Huayu is free to do as you like

On the morning of December 10, Gu Wei’s Gulfstream G550 landed at Beijing International Airport.

He walked out of the VIP channel with his accompanying staff, wearing a light brown windbreaker, a black peaked cap and large sunglasses.

In the parking lot, Gu Wei's black Mercedes-Benz nanny car and several other company vehicles were parked very conspicuously not far from the exit of the passage.

"I'm leaving first, see you in the afternoon!"

Gu Wei turned to Zheng Kai beside him and said something.

"See you in the afternoon"

Zheng Kai responded with a smile on his face.

This afternoon, the premiere ceremony of "The Great Wall" directed by Zhang Yimou was held in Beijing. As actors in the film, Gu Wei and Zheng Kai both needed to attend.

The two set off at the same time, and Gu Wei simply invited Zheng Kai to come back together on his plane.

Watching Gu Wei's black nanny car disappear in the parking lot, Zheng Kai also got in with two entourage to pick up his car.

He read the news two days ago and was surprised by Gu Wei's worth of several billion, but he didn't have any real experience. After all, as a popular star, he was usually not short of money.

But today's ride on Gu Wei's private plane made him truly feel the gap between the real top rich and ordinary celebrities.

On the plane, he also curiously asked Gu Wei about the price of his private jet.

In the end, he discovered that ordinary means of transportation, which were not worth mentioning in Gu Wei's eyes, were already comparable to his entire current net worth.

As expected, people will die when comparing with others, and goods will be thrown away when comparing goods!

“The announcement of [Love Saint] is proceeding completely according to the pre-planned plan, and the results are pretty good now, especially your version of the trailer, which attracted a lot of attention.

[Dear, Beloved] The script has been adapted, and the final version is based on the requirements of the original author Mo Bao Fei Bao.

Director Liu Junjie also took over the drama and can start preparations immediately.

[Chu Qiao Biography] After watching the movie, after several rounds of discussions, Mango Channel currently has the highest offer.

4.5 million for a single episode, and a total quote of 324 million."

Gu Wei took a nanny car from the airport and returned to the company first.

In the office, Yang Liwen was reporting to him on the progress of some of the company's projects in the past half month.

"Mango Channel is very optimistic about [The Legend of Chu Qiao]"

"Maybe it's because they didn't get the movie [Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms] produced by you and Yang Mi. In addition, Mango Channel has been very happy to work with Zhao Liying several times. Last year's big hit "Flower Thousand Bones" made me They made a lot of money, so this time Mango Channel’s offer for Zhao Liying’s new ancient puppet drama was particularly generous.”

Gu Wei listened to Yang Liwen's analysis and nodded.

"What about the video platform?"

"Tengxun Video, iQiyi, and LeTV Video are willing to jointly purchase the online broadcast rights at a price of 4 million yuan per episode, and the total price is 288 million."

"That is to say, according to the highest bid, the first round of copyright transaction for [The Legend of Chu Qiao] is about 8.5 million for a single episode, and the total price is 612 million."

Gu Wei was sitting on the boss's chair behind his desk, with his hands crossed naturally in front of him, his body leaning back slightly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, obviously he was in a very good mood.

The most obvious rule in the film and television industry is that winner takes all. Regardless of movies or TV series, the ability of popular and high-quality works to attract money is extremely exaggerated.

Although the investment in the two TV series "The Legend of Chu Qiao" and "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" is not small, it is nothing compared to the copyright fees they are currently selling. "Wei Ming Xia" has made huge profits again this time!

Of course, with the rise in TV drama copyright prices in the past two years and the rapid increase in actors' salaries, if these two dramas are remade now, the investment is estimated to be doubled.

As the boss of a film and television company, and as a capitalist, Gu Wei doesn't want actors' salaries to rise too exaggeratedly, but he has no choice. This thing is determined by the market and cannot be controlled by personal will.

Moreover, as Gu Wei is a leader, his current salary quotation for film and television dramas is almost the only one in domestic entertainment. However, he has been acting in his own company's dramas recently, so the salary is not obvious.

"Yes, the main reason is the quality of [The Legend of Chu Qiao], coupled with the blessing of Zhao Liying's fame, both local TV and video platforms are optimistic about the future broadcast performance of this drama."

After speaking, Yang Liwen hesitated.

"There is a high chance that he will be the next [Flower Thousand Bones]."

"Okay, let's sign a contract with Mango Channel and several video platforms based on this quotation!"

Gu Wei didn't hesitate and made the decision directly.

Although the copyright fee of 612 million is not comparable to "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", it is also the highest quotation for TV dramas at this stage.

After speaking, Gu Wei thought of something and added.

"The contract must be clear with several platforms about the launch time of [The Legend of Chu Qiao]. It will definitely not be in February, and don't set the schedule with [Three Lives Three Worlds].

Both films are very high-quality ancient puppet dramas. As long as the time is divided, each can completely explode! "

Yang Liwen nodded.

