Chapter 454: Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Girl under Her Command
"Senior sister still has talent in this area. I believe that with a little training, she will become a great director in the future!"
Gu Wei praised without changing his expression. With.
“Stop, I know how many brushes I have. If Lao Rao hadn’t helped me this time, I might have ruined the movie for you.
Compared to making movies, I still I think being a screenwriter is more suitable for me.”
Han Jia'v has a very clear understanding of herself. She knows that her talent as a director is not high. This filming of "Take My Brother Away Quickly" was mainly due to Rao Xiaozhi's efforts.
Furthermore, she has been spoiled since she was a child and cannot bear the hardships of being a director, and she is too lazy to spend too much effort on one thing, so even if she has made a movie now, she may not try it again in the future.
“What a pity.”
Gu Wei shook his head, and then looked at Rao Xiaozhi.
“I heard that the film directed by Rao will be released next month?”
Rao Xiaozhi smiled.
“Yes, it’s my film debut, it’s called [Hello, Madman] and it will premiere on December 30th.”
“With [Love Saint] directed by Wen Muye 】It will be released on the same day, so I wish Director Rao’s new film a big hit at the box office!”
“Thank you, thank you, my film is a small-budget comedy, I don’t expect it to be a big hit, I’ll be satisfied if I can make my money back.”
“Director Rao is too humble.”
Han Jianu, who was standing aside, couldn't stand the two people's false politeness and interrupted.
"Xiaowen's previous movies are about to be released. How is the script I wrote?"
"The literary director has already started preparations. I also plan to follow you this time when senior sister comes back. It’s tentatively planned to start production early next year.”
Han Jianyu nodded. Compared with the director’s film “Take My Brother Away Quickly”, she is actually more passionate about the screenwriter’s “I’m Not the God of Medicine”. Put more effort into it.
“By the way, Director Rao, how have you considered the matter that I mentioned to you when I went to visit the crew before?
I know that you, Director Rao, are a truly talented director, and [Wei Ming Xia] is also very hungry for talents, so I hope that we can work together for a long time in the future to produce more and better films.
You can be absolutely assured in terms of conditions, the contract I am offering is definitely the best in the industry."
Gu Wei looked at Rao Xiaozhi with a smile and invited him again.
Rao Xiaozhi looked at Han Jianu beside him, and Han Jianyu also gave him an encouraging look.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu, for giving me the opportunity to direct a movie. , and thank you for thinking so highly of me.
To be honest, if I don't agree to it now, I feel like I'm being disrespectful.
Then I hope Mr. Gu will take care of you in the future."
After Rao Xiaozhi said that, the smile on Gu Wei's face became brighter and brighter, and then he extended his hand to Rao Xiaozhi.
" Director Rao, welcome to join [Wei Tianxia], I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future. ”
“Happy cooperation! ”
The two of them shook hands and the matter was settled.
"Gu Wei, do you have to thank me? Last time you left, I gave Lao Rao some advice, and then he made up his mind to join your company."
" Haha~
Thank you, senior sister.
You just came back today, and I am going to arrange a table for you.
Now it’s a double blessing! ”
Gu Wei said cheerfully.
With Rao Xiaozhi’s joining, and Wen Muye in the company, he is like a dragon and a phoenix. At least the movies produced by the company in the future will not be the same. Worried that there was no director to take over.
That night, Gu Wei, Han Jia'er, and Rao Xiaozhi invited Wen Muye and Guo Fan to have a dinner together.
Guo Fan was the one. Han Jia'er and Rao Xiaozhi are good friends, and Wen Mu is also Han Jia's college classmate, but Wen Mu is not familiar with Rao and Guo. Now Rao Xiaozhi is about to become Wen Mu's colleague, plus this meal Once introduced, everyone became acquaintances
A few people ate and drank, and Wen Mu also had some exchanges with Guo Fan and Rao Xiaozhi, and they all felt like each other.
Guo Fan and Rao Xiaozhi were born in 1980, and Wen Mu was born in 1985. They are all in their 30s and belong to the youngest generation of directors. They are also some of the most outstanding people of the younger generation.
After chatting, we became more and more impressed by each other’s knowledge of directing, and the relationship gradually became familiar.
The three of them were chatting, while Gu Wei was talking to the daughter of the Han family. He couldn't ignore the senior sister.
From Han Sanping to the Han family daughter, Gu Wei always felt that both father and daughter were his nobles.
When he was still a student, Han Sanping nodded and agreed to invest in his first movie "Xiu Chun Knife", and used the influence of China Film to find Liu Yifei to star.
Then when he was preparing the first part of "Detective Chinatown", when everyone was not optimistic about it, Han Sanping also stepped in to help and participate in investment.
After getting to know Han Jianu, she not only sent her the script of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", but also introduced Rao Xiaozhi, a new generation director who will be very famous in the future, and indirectly brought him Here comes the [Wandering Earth] project.
So even though Han Sanping has retired now, Gu Wei always comes to visit her with gifts during every New Year and holidays, and he also treats Han Jia's daughter as a true friend.
"Director Guo, how are the preparations for China Film's preparations? When can we come over to sign the contract?"
Gu Wei asked Guo Fan at the dinner table.
"Everything is ready. If there is nothing to do with Mr. Gu tomorrow, we can sign the contract together."
"Haha~ No problem, let's make a reservation for tomorrow!"< br>
Gu Wei smiled and agreed.
