Chapter 589: Propaganda is too easy to take the blame
"I found that as long as you show up, there will always be some news that can be on the hot search, which Mr. Wang Feng should be particularly envious of" After Gu Wei returned to the crew, Zhao Liying looked at him and said jokingly.
"I also bought hot searches in the first two years of my debut, and I couldn't hold it down after all these years.
It's also a nuisance to be too red." Gu Wei shrugged.
"Stinky Show"
After returning from the capital, Gu Wei continued to devote himself to the filming of [Do You Know].
Fast forward to November.
On the 3rd, [Thor 3: Ragnarok] was released, as one of the Marvel superhero series movies, Thor's popularity in China is actually average.
The first part didn't even break 100 million at the domestic box office.
However, in recent years, the construction of the Marvel Universe has become more and more perfect, and various heroes who were not well-known have become more and more popular through the big sales of [The Avengers].
Although [Thor 3] is not particularly popular in China, it also got a box office of nearly 400 million in the first week.
It's not a big hit, but looking at the trend, it should be able to get a box office of about $100 million in the domestic market, which is not a small supplement to the global box office of the movie.
A week later, on November 9, the Sino-US co-production "Beacon Fangfei" starring Liu Yifei held a premiere press conference in Beijing.
The next day, the movie was officially released.
It's a pity that the box office of this anti-Japanese war drama film on the first day was only 5.12 million, and the box office in the first three days was less than 13 million, which was an obvious box office fiasco.
I'm afraid that the three of them will become tigers, accumulate and destroy bones, no matter how heroic you are, everyone in the world will say that you are a bastard lamb, and after a long time, everyone in the world will believe it.
Didn't you suffer this loss in the first place?"
On the bamboo couch in the bedroom, Gu Tingye and Minglan sat hugging each other.
At this time, Minglan was wearing a pink brocade dress and dressed as a married woman.
She held a white handkerchief and spoke to Gu Tingye while wiping her face and ears.
"I'm a bastard, and Madame is fighting for me?"
was originally unhappy because of some things in the court, but when Gu Tingye heard his wife say this, he looked at her happily.
"We are one husband and wife, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, of course I have to think about everything for your sake."
"It's very needy, I broke out of the sea of swords and fires, what else do I care about?" I don't know why Gu Tingye heard Minglan 's very reasonable words, his face pulled down again, and his tone was stiff.
"Is this angry again?" Minglan was a little inexplicable.
Suddenly, Gu Tingye hugged her and kissed her on the mouth, which blinded Minglan in one fell swoop.
Then he kissed it again.
"Anyway, you can't run, it's a long time coming."
After saying that, he stood up with a smile as if he had picked up something cheap and walked outside.
Don't forget to go back and say a word to Minglan again.
"Dinner together in the evening, hehe"
Minglan was a little confused, with a little sweetness in her heart, but she was still angry on her face.
"He's just a scoundrel, moody, one moment happy, the next he doesn't know how to lose his temper again.
The Bodhisattva is not so difficult to serve."
"Click! This time was very good, over! ”
The director's voice came, and Zhao Liying also breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on her face.
She filmed this not very difficult scene with Gu Wei several times, not that there was anything bad about acting, but she always laughed.
When she finished her previous lines, Gu Wei suddenly kissed her twice, she couldn't help laughing, and she could only remake it over and over again.
But it's nothing, it's normal to laugh during filming, and everyone doesn't pay much attention to it.
"I'll just kiss you twice, is there that coke?" Gu Wei's character came out of the camera first, waiting for Zhao Liying to finish filming on the side.
"I didn't mean to, I just wanted to laugh." Zhao Liying still has a smiling face.
"Have you been shooting our scenes particularly well in the past few days?"
"How?"
"The two of us are now as if I am holding the heroine's script, and I want to fall in love with you, and I hope you will be jealous and express your love for my husband.
You, the eldest lady, are dedicated to her career, never informal, and everything is extremely sober."
After Gu Wei finished speaking, Zhao Liying couldn't help laughing.
"Isn't this good, there are a lot of dramas about girls' love brains, so it seems that our drama is novel.
By the time it is broadcast, your role as Gu Tingye will definitely be liked by many girls."
After filming in the morning, the lunch break, the two sat face to face and ate a boxed lunch together.
"Do you say that it is difficult for a big heroine movie to achieve good box office results?"
"Why do you ask?" Gu Wei took a sip of food and asked strangely.
