End of Chapter 38
At the banquet, Gu Wei was also very popular as the leading actor and investor. The actors in the movie got along very well during filming, and no one was too polite. Some of the crew members were different and came up one after another to toast. After all, as an investor, who knows when he will work for someone else.
Gu Wei is also open to everyone who comes. He has a good drinking capacity, and everyone else will drink to the point of toasting. On this occasion, with his status, no one except Han Sanping can make him drink more.
During this period, Gu Wei also went to Han Dong to propose a toast
"Xiao Gu, your acting is very good and your vision is not bad. I am optimistic about your future development.
If you have anything to do in the future, come to China Film Group to see me. I will also keep an eye out for any good roles China Film Group has in the future. ”
Director Han is also very optimistic about Gu Wei, mainly because [Embroidered Spring Knife] is also a project that Gu Wei picked up for him.
Because Lu Yang approached China Film and Television with the script for the first time. At that time, he was rejected, otherwise he would not have found a penny for more than a year.
The 15 million invested by Gu Wei, coupled with Lu Yang's own ability and background, made China Film make up its mind. After all, the risk was reduced.
Han Dong didn’t know that after two years of pulling, China Film finally invested 30 million. He just felt that Xiao Gu was a person who could help China Film. A good project.
"Dr. Han, you are honored. You are a senior in the industry. I have just entered the industry. I will need to learn more from you in the future. I still need your help in many places." Gu Wei said modestly.
"Well, young man, be more energetic. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me directly at China Film. I, Han Sanping, am still a bit thin in the industry." Mr. Han said with a smile.
He likes to support the younger generations and be a leader.
Soon, the lively celebration banquet will come to an end.
Gu Wei didn't drink much, but he was still very sober.
Lu Yang was completely drunk. He was the protagonist of the banquet. Too many people got close to him and toasted to him. Even though he had a good drinking capacity, he was still in a daze now.
Unable to say goodbye to Gu Wei, he got into the car and left with the help of his assistant.
Zhang Tianai didn’t drink much either. Thanks to Gu Wei’s help, everyone in the cast and crew of [Xiu Chun Dao] knew that she was Gu Wei’s girlfriend, so no one dared to trick her. She drinks.
Gu Wei couldn't announce the breakup loudly without anyone asking, so only Liu Yifei, who was sitting next to him, knew.
Zhang Tianai had a company car come to pick her up, and she said goodbye to Gu Wei.
"Goodbye, Gu Wei, I will work hard and look forward to the next time we meet."
Zhang Tianai said with a smile
Gu Wei thought for a moment and said, "I may have one next year. I’m looking for you to be the heroine in this drama. Don’t refuse me then.”
Gu Wei remembered that the novel “Prince Concubine’s Promotion” was among the copyrights acquired by the company.
Hearing this, Zhang Tianai’s smile became even brighter, like a blooming lily.
"I'm waiting for news about you," he said and turned around to get in the car.
Liu Yifei walked out of the door, "Hey~ My ex-girlfriend is still so reluctant to leave. Are you a long-term lover or a scumbag?"
"I am a long-term lover of sister Yifei. The heroine of my movie has been reserved for you."
Gu Wei knew that Liu Yifei would not be able to accept his movie, and he planned to film "Detective Chinatown" next year.
If the heroine of "Xiu Chun Knife" has a small role, then the heroine of "Detective Chinatown" is a complete show-off.
Moreover, it is a movie made by him as the director. If Liu Yifei can take it, it will be unless he can win her over and use her beauty to make her submit.
But beautiful words must be said, it is beneficial without cost.
"Don't, don't, let's leave your heroine to your ex-girlfriends. I'm just waiting to watch the drama directed by Mr. Gu."
After breaking up with Liu Yifei, Gu Wei also got in the car, and everyone dispersed after the song, and they had to go back to the hotel after driving around for a while.
I have to buy a house next year, it’s decided.
