Chapter 372: Some people stop contacting each other once they are separated
Although he was reluctant to leave, work could not be delayed. Early the next morning, at the urging of his manager, Ni Ni said goodbye to Gu Wei, got up and flew to Hengdian.
This time she had the opportunity to stay with Gu Wei for a few days. In her opinion, it was a very pleasant enjoyment both physically and mentally.
The two had a romantic connection half a year ago, and it felt great to experience it again half a year later. It was worthy of the aftertaste and longing that happened occasionally in the dead of night during the past six months.
After getting in the car, Ni Ni took out his mobile phone and looked at some photos he and Gu Wei had taken at home in the past few days.
Some are normal, some are funny, and some were taken together with two people holding "briquettes".
Zooming in the portrait of Gu Wei in the photo, Ni Ni stared at it for a while, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.
“No matter what the angle is, he looks so handsome even in home photos without make-up. How did he get such a face?”
Then I thought of Gu Wei’s strong and strong figure under his loose clothes, and his face slightly trembled. turn red.
“Xiao Ni, do you have a good relationship with Mr. Gu from [Wei Ming Xia]?”
In the car, a middle-aged woman sitting opposite Ni Ni opened her mouth and asked tentatively.
She is dressed in professional attire. She is in her 30s and looks very capable.
Ni Ni’s current management contract is with [Shanghai Tongmeng Film and Television Company]. The boss Shen Yan is a well-known TV drama director. He has directed [Chinese Style Divorce], [Hot Mom True Story], [Chinese Style] Relationship] and other TV series that are familiar to the audience.
The "Tian Sheng Long Song" and "Golden Years" filmed by Ni Ni in his later period are also the works of Director Shen.
[Tongmeng Film and Television] is a small mom-and-pop shop. Director Shen is the general manager, and his lover Wang Oulei is both the chairman and the agent of Ni Ni, the first sister of the company.
After hearing what the agent said, Ni Ni rolled his eyes and said with a smile.
“We met when I attended Huang Xiaoming’s wedding before. I was the bridesmaid and he was the best man.
We are just ordinary friends.”
Ni Ni doesn’t want other people to Knowing the relationship between her and Gu Wei, after all, the two are not real boyfriend and girlfriend. Some relationships are easy to talk about and not nice to hear, but friends' words are just right.
“Sister Wang, why do you ask?”
"We have never cooperated with Huayi before, and their company has no shortage of actresses. The movies they usually produce usually use actresses from their own company or from the Beijing circle.
So I'm looking for you this time. The filming seemed a bit abrupt.
I inquired privately and found out that the movie "Expedition 3" was co-produced by Huayi and Gu Wei, and he is also the male lead. It is said that you played the female lead and it was recommended by Gu Wei. "
Didn't he tell you about this?"
The agent explained and asked.
"Oh? That's not true. I didn't expect it to be Gu Wei's help. Maybe he thinks that I am more suitable for the role in the movie. It seems that I have to thank him specially when I have time."
Ni Ni pretended to be surprised. Looks like, her acting skills are definitely at the level of a movie queen.
The agent did not doubt that he was there, nodded, and said something serious.
“If possible, try to have a good relationship with Gu Wei.
He is not just a top-notch male star on the surface, his company [Wei Mingxia] is famous in film and television series The production is no less than that of the established companies in the industry.
It has developed extremely fast in the past two years and is now considered one of the top leaders in the film and television industry.
Having a good relationship with him will be very beneficial to your future development.”
Ni Ni looked at the agent, looking like he was open to teaching.
No. Two days later, Wen Mu's film "Love Saint" was officially finished and he returned to Beijing for post-production.
Gu Wei contacted Zhao Mingcheng again and found out that "The Legend of Chu Qiao" is still about a month away. The shooting will not end until
This version of "The Legend of Chu Qiao" produced by "Wei Tian Xia" has a larger investment than the original version, and the number of episodes has reached 72, which is 5 more than the 67 episodes of the original version.
