Huayu is free to do as you like

office.

A short-haired lady with fair skin and a good face was sitting on the sofa, with a cup of steaming coffee in front of her.

She crossed her legs and looked at Gu Wei across from her expectantly.

"You asked me to come [I am not the God of Medicine] to start preparations?

I heard that Xiaowen's movie was finished shooting some time ago and is still in post-production. Does he have time? "

The speaker was none other than Han Jia'v, the daughter of China Film Director Han and the screenwriter of the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

"Senior sister, don't be anxious. If you have a good meal, don't be afraid of being late. I attach great importance to the movie "The God of Medicine". I must be fully prepared in all aspects before I can start filming.

I have great expectations for this movie! "

Gu Wei said with a smile on his face.

He is not in a hurry to make "I'm Not a Medicine God". Although this film is good, it is essentially a reality-themed drama.

Although the domestic film market is becoming more mature and large now, with the highest box office record having been pushed to 3.3 billion by "Mermaid", if you look closely, you will find that the really best-selling movies are either comedies or action movies.

Realistic drama films will be classified as literary films. No matter how good their reputation is, they will not get high box office.

Just like when Gu Wei first entered the industry 4 years ago, Li Xian starred in his first movie "A Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart", and Gu Wei went to the premiere.

Can you say bad about that movie? The Douban score is 8.9. The heroine Yan Bingyan has won the [Beijing International Film Festival], [Huabiao Award], [Chinese Film Media Award], and [Beijing University Student Film Festival] for her outstanding performance in the film. 】4 Best Actress trophies.

However, the final box office of "Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart" was only 2.491 million.

It doesn’t matter if it’s well shot or acted, the audience won’t like it.

Of course, the reasons why this film failed miserably at the box office were due to its unpalatable subject matter, lack of big-name stars, poor post-production promotion, and other factors.

But the general situation in the domestic film market at that time was that audiences did not like to go to the movies to watch feature films. This was the most essential reason.

As for whether this feature film is a good movie, no one cares.

At that time, when everyone went to the cinema, they either wanted to watch some funny comedies and have fun; or they wanted to watch blockbusters with good visual effects and experience sensory stimulation. There were very few viewers who really paid attention to the plot of the movie.

However, this situation is gradually changing as the domestic film market becomes larger and the movie-going audience becomes more mature.

Everyone’s movie-watching habits are slowly returning to their true nature.

After the domestic film market was brought to more than 5 billion by "Wolf Warrior 2" in 2017, films that truly tell a good story are increasingly accepted by the audience.

Later, many movies that had no special effects and were not pure comedies could also achieve very good results in the market because they could tell a touching story or capture the joys and sorrows of small characters.

[I am not the God of Medicine] is the best example.

The original version of "The God of Medicine" relied on Xu Zheng's fame in the early stage of promotion, but after it was released, it relied entirely on word-of-mouth and quality to break through the circle. Word-of-mouth among netizens drove the box office.

So even if it's filming, Gu Wei plans to wait until 2017 before filming. Anyway, the copyright of the script is in his hands, so he is not in a hurry.

If [Medicine God] failed to achieve the good results of the original time and space due to time constraints, Gu Wei would not forgive himself.

He really thinks that "I'm Not a Medicine God" is a good movie, but making money is the second most important thing. If it can have a better box office, more people will see it. This is the best reward for an excellent movie.

"Then why did you come to me today?"

When she heard that it had nothing to do with her movie, Han Jia Nu was a little less interested.

Gu Wei smiled and didn't care.

"Senior sister, you and the literary director are classmates, and you are also a top student who graduated from the directing department of Beijing Film Academy.

Now that your classmates can direct films independently, don’t you feel itchy? "

Han Jianu looked at Gu Wei doubtfully.

"You don't mean to ask me to be the director to make a movie for you, do you?"

Gu Wei smiled and nodded.

“No, no.

I haven’t made a single movie since graduation. Isn’t it a joke to ask me to be the director? "

Han Jianu waved her hands repeatedly.

"They are all graduate students of Beijing Film Academy's directing department. They started making movies right after they graduated as literary directors. What's wrong with you, senior sister?"

Gu Wei began to use the provocation method.

"I can't do it. Xiaowen was a top student when he was in school. He won awards for the short films he made when he was in graduate school. He is talented.

I still have some ability in writing and screenwriting, but I really don’t have confidence in directing. "

Han Jianu smiled bitterly.

Gu Wei ignored her excuses and took a white-covered script from the desk beside him and handed it to Han Jianu.

