Chapter 641: Postponement was returned to the script
domestic.

The Lunar New Year holiday season is completely over!

"The Storm" starring Liu Dehua stopped at just over 300 million, which is a very good box office.

Especially among Hong Kong films in recent years, this result can be ranked in the top two.

The Hong Kong media was excited and began to report extensively on "Storm" as soon as it was released. Although their words implied that Hong Kong stars would once again carry the box office, they did not do so deliberately. Instead, they emphasized praising the prosperity of the mainland market.

"Tsk tsk, those people in Hong Kong Island have been completely subdued, haha."

"Indeed, although it's no longer sarcastic, they didn't invite many mainland celebrities to the movie's celebration party."

"King Liu is really praising Director Gu. His words show that he hopes to work with him once."

"Most media are OK, but there are still some media that just can't change their bad habits. A movie with a box office of over 300 million yuan is nothing in mainland China."

What the netizens said is true. Although "Storm" had good box office results, it is indeed not very impressive in mainland China.

The most eye-catching film in the mainland film market at the moment is "Private Tailor", which was released in January and has grossed over 1 million yuan in two weeks.

The second is "New Police Story 2013", which grossed million in ten days.

Although "Personal Tailor" is still in the lead, any discerning person can see that it is already at the end of its strength. The average daily box office of this movie is only more than 10 million, and there is still half a month before the end of the theatrical period.

Many companies in the industry predict that the box office of "Personal Tailor" will be at most 700 million yuan. If an accident happens during the filming, it may not even reach 700 million yuan.

Moreover, the news has spread in the film industry that Huayi submitted an application for an extension key for "Private Tailor" to the Film Bureau a few days ago.

As a result, I was directly rejected.

People in the industry are speculating on the reason, because based on the box office results, it is absolutely impossible for it to be rejected.

As for the reason for the rejection, there are all kinds of opinions in the circle.

Only some industry bosses know exactly why.

"These two brothers are still thinking about postponing the release date? If they succeed in postponing the release date, how can other movies during the Spring Festival get high box office?" Yu Dong couldn't help but mutter. The conflict between Bona and Huayi Company has been going on for a long time, and he was immediately happy to hear the news.

"Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is less than a month away from release, but the failure to postpone "Personal Tailor" reminded him that some things need to be prepared early.

"The Lunar New Year movies cannot be postponed, but the Spring Festival movies can be postponed." Yu Dong murmured to himself.

.........

"Fangfang, take these notebooks to Teacher Xu."

"Okay, Miss Hua."

Liu Fangfang feels that her luck has turned recently and fate has finally begun to favor her.

She is 27 years old this year, graduated from a prestigious university, and was promoted to supervisor in a medium-sized training institution three years ago. Although when others praise her for her youth and success, she always humbly declines and says it is all luck, but deep down, she thinks the compliments are too subtle.

Can a 24-year-old supervisor be simply described as young and promising?

That means there is a bright future ahead, isn't it?

But after being promoted, she found that her good luck seemed to have run out, because she had to start thinking about the most important event in her life, getting married.

Three years passed in a flash. She had been thinking about it for three whole years, but she was still single.

My colleagues and classmates introduced me to about twenty or thirty people, but I never found the right one.

She looks down on those with poor conditions, and is blind to those with good conditions.

Occasionally, she would have the idea of ​​going on a blind date, but she would immediately throw this ridiculous idea out of her mind.

Are you kidding me?
I need a blind date?
To be modest, she thinks she is quite pretty, thanks to her two big eyes like black gemstones and her fair and delicate skin.

Many female students in the institution who take art exams feel ashamed in comparison.

But perhaps God closed a window for her. She was only 1.56 meters tall, and barely 1.6 meters with shoes on.

But she doesn't think it's a defect. What's wrong with not being tall?
In winter, when there is no heating, you can save a quilt. If you fold it in half, it can be used as two.

She hopes that her future husband will be under 30 years old, over 1.75 meters tall, ambitious, and if possible, he should own a car and a house in the capital, with an annual income of more than 200,000 yuan.

She doesn't have too high requirements for her future husband's appearance, and she just wants him to be similar to Kim Sung-oh and Oh Yeon-jo.

She never expected that she would have any intersection with the group of celebrities. She was just the director of a training institution, a director who didn't have high requirements for her boyfriend's appearance.

But fate played a little joke on her.

Three years ago, she switched jobs and joined Xingchen Film and Television, where she was assigned to be an assistant to newcomer Wan Qian, or to be more precise, one of the assistants.

When Liu Fangfang received this arrangement, she felt that her life was full of darkness. After all, how could she ever make a breakthrough with a newcomer?

On weekdays, the assistants of Qin Hao, Chen Minghao, Zhao Liying, Tong Liya and others were the objects of her envy. Seeing them so high up, Liu Fangfang never expected that her luck would turn, and her mistress Wan Qian suddenly became famous, and was promoted to the first line in less than a month.

Now, Liu Fangfang felt that she had reached the peak of her life. Her "superior" brothers and sisters had something to say to her and their attitude changed.

