Chapter 582 New Project
On September 20, Forbes released the "2017 China Celebrity List".
This year’s list was released extremely early, and the time selected was also quite special, from July 2016 to June 2017, so a lot of data will overlap with last year’s list.
Gu Wei is undoubtedly still number one, with statistical revenue of 400 million yuan.
This figure is undoubtedly inaccurate. Even if remuneration income is not included, Gu Wei's new endorsement fees in the past year far exceed the data published by Forbes.
However, most of his income is kept secret, and it is normal for Forbes' statistics to be inaccurate.
The second place is also unchanged and is firmly held by Fan Bingbing. Last year’s income was 300 million.
In terms of income, it ranks third behind Gu Wei and Cheng Long, who has an income of 330 million.
Her exposure rate far exceeds that of Brother Cheng Long. After all, she is known as a woman who lives on hot searches, and there are all kinds of hype news.
[I am not Pan Jinlian] After she was banned from acting again, the female-themed TV series [Win the World] she starred in and invested in became popular before it was broadcast, attracting Tmall Technology to buy its exclusive online broadcast rights at a sky-high price of 480 million. , the ability to attract money is super strong.
The third and fourth places are Yang Mi and Zhao Liying respectively. Needless to say, these two are undoubtedly the two most popular female stars in domestic entertainment besides Bingbing.
Damimi holds the hit TV series "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" and is known as "There will be no Bai Qian after Yang Mi".
Zhao Liying, on the other hand, has starred in "Riding the Wind and Waves", "The Legend of Chu Qiao", and "The Seventy-Two-Story Strange Building", and her movies, TV series, and variety shows are in full bloom.
The two are also similar in terms of income, with Yang Mi earning 200 million and Zhao Liying earning 190 million.
The fifth place is Lu Han. As the most popular top male among the younger generation of guards, his popularity has always been very high. Coupled with the blessing of [Running Man], he ranked second to Zhao Liying with an income of 210 million. Down.
Brother Cheng Long is ranked sixth. Except for the time when his works are released, the older brother is not as exposed as young people, so even though his income is as high as 330 million, he still failed to enter the top five.
Zeng Li unexpectedly ranked seventh on the celebrity list this year. This is also the first time she has entered the top ten of the Forbes celebrity list since she entered the industry.
In fact, it is very reasonable. Andy in [Ode to Joy 1 and 2], Gao Xiaoqin in [In the Name of the People], and Tang Jing in [My First Half of Life], the important roles in the three hit dramas have made Zeng close to the two most recent ones. The nationality increased sharply in the year.
Although her annual income is only 90 million, which is the lowest among the top ten, she still ranks in front of Baby, Jay Chou and Li Jiaheng.
Both Zhang Tianai and Nazha from Gu Wei Company failed to enter the top ten, ranking within 20.
Reba, who just became popular this year, jumped from 72nd last year to 21st, making rapid progress.
"Unfortunately, this list is only for June this year, otherwise Wu Jing would definitely be in the top three, and Zhang Tianai would also be in the top ten
Chao Ge and his wife Very stable, 12, 13, it seems that last year’s ranking was similar
I remember last year Huang Xiaoming was seventh and baby eighth. In less than a year, baby has not changed, Xiaoming brother Regressed to 16th place.
This is to focus on protecting my beloved wife, and I don’t care much about my career.”
Gu Wei was sitting in the office, holding a fresh celebrity list in his hand and expressing his opinion.
"Boss" Not long after, Yang Liwen knocked on the door and came in.
"Sister Yang, there are two things you need to do," Gu Wei put down the list in his hand and ordered directly.
"I have selected two novels from the company's copyright library. You can take them to the screenwriting department and ask them to adapt them into TV series scripts as soon as possible."
Yang Liwen glanced at the books on her desk. She remembered that the two books, [Half Demon Si Teng], were the copyrights that Gu Wei asked her to buy at the end of last year.
The other copy [Donggong] seems to have been bought two years after the company was first established, which is quite far back.
"Is this the next project for our company?"
