Huayu is free to do as you like

After dinner in the morning, I spent some time with Tang Yan, then went downstairs and got into the nanny car and went straight to the airport.

In the car, Gu Wei had been looking at the scenery outside the window. He felt the assistant's two eyes staring directly at him, and asked a little strangely:

"Why do you always look at me?"

"Ah~ Boss, it's okay. Um, you look so handsome."

Xiao Chaoyue reacted, lowered his head, and stuttered out an excuse.

Gu Wei was a little confused, but he didn't pay much attention.

Yang Chaoyue secretly raised his head and looked at his handsome boss.

‘No one can compare to me in terms of looks, and he is a very nice person, but he is a scumbag! ’

she thought to herself.

This was the second time she had come to this house in Shanghai with her boss. This time she knew who the woman was who spent the night here, the big star Tang Yan, the heroine who collaborated with her boss in "Nirvana in Fire".

She went abroad for more than a month, and later when they went to buy a plane and a luxury house, she thought Nazha was the boss's real girlfriend. However, just a few days after returning to China, she saw a second woman, and she was also a first-line female star. .

Yang Chaoyue had not been working as a life assistant for Gu Wei for a long time, and he was not sure if these two women were the only ones around his boss.

But one thing she is sure of now is that her boss is indeed a scumbag and has not run away.

The nanny car was about to drive to the airport, and Gu Wei's phone rang.

Looking down, he saw a wry smile on his face. It was the call from Zhao Liying.

"Hello, Li Ying?"

"Boss Gu, don't you need to explain something to me?"

Zhao Liying on the other side of the phone sounded a little angry.

"Um~ It's my fault, but I didn't mean to miss the appointment. It's because the schedule for the next six months is fully booked.

I watched the drama produced by the company, and you were the only one who could play the leading role, so it ended up in this situation. "

Gu Wei first admitted his mistake, and then praised Zhao Liying.

"Originally, when I received the script from your company, I thought you were going to fulfill your previous promise, so I accepted it with great joy. Unexpectedly, I was told today that the leading actor was someone else.

Do you know how disappointed I am?

I feel cheated by my best friend! "

Zhao Liying said a little aggrievedly.

"You're right. I did something wrong in this matter. Words don't count. You can beat me or scold me, but I'll admit it."

"Pfft~ Why am I beating you and scolding you? It's inexplicable~"

Zhao Liying, who was a little angry at first, felt a lot less angry when she heard Gu Wei's sincere apology.

"Let's forget it this time, but this TV series doesn't count. You have to compensate me for the scenes between us that you promised me before."

Gu Wei thought for a while.

"No problem, the promise I made to you before still stands."

"That's pretty much it!"

When Gu Wei said this, Zhao Liying's mood completely improved.

The two chatted for a while, and Gu Wei hung up the phone after arriving at the airport.

In Hengdian, after hanging up the phone with Gu Wei, Zhao Liying had a lot of thoughts in her heart.

After the popularity of "Flower Thousand Bones" in the first half of the year, her reputation has reached a great level. However, there are pros and cons, and more and more people are hating her on the Internet.

Due to disagreements over taking roles, she broke up with her original agent, He Ru, and changed agents before the contract expired.

And the last straw that broke the camel's back was [Flower Thousand Bones].

Originally, the crew of "Flower Thousand Bones" sent an invitation to Zhao Liying for the first time and was rejected. However, the crew directly approached Zhao Liying with the attitude of giving it a try.

She read the script and liked it very much, but it was only then that she realized that her agent had rejected "Flower Thousand Bones" on her behalf without her knowledge.

So she made up her mind at that time to change her agent.

The explosion of [Flower Thousand Bones] is an opportunity.

But the original manager He Ru was not willing to leave in despair. After breaking up with Zhao Liying, he spread rumors about her on the Internet. He had a way of destroying you if he didn't get you.

It bothered her so much that her original popularity turned into black and red.

Gu Wei found her at this time, but Zhao Liying was actually very happy.

She has read the script of "The Legend of Chu Qiao". It is a real TV series with a female protagonist. The performance is very popular. The only flaw is that the male protagonist is not Gu Wei.

But after making this phone call, even this shortcoming was gone.

Just now she was reading reports about [Nirvana in Fire] on her mobile phone. She knew how popular TV dramas starring Gu Wei would become.

Now that Gu Wei's promise is guaranteed, he will definitely have a popular TV series in the future.

In the days after Gu Wei returned to the capital, [Nirvana in Fire] became more and more popular as more and more episodes were aired.

