with Sister Ziyi, and I told you secretly, Sister Ziyi was still crying when I saw the movie at the end."

"Little girl, aren't you crying?"

"Me? Of course not." Zhao Yanmai's eyes rolled slightly, and the words she said were a little lacking in confidence, obviously insincere.

"The two of you go out to watch a movie, be careful to be recognized by fans~"

"We all brought hats and masks, so be careful.

In fact, Sister Ziyi may be recognized by fans, I don't have to be afraid."

"Why don't you use it, [Take My Brother Away] has taken more than 200 million at the box office, Mai Mai, your popularity is not low at all, netizens call you "national girl", there are many fans who like it"

"Hey, hey. How can you say so exaggerated, brother.

Besides, isn't the "national girl" Guan Xiaotong?" Zhao Yanmai was a little embarrassed by what Gu Wei said.

When Gu Wei came back, in addition to Zhao Yanmai, Wu Mengda, Li Guangjie and other cast and crew members congratulated him.

Some of them have watched the movie like Zhao Yanmai, and some have not seen it yet, but there is nothing that everyone doesn't know about the explosion of [Wolf Warrior 2].

Since the movie was released at the end of last month, in less than two weeks, the daimyo of [Wolf Warrior 2] has completely broken the circle.

It's not just a movie now, watching [Wolf Warrior 2] has become a popular social event.

Men, women, children, and all occupational groups, everyone is talking about this film.

Many people who usually don't have the habit of watching movies also walked into the cinema with curiosity amid the praise of others who were "shocked", "enthusiastic", and "ignited".

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Gu Wei came back, and director Guo Fan was also very happy, and congratulated him happily.

"I'm sorry, Director Guo, I took such a long leave and delayed the filming of the crew"

"It's okay, the leave was said before the start of filming, and the crew's shooting plan is arranged.

It doesn't matter." Guo Fan waved his hand, and then looked at Gu Wei with emotion.

"I knew that [Wolf Warrior 2] with you would definitely sell well, but I never expected it to be so popular!

I looked at the data on the Internet today, and the box office should exceed 3 billion at the end of this week, right? ”

"Definitely, the box office will increase again on the weekend, and there should be no problem with 3.2 billion on Sunday." Regarding the box office data of [Wolf Warrior 2], Gu Wei looks at it every day, and he knows what the trend is.

"It's amazing, at this rate, [Wolf Warrior 2] is going to surpass your [Tang Detective 2] and become the first place in the domestic movie box office list!"

As a professional director, Guo Fan knows how difficult it is for a movie to achieve a high box office.

Don't look at the current domestic film market is so hot, movies with a box office of hundreds of millions are not big hits, and only if they break 1 billion can they shake it.

But in fact, 80% of the movies released in China every year have a box office that is difficult to exceed 100 million yuan.

There are a lot of things involved, such as the plot, starring, director, publicity and other factors have an impact on the final box office.

There are some movies with good stories and high ratings, but they can't get high box office, such as "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix".

Some movies have big stars and big directors, and the stories are sparsely filmed, and they will still hit the streets, such as Gu Tianle and Ma Li's [Cats] last month.

So it's really hard for a movie to be a big hit.

In the past two years, Internet capital has entered the entertainment industry in a big way, and these IT habits speak with data, and they try to use various models to explain the reason why a movie is a big hit.

Then find out the various factors that are a big hit at the box office, such as big directors, big productions, traffic stars, and hot topic publicity.

However, so far, there are very few "big-selling" movies made according to the thinking of the Internet.

However, it has only just begun, and these big factories have money, and they have no plans to back down now.

"It's not difficult for [Wolf Warrior 2] to surpass [Tang Detective 2], but I don't know how much the real landing point of the movie can be" Gu Wei was not too excited about Guo Fan's praise, even now the goal in his heart is not easy to say to others.

"[Wolf Warrior 2] is so popular that no matter where the final box office falls, it will create a new record in domestic film history." Guo Fan sighed, and then laughed.

"With this movie in front, isn't our [The Wandering Earth] destined to be popular, just your second cooperation with Wu Jing is worth 100 million publicity expenses!"

Before the filming of the movie, Gu Wei suggested finding Wu Jing to play "Liu Peiqiang", but Guo Fan didn't think there was anything special.

Wu Jing is more suitable for "Liu Peiqiang" in terms of image, that's all, there are many stars in the circle who can play this role.

But now it's different, Gu Wei and Wu Jing [Wolf Warrior 2] after the second cooperation, last time it was the master and apprentice comrades-in-arms who evacuated overseas Chinese to fight the villain mercenaries, and this time it was the father and son who saved the earth together, and this gimmick alone can attract countless audiences into the cinema.

