Zhao Mingcheng completed the entry procedures and officially became the general manager of [Wei Mingxia Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd.].

The film and television company is still an empty shell. The first thing Zhao Mingcheng did when he took office was to recruit people and build the company's structure as soon as possible.

With Yang Liwen's help, he quickly became familiar with the company's personnel and processes.

"Mr. Zhao, in addition to recruiting, your main job now is to help Producer Chen coordinate the filming of "Detective Chinatown".

This project is currently the only and most important project of the company. You continue to recruit people in China, and I will take the crew to Thailand for filming.

I believe that through this shooting, our company's team will also be run-in and tempered. The filming of this movie is over and we will have more scenes to shoot in the future.

You also need to review your previous relationship with the TV station. In the future, the company will not only produce movies but also TV series, and the relationship with the TV station cannot be bad. "Gu Wei assigned tasks to the newly appointed Zhao Mingcheng.

"Understood, Mr. Gu, these are my old professions and I am very familiar with them."

In the next few days, Gu Wei handled some matters in the company that required his approval and got familiar with the crew.

There are mainly three assistant directors. The first assistant director was recommended by China Film Group, Director Huang Dezhong, who is in his 40s, slightly chubby, wears glasses, and has a smile on his face.

Director Huang is an old director. He graduated from Chinese Opera. He worked as a scriptwriter and worked his way up to the director's position step by step.

I have been working in movies for more than 20 years and have shot many films, but unfortunately, I have basically played the role of assistant director.

It is said that 10 years ago, he also directed a movie independently. China Film, recognizing his years of hard work and believing in his professional ability as a director, invested money in him.

Then China Film lost all its money, and Director Huang's 10 years of accumulated enthusiasm also disappeared with the failure of this movie.

From now on, I will follow the company's arrangements and work as an assistant director on various production crews. I am a brick in the company and can be moved wherever needed.

Although he didn't do well in making his own movies, Director Huang's more than 20 years of shooting experience is nothing to brag about.

He can make clear arrangements for you up and down the crew.

"Director Huang, this is not the first time we have met. We have met before when I went to China Film Academy. I am very happy to work with you this time.

Later, Director Huang would need a lot of help during filming. "Gu Wei said very politely.

"No, Mr. Gu, you are killing me. I am just a part-time worker. Director Han arranged for me to come here to work for you, Mr. Gu. If Mr. Gu has any instructions, just tell him. Lao Huang will definitely do his best." Director Huang said with a smile. .

Director Huang's attitude was very low-key, and Gu Wei knew it. They had known each other since Lu Yang was editing a film at China Film Studio.

He knew that this person was a wealthy owner and had a cooperative relationship with China Film Group Corporation. He had invested in "Xiu Chun Dao" before, and now he was in control of this comedy blockbuster.

Before coming here, Han Sanping had already made it very clear that when he came to help with the filming of the movie, Gu Wei would be the main priority.

He also understood what Director Han meant. Gu Wei was the director and investor, and the crew were all his employees. Even if Gu Wei doesn't know how to direct, he can only help and support when the time comes.

If there is a conflict, someone can kick him back. There are many directors like him in China Film and Television who have experience but no works. If there is a problem, China Film Group will not stand up for him.

Huang Dezhong is no longer an energetic young man in his 20s. He can still figure out where he is and what attitude he should have.

Moreover, the crew also has Lu Yang as the producer. If there are any problems during the filming, Lu Yang can be asked to talk to them. They have a closer relationship and can talk more easily.

The remaining two assistant directors were all seniors who had graduated from the directing department of the college. To be precise, they were Lu Yang's seniors. Unfortunately, they did not have the same good fate as Lu Yang.

One is named Li Xin and the other is named Zhao Liang. Before coming to Guwei Company, they worked as executive deputy directors or acting assistant directors in some small production groups in Hengdian.

Although I have no independent directing experience, I still have a lot of theoretical knowledge and shooting experience.

Director Huang is the first assistant director in the crew and is mainly responsible for executing the director's creative intentions, responsible for the normal operation of the set, and ensuring the smooth execution of filming.

As the second and third assistant directors, Li Xin and Zhao Liang need to follow Director Huang's arrangements to ensure that the entire [shooting scene] can run smoothly and that the director's creative intentions can be fully executed and implemented.

It can be said that the director group composed of the three of them is the largest manager in the crew besides the producer, supervisor, and director.

In the private room of a private restaurant at night.

Gu Wei and Zeng Li sat opposite each other. The dishes were all served and they also ordered a bottle of plum wine.

