Chapter 448 A Responsible Boss
"Mr. Gu, do you really not want to think about it anymore? We have such a happy cooperation this time. [Operation Red Sea] You and Director Lin Chaoxian can cooperate again. I believe that in the future The box office will definitely not be lower than that of "Operation Mekong""
At the celebration party, Yu Dong sat next to Gu Wei and asked again sincerely.
Gu Wei smiled and shook his head.
“Dr. Yu, I appreciate your kindness. I read the script of [Operation Red Sea] and liked it very much. Unfortunately, the schedule did not allow it, so I can only miss it.
I hope I have the opportunity to work with Director Lin again next time."
Some time ago, Bona sent Gu Wei the script of "Operation Red Sea" and invited him to play the male protagonist "Yang Rui", the captain of the Dragon Commando. That's Zhang Yi's role in the original version.
To be honest, the script of "Operation Red Sea" is good and the filming is also very good. The original version even scored 3.6 billion at the box office, far exceeding their current "Operation Mekong River". 】.
Unfortunately, this movie is a complete group drama.
The plots of "Operation Red Sea" and "Wolf Warrior 2" are actually somewhat similar. It's a story about evacuation.
But the difference is that [Wolf Warrior 2] is about personal heroism, and the highlight is Wolf Warrior Wu Jing. Of course, the current version is performed by Gu Wei and Wu Jing. They are completely the Chinese version of Rambo.
While [Operation Red Sea] is about a team, the real protagonists of the movie are actually the eight members of the Jiaolong Commando.
Even Zhang Yi’s role as the captain is not too prominent.
Gu Wei has seen that movie. It lasted for more than two hours, and most of it was just fights and fights. It was very exciting and I was very moved after watching it. But there was almost no clue who the leading actor looked like. What an impression.
Gu Wei has "Wolf Warrior 2" and "The Wandering Earth" will soon be included in the bag. There is absolutely no need to star in such a movie with a weak protagonist for the sake of box office.
And the most important thing is that this movie has to travel to more than 10 countries for filming, and the actors have to undergo certain military training before filming starts. The entire filming cycle takes about more than half a year, and Gu Wei really doesn't have that long.
The time it takes to make one movie [Operation Red Sea] is enough for Gu Wei to make two movies for his own company, and he makes more money, so the price-performance ratio is really not high.
Seeing that Gu Wei had made up his mind, Yu Dong sighed in his heart.
He really wants to continue to cooperate with Gu Wei, and with the success of [Operation Mekong], the second collaboration between Lin Chaoxian and Gu Wei will definitely attract more viewers, [Operation Red Sea] If Gu Wei can act, there will be no problem at the box office.
But now that Gu Wei said this, whether it was because of the schedule or not, it meant that he really didn't want to take it, and Yu Dong couldn't persuade him.
The two chatted for a while, and Gu Wei suddenly thought of something.
"Yu Dong, I would like to ask, I have read the script of [Operation Red Sea]. Has anyone chosen the role of the female reporter "Xia Nan" in it?"
Yu Dong was a little surprised. .
"Not yet, [Operation Red Sea] is still in the preparation stage, and the selection of actors has not started yet."
Gu Wei smiled slightly.
"I have a suitable candidate here that I would like to recommend to Director Yu."
"Oh? Which female star is she?"
"You should have heard of Zhang Tianai~"
Yu Dong thought for a moment and then reacted.
“The heroine in the movie [The Richest Man in Xihong City] produced by Gu Corporation?”
"Yes!
She played a woman-beater in one of my previous dramas [Xiu Chun Knife 2]. She has a very tough temperament. She has no problem playing a war reporter.
And it's on I filmed [Wolf Warrior 2] with Wu Jing half a year ago. She played a female doctor in it. She didn’t have the squeamishness of an ordinary actress at all, and she could adapt to even the harshest shooting environment.”
Gu Wei felt that she He is really a responsible and good boss. He will find resources for his own artists when he has the opportunity, and he is also the heroine resource for blockbusters like "Operation Red Sea".
Although the role of Hai Qing in the original version is not very outstanding and she is considered a side heroine, it cannot stand up to the high box office of "Operation Red Sea".
If Zhang Tianai can win, then with "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Tomato Rich Man", she may become the first "10 billion actress" in domestic entertainment.
“I have watched Mr. Gu’s [Xiu Chun Dao 2], and the character “Ding Baiying” played by Zhang Tianai in it is indeed very good.”
Yu Dong looked up at Gu Wei and felt You still have to give him this face.
Although Gu Wei did not agree to the movie "Operation Red Sea" that we are talking about, "Operation Mekong" can be regarded as borrowing his light, and I may have to find him to collaborate on other movies in the future.
"I don't have any objections here. In this case, Mr. Gu, set a time later and ask Zhang Tianai to come over and try on the mirror and let Director Lin take a look.
[Operation Red Sea] is Director Lin's play after all, so I couldn't go past him and cast the actor directly. "
After hearing Yu Dong's words, Gu Wei smiled and picked up the wine glass.
"Thank you so much to Yu Dong."
Yu Dong quickly picked up the glass and clinked it with him After a moment.
“Mr. Gu is too polite, this is all a trivial matter! ”
The celebration banquet for Operation Mekong lasted a long time, and it was already dark by the time it ended.
