Chapter 342 Wasted Opportunity
After having an in-depth exchange with Xiao Ai, Gu Wei also understood her current state of mind.
After speaking out all the things he had been holding in his heart, Zhang Tianai changed his usual gentleness and became enthusiastic and active, as if he was venting something.
Gu Wei also understands her very well.
Being from an ordinary family, I accidentally came into contact with the actor industry, so because of some of my own ideas, I enrolled in a vocational class at Beijing Film Academy, and since then I have been wandering between a young model and an 18th-tier actor. .
I have been working at the bottom of the entertainment industry for several years. Due to my own conditions, resources and other issues, my career has not improved.
And Gu Wei knew that she was really fat for a while in those years, weighing more than 120 pounds, and she did not look like a great beauty to outsiders.
These are the reasons for her inferiority complex.
After meeting Gu Wei, all these things became a source of uneasiness in her heart. Her lack of confidence in herself made her feel insecure and worry about gains and losses.
After the two broke up, she thought that from now on, she and Gu Wei would be people from two different worlds, and it would be difficult for them to intersect again.
Unexpectedly, Gu Wei found her later, fulfilled the promise he had made, and made her famous with his own hands.
At this time, Zhang Tianai was a little confused about what kind of feelings she had for Gu Wei.
Admiration? Guilt? gratitude? rely? All mixed together.
At this stage, she can no longer do without Gu Wei, both emotionally and in life and career.
Of course, she doesn’t want to leave, and her life now is a life she couldn’t even imagine before.
Everything goes so smoothly and every day is full of hope!
Gu Wei really didn’t want to go on a date with anyone, so he couldn’t get out of bed the next day.
He swore that this time it was entirely because of Zhang Tianai's own problems. Xiaoai, who was in a mood, was particularly proactive and crazy that night.
But this world is physical after all. When your emotions get to the point where your body cannot keep up, you can only stay in bed.
When he arrived at the company the next day, he called Zhang Tianai’s manager Sun Ping over.
"Zhang Tianai feels a little unwell. Please push back her work today."
Sun Ping glanced at Gu Wei with a strange look, this sentence had already popped into her mind There are N possibilities, but these are normal in the entertainment industry.
And Gu Wei is the boss, which is not a bad thing for Zhang Tianai.
“Understood, Mr. Gu, I’ll do it right now!”
Gu Wei nodded.
"The movie [The Richest Man in Xihong City] that she stars in will start promoting and running road shows in the next two days. Please arrange your time and don't conflict with other work.
The company has invested a lot in this movie , the expectations are very high.
As the heroine, Zhang Tianai is better in terms of publicity, and there will be more hype when the movie becomes a hit later."
Sun Ping listened to Gu Wei's words. , with a smile on his face, and agreed again and again.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Gu, I will definitely arrange these things for Tianai.”
Agents and celebrities are like grasshoppers on the same line. The more famous the artists they serve and the more they earn, the higher their own income will be.
The second week of the release of [Embroidered Spring Knife 2] passed quickly, with a total box office of 340 million in seven days.
It was released for two weeks and 11 days, with a total box office of 850 million.
To be honest, although the results in the second week were good, they were lower than Gu Wei expected.
Mainly because there is a global super blockbuster released on Saturday - [Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens].
As the seventh installment in the Star Wars series, this movie has been anticipated by Star Wars fans around the world since its filming.
[The Force Awakens] did not disappoint movie fans. After its simultaneous global release on December 18, the film swept the global box office with its high popularity and quality.
As of January 9, when the movie was released in China, "The Force Awakens" has achieved a total box office of more than 1.5 billion US dollars worldwide, which has exceeded 10 billion when converted into RMB.
In view of the excellent performance of the movie at the global box office, theaters gave it 50% of the national film schedule on the day of release, which greatly squeezed the film schedule of other films including "Xiu Chun Knife 2" quantity.
In the second weekend of the second weekend, [Xiu Chun Dao 2] only achieved a box office of 120 million due to the reduction in film schedule, while [Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens] achieved a first-week score of 330 million.
As for other movies, "The Secret of the Dragon" has been in theaters for 22 days and has already grossed more than 1.5 billion at the box office. Although it seems to be at the end of the line, this result has become the third highest box office of domestic movies, second only to "Monster Hunt" and "Big Brother". Return of the Saint].
The box office of [Lao Pao Er] is very stable, with a box office of more than 700 million in three weeks of release, and the decline is not large, so it can be expected in the long run.
Gu Wei’s endorsements have been confirmed one after another these days.
Colgate, Semir, Rejoice, and Yida chewing gum withdrew from the endorsement sequence, and Qingyang and Watsons joined. Although the number of endorsement brands has decreased, from the original 11 to 9, the signed brands this time It is a two-year endorsement contract. The average contract amount per company is between 40 million and 50 million. The nine brands paid Gu Wei a total of 410 million in endorsement fees.
There are also some brands that are in contact with Gu Wei, and his number of endorsements may increase in the future.
This is the ability of top domestic celebrities to attract money from endorsements.
Gu Wei's income from acting alone is more than the annual profits of some domestic listed companies.
