Chapter 705: Da Tiantian who can’t be made popular?
After the box office broke 5 billion, the box office performance of "The Wandering Earth" became increasingly weak.
It's normal. It has been released for a month. If the performance is any stronger, it would be a miracle. Other movies will not be able to survive.
Although mainstream media and official media are very optimistic about "The Wandering Earth" and it was even featured in the news broadcasts when the box office was at its peak last month, there has been no case of official or public institutions booking the entire theater.
In this respect, it cannot be compared with the original "Wolf Warrior 2".
After the box office of [Wolf Warrior 2] exceeded 5.5 billion yuan, it relied on enterprises and institutions across the country to book theaters and pushed the final box office to 6 billion yuan.
According to the current box office trend, even if the release date is postponed for two months, the final box office of "The Wandering Earth" should not exceed 5.5 billion, and there is no hope of catching up with "Wolf Warrior 2".
Maoyan's box office forecast is 5.3 billion yuan, which will basically not vary much. Generally, a movie's release date is postponed for one month, but the box office revenue is not as high as that of a popular movie in one day.
Now that the battle among the Spring Festival movies has officially come to an end.
In February this year, the national total box office exceeded 10 billion yuan. This is the second time that the mainland's total box office has exceeded 10 billion after February last year, and it happened 6 days earlier than last year.
At the same time, this is also the second time in the world that the monthly box office in a single market has exceeded 10 billion yuan, and Chinese films have set two world records!
[The Wandering Earth] is undoubtedly the biggest winner of this year's Spring Festival.
In addition, "Crazy Alien" took a final box office of 2.083 billion, "Speeding Life" took 1.72 billion, and "The New King of Comedy" which collapsed in reputation only took 574 million.
Following Wu Jing, Chen Teng's personal film box office also exceeded 10 billion, making him the fourth "10 billion male actor" in China.
After [Speeding Life], Han Han became more and more popular.
From his debut film "See You Tomorrow" to "The Mermaid" and now "Speeding Life", the movies he directed have been getting higher and higher at the box office.
One movie might be luck, but three hit movies in a row is strength.
Besides, unlike Guo Xiaosi who earned box office revenue but lost reputation, Han Han’s several movies have all had very good reputations.
Generally speaking, this year's Spring Festival box office was satisfactory to all parties. In terms of box office, even "The New King of Comedy" made money, but it just did not meet Stephen Chow's original expectations.
".In fact, someone still lost money."
"Who is it?"
"Bao Qiang"
[Life Events] After finishing filming, Gu Wei did not return to Beijing, but flew to Hangzhou to meet up with Jing Tian. The two of them were going to record Blueberry Channel's [Ace vs. Ace] together.
[Sito] is about to be broadcast online, and various online promotions have made this TV series even more popular.
"Wang Baoqiang?
I remember he played in Zhou Xingchi's "The New King of Comedy". Although the movie's reputation was not very good, it was impossible for it to lose money." Da Tiantian looked puzzled.
She has no movies released recently, and she only paid attention to Gu Wei's "The Wandering Earth" during the Spring Festival, so she doesn't know many things.
“It has nothing to do with my identity as an actor.
Before the release of [Crazy Alien], the film's producers Huanxi Media and Lekaihua Films signed a 2.8 billion guaranteed distribution agreement. Lekaihua Films is Wang Baoqiang's company.
The box office of "Crazy Alien" is less than 2.1 billion, and Bao Qiang will probably lose nearly 50 million."
"In the past two years, guaranteed releases have been very popular. Everyone was optimistic about "Crazy Alien" before it was released. Now no one expected that the distribution company would lose money even though it guaranteed the minimum." Jing Tian sighed.
"The film industry itself is a very risky business, and no one can guarantee that their film will be a hit.
The risk of betting is even higher. If you win, you make a lot of money, but if you lose, it’s normal to lose money.”
If you want to win excess profits, you naturally have to bear the corresponding risks.
There have been a lot of gambling in the entertainment industry in recent years, but not many people can win in the end.
Backstage at Blueberry Station.