Gu Wei drank a little too much today. As the main contributor to the movie's success, not only did Yu Dong accompany him from beginning to end, but Lin Chaoxian and Zhang Hanyu also paid tribute to him. Fortunately, Gu Wei himself has a good drinker. , not drunk at all.
The black Rolls-Royce drove all the way to the underground parking lot of the [Fanyue 108] community, and Gu Wei took the elevator upstairs.
After pressing the code to enter, take off your coat and throw it aside, then change your shoes at the entrance.
“Back”
Reba, who was in the room, heard the door opening and shouted, then ran over to meet it.
She was wearing loose and comfortable light gray home clothes, a pair of pink bear slippers, a bun, and big black-rimmed glasses. She looked like she had washed herself, and her eyebrows were very dark. Her lips are not very red, but her skin is still fair and tender. Reba's makeup-free look is still effective. When she is not wearing makeup, she loses that noble and glamorous impact and looks a little cute and playful.
Reba was obviously very happy when she saw Gu Wei. With a smile on her face, she picked up the coat he threw aside and turned around to hang it up.
After Gu Wei changed into slippers, he hugged her slim waist from behind, his body was close to hers, his head was buried in her neck, and he took a deep breath.
“It’s so itchy~”
Reba was made to giggle by Gu Wei, and then she sniffed lightly. "You smell so much of alcohol, why did you drink so much today?"
Gu Wei did not look up.
“In the evening, I attended the celebration banquet for [Operation Mekong] to exceed 2 billion. Yu Dong, who accompanied Bona, and Director Lin Chaoxian and Zhang Hanyu drank a little.”
Reba knew that Gu Wei It was necessary to socialize, but I still gave him a worried advice.
"It's better to drink less in the future. Drinking too much is bad for your health."
Gu Wei kissed Reba's snow-white neck from behind, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
“Don’t worry, I know what I know.”
Then he thought about it, grabbed Reba’s shoulders and turned her around, put his arms around her slim waist, and looked at her eyes.
“From now on, whether you are filming a movie or attending a business event, you don’t need to drink with anyone. Whether it is an investor or an agent’s boss, you will say no to them.
Even if Mr. Zeng of Jiaxing is asked to leave, no matter what problem arises, I will come forward to help you solve it.
Do you understand? ”
Hearing Gu Wei’s domineering words, Reba showed a bright smile on her face.
She now feels that it is good for Gu Wei to drink occasionally, otherwise he would not tell her In this case.
“I know, big boss, I will only accompany you from now on, okay? ”
Gu Wei nodded slightly.
"From now on, just focus on acting. Don't worry about the messy things in other circles. Don't worry about it. I will always stand behind you!"
"Okay, okay, great supporter. , I got you some hot water, let’s take a bath first to get rid of the alcohol smell.”
Reba said as if coaxing a child.
Gu Wei raised his eyebrows, bent slightly and picked up Reba in front of him.
"Ah~ What are you doing?"
After being picked up, Reba screamed in surprise and put her arms around Gu Wei's neck.
Gu Wei tilted his head.
“Didn’t you ask me to take a bath? Let’s go together.”
“I asked you to take a bath. I have already washed myself. Let me down.”
As Reba spoke, she patted Gu Wei's chest with her small hand. Seeing that he had no response, she had no choice but to be carried to the bathroom.
Isn’t there a saying, life is like that, since you can’t resist, you might as well enjoy it.
And for Reba, this was originally a kind of enjoyment, but it was just a little embarrassing.
More than an hour later, the two of them changed into a new couple's pajamas and sat on the sofa.
The smell of alcohol on Gu Wei's body has dissipated, and Reba's legs feel weak as she leans on him.
"I may be leaving in two days~"
Reba sounded a little reluctant.
“The TV series [Beautiful Li Huizhen] that the company prepared for me before was postponed for two months because of the filming of [You Are My Glory]. Now that [Glory] has been filmed, that TV series The drama is about to start.”
Gu Wei placed his hand on Reba’s smooth and beautiful back, stroking it gently.
“That’s how it is in our industry. It’s normal to spend less time together and more time apart. I’m going to join a filming crew at the end of this month.”
"But I can't let you go"
Reba looked up at Gu Wei, frowned slightly, and reached out to touch his cheek.
"Where is the filming location of your drama?"
"It's still in Shanghai."
Gu Wei thought for a while.
"Do you still remember the house in [Sunac Binjiang No. 1 Courtyard] where we filmed [You Are My Glory]?"
"Hmm~"
"That big star building "Qiao Jingjing"'s house has been bought by me. I will find someone to clean it up after we finish filming. It just so happens that you go to Shanghai to film. If it is not too far away, you can live there. In the future, Ms. "Qiao Jingjing" can live back where she was. "
"Really?
Great!"
Gu Wei's words surprised Reba. She didn't know that the house where the filming was filmed belonged to Gu Wei, and thought it was just a venue rented by the crew.
The TV series was filmed for more than two months, and nearly half of the plot took place in that house. She is still very emotional about that place.
Of course, living in a first-line river view room of more than 400 square meters is much more comfortable than a hotel.
"If you go to Shanghai to film a movie, if I am not too busy here, I can also take time to visit you."
"Really?
Pull the hook! "
Reba said, raising her hand and extending her little finger to Gu Wei.
Gu Wei smiled and cooperated with her.
"Hang yourself with a hook, and it won't change for a hundred years! ”
