Chapter 795: Listen to advice and eat enough
Gu Wei has a good impression of Wang Churan.
Although this person is not famous yet, his foundation is really good.
With her majestic and three-dimensional facial features, tall figure, and fair skin, she is outstandingly beautiful in an environment where beauties are everywhere in the entertainment industry.
The most important thing is that she is not the cookie-cutter Internet celebrity face, she is beautiful and unique,
Wang Churan is very sensible. After being introduced to Gu Wei by Jia Shikai, he didn't think that the two of them had a relationship. Although he was a bit clingy, he was very obedient.
If it’s the kind of person who can’t figure it out, the best Gu Wei can do is introduce a resource and then not contact him again.
Wang Churan, a well-behaved and sensible person, is able to maintain this relationship, and will think of her if there is any suitable opportunity in the future.
A pleasant evening passed.
Early the next morning, Gu Wei got up and washed up and asked the housekeeper to bring breakfast.
He booked the presidential suite at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. It was expensive but the service was high enough and the confidentiality was relatively good.
Wang Churan woke up a little later. She was wearing the white nightgown from last night. Her long black wavy hair spread over her white and tender skin. She was walking with a pair of big white legs and yawning lazily. came out of the bedroom.
Seeing Gu Wei, she smiled sweetly, washed briefly and sat down to dine with him.
"Has the agency arranged anything for you in the second half of the year?"
Gu Wei asked casually while eating.
Wang Churan thought for a while: "In addition to [Qing Yu Nian 2], the company also gave me a TV series and a variety show.
The TV series is a project of [Huanyu Film and Television], called [ Shang Shi], starring Xu Kai and Wu Jinyan, and I play the second female lead.
The variety show is a director casting reality show participating in Tengxun Video [Actors Please Be Here Season 2].”
< br>[Shangshi] Gu Wei has no impression, but the project of [Huanyu Film and Television] is most likely to be Yu Zheng's drama, and Xu Kai and Wu Jinyan are both his artists.
[Actors Please Take Their Place] is a replica of [The Birth of an Actor]. A group of less famous or outdated artists are found to be contestants, and their acting skills are compared. A few instructors comment on the spot to decide whether to advance or be eliminated.
Different from "The Birth of an Actor", the mentors of "Actors Please Take Their Place" have changed from senior celebrities to well-known directors, such as Chen Kaige, Er Dongsheng, Guo Xiaosi, etc., but the comments are still as sharp as ever.
Li Chengru's 12-character maxims of "sitting on pins and needles," "like a fishnet in the throat," and "like a thorn in the back" came from this program.
He also contributed to the famous live battle scene with Guo Xiaosi.
[Actors Please Take Your Place] is also a very popular variety show, with various quarrels, reprimands, and famous scenes. It is also a frequent hot search during the broadcast period.
It’s just not friendly to artists who want to gain some attention and traffic on the show.
"It can be seen that Jia Shikai still attaches great importance to you."
Wang Churan's current reputation is not even third-tier, a little better than that of an amateur. These two projects are considered good for her. resources.
“It’s not bad, I’m very satisfied if I can film at this stage.”
The winter of film and television is real, especially since the beginning of this year, many celebrities and artists in the industry have No work.
In the past, when the film and television industry was booming, third- and fourth-tier stars were looking for a lot of roles, and they could film several movies a year if they were picky. Now, if one is invited to one, they have to hurry up and take it.
"The resources of your Hyatt are just like that. Although Jia Shikai has good connections in the industry, he lacks the ability to produce film and television dramas.
And I remember that the first sister of Hyatt is Song Qian. If there is a good opportunity, She has to pick first, and then it might be your turn."
"Brother Wei, what do you mean?"
Wang Churan felt a little excited, she thought Gu Wei wanted to sign Own.
We all know that [Wei Ming Xia] has first-class resources for its artists. Not only has the company produced many hit movies and TV series, it also has cooperative relationships with many big companies in the industry.
Zhang Tianai, the first “10-billion-dollar actress” in domestic entertainment, was created by [Wei Tianxia] with resources.
And with a superstar boss like Gu Wei, it couldn’t be easier to praise people.
Not to mention the stars who have become famous before, Tian Xiwei, who played "Fan Ruoruo" in "Celebrating More Than Years" this year, as well as outstanding actors in "Young You" and "Zhou Chu Removes Three Evils" The Zhou Xi who performed are all new actors under the banner of "Wei Ming Xia".
The two are similar in age to Wang Churan, but their resources are much better than hers.
Gu Wei glanced at her and knew what Wang Churan was thinking, but he didn’t have that I mean, continue to talk about myself:
"If newcomers want to become famous quickly, TV dramas or idol dramas are a shortcut.
When I first debuted, I also became popular through [Gu Jian Qi Tan]."
"I remember. Your first work is [Embroidered Spring Knife], right?" Wang Churan said.
Gu Wei smiled and said: "It's [Xiu Chun Dao], yes, but after filming [Xiu Chun Dao], I can't be considered popular.
After all, the movie only lasts two hours. .
It's very difficult to make the audience like you in these short two hours.
