Chapter 331 You are such a heroic friend
[Anle] Gu Wei is not sure what the decision was, but he doesn’t care. Whether he accepts the movie or not, it won’t have much impact on him. .
Jiang Zhiqiang agreed to his request, and Gu Wei earned more money and added another hit movie to his resume.
Even if he disagrees, he has no loss. The free time can be used to do other things.
With Gu Wei's current fame, he can make more money by filming a TV series for his company than by making a movie.
What's more, now that he has accepted "Wolf Warrior 2", he won't have to worry about the movie's box office record in the future.
Wu Jing’s movie, which some people ridiculed as being only watched by little pinks, really let everyone know how huge the Chinese film market has become.
This is a movie destined to leave its mark in film history.
In the afternoon, Gu Wei handled some tasks at hand and watched the finished film "The Richest Man in Xihong City" with directors Yan Fei and Peng Damo in the company's screening room.
After nearly 4 months of post-production, the film was finally completed.
Gu Wei also wrote the original song "Calorie" sung by "Rocket Girls 101" for the second half of the movie in advance.
This song is not difficult to sing. Gu Wei wrote it before going to Thailand and kept it in the company.
Now it seems that it matches well into the movie, but Yang Chaoyue's broken voice is missing.
But it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t affect the effect. The assistant is doing her best to help him take care of his daily life. Gu Wei has no plans to support her in his debut for the time being.
After the movie was played, the lights in the screening room came on.
Gu Wei shook hands with the two directors with a smile on his face.
“It’s very good. In my opinion, this film is better than [Charlotte]. When it is released, it will be another masterpiece with a box office of over 1 billion!”
Yan Feihe Peng Damo looked at each other and was also very happy.
As a director, the happiest thing is when your work is recognized by others.
Gu Wei has never failed in the film industry, and his vision is recognized by many people. With his approval, the two directors were relieved of their worries.
Gu Wei is not polite. In his opinion, the new version of [The Richest Man in Xihong City] with a new heroine is better than the original version.
Although the main line of the story has not changed, more sufficient investment and shooting time make the details of the movie more worthy of scrutiny.
The most important point is that in the original version, due to the relationship between investors, the role originally played by Mary was eventually snatched away by a Taiwanese girl introduced by the investors.
Although Shen Teng is a professional actor, he must be conscientious in his performance, but the knot in his heart makes him and the heroine in the same frame, the camera always seems a bit separated.
Even after the movie was released, he stopped pretending and made sarcastic remarks in front of the media without any communication with the heroine at all.
This version does not have this problem with Zhang Tianai. Perhaps in Shen Teng's view, this movie is used by Gu Wei, a big financial backer, to praise his little girlfriend, and Zhang Tianai is the indispensable real protagonist.
So when he was on the set, he paid special attention to Zhang Tianai. The two of them had a good relationship, and they naturally had a tacit understanding when filming the movie.
After bidding farewell to the two directors, Gu Wei asked the staff around him:
“Who did I find to sing the song [Calorie] that I wrote?”
"Mr. Gu, the post-production team contacted a girl idol group called [SNH48] in Shanghai, and they produced several songs.
At that time, the company where their team worked, called Siba Culture Media, also wanted to buy the copyright of this song, but the company refused because they did not have your consent. "
Gu Wei suddenly realized that this is the "Four Thousand Years" team. Maybe one of the people singing is classmate Xiaoju.
Gu Wei is completely indifferent to classmate Xiaoju, so give him What impressed me the most was that no matter what movie she was filming or what variety show she participated in, she always wore a pair of semi-permanent makeup.
Not to mention whether the photos of Xiaoju without makeup that were exposed on the Internet were true, she always wore makeup. It was obvious that he was extremely unconfident about his appearance without makeup.
In addition, his acting was not good, and he was probably at the level of Da Baobao. Therefore, although he filmed a lot of various movies and TV dramas in the later period, he was always not good at it.
In the evening, Gu Wei left the company earlier than usual.
Today Yang Zi invited him to dinner with Zhang Yishan as company. He didn't know what medicine they were selling in their gourds.
You said it was an ordinary dinner party. Yang Zi obviously wanted to see Gu Wei for something, but when asked on the phone, she didn't say what she was doing.
This is a private restaurant in an alley in Beijing. The food here tastes very good and the price is not cheap. Gu Wei brought Yang Zi and the others here before, and today’s dinner date is here.
After Gu Wei entered the door, he was led by the waiter to the innermost box.
Pushing the door open, there was an unexpected person in the room besides Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan.
He is sitting between the two of them. He is tall and slightly fat. He always has a smile on his face wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and he looks very naive.
"Gu Wei, come on, let me introduce you."
Seeing Gu Wei come in, Yang Zi came up to him with a roar.
"No, Teacher Xia, bah, hello, Teacher Gao, I grew up watching You TV, and I have heard Yang Zi mention you before. Today is the first time we meet, and I am very happy."< br>
As he spoke, Gu Wei bent down slightly and stretched out his hand politely.
