Chapter 438 Do you want to meet his parents?
Nearly two months after filming started, the main plot of "You Are My Glory" in Shanghai has almost been filmed, and all the scenes starring Gu Wei have been filmed.
In addition to Shanghai, this TV series was filmed in two places: Dunhuang and Wenchang City in Hainan Province. There was a scene where the male protagonist visited the team in the desert area of Dunhuang. Wenchang was filmed because of his role in the TV series. Finally, there is the plot of the satellite launch center.
The crew will successively move to these two locations to complete the final filming.
On October 14, Gu Wei and the director asked for leave and flew back to the capital from Shanghai.
We left in the morning and before noon, the plane landed at Beijing International Airport.
Pulling a small suitcase, Gu Wei came out of the VIP exit wearing sunglasses, a cap and a black windbreaker. The company's nanny car was already waiting in the parking lot.
After coming out of the airport, Gu Wei got in the car and went back to the company first.
"Have the arrangements for the afternoon celebration party been arranged?"
In the office, Gu Wei called Yang Liwen over as soon as he came back.
"It's all arranged, but some of the crew members of [Tang Detective 2] are currently working on other crews and it's hard to take time off to come back."
Gu Wei nodded in understanding.
When filming [Tang Detective 2], the crew members were basically employees of his company. Now the company has also opened [Sweet Honey as Ashes as Frost], [Take My Brother Away Quickly] and [ You Are My Glory] three dramas, most of these people are scattered among these three crews. They are not Gu Wei and cannot take leave at any time.
“The celebration party is just a formality. Don’t forget to give out red envelopes to everyone later!”
“I understand, this is not bad, everyone on the crew has a share”
After saying that, Yang Liwen thought of something else.
"Mr. Gu, the Pepsi-Cola endorsement you have endorsed in the past two years is about to expire. Pepsi has contacted the company and hopes to continue to cooperate with us.
Similarly, Coca-Cola also came to our door. Invite you to be their new spokesperson.”
Gu Wei raised his eyebrows. He has been a happy partner for Pepsi over the past two years. Pepsi has used his popularity and traffic to increase its domestic sales. , except for filming some commercials according to the contract, he usually doesn’t have much to do.
The only thing that needs to be noted is that Gu Wei cannot drink Pepsi's competing drinks in public. In fact, he is required not to drink Coca-Cola in front of the camera. It doesn't matter if he drinks mineral water and other drinks.
When he accepted Pepsi's endorsement, he was not as famous as he is now. Within two years, Pepsi made a lot of money.
“What are the requirements and quotations of the two companies?”
“I have read the endorsement contracts given by Pepsi and Coke. The contents are similar and there are no excessive requirements.
Pepsi’s offer was US$10 million over two years, while Coca-Cola’s offer was US$15 million over two years.”
Gu Wei was a little surprised.
"There is such a big difference. The endorsement fee from Coca-Cola exceeds 100 million. Such large endorsement contracts are rare in the entire domestic entertainment industry!"
Yang Liwen smiled.
“In the past two years, Coca-Cola’s domestic market has been greatly invaded by Pepsi. You have played a big role in it, so Coca-Cola has also made a big decision this time.”
“ Okay, then why are you hesitating? If the two parties offer the same price, we can continue to cooperate with Pepsi because of the happy cooperation in the past. Now it’s half the price, so of course we will choose Keke.”
Gu Wei made the decision directly.
"Understood, boss, I'll give them an answer later."
Yang Liwen nodded to make it clear and continued.
“In addition to the two Coca-Cola companies, the company has recently received invitations from some other advertisers, among which the more important ones include Armani and Bulgari in the luxury category, and Porsche, Cadillac and BMW in the automotive category.
However, these are just intentions now, and the specific endorsement contracts and quotations are still being negotiated
The release of your two recent blockbuster movies, coupled with your previous excellent performance as an endorsement of Louis Vuitton, has attracted many The attention of international big names is focused on it.”
Gu Wei was not too surprised by the good news brought by Yang Liwen. With his current fame and status, these endorsements would be a matter of time.
Whether it is a big international brand or a domestic brand, finding a spokesperson is nothing more than focusing on the blessing of the star's own reputation to his own brand. In this regard, Gu Wei can be said to be the number one person in domestic entertainment.
His fans are not only large but also very loyal. Since his debut, basically all the endorsements he has received have increased the sales of the manufacturer's products.
It’s just that his fame has risen too fast, and his endorsement fees have also risen too fast. Some small brands can’t support his high endorsement fees and have to end their cooperation.
It would be good if both Armani and Bulgari can negotiate. Porsche, Cadillac and BMW in the automotive category are destined to only choose one.
Gu Wei nodded.
"Let's communicate first and look at the conditions. If the conditions are similar for cars, we will give priority to Porsche."
Gu Wei has no interest in Cadillac, and BMW is even more disgusted because of the ice cream incident. Only His impression of Porsche was pretty good. He had given Zhang Tianai a Porsche Panamera before, and he thought the car was quite beautiful.
After finishing work in the company for a while, it was almost time. Gu Wei changed his clothes, went downstairs and got in the car.
First pick up Naza at the Palm Springs International Apartment, and then drive to the Kempinski Hotel.
Nazha gave Gu Wei a big hug as soon as she got in the car.
“Ah~”
Put your hands around Gu Wei’s neck and kiss him hard on the face.
“Haha~”
“What are you laughing at?”
Gu Wei asked strangely.
