Chapter 608: Put it on the lips and put it in the heart
Due to the good word-of-mouth, coupled with the relationship between many celebrities to help promote, the first day of the film schedule of [Nobody] is much better than that of the original time and space.
In fact, this is mainly due to the fact that there were really no films worth watching during the same period.
The movies released on the same day as [Nobody] include [Desperate Clock 2:22], [Moving Labyrinth 3: Antidote to Death], [24 Hours: Rebirth at the End], [Five Degrees of Space], [S4 Demon Conquering] and several other movies.
It's either a bad Hollywood movie or a bad domestic movie.
Comparatively speaking, [Nobody] is absolutely outstanding in terms of quality.
After the play in the evening, Gu Wei and Liu Yifei found a nearby restaurant for dinner, and then came to the nearest cinema.
The assistant had already booked a charter in advance, and the two of them went in directly with sunglasses and masks.
When he walked into the theater, Gu Wei took Liu Yifei's little hand, and the other party also obediently held his big hand, his face was a little red under the mask, but he didn't say anything.
"Here, your juice, and popcorn." Gu Wei led the other party to the two best viewing positions in the middle of the theater, and took off his mask and sunglasses after sitting down.
"Okay."
"Huh?
Why is your face a little red, is it hot to wear a mask? Gu Wei put his coat on another chair and turned his head to look at Liu Yifei, who also took off his mask.
"Ah, indeed, a little"
Recently, there has been a lot of physical contact between the two of them, and it was almost a kiss scene, Gu Wei is also a little used to these close physical contacts, and holding hands or anything is not taken seriously at all.
However, Liu Yifei, who is delicate, still feels a little different.
"No way, let's come out, masks, sunglasses, caps are a must.
That's why every time I watch a movie, I book it out. ”
"It's nothing, it's much better now." Liu Yifei took two deep breaths.
The movie started soon, and she also shifted her attention from Gu Wei to the big screen.
[Nameless] also has a name called "Panic Gun Walking".
The film revolves around a lost old gun, telling a pair of low-profile robbers, a down-and-out security guard, and a physically disabled but fierce woman with a poisonous tongue, a series of absurd stories that happened to these "unknown people".
"Ma Xianyong" played by Chen Jianbin is the male lead, but the most exciting part of the whole film is the high paraplegic "Ma Jiaqi" and the two stupid thieves "Hu Guangsheng" and "Li Haigen".
Like Two Smoking Guns and Crazy Stone, Nobody is also a multi-linear narrative structure.
Finally, all the characters were gathered at the "mourning" meeting to usher in the climax and ending of the movie.
Obviously, "Nobody" is a very high-quality movie.
In Hu Guangsheng said seriously, "Lao Tzu whole AK, you make Laifu, bigger and stronger, and create brilliance!" At that time, Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing.
When the two robbers found out that they had robbed a bunch of mobile phone models, she couldn't hold back her laughter at all.
However, immediately afterwards, Ma Jiaqi, a high paraplegic, became incontinent and lost the most basic dignity as a person.
The 108-minute movie is not too long, and soon the finale arrives, with subtitles scrolling on the screen and the song of the same name "The Nameless" also playing.
“.
Who am I nameless
It doesn't matter who you forget
Who is not desperate to get to the end of life
”
"No" Gu Wei handed the tissue in his hand to Liu Yifei.
"Thank you" wiped his red eyes and blew his nose again.
"You're right, it's a really good film"
"Of course, when did my vision miss."
"What is the name of the actress who plays Ma Jiaqi?
It's a great performance."
"Ren Suxi, born in drama.
Many of the actors in this movie are from drama backgrounds, their acting skills are very good, and they often have a certain tension when creating characters. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Liu Yifei, who was moved by the movie and his eyes were red.
"I thought you wouldn't feel it that deeply.
After all, this film is all about the joys and sorrows of little people."
"In your eyes, I'm so uncannibalistic?" Liu Yifei retorted.
"Are you a fairy sister, it's not normal not to eat fireworks in the world." Gu Wei joked with a smile.
There is a quote in Maugham's "The Moon and Sixpence" that says, "I have done my best to live an ordinary life."
For ordinary people, life really is like that.
If you don't admit defeat, it will tell you - "Despite your best efforts, you can only live an ordinary life"; You are confused, and it will tell you - "You have to do your best to live an ordinary life".
This world has never really been empathetic, especially for people who have never fallen to the ground, it is difficult to understand the difficulties and predicaments of small people."
Gu Wei said lightly, Liu Yifei listened carefully, in fact, she agreed with these words.
Due to her background and experience, she gets up early, plays the gentle and lovely "Ling'er", and the "Little Dragon Girl" who does not eat fireworks in the world is very handy.
But some complex roles can be overwhelmed by a lack of relevant experience.
"You, Senior Master Gu, have never encountered any setbacks.
In terms of your family, I am afraid that the growth environment when I was young was much better than mine, and since my debut, I have gone all the way to heights that others can hardly imagine.
If you want to say that you don't eat fireworks in the world, you are a real immortal, how can you empathize with ordinary people? ”
Liu Yifei pursed his lips as he spoke.
"What's more, you're still a genius, how can you know the difficulties of us ordinary people."
Hearing what she said, Gu Wei remembered the days when he graduated from college in his last life, and after his family went bankrupt, he went to work in sales in order to make money to pay off his debts, his legs were broken, his mouth was worn out, and he had to be looked down upon.
