Huayu is free to do as you like

After everything was settled in the sunshine at noon, Gu Wei took Yang Liwen back to the company with satisfaction.

I called Zhang Yishan and told him about the invitation to become the leading actor in the company's new TV series "Yu Zui".

"Gu Wei, you finally thought of your brother." Zhang Yishan on the other side of the phone was very excited.

As we all know, Zhang Yishan made his debut as a child actor and starred in the famous "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" when he was a child.

Then he collaborated with Yang Zi, You Haoran, and Song Dandan on the well-known "Family with Children".

The role of "Liu Xing" made him famous all over the country overnight.

But success is also a "Liu Xing" and failure is a "Liu Xing". Even after having children, he and Yang Zi seemed to be trapped in the roles they played when they were children.

Although he has grown up now, he is still the image of "Liu Xing" in the eyes of the audience.

This troubled him very much. Although there was no shortage of filming, there were basically no protagonists looking for him. Occasionally, there were two who were riding on the popularity of "Family with Children".

Especially this year, his friend Yang Zi, who has the same problem as him, has starred as the heroine in the Noon Sun drama "War in Changsha", thus breaking through his inherent image.

Li Xian, a good friend who was not as good as them, also starred in the TV series with the help of Gu Wei.

How could this keep him from being anxious?

When he had dinner with Gu Wei before, he wanted to speak, but in the end he was afraid that it would be difficult for Gu Wei, so he couldn't.

He knows that his image is not very good, and it will probably be difficult for him to play the leading role in the play.

"Don't get too excited. This show has just been prepared. I just want to tell you that someone from the company will contact you later."

Gu Wei heard Zhang Yishan's reaction and said with a smile.

"Gu Weiqian is so loyal. I will remember this favor."

Gu Wei told him about the role he would play, and he was very satisfied.

For so many years, he has been trying to transform and take off his cloak as a child star, but he has never succeeded.

Gu Wei gave him a good opportunity this time.

After chatting with Zhang Yishan for a few more words, he hung up the phone and called Yang Liwen and Zhao Mingcheng to the office.

"Mr. Gu, Director Zhang Rui has already communicated with him. He is very happy to cooperate with us. After handling personal matters in the past few days, he can devote himself to the preliminary preparations for the TV series." Zhao Mingcheng first talked about [Yu Zui]. Preparatory status.

"Li County has reached an agreement with Meng Ziyi, and they will come to sign the contract in the next two days.

There is a little trouble with Zhang Tianai, but I have already communicated with her personally. As long as we can get liquidated damages, the company behind her will let her go. "

After hearing the reports from the two men, Gu Wei was very satisfied with the progress of their work.

"The male lead of [Yu Zui] has been cast as Zhang Yishan, and the female lead as the busty sister 'Lin Yujing' has been cast as Zhang Tianai. As for Li Xian and Meng Ziyi, they have also been arranged to join the crew and play a role."

Zhao Mingcheng thought for a while.

"Mr. Gu, Li County can let him play the role of 'Xie Bing', and Meng Ziyi can try 'Xie Bing's' girlfriend 'An Jialu'."

"Very good, let's arrange it like this for the time being. When director Zhang Rui is in place, let them try out the scene for him. If it doesn't work, don't force it. Everything depends on the director's opinion.

Although we want to praise our own company's actors, we still focus on the quality of the drama.

Only if the TV series is shot well can the actors in it get the maximum benefit. "

Gu Wei's words set the tone for the casting of "Yu Zui".

"Mr. Gu, [Princess] has negotiated prices with the three major companies. Currently, the highest bid is from Tengxun Video, which is 600,000 per episode."

Zhao Mingcheng then talked about the sales situation of "The Princess".

[Princess] has a total of 37 episodes. If one episode is sold for 600,000 yuan to Tengxun Video, the total will be 22.2 million.

Compared with the production cost of this drama of 5 million, it is already a huge profit.

However, Gu Wei was not satisfied.

Since about 2011, the online copyrights of various popular dramas have skyrocketed year by year.

The hit drama "Bu Bu Jing Xin" in 2011 only sold 700,000 per episode.

