#16 days after release, the total box office has reached 4.6 billion! The war epic "Changjin Lake" firmly holds the top spot on the daily box office charts! #
##
On October 20, after 21 days of release, the total box office of "The Battle at Lake Changjin" officially exceeded 5 billion, surpassing "Nezha" and ranking fourth in film history, second only to "The Wandering Earth", "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Detective Chinatown 3".
While releasing a celebratory poster, the official film announced that "Changjin Lake" had obtained the secret key and the release date was postponed to November 30.
Maoyan platform predicts that the box office of the movie is 6.3 billion, and is optimistic that "The Battle at Lake Changjin" will become the new box office champion in film history.
In fact, there are many other films released in the domestic film market in October, such as Gong Li and Mark Chao's "Lanxin Theater", Guan Xiaotong, Jiang Wen and Hu Jun's "Turandot: The Origin of the Curse", Fan You's "The First Incense" and "The Guest", as well as the Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster "Dune".
It’s just that either they are low-budget movies with no traffic, or they are so bad that the ratings are very low, or the stories and genres are not liked by the audience, and none of them can make a big hit at the box office.
Among them, the fantasy blockbuster "Turandot: The Origin of the Curse", which cost more than 300 million yuan, was particularly bad.
This film was directed by the famous director Zheng Xiaolong and brought together well-known actors such as Guan Xiaotong, Jiang Wen, Dylan Sprouse, Hu Jun, Collin Chou, Sophie Marceau, etc. It seemed to have all the conditions to be a big hit, but it was a complete and utter bad movie.
Rescue the princess, the prince's revenge, the general's rebellion, all kinds of famous scenes pieced together and a combination of Chinese and Western elements.
It's a classic, but it's been adapted beyond recognition. There's hardly a single point in the whole film that people can't complain about.
First there was Lu Han's "Shanghai Fortress" and then there was Guan Xiaotong's "Turandot". Netizens jokingly called the two of them "a couple who only make useless movies."
The poor performance of other films allowed "Changjin Lake" to maintain a high screening schedule, thus sitting firmly at the top of the daily box office charts for more than 20 consecutive days.
The crew of "Storm Chasers".
".Trafficking in counterfeit currency and opium is a disaster for the country and the people. Are those people in Nanjing crazy?"
"Wei Ruolai! Can you please be more realistic?"
"I'm realistic? How can I be realistic?
If Mr. Song doesn't care, we will continue to push it forward. Chairman Chiang will not ignore it.
If this continues, this country will be doomed!"
In the living room of the Republic of China-style villa, Gu Wei excitedly discussed with Jin Dong how to solve the current difficulties they were facing.
As a promising young man, he has not yet been completely disappointed with the Nationalist government and hopes to use his own strength to make this country a better place.
"This matter ends here. I've done everything I can say and do, so I give up!"
Compared with him, Jin Dong is in a higher position and knows more, so he is more powerless.
“Then we will make the evidence public so that the people know what they did.
The pressure of public opinion will bring them to heel, sir!"
Gu Wei still refused to give up, but Jin Dong's feeling of powerlessness made him more and more irritated. He yelled and threw the water cup beside him to the ground.
“No media dared to report that the real shareholder behind Factory 17 is the Kong family, the eldest sister.
Mr. Kang and Yu Zhiying are just his minions.
What’s the point of cutting off a few branches if the roots are already rotten?”
Wang Churan, who played Shen Jinzhen, came over and explained to Gu Wei.
For a moment, the three of them were silent. Gu Wei's eyes were red. After understanding the truth, he felt even more confused.
Jin Dong stood up and patted his shoulder: “Ru Lai, I’m sorry to disappoint you.
I’m disappointed in myself too.”
"Crack! It's over!
Very good, the teachers did a great job!"
When the director's voice came, the three people who were immersed in their emotions breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's still more fun to act with you. I like this kind of collision feeling!"
Jin Dong took the tissue from the staff and wiped the corners of his eyes which were slightly tearful, then said to Gu Wei beside him with a smile.
“It’s mainly because the script is well written.
Of course, my brother didn’t get the Best Actor and Best Actor awards for nothing,” Gu Wei joked.
After filming this long shot, the actors went to the side to rest.
"Your film 'Changjin Lake' is really exaggerated. It's been released for almost a month, and the box office is still growing so fast!
"We should be able to reach 6 billion by the end of October, right?" Jin Dong said as he took a sip of water from his assistant after sitting down.
"About the same. I saw on the news that quite a few government agencies, organizations, enterprises, and institutions have booked theaters to watch The Battle at Lake Changjin. That's why the box office is still so strong after almost a month of release."
