The matter in the capital was over, and Gu Wei returned to the Oriental Film Capital to continue the filming of [The Wandering Earth].

It was fast to late August.

In the fourth week of its release, the total box office officially exceeded 5 billion, and it ran all the way to 5.5 billion.

The summer season is about to come to an end, and several new films have been released in the film market.

Among them, the highest proportion of films is 3 movies such as "Kill the Wolf, Greedy Wolf", "Breaking the Game", and "100,000 Bad Jokes 2".

"Breaking the Game" is a police film cooperated by Guo Tianwang and Wang Qianyuan, which is a remake of a Korean movie "Coming to an End".

To be honest, the quality is good, the storyline is complete, and the actors' acting skills are online, but the box office is not satisfactory.

Guo Fucheng and Wang Qianyuan are not stars with box office appeal, and the lack of publicity and distribution of the film led to only 43.96 million box office results in the first 4 days of release, with an average of only about 10 million per day.

[100,000 Bad Jokes 2] can be better, 55.52 million in the first 3 days of the first week, because it is an animated film, the cost is relatively low, so although the box office is not very high, it can still be profitable.

The only one with a good score in the new film is [Kill the Wolf, Greedy Wolf], with a box office of 220 million in the first week, second only to [Wolf Warrior 2] in the fourth week of release, becoming the second place in the single-week box office list.

The director of "Kill the Wolf, Greedy Wolf" is Ye Weixin, and the "Ip Man" series of movies that have become popular in recent years are his works.

This Ye Dao has a good relationship with Donnie Yen, and it can be said that Donnie Yen is a benefactor-like existence.

As early as 05 years, Ye Weixin filmed the earliest [Slaying the Wolf], and he was not very famous at that time, and Donnie Yen was not very famous as the starring role.

Wu Jing played a villain boss in it, and contributed a wonderful fight scene with Donnie Yen.

However, as a villain, he was unilaterally beaten by Donnie Yen.

It is said that after filming that scene, Donnie Yen broke several wooden sticks.

From that time on, Wu Jing's career began to enter a low period, playing soy sauce as a supporting role in various Hong Kong films, and his popularity became lower and lower.

And Donnie Yen took Ye Weixin's ride, and the two successively collaborated on [Fuse], [Dragon Tiger Gate] and the [Ip Man] series that later made him popular.

[Kill the Wolf, Greedy Wolf] has nothing to do with the 05 [Kill the Wolf], although it belongs to a series of movies, but only the shooting style is similar, and the story plot has nothing to do with it.

The protagonist of the movie is Gu Tianle, who is also a police and bandit action movie, and the quality is better than [Breaking the Game].

Hong Kong Island films are really in short supply now, not only is the market shrinking, but the talent is gradually withering.

The older generation of Shuangzhou Cheng and the Four Heavenly Kings are gradually aging, and the new generation of actors are almost impossible to carry things, leaving Gu Tianle alone to support him.

In the current market, as long as it is a Hong Kong film, almost all of them are starring Gu Tianle, without exception.

In fact, Guan Xi and Nicholas Tse had high hopes at the beginning, but unfortunately one became a master of photography and the other focused on cooking, and they didn't care about Hong Kong Island movies.

At present, Hong Kong films are not dead, relying on some elderly actors and Hong Kong film directors who are older than them to support them, and when this wave of people can't shoot at all, Hong Kong films will really come to an end.

This is not alarmism.

In recent years, there have been many newcomers in the mainland entertainment industry, and young stars represented by Gu Wei have gradually stood on their heels in the circle, and the number of fans has even crushed the older generation of stars.

But there are basically no newcomers on Hong Kong Island, and everyone still mentions Liu Dehua, Gu Tianle, and Liang Chaowei, and the talent has been completely broken.

[Kill the Wolf, Greedy Wolf] has a good box office, in addition to the movie is really good, the publicity and distribution also play a big role.

Knowing that Wu Jing is now popular, Wu Jing has been mentioned many times since the movie premiere.

What "Director Ye Weixin thinks the villain is still good for Wu Jing~" "Martial arts instructor Hong Jinbao thinks that the old version of [Kill the Wolf] Wu Jing and Donnie Yen's fight is a classic"

knows how to rub the heat and work hard to promote, and the box office of the movie will naturally not be too bad.

"Brother, did you win the lottery today, so happy?"

On the set in the morning, Zhao Yanmai looked curiously at Gu Wei, who was also wearing clothes, while wearing bloated protective clothing.

"Is it so obvious?"

"Of course, when I look at you, I will encounter something good, and I will laugh in the morning."

"Actually, it's nothing, when I got up, I took a look at the real-time box office, and the box office of [Wolf Warrior 2] broke 5.5 billion"

At the end of the fourth week, no matter how popular [Wolf Warrior 2] is, it will inevitably fall into decline, and the single-day box office has dropped to more than 20 million, but this is not important, because the total box office of the movie has exceeded 5.5 billion yuan, which is only one step away from the 5.6 billion in the original time and space.