The main change is still in the script. Gu Wei does not plan to film the second part of "Chu Qiao Biography", so he asked the screenwriter to have a beginning and end when adapting the script, so that the audience can see a normal ending.
The boss made such a request, so the screenwriters would not be careless. According to the original work, "Chu Qiao" rescued "Yu Wenyue" who sank into the ice lake. After some twists and turns, the two finally achieved success and came together. Together, we created a new kingdom.
The two worked together to create a prosperous age. "Chu Qiao" gave birth to a daughter for "Yu Wenyue", and the family lived happily together from then on.
Although this version of "The Legend of Chu Qiao" has more episodes, the storyline is far more compact than the original version.
The original 67-episode episode ended hurriedly when Yu Wenyue fell into an icy lake. The producer wanted to drag the audience into making a sequel.
Gu Wei’s version combines two dramas into one, so it seems like there are a lot of episodes and the plot doesn’t drag out at all.
Of course, this also caused the filming time of "The Legend of Chu Qiao" to be longer. It obviously started earlier than "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" but finished later.
"Is the later filming of the movie going well?"
In the office, Gu Wei poured Wen Mu a cup of tea and asked with a smile.
"With Mr. Gu supporting me, if I don't make a good movie, wouldn't it make me look incompetent!"
Wen Mu also picked up the tea cup with one hand, blew on it, and took a slow sip.
"What are your thoughts on the later release of the movie?"
Gu Wei smiled and then asked.
Wen Mu also put down the teacup and thought about it.
"[Love Saint] is an urban comedy, and the post-production time will not be too long. I estimate that the film will be released in 2 to 3 months.
It will probably be the beginning of the summer season in July."< br>
"The company has a heavyweight movie to be released in the summer. [Love Saint] should be considered for the second half of the year!"
Gu Wei interrupted him.
Wen Mu also looked at Gu Wei and patted his thigh.
"I forgot, Mr. Gu, the second part of [Detective Chinatown] that you filmed last year should be released in the summer, right?"
Gu Wei nodded.
"In this case, the only popular schedules in the second half of the year are the National Day and Lunar New Year schedules."
Wen Mu also pondered for a moment and gritted his teeth.
“Mr. Gu, can you arrange for [Love Saint] to be released during the Lunar New Year?”
Gu Wei looked at him with a smile.
“Have you thought about it?
Although due to the rise of the Spring Festival stalls, the Lunar New Year stalls are no longer the most popular in the year, there will still be a large number of domestic movies to choose from during that time. The pressure of competition will not be small when it is released in the next period.”
“Think about it!
When I was studying at Beijing Film Academy, I dreamed that one day, my film would be released in the Lunar New Year season. Released, competing with other domestic films, now I finally have the opportunity, how could I not give it a try?”
Wen Mu also looked determined.
Gu Wei nodded, picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip.
“I understand what you mean. Let’s focus on the post-production of the movie first. The Lunar New Year movie will start in early December. I’ll check the schedules of other movies at that time and make arrangements.”
"Love Saint" is a small-budget comedy film produced solely by "Wei Ming Xia" company.
According to Wei Wei's memory, the box office of this movie is about 600 million. After subtracting the cost, the movie has a profit of nearly 200 million.
According to the past practice of his company's film production, the distributor should find companies with better relationships such as Enlight and Wanda to do it.
But Gu Wei now thinks about trying it himself.
Domestic film and television companies are divided into production companies and distribution companies.
Movies produced by production companies may make profits and lose money, but distribution companies will never lose money. The only difference between different movies is how much money they make.
There are currently two normal charging methods for issuing companies.
A kind of funded promotion means that the producer pays for it and the distribution company contributes, and they do as much work as they want.
The other is advance promotion and distribution. When the distribution company is particularly optimistic about the final box office of a movie, it will advance the promotion expenses itself. When the movie is released, the distributor will collect the box office fees attributed to the producer. 8-15% as the issuing agent fee.
