Huayu is free to do as you like

Early the next morning, the early morning sunlight shines through the window.

Liu Yifei, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, twitched her eyelashes slightly, then opened her eyes.

When she found herself lying on the bed, she was startled at first. Then she lifted up the quilt and looked inside. She was relieved when she found that her clothes were neatly arranged.

Then I felt a little disappointed.

He sat up and stretched, his white lotus arms raised high, and his upper body showed graceful curves under the sunlight.

After a deep sleep all night, Liu Yifei felt extremely energetic, but thinking about the sad news last night, her mood dropped again.

What was a big deal to her was just a story to others, and she knew this very well.

So even though she still felt sad in her heart, she never thought about delaying her work. The crew should not be responsible for personal matters.

After washing my face, I patted my fair face with cold water.

He looked in the mirror and encouraged himself:

"Sissi, you can do it, stay strong, come on!"

I simply cleaned myself up and went out to prepare for today's work.

"Sister Yifei, you are here~"

After arriving at the set, Gu Wei looked at her and said with some surprise.

"Um, last night."

Liu Yifei was a little embarrassed.

"You were too tired and fell asleep last night. I put you on the bed."

Gu Wei didn't pay attention and said with a smile.

"Oh~then~thank you!"

Liu Yifei opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she just said thank you.

"You're welcome.

This is what I should do in our relationship~"

Gu Wei smiled, and the morning sunshine shone on his handsome face and also on Liu Yifei's heart, dispelling the gloom and making her feel extremely at ease at this moment.

She felt that Gu Wei's whole body seemed to be radiating warmth.

"Would you like to rest for a few days? I can coordinate with the crew to arrange your scenes later."

Gu Wei asked.

Taking care of Liu Yifei's emotions is one thing, but he is also afraid that the other party's poor condition will affect her performance, thus delaying the filming progress.

"No, no, I can do it, believe me!

I am a professional actor, and personal issues will not affect my work. "

Liu Yifei looked at Gu Wei seriously.

"Okay, since you insist, we will stick to the original shooting plan."

The filming continued, and Liu Yifei did what she said and showed her professionalism as a professional actor. Personal matters did not affect the quality of the filming at all.

In the Zaowang Temple, a group of detectives gathered at the scene of the crime, trying to restore the process of the case.

Gu Wei and his wife Mu Cong looked at the surveillance screen respectively, and the video was fast-forwarded little by little under Nazha's control.

"Four times!"

"Eight times!"

"Sixteen times!"

"Thirty-two times!"

"Come on, Lao Qin, you want to be the fastest man in the world!"

Wang Baoqiang's mean voice came from the side.

"Click! This shot is over."

The assistant director's voice came from the loudspeaker.

Gu Wei ran over and looked at the monitor.

"Okay, this time is good. Let's take a break and take the next shot."

The sound reached the audience, and the actors relaxed.

"Xiao Cui, find someone to arrange the scene according to the requirements of the next shot."

Gu Wei put down the loudspeaker and said to a young-looking man next to him.

He is tall and thin, with fair skin and a bit handsome.

"Okay, director, I'll make arrangements right away~"

Xiao Cui's full name is Cui Rui, and he was brought here by director Susan.

Despite her youth, she is a student at the University of Southern California, majoring in directing.

The full name of the University of Southern California is the School of Cinematic Arts of the University of Southern California, ranking first among the major film schools in the United States.

The famous director George Lucas is an alumnus of the University of Southern California.

Now that it's summer vacation, Cui Rui goes out to work on the set to gain experience. It happens that his mentor is Susan's friend, so he asks Susan to take care of him.

So it was natural for me to join the crew and become an errand boy.

However, capable people will not be buried anywhere, and his excellent performance at work quickly attracted the attention of the director team.

Sometimes Gu Wei was surprised by the opinions raised on some scenes.

"Xiao Cui, what are your plans after you graduate?"

After completing Gu Wei's instructions, Cui Rui returned to him and was on standby.

Gu Wei was not in a hurry to take a shot, but instead started chatting with Cui Rui.

