Huayu is free to do as you like

"These are some of the scripts that I have been looking for you recently. The company has gone through several rounds of screening and some of them are of good quality." After reporting on the work, Yang Liwen took another thick stack of scripts and put them on her desk.

Gu Wei was not surprised and patiently flipped through the pages.

After screening by the team, the scripts that Gu Wei finally sees always have some merit, either because they are invested by a big company, or they are a well-known director, or the story is more attractive.

Gu Wei watched it for a while and found out that there were indeed a few film and television dramas that he remembered as having good results and popularity.

For example, "In the Name of Family" was produced by Huace and directed by Ding Ziguang.

This TV series has been popular for 20 years and has a good reputation. It tells a warm story between a special family, two fathers and three children.

The entry point and story are very good. The heroine Tan Songyun has a baby face, and it is not inconsistent at all to play a high school student at almost 30 years old.

The two father actors in the play, Tu Songyan and Zhang Xilin, also performed very well.

The only shortcoming is that the story has an anticlimactic ending, with a warm and interesting beginning, but then it turns to the old routine of a bloody love affair. Otherwise, the reputation and results of the TV series could be even better.

There is also the ancient puppet fairy drama "Liu Li" produced by Huan Rui.

Xianxia ancient dolls are prone to hit hits. Although [Liu Li] is far inferior to the previous big hits like [Sansheng III] and [Xiangmi], it can still be considered a small hit. After Li Yifeng, Huan Rui Er became popular. Brother succeeded, making him a representative figure of "late bloomers" in the entertainment industry.

Chengyi will be considered a top player in the future, but now he has not yet become famous, and he is not taken seriously in Huanrui.

After Li Yifeng's contract expired, Huanrui still praised Ren Jialun, who performed well in "The Legend of White Snake".

Gu Wei picked up the two notebooks and put them down again, shaking his head.

It's a pity that none of them are dramas that must be filmed, and they are a bit useless for him in terms of story and popularity.

When Gu Wei takes a role now, he is either preparing for a hit or the story is good and he likes it.

Films like "Si Teng" and "Donggong" were made simply because they were produced by our own company and to promote the actresses.

When he turned to the end, he thought he would find nothing as usual, but unexpectedly saw a very familiar drama.

I picked it up and looked through it carefully, confirming that it was a revolutionary drama with a historical theme.

"Has the project for [Storm Chaser] been approved?" He remembered that this was to be broadcast in 2024. Did he prepare for filming so early?

Yang Liwen, who was on the opposite side, tilted her head slightly when she heard this and thought for a moment.

"There is something wrong with this drama. Although the script was sent, it was not actually developed.

It is said that director Yao Xiaofeng wanted to film it after receiving the script last year, but he has not been able to secure investment.

When you send a script to your boss, you think that if you like the script, you can find funds in your name.

When I first screened the scripts, I originally planned to pass "Storm Chaser" because currently it is just a skinny drama with nothing but the script.

But I kept it after reading the content of the script. The story was really well written.

The only doubt is that director Yao Xiaofeng is good at shooting urban emotional dramas. This kind of historical drama with a revolutionary theme has never been filmed before, and I don’t know if it can be done well."

Hearing what Yang Liwen said, some deeply buried memories in Gu Wei's mind slowly emerged. He seemed to have seen relevant news.

As Yang Liwen said, "Storm Chaser" has been on hold since the script came out in 2018 because no one invested money.

It wasn't until 2023 that Wang Yibo, the top actor at the time, took over the role of the male protagonist "Wei Ruolai", so the project was quickly established and the funds were quickly received.

"Contact Yao Xiaofeng. I'm very interested in this script. We [Wei Mingxia] can vote for [Wind Chaser]." Gu Wei paused after finishing speaking. "But the start-up time may have to be pushed back. I will It’s hard to find time, but I’ll most likely have to wait until next year.”

"Understood, I will contact Director Yao later. With this good news, I believe time will not be a problem for him!"

Yang Liwen nodded in response.

"One more thing, boss~

Previously, you ordered to contact Wanwan director Qian Renhao and buy the copyright of the "Lawless" script from him. It has been done.

However, Director Qian recommended that he would direct the film himself.”

After she finished speaking, Gu Wei waved his hand directly.

"Just buy the script. Just find any excuse to refuse Qian Renhao."

Not many people may know "Lawless", but the name "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Pests" is very familiar to many people.

It’s quite interesting to say.

Qian Renhao began to conceive the story of "Lawless" in 2015 and write the script until the script was completed in 2017.

And he and Huang Jingpu, the director of "The Three Evils", have known each other for 20 years. At some directors' gatherings, he told Huang about his script several times.