Zhao Liying pouted and tilted her head slightly.
"Look at Liu Yifei's [Beacon Fangfei] in the past two days, how miserable the box office is.
She became famous so early, her fame and national popularity are so high, except for [Tang Detective 2] filmed with you over the years, the box office of the starring movies has not been very ideal.
It seems that the blockbuster movies in recent years have almost no women as the main characters, and most of them are vases.
It's the same with my previous "Riding the Wind and Waves."
"How to say it, your so-called big heroine movie should be a film that unfolds from a female perspective.
In the market, there are relatively few such movies, and if the base is not up, the probability of a hit is very small.
This is also because most of the creators in the film and television industry are men, and the directors, screenwriters, and producers are all men, so the movies created naturally are mainly from a male perspective.
As for whether [Beacon Fangfei] is a blockbuster or not, it has nothing to do with whether the protagonist is male or female, it is mainly a matter of the movie.
Just like the "Great Wall" before, everyone is not very interested in the love story of a foreign pilot and a Chinese widow who they don't know.
In addition, how does the Danish director know what the Chinese audience wants to see, and the things filmed are likely to be unadaptable.
So even Liu Yifei can't save [Beacon Fangfei]. ”
Zhao Liying nodded slightly.
"Then how do you think a movie with a female role can be played to be popular with everyone?"
"Comedy and romance." Gu Wei replied without hesitation.
"Judging from the preferences of the domestic film market, comedy is still a panacea.
It is the best weapon to harvest high box office at a small cost.
And there is no distinction between men and women.
Like the eleventh "Iron Fist of Shame", Ma Li's role is by no means less than Allen's, not a rimmed vase, but the absolute protagonist who supports the plot.
Then there are romance films.
The more successful chick movies that Bai Lily made before were all typical urban romance films.
From a female perspective, the story is plain and moving, and it is natural that it can be liked by the audience."
Gu Wei's success in the film field is comparable to few people in domestic entertainment, and Zhao Liying naturally agrees with his words.
"Do you think my [Daughter Country] has any hope of being a big hit in the Spring Festival?"
Gu Wei's face was embarrassed.
"I haven't seen the movie, how to analyze it, is it purely a guess?"
"Then you can guess." Zhao Liying said a little coquettishly.
"The audience of Journey to the West-themed movies in China must be huge, and director Zheng Baorui's previous "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" and "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" have also achieved good results.
However, this adaptation of a classic can easily become thankless.
The audience who has changed too much said that you don't respect the original work, and the adaptation is not a blind fabrication.
According to the original book, it is said that you are lazy and have no idea of your own.
Unless the story is very exciting, it will always be picked on by the audience."
After Gu Wei finished speaking, Zhao Liying held her little face and looked away.
"I'm a little worried when you say that."
"The movie is not yours alone, I looked at the promotional poster before, and the names of Guo Fucheng and Feng Shaofeng are in front of you.
A piece of advice to you, unless you are sure that the film will be successful, when promoting the movie, don't highlight your presence too much. ”
Zhao Liying blinked her eyes wide and listened to Gu Wei continue to speak.
"When promoting a movie, being too self-proclaimed will have two consequences.
Either the movie is a big hit, and the audience and industry insiders recognize your acting skills and box office appeal.
Either the movie fails and you take the blame for it"
Gu Wei said it more politely, in fact, [Journey to the West: Daughter Country] is completely a major Waterloo for Zhao Liying to enter the film field.
In the past two years, she has succeeded in TV series one after another, and her popularity has soared, so she can receive the heroine role of a big production like [Daughter Country].
Before the movie was released, it was also under the banner of Zhao Liying, and constantly promoted and built momentum.
What "Gong Huangying Queen" and the most beautiful "Daughter Country Lord" hung the audience's appetite high.
As a result, after the movie was released, the box office reputation was lost, and how hard it was advertised at the beginning, how miserable it was sprayed later.
This failure ruined Zhao Liying's good start [Riding the Wind and Waves] all of a sudden, and even her acting skills were questioned.
There is no way, she can only return to the field of TV dramas that she is familiar with.
But to be honest, Zhao Liying in [Daughter Country] is actually just a three-time heroine, and there are Guo Fucheng and Feng Shaofeng in front of her.
I don't know how many more bad movies these two people have played than her, but they are still not affected, and there is no shortage of resources in the future.
In the evening, the crew of the hotel room.
