Chapter 400 Do you call this a village woman? (2-in-1)
After finishing his busy work at the company in the morning, he had a simple meal at noon, and in the afternoon Gu Wei came to [Enlight Media].
In terms of publicity before and after the release of [Detective Chinatown 2], including the hosting of the premiere, he had to touch on many things inside and outside with Wang Changtian.
The publicity and distribution costs for this movie alone are 100 million.
And the expected box office of China Film, Enlight, and Wanda for "Tang Detective 2" is over 1.8 billion.
With such a large investment and high expectations, the promotion of the film cannot be overemphasized.
Guangguang Lao Wang once talked with Gu Wei and wanted to release [Tang Detective 2] with a guarantee of 1.6 billion, but Gu Wei refused. Later, Wang Changtian raised the price to 2 billion, but Gu Wei did not do it. .
In the afternoon, Gu Wei led his entourage all the way into the light, and was led by the staff into the president's office.
His arrival was naturally noticed by the employees of Guangguang.
Liu Yan’s agent also got the news and called Liu Yan immediately.
"Where are you?"
"Just finished a business performance, in the car."
Liu Yan's tired voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Hurry up, Mr. Gu comes to our company~"
"Mr. Gu?"
"Your financial backer Gu Wei!"
In his office, there is no one around, and the agent is relatively direct.
“Why is he here?”
“I don’t know, it seems that Mr. Wang is here to talk about something. The main work of our company in recent times is to publish Gu Wei’s movie. Movie【Tang Detective 2】
It’s not surprising that Mr. Gu came over.
Won't you come back and see him? ”
The agent probably knew that Liu Yan and Gu Wei had a close relationship, but Liu Yan never said it positively, and she didn’t know what state the two of them were in, but it never hurts to meet more. .
Liu Yan hesitated on the phone.
"I'll hurry back."
In the president's office, Gu Wei and Wang Changtian were chatting over tea.
In fact, the detailed publicity and distribution process has long been passed on to [Wei Tianxia] by Guangmao, such as the use of publicity and distribution funds, what projects are online and offline, how much they cost, and what kind of results are expected to be achieved. , all categories are reflected in writing.
It’s just that Gu Wei himself knows that the scale of publicity before a movie is released is one thing, but the most important thing is whether the promoter can find the "point" correctly.
For example, when "Mermaid" was announced, "I owe Xingye a movie ticket"
Before the release of "Pancake Man", Dapeng accurately targeted the audience who had watched "Diaosi Man" and promoted it "The Counterattack of the Little Man."
There is also the movie [Predecessor 3] that Gu Wei has taken over. In the future, we will seize the point of "regret". Everyone has an ex, and the ex is both good and regretful. In order to resonate with young audiences.
[Tang Detective 2] certainly has its promotional points, or in other words, the tone of this series of movies has been set since the first one.
First of all, the roots of the "Tang Detective" series are logical detective movies. The two protagonists run around the world and solve various bizarre murder cases. This is the main line of the movie.
The story does not need to be brain-burning or advanced, but it must not treat the audience as fools, and the logic must be self-consistent.
This was done very well in the first part.
Secondly, the [Tang Detective] series is a comedy movie.
If a movie is a dish, and the main story of the investigation is the deliciousness of the dish, then the comedy element is the aroma and appearance of the dish.
It is the most important thing to attract audiences to watch movies in the cinema and enhance the audience’s movie-watching experience.
No matter how delicious a dish is, if it smells stinky and looks like a piece of poop, no one will be able to eat it.
Similarly, no matter how beautiful it looks and how fragrant it is, it will make people want to eat it. However, it will taste like chewing gum after eating it, and it will also deter subsequent customers due to word-of-mouth.
So the perfect combination of detective + comedy is the magic weapon for the success of the "Tang Detective" series of movies.
Because the first movie left a good impression on the audience, now that the second movie is released, Xuanfa will also seize these two points to carry out intensive publicity, which will naturally achieve the best results.