Another surprise for everyone at the celebration party was the red envelope given by the producer.
After all, when the movie sells well and makes money, the producer will generously send red envelopes to everyone on the crew, including the director and actors. Do you want to win over people's hearts? If you make a lot of money and let people drink the soup, they will also appreciate your kindness.
Gu Wei also received a red envelope, 500,000. It was not a small number, but he was not surprised. He had known it for a long time.
As an investor, China Film Group also negotiated with him. After all, the money for this red envelope was also paid out of the box office share.
In other words, everyone’s red envelope guardian paid 45% of the money.
As of the release of the movie, the total box office is 226.8 million.
Deduct 5% of the special project development fund and 3.3% of taxes.
The divisible box office is about 208 million. As a relatively strong distributor, China Film has negotiated a 53% share with theaters, and the distribution fee received by China Film as a distributor is 8%.
The final amount that could be obtained by the producer was 81.12 million. [Gu Wei Personal Studio] accounted for 45% of the total share, and received approximately 36.5 million.
With an investment of 15 million, it more than doubled in about half a year. He also became the leading actor in a popular movie and became a minor hit.
Well, this is probably the legendary win-win - I win twice.
The box office settlement time is generally within three months after the theatrical release. The China Film Group will cooperate with a third-party accounting firm to make the settlement. The account will then be divided into the public account of the producer, China Film Group, and then the producer will settle the account. The account of Gu Wei Studio.
The movie will end at the end of November, that is, before the Chinese New Year at the latest, and the money will be transferred to the public account of Gu Wei Company.
According to the contract signed before filming, the copyright of the film is jointly held by the two companies based on their shares, but the right to operate it belongs to China Film.
In addition to box office revenue, [Xiuchundao] also has overseas copyrights, video website broadcast rights, TV broadcast rights and peripheral product copyright fees, which can continue to bring income to Gu Wei.
Of course, these will not be sold in a short time. Basically, China Film will be fully responsible for it, and will eventually give him 45% of the copyright income.
The movie matter has basically been settled, and we will just wait for the money to arrive.
When the time came to December, Gu Wei once again turned down some film offers and returned to school as normal.
He looked at all the film invitations. After more than a month of movie screenings, he accumulated a lot of fame.
Some directors and companies in the industry have also affirmed his acting skills and popularity.
The people who send him invitations now are basically the leading male roles of some small productions, or the second and third male roles of big productions.
Production companies are no longer just small workshops that you have never heard of.
Some large and medium-sized film and television production companies in the industry also tentatively sent him some audition invitations.
Gu Wei still refused them all.
There is no way, Gu Wei is the one who opened the prophet after all. These invitations sent to him are either those that Gu Wei has never heard of, or he has some impressions. It seems that it has been broadcast on the TV station, but there is no Splashy.
If you are an ordinary actor, like Yang Zi, Zhang Yishan, etc., if a role comes to you, if the script is good and the money is good, then you will definitely take it.
Actors make their living by acting. It is only natural to make money from filming. As for whether the show will be popular or not, it all depends on God's will.
China shoots hundreds of TV series every year, nearly half of which cannot be broadcast, some cannot pass the review, some are filmed but have no broadcast channels, and some become the inventory of TV station film libraries.
The same is true for movies. Every year, a large number of movies are produced but cannot be released.
If it were any other actor, the main purpose of filming is to make money. As long as the producer pays the actor on time, he will leave after the filming, and the rest will have nothing to do with him.
But Gu Wei is different. It is still 12 years ago and actors' salaries have not soared yet. Gu Wei does not like the amount of money he can earn from filming now. He pays more attention to the return on his time.
Now that he knows what dramas are popular, he must star in popular dramas in the future, so that every one of his works can leave an impression on the audience.
The principle of accepting a film is to either do it for money or fame.
Since the producer cannot satisfy him financially under the current conditions, he can only raise his requirements and only make popular dramas.