Gu Wei sat on the sofa watching TV, Zhao Liying was wearing a pink silk pajamas, putting her legs on his body, and holding an apple in her hand to gnaw.
"You're really right, this Zhang Songwen's acting skills are really good.
and Zhou Yiwei and Zhai Tianlin are also good, they all seem to be very good actors."
The two of them were watching [The Birth of an Actor], which was broadcast on Blueberry Channel on the 28th of last month.
This variety show has been very popular since it was broadcast, and the Internet is full of discussions about the actors' acting skills.
"How can I say that I am also a person who has won the emperor, to put it mildly, in terms of acting skills, I am definitely not worse than Zhang Ziyi, Liu Ye and other mentors.
It's absolutely no problem to look at people." Gu Wei was unceremonious.
"Huh. You're the best." Zhao Liying smiled and put the apple in her hand to Gu Wei's mouth, and he also took a bite of it.
[The Birth of an Actor] three competitions in one phase, today's first Zhang Songwen PK Wang Liang [Halfway Brothers], Zhang Songwen easily won with his superb acting skills.
The gap between the two is too big, even non-professional ordinary viewers can see it.
The second game is Ouyang Nana PK Zheng Hao [My father and mother].
At the end of this competition, Ouyang Nana also contributed the famous "Ant Race Walking for Ten Years" stalk.
"Hey, how dare you come to this kind of variety show with this level of acting skills." On TV, the judges were still commenting on the performances of the two contestants just now, and Zhao Liying looked incredulous.
Before Gu Wei returned to her, the style of the show had changed suddenly, and Zheng Hao, who was crushed by his acting skills, not only did not receive praise, but was questioned by the judges as a "drama bully", and finally lost to the "ant race walk" in the final voting session.
"Under what circumstances, this can also be won?"
"Ahem, it's not an accident, this little girl has some background, and the tour is not good-looking, and the program team probably only intends to protect her in this issue." Gu Wei explained.
"What background?"
"My parents are artists on the other side of Wanwan and have some connections.
But I can only help her fight for some small opportunities."
Zhao Liying nodded when she heard this.
In the entertainment industry, the second generation of stars is very common.
Their starting point is higher than that of ordinary people, and they have more opportunities, but in the end, it depends on them whether they can stand firm.
The small house is the second generation of the strongest star in the entertainment industry, and which of the Chinese stars dares to say that it is more famous than Cheng Long.
But even so, before the accident, with my father's support all the way, it still didn't catch fire, and it didn't get high or low.
"Shu Sing and Xin Zhilei in the last issue of the actress are good, I don't know how much better than this one!"
"It's a pity for Shu Sing, I watched her [Baolian Lantern] and [Magic Mobile] when I was a child, Xiaoyu and Silly Niu were very popular at that time.
Later, I heard that she went to college, and she went to a school that had nothing to do with acting.
After returning to the entertainment industry, the popularity of the year was exhausted, and since then it has been sluggish."
"So the choice is really important, and you must not miss the opportunity, once you have the opportunity, you must firmly grasp it!"
Zhao Liying's background is much lower than Shu Sing, and she understands better than anyone that opportunities are not easy to come by.
Xin Zhilei is just the opposite of Shu Sing, she is a late bloomer, she is one year older than Zhao Liying, but it didn't become popular until last year's [Yangtze River Map] was released.
Of course, her fire is not at the audience level, but in the industry, directors and producers all know that there is an actress named Xin Zhilei with good acting skills and cheapness.
At least I won't have to worry about no filming in the future.
The filming time of the crew always passes quickly, and before you know it, Gu Wei's scene is about to be finished.
Good news came from the company's side one after another.
The first round of broadcast rights of [Dear Love] Satellite TV was finally won by Mango Channel, and the network will be broadcast by Tengxun Video, iQiyi, and Mango TV at the same time.
The total copyright fee is 615 million, and the copyright fee for a single episode is similar to [You Are My Glory].
After communicating with several broadcast platforms, [Dear Love] will be launched after the Spring Festival next year.
is the same as this year's [Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms], as the opening drama of 2018.
Gu Wei has no opinion on this, he is confident in [Dear Love], although it is only an idol drama, the results and popularity are definitely not low.
After the script of [Sito] was sent to Jing Tian, Da Tiantian specially called Gu Wei to express his gratitude and asked him to have dinner together.
Gu Wei readily agreed, but the time still needs to be discussed, after all, both of them are currently in the group to film, and they are all available.
