Chapter 38 Jing Tian's Sense of Crisis
Chapter 38 Jing Tian's Sense of Crisis
Time flies, and April 1st, April Fool's Day, has arrived.
Donglaishun hot pot private room.
A round table, a copper hot pot.
Gu Qingshan, Jing Tian, Lu Shan, Chai Biyun, Kan Qingzi, and Shuang Meizi sat around a round table.
Everyone's face was filled with joy.
"Come on, let's celebrate our movie breaking 200 million at the box office!" Jing Tian filled his glass with wine, stood up, and his eyes curved into crescent moons.
"Cheers!" Lu Shan laughed.
"Cheers!" the others exclaimed.
Gu Qingshan's lips curled up slightly, revealing an indescribable smugness.
Just yesterday, "Love is Not Blind" officially ended its theatrical run, with its box office totaling 2.01 million yuan.
"CJ7" grossed 2.09 million yuan, taking the top spot at the box office during its release period. "Love is Not Blind" came in second place, slightly behind.
As for "Kung Fu Dunk," it earned 1.1 million, making it a big winner as well.
This is the first time that three films have grossed over 100 million yuan at the same time during this period.
So much so that some media outlets exclaimed, "The Spring Festival film season is here!"
Gu Qingshan was extremely satisfied with this result.
Of the 2.01 million yuan box office, 6635.4 million yuan went to the production company, while Gu Qingshan received 50% of it, which is 3317.7 million yuan.
Two movies, achieving half a small goal.
It feels like a dream. After restarting my life for half a year, I have a net worth of 50 million yuan and a beautiful woman by my side.
Everyone was in a good mood, enjoying hot pot with mutton and drinking.
After the meal, everyone drank three bottles of beer.
Then everyone went to karaoke, and they kept encountering reporters taking photos of them.
Gu Qingshan didn't care. After all, he wasn't a celebrity and wasn't afraid of scandals.
That night, in the early hours of the morning, Gu Qingshan and his friends did not return to school but stayed at a hotel.
With their parting imminent, Jing Tian was much more proactive than usual, and Gu Qingshan took the opportunity to unlock a new pose.
This dancer has a great figure and flexibility far exceeding that of ordinary people, allowing her to perform many difficult moves.
After a thoroughly enjoyable battle, the alcohol had mostly worn off, and the two took a shower and lay in bed embracing each other.
"I'm not on set, so you're not allowed to flirt with other women, or else..." Jing Tian seized on Gu Qingshan's weakness, threatening him with a look on his face.
Gu Qingshan quickly replied, "How could I dare? Besides, Lu Shan and Kan Qingzi are both your spies, how could I not behave!"
"Hmph, those two girls are probably itching to get into your bed. Don't think I don't know what they're thinking." Jing Tian sneered. "They have so many suitors, and they haven't agreed to any of them. Aren't they just after you?"
Female students in the performing arts department never lack suitors.
Each of them has many suitors.
Jing Tian may seem naive, but he's actually very clear-headed.
If she hadn't been watching him closely, Gu Qingshan would have been surrounded by guards.
Look at the movie premiere and celebration banquet; every single one of the female celebrities who attended seemed to want to devour Gu Qingshan whole.
Gu Qingshan is now a hot commodity, like Tang Monk's flesh!
Gu Qingshan gently stroked Jing Tian's back. "Am I that kind of person? I wouldn't even look at the others in your class, but I have very high standards for your boyfriend."
Whether it's Lu Shan, Chai Biyun, Kan Qingzi, or Zheng Shuang, none of them are as good-looking as Jing Tian.
In fact, in Jing Tian's class, Gu Qingshan thought Xu Xing, Zhang Qianru, and Long Yu were all prettier than them.
Gu Qingshan wasn't someone who would take advantage of anyone indiscriminately.
"You don't have feelings for Shuang? Otherwise, why would you choose her as the female lead?" Jing Tian gently bit Gu Qingshan's chest.
Gu Qingshan immediately became eager to survive and quickly said, "That's just a low-budget TV series, and you wouldn't even look at it. Why let the good stuff go to outsiders? I chose her because she's your roommate."
Gu Qingshan felt that if his answer displeased Jing Tian, he might get bitten until he bled.
......
The next morning, after a vigorous morning workout, Gu Qingshan took a shower and left the hotel, taking a plane to Jiangcheng.
After checking in and putting away their luggage, Gu Qingshan brought Lu Shan and Chai Biyun to the film set.
The production team is ready and can start filming at any time.
Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang arrived at the film set last night.
Since Gu Qingshan returned to Beijing, he immediately began preparing for the film crew, and the Ministry of Commerce also discussed product placement.
Milk, airlines, Nokia phones, Lenovo computers, Coca-Cola, and other brands brought in 2000 million yuan in revenue. It can be said that before filming even started, "Lost in Thailand" had already broken even and made a huge profit.
This can be attributed to the immense popularity of Gu Qingshan's novels "Night Shop" and "Love is Not Blind".
One advantage of shooting modern films and television shows is the revenue from product placement of GG (Goblin).
Many movies don't actually make money from box office revenue alone, but they do make money if you include GG revenue.
In fact, a significant number of films were able to raise funds for production because they received sponsorship from Google.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
The press conference for the start of filming of "Lost in Thailand" was held.
In addition to the invited reporters, Gu Qingshan also randomly selected some movie fans to attend the press conference.
Reporters with microphones were frequently seen entering the hotel, followed by photographers.
Movie fans came in in twos and threes, and some who had never been to a five-star hotel before looked around from time to time.
"I'm so lucky, I was selected as soon as I applied."
"Gu Qingshan is really prolific. His movie 'Love is Not Blind' just finished its run, and he's already starting filming a new movie."
"I love Gu Qingshan's portrayal of Wang Xiaojian the most. Why don't I have a Wang Xiaojian in my life?"
"I wonder if Jing Tian will still be the lead this time. Jing Tian's portrayal of Huang Xiaoxian was superb."
The fans who came to the press conference for the start of filming were all young men and women.
Only young people have the time and energy to follow celebrities.
Reporters and fans were guided to the venue, which was large enough to accommodate thousands of people and was very well decorated.
The photographer took a good position and began adjusting the camera.
Reporters and fans took their seats, but the main cast and crew hadn't arrived yet, and they were all chattering away.
"I wonder if this will be a comedy? And will Jing Tian still be the female lead?"
"Idiot, look at the poster. Those are Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang. Their outfits are obviously comedic. Don't you find it funny just looking at their poster?"
"The female lead is definitely not Jing Tian, otherwise why would the poster only feature Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang?"
"Xu Zheng's 'Night Shop' is really funny, and Wang Baoqiang's 'Shagen' and 'Xu Sanduo' are also very memorable."
"Director Gu Qingshan is a top-notch director of comedy films, and his acting is superb. Will he be playing a role this time?"
"Why is Director Gu Qingshan still making comedies? He should be making art films instead; they're so much more sophisticated."
"I'd love for him to make a sci-fi film, or even a period epic."
"Tsk tsk tsk, 'Love is Not Blind' has grossed over 200 million yuan, second only to Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang."
"Love is Not Blind is really well made. Huang Xiaoxian and Wang Xiaojian are classic characters, I love them so much. I watched it three times during the Spring Festival with my lucky money. Especially Wang Xiaojian, he's a bit cheeky, but he silently protects Huang Xiaoxian, and in the end it's very heartwarming. He seems a bit effeminate, but he's actually very manly!"