At this time, there is still a month before the release of [Wolf Warrior 2].

Gu Wei is happy because, according to the current box office trend, it is certain that the box office of [Wolf Warrior 2] with him will exceed the original version, and it will be able to steadily exceed 5.6 billion by the end of this week.

As for whether it can reach 6 billion in the end, it is difficult to say, after all, the lower the single-day box office in the future, it is possible to get two or three hundred million box office in the last month, or it may only get more than 100 million.

But no matter what, the result proved that Gu Wei's addition had a positive effect on [Wolf Warrior 2], which was why he was happy.

"Awesome, amazing." Zhao Yanmai involuntarily gave a thumbs up.

"You are also unprecedented, and you have completely left a name in the history of Chinese film!"

"There is nothing wrong with the ancients, but there is certainly no one who will come after them.

In the future, there will definitely be movies that surpass [Wolf Warrior 2] at the box office, but it is not certain how long it will take.

At the beginning, [Titanic] was the domestic movie box office champion for 11 years, and [Monster Hunt] was only more than half a year.

I don't know how many years [Wolf Warrior 2] can sit in this position."

"That's not up to you"

"Up to me?" Gu Wei didn't understand what Zhao Yanmai meant.

"That's right, depending on when you make a movie that surpasses [Wolf Warrior 2] at the box office, it will be the champion for a few years."

"Haha. Why me, not anyone else? ”

"I can't think of anyone else in China who has such a high box office other than you." Zhao Yanmai shook her head and said with a serious face.

At the end of August, more than half of Gu Wei's role in [The Wandering Earth] had been completed, and Wu Jing officially joined the group.

"Brother Jing, are you done with things outside?"

"Almost, during this time, all kinds of interviews have been endless, and you can hide and hide clean when you enter the group to film"

"Haha. Who made you so hot now?

Let's go, take you to see Director Guo"

The first person to be notified by Wu Jingjin's group must be Gu Wei, on the day he arrived, Gu Wei went to the Oriental Movie Capital to pick him up.

"Look, it's Wu Jing!"

"Hello Mr. Wu Jing!"

"Teacher Wu Jing [Wolf Warrior 2] is so good at shooting!"

“.”

Walking into the studio, the crew was very surprised to see the people around Gu Wei, and some of them took the initiative to say hello, and Wu Jing also responded with a smile.

During the release of [Wolf Warrior 2], Wu Jing's popularity and attention were indeed unparalleled, even Gu Wei, who was also the leading actor, was worse.

It's not that Gu Wei is not as famous as Wu Jing, but the topic of the two is different.

Gu Wei has always been very popular, the fire of [Wolf Warrior 2] just made him go to the next level, and Wu Jing was out of gas before [Wolf Warrior 1], and later relied on [Wolf Warrior 1] with a good box office to save some fame.

[Wolf Warrior 2] made him climb to the top in one step and directly became the highest-grossing director and actor in China.

This is like two students in the class, one has been scoring more than 90 points, and this time the test is 100, everyone will not be too surprised; But the other usually only scores more than 60 points, and this time he got a full score, and everyone will naturally pay more attention to him.

"Teacher Wu Jing, welcome."

Guo Fan, who was in the crew who was originally discussing filming with the cameraman, saw Wu Jing approaching and his eyes lit up.

"I'm sorry, Director Guo, I joined the group a little late."

"No, it came at the right time, a few days earlier than the agreed schedule."

Wu Jingjin filmed, and the happiest person was Guo Fan, in his heart, Gu Wei and Wu Jing were the sleeping dragons and phoenixes of [The Wandering Earth], and now that the two of them are together, he is completely relieved.

Guo Fan chatted with Wu Jing very enthusiastically for a while, and then took him around the crew studio to familiarize himself with the filming venue, which was similar to the process when Gu Wei came.

"Brother Jing, you take care of yourself first, there are still two scenes today, and when the filming is over, the wine will be set up for you in the evening."

"Director Guo, don't worry about me if you're busy."

Guo Fan smiled and began to get busy with business.

This is the first time Wu Jing has come to the [The Wandering Earth] crew, after entering the studio, especially Guo Fan took him around, just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, everything he saw opened his eyes.

Wu Jing never thought that the original sci-fi film could be filmed like this, and it turned out that there were really people in China who worked hard to create a sci-fi movie.

"How's it going, is it heavy?" After Guo Fan left, Wu Jing walked two steps to Gu Wei's side and watched him wear protective clothing with the help of the staff.

"Of course it's heavy, dozens of pounds, but I'm quite light, do you see the black exoskeleton that Li Guangjie and they are wearing over there, that 80 pounds, after they put it on, it's basically a day." Gu Wei Nunu motioned to Wu Jing to look over there.

