Huayu is free to do as you like

Gu Wei had a good impression of Wang Churan.

Although this person is not famous yet, his foundation is really good.

With her majestic three-dimensional facial features, tall figure, and fair skin, she is outstandingly beautiful in an environment where beauties are everywhere in the entertainment industry.

The most important thing is that she is not the cookie-cutter internet celebrity face, she is very beautiful and unique.

Wang Churan is very sensible. After being introduced to Gu Wei by Jia Shikai, he did not think that the two of them had a relationship. Although he was a bit clingy, he was very obedient.

If it's the kind of person who can't figure it out, the best Gu Wei can do is introduce a resource and then not contact him again.

Wang Churan, a well-behaved and sensible person, is able to maintain this relationship, and he will think of her if there is any suitable opportunity in the future.

A pleasant evening passed.

Early the next morning, Gu Wei got up and washed up and asked the housekeeper to bring breakfast.

He booked the presidential suite at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. It was expensive but the service was high enough and the confidentiality was relatively good.

Wang Churan woke up a little later. She was wearing the white nightdress from last night. Her long black wavy hair was spread over her fair skin. She walked lazily from the bedroom with a pair of big white legs and yawned.

Seeing Gu Wei, she smiled sweetly, washed briefly, and sat down to dine with him.

"Has the agency arranged anything for you in the second half of the year?"

Gu Wei asked casually while eating his food.

Wang Churan thought for a while: "In addition to [Qing Yu Nian 2], the company also accepted a TV series and a variety show for me.

The TV series is a project of [Huanyu Film and Television], called [Shang Shi], starring Xu Kai and Wu Jinyan, and I play the second female lead.

The variety show is to participate in Tengxun Video’s director casting reality show [Actors Please Be Here Season 2].”

[Shangshi] Gu Wei has no impression, but [Huanyu Film and Television]'s projects are most likely Yu Zheng's dramas, and Xu Kai and Wu Jinyan are both his artists.

[Actors Please Take Their Place] is a replica of [The Birth of an Actor]. A group of unknown or outdated artists are chosen to be contestants, and their acting skills are compared. A few instructors comment on the spot to decide whether to advance or be eliminated.

Different from "The Birth of an Actor", the mentors of "Actors Please Take Their Place" have changed from senior celebrities to well-known directors, such as Chen Kaige, Er Dongsheng, Guo Xiaosi, etc., but the comments are still as sharp as ever.

Li Chengru's 12-character mottos of "like sitting on pins and needles," "like a fishnet in the throat," and "like a thorn in the back" came from this program.

He also contributed to the famous live battle scene with Guo Xiaosi.

[Actors Please Take Your Place] is also a very popular variety show, with various quarrels, reprimands, and famous scenes. It is also a frequent hot search during the broadcast period.

It’s just not friendly to artists who want to gain some attention and traffic on the show.

"It can be seen that Jia Shikai still values ​​you very much."

Wang Churan's current reputation is not even third-tier, a little better than that of an amateur. These two projects are good resources for her.

"It's not bad. I'm very satisfied if I can film at this stage."

The cold winter in film and television is real, especially since the beginning of this year, when many celebrities and artists in the industry have been unemployed.

In the past, when the film and television industry was booming, third- and fourth-tier stars were looking for a lot of roles, and they could film several films a year through picking and choosing. Now, if someone is invited to one, they have to hurry up and take it.

"The resources of Hyatt are just like that. Although Jia Shikai has good connections in the industry, he lacks the ability to produce film and television dramas.

And I remember that the first sister of Hyatt is Song Qian. If there is a good opportunity, she must be chosen first, and then it may be your turn."

"Brother Wei, what do you mean?"

Wang Churan felt a little excited. She thought Gu Wei wanted to sign her.

As we all know, [Wei Tianxia] has first-class resources for its artists. The company itself has produced many hit movies and TV series, and it also has cooperative relationships with many big companies in the industry.

Zhang Tianai, the first “10-billion-dollar actress” in domestic entertainment, was created by [Wei Tianxia] with resources.

And with a superstar boss like Gu Wei, it couldn't be easier to praise people.

Not to mention those stars who have become popular before, Tian Xiwei, who played "Fan Ruoruo" in "Qing Yu Nian" this year, and Zhou Xi, who performed well in "Young You" and "Zhou Chu's Three Evils", are all He is a new actor under [Wei Tianxia].

The two are similar in age to Wang Churan, but their resources are much better than hers.

Gu Wei glanced at her and knew what Wang Churan was thinking, but he didn't mean that and continued to talk to himself:

“If newcomers want to become famous quickly, TV dramas or idol dramas are a shortcut.

When I first debuted, I also became famous through [Gu Jian Qi Tan]."

"I remember your first work was [Embroidered Spring Knife], right?" Wang Churan said.

Gu Wei smiled and said: "It's [Xiu Chun Dao], yes, but after filming [Xiu Chun Dao], I can't be considered popular.

After all, the movie is only two hours long.

It's very difficult to make the audience like you in these two short hours.

