Who are you calling powerful?.

Chapter 315
Wei Yang's "prophecy" really came true, and the first-day box office of "Great Wudang: The Code of Heaven and Earth" was less than 500 million.

With the addition of "Rising Fame", which has a strong box office, and the reshuffle of "Four Famous Arrests", the data of this movie is worse than Wei Yang's impression in his previous life. Whether it can reach 3000 million is a question.

At the end of July, "Painted Skin 7" stumbled and finally surpassed "Let the Bullets Fly", setting a new record and becoming the number one Chinese movie box office in history.

Director Wu Ershan became famous!
Not long after, "Rising Fame" broke through 4 million at the box office, second only to "Painted Skin 2" among the Chinese-language films that have been released this year. Counting imported films, it also entered the top five of the year.

Wei Yang, who wrote, directed and acted himself, also became famous in the film industry!
Some film media said that the biggest surprise of this summer is not the movies, but the discovery of two outstanding commercial film directors, and the Chinese film industry has added two new stars.

Among them, Wu Ershan is good at technology and graphics, and the special effects and art style of "Painted Skin 2" are still very impressive.

Wei Yang's strengths lie in the plot and character creation. The plot of "Rise of Fame" is logical, the characters have distinctive personalities, and the combination of several theme elements fits everyone's impression of Wei Yang's background as a screenwriter.

In terms of box office, "Painted Skin 2" performed better, but to some extent, it has lost the light of its predecessor.

"Rising Fame" has an advantage in word-of-mouth, but it's a pity that the box office has not improved.

In contrast, everyone is more optimistic about Wei Yang, and there are still a lot of praises for him. "Painted Skin 2" has somewhat lowered Wu Ershan's score due to its high controversy.

However, although there are few Chinese film directors like Wei Yang who can tell good stories, there are still some, but there are too few directors who can play well with technology.

For so many years, when it comes to blockbuster Chinese-language special effects movies, the only thing that comes to mind is Mr. Xu, which shows the extent of the lack of relevant talents.

Rare things are valuable, this is the most valuable part of Wuershan, China is too short of this kind of director who can make blockbuster special effects.

Wei Yang had no intention of competing with Wu Ershan. He never planned to be a director from the beginning. "Rising Fame" is a special case.

So the director's achievements don't matter to him. On the contrary, from the perspective of film and television investors, Wei Yang himself is very optimistic about Wu Ershan.

Put aside the "Fengshen" trilogy first, if Wu Ershan wants to start a project like "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", Wei Yang is very willing to participate in a share.

In August, the roadshow of "Rising Fame" has all ended, and the publicity and distribution team will come later, breaking 8 million red envelopes, and more than 5 million can also be accepted.

The main creators have all left. Wei Yang is the protagonist, so he has to cooperate with the ending. Before returning to the crew of "Celebrating More Than Years", he accepted an interview with the Six Princesses "China Movie Channel".

As CCTV's entertainment information program, although it is mainly aimed at Chinese-language movies, there are also TV drama news.

Wei Yang has dealt with them a lot, especially this time in "Rising Fame". Everyone is familiar with it, and the scope of the interview is very harmonious.

Hostess: "As of now, the box office of "Rise of Fame" has exceeded 4 million, ranking second in the summer season. It is also a very good result throughout the year. Are you satisfied with this result?"

"satisfy!"

The promotional work of "Rising Fame" is about to come to an end, and Wei Yang feels a little more relaxed.

"Before the movie was released, we had a rough estimate. The current data is higher than our basic expectations. All of us on the crew are very happy."

Hostess: "This should be your first official directorship. Do you feel any different from before?"

"Mixed feelings."

Wei Yang sighed a little: "The director has to be responsible for too many things, which is much larger than my previous workload, and the movies and the TV series I made before are two different types of film and television, which also brings difficulties to the director's work. A certain degree of difficulty."

"I didn't see that when you were interviewed before, you said that you don't plan to continue to be a director in the future?"

"That's right, I think my talent as a director is limited, and I can't afford it. Maybe one day I will change my mind, but I really don't have any plans to continue directing at the moment."

"Many people now say that you are a genius director, don't you think it's a pity to give up directing?"

Wei Yang smiled: "I can also participate in creation in other positions and bring good works to the audience."

Hostess: "A personal question, our director is very curious why you named the screenwriter Jiahui, what is your intention?"

"I don't have any special intentions, it's just a name I came up with when I was writing the script. If I had to find a reason, it might be because I like Mr. Leung Ka Fai, so I thought of this name in a flash of inspiration."

"We saw earlier that Mr. Leung Ka Fai is your favorite Hong Kong actor."

"Yes."

"What about mainland actors?"

"Teacher Li Xuejian, I admire him very much, oh, and Teacher Ge You, he didn't force me to say this (laughs)."

Someone asked this question during the road show. When Wei Yang answered it, Uncle Ge happened to be next to him. The old man was half-jokingly jealous on the spot.

