Huayu is free to do as you like

Early the next morning, after saying goodbye to Yang Zi, Gu Wei drove to Pudong International Airport with Xiao Zhan and Jiang Peiyao.

There was no complicated check-in and security check. The group walked through the special VIP channel and boarded the Gulfstream G550, which is slightly smaller among the passenger planes.

Jiang Peiyao and Xiao Zhan both come from ordinary families, and this was their first time experiencing flying on a private jet.

The two of them followed Gu Wei the whole time. After Jiang Peiyao got on the plane, she looked left and right, looking like she had never seen the world.

Xiao Zhan was better, he didn't make any big moves, but his constantly rolling eyes still betrayed him. As a boy, he was actually more interested in this big toy of a top rich man than Jiang Peiyao.

"If you are sleepy, there is a bedroom inside where you can take a nap, but we will be in the capital in two hours, so we can't sleep for too long."

After sitting down, Gu Wei took the laptop from his assistant, opened it and placed it on the small table in front of him.

In addition to several seats, the main cabin of Gu Wei's private jet also has a dedicated office area designed to facilitate working at any time during the flight.

Jiang Peiyao and Xiao Zhan both shook their heads. It was only the morning, not to mention the flight time was short, so there was no need to sleep.

"Oh~ By the way, there is a dedicated WiFi on the plane. You can connect to the Internet. It will not be affected even if you take off."

Because he had to work, Gu Wei was afraid that the two of them would be bored, so he reminded them.

As soon as he finished speaking, a slim and beautiful flight attendant walked over with dignified steps. When she came to Gu Wei's side, she leaned slightly and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Boss, do you need something to drink?"

Gu Wei, who was turning on the computer, didn't even raise his head.

"A glass of water."

The flight attendant nodded slightly, her expression unchanged, and then looked at Xiao Zhan and Jiang Peiyao.

"What do you two want to drink? We have cola, juice, and tea drinks."

"I also want a glass of water." Xiao Zhan said hurriedly.

"Give me a glass of orange juice~" Jiang Peiyao thought for a moment and said.

The flight attendant nodded, then straightened up and left.

"Brother, is this stewardess also your employee?"

After the flight attendant left, Jiang Peiyao asked curiously.

"Of course, including the pilot of this plane, their entire flight team is fixed to serve me alone, and I pay all the wages." Gu Wei opened his mailbox and answered while checking the newly sent emails. Regarding Jiang Peiyao’s question.

Jiang Peiyao was a little stunned when she heard Gu Wei's words.

Her father was a choreographer in the military region's cultural troupe, and her mother was a grassroots civil servant. Although she had no worries about food and drink since she was a child, her life was too far away from the top rich people like Gu Wei.

After a while, the flight attendant brought water and juice, and a cut fruit plate with all kinds of fresh fruits.

"Boss, the fruits were just replenished on the plane this morning. They are all the freshest."

Gu Wei nodded to indicate he understood.

The plane slowly took off and soared high into the sky. Gu Wei was working. Xiao Zhan and Jiang Peiyao also took out their mobile phones and started browsing after the initial freshness.

The G550 flies particularly smoothly. Private jets usually fly at higher altitudes than civil airliners, and the general cruising altitude is above 12,000 meters.

This altitude has reached the stratosphere.

The flight journey of the aircraft in the stratosphere is very relaxed, with less noise and light bumps, making the flight experience more comfortable.

The engines of private jets are also lower in power than civil aircraft and have better sound insulation. Sitting on the plane will not cause the discomfort caused by the loud noise of civil aircraft, and you will not be afraid of being affected whether you are working or resting.

After replying to a few important emails, Gu Wei closed the computer, picked up the water glass next to him and took a sip.

"Brother, I just checked, and it is said on the Internet that a private jet of your model costs at least US$40 million."

Jiang Peiyao looked away from the phone when she saw that Gu Wei had finished his work.

"Yes, the price for Gulfstream customization is about this. It is more expensive including interior decoration." Gu Wei smiled.

"That's 300 million. It's really a big toy for the super rich."

Gu Wei's purchase of a private jet has not been publicized to the outside world, but it has not been kept secret either. There have been news reports online before.

"Actually, it's okay to buy it. Many rich people can afford it even if they grit their teeth.

However, the high annual maintenance cost after purchasing is the reason why many wealthy people are deterred from purchasing it.

