Chapter 39 Script
Although he did not accept any more roles, he read the endorsement invitations compiled by his agent.
The brands this time are relatively reliable. There are several brands that everyone is familiar with. This is also the benefit of being famous.
The greater your reputation, in addition to invitations from film producers, you will also get favor from brands.
Of course, Gu Wei's reputation is still very average now, mainly because he has a good reputation and his popularity among the people is too low.
Who asked him to make a movie? If there is a popular TV series, the national popularity will skyrocket. Endorsement fees will also skyrocket.
The small brands that approached him basically paid about 2 million a year, and they all offered one-year contracts. They probably only offered short-term contracts because they saw too few of his works and were afraid that he would be just a flash in the pan. .
The endorsement fee for big brands is less, about 3 million in two years.
Of course, he is not the only spokesperson for big brands, he is just one of the spokespersons for the following sub-products.
The main reason is because his recent movies are popular, and he wants to use his popularity to bring a wave of popularity. This endorsement fee is not in the eyes of big companies.
After discussion with the agent, there is further communication with the brand.
Gu Wei has accepted endorsements from 5 brands including Colgate, Semir, Joyoung Soymilk, Liushen and Rejoice.
The endorsement fee for each company ranges from 1.5 million to 2 million, and a one-year endorsement contract is signed.
Gu Wei signed a contract with the brand in the form of a company, and the total endorsement fee of 9 million will be transferred to the company account according to the requirements of the contract.
This has an advantage. The endorsement fee will be used as part of the company's income and will be paid when the company files its corporate tax return, which is more convenient.
What’s more, when you buy a car, a house or even make a donation in the name of your company in the future, you can offset part of the tax.
In December, Gu Wei resumed his normal life of studying at school.
I only occasionally have to go out to shoot advertisements for endorsing products. These are relatively simple. They are basically flat photos, and at most they are short videos with some plot. It won't take him much time.
9 million yuan in endorsement fees was received, and the company's accounts were relatively comfortable again. There was still 3 million yuan left on the account from the previous loan of 8 million yuan.
Yang Liwen used the money to purchase the copyright as requested by Wei Wei.
"Gu Wei, why haven't I seen you out recently?" After class, while Gu Wei was still sorting the books on the table, Nazha came over and asked.
"I haven't had much to do recently. I've finished handling the movie "Xiu Chun Knife" and I haven't taken on any new movies, so I naturally have time." Gu Wei replied.
"I'm not asking you this, I'm asking you why you didn't go out to find a girlfriend. It turns out that you are basically nowhere to be seen on campus except during class. Do you think I don't know you are going? What are you doing?”
Nazha pouted, she was also experienced in this. After class, the two of them disappeared without even seeing each other. They were just two people.
Gu Wei is not right now. He is not in a hurry to leave after class. He has time to play basketball and chat with his classmates.
"Is your girlfriend going out to film?" Nazha asked.
"Okay, I know what you want to ask, we broke up." Gu Wei spread his hands and said indifferently.
Although Nazha had expected it, the surprise came a bit suddenly.
She controlled her emotions and asked calmly, "What happened? Did you cheat on me? Didn't you hear about it? Or is there something wrong with her?"
"Don't guess, it's all It’s nothing. Don’t you know what kind of person I am? If I could cheat on you, I would cheat on you. It’s okay for her, but we are not suitable. It’s a peaceful breakup.”
After thinking for a while, he said, "She is a very nice person. We don't have any conflicts. We can still be friends even if we can't be lovers."
"Oh, I understand." I don't know what Nazha understood.
"Okay, let's not talk anymore. They are still waiting for me to play basketball." Gu Wei had already packed up his books and walked out with his bag on his back.
Behind him, the corners of Naza's mouth turned higher and higher, and she could no longer control her smile.
After class that day, Gu Wei made an appointment with his driver, Master Zhang, to pick him up. After a while, the car drove downstairs to the company.
When he came to the company, the agent came to the office to see him.
"Have you found the person I asked you to find?"
Gu Wei asked. "We have already found them, Mr. Gu. They were already here before you came and are waiting in the conference room now."
Yang Liwen replied.
"Okay, come with me to meet them."
There were two people sitting in the conference room, a middle-aged man who looked about 40 years old, slightly fat, not tall, with sparse hair and dark skin. , wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses on his face. Wearing a green vest, he would pick up the thermos cup in front of him from time to time and take a sip.
The other one is a lady who looks young. Although she looks ordinary, she is dressed very delicately. She is sitting side by side with a middle-aged man across a chair, focusing on her mobile phone. type.
Gu Wei and Yang Liwen pushed open the door and entered the conference room.
The two people in the room stood up when they saw this. Yang Liwen took a step forward and said, "This is Mr. Gu of our company."
"Mr. Gu, this is Yang Tao, Teacher Yang." Yang Liwen introduced to the middle-aged man.
"Hello, Mr. Gu" Teacher Yang stood beside him, bent down slightly and stretched out his hand.
"Teacher Yang, welcome." Gu Wei also stretched out his hand to shake his hand.
"This is Cai Xiaojing, Teacher Cai."
"Hello, Teacher Cai." Cai Xiaojing stood far away, and Gu Wei did not shake hands but greeted with a smile.
"Mr. Gu, you must be Gu Wei, the one who plays 'Shen Lian'!" Cai Xiaojing recognized Gu Wei at once.
"Yes, it's me" Gu Wei replied with a smile.
"That's great. I like the movie "Xiuchundao" very much. I think your role as 'Shen Lian' is so handsome. Can you sign your autograph for me later?" Cai Xiaojing looked cheerful. looked like and made his request.
"Of course. After we finish talking about the work, I will sign it for you, Mr. Cai."
As he spoke, he stretched his hand forward and said
"You two, please take a seat."
After everyone sat down, Gu Wei continued to say
"What are you doing here? Mr. Yang must have told you before."< br>
The two nodded after listening.
"Well, I won't say any more nonsense. I have a story in my mind. I have already made the outline of the story and roughly sketched part of the specific plot.
But after all, I'm not a professional screenwriter, so I can't make the script perfect. Both of them are big names in the industry. I invited you two to help me complete this script. I hope you can use your professional skills to put it in my mind. The story here is completely presented in the script. "
Gu Wei must be complimenting two people by saying this.
He has seen the resumes of both of them. They are from the literature department and have worked as screenwriters for movies and TV series. But in the screenwriting world, they are also He is a middle- and lower-class character.
The scripts he has written are all not well-known, and his signature is late. At first glance, he looks like a 'Party B' who does all the work himself and has to let others do various things. If you find faults, others will take all the fame.
Real screenwriters will not take on Gu Wei's job.
"Understood, Mr. Gu, I am familiar with this job." Yang Tao replied.
Cai Xiaojing also nodded.
After working in the industry for so many years, they also understood what Gu Wei meant.
To put it bluntly, Gu Wei asked them to be the 'shooters' and write the script for him.
Gu Wei provides the money, they contribute the effort, and the work is over once they write a satisfactory script. All signatures, copyrights, etc. in the later scripts belong to Gu Wei and have nothing to do with them.
They didn't have any objections. It wasn't their first time doing this job, and Gu Wei had given him more.
