Chapter 640 Final Box Office
On the sidewalk beside the road, Gu Wei took Jing Tian, who was dressed in black, to the police station and explained to her what they were going to do this time.
“We humans have something called household registration, which everyone has, but you don’t, so we call people like you black households.
Remember, you are now an over-birth household in the mountains, so you have not yet applied for a household registration or ID card.
Then you met me, so you thought.”
"What am I thinking?"
"You want to get along well with me, and you want to live a normal life.
If you want to have a serious relationship with me, you need to register and get an ID card.
OK?
"Who gave you the nerve to say such things to me?"
"Cut!" The director's voice came before the scene was finished.
"Tiantian, you are Si Teng, you want to be a queen, you want to be that arrogant princess. Qin Fang brought you to get an ID card, but you were careless and impatient."
Li Muge came over and explained to Jingtian.
"Just now you seemed to be acting like a spoiled child with your boyfriend. At this stage, Si Teng and Qin Fang's relationship has not reached that level. Moreover, with Si Teng's personality, even if she has feelings for Qin Fang, she would not express it in this way.
I clearly felt the same way before, but why is it not right today?"
"Sorry, director, I'll adjust it." Jing Tian said apologetically. Seeing Gu Wei's smiling face, he glared at him.
Da Tiantian also realized that there was something wrong with her performance, and tried to adjust her state. She filmed it twice more, and the scene passed normally.
"It's all your fault." After the break, Jing Tian complained quietly to Gu Wei.
"That's weird, why do you blame me for your poor performance?"
"Hehe~ I don't care. It's all your fault. It's all your fault that I performed poorly. I even got scolded by the director today." Da Tiantian pouted with a sweet and innocent tone.
"Well, honorable Miss Si Teng, what do you need me to do to make amends?"
After listening to Gu Wei's words, Jingtian tilted his head and thought for a while, then stretched his arms.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, he leaned over to Gu Wei and whispered, "My body feels a little sore. I'll punish you by making you give me a massage when you get home tonight."
"No problem, these are all small things." Gu Wei said and looked at Da Tiantian.
"So, will you pick out a cheongsam from the crew to wear tonight?"
"Ah~ You're just thinking about bad things. I'm not going to pay attention to you anymore." Da Tiantian patted Gu Wei's arm a little embarrassedly and turned her head away.
But I'm already thinking about which one to wear.
"Wear the pearly white one. It's the most fitted and shows off your figure."
The quarrels between Gu Wei and Jing Tian seemed very normal to the crew. They had always had a good relationship, and now they were just a little closer.
Zhu Xudan watched from afar with an envious expression on his face.
She also wanted to find an opportunity to build a relationship with Gu Wei, but there were no good opportunities. Moreover, she always felt that Gu Wei was the boss and she felt pressured to be around him.
On April 16, two months after its release, "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" finally grossed 4.813 billion yuan, becoming the second in domestic film history, second only to "Wolf Warrior 2".
"Operation Red Sea", which was released at the same time, finally achieved a box office of 3.652 billion yuan, surpassing "The Mermaid" and ranking fourth in the box office rankings, only more than 300 million yuan away from the third place "Detective Chinatown 2".
"We'll arrange a celebration party for Nezha next week, invite more media to attend, and promote the company's next animated film, Yang Jian.
I will go back and participate then.”
In the hotel room, Gu Wei sat at the table with his work laptop in front of him, talking to Yang Liwen who was far away in Beijing.
The final box office of [Nezha] did not exceed that of the original film, which made Gu Wei a little disappointed. This was also the first film that had a poor performance after his hand since his rebirth.
But it makes sense when you think about it.
The original "Nezha" was released in the summer of 2019, one year later than now, at the end of July, the same as "Wolf Warrior 2".
Although the original version did not have an advantage over Gu Wei's version in terms of early publicity, the advantage of the release date was too great. It did not have to compete with other excellent movies during the Spring Festival. Just like "Wolf Warrior 2" in 2017, it relied on its super high reputation to almost eat up all the traffic of the 2019 summer season, and the final box office exceeded 5 billion.
Gu Wei relied on his fame and connections to try his best to promote Nezha, and the final result of 4.8 billion was already very good.
Last year's "Wolf Warrior 2" had almost no major changes in the story and release date. The addition of Gu Wei was the icing on the cake, so the box office eventually exceeded the original version and broke 6 billion.