Since it is going to be adapted into a script, the boss must be planning to film these two TV series.
"It's almost the same, but don't worry, just prepare slowly. According to my plan, these two dramas will be filmed next year"
"As for the director"
"This is also the main thing I came to you for.
When the script comes out, you go find a director named Li Muge and invite him to direct our company's projects." Gu Wei hesitated as he spoke. , and then picked up [Half-Demon Si Teng]
"Take this one first!"
"Li Muge?" Yang Liwen thought for a while.
“I know that this director doesn’t seem to have a professional background. He has been filming urban emotional dramas before, and he doesn’t seem to have any outstanding works.”
As an old person who has been in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years, Yang Liwen has heard of her name even if most directors don't know her.
Gu Wei smiled.
“I know. I heard that Director Li was a top student majoring in computer science at Peking University. He later entered the film and television industry by chance.
He first followed director Gao Xixi, and it was only in these years that he became independent. Directing TV series.
I have seen Director Li’s work and think he can do well in company dramas! ”
"Si Teng" and "Donggong" are both works by Li Muge. This director is very good at using colors and is especially good at capturing the most beautiful side of women.
In these two TV series of the original time and space, Li Muge used his unique camera language to show the most beautiful sides of Da Tiantian and Peng Xiaoran, which is very good.
Of course, he is also the director of Mr. Yang Yang's "My Worldly Fireworks".
But to be honest, the investor of [Human Fireworks] is Yue Kai Entertainment. As the lead actor and investor, Mr. Yang Yang has too much say, and he often interfered in the filming for the sake of his handsome image.
Director Li was unable to demonstrate his skills on the male and female protagonists, so he focused all his efforts on the obedient Wei Daxun. The result was that Yang Yang fell and Daxun was full.
A TV series with a very bad reputation actually made an actor who is almost the third and fourth male star become famous.
Yang Liwen nodded and picked up two novels from the desk.
"By the way, Wanda should contact our company recently to discuss the arrangement of the Spring Festival film [Nezha]. You should do a good job in docking"
"Okay, boss"< br>
After handling some matters at the company in the morning, Gu Wei went downstairs and came to [Wei Mingxia Animation Production Company].
"Mr. Gu~"
"Hello, Mr. Gu"
"."
The employees were busy along the way, and when they saw him, the boss, they stopped to say hello. Gu Wei also nodded in response.
“Mr. Gu, you are here~
What are your orders? "The director of Dumplings in the office was talking to his staff. When he saw Gu Wei coming in, he hurried up.
"I won't disturb your work."
"No, no, [ Yang Jian] is currently in the preparation stage and is not too busy.”
The production of [Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World] has been completed, and director Dumpling’s team also took a break for a while, and will prepare to start [animation production] when they return.
Before, they were also hesitating about what theme to choose for the next animated film. The candidates include [Jiang Ziya], [Yang Jian], [Lei Zhenzi] and other Fengshenli. The main role.
Later, Gu Wei decided that the company's second animated film after "Nezha" would be "Yang Jian".
“I heard from the screenwriting department that you have already sent back several versions of the scripts they provided. Didn’t you get any of them?”
“It’s not that you didn’t get them. The script actually has merits, but it always feels like something is missing
Just like the previous production of "Nezha", although it tells the story of Nezha's growth, the core idea is still "people's origins." It cannot determine his future." Ao Bing is the reincarnation of the Lingzhu but does bad things, and Nezha is the reincarnation of the Magic Pill but can do good things.
The story is relatively simple, but the thought is very profound.
Those versions of [Yang Jian]’s scripts looked very enjoyable, but the core is always a little thinner.”
Director Jiaozi scratched his head and explained to Gu Wei.
“Haha, you said it. That’s right.
I have also read those versions of the script, which are basically adaptations of traditional mythological stories such as Yang Jian's "Splitting the Mountain to Save His Mother", "Carrying the Mountain to Catch the Sun", "Beheading the Jiao and Capturing the Dragon", etc. It is indeed worse than [Nezha]. Interesting.
You can communicate more with the screenwriting department. After all, they are professional in designing stories.
