Huayu is free to do as you like

Although he was reluctant to leave, he could not delay his work. Early the next morning, at the urging of his agent, Ni Ni said goodbye to Gu Wei and flew to Hengdian.

This time she had the opportunity to stay with Gu Wei for a few days. In her opinion, it was a very pleasant enjoyment both physically and mentally.

The two had a romantic connection half a year ago, and it felt great to experience it again half a year later. It was worthy of the aftertaste and longing that happened occasionally in the dead of night during the past six months.

After getting in the car, Ni Ni took out his mobile phone and looked at some photos taken at home with Gu Wei in the past few days.

Some are normal, some are funny, and some were taken together with two people holding "briquettes".

Zooming in on Gu Wei's portrait in the photo, Ni Ni stared at it for a while, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.

"No matter what angle you look at, you look so handsome even in home photos without makeup. How do you get that face?"

Then he thought of Gu Wei's strong and muscular figure under his loose clothes, and his face turned slightly red.

"Xiao Ni, do you have a good relationship with Mr. Gu from [Wei Mingxia]?"

In the car, a middle-aged woman sitting opposite Ni Ni opened her mouth and asked tentatively.

She is dressed in professional attire and looks very capable in her 30s.

Ni Ni's current management contract is with "Shanghai Tongmeng Film and Television Company". The boss Shen Yan is a well-known TV drama director. He has directed "Chinese Divorce", "Hot Mom", "Chinese Relationship" and other well-known TV series. TV drama.

Ni Ni's later films "Tian Sheng Long Song" and "Golden Years" were also directed by Shen.

[Tongmeng Film and Television] is a small-scale mom-and-pop shop. Director Shen is the general manager, and his lover Wang Oulei is both the chairman and the agent of Ni Ni, the first sister of the company.

After hearing what the agent said, Ni Ni rolled his eyes and said with a smile.

"We met when we attended Huang Xiaoming's wedding. I was the bridesmaid and he was the best man.

They are just ordinary friends. "

Ni Ni doesn't want others to know about her relationship with Gu Wei. After all, the two are not real boyfriend and girlfriend. Some relationships are easy to talk about and not nice to hear, but friends' words are just right.

"Sister Wang, why do you ask?"

"We have never cooperated with Huayi before, and their company has no shortage of actresses. The movies they usually produce usually come from actresses from their own company or from Beijing.

So it seems a bit unexpected to ask you to film a movie this time.

I inquired privately and found out that the movie "Expedition 3" was co-produced by Huayi and Gu Wei. He is also the male lead. It is said that it was Gu Wei who recommended you to play the female lead.

Didn't he tell you this? "

The agent explained and asked again.

"Oh? That's not true. I didn't expect it to be Gu Wei's help. Maybe he thought I was more suitable for the role in the movie. It seems that I have to thank him specially when I have time."

Ni Ni pretended to be surprised, and her acting skills were definitely at the level of a movie queen.

The agent did not doubt that he was there, nodded, and spoke with some seriousness.

"If possible, try to have a good relationship with Gu Wei.

He is no longer just a top-notch male star on the surface. The company under his name, "Wei Ming Xia", is no less than an established company in the industry in the production of film and television dramas.

It has developed extremely fast in the past two years and is now considered one of the top leaders in the film and television industry.

Having a good relationship with him will be very beneficial to your future development."

Ni Ni looked at the agent with an open-minded look.

Within two days, Wen Mu also shot the movie "Love Saint", which was officially finished and he returned to Beijing for post-production.

Gu Wei contacted Zhao Mingcheng again and found out that the filming of "The Legend of Chu Qiao" will be over in about a month.

This version of "The Legend of Chu Qiao" produced by "Wei Tian Xia" has a larger investment than the original version, and the number of episodes has reached 72, which is 5 more than the 67 episodes of the original version.