Take my Taiwanese G550 as an example. The management fee of the hosting operator, the fee for applying for a route for each takeoff, the salary of the crew and the insurance fee, etc., cost more than 30 million a year, which is roughly equivalent to the purchase price of the aircraft. About 10%. "

Seeing that Jiang Peiyao had always been so curious about private jets, Gu Wei simply explained it to her in detail.

“It costs 30 million every year!

If you earn less, you will definitely not be able to afford it.

How much does it cost even if you fly first class every time you go out?”

Not to mention the 300 million yuan spent on buying airplanes, the 30 million yuan spent every year is an unimaginable astronomical figure for Jiang Peiyao now.

The conversation between the two attracted Xiao Zhan's attention.

"The boss's one should be considered the highest-end private jet. Many wealthy people in China buy it for less money." He knew more about Jiang Peiyao than Jiang Peiyao.

Gu Wei smiled.

"The highest grade is not considered. As far as Gulfstream is concerned, it has now released the new G650, which is 200 million more expensive than mine. I remember that the boss of JD.com bought that model.

But there are indeed many small private jets with cheaper prices, ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions."

As he spoke, Gu Wei looked at Xiao Zhan, who was quite interested across the way.

“At this stage, as long as you can become famous, being a celebrity is definitely a very profitable profession.

If you like it, you may have the opportunity to buy your own plane in the future."

If Xiao Zhan can still become a top-notch player, then he can indeed afford it, but I'm afraid it won't work for someone like Gu Wei. A cheaper one will be fine.

Of course, as his boss, the more he earns, the more Gu Wei will earn.

"Me? It's not possible. Boss, are you kidding me?" Xiao Zhan pointed at himself with a look of disbelief.

He didn't know where Gu Wei got his confidence. Anyway, he didn't dare to think about it himself. Now Xiao Zhan felt that it would be great if he could become popular and become a second- or third-tier star.

Gu Wei smiled and didn't explain much.

Two hours passed quickly and the plane landed at Beijing International Airport.

After coming out of the airport, people from [Wow Haw Wow] picked up Xiao Zhan. Gu Wei first sent Jiang Peiyao back to school, and then took a bus to the company.

"The announcement of [Take My Brother Quickly] has been underway since the beginning of this month."

In the office, Yang Liwen was reporting to Gu Wei on some recent work.

“China Film Group is responsible for film scheduling and offline promotion in theaters, and we are responsible for online and filming team promotion work.

Two "Brother and Sister Version" posters have been released on the official Weibo, as well as a video trailer with the theme of "Brother Changing".

Gu Wei nodded.

"Where is the creator now?"

"Ms. Han doesn't like to appear in public, so Peng Yuchang took Zhao Jinmai and Zhou Ming to record "Happy Camp".

According to the plan, they will participate in another episode of "Run" after the event.

Because our film is adapted from the comic book of the same name, we are planning to hold a movie viewing and sharing session at the Hangzhou National Comic Exhibition in the middle of this month.

After that, we will officially start the national road show before the release."

"Very good, our company has become more and more professional in publicity and distribution after [Love Saint]." Gu Wei smiled with satisfaction as he listened to Yang Liwen's report.

At the beginning of July, [Wei Tianxia] had a movie and a TV series released respectively.

The TV series "You Are My Glory" mainly relies on Dragon TV, Blueberry Channel and Tengxun TV for promotion. Gu Wei and Reba will also participate in some variety shows and meet-and-greets to help promote it.

The movie "Take My Brother Quickly" has become the company's main project in recent times.

After reporting this, Yang Liwen brought another stack of scripts and placed them in front of Gu Wei.

"So many again?"

"There are a few that I think are more important. I need you to take a look at them, boss. If it doesn't work, I can get back to the show in time."

Gu Wei nodded and started to look through the pages.

This is not a hard job, but Gu Wei is probably the only one in the entertainment industry who gets impatient when choosing scripts. If other actors knew about it, their eyes would be red with envy.

There is no way, the entertainment industry is like this, most of the resources are in the hands of a very small number of people, and the drought will die and the flood will die.

"What is this? What does Guo Degang think? This can also send me an invitation. Why does he think I might accept it?"

Yang Liwen glanced at the script in Gu Wei's hand. The cover said "Ancestral Nineteenth Generation".

"This is probably to ask you, boss, to make a guest appearance. I heard that Guo Degang used his connections to find more than a dozen celebrities in the industry to make guest appearances, including Lin Zhiling, Wu Jing, Wang Baoqiang, and Fan Bingbing."