But no matter which way it is, the money received by the promotion company already includes profits, and after the movie is released, the promotion expenses will be paid first. Therefore, it is usually difficult for a Xuanfa company to lose money as long as there is always work to do.
In the past few years, the main promotion channels for movies have gradually shifted from offline to online, and the Internet has gradually become the first front for movie promotion.
Nowadays, when publishing, you don’t need to maintain a huge local promotion team like traditional publishing companies, so Gu Wei plans to let [Wei Tianxia] gradually get into contact with the publishing industry. He has also recruited some relevant talents in the industry before, and he plans to use [Emotion] Holy] to test the waters.
In the end, even if his results were unsatisfactory, the loss was within his tolerance.
Of course, he would not be so stubborn that he would go it alone for the first time. That would be too reckless.
Gu Wei plans to rope in Wanda and the two companies will jointly issue the product.
At the very least, your own movies should not be too different in the schedule.
In the afternoon, Gu Wei left the company early and drove to the Futai Hotel in Beijing.
The celebration banquet of [Xiu Chun Dao 2] was held here today.
It has been almost 2 months since the movie was released, and the celebration party should have been held long ago. Unfortunately, the two male and female protagonists, Gu Wei and Yang Mi, are filming in other places and cannot spare the time, so they can only postpone it until now. .
When the first part of "Embroidered Spring Knife" was filmed, Gu Wei was still a student, the studio had just been established, and there were two or three big cats and small cats. The main creators of the film at that time were all people from China Film.
Later on the second part, Lu Yang established [Free Cool Whale Pictures]. As the director, he had a team of people, plus people from China Film and Television, to form the crew of [Xiu Chun Knife 2] .
Today's celebration party, all these creative staff are present. As contributors to the movie's success, everyone is qualified to share the joy of success.
Han Sanping was also present at the celebration, but he didn't stay long. He hurriedly left after saying a few words. Before leaving, he told Gu Wei and Lu Yang that they would have a good time.
Gu Wei and the others saw that Director Han indeed had other matters, so they did not do anything to persuade him to stay.
No media were invited today. The celebration party was just a pure celebration. Everyone ate, drank and received red envelopes. The whole banquet atmosphere was very good.
“Sister Mi is so beautiful today!
Gee, this charm is infinitely charming! "
Gu Wei praised with a smile on his face.
Yang Mi wore a black slim-fitting dress tonight and a pair of high heels of the same color. The lower part of the skirt started from the top of her thighs. The split part revealed a pair of slender, snow-white legs.
Her black and glossy hair was tied into a bun, revealing her fair swan neck, her S-shaped curves bulging forward and backward, and her slim waist. Hold her hand, her sex appeal was over the top.
She looked happy after hearing Gu Wei's words, but then she sighed in a fake way.
"What's the use of being beautiful? Someone doesn't care at all. She is a good sister when we are together. Once we are separated, we will stop contacting her immediately."
"Who?
Who is so excessive? My sister told me , let me help you scold him.
You have eyes that don’t recognize gold and jade. How dare a beautiful woman like Sister Mi to show off?”
Gu Wei An angry look on his face.
Of course he knew that Yang Mi was talking about him. After returning to Beijing after filming "Three Lives Three Worlds", Gu Wei was at Mr. Miao's house every day except for work and evenings, and he didn't bother to contact Yang Mi.
She did send two WeChat messages to Gu Wei, but they didn’t have anything specific to say, and he just brushed them off.
Yang Mi covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Okay, no need to pretend~
I don't mean to blame you. I know that your company has a lot of things, and you are usually very busy even if you are not filming!"
The two chatted for a while, then Gu Wei asked.
“Sister Mi, how long can I rest at home after filming the TV series?”
“Rest?
I haven’t had any rest after filming the TV series, okay? I will still have it after returning to the capital. There are many things to do such as endorsements, commercial performances, and brand activities.