Guo Fan felt that he had done nothing, and a pie fell from the sky and smashed on his head.

I'm still worried about what movie box office, this is stable!

Gu Wei smiled, he knew very well what Guo Fan thought, but this was originally planned by him in advance.

He cooperated with Wu Jing [Wolf Warrior 2], making money to gain fame is one thing, and it is also paving the way for [The Wandering Earth].

On the evening of Gu Wei's return to the group, Guo Fan was very sensible and organized a dinner party for the main creator to celebrate him.

Everyone has been filming for more than a month, and it is very hard to carry dozens of pounds every day, and this incident also makes everyone relax.

The filming of "The Wandering Earth" continues to proceed in an orderly manner, and [Wolf Warrior 2] is still harvesting the box office at a speed that makes everyone jaw-dropping.

After the box office broke 1.1 billion in the first four days, the box office trend in the second week not only did not weaken but strengthened, and the average daily box office was more than 250 million yuan on the first five working days of the second week, with a maximum of 293 million yuan a day.

On the weekend, it got exaggerated box office results of 405 million and 426 million in two days.

As of Monday, August 7, [Wolf Warrior 2] has been released for two weeks and 11 days, and has received a total of 3.246 billion yuan at the box office.

Incredibly, on the working day of the third Monday, [Wolf Warrior 2] still did not see any decline, with a box office of 243 million yuan on the same day.

Seeing that 4 billion or even 4.5 billion is not a problem for [Wolf Warrior 2], a number of media critics in the circle have quietly raised their expectations for the final box office of the movie while praising and praising them.

Now everyone generally believes that [Wolf Warrior 2] is likely to sprint to the box office record of 5 billion yuan, reaching an unprecedented height in the domestic film market.

Huayi Brothers.

"Am I too old to keep up with the times?

How can domestic movies still sell so much? Wang Zhongjun looked at the report about [Wolf Warrior 2] with a look of disbelief.

At this time, three days have passed in the third week, and it seems that [Wolf Warrior 2] is about to reach a box office of 4 billion, and it is still violent, and after the box office soars over the weekend, there is no problem at all to break 4.5 billion.

"I also watched this movie, and it was really good, but it felt similar to last year's [Operation Mekong].

originally thought that even with Gu Wei's joining, 2 billion would be the limit, who would have thought that it would be so popular! Wang Zhonglei also sighed with emotion.

From the establishment of [Huayi Brothers] in 94 to the present, 23 years have had both lows and glories.

At its most glorious time, Huayi was known as the No. 1 private film and television company in the mainland, and it was in the limelight in the circle for a while.

But whether it is him or Wang Zhongjun as the chairman, he never thought that the box office of a movie could be so high.

"I remember that when Xiaogang's [Endless] was released, with a box office of 30 million, we were already happy.

It was 99 years, and that film was an absolute hit back then, and it also played the signboard of our Huayi in one fell swoop."

People like to recall the past when they are older, and Wang Zhongjun is no exception.

"Indeed, until 2008, the total box office in the country was only 4.3 billion, because of the Olympic Games that year, I was more impressed.

Who would have thought that now a movie can have more box office than the previous domestic box office in the whole year! ”

"What is the current market value of our Huayi?" Wang Zhongjun suddenly asked.

"Judging from today's A-share stock price, Huayi's total market value is 22.473 billion."

"If [Wolf Warrior 2] can really break through the box office of 5 billion, wouldn't it be a movie that can top a quarter of Huayi." Although this comparison is not accurate, Wang Zhongjun, who is in amazement, can't care too much.

"Zhonglei, did you say that the comprehensive development we set before was de-cinematized?"

In the past 20 years, Wang Zhongjun has felt that he has been at the top of the entertainment industry, and some decisions can not only determine the trend of the domestic entertainment film and television industry, but at least they have a certain impact on the industry.

Especially since the company's listing in 2009, with the increase in wealth and the growth of the company's scale, he has become more and more confident.

When he set the pan-entertainment strategy and decided to enter the real estate industry to build a movie-themed town, he was also full of confidence.

Wang Zhongjun, who has been making movies for more than 20 years, knows that movies have a long investment cycle, high risks, and difficult to grasp the rate of return.

However, in recent years, domestic high-grossing films have been released frequently, especially the several films led and starred by Gu Wei, 1 billion, 2 billion, 3 billion and even now to 5 billion.

At the same time, Wang Zhongjun couldn't help but feel a little confused, if the company had concentrated on making movies at the beginning, would these big-selling films also have a share of Huayi.

"Anyway, we are also the co-producers of [Wolf Warrior 2], although we don't make much money at the box office, but this title has a great impact on the stock market.

