Huayu is free to do as you like

After the plane landed in Beijing, Zhou Ye, who had slept for nearly three hours, regained his usual energy.

Following Gu Wei down from the private plane, the two walked out of the airport through the security passage surrounded by team members.

Affected by the epidemic, the Beijing International Airport at this time was obviously less crowded than before, and everyone was wearing masks.

Gu Wei, Zhou Ye and his party did not attract anyone's attention at all.

After leaving the airport, the two got on the black Mercedes-Benz car that came to pick them up.

In the car, Zhou Ye hugged Gu Wei's arm and seized every second to stick with him.

"Can I come to see you in the evening?"

Gu Wei touched Zhou Ye's head.

"Are you going home or back to school?"

"Go home~"

"Then go back and rest first, and contact me later"

Zhou Ye looked up at Gu Wei and nodded obediently.

"Are you going to work today?"

"I should go to the company later, and there are some work that I need to deal with"

After sending Zhou Ye home, Gu Wei came to the company.

He did have a lot of things to do.

Gu Wei has many companies under his name. Under the banner of [Wei Ming Tian Xia], there are three companies, namely, film and television companies, brokerage companies, and animation production companies. In addition, there is [Wuyou Media], which has now developed into the largest MCN company in the industry.

Although several companies have dedicated managers to manage them, they will operate normally even without the intervention of the boss Gu Wei.

But Gu Wei is not a hands-off boss. Even when he is filming on the crew, he will take time to understand and care about the operation of the company and the progress of each project.

Sometimes he will also make his own requests for some things.

Among them, the film and television companies are the ones he intervenes the most. Most of the projects are proposed by him. For other companies, he basically only grasps the general direction.

It is also Gu Wei's intention to have several companies work in the same building.

Working together geographically can enhance the sense of identity between employees of different companies.

Even if Gu Wei does not interfere with the management of the company, as long as he occasionally shows up, the employees know who their boss is. In addition, with independent financial and supervisory departments, the companies will not be out of his control.

After returning to the company, Gu Wei walked around upstairs and downstairs, showed his face in front of all the employees, and then held a small meeting with the executives.

The main purpose was to understand the current status of the employees in the company and the progress of major projects.

"With the current environment, the first thing we need to do is to cooperate with the government's policies.

Of course, the company's work cannot be delayed, and some employees who are not convenient can work from home when necessary.

The industry is difficult now, but there is no need to worry too much. Our company's operation and revenue have always been very good, and even the current film and television winter will not have much impact.

The difficulties will pass sooner or later, and it will definitely get better and better in the future."

After holding a meeting to cheer up the executives and deciding the general direction of the company for a period of time in the future, Gu Wei returned to the office.

"Mr. Gu~"

Not long after sitting down, director Li Xin knocked on the door and came in.

"Sit down"

Gu Wei looked up and said.

Li Xin is one of the directors who signed up for the company when [Weiming Tianxia] was just established. He has been serving as an assistant director or executive director in various crews opened by the company. He is the type of person with limited talent but skilled business.

"Mr. Yang has given you the script, right?" Gu Wei asked.

"He has, and he has made it clear to me that Mr. Gu has limited time, so the company decided to let me take charge of the preparatory work for [A UFO Falls from the Sky]"

Gu Wei nodded.

"This play is a small unit in the movie [My Hometown and Me], with a total length of about 20 minutes.

According to the script, it can be filmed in ten days or half a month.

The workload of filming is not large, but the pre-casting preparation, site selection and construction of the filming venue will take a little effort, and you will be responsible for this."

"Mr. Gu, don't worry, these tasks are not difficult for me, and one or two months of preparation time is enough.

However, you see about the role."

The preparation of the movie is nothing more than personnel and venue.

The filming staff [Weiming Tianxia] has ready-made.

As for the venue, according to the script, we need to choose a village with good scenery in the mountains of Guizhou, which is at most a little troublesome, but not difficult.

Only the casting of actors, because the actual director is the boss Gu Wei, Li Xin dare not make the decision on his own.

Gu Wei thought for a moment.

"The main roles of this short story should still be played by actors from Detective Chinatown.

Baoqiang and I are naturally Old Tang and Xiao Qin, Huang Dabao will be played by Huang Bo, the village chief will be played by Xiao Yang, and the businessman will be played by Wang Xun."

The people Gu Wei chose were all those with whom he had a good relationship and had worked before. He called several people after deciding on the roles.

"Brother Bo~"

"Gu Wei? It's rare for you to call me!"

"Haha, I want you to act in a movie, Brother Bo, will you come?" Gu Wei got straight to the point without any hesitation.

"No problem, when will it start shooting?"

Huang Bo's straightforwardness surprised Gu Wei.