After arriving, Gu Wei first met with the program crew, and then took Jing Tian to meet the Ace host team.
"My brother is here and has been waiting for you!" Chen Teng, wearing a red suit, gave Gu Wei a big hug as soon as they met.
"Brother Teng, congratulations, you're now a billionaire actor!" Gu Wei said with a smile.
"Hey~ It's no big deal, I don't care whether it's hundreds of billions or not.
I'm just a small actor, I work hard on filming, and let the rest take its course." Chen Teng said that he didn't care, but the smug expression on his face showed his mentality vividly.
"Xiaotong, how many billion is it?"
"10.25 billion, you have repeated it to us many times, Brother Teng!" Guan Xiaotong said helplessly.
"Haha, I'm old and my memory is not very good. You are so young and you can remember things." Chen Teng continued laughing.
"Brother Teng, your current box office performance is very impressive, but Gu Wei's total box office has already exceeded 20 billion. Your 10 billion is nothing compared to him." Jia Ling jokingly said with narrowed eyes.
[Ace vs. Ace] is in its fourth season this year. The early hosts Wang Zulan, Wang Yuan, Xie Na and others did not renew their contracts for various reasons. Starting from the third season, Chen Teng and Jia Ling became the main MCs of the show, and Hua Chenyu and Guan Xiaotong joined this season.
"There's no need to compare between me and my brother, we're all family," Chen Teng laughed.
"I think, Gu Wei, you should try not to work with people like Wu Jing and Huang Bo in the future. It's meaningless.
It just so happens that you've acted in so many different types of movies but haven't done a comedy yet. If we get a chance, let's make a comedy together. It'll be absolutely killer!"
"Brother Teng, the abacus beads you hit hit my face!" After Gu Wei said this, everyone laughed.
"Brother Teng, long time no see~" Jingtian, who was standing aside, greeted everyone.
"It's been a long time since we last met. Tiantian has become more and more beautiful."
"Do you know each other?" Gu Wei asked in surprise.
"At the 4th Silk Road International Film Festival last year, Brother Teng and I served as publicity ambassadors together," said Da Tiantian.
"The entertainment industry is really small. Everyone you meet is familiar."
This episode of [Ace vs. Ace] was specially arranged for the [Sito] crew.
In addition to Gu Wei and Jing Tian, Zhu Xudan, who played Chen Yindeng, and Zhang Yichi, who played Yan Furui, also attended the show today.
During the recording, everyone was divided into two teams, the Ace Family and the [Si Teng] Family, 4V4, which was just right for doing various game projects.
The original time and space of "Sito" was broadcast in 21 years, and at that time it also appeared on the program "Ace vs. Ace" for promotion.
However, Jing Tian and Zhang Binbin are only two of the many invited guests. The program team invited a total of 14 artists to join, including the seven students from "Youth With You 3", as well as Song Xiaobao, Ma Li, Huang Xiaoming and others.
Throughout the entire show, Jing Tian had slightly more shots, while Zhang Binbin only had a handful, which looked very pitiful.
When recording a variety show, the effect is important, but fame and status are more important. Zhang Binbin is undoubtedly just a small-time guest, so he was not taken seriously by the program crew.
But it’s different now. Although "Sito" is just a web drama and has not been broadcast on Blueberry Channel, Gu Wei has the face to be on the show, and the "Ace" production team will definitely give him the highest courtesy.
The entire program was designed to promote "Si Teng".
Gu Wei had been on this show when he was promoting "Eternal Love". After such a long time, the host has changed and the content has also changed a lot, but indoor variety shows, no matter how they change, still mainly focus on games.
Today's three segments are [Water Lily], [Telepathy], and [Perfect Match]. To put it simply, it's about guessing the lyrics. You gesture and I guess, and you play finger-guessing games and splash water.
Everyone was familiar with each other, so they were very relaxed when playing the game. The recording lasted for more than two hours, and the crew of "Sito" had a lot of fun recording the show.
The last game [Perfect Match] began, and Gu Wei was splashed with water in the face at the beginning of the first round.
Seeing him become a drowned rat, the audience in the audience laughed like crazy. It was rare to see Gu Wei in such a miserable state.