"This is the movie I want you to make. It's called [Take My Brother Away]. It's a relaxed campus fantasy comedy that tells the story of a brother and sister.

The story is very simple. I think the unique perspective and emotional delicacy of a female director are more suitable for this film, so I thought of you, senior sister.

The investment in the movie is not large, and even if the box office is not satisfactory at the end, you won’t lose much money, so you don’t have to feel any psychological burden at all.”

[Take My Brother Away Quickly] Gu Wei has seen this movie, but he really can't remember who directed the original film. He seems to have the impression that it was a female director.

The plot of the movie is very simple, and it is adapted from a comic book. The story is clearly laid out, making it very easy to shoot.

So he simply asked Han Jianu to give her a try. After all, she was a top student in the directing department of Beijing Film Academy and Wen Muye's classmate. She could write the script of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", but why didn't she have two brushes?

And as Gu Wei said, this movie really doesn’t cost a lot of money. The main actors are all children in their teens and 20s. The scenes are either at home or in school. The shooting estimates given by Gu Wei’s professionals are The cost is 15 million to 20 million.

This amount of money is less than half of Gu Wei's personal salary. At this time, it is considered a real low-cost small investment in the film industry.

Even though she said no, Han Jia Nyeo still took the script and read it carefully.

Gu Wei sat opposite, silently drinking coffee slowly.

After a while, Han Jia Nu seemed to be attracted by the story of the script, and Gu Wei simply took out his mobile phone to browse the news.

There is something really hot on the Internet recently.

Recently, when Dong Jie and his son Ding Ding participated in the recording of the reality show "Mom is Superman", faced with the question "Has Ding Ding ever asked you questions about your father in front of you?", Dong Jie responded calmly: "There is no way, we We all have to accept reality, I have to accept reality, Dingding has to accept reality, no one can change fate."

Late at night on April 25, Pan Yueming posted on Weibo: "If you really have to face reality, do you dare to tell the truth...".

Since the reality show became popular on the Internet, the loving interaction between Dong Jie's single mother and her son has moved many people. Dong Jie's comments on Weibo are full of comments like: "Let's get back together for the sake of the child and his father."

But before the beautiful fantasies of netizens were over, the former couple, who had fallen in love and hurt each other, once again started to quarrel with each other on the basis of suspicion, forcing netizens to "accept reality."

Gu Wei silently liked Pan Yueming's Weibo post.

"This story is really good. It's full of deep warmth between brother and sister. It uses a fantasy comedy to convey the emotions. Wow, the story design is really good."

From the perspective of a screenwriter, the Han family daughter praised the script.

"Since senior sister likes it so much, then why are there any hesitations?

You have also read the script. The story line is clear and there is nothing difficult to shoot."

Gu Wei put down his phone and gave a few more words of advice.

Han Jianyu put down the script, took a sip of the coffee in front of her, and frowned slightly as she thought about it.

Gu Wei didn't say anything anymore, waiting for her final reply.

He found director Han Jiaonv on a whim. Even if the other party didn't agree, it didn't matter much. The script was here, so he could just find someone else.

Finally, she seemed to think of something, her brows widened and a smile appeared on her face.

"Okay, since you trust me so much, I will accept this movie!"

"Then congratulations, senior sister. The crew can start preparations right away. I have all the staff. The leading actor has been chosen for you."

Gu Wei said with a smile on his face.

"Don't be busy yet"

Han Jianu stretched out her hand to interrupt Gu Wei's speech.

"I can accept the movie, but in order to be responsible for you as the investor and our movie, I have to find someone to co-direct with me. After all, this is my first time and I don't have enough confidence in myself."

"No problem, senior sister, which director from China Film Group are you looking for?"

Gu Wei thought that the other party wanted to find an experienced director from China Film Group to help her. After all, with her father's status, it would be easiest to find such a person.

“It’s not from China Film Group Corporation, it’s a friend of mine, a young stage director.

At the beginning of this year, I wrote and directed my first movie [Hello, Madman! ], I think he, like Xiao Wen, is a genius director! "

Han Jianu said minding her own business.

Gu Wei heard the name of the movie sounded familiar and asked doubtfully.

"What's your friend's name?"

"His last name is very special, Rao, and the forgiving Rao is called Rao Xiaozhi!"

Gu Wei listened to Han Jianu's narration without any reaction on the surface, but he was ecstatic inside. This was a complete unexpected gain.

Director Rao Xiaozhi's later film "The Unknown" is still very famous.