Now the main reason is that you are not satisfied with the script, and they don’t know where the problem lies, and they can’t improve it better."
"It is indeed my negligence. I will have a good chat with Manager Chen of their department later. ."
After listening to Gu Wei's words, Dumpling realized his problem and quickly admitted his mistake.
Gu Wei nodded and suddenly noticed the drawing paper he had been holding in his hand.
“Is this the new image you started designing? ”
"Ah, that's right. Although the specific story has not yet been determined, we have already started preparing to design Yang Jian's image.
Currently, the team has created more than 30 different images, including young Yang Jian and young Yang Jian"< br>
While talking, Jiaozi began to take Gu Wei to visit the various versions of Yang Jian's design drafts on the drawing paper in the studio.
“These are not all, the company’s painters are still creating new images, some are handsome, some are rough and some are solemn, all kinds of, depending on the specific story. , and then choose the right image.
When we made [Nezha], we designed 100 versions, and Yang Jian was also included."
The professional guards for dumplings are very recognized.
“The production time this time should not be as long as 3 years, right?” “No, with the experience of [Nezha] and with sufficient personnel and funds, I am confident that it will be The production time of this film has been shortened by half."
"Okay, the top priority now is to finalize the script.
Director Yang, you have been working hard these days. In the screenwriting department of Paopao Film and Television Company, I will also instruct Manager Chen to focus on our film [Yang Jian] and strive to get a suitable script as soon as possible."
"No problem boss"
In the afternoon, after leaving the company, Gu Wei took a car to a high-end villa area between the East Fourth Ring Road and the East Fifth Ring Road.
This is the residence of Deng Chao and his wife in Beijing. Brother Chao also invited him to come over as a guest today, which can be regarded as fulfilling his promise at the Golden Rooster Award.
After ringing the doorbell, not long after, the door was opened from the inside.
“Brother Chao.”
"Come here, don't you need anything else?" The person who opened the door was Deng Chao, who was wearing light gray loose home clothes.
He took the gift from Gu Wei and let him into the house with a smile.
“What are these things?”
“The bird’s nest is for Sister Li, and the remaining ginseng, deer antler, and Ganoderma lucidum are for you. You can make it into wine and drink it. It’s a great tonic!”
"Ahem. With my strength, I can't use these things at all, but I can only reluctantly accept them because of your kindness." Deng Chao said in a pretentious manner, and then looked happy. Put the things given by Gu Wei into the cabinet aside.
Gu Wei changed into his slippers and followed Deng Chao into the house.
"Gu Wei~"
"Brother Wei~"
In the living room, Chen He and Lu Han have already arrived and are sitting on the sofa eating fruit and watching TV.
Sitting next to Lu Han was someone very familiar to Gu Wei.
"Xiaotong, why are you here?"
"Brother Wei." Guan Xiaotong greeted Gu Wei with some embarrassment.
"You guys." In fact, Gu Wei knew what was going on when he saw Guan Xiaotong, and he raised his eyebrows at Lu and Han.
"Brother Wei, Xiaotong is my girlfriend now." Seeing that his girlfriend was embarrassed, Lu Han, who was sitting next to her, came out to explain.
“When did it happen? I remember when we were recording Running Man in Prague, Xiaolu, you said you didn’t have a girlfriend, right?”
“I didn’t have a girlfriend at the time. If I didn’t go back to China to film [Sweetness], I would have a girlfriend.”
“You guys are really fast.”
“They obviously fell in love at first sight. , and then it got out of hand." Chen He said, sitting on the sofa on the other side and eating an orange.
"Gu Wei is here." Gu Wei wanted to say something else, but Sun Li, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen to greet him.
“Sister Li.”
"You sit down first and chat with Xiaolu and the others for a while. We'll have dinner in a while."
"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Li."
"You're welcome, just like at home."
While Sun Li was talking, Deng Chao stood behind her invisible side and made an expression to Gu Wei, meaning whether I was awesome or not, my status was high.
Gu Wei glanced at him with a smile. Sun Li also noticed it and turned to look at her husband.
