Chapter 534 One plus one is greater than two
In the afternoon, Gu Wei came out of the company and went to the studio of [Noon Sunshine] in Beijing to take a makeup photo of [Knowledge].
At the end of May, he had signed a contract with [Noon Sunshine].
Hou Hongliang finally agreed to Gu Wei's request, and the remuneration was converted into investment share.
[Do you know] The investment in [Do you know] is too big. The total salary of the male and female protagonists alone exceeds 100 million. Add to that the salaries of other actors in the film, and the company's always precise requirements for TV series. The total investment of 300 million also puts a lot of pressure on [Noon Sunshine].
Moreover, we had a good time working together with [Wei Ming Xia] on [Nirvana in Fire], [Noon Sunshine], and Hou Hongliang also hopes that Gu Wei can join in.
Whether it is to support the film or to improve future achievements, Gu Wei can be regarded as an indispensable part of "Know or Not".
Besides, this is not only the second collaboration between Gu Wei and Zhao Liying, but also the second collaboration with "Noon Sunshine". Both are their own dramas, and the popularity of "Nirvana in Fire" cannot be overshadowed.
As long as Gu Wei joins, the film has not yet been filmed, and all kinds of attention and expectations will be filled.
The final contract that Yang Liwen finalized with [Noonday Sunshine] was for Gu Wei to invest 65 million yuan in remuneration, and another 25 million yuan in cash as a shareholding, accounting for 30% of the total investment in [Do You Know].
In this way, the producers of "Knowledge" will be "Noon Sunshine" and "Wei Mingxia", which is the third drama between the two companies after the two "Nirvana in Fire".
When we arrived at the filming location, Hou Hongliang and Zhang Zhangzhou, the director of [Knowledge], were both there.
Because Gu Wei had made an appointment in advance to come today, the two of them were waiting for him here.
After meeting, Hou Hongliang first exchanged greetings with Gu Wei and then introduced him to director Zhang Kaizhou.
This is also a contracted director of "Noon Sunshine". He has previously directed Yang Zi's "War in Changsha" and Zeng Li's "Ode to Joy 2".
He and Kong Sheng are good friends. Although Gu Wei didn't know each other or worked with him before, he heard him mention it when chatting with Director Kong that he was an experienced and talented director.
"Hello, Mr. Gu, I am Zhang Zhangzhou. I am very happy to work together this time. I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future."
Director Zhang is a little younger than Director Kong Sheng. His hair is neatly combed, a mustache on his mouth is neatly trimmed, and he wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He has a bit of a bookish attitude and looks like a very upright person.
"Hello, Director Zhang, it's a pleasure to work with you."
The two shook hands and were considered acquainted.
Hou Hongliang took the two of them to walk and chat, and soon they arrived at the studio where the filming was taking place.
"Mr. Hou, Director Zhang, I'm going to change clothes and take pictures first."
Gu Wei said hello and walked to the dressing room.
Not long after, he walked out wearing costume-like clothes.
Wearing a long robe with wide sleeves and an ancient men's bun on his head, Gu Wei smiled slightly, looking quite handsome and carefree.
In the script of [Do You Know It], "Gu Tingye" was naughty when he was young and hung out in Chuguan restaurants all day long. He was also a suave and wealthy son. However, he later experienced changes in his family, so he wandered around. He suddenly woke up and went to Beijing to join the army and build a career. Only after gaining fame did he calm down.
Gu Wei's current image is very consistent with the early appearance of "Gu Tingye".
In the novel, Minglan’s mother Wei Xiaoniang died in childbirth when she was 8 years old, so Minglan was 8 years old at the time and Gu Tingye was 18 years old, so Gu Tingye was 10 years older than Minglan.
In ancient times, women who turned 15 years old were called Jiji, which represented adulthood.
Minglan married Gu Tingye when she was just a hair girl, so Gu Tingye's grade in the play is 25 years old.
