Spring Festival travel is an unavoidable topic for Chinese people.

It is known as the largest cyclical human migration in human history.

In about 40 days, more than 3 billion people moved, accounting for 3/7 of the world's population (about 7 billion people), which is equivalent to two major migrations of people across the country.

Beijing, one of the largest cities in the country, is the most severely affected during the Spring Festival.

The capital’s population has been decreasing since January when students went on holiday.

This situation intensified a few days before New Year's Eve, because the statutory Spring Festival holiday is coming soon, and many office workers whose families come to Beijing to work hard in other places will ask for leave a day or two in advance to return to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year.

According to statistics, the permanent population of Beijing is about 21 million, but there are only 14 million locals with real household registration in the capital, which means that about 7 million non-locals will leave during the Spring Festival.

This does not include those who have obtained household registration in the capital but their hometowns are in other places. They will still leave during the New Year.

So in the past two days when Gu Wei was commuting to get off work, he saw fewer and fewer people and cars on the street.

Nazha had already boarded a plane back to the border yesterday. Her parents and sister were waiting for her to return home for the New Year.

"I know, Mom, you don't need to wait for me, and don't worry, I'll take the first grade flight home.

Don't worry, you and my dad can just watch my performance at the Spring Festival Gala at home.

That's for sure, your son is the most handsome!

"

In the office, Gu Wei hung up the condolence call from his mother.

After all, I couldn't celebrate the New Year with my family this year, and it was my first time to attend the Spring Festival Gala. Mother Gu was both regretful and proud of her son, so she called him worriedly.

Because tomorrow is New Year's Eve, there are not many staff in the company, and many people from other places have already asked for leave in advance and returned home.

"Boss, we have purchased the rights to [Brewster's Millionaire] from Universal Pictures. Do you think the next step is to hire someone to write the script?"

Zhao Mingcheng, general manager of the film and television company in the office, reports.

Gu Wei thought for a while and said:

"Don't worry, screenwriter. You can contact the two directors Yan Fei and Peng Damo of [Happy Twist] and ask them if they are willing to take on this drama.

If they agree, give them the screenwriting job as well.

Anyway, this is an adapted movie, it has the same big frame as the original version, it just needs to localize some content. "

After acquiring the copyright of "Brewster's Millionaire", the movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City" which was a box office hit in the original space and time can no longer escape.

The original script was originally written by the two directors, and there won't be too many problems if they can do it again.

Although Gu Wei can do it, he is the boss after all. If he can be lazy, he will definitely not arrange too much work for himself, and it will only cost an extra screenwriter's money.

"Boss, Yan Fei and Peng Damo have been working as stage directors at Happy Twist. They have never made a movie. Should we find more famous directors in other circles?

In fact, you can contact director Ning Hao and ask him if he is willing to take on this movie? "

Zhao Mingcheng hesitated and put forward his own suggestion.

At this time, Yan Fei and Peng Damo are still two directors who have been rooted in stage dramas all year round.

Since Shen Teng and Mary attended the Spring Festival Gala, they were responsible for directing the Spring Festival Gala sketch of "Happy Twist".

Although the filming of their debut film "Charlotte", directed by the two, has been completed, it will not be released until the second half of this year.

Therefore, Zhao Mingcheng is skeptical about whether the two directors can make a good movie.

Gu Wei completely understood his concerns, but he was the one who had seen the answer after all. The movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City" was not a last resort, and Gu Wei did not want to change its original director.

After all, the director has a great influence on the movie. The same script and the same actors may be shot by two different directors and produce completely different effects.

The gap between them can be worlds apart.

Since the original version of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" has been filmed very well and can be said to have achieved both box office and word-of-mouth success, there is no need to make unnecessary changes.

Of course, this time the heroine has nothing to do with the Wanwan girl. He can use it to praise the people in his company. After all, it is a flamboyant heroine, and anyone can play it.

"Don't worry, I've seen the stage plays they directed, and they are the kind of very talented comedy directors.

Just contact them normally and try to make sure they can take on the movie.

Don’t be stingy about fees and try to be generous. "

"Understood, I will definitely handle it."

Seeing that Gu Wei was determined to do this, Zhao Mingcheng stopped trying to persuade him.

He has implemented many of Gu Wei's decisions since he joined the company. No matter how ridiculous they seemed at the time, the final result was success, so he has blind trust in Gu Wei.

This year's Spring Festival Gala has undergone major changes compared to previous years. There have been fewer singing and dancing programs and more language programs.

