Chapter 37 Celebration Banquet

No matter what kind of banquet, the first part of the opening is always a speech by the leader.

As for China Film, in addition to Director Han who is responsible for film docking work, Han Sanping, known in the circle as the Third Master, was also present.

This is not surprising. It shows that China Film Group attaches great importance to the film "Xiu Chun Knife" and to Lu Yang, a potential rising star director.

Chairman Han is well-known in the industry for his love of discovering and helping new directors. As long as you have the ability, he will not be stingy with resources to help you.

The most famous among them is director Ning Hao.

As we all know, Ning Hao's famous movie "Crazy Stone" was filmed with 3 million yuan invested by Andy Lau, but what people don't know is that Han Sanping is also the producer of the movie "Crazy Stone".

After the success of "Crazy Stone", Han Sanping served as the producer, and China Film successively invested in Ning Hao's "Crazy Racing", "No Man's Land" and other films.

Among them, the movie "No Man's Land" was successfully shot in early 2009. It was scheduled to be released six times, but was rejected six times and failed to pass the review.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the style of the movie itself. There are almost no good people throughout the movie, and the tone of the movie is too dark.

Director Han worked hard for it several times. In December 2013, after nearly five years, the movie was finally released and achieved good box office and good reputation.

Obviously, Director Han is very optimistic about Lu Yang now.

Although China Film Group is a big company, it has also lost a lot of money investing in movies over the years.

The former director Han was superstitious about great directors and invested in the great director Wu Yusen [Red Cliff].

It’s the classic ‘Mengmeng, stand up! ’

The plot is simply too weak to complain about. Can Sun Shangxiang sneak into Cao's camp and steal information? Are you looking down on our boss Cao, or do you think that boss Cao only loves wives and has no interest in Sun Shangxiang, who is not yet married?

[Red Cliff Part 1 and Part 2] The two films have a total investment of 610 million and a total domestic box office of 580 million. It’s my fault that I went to my grandma’s house.

Although the box office of "Xiuchundao" is only 220 million, its investment is small. It only has an investment of 30 million. This is a rate of return.

Moreover, the distribution is also done by China Film Group Corporation, which earns another amount of money from distribution fees.

On the stage, Director Han first thanked the crew members for their contribution to the film and thanked everyone for making a popular and excellent film. Then he thanked the media for their support of the film. You are all responsible for such a good box office.

Then he praised Lu Yang fiercely, saying bluntly that he is the future of Chinese movies, and the importance he attached to him was palpable.

Lu Yang in the audience was a little embarrassed to be praised, but he still had an excited smile on his face and clapped his hands from time to time.

Previously, the organizers also wanted Gu Wei to speak on stage - in the name of another investor. Rejected by Gu Wei.

Although it was a celebration party for the movie "Embroidered Spring Knife", Gu Wei knew that the host of the celebration party was China Film Group and the protagonist was director Lu Yang. No one can steal his spotlight.

Although Gu Wei is one of the investors, others just think that he is lucky and happens to be Lu Yang's friend. Mainly because of his identity as an actor.

Gu Wei didn't want to be in the limelight. After all, he invested the money and was not in control of the project. Why not just make a fortune in silence.

After the leader on the stage finished speaking, the staff brought up a sculpture of the number 226800000 made of ice, and then invited Lu Yang, Gu Wei, and Liu Yifei to come on stage.

Three people plus Dong Han, each with a small hammer, smashed the ice sculpture in the presence of friends from the media.

Han Dong and Lu Yang stood in the middle, while Gu Wei and Liu Yifei stood on both sides. They knocked twice and let the media take photos.

Then came the sharing session, and the host invited all the actors from the crew to come on stage. Everyone began to share some interesting stories from the crew and complained about the hard work of filming. We also answer questions raised by some media from time to time.

A reporter asked Wang Qianyuan, "What impressed you most on the set?"

He smiled bitterly, "The thing that impressed me the most was horseback riding. I rode for a day during filming, and two layers of skin were worn off my buttocks. I had to sleep on my stomach at night."

"Who do you think rides best?"

"Dongxue is the best rider, and he has the demeanor of a man on horseback, but he doesn't drink well. When we went out to eat, he was the first to get down." After saying this, the actors in the crew were all happy.

"Director Sang, we all know that the martial arts scenes in the movie "Xiu Chun Dao" are extremely exciting. Who do you think has the best performance among all the actors in the crew?"

Director Sang thought for a moment and said, "Gu Wei, although he had no foundation like everyone else at the beginning, he has improved the fastest."

"I know this. Gu Wei goes out every day before dawn to practice moves and routines. When I get up and go out, I always run into him coming back from sword practice," Wang Qianyuan interrupted.

"Gu Wei, how do you feel about working with Liu Yifei?" The reporter asked Gu Wei again.

"Sister Yifei is very beautiful and takes good care of me on the set. Although she is a big star, she has an approachable personality.

It's just that it's too late for 'she' to like 'me', and 'I' have to block a shot for 'her' to be moved.

If there is a chance to cooperate with Sister Yifei again, I hope that 'she' will take the initiative next time and not let 'me' get hurt again. "Gu Wei said with a smile.

"Yifei, what do you think of what Gu Wei said?"

