Nearly two months after filming started, the main plot of "You Are My Glory" in Shanghai has almost been filmed, and all the scenes starring Gu Wei have been filmed.

In addition to Shanghai, this TV series was filmed in two places: Dunhuang and Wenchang City in Hainan Province. There was a scene where the male protagonist visited the team in the desert area of ​​Dunhuang. Wenchang was filmed because there is a satellite launch center at the end of the TV series. plot.

The crew will subsequently move to these two locations to complete the final filming.

On October 14, Gu Wei and the director asked for leave and flew back to Beijing from Shanghai.

We left in the morning and before noon, the plane landed at Beijing International Airport.

Pulling a small suitcase, Gu Wei came out of the VIP exit wearing sunglasses, a cap, and a black windbreaker. The company's nanny car was already waiting in the parking lot.

After coming out of the airport, Gu Wei got in the car and went back to the company first.

"Have all arrangements been made for the afternoon celebration party?"

In the office, Gu Wei called Yang Liwen over as soon as he came back.

"Everything has been arranged, but some crew members of [Tang Detective 2] are currently working on other crews and it is difficult to ask for leave to come back."

Gu Wei nodded to express his understanding.

When filming "Tang Detective 2", the crew members were basically employees of his company. Now the company has also opened "Sweet Honey as Ashes as Frost", "Take My Brother Away Quickly" and "You Are My Glory" at the same time. For three plays, most of these people are scattered among these three crews. They are not guards and cannot ask for leave at any time.

"The celebration is just a formality. Don't forget to give out red envelopes to everyone later!"

"Understood, this won't be bad, everyone on the crew has a role to play"

After speaking, Yang Liwen thought of something else.

"Mr. Gu, the PepsiCo that you endorsed in the past two years is about to expire, and Pepsi has contacted the company hoping to continue cooperating with us.

Similarly, Coca-Cola has also come to invite you to become its new spokesperson. "

Gu Wei raised his eyebrows. He had been happy to work with Pepsi over the past two years. Pepsi had used his popularity and traffic to increase its domestic sales. Apart from filming some advertisements in accordance with the contract, he usually didn't have much to do.

The only thing that needs attention is that Gu Wei cannot drink Pepsi's competitive drinks in public. In fact, he is required not to drink Coca-Cola in front of the camera. It doesn't matter if he drinks mineral water and other drinks.

When he accepted Pepsi's endorsement, he was not as famous as he is now. Within two years, Pepsi made a lot of money.

"What are the requirements and quotations from the two companies?"

“I have read the endorsement contracts given by Pepsi and Coca-Cola. The content is similar and there are no excessive requirements.

Pepsi's offer was US$10 million over two years, and Coca-Cola's offer was US$15 million over two years. "

Gu Wei was a little surprised.

"The difference is so big, the endorsement fee from Coca-Cola exceeds 100 million. Such large endorsement contracts are rare in the entire domestic entertainment industry!"

Yang Liwen smiled.

"In the past two years, Coca-Cola's domestic market has been greatly invaded by Pepsi. You have played a big role in it, so Coca-Cola has also made a big decision this time."

"Okay, then why are you hesitating? If the two parties offer the same price, we can continue to cooperate with Pepsi because of the happy cooperation in the past. Now that the price is half the price, of course I will choose Keke."

Gu Wei made the decision directly.

"Understood, boss, I'll give them an answer later."

Yang Liwen nodded to make it clear and continued.

“In addition to the two cola companies, the company has recently received invitations from some other advertisers, the more important ones include Armani and Bulgari in the luxury category, and Porsche, Cadillac and BMW in the automotive category.

However, these are just intentions now, and the specific endorsement contracts and quotations are still being negotiated.

The release of your two recent blockbuster movies, as well as your previous excellent performance as an endorsement of Louis Vuitton, have attracted the attention of many international big names. "

Gu Wei was not too surprised by the good news brought by Yang Liwen. With his current fame and status, these endorsements would be a matter of time.

Whether it is a big international brand or a domestic brand, finding a spokesperson is nothing more than focusing on the blessing of the star's own reputation to his own brand. In this regard, Gu Wei can be said to be the number one person in domestic entertainment.

His fans are not only numerous but also very loyal. Since his debut, basically all the endorsements he has received have increased the sales of the manufacturer's products.

It's just that his fame has risen too fast, and his endorsement fees have also risen too fast. Some small brands can't support his high endorsement fees and have no choice but to end their cooperation.

It would be good if both Armani and Bulgari can negotiate. In the automotive category, Porsche, Cadillac and BMW are destined to only choose one.

Gu Wei nodded.

"Let's communicate first and then look at the conditions. If the conditions are similar in terms of cars, give priority to Porsche."

Gu Wei has no interest in Cadillac, and BMW is a little disgusted because of the ice cream incident. He only has a good impression of Porsche. He also gave Zhang Tianai a Porsche Panamera before, and he thought the car was quite beautiful.

After doing some work in the company for a while, it was almost time. Gu Wei changed his clothes, went downstairs and got in the car.

First pick up Naza at the Palm Springs International Apartment, and then drive to the Kempinski Hotel.

Nazha gave Gu Wei a big hug as soon as she got in the car.

"Wood~"

He put his arms around Gu Wei's neck and kissed him hard on the face.

"Haha~"

"What are you laughing at?"

Gu Wei asked strangely.

