Chapter 385: Chasing the Murderer in the White Night
After Han Jianu left, Gu Wei continued to handle some important documents in the company.
Now it seems that [Wei Tian Xia] will release two TV series and one movie in the second half of the year.
[You Are My Glory] has cast Lin Yu as the director, Gu Wei, and Reba as the male and female protagonists respectively.
[Fragrant Honey as Deep as Frost] was also picked up by Wu Jinyuan, the director of [Chu Qiao Biography], but now Director Wu is busy with the post-production of [Chu Qiao Biography], and Zhao Mingcheng can only do some early work. Help with preparations and wait until you are free to join in.
The leading roles in this costume drama are Yang Zi and Li Xian. This is also the first time they have collaborated in a drama.
Movie [Take My Brother Away Quickly] Senior Sister Han has agreed to direct it, so Gu Wei doesn’t have to worry too much. Considering the other party’s identity and connections, there are no problems that can’t be solved in filmmaking.
He provides money and people, so there is no need to worry about the rest.
Just before Han Jia Nu left, Gu Wei also chatted with her about the choice of the main characters in the movie.
The male protagonist is naturally Peng Yuchang. As for the female protagonist Gu Wei, she recommended the original Zhang Zifeng and Zhao Jinmai. As for who to use and how to use it, it is entirely up to Han Jianu to decide.
Since he handed over the movie to the other party, except for some necessary things, everything else was decided by the director.
There are so many projects, even if they are all in the preparation stage, the company is busy inside and outside.
The boss Gu Wei is no exception. He has more things to deal with.
Especially in a few days he will have to join the crew to shoot [Wolf Warrior 2], and the time he can stay in the company is limited.
So some things that require his decision-making should be settled early. Otherwise, it would be no problem to contact him after he joins the group, but the time will not be very convenient.
After all, I definitely have to film during the day, so I can’t handle all company matters at night.
The busy morning passed quickly. At noon, I asked my assistant to order a lunch box and ate it in the office.
While I was eating, my cell phone rang.
Gu Wei held chopsticks in his right hand, chewing rice in his mouth, and held his cell phone in front of him with his other hand.
“Isn’t this a coincidence? I watched his news in the morning and called him at noon.”
After chewing the food in his mouth and swallowing it, Gu Wei answered the phone.
“Hello? Teacher Pan.
I’m at the company, I’m fine and not busy, so why don’t you come over in the afternoon?
There’s no trouble between us, then in the afternoon Let’s meet and talk.”
The two didn’t chat for a few words. Pan Yueming seemed to want to ask Gu Wei for something, but he didn’t say anything specific on the phone. He just made an appointment to come to the company to talk in the afternoon.
Gu Wei didn't take it seriously.
Pan Yueming's career has plummeted since the incident with his ex-wife Dong Jie. Although it turned out to be Dong Jie's affair with Wang Dazhi, the impact has already spread.
After the divorce between Pan and Dong of The Original Spacetime, Pan Yueming's career came to a standstill. For several years, no one asked him to film, so he could only act in plays.
But it's different now. After filming "Detective Chinatown", he affiliated his studio under the name of Gu Wei Company.
In the past few years, [Wei Tianxia] will provide Pan Yueming with resources suitable for him. Therefore, even though he is not as popular as when he was young, Pan Yueming is not as depressed as he was in the original time and space, and is still active in the film and television industry. .
In the afternoon, the company's reception room.
"Teacher Pan, [Tang Detective] we haven't gotten together for a long time after filming. Do you have time to have a meal together?"
"No problem, the main thing is that Mr. Gu, you are usually too I'm busy, I'm too embarrassed to come to you."
Pan Yueming has visibly aged in the past few years, but he is still in good spirits in front of Gu Wei.
The two exchanged a few words, and Gu Wei looked at a young man next to him.
"Who is this?"
Pan Yueming took a step back to the side, let the man out, and said with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Gu, let me introduce to you, this is director Wang Weiwang."
"Mr. Gu, hello!
I am your fan"
Wang Wei looked young, in his twenties or thirties. After Pan Yueming introduced him, he shook hands with Gu Wei excitedly.
Gu Wei responded with a smile. The introduction was that of a director, but he had never heard of him in terms of appearance or name, and he looked a little too young. Gu Wei estimated that the other person was a few years older than him.
But since it was Pan Yueming who introduced him, Gu Wei's attitude was still very friendly.
"Director Wang looks a little unfamiliar. Have you filmed any movies or TV series before?"
Wang Wei scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Mr. Gu, you are kidding me. I started out as an editor and only became a director two years ago. I actually filmed two online dramas, but neither of them were well-known.
said You haven't heard of it, Mr. Gu."
Gu Wei smiled and said nothing, turning his head to Pan Yueming.
"That's right, Mr. Gu, bringing Director Wang here today is actually a "begging" for you."
Pan Yueming said straight to the point.
“A few days ago I received an invitation to play the male lead role in a TV series. When I saw the script, I was deeply attracted by the story.
It is a suspense mystery drama about It is the story of a policeman who solved many cases in order to help his twin brother clear his name.
Later, I communicated with the director and found that their newly formed crew still had many problems, the biggest of which was. No money, although the script is good and the director really wants to present it well, but due to the type of TV series, it has been difficult to find investment
This is why I thought of you."
Gu Wei touched his chin and looked at Pan Yueming, who was sitting across from him, and Director Wang, who was still a little childish, and suddenly thought of something.
“Have you brought the script?”
“Yes, Mr. Gu.”
After hearing Gu Wei’s words, Wang Wei hurriedly took the script from the bag beside him Come out and hand it over.
Gu Wei took it over and took a look, and it turned out to be the movie "White Night" that made Pan Yueming's career take off again.
He flipped through it, and the plot of the mission was exactly the same as in his memory.
After a while, Gu Wei closed the script.
Pan Yueming and Wang Wei both looked at him expectantly.
"The story is very exciting, but some plots are difficult to pass the review. It is impossible to get a star. It can only be broadcast as a web drama."
Gu Wei said with a smile.
"Mr. Gu, what do you think?"
Wang Wei asked anxiously.
"Director Wang, what is your estimated shooting cost for this web drama?"
Hearing Gu Wei's question, Director Wang became a little excited.
“I have already calculated that [White Night] has a total of 32 episodes. The average shooting cost for one episode is about 2 million, and 64 million is enough to complete the filming.”
"Director Wang, I am very optimistic about this script, and I also believe in Teacher Pan's acting skills. Let's do this. I will pay 70 million, and I don't have to worry about the filming. The quality of the film is the first priority."
< br>Gu Wei smiled and nodded.
“Thank you so much, Mr. Gu!
Before I came to you, I had actually met several investors, but none of them were willing to invest money.”
After receiving an affirmative reply from the investment, Director Wang thanked Gu Wei profusely and told him at length about the difficulties of this film since its establishment.
The pen name of their screenwriter is Fingerprint, and he is a lawyer by profession. The script "White Night Chase" was actually created three years ago. Unfortunately, due to the subject matter, the producer and investors could not be found.
Later, Wang Wei accidentally saw the script. He liked the story very much, so he used his connections to contact investors. Unfortunately, he kept hitting a wall until he found teacher Pan Yueming, and today he came to [Wei Mingxia].
"Mr. Gu, thank you."
The two were about to say goodbye. Pan Yueming said to Gu Wei. He felt that Gu Wei's investment was mostly based on his face.
“Teacher Pan, you’re welcome, let’s have dinner together when you have time.”
Gu Wei smiled and patted his shoulder.
