Chapter 449 I Will Be Yours From Now On
The November schedule is a bit awkward. The afterglow of the National Day schedule has long dissipated, and the Lunar New Year schedule is still more than a month away. Domestic audiences' enthusiasm for watching movies during this period is not too high.
Usually at this time, China Film Group will arrange for some Hollywood blockbusters to be released, which will make money without affecting the performance of domestic films.
On the 4th of this month, the Marvel Cinematic Universe series' "Doctor Strange" was released, and it earned 84.5 million at the box office on the first day of its release, and then earned 120 million and 94.62 million at the box office on Saturday and Sunday respectively.
The box office of 300 million in the first week seems good, but it can only be said to be an average result in the Marvel series of movies. Compared with "Avengers 2" released last year, it is far behind in terms of popularity and box office.
On Monday of the second week, the box office of "Doctor Strange" dropped sharply, with the single-day box office only 33.78 million.
On Tuesday, Gal Gadot's new film "Austin Powers Next Door" was released. Unfortunately, at this time, Gadot is not yet the heroic and world-renowned "Wonder Woman", and she is even less well-known in China.
The box office of "Austin Powers Next Door" was only 3.35 million on the first day of its release, and two days later it dropped to less than 1 million, and it was a complete flop.
The celebration party for "Operation Mekong" breaking 2 billion has ended. Yu Dong of Bona Film Group invited police, armed police and firefighters to watch the movie for free that night, which became a small trending topic. Netizens praised this matter, but it is a pity that the box office support for "Operation Mekong" is ultimately limited.
The movie has been released for more than 40 days now, and the daily box office is only about one or two million. It is estimated that by the end of November, the total box office will have a hard time breaking 2.1 billion.
In the morning, Gu Wei came out of Reba's house because he was about to go out to film. Reba seemed to be very attached to him in the last one or two days. He hugged and kissed him early in the morning before leaving.
It was already 10 o'clock in the morning when I got to the company by car.
Gu Wei is the boss and does not need to punch in for work like his employees, so unless there is something special, he will arrange his working hours according to his own wishes.
After entering the company and heading towards his office, he saw Gu Wei's employees greeting him along the way.
"Oda?"
Turning a corner, I saw Tian Xiwei, wearing a beige sweater and bangs, coming out of an office.
"Brother Wei~
No, now you should call me boss!"
Tian Xiwei was also very surprised to see Gu Wei, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.
After the filming of [You Are My Glory] was wrapped, Gu Wei led the crew back to Beijing, while Tian Xiwei returned to Shanghai first.
She is only a freshman now, and after filming for more than two months, she always has to go back to school to show up.
She stayed in Shanghai for a few days to take care of some school matters, and communicated with her family about her signing with "Weiming Tianxia" to gain her family's support. Only then did she fly to the company headquarters in Beijing to officially sign the contract.
"Has the contract been signed?"
"Yeah~ I've signed everything. From now on, I belong to you, boss. You must be responsible for me."
Tian Xiwei looked at Gu Wei with her big, sparkling eyes. After signing the agency contract, she was particularly happy.
"What do you mean by my people? I knew you were a contracted artist of the company, but I didn't know you were selling yourself to me."
Gu Wei said somewhat helplessly. He noticed that all the employees around him were looking over here. He gestured to Tian Xiwei and took her into his office.
"Sit~
What would you like to drink, coffee or tea?"
After entering the house, Gu Wei asked.
"Just water will do~"
Tian Xiwei sat on the sofa in the reception room and looked around Gu Wei's office somewhat nervously.
The room is very large and not a cramped little room. The walls and floors are made of elegant marble. Several abstract oil paintings are hung on the white walls, giving the office a more artistic feel.
The furniture in the office, whether it is the desk, sofa or coffee table, all look like carefully selected high-end goods. There is a black metal bookshelf on the side wall, which is filled with various books.
Overall, the office's style is simple yet upscale, comfortable yet practical.
"Here~"
Gu Wei poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Tian Xiwei.
"Thanks!"
"After signing the contract, did your agent tell you about the company's plans for you?"
Gu Wei stood diagonally opposite her, leaning against the desk, also holding a glass of water.
"Yes, Manager Yang explained it to me in detail.
After I signed the contract with the company, I registered it under her name first.
Because I am still relatively young and have just started college, she told me to focus on my studies in the first two years and lay a solid foundation for my acting skills.
Of course, the company will also find me some supporting roles in some dramas to hone my acting skills while also showing off my face to the audience. When I’m in my junior or senior year, they’ll find opportunities for me to play the second or even the first female lead in dramas.”
Gu Wei took a sip of water and nodded slowly.
The arrangement for Tian Xiwei is basically the normal training process for the company to sign a young and unknown artist like her.
"By the way, Manager Yang also arranged an assistant for me to help me with some things when I go out to film."
Tian Xiwei said with some excitement.
Two months ago, she was a complete amateur, but now she has an assistant. It seems that becoming a big star in the future is not a dream.
Today, Tian Xiwei is full of beautiful visions for the future.
In the office, Xiaotian chatted with Gu Wei for a while and then left on his own accord. Gu Wei also started his work for the day.
There are not many things in the company that require his attention, but not too few either. After looking at the future publicity and promotion plan for "Love Saint" submitted by the employees below, he felt it was pretty good and added some suggestions of his own.
