Chapter 396: Finale
Beijing Huairou Film and Television Base.
After Gu Wei came back, he plunged into the intense filming.
Of course, when he just came back, he was congratulated by Wu Jing, Qian Ge and others. After all, winning the Best Actor award means that Gu Wei has been recognized by industry insiders and the general audience for his TV acting skills.
It is a great honor in his acting career.
Even that night, Wu Jing specially arranged a banquet at a hotel near the film and television base to celebrate Gu Wei winning the Magnolia Award for Best Actor.
Gu Wei accepted his kindness and relaxed with everyone for the night.
But he didn't drink too much, and Wu Jing knew the importance of it. No matter what, filming was the most important thing.
After eating and drinking, everyone went back to rest.
Gu Wei returned to his room, changed his clothes, and was about to take a shower when he heard the doorbell ring. He knew without a doubt that Zhang Tianai had arrived.
Sure enough, after opening the door, Xiao Ai was standing at the door wearing pink pajamas, smiling and holding a white thermos cup.
There was no need for much conversation between the two of them. Zhang Tianai walked in naturally and put the thermos in his hand on the coffee table in the living room.
"I just finished drinking with the director and the others. I made you a cup of tea."
Gu Wei had just arrived at the room and had not had time to boil water, and he was a little thirsty.
He sat down and unscrewed the lid of his thermos.
I saw steam slowly coming out of the 600ml cup, and a layer of red wolfberries floating on the rim of the cup.
Gu Wei was a little amused and helpless.
"Why did you think of adding wolfberries to tea?"
“It’s too late and I’m afraid you won’t sleep well, so I only put a little tea leaves.
Didn’t Mr. Yu Qian always say on the set that men drink this for health? I bought some, and it’s perfect for you to drink.”
Zhang Tianai sat next to Gu Wei, with her hair tied up. Her beautiful little face was delicate and fair, and her big eyes blinked at him.
“Uh~ Brother Qian has something to say, but this drink is for middle-aged men. Its main effect is to nourish the kidneys.
You know this, I don’t need it.”
Gu Wei picked up the thermos cup, blew on it, and slowly took a sip.
"Is that so?"
Thinking about how he had always begged for mercy halfway through the relationship since they were friends, Zhang Tianai felt that it would be better not to let Gu Wei drink this in the future.
The two sat on the sofa and chatted for a while. Gu Wei drank a few sips of water and then asked.
"I'm going to take a shower, do you want to come with me?"
“This is not good~”
Zhang Tianai was a little hesitant.
Gu Wei smiled and walked towards the bathroom without saying anything.
Zhang Tianai was sitting on the sofa. When he heard the sound of the shower in the bathroom, Gu Wei's perfect figure involuntarily appeared in his mind. He swallowed his saliva, picked up the water cup in front of him and took a sip.
"This wolfberry water is sweet and delicious~
I have to take a shower soon anyway, so it’s nice to do it together.”
After finding an excuse for herself, she stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
The two of them took a long bath.
But it’s not surprising. After all, we are all clean people, so it’s normal for us to wash more carefully and deeply.
When Zhang Tianai came out of the bathroom after drying his body and putting on his bathrobe, his face was already flushed, his body was limp, and he had no strength left. He could only walk out with the help of Gu Wei.
When she was all packed up and lying on the bed, she felt that she could not bear anything more tonight.
The subsequent filming at the Huairou Film and Television Base was tight but smooth. Nearly half a month later, all the scenes in which Gu Wei, playing "Lin Wei", fought against the villains in the hospital to rescue Zhang Tianai and "Dr. Chen" were filmed.
As a result, some scenes in the movie that did not have outdoor locations were also completed, and the remaining few shots needed to be shot in Africa.
Yu Qian finished filming his scenes and left the crew. Wu Jing specially arranged a wrap-up party for this good brother who came to guest star as a friend. Gu Wei also made an appointment with Brother Qian to visit his horse farm in the suburbs when he was not busy.
"Brother Jing, are you sure you don't want to come with me?"
In the crew, Wu Jing was directing the staff to pack up, and Gu Wei walked up to him and asked.
“No thanks, bro.
I know it would be more comfortable to take your private jet, but with so many people on the crew, everyone still has to take a passenger plane. As a director, I really can't be at ease if I don't accompany you the whole time."
We are about to fly to Africa to film, which is a challenge for everyone.
Gu Wei has made movies abroad before, and he is well aware of the inconveniences of filming abroad.
The most basic point is that you have to ensure the personal safety of all people traveling abroad.
This is not the case in China, where everyone is in an unfamiliar environment where they cannot speak the language. Moreover, the overall environment in Africa is turbulent and wars are frequent. Safety issues are the basis for the crew to be able to shoot smoothly.
Wu Jing chose South Africa as the filming location for [Wolf Warrior 2] in Africa. South Africa is located at the southernmost tip of the entire African continent. It is the second largest economy in Africa and a middle-income developing country. It is also the most economically developed and industrialized country in Africa.
The slums, African grasslands and other places in the movie will be filmed in different places in South Africa.
Time gradually came to July.
The movie "The Bounty Hunter" starring Tang Yan was officially released on the 1st.
Although it has two male idols, the long-legged Oppa Lee Min Ho and Zhong Hanliang, and the female lead, the beautiful and domineering Tang Yan, has been very popular since the broadcast of "Nirvana in Fire", the box office of the movie is still not ideal.
The film earned 42.16 million yuan on the first day on Friday, but the box office actually dropped in the following two days of the weekend, and only earned more than 30 million yuan.
The box office in its first week was 117 million yuan.
If we look at it from the perspective of a small-investment movie, this is already a good result, but unfortunately, the investment in "The Bounty Hunter" is as high as 200 million. If we look at the current trend, it is certain to lose money.
After the first three days, the movie’s reputation was not good, with a Douban score of only 5.1, and online public opinion was not friendly to the movie either.
The most common comment given by most viewers who have watched the movie is that the plot logic is too poor, forced, and awkward to watch.
Moreover, the female lead Tang Yan's acting skills are too poor, which has been criticized by the audience.
Sure enough, in the second week, the box office of "The Bounty Hunter" continued to decline, from more than 20 million on Monday to less than 5 million on Friday. According to the trend, the total box office of more than 200 million is already the limit.
"Sister Tangtang, you don't have to be too sad. It's not your fault if the movie doesn't do well at the box office.
You are just an actor. If the story of the script is not exciting and the director does not shoot it well, the audience will naturally not buy it.
I will be returning to China in a few days, and my movie will be released at the end of this month.
I'll come find you when I get back and have time."
During a break in filming in Africa, Gu Wei received a call from Tang Yan and offered her some words of comfort.
He looked at the time and it was now 2pm. According to the 6-hour time difference between South Africa and Beijing, it should be 8pm in China. He guessed that Tang Yan called him because she was alone at home and in a bad mood.
