Chapter 251 It’s Your Credit
"Hey~Susu, are you free tonight?"
In the company, Zhao Jian walked to the office of the administrative department with a cup of coffee, and leaned next to Ye Susu's workstation in a posture that he thought was very handsome.
Ye Susu is the beauty of their company's administrative department, and he has been trying every possible way to pursue her recently.
Ye Susu, who was typing, took the time to glance at Zhao Jian who was standing next to her.
"I have time."
She knew what Zhao Jian was thinking and didn't dislike him at all.
Zhao Jian looks very energetic. He always comes to chat with her when he has nothing to do. He is also very positive at work, but he is a bit of a social bully. He can chat with anyone in the company and likes to brag.
Ye Susu still had some good feelings towards him.
"How about we go to the movies tonight? There's a big movie coming out soon, it's super popular!"
Zhao Jian invited enthusiastically.
"Okay, today is Friday, let's go out and relax in the evening."
Ye Susu agreed with a smile.
"That's great, let me tell you, Furious 7 is really hot right now, and there's an actor named Paul Walker in it, and it's really awful.
The car accident happened before the film was finished, so some of the later shots were electronically synthesized by asking his brother."
Hearing that the goddess agreed to his invitation, Zhao Jian began to talk about movies incessantly.
Ye Susu frowned when she heard this.
"I don't want to watch Furious 7."
"ah?"
Zhao Jian was stunned. He had already bought the tickets. There was a rumor circulating online that "after watching [The Furious 7], go to [The Furious 8]". Although he didn't think that anything would happen between him and his goddess after watching the movie, it should bring them closer.
"Gu Wei's film 'The Left Ear' is released today. Let's go see it tonight!"
Ye Susu suggested.
She is a fan of Gu Wei, and now that her idol’s new movie is released, she has to go and support it.
Originally, even if Zhao Jian hadn't invited her, she had planned to go see "Left Ear" on her own over the weekend.
"Okay, I'll book the tickets online now!"
Zhao Jian came to his senses and quickly agreed.
As long as the goddess is willing, it doesn't matter what movie you watch.
After work in the evening, Zhao Jian and Ye Susu first had a meal in Wanda Plaza. Of course, they couldn't watch a movie on an empty stomach.
Originally, Ye Susu wanted to pay the bill, but Zhao Jian had already invited her to the movies, so she wanted to treat him to a meal.
But Zhao Jian refused to give in and insisted on buying it himself. Seeing how persistent he was, Ye Susu didn't fight with him and decided to buy him a small gift later.
After dinner, the two went to the Wanda Cinema on the top floor.
Maybe because it was Friday, there were a lot of people in the cinema today. Zhao Jian first went to the front desk to get the ticket, and then bought some drinks and popcorn.
After a while, the movie they chose arrived and they followed the crowd to queue up for tickets.
After entering the theater, Zhao Jian looked around.
“There are quite a lot of people here!”
The occupancy rate of their theater is over 90%. At a glance, empty seats can only be seen in the corners.
Most of the people who come to watch the movie are young people, mostly girls, or a man and a woman like them.
"Most of these people are Gu Wei's fans, right?"
Ye Susu looked around and said with a smile:
"Maybe. I'm also a fan of Gu Wei. Maybe some people are like me~"
At the cinema's ticket office, two staff members chatted for a while while they were busy.
"Sister Xu, I see a lot of young girls here tonight. They used to come in pairs to watch movies, but today many girls came in groups."
The person who spoke was a young man in his 20s, who was responsible for making drinks and packing popcorn.
“When I looked at the ticket purchase records, most people came to see [Left Ear].
These girls are probably all fans of Gu Wei."
Sister Xu said.
She looks to be in her 30s, has a well-maintained figure, and is wearing a cinema uniform, with the charm of a mature woman.
"Gu Wei is really popular right now. I didn't see so many fans coming out to see Fan Bingbing's movie released last week."
The young man sighed.
"Nowadays, most of the people who chase idols are young girls. Although Fan Bingbing is beautiful and famous, she still lags far behind these young male stars in terms of die-hard fans."
Sister Xu explained.
When you are really immersed in the plot, time will pass very quickly and a two-hour movie will be over very quickly.
Zhao Jian and Ye Susu walked out of the theater side by side.
Ye Susu was still immersed in the plot of "Left Ear", but Zhao Jian had no feelings about the movie.
He felt that the movie was pretty average, not a bad one, but it didn't have too many surprises either.
The heroine looks very pure, Gu Wei is still as handsome as ever, Ma Sichun acted very well, but it's a pity for Yang Yang.
This was all he felt after watching it.
"Susu, it's very late now, let me take you home."
Zhao Jian spoke after leaving the cinema.
"Okay, thank you~"
Ye Susu looked up at him and agreed softly.
"Ah~ Why are you being so polite to me?"
After the movie was released, the rating of "Left Ear" on Douban was also released.
6.7 points, a relatively high score among domestic youth films.
However, at the beginning, because there were more ratings from Gu Wei's fans, it was inevitable that the rating would drop as the number of passers-by watching the movie increased.
[Fresh and sad, it begins with youthful hatred and ends with growth and forgiveness.