When Gu Wei came to see Wang Changtian, he would definitely not tell him in detail what number and time to participate in any publicity activities. Those are things that the staff below should take care of.
The two exchanged views on the main promotion channels of the film, the intensity and scale of promotion, the intended audience, and the concepts they want to instill in everyone.
Mr. Wang also told Gu Wei some measures to deal with negative news after the movie is released. Gu Wei nodded frequently after listening to it. Guangguang is indeed the top publicity and distribution company in the country, whether it is channels or The solutions proposed are not comparable to those of small companies.
“Okay, Mr. Wang, it’s getting late, so I’ll take my leave first.
The subsequent actions of our main creators will follow the direction of the promotion team. I hope our movie will have a result that satisfies everyone. "
The two of them were about to talk. Gu Wei put down his tea cup and said with a smile.
"Mr. Gu, stay and have dinner together. I have already asked someone from the company to book a hotel. "
Wang Changtian warmly invited you.
"No, I have a date here tonight.
I'm really looking forward to the celebration party after the movie is released, and I will definitely stay drunk with Mr. Wang by then."
"Haha~ Okay, since Mr. Gu is busy, I won't keep you here.
The celebration banquet is for sure, I have full confidence in our movie.”
Seeing that Gu Wei was not polite, Wang Changtian did not insist on staying as a guest, and stood up to see Gu Wei leave.< br>
The two of them left the office and walked out of the company, just when Liu Yan came in from the outside.
She wore a light blue women's suit, a pair of black high heels, a large V-neck on the front of her top, and a white bottoming shirt underneath that was bulging.
With her glossy black hair spread out, fair skin and red lips, what should have been smart business attire always made her look seductive.
Wang Changtian greeted him quickly when he saw him.
"Xiao Liu~ It just so happens that you are back, let's see Mr. Gu off."
As he said that, he turned to Gu Wei and said: "Mr. Gu, I won't go far to see you off. What's the matter? If you have any questions, please call us! ”
"Okay, Mr. Wang, you are busy"
Wang Changtian smiled and waved to Gu Wei, turned around and walked back.
Liu Yan standing aside showed a smile and looked at Gu Wei cautiously.
"Mr. Gu, please come this way."
Gu Wei also smiled and nodded to her, and they walked out of the company together.
"How have you been during this period? Are there any difficulties at work?"
Gu Wei asked casually.
“No, thanks to Mr. Gu’s help, my situation in the company is much better now”
Liu Yan said with a grateful face.
“I just called Mr. Wang, you don’t have to be too polite.”
The two walked out while chatting. Liu Yan kept emphasizing her gratitude to Gu Wei and said that if she needed her help for anything in the future, she would be there as soon as Mr. Gu called.
Gu Wei just smiled and didn't pay much attention to it. In a few steps, they walked out of the bright office building, and the nanny car was parked at the door.
Liu Yan looked at Gu Wei who was about to get in the car and hesitated to speak.
She wanted to invite Gu Wei, but she remembered what Gu Wei had said to her before and was afraid of being rejected again.
“Oh~ that’s right.”
Gu Wei opened the car door and was about to get in when he suddenly remembered something and turned to Liu Yan and said:
"My new movie will be released in a few days. You can host the premiere. I will talk to Mr. Wang later." Talk about this."
"No problem, I won't let you down."
Liu Yan was very surprised after hearing Gu Wei's words.
Hosting the premiere is just a small matter, but it represents Gu Wei's support to Mr. Wang and Guang Guang, and everyone will be more sure that their backstage is Gu Wei.
She can continue to do things like pretending to be powerful.
When the light came out, Gu Wei did not return to the company.
He glanced at his watch. It was almost the appointed time, so he took the car directly to the private restaurant he had booked before.
This is an old restaurant located on West Street called Runzeyuan.
It is said that it was one of the earliest "eight buildings" in the capital, and it has been passed down since the founding of New China.
The current chef is Master Wang Yijun, one of the top ten famous chefs in China.