Affected by the recent big sales of movies, our stock price has risen for two consecutive weeks, and the total market value has risen by 800 million! ”

Wang Zhonglei doesn't think as much as his brother thinks, he only cares about the company's stock price, which is real money.

"You're right, I'm thinking too much, lamenting that it's useless, or is it right to study how to do it to our advantage

How did the late stage of [Predecessor 3] go? ”

"It's almost over, it was originally an urban romance film, and the later stage was relatively simple.

The final touches were underway at the end of last month."

Wang Zhongjun nodded.

"What schedule do you think should be arranged?"

"In the second half of the year, there are two popular schedules left for the National Day file and the New Year file, and now there are more popular movies for the National Day file, and the time is short, although our film has Gu Wei to join and is not afraid to fight with them, but the relatively loose New Year file is obviously a better choice"

"Dapeng's [Sewing Machine Band], Cheng Long's [British Showdown], Happy Twist [Iron Fist of Shame], and Wang Jing's [Chasing the Dragon] all have the potential to sell well, and each of them cannot be underestimated"

Wang Zhongjun glanced at the list of movies that have been set for the National Day file and found that it is indeed a blockbuster.

"There is also the debut work of the soldier's boyfriend [Sky Hunting].

I wasn't optimistic about him getting this movie before, but looking at the popularity of [Wolf Warrior 2] now, no one can say whether Li Chen will be the next Wu Jing."

Wang Zhonglei reminded.

"In this case, let's set it in the Lunar New Year file, one after the other with Xiaogang's [Fanghua]."

Wang Zhongjun hesitated after speaking.

"Increase the [predecessor 3] publicity and distribution funds by 50% and give more resources to support.

According to Gu Wei's current popularity, the box office of this film is likely to be above [Fanghua]."

"Understood."

Seeing the current results of [Wolf Warrior 2], even Wang Zhonglei, who has always had doubts about Gu Wei's box office appeal, no longer doubts it.

The [Wolf Warrior] series is Wu Jing's movie, but the first Wu Jing starred alone with a box office of 500 million, and the second one went straight to the first place in film history after adding Gu Wei, and it seems that the final box office score is likely to be ten times that of the first one.

How much Gu Wei blessed the movie and how much role it played, who can say clearly.

Of course, it may be a bit biased to think so, but the facts are here, and [Wolf Warrior 2] is not alone.

"Brother Teng, why are you here again!

Brother Bo, you're here too."

On the set of "The Wandering Earth", after the morning scene was filmed, everyone was resting, and Gu Wei saw Shen Teng, who was wearing a flower shirt and combing his big back, walked into the set.

Also coming in with him was Huang Bo.

[Crazy Alien] directed by Ning Hao was also filmed in the Oriental Film Metropolis, just next door to [The Wandering Earth].

Speaking of which, the copyright of [The Wandering Earth] was actually in Ning Hao's hands, and he had a good relationship with Liu Cixin and helped him take care of the film and television copyright.

It's just that the film and television adaptation of [The Wandering Earth] is too difficult, and Ning Hao feels that he can't do it with his own ability, just at this time, China Film plans to shoot a domestic sci-fi blockbuster, so he bought the copyright from Ning Hao and handed it over to Guo Fan.

At this time, Ning Hao also began to prepare a sci-fi comedy, [Crazy Alien], which was adapted from another sci-fi book [Country Teacher] by Da Liu.

Coincidentally, [Crazy Alien] and [The Wandering Earth] were turned on almost at the same time, and the filming locations were both in the Oriental Film Metropolis.

In the original time and space, [The Wandering Earth] Because of the shortage of funds, Guo Fan often asked Ning Hao next door to borrow props, and careful viewers will find that the astronauts in the two movies are actually wearing exactly the same spacesuits, because they use the same set of clothes.

However, now the crew of [The Wandering Earth] is not short of money, and Guo Fan doesn't have to worry about funds, he just needs to concentrate on filming.

But because the two crews are close to each other, and the filming is Liu Cixin's sci-fi, Guo Fan will also talk to Ning Hao about filming when he is fine, and the relationship between the two crews is relatively good.

[Crazy Alien] starring Huang Bo and Shen Teng.

Huang Bo and Gu Wei have an average relationship, and the two of them met on [Extreme Challenge] before, which can be regarded as general friends.

But Shen Teng is very familiar with Gu Wei, so when he has nothing to do, he always comes to the [Wandering Earth] crew to find Gu Wei to visit the class.

It is a bit too formal to say that it is a class visit, because it is too close, different studios in a film and television base, if there is nothing to do after filming, you can walk two steps to Gu Wei.

"What do you mean I'm here again?

I'm so sad that you say that, I'm sorry for you."