So from then on, when Wei Yang talked about his favorite mainland actor, he added Uncle Ge. Of course, it was an equivalent exchange. In the future, Uncle Ge said that his most promising young actor in the Mainland must have the name of Wei Yang.

The interview lasted for half an hour, and Wei Yang answered many questions until the end, when the host asked the last question.

"May I ask if you have any ideas for the next movie?"

"Probably."

"When is it expected to be released?"

"After "Celebrating More Than Years", I will start a new movie. If there are no accidents, I should meet you next year."

"I look forward to your new work very much."

"Thank you."

"..."

After finishing the interview, Wei Yang has completely finished the promotion of "Rising Fame", and immediately started to prepare to return to Hengdian for filming.

This was originally expected to be a one-month leave. If the effect is too good, it will be delayed for more than ten days, and I will have to rush to work when I go back.

But before returning to Hengdian, Wei Yang went home to visit his parents.

It was said earlier that the parents moved to Shanghai, so they could meet more, but in fact, after the Spring Festival, I was busy with filming and promotion, so I really didn't have much time to spend with my parents.

But at least it's better than my hometown, at least I can take the time to go home and have a look, have a meal with me, and talk.

If you are in your hometown, you may not be able to have a meal with the old couple all year round.

Wei Yang drove to Yunhua Mansion, but found that his parents were not at home, so he asked the nanny, and said that Comrade Wei Shan was in the shop.

He could only put down the big and small bags he had bought, and Wei Yang drove away again. After walking for more than ten minutes, he stopped at the door of a [Mingxue Fruit Shop].

Coming down with a mask on, Wei Yang went into the store and took a look. He saw Old Comrade Wei sitting in front of the counter watching TV and at the same time settling accounts for a mother and daughter who bought fruit.

Wei Yang didn't bother, and took a look at the layout of the fruit shop by the way.

The store is actually not that big, about [-] to [-] square meters, and the layout is very delicate and clean. Various fresh fruits are displayed in it, and there are two freezers against the wall, where there are fruit plates that need to be refrigerated.

This is a new store created by the old couple in Weishan. The name of the store is to commemorate Mingxue Street where they have lived for decades in their hometown.

As I said before, the old couple are not too old, and they can't sit still at home every day, so they have been thinking about opening a shop, not trying to make money, but mainly looking for something to do.

Wei Yang didn't stop him, so he made a request that the business should not be cumbersome and tiring.

The old couple originally wanted to be a curtain or a dry cleaner in their old business.

But after investigating the market, I found that the level of their curtains in their hometown, even if they got magic, they would be hanged and beaten. Money, there is no need to ask for guilt.

So the old couple pondered for a long time, and they didn't know who they heard. They felt that the business of the fruit shop was good, and the customers were popular, not tired, and it saved the family's fruit money.

A full-time fruit shop, this kind of business is also opened in Shanghai in this era, and it would be dead in other cities.

Even in the magic capital, there are many things to pay attention to if you want to make money, but Wei Yang doesn't care, just tossing around for the old couple.

If the fruit can be sold, it will be sold, and if it cannot be sold, it will be directly pulled to companies such as Blue Whale and Red Shark to distribute benefits to employees.

Nowadays, Wei Yang has hundreds if not thousands of employees, and the fruit shop may not have enough goods.

With their son in the bag, the old couple of Wei Shan opened the shop, took turns to look at the shop every day, and hired two small workers.

Wei Yang is not too sure whether to make money or lose money. Anyway, the old couple has something to do and is full of energy, so he is very happy.

After paying the bill, the daughter of the mother and daughter seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and looked at Wei Yang with some hesitation, but she didn't dare to admit it after all, and left with her mother in a tangled state.

As soon as the two customers left, only Wei Shan was left in the store. Xiaogong went to eat lunch. Wei Yang took off his mask, took a plate of watermelon from the freezer, and ate it happily with a fork.

"I think the business of this store is average."

"Who comes to buy fruit at noon, there are many customers in the morning and evening, don't eat cold ones, cold stomach, if you want to eat, cut it now."

Wei Shan wanted to cut a fresh melon for his son with a knife, but Wei Yang stopped him, so he was greedy for the coolness.

"Did you have meal?"

"No, just come here."

"Then I'll call and ask Xiao Liu to bring you a copy."

"It's all right."

Wei Yang is not hungry, let alone eating watermelon. Compared with lunch, he is more curious about where his mother Wang Yunping has gone.

Under normal circumstances, my mother is either at home or in the fruit shop. She rarely goes out alone, and at most goes to the aunt's place for a visit.

"You don't know? Your mother has gone to Hengdian."

"What...cough cough."

Wei Yang was almost choked to death by the watermelon, and looked at his father in a daze: "Why did she go to Hengdian, didn't she call a few days ago to tell her that I was running a publicity campaign?"

"It's not for you. She went to visit the set. Isn't Liying filming there? Who knows how the two of them made up their minds. Liying sent someone to pick up your mother. It's been several days since she left."

Wei Shan explained, Wei Yang's scalp was blown, Liu Shishi is filming in Hengdian now, and Tang Yan is also here, so it won't happen...
