Huayu is free to do as you like

The seven days of National Day passed by in a flash, and Gu Wei was not idle at all.

In the company, the movie "Love Saint" and the TV series "The Legend of Chu Qiao" have been approved, and the next step is the preparation work of the crew.

Fortunately, the filming of "Detective Chinatown 2" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City" have been completed, and a large number of staff have been idle, which can just meet the needs of these two crews.

In addition to assembling the crew, determining the actors is also a very important task.

There are not many actors in Gu Wei Company. After all, "Love Saint" is a comedy. The male lead was given to Xiao Pan, and the rest had to be found among the comedians in the industry.

Gu Wei gave some opinions, and the rest depends on director Wen Muye. He is the boss, not the nanny of his subordinates, so he must not be able to cover everything in detail.

As for "The Legend of Chu Qiao", Gu Wei specially sent the script to "Jiaxing Media" and then called Zeng Jia to discuss the matter.

In addition to the male and female leads Zhao Liying, Li Xian, and the female lead Meng Ziyi, this drama also needs a male lead who also plays a heavy role, and a bunch of young male and female supporting actors.

These roles are the same for everyone, and the requirements for acting skills are not so strict, as long as the image is passable.

Therefore, actors from [Jiaxing Media] will be given priority as long as they can pass the director's audition.

Originally, he wanted to tell Yang Mi about this, but recently Da Mi Mi joined the group for filming, so Gu Wei had to communicate with Zeng Jia.

"Okay, no problem, I'll go down and make arrangements now, and then all the interested artists will go over to audition.

Thank you so much Mr. Gu.

Understand, we are a family, and there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future!

"

[Jiaxing Media] President’s Office.

Zeng Jia hung up the phone with Gu Wei with a smile on her face.

After thinking for a while, he called his deputy Zhao Ruoyao over.

"Have you read the script information for [The Legend of Chu Qiao] that [Wei Tianxia] sent over?"

“I’ve already seen it, a costume drama with an investment of hundreds of millions, starring this year’s popular female star Zhao Liying.

If the filming is good, it will probably be another "A Thousand Bones of Flowers"!

It's a pity that the male lead and the second female lead have already been decided. "

Zhao Ruoyao thought for a while and said.

"Normally, the dramas produced by Gu Wei's own company will definitely give priority to his actors.

But as we discussed before, there are not many actors under his company, and the remaining opportunities are enough for us.

[Chu Qiao Biography] The most important role left now is the second male lead.

I took a look and found that this TV series has a female protagonist, and the second male lead is actually not much less important than the male lead.

Which actor in our company do you think is more suitable? "

The role of "Yan Xun" in "The Legend of Chu Qiao" is definitely a very tasty piece of cake for these little transparent actors under the banner of "Jiaxing Media".

If you perform well, you might become an instant hit.

Zhao Ruoyao lowered his head and thought for a moment.

"Zhang Binbin, Zhang Yunlong and Gao Wei are all fine, but I think Zhang Binbin has greater development potential.

He also had a cameo role as "KO" in the previous drama [Wei Wei], and he had a romantic relationship with Gu Wei. This opportunity can be given to him to try. "

Zeng Jia nodded unconsciously.

"Okay, let's decide this first.

The second male lead was given to Zhang Binbin, and other roles were also given to artists from the company who had no roles to play.

Go ahead and send the script to everyone so that you have an idea of ​​what role you want to play. "

"clear!"

Regardless of Zeng Jia's arrangements, after Gu Wei assigned the tasks to the corresponding people, he became the hands-off shopkeeper himself.

The rest he only needs to wait for his people to come up with the final work. At most, he will solve any difficulties in the process.

Because he went to New York to film, Gu Wei was unable to attend the Harper's Bazaar Charity Night in September this year.

Su Mang even called him specifically to express his regrets, but after he returned to China, invitations for various magazine cover shoots came one after another.

In fact, for Gu Wei, first of all, he can't make money by shooting for magazines now, and secondly, he can't increase his reputation. Instead, these magazines have to use Gu Wei's reputation to expand sales.

But the so-called fashion industry recognizes these magazines.

As a young male star who is considered by the outside world to have a strong sense of fashion, Gu Wei has to appear on magazine covers from time to time in order to obtain some international luxury endorsements in the future.

Fortunately, he doesn't need to look for any fashion magazines now. With his current status and popularity, as long as he has some free time, various high-end magazines will naturally come to him and invite him to take photos.

Gu Wei spent several days shooting the single covers for next month for GQ, Esquire, and Harper's Bazaar Men.

After shooting the last [Bazaar Men], I returned to the company and was about to sit down and take a rest.

Wen Mu also walked into Gu Wei's office with a smile on his face.

"Director Wen, what's the matter?"

Gu Wei sat down and took a sip of water, then motioned for Wen Mu to sit down too.

"That's it, Mr. Gu.

In the past two days, I have been busy setting up the shooting team and thinking about casting for the movie.

The other roles are easy to talk about, and I already have a rough target in mind.

But there is one character I want to settle on first. "

After Wen Mu also sat down, he held a white script and said to Gu Wei.

"Which character?

Didn't I tell you before? You can make the decision on casting. Just invite whoever you want. I will definitely support you. "

Gu Wei didn't think too much. Since he decided to let Wen Mu shoot the movie, he would naturally give him the power.

"No, Mr. Gu, this candidate is a bit special and needs your approval~"

Wen Mu also said with a smile.

"I agree? Are you an actor in the company?"

Gu Wei looked at Wen Muye's face and suddenly reacted.

"You want me to act?"

"Yes, Mr. Gu, you are wise, I just want you to play a role."

"No, no!"

Gu Wei waved his hands after hearing this.

"There is no role suitable for me in this film. It is a comedy and it does not suit my style.

Besides, I don’t have time! "

"Mr. Gu, if you look at the role of 'Wang Kun', the classmate of the male protagonist in the opening film, it's just one scene. He just ran into it and died. It's very suitable for you!"

Wen Mu also walked up to Gu Wei, opened the script in his hand and was about to show it to him.

Gu Wei was confused by what Wen Muye said, but he also understood what Wen Muye meant.

In the original version, the character was guest-starred by "Deng Chao". He was the middle-ranked buddy in the male protagonist's college dormitory. He was a good person in many ways, but he died of a heart attack while running as soon as he appeared.

"You want me to make a cameo, right?"

"That's right, with Mr. Gu as your guest star, there will be more gimmicks when promoting this movie, and the box office will be better after it is released."

Wen Mu also asked the boss Gu Wei to make a cameo purely for the sake of box office.

After the failure of the previous movie "City in Love" at the box office, Wen Mu has also awakened.

No matter what type of movie you make, you must think about how to maximize the box office. This is what the director needs to consider.

"Is there a big difference between my classmates and Xiao Panyan?"

Gu Wei was a little worried.

"No, no, I just need to dye my hair gray and make the makeup on my face look older."

Wen Mu also said.

"But I don't have time. I will be filming in a few days, and it will be difficult to find time by then."

Gu Wei is embarrassed.

“This scene only takes one day, and it can be shot anytime, it’s completely up to you, the boss.

As long as you agree, just give me a photo as a posthumous photo! "

Wen Mu can talk about anything.

"You guy!"

Gu Wei was so angry that he reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Boss, what do you think?"

"My manager Yang Dan wants the photo. If you have nothing else to do, leave as soon as possible. I think you're angry!"