The hotel specializes in Shandong cuisine and also sells Beijing roast duck. It is good at cooking a variety of delicacies from mountains and seas. It is known for its light, strong, mellow and not greasy dishes, focusing on freshness, fragrance, freshness, tenderness and crispness.
The nanny car drove to the parking lot outside the hotel. Gu Wei put on his cap mask and walked out.
Runzeyuan Restaurant is a large courtyard with four entrances. As soon as he entered, a dedicated staff member came to guide him.
Along the way, the green halls with tiled roofs and beautifully decorated facades can be described as an elegant environment and unique decoration style.
Gu Wei limped to a small box inside.
Opening the door, Liu Yifei was sitting directly opposite the door, drinking tea with a water cup. When she saw Gu Wei coming in, she put down the cup and showed a sweet smile.
"You're here"
The decoration in the private room is quite antique, with a wooden round table in the middle, dark in color and thick in texture.
There are several wicker chairs around, the tableware on the table is all silverware, and the teapot and cup for drinking water are made of sky blue porcelain, which looks expensive.
"I'm sorry, Sister Yifei, I asked you to wait for me."
Gu Wei took two steps forward and sat diagonally opposite Liu Yifei, saying apologetically.
"It's okay~ You're not late, I came early.
It's not far from my home, and there's no point in staying at home, so I just came a little early."
Liu Yifei was dressed very simply today. She wore a light blue dress with no other decorations. Her white and tender arms were exposed, and she wore a red belt watch on her wrist, which was the finishing touch.
The makeup on her face is very light, her facial features are delicate and picturesque, her eyes are bright and energetic, her long hair is flowing and light, her skin is fair and delicate, and she has a light and elegant temperament.
"I just went to Enlight Media and chatted with Mr. Wang for a while about the promotion of our movie, which was a little delayed."
Gu Wei explained.
“By the way, Sister Yifei, have you ordered?”
“Not yet, I’m waiting for you to come over and order together.”
Gu Wei called the waiter, asked for Liu Yifei's opinion, and ordered several of his specialties such as bird's nest, shark's fin, sea cucumber roasted with green onions, fish maw with chicken sauce, braised mullet eggs, and mandarin fish with bad aroma.
“There’s too much for both of us to eat.”
“It’s okay, you can take it away if you can’t eat it.”
The waiter went out with a good menu and didn’t look at it for a long time. The dishes Wei ordered were served one after another.
Both of them were not polite, picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
Gu Wei was also a little hungry, so he put a sea cucumber into his bowl.
"Sister Yifei, since the last time you told me to return to the capital after filming, haven't you joined the team again until now?"
Compared to Gu Wei's devouring, Liu Yifei ate more It's more elegant. "No, the filming of the previous movie was quite hard, plus I still have to promote [Tang Detective 2] when it comes out this month.
I have been resting at home during this period.< br>
Occasionally I go out to participate in some business activities, take photos for magazines and so on. ”
“What movie were you filming? "
Gu Wei asked curiously.
To be honest, he was not very impressed by the movies Liu Yifei shot in the past few years.
The only ones he remembered clearly were [ The Third Kind of Love] and [Mulan]
.
[The Third Love] was because when the movie was released, Liu Yifei and Bangzi officially announced their relationship. Although they broke up not long after, this move also made her lose countless fans.
In fact, the two of them had almost no interaction when they were together, and they had never been photographed by any paparazzi in any intimate photos together. I felt that the chances of them entering into a relationship for the purpose of promoting the movie were relatively high.
At this time, because Liu Yifei accepted Gu Wei's invitation to star in "Tang Detective 2", there was no schedule, so "The Third Love" was not accepted, and there was no way to start a relationship with Bangzi.
Gu Wei felt that he had done a good thing, at least he had made his good friend Yifei lose a lot of fans.
[Mulan] is Disney's super big production. Although the box office was not satisfactory after its release, especially in China, it was considered a failure, but this movie made Liu Yifei truly go international.
After the movie aired, her fashion endorsement resources were so good!
As for the other movies she has made over the years, I can only say that they have been shot again and again, and there are no memorable points.
