Chapter 404: A Long and Unstoppable Journey

The story of "Time Travel Cohabitation" is not complicated. It tells a story of love that transcends time and space.

The whole movie is divided into two timelines, one of which is in 2014, which can be referred to as [original time and space].

The heroine Gu Xiaojiao was originally a rich girl. When she was a teenager in the 1990s, her father died in an accident and her family went bankrupt.

The accident was actually a conspiracy against Gu's father's company, and a new designer Lu Ming was forced to be involved.

Lu Ming had nothing to do with the matter, but he accidentally discovered the conspiracy. Under coercion and inducement, he became a silent "accomplice" and took this opportunity to get support and develop all the way to a high position. More than a decade later, he became a well-known real estate tycoon.

At the same time, Gu Xiaojiao, who had grown up, was not so lucky and became a leftover woman who had accomplished nothing.

Her usual wish was to marry a rich man and redeem her old house.

At this time, "Lu Ming", who had achieved success and changed his name to Lu Shiyi, got the opportunity to connect time and space. In order to make his career further, he planned to connect to the future nineteen years later to get the information and technology of the future.

As a result, an unexpected error occurred during the implementation. Time and space did not connect to the future, but connected to the past without his knowledge.

So the second time and space of the main line of the movie appeared, that is, 1995, which can be called [New Time and Space].

At this time, Gu's father had not had an accident, Gu Xiaojiao was a carefree rich girl, and Lu Ming had not turned evil, but was a simple and kind workplace rookie who worked diligently and hoped to make a name for himself one day.

The two time and space journeys were connected, and the connection point happened to be the house where Gu Xiaojiao lived in 2014 [Original Time and Space], and also the residence of Lu Ming in 1995 [New Time and Space].

Under the influence of the power of time and space, the house was split in half and became a similar existence to a transfer station in time and space.

Gu Xiaojiao and Lu Ming also accidentally achieved time and space cohabitation, and they can travel to each other's time and space through the door, and then a series of stories will happen.

Whenever it involves time and space, especially this kind of two-way time and space, its setting cannot be too simple.

Because there are many plot changes, the setting is easy to be full of loopholes, but it cannot be too complicated, otherwise many viewers will not understand it.

Boss Wei never underestimates the audience's knowledge reserves. This world is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are countless big bosses and masters.

When writing the script, Wei Yang and the screenwriter team specifically found experts to discuss the topic of time and space, which made people dizzy and their heads buzzed after they came back.

But he will not overestimate the overall audience's appreciation level.

Because there are many capable people, ordinary people still occupy the majority, and the purpose of commercial films is to make money, so they will inevitably take care of the public, rather than blindly showing off their skills.

Although the background of "Super Time and Space Cohabitation" is time and space, it does not dwell on this setting.

When the plot unfolds, it is more about the emotional line of the male and female protagonists, as well as the redemption and correction of the main plot.

The funny daily life and personality interaction between the male and female protagonists in two time and space backgrounds can be said to be the biggest selling point of this drama.

Fan Xiaopang and Wei Yang are both very likable, one is bold and lively, and the other is silly and honest.

The former is actually okay. "My Love from the Star" showed Fan Xiaopang's carefree and somewhat funny personality. Later, in order to fit the public impression, she occasionally leaned towards this aspect more or less.

So in everyone's impression, this role is not to say that Fan Xiaopang is playing himself, but it is actually quite similar.

And Fan Xiaopang not only performed Gu Xiaojiao's appearance, but also interpreted his inner self.

The vain and bold appearance is actually the anxiety of gain and loss. It seems to be beaten by life, but it always maintains clumsy and kind efforts.

There are many highlights of Fan Xiaopang in this drama, but Wei Yang's personal favorite is the shot where he speaks the suppressed truth after being drunk, and shouts "I am the most beautiful in the world" with a silly smile, which directly makes this character alive.

In comparison, the role of Lu Ming seems a bit "thin", and the whole movie is about being honest and kind.

It seems that there is not much room for performance as Fan Xiaopang, but don't forget that he plays two roles.

Lu Ming is naive, while the blackened Lu Shiyi is a black-hearted capitalist.

He is ruthless and steady, decisive, and his eyes are full of interests. Every move is a killer move, and he eats everyone to death.