"Ah~ I didn't think that far ahead. I still have one year left before graduation. I just want to finish reading now.

If you have the opportunity, participate in the shooting of some small projects in school and accumulate some experience. "

Cui Rui smiled naively and replied.

It is very difficult for newcomers to get involved in the directing industry. No investor will invest in you just because you graduated from a prestigious university.

The talented director Ning Hao also came from Beijing Film Academy. When he just graduated, he could only get some commercials and music videos.

In 2001, Ning Hao won the Best Director Award at the Beijing University Student Film Festival for his student film "Thursday, Wednesday".

It is somewhat famous in the industry.

But it still didn’t work. I wanted to make a movie but couldn’t find investors.

Until 2003, he earned some money by shooting commercials, and personally financed the movie "Incense" that he had always wanted to make.

So in the director's circle, as long as you haven't proven yourself, it doesn't matter how glamorous your other resume is.

"After this period of work contact, I also have an understanding of your abilities.

How about joining our company after graduation?

Although you can't just start directing a film on your own, the company can let you give it a try if you accumulate some experience with two groups. "

Gu Wei drew a big cake to attract people.

Cui Rui looked a little surprised after hearing Gu Wei's words, and his eyes lit up behind his black-rimmed glasses.

"Thank you, director, for giving me the opportunity. I will return to China and join you as soon as I graduate."

"Okay, work hard on the crew. Many of them will be your future colleagues. You can accumulate some network resources by getting in touch with them more.

There will definitely be an opportunity to work together when you come over in the future. "

Gu Wei patted his back gently and encouraged him.

He always felt that the name Cui Rui was very familiar. It seemed that Gu Wei had seen the name of the director of a movie made by Chen Sicheng, but he didn't remember it accurately and was not sure whether it was the name.

In fact, the movie was promoted from the beginning to the end by screenwriter and producer Chen Sicheng, and many of the behind-the-scenes footage was Director Chen's right to exercise directorship behind the monitor.

Everyone regards the movie as a work by Chen Sicheng, and no one cares who the real director is.

Gu Wei also saw on the Internet that the name of the movie director was not Chen Sicheng, so he took a special look.

However, regardless of whether Cui Rui was the up-and-coming director who later made a hit movie, Gu Wei saw his ability, so there was no problem in recruiting him.

"Boss, your phone number~"

Just when Gu Wei was about to call the staff to prepare for the next scene, assistant Chao Yue timidly came up with his mobile phone.

Gu Wei frowned and took it.

I feel a little uncomfortable being interrupted from work.

"It's Mr. Yang~"

Xiao Chaoyue, who handed over the phone, made up his mind.

Mr. Yang is Yang Liwen. She is the general manager of the brokerage company. All the brokers and assistants in the company call her that.

"Hello?"

"Sorry, Mr. Gu, for disturbing your work."

Yang Liwen's voice on the phone was a little excited.

"you say."

Gu Wei knew that he was filming outside and Yang Liwen would not disturb him unless there was something important.

"[Monster Hunt] today's box office reached 2.45 billion, surpassing [Fast 7] and truly becoming the number one box office in domestic film history!"

"Great, how many days are left until the movie is released?"

Gu Wei was also very happy when he heard the news. From the time "Titanic" was released in China to now, more than ten years later, domestic films have finally achieved the real first place in the domestic film market.

The shadow of Hollywood blockbusters is slowly dissipating, which is something that all domestic filmmakers should be happy about.

"There are still two weeks left. According to the predictions of some professionals, the final target of [Monster Hunt] may be around 2.6 billion."

Gu Wei thought for a while, and based on this final box office performance analysis, "Monster Hunt" can be regarded as an aboveboard win this time.

At most, the box office is just over "Fast 7". Money does not come from the wind. There is no difference in reputation between over 10 million and over 100 million.

[Anle] Even if you have your own theater, a box office of 100 million will still cost 10 million, not to mention it will almost exceed 200 million now.

The addition of Gu Wei himself really helped the sales of "Monster Hunt".

After chatting a few more words about the company with Yang Liwen, Gu Wei hung up the phone.

