Chapter 121 Return to Beijing
After the media left, the crew first came up to congratulate Gu Wei, and then prepared to continue filming under the director's instructions.
"Gu Wei, congratulations, the movie has exceeded one billion in box office.
One billion, how much money do you have to earn? "
Zhao Liying, who had just finished filming, congratulated Gu Wei, and then looked forward to how much money he could make.
"What are you thinking about? I'm just the director, and the investors are the ones who really make the big bucks."
"But I remember that your company is also a film production company, right?" Zhao Liying was not confused.
"It was produced by me, China Film, Wanda, and Enlight. I am just one of them."
As Gu Wei said this, he thought to himself, ‘So I am the investor who made the big bucks’.
The film will announce its investors, but the specific investment ratio will not be stated.
When Gu Wei said this, Zhao Liying would only think that he only had a small share of the investment because of his status as a director.
Gu Wei smiled and thanked the actors who came to congratulate him.
Zhao Liying was booing on the side, "Director Gu, you can't treat us to celebrate such great news!"
Gu Wei didn't care, he thought about it and told everyone.
"After the show is over today, how about I treat everyone to a big dinner?"
"Brother Wei, you are so awesome~"
Several actors were also very happy that Gu Wei was treating them so they could get closer to him.
After the show ended in the evening, Gu Wei asked his assistant to find a higher-end restaurant near the set.
Several main actors from the crew, including Zhao Liying, were invited.
When Gu Wei treated us to a treat, everyone was very considerate, and the atmosphere at dinner was particularly good.
Gu Wei discovered that except for Zhao Liying, the supporting cast members of "Shan Shan Is Here" were all relatively small-time losers in the industry, but they were surprisingly good people.
There is nothing messy. The two hosts established their relationship early and are said to be planning a wedding.
The second male lead and the second female lead have no backgrounds, but they both graduated from acting schools and have been filming seriously in the industry.
Judging from his usual words and deeds, he is not someone who wants to take shortcuts.
Even though Gu Wei is so popular now and is the director of a hit movie, they just show respect to him and are not particularly flattering. This kind of character is really rare in the industry.
After a meal, the relationship between everyone became closer, which will also be beneficial to the crew's future filming.
The next day, when Gu Wei and the others went to work on the set in a good mood, reports about "Detective Chinatown" breaking one billion were also released on the Internet.
# [Detective Chinatown] has a box office of over 1 billion, and comedy is the real outlet for domestic films! #
# Gu Wei! A new member of the billion-dollar director club! #
# Let me reveal to you the secrets of the youngest director in history, Gu Wei! #
##
Gu Wei, who was still filming on the set, was reminded by his assistant to read the news online when he was taking a break.
Gu Wei was very happy to see it, but he still knew very well that his current fame was only temporary.
Just like Xu Zheng, even though he is number one in film history, everyone still treats him as an actor.
The same goes for Gu Wei, not to mention that he is younger and needs more success to consolidate his position.
The filming of the crew was a little uneventful, and soon the time came to the 12th.
"Tang Detective" was released for five weeks. By the fifth week, the single-day box office had dropped below 1 million, and the movie's box office potential had been exhausted. Gu Wei discussed with China Film and did not choose to postpone it and released it at the normal time.
It will be released from December 11th to now.
"Tang Detective" was released for a total of 32 days, with a box office of 1.023 billion, ranking third in the domestic movie box office, only behind "囧" and "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons".
Gu Wei has also grown from an unknown little actor to a major director at the domestic box office, second only to Xu Zheng and Zhou Xingchi.
Even though he was mentally prepared, the news did not make Gu Wei too excited.
After receiving a call from his agent, the company in Beijing had some matters waiting for him to go back to deal with, so he asked the director for leave and returned to Beijing.
After rushing back to the company, Zhao Mingcheng approached Gu Wei.
"Mr. Gu, [Princess Princess Promotion Story] has been completed in the later stages. Do you want to review it?"
"OK."
Gu Wei is still very interested in this.
The two of them came to the company's viewing room together, where Director Lu Xiao was also present.
Gu Wei said hello to him, and the three of them sat down to watch a show together.
After playing two episodes in a row, Gu Wei's face was already full of smiles.
This version of [Princess] is basically the same as the original time and space style, but the costumes and props are more sophisticated, so it doesn't look so rough.
Generally speaking, it is better than the original space-time three-pointer.
Gu Wei felt that [Princess]'s success was no problem, so he was naturally very happy.
The staff was not asked to continue showing the film.
"Director, the film was shot very well, I'm very satisfied."
Hearing what Gu Wei said, Lv Xiao was also very happy. After all, it was a very pleasant thing for the results of his hard work to be recognized by others.
"Thanks to Mr. Zhao's strong support and the actors' hard work during filming, we were able to achieve the current effect."
The guide said modestly.
After coming out of the screening room, Zhao Mingcheng was asked to inform the key members of the company to come to the conference room for a meeting. 2014 has begun, and some plans have to be put on the agenda.
In the company's small conference room, everyone took their seats.
"Mr. Zhao, since [Princess] is already a film, hurry up and negotiate with the three major video broadcast platforms to sell the film. Compare the prices horizontally, and then we will discuss who to sell it to.