The main change is still in the script. Gu Wei does not plan to film the second part of "The Legend of Chu Qiao", so he asked the screenwriter to have a beginning and end when adapting the script, so that the audience can see a normal ending.

The boss made such a request, so the screenwriters would naturally not be careless. According to the context of the original work, "Chu Qiao" rescued "Yu Wenyue" who sank into the ice lake. After some twists and turns, the two finally came together and created a new world together. kingdom.

The two worked together to create a prosperous age. "Chu Qiao" gave birth to a daughter for "Yu Wenyue", and the family lived happily together from then on.

Although this version of "The Legend of Chu Qiao" has more episodes, the storyline is far more compact than the original version.

The original 67-episode episode ended hurriedly when Yu Wenyue fell into an icy lake. The producer wanted to drag the audience into making a sequel.

Gu Wei's version combines two dramas into one, so it seems like there are a lot of episodes and the plot doesn't drag out at all.

Of course, this also resulted in the shooting time of "The Legend of Chu Qiao" being longer. It started filming earlier than "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" but ended later.

"Is the later filming of the movie going well?"

In the office, Gu Wei poured Wen Mu a cup of tea and asked with a smile.

"With Mr. Gu supporting me, if I don't make a good movie, wouldn't it make me look incompetent!"

Wen Mu also picked up the teacup with one hand, blew on it, and took a slow sip.

"What are your thoughts on the film's later release?"

Gu Wei smiled and then asked.

Wen Mu also put down his tea cup and thought about it.

"[Love Saint] is an urban comedy, and the post-production time will not be too long. I estimate that the film will be ready in 2 to 3 months.

It will probably be the beginning of the summer vacation in July.”

"The company has a heavyweight movie to be released in the summer, so we should consider the release of [Love Saint] in the second half of the year!"

Gu Wei interrupted him.

Wen Mu also looked at Gu Wei and patted his thigh.

"I forgot, Mr. Gu, the second part of [Detective Chinatown] that you filmed last year should be released in the summer, right?"

Gu Wei nodded.

"In this case, the only popular schedules in the second half of the year will be the National Day and Lunar New Year schedules."

Wen Mu also pondered for a moment and gritted his teeth.

"Mr. Gu, can you arrange for [Love Saint] to be released during the Lunar New Year?"

Gu Wei looked at him with a smile.

"Have you thought about it?

Although due to the rise of the Spring Festival period, the Lunar New Year period is no longer the most popular period of the year, there will still be a large number of domestic movies selected to be released during that time period, and the competitive pressure will not be small. "

"Think about it!

When I was studying at Beijing Film Academy, I dreamed that one day, one of my own films would be released in the Lunar New Year festival and compete with other domestic films. Now I finally have the opportunity. How could I not give it a try! "

Wen Mu also looked determined.

Gu Wei nodded, picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip.

"I understand what you mean. Concentrate on the post-production of the movie first. The Lunar New Year schedule will start in early December. I will check the schedules of other movies then and make arrangements."

"Love Saint" is a small-budget comedy film produced solely by "Wei Ming Xia" company.

According to Wei Wei's memory, the box office of this movie is about 600 million, and after subtracting the cost, the movie has a profit of nearly 200 million.

According to the past practice of his company's film production, the distributor should find companies with better relationships such as Enlight and Wanda to do it.

But Gu Wei thought about trying it himself.

Domestic film and television companies are divided into production companies and distribution companies.

Movies produced by production companies may make profits and lose money, but distribution companies will never lose money. The difference between different movies is only a matter of making more or less.

There are currently two normal charging methods for issuing companies.

A kind of funded promotion means that the producer pays for it and the distribution company contributes, and they do as much work as they want.

The other is advance promotion. When the distribution company is particularly optimistic about the final box office of a movie, it will advance the promotion expenses itself. When the movie is released, the distributor will collect 8-15% of the box office attributed to the producer as distribution. Agency Fees.

But no matter which way it is, the money received by the promotion company already includes profits, and after the movie is released, the promotion expenses will be paid first.