When they were at home, Gu Wei said that he wanted to treat Zeng Li to dinner, so naturally he couldn't ignore his words. I made an appointment with her as soon as I returned to the capital.

Zeng Li has worked in the capital for so many years and has settled here. He went back to his hometown during the Chinese New Year and came back soon.

"Sister Li, are you a vegetarian?"

Gu Wei discovered the last time she ate that the dishes Zeng Li ordered were all vegetarian, and she didn't touch the meat dishes on the table.

"Well, it's been about 7 or 8 years.

It started because of work. As an actress, you also know that you need to maintain your figure to look good on camera.

I gradually got used to it, and now that a plate of braised pork is placed in front of me, I no longer have the desire to eat. "

Taking a bite of green vegetables, Zeng Li slowly explained.

"No wonder, but Sister Li, I think you have maintained your figure and appearance very well. Now you look like a mature woman, but also have the appearance of a girl." Gu Wei praised.

"What kind of girl are you? She said that I'm not much more than an old lady." Even though he said that, Zeng Li still had a smile on his face when he heard Gu Wei's praise.

The two of them chatted and drank, and time passed quickly.

"Sister Li, have you watched the recently released "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"?" Gu Wei asked

"I heard that this movie was released on the first day of the new year. It has been very popular recently. It's a pity that I haven't got around to watching it yet."

Zeng Li said with some regret.

"I like Zhou Xingchi very much, especially his previous film [Kung Fu]. It's not too late. Let's go watch a movie together later." Gu Wei invited.

Gu Wei didn't have any thoughts about Zeng Li at this time, but he was alone now, and Nazha was not in the capital. It was also a very pleasant thing to have dinner and watch a movie with a beautiful woman.

"Hmm~, okay." Zeng Li hesitated for a moment, glanced at Gu Wei, and agreed.

After eating, the two of them went to the nearby Wanda Cinema. Gu Wei bought the tickets and took Zeng Li with him, and they walked into the theater side by side.

[Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons] is a classic Zhou Xingchi movie. Although he did not participate in it, his strong self-style can be seen in the movie.

This is still Zhou Xingchi's most glorious period as a director.

The generation that watched his movies when they were young has grown up. When they were young, these viewers watched Zhou Xingchi's free movies on TV or DVD.

Now that I have grown up and have money, I can naturally afford to go to the cinema to support him.

In addition, the movie is really well shot, both the plot and the lines have merit.

The best thing is the special effects, which continue the special effects style in "Kung Fu", but the style of the movie is darker, which makes the audience very enjoyable to watch.

"Sister Li, what do you think of the movie?" Gu Wei asked as he and Zeng Li walked out after the movie.

"The movie is wonderful, the story and special effects are great." Then she hesitated.

"It's just a little scary in places."

After hearing this, Gu Wei smiled and said, "Sister Li, your comment is very pertinent. Zhou Xingchi made an excellent movie, and the audience liked it very much. You can tell it from the number of seats in the hall where we watch the movie."

There is an attendance rate of over 60%. You must know that it is already late, and the fact that there is such a high attendance rate is enough to prove the popularity of this movie.

But as you said, this movie is different from the traditional "Journey to the West". The three brothers, Sun Wukong, were made into completely bloody and cruel monsters, and the picture has a greater impact.

This Chinese New Year movie is not suitable for children.

If there is anything that will affect the box office in the later stages of this movie, it should be this.

After all, during the Chinese New Year, many families like to go out and watch movies together as a family. Zhou Xingchi's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" may scare children to tears. "

Listening to Gu Wei's sane analysis, Zeng Li couldn't help but look at him with more admiration.

After watching the movie, Gu Wei asked the driver Master Zhang to take Zeng Li home first.

"Sister Li, the crew will hold a press conference for the new film in a few days, and then the filming will start. See you then."

When the car drove to the downstairs of Zeng Li's house, Gu Wei waved goodbye to her.

"Goodbye, Gu Wei."

Zeng Li smiled and waved to him, then turned and walked home.

Zeng Li had a good impression of Gu Wei. He felt that this child was young, handsome and talented, and they were very easy to talk to when they chatted together. He would not put any pressure on her because of his status as a director or investor.

There were many shining points about Gu Wei that moved her heart, but he was too young. Gu Wei was only 21 years old, one and a half years younger than her.

When she started filming, Gu Wei had just entered elementary school. She could only regard Gu Wei as a little brother with whom she was easy to talk.