"Well, I think what he said is right, but you have to find a director and screenwriter for this."

Liu Yifei said with a smile.

At the end of the interactive session, all cast members and crew members came on stage and took a group photo together.

Then it's time to sit down and start eating, and the banquet begins.

Everyone drank together, you toasted me a toast, I toasted you a toast.

The first is to celebrate the movie's success and everyone is happy.

The performance of "Xiu Chun Dao" is so good, everyone here will benefit from it, whether they are actors or crew members, this is an important resume for them.

The other is to get to know more people and improve interpersonal relationships. Entertainment is a circle, and only if you can improve your interpersonal relationships can you stay in this circle for a longer time.

At the dining table, Liu Yifei touched Gu Wei with her elbow

"You've made a lot of money from our movie."

"No way, I'm just a small investor, and the big one is China Film. China Film eats meat, so I just drink the broth." Gu Wei said, "Well, what I said is not wrong, the top layer of soup is full of meat, and the bottom layer is all meat." broth! ’

Lu Yang was the busiest person at the entire banquet. People from all walks of life toasted to him one after another. The actors also toasted one by one. They thanked the director for the opportunity and hoped to think of him again next time.

They were all at the same table. Gu Wei also came to Lu Yang's side with a drink and said, "Senior brother, let me toast you."

"Our brothers and sisters are still using this trick. We are heretics, aren't we?" Lu Yang said

"Brother, do you have any new movie plans recently?" Gu Wei asked, he had some ideas in mind.

Lu Yang thought for a while and said, "The filming of [Embroidered Spring Knife] has exhausted all my efforts over the years, and I don't have any new ideas for the time being. However, [Embroidered Spring Knife] has done so well at the box office, I should make a second part. You will definitely do it by then." It’s the protagonist.”

Lu Yang thought Gu Wei was here to get a role.

"Senior brother, do you still remember what I told you before?" Gu Wei asked

"Before~" Lu Yang thought for a moment, "Ah, I remembered that you said you wanted to make a movie. What you said was true. I always thought you were joking."

"I did have this idea before, and now the idea is getting better and better. I will write out the script in a few days. Senior brother, please help me take a look. If I really want to shoot, you must help junior brother." Gu Wei said.

"No problem, you can go ahead and do it. I have promised you this a long time ago. Anyway, I originally planned to take a break after [Embroidered Spring Knife], and I have nothing to do." Lu Yang said, patting his chest.

Gu Wei achieved his goal and sat back with great satisfaction.

"Hey, what did you say to the director? Why are you so happy when you come back?"

Liu Yifei asked Gu Wei in a low voice.

"Of course I was talking to the director about making a movie." Gu Wei said

"The director is going to make a new movie again?" Liu Yifei asked in surprise

Although she didn't have many roles in "Xiu Chun Dao", she is a heroine, and "Xiu Chun Dao" had a good box office and word-of-mouth success, which was very helpful to her career.

Looking back, this is basically the most critically acclaimed movie she has made in recent years.

Director Lu Yang is very capable, and she would be very happy if she could collaborate on a new film.

"I want to know, but I won't tell you." Gu Wei teased her

Knowing that Gu Wei did it on purpose, Liu Yifei looked at him angrily.

"It's okay to tell you, unless you agree to a condition."

"What conditions?" Liu Yifei was a little confused. He probably wouldn't have made any indescribable conditions.

"You owe me a meal." Gu Wei said

"Pfft," Liu Yifei laughed, "I thought you were going to make some conditions, but no, Xiao Guzi, I remember you said on the set that you owed me ten meals, but you didn't honor even one."

Now, besides Yang Zi, Liu Yifei is also shouting the nickname "Xiao Guzi". Who knows that Gu Wei is younger than her and always loves to tease her.

"Well, what I owe you is what I owe you, and I will definitely pay you back. This has nothing to do with what you owe me." Gu Wei said seriously.

"Okay, okay, just one meal." Liu Yifei agreed readily.

"Actually, I told the director that I had an idea that I wanted to make into a movie, but I had never directed a movie, so I didn't feel confident. I wanted the director to help me."

"You want to make a movie?" Liu Yifei looked surprised.

"Yes."

"You want to direct and film?"

"is there a problem?"

"I remember that you are only a sophomore in the acting academy, and you are still majoring in acting. Our movie is your first one, right?" Gu Wei's idea really shocked her.

"Yeah, so what, you have ambitions but you are young." Gu Wei was full of confidence.

"Aren't you ambitious and young? I think you're a little too arrogant." Liu Yifei's jingle came out.

"Sister Yifei, pay attention to your character. You are a goddess, how can you speak in jingles."

"Who can invest in your movie?" Liu Yifei asked the most important question

"Ask if China Film Investment will invest. If not, I'll invest the money myself." Gu Wei said nonchalantly.

"Oh, I understand." Liu Yifei said as if she suddenly understood.

"When Mr. Gu wants to act, he spends money to be the leading actor; when he wants to film, he spends money to become a director.

Mr. Gu, forgive me, the little girl was rude before. Liu Yifei said with a teasing look.

Regardless of whether Gu Wei can do a good job or not, she has to respect Gu Wei's money.