"Main-theme movies have been extremely popular in the past two years.
Take movies about the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, for example. Last year’s “King Kong River” had a high box office, and this year there’s the record-breaking movie “The Battle at Lake Changjin.”
It is conceivable that there will be more film companies working on this subject in the future."
Gu Wei nodded.
"The popularity of mainstream films in the past two years is essentially because the country has developed to a certain level, people's national pride is constantly increasing, and there is a spiritual need for this.
The huge sales of "Wolf Warrior 2", "My People, My Country" series and "The Battle at Lake Changjin" are all due to this.
However, too much of anything will inevitably cause disgust, and the same is true for mainstream movies.
Look at this year's "My Fathers and I," the box office performance was significantly lower than the previous two films."
"Are you saying that the profits from mainstream films have been almost fully realized?"
“No, the main theme is still popular, but if a movie with the same theme follows the trend, it will most likely fail.
The audience's patience is limited. They may be surprised when watching the first part, but the second part becomes mediocre, and by the third or fourth part they may become bored.
Therefore, even the main theme must be innovative.”
After listening to Gu Wei's words, Jin Dong thought for a while and shook his head.
“I hardly make movies anyway, so there’s no point in thinking about this.
People say you're the box office king, and they think it's because of your popularity and large fan base that everything you do becomes a hit. They don't realize that your perspective on film completely transcends the average person's understanding."
Gu Wei smiled and did not refute.
The two chatted for a while, and Yang Dan walked up to Gu Wei and whispered, "Boss, Sister Nazha is here."
"A friend is coming to visit us on set, I'm going out to meet him."
Gu Wei said something to Jin Dong, then stood up and walked out.
He was not surprised by Nazha's arrival. When he spoke to Nazha at the Greater Bay Area Gala, she had said that she wanted to come and see him.
It just so happened that Nazha went to Hangzhou to participate in a brand event these two days, so she came to Hengdian to visit him.
"Did you miss me?"
When she saw Gu Wei, Nazha wanted to rush up and throw herself into his arms.
However, considering that this was a film set with many people talking, she forced herself to control her impulse and asked in a low voice.
"Of course I have. What about you?"
"I miss you so much!"
Nazha looked at Gu Wei with eyes full of love, and the smile on her face was as bright as the sun.
"How many days can you stay?"
"I'd like to stay longer, but I have to go abroad next week to shoot a fashion blockbuster for VOGUE, so I can only stay here for three days." Nazha looked regretful.
"Going abroad to shoot, where to?"
"Denmark~"
After the two chatted for a few sentences, Gu Wei introduced Nazha to the other actors in the same group.
Nazha got to know Tian Xiwei mainly through introducing Jin Dong and Wang Churan.
"Hello, Sister Nazha, I really like your drama Love O2O.
Bei Weiwei is so beautiful!"
Wang Churan shook hands with Nazha and greeted her politely.
"Hello, you played the courtesan "Sang Wen" in [Joy of Life 2], right? You're really beautiful!"
After Nazha finished speaking, she looked at Wang Churan's face carefully for a few seconds, which made the other party a little at a loss.
"Is there something on my face?"
"No, I just think you have a great temperament!"
Wang Churan grinned.
Because Nazha came to visit the set, after the crew finished filming in the evening, Gu Wei organized several main actors to have a meal together so that everyone could get together and have some fun.
Gu Wei and Jin Dong drank a few glasses of wine at the dinner table. After the dinner, everyone returned to the crew hotel to rest.
"That Wang Churan is really beautiful and has a great temperament. She does look a bit like Yifei."
After coming back, Nazha changed into a light pink pajamas and stuck to Gu Wei.
"Of course she's beautiful. What female celebrity isn't beautiful?"
Gu Wei was holding a tablet computer in his hand and looking at something, his fingers constantly swiping left and right, and he spoke casually.
"Hehe~ So who do you think is prettier, her or me?"
"You must be pretty!"
Gu Wei doesn't need to think when answering this kind of question, whoever asks it will look good.
Naza nodded in satisfaction.
[The Wind Chaser] is a TV series produced by [Wei Ming Tian Xia], starring the boss Gu Wei again, but in the end the heroine was chosen to be an actress from outside the company.
Although there was a rumor within the company that the other party was chosen because of his good audition performance, Nazha knew that there were only three candidates for the audition of "Storm Chaser", and two of them were female stars under the company.
The fact that Wang Churan had this audition opportunity shows that her identity is not simple, and it is most likely because of her relationship with Gu Wei.
