Chapter 215 Sunglasses on, I Don't Love Anyone
In contrast, the situation is quite different in the North American market across the ocean.
The comments from North American netizens and movie fans under Warner Bros.' official Twitter account revealed a strong sense of doubt.
"Who is this Chinese guy named Gu? I remember he's a boss, right? He's going to direct a $1.5 million project?"
"I heard he was the screenwriter of Inception and a guest of Nolan."
"But Inception hasn't been released yet, has it? Who knows if it's any good or not!"
Many media outlets were even prepared to laugh at the idea, thinking that having a Chinese person direct a $1.5 million sci-fi blockbuster was simply outrageous.
When Warner Bros. executives saw these comments, they were not angry at all; on the contrary, they were overjoyed.
Isn't this just ready-made hype?
Since you want to know whether this Chinese man named "Gu" is capable or not.
Then don't bother waiting for Inception during the summer blockbuster season!
There's no time like the present, and we just happen to have a sci-fi film that he wrote and directed himself!
All I can say is that those old foxes in Hollywood are good at marketing.
Warner Bros. seized the opportunity and immediately put the North American release of "Source Code" on the agenda.
The main slogan is practically printed on the poster: "Want some gossip? Buy a ticket and watch it in the cinema!"
Various trailers with tags such as suspense, infinite flow, and "Gu" were bombarded on YouTube and major North American TV networks!
Just as the North American onlookers were getting itchy with excitement after Warner Music's teasing,
The domestic film and television industry has been screening the film for several days.
"Detective Chinatown," directed by Ning Hao and written by Gu Heng, has officially ended its theatrical run.
The total box office reached an astonishing 7.6 million!
Just a few months ago, Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" broke the box office record with 6.3 million yuan.
People still think this is definitely the pinnacle of domestic films, and that it can hold up for at least another year.
The results of it?
Director Jiang's throne as the highest-grossing director in China was relinquished before he even had a chance to settle in!
Who would believe that?
A comedy-mystery film has raked in a staggering 7.6 million yuan!
Some paparazzi, always eager for chaos, went to ambush Jiang Wen, wanting to see if this hot-tempered big shot would break down and start cursing on the spot.
As a result, Grandpa Jiang smoked a cigar, put on sunglasses, and didn't care about anyone.
His face clearly showed that he didn't care.
Break through defense? Break through what defense?
Anyway, I've had my fun.
If you're going to step down, then so be it.
Besides, whether it's "Let the Bullets Fly" or "Detective Chinatown," isn't Gu Heng the one standing behind them all?
This led to everyone wondering about one thing.
What's wrong with domestic cinemas these days?
Was it all because of the catfish-like phenomenon in Avatar?
The box office volume skyrocketed like a rocket!
In the past, a director who made over 100 million yuan was considered a big shot, and a grand banquet was held to celebrate.
These days, if you don't have a box office of 300 to 500 million, you'd be embarrassed to even greet your colleagues when you go out!
After this battle, Ning Hao was completely lauded both inside and outside the entertainment industry!
The internet is full of people worshipping him.
The title of Ning Hao as the leading figure in domestic commercial comedy films has firmly been secured.
Also taking off were the lead actors, including Wang Baoqiang and Zhu Yilong.
His market value skyrocketed, and his film salaries doubled!
According to Huang Bo's gossip to Gu Heng, Ning Hao has been walking with a swagger lately, all smiles and grinning at everyone, like he's found money.
People are in high spirits when they have good things happening, so Gu Heng thought it was normal for Ning Hao to be in this state.
With the movie a huge success, a celebratory banquet is definitely in order.
Su Qing acted swiftly, booking the lobby of a hotel in Beijing.
They ate meat and drank alcohol heartily, making a great commotion.
At this celebration banquet, the Vision family gained another group of "unofficial staff".
Chen Chichi brought several young actors from "iPartment" to freeload a meal.
After all, "iPartment" was a project mainly invested in by Vision, so these people were not exactly outsiders.
Gu Heng sat at the main table, looking at the group of still somewhat green faces.
I couldn't help but start ranting and raving in my head.
In their past lives, these people played a loving family in "iPartment".
The results of it?
After leaving this loving apartment building, all of these people went off to play villains!
Among a bunch of villains, only that one man has the guts!
That man!
Holy crap, how could I forget about him!
Gu Heng has been troubled by something lately.
Tangren's "Scarlet Heart" is about to start airing, but the male lead role is still vacant.
Isn't there one right here in front of us?
Attorney Zhang Wei.
Li Jiaxing has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a handsome appearance, and decent acting skills. He's more than qualified to play a prince.
Gu Heng remembered that in "Love 3", other people also complained that Zhang Wei's performance in "My Fair Princess" was a time-travel drama.
Maybe in the future, the complaints will turn into "Scarlet Heart".
Thinking of this, Gu Heng immediately called Li Jiaxing over.
Li Jiaxing was still a little flattered, and he ran over with his cup in hand: "Director Gu, you wanted to see me?"
Gu Heng simply clinked glasses with him and casually made a few small talk to get closer to him.
Upon inquiry, it turned out that this kid was still a fledgling actor who had just graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy and had not signed with any agency.
Upon hearing this answer, Gu Heng's lips curled into a smile.
Isn't this a coincidence?
Bring it to you!
Gu Heng didn't beat around the bush and immediately said that Vision Entertainment was willing to sign him and, as a gift, would give him the lead role in "Scarlet Heart".
This windfall left Li Jiaxing dizzy and speechless with excitement, nodding repeatedly.
When the news reached their table, the entire "iPartment" circle was even more excited than he was!
Chen Chichi, in particular, with his small eyes wide open, leaned close to Li Jiaxing with a sly grin and said sourly.
"Holy crap, Zhang Wei... no, Jiaxing! I worked so hard to get involved in Vision's project, and I'm still just an extra. How come you became a Vision employee in the blink of an eye after just one meal?"
Several young actors nearby chimed in, "If you become rich and powerful, don't forget us, Jiaxing! Don't forget your brothers when you're successful!"