Gu Wei's previous TV series, whether it was "A Little Smile Is Alluring" in the first half of this year or the two dramas last year, were all broadcast in the TV station's weekly theater and were only broadcast 2 to 3 days a week.

And "Nirvana in Fire" is just like ordinary TV series, there are two episodes a day, every day.

This makes the audience of the drama extremely addictive.

In particular, the plot of "Nirvana in Fire" is not protracted at all, and the pace of the plot is very tight. It is basically a small case in 4 episodes.

Each case may seem sudden, but in fact it is the result of years of investigation by "Mei Changsu".

Each case advances the plot well, with tight suspense and many unexpected twists and turns.

As the plot progresses, the most impressive thing is a small box of "Mei Changsu", which is lined with the signs of the six departments of the imperial court.

After knocking down a department, the corresponding sign was placed in the charcoal brazier and burned. This detail made the audience particularly enjoyable to watch.

And the details of the TV series are very rigorous.

Everywhere in the play shows full sincerity. The jade crown on the head of "Mei Changsu" is made of real jade.

The books in Su's house all look like they have been read through, and most of them have annotations.

The tea poured next to "Mei Changsu" will emit steam, and there will be sediment at the bottom of the traditional Chinese medicine bowl. You need to shake the bowl gently before drinking.

After watching it, many viewers praised it as a work of conscience.

Some fans of the drama have finished watching it on TV and want to watch it again on the online video platform, which is quite a bit like never getting tired of it.

However, these guards have no time to worry about it for the time being. He has done everything he can. The quality of [Nirvana in Fire] is there, and it is normal for a big fire to happen.

After he returned to the capital, he was busy doing something very important to the company at this stage every day, which was to find suitable director talents.

"Director Zhao, we understand your situation and we will inform the company that we will call you later."

In the company's small conference room, Zhao Mingcheng said to a middle-aged man in front of him.

The other party is an experienced advertising director, and now he wants to change his career to a film and television drama director, so he came to Gu Wei's company for an interview.

"Are there any more today?"

Gu Wei asked.

He has interviewed many people in the past two days, some of whom graduated from directing majors, are young, and have no experience in shooting feature-length film and television dramas.

There are also some who have previously worked in other positions on the film crew and want to try their hand at directing.

There may be really capable people here.

But there weren't any familiar faces, and Gu Wei didn't dare give them practice on his company's projects.

"There is still one."

Zhao Mingcheng, who was interviewing with him next to him, said.

"Let me take a look at the information!"

Gu Wei took the last resume, but he didn't expect that a quick glance would give him a surprise.

Because the interview director’s name is Wen Muye.

"Is anyone here?"

Gu Wei asked quickly.

Zhao Mingcheng communicated with the staff next to him.

"We're already here, waiting outside."

"Let him in quickly."

Gu Wei couldn't wait and started panning for gold. Unexpectedly, he actually found gold today.

Wen Mu is also the director of the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" that was conferred a few years later.

Although when the movie was released, everyone felt that the producers Ning Hao and Xu Zheng were the soul of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", and the director Wen Mu was just a young man who got lucky.

But after he successively directed "My Motherland and Me" and "The Miracle Kid" and became very successful, no one doubted his directorial ability anymore.

Soon Wen Mu also knocked on the door and came in.

He is very young, probably around 30 years old. There are very few such young faces in the director industry.

Wearing black casual clothes, his hair is very short, and he wears big black-rimmed glasses on his face. He looks bookish.

After entering the door, he first said hello to several people in the room, and then sat down, a little reserved.

"Hello, Literary Director, I have long admired your name~"

Gu Weishang said politely first.

Wen Mu also smiled.

"Mr. Gu, after all, we are still alumni.

In 2011, I was admitted to the directing department of Beijing Film Academy to study for a master's degree. I also met you in some open classes of the directing department, but at that time I was just one of many ordinary students sitting in the back row, so you must have no impression of me. "

Gu Wei didn't expect to meet this young director who later became famous in school.

"Then I should call you Senior Brother Wen."

"Don't dare, don't dare. Mr. Gu, you were a famous figure when you were in school. Everyone in the directing department or the acting department knew you in those years. You and I are too far apart."

Wen Mu was also a smart man, and he got closer to Gu Wei after just a few words.

"How come Senior Brother Wen wants to come to a small company like mine?"

Gu Wei asked.

"[Wei Tianxia] is not a small company now. Regardless of the movies or TV series it shoots, it is very famous in the industry."

"I looked at your resume. The movie [City in Love] that you co-directed was just released last month, right?

He can be regarded as a professional director with experience in directing films with large investment. "

Speaking of this matter, Wen Mu also smiled bitterly.

“I made several short films when I was in school and won some awards.