Therefore, it is usually difficult for a Xuanfa company to lose money as long as there is always work to do.

In the past few years, the main promotion channels for movies have gradually shifted from offline to online, and the Internet has gradually become the first front for movie promotion.

Nowadays, when publishing, you don’t need to maintain a huge local promotion team like traditional publishing companies, so Gu Wei plans to let [Wei Tianxia] gradually get into contact with the publishing industry. He has also recruited some relevant talents in the industry before, and he plans to use [Emotion] Holy] to test the waters.

In the end, even if his results were unsatisfactory, the loss was within his tolerance.

Of course, he wouldn't just go it alone for the first time, that would be too reckless.

Gu Wei plans to rope in Wanda and the two companies will jointly issue the product.

At the very least, you can't make too many differences in the arrangement of your own movies.

In the afternoon, Gu Wei left the company early and drove to the Futai Hotel in Beijing.

The celebration banquet of [Xiu Chun Dao 2] was held here today.

It has been nearly two months since the movie was released, and the celebration party should have been held long ago. Unfortunately, the two male and female protagonists, Gu Wei and Yang Mi, were filming in other places and could not spare the time, so they had to postpone it until now.

When filming the first part of "Embroidered Spring Knife", Gu Wei was still a student, the studio had just been established, and there were two or three big cats and small cats. The main creators of the film at that time were all people from China Film.

Later, in the second film, Lu Yang established [Free Cool Whale Pictures]. As the director, he had a team of people, plus people from China Film and Television, to form the crew of [Xiu Chun Dao 2].

Today's celebration party, these creative staff are all present. As contributors to the movie's success, everyone is qualified to share the joy of success.

Han Sanping was also present at the celebration party, but he didn't stay long. He hurriedly left after saying a few words. Before leaving, he told Gu Wei and Lu Yang that they would have a good time.

Gu Wei and the others saw that Director Han indeed had other matters, so they did not do anything to persuade him to stay.

No media were invited today. The celebration party was just a pure celebration. Everyone ate, drank and received red envelopes. The whole banquet atmosphere was very good.

“Sister Mi is so beautiful today!

Gee, this charm is infinitely charming! "

Gu Wei praised with a smile on his face.

Yang Mi wore a black slim-fitting dress tonight and a pair of high heels of the same color. The lower half of the skirt was slit from the thigh, revealing a pair of slender white legs.

Her glossy black hair was tied into a bun, revealing her white swan neck, S-shaped curves that bulged forward and backward, and her slim waist was full of elasticity, making her sexy.

She looked happy after hearing Gu Wei's words, but then she gave a fake sigh.

"What's the use of being beautiful? Someone doesn't care at all. She is a good sister when we are together. Once we are separated, we will stop contacting her immediately."

"who?

Whoever goes too far, Sister Mi, tell me and let me scold him for you.

If you have eyes that don’t recognize gold and jade, how dare you let a beautiful woman like Sister Mi hang out, eating the courage of a bear’s heart and a leopard’s guts.”

Gu Wei looked angry.

Of course he knew that Yang Mi was talking about him. After returning to Beijing after filming "Three Lives Three Worlds", Gu Wei was at Mr. Miao's house every day except for work and evenings, and he didn't bother to contact Yang Mi.

She did send two WeChat messages to Gu Wei, but they didn't have anything specific to say, and he just brushed them off with ums and ums.

Yang Mi covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Okay, no need to pretend~

I don’t mean to blame you. I know that your company has a lot of things and you are usually very busy even when you are not filming! "

The two chatted for a while before Gu Wei asked.

"Sister Mi, how long can you rest at home after filming the TV series?"

"rest?

I haven’t rested since I finished filming the TV series. After returning to the capital, I still have a lot to do in terms of endorsements, commercial performances, and brand activities.

Now is the time when you are busy with your career, there is no time to rest! "

Yang Mi said.