Qian Renhao didn't expect that Huang Jingpu would become interested after hearing his story. After returning home, he plagiarized the story he told and polished and enriched it into a brand new story, adding a lot of details and polishing it to be very mature and complete. , and then filmed it, which later became the very popular "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils".

After "Zhou Chu Removes Three Evils" was released in 2023, Qian Renhao realized that his script had been plagiarized, so he filed a complaint and took the other party to court.

In March 2024, the Taipei Court ruled that the director Qian Renhao claimed that "Zhou Chu Chu Three Evils" plagiarized his script "Lawless" and the evidence was credible, and agreed to seal up the "Zhou Chu Chu Three Evils" film company "An Attitude", and followed Director Huang Jingpu owns all the box office and assets in his name.

The final verdict has not yet come down, but all kinds of evidence show that "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" is indeed not Huang Jingpu's original creation.

Gu Wei likes this movie very much and plans to make it.

However, he was aware of the twists and turns of the movie script copyright, and was not short of money, so he asked the people in the company to find money to buy the original script of "Lawless".

Qian Zaiwanwan was just a third-rate director, and it was normal for Gu Wei to sell the script due to Gu Wei's "money skills".

"The story of [Lawless] is relatively rough. I will polish it a bit later. When it is ready, I will consider which director to film it."

Gu Wei thought for a while and said, "It's not too late to start preparing for this movie when I get back from filming [Tang Detective 3]. I plan to start filming after [Qing Yu Nian]."

On April 2, [Si Teng], which has been online for nearly a month, updated the last two episodes that night.

This fantasy love web drama starring Gu Wei and Jing Tian and directed by Li Muge has been the most popular online drama for 24 consecutive days since its launch.

On lists such as [Delta TV Series Boom Index], [Guduo Data Popularity List], [Lighthouse Data Ranking], [Yunhe Data] and other lists that are commonly referred to now, [Si Teng] has topped the list every day since its launch. The popularity is unprecedented.

As of the day of the finale, [Si Teng]’s views on the three platforms have exceeded 2 billion, and the total views have reached 7.53 billion.

It has become the most played TV series on the entire network since the beginning of 2019.

"Everything Is Very Good", which is a hit on satellite TV, has an online broadcast volume of just over 5 billion, which is even worse than "Si Teng".

However, the results of the two TV series are both high. Among other TV series broadcast in the same time period, the best-performing online broadcast volume is only more than one billion, and the popularity is also very different from these two dramas.

[Si Teng] is a hit, and the one who has gained the most is of course Jingtian.

Throughout March, Da Tiantian was the most discussed female artist on the Internet. Not only did she gain a large number of fans, she also ranked behind Gu Wei on the [Artist New Media Index] list compiled by Vlinkage. Second place.

Gu Wei’s ranking at the top of the list is not simply due to the popularity of [Siteng]. He has maintained high exposure and high discussion since the hit of [The Wandering Earth] at the beginning of the year. Moreover, Gu Wei himself has a very large number of fans and is also popular among passers-by. Well, this time it has been dominating the list for two consecutive months.

However, Jingtian’s inclusion on the list is purely due to [Si Teng].

Before [Si Teng] aired, she couldn't even make it into the top ten.

It rushed to second place within two days after it aired, and overthrew Yao Chen, who had become very popular thanks to "Everything Is Pretty Good".

On the second day of the finale, under the organization of the video platform, the main creative staff of the TV series such as Gu Wei and Jing Tian gathered together and held a small celebration banquet to celebrate the success of the broadcast of "Si Teng".

"Mr. Gu, thank you for giving me this opportunity to direct [Si Teng]!

I also want to thank Tiantian for her wonderful performance in the drama.

I won’t say more, I’ll do it, you two can do whatever you want! "

Li Muge, who looked fair and wore glasses and looked very polite, was very excited at the banquet. Soon after the banquet started, he toasted to the boss Gu Wei.

He has been unknown since he graduated from Peking University and turned to directing. Now his movie "Si Teng" has made him famous and completely popular.

Watching Li Muge raise his head and drink the wine in his glass, Gu Wei also smiled and drank with him.

"Director Li is a talented person. With such a general under Mr. Gu, I won't have to worry about not being able to produce good works in the future."

Mr. Sun from Tengxun Video was also present at today’s celebration banquet to congratulate.

The victory of [Si Teng] is also the victory of Tengxun. The online broadcast rights of this web drama are in the hands of Tengxun, and it will continue to create benefits for Tengxun Video in the future.

“It’s a pity that Mr. Gu’s movie [Donggong] could not continue to cooperate with Tengxun.

Director Li's "Si Teng" was so successful, I believe that the subsequent film "East Palace" will be equally wonderful.