TV dramas are different. Dozens of episodes often take a month to air.

Moreover, the audience of idol dramas is young men and women, who are most likely to become fans."

Wang Churan nodded in agreement.

Gu Wei continued: "The current TV drama market is different from before. The platform's influence is growing, and a one-stop industrial chain from production to broadcasting has gradually been formed.

Many old TV drama production companies are now actively cooperating with major platforms. Especially after the "salary limit order" was issued by radio and television, TV stations' film purchase fees have been reduced. If high-cost TV dramas want to make money, they must rely on online platforms.

I know that major platforms have also signed some artists one after another, but the development is mostly average.

If you want to make progress and develop well in the future, it is best to choose one of the "Aitengyou" and sign a film and television sub-contract."

After Gu Wei finished speaking, he picked up the juice in front of him and took a sip. He said this entirely because of Wang Churan's consideration.

If newcomers want to get ahead quickly, they have to keep filming. Whichever drama becomes popular will naturally become popular. The three video platforms shoot a large number of self-made dramas every year. If you want to participate, you must either be a popular star yourself or be one of your own.

"But this is not my decision," Wang Churan said hesitantly.

She thought what Gu Wei said made sense, but she was still a new actress, and she relied on the resources of her agency to take on roles. If she wasn't famous, she had no say.

The signing platform puts it simply. First, your agency must agree, and secondly, the platform must also be willing to hire her.

Gu Wei glanced at her.

"When you go back and tell the company about this, just say it was me who brought it up.

Jia Shikai is a smart man and he will not be unwilling.

You are not well-known now, you have created very little value for the company, and you are still in the blood-sucking stage.

Signing up with the video platform will pass on this part of the cost of training, and Hyatt can pay a lot less.

As for the benefits that are divided, it is only the film and television part. Only by making the cake bigger can we get more.

If one day you become a top star, even excluding the film and television part, other endorsements and commercial performances will be enough for Hyatt to make a lot of money.

As for the platform, "Aitengyou" and I have a good cooperative relationship, so it will be no problem to push you there."

"Brother Wei, I listen to you"

Although it was not a sign in [Wei Ming Xia], Wang Churan was very happy that Gu Wei could think about this for her.

Naturally, she wanted to become a big star when she studied acting and entered the entertainment industry, but she didn't know exactly how to become famous or what her future path would be.

Having a top celebrity in the entertainment industry like Gu Wei help her plan her career will definitely save her a lot of detours.

After breakfast and a warm moment with Wang Churan, Gu Wei left the hotel and got on the car to the airport.

". We have already communicated with [Noon Sunshine], and we can sign the [Start] contract when we get back this time.

Because it is a web drama with only 15 episodes, the production cost is limited, and the remuneration can only be 10 million + 30% dividend."

On the way back, Yang Dan told Gu Wei about the results of the consultation with [Noon Sunshine].

I met Hou Hongliang at the Magnolia Awards Ceremony last month and received an invitation to star in "The Beginning". It has only been officially confirmed now.

In fact, after Gu Wei came back, he thought about it and decided to take on the film. However, taking a film is a film, and the benefits should not be compromised.

A salary of 10 million is nothing. When Gu Wei was filming a TV series a few years ago, his salary was close to hundreds of millions.

It's just that [The Beginning] is a small-cost online drama after all, and the investment is not high, only 50 million.

Today is different from the past. After the "salary limit order" was introduced, the selling price of TV series dropped, resulting in lower production costs and actors' remuneration.

The General Administration stipulates that the total remuneration of all actors in a drama must not exceed 40% of the total investment.

Gu Wei's 10 million is already the total salary of all other actors, including the heroine.

Of course, the most important thing is the 30% dividend.

"Who did the heroine choose at noon?"

Gu Wei has already read the script, and it is no different from the original time and space version.

"It hasn't been decided yet. The crew has just started preparations. They have been waiting for a reply from us during this time."

Gu Wei nodded.

"Let's go back and recommend Zhao Jinmai to director Sun Molong as the heroine."

"clear."

Gu Wei made a recommendation, and the matter was basically settled, unless Zhao Jinmai refused to accept it.

It's not that Gu Wei doesn't take care of his own artists. In fact, Zhou Xi and Tian Xiwei are also qualified for the role of "Li Shiqing" in "The Beginning".

It's just that the original version was played by Zhao Jinmai after all, and Gu Wei and Mai Mai have a very good relationship. The little girl always calls her "brother" and is very enthusiastic every time they meet. She really treats him as an older brother, so how can he be embarrassed to take it? People's roles.

After Gu Wei returned to the capital, Rao Xiaozhi also returned to the company with other staff members within two days, preparing to start the post-production of "The Crowd".

The filming of "Love Saint 2", directed by Cui Rui and produced by Wen Mu, was completed two months ago. Now that the post-production was completed, Gu Wei took the three directors together for a dinner.

At the dinner table, Rao Xiaozhi and Wen Mu also complained about the project that Guo Fan threw to him.