Always believe in the ability of Boss Wei to play a big boss, and his gestures are full of masculine charm and domineering momentum.

Moreover, this time he looks like a villain, and he deliberately wears glasses and a decent and neat suit. He has a bit of the gloomy style of a gentleman, which makes many female audiences scream and shout "Brother, kill me".

From the overall appearance and visual effects, there is no doubt that Lu Shiyi has the upper hand.

Later, when the movie became a hit, the prototype of the character, a real estate tycoon, even joked on Weibo that his handsome appearance really brought him a great psychological burden on his image.

But what many people, even Wei Yang himself, did not expect was that Lu Ming was more popular than Lu Shiyi.

To be honest, Wei Yang played Lu Ming very funny, with a little stupidity and shyness, especially when he was teased by Gu Xiaojiao, he was a bit like a little puppy bullied by a big sister.

This is very different from Wei Yang's previous roles and real image.

Wei Yang has been in the industry for so many years, and the roles he played are all relatively strong. Even if he is a student, he is a problem thorn.

Other aliens, overbearing CEOs, princes and emperors, male protagonists of cool novels, screenwriter detectives, may have various personalities and characters, but they are all so-called male protagonists.

Not to mention in real life, serious overbearing CEOs are usually known for their stability, maturity and high emotional intelligence.

So everyone felt an unprecedented sense of contrast from the "little milk dog" in "Super Time and Space Cohabitation".

No matter how handsome and temperamental Lu Shiyi is, he is at most on par with Professor Gu, Li Chengyin and other characters.

But who has ever seen Boss Wei with a pure and ignorant face, blushing when being teased by a big sister, and looking like a shy young boy.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that everyone is very tolerant and praises Lu Ming.

Especially the remarks of some female hooligans, the related imaginations about "Boss Wei's version of the little milk dog" are simply unbearable to look at, and even Boss Wei blushed a little when he saw it.

But then again, a movie with love as the main line is more than half successful if the male and female protagonists are outstanding.

And the main line of the movie is also well completed.

At the end of the movie, Lu Ming made a different choice for Gu Xiaojiao at a critical point and chose to save Gu's father.

This was Gu Xiaojiao's greatest wish, to let his father and himself at that time live happily and have a fairly complete life.

But this also caused time and space changes, and the fate of the relevant people changed. Gu Xiaojiao and Pan Shiyi in the [original time and space] in 2014 disappeared.

Or maybe they did not disappear, but they could not travel through time and space, and the two parties no longer existed in the same time and space, and the two people in love would never see each other again in this life.

This is Lu Ming's redemption of Gu Xiaojiao, changing the other party's future, and it is also a redemption for himself.

Lu Ming chose a path that follows his heart, allowing his originally blackened self to correct his life.

And the end of the movie did not reach a be ending.

In the [new time and space] in 1995, Lu Ming, who chose a different path, met the grown-up Gu Xiaojiao again many years later, and perhaps a new story would unfold.

This ending is relatively open, and it satisfies the audience who likes be and he at the same time, and they can also derive their own understanding, and can also increase the discussion.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!

…

"This movie is not bad."

In the cinema, Liu Tianxian wiped her eyes emotionally. Girls tend to have weaker resistance to this kind of love movie, and it is common for them to be moved to tears.

She didn't pay much attention to this movie at first, and even had some fault-finding mentality at the beginning, but she didn't know when she got into the plot, and she cried along with the plot in the later stage.

Naza next to her was fine, her eyes were just a little red.

It was mainly because of Fan Xiaopang who was defeated in the movie. If Wei Yang died for love, she would definitely cry a lot more.

Deng Chao was the calmer one among the few people. He didn't feel too deeply about this movie, and appreciated some of the comedy scenes in it.

The various jokes about time and space in it made him laugh, and other jokes were also funny, especially the quarrel sentence "You are far worse than Li Bingbing", which almost sent him away.

Deng Chao was from Huayi back then. When he joined, Fan Xiaopang was already ready to run away, so he was quite familiar with the grievances between the two Bingbings.

These two are real mortal enemies!

It's fine that Fan Xiaopang made fun of himself in the movie, which is not uncommon in many movies, but it's really sharp to use a mortal enemy to play a joke.

Deng Chao really admires Wei Yang. How much ability does it take for him to dare to write this line in front of Fan Xiaopang, and finally persuade him to edit this into the feature film.