After signing the contract, Gu Wei started shooting advertisements. Some brands’ contracts also require them to participate in several offline activities every year, and time coordination will also need to be done at that time.
Hengdian Film and Television City, the crew of [The Legend of Chu Qiao].
Gu Wei flew over to visit the class after finishing his business in the capital.
"The Legend of Chu Qiao" is one of the two major costume productions planned by "Wei Tianxia" in 2016. It has been highly valued by the company since its launch.
General Manager Zhao Mingcheng personally serves as the producer, and some of the company's outstanding talents in TV dramas have also been transferred here.
Gu Wei specially chose to join the group during the lunch break, so as not to delay everyone's shooting.
“Director Wu, thank you for your hard work”
I first chatted with Wu Jinyuan, the director of [Chu Qiao Biography], and then asked if there were any problems during the filming and whether Gu Wei needed help to solve them. of.
Director Wu is short and fat, wears black-rimmed glasses, and has a somewhat honest smile.
"Mr. Gu, our crew's filming went very smoothly. If there were any problems, Producer Zhao solved them as soon as possible. Thank you for your concern."
"I'm standing next to you. We have booked a banquet at the hotel. Let’s have a good meal and relax after the show today.”
Gu Wei said. "Then I would like to thank Mr. Gu on behalf of everyone on the crew"
After chatting with the director for a few more words, Gu Wei came to the actors' rest area.
“Brother!”
Meng Ziyi, who was eating, was the first to notice Gu Wei’s arrival and shouted in surprise.
“How was the filming of this movie? Are you adapting to it?
You don’t get scolded by the director all the time, do you?”
Gu Wei asked with a smile.
"No, I acted very well, and the director even praised me."
Meng Ziyi raised his face with a proud expression.
At this time, other actors who were having lunch also noticed Gu Wei's arrival.
Everyone greeted him one after another.
Zhao Liying is wearing a costume. Although she has a small round face, she looks particularly heroic.
She raised her head and looked at Gu Wei with her big eyes, an uncontrollable smile on her face.
"You really came to visit the class?"
"Of course, how could you break what I promised you before?"
Gu Wei smiled at her laugh.
"Haha~ I guess you keep your promise this time."
Zhao Liying is a little arrogant.
"By the way, Li Ying, Ziyi is a junior girl from my school and an artist in my company. Please take care of me when you are on the set."
Gu Wei looked aside. Meng Ziyi came up and asked Zhao Liying to please.
“Brother, it’s great that Sister Liying and I are on the set~”
Before Zhao Liying could answer, Meng Ziyi spoke first.
"Zi is outspoken and very compatible with me in terms of personality."
Zhao Liying nodded.
"Okay, then I can rest assured. Zi Yiduo will learn acting skills from your sister Liying.
She is so popular now, largely because of her good acting skills!"
"I know~"
Meng Ziyi replied obediently.
"You are quite responsible as a boss~"
"Of course, I will point Ziyi to make money for me in the future. Of course, I must train her well."
< br>Gu Wei said with a smile.
"Gu Wei~"
Li Xian saw Gu Wei coming and stood up to say hello.
"How does it feel to play the leading role again?"
Gu Wei patted him on the shoulder and joked with a smile.
“It’s okay, I’ll try my best~”
Li Xian smiled bitterly.
He has been playing supporting roles in film and television dramas since "The Princess".
This time he was playing the leading role again, in a large-scale costume drama, and he was cooperating with the popular Zhao Liying. He was both concerned about it and fearful of it.
He knows that the opportunity is not easy but he is afraid that his fame will not support the TV series.
“It’s okay, relax, don’t feel any pressure, you will have no problem handling this role with your acting skills.
As for the results of the TV series being released later, that’s not what you need to worry about. "
Gu Wei said a few words of comfort.
"Understood."
Li Xian nodded.
Gu Wei and Zhao Liying, Li Xian and Meng Ziyi The few people chatted for a while and then left the crew. They had a scene in the afternoon and he couldn't delay the filming.
"The big boss came to visit the class, why didn't you come up and chat for a few words?"
On the other side, Zhang Binbin, who was having dinner together, asked Huang Mengying.
They both just said hello to Gu Wei and did not go over to chat.
Zhang Binbin was promoted by [Jiaxing Media] to play the second male lead, while Huang Mengying relied on her own efforts to audition for the role of the third female lead "Xiao Yu".
“I think so too, but the big boss doesn’t know me as a young artist, so I’m afraid it will be more embarrassing if I get close to him!”
Huang Mengying sighed. She didn't want to get to know the big boss, but she had to let nature take its course. Being too rash was not a good thing.
Thinking of this, she became a little jealous of Reba, who was in the same company.
I was taken to the earliest movie [Ancient Swords and Legends] by Yang Mi, and then I met Gu Wei while filming in the drama. This is such a big connection.
Of course, she still felt that Reba was a waste of opportunity. If she had the opportunity to work together in filming, how could she simply get to know each other? She would definitely have to have more in-depth exchanges with the big boss, so that she could still have the opportunity in the future. Do you need to worry about resources?
