After Yang Liwen finished speaking, the heads of relevant departments also expressed their opinions. Gu Wei glanced at Zhao Mingcheng beside him.

Zhao Mingcheng understood, coughed lightly and began to speak.

"Next, let me talk about several major projects of the company in film and television production this year.

At present, the company has already decided on three TV series and one movie this year.

"Si Teng" will start shooting in Yunnan at the end of this month, "The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation" is in preparation, "Eastern Palace" is scheduled to start shooting in the second half of the year, and "The Accidental Manslaughter" that we bought the Indian copyright for.

There is nothing much to say about "Si Teng". Director Li Muge took over this project early, and relevant personnel have already gone to Yunnan one after another.

The script of "The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation" has been adapted, and the company is still Find a suitable director.

According to the previous plan and the negotiation with Director Li Muge, [Eastern Palace] will also be handed over to him for guidance, so it will not start until [Si Teng] is completed.

However, this drama is also the most convenient, and the team of [Si Teng] can be used directly at that time.

For [Accidental Manslaughter], Director Wen Muye has already taken over this drama, and is currently communicating with the screenwriter department about the script, and will also start the preparation work for casting in the near future. "

In addition to talking to the people under the production company, Zhao Mingcheng also made a detailed report to the boss Gu Wei.

When each project was reported to him before, it was all here and there, this one was revising the script, and that one reached the casting stage. Now the overall system is explained, which also makes Gu Wei clear about the specific progress of all projects.

"Contact Director Zheng Weiwen Zheng, and try to let him take over the [Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation] project." Gu Wei directly explained after listening to Zhao Mingcheng's report.

Zheng Weiwen is a Hong Kong director who came to the mainland more than ten years ago and has a good relationship with Lin Yufen and Wu Jinyuan.

At first, he worked with Tangren. He directed TV series such as The Legend of Sword and Fairy: Yunfan, The Legend of the Female Doctor, and The Legend of Qin.

Tangren's hit TV series Startling by Each Step was co-directed by Li Guoli, Lin Yufen, and Wu Jinyuan.

After the movie became popular, Tangren filmed another Startling by Each Step. At that time, Wu Jinyuan had other projects, so he called Zheng Weiwen, Lin Yufen, and Li Guoli to co-direct.

Director Zheng was also the director of the original time and space The Untamed. Only by keeping the original flavor can we ensure that there will be no accidents in the TV series.

"Also, I've read the script of [The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation], and asked the screenwriter department to make some minor changes. The core of the gay drama cannot be changed, but the emotions in it should be more obscure.

In China, this kind of drama needs to be paid more attention to, and it will face the risk of rectification and removal if you are not careful.

Also, Mr. Yang, you should communicate with Tengxun Video and bring them in to work together. I think Tengxun will be interested."

Dangai dramas are 100% not allowed to be broadcast on TV, and can only be broadcast online.

In order to avoid accidents when the TV series are broadcast in the future, it is still necessary to bring a platform.

And Tengxun Video is currently the company's best partner, and many of their online dramas also have [Weiming Tianxia]'s investment in them.

"Understood, Mr. Gu."

Zhao Mingcheng and Yang Liwen agreed at the same time.

Gu Wei tapped his fingers on the table and thought about it.

"[The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation] was renamed [The Untamed], and it's not good to have the word "demon dharma" in the original novel.

The male lead "Wei Wuxian" will be played by Xiao Zhan of [Wajijiwa], and other roles will be decided later. It's best to use our own people for the other male lead."

Gu Wei is very clear about how popular [The Untamed] can be. Bo Jun Yi Xiao, the two future top stars, will have high development in the film and television industry, and their ability to make money is definitely the best among domestic entertainment stars.

According to official data, after [The Untamed] became a big hit, Wang Yibao brought a total revenue of 1.083 billion yuan to Lehua Entertainment in the three years from 2019 to 2022.

In the year from 2021 to 2022, he created a revenue of 639 million yuan for Lehua.

Although Wang Yibao's development in the film industry was better than Xiao Zhan in the later period, he was actually a little worse than Xiao Zhan in terms of popularity, popularity and endorsements.

How could Gu Wei give this opportunity to cultivate a cash cow to outsiders?

In the afternoon, after finishing work, Gu Wei came out of the company early and got in the car to a private restaurant located within the second ring road.

After entering the room, he followed the waiter to the reserved box and pushed open the door.

"Gu Wei, you are the last to arrive, so you will have to drink three glasses of wine later!"

Yang Zi, Zhang Yishan, and Li Xian were all in the room. Seeing Gu Wei coming in, Yang Zi shouted loudly.

"Gu Wei is here, we are all here."

"Brother Wei~"

"."

Several people greeted Gu Wei who had just entered the room, and Zhou Ye and Peng Yuchang, who were sitting at the edge, also greeted Gu Wei with a smile.

"Sorry, I have work to do at the company and arrived a little late."

"It's okay, we will finish drinking later." Zhang Yishan also made a noise.

Gu Wei sat down next to Yang Zi and said proudly: "No problem, this is all a small matter"

"It's over, if Gu Wei really lets go and drinks with you, no one will think of leaving today" Li Xian said with a smile.

"Well, it was Yang Zi who first said to punish himself with three cups. I feel that it doesn't matter whether he is punished or not, it's just a gesture." After Li Xian finished speaking, Zhang Yishan also thought of Gu Wei's alcohol tolerance and immediately backed off.

His main point is that as long as I admit my mistakes quickly, I won't be hurt.

"Tch~ I despise you!" Yang Zi expressed disdain for his behavior.