There were a total of 39 programs in the entire gala, of which 10 were language programs, 3 were cross talk, and 7 were sketches. This ratio was unprecedented in previous Spring Festival Galas.

It seems that director Feng Xiaogang directed the Spring Festival Gala last year and reduced language programs, which ultimately led to a decrease in both word-of-mouth and ratings. This still gave this year's director team a certain warning.

However, looking at the program list, the stars of this year’s Spring Festival Gala are dimmer than in previous years.

You can see it by comparing it.

Last year’s Spring Festival Gala featured stars from all walks of life including Cheng Long, Li Ming, Zhang Jiahui, Ge You, Yao Ming, Huang Bo, Liu Huan, Yu Chengqing, Chen Kelly, etc.

Moreover, they also invited Lee Min Ho, a long-legged Obama who was popular in Asia at the time, and Sophie Marceau, who is known as the French Kiss.

This year, in addition to Liu Dehua, there are also Zhang Fengyi, Zhu Yawen, Duan Yihong, Na Ying, Mok Wenwei, Deng Ziqi, Li Yuchun and others.

It can be seen from this comparison that except for one Liu Dehua, the others cannot compare with last year.

Of course, it is possible that the directing team spent all their energy on language programs and did not pay much attention to inviting celebrities.

On New Year's Eve, the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala was still so crowded. In the halls and corridors, all kinds of dancers and actors who were going to perform were nervously preparing. Although they had rehearsed over and over again, they were about to compete with the whole country. When the audience met, everyone was still feeling a little uneasy.

In Gu Wei's dressing room, he and Zeng Li had put on their makeup and were chatting with Shen Teng and Mary, who were also prepared.

Shen Teng and the others are not as prestigious as Gu Wei to have a separate dressing room. There are a lot of comedians in this year's Spring Festival Gala. They use the public dressing room with other sketch actors. After they have done it themselves, they have to make room for others.

After several rehearsals, Shen Teng's relationship with Gu Wei had become very good. After putting on makeup, he simply came to stay with Gu Wei.

“Brother Teng, how have you considered what I mentioned to you?

Can you [Happy Twist] stop you from filming? "

During the last rehearsal, Gu Wei mentioned the matter of filming with him to Shen Teng. Shen Teng was surprised at the time, but did not agree immediately. He just said that he would go back and seek the company's permission. After all, he was [Happy Twist] ] actor.

Before Shen Teng could reply, Mary on the side interrupted:

"He must have agreed. He couldn't be happier! He even boasted about it to us when he went back.

Say you have a keen eye for recognizing talents, and his talent was finally discovered, etc.~

Isn’t that right, Brother Teng? "

Shen Teng had a smile on his face and didn't feel any embarrassment at being teased by Mary.

"Of course, my brother's vision is definitely on the same level as Bole's. Doesn't this mean he has discovered my thousand-mile horse!"

"You Chollima are a bit old~"

Mary continued what Shen Teng said.

Gu Wei watched them chatting with a smile on his face.

"Okay, since you have no objection, Brother Teng, I will ask someone from the company to contact your agent later."

"Don't worry, brother, if you find this movie, I will wait for it to be a box office hit!"

Shen Teng patted his chest in assurance, but his seemingly serious expression always felt like he was joking with you.

Shen Teng never expected that he would meet a big star like Gu Wei during the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal. After being contacted, he inexplicably accepted a movie, and he was the male protagonist.

I think he is a handsome military art school boy. He has been hanging out in stage plays after graduation. In the past few years, although he took the opportunity to perform in sketches and appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, he has gained a certain reputation, but he is still far away from appearing on the big screen. It's still far away.

Last year [Happy Twist] finally made up its mind to enter the film and television industry and adapted the critically acclaimed stage play [Charlotte's Sorrow] into a movie for the big screen. As the mainstay of [Happy Twist], he naturally had the opportunity to play the male lead. Lord's opportunity.

Now that the movie has been filmed, I still don’t know how it will fare in subsequent releases. Unexpectedly, a new movie will come to my door.

It feels like pie is falling from the sky without doing anything.

Thinking that in order to star in the movie version of "Charlotte", he had agreed to many conditions of the company, and had given him the male lead in another movie after just a few words with Gu Wei. When he saw Gu Wei, he was particularly kind and felt that this little brother You are so in tune with yourself, and you must take advantage of it in the future.

Gu Wei also looked at Shen Teng happily.

‘You earn fame and I earn money. We have always been good brothers! ’
