PFC Chapter 219 Little Fatty Qian
Chapter 219 Little Fatty Qian
Beijing is already getting hot in May, and several key projects here at Vision are being pushed forward at a rapid pace.
Counting the days, the crew has been in special training for a full month now.
Gu Heng called Wang Gang, and they drove to the military region to pick up the person.
Looking at the group of people in front of him, Gu Heng nodded to himself.
That's why actors are so versatile.
In just one month, the celebrity aura surrounding these people faded considerably, replaced by a crisp and decisive military bearing.
Each of them stood ramrod straight, their eyes sharpening.
Gu Heng got out of the car and said to everyone, "Thank you all for your hard work! You're all getting five days off!"
"Go home, take a good shower, have a nice meal, and relax!"
Although military training is over, even tougher days are yet to come.
Action scenes are the most important part.
For this matter, Gu Heng specially invited Yuen Woo-ping, the Eighth Master from Hong Kong, to come over.
This is the first sci-fi blockbuster in Chinese film history to be shot entirely in 3D, and it is also filled with a lot of exoskeleton mecha combat.
Gu Heng naturally wanted the action scenes to be more visually appealing.
The challenge was immediately placed on Master Ba's team.
After listening to Gu Heng's idea, Eighth Master simply adjusted his glasses and calmly said, "This job is very challenging for us."
Without saying a word, he and his team moved into the film crew's location.
Wow, that's what you call professional!
It was already evening when we got back to the courtyard house.
As soon as she stepped inside and put down her luggage, Yang Mi seemed to have all her strength drained away, collapsing straight onto the sofa.
Seeing Gu Heng sit down, she immediately sidled up to him, nestled her head in his lap, and refused to move an inch.
Neither of them spoke; they simply lay there quietly, enjoying the rare moment of peace and tranquility.
However, as he lay there, Gu Heng's hands became restless and slipped inside his clothes.
This touch had an unexpected effect; Gu Heng raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Great job, Boss Yang. This month of training hasn't been a waste of time."
Surprisingly, the little fox's waist, which was originally so slender, was now rock hard.
You can even vaguely feel the outline of the abs when you run your fingers over them.
As a result, the muscle lines in his shoulders and thighs have become much firmer and fuller.
Yang Mi noticed his movement, but instead of dodging, she arrogantly raised her chin.
"Don't touch me! I worked so hard to get this look!"
Yang Mi really put in a lot of effort to carry the role in "Edge of Tomorrow".
According to the promises Gu Heng made to her, once this role appeared on the big screen, it would be a "heartthrob"!
The little fox is now putting all its motivation into this.
Then Yang Mi grumbled, "When Little Fatty Qian comes to visit the set in a couple of days, I'm going to make her so envious she'll cry tears of joy!"
Gu Heng couldn't help but chuckle. Goodness.
When did Liu Qianqian become chubby Qianqian?
Just as they were arguing, their stomachs started rumbling at the same time.
Gu Heng patted her side.
"Go take a shower and wash off the sweat."
"Today, Chef Gu will personally cook a delicious meal to reward our hardworking Boss Yang!"
Upon hearing that there was something delicious to eat, Yang Mi's eyes lit up. She gave Gu Heng a quick kiss on the cheek and dashed into the bathroom like a spark.
More than half an hour later, when Yang Mi came out, the table was already full of food.
Braised pork ribs, braised prawns, and a stir-fried vegetable dish.
Some of the dishes looked so familiar that Yang Mi couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Eat up, eat as much as you want!"
Gu Heng placed a piece of pork rib on her plate. "You'll be joining a film crew for the next few months, eating nutritious meals every day. You won't be able to eat this well even if you wanted to!"
The little fox froze, suddenly finding the ribs in its hand no longer appealing.
He could only channel his grief and anger into his appetite, chewing so hard that the bones crunched, as if he were chewing Gu Heng's flesh.
By mid-May, "Source Code" had officially finished its theatrical run in North America.
The final box office figures were exactly $100 million, just barely passing the mark.
It's worth noting that the production cost of "Source Code" was a maximum of 70 million RMB, which is just over 10 million USD.
A tenfold return on box office revenue!
This is an absolute commercial miracle of achieving huge success with a small investment in Hollywood.
Not to mention the box office performance of China Film Group.
Other major players, such as Universal and Paramount, complained sourly at a Hollywood party.
Why should Warner Bros. get all the benefits?
That's incredibly unethical.
When the good news from Hollywood reached China, it caused an uproar.
The box office grossed $100 million in North America, plus the 610 million yuan already raked in domestically.
A group of people picked up calculators and started doing some quick calculations.
My Luo Tianyi!
The global box office is nearly 12.9 billion RMB!
The first Chinese film to gross over 10 billion yuan at the global box office was born!
Previously, everyone thought that Ning Hao's "Detective Chinatown" had already achieved a box office of 7.6 million yuan, which was already impressive. However, Gu Heng was even more impressive.
Now, the media is showering us with compliments like they're free.
Claims like "a milestone in Chinese-language science fiction films" and "Gu Heng single-handedly raised the ceiling for domestic films"...
On Sina Weibo, netizens were also excited.
Search volume for topics related to Gu Heng has skyrocketed.
At that time, Weibo did not have a trending topics feature.
Whether a topic goes viral or not depends entirely on users' own efforts to share and forward it.
But the popularity of "Source Code" was so overwhelming that Sina Weibo's product team had to hold an emergency meeting.
And so, Weibo's trending topics feature was created, almost two years earlier than expected, forced by the global box office success of "Source Code".
The first day of the trending topics feature.
The number one trending topic is #SourceCodeGlobalBoxOfficeOver12Billion#.
Meanwhile, Gu Heng's phone was constantly ringing during those days.
People in the industry, whether they knew each other or not, all lined up to send congratulatory messages.
Even Han Sanping was so amused on the phone that he swore several times.
He was the loudest laugher in the entire China Film Group building.
