Chapter 533 I don’t want to give him face
The next morning, after saying goodbye to Yang Zi, Gu Wei drove to Pudong International Airport with Xiao Zhan and Jiang Peiyao.
There were no complicated check-in and security checks. The group walked through the special VIP channel and boarded directly onto the Gulfstream G550, which is slightly smaller among the passenger aircraft.
Jiang Peiyao and Xiao Zhan are both from ordinary families, and this is their first time experiencing flying on a private jet.
The two of them followed Gu Wei the whole time. After Jiang Peiyao got on the plane, she looked around and looked around, as if she had never seen the world.
Xiao Zhan was better, he didn't make any big moves, but his constantly rolling eyes still betrayed him. As a boy, he was actually more interested in this big toy of a top rich man than Jiang Peiyao.
"If you are sleepy, there is a bedroom inside where you can take a nap, but we will be in the capital in two hours, so we can't sleep for too long."
After sitting down, Gu Weicong The assistant took the laptop in his hand, opened it and placed it on the small table in front of him.
In addition to several seats, the main cabin of Gu Wei's private jet also has a dedicated office area designed to facilitate working at any time during the flight.
Jiang Peiyao and Xiao Zhan both shook their heads. It was only the morning, not to mention the flight time was short, so there was no need to sleep.
"Oh~ By the way, there is a dedicated WiFi on the plane. You can connect to the Internet. It will not be affected even if you take off."
Because he had to work, Gu Wei was afraid that the two of them would be bored, so he reminded them.
As soon as he finished speaking, a slim and beautiful flight attendant walked over with dignified steps. When she came to Gu Wei's side, she leaned slightly and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Boss, do you need something to drink?"
Gu Wei, who was turning on the computer, didn't even raise his head.
"A glass of water."
The flight attendant nodded slightly, her expression unchanged, and then looked at Xiao Zhan and Jiang Peiyao.
"What do you two want to drink? We have cola, juice, and tea drinks."
"I also want a glass of water." Xiao Zhan said hurriedly.
"Give me a glass of orange juice~" Jiang Peiyao thought for a while and said.
The flight attendant nodded, then straightened up and left.
"Brother, is this stewardess also your employee?"
After the stewardess left, Jiang Peiyao asked curiously.
"Of course, including the pilot of this plane, their entire flight team is fixed to serve me alone, and I pay all the wages." Gu Wei opened the mailbox and checked the new information in it. The email sent answered Jiang Peiyao's question.
Jiang Peiyao was a little stunned when she heard Gu Wei's words.
Her father was a choreographer in the military art troupe, and her mother was a grassroots civil servant. Although she had no worries about food and drink since she was a child, her life was too far away from the top rich people like Gu Wei.
After a while, the flight attendant brought water and juice, and a cut fruit plate with all kinds of fresh fruits in it.
"Boss, the fruits were just replenished on the plane this morning. They are all the freshest."
Gu Wei nodded to indicate that he understood.
The plane slowly took off and headed high into the sky. Gu Wei was working. Xiao Zhan and Jiang Peiyao also took out their mobile phones and started browsing after the initial freshness.
The G550 flies particularly smoothly. Private jets usually fly at higher altitudes than civil airliners, and the general cruising altitude is above 12,000 meters.
This height has reached the stratosphere.
The flight of an airplane in the stratosphere is very easy, with less noise and less bumps, making the flight experience more comfortable.
The engines of private jets are also lower in power than civil aircraft and have better sound insulation. Sitting on a plane will not cause the discomfort caused by the loud noise of civil aircraft, and you will not be afraid of being affected whether you are working or resting.
After replying to a few important emails, Gu Wei closed the computer, picked up the water glass next to him and took a sip.
"Brother, I just checked. The Internet said that a private jet of your model costs at least 40 million US dollars."
Jiang Peiyao looked away from her phone when she saw that Gu Wei had finished his work.
"Yes, the price for Gulfstream customization is about this. It is more expensive including interior decoration." Gu Wei smiled.
"That's 300 million. It's really a big toy for the super rich."
Gu Wei's purchase of a private jet has not been publicized to the outside world, but it has not been kept secret either. It has been posted online before. News reported.
“Actually, it’s okay to buy, and many rich people can afford it even if they bite the bullet.
But the high annual maintenance costs after buying are the reason why many rich people are discouraged.