Gu Wei and Yang Zi returned to the capital after promoting the new drama. It happened that everyone else had time, so they all made an appointment to come out and get together.

"I would like to mention one thing. We are very happy to gather together again. Congratulations to Yishan for the hit TV series and for Gu Wei and Yang Zi's new series to be a hit!"

Everyone joked for a while, and Li Xian was the first to raise his glass.

Zhang Yishan launched the TV series "Seven Me" at the beginning of the year. The online broadcast data exceeded 3 billion, and the results were quite good.

Not to mention Gu Wei and Yang Zi, [Love Love Love]’s current popularity is unmatched by anyone, and its influence is beyond the circle. It is the most advantageous competitor for this year’s drama king.

"cheers!"

"cheers."

Everyone raised their glasses and took a sip happily.

The four boys drank beer, while Yang Zi and Zhou Ming drank juice.

Several people were old friends for many years, and they were not particular about anything. After everyone gathered, they started eating, drinking and having fun.

"Yang Zi is so arrogant now. It's so popular recently. [Dear Love] is a hot search on the Internet every day. The number of fans is growing so fast."

"It's not just because I performed well, it's normal for the audience to like it. It's a basic operation, so don't mind it." Yang Zi accepted Zhang Yishan's praise in full.

"[Dear Beloved] I watched it, and it was indeed a very good shot. I also read many comments from fans on the Internet, and many people praised Yang Zi for being a great beauty."

Yang Zi, who was originally very proud, reacted when he heard this. He pinched his waist and turned to look at Zhang Yishan, his eyes widening.

"What's wrong with the beautiful woman? Am I not a beautiful woman? The beautiful woman has eaten your rice."

"Yes, yes, you're not good enough, I didn't say you weren't."

Zhang Yishan was as timid as ever.

"Yang Zi has completely gotten rid of the child star label this time. With the popularity of "Dear Love", it can completely replace "Family with Children" as your masterpiece.

A drama becomes a hit, this is what many celebrities expect." Li Xian took a piece of ribs and took a bite, watching the two bickering.

"Well, our purple sister is destined to be a big hit this year!" Gu Wei agreed from the side.

"Not only [Dear Beloved], but also the fairy tale drama [Sweet Honey as Ashes as Frost] that you two collaborated on in Li County is also expected to be broadcast this summer. The company is currently negotiating with several platforms on this matter. I’ll let you know when it’s finalized.”

"Really? I was thinking before that it has been more than a year since the filming of [Xiangmi] was completed, and there has been no movement." Li County was also very surprised when he heard what Gu Wei said. He is the male protagonist of "Xiangmi" and is very popular. I know the quality of this film and I am looking forward to the effect after it is broadcast.

"[Xiangmi] is also going to be aired, and I also have [Tianji: The Legend of the White Snake] scheduled to be aired in the summer. Won't the two dramas be colliding by then?" Yang Zi blinked and looked at Gu Wei.

"Don't worry, I also know about your [Legend of White Snake]. Although the two dramas are both on summer release, the schedules will be staggered.

Moreover, "Xiangmi" is a star drama and will be broadcast simultaneously on the satellite TV network. "White Snake Legend" is not a star drama and is only broadcast on iQiyi. Therefore, not only will there be no impact, but the two dramas will also promote each other. function." Gu Wei explained.

"Sister Zi will definitely be a big hit this year.

No, it should be said that it has become very popular now." Zhou Ming looked at Yang Zi with a look of envy.

Others also praised and congratulated him, which made Yang Zi, who had always been carefree, a little embarrassed.

"Xiao Ming, did your agent tell you about filming [Young You]?" After everyone chatted for a while, Gu Wei turned to the quiet Zhou Ming.

"Yeah, you told me.

Recently, I have been studying the script and wondering how to play "Wei Lai" in it.

To be honest, Brother Wei, this is my first time playing a villain and a villain, so I don’t feel comfortable with it." Zhou Ming looked a little embarrassed.

Her first film in the industry was "Take My Brother Away" with Peng Yuchang and Zhao Jinmai. She played a lively and cute middle school student. It was basically her true character and there was no difficulty.

After signing the contract for "Wei Ming Xia", I thought that I would play the leading role immediately, at least it would be a positive role, but I didn't expect that she would be a villain.

Gu Wei looked at Zhou Ming's pretty little face and saw through her thoughts at a glance.

“Don’t underestimate the villain, sometimes the villain will leave a deeper impression on the audience if he is well acted.

And many villains have more room for performance than the heroes.

Of course, I'm not saying that you will always play a villain in the future, but this role is more suitable for your image, and the opportunity is rare."

When Gu Wei said this, Zhou Ming felt even sadder.

"Do I look like a villain?"

"Well" Gu Wei saw that he had misunderstood the little girl and hurriedly explained.

"That's not the case. The main thing is your beauty and facial features. The outline of your facial features is very three-dimensional, which is more in line with the image of a beautiful rich girl in the drama. When you are not smiling, you have a cold temperament, and you can play the role of a villain."

"Pfft" Gu Wei's explanation made Zhou laugh.

What made her happy was not the content of Gu Wei's explanation, but the way he valued her.

"I understand, boss, the company has given me such an important opportunity, and I will definitely work hard to perform well.

It just so happens that I am in school now. During this period before joining the group, I can ask more teachers for advice and think about the characters carefully.

You won't be disappointed! "

Zhou Ming's fair little face smiled like a flower, with a clean and fresh temperament. He looked at Gu Wei with his big eyes and clenched his little fists to promise him.

"Come on, just work hard, I believe in you."

Gu Wei raised his glass and touched it with Zhou Meng to encourage him.
