Chapter 217 Consolidating Friendship
In a studio full of green curtains, the male protagonist "Song Tianyin" played by Gu Wei went through a series of fights, with scars all over his face and a penetrating wound from a sword on his chest.
He stood up from the ground, picked up the sword in his hand, and performed an awkward posture like broadcast gymnastics. In the play, this was called the Song Family Ten-Duanjin, and he rushed through the messy venue. He went over and thrust his sword decisively at the empty opposite side.
Then he kicked forward with both feet, as if he had hit something, and pulled out the sword with the help of the wire rope behind him.
The acting was a bit awkward, as if he was fighting an invisible thing, but in fact in the film this scene was Gu Wei killing a huge monster.
"Ka! Very good, this time it's better than before. It's over, it's done!"
The director's voice came, and the staff on the side hurried forward to help Gu Wei untie the rope from his body. .
Today is February 5th. [Monster Hunt] was originally scheduled to be filmed for a month, but it actually took more than 20 days to complete all the reshoots.
In the evening, the film's producer Jiang Zhiqiang, director Xu Chengyi and several other creative members of the crew, plus Gu Wei and Bai Baihe, had a finals banquet together.
At the table, Mr. Jiang took the lead in raising his glass and said with emotion:
"This is the first time I have held two closing parties for a movie.
The production process of our movie was bumpy. It started preparation in 2010 and was completed at the end of 2013.
< br>If there were no accidents, the movie should be released in the Lunar New Year period this year.
Unfortunately, this is a disaster that none of us could have predicted.
But then again. What can be done?
Things have come to this, and no one can stop it. The film must continue to be filmed, and all of our hard work cannot be wasted.
Fortunately, we have the help of everyone here, including our Director Xu, Lily, and most importantly, the participation of Gu Wei.
In less than a month, [Monster Hunt] has been re-produced. This is the result of the joint efforts of everyone in the crew.
I, Jiang, am here to express my deep gratitude to everyone!
Thank you for everyone’s contribution to the film along the way.
I also believe that the work we have completed together is excellent and great, and will definitely achieve unprecedented success as its predecessor.
Thank you everyone! ”
After saying that, Jiang Zhiqiang drank down the small glass of liquor in his hand.
The crew sitting on the table shouted hello one after another, including director Xu Chengyi, screenwriter Yuan Jinlin, cinematographer Pan Yaoming, etc. The senior members of the crew were deeply touched by Jiang Zhiqiang's words.
[Monster Hunting] was very difficult to film. It can be said to be troubled, with various things happening from the beginning of preparation. .
The production was finally completed, but due to force majeure, the leading actor needed to be replaced.
For such a large-scale production with an investment of more than 200 million, changing the leading actor after the filming is completed would be like reshooting the entire movie.
Everyone would collapse if this kind of thing happened to them.
Fortunately, Jiang Zhiqiang withstood the pressure. With a wave of his hand, he took out another sum of money and raised the cost to 350 million. He was determined to complete the movie.
Gu Wei, who was toasting with everyone at the table, was a bit out of tune with everyone's emotions. After all, he had only filmed for more than 20 days in total, and he had never participated in any of the previous ones.
I even feel that this movie is the shortest one I have ever shot. Although the daily shooting tasks are very heavy, it is not difficult. The movie was actually shot in more than 20 days.
The crew received a salary of 30 million yuan in such a short period of time, which is a bit too cost-effective.
When he first took on this role, he had not thought about whether to convert the remuneration into investment, but seeing the cost of 350 million, even if the remuneration was converted, it would only be 8.5%.
Based on the box office of the original version of 2.4 billion, the final box office share that the producers can get is about more than 800 million, and the investment ratio of 8.5% can be divided into about 68 million.
It is more than double his current salary.
But the money will not be available until the box office returns after the movie is released, which may not be until a year later at the earliest.
Besides, it is unknown whether the final box office of this movie was falsified, and the amount of the falsification was unknown.
After this calculation, this trip into troubled waters was really not worth it. With 30 million in hand, Gu Wei bought a stock of Moutai, and it doubled in a year.
After Mr. Jiang started, the atmosphere at the wine table slowly became warmer. After the filming of the movie was over, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Wei also received toasts from these people on the crew. Although it was only a short period of more than 20 days, everyone noticed Gu Wei's performance on the crew.
He has the professionalism and acting skills of a big star, but does not have the pomp and airs of a big star. Everyone has a very good impression of him.
"Gu Wei, thank you very, very much for coming to help!
Saving a scene is like putting out a fire.
You were able to take on this drama and now you are doing so with your excellent performance I am very grateful for the completion of the shooting.
If there is anything I, Jiang Zhiqiang, can do to help in the future, just ask.”
As he said this, he toasted Gu Wei with a glass of wine.
“Mr. Jiang, I am so embarrassed. You are a senior in the film and television industry, and asking me to film is also a kind of affirmation for me.
Besides, [Monster Hunt] is a good movie. Movie, Director Xu is such an excellent director.
My coming here is just the icing on the cake, not as important as you said."
Gu Wei said modestly.
When Jiang Zhiqiang said this, how could Gu Wei take it seriously? Everyone was just talking politely.