Like a little fox stealing a chicken, Nazha pointed at the place on Gu Wei's face where she had just kissed him.
Then he took out a small mirror from his bag and gave it to him.
Gu Wei then noticed a red lip mark on his face.
He stared at Nazha for two seconds, and Nazha embarrassedly took out a wet wipe and gently wiped it for him.
"How many days did you ask for leave from the crew?" Gu Wei asked casually.
“Three days, I arrived in Beijing yesterday afternoon, the celebration banquet is over today, I will take a photo for a magazine cover tomorrow, and then take the evening flight back.”
“ How long will it take for [Sewing Machine Band] to be completed?”
“I asked Sister Ji Hee before, and it will be completed in about another month.”
It didn't take long for Gu Wei's car to arrive at the Kempinski Hotel. As the host, he was the first to arrive at the celebration banquet.
As the appointed time approached, creative staff such as Wang Baoqiang and Liu Yifei arrived one after another, as did representatives of investors such as China Film, Enlight, and Wanda.
Liu Yifei wore a light green dress today, with a pair of lotus arms exposed, and her skin was so white that it seemed to be glowing.
“Why didn’t you go to [Bazaar Charity Night] last month?”
She entered the banquet hall, saw Gu Wei, and sat down to chat with him with a smile on her face. stand up.
"I have been filming on the crew recently, and then I have to be busy with the promotion of the new movie. Although Su Mang invited her several times, I still declined her due to time issues."
Liu Yifei was a little regretful.
"What a pity. I thought I would be able to see you in this year's Harper's Bazaar. You must know that there are many celebrities in the entertainment industry coming this year, many of whom are your acquaintances~"
Although Gu Wei didn't go, he also watched the news.
This year’s Harper’s Bazaar Charity Night was really full of stars. Except for Tang Yan, all the 85 flowers were present, including Huang Xiaoming and his wife, Deng’s daughter-in-law Sun Li, Xu Zheng, Wang Kai, Pao People from the boy band and so on, almost half of the stars in the entertainment industry are here.
But Gu Wei has nothing to regret. If he wanted to, he could participate in such activities every day throughout the year without having to do anything else.
When Gu Wei is filming, he usually won't ask for leave unless he really has something he can't refuse.
This time I am taking leave. In addition to returning to Beijing to attend the celebration banquet of [Tang Detective 2], I also have to attend the Golden Eagle Festival Awards Ceremony held in Changsha on the 16th.
“Actually, I don’t necessarily have to participate in Harper’s Bazaar. As you know, I have my own charity fund, and I invest more in it every year than the donations from the entire Bazaar Charity Night.”
Gu Wei shrugged and said.
He had talked with Liu Xiaoli when he went to Liu Yifei's house for dinner last time.
“I had forgotten that in addition to being a rich man, Mr. Gu is also a low-key and kind person~”
Liu Yifei said with a smile.
"By the way, does your fund accept external donations? Although I am not as rich as you, I still want to do my part."
Gu Wei smiled. Shaked his head.
"Sister Yifei, this is a personal charity fund. In order to avoid trouble, I don't accept donations from outside, as long as you have this intention."
"What a pity"
Gu Wei looked at Liu Yifei's Face, thought about it.
"The main project of the charity fund now is to support education in the western mountainous area. If you want, I can ask the staff to name several newly built teaching buildings after you. This will also count you as a charity I have made a contribution to my career.”
Liu Yifei frowned when she heard Gu Wei’s words.
"You say it as if I want the reputation of charity. Isn't this just seeking fame?"
Gu Wei smiled.
"Well, if you really want to do something, you can come to my charity foundation when you have time, and go to impoverished mountainous areas with the staff. I will build a building, and you will buy some tables, chairs, benches and other teaching equipment. , isn’t that good?”
“That’s good, I’ll report to your charity foundation after a while.”
Liu Yifei happily agreed.
"I will give you the responsible contact information later. My parents have been busy in the foundation for the past two years. You can join them then."
I was sitting aside and listening to the two of them chatting. Nazha suddenly became alert when she heard the last words spoken by Gu Wei.
What are you going to do if you want to meet Gu Wei's parents?
"Well~ I also want to do charity. Sister Yifei, please call me when you come back. Can we contribute money together?"
"Okay, I will call you when the time comes. Two and one half.”
Liu Yifei didn't think anything of it and agreed readily.
Wang Baoqiang, who was present today, was wearing a black suit and looked very energetic.
This was the first time Gu Wei met him after that incident.
"Director, my divorce lawsuit hasn't been completed yet, so I can't pay you back for the time being."
Wang Baoqiang said a little embarrassed when he saw Gu Wei.
"Don't worry, just come here. If you need anything, you can always talk to me.
By the way, today's celebration party, the crew will give you a big red envelope, the amount will definitely be enough for you Satisfied."
Gu Wei patted Wang Baoqiang on the shoulder and said with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, director."
Wang Baoqiang looked grateful. He really made the right friend as Gu Wei and always helped him in the most difficult times.
"We don't need to mention this between us"
The [Detective Chinatown] series will definitely have a third or even fourth part. Wang Baoqiang is the absolute leading actor. No one can be missing him, so in terms of money Gu Wei will definitely satisfy him. He will not imitate Xu Zheng and lose the reputation of future movies in order to save money.
Money can never be earned, and it cannot be earned by one person. Although Gu Wei has foresight, he has always followed the attitude of win-win cooperation. Only by joining forces with multiple parties can the cake be maximized. As long as he is the one sharing the cake.