I value "The Princess" very much. This is the first TV series independently produced by the company. Although it is only an online drama, I believe that with its quality, it will not be a problem to become a hit after it is released.
This drama can't be sold cheaply. You should talk to them slowly first. "
Zhao Mingcheng heard this and immediately replied.
"Understood, Mr. Gu, I will report to you at any time the conditions and progress of the negotiation."
Zhao Mingcheng actually attaches much more importance to "The Princess" than Gu Wei imagined. He is one of the people in the company who hopes most for the success of this drama.
“Besides, since the filming of [Princess] has been completed, the company’s filming team cannot be idle.
There is a novel called "Yu Zui" in the company's copyright library, and we will shoot it for our next movie. "
Zhao Mingcheng thought for a while. He had seen the novel "Yu Zui" in the copyright library and had a general understanding of the content.
"As for the director, do we need to use the company's own people?"
When planning to shoot a film, the first thing to do is to find a director. The two directors currently contracted by Gu Wei's company were his assistant directors when filming "Tang Detective".
Among them, director Zhao Xin also filmed two song MVs for him.
Gu Wei hesitated for a moment, but did not agree with Zhao Mingcheng's opinion, and decided to use the director of the original version of "Yu Zui".
After all, the presence of a director is so important when it comes to filming. The same script, shot by two different directors, will produce completely different effects.
Now that the original version had proven to be a success, there was no need for him to take the risk of changing directors.
If the TV series he shoots after the change hits the market, he will regret it.
Zhang Rui, the director of the original version of "Remaining Crime", is a 96-level graduate of the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy. He is Lu Yang's senior brother and a former student of Mr. Xu.
So Gu Wei is not worried at all that he will not accept this drama.
With this relationship, and the fact that Gu Wei has always been generous to his collaborators, his remuneration is the highest in the industry.
I believe Director Zhang Rui has no reason to refuse.
"Mr. Gu, do you want to play the male lead yourself?"
"No, the male lead is looking for Zhang Yishan. I will tell him about this. The other roles will be decided slowly after the crew is ready. We must arrange some actors that the director is satisfied with."
After explaining some things, Gu Wei saw Yang Liwen sitting on the side, hesitant to speak.
"Sister Yang, do you have anything to say?"
Yang Liwen listened to Gu Wei ask herself and calmed down.
"Mr. Gu, can we sign Zhang Tianai and Li Xian to the company.
If they play the male and female protagonists in the TV series produced by our company, they can be regarded as trained by us. After all, they are not well-known at all yet.
Since you have so much confidence in this TV series, wouldn't it be a big loss for us if we didn't sign them in advance and wait until the TV series became a hit?
And I heard Mr. Zhao mention that Li County intentionally wanted to sign with our company when filming. "
What Yang Liwen said was reasonable and well-founded.
She is Gu Wei's agent and a veteran of the company's entrepreneurship.
Now it seems that the company is getting better and better, but it has always been the film and television company that is developing. Zhao Mingcheng, Mr. Zhao who came after her, sees a bright future.
She also knew that she could only work as an artist agent and could not do work in film and television production.
But there are some good opportunities right now.
She is Gu Wei's agent and also the person in charge of the studio. According to her idea, she can use the production company to sign more outstanding newcomers to the studio, and she can also concentrate on artist management.
Finally, the studio can be developed into a specialized artist management company.
By then, we will be able to keep pace with film and television production companies.
Gu Wei thought for a while and then asked Zhao Mingcheng.
"Li County really mentioned that he wanted to sign a contract?"
"Indeed, Mr. Gu, Li Xian did express it to me tactfully when we were on the set. I told him at the time that I was not responsible for the artist management business. I told Manager Yang about this when I returned to the company."
"That's it"
Gu Wei hesitated for a moment. His original intention of opening the studio was to serve himself alone, and he had no intention of signing any new people.
Because he knows that in the future entertainment industry, all famous actors will eventually go to the artist studio.
Pan Yueming, who signed the contract before, was only in the name of the studio, and his original intention was to help him.
He doesn't want to cause trouble and may have conflicts with the artists in the company for profit in the future.
Now it seems that even if he doesn't want to sign others, many people are willing to join his company for the film and television resources he has, and this can also maximize the utilization of film and television resources.
"Sister Yang, I agree to this. Later, you can apply for a new brokerage company using the name of [Wei Tianxia].
From now on, all the company's artists will be signed under the name of this agency.
Since you are planning to sign someone, there is an actor who plays the role of a young eunuch in the cast of "The Princess", named Peng Yuchang. You should sign him too.
Li County is fine, but doesn't Zhang Tianai have an economic company now? "
Gu Wei then raised some questions.
"I have talked with her. Her current economic company is just a small company with few resources. When we signed the contract with her, she was not well-known, so the liquidated damages were not much.
We can definitely dig her out. "
When it comes to this matter, Yang Liwen appears to be particularly professional.
"Okay, Sister Yang, since you have done so much work in advance, then go ahead and do this!"
The remaining two chapters will probably be finished tomorrow morning.
I only wrote so much today.
Dear readers, please forgive me.
I will finish coding as soon as possible, no less than four chapters a day.