Although Gu Tingye, played by Feng Shaofeng in the original version, tried his best to act young, he still looked like a middle-aged man. It was just that everyone had preconceived notions that the male protagonist was a middle-aged man.
Gu Wei is actually the closest to the original in terms of age and appearance. "How do you feel?"
Looking at Gu Wei taking photos, Hou Hongliang, who was watching from outside, asked Zhang Kaizhou.
"There is no problem with the image. Logically speaking, there is no need to worry about Gu Wei's acting skills. It will all depend on how our filming goes later."
Zhang Kaizhou was full of confidence at this time. With a good script and good actors, there were no problems with investment and crew.
He felt like he had caught two kings and four twos in Landlord. If he didn't win, he would be sorry for the cards in his hand.
Hou Hongliang smiled and patted Zhang Kaizhou on the shoulder.
"I have confidence in you, and of course, I also have confidence in Gu Wei."
[Do you know] The preparation for this drama started in March this year.
After confirming the director and production team, in May, when Zhao Liying visited the crew, the show announced that Zhao Liying would play the lead role of Sheng Minglan.
At that time, "Ying Huo Chong" was in a state of excitement, because everyone knew that the quality of the drama "Noon Sunshine" was guaranteed, and they were happy that another high-quality TV series would come out for the idol. At the same time, they were also interested in the drama "Do You Know"? Looking forward to this drama even more.
In June, the day after Gu Wei returned to Beijing to take his makeup photos, [Noon Sunshine] eagerly announced the news that Gu Wei would play the male lead "Gu Tingye".
Sure enough, as soon as this news came out, it aroused strong attention from everyone on the Internet.
Not long after the popularity of Zhao Liying's "Exploring the Banner with Gu Wei" has passed, news broke that the two will collaborate. Netizens are extremely looking forward to this costume drama with a nice name.
[I said at the time that it would not be so simple for Zhao Liying to visit Ban Gu Wei. It turned out that the two of them were going to cooperate soon! 】
【I’m so looking forward to it. This is the second collaboration between Gu Wei and Zhao Liying after "Shanshan Is Here". The last time was a modern drama, and this time it’s a costume drama. I really want to watch it. They are in love again! 】
【I remember that when the two of them filmed "Shanshan Is Coming" 4 years ago, Gu Wei had just debuted, and Zhao Liying had only gained some fame through "The Legend of Lu Zhen".
Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and both of them have become the most popular stars in domestic entertainment!
We met at the end of our lives, and after hard work we met again at the top. What kind of idol inspirational drama is this? It’s so exciting! ! ! 】
[Have read the novel "Know or Not". The heroine is very good, not inferior to the cute "Xue Shanshan". The male protagonist can also be regarded as an ancient domineering president. It is very sweet to actively pursue his wife. I look forward to Gu Wei and Zhao Liying's Wonderful performance! 】
【It is said that this is the second time Gu Wei has cooperated with "Noon Sunshine" after "Nirvana in Fire".
Although "The Wind Rises in the Forest" is also very good to watch, I always feel that it is not as stunning as the first part. I think it may be that the second part lacks the relationship of "Mei Changsu".
I am extremely looking forward to this "Knowledge", and I hope it will be another "Nirvana in Fire"! ! ! 】
[The most popular male star in domestic entertainment and the most popular female star are paired up in a drama. Sure enough, "Noon Sunshine" knows what the audience likes to watch. I will definitely watch this lineup in the future! 】
【.】
As expected, if the news that Zhao Liying plays the female lead makes everyone aware of the existence of a film like [Do You Know], then after it is announced that Gu Wei will play the male lead, it will be a plus one. The publicity effect is greater than two.
It can be said that 【Do you know】this drama has already raised the audience's expectations during the preparation stage.
Gu Wei doesn't care how busy the Internet is, and he doesn't have time to care.
After taking the makeup photos, he spent a day dealing with the company's recent affairs, and immediately boarded the flight to France.
This year's Paris Spring/Summer Fashion Week was about to begin, and Gu Wei was invited by LV to watch the show.