"I heard from the director, it's good that I don't need to wear such heavy equipment"

"Hey, hey. You also have a scene in a spacesuit, which is said to be not much lighter than this."

"How does it feel like filming a sci-fi movie is harder than I am making an action movie" Wu Jing looked at the equipment on Gu Wei's body and picked up the round helmet from the ground. "It's so exquisitely made, it feels like the real thing."

"Science fiction films, you can't just rely on your mouth, props are the most important, all kinds of high-tech equipment must be realistic, otherwise how to show the awesomeness of science and technology?

These props are jointly designed and produced by [Beijing Physical Special Effects Studio 421] and [New Zealand Weta Studio], and the texture and details are full, and people believe that they are true when they are taken out. ”

As he spoke, Gu Wei raised his hand and showed Wu Jing the mechanical arm in his hand, which was the one that "Liu Qi" used to smash the display screen at the beginning of the movie.

Wu Jing looked at this high-tech robotic arm, and then looked up at the surrounding scenery.

"It's going to cost a lot of money to make the scene so big, right?"

At this time, he changed his carelessness when he came to help Gu Wei, and began to pay attention to this domestic movie.

"Not much, 400 million" Gu Wei stretched out four fingers, and his tone was flat.

"Zhongying is so bold?"

"I'm half of the China Film family."

"You vote so much?

Not afraid of losing money?"

Wu Jing was a little surprised, he knew that Gu Wei was an investor in [The Wandering Earth], but he only thought that the other party was a salary conversion investment, at most he did it for nothing, but he didn't expect to invest so much money.

Gu Wei grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.

"Brother Jing, your [Wolf Warrior 2] has helped me make so much money, there must be somewhere to spend it.

I think Director Guo is a practical person, and "The Wandering Earth" is a very good science fiction movie.

Maybe everyone can rely on this film to open the door to Chinese science fiction movies and set an example for future science fiction films.

A little money is nothing for the sake of dreams."

Listening to Gu Wei's words, Wu Jing couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, anyone can say beautiful words, but who can take out 200 million yuan.

As far as the current situation of domestic sci-fi films is concerned, Gu Wei can come up with so much money to support the shooting, it can only be said that he really loves it.

"Let me introduce you, this is my sister, Zhao Yanmai"

"Hello Teacher Wu Jing," Zhao Yanmai saw that Wu Jing was a little restrained.

"Hello, the little girl looks so cute, you don't need to call the teacher, just call Brother Jing"

"There is no scene of Uncle Da today, he is not on the scene, and the two of us have a scene together"

The crew has been on for two months, Wu Mengda's scenes are basically finished, and after Wu Jing joins the group, he can make up for their scenes, and he can finish it.

"Uncle Da and I also know each other, when we were mixed up on Hong Kong Island, we worked together on a film, and it has been more than ten years"

"It's just that we are eating together in the evening, you can catch up and have two more drinks with Uncle Da"

Oriental Films all say that big is not big, and it is not small.

The news of Wu Jingjin's group spread quickly, and the crew of [Crazy Alien] next door also knew that the other leading actor of [The Wandering Earth] had arrived.

"Guo Fan, what kind of shit luck is this" Ning Hao knew the news from the staff, shook his head and said with emotion.

The relationship between him and Guo Fan is really good, Ning Hao helped a lot in the filming of the original time and space [The Wandering Earth], even if Guo Fan has nothing to help with now, the two of them always discuss some shooting problems together.

The movies of the two are adapted by Da Liu, so they naturally have a common topic.

"Luck is a wonderful thing, and you don't know when it will befall you." Xu Zheng was wearing a strange device on his head, and his face was full of small white dots.

He and Ning Hao are iron buddies, and he also played a role in [Crazy Alien], the alien who looks like a monkey.

The thing he wore on his head was a motion cap that captured his facial expressions.

The alien expressions in future movies are made by capturing Xu Zheng's facial movements.

"Hehe, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, your own company makes a low-cost romance movie, and you actually took a shit luck to let Gu Wei take a fancy to it"

"I didn't expect it, luck, luck" Xu Zheng smiled and grinned, very unbeaten.

However, Guo Fan was really lucky, and he found two protagonists, Gu Wei and Wu Jing, for filming, and the last movie they collaborated on exploded like this.

[The Wandering Earth] became popular before it was sown all of a sudden

Haozi, one day find Guo Fan, Wu Jing, and Gu Wei next door to come out for a meal together, and everyone will contact and contact each other together.

I'm going to cooperate with Gu Wei at the end of the year, and I'm not familiar with him yet."

Ning Hao thought for a moment.

"Okay, take Shen Teng and Bozi, they have a good relationship with Gu Wei, I'll touch Guo Fan."