“What contract?”
Han Jianu looked confused. She had never heard Guo Fan say that she and Gu Wei had an intersection. She thought it was the first time that the two met today.
Guo Fan smiled and explained to her.
“Didn’t I accept the assignment from China Film Group and have been preparing to shoot that big-budget science fiction film?”
“I know, [The Wandering Earth], you prepared very quickly in advance. It’s been two years~”
Han Jia’er rolled her eyes. "Are you planning to find Gu Wei as the leading actor?"
"Haha~ That's right, I did invite Mr. Gu.
But that's not the most important thing."
Guo Fan said with a smile.
“That is.”
"My science fiction film China Film only gave me a budget of 200 million, but I actually calculated the shooting cost to be as high as 400 million.
Of the remaining 200 million, Mr. Gu has decided to invest in me."
After hearing his words, not only Han Jianu, but also Rao Xiaozhi on the side couldn't help but look at Gu Wei in surprise.
This is 200 million, not 2 million or 20 million. Even the richest man, Da Laowang, said they were two small goals. To win the 5 million lottery jackpot, you have to win 40 times in a row.
Gu Wei was able to take it out and vote for a domestic science fiction film without hesitation. This kind of courage is rare in the entire entertainment industry.
Wen Mu was the only one present who didn't have much reaction. He had been signed to [Wei Tianxia] for more than a year. While working, he also met many old employees of the company and learned some information about the company's various projects from them. He knew roughly how profitable his boss was and how terrifying the profitability of the company [Wei Tianxia] was.
As far as he knows, no company in the entertainment industry can be as profitable as [Wei Tianxia].
Top private film and television companies such as Huayi, Enlight, and Bona, even if they are larger, they have more projects every year than [Wei Tianxia], but in terms of pure profit, they can’t catch up. [Wei Mingxia].
After he joined the company, when he looked through the company's past works, he found that all the works produced by the company since its establishment were all high-quality. Whether they were TV series or movies, the difference was just that they made more money and less money.
This situation seems almost impossible to other film and television companies.
Later, he learned that all film and television dramas produced by the company had to be approved by the boss Gu Wei before filming could begin.
This also made him admire Gu Wei's vision even more.
"The investment of 200 million is still invested in domestic science fiction films. Gu Wei, you are so courageous."
After being surprised, Han Jianu gave a thumbs up to Gu Wei , said.
“First of all, I am very optimistic about director Guo Fan’s ability and believe he can make this domestic science fiction blockbuster; secondly, I like Liu Cixin’s novels; and finally, it is also to support the development of domestic science fiction films.
The amount of money is the least important."
Gu Wei praised Guo Fan and pretended to be cool.
"Awesome, awesome"
Han Jianu Admired.
"By the way, Mr. Gu, how did you think about my invitation to be the leading actor in the movie last time we met? ”
While the conversation was going on, Guo Fan took the opportunity to mention the male lead invitation again.
Even though there is no shortage of investment now, he still can't forget Gu Wei's role as the male lead. He is really greedy for Gu Wei's strong box office appeal.
With him playing the male lead, Guo Fan felt more at ease when filming the movie.
The corners of Gu Wei's mouth curled up slightly.
“I took over ‘Liu Qi’ and took 200 million yuan. There is no reason why I can’t contribute to my own movie”
"Great!"
Guo Fan clapped his hands with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Gu, I would like to propose a toast to you. I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future!"
"Happy cooperation."
The dinner party was over and it was already getting late. The three directors, who had drunk a little too much, got into the car, watched Han Jianyue leave, and then got into the nanny car themselves.
After a meal, Wen Muye, Guo Fan, and Rao Xiaozhi all drank a lot. Gu Wei also drank a lot, but his drinking capacity was much higher than the three of them. Even though the last three were already a little drunk, Gu Wei still drank a lot. Nothing too big a feeling.
Han Jianyu only drank two glasses of red wine throughout the whole process, and she was fine. She was still very sober when she left.
Palm Springs International Apartments.
The lights in the living room were a little dim. Nazha was wearing a pink cotton pajamas, curled up on the sofa with her hands on her thighs, watching the variety show on the TV opposite.
She wore a light yellow hairband on her head, and her face was pink and white, but her yawning from time to time made her look sleepy.
The sound of opening the door came, and Nazha's eyes that were about to close suddenly opened wide.
Happily I got off the sofa, put on my slippers and ran to the door.
"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping?"
As soon as Gu Wei walked in, he was greeted with a big hug. He scratched Nazha's little nose and asked.
“I have to wait for you to come back. If you didn’t come, I would have gone to bed long ago.
When I sent you a WeChat message in the afternoon, didn't you say you could come over in the evening? Of course I have to wait for you."
Nazha hugged Gu Wei and rubbed her little face against his chest.
"Later, I wasn't talking about socializing. I should have come back very late so that you didn't have to wait for me."
"I didn't, I had to wait for you."
Gu Wei shook his head helplessly. Shaking his head, it was the hardest thing to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman. He had no choice but to do his best.
He stretched out his hand to move Naza's hair along her fair and tender face, held her face with one hand and kissed her.
After a long time, their lips parted. Nazha opened her blurred eyes and looked at Gu Wei, her red lips slightly parted.
"Go back to the room."
Gu Wei didn't waste any time, picked up the other person and strode towards the bedroom.