It's not melodramatic, and besides being simple and touching, it made me cry several times. I think it's the best youth film in the past three years. After watching it, I walked around the mall with swollen eyes and still felt a lingering sadness.
[Four stars for Gu Wei, one star for Chen Duling. Acting is nothing in a youth film. Does acting matter when you look like this?]
[Five points for Gu Wei's appearance, the rest, well...]
[3 stars for the scene restoration, 2 stars for Ma Sichun's good acting! ]
[I'm most satisfied with Gu Wei and Ma Sichun in the whole movie. Xiao Erduo's appearance and temperament are very suitable, but his acting is a bit stiff. He is really pure!]
[Better than expected, debut work, four stars for encouragement.]
[No need to pretend to be young, and the acting is still moving even if it is not fresh. There is no need for flashy and extravagant things, nor is there any need for self-harm or abortion. It is also a good youth~]
One star for Gu Wei and one for Ma Sichun, the only two actors with acting chops in the film. The whole movie is hollow, sentimental, and lacks focus. Rao Xueman's script is a mess, and Su Youpeng's direction is completely useless. The only thing I can praise is the realistic style of the painting.
【.】
Most of the reviews were positive. After all, a large number of people who were able to go to the cinema to watch the film on the first day of its release were fans of Gu Wei.
Of course, there are also some people who hate and disparage the film. After all, the quality of the movie "Left Ear" is indeed average, so it is normal for some people to criticize it if they don't like it.
The next day, Gu Wei and his team, who had already arrived in Yuezhou, received the first day's box office data.
On the first day of its release, "The Left Ear" grossed 74.65 million yuan nationwide, surpassing "The Fate of the Furious" which had been at the top for 12 consecutive days, and won the top spot in the national single-day box office.
The box office of "Furious 7" on that day was 56.47 million. After 12 days of release, the total box office officially exceeded 2 billion.
Coming out of the hotel room early in the morning, several people from the crew met.
Everyone congratulated Director Su Youpeng. "Left Ear" was a huge hit at the box office on the first day. This new director became famous overnight and firmly established his foothold in the directing industry.
"Director Su, congratulations, congratulations! A new star in our domestic directing community is rising."
Gu Wei said to Su Youpeng with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, thank you. This achievement is all thanks to you. Mr. Wang just called me and said your fans supported a large part of yesterday's first-day box office!"
Su Youpeng looked at Gu Wei and said that now he was more and more glad that he did not reject Wang Changtian's suggestion when casting. He chose Gu Wei as the male lead. It was a simple win.
"It's all thanks to the director. As the male lead, I just contributed a little bit."
Gu Wei said modestly.
The movie was a huge hit at the box office on the first day, and the crew members were even more enthusiastic when promoting it. Everyone knew how much benefit starring in a box office hit would bring to their future acting career.
Didn’t you see that later on, Ou Hao became a billionaire actor by playing supporting roles, and he was still able to fool many people when he promoted his work?
Although he has now gone from being the leading male lead to the third male lead in "Left Ear", it still does not prevent him from becoming a billion-dollar actor starting from this movie.
Anyway, since he has acted in the role, there is no difference between the third male lead and the first male lead.
The next two days lead into the weekend.
The box office of "The Left Ear" hit a new record, breaking the 100 million yuan mark on Saturday and closing at 102 million yuan.
There was a decline on Sunday, with the total box office reaching 87.98 million.
In its first three days of release, "The Left Ear" grossed 264 million yuan, surpassing "The Furious 7" in both box office and screenings, which was a relief for domestic films.
In fact, this victory is somewhat unfair. "Fast & Furious 7" has been released for more than half a month. After the box office exceeded 2 billion, it can still earn about 50 million at the box office every day. This result is very exaggerated.
[Left Ear] is just taking advantage of the fact that it has just been released.
If we look at the final total box office, "The Left Ear" can't even catch up with "Furious 7".
Su Youpeng became famous overnight. After "Little Swallow", "Fifth Prince" also successfully switched to directing and also established a firm foothold in the director circle with his debut youth film.
Compared to director Su Youpeng, the male lead Gu Wei gained even more.
Everyone in the circle knows that the movie "Left Ear" is completely supported by Gu Wei's fame. The current hot ticket sales are naturally attributed to his strong box office appeal.
No one would think that the audience went to the cinema just for the new female lead Chen Duling or the other actors.
Especially in the early days of the movie's release, when it had no reputation at all, if it weren't for Gu Wei, how many audiences would be willing to go to the cinema to watch a group of newcomers perform?
Saying this seems to somewhat negate the contributions of other actors besides Gu Wei. After all, Gu Wei cannot act in the entire movie alone.
But that's the fact. Major film companies and capital don't see young actors.
Of course, if the movie flopped, it would be because of Gu Wei’s declining box office appeal, and no one would blame other new actors.
Just like Riyadh Victory Football Club, as long as they win, it is Ronaldo who leads the team to victory, and even if he doesn't play and loses, it is Ronaldo who fails.
On Monday of the second week, the box office of "The Left Ear" dropped slightly on a weekday, earning 46.48 million in a single day, and the total box office exceeded 300 million.
Gu Wei also bid farewell to the publicity team and flew back to Hengdian to continue filming. If he didn't go back, Lu Yang would come and arrest him personally.