Take my Taiwanese G550 as an example. The management fee of the hosting operator, the fee for applying for a route for each takeoff, the salary of the crew and the insurance fee, etc., cost more than 30 million a year, which is roughly equivalent to the purchase price of the aircraft. About 10%.”
Seeing that Jiang Peiyao has always been so curious about private jets, Gu Wei simply explained it to her in detail.
“We have to spend 30 million every year!
If you earn less, you will definitely not be able to afford it.
How much does it cost even if you fly first class every time you go out?"
Not to mention the 300 million to buy a plane, the 30 million spent every year is nothing to Jiang Peiyao now. An unimaginable astronomical figure.
The conversation between the two attracted Xiao Zhan’s attention.
“The boss’s plane should be considered the highest-end private jet, and there are many in China. What rich people buy is actually not that expensive." Compared to Jiang Peiyao, he knew more.
Gu Wei smiled.
“The highest grade is not considered. As far as Gulfstream is concerned, it has now released the new G650, which is 200 million more expensive than mine. I remember that the boss of JD.com bought that model.
But there are indeed many small private jets with cheaper prices, ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions."
As he spoke, Gu Wei looked at Xiao Zhan opposite, who was quite interested.
“At this stage, as long as you can become famous, being a celebrity is definitely a very profitable profession.
If you like it, you may not have a chance to buy your own plane in the future.”
If Xiao Zhan can still become a top-notch player, then he can indeed afford it, but I’m afraid it won’t work like Gu Wei’s, a cheaper one. It’s still no problem.
Of course, the more he earns, the more Gu Wei will get.
“Me? It's not possible, boss, you are joking." Xiao Zhan pointed at himself with a look of disbelief.
He didn't know where Gu Wei got his confidence. Anyway, he didn't dare to think about it himself. Now Xiao Zhan feels that It would be great if I can become popular in the future and become a second- or third-tier star.
Gu Wei smiled and didn't explain much.
Two hours passed quickly and the plane landed at Beijing International Airport.
After coming out of the airport, people from [Wow Haw Wow] picked up Xiao Zhan. Gu Wei first sent Jiang Peiyao back to school, and then took a bus to the company. "The announcement of [Take My Brother Quickly] has been underway since the beginning of this month."
In the office, Yang Liwen was reporting to Gu Wei on some recent work.
"China Film Group is responsible for film arrangement and offline promotion in theaters, and we are responsible for online and promotional work for the shooting team.
Two "Brother and Sister Edition" posters have been released on the official Weibo, as well as a theme version It's the video preview of "Brother Change"
Gu Wei nodded.
“Where is the main creator now?”
“Miss Han doesn’t like to appear in public, so Peng Yuchang took Zhao Jinmai and Zhou Ming to record [Happy Camp].
According to the plan, they will participate in another episode of [Run] after the event.
Because our film is adapted from the comic book of the same name, we are planning to hold a viewing and sharing session at the Hangzhou National Comic Exhibition in the middle of this month.
Then we will officially start the national road show before the release."
"Very good, our company has become more and more professional in publicity and distribution after [Love Saint]." Gu Wei listened. Yang Liwen showed a satisfied smile in her report.
In early July, a movie and a TV show were released respectively.
The TV series "You Are My Glory" mainly relies on Dragon TV, Blueberry Channel and Tengxun TV for promotion. Gu Wei and Reba will also participate in some variety shows and meet-and-greets to help promote it.
The movie "Take My Brother Away Quickly" has become the company's main project in recent times.
After reporting this, Yang Liwen brought another stack of scripts and placed them in front of Gu Wei.
“So many again?”
“There are a few that I think are more important. I need you to take a look at them, boss. If it doesn’t work, I can reply to the drama team in time.”
Gu Wei nodded and started to look through the pages.
This is not a hard job, but Gu Wei is probably the only one in the entertainment industry who gets impatient when choosing scripts. If other actors knew about it, their eyes would be red with envy.
No way, the entertainment industry is like this. Most of the resources are in the hands of a very small number of people. Drought will cause drought and flood will die.
"What is this? What does Guo Degang think? , this can also send me an invitation, why does he think I might accept it?"
Yang Liwen glanced at the script in Gu Wei's hand, and it read "Nineteenth Generation of Ancestors" on the cover.
"I think I'm looking for you, boss, to make a guest appearance. I heard that Guo Degang used his connections to find more than a dozen celebrities in the industry to make guest appearances, including Lin Zhiling, Wu Jing, Wang Baoqiang, and Fan Bingbing."