Like Lu Yang and Wen Mu, they are all outstanding directors of the new generation. If they can get a company, there will be no shortage of director talents for making movies in the future.

Wen Muye and Rao Xiaozhi can completely serve as his right-hand man. If there are any good themes and ideas, let them shoot them.

He also remembered now that it seemed that the producer of "The Unknown", the movie that made Director Rao famous in the future, was Han Jianu in front of him. It was not surprising that they had known each other for a long time.

"To be praised by Senior Sister, I believe that this Director Rao is by no means an ordinary person. He will definitely bring him over to me to get to know him when he has time."

"Don't worry, since I plan to get him to co-direct, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

With the script she got from Gu Wei in her bag, Han Jianu walked out of the [Wei Ming Xia] building full of thoughts.

Ever since Gu Wei bought the office building where his company is located, he renamed it after his company.

It was not yet noon, and Gu Wei originally invited her to have lunch with him, but she refused because she had something to do.

Although she has accepted the movie, it is her first time after all. She is not in the mood to eat now and just wants to get the most important things done first.

After walking to the parking lot under the office building and getting into her car, Han Jianu did not start the ignition, but took out her mobile phone first.

"Hello?"

"What's wrong, Miss Han?"

A slightly tired male voice came from the other side of the phone.

Han Jianyu frowned.

"What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

"No, I stayed up late last night editing the film, and I finally finished the remaining bits in the post-production process.

Damn it, Lao Guo, he agreed to be the producer for me, but in the end he didn’t help me even though he had his name on it, so he just went to do his own job.

I was busy inside and outside the movie alone.”

Han Jia Nu turned around and knew what was going on.

"Don't complain. Guo Fan has taken on such a big project from China Film Group. It's already very hard for him to prepare his own movie. It's normal that he can't help you."

There was a pause on the other side of the phone.

"I also know that the key point is that he hasn't collected enough money for the project budget. No matter how many sketches you draw, what's the use if you don't have the money to build it.

This is a small project of mine, easy to shoot, and he clearly agreed to it last time we had a drink, but he disappeared after staying at my set for two days.

"

Listening to Rao Xiaozhi's constant complaints on the phone, Han Jianu quickly interrupted him.

"How long does it take for you to finish this film?"

"Um~ I'm almost done with the later stage, and it will be all over in ten days and a half.

The producer plans to have my movie released during the Lunar New Year this year.

Haha~ This is my first movie, you really look up to me."

Rao Xiaozhi is a bit talkative, and he will answer ten questions when asked. Obviously Han Jianu also knows his character, so she will interrupt him after talking to him.

"Okay, hurry up and do it, I've found another job for you!"

"What work?

Miss Han asked me to make a movie?

What new projects does China Film have? "

"It's not China Film, but have you heard of [Wei Mingxia]?"

"[Wei Mingxia]?

Big star Gu Wei's company, the producer of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and "Detective Chinatown"? "

At this time, [Wei Ming Xia] is no longer an unknown small company. In addition to its famous boss Gu Wei, the company has led the production of several well-produced film and television dramas, and its achievements have attracted the attention of many people in the industry.

"Yes, Gu Wei is my junior brother, and we have a good relationship."

Talking about Gu Wei, Han Jianu was also very proud.

"He asked me to direct a new movie. I really don't have enough confidence. Isn't it okay for you to finish the movie? Can we co-direct it?"

The relationship between Han Jianu and Rao Xiaozhi has always been good. She has helped each other a lot in the past, so she doesn't mince words when talking.

"Uh~ I can't shirk your request. You don't need to be a co-director. I'll just be your executive director. I'll definitely make the movie for you clearly!"

Rao Xiaozhi not only agreed directly, but also took the initiative to downgrade himself.

Co-directing can be said to be the work of two people. Being the executive director is completely working for Han Jia Nyeo. He means that he will do the work, and it is Miss Han who gets the fame.

But he was willing to do this. Rao Xiaozhi was just a little-known director now. Although he and Han Jia'v were friends, they owed each other a lot of favors before.

Moreover, he knew that it would be too easy for the other party to find a mature director to help him make a movie. Finding him to work with him was completely giving him a chance.

"No need, don't mess with those useless things. I've already agreed with Gu Wei to ask you to co-direct. If you become the executive director, then who will I be.

Okay, stop talking nonsense, since you have no problem, come out for a meal later, and I will show you the script."

Rao Xiaozhi on the other end of the phone also looked helpless.

"Okay! Then Miss Han, I will listen to you."
