Chapter 661 Group Night
As time goes by, the popularity of "Super Time and Space Cohabitation" is slowly declining, and the single-day box office has also declined severely, but the total box office is getting higher and higher, approaching 2 billion yuan.
However, whether it is Xu Zheng, Su Lun, Wang Changtian of Guangguang, or even Gu Wei himself, they are all very satisfied with the current performance of the movie.
A low-cost love movie can get such a high box office, and everyone has made a lot of money.
It can be said that everyone is happy with the ending.
As for the actors, the huge sales of "Super Time and Space Cohabitation" did not bless Gu Wei much. It is natural that the box office performance of the movies he starred in is good, and no one is surprised.
If the box office of the movie flopped one day, it would be major news.
However, for Liu Yifei, "Super Time and Space Cohabitation" made many viewers reverse their impression of her.
Although Liu Yifei has been shooting movies in recent years, she has basically not achieved any results.
Especially in recent years, the works she starred in have been quite unsatisfactory in terms of box office and word of mouth.
Although the box office of "Blade of Assassins" which she first collaborated with Gu Wei in 2012 was only 200 million yuan, it had a good reputation and was considered a rare masterpiece among her works.
In 2016, she played a vase heroine in "Detective Chinatown 2", and the box office of the movie reached 3.9 billion yuan, which was considered to be a recovery for her.
Unfortunately, her role was not outstanding, and she was not as impressive as the second female "KIKO" played by Nazha.
In the past two years, with the release of "Fenghuo Fangfei" and "The Second Generation of Fairies", Liu Yifei's reputation has dropped a lot.
These two movies are not bad movies, but very mediocre, whether in terms of box office or word of mouth.
It disappointed netizens and fans who were looking forward to her works.
Fortunately, the big sales of "Time Travel Cohabitation" helped her regain a wave of impression points.
Tianxian fans spread the word that it was not easy for their idol to have a movie with both good box office and good reputation.
Moreover, in "Super Time and Space Cohabitation", Liu Yifei's role is not a supporting female lead. Her role is not weaker than that of the male lead Gu Wei, and her character is also more likable.
Many of her fans on the Internet left messages on Liu Yifei's Weibo, hoping that she would not take any roles casually in the future, and it would be best if she could cooperate with Gu Wei to bring good works to everyone.
Across the ocean, the training ground of the "Mulan" crew.
After practicing martial arts for a long time, Liu Yifei walked to the side of the field to rest, took the towel from the assistant to wipe the sweat on her head, and took her own water cup to drink.
"Drink water slowly after exercise, it's not good for your health."
Liu Yifei's mother also accompanied her during her training.
In fact, Liu Xiaoli no longer follows Liu Yifei in recent years, but she happened to be in the United States during this period, and came to see her when she had nothing to do.
"I know"
Liu Yifei said, but her movements did not change at all.
She is tired and thirsty now. There are many martial arts routines to practice before filming the movie. She is a strong-willed person and hopes to achieve perfection as much as possible, so the training every day is very hard.
"The current box office of [Super Time and Space Cohabitation] is about to break 2 billion, which is nearly 300 million in US dollars. This result is considered a big hit even in the North American market."
Liu Xiaoli is very happy for her daughter's starring love movie to achieve such good results.
Liu Yifei also showed a happy smile on her face.
"I thought it would be good to break 1 billion, but I didn't expect the box office to be so high, more than double my expectations."
In fact, she started to think about breaking 1 billion because the male lead was Gu Wei.
After all, it is also a fantasy love movie. The box office of [The Second Generation of Fairies] she collaborated with Feng Shaofeng was less than 300 million yuan.
"Many of your fans online hope that you can work with Gu Wei more in the future, and advise you not to take on any role casually."
"Haha~ It's easy to say, and I don't have the final say on this matter."
Liu Yifei picked up the water cup and took another sip. She didn't know if the movie she worked with Gu Wei would be a big hit. The key is that the opportunity is rare.
Liu's mother nodded.
"Because [Super Time and Space Cohabitation] is a big hit, many projects have come to you recently."
"How is the TV series we talked about before?"
Liu Yifei suddenly asked.
"Originally, because your schedule was not suitable, they wanted to change someone, but recently they said they could wait for you."
"Then take it. I like the original comic very much. The story is very good, and it's a TV series with a strong female lead."
"Xixi, are you really going to go back to filming TV series again?" Liu Xiaoli confirmed again.
"Yes, Gu Wei advised me twice before.
I've also come to terms with it. Actually, movies and TV series are the same. The main thing is to have a good story. If it's successful, the audience will like it."
"Okay, I'll sign a contract with the crew there later. You can join the crew directly after "Mulan" is finished."
After saying that, Liu Xiaoli thought of something.
"I haven't seen Gu Wei for a while. Next time you go back to Beijing, ask him to come to your house for dinner."
