Chapter 792: “Lost in Thailand” breaks million yuan at the box office

The screening rate of “Lost in Thailand” gradually dropped below 40% because the first Hollywood blockbuster was released in March.

But even so, “Lost in Thailand” still outperforms all domestic films in the same period.

On the third day of release, the daily box office grossed another 1.1 million, and the box office trend continues to advance rapidly, which is enviable.

People in the industry still remember what Ning Hao said when he led the promotion team before, that Xingchen Film and Television’s investment in this movie accounted for as much as 40%.

This also means that Xingchen Film and Television has had a good start at the beginning of this year, and based on the box office trend, it is likely to be a big hit.

There are many colleagues who are jealous, but they can only watch.

Ning Hao was so happy that he didn’t know what to say. The box office had exceeded 100 million for three consecutive days, which made him feel unbelievable.

That day, after finishing his work, Ning Hao called Gu Wei directly. At this moment, he was full of confidence.

“Director, do you think that “Lost in Thailand” can break the record of “Wolf Warrior”?”

“It’s hard to say whether it can surpass Wolf Warrior, but it’s a sure bet for a billion box office.”

In the original time and space, the total box office of “Lost in Thailand” was nearly 1.2 billion, but now judging from the cumulative box office in the first three days, it has increased a lot.

But Gu Wei couldn’t say how much more there would be in the end.

“One billion is fine, that’s a billion box office, the fifth billion box office director in the country…” Ning Hao shouted on the phone, his voice a little harsh.

It has to be said that 2015 was the most critical year for the mainland entertainment industry to enter the “golden age”.

In the original time and space, two works with box office revenue exceeding 7 billion yuan will be born in mainland China this year, namely “Fast and Furious ” and “Monster Hunt”.

In addition, there are as many as eight movies with box office revenue exceeding 1 billion, but with the existence of Gu Wei in this time and space, these movies are destined to not shine with their original brilliance.

However, the stimulus to the entire domestic entertainment industry is huge.

After the two of them finished their phone call, Gu Wei rushed to the film and television base as usual, and Ye Ning was also waiting for him, and by the way, he was also waiting for the script of “Detective Chinatown”…

…

circle.

The anti-trafficking masterpiece “Lost and Love”, starring Liu Dehua, is undergoing large-scale promotion before its release.

Since the filming of “Lost and Love” began, enthusiastic netizens have been continuously posting photos of Andy Lau’s sad migrant worker look online. King Liu’s ever-strong popularity has already attracted enough attention for the film, while his “son” Jing Boran, whom he has been searching for, rarely shows up. This difference in exposure is very curious.

As for “BJ New York” starring Lin Chi-ling and Liu Ye, it also makes people look forward to whether “cross-border love” will work.

In addition, the new film “You Are So Cute” starring Louis Koo and Miriam Yeung is adapted from real events, and just watching the trailer is quite tear-jerking.

However, no matter how powerful the announcements of these films are, they cannot compare to the news that “The Great Wall” is about to start filming, and the latter news firmly occupies the top spot on the hot search list.

Because China Film Group announced the overseas release date of The Great Wall in advance, the North American release date has been confirmed as November 2016, 11, one of the best release dates in North America, the Thanksgiving holiday, while the Chinese release date has not yet been announced…

………

Wanda Film and Television Base.

As soon as Gu Wei and Ye Ning met, Ye Ning eagerly pulled Gu Wei to study the script of “Detective Chinatown”.

According to Ye Ning, they only met once, but 30 million was invested directly. It always felt weird.

On the other side, after the morning training.

When Liu Yifei heard that Ye Ning was dragging Gu Wei to study the script, Miss Liu, who originally had no interest in the script, immediately called her assistant Lu Dan.

“Director Gu said… that it had to be kept secret.” At this moment, Ludan was devastated. After Gu Wei said it had to be kept secret yesterday, she found an excuse to get away with it.

My mistress didn’t ask much at that time, but who would have known that just one day later, she suddenly asked about it again.

And looking at the situation, he really wanted her to simulate the facial expressions of the two of them when they met and chatted. This would make it very difficult for her.

“Huh?” Liu Yifei glared.

“Ah, it’s just an ordinary script, nothing special about it!”

“Pah.” After being hit by a chestnut with a “critical hit”, Ludan felt that it was more important to save his life first.

“It’s a suspense comedy script. The guy asked for a budget of 70 to 80 million yuan. Director Gu later gave him a little extra, and the total was 100 million yuan…”

Hearing this, other people nearby slowly gathered around.

“Seventy or eighty million, one hundred million?”

“This guy has a big appetite. He really dares to speak!”

“That person also said that Wang Baoqiang had been confirmed to play the leading role, and Director Gu reserved two supporting roles for him, and the rest would be decided by the company…”

When they heard that Wang Baoqiang, Su Chang and others were involved, Zhao Liying and Tong Liya all showed interested expressions.

Although Baoqiang is not very good-looking, his status in the circle, acting skills, and box office ability make him a top-tier male star.

“Hey, where’s the leading lady? Does she have many parts?” Tong Liya moved to the two of them and asked with a smile.