"Haha, this is something Guo Fan can do. People on the Internet call him the "Cyber ​​Succubus" and say it's a pity that he doesn't do MLM.

You have said so much, but you still have to seriously work on this project for him."

Wen Mu was also acquainted with Guo Fan and knew the other person's character and conduct well.

Gu Wei smiled and said: "Although Guo Fan can be a bit tricky sometimes, I have to say that he is indeed a good person with great vision and ability.

I took a look at the film "The Thousand Miles Homeward Bound" that I gave to Director Rao, and it was indeed a very good project.

The subject matter is very good, and once it's filmed, it will definitely gain both box office and word-of-mouth success. "

After speaking, he looked at Rao Xiaozhi.

"When are you going to start filming?"

Rao Xiaozhi thought for a while: "I can't decide now.

[The Crowd] is enough to be completed in one or two months in the later stage, but [Ten Thousand Miles Homeward Journey] currently only has a rough main line, and the script has not been written yet.

As for actors and other things, you always have to have a script before you can start selecting them.

The preliminary preparations will take more than half a year at the earliest.”

Gu Wei nodded.

"In this way, I will ask the company's screenwriting department to write a version of the script for you first, and then you can modify it according to your own ideas after finishing "The Crowd". This will also save time and make it easier.

As for the preliminary preparations, we will have to discuss it with Guo Fan and Lu Yang. After all, everyone is working together on the movie. Since Lu Yang is going to be the producer, we cannot let him sit idle."

Guo Fan now has his own company called [Guo Fan (Beijing) Pictures], and this company has invested in [The Wandering Earth 2], which is in the preparation stage.

[Ten Thousand Miles Homeward Journey] is a joint production of [Wei Ming Xia], [Guo Fan Pictures], and [Free Cool Whale Pictures].

In the film and television industry, once you become an indispensable person, you are qualified to share the cake.

Gu Wei, Wu Jing, Guo Fan, Lu Yang, Ning Hao, and Xu Zheng are all like this.

For example, Wen Muye and Rao Xiaozhi, both under Wei Tianxia, ​​currently have their own studios, which are affiliated with the company. The films they direct will receive a share of the investment, and they have also made a lot of money in recent years.

Wen Muye and Rao Xiaozhi are still willing to work diligently under the banner of "Wei Ming Xia" despite their movie success. On the one hand, it is because Gu Wei has been kind to them and gave them trust and support when they were at their lowest.

On the other hand, Gu Wei was never stingy with money, so he had plenty to eat.

Gu Wei, Wen Muye, and Rao Xiaozhi mainly talked at the dinner table. Cui Rui mostly listened and rarely interrupted.

He is different from the two directors Wen and Rao. They have already proven themselves by making big-selling movies and are already successful. He is still a newcomer.

After signing with the company, he participated in the "Detective Chinatown" web drama project as an executive director, and then was arranged by the company to direct "Lovers 2".

He was actually under a lot of pressure. After all, the first part of "Love Saint" was a hit, and director Wen Mu also became famous for "I'm Not the God of Medicine". He was very afraid of screwing up "Love Saint 2".

"Mr. Gu, the post-production of [Love Saint 2] has been completed now. When will it be released?"

During the chat, Cui Rui couldn't help but ask.

Gu Wei thought for a moment: "Let's take a look at the Lunar New Year stalls. The eleventh slot coming soon will definitely be too late, and with several domestic blockbusters being released at the same time, this year's eleventh slot will definitely be very crowded.

Then there are the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival stalls. For the Spring Festival stalls, the company's "Tang Detective 3" and "Love Saint 2" have been arranged to be released in the Lunar New Year stalls between December and New Year's Day."

After he finished speaking, Wen Mu beside him also laughed and said: "Director Cui is very talented. I watched the entire shooting and editing of [Lovers 2]. The movie has a lot of baggage, lots of laughs, and the story is very complete. It will definitely It’s going to be a box-office hit comedy!”

Cui Rui waved his hands after hearing this: "Thanks to the help of the literary director during the filming, he gave me a lot of guidance and suggestions, otherwise the filming of [Love Saint 2] would not have gone so smoothly."

Gu Wei smiled and said: "You two don't need to compliment each other. I believe in your abilities, but we have to see how the movie performs after it is released."

After saying that, he looked at Wen Muye.

"[Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils] has been released for almost two months, and the current box office is 2.86 billion, which has reached its limit.

I plan to hold a celebration party in the capital in the next two days."

"Internal or external?"

"Internally, this movie will not have a sequel, and it will be released soon, so there is no need to promote it. The main thing is to celebrate it and make everyone happy.

Of course, red envelopes are indispensable.”

In this year's summer season of Original Time and Space, "Eight Hundred" is the dominant one, taking in 3.1 billion at the box office.

However, because [Zhou Chu Sanzhi] joined and took the first-mover advantage, it attracted many viewers who belonged to [Eight Hundred].

The two movies worked together to boost the summer market, but "Zhou Chu" failed to reach 3 billion in the end, and "Eight Hundred" only reached 1.48 billion, less than half of the original time and space.