While Gu Wei was exchanging glasses with Mr. Jiang, Director Xu Chengyi also smiled and toasted to Gu Wei.
Obviously, a large part of Jiang Zhiqiang's favorable impression of Gu Wei comes from Director Xu, who really thinks highly of Gu Wei.
At the banquet, everyone drank and drank, and Gu Wei also drank a few more glasses.
Bai Lily, who was sitting next to her, didn’t drink much. She took a small sip every time she raised her glass. She was the only woman on the table, so no one cared about her.
She wore a black slim-fitting dress today. The shoulder openings were splayed diagonally, exposing one shoulder. Her long wavy hair was spread out, with air bangs in front of her forehead.
The exposed skin is white and smooth, and the facial features are exquisite. When she smiles, she reveals her small white teeth, which gives her a beauty like Xiaojiabiyu.
She didn't talk much at the table, but looked at Gu Wei sitting next to her from time to time.
Bai Lily's senses for Gu Wei are very good. Before filming, she had watched all Gu Wei's works, movies and TV series.
I have a great interest in this male star who is only 22 years old and has already achieved good results in the industry.
Of course, the most important thing is that Gu Wei's appearance is good enough, and it is entirely based on her aesthetics.
This time the two of them collaborated on a movie and got to know Gu Wei up close, and found that his real figure and appearance are better than what he showed in the idol TV series.
While filming, the two of them were going back and forth, and Bai Lily felt a little itchy in her heart.
Although in real life, the general public opinion is that men are more lustful, there are very few female gangsters.
But in fact, women are more enthusiastic about chasing good-looking men than men.
In other words, as long as you are handsome enough, women are actually more lustful.
This can also explain why the most enthusiastic fans of stars are little girls.
Because "brother" is so handsome.
Bai Lily is no exception. Although she has a family and children, she and her husband have long been apart from each other.
Everyone plays their own thing and no one cares about anyone else. This is not a secret in the entertainment industry.
It's just that the two of them have to do business as a loving couple in public places. After all, the public likes to see this, and it's all for profit.
Maybe it’s because the more you lack something, the more you want to find it. Bai Lily likes young and handsome guys the most, and Gu Wei’s conditions couldn’t be more perfect for her.
What just made her a little discouraged was that after more than 20 days of getting along, when they occasionally took a break and chatted, she also said some flirtatious words to Gu Wei, but Gu Wei never followed up.
This also made her doubt her own charm.
It was getting late and the closing dinner was over. Gu Wei stood up and said goodbye to Mr. Jiang, Director Xu and others at the table.
Bai Lily also stood up and followed him.
Gu Wei didn't pay attention, and the two of them quickly returned to the hotel room.
As the male and female protagonists of the movie, their rooms must be the best in the hotel, and they are also on the same floor.
"Sister Baihe, I am very happy to work with you this time. I hope I will have the opportunity to work with you again in the future."
Gu Wei looked at Bai Lily, said politely, and prepared to open the door and enter the house.
"I'm a little thirsty after drinking so much wine. Gu Wei, can you come to your room for a drink of water?"
Bai Lily did not answer Gu Wei's question, but took a step forward. , pressed against Gu Wei's front, raised his head slightly to look at his charming face, and asked.
"This? It's too late, it's not good~"
Gu Wei said hesitantly.
"What's wrong with drinking water~"
Bai Lily urged.
Reluctantly, Gu Wei turned around and opened the door.
It's not that Gu Wei is being pretentious, he actually doesn't mind what happens with Bai Lily.
She is also a pretty girl, and she has played many classic roles on the screen before. Even if she can act as a substitute for the movies she has watched before, it is also very interesting.
Mainly because of Bai Lily's married status, he was a little put off.
There are so many single beauties in the entertainment industry, so there is really no need to cause trouble for yourself.
After entering the door, Bai Lily sat on the sofa, her back straight and her posture elegant.
Gu Wei poured her a glass of water and sat next to her.
Bai Lily picked up the water glass and looked at Gu Wei, with a smile as beautiful as a flower.
"Don't I look good?"
"Very beautiful~"
"Then why do you always avoid me?"
As she spoke, she leaned forward slightly , and his face got closer to Gu Wei.
"Sister Lily, your identity."
Gu Wei looked helpless and hesitated to speak.
Hearing what he said, Bai Lily was a little stunned, and the smile on her face disappeared. She sat back normally and took a sip of water.
"Lao Chen and I don't care about each other's affairs. Marriage in the entertainment industry is just like that."
After saying that, the water glass in her hand tilted. The remaining half cup of warm water was poured directly onto Gu Wei's pants.
“Yeah, I’m sorry, it was all my fault~”
Bai Lily seemed worried and smiled, putting down the water glass to help him deal with it.
Then the whole person leaned towards Gu Wei and pressed against him.
A series of operations made Gu Wei a little confused. In the blink of an eye, a soft body pressed on him.
Bai Baihe said warmly in his ear:
"It's time to consolidate our friendship. We will still be good partners and good friends tomorrow, right?"
Any hesitation at this time would be the greatest insult to the other party.
For the sake of Bai Lily’s self-esteem, Gu Wei had no choice but to do it.
There are still nights
