Huayu is free to do as you like

Nazha stayed in the crew for a week, and because she had to attend an event for her endorsement company, she said goodbye to Gu Wei reluctantly.

She is now considered a "true Buddhist" star in the entertainment industry.

Because she knows her acting skills are not good enough and doesn't want to work hard, she has rarely taken on female lead roles in the past two years. She only occasionally plays supporting roles in big productions recommended by the company to show her face.

In the free time, he followed Gu Wei's arrangement and participated in some variety shows. While making money, he was also favored by passers-by much better than before.

Other stars want to act more and act in better TV dramas and movies, simply because they want to increase their fame and status so that they have more choices.

Nazha is not lacking in fame nowadays. She has been very popular and her beautiful looks are among the best in the entertainment industry. Her face is as good as her kingdom.

Even if there haven't been any good works for several years, the fame is still enough, but the popularity is not as high as before.

Because she has Gu Wei's support, she is not short of resources. The company can arrange for her various product endorsements and fashion resources.

The most important thing is that she really has no shortage of money.

A star with an annual income of tens of millions can enjoy billion-dollar mansions, manor villas, luxury yachts, private islands and other things that ordinary billionaires cannot afford.

She thought that even if she worked harder to make money, she would not be able to afford this standard of living, so she just lay down.

I have absolutely no ambition in my career. I simply follow the team's work arrangements and slack off whenever I can.

Now the only thing that makes her still a little persistent is maintaining her figure and appearance.

No matter what time it is, you must be beautiful~

[Extreme Rescue] is being filmed in an orderly manner in Hainan.

This is not the first time that Wen Mu has worked with Gu Wei. The team members are all veterans of the company, and they cooperate very well.

The only one that needs some adjustment is Yuan Heping's martial arts team. It is also Wen Mu's first time working with them, and he is still not used to many things.

However, we have to say that Mr. Yuan Ba ​​is really talented. It is no exaggeration to say that he is one of the best in the world in designing action and martial arts scenes.

For many shots, after Wen Mu expressed the effect he wanted to present, his team would quickly design several sets of fighting moves for him to choose from.

Wen Mu also has a clear understanding of himself. As a top domestic director who has shot "Dying to Survive", he is best at telling stories and does not have much experience in shooting action scenes.

Therefore, he would seek the opinions of Yuan Heping and Gu Wei for this aspect of shooting. They would discuss together based on the desired effect and finally decide how to shoot.

Two weeks later, Wu Jing joined the team.

"The premiere of "A Thousand Miles Home" will be held in a few days. Will you go back?"

Like "Extreme Rescue", Wu Jing also appeared in "The Journey Home", playing the role of "Cheng Lang's" father "Cheng Jinsong".

However, he was more or less a supporting role in "Extraction", and in "The Journey Home" he just showed up for a cameo appearance, with only a few seconds of screen time in total.

"No, this movie did a good job in early promotion, and there are no competitive films during the National Day holiday. After the premiere, I will help promote it on platforms such as Weibo and Douyin."

Gu Wei thought of something and turned to look at Wu Jing and said with a smile: "I have seen a lot of promotional materials about you on the Internet these days, 'Wu Jing visits the set'~"

Netizens jokingly called "Wu Jing visits the set, Huo Siyan sheds tears, and Zhang Yimou is shocked" the three magic weapons for the promotion and marketing of domestic entertainment films.

Every time a new movie is released, you can always see promotional news related to these three people.

It seemed as if Wu Jing had endless classes to visit, Huo Siyan cried at everything she saw, and Zhang Yimou shocked people eight hundred times in one film.

Facing Gu Wei's teasing, Wu Jing was not embarrassed at all, he shrugged and said, "It's all just helping, just a favor.

I did visit the set, and it’s normal to promote the film before it’s released.”

"It means you are so popular now that everyone wants to take advantage of your popularity."

"Nonsense, no one can be more popular than you!"

Gu Wei smiled and shook his head: "I'm not as easy to talk to as you, and I'm usually very busy.

Those who can help with publicity either have very good connections or have vested interests.”

“There’s nothing we can do about it. You started from too high a point, and you’ve been on your way to the top all these years. You’ve always helped others, and few people can help you.

I'm different. I've been in a slump for the past ten years or so, and I only got through it with the help and support of my friends. I owe a lot of favors to people, and I have to repay them.

Just like my senior brother, who is already a Hollywood superstar, but when he returned to China, he still had to shoot crappy movies like "Legend of the White Snake" and "Legend of the Gods", playing supporting roles for others, just to repay favors."