"You didn't even ask what the play was and what role you were asked to play?"

"You called me in person, with our relationship, do I need to ask anything else? I haven't been in the group recently, so I'll play any role!"

Huang Bo has a high EQ, and this makes people feel comfortable.

Gu Wei laughed, and then told Huang Bo in detail about "My Hometown and Me" and the unit play "A UFO Falls from the Sky" that asked him to act.

"It's a good story, Huang Dabao. When you wrote the script, you wanted me to act in it, right?"

"Haha, that's right, it's a character written in your image.

The movie will start shooting around May, and I will ask people from the company to contact your team."

After chatting with Huang Bo for a while, Gu Wei hung up the phone and called Wang Baoqiang again.

After hearing what Gu Wei said, Baoqiang agreed without hesitation.

He has a much closer relationship with Gu Wei than Huang Bo. This is not just a courtesy but the two of them have actually experienced many things together.

From the first time the two collaborated on the first part of "Tang Detective" in 2013, to when Bao Qiang's marriage ran into problems, Gu Wei lent a helping hand.

In Wang Baoqiang's view, Gu Wei is a good brother who is kind to him.

"What have you been busy with lately?

There is no work released and there is no news in the media that you have joined the group to film."

After talking about business and chatting for a while, Gu Wei asked.

"Alas~

After [Havoc in Tianzhu], my reputation dropped drastically, and I even won the Golden Broom Award.

After receiving the award, I thought about making a good film in the future.

I have been preparing for a new movie this year, and I am still in the stage of polishing the script, and I don’t know when I can start shooting.”

"You are ambitious. It seems that you really want to make a career as a director, unlike others who just cross-border entertainment and make quick money."

Gu Wei still admires Wang Baoqiang. Among the top stars in the entertainment industry, he is probably the only one who is truly grassroots.

When Wang Baoqiang was a child, his family was poor. Because he liked kung fu, his family sent him to the Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts.

When he grew up, he went to Beijing alone to work as an extra, and became famous with his role as "Shagen".

To be honest, Wang Baoqiang was considered a special type of actor when he first became popular, and could only play one type of role. There are many such actors in the entertainment industry, and most of them are clowns, with limited room for development.

But Wang Baoqiang changed the audience's impression of him as "silly" by relying on his acting skills.

[Soldier Assault], [People on the Road], [Destined by Heaven], [Hello Mr. Tree], [One Man's Martial Arts], etc. The roles in different dramas are very different, but he can all play them vividly and impress the audience. Contributed actor-level acting skills.

Wang Baoqiang is a group performer and has not gone through systematic study, but his acting skills are terrifying, surpassing most actors in the entertainment industry.

In addition to his career, as a top star, he is extremely clean on a moral level. His wife cheated on him with his manager, his bed partner, and the people closest to him in his career all turned against each other at the same time, and no one could find anything dirty about him.

"Havoc in Tianzhu" is the first movie directed by Wang Baoqiang, and it is indeed a bad movie.

He won the 9th Golden Broomstick Award for Most Disappointing Director for this film.

What is surprising is that Wang Baoqiang came to receive the award in person. He was also the first A-list star to accept the award on stage in the 9 years since the Golden Broom Awards was established.

Having both the courage to bow his head and admit his mistakes and the courage to come back again with his head held high are the most precious qualities of Baoqiang.

In contrast, director Kai Ge was scolded after filming "The Promise", but he insisted that no one would understand it within ten years. He was too unpopular with the audience.

"What genre is the new movie?"

"It is an inspirational story about fighting, and it is still in the stage of polishing the script."

Gu Wei thought about it for a moment, and it should be the later movie [In the Octagonal Cage].

Bao Qiang is also really awesome. He made a bad movie and then worked on it for six years to bring a good movie to the audience.

"Whether it's funds or personnel, if you need help with anything, just ask, no need to be polite to me."

Wang Baoqiang was very moved after hearing Gu Wei's words.

Having known Gu Wei for so many years, he had helped him several times in difficult times. He was a truly noble person in his life. He always kept this friendship in his heart.

“I know I won’t be polite if you need me.

When will the filming of [My Hometown and Me] start? "

"In two months, I'll ask the staff to contact your agent later."

Gu Wei was busy in the company, but Zhou Min was very relaxed when he returned home to the capital.

After arriving home, I put my luggage away, took a shower and changed my clothes, then lay on the sofa, scrolled through Douyin and ate snacks, leisurely.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, after watching an episode of the TV series, Zhou Ming picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Gu Wei.

"Let's have dinner together tonight?"

"Would you like to come to my house? My aunt's craftsmanship is very good~"

After sending two messages in a row, there was no reply from Gu Wei. Zhou Meng thought that he might be at work and put down the phone.

