Chapter 426: Great Harvest
In the evening, there was a famous seafood restaurant near the crew.
Gu Wei booked the entire hall, with more than ten tables in total. He came to visit, and as usual, he brought benefits to the crew.
[Take my brother away quickly] is a small crew with not many people, about a hundred or so.
Most of the creative staff are employees of [Wei Tianxia]. Everyone knows the boss’s habits, so they are not surprised by the big meal in the evening.
At the main table, Gu Wei chatted with the daughter of the Han family and Rao Xiaozhi for a while, then turned his attention to Peng Yuchang on the other side.
"Peng Peng, how does it feel to play the male lead for the first time?"
"It feels great, Brother Wei~
I started filming with Brother Xian At that time, I never thought that I could play the male lead. After all, I am not handsome and I am not from a major."
Peng Yuchang looked excited.
As he said, his first entry into the entertainment industry was a complete accident. After all, his major in college was puppetry.
Later, I joined [Wei Ming Xia] with Li Xian, and I have always played minor roles in various films and TV dramas.
He has a relatively clear understanding of himself. He knows that he has no advantages in terms of looks or acting skills, so he is usually content with filming movies and making money.
This time the company released a movie for him to play the leading role. Peng Yuchang was both excited and grateful.
Gu Wei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "No need to belittle yourself, you are still young, practice your acting skills, and there is still a lot of room for development in the future.
There is no shortage of good-looking artists in the entertainment industry, but there are only a few movie stars.
Come on, I’m optimistic about you! ”
To be honest, although Peng Yuchang’s appearance is not outstanding among male stars of his age, and he is not a professional, he is indeed very spiritual in acting.
The actor is A bowl of rice, talent is actually very important. Just like Wang Baoqiang, he comes from a purely grassroots background and has not received any professional study or training, but he has won a lot from various movie stars, such as "Xu Sanduo", "Mr. Shu", " "Feng Yuxiu", classic characters one after another.
After watching Wang Baoqiang's movies, you will know that he can not only play "Silly Gen", his acting skills are really awesome.
There are so many male actors graduating from major domestic film and television schools every year, and there are a few who dare to say that they can rival Wang Baoqiang in terms of acting skills.
It can only be said that Baoqiang is truly a combination of talent and hard work.
Peng Yuchang is not said to be comparable to Wang Baoqiang, but he does have talent. As long as he works hard in the future, his development will not be too bad.
"Peng Peng is really good. He has been performing very well since he started filming. Very few graduates of our school's acting major can have his acting skills."
Sitting on the other side Han Jianu also smiled and praised Gu Wei's words.
After hearing Gu Wei's encouragement and the director's praise, Peng Yuchang smiled innocently, a little embarrassed.
"Zhao Jin and Mai Zhou, right~"
After chatting for a while with Peng Peng, Gu Wei greeted the other two little girls who were starring in the trio.
The two of them didn’t know if they had agreed upon it or not. They both wore a small white dress today. They are the same age and have collagen on their faces. They look young and beautiful.
However, Zhao Jinmai's little face is a bit chubby and cuter, while Zhou Min's facial features are more refined, more like the class star in school.
The two little girls responded to Gu Wei's greetings somewhat shyly.
“I met Maimai once when we were casting for a movie. I still remember that your mother brought her here. I didn’t expect that she has grown into a big girl after not seeing each other for several years~”
< br>"Brother Wei~ I hope it will grow faster so that I can have a chance to work with you in the future!"
Zhao Jinmai looked at Gu Wei with his big watery eyes.
“Haha~ Shoot well, maybe I will have this opportunity in the future!”
Gu Wei smiled.
"Boss, when can I film with you?"
Zhou Ming, who was sitting on the other side of Zhao Jinmai, asked boldly.
“This movie is your first movie, right?”
“Yes~”
Gu Wei nodded.
“I heard Mr. Yang tell you that you are my freshman in Beijing Film Academy this year, and you are still my elementary school girl.
If you lay a solid foundation for acting in school, you will definitely have opportunities in the future. ."
Gu Wei encouraged.
After hearing Gu Wei's words, Zhou Xi looked happy, showing his small white teeth, looking very sweet.
The three of them chatted for a while, and Gu Wei sent out a few signed photos and added WeChat messages at the request of the two little girls.
Seeing that Gu Wei, a big star, was so amiable, Zhao Jinmai and Zhou Xi became more and more casual in chatting with him.
The next day, Gu Weicong left the set with satisfaction.
He gained a lot from this visit.
During the dinner, Gu Wei proposed to director Rao Xiaozhi that he could sign him to his company. Although Rao Xiaozhi did not agree immediately and only said that he would consider it, it seemed to Gu Wei that he was already tempted.
After all, Rao Xiaozhi has been filming stage plays before and has never proven himself in the film market. Making movies has always been his dream. Gu Wei's [Wei Tianxia] is also a very famous film and television company in the industry.