"Well, he's much busier than me. I guess he won't have time."
"No matter how busy you are, you have to have dinner. Besides, it's not like he hasn't come before.
Although you are friends, you have to visit more and contact more, so that the relationship will become closer and closer, and people will think of you when there is a suitable opportunity."
Liu Yifei pouted.
'You don't know, you've been so close to the bed, and the best thing is to get a certificate.'
But these can only be thought of in her mind, and she will definitely not tell her mother.
"I know, when I have time, I'm also very busy during this period"
Hangzhou, Xiaoshan International Airport.
After the flight from the mountain city landed, Gu Wei got out of the airport and drove to Guali Cultural and Sports Center to participate in the [Produce 101] finals.
The girl group talent show that lasted for more than 100 days is finally coming to an end. At the invitation of Long Danni, Gu Wei attended the final group formation night as a guest.
In the car, he took out his mobile phone and skillfully logged into his trumpet account to surf the Internet, casually flipping through the popular news in recent times.
Zhou Dongyu has not kept a low profile since leaving the crew. The movie "Animal World" starring her and Li Yifeng will be released soon, and she is following the crew to promote it.
Photos from road shows and press conferences were reported, and they looked to be in good condition.
The release date of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is getting closer and closer, and the promotion is also going on intensively.
The crew released several trailers and posters one after another, and Wen Mu also led Xiao Yang and Tan Zhuo to come back from Thailand to promote the film.
This film is a comedy, and the first impression it gives to the audience is that it is another comedy masterpiece by Wen Muya after "Love Saint". The protagonist is still Xiao Yang, and Gu Wei also participates as a gimmick. The publicity effect looks very good.
"Haha~ Audiences who really watch this as a comedy will probably enter the theater laughing and leave crying."
Gu Wei is very confident in "I'm Not the God of Medicine". This movie can definitely be regarded as a conscientious work of domestic movies. No matter what the audience's mentality is before entering the theater, they will sigh after going out to see a good movie.
At 8 p.m., the live broadcast of the finals of the annual popular variety show [Produce 101] officially begins.
After the opening section of the girls' hot dance, the two hosts Huang Bo and Patty Hou took the stage.
Gu Wei appeared as a special guest today and needed to announce the debut rankings of the girls in the final session.
Nothing happened to him in the previous session, and he was happy and resting in the lounge backstage.
The overall game is considered the most important phase of [Produce 101]. All efforts and expectations will bear fruit on this night.
The program team has also prepared a lot for this.
In addition to Gu Wei, Jiang Wen, Peng Yuyan, and Liao Fan also came to the scene as special guests. Like Gu Wei, they will appear on stage at different times of the show to cheer for the girls and announce some results.
"Mr. Gu, please introduce me. This is Mr. Du from Lehua."
In the lounge, Long Danni led a short-haired mature woman to Gu Wei's side.
"Hello, Mr. Gu. It's better to be famous than to meet you. I've wanted to get to know you for a long time, but unfortunately I haven't had the right opportunity."
When the short-haired woman saw Gu Wei, she extended her hand with a smile on her face and her attitude was very enthusiastic.
"Hello, Mr. Du, I have long admired your name.
Like Mr. Long, you are a well-known strong woman in the entertainment industry. I have heard about it for a long time, and when I saw you today, you are indeed extraordinary."
Gu Wei also smiled and stretched out his hand.
This is Du Hua, the manager of Han Geng, the first generation of traffic in China, the founder and boss of [Lehua Media], and known as the "godmother of girl groups" in domestic entertainment.
Cheng Xiao, whom Gu Wei has been in contact with before, Wu Xuanyi and Meng Meiqi, who are popular in today's group night, including 101's mentor Wang Yibo, are all her artists.
"Mr. Du came here today for Wu Xuanyi and Meng Meiqi. The two girls are very good and have always performed well in the show.
Mr. Du’s vision is still as good as ever.”
"Haha, where is it?
I heard Mr. Long say that Yang Chaoyue is actually Mr. Gu’s person, that little girl has a very cute personality, is very popular with the audience, and her future is limitless.”
Both of them are bosses, and both are artists on stage. They started exchanging business blows when they first met. Although they were a little too polite, the atmosphere of the conversation was still good.
On the stage, one session after another passed. There were group dances by the girl group members, performances by the instructors of [Produce 101], and the appearance of Jiang Wen, Peng Yuyan, and Liao Fan from the crew of [The Evil Is Not Suppressing the Righteous]. .
Finally, tonight’s group night performance came to an end.
11 out of 22 were selected. After two rounds of announcements, 8 of the 11 seats at the top were already occupied, leaving only the top three empty.
".Now we are going to make the most important announcement, and we will also invite an important guest.
We invite the famous actor and director Gu Wei to take the stage."
After Huang Bo finished speaking, Gu Wei walked onto the stage to the sound of brisk music.