He was in a particularly good mood at the moment, so he thought about it and said something to the assistant director next to him.

The assistant director nodded and took out the loudspeaker.

"Everyone, I just received news from China that [Monster Hunt] has surpassed [Fast 7] at the box office and has officially become the number one film in domestic history!"

The staff in the crew suddenly burst into joy, and everyone happily talked to each other.

Although this film is not produced by Gu Wei Company, as a filmmaker, everyone is simply happy for the victory of domestic films.

The local staff in New York were confused and didn't know what was going on.

After making everyone happy for a while, the filming continued. It can be clearly felt that the domestic staff are more active and their work efficiency is higher than before.

In the evening, Gu Wei specially arranged a big meal for everyone at the hotel as a celebration.

Although there was no wine at dinner, everyone was very happy to eat.

After returning to the room after dinner, Gu Wei was still cleaning himself up in the room when the doorbell rang.

No need to guess who is coming.

Go to the door and open it.

Sure enough, Nazha was standing at the door wearing a pair of light yellow pajamas.

She is obviously a beautiful woman, but standing there looking around like a little mouse who came out to steal something.

After letting her into the house, Gu Wei said helplessly:

"Why do you feel so sneaky every time you come over?"

After entering the door, Nazha immediately relaxed a lot. She took a few steps and walked generously to the sofa. She picked up the strawberry on the coffee table in front of her and took a bite.

"I don't want to either, I'm afraid that others will see it."

"What's scary is that I am the biggest in both the crew and the company.

Besides, there are only a few directors and a few starring actors on this floor. Everyone is smart and no one talks much. "

Gu Wei said nonchalantly.

The more senior people in the circle are, the more ordinary they regard some private matters, and no one will say anything because of the tacit understanding.

Gu Wei also sat down, and Nazha put her hands around his neck.

"I know you don't care, but I care about your reputation. After all, you are the boss and the director. It's better not to let others know about this kind of thing."

Then he took a strawberry and fed it to Gu Wei.

"I won't have any roles in the next two days. I want to go somewhere else in New York~"

Gu Wei ate the strawberries and thought for a while.

"No problem, I'll ask Yang Dan to find you a guide who can speak Chinese, and you take your assistant Xiao Tao with you."

Then he felt a little uneasy.

"Take two more security guards to follow you."

"There's no need for such a big battle, I'm just going out for a walk, and there are so many people following me~"

Naza felt it was a bit exaggerated.

“This is a foreign country after all, and the security here is incomparable to that at home.

Even if there is only one chance in ten thousand, I don’t want anything to happen to you. "

"Well~ I listen to you!"

Nazha was extremely moved after hearing Gu Wei's words, and looked at him with a pair of big watery eyes, full of affection.

Gu Wei didn't think anything of it, he thought his arrangement was normal.

Big stars and rich people are surrounded by staff and bodyguards.

"correct!"

Gu Wei thought of something, stood up and took out a black card from his bag on the table nearby.

"When you go out to buy things, you still need to exchange U.S. dollars. This card is for you."

Naza took it and looked up and down curiously.

"Is this the legendary black card?"

When she saw the color of the card, she immediately thought of the legendary black card with unlimited privileges.

“It’s not a legend, but it’s definitely a black card.

Is there a limit? The bank said there is no upper limit, but just listen to this.

Just go out and spend money, I'll pay for it! "

Gu Wei said lightly.

"Very good!"

Nazha happily kissed Gu Wei on the cheek.

She wasn't polite to Gu Wei, anyway, everything was given by Gu Wei, and she was happier with Gu Wei's attitude than this card.

After being happy for a while, Nazha put the black card she just got on the coffee table.

He turned around and sat on Gu Wei's lap, put his hands around his neck, leaned his head forward, and whispered in Gu Wei's ear:

"I don't have any shooting duties tomorrow, so now you don't have to worry about me not being able to get out of bed and delaying my work~"

Gu Wei put his hands around her soft waist without any politeness.

Looking at Nazha's little face flushed, her eyes were full of desire.

"I'm scared of you!"

Sighing, he directly picked up Naza and walked towards the bedroom.