On the contrary, after she resumed filming TV series a few years later, "Menghualu" and "Go Where the Wind Is" were both hits, which was impressive.
"It's called [Fenghuo Fangfei], and it tells the story of an American pilot who ran out of fuel and made an emergency landing on the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang during the Second World War during a mission. He was rescued by a Chinese woman.
It was changed based on real historical events.”
Gu Wei thought for a while. He seemed to have heard the name, but he had definitely never seen the movie.
He finished the sea cucumber in his bowl, then picked up a chopstick of fish meat and put it in his mouth.
"Then what is the identity of the heroine you play, a progressive young woman, a female student, a female nurse?"
"No, the heroine is a rural woman named "Yingzi".< br>
Her husband died, and she had to take care of her parents-in-law while raising her daughter alone. ”
Liu Yifei's voice was a little low as she spoke, as if she was getting into the role she was playing.
Gu Wei looked her up and down while eating.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Liu Yifei was dumbfounded by his look and asked a little strangely.
"Let me guess, did the American pilot who was rescued fall in love with "Eiko" in the end?"
"Yes, because of the long-term care, the hero and heroine finally fell in love with each other."
Gu Wei nodded.
“It’s not surprising at all.
If I were a pilot and saw that the widow who saved me was so good-looking, I would love to marry her. I don’t have to wait for you to take care of me. In love!"
Gu Wei said with a shrug.
"I hate it, I'm discussing the plot with you, are you kidding me here?"
Liu Yifei lightly patted Gu Wei's shoulder, feeling a little angry.
“It’s not a joke, I really think so.
You look like a village woman, which village in the country can have such a beautiful widow like you?”
Although Gu Wei Liu Yifei has been praising her beauty from the side, but Liu Yifei is still a little discouraged. She really wants to be a good actress and play some good roles.
She took out her mobile phone from the bag beside her, opened the gallery, and put it on the table.
"Look, this is a still of me in the movie. It was taken during the filming."
Gu Wei moved his stool, leaned closer to Liu Yifei, and moved towards her Made it together.
Looking at the cell phone, Liu Yifei was wearing a blue coarse cloth top, her hair was combed into a bun at the back of her head, and she was dressed in a rustic manner.
He looked up again and looked at the real person close to him.
Liu Yifei frowned and looked at Gu Wei.
"How about it, are you ready to speak?"
"Well~Sister Yifei's appearance, I would like to call her the most fairy-like village woman!"
Gu Wei said with a smile.
“Hmph~Ignore you!”
As she spoke, Liu Yifei took away the mobile phone on the table and turned her head to the side, making an angry look.
"No, Sister Yifei, I haven't finished reading yet."
Gu Wei reached out to grab the phone, and it happened to be caught in Liu Yifei's white little hand.
He didn't care. The two have known each other for so many years and have always had a very good relationship. They also had more physical contact during filming, but Liu Yifei was a little embarrassed.
“Don’t make trouble, why don’t I show it to you?”
After saying that, she put her phone on the table between the two of them, side by side with Gu Wei, stretching out her slender fingers to slide through the photos in the gallery.
“Tsk, tsk, every picture of Sister Yifei’s village women is beautiful.”
“Do you still want to see it? I’ll take it away!”
Liu Yifei threatened.
“Okay, no more talking, I will just enjoy it quietly.”
Gu Wei made a gesture of covering his mouth.
Gu Wei asked doubtfully when he saw the next few photos.
"You also have Yan Yihipi in this movie. What does he play?"
"Play the chief of the village where I live."
"This is Yu Shaoqun, right? , where is he?”
"He is the teacher in the village."
The corners of Gu Wei's mouth rose, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious.
“The people in your village are a bit good-looking!”
Liu Yifei rolled her eyes.
“You can’t say I’m good~”
"Um~ Your appearance is determined by God, and the final effect depends on your acting skills.
Anyway, I think Sister Yifei will definitely be able to give the audience a perfect answer."
< br>Gu Wei quickly added a flattery.