Now is the time when I am busy with my career, so there is no time to rest!”
Yang Mi said.
Gu Wei nodded to express his understanding. The past two years were when Yang Mi was at her most popular. To put it bluntly, it was the period when her career was on the rise. Being a star naturally has a lot of work to do.
“By the way, what is Reba busy with recently?”
Gu Wei asked more.
“She is somewhat famous now. Sister Jia helped her get two endorsements. After filming [Three Lives Three Worlds], she has been filming commercials and attending manufacturer’s events.”
Yang Mi said casually.
Gu Wei suddenly realized, no wonder Reba never came to see him after the crew finished filming and returned to Beijing. It was obvious that she was getting a taste of it for the first time, and when she officially bothered Gu Wei the most, it turned out that she was hindered by work.
"I guess she will be busy these days.
What, do you miss Reba?
Are you finally going to attack her?"
Yang Mi looked like a smile but not a smile.
Gu Wei looked helpless.
“Sister Mi, can’t you miss me? After all, Reba and I have been friends for several years. We both met on the set of [Gu Jian Qi Tan], so it’s normal for me to care about her, right? !”
“Haha~ If you really care, you should make Reba famous as soon as possible. After all, you are his boss.”
Yang Mi took the opportunity to get resources for Reba. .
To say that she is indeed very qualified as a boss, almost all the actors in Jiaxing were led by Yang Mi.
In the beginning, except for her, a top actress, the entire company was completely transparent.
In order to bring people to the show, Yang Mi would take the opportunity to negotiate conditions for artists from her company to play supporting roles or something like that when a crew came to her. These people have brought some fame.
Reba finally became a top female star.
Of course, Reba, a top female figure in later generations, is actually a bit weak in terms of her works.
A few years later, there are actually only two top women born in the 1990s who are widely recognized in the entertainment industry, Yang Zi and Reba.
Yang Zi has two absolute hits, "Dear, Loved" and "Sweet Honey as Ashes as Frost". In addition, there are hot dramas released every year. There is no doubt that they are top-notch movies. .
Reba is far inferior to Yang Zi in terms of works. She became popular because she played the female supporting role "Bai Fengjiu" in the hit drama "Three Lives Three Worlds", and later appeared in a series of TV series with female protagonists. , most of them have bleak data.
The ones with better results are like [You Are My Glory] and [Long Song Xing]. There is no problem in being a hit, but they are still far from being a blockbuster.
It’s just because she has a good foundation, she attracted a wave of fans with her stunning looks, and her red carpet looks are very beautiful when she attends various ceremonies. Her popularity has remained high, and she has become like this. The top of the hit TV series.
"You don't need to tell me, sister Mi. If I have a suitable role here, I will definitely not forget Reba."
Gu Wei agreed wholeheartedly.
The two chatted for a while, and Yang Mi suddenly said.
"If you have time to visit [Jiaxing Media] in the next few days~
Sister Jia has something to discuss with you."
"Mr. Zeng is looking for me?"
Gu Wei was confused.
Yang Mi nodded.
"Yes, it seems that another company wants to inject capital into Jiaxing. Li Juan contacted me. Sister Jia wants to discuss it with all shareholders. No one can ignore the opinions of you, the major shareholder."
“That’s it”
Gu Wei touched his chin as if thinking.
Without his entry, Jiaxing would have had capital enter the market at the end of last year and then sign a gambling agreement.
Gu Wei's joining delayed this time, but what was supposed to come has come, but he is now the largest shareholder of Jiaxing, and together with Yang Mi's shares, the two of them can completely control the company final decision-making power.
If capital wants to enter the market, you need to carefully consider how much to invest, how many shares to occupy, and what the valuation is.
He is not as easy to figure out as Jiaxing Media. To put it bluntly, the so-called capital that wants to invest in Jiaxing now, it is not certain whether Gu Weiduo has the cash in his pocket.
If you want to make money but are unwilling to take risks, there is no such good thing in Gu Wei.