In order to save money, I was never willing to go to the cinema to watch movies, and even video members rubbed against colleagues, or looked for pirated copies on the Internet.
But I have to say that doing a good job in sales is really profitable, Gu Weiken is hard-working, hard enough, the guy is good-looking and energetic, and his income in a few years after graduation is far more than those classmates who sit in the office.
With the situation at that time, the family's debts were paid off, and relying on the customer resources he had accumulated in his hands for several years, no matter which company he went to in the same industry, it was a proper sales crown.
In the next few years, buying a house and a car, it is not a problem to mix in the middle class in a big city.
"You say I'm a genius, it's not a problem to do this" Gu Wei smiled and patted Liu Yifei's head.
"Don't pat me on the head
I feel that you are becoming more and more presumptuous now, it turns out that Sister Yifei shouted that she was more respectful to me, and later called Qianqian at dinner, this time the filming is completely out of pretense, right?"
"Well, doesn't that mean we have a good relationship?
It used to be respectful, but now it's respectful." Gu Wei smiled and scratched his head.
"Hmph. You always have an excuse."
On Friday, January 26, the first day of the release of [The Nameless], it won a box office score of 38.64 million with an 18% national film scheduling rate.
The Hollywood blockbuster [Moving Maze 3: Antidote to Death] won the first-day box office of 51.6 million with 29% of the scheduled films, becoming the champion of the day, but the attendance rate of this movie is far inferior to that of [Nobody], and the reputation is quite bad.
The Indian film on the 8th day of release, Aamir Khan's [Mystery Superstar], ranked third with a score of 30.5 million.
Several other films on their first day of release had rather dismal box office results.
The comedy "S4 Demon Conquerer" starring Liu Xiaoguang (played by Zhao Si) and Wen Song only had a box office of 710,000 on the first day of release, and it rushed to grandma's house.
In the next two days, the reputation of [Nobody] gradually spread, and the box office on Saturday and Sunday reversed, winning 45.62 million and 58.95 million respectively, becoming the national box office champion for the two days of the weekend.
The total box office in the first week was 143 million, and it was unbeatable in terms of word-of-mouth, far ahead of other movies released in the same period.
Nearly 100,000 people on Douban gave this movie a high score of 8.4.
You must know that on Douban, it is not easy for domestic movies to get high scores, and those that can score 8 are really good films.
[Exceeded expectations, the director was so bad, first to make people laugh and then make people cry, and when you thought it was just a slapstick comedy, the curtain was suddenly unveiled, revealing the painful reality of the little people. 】
[This year's best domestic comedy is gone, and the multi-line narrative is still a test of the director, screenwriter's skills and actors' performances, fortunately, the completion of this film is very good, Ren Suxi and Zhang Yu are so powerful, I strongly recommend it! ] 】
[I went to watch the movie because of Gu Wei's recommendation, and the result was really, very pleasantly surprised, and I am now looking forward to the Spring Festival file "Nezha".
Gu Wei's second animated film as a producer, I hope it will be the second "The Return of the Great Sage"! 】
[The singularity of this movie is that when you look at the photo shoot, some people are laughing and some are crying in the movie theater, and I am the latter. 】
In the blink of an eye, in February, with the blessing of good word-of-mouth, the second week of the release of [Nobody] is still unabated, and although the daily box office results cannot be compared with some big-selling movies, it is steady, and it will reverse from time to time.
On the evening of February 2, Gu Wei's flight flew across the Pacific Ocean and landed at Minneapolis International Airport in Minnesota, USA.
Minneapolis is the largest city in Minnesota, USA, located in the southeast of the state, across the Mississippi River, with a beautiful environment and a strategic location.
It's just that among the 50 states in the United States, Minnesota belongs to the kind of sparsely populated and economically backward areas.
According to 2006 statistics, Minnesota's total population was just over 5.12 million, less than one-sixtieth of the total population of the United States.
Minneapolis, the so-called largest city, is also a small and medium-sized city in the United States.
Since this year's Super Bowl was held here, the city's various hotels and other accommodations were already overcrowded, and they were crowded with spectators from all over the United States.
"The organizers have arranged a hotel for us to stay, which is a Four Seasons Hotel not far from the "City Dome" stadium.
In this way, it will be much more convenient whether it is a performance or watching a game.
In addition to this, there are tickets to the Super Bowl game the day after tomorrow, and after tomorrow's performance, you can watch the game live the day after tomorrow."
Outside the night, Gu Wei came out of the airport and got into the car to the hotel.
Yang Dan's "City Dome" stadium is the venue for this "Super Bowl", which was only built in 2016 and can accommodate 70,000 people to watch the game, which is the home of the Minnesota Vikings.
"Now that you're here, there's no need to rush, and you don't care if it's one more day or one less day.
Tomorrow the performance, the day after tomorrow competition, naturally you have to watch the game before leaving."
"Understood, boss, are we going to leave on the evening of the 4th or the morning of the 5th?"
"On the 5th, the game will last for 4 hours at 3:30 p.m., and it will be almost 8 o'clock when it ends."
"Okay, I'll go back and confirm the route with the airline."
Gu Wei is a private jet, and he doesn't need to buy a ticket where to go, but he needs to negotiate the route with the airline in advance.
To be honest, this is much more troublesome than buying tickets, but there are subordinates to deal with, and you don't have to worry about it.
And the comfort is incomparable to the first class of an ordinary airliner.
Just like this trip to the United States, after more than 10 hours, Gu Wei slept and arrived after dealing with some work on the plane, without much fatigue.