While browsing Weibo with his pad, the phone next to him suddenly rang, and Zhou Ming quickly picked it up.

He was a little disappointed when he saw the phone screen. It was not Gu Wei but Meng Ziyi who called.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Xiaomei, I heard that your call has been finalized and you have returned to the capital, right?"

Meng Ziyi's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"We're back, we have a flight this morning."

"I guess you have been filming for more than two months. How was it? Is it fun over there in Wanwan?"

"I went to film, not to play, but after the crew arrived in Penghu, I went out for a walk. The beach is really beautiful!"

Zhou Xi and Meng Ziyi are both students of Beijing Film Academy, and they were the school beauties of their respective classes.

Maybe it's because of their compatible personalities. Since they met, the two quickly became good friends. When they don't have work, they would go shopping and eat together. They can be regarded as good best friends.

"Yeah?

I have been to Taipei once, but not to Penghu. I may visit there if I have the chance.

Do you have anything to do tonight? "

"Uh, nothing's wrong, what's wrong?"

"Come here and find me. Let's have a meal together and then go play mahjong!"

Meng Ziyi warmly invited.

She and Zhou Ming lived not far away. They both lived in high-end apartments provided by the company at first. Their family conditions were very good and they had made a lot of money over the years. Later, they both bought houses in the capital.

Zhou Xi felt helpless after hearing Meng Ziyi's words: "Do you like playing mahjong so much? I just came back today. You are looking for me because you are missing three, right?"

"Ah, no, I haven't seen you for such a long time. I miss you so much. My Chocolate misses you very much too!" Chocolate is a puppy raised by Meng Ziyi.

"I originally wanted to have dinner with you. Just now Song Yanfei asked me to play mahjong together, so I just thought we could go together!"

"I won't play, you go ahead, I'm watching a drama at home~" Zhou Ming decisively refused.

He will most likely be with Gu Wei in the evening. With a boyfriend, best friends won't matter anymore.

"Uh~ Okay then, I'll have dinner with you tomorrow~"

"Haha, let's wait until you get up tomorrow!"

Zhou Ming knew very well that Meng Ziyi often stayed up all night when playing mahjong with her friends, playing one night and catching up on sleep during the next day.

"Haha, I can hold on and find you tomorrow morning, and then go to your house to sleep~

Even if you don't go to play mahjong, you can come to my house for dinner later! "

"No, I'm too lazy to move~"

"Uh~ Okay then."

The two little sisters chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Meng Ziyi was a little surprised by Zhou Xi's reaction today. The other party really didn't like playing mahjong, but Zhou Xi was very positive when she came to her house for dinner before, and she especially liked chocolate.

‘Maybe I’m a little tired just after I came back today~’

Thinking of this, Meng Ziyi called Song Yanfei again and told her that she could only go alone.

"It's okay. I called a friend over again. There are still four of us. We are all very free recently due to love affairs, so it's easy to find someone."

"Who is it? Male or female, do I know them?"

"Can I find a man for our party to play mahjong?

She is my junior sister who is in the show, she is also an actress in the entertainment industry, she is a beautiful woman! "

"Big beauty? How big is she? Is she as beautiful as me?" Meng Ziyi asked casually.

"Haha, you are so beautiful, but I am so beautiful.

I don’t know if you two know each other. Her name is Wang Churan and she is an artist from [Yuekai Culture]."

On the other side, Zhou Ming continued to browse Weibo after hanging up the phone. After a while, his phone rang again, the sound of WeChat.

She picked it up and saw that it was Gu Weifa's reply.

"There's something going on at the company. I'll see you later and have dinner together in the evening."

After seeing this, Zhou Xi couldn't help but reveal a big smile on his face.

"At about what time, I'll prepare a meal and wait for you~"

This time Gu Wei responded quickly.

Zhou Ming thought for a while and stood up from the sofa.

"Aunt Wu!" she shouted.

Then a 50-year-old woman wearing an apron came out of the kitchen.

"Ms. Zhou, what's the matter?"

Zhou's home is a large flat with an area of ​​more than 200 square meters in a high-end community. She rarely does housework. Aunt Wu is her nanny and is responsible for cleaning, shopping and cooking.

"Let's make dinner later today. Make a few more dishes and choose what you're good at."

"No problem. Are there any guests coming?"

"Yes, I have a friend who will come over later. You can leave first after making dinner."

"The bowl and chopsticks?"

"I'll clean up after dinner."

After Zhou Ming finished speaking, he thought of something else.

"You don't have to come in the morning tomorrow, just come at noon~"

Aunt Wu, the nanny, was a little surprised, but she didn't say anything and nodded in agreement.