[Nezha] is an animated film after all, and without his participation, Gu Wei's role would be limited.
But it was already pretty good, and the final box office was not much different. It can be said that he gained both fame and fortune, and Gu Wei was not dissatisfied at all.
After chatting for a few more words, Gu Wei hung up the phone and concentrated on typing on the laptop screen.
"What to write?"
After a while, Jing Tian came out of the bathroom wearing a light yellow tight pajamas and drying her hair.
It looks like he just took a shower.
She walked to Gu Wei and sat on his lap very naturally, looking at the computer screen curiously.
"I just heard you on the phone. Do you want to take a day off next week?"
Gu Wei put his arm around Jing Tiantian's slender waist, buried his head in Jing Tian's fair neck, and took a deep breath.
"It smells so good." I couldn't help but kiss her again.
"Itchy."
"Tiantian, your name is really right, it's fragrant and sweet."
"You're so annoying, you always tease me."
The two of them were intimate for a while, and Jingtian looked at the laptop screen on the table and asked curiously.
“Are you writing a song?”
"Yes, CCTV invited me to participate in the recording of the May Fourth Youth Gala next month. I just had some inspiration to write a new song and sing it on stage."
"So awesome." Jing Tian turned his head slightly and looked at Gu Wei with a little admiration in his eyes.
"It's a pity that I can't be there, but I will watch your performance on TV."
Gu Wei's hand around Jing Tian's slender waist slid gently, and the touch was very soft.
"The evening party is recorded, not live, I might be back on Youth Day"
"Were you calling about the party just now?"
“No, Nezha has been released, and the company has arranged a celebration party next week.
While celebrating the success of the main creators, we will also promote the next animated film that is currently in production."
"[Nezha], it's ridiculous that an animated film can get 4.8 billion at the box office.
But to be honest, it’s really well shot,” Jing Tian sighed and turned to ask curiously.
"What's the name of the new animated film? Is it still about characters from ancient myths and legends?"
Gu Wei nodded.
"Yes, the protagonist of the new movie is Yang Jian."
"Yang Jian? He looks even more handsome than Nezha. What's the story behind this?
Splitting the mountain to save his mother? Carrying the mountain to catch up with the sun? "
Gu Wei shook his head.
"I'll keep the content secret. Like Nezha, it's based on traditional mythology, but it will have its own story.
But what is certain is that Nezha will also have a brief appearance in [Yang Jian]."
“I’m really looking forward to it. I really want to see it soon.”
"Don't be impatient, slow work produces fine results. The production cycle of Nezha lasted for three years, and Yang Jian will not be much shorter either.
With our previous experience, both the special effects and the plot this time will be even more perfect than Nezha!" Gu Wei was full of confidence.
He has always wanted to create an animated film version of the "Myth Universe" and has invested a lot in it.
Although Wei Ming Tian Xia does not have the exclusive copyright to these mythological characters, other people and companies can also produce them. However, after Nezha became popular, the remaining characters will be based on Nezha.
For example, in the new movie "Yang Jian", Nezha from "Ne Zha" will make a cameo appearance. Even if they are only in the role for a few minutes, the audience will know that they are living within a framework.
Classic characters in "Nezha" including the Third Prince "Ao Bing", "Taiyi Zhenren", and "Shen Gongbao" all have the opportunity to show their faces, even if it's just one or two shots.
Although [Wei Ming Tian Xia] does not have the copyright to the mythological characters, it has the copyright to these characters in [Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World].
It is easy for the audience to distinguish the "Myth Universe" series produced by Weiming Tianxia from the works of other companies.
“Mission accomplished~
Just take some time these two days to record the song and send it to CCTV." Gu Wei said after typing the last word.
"The lyrics seem quite suitable for the theme of the May Fourth Gala. I'd like to hear how you sing it."
Gu Wei smiled, stood up and picked up Jing Tian who was sitting on his lap.
"Ah, what are you doing~" Da Tiantian was caught off guard and was startled. She quickly hooked her hands around Gu Wei's neck, and her two slender legs swung back and forth in the air.
"I don't plan to sing, but I want to hear you sing later, Tiantian." Gu Wei said with a naughty smile and walked towards the bedroom with Jingtian in his arms.
