As they walked, Joey Wong asked, "Wei Jun, this ending is too dark. This kind of thing would not happen in reality, right?" Wei Jun sighed softly.

"I've done everything I should do, I hope not."

Chapter 62: Reuniting with an old lover, fierce competition in the summer season

The ending of "Who is the Murderer" shocked Wang Zuxian, but also made Jun himself very depressed because he was the only one who knew that reality was so illogical and cruel. He would definitely offend some people by filming these in advance, but it could only play a small role. Perhaps it was a supreme merit. In the minds of Wang Zuxian and others, Wei Jun just wrote a script and no one knew that Wei Jun had done a real-life simulation of a script killing.

What he wrote were all things that happened in reality.

Instead, there was a fire in Gu Weijun's heart.

His wife vented.

What Joey Wong really wanted to say was, it feels so out of place that you want me to die.

What about the fact that women have advantages in this regard?

This grandma is several dozen years older than before, so her fighting ability should be stronger, so she should come to Xiaoxianru to drink some water.

Wang Zuxian was silent for a moment, then she grabbed Wei Jun's feet and said, "Good brother, we had a good physical training today, so even good brother didn't think about anything else.

But the atmosphere has reached this point and it would be inappropriate if I didn't do something.

Lord Wei sighed to the sky.

I can only pick up my gun and mount my horse again.

Men, don't be cowardly.

So... the next day.

Da Tiantian looked between Director Wei and Joey Wong with a puzzled look.

Deng Chao also noticed the strange atmosphere between Director Wei and Joey Wong.

But he was a smart man and had no intention of exploring it.

He was just chatting with Director Wei.

"Director Wei, 'The Great Wall' is about to premiere, right?" "In half a month, Brother Chao, when will you guys finish recording Running Man?

"I can arrange it anytime here, Director Wei, don't worry.

Deng Chao knew that Director Wei wanted him to follow the crew to promote the film.

He certainly had no objection to this.

"Variety shows can be released first and then recorded later. It will definitely not affect our promotion. Besides, we have almost finished recording."

Deng Chao said.

Wei Jun nodded.

The episode of Running Man he recorded was not the first episode of Running Man.

Running Man has been recorded for quite some time.

However, during playback, the order will be disrupted.

This episode will be aired before The Great Wall is released.

Whether at the beginning or the end of the film, there will be promotion about "The Great Wall".

Despite this, Director Wei still reminded him, "I'll have someone send you a schedule later. Brother Chao, please make sure you clear out some time.

"no problem.

In fact, many big-name actors in the industry are too lazy to cooperate with publicity.

Because publicity is really tiring.

Especially roadshows.

Not to mention promotion, even when filming, many actors find it tiring.

It is not uncommon to use stand-ins, pivotal figures, and dubbing.

A classmate named Baby who did not want to reveal his name played a tactical fade-away.

In today's entertainment industry, as celebrities become richer and richer, it is becoming increasingly difficult to ask them to suffer.

But in the end, it depends on the situation.

When filming Director Wei's movies, even if she didn't have the same level of professionalism as Baby, she wouldn't dare to act like a big shot.

Not to mention Deng Chao.

Among the top stars of the Mesozoic era, Deng Chao is basically the one who lacks the support of big directors the most.

In 2015, no big director was willing to invite Deng Chao to be the leading actor.

During the same period, Huang Xiaoming had already won the Grand Slam of domestic awards.

Chen Kun's "Painted Skin" series and the already confirmed "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series have basically tied him to Wuershan, China's best director at making fantasy films.

Huang Bo and Xu Zheng don't seem to be liked by those veteran directors, but they still have a good friend Ning Hao. Ning Hao's status in the audience's mind is much better than those veteran directors.

Apart from anything else, 9 out of 10 protagonists of Qidian Entertainment novels will definitely lick Ning Hao's ass after traveling through time.

Unless you are reading a Chinese entertainment novel of the same level.

Zhang Yi, who has accumulated a lot of experience, is making steady progress and is about to gather all the great directors.

Even Huang Xuan, who has no audience appeal at all, can be rotated into starring in Chen Kaige's blockbuster films.

But Deng Chao never got a turn.

Later, he finally collaborated with Zhang Yimou to shoot "Shadow", but it was outshined by "Wushuang" which was released at the same time.

Brother Chao feels bad too.

People say that he has directed and starred in many bad movies, but if you think about it carefully, Deng Chao has never really got any good resources.

So at this time, Director Wei gave him a chance to star in a big movie. This was in 2015 when he hadn't completely taken off yet. Deng Chao was extremely interested in him and he was thinking about continuing to work with Director Wei in the future. It wasn't a big deal to be a supporting actor.

How many people want this opportunity but can't get it? "Director Wei, how much do you think our movie 'The Great Wall' will do at the box office?" Deng Chao asked.

Hearing Deng Chao ask this, Da Tiantian and Wang Zuxian also turned their gaze over.

As the leading actors in this film, they naturally hope for the highest box office revenue. Wei Jun smiled and said, "One billion is definitely no problem."

Da Tiantian directly raised her middle finger.