Guo Degang and Deyun Society have been particularly popular in recent years. He has accumulated a lot of connections through Beijing Satellite TV. Now that he is trying to be a director for the first time, everyone is willing to give him face.

Speaking of the reason for making this movie, it is said that Lao Guo was angry with netizens.

After Guo Degang became popular, he was invited to make many movies, but they were all bad movies.

So many netizens scolded him online, saying that he didn't do cross talk well and had to make bad movies across borders.

Lao Guo is quite upright and responded publicly that he was just an actor before and he couldn't decide how the movie would turn out. Everyone would watch it when he becomes the director himself.

So there is this [Ancestral Nineteenth Generation]!

"Haha, Lao Guo's face is not of use to me. He said that the cross talk is not bad, so let's forget about making movies.

If you want to take advantage of the popularity to make money, keep a low profile. Everyone is doing it and no one says anything about him. He still has to pretend to be an artist when he makes a bad movie.

Besides, I don't even know him, so if Yu Zai invites me..." Gu Wei paused.

"Forget it, Brother Signing can't do it either. This movie is too bad, no one said it would be possible for him to act in it."

As he said that, he threw [Ancestral Nineteenth Generation] aside.

Gu Wei read a few more books.

"The more important book you are talking about is Jiang Wen's [The Evil Will Not Suppress the Right], right?"

"Although the reputation and box office of the previous film [One Step Away] were not ideal, Jiang Wen is still recognized as the most talented director in the industry.

His film "The Righteous One" is considered to be the most popular film among domestic celebrities in the first half of the year.

Director Jiang handed over the message and said that he had seen "Left Ear" before and thought that boss you have a very good figure and are very masculine, which is very suitable for the role of the male protagonist in his movie. I hope to work with you once."

Gu Wei was speechless after hearing Yang Liwen's words. It seemed that being too good was not good, even men would miss her.

Of course this is a joke.

Jiang Wen was probably talking about the scene where he appeared in "Left Ear" and played basketball with his shirtless body showing off his muscles.

Gu Wei thought about it for two seconds, shook his head slightly, and threw the script aside.

"In reply to Jiang Wen, I said that my schedule was too full and I didn't want to skip the show. I suggested hiring someone else, Gao Ming. I hope we have a suitable opportunity to work together again in the future."

"Boss, don't you think about it anymore?"

Yang Liwen didn't expect Gu Wei to reject Jiang Wen's invitation so quickly. He was the male protagonist of Jiang Wen's movie.

"I won't think about it anymore, just go back like this!" Gu Wei's attitude was very clear.

In fact, there are many reasons for him not to accept "The Evil Will Not Suppress the Right".

First of all, I really don’t have time. I have to join the group "The Wandering Earth" at the end of the month. Unless I quit the show, I would have a brain problem if I gave up "The Wandering Earth" for "The Evil Is Not Suppressing the Righteous".

The second is that Gu Wei can't think of anything that filming "The Evil Can Suppress the Right" can bring to him.

This movie originally had a box office of more than 500 million. With Gu Wei's participation, it is possible to reach a box office of 1 billion.

But the protagonist of Jiang Wen's movies is always himself. Even if Gu Wei is promised to be the male protagonist, it cannot cover up his strong presence in the movie.

Finally, Gu Wei remembered that the heroine of this film was Director Jiang's daughter-in-law Zhou Yun. She had a romantic relationship with her daughter-in-law in the film in front of the director. There seemed to be a passionate scene, which Gu Wei couldn't accept.

Now that the boss has made a decision, Yang Liwen doesn't say anything anymore.

A small stack of scripts was quickly flipped through. Among them was the movie "Animal World" jointly produced by "Ruyi Film and Television" and "Enlight Media". Gu Wei remembered that it was starring Li Yifeng. The box office reputation was average, so he was not very interested.

There is also the passionate youth fighting drama "Sweet Crit" sent by [Mango TV]. It is adapted from the Korean comic "Wild Girl". The heroine has been selected to be Guan Xiaotong.

Holding this script, Gu Wei's lips slightly raised.

I don’t know if Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong will be together in the future if I take on this drama.

"Sweet Crit" is quite famous, but not because of the popularity of the drama, but because this movie is the love story between Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong.

After thinking about it, Gu Wei dismissed the prank-like thoughts in his mind. He had a good relationship with both of them, so there was really no need to do this.