With his appearance, the already tired audience burst into enthusiastic cheers again.
There were many spectators at the finals, but no one knew that Gu Wei would appear on the stage today.
Most of these viewers are loyal fans of [Produce 101], and they are the 101 girls who watch this talent show and come to the stage.
Originally, everyone had different goals of support. One liked Meng Meiqi, and the other liked Yang Chaoyue. They would occasionally ridicule each other, saying that your idol is short and her idol is bad at dancing.
But the moment Gu Wei showed up, all the barriers and differences disappeared because everyone was a fan of Gu Wei.
"Hello everyone"
Gu Wei walked onto the stage, stood between the two hosts, and waved to the audience.
There was another deafening scream.
“I am very happy to come to [Produce 101] again, and I am very happy to meet these outstanding and hard-working girls again.
I have been paying attention to this show. To be honest, I really like the girls in [Produce 101], their youth and vitality, and even more, their persistence and hard work.
Everyone has a dream, and all those who work for their dreams deserve our respect.
Although there are only 11 girls who can debut on this stage today, to all the girls in my heart who are working hard for their dreams, you have already made your C-level debut in your life."
After Gu Wei came on stage, he chatted with Huang Bo for a few words, then encouraged the girls on the stage, and finally announced the top three candidates for debut.
"First of all, I will announce the third place winner tonight. She is - Yang Chaoyue!"
After Gu Wei made the announcement, there was a burst of screams in the stadium, and the fans in the audience shouted Yang Chaoyue's name.
".Thank you everyone, thank you to all the judges and teachers, fans who like me, and thank you to my boss."
Speaking of this, Yang Chaoyue glanced at Gu Wei.
"I really didn't expect that one day I would be able to stand on this stage. Compared with other 101 girls, I am actually a bit out of place. I am not very good at singing or dancing.
I really didn’t expect so many fans to like me. I feel so much pressure and your likes are so heavy.
I want to be excellent and try my best to make myself worthy of your likes, but the results are always unsatisfactory.
But I still want to say that I am not very good at it now, and I will continue to work hard in the future. Thank you all for liking me, and I hope you will continue to like me."
It can be seen that Yang Chaoyue was surprised and very happy. She cried all the time during her acceptance speech. It seems that she has to cry every time she is promoted in [Produce 101]. Fans who like her online think that the girl is sincere and sincere. It's not pretentious. If you don't like her, she just knows how to cry, and nothing else will do.
Gu Wei smiled and applauded Yang Chaoyue. This little assistant who once took care of his daily necessities has really transformed. Nearly half a year of training and 3 months of program recording have made some changes in her whole temperament.
In the future, with Gu Wei's backing, she, the "koi", will still have good luck. It's not certain how many achievements she will achieve, but becoming a popular star and establishing a firm foothold in the entertainment industry will be no problem.
After Yang Chaoyue, the second and first ranked players were Wu Xuanyi and Meng Meiqi.
At the end of the show, Rocket Girls 101 officially debuted as a group.
After everything had settled, backstage, Yang Chaoyue came to Gu Wei's lounge.
"Congratulations, Chaoyue, you finally realized your dream, and now you are a star." Before Gu Wei could finish his words, Yang Chaoyue excitedly ran over and hugged Gu Wei.
"Ugh. Boss, I'm so tired and anxious."
Gu Wei patted her back with understanding and comforted her softly:
"I know you are under a lot of pressure, but now that you are debuting in third place, all the hard work you have put in is worth it."
Yang Chaoyue buried his head on Gu Wei's shoulder and cried for a while, then slowly lifted it up, with a delicate little face full of pear blossoms.
".I know that if it weren't for the support of the company and my boss, I wouldn't be able to achieve this result at my level."
Gu Wei smiled and touched her head.
"The company has helped you a little, but there is no doubt that fans like you, so don't think that you can't do anything. Being able to be liked is your greatest strength.
Of course, although you have made your debut now, if you want to go far in the future, you have to continue to work hard and not relax."
"I will
But I’m afraid I won’t do it well.”
"As I say, just try your best and the company will handle the rest for you."
Yang Chaoyue nodded, feeling extremely relieved.
After her mood calmed down, her face slowly turned red while holding Gu Wei, and she wanted to let go but was reluctant to let go.
This is my boss, the most handsome male star in domestic entertainment, and the one that all Chinese girls want to hug. She has never hugged him after working as an assistant for more than a year.
If it weren't for the special circumstances and excitement today, she wouldn't dare to hug him.
"Okay, today is your group night, the company should have a celebration."
Yang Chaoyue relaxed his arms after hearing this.
"Boss, when I have time to visit the capital later, I will treat you to dinner."
"Okay, you've been the one eating from me for so long, I'm waiting for Chao Yue to treat you."
Gu Wei said with a smile.