Guo Degang and Deyun Society have been particularly popular in recent years. He has accumulated a lot of connections through Beijing Satellite TV. Now that he is trying to be a director for the first time, everyone is willing to give him face.
Speaking of the reason for making this movie, it is said that Lao Guo was angry with netizens.
After Guo Degang became popular, he was invited to make many movies, but they were all bad movies.
As a result, many netizens scolded him on the Internet, saying that he did not speak well about cross talk and insisted on making bad movies across borders.
Lao Guo is quite upright and responded publicly that he was just an actor before and he couldn't decide how the movie would turn out. People would wait until he becomes the director.
So there is this [Ancestral Nineteenth Generation]!
"Haha, Lao Guo's face is not of use to me. He said that the cross talk is not bad, so let's forget about making movies.
If you want to take advantage of the popularity to make money, keep a low profile. Everyone is doing it and no one says anything about him. He still has to pretend to be an artist when making a bad movie
Besides, I don’t even know him, so if Yu Sign invites me..." Gu Wei paused.
"Forget it, Brother Signing can't do it either. This movie is too bad, no one can possibly act in it."
As he said that, he threw [Nineteenth Generation of Ancestors] aside.
Gu Wei read a few more books.
“The more important book you are talking about is Jiang Wen’s [The Evil Will Not Suppress the Right], right?”
“Although the reputation and box office of the first part [One Step Away] were not ideal, But Jiang Wen is still recognized as the most talented director in the industry
His film "The Righteous One" is considered to be the most popular film among domestic celebrities in the first half of the year.
Director Jiang handed over the message and said that after watching [Left Ear] before, I thought you, boss, have a very good figure and are very masculine, which is very suitable for the role of the male protagonist in his movie. I hope to work with you once."
Gu Wei was speechless after hearing Yang Liwen's words. It seems that being too good is not good, even men would care about her.
Of course this is a joke.
Jiang Wen said. It should be the scene where he appeared in [Left Ear], playing basketball shirtless and showing off his muscles.
Gu Wei thought about it for two seconds, shook his head slightly, and threw the script aside.
“Reply to Jiang Wen and say that my schedule is too full and I don’t want to take part in the drama. I suggest hiring another Gao Ming. I hope we have a suitable opportunity to cooperate again in the future.”
“Boss, I won’t consider it anymore. "
Yang Liwen didn't expect that Gu Wei would reject Jiang Wen's invitation so quickly. He was the male protagonist of Jiang Wen's movie.
"I won't think about it anymore, let's just reply like this!" Gu Wei's attitude was very clear.
In fact, there are many reasons for him not to accept "The Evil Will Not Suppress the Right".
First of all, I really don’t have time. I will join the group "The Wandering Earth" at the end of the month. Unless I quit the show, it would be a brain problem if I gave up "The Wandering Earth" for "The Evil Is Not Suppressing the Righteous".
The second thing is that Gu Wei can't think of anything that filming "The Evil Will Suppress the Righteous" can bring to him.
This movie originally had a box office of more than 500 million. With Gu Wei's participation, it is possible to achieve a box office of 1 billion.
But the protagonist of Jiang Wen's movies will always be himself. Even if Gu Wei is promised to be the male protagonist, it cannot cover up his strong presence in the movie.
Finally, Gu Wei remembered that the heroine of this film was Director Jiang's daughter-in-law Zhou Yun. She had a romantic relationship with her daughter-in-law in the film in front of the director. There seemed to be a passionate scene, which Gu Wei couldn't accept.
Now that the boss has made a decision, Yang Liwen will say nothing more.
A small stack of scripts was quickly flipped through. Among them was the movie "Animal World" jointly produced by [Ruyi Film and Television] and [Enlight Media]. Gu Wei remembered that it was starring Li Yifeng, and the box office reputation was average. He Not much interest.
There is also a passionate youth fighting drama [Sweet Crit] sent by [Mango TV], adapted from the Korean comic [Wild Girl], and the heroine has been decided to be Guan Xiaotong.
Holding this script, Gu Wei's mouth slightly raised.
I don’t know if Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong will be together in the future if I take on this drama.
[Sweet Crit] is quite famous, but not because of the popularity of the drama, but because this film is the love story between Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong.
After thinking about it, Gu Wei gave up the prank-like thought in his mind. He had a good relationship with both of them, so there was really no need to do this.