“Female lead? There shouldn’t be many. Director Gu reads the script too quickly. But I found that the second male lead has a lot of scenes. Moreover, he is the male lead’s cousin. They are distant relatives…”

“Group portrait?” Su Chang and Zhao Liying said in unison.

“No.” Looking at the expectant eyes of others, Ludan waved his hands quickly and said.

When Gu Wei and Ye Ning chatted for more than half an hour and returned to the scene, they always felt that the atmosphere was weird.

Turning his head to look at the boiled egg, the other party immediately lowered his head guiltily.

And when Liu Yifei looked at Gu Wei with a smile, he suddenly felt a little “weak”!
………

As time goes by, there is constant news in the circle and all kinds of gossip flying around.

At Xingchen Film and Television Company, the casting for “Mojin: The Lost Legend” went very smoothly, and the several theater chain investors basically did not ask any questions.

They are all waiting for the final cost of the film to come out and then line up to pay!
As the assistant director and one of the supporting actors in “The Battle of Nantianmen”, Wu Jing had a rare period of free time these two days.

This is not because Wu Jing is lazy or seeking special treatment, because he accidentally sprained his ankle during training two days ago.

Due to the hidden injuries from years of filming action scenes, plus he worked too hard while filming Wolf Warrior, Wu Jing’s body was in a state of severe overdraft.

Seeing this, Gu Wei specially approved a leave for Wu Jing to rest for half a month.

But Wu Jing has a strong personality. He would not go home even when he was resting. Instead, he stayed in the hotel next to the film and television base.

At the entrance of the hotel, a luxury car drove up from a distance and slowly approached. When the car stopped, an old man and a young man got out of it.

“Is this it?” the older one looked around and asked.

“That should be right, Master. Why don’t you give Uncle Wu a call and ask?” the young man replied.

“No need, we followed the navigation, it’s definitely right. Besides, there’s a film and television base next to it, and there aren’t any large hotels around.” The middle-aged man waved his hand, and then the two of them went straight into the hotel.

As the two walked, the middle-aged man muttered, “Which room?”

“601, yes, it is 601.”

With just a few questions and answers, they arrived at the door of 601 in a short while.

“Dong dong.” There was a knock on the door.

“I’m coming.” Wu Jing, who was inside the house, was leaning on a cane and staggered for a long time before opening the door.

“Hey, Qian’er, why are you here?” “Hi, I came to see you. You said there is no filming here, how could you get injured like this just by training?” The person who came was none other than Yu Qian, who has three hobbies: smoking, drinking, and perming his hair.

“Hey, it’s my own fault. I tried to show off in front of my international friends and didn’t pay attention. Haha.” Wu Jing said as he led the two people into the house.

“Haha, no doubt about it, you really can’t be timid in front of those Hollywood stars.”

Hearing this, the young man next to him was filled with envy.

The two chatted for a while, and it was only then that Wu Jing saw the young man next to him, “This is Dalin, right? I haven’t seen him for a few years and he has changed a lot. He used to be a fat boy, but now he has lost weight and I can’t recognize him.”

“Young people gain weight quickly and lose weight quickly. Don’t just stand there. Call someone.” Yu Qian waved his hand and said.

“Uncle Wu!”

“Hey, don’t stand, sit down!”

In fact, Wu Jing and Yu Qian had known each other for a long time. At that time, Wu Jing went to Hong Kong Island alone to develop his career. Because he was unfamiliar with the place, he missed his hometown more and more. It was at this time that he heard the crosstalk of Yu Qian and Guo Pangzi, and it was the crosstalk of these two people that accompanied Wu Jing through that period of time.

Later, after returning to the mainland, the three of them met by chance, and gradually became very good friends. They also often got together for dinner in private.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while.

Wu Jing could tell that this usually laid-back and playful person in front of him was also worried about others.

As for who it is, it is none other than the young man in front of me!

“Speaking of the future, isn’t Deyun Club also heading into the film and television industry? Why is Dalin so anxious?”

Hearing this, Yu Qian smiled helplessly and shook his head: “They are just messing around over there, they are all amateurs… I want to find a director who can make a serious movie, like you. The box office of a movie can never be matched by them even if they shoot for a lifetime.”

“You only see the surface. I suffered a lot before I was successful. It was only after I met Director Gu that things gradually got better…” When Wu Jing said this, he was grateful to Gu Wei from the bottom of his heart and his tone was a little excited.

“I understand, it’s rare to meet a noble person in life.

Now everything is fine, I have a successful career, a wife and children, and I have everything I need…” Yu Qian was also deeply touched.

After rambling for a while, Yu Qian got straight to the point, “To be honest, Jing’er, Dalin is not an easy child. He is not liked by his family. I feel sad when I see him. Although he now goes on stage to perform crosstalk, I won’t hide it from you. This path is not as good as his.”

If someone else heard this, they might burst into tears, but Guo Qilin next to him was obviously used to it and had only a faint bitter smile on his face.

“Alas, every family has its own problems. I can’t get involved in other people’s family affairs. But if you really want him to follow me, I’ll tell you first, we’ll do it step by step.”