The visitor is none other than Gao Yalu, who played Xia Donghai in "Family with Children".
"Hello, hello, they always talk about you to me, especially Yang Zi, showing off to me that they have a good friend who is a super star!"
Gao Yaphosphorus transfer He glanced at Yang Zi and said with a smile.
“No way, I just mentioned it occasionally~”
Yang Zi quit.
Zhang Yishan came over from the side.
"Who was showing off to the female classmates in the class when they were in school, 'Do you know that Gu Wei who is very popular recently? He is from grade 11 in our school and has a very close relationship with me!'"
He spoke in a bullish and coaxing tone, as if he was imitating Yang Zi's behavior at that time, and felt a little needy.
"Have I ever said, you are slandering me, and I will beat you up!"
Yang Zi was a little embarrassed and wanted to beat Zhang Yishan when he crossed Gaoya Phosphorus.
"Why not? Li County can testify!"
The two of them started to fight each other when they were going back and forth.
Gao Yalian looked on with a smile, and Gu Wei didn't react at all to this scene. It was a daily routine for the two of them to fight each other at their gatherings, and he had long been used to it.
After Gu Wei arrived, a table of dishes was served quickly. They ordered some drinks instead of drinking, and the four of them started chatting while eating.
Gu Wei picked up a piece of pineapple pork and put it in his mouth.
"Little Monkey Zi, you said you want to introduce me to Teacher Gao if you want to see me?
There is nothing to hide, just say no."
"Uh~ That's right, actually this is just one aspect"
Yang Zi was a little hesitant.
"Ah, let me tell you."
Zhang Yishan took over Yang Zi's words.
“That’s right, when we chatted with Ya Phosphorus’ father before, we learned that he is now preparing to shoot a TV series.
It’s just that there was a little investment problem with that film.
We just thought of you. Your company has been producing investment film and television dramas, so it happened to introduce Ya Phosphorus Dad to you.
You discuss it and see if the project can work. If it works, then you can invest. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter. "
Zhang Yishan spoke quickly and explained clearly the cause and effect in a few sentences.
Gu Wei nodded after hearing this.
"This is also my fault. I was originally at work. When I was chatting with the two children about the problem, I complained a few times. Unexpectedly, they insisted on helping me find someone who could solve the problem.
I didn’t want to trouble them, but they kept trying to persuade me, so I came here. ”
Gao Yaphos said with a sigh.
"Teacher Gao, please tell me about the TV series first.
Not necessarily anything else. Yishan is right about one thing. My company has invested in many big-selling products. "If there is nothing wrong with the script, for the sake of Yang Zi and the others, I will definitely support you!"
Gu Wei said very cheerfully, considering his relationship with Yang Zi, As long as it's not a particularly large investment, it doesn't matter if you help invest some money.
“Okay, I specially brought the script today.
Gu Wei, you don't have to force yourself. If you can't do it, just say it. You have a good relationship with Yishan and the others, and you can't let this affect your work judgment.
I have been rejected a lot, you don’t have to care about my feelings. "As he spoke, Gao Yalian took out a white-covered script from his bag and handed it over.
Gu Wei took it and took a look. There were several large characters written on the cover [In the Name of the People]. !
His heart skipped a beat, and he opened the cover involuntarily.
"Our drama is an anti-corruption drama produced by the Film and Television Center of the Supreme Procuratorate and the Golden Shield Film and Television Center.
The story is written by screenwriter Zhou Meisen, directed by director Li Lu, and Li Xuezheng and I serve as producers and the producer."
Gu Wei watched and Gao Yaphos introduced.
“Li Xuezheng just started to contact the crew with two funds totaling 30 million, which can be regarded as the first funding for this drama.
Later, we talked with dozens of investors and started Everyone signed the contract for the sake of all parties, but when it came time to pay, they all shied away and even broke the contract
Of course, we understand this. To be honest, Gu Wei, I can’t hide it from you. The scale of the drama "In the Name of the People" written by Zhou Meisen is too big, and everyone is worried that it will not pass the review in the end.
Not only the investors, but also some of the actors we contacted, and they accepted the roles after we sent the script. In the end, they all worriedly asked us if it would be broadcast after we finished the performance.
Based on the relationship between you and Yang Zi, we are all our own people, and I can’t cheat you.”
Gao Yalu talked a lot, while Yang Zi looked on worriedly. Gu Wei, she was afraid that Gao Yalan would not be able to film the TV series because he had no money, and she was also afraid that Gu Wei would be in vain after paying for her own face.
Zhang Yishan didn't care at all, no matter what they did, she would do nothing. It was a pleasure to eat.
He didn't think much about it at all. In his opinion, he was just building a bridge, and whether it succeeded or not would depend on Gu Wei.
Based on what he has learned about Gu Wei over the years, Gu Wei will not lose no matter whether this matter succeeds or not.