Like a little fox stealing a chicken, Nazha pointed at the place on Gu Wei's face that she had just kissed.

Then he took out a small mirror from his bag and gave it to him.

Only then did Gu Wei notice a red lip mark on his face.

He stared at Naza for two seconds, and Naza embarrassedly took out a wet wipe and gently wiped it for him.

"How many days did you ask for leave from the crew?"

Gu Wei asked casually.

"Three days. I arrived in the capital yesterday afternoon. The celebration party is over today. I will take a photo shoot for a magazine cover tomorrow and then take the evening flight back."

"How long does it take for [Sewing Machine Band] to be finished filming?"

"I asked Sister Zhixi before, and it will be completed in about a month."

It didn't take long for Gu Wei's car to arrive at the Kempinski Hotel. As the host, he was the first to arrive at the celebration banquet.

As the appointed time approached, creative staff such as Wang Baoqiang and Liu Yifei arrived one after another, as did representatives of investors such as China Film, Enlight, and Wanda.

Liu Yifei wore a light green dress today, with her lotus arms exposed, and her skin was so white that it seemed to be glowing.

"Why didn't you go to [Bazaar Charity Night] last month?"

She entered the banquet hall, saw Gu Wei, sat down and chatted with him with a smile on her face.

"I have been filming on the set recently, and then I have to be busy with the promotion of the new movie. Although Su Mang invited her several times, I still declined her due to time issues."

Liu Yifei felt a little regretful.

"What a pity. I thought I would be able to see you at this year's Harper's Bazaar. You must know that there are many stars from the entertainment industry coming this year, and many of them are your acquaintances~"

Although Gu Wei didn't go, he also watched the news.

This year's Harper's Bazaar Charity Night was really full of stars. Except for Tang Yan, everyone from 85 Flowers was present, including Huang Xiaoming and his wife, Deng Dynasty's daughter-in-law Sun Li, Xu Zheng, Wang Kai, members of the men's team, etc. , almost half of the stars in the entertainment industry arrived.

But Gu Wei has nothing to regret. If he wanted to, he could participate in such activities every day throughout the year without having to do anything else.

When Gu Wei is filming, he usually won't ask for leave unless he really has something he can't refuse.

This time I am taking leave, in addition to returning to Beijing to attend the celebration banquet of "Tang Detective 2", I also have to attend the Golden Eagle Festival Awards Ceremony held in Changsha on the 16th.

"Actually, I don't necessarily have to participate in Harper's Bazaar. As you know, I have my own charity fund, and I invest more in it every year than the donations from the entire Bazaar Charity Night."

Gu Wei shrugged and said.

He had talked with Liu Xiaoli when he went to Liu Yifei's house for dinner last time.

"I had forgotten that in addition to being a rich man, Mr. Gu is also a low-key and kind person~"

Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"By the way, does your fund accept donations from outside? Although I am not as rich as you, I still want to do my part."

Gu Wei smiled and shook his head.

"Sister Yifei, this is a personal charity fund. In order to avoid trouble, I don't accept donations from outside. As long as you have this intention."

"Pity"

Gu Wei looked at Liu Yifei's face and thought for a while.

"The main project of the charity fund now is to support education in the western mountainous area. If you want, I can ask the staff to name several newly built teaching buildings after you. This will count as your contribution to charity."

Liu Yifei frowned when she heard Gu Wei's words.

"You're talking as if I want the reputation of charity. Isn't this just trying to gain fame?"

Gu Wei smiled.

"Well, if you really want to do something, you can come to my charity foundation when you have time, and go to impoverished mountainous areas with the staff. I will build a building, and you can buy some tables, chairs, benches and other teaching equipment. That would be great. .”

"Okay, I'll report to your charity foundation when I have some free time."

Liu Yifei happily agreed.

"I will give you the responsible contact information later. My parents have been busy in the foundation for the past two years. You can join them then."

Nazha, who was sitting aside and listening to their chat, suddenly became alert when she heard the last words spoken by Gu Wei.

You want to meet Gu Wei's parents, what are you doing?

"Um~ I also want to do charity. Sister Yifei, you can call me to join us later. Can we contribute money together?"

"Okay, I'll call you when the time comes, and we'll each share half."

Liu Yifei didn't think anything of it and agreed readily.

Wang Baoqiang, who arrived today, was wearing a black suit and looked very energetic.

This was the first time Gu Wei met him after that incident.

"Director, my divorce case hasn't been finalized yet, so I can't pay you back for the time being."

Wang Baoqiang said a little embarrassed when he saw Gu Wei.

"Don't worry, just come this way. If you need anything, you can always open your mouth to me.

By the way, for today’s celebration party, the crew will give you a big red envelope, and the amount will definitely satisfy you.”

Gu Wei patted Wang Baoqiang on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Thank you, director."

Wang Baoqiang looked grateful. He had indeed made the right friend as Gu Wei and had always helped him in the most difficult times.

"There is no need to mention this between us"

There will definitely be a third or even fourth part of the "Detective Chinatown" series. Wang Baoqiang is the absolute leading actor. No one can be without him, so Gu Wei will definitely satisfy him in terms of money. He won't learn how to do it. Xu Zheng, in order to save money and lose the reputation of future movies.

Money can never be made, and it cannot be made by one person. Although Gu Wei has foresight, he has always followed the attitude of win-win cooperation. Only by joining forces with multiple parties can the cake be maximized, and he is the one who divides the cake. Just people.