Nazha understood it very well, but she had no intention of asking too many questions. After all, she knew Gu Wei best. She just said a few words with a hint of jealousy.
"I heard from the company that you're going to collaborate with Sister Yifei on a new drama again?"
Gu Wei shifted his gaze from the tablet to look at Nazha.
"Yes, a very healing TV series, which will probably be filmed next year.
Do you want to act too? I'll reserve a role for you in the play."
Nazha pouted and said, "Forget it, you two take the photo, why would I interfere?"
Gu Wei knew that Nazha was jealous, so he smiled and hugged her in his arms.
"Let me show you something good!"
Then he showed her the tablet in his hand.
"What is this? It looks like an island in the sea?"
"Yes, it's an island. There's more than one. If you turn back, there are more."
Nazha followed the guard's instructions and flipped through the photos, seeing islands of varying shapes and terrains, some large, some small.
"What are you looking at? Are you planning to go on an island trip again?
When do we set off this time?" Nazha asked in surprise.
Gu Wei shook his head.
“I’m not going on a trip, I’m planning to buy an island.
These are the options you see.
There are islands in the Maldives in the Indian Ocean that we’ve been to, as well as islands in Australia and New Zealand in the Pacific Ocean, and even small islands in countries like Denmark, Finland, and Norway where you’re going to shoot fashion blockbusters.”
After listening to Gu Wei, Nazha opened her mouth in surprise.
"Everyone else is buying cars and houses, but you're already thinking about buying an island. That's too much!
Are these islands expensive? "
Gu Wei smiled and shook his head: "There are many islands in the world that can be bought and sold, and the prices vary greatly.
It's just like buying a house. Some are luxury homes worth hundreds of millions of yuan, while others are just small county town houses worth tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan. It depends on what you choose.
The better the geographical location and scenery, the richer the resources on the island, and the higher the price of the island.
You can help me choose and see if there is anything you like."
Nazha looked embarrassed: "How can I understand these"
“There are pictures here, and a detailed introduction to each island is also included.
Where is it located, how big is it, what resources are there, etc.
I have already screened a few islands, and among them, two are in Maldives, one is in Thailand, and the other four are in Australia and New Zealand.
You can choose from these"
"Okay then, I'll help you take a look." After hearing what Gu Wei said, Nazha began to look at it with great interest.
“These islands look beautiful, but they are really expensive.
The cheapest one is priced at $5 million.
This is actually 30 million US dollars, more than 200 million, it’s too expensive! "
Gu Wei held Nazha in his arms, and one of his big hands naturally reached in through the gap in her clothes, feeling the softness and delicacy.
“It’s not expensive. The islands I chose are relatively small and suitable for a small group of people to visit and vacation, so the price is right.
I remember that the most expensive island in the world is Lanai in Hawaii, which was sold for 600 million US dollars.
Of course, Lanai is the sixth largest island in Hawaii, and its area cannot be compared with these small islands."
"The world of you rich people is so far away from us ordinary people."
Gu Wei was a little amused: "What a rich world, Nazha, aren't you a wealthy woman yourself?"
“I think I earn a lot, but it’s still not even a fraction of what you earn.
It seems that my wish in this life will never come true." Nazha sighed pretentiously.
"What is your wish in this life?
What is it?
Nazha turned her head and looked at Gu Wei: "My wish in this life is to make a lot of money and then support you.
You don’t have to go out to work, just stay at home every day to cook and clean the house, waiting for me to come back.”
As she spoke, Nazha seemed to be immersed in the world she had woven, and she laughed foolishly.
Gu Wei leaned forward, gently kissed Nazha's pink lips, and said with a smile:
"Then you have to work hard. I really like spending money, and it's not easy to support me."
Naza thought about it and felt a little discouraged: “Indeed, these big toys you like are very valuable.
I can’t afford private jets, yachts, or even the island I want to buy now.”
"Haha, since you can't support me, I'll support you instead.
All the same! "
Nazha curled her lips and turned the topic back to the island: "Do you want to buy a private island for your own vacation?"
"I guess so. The last time we went to the Maldives together, I had a great experience, so I wanted to buy an island that would truly belong to me.
Then you don’t have to worry about being photographed by others while on vacation, you can do whatever you want.”
"But you're usually so busy, you probably don't have much time to go.
Isn’t it a waste to spend so much money?”
Gu Wei thought for a moment and said, "My island will definitely not be used for commercial purposes. Normally, it can be used as a reward for outstanding employees of the company.
Private island travel should be very attractive to everyone." (End of this chapter)
