Chapter 88: Leading funds to the group again

After leaving Gao Yuanyuan's place, Qi Wei quickly rushed back to the company to meet Wang Jinghua.

Then we went to the audition site of the crew of "Never Rest" together.

Compared with the others, Qi Wei's group is very powerful.

Although he had made some disguise with sunglasses and a baseball cap, someone immediately recognized Qi Wei as soon as he appeared at the audition site.

"Huh? Isn't this Qi Wei? The news said that he is making his second solo album record? Why are you here when you have time?"

"It must be here to audition, that's all."

"He is the one he likes to be a beloved by Lao Taozi! When he comes to the interview, we will definitely have no chance."

"I don't compete for the male lead, I'm looking forward to working with him."

Looking at Qi Wei, the people who came to audition on the spot were talking nonstop, and the few balls who wanted to compete for the male lead were disappointed as if they were leaking their breath.

Of course, there are also smart people who immediately take this opportunity to get close.

He took the initiative to step forward and surrounded Qi Wei.

"I am your fan, can I sign my name for me?"

"How do you think I am? Do you have the chance to participate in your MV?"

"I don't have paper, just sign it with my underwear."

"What good songs have you prepared for the new album? When will the new album be released? I am really looking forward to it. I will buy it as soon as possible."

Some people are too enthusiastic and even have clear hints that Qi Wei finally got rid of.

At this time, the staff who had received the notice led Qi Wei and Wang Jinghua through the internal passage.

I soon met the director of the show, Zhao Baogang and screenwriter Hai Yan.

When they saw Qi Wei himself, their eyes lit up.

A tall man of 1.83 meters tall, who looks slim and undresses, is very fleshy. His handsome and handsome appearance has a little bit of a noble young man's aura, which is really in line with him.

It felt like I saw Xiao Tong in the script.

After a simple conversation, they saw Qi Wei's free conversation. The two looked at each other and nodded.

It is even more certain that Qi and Wei are the best choice.

The decision was made immediately, Lu Yi and Chen Kun were left behind.

The audition is equivalent to passing the motions, and now it is directly on the topic.

Director Zhao Baogang said, "We think you are very suitable for the role of Xiao Tong. I want to invite you to play him. I wonder if you would like to?"

Of course Qi Wei was willing.

The novel "Never Rest in My Eyes" is a main theme work created at the invitation of the National Committee for Responsibility and has won a grand prize.

This is a famous IP.

Therefore, the adaptation of this novel into a TV series immediately attracted a lot of attention and was very popular.

The possibility of the show becoming popular after it was broadcast is also very high.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted so many actors of all sizes to audition.

Of course, Qi Wei, who has memories of later generations, knows better how terrifying the potential of this drama is.

In later generations, after this drama was broadcast, it surpassed "My Fair Princess" in terms of ratings.

However, the theme of this drama is a bit sensitive and has few replays, so it seems that it is not as famous as "My Fair Princess".

You should know that this drama directly made the male lead Lu Yi famous, making him from an unknown junior student in Shanghai Theatre to the number one young actor in the mainland.

The hottest one has been having a lot of show appointments ever since.

They are even more powerful than the two young men who made famous in "The Untamed".

He even won a Grand Slam at the Golden Eagle Awards later, making the young Lu Yi the Golden Eagle Video King.

Qi Wei naturally didn't want to miss such an opportunity.

But Qi Wei still had a problem, so he said apologetically:

"Teacher Haiyan, I really like your creation of "Never Rest in My Eyes". It has always been my dream to play Xiao Tong. I am very willing and thank you for your attention. However, I have been very busy all year this year, so it is probably difficult to leave enough time to shoot this TV series."

Director Zhao Baogang laughed and replied: "When I sent an audition invitation to your agent before, she also talked to me about this matter and told me about your itinerary this year.

Your new album will be released in April and will definitely be able to end the promotional work before June. You will film "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" directed by Huo Jianqi will join the group after September, and there will be three months between this.

We can start the film in June or before, and the three-month time is a little tight, but if you focus on shooting your scenes first, three-month time should be enough, and it will not last more than half a month."

What this means is that Qi Wei will take three and a half months to shoot this movie, and at the latest it will be filmed until mid-September.

If Qi Wei wants to film this movie, he has to leave three and a half months to finish the promotion and distribution work of the second solo album first, or to join the crew of "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog" half a month later, it is decided that Qi Wei himself.

Whether it is the new specialty or the movie "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog", it is a project of Qi Wei's own company and it is easy to communicate with.

The opportunity must not be lost and no longer comes, Qi Wei made a decision after thinking for a while.

He nodded and said, "I will make arrangements here. There is no problem. I am willing to take on this drama."

"Then I welcome your franchise on behalf of the crew of "Never Rest"!"

Screenwriter Hai Yan smiled and took the initiative to reach out to Qi Wei. After the two sides shook hands, director Zhao Baogang was also the producer of the show. He said with a puzzled look on his face:

"Originally, we were planning to start filming in the summer vacation of July after the investment in this drama is in place. Now it's ahead of schedule, and there are some problems with the funds."

Qi Wei asked with understanding: "Do you still lack investment in this drama?"

Zhao Baogang nodded and replied: "There is still a shortage of nearly two million investments."

Although filming TV series will have more "money prospects" than filming movies at this time, it is still difficult to attract investment.

Generally speaking, when film and television companies shoot film and television dramas, they basically invest from outside and use other people's money to make money. In this way, they can ensure income from drought and flood, and basically no risk is required.

The same is true for Hairui Film and Television, which leads this project.

Hairui Film and Television only took a small part of the investment in the TV series "Never Rest in My Eyes", and the rest were basically invested.

There is still a gap of about two million.

Of course, with a big ip like "Never Rest in My Eyes", it is only a matter of time before you can invest, but if you can get investment from Qi Wei, you don't need to get involved with other investors.

Not all investors are so easy to talk about.

Qi Wei used his record company dividends and added a little more film and television company established in total with a total of 5 million yuan. He spent 1 million yuan to invest in "Jiang Love", and invested in "Party A and Party B" to spend 1.5 million yuan. The 3 million investment in "Nanshan, Man and Dog" comes from the income of "Party A and Party B". With some daily expenses, Qi Wei's film and television company account still has more than 2 million yuan.

The film and television company has no projects at the moment, and the money is also left. It is appropriate to withdraw 2 million yuan from the company account to invest in this drama.

This drama is so popular in the future, it is definitely not a loss, and it is very likely to make a big profit.

"This is all my reasons. You two must have heard that I have also established a film and television company. My company will bear the investment of 2 million yuan."

It was also a good opportunity. Without thinking about it, Qi Wei took the initiative to agree.

After reaching cooperation, the two sides exchanged polite greetings.

Qi Wei is now a fund-in-chief. As the drama's financial supporter, he naturally has to exercise the rights of the financial supporter.

So he asked, "Is there a suitable candidate for that Ouyang Lanlan's character?"

During this question, director Zhao Baogang also understood Qi Wei's meaning, thought for a while and said, "Someone recommended Yuan Li to me, and it's quite appropriate to have an audition."

Qi Wei shook his head and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Yuan Li, she is indeed pretty good, but I have a more suitable candidate here, absolutely suitable."

"Oh? Who?" Director Zhao Baogang asked curiously.

"It's also my senior sister of Beijing Electric, but she's at level 88, Xu Qing!"

Qi Wei said again: "Senior Sister Xu Qing has agreed to shoot my MV. I think we will have a more tacit understanding. What do you think?"