Na Zha and Liu Tianxian were actually shocked by this. If they put themselves in her shoes, they might not be able to bear it.

Liu Tianxian is okay. She doesn't have many mortal enemies. Even though she and Liu Shishi are a bit confrontational now, there is no big hatred. At most, they are competitors, not mortal enemies.

And Na Zha put herself in her shoes. If it was Rouba, she could barely tolerate it with the mediation of Boss Wei.

But if it was Sister Shuangzi, there would be no room for negotiation. Wei Yang's beauty trick would be useless...

"There are laughter and tears, and the quality is not bad. Our movie is in danger."

Deng Chao did not forget the purpose of spying on the enemy today. He was a little lucky when buying the ticket just now, but now he feels much heavier after watching the movie.

According to his personal experience, with the popularity of Wei and Fan and the violent publicity campaign, the box office of this quality movie will never be low.

300 million?

Deng Chao couldn't help shaking his head. Apart from other things, the reputation accumulated by "Famous" alone, under the premise of guaranteed film quality, the conversion rate will definitely exceed imagination.

500 million? !

Deng Chao gave a bold and conservative estimate.

He is bold because at this stage, Chinese-language movies with a box office of over 500 million are considered to be very excellent movies, and there are only about a handful of them in the entire Chinese-language film industry.

He is conservative because Wei Yang is different from ordinary filmmakers after all, and this year is another year of box office explosion.

The first part of "Tiny Times" can break 500 million, and Zhao's directorial debut has cut 700 million+ box office. Wei Yang's new work has many advantages, and it is more marketable than the above two films.

But whether it is bold or conservative, the box office of "Time Raiders" will not be too bad, which means that the screening schedule of "Four Famous Detectives 2" will be greatly reduced.

Originally, this movie could easily break 200 million, and there was hope for 300 million.

But now it has encountered "Time Travel" and the two fierce tigers behind it, so the hope is slim.

Liu Tianxian hoped that this movie would allow her to show her face more, not to mention a comeback, but at least stabilize the decline.

Deng Chao was not as miserable as her, but after all, it was a movie with himself as the core. He also sincerely hoped that the movie would perform better and give him more confidence and resume.

However, now that the dream has been shattered, they are now hoping that the schedule will not be cut too much, at least breaking the 200 million guarantee.

Except for the heartless happy for Wei Yang, everyone else returned to the hotel with a lot of thoughts, and some people even stayed up until midnight before falling asleep.

The next morning, the creators of "The Four" were caught up in a new day of publicity work.

It's just that everyone has a small episode, which is to care about the first-day box office and schedule changes of "Time Travel Together".

The news of the first-day box office was released in the early hours of last night, but many data sources are not accurate, so it can't be taken seriously.

It was not until this morning that the official Weibo of "Time Travel Together" announced that it was the official data.

74.88 million!

It is a pity that it did not break the first-day box office record of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", and was even half a point behind "Tiny Times".

But no one would think that this box office is low, and even for the creators of "The Four 2", they are almost jealous.

"Tiny Times" peaked at the beginning, and the box office data line is completely different from most movies, and there is no reference.

Normally, with the quality, lineup and related publicity strategies of "Time Travel Cohabitation", as long as the reputation is stable, it will never end up like "Tiny Times".

This also means that the box office data of "Time Travel Cohabitation" is probably better than many people think.

And what Deng Chao and others worried about really happened. Seeing the fierce momentum of "Time Travel Cohabitation", the theater chain quickly adjusted the screening.

Its screening rate on the third day directly exceeded 50%, and even approached 55% at one point.

Again, "The Four 2" and other three movies are more or less stumbling, otherwise it is possible to get 65% of the screening.

But now it is not easy. The schedule of "The Four" was not cut in half, but it was cut by more than half.

The enthusiasm of the creators for the road show was extinguished. They muddled through their days and watched "Time Travel" continue to rise.

On December 14, Saturday, the single-day box office of "Time Travel" reached 96.48 million.

The next weekend, the single-day box office returned to around 80 million.

Although it did not set a record of breaking the 100 million mark in a single day, the crazy performance of "Time Travel" in three days of 250 million box office still shocked the entire film industry.

Boss Wei's name became the most dazzling existence in the entertainment industry at this time...
