Huayu is free to do as you like

"I love you walking alone in a dark alley

I love you without kneeling

Loving you and facing despair

I refuse to cry."

It is said that the most useful way to make someone hate a song is to set it as your ringtone.

Since the song was released, [Lonely Warrior] has become Gu Wei’s cell phone ringtone.

Recently, he has considered whether to change his ringtone to a different song.

Gu Wei, who was sleeping soundly in bed, was awakened by the singing. He rubbed his slightly aching head, reached for the phone on the bedside, and looked at the time. It was already past 10 a.m.

Yesterday, the filming of [Xiu Chun Knife 2] officially wrapped up, and a wrapping banquet was held in the evening.

Gu Wei drank a few more drinks under the toasts of everyone, and exercised a lot when he came back in the evening, so he slept until the morning of the next day.

After seeing the name on the caller ID, Gu Wei cleared his throat and picked up the phone.

"Director Han, I am Gu Wei."

The person who made the call was none other than Han Sanping, the chairman of China Film Group Corporation.

"Gu Wei, I didn't disturb your rest, did I?"

"No, [Xiu Chun Dao 2] just wrapped up yesterday, and today I am preparing to pack up and return to Beijing.

Director Han, do you have anything to do with me? "

Some were confused as to why Han Sanping would call him at this time.

He is currently cooperating with China Film Group on two and a half projects. The shooting of "Xiu Chun Dao 2" has been completed. The later stage is the matter of director Lu Yang and has nothing to do with him.

[Detective Chinatown 2] He has promised to maintain China Film’s share of investment in the first film, but how much of the 10% investment will need to be discussed further.

After all, this second part is 100% about making a lot of money. Except for the main control [Wei Tianxia], other investors need to pay a premium.

However, the premium depends on how many other resources the investor can provide. If there are more other resources, the premium will be less, and if there are less, the premium will be more.

This is the case for China Film, Enlight, and Wanda, and they have no objections to this.

Everyone is optimistic about the future box office of "Tang Detective 2", and the most optimistic one is Wang Changtian of Guangguang, who now has a huge trust in Gu Wei.

I don’t think it’s a problem for [Tang Detective 2] to surpass the current box office champion [Fast and Furious 7].

The other half of the project is the script "The Road of Life" written by Han Sanping's daughter Han Jianu. The script has been revised several times and is becoming more and more perfect.

Gu Wei expressed his attitude and promised to finance the filming of the film.

Han Sanping did not let China Film participate in the investment to avoid suspicion, but after all, it was his daughter's script. If there were any problems during post-production and release, he would definitely help solve it, so it can be regarded as half a project together.

"I heard that the crew of [The Great Wall] asked you to play a role two days ago, but you rejected it?"

Han Sanping asked gently on the other end of the phone.

"Director Han, I really don't have time, my subsequent filming schedule is very full~"

Gu Wei explained.

In fact, the crew of "The Great Wall" gave Gu Wei the role played by Lu Han in the original version, but Gu Wei read the script they sent and there were more scenes than he saw in the original version.

Presumably in order to invite him, a lot of drama was added to that character.

But Gu Wei really has no interest in playing a supporting role for a Hollywood star, even Matt Damon.

Even though he had fame and resources, he couldn't afford to take the initiative to befriend Zhang Yimou.

With his box office appeal, if there is a suitable role, Lao Mouzi will definitely take the initiative to find him. Even if he can't think of it, the management will give him suggestions. After all, no one can live with money.

Moreover, although "The Great Wall" did well at the box office, its reputation was not good, which is consistent with its status as a co-production.

All co-productions, whether they are from China, the United States, China, Japan or China and South Korea, are basically not good at the box office. They either fail at the box office or have a very bad reputation. Without exception.

So Gu Wei declined the invitation without hesitation.

Han Sanping on the other side of the phone paused after hearing Gu Wei's words.

"I know you are very busy right now and your schedule is very full.

It's just that the film "The Great Wall" is very important to China Film.

If you really don’t want to play an important role, can you come over and make a guest appearance as a friendly guest star?

It only takes a day or two and won't delay your other things.

Just do me a favor. "

Han Sanping really wanted Gu Wei to star in "The Great Wall", but instead of using his status to pressure others, he sincerely asked Gu Wei for help.

"Third Master, you have said so, how can I refuse?"

Gu Wei said with a wry smile.

He finally understood what it was like to film for favors, but with his fame and status he still couldn't completely avoid this situation.

He had to give Han Sanping face. Regardless of his status as the chairman of China Film and Television, Gu Wei had been taken care of by him since his debut. From "Xiu Chun Dao" to "Detective Chinatown", if he hadn't been optimistic about Gu Wei, The filming and release of the movie will not go so smoothly either.

Because of his presence, he helped Gu Wei fend off the hostility of many other film and television companies. Without China Film, when [Tang Detective] and Feng Xiaogang's [Private Customization] were competing in the ring, Huayi Brothers might have used some tricks.

"Haha~ I'm sorry to trouble you this time. If you have anything to do in the future, just tell me.

