Huayu is free to do as you like

Lu Yang has been very proud of himself recently. Although the movie has been released, his directing ability has been seen by everyone. The most important thing is that he has proven himself in the directing industry and has been seen by everyone in the industry. Make movies that make money.

This is so important. In the film and television industry, 9 out of 10 films invested in end up losing money. A director who has proven himself is a popular star in the entire industry.

Gu Wei's company was not big, so Lu Yang was led by the front desk to Gu Wei's office.

"Senior brother, looking at your cheerful face, you have been very comfortable recently."

Lu Yang strode over with a smile on his face, looking like he was in high spirits on a happy occasion.

"Both each other, junior brother is both the leading actor and investor, so the gains are no less than mine."

"Hahaha~" After saying this, the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"I heard that during this period, senior brother has become a guest of major film and television companies. He must have gained a lot." Gu Wei asked.

"Ahem~ What kind of guest? It's just that they asked the people around me to invite me. I couldn't refuse because of the favor, so I just perused them."

Lu Yang said with some disdain.

"When I was looking for investors, no one looked good on me. For a year, I went to all the major film companies and they didn't give me a penny. Now that the movie is successful, they all pretend to be good people. What have you been doing?"

Gu Wei was not surprised when he heard this. Lu Yang was right, but the film companies were not wrong either. Everyone has different positions, but now that Lu Yang's movie is successful, it seems that there is something wrong with their vision.

"Senior brother, I'm looking for you today because my senior brother mentioned that movie."

"There's no problem with the movie. I promised you this a long time ago." Lu Yang said nonchalantly.

"I have already written the script. Senior brother, please take a look at it first." Gu Wei said and handed a script to Lu Yang.

"So fast, okay, let me see how your story goes first." After taking the script, Lu Yang didn't care about anything else and started reading it in Gu Wei's office.

Gu Wei didn't care and asked his assistant to refill tea for the two of them. While drinking tea, he waited quietly for Lu Yang.

Lu Yang looked at it very carefully. Fortunately, the story itself of "Detective Chinatown" is not complicated and the timeline is not long.

After a while, Lu Yang put down the script, thought about it and said

"Junior brother, your script is very good. Do you want to consider letting me make this movie?"

Lu Yang, who originally just wanted to help Gu Wei and return his favor, became a little tempted after reading the script.

Gu Wei was not surprised either. He smiled and said, "Brother, you can't take away people's love. This is the movie I have always wanted to make."

"I originally thought that if you wanted to make a movie, you were just trying to fulfill your dream of being a director.

But after reading this script, I realized, Junior brother, you are going to do something big. " Lu Yang sighed with emotion

"Sure enough, I should have known from the time you invested in my movie. Junior brother, you are not an ordinary person. You have courage!"

After listening to Lu Yang's words, Gu Wei smiled and waved his hand

"Senior brother, you are not as exaggerated as you said, I just do what I want to do.

I have already started preparations for the early stage of the movie, and I have one more thing I need my senior brother to help me with. "

"Junior brother, if you have anything to do, just ask."

"After all, I am a new director. Although I can invest in the filming myself, if we want to make movies in the end, we have to find two partners. Please come and discuss this matter with me when the time comes. . When the time comes, I will have to borrow my senior brother’s tiger skin for use.” Gu Wei said jokingly.

"That's no problem. After all, I also want to participate in the filming of the movie, so lending my name is not a lie.

Junior brother has already thought of a company to cooperate with. "Lu Yang asked.

"China Film, Wanda, Guangguang" Gu Wei replied.

"Ah, this movie hasn't even been filmed yet, and my junior brother has already thought about getting through all the links for post-release." Lu Yang sighed.

"Mainly because I am from a small family, I can barely get enough people for the movie shooting, and I will have senior brothers to help me when the time comes.

But I really can’t do much in terms of post-release. Brother, you also know that no matter how good the movie is, if the distribution is not good and the publicity is not good enough, and the theaters cannot keep up with the film schedule, it will be more difficult to get a box office.

If China Film, Wanda, and Enlight can join in, then after the movie is released, the promotion and scheduling will not be too bad. "Gu Wei said.

"Okay, it seems that your idea is very thorough, so I feel relieved. When will the shooting time be scheduled?" Lu Yang asked.

"It will take some time to prepare in the early stage. If everything goes well, the shooting will probably take place in the first half of next year. The estimated shooting time is about three months." Gu Wei thought for a while and said.

"It just so happens that I have been free for the past six months. China Film has mentioned to me about filming "Xiu Chun Dao 2". I plan to spend some time polishing the script. Now that I have run out of inspiration, I can help you find inspiration while filming. "

After talking about business, the two chatted for a while and talked about some recent events in the industry.

In particular, he talked about a few movies released last month. Lu Yang was still sighing after watching [囧囧] and [ Zodiac ] which pocketed hundreds of millions at the box office.

"Junior brother, do you think the only way for us to make movies in the future will be comedies is to be successful?"

Lu Yang was also a little confused.

Even though he just made a successful movie, he knows that more than 200 million is the upper limit for his martial arts movies.

A road comedy or an action comedy can easily earn several times his box office.

"Watching a movie? Most viewers still want to have fun. Besides, comedy movies have a large audience, and many of them are suitable for families to watch together. The number of movie-goers has suddenly increased."

Gu Wei replied.

He knew that what Lu Yang said was right. In the future, the Chinese movies that would sell well at the box office would be comedies, except for some patriotic movies that promoted positive energy.

Such as Xu Zheng's "囧" series, Ning Hao's "Crazy" series, Happy Twist's movies and even Jia Ling's later movie.

Comedy hits are often based on small gains.

After chatting with Lu Yang for a while, the two agreed to find time to visit Teacher Xu together, and Lu Yang left.

During the subsequent conversation, Gu Wei learned that Lu Yang had just established his own film company [Free Cool Whale Pictures Co., Ltd.].

It seems that this senior brother is also a master who is unwilling to be taken over by others. It seems that the wishful thinking of these movie companies is going to be miscalculated.

[Detective Chinatown] There are still many places where we need to rely on Lu Yang. Although Lu Yang originally intended to return Gu Wei's favor, Gu Wei has never been a stingy person.

He has already prepared Lu Yang's share. Although it's not too much, it's definitely worth his efforts.

Gu Wei knows that living alone in this society will never last long. If you want to keep all the benefits in your own pocket, the end result will be that you will get nothing.

The best way is to make the cake bigger together and share the most delicious piece of it.