Wu Jing obviously understood the other party’s situation, and since his good friend Yu Qian had said so much, he naturally did not refuse.

Wu Jingshen was deeply touched by the time he spent in Hong Kong Island. He knew very well that there was no one to lead the way in this circle and he could hardly see any hope.

Hearing the other party say this, Yu Qian knew that the matter was settled, and immediately said: “Of course, you want him to play the leading role now, I don’t want it. It’s not a good thing for young people to suddenly get a high position without suffering a little.”

Then, Yu Qian said in a joking tone: “Just treat him as your own son. Beat him when necessary and scold him when necessary. As long as he can learn something, that’s fine.”

“Go to hell. If I bring such a grown-up son home, Xie Nan will definitely fight with me. Haha.” Wu Jing joked.

“Hahaha.” For a moment, the room was filled with laughter.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Guo Qilin ran over to open the door. When he saw it was a young girl, he was obviously stunned, and the other party’s reaction was similar.

“Director Wu, are you there?” the little girl asked crisply, looking into the room as she spoke.

“Xiao Li, I’m here. What’s up?”

Wu Jing’s voice came from the room, making the assistant feel relieved.

“Director Wu, lunch today may be late. The morning training ended late, and Director Gu is training everyone on the script lines right now.” Assistant Xiao Li reported the situation quickly, mainly because the young man next to him kept staring at him, creating an awkward atmosphere.

“Jing’er, why don’t you just be busy first, I’ll come see you in a couple of days.”

Hearing this, Wu Jing waved his hand first, then turned his eyes and asked at the door: “The director is here, so are they still having lunch at the base?”

“I think he’s not at the base. The afternoon schedule is to have a script reading at the hotel.”

“Okay, let’s do this for now. I’ll go downstairs to eat when the director comes.”

“Okay, Director Wu.” The assistant replied hurriedly, and glanced at Guo Qilin next to him before leaving.

After Guo Qilin closed the door, Yu Qian glanced at Wu Jing, asking what was going on.
“I caught up with you today. Come with me to meet the director later. Dalin will also come with you so we can get to know each other.”

“Oh, that’s not appropriate. I came here in a hurry today and didn’t bring anything!”

“No need. The director is a very sincere person. If he likes you, anything is fine with you. If he doesn’t like you, no matter what you bring, it’s useless.” Wu Jing said with a smile.

Yu Qian gave a thumbs up and praised: “Men in the north all have this character.

Although I am not in the entertainment industry, I have heard of Director Gu for a long time. I saw on the news these days that this director had an unhappy relationship with some people in the upper echelons. “

When Wu Jing heard this, he felt deeply moved. It was more than just an unpleasant quarrel. Gu Wei almost scolded them publicly.

“These are all minor matters. With Director Gu’s current status, no one can do anything about it.”

“That’s right, he’s a world-famous director, and everyone in our country would praise him when they mention him.”

In the room, Wu Jing gave Guo Qilin a few more words of advice, asking him to be more considerate later. Yu Qian next to him was also checking for any shortcomings. For both of them, this was a rare opportunity.

…

Another half an hour passed. Wu Jing looked at the time, leaned on a crutch with one hand, supported Guo Qilin with the other hand, and followed by Yu Qian. The three of them staggered downstairs.

“Hey, here comes Wu Dabenshi.”

As soon as he saw Wu Jing, Gu Wei made a direct joke.

Gu Wei felt both angry and amused about Wu Jing getting injured, so he simply gave him a nickname.

There are two people in the crew, Wu Dabenshi and Li Dabenshi, who are a perfect match.

Liu Yifei, who was standing next to him, rolled her eyes at Gu Wei when she heard what he said, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

“Director, let me introduce you. This is my good friend Yu Qian, a crosstalk performer. He is also from Deyun Club. His name is Guo Qilin.”

It wasn’t until Wu Jing spoke that Gu Wei noticed the two of them.

Well, Gu Wei doesn’t like listening to crosstalk, but he knows Yu Qian because the latter is also an actor and has acted in many TV dramas.

In terms of crosstalk, he doesn’t know who is better between Yu Qian and Guo Degang; but in the profession of actor, Yu Qian’s acting skills must be far better than Guo Degang.

“Hello, Director Gu!”

“Hello, Director Gu!”

The two people greeted each other in unison, which immediately attracted the attention of Huang Xiaoming, Zhao Wenzhuo and others nearby.

“Hey, Teacher Yu, hello, hello!” Gu Wei also replied with a smile.

“Director Gu, I don’t dare to call you teacher. Just call me Yu Qian.”

After the meal, although no alcohol was consumed, Gu Wei understood the underlying meaning of Wu Jing’s words.

It was simply that Guo Qilin wanted to enter the entertainment industry, so he found him through Yu Qian. Wu Jing also thought that the young man was good, so he took him to meet Gu Wei.

When they met for the first time, Gu Wei’s impression of this person was much better than that of the man named Guo, so they could be considered to have known each other.

As for Guo Qilin, Wu Jing wanted him to stay by his side and do odd jobs first, and Gu Wei did not ask much about the subsequent arrangements.