"How much money is left?"
Gu Wei's sudden voice stunned Gao Yalu, who was still talking.
“What?”
"How much money is left in the investment for this drama [In the Name of the People]?"
Gu Wei closed the script, raised his head and smiled gently.
“Um~ We plan to invest 120 million. Now, in addition to the 30 million that Li Xuezheng contacted, the funds have been received. There are two investors who have not broken the contract and have promised to provide 20 million, but the money has not yet arrived. .
There is still a shortfall of 70 million."
Gao Yaphos said quickly, and then looked at Gu Wei expectantly.
"That's it~"
Gu Wei touched his chin and thought for a while.
"Teacher Gao, don't use the two investors who have not received the funds. Such small investors will not be of the same mind as the crew. Don't make any demands during filming that will affect the quality of the TV series.
I’ll cover the rest of the 90 million investment!”
“You said you want to invest 90 million?”
High phosphorus has confirmed one side.
"Yes, Teacher Gao, I am very optimistic about this TV series. The story and plot are very exciting. It will definitely be a classic that will be loved by the audience!"
Gu Wei said with certainty.
“But~ But aren’t you afraid that you will fail the trial and end up in vain?
This is not small money, it is almost 100 million. How many people can’t make it in their lifetimes? So much money!”
After hearing that Gu Wei promised to invest, Gao Yaphos persuaded him.
"That's right, Gu Wei, don't be impulsive. Think about it carefully. Even if you want to invest, you don't have to invest so much. 90 million, even if you sell me, it won't be worth that much!"
Yang Zi also advised from the side.
She was afraid that Gu Wei invested money because of her own favor, and if she lost money, she wouldn't know how to face her best friend.
"Gu Wei, please think about it. Yang Zi is right, this is not a small amount."
Zhang Yishan stopped eating and said something worried.
“This is what you are.”
Gu Wei was a little helpless.
“Didn’t you invite me here today and want me to invest? Now I plan to pay, why are you trying to persuade everyone.”
“We are not thinking about you. What! ”
Yang Zi said.
"Yes~Gu Wei, I understand your mood very well. In fact, you don't have to invest so much. If you want to help your uncle, just invest 10 or 20 million. Director Li Lu and producer Li Xuezheng are both trying to attract money. With investment, I believe we can make up the 120 million.”
Gao Yaphos comforted.
"Teacher Gao, I'm really not sentimental. I really like this TV and want to invest in it!"
Gu Wei had a wry smile on his face. He couldn't afford to spend the money on this. Out.
"You don't have to worry about money. To be a bit arrogant, my company can earn several 90 million yuan by filming a movie.
So it's really nothing to me.
On the contrary, this anti-corruption drama is hard to find.
Teacher Gao, let’s make the decision. I will ask the company to prepare the procedures later.
You can go back and follow us. Director Li Lu told Producer Li Xuezheng that he can come to our company to sign the contract tomorrow
As long as the contract is signed, 90 million will not be less! "
Gu Weihao made the decision directly.
"This"
Gao Yaphos looked at Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan on the left and right.
Never seen them before. Having an investor like Gu Wei is simply more enjoyable than the coal boss he met when he was young
It would be outrageous for him to refuse now. Gao Yalu suppressed his excitement.
"Okay, since you said so, Mr. Gu, let's make this decision!"
After that, he asked the waiter outside the door for a box of beer, opened a bottle and gave it to Gu himself. Wei fell.
"Teacher Gao, please don't call me Mr. Gu. Given your relationship with Yishan and the others, just call me by my name~"
Gu Wei stretched out his hand to hold the wine glass. , watching Gao Yaphos help him fill it up.
"What, just you two drink. It's okay if Yang Zi doesn't drink. Why don't you give me some?"
Zhang Yishan touched his father Ya Phosphorus next to him and reminded him.
Gao Yaphos looked at the expectant expression on his face.
"Okay, you are so old, it's okay for a boy to drink some wine."
As he said this, he also handed a bottle to Zhang Yishan.
"That's right, I'm not a child anymore!"
The three of them were drinking, Yang Zi was drinking, and everyone was having a great time eating and drinking.
After the matter was settled, everyone was in a very good mood, especially Gao Yalan and Gu Wei. Both of them felt that they had taken advantage of it.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, today's dinner party has come to an end. Before leaving, Gu Wei didn't forget to remind Gao Yaphos, don't forget to come to his company tomorrow.
Seeing Gu Wei get into the nanny car and drive away from the door, Gao Yalian, Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan sighed:
"You are such a proud and interesting friend!"
"Of course, it doesn't matter whose brother you are."
Zhang Yishan answered with some pride.
“Please, please do it for my sake. I contact everyone, you are just a companion.”
“Hey~ you can’t understand what you are saying, it’s me. Explained to Gu Wei”
The two of them became stubborn again without saying anything to each other.
Gao Yaphos smiled and shook his head.