TV dramas are different. Dozens of episodes often take a month to air.
And the audience of idol dramas is young men and women, and it is easiest to become fans."
Wang Churan nodded in agreement.
Gu Wei continued: "The current TV drama market is different from It’s different from the past. The influence of the platform is growing and it has slowly formed a one-stop industrial chain from production to broadcasting.
Many old TV drama production companies are now actively cooperating with major platforms. Especially after the "salary limit order" was issued by radio and television, TV stations' film purchase fees have been reduced. If high-cost TV dramas want to make money, they must rely on online platforms.
I know that major platforms have also signed some artists one after another, but the development is mostly average.
If you want to make progress and develop well in the future, it is best to choose one of the "Aitengyou" and sign a film and television contract."
After Gu Wei finished speaking, he picked up the juice in front of him and drank it. After taking a sip, he said that these are all for Wang Churan's consideration.
If newbies want to get ahead quickly, they have to keep filming. Whichever drama becomes popular will naturally become popular, and the three video platforms film a large number of self-made dramas every year. , if you want to participate, you must either be a popular star yourself or be one of your own
"But this is not my decision," Wang Churan said hesitantly.
She thinks what Gu Wei said makes sense, but she is still a new actress, and she relies on the resources of her agency to take on roles. If she is not famous, she has no right to speak.
The signing platform puts it simply. First, your agency must agree, and secondly, the platform must also be willing to hire her.
Gu Wei glanced at her.
“You go back and tell the company about this matter, and say it was me who mentioned it.
Jia Shikai is a smart man and he will not be unwilling.
You are not well-known now, you have created very little value for the company, and you are still in the blood-sucking stage.
Signing up with the video platform will pass on this part of the training cost, and Hyatt can pay a lot less.
As for the benefits that are divided, it is only the film and television part. Only by making the cake bigger can we get more.
If one day you become a top star, even excluding the film and television parts, other endorsements and commercial performances will be enough for Hyatt to make a lot of money.
As for the platform, "Aitengyou" and I have a good cooperative relationship, so it's no problem to push you there."
"Brother Wei, I listen to you"
Although it's not a sign-in [Wei Mingxia], but Gu Wei can think about this for her, Wang Churan is very happy
Of course she wants to become a big star when she studies acting and enters the entertainment industry, but how can she become famous and what should she do in the future. She was not very clear about it.
Having a top celebrity in the entertainment industry like Gu Wei help her plan her career would definitely save her a lot of detours. After having breakfast, she stayed warm with Wang Churan for a while. , Gu Wei left the hotel and got on the car to the airport
“.We have already communicated with [Noon Sunshine], and we can sign the [Start] contract upon our return this time.
Because it is a web drama with only 15 episodes, the production cost is limited. In terms of remuneration, we can only give 10 million + 30% dividend."
On the way back, Yang Dan told Gu Wei about the results of the negotiation with [Noon Sunshine].
I met Hou Hongliang at the Magnolia Awards Ceremony last month and received an invitation to star in "The Beginning". It has only been officially confirmed now.
In fact, after Gu Wei came back, he thought about it and decided to take on the film. However, taking a film is a film, and the benefits should not be compromised.
10 million salary is nothing. When Gu Wei was filming a TV series a few years ago, his salary was close to hundreds of millions.
It’s just [the beginning] After all, it is a small-cost online drama, and the investment is not high, only 50 million.
Today is different from the past. After the "salary limit order" was introduced, the selling price of TV series dropped, resulting in lower production costs and actors' remuneration.
The General Administration stipulates that the total remuneration of all actors in a drama must not exceed 40% of the total investment.
Gu Wei's 10 million is already the total salary of all other actors, including the heroine.
Of course, the most important thing is the 30% dividend.
"Who has the heroine chosen at noon?"
Gu Wei has read the script, and it is no different from the version in the original time and space.
“It hasn’t been decided yet, the crew has just started preparations, and they have been waiting for a reply from us during this period”
Gu Wei nodded.
"Go back and tell Director Sun Molong to recommend Zhao Jinmai as the heroine."
"I understand."
Gu Wei made the recommendation, and the matter was basically settled. Unless Zhao Jinmai doesn't answer.
It’s not that Gu Wei doesn’t take care of his own artists. In fact, Zhou Xi and Tian Xiwei are also qualified for the role of “Li Shiqing” in [The Beginning].
It's just that the original version was played by Zhao Jinmai after all, and Gu Wei and Mai Mai have a very good relationship. The little girl calls him "brother" every time, and is very enthusiastic every time they meet. He really treats him as an older brother, so how can he be embarrassed to take it? People's roles.
After Gu Wei returned to the capital, Rao Xiaozhi also returned to the company with other staff members within two days, preparing to start the post-production of [The Crowd].
The filming of [Lovers 2], directed by Cui Rui and produced by Wen Mu, was completed two months ago. Now that the post-production is done, Gu Wei took the three directors together for a dinner.
At the dinner table, Rao Xiaozhi and Wen Mu also complained about the project that Guo Fan threw to him.