"Understood, boss, I will communicate this matter with Mango Channel and Tengxun Video.

I guess they won’t want to compete with the TV series you starred in in [The Legend of Chu Qiao].”

At 2 p.m., the premiere ceremony of the movie "The Great Wall" was held in Beijing.

At the premiere, director Zhang Yimou attended with his wife and children. All the actors in the film, including Matt Damon, Jing Tian, ​​Pedro Pascal, Andy Lau, Willem Dafoe, Zhang Hanyu, etc., were also present.

Even minor supporting actors such as Lin Gengxin, Zheng Kai, Huang Xuan, Chen Xuedong, and Wang Junkai, who had few scenes in the movie, also dressed up to attend.

[The Great Wall] is a Sino-US joint venture jointly produced by China Film Group, LeTV Pictures, Legendary Pictures, and Universal Pictures. It is a super-large production based on the Hollywood industrialized production model and costing US$150 million.

It can be said that this film has attracted the attention of everyone inside and outside the industry since the beginning of its preparation.

The ultra-high investment of US$150 million is the first of its kind in the mainland film industry, and it is considered the top A-level production even in Hollywood.

Now this magical action movie, which took two years to make, is about to be released, and everyone is eagerly looking forward to seeing what kind of sparks Zhang Yimou and the Hollywood team can create.

The premiere of "The Great Wall" did not invite other stars in the industry to attend. Maybe the organizers felt that the fame of these actors was enough to attract attention.

In the movie of National Master Zhang Yimou, Hollywood superstar Matt Damon, King Liu Dehua, the super popular idols of the younger generation Gu Wei and Lu Han, even the soy sauce Zheng Kai and Lin Gengxin are all popular stars, and they are all in other movies. It's a role for the protagonist.

The scene was crowded with people, almost all entertainment media personnel were present, and the audience packed the venue to capacity.

On the red carpet, there will be cheers and screams every time a star arrives.

Lu Han was wearing a dark jacket today, an orange plaid shirt underneath, and a pair of black jeans. The overall style was very relaxed and casual.

After he walked onto the red carpet alone, the audience and fans on both sides screamed. Lu Han also smiled and greeted everyone, and finally stood in the area in front of the stage for the media to take photos.

After standing for a while, he was about to walk inside when suddenly there was a deafening shout from behind. The fans' shouts and enthusiasm seemed to ignite the entire venue.

As soon as Lu Han rolled his eyes, he knew that Gu Wei must have arrived.

In fact, Lu Han is really popular now and has a lot of fans. He has also achieved various achievements after returning to China. In the domestic entertainment industry of his age group, there is no one other than Gu Wei.

This can be seen from the various lists published in recent days.

Of course, this is not accurate.

In fact, Gu Wei's current popularity is not only compared to that of male celebrities of the same age group, but his exaggerated performance so far is unique to domestic entertainment.

Even if the veteran movie king is better than him in terms of qualifications, he will still be crushed by Gu Wei in the movie box office.

If I have to find someone to compare with, the current Gu Wei is a bit like Cheng Long at the peak of early Hong Kong movies. From his popularity to his works, he is unrivaled and his popularity is half the sky.

Looking at various lists, Lu Han seemed to be only behind Gu Wei, but he knew that the actual gap between the two was very large, so he was very smart and never thought of comparing himself with Gu Wei.

Moreover, the two have always had a good relationship. From the beginning when Wu Jing didn't know each other, to when the other party generously helped him solve Huang Zitao's troubles, now they can be considered very good friends.

It's just that Lu Han was a little surprised why Gu Wei came so early today. According to his usual habit, all kinds of ceremonies are the last in the dojo.

This is not because Gu Wei is showing off as a big name, but as long as he participates in an event, the organizer will arrange for him to arrive last.

The main reason is that he has the most fans. If he is allowed to be the finale, the atmosphere at the scene will be very good, and the audience and media present will also have a sense of expectation.

With this thought in mind, after hesitating for a few seconds, Gu Wei quickly walked across the red carpet and stood in front of Lu Han.

"Little deer~"

Gu Wei was wearing a casual black suit, low-key and casual yet steady. When he saw Lu Han, he was the first to say hello to him.

Originally, the stylist chose a very fashionable sky blue suit for him today, but Gu Wei rejected it.

Including arriving early now, Gu Wei consciously came early.

To be honest, Gu Wei knew that he didn't have many scenes in "The Great Wall". It didn't matter if the film crew wanted to take advantage of his popularity, and he didn't mind, but he didn't want to be in the limelight. It was originally a friendly guest appearance, so he just kept a low profile.

"Brother Wei."

Lu Han greeted with a smile on his face.

After Gu Wei stood up and took a few photos for the reporters, he happened to leave with Lu Han. Unexpectedly, the reporters outside shouted.

"Gu Wei! Lu Han!

Let’s take a group photo together.”