By 2015, the online copyright of "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang", which was the most watched in the year, had increased to 2 million episodes.

The entire 92-episode series sold for a whopping 184 million yuan.

Even for Gu Wei's upcoming film "Nirvana in Fire", the online copyright has been sold for 1.5 million yuan per episode, and the entire series has a high price of more than 80 million yuan.

This is not the most exaggerated thing. A few years later, the copyright fee for a movie "Fuyao" produced by Yang Mi was sold for 500 million.

Zhao Liying's "Do You Know" sold for 800 million, and that's just the Internet copyright. The TV series can be sold for another one of the TV stations.

Knowing that making TV dramas has such a bright future, Gu Wei would not stick to movies.

He doesn't have the idea that some people in the circle only want to act in movies and don't like TV series.

I have never felt that so-called movie fans are any more noble than TV drama fans.

After becoming a great director and making a hit movie, he can still come back to make TV series.

Many people couldn't understand his behavior, but Gu Wei himself thought very clearly.

He thinks that he is not a great director or a professional actor. He only does these roles because they are useful to him.

His true identity is just a simple capitalist, and he does whatever he wants to make money.

"Mr. Zhao, go and communicate with Tengxun Video and see if you can renegotiate the price using the method of paid click sharing + advertising sharing.

I am confident in the broadcast volume of this TV series. This method will also prevent Tengxun Video from losing money due to the failure of the TV series. I believe they will agree. "

Yang Liwen on the side hesitated and said

"Mr. Gu, in this case, will the video website manipulate the playback data?"

Before Gu Wei spoke, Zhao Mingcheng explained to her with a smile.

"Manager Yang, you underestimate these video websites. Given their size, the impact and benefits brought by the broadcast of a popular drama are far greater than the little money they allocate to us.

They lose billions a year, and they look down on us, the three of us.

Besides, if our drama becomes popular, there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future. If we cheated this time, wouldn’t it push us to be on the opposite side? "

After handling the company's affairs, Gu Wei will attend the premiere of a new movie in the evening.

The movie is released by Enlight Media, with Chen Zhixi as the producer, and starring Pan Yueming, Qin Hao, and Liu Zi.

Gu Wei was able to attend the movie's premiere only because of favors.

The movie is called "Blooming Youth Goodbye" and the director is Lu Gengxu.

You may not recognize this name, but you will be familiar with it when you mention "Shui Mu Nian Hua".

Lu Gengxu graduated from the Department of Architecture of Tsinghua University. In 2001, he formed the group "Shui Mu Nian Hua" with Li Jian from the same school.

In September of the same year, the group's first album "With You in My Life" was released. In February 2005, he participated in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala with the group and sang the song "With You in My Life".

It is a pity that due to Li Jian's departure in the later period, "Shui Mu Nian Hua" also slowly declined, but in the final analysis, it is also the memory of a generation.

Gu Wei arrived relatively late among the guests. As soon as he got out of the car, the surrounding media noticed that it was him and immediately turned their cameras and flashed their lights.

No one expected that such a little-known small-investment drama would have such a big shot as Gu Wei attending.

Gu Wei walked very quickly, smiling and greeting the surrounding media, and in a few steps he had already entered the screening hall.

This movie's premiere was the shabbiest of all the premieres that Gu Wei had attended. Looking around, it can be said that the stars are dim.

It seems that Enlight Media does not pay much attention to it. Wang Changtian is not here, and Chen Zhixi is in charge of the overall situation.

Seeing Gu Wei arriving, Chen Zhixi and Pan Yueming hurriedly greeted him.

I greeted him with a few polite words, and then introduced him to director Lu Gengxu and actors Qin Hao and Liu Zi.

Everyone got to know each other, and Gu Wei did not overwhelm the guests and followed the staff's guidance to sit down.

The process of the premiere was very simple. The creators came on stage to share interesting stories about the filming of the film. The director expressed some thoughts and answered questions raised by some reporters, and then the film began to be screened.

The whole movie lasts about two hours. After watching the whole movie, Gu Wei felt that the director deserves to be a musician and the songs in the movie are really nice.