Last year, I had the opportunity to direct that love movie thanks to my mentor's relationship.

[City in Love] is a platter movie, and I am one of the five directors.

To be honest, I feel like I did a pretty good job, but unfortunately the movie failed miserably at the box office after its release.

I was originally a new director, but now the first film I directed was a flop, and basically no one dared to look for me in the future. "

Wen Mu also said it very honestly, and his current situation is indeed not very good.

Even for a well-known director, after screwing up a movie, it will be difficult for him to make another movie and attract investment.

Not to mention a new director like him who is just starting out.

Investors couldn't trust him in the first place, and now that their only movie has failed, they won't use him anymore.

After saying these words, Wen Mu was also very worried.

He really wants to make movies. If his years of study are not put to use, it will be very painful.

Although he is very confident in his abilities, his current resume is indeed not trustworthy.

It is true that he made several award-winning short films when he was in school, but the experience of his first film flopping at the box office after graduation is also true.

Gu Wei didn't pay much attention to Wen Muye's words.

He was not responsible for the box office failure of "City in Love". On the contrary, Gu Wei had seen the small unit he shot, and it was considered relatively good.

We chatted with the other party about some shooting matters and asked some questions, and Wen Mu also answered them fluently.

Finally, Gu Wei stood up with a smile and extended his hand to Wen Mu.

"Director, if you have no objections, you can sign the contract soon and become a contracted director under [Wei Tianxia]."

Wen Mu didn't expect that something that he had no hope for would happen.

He was slightly excited when he stood up and shook hands with Gu Wei.

"Thank you, Mr. Gu. I will definitely live up to your trust and do my best to make the movies arranged by the company."

"It just so happens that the company is currently preparing a new movie. The director has not been decided yet. If you have no problem, I can hand over the movie to you."

Gu Wei said.

"No problem, no problem, I can definitely take the photo!"

Wen Mu didn't expect that this was a double happiness. He would be able to make another movie so easily?

Gu Wei patted Wen Muye on the shoulder and asked the staff on the side to arrange for him to sign the contract.

After a while, in Gu Wei's office.

He was sitting opposite Wen Mu on the sofa next to him.

Skillfully brewing tea on the tea table in front of him, he handed it to Wen Muye.

Director Li took it with both hands and took a slow sip.

"Look, this is the script of the movie I just mentioned. It is a romantic comedy adapted from an American movie called [The Lady in Red]."

Taking the script from Gu Wei, there were two big words written on the cover - [Love Saint]!

Wen Mu also opened the script and read it slowly.

Gu Wei remained silent, picked up the Biluochun he had brewed and drank it slowly.

This was a gift from Mr. Sun Zhonghuai of Tengxun Video. When Gu Wei drank it, he felt better than the previous Longjing tea. The tea soup was green and clear, full of aroma, and had a long-lasting sweet aftertaste.

After a while, Wen Mu also closed the script, raised his head and said to Gu Wei confidently:

"Mr. Gu, this script has been written very carefully. The story is relatively simple, so there won't be any big problems during filming."

"Okay, the male lead of this movie has been chosen by our company's actor Xiao Pan. You can choose the others as you see fit."

Gu Wei took a sip from the teacup and spoke slowly.

"By the way, for the role of Yoyo in the movie, you can find a Korean artist named Clara. I think she is quite suitable."

Gu Wei suddenly added when he remembered something.

When he watched the movie "Lovers" before, what impressed him the most was the scene where Clara appeared. If the actors were changed, he couldn't think of any female star in the domestic entertainment industry who could perform that kind of role.

"Clara"

Wen Mu also muttered her name, obviously not knowing who she was.

"I have seen the other party's work before and I think the image is very suitable. You don't have to worry too much. Except for the male protagonist Xiao Shan, you can make your own decisions about the others.

After this movie is finished, I will have another big realistic production, which will be one of the company's most important projects next year.

Do your best and I'll save you the director's position in that movie. "

Gu Wei added another sentence, and also painted a bigger picture for Wen Mu.

Since he opened the company, he has become more and more accustomed to giving people a pie. Gu Wei wonders if all bosses have this problem.

"Understood, Mr. Gu, I will definitely work hard to make this movie well."

Wen Mu also listened to Gu Wei's words and replied with excitement.

He felt that joining Gu Wei's company was the most correct decision he had ever made.

He was a young director who had just failed. He started filming a movie right after he joined the job. His boss had even considered the follow-up movies. He was simply a fool!

Gu Wei looked at Wen Muye with an excited expression across from him and nodded with a smile.

The painting of the cake was not in vain, it seems that I will need to paint more in the future.