Several people shouted at the same time, unable to hold back everyone's enthusiasm. Gu Wei and Lu Han looked at each other and stood side by side for the media to take a few pictures.

The two left the photo area, and the reporters looked down at the photos they had just taken.

"Wow~ The photo of Gu Wei and Lu Han in the same frame is really rare!"

"Both of them are so handsome, their looks are beyond compare."

"I feel like Lu Han looks a little petite next to Gu Wei~"

"It's normal for there to be a slight gap between 178 and 185."

"."

"What have you been busy with lately?"

As the two of them walked inside, Gu Wei asked.

"In addition to recording variety shows in the past six months, I have been preparing a new album."

"Really? Remember to send me a copy of the new album when it comes out."

Lu Han smiled bitterly.

"Brother Wei, I won't show off my musical accomplishments in front of you."

Gu Wei smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Nothing to show off, just like it.

And weren’t the songs you sang before in EXO very popular with fans~"

Lu Han smiled sheepishly.

"By the way, Brother Wei, why don't you release songs now?

It would be a pity not to continue singing with your talent in music.

I love the song [A Bridge of Destiny] from our movie so much, and the two English songs you released before are still very popular in North America."

"I'm too busy. I usually act, and I don't have much time to write songs and sing. After all, for me, being an actor is my first career, and being a singer is just a hobby."

Gu Wei raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly.

"What a pity."

The two entered the premiere venue, and slowly everyone in the crew arrived.

"Gu Wei, thank you for writing the ending song for the movie. It seems that the publicity effect is very good!"

Director Zhang Yimou looked at Gu Wei and said with a smile.

"The director is so kind. My song is the icing on the cake. Our movie mainly depends on you, the director."

Gu Wei said modestly.

"Haha~ Come on, let me introduce you. This is my lover, and this is my daughter Zhang Mo, who is also a director."

Then Zhang Yimou introduced to Gu Wei the family members who came with him today.

Gu Wei also greeted each one politely.

"Director Zhang Mo released a movie [28 Years Old Minor] some time ago, right?"

Gu Wei asked, looking at Zhang Yimou's gentle-looking daughter.

"Yes, have you seen that movie?"

Zhang Mo asked with a dignified manner and a smile.

"I'm currently filming a movie, and the actress I'm cooperating with, Ni Ni, is the heroine of your movie. She mentioned Director Zhang and your movie to me."

"Really~

Have you seen the movie? "

Zhang Mo asked again.

The two had a common topic and started chatting together.

Director Zhang Yimou went to receive others.

The premiere ceremony of "The Great Wall" lasted for nearly four hours, including interviews with reporters, audience interactions, movie screenings, etc. In the end, Gu Wei sang the song "A Bridge of Fate" live, which aroused bursts of cheers from the audience. scream.

Finally, all the main creators took a group photo on stage.

Director Zhang Yimou stood in the middle, with Da Tiantian in a white dress on the left and Matt Damon on the right.

On Matt's side are two foreign actors from the movie, and then there are Huang Xuan, Chen Xuedong and Wang Junkai.

Standing on Jingtian's side were Liu Dehua, Zhang Hanyu, Lu Han, Gu Wei, Lin Gengxin and Zheng Kai.

Gu Wei was originally arranged to stand between Jing Tian and Hua Tsai, but Gu Wei came on stage and went straight to the edge of a row of people. Liu Dehua, who was standing in the middle, waved Gu Wei to come over. Jing Tian also looked sideways at him with big eyes. , Gu Wei just waved his hand.

"Gu Wei, why did you run to the edge?"

Zhang Hanyu chatted with Gu Wei across Lu Han. The two had drinks together at the celebration banquet of "Operation Mekong River" last month. They had a good relationship and had no worries about chatting.

Gu Wei smiled bitterly.

"Brother Hanyu, you also know that I only have a few scenes in the [movie]. Now that the publisher is promoting it like this, I'm already very embarrassed. I won't mess with it when taking pictures."

Zhang Hanyu also understood what was going on, so he said nothing more.

Andy Lau who was standing next to him saw him chatting with Gu Wei, and curiously talked to Zhang Hanyu. Zhang Hanyu explained Gu Wei's thoughts to him, and Andy nodded in understanding.

"Brother Wei, don't hurt me!

Even if you don’t want to stand in the middle, don’t stand outside me. How about we switch? When this photo is posted, I will be scolded by netizens! "

Lu Han frowned and smiled bitterly.

Gu Wei's lips curled up slightly and he patted his shoulder.

"You have a big role in the movie, so shouldn't you stand in front of me? Look at why I don't side with Xiaoxin.

Don’t worry, when you post two photos of us together on Weibo later, I will give you a like! "

"Okay~

Anyway, I can’t defeat you, I can only listen to you.”

Lu Han said, while Lin Gengxin, who was standing on the other side of Gu Wei, was eating melon and laughing.