“Haha, this is something Guo Fan can do. People on the Internet call him “Cyber Succubus” and say it’s a pity that he doesn’t do MLM.
You have said so much, but you still have to seriously work on this project for him."
Wen Mu is also an acquaintance with Guo Fan, and knows the other person's character and conduct well.
Gu Wei He smiled and said, "Although Guo Fan can be a bit tricky sometimes, I have to say that he is indeed a good person with great vision and ability.
I took a look at the movie "A Long Journey Back" that I gave to Director Rao, and it was indeed a very good project.
The subject matter is very good, and once it’s filmed, it will definitely gain both box office and word-of-mouth success. ”
After speaking, he looked at Rao Xiaozhi.
“When are you going to start shooting?”
Rao Xiaozhi thought for a while: “I can’t decide now.
[Surge of Crowds] One or two months will be enough to finish it. , but "Long Miles Home" currently only has a rough plot, and the script has not been written yet.
As for the actors, there must be a script before we can start.
This preliminary preparation will take more than half a year at the earliest."
Gu Wei nodded.
"In this case, I will ask the company's screenwriting department to write a version of the script for you first, and then wait for it to be completed. In the later stage of [The Crowd], you can modify it according to your own ideas, which can save time and make it easier.
As for the preliminary preparations, we will have to discuss it with Guo Fan and Lu Yang. After all, everyone is working together on the movie. Since Lu Yang is going to be the producer, he cannot be left idle."
Guo Fan now also has his own company called [Guo Fan (Beijing) Pictures], which is investing in [The Wandering Earth 2] which is in the preparation stage
[Ten Thousand Miles Homeward Journey] is a joint production of [Wei Tianxia], [Guo Fan Pictures], and [Free Cool Whale Pictures].
In the film and television industry, once you become an indispensable person, you are qualified to share the cake.
Gu Wei, Wu Jing, Guo Fan, Lu Yang, Ning Hao, and Xu Zheng are all like this.
Wen Muye and Rao Xiaozhi, both affiliated to [Wei Tianxia], currently have their own studios, which are affiliated with the company. The films they direct will receive a portion of the investment, and they have also made a lot of money in the past few years. The bowl is full.
Wen Muye and Rao Xiaozhi are still willing to work diligently under the banner of [Wei Ming Xia] after their movie success. On the one hand, it is because Gu Wei has been kind to them and trusted them when they were at their lowest. and support.
On the other hand, Gu Wei was never stingy with money, so he had meat to eat with him.
Gu Wei, Wen Muye, and Rao Xiaozhi were mainly talking at the dinner table. Cui Rui mostly listened and rarely interrupted.
He is different from the two directors Wen and Rao. They have already proven themselves by making big-selling movies, and they are successful and famous. He is still a newcomer.
After signing with the company, he participated in the project of the web drama "Detective Chinatown" as the executive director, and then was arranged by the company to direct "Lovers 2".
He is actually under a lot of pressure. After all, the first part of "Love Saint" was a big hit, and director Wen Mu also became famous with "I'm Not the God of Medicine". He is very afraid of making "Love Saint 2" Smashed.
"Mr. Gu, the post-production of [Love Saint 2] has been completed now. When will it be released?"
Cui Rui couldn't help but ask during the chat.
Gu Wei thought for a while: "Let's take a look at the Lunar New Year stalls. The eleventh slot coming soon will definitely be too late, and with several domestic blockbusters being released at the same time, this year's eleventh stall will definitely be very crowded.
< br>Then there are the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival stalls. For the Spring Festival stalls, the company's "Tang Detective 3" and "Love Saint 2" have been arranged to be released in the Lunar New Year stalls between December and New Year's Day."
He finished Wen Mu on the side also laughed and said: "Director Cui is very talented. I watched the entire filming and editing of [Lovers 2]. The movie has a lot of baggage, lots of laughs, and a high degree of completion of the story. It will definitely be a great movie." A box-office hit comedy! ”
Cui Rui waved his hands after hearing this: "Thanks to the help of the literary director during the filming, he gave me a lot of guidance and suggestions, otherwise the filming of [Love Saint 2] would not have been so smooth."
Gu Wei said with a smile: " There is no need for you two to compliment each other, I believe in your abilities, but we have to see how the movie performs after it is released."
After that, he looked at Wen Muye.
"[Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils] has been released for almost two months, and the current box office is 2.86 billion, which has reached its limit.
I plan to hold a celebration party in the capital in the next two days ”
"Internally or externally?"
"Internally, this movie will not have a sequel. It will be released soon and there is no need to promote it. The main thing is to celebrate and make everyone happy.
Of course. , red envelopes are indispensable.”
Original Time and Space’s summer season this year is dominated by [Eight Hundred], which grossed 3.1 billion at the box office.
However, due to the addition of [Zhou Chu Sanzhi] and the first-mover advantage, many viewers belonging to [Eight Hundred] were attracted away.
The two movies worked together to boost the summer market, but "Zhou Chu" failed to reach 3 billion in the end, and "Eight Hundred" only reached 1.48 billion, less than half of the original time and space.