"Uncle Shen Teng, you ran to our crew twice in three days, didn't your director talk about you?" Shen Teng has come a lot of times, plus he doesn't have anything to talk about, even Zhao Yanmai is familiar with him.

"What is the name of uncle, call Brother Teng!

Mai Mai how many times have I stressed to you, I am in the prime of life, and my uncle calls me old

Besides, if you call Gu Wei brother and uncle me, then I'm not inferior to my brother."

"Hehe, okay, Brother Teng~" Zhao Yanmai agreed with a smile.

"You guys came just in time, our crew will put on dinner right away, just in time to bring you along."

"Ah, I'm sorry, we're not here to eat and drink." Shen Teng said this, but there was no embarrassed expression on his face.

"That, what's the dish today, I always think that the crew meal here is better than the [alien] side."

"Brother Teng, don't worry, it's all your favorite food," Zhao Yanmai said with a smile.

Obviously, this is not the first time that Shen Teng has eaten in the [Wandering Earth] crew.

"Haha, it's better to be Mai Mai, I can remember what your brother likes to eat.

I said Bozi, you can also taste the food of other people's crews, it's really better than ours.

Let's talk to Director Ning about it, can we also change the restaurant where the [Alien] crew ordered food to the same as [The Wandering Earth], so that I can eat half a bowl more per meal."

"If you want to be fat, the director should make you lose weight." Huang Bo is famous for his high emotional intelligence, and he can usually speak well, but in front of Shen Teng, he has become the one who has few words.

"There is some truth in what you said, but my appearance is here, even if I am fat, it doesn't matter."

Huang Bo didn't care about him and looked at Gu Wei opposite.

"Congratulations on the box office hit, [Wolf Warrior 2] is too hot now, I heard that you just came back in the past two days, so I will call Shen Teng to come over."

"That's right, brother, your film is invincible, it will soon exceed 4 billion to 5 billion, and all kinds of records in the domestic film market have made you break it all over, it's really good!" Shen Teng answered immediately.

"[Wolf Warrior 2] is Brother Jing's movie, I am just an actor, and I don't have much credit to participate in it with him.

Besides, it's just a good time, just now that our country is strong, and the movie just hit the audience's patriotic point, so we have the current results.

It can only be said that it was a coincidence." No matter how high the results are, Gu Wei has always maintained a humble attitude.

Shen Teng and Huang Bo complimented Gu Wei a few words, and the crew began to put out dinner, and everyone chatted while eating.

"That's right, in the second half of the year, I have a movie that I directed and acted in, and there is a character in it that I think is quite suitable for you.

So I came over today to ask if you are interested? After chatting for a while, Huang Bo finally said the reason why he came to visit the class today.

"Brother Bo, you're going to be a director too, congratulations."

"After acting for so many years, I have some ideas in my heart, and I always feel uncomfortable if I don't shoot it." The so-called "acting and excellent directing", seeing so many first-line stars around him who have succeeded in cross-border crossing, Deng Chao, Wu Jing, Xu Zheng, and Gu Wei in front of him, Huang Bo is naturally not far behind.

"I brought the script here, you can take a look"

Gu Wei took out a piece of paper, wiped his oil-stained hands, and took the script.

On the white cover are written four large characters: "A good show".

Then I opened it directly and began to browse in front of everyone.

Everyone else eats normally and doesn't bother him.

Gu Wei read it quickly, and after a while, he read the synopsis of the story in the script, he didn't want to read it, and he didn't need to read it.

"Brother Bo, your story is very interesting, but I really don't have a schedule, [The Wandering Earth] is over, I still have a TV series and a movie, and the schedule has been scheduled for the first half of next year" Gu Wei closed the script and rejected Huang Bo straightforwardly.

It's okay, I'm prepared, it's normal for you to be so popular now and have no schedule.

Blame me for not looking for you sooner." Huang Bo was a little disappointed, but he still smiled and took the responsibility on himself.

"Although I can't join, it's not that I don't have the opportunity to work together.

Brother Bo, you still don't lack investment in this movie, I can invest money for you."

For this Huang Bo's directorial debut, Gu Wei has an impression, let's not talk about whether it looks good or not, the box office is a big hit, he remembers that it seems to have exceeded 1 billion, and it made a lot of money.

"Really?

In addition to me, the investor of this movie is [Light Media], if you are willing to invest, it would be great" Although Huang Bo is famous as an actor, he is still a novice as a director, and he will definitely not take all the money for filming, after all, as an actor, he knows better than anyone else the risks of making movies.

The light gave a part, but it was still a little short of his expectations, and it would be great if Gu Wei could make up for this part of the investment.

"I'll tell the company when I go back, it just so happens that I have a good relationship with the light, so let's sit down and discuss the investment and production of this film."