As for the plot, there are no surprises, but it is not a bad movie either. The performances of several actors are online.

But it will be difficult for this movie to achieve a high box office, and it will probably be difficult to make back the money.

After the screening, Gu Wei said some good things about the movie during the media interview, then said hello to Chen Zhixi and others and left.

After finishing his business, Gu Wei took the car to the entrance of the film school.

Yang Caiyu, wearing a black woolen coat, had been waiting there for a long time.

Seeing Gu Wei's car arriving, she smiled and quickly walked a few steps into the car.

"Is it cold outside?"

Gu Wei asked.

"Fortunately, I just came out."

Yang Caiyu looked at Gu Wei with joy on her face.

After all, the news about Gu Wei returning to school was spread, or maybe he was seen when he was on campus.

So Yang Caiyu sent him a WeChat message during the day and asked him if he had time to go out for a meal together.

Although time is tight to return to Beijing, I have been busy with work during the day.

But how could Gu Wei refuse classmate Yang's request?

After picking up Yang Caiyu, Gu Wei took her to a relatively high-end two-person world-themed western restaurant in Beijing.

Classmate Yang likes to eat Western food, and Gu Wei knows that.

The only Western restaurant with this theme in Beijing has private rooms.

Gu Wei's current status is no longer suitable for dining alone with other women at night.

It's not that he's afraid of what will happen to his fans if the scandal spreads.

I just don’t think it’s necessary and try to avoid trouble.

The two of them had a simple bite, and Gu Wei replenished his energy. He had been busy from morning to night, and he had used up a lot of energy.

Yang Caiyu ate foie gras elegantly and looked at Gu Wei eagerly.

Today is the first time the two of them have met since "Tang Detective" was released.

She never expected that Gu Wei, whom she was optimistic about at the beginning, would succeed so suddenly.

In just a few months, he went from a fledgling actor and singer to a director with a box office of 1 billion.

It's not that she doesn't understand, it's that the world is too magical.

According to her understanding, new actors should not play supporting roles first and then play the protagonist.

After several dramas, he gradually became known to the audience and finally became a big star.

It felt like Gu Wei didn't follow the routine at all and jumped from the first floor to the 100th floor in one fell swoop.

Although the winter in Beijing is very cold, Yang Caiyu looks very sexy underneath her coat.

Wearing a sexy red dress, delicate and fair skin, and long hair shawl, she perfectly interprets what flaming red lips are.

His eyes were as tender as water, and Gu Wei was a little ready to move.

Gu Wei took a sip of red wine, drank it down, and looked up at Yang Caiyu.

Although the bust is not very plump, the overall temperament is beautiful and charming.

With Gu Wei's relationship with her good friend, he certainly knew what Yang Caiyu wanted.

He hesitated and said

"My company will be launching a TV series recently, and there is a female supporting role in it that is quite suitable for you. Although the role is not big, you will perform well."

Gu Wei was talking about Xu Dongdong's sister-in-law role in "Remaining Crime".

Although Miss Yang is still young, there is nothing wrong with dressing up and playing the role of the mistress of a gangster boss.

Especially with the young and old cast, maybe the performance will be more brilliant than the original version of Xu Dongdong.

Hearing what Gu Wei said, Yang Caiyu smiled happily, like a blooming rose.

"Okay, how dare I, a young actor, refuse Director Gu's invitation."

Although it is only a supporting role, it is a good start.

And she didn't pay anything, she just kept the two of them on good terms.

Her choice in the beginning was so right.

It was another sleepless night. Beauty Yang planned to ask Gu Wei to help her try acting. How could he refuse such a request.

He is a professional director, and it is his job to coach actors in acting.

In the hotel room, Miss Yang plays the role of the mistress of the underworld boss, and uses various methods to tease Gu Wei, the undercover policeman.

However, Gu Wei remained unmoved and was determined.

He knew that the woman in front of him was a bad woman, an existence that he wanted to surrender to.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't escape his powerful blow.

There is only one chapter left, and the rest will be posted tomorrow. It will probably be like this in the future. I will post the rest after coding one chapter.