Gu Wei nodded to express his understanding. The past two years were when Yang Mi was most popular. To put it bluntly, it was the period of her career's rise. Being a star naturally has a lot of work to do.

"By the way, what is Reba busy with recently?"

Gu Wei asked more questions.

"She is somewhat famous now. Sister Jia helped her get two endorsements. After filming [Three Lives Three Worlds], she has been filming commercials and attending manufacturer events."

Yang Mi said casually.

Gu Wei suddenly realized, no wonder Reba never came to see him after the crew finished filming and returned to Beijing. It was obvious that she was getting a taste of it for the first time, and when she officially bothered Gu Wei the most, it turned out that she was hindered by work.

“I guess she’ll be busy in the next few days.

What, do you miss Reba?

Are you finally going to attack her? "

Yang Mi looked like a smile but not a smile.

Gu Wei looked helpless.

"Sister Mi, can't you miss me? After all, Reba and I have been friends for several years. We both met on the set of "Gu Jian Qi Tan", so it's normal for me to care about her!"

"Haha~ If you really care, you should make Reba famous as soon as possible. After all, you are his boss."

Yang Mi took the opportunity to get resources for Reba.

To say that she is indeed very qualified as a boss, almost all the actors in Jiaxing were led by Yang Mi.

In the beginning, except for her, a top actress, the entire company was completely transparent.

In order to bring people to the show, Yang Mi would take the opportunity to negotiate conditions for artists from her company to play supporting roles whenever a crew came to her. Slowly, she brought out people like Jiaxing. gained some fame.

Reba eventually became a top female figure.

Of course, Reba, a top female figure in later generations, is actually a bit weak in terms of her works.

A few years later, there are actually only two top women born in the 1990s who are widely recognized in the entertainment industry, Yang Zi and Reba.

Yang Zi has two absolute blockbusters, "Dear, Loved" and "Sweet Honey, Ashes Like Frost". In addition, there are hot dramas released every year. There is no doubt that it is top-notch.

Reba's work is far inferior to that of Yang Zi. She became popular because of her role as the female supporting character "Bai Fengjiu" in the hit drama "Three Lives Three Worlds". After that, she starred in a series of TV series with female protagonists, most of which had dismal results.

The ones with better results are like "You Are My Glory" and "Long Song Xing". There is no problem in being a hit, but they are still far from being a blockbuster.

Just because she has a good foundation, she attracted a wave of fans with her beautiful appearance, and she also looks very beautiful on the red carpet when attending various ceremonies. Her popularity has always been high, and she has become a top star in TV series that has not had a hit. .

"No need to tell Sister Mi, if I have a suitable role here, I will definitely not forget Reba."

Gu Wei agreed wholeheartedly.

The two chatted for a while, and Yang Mi suddenly said.

“If you have time in the next few days, please come to [Jiaxing Media]~

Sister Jia has something to discuss with you. "

"Mr. Zeng is looking for me?"

Gu Wei was confused.

Yang Mi nodded.

"Yes, it seems that another company wants to inject capital into Jiaxing. Li Juan contacted it. Sister Jia wants to discuss it with all shareholders. No one can ignore the opinions of you, the major shareholder."

"That's it"

Gu Wei touched his chin as if thinking.

Without his entry, Jiaxing would have had capital enter the market at the end of last year and then sign a gambling agreement.

Gu Wei's joining delayed this time, but what was supposed to come came. However, he is now the largest shareholder of Jiaxing, and together with Yang Mi's shares, the two of them can fully control the company's final decision-making power.

If capital wants to enter the market, you need to carefully consider how much to invest, how many shares to occupy, and what the valuation is.

He is not as easy to figure out as Jiaxing Media. To put it bluntly, if he wants to invest in Jiaxing's so-called capital now, it is not certain whether he has Gu Weiduo's cash in his pocket.

If you want to make money but are unwilling to take risks, there is no such good thing in Gu Wei.