In fact, it's not just Wu Jing. Huang Xiaoming and Liu Dehua have made so many bad movies. Do you think they didn't know the quality of the movie before filming?

Anyone who can reach their position must have good vision, at least they can tell the good from the bad of the script.

However, I still took on a lot of roles whose stories were shit in themselves, simply because I was invited by friends and there were favors involved that I couldn't refuse.

Therefore, these two people are also recognized as good guys in the entertainment industry, and they are the kind with super good popularity.

“When we had dinner together before, you seemed to be pessimistic about [Ordinary Heroes].

This movie is the third in Bona's "Hero Series Movies", so the box office shouldn't be too bad.

I feel like it can compete with [A Thousand Miles Back]."

The first two films in Bona's "Hero Series Movies" mentioned by Wu Jing were "The Captain" and "The Bravest", one with a box office of 2.9 billion and the other 1.5 billion.

[Ordinary Heroes] is the third film in the series. It is also a big production adapted from real events and starring a star-studded cast. Logically, the box office should not be low.

Gu Wei shook his head: "Many mainstream films have been released in recent years, and the profits from this theme have been eaten up.

In order to get high box office, it not only has to be well-made, but it also has to match the current social environment and public opinion.

Just like last year's "Chinese Doctor", which was released just after the epidemic ended and everyone was still immersed in the atmosphere of the whole country fighting the epidemic, although the word of mouth was average, it still made more than 1 billion at the box office.

By the time of this year's summer movie with the same theme, "You Are My Spring", it only had a pitiful box office of 30 million because it was out of place at the time.

By the same token, it's hard for the audience to empathize with stories like "Ordinary Heroes."

Another thing is, I don't believe in Chen Guohui's level. The movies he made before were "Love in the City" and "Bride Wars", the level of which is far behind Rao Xiaozhi, Lu Yang, Guo Fan and others.

It is difficult for him to make a good film like "Ordinary Heroes" under his direction."

After hearing his analysis, Wu Jing nodded in agreement, then smiled bitterly: "After hearing what you said, I don't care whether [Ordinary Heroes] does well at the box office. Instead, I'm starting to worry about whether [Wolf Warrior 3] should be filmed next."

Gu Wei laughed.

He understood what Wu Jing meant. It's not that Wu Jing didn't know how to shoot "Wolf Warrior 3", but the performance of "Wolf Warrior 2" was too good. It also benefited from the main theme of patriotism. Now that the dividend has faded, he is afraid that the performance of the third part will not be ideal and there will be a gap.

“It doesn’t matter, just shoot it if you think it’s right. As long as the story is exciting, the audience will still buy it!

The audience can really tell whether a movie is truly made with heart, and it can still achieve good results even without the bonus of the subject matter!"

Wu Jing shook his head: "Let's talk about it later. I have no plans to launch [Wolf Warrior 3] in the short term.

I read a very interesting comic recently and I thought it would be good if it was made into a movie."

"Comics?" Gu Wei was a little confused.

Wu Jing became interested and explained to him actively: "It's called [The Escort], and it tells the story of an extraordinary escort traveling in the desert of the Western Regions during the Sui Dynasty. He accepted an escort mission to the capital Chang'an, and a series of events that followed.

It is a bit like "Dragon Gate Inn", involving the court, the rivers and lakes and the world, and belongs to the martial arts genre.

Martial arts movies have been in decline for a long time. I remember that the highest-grossing movie right now should be your movie "Knife of the Assassin 2".

After that, no good movies were made in so many years."

Gu Wei blinked. He had no impression of this "Bodyguard" and had never even heard of the comic book.

"That's a good idea. Are you planning to direct it yourself?"

Wu Jing shook his head: "I've said before that if it weren't for the fact that there were really no movies to shoot, I really wouldn't want to be a director.

In comparison, I still prefer to be an actor.

If we want to make a good martial arts film in China, we can either find Xu Ke, or...

When he said this, he looked up and saw Yuan Heping discussing something with Wen Mu.

".Looking for Master Ba!

I can be the lead actor.”

After saying that, he turned to look at Gu Wei and said, "If we really start this project, can you come over and play a role for me?"

"I?

Sure, I'll go help you if I have time!"

Gu Wei agreed readily.

Just now the two were discussing the relationships in the entertainment industry.

Given the relationship between Wu Jing and Gu Wei, Gu Wei had asked him to make a guest appearance so many times, and he had always agreed without hesitation. Now that he asked Gu Wei for help, Gu Wei naturally would not refuse.

"I can also contribute a little bit in terms of investment. It's up to you when the time comes."

"Haha, that's settled then!" (End of this chapter)