“That’s pretty much it”
Liu Yifei nodded with satisfaction.
"When filming this scene, because many of the scenes were in villages in the mountains, the environment was relatively harsh, so it was quite difficult to shoot.
I remember there was a scene where it rained. In order to ensure the authenticity of the scene, the director , insisted on shooting under natural rainfall.
When the rain started, the original land turned into mud, wet and slippery, and I even fell down once. Later, the film crew suggested that I use a stand-in, but I didn’t agree.”
“Look at the costume I’m wearing. Originally, the crew prepared several sets of different styles and colors, but the director didn’t agree. They said the heroine should be simple and plain, so she only asked me to wear this outfit from beginning to end"
Liu Yifei carefully told Gu Wei the story that happened during her filming, and Gu Wei listened patiently and nodded from time to time.
In his opinion, Liu Yifei's acting skills cannot be said to be very good, but she is definitely able to endure hardships and work hard for filming.
Let’s talk about her earliest famous film [The Legend of the Condor Heroes], in which she did all the Diao Wei Ya and various martial arts scenes by herself.
Including her later filming of "Mulan", various difficult martial arts scenes, horse riding, and fighting, it cannot be said that there were no substitutes, but most of them were completed by herself.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s talk about the horse riding scene. Liu Yifei was able to gallop normally on the horse during filming, and also did some actions on the horse according to the director’s requirements.
In "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" back then, there was a panoramic shot of her riding a horse and stopping suddenly, with the horse's front hooves raised high.
It is simply impossible for other female stars in domestic entertainment to do this kind of scene.
Not to mention female celebrities, some of the future domestic entertainment celebrities, regardless of gender, basically show their upper body and horse head when filming horse riding scenes, and the lower body may be a car or other means of transportation. , are all fake.
Some people say that Liu Yifei is the last good actor in domestic entertainment. Although it is an exaggeration, among the new generation of female stars, she is really the best not only in terms of acting skills, but also in acting.
Gu Wei and Liu Yifei chatted while eating. After she talked about the filming process of "Feng Huo Fang Fei", Gu Wei also told her the interesting things that happened while filming "Wolf Warrior 2" with Wu Jing.
Including Wu Jing being injured, Gu Wei called Xie Nan over.
Teacher Yu Zhan, who speaks cross talk, joins. He is at the racecourse on the outskirts of the capital and so on.
"Haha~ You are really capable, just call the director's wife over to take care of him~"
"Brother Jing is the boss in the crew, no one can take care of him, I talk to him That’s just listening for a while.
But if we can’t do it, we can still shake people.”
Gu Wei raised his eyebrows and said.
"Where is Mr. Yu Zhan's horse farm located? Is it true that he raised a lot of small animals as you said?"
"Of course, Brother Qian loved to play when he was young. Raising all kinds of small animals is his hobby. He said that in addition to ponies, there are also peacocks, monkeys, squirrels, wolf dogs, etc. It is a private zoo.”
“So good.”
Liu Yifei looked yearning.
"If you are interested, I will take you there to take a look when I have time.
I have made an agreement with Brother Qian to go back and ask him to help me choose two horses and foster them with him."
"Okay, okay, you must contact me next time you go."
Liu Yifei has a group of cats in her home, and she is very interested in small animals.
It was getting late, and the meal for the two of them was almost over.
Before leaving, Gu Wei asked again.
"Sister Yifei, you are not going out of the capital these two days, are you?"
"No~"
"You can go with me and Nazha that weekend , let’s take a flight to Changsha to record [Happy Camp], and start the road show directly after that!”
“Okay, just call me later”
Liu Yifei happily agreed.
She thought that Gu Wei wanted to book a ticket for her, and thinking that it would be convenient for everyone to have a flight, she did not refuse.
The two of them put on masks and hats, waved goodbye at the door of the hotel, and got into their respective nanny cars.
In the evening, the streets in Beijing were not too congested. The nanny car quickly arrived at the villa area. Liu Yifei got out of the car and walked home happily carrying her small bag.