What a shame! "Sun Zhonghuai said with a pity look on his face.

[Si Teng] was shot early, and the online rights were sold to Tengxun Video, but [Donggong] was finally bought by Youku in the bidding at the beginning of the year.

To be honest, among the three major video platforms, [Wei Tianxia] has the best relationship with Tengxun, but not all works are sold to each other.

Many have been bought by Youku and iQiyi.

Gu Wei also subconsciously avoids binding his company to a certain platform.

As the highest-quality content exporter, as long as he can continue to produce high-quality dramas and not completely fall to one party, the three companies will have to support him and actively build a good relationship with him.

"Mr. Sun, there is no need to regret. The future is long and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

In the second half of the year, I plan to start a TV series with a male protagonist, in which I will star.

When the TV series is produced, if Mr. Sun is interested, we can discuss the issue of broadcast rights." What Gu Wei said was [Qing Yu Nian].

"It's settled, I have 100% trust in Mr. Gu's dramas, they will definitely be hits.

You will inform me as soon as possible when the time comes." Mr. Sun said seriously.

The atmosphere at the celebration banquet was very good. The boss, Gu Wei, had finished toasting with the crew and the main creators, and then drank a lot with Mr. Sun, who was responsible for the video platform.

When the show finally ended, he was already a little dizzy.

Jingtian was not drunk. Although she drank a little, she only drank a little. As a girl, no one urged her to drink.

Holding Gu Wei's arm, the two took the elevator to the hotel room.

"Drink so much. We have a live interview tomorrow."

After the two entered the room, Jingtian helped Gu Wei to the bed in the bedroom.

"Lie down for a while. I'll make you a cup of honey water."

After Gu Wei sat down, he grabbed the other's arm and pulled Da Tiantian into his arms.

"What are you doing? Stop making trouble."

Jingtian was wearing a black lace dress tonight, which was a bit similar to the style of cheongsam, showing her beautiful figure to the fullest.

After sitting in Gu Wei's arms, she twisted her body gently. The convex and concave figure rubbed against the thin clothes, which made Gu Wei, who had already drunk, instantly angry.

He looked at Jingtian's fair and beautiful face, and his hands went around the waist and unfastened the zipper and buttons on the back in two or three times.

Then with a gentle tug, the long skirt slipped off Da Tiantian, revealing her ivory-smooth and delicate skin.

Her beautiful collarbone was plump and upright, and the two breast stickers made her look even more seductive.

Her waist contracted rapidly, and her water-drop-like belly button looked very cute in the middle of her milky white skin.

The extreme waist-to-hip ratio and the towering bust made Jingtian's figure form an amazing big S shape.

The sexy figure but a somewhat cute face, the sharp contrast made Da Tiantian full of indescribable temptation.

Gu Wei had mastered the art of undressing.

In less than half a minute, the two of them were frank.

"No, there's a smell of alcohol on your body, go to the bathroom to wash first." Da Tiantian's pretty face was flushed, and she said no, but her voice was as thin as a mosquito.

A pair of small hands were placed on Gu Wei's solid chest, and she couldn't help but stroke it back and forth a few times.

It is said that men are lustful, but once a woman meets a man like Gu Wei who has a top-notch appearance and figure, her desire will be even greater.

It was not the first time that Jing Tian slept with Gu Wei, but every time she was with him, she could not let go of his beautiful figure.

"Don't bother so much, you will sweat in a while anyway, just wash together later"

He had already pressed Da Tiantian under him and kissed her.

The next morning, Gu Wei took Jing Tian to Tengxun Video for a live interview, which was a previously scheduled activity.

When the time came, the live broadcast room opened and countless netizens poured into the live broadcast room.

Gu Wei and Jing Tian sat on a sofa, facing the camera.

The number of people in the live broadcast room on the opposite screen rose rapidly within a minute.

"So many people came so quickly, are you not going to work today?"

Gu Wei said with a smile.

[Secretly using a mobile phone to watch my brother's live broadcast in class~]

[In the toilet, taking a paid shit! ]

[I asked for leave just to watch you two live broadcast.]

[I love you yyds! 】

【.】

As soon as Gu Wei finished speaking, the messages in the live broadcast room instantly filled the screen.

"Netizens in the company hope that you will not be discovered by the boss. You still have to work hard during the day and can go back to watch the live video at night. There is no difference."

Gu Wei said with a smile, and then officially started today's live broadcast activity under the prompting of the staff opposite.

"Hello everyone, I am Gu Wei, playing Qin Fang in [Si Teng]~"

"Hello everyone, I am Jing Tian, ​​playing Si Teng in [Si Teng]"

The two of them briefly introduced themselves, and today's live interview officially began.
