Chapter 404 I have 100% confidence
The next day, the roadshow continued.
Wherever the group went, there were still crowds of people, and there were many more media friends present than before.
Just as Gu Wei said, when going through the process on site, the reporters couldn't help but mention what happened yesterday.
When Liu Yifei was asked, she smiled and showed no sign of abnormality. She just followed the security guard's instructions and advised fans not to do similar things in the future, as it was very dangerous.
"Excuse me, Liu Yifei, after dodging the oncoming fans, how did you feel about Mr. Gu Wei helping you?"
A reporter then asked.
Liu Yifei took the microphone, turned to look at Gu Wei beside her, and said with a smile:
"I'm very grateful to Gu Wei. Without his help, I might have fallen straight to the ground. Not to mention my image, it would have been troublesome if I had suffered a concussion."
After he finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter.
"Of course, Gu Wei and I have been friends for many years, so there's no need to be overly polite. After all, I've always known that he's a very reliable man at critical moments."
“That’s absolutely true~”
Gu Wei took over the conversation and added that he felt Liu Yifei knew how to use topics to hype things up.
As they spoke, the two of them looked at each other with a smile, and this scene was captured by the cameras of the media below the stage.
The reporter looked at the photo in the camera and saw that the two people's eyes seemed full of affection, and nodded with satisfaction.
'There's more news for tomorrow.'
On the stage, Nazha tilted her head to look at Gu Wei and Liu Yifei, forcing a smile on her face.
The news of Liu Yifei being attacked stayed on the hot searches for another two days after Gu Wei instructed the company to buy trending searches and hire internet trolls. Even though netizens' attention was quickly diverted to other things, the incident itself brought considerable exposure to the movie "Detective Chinatown 2", which was a pleasant surprise for the publicity.
The roadshow of [Detective Chinatown 2] continued, and time quickly came to July 21st, when the movie [Skiptrace] starring Jackie Chan and Fan Bingbing was officially released nationwide.
At the premiere ceremony two days ago, a reporter asked Cheng Long what he thought about the recent rumors of a competition between him, Li Lianjie and Gu Wei?
Cheng Long thought about it and replied with a smile:
"Li Lianjie and I are old friends, and it's quite a coincidence that we have a movie released together. I hope our works will be liked by the audience.
As for Gu Wei, I know him. He's a very popular young man in China in the past two years. I've seen his movies and hope to have the opportunity to work with him in the future."
Cheng Long's words were flawless and there was absolutely nothing wrong with them.
Before the release of Skip Hunter, other movies still showing in the market include Cold War 2, Lu Yao Zhi Mali, the animated film Big Fish and Begonia, Doraemon: Nobita and the Birth of Japan, etc.
However, except for "Cold War 2" which still received some box office revenue, the performance of other movies was very poor.
On the first day of its release, [Skiptrace] took up 38% of the screenings and won 66% of the national single-day box office. The box office on the first day barely exceeded 100 million yuan, reaching 102 million yuan.
In the following three days, the box office revenue reached 89.98 million, 111 million and 103 million respectively. The box office in the first week exceeded 400 million, making it the first hit movie of this summer season.
To be honest, this year's summer season is a bit cold compared to last year. Although the scale of the domestic film market is definitely larger year by year in terms of hardware, there have been no blockbuster movies released this summer, so the overall performance of the summer season seems to be poor.
Last year, at the same time, "Monster Hunt" and "The Pancake Man" were the two horses that ignited the summer box office. Later, the dark horse movie "Charlotte's Troubles" emerged. All three films had box office revenues of over 1 billion yuan, and "Monster Hunt" even exceeded 2 billion yuan.
There was also a highly anticipated animation film "Big Fish and Begonia" this year. People in the industry were optimistic that it would replicate the glory of last year's "The Monkey King: Hero is Back". Unfortunately, this well-made animation film only earned 500 million yuan at the box office, and its popularity and final results were far behind "The Monkey King: Hero is Back".
Now we have finally seen the release of Jackie Chan's "Skiptrace". Judging from the performance of over 400 million in the first week, it is very likely that the final box office will exceed 1 billion, making it the first big hit movie of this summer.
At this time, Gu Wei and his group, who had traveled to more than ten cities across the country, also returned to the capital.
"Everyone has worked hard these past few days. Go back and have a good rest. After the movie premiere is over in two days, Detective Chinatown 2 will officially be released. We still have to continue promoting it for about two weeks."
After the plane landed, Gu Wei separated from Wang Baoqiang, Xiao Yang, and Wang Xun at the airport.
"Sister Yifei, do you want to take my nanny car back? I can take you home first."
Liu Yifei was wearing a baseball cap and big black sunglasses, and was looking at Gu Wei with a smile on her face.
“No, my car is outside.
But Gu Wei, I don't think you're worried about the performance of Detective Chinatown 2 at all. I saw on the news that Jackie Chan's Skipjack performed quite well in its first week~"
Gu Wei chuckled.
"[Skiptrace] only made 400 million in its first week. If it had made 1 billion in its first week, I would have given it a higher regard.
I have 100% confidence in our film. I have prepared so much in the early stages. If I still care about "Skiptrace", I will not be able to work in the film industry anymore."
"Haha, I just like your confident state. You usually never say anything too much. You are obviously not very old, but you always act like an old man."
Liu Yifei patted Gu Wei's arm and said with a smile.
"I am mature at heart, mature beyond my years, not some old man."
Gu Wei touched his nose and retorted.
"Okay, mature boy, I'm leaving now. See you at the premiere in two days."
After saying goodbye to Liu Yifei, Gu Wei took Nazha into the nanny car.
"I feel like Sister Yifei has been getting closer to you lately."
In the car, Gu Wei was browsing the news on his phone with his head down when Nazha, who was sitting next to him, suddenly spoke.
"Really? I don't feel anything. I don't think she's any different from before."
Gu Wei replied without even looking up.
"It seems like after that incident where the fans rushed out to pounce on her that day, she seemed to be chatting with you more casually."
Hearing this, Gu Wei put down his phone, turned to look at Nazha beside him, and rubbed her fair little face with his hand.
"Little Nazha has always been clumsy, why is she observing so carefully this time?
Are you jealous?"
Nazha curled her lips, hugged Gu Wei's arm and pressed her body against him.
"Who is stupid? After all, she is a girl and is usually very delicate and sensitive, okay?
I'm sure my observations are correct.
Besides, what's wrong with being jealous? Sister Yifei is so beautiful, I'm just jealous!"
After saying that, his little face puffed up like a little toad inhaling air.
Gu Wei amusedly stretched out his finger and gently poked her fair face, just like popping a balloon.
There was also a "puff" sound coming from Nazha's mouth.
Gu Wei burst into laughter when he heard this.
“Hate it~
Just teasing me."
Nazha reached out and patted Gu Wei lightly, but she was still reluctant to let go of his arm.
"I find you very interesting. Whenever I have other scandals, you don't care, but once it involves Liu Yifei, you get very nervous."
"That, that's not it."
Nazha talked for a long time without saying anything.
In fact, she knew that Liu Yifei was the white moonlight in the hearts of Gu Wei and his generation, and she was so beautiful. If something really happened between the two of them, and Gu Wei changed his mind for Liu Yifei, she would be finished.
But she couldn't say these words to Gu Wei.
"Okay, no matter why, you know that Sister Yifei and I are just good friends."
As he said that, Gu Wei pulled his arm out of Nazha's arms, then hugged her in his arms and whispered something in her ear.
"Hmph~ You only know how to do these things and tease me."