Although I am older, I am still a bit thin in the circle. As long as it is not a matter of principle, I will help you with whatever I can. "

Han Sanping smiled and promised.

"Third Master, you are so polite. Miss Han and I have a movie to collaborate on. We are all our own people."

The friendship of starring in "The Great Wall" was exchanged for Han Sanping's commitment, and the relationship between the two has taken a further step, which is not a loss.

After a few more polite words, Gu Wei hung up the phone.

Yang Mi, who was lying on his side, was awakened by Gu Wei's call.

Her small white hands were placed on Gu Wei's strong chest, and one of her round and slender thighs was riding on Gu Wei's body. Her body was pressed tightly against his side, and she was not sleeping well.

"Who is calling you so early?"

Yang Mi opened her sleepy eyes and frowned slightly, like a lazy cat.

"It's already past 10 o'clock, Sister Mi."

The hand that was placed on Gu Wei's chest scratched out of habit. The touch of the muscles was very good, and the slender hand slid down naturally.

“Isn’t it not noon yet? We’ve finished shooting the movie, so of course we need to take a good rest.

Who disturbs people's dreams so early in the morning? "

“China Film’s Han Sanping~”

Gu Wei said with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Han Sanping?"

Yang Mi muttered something in a low voice, and then exclaimed:

"The chairman of China Film Group Corporation, Mr. Han Sanye, the eagle on a mountain?"

"Next time I see Director Han, do you want to tell him about you calling him a mountain eagle?"

Gu Wei said to Yang Mi with a smile.

"Uh~ A slip of the tongue, definitely a slip of the tongue.

I have always admired Director Han very much. I have always heard about his deeds before, but unfortunately I was only limited by fate. "

Yang Mi added.

"Do you have any other projects to collaborate with China Film Group?"

She knew that one of the producers of the just-finished "Xiu Chun Knife 2" was China Film, and it seemed that Gu Wei had a good relationship with China Film since he entered the industry.

But Yang Mi was surprised when Han Sanping called him personally. He was the chairman of China Film Group Corporation and one of the most powerful people in the entertainment industry.

“I was asked to play a role in the blockbuster film [The Great Wall] co-produced by China and the United States, but I rejected it.

Director Han wanted me to come over and make a guest appearance as a friendly appearance. "

As soon as Gu Wei finished speaking, Yang Mi heard his hands tighten, and Gu Wei couldn't help but take a breath.

"Sister Mi, please be gentle and take good care of your own happiness."

Gu Wei frowned and blurted out.

"I'm sorry~ What you just said shocked me."

Yang Mi apologized repeatedly.

"Is it the Hollywood-level blockbuster [The Great Wall] directed by Zhang Yimou?"

she asked again.

"Yes, this is probably the only movie named [The Great Wall] in China right now."

Gu Wei said nonchalantly.

"You rejected this movie. What did you think?"

Yang Mi's voice rose a little, and she was very puzzled.

"The role I was initially given was just a supporting role with a little more screen time. The real protagonist of this drama is Matt Damon. It's not interesting to support him."

Gu Wei explained.

"you really"

Yang Mi really didn't say the next words for a long time.

"I don't even know how to say hello to you. For a movie of this level, all domestic actors are eager to participate. Even just showing their faces will be bragging rights in the future. Why don't you cherish it at all?"

Yang Mi felt sad about Gu Wei's waste of resources. If she could get the invitation, she would not give up even if it only had one line and a few scenes.

A movie of this level and directed by Zhang Yimou is the top resource she dreams of.

"I have said that I am not the protagonist, and the movie has no investment from me. For the salary, I can't afford to play a supporting role.

So what if it's "The Great Wall", I feel like my other movies won't necessarily be worse than it. "

What Gu Wei said was true.

"Then did you agree to be a friendly star later?"

"Well, originally the invitation sent to me by the crew was rejected, but Director Han called me personally, and I had to give it to him because of his respect.

Fortunately, he was very considerate of me and helped me change my role into a guest appearance. "

Gu Wei is actually quite satisfied with the revised cameo. He can gain popularity without wasting time, which is more cost-effective.

"After [Left Ear], your box office appeal was noticed by everyone. You single-handedly brought the box office of a small-budget movie to more than 700 million. It is indeed a bit exaggerated.

Han Dongfei wants you to participate in the show to use your influence to promote it so that more people can enter the theater. "

Yang Mi analyzed.

Gu Wei also understands this very well. He is now like Shen Teng in the future. Any comedy movie where he participates will definitely attract a large number of audiences to watch the movie.

Afterwards, the Happy Twist team became so shameless that no matter what they filmed, Shen Teng was always taken over, even if he only had a supporting role in a few scenes, he would be promoted as a starring role.

There was even a movie "The Hotel The Sun Never Sets" starring Huang Cailun. Shen Teng himself did not appear at all. There was only a paper figure of his image in the movie.

"The investment in [Great Wall] is said to be US$150 million. The cost is too high. I can understand what Director Han did."