"Sister Hua, are they all TV drama scripts?" Liu Fangfang asked cautiously. After all, although TV dramas can promote people, the ultimate goal of an actor is still the big screen.

The value of a representative movie is much higher than that of a TV series, which is also recognized by the industry.

"What's wrong? Is the TV series not good?" Wang Jinghua didn't have a deep impression of Liu Fangfang and had only seen her a few more times during this period.

In other words, Wang Jinghua's main attention is on Tong Liya, Han Dongjun, Zhao Liying and her son.

But what she didn't expect was that Wan Qian would suddenly become popular, which forced Wang Jinghua to pay more attention to her.

In Xingchen Film and Television Company, Wang Chen and Jiang Xueruo are responsible for TV dramas, Chen Guofu generally only focuses on movies, and Song Ge is responsible for coordinating the overall situation, so the general artist brokerage business is all handled by Wang Jinghua, not limited to Shiba Culture Company.

It can be said that apart from Liu Yifei, Wang Jinghua will more or less participate in the announcements and endorsements of other artists. After all, everyone has his or her own expertise!

"Ah, no, Sister Hua, I was just asking casually. I thought acting in more movies would help consolidate Teacher Wan's position!" Liu Fangfang explained hurriedly.

"That's right. The company has accepted a script from the "Four Famous Detectives" series. You can ask Wan Qian if she wants to take it. The company won't force you."

In Wang Jinghua's opinion, Guangguang originally invited Zhao Liying to this movie, and she also wanted to keep the role for Zhao Liying, but now Guangguang can't wait to change the candidate and specifically invited Wan Qian.

After hearing the assistant girl's question today, Wang Jinghua could no longer hide it. Maybe Guangguang had already contacted Wan Qian privately.

If she kept obstructing it, it would not look good if it got out. In just one minute, Wang Jinghua thought of all the consequences.

So, he took the opportunity to say it directly and unintentionally when Liu Fangfang asked.

"Sister Hua, is it the 'Four Famous Detectives' produced by Guangguang, with Yang Mi playing the heroine?" Liu Fangfang couldn't help but raise her voice to confirm again.

"Well, the reason why I didn't give it to you right away was mainly because this is a series of movies. Wan Qian has just been promoted to the first-line, so this script is not a good choice."

"You said that if the box office is good, it will be a win-win situation. If the box office is bad, it may affect Qianqian's status."

"Besides, Yang Mi has acted in the first film before. If Qianqian accepts the script and fails to achieve the expected effect, it will also make outsiders laugh at her."

Now that she had said that, Wang Jinghua might as well just go straight to the point and raise all her concerns.

"Well, then I'll show it to Qianqian first. It's up to her to accept it or not. But I will definitely mention what Sister Hua said just now." Liu Fangfang didn't expect that a movie script could involve so many things. Her excitement just now instantly calmed down.

"Okay, let's go."

.........

In the Bive Villa.

The temperature in Los Angeles in January is not high, but since we live near the sea, the wind is quite strong.

Gu Wei, who had a rare day off, didn't go anywhere and stayed at home to accompany his young sister.

The warm sunshine shone through the window glass onto the notebook. Gu Wei held the pen in one hand, thought for a while, and wrote a few words in the grid on the other half of the notebook where the sun did not shine.

Yes, this is script writing.

It is still a military-themed script, the so-called "Nantianmen Project"!
I have to say that Han Sanping was really serious this time.

Ever since the last chat with Gu Wei, he has been working hard to make this happen, that is, a domestically produced military special effects blockbuster. In his plan, this movie will compete with American blockbusters such as "Transformers" and "Battleship", and may even surpass them!
But plans are plans, the ideas and concepts were all proposed by Gu Wei, so naturally the script can only be written by him.

Because of this matter, Han Sanping called Gu Wei many times, and he talked about this matter all the time, which almost scared him.

In the cloakroom next door, Liu Yifei was trying on a dress, and makeup artists and stylists were constantly coming in and out, preparing for the Golden Globe Awards ceremony two days later.

After a long time, Liu Yifei, who had just tried on the dress, tiptoed to the study. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Gu Wei writing furiously.

"What are you doing?" the young lady said sweetly.

"You scared me. Have you tried on the dress?" The pen in Gu Wei's hand slipped and left a mark on the notebook.

"Yeah, it's almost done. I'll leave some for Yuan Quan. They'll come over tomorrow and try it again." While speaking, Liu Yifei fed Gu Wei some fruit.

"Hey, I almost forgot that Qin Hao and the others are on a flight tomorrow. Let's stay at my house together after they arrive. It will be more lively with more people." Gu Wei put down his pen and slapped his forehead before he remembered this.

"Yes, I know. Everything has been arranged." Liu Yifei agreed with a smile, acting like a hostess. Then, as if she had discovered something, she said, "Here is the script. Let me see what's written on it?"

"I guess so. Just write something casually." Gu Wei handed the notebook over directly.

"Ah, a science fiction novel?" Liu Yifei took a quick look and found that the content did not seem like an ordinary script. Instead, it looked like the science fiction online novels she had read. She asked in surprise.

"Haha, just think of it as science fiction."