"Xiaotong, you..." Gu Wei wiped his face and looked at Guan Xiaotong with a long tone, "Good job!"
"It's so sad. We've been together for so many years. I was so kind to you when you were little, and now you're so cruel to me."
"What do you mean by childhood? I wasn't a child when we met, okay?" Guan Xiaotong was a little embarrassed at first, but replied indignantly when she heard what Gu Wei said.
"Xiaotong, you did the right thing. I remember when you were acting in the role of [Left Ear], did Gu Wei play your ex-boyfriend?" Chen Teng added fuel to the fire.
"Yeah, the scumbag played by Brother Wei abandoned me!"
"That's right, now is the time for you to take revenge!"
"Sorry, I was too slow in blocking it with the lid." Jing Tian apologized to Gu Wei with a smile.
"It's okay, Tiantian, I believe you can do it. Next time I win, just splash me harder. I'm going to drag Brother Teng along with me!"
"No problem!" Da Tiantian replied, and then the two of them raised their hands and high-fived.
"You are really my good brother." Chen Teng was speechless after listening to what they said.
"Of course, we share the same difficulties!"
In the next few rounds, both sides won and lost, but as expected, both Gu Wei and Shen Teng became drowned rats.
There were bursts of laughter in the venue, and the show was extremely effective.
After this round of the game, Gu Wei went backstage to change his clothes.
Jingtian also changed out of the sportswear she had just worn for gaming and put on a black swan dress.
Her jet-black hair draped over her shoulders, and her strapless long dress revealed her snow-white skin and smooth shoulders. Her facial features were delicate, and her big eyes blinked as if they could speak.
After changing her clothes and putting on some makeup, Da Tiantian's temperament immediately changed. She became noble and elegant, with an inviolable queen-like aura.
"Perfect, our Tiantian is indeed a beautiful girl!" Gu Wei, who was waiting to go on stage backstage, praised Jingtian.
"How can this be your home? Do you have my consent?" Da Tiantian raised her head slightly, acted proudly, and raised the corners of her mouth.
"Then Ms. Si Teng, what do you need me to do?" Gu Wei also cooperated with her with a smile.
Jingtian raised one hand and motioned Gu Wei to support her.
"It depends on your performance"
Gu Wei held her hand, and then the two of them clasped their fingers together and looked at each other.
At this time, the music started, and the two walked onto the stage in the smoke, facing the audience and the camera, and began to sing the episode "Missing" from "Sito".
"Brother is so handsome!"
“Keitian is so beautiful!”
“What a perfect match!!”
“.”
The two people sang on the stage, and the audience below burst into excited shouts.
After the recording of [Ace vs. Ace] was completed, Gu Wei had a meal with Chen Teng and others. The next day, he took the [Si Teng] crew to Changsha to record Happy Camp.
As International Women's Day is getting closer, the special episode of "Sito" on "Ace vs. Ace" will be broadcast first.
In addition to its high ratings, the drama "Sito" has also aroused widespread discussion among netizens.
The popularity of "The Wandering Earth" has not yet passed, and Gu Wei's new drama is about to be launched, which makes "Sito" popular before it is broadcast, and the attention is directly maxed out.
I'm so excited! Da Tiantian is finally going to work with Gu Wei. They both have my favorite looks and look perfect together. A perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman!
I've read the novel "Half-Demon Si Teng," and the trailer released by the crew shows Jing Tian's Si Teng as being very beautiful, very consistent with her image in the novel. I just don't know if the TV series will be as good.
I don't know what Gu Wei was thinking. Why would he want to work with Jing Tian? Da Tiantian has been criticized since her debut, and Jing Tian's inability to make her popular is already widely acknowledged. Is Gu Wei trying to take on a difficult challenge?
[I recognize Jingtian’s good looks, but not so much in other aspects.
There have been so many bad movies made over the years, but only "The Glory of Tang Dynasty" is still worth watching.
My first impression of any drama featuring her is that it's a bad movie! 】
[Sure enough, Gu Wei still couldn't escape Da Tiantian's mysterious power. After working with so many big stars, Jingtian finally extended its claws to Gu Wei, who has the title of "domestic entertainment dad".