This romantic comedy directed by Wen Muye and starring Xiao Yang has been scheduled to be released on December 30th, during the Lunar New Year and New Year's Day holidays. There is still a month and a half left before the release, and publicity has already begun to slowly gain momentum.
As the release date approaches, the publicity and promotion efforts will gradually increase.
After handling some [Wei Ming Tian Xia] affairs in the office, Gu Wei took the time to go downstairs to [Wuyou Media].
Compared to his last visit, [Wuyou Media] has made considerable progress. There are more and more people in each department, and the number of anchors under its name has nearly doubled.
This time, Gu Wei went there mainly to inquire about the situation of the company's anchors entering [Tik Tok].
Gu Wei did not tell Zhang Yiming about the fact that he had an MCN company under his name. He felt there was no need to do so.
With his foresight and first-mover advantage, he can still occupy a place in this track even without official care.
In the afternoon, Gu Wei left the company and went to the studio arranged by Coca-Cola to shoot advertising materials.
He officially signed an endorsement contract with Coca-Cola a few days ago, becoming the new global spokesperson for Coca-Cola for $15 million over two years.
Once the filming of the advertising materials is completed in the next two days, the news will be officially announced, and then various online and offline promotional materials will be sent out quickly.
With Coca-Cola's resources, it will definitely make the most of Gu Wei's traffic.
Of course, this is actually a win-win situation.
After all, Coca-Cola itself is very well-known worldwide. By being their spokesperson, Gu Wei can also use the fame of Coca-Cola to increase his own influence worldwide.
In the studio, the president of Coca-Cola Greater China personally welcomed Gu Wei. Coca-Cola also attached great importance to choosing Gu Wei as its global spokesperson.
They hope to rely on Gu Wei's influence to help Coca-Cola achieve a real breakthrough in performance in Greater China.
"Gu~
It’s a pleasure to meet you. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation and you will be the best friend of Coca-Cola! "
The president of Coca-Cola Greater China is a middle-aged white man. When he saw Gu Wei, he smiled and was very enthusiastic.
"Hello, President Luke. It's a pleasure to meet you. I also hope to have a pleasant cooperation experience with your company in the next two years."
Gu Wei greeted President Ji Luke with a smile. After shaking hands and chatting for a while, Gu Wei entered the venue and started filming.
In addition to Coca-Cola, Gu Wei also has to arrange time to shoot an advertisement in collaboration with Porsche these days.
Among the three car companies, he finally chose Porsche.
The endorsement fee of 10 million US dollars for 2 years is slightly less than that of Coca-Cola, but it is still much higher than the endorsement fees of other domestic brands.
A few days later.
At 7 p.m., Coca-Cola’s official Weibo.
#He is a highly-anticipated youth trendsetter, a super-popular idol, and the box office king. He has achieved various record-breaking moments with his most diligent efforts.
He is a steady actor on the big screen. He respects every role, keeps a low profile, and uses his most authentic self to prove his acting skills.
For such a person, Gu Wei, who combines honor, talent and cultivation, is exactly the high-quality young man that Coca-Cola wants to accompany it all the way.
Today, Coca-Cola proudly announced that David Gu has officially become the spokesperson for Coca-Cola. #
At the same time, almost at the same time, the same text was posted on Porsche’s official Weibo, announcing that Gu Wei became Porsche’s new global spokesperson.
The news that Gu Wei signed contracts with two major international brands as global spokesperson quickly spread online.
Netizens marveled at Gu Wei's extremely high commercial value, and the media speculated how much Gu Wei would be paid for endorsing these two products.
Gu Wei's own fans were celebrating, and they celebrated on Weibo and in Gu Wei's forum, congratulating their idol for getting two top endorsement titles.
[Hahaha, Gu Wei is Gu Wei. Right off the bat, he's endorsed two heavyweights, Coca-Cola and Porsche. Just wondering if there's any other celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry who has his weight!]
I don't know what Pepsi was thinking. We've been working together for two years, but now they haven't renewed the contract with Gu Wei. But Coca-Cola is pretty good too!
I can't help Porsche much anymore. When I saw the news that Gu Wei was endorsing Coca-Cola, I immediately went out and bought a case. I declared that from now on, I will only drink Coca-Cola!
[Did you notice that the two endorsement deals Gu Wei signed this time are global endorsements, not Greater China endorsements? It turns out these major international brands really do know the power of Gu Wei!]
I'm not sure about Europe and the US, but Gu Wei is very popular in Asia. Several of his TV series, including "My Sunshine," "Love O2O," and "Nirvana in Fire," have sold their copyrights overseas. They're very popular in Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, including Thailand!
[Trivia: The most-watched Chinese TV series on YouTube right now is "Love O2O," with 413 million views to date, over 100 million more than the second-place "Empresses in the Palace"!]
I heard from my classmates in the United States that after "Nirvana in Fire" was introduced to the famous American subtitle group Viki, it triggered a viewing boom. Its major historical plot of redressing unjust cases, supporting wise rulers, and creating a prosperous era, interspersed with national hatred and family feuds, American fans praised the drama as the Chinese version of "The Count of Monte Cristo".
Even the show's title was changed from its initial obscurity to the majestic Nirvana in Fire, meaning rebirth from the ashes, nirvana!
[Oh my god, my idol is so famous worldwide! No wonder these big international brands gave her the title of global spokesperson!]