During the chat, I also promised him that there will be many film projects for him in the future. If he has ideas, the company will fully support him in terms of funds and personnel.
In short, the conditions promised by Gu Wei are very superior to a new director Rao Xiaozhi.
Gu Wei also received a piece of news while chatting with the Han family daughter and Rao Xiaozhi.
At the beginning of this year, Rao Xiaozhi wrote and directed his first film [Hello, Madman! ], the producer of this film was Guo Fan, the later famous science fiction film director.
Han Jia'v, Rao Xiaozhi, and Guo Fan are all very close friends, and Director Guo has now taken over the task of China Film Group Corporation and is preparing for the science fiction masterpiece "The Wandering Earth".
As early as 2012, China Film purchased the copyright of Liu Cixin's science fiction novel "The Wandering Earth". In 2014, it was decided to start filming the film "The Wandering Earth". In 2015, Guo Fan was confirmed as the director of the film. .
It has been more than a year now, and the movie is still in preparation.
As Han Jianyu said, there was too much preparation work in the early stage of "The Wandering Earth", and Guo Fan asked China Film Group several times that the funds for the filming were insufficient, so why did it take a year before the actual shooting of the movie started.
Gu Wei had some impressions of what she was talking about. The filming of the first part of "Original Time and Space" [The Wandering Earth] was indeed very economical, and there were several situations where funds were insufficient.
The most famous thing is that he asked Wu Jing to act in the film. Without telling him that he couldn't get the salary, Director Guo got another 60 million investment from Wu Jing by crying poor.
Han Jia'v and Rao Xiaozhi just chatted casually, but Gu Wei became interested.
Based on his current relationship with China Film Group Corporation, it shouldn’t be too difficult to invest money to become an investor in "The Wandering Earth" after some communication.
China Film is a state-owned enterprise, and investing in movies requires going through layers of procedures. It is difficult to come up with too much money, but Gu Wei does not have this difficulty, no matter how much money he has, he can make up for it.
His movie "Tang Detective 2" had a box office of 3.9 billion, and the investment and distribution just brought a profit of more than 200 million to China Film.
I believe that at this time he wants to lend a helping hand to China Film's projects that are in financial difficulties, and the other party will not disagree.
“Don’t be too anxious, just look at the other person’s attitude and say that I am interested in this project, so I plan to join in.
Go ahead and let me know the results at any time.”
On the way to the airport, Gu Wei called Yang Liwen.
The main thing was for her to contact China Film Group to convey Gu Wei's attitude and see what their reaction was.
Whether the matter can be settled in the end and how much [Wei Mingxia] can invest will ultimately depend on Gu Wei and director Guo Fan and the current chairman of China Film Group, La Peikang.
【Let me take my brother away quickly】The crew.
After the filming of a scene was completed, the staff packed up and moved to the scene. Han Jianu put down the speaker in her hand and said to Rao Xiaozhi beside her:
"What did Gu Wei invite you to do when we had dinner last night?" Didn’t agree immediately? ”
She and Rao Xiaozhi have been friends for many years. She knows that the other person is talented and has always aimed to make movies, so she feels that Gu Wei's invitation is a good opportunity for him.
“To be honest, the terms Mr. Gu offered me are really tempting, but I’m afraid that I won’t be free after signing with his company.
What if I’m asked to take some inappropriate photos in the future? You tell me how difficult it is for me to make the movie I like."
In front of Han Jia Nu, Rao Xiaozhi did not hide anything and directly expressed his inner thoughts.
“You, Tai Wenqing!
You are not Zhang Yimou or Chen Kai. Many people who want to make movies take the initiative to invest. You are just a new director in the film industry. Your first movie has not been released yet, so you have no right to be picky.
Even if you want to make a movie you like, you must first achieve results before you can have more initiative.
It's too early to think about this now.
Don’t have the life of a great director, but suffer from the disease of a great director! "
Han Jianu said it so rudely that Rao Xiaozhi frowned.
"And didn't Gu Wei say yesterday that he will support any ideas you have or any movies you want to make.
I still know his company. Although they have produced some commercial films in recent years, there are no It's too bad.
One of my classmates, Wen Mu, is also signed under his name. The first movie has been filmed and I heard it will be released at the end of this year.
You know. I have a pretty good script in my hand, and I have already discussed it with Gu Wei and I will give it to Wen Mu for filming in the future.
So I advise you, seize the opportunity you have. To avoid regret later”
Rao Xiaozhi touched his chin and looked at the staff who were busy moving equipment in the crew venue.
He knew that Han Jianu only told him so much for the sake of her friends. If anyone else, she, Miss Han, would not pay attention to her.
"You are right. Let's wait until we finish filming the film. The finished film will be shown to Mr. Gu and it will prove my ability. Then I will take the initiative to talk to him about this matter."
Han Jia Nu patted his shoulder.
“I have always felt that you and Lao Guo are both talented and capable, and will definitely become great directors in the future.
I hope you can seize every opportunity and produce excellent works that you are satisfied with"