Deng Chao immediately became serious again.
"Daughter-in-law, you go make the dishes first. I'll chat with them for a while and then go over to help you."
Sun Li obviously knows what her husband is like and doesn't want to expose him, laughing. He turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
"How about it, do I have a good status in the family?" Deng Chao watched his wife leave, raised his eyebrows and showed off to Gu Wei with a proud look on his face.
"Niu, it seems like Sister Li always listens to you?"
"It goes without saying that I always say that I am the head of the family!" Deng Chao boasted arrogantly.
"Yes, Brother Chao always says one thing at home," Chen He added with a smile, "Sister Li says one thing and he will never say two things, and he always says one thing!"
After he finished speaking, Gu Wei, Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong laughed.
"What do you know? I respect my wife and have the excellent moral character of a good man."
Deng Chao saw that no one believed his bragging, so he tried to explain it more clearly.
"Chen He, don't you listen to your wife?"
"Well, I listen." Chen He said that others were very happy, and the result was the same when it was his turn.
"Will Xiaolu listen to Xiaotong?" Next it was Lu Han's turn.
“This.” Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong looked at each other.
"We will discuss everything." Before he could say anything, Guan Xiaotong said it for him first.
"Yes, let's discuss it."
"Why are we discussing it? This is just what Xiaotong said." Chen He exposed Lu Han again.
The deer smiled and scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
The few chatted for a while, and Deng Chao went to the kitchen to help, leaving four people, Gu and Wei, in the living room.
"Are you two planning to make it official, or will you continue to have an underground relationship?" Gu Wei looked at Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong and asked.
"I don't think there is any need to rush for an official announcement. We are both on the rise in our careers, and we are afraid of the impact after the official announcement.
The most important thing is that I am afraid of the impact on him."
Guan Xiaotong first Open your mouth.
“We do have some differences on this matter. I think falling in love is not a big deal. There are many celebrities in the entertainment industry falling in love or even getting married.
And I don’t really want to. There’s nothing wrong with being sneaky and admitting it openly.”
Luhan shrugged.
“Xiaolu’s idea is very manly, but what Xiaotong said does make sense.
Actors fall in love a lot, but Xiaolu, you have too many female fans, and many of them are girlfriend fans. The official announcement will definitely have some impact on your popularity.
Of course, there are pros and cons. A generous admission will also have a certain positive impact on your reputation. After all, everyone likes responsible people. Man"
"Let's think about it again." The two looked at each other, but they didn't say anything.
Not long after, the food for Deng Chao and his wife was ready, and everyone began to eat together.
“Thank you to Brother Chao and Sister Li for their hospitality. This dish is so delicious.
At the same time, congratulations again to Brother Chao for winning the Golden Rooster Award!”
“ Congratulations, Brother Chao!”
“Congratulations!”
At the dinner table, Gu Wei raised a glass and made a toast, and everyone responded.
"Thank you, thank you all. We are all family members, so there is no need to be too polite. Just eat and drink well today!" Deng Chao happily picked up the wine glass. "Of course, the main thing is to thank my wife for the delicious dishes she cooked today and for her usual hard work."
As he spoke, Deng Chao turned to look at Sun Li beside him.
"Daughter-in-law, half of my trophy is due to you"
Sun Li looked at Deng Chao's sudden emotion and smiled without saying anything. She was already used to her husband's character. .
Lu Han and Chen He were booing around him.
"Brother Chao, I feel like you are taking advantage of Sister Li," Gu Wei said.
"How to say it?" Deng Chao didn't know why.
"Look, you have just won the Golden Rooster Best Actor. Sister Li has already won the Golden Eagle Award twice, the Magnolia Award twice, and countless other awards. What is your subtext saying to her? , those awards of yours are half of those of my husband.”
“Well, there’s nothing wrong with saying that, when you won the first Magnolia Award, I was the one who went to receive it for you
So your military medal is half of my contribution.”
Seeing Deng Chao’s mean expression, Sun Li felt helpless.
“It’s all due to you”