"We have invested 500 million, if it was only 1 billion we would have lost money.

Besides, your name alone is worth 1 billion.

Director Wei smiled and said, "That's an exaggeration. I'm currently worth a maximum of 500 million. It all depends on the quality of the film itself."

……hypocritical."

Da Tiantian said contemptuously: "You are definitely worth 1 billion, and Xiaoxianjie is worth 500 million. "The Great Wall" must have made at least 15 billion at the box office.

Deng Chao was a little embarrassed, but still whispered: "Running Man is so popular, and Tiantian and I have also been very popular recently. The two of us together are worth 500 million, right?

Da Tiantian also praised herself: "I think it's worth it.

Wei Jun shrugged, but did not refute.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with them. After the hit of Running Man, the bad movies starring Deng Chao have box office of over 5 million.

To make a good movie, it will definitely cost more than 500 million.

In the original time and space, after the Running Man became popular, even Baby's market value soared.

Otherwise, Wei Jun would not have chosen Deng Chao and Da Tiantian as the male and female protagonists of "The Great Wall".

Seeing that Wei Jun did not refute, Da Tiantian knew that Wei Jun had agreed.

She became excited. “So the box office of The Great Wall is at least 20 billion.”

Wei Jun said calmly: "Two billion is nothing special. I broke the bank more than a year ago."

Da Tiantian: ...

Joey Wong: …

Deng Chao: “…Wei Jun’s pretentiousness left them speechless.

But what Wei Jun said was really the truth.

It’s been almost two years since the first film in the series From the Future, “Tokyo Raid”, was released.

The first Chinese film to break 1 billion and 2 billion in box office revenue was produced by Wei Jun.

It is normal to let Wei Jun make another 20 billion movie now.

For others, it's excellent.

For Wei Jun, this is basic operation.

“Forget it, I’m not low-key anymore.

For our movie, 20 billion box office is definitely the starting point.

As for how much more it can be, it depends on the quality of the film and whether the audience likes it."

Wei Jundao.

Deng Chao added: "It also depends on how fierce the competition is this summer. I've seen that many of our competitors during the same period are quite capable."

Wei Jun nodded and said, "That's true. This year's summer season is quite lively."

Even if Wei Jun's "The Great Wall" had not been released this year, under normal circumstances there would have been a movie released that broke the 20 billion box office and broke the mainland Chinese box office record - "Monster Hunt".

But those who understand will know how much water there is in the so-called record-breaking box office of "Monster Hunt".

Not to mention the audience, even CCTV has exposed it specifically.

Therefore, not many people recognize "Monster Hunt", the box office champion.

However, even if half of the water is removed from "Monster Hunt", it is still a movie with a box office of over 10 billion. And also in this summer season, there is another movie whose reputation and IP popularity are obviously higher than "Monster Hunt" - "The Monkey King: Hero is Back". Yes, it is the "Monkey King: Hero is Back" that was pushed up by the popularity of the network.

Monkey King: Hero is Back In terms of quality, Monkey King: Hero is Back is certainly not perfect.

In terms of completion, "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" is actually not as good as "Nantu: The Devil Child Comes into the World", which almost broke the box office record.

But "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" is definitely better than "Monster Hunt".

Moreover, everyone can see that "The Return of the Great Sage" is definitely a movie made with great care.

Therefore, when "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" becomes well-known, it will also be a strong rival.

Of course, this is a strong enemy in Wei Jun's eyes.

Before the summer vacation season arrived, no one thought that "Monster Hunt" and "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" would be a hit.

At this time, the film that the market was optimistic about, including Deng Chao and others who were worried about, was "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain".

Dong Kaige's "The Taoist Descending the Mountain" ... Correspondence: "...

"Hu Wuyi Tongyu Wн is not lower than me at all now, and Baoqiang's box office appeal is stronger than mine when he performs comedies."

What Deng Chao said is also true.

Baoqiang's ability to carry a comedy show is indeed better than Deng Chao's.

Moreover, Baoqiang was also one of the seven permanent MCs in the first season of Running Man, and the popularity of Running Man also helped him.

It was just that when filming the second season, "Real Men" was a military variety show, and the military specifically asked Baoqiang to participate.

Baoqiang had no choice but to choose Mango TV's "Real Men" and gave up the national variety show "Running Man" which had just become popular.

This cannot be a political task.

It’s because Baoqiang’s role as Xu Sanduo in "Soldier Assault" is so classic that many people chose to join the army after watching "Soldier Assault".

So when these soldiers participate in military variety shows and record with celebrities, the actor they most want to work with is Baoqiang.

The army specifically asked for him, and even though Baoqiang knew that "Real Men" would definitely not be as popular as "Running Man", he had no choice but to record "Real Men".

This is also the reason why Bao Qiang was replaced by Bao Bei'er in the second season of Running Man.

It’s not that the Running Man production team doesn’t want Baoqiang, but they really have no choice but to choose Bao Beier as a backup.

Including the role of Bao Bei'er in the later "Lost in Hong Kong", Baoqiang also didn't want to shoot the film because he failed to reach an agreement with Xu Zheng on the conditions.