Let's wait and see, will Da Tiantian break Gu Wei's golden image of "domestic entertainment dad", or will Gu Wei make the "unpopular Jingtian" popular again?
[I guess the performance of "Sito" will not be too good. Jing Tian's past experience tells us that the dramas she joins are only different from bad to worse.
Even with Gu Wei's support, the performance of "Sito" may be better, but it is definitely not comparable to his previous dramas! 】
[Can you please stop being so prejudiced? Are you not allowing others to make progress?
I think Jing Tian has made great progress over the years. She's beautiful and dedicated to her acting. With Gu Wei's help, she's definitely going to take off!
[I'm afraid it's not about taking off, but about pulling Gu Wei down. Sun Honglei, Zhen Zidan, Cheng Long, and Zhang Yimou are all unable to carry her, and Gu Wei is probably powerless to do anything either.
It is very likely that Jingtian offered some benefits that were hard to refuse to get Gu Wei to support someone.
But I guess it's all in vain.
This is not the first or second time, it is generally acknowledged that "Jingtian cannot be made popular"!
[No matter what, Gu Wei has never let me down. Whether he's good or bad, we'll know after the show "Sito" is aired!]
【.】
"Why is this happening? I'm just so unpopular." Da Tiantian was browsing the online discussions about [Si Teng], her brows slightly furrowed, and her fair face looked unhappy.
She was wearing a light yellow silk pajamas and a pink headband for washing. Her face was bare without any makeup, but her smooth skin was flawless. The best way to describe her at the moment was to be as natural as a lotus emerging from clear water.
Gu Wei came over with a can of Coke and sat next to her.
"It's not surprising. People's impression of you wasn't formed overnight."
"What should we do then?" Jing Tian pouted and hugged Gu Wei's arm coquettishly.
"Just wait for the TV series to air, and then use your strength to make everyone shut up.
The harsher they curse now, the more they will be slapped in the face later.
And those who scold you now will become your fans in the future!
I have experience in this area.”
"Will it?" Jing Tian looked skeptical.
"Believe me!" Gu Wei's face was full of confidence.
Then he thought, "Tomorrow [Sito] will be airing, and it's a good opportunity to take advantage of the netizens' questioning of your popularity. Let's add fuel to the fire!"
"What's the meaning?"
Gu Wei didn't say anything else, but took out his cell phone and sent a Weibo message.
“Prejudice in people’s hearts is like a mountain. No matter how hard you try, you can’t move it. @Jingtian”
Below is a picture of Shen Gongbao from Nezha.
He then instructed Jingtian to post on Weibo.
"My fate is in my own hands, whether I am a demon or an immortal, I have the final say! @Gu Wei"
It is accompanied by a super hot picture of Nezha after his transformation, riding on wind-fire wheels and holding a fire spear.
The interaction between the two immediately attracted the attention of countless netizens.
The number of comments under Gu Wei and Jing Tian’s Weibo posts grew rapidly, from dozens to hundreds and then to tens of thousands in less than a minute.
Netizens all knew what they meant by posting these two Weibo posts, and everyone was discussing them excitedly.
Some expressed comfort, some mocked, and some even made bets on the quality of [Si Teng].
In less than an hour, the number of comments exceeded 100,000.
At this time, the two of them posted a Weibo at the same time.
"On March 8th, [Si Teng] will be officially launched, so stay tuned!"
The accompanying picture is a poster of the two of them together in [Sito].
"Is that all?"
"Of course, you haven't seen how excited netizens are. The already high popularity has been further hyped up. We'll have to wait and see how "Sito" performs after it airs.
If the TV series becomes a hit, our behavior will be awesome and will give the haters a slap in the face in advance.
"If she fails, she'll be slapped in the face." Gu Wei said jokingly, he knew in his heart that Si Teng couldn't fail.
With his performance and fame, this drama will only be more popular than the original one.
"Then wait, I have confidence in you anyway!" Da Tiantian has little confidence in herself, but has confidence in Gu Weigen.
