Huayu started as a lecturer at Beijing Film Academy

"Teacher Gu, you look good recently!" Guo Fan said as he served the tea.

In the company's tea room, Gu Zhongyu, the company's producer Zhang Miao, Gong Geer and Guo Fan drank tea together. The few people didn't taste it carefully. They just drank one cup after another and chatted while drinking. They drank the special-grade Taiping Houkui like a fat otaku's happy water.

"Is there? Maybe it's because I quit my job as a teacher at Beijing Film Academy and I have nothing to do and I'm free!" In fact, Gu Zhongyu has been hanging out with Fan Binbin at home these days. It must be said that the gentle countryside is really a tomb for heroes. He didn't go out during those days.

Fortunately, he was determined and remembered the business. In the end, he got out of the Pansi Cave of the female fairy.

"Hehe! I think Mr. Gu is in a good mood because of the good things he has experienced!" Gong Geer next to him said with a wretched smile. As an old man of Zongheng Entertainment, he has been with Gu Zhongyu for several years, so he guessed what he had been doing during this period.

Gu Zhongyu rolled his eyes at him. Why is he laughing so filthy!

At this moment, I really want to spit on this fat guy's wretched face!

Gong Geer, this guy is a talent. He graduated from the Management Department of Beijing Film Academy in 1999. He is a senior of Gu Zhongyu and Guo Fan. He is a singer, film and television actor, voice actor, music producer, screenwriter, and producer. In 2007, he participated in the talent show "Happy Boys" on the toilet channel and won the top four in the Xi'an singing area and the top 18 in the national finals. However, he did not stay on the road of singing for too long, but quickly invested in the film industry.

First, he collaborated with Hu Ge to shoot the comedy short film "007 vs. the Men in Black" and became popular on the Internet. In the next few years, he was also an actor, producer, and screenwriter. He took on all kinds of work. However, the turning point of his life was the movie "My Deskmate" in 2014, in which he first collaborated with Guo Fan.

Guo Fan and Gong Geer like each other. They were roommates when they were drifting in Beijing. After this official cooperation, Guo Fan also discovered the talent of this guy behind the scenes of the movie, so he began to trick him into getting on his car.

Two years after the cooperation on this movie, Guo Fan began to prepare for the filming plan of "The Wandering Earth". First, Guo Fan himself invested more than 1 million of his savings. After he ran out of money, he began to talk to the producer Gong Geer about his ideals every day, saying that the script of our Wandering Earth is so great that it will definitely make a sensation in the world as long as it is filmed, and this life is worth it.

Gong Geer was fooled and confused. After becoming a producer, he not only did not receive a penny of salary, but also invested hundreds of thousands of yuan and sold his car! When the crew was in the most difficult time, Gong Geer even had to work as a producer while dubbing for online dramas. Every time he made money, he immediately gave it to Guo Fan's crew before he could even warm up.

God did not let down the great wronged. Gong Geer paid out of his own pocket and worked hard with Guo Fan for three years. Finally, "The Wandering Earth" was released and became a great success. He, as a producer and screenwriter, has made a name for himself.

It must be said that although the bloody campus love movie "My Deskmate" is not very good, it brought Guo Fan and Gong Geer together, which can be regarded as an outstanding contribution to China's science fiction industry.

Gu Zhongyu didn't think of this buddy in this life. It was four years ago when he saw Gong Geer's comedy short film "007 vs. Pork Prince" on the Internet that he felt that he looked familiar, so he checked this buddy's information and remembered this behind-the-scenes producer who completed the "The Wandering Earth" series with Guo Fan, so he quickly asked someone to recruit him.

In the past four years, Gong Geer has participated in many projects of Zongheng Film and Television, and has been involved in screenwriting, producer, and composing. Now he is the deputy manager of the company's film division and director of the production center. The project of "Ball Lightning" will naturally not be without him. Gu Zhongyu asked him to cooperate with Guo Fan, the golden partner, in advance, hoping to achieve the same effect as in the previous life of "The Wandering Earth".

"Ahem! Let's talk about business! By the way, have you chosen the heroine of the movie, Mr. Gu?" Zhang Miao, who had been silent all the time, spoke up. As the general manager of the company's film division, this is the issue he is most concerned about now. At present, the preparations for "Ball Lightning" have been basically completed, and it's just waiting for the big boss Gu Zhongyu to decide on the heroine. Because this movie is produced by Gu Zhongyu alone, he has all the decision-making power.

Zhang Miao, this is also a talent that Gu Zhongyu dug up in advance based on his previous life memory. This brother has served as the senior director of the Tianchao region of Columbia International Pictures and Sony International Pictures. Movies such as "007", "Spider-Man", and the "Men in Black" series were all introduced to Tianchao by him. He also has deep interpersonal relationships in Hollywood. Gu Zhongyu previously participated in the investment and screenwriting of "Inception" and got in touch with the great director Nolan through his relationship.

But what is even more impressive is the achievements made by Zhang Miao in his previous life after he became the general manager of the film division of Yanjing Culture in 2016. He has served as the producer and distributor of many well-received or popular films such as "Wolf Warrior 2", "Dying to Survive", "The Wandering Earth", "Hello, Li Huanying", and "The Unknown", and his professional level can be said to be top-notch in the industry.

Gu Zhongyu also put in a lot of effort to recruit him to the company, and found many people to lobby, so that this great god joined Zongheng Film and Television last year.

"I've already thought about it. Let's let her play the heroine Lin Yun!" Gu Zhongyu said, picking out a photo from his phone and putting it on the table. Several people leaned forward to look at it.

"Is it her? Will it work? This is a commercial movie, not a TV series." Zhang Miao asked after looking at it. He had heard about this actress before. Her acting skills were just okay. She was not the type of actress he liked.

"Haha, it doesn't matter who you choose. Science fiction movies don't require high requirements for actors. The plot and special effects are the main actors. Moreover, the investment in the first part of "Ball Lightning" is limited. It's not expensive to find her. At least she is popular enough, which can also add some attention to our movie."

In fact, Gu Zhongyu originally wanted to find a new actor to play the heroine Lin Yun, but after a round of investigation, he didn't find any suitable candidates. It happened that someone recommended this actress to her at this time. Gu Zhongyu thought about it and felt that it might be possible to give it a try.

Moreover, the two are old acquaintances. Now she is very popular, which is also very helpful for the promotion of the movie.

"Okay! Then it's her." Zhang Miao waved his hand. Anyway, as long as he can guarantee that the filming can start smoothly next month, he, as a producer, will not be in a hurry. He believes that Gu Zhongyu will not joke about such a serious work.

Guo Fan did not express any opinions after looking at the photos. Although he is a director, he has the least experience in this teahouse. He is really embarrassed to speak up. Moreover, he thinks that as for the casting of actors, it's fine as long as he can use them. Anyway, as long as he can give full play to his director, it's fine.

Next, several people started a series of discussions around the pre-production and post-production of "Ball Lightning". When talking about his professionalism, Guo Fan's enthusiasm was even higher. Although he had just joined the company not long ago, he quickly got along with everyone and even danced when he talked about something exciting.

Looking at the three people who were discussing enthusiastically, especially Guo Fan who had just joined, Gu Zhongyu couldn't help but feel that he had a lot of talents under his command. The future of domestic films still depends on these people!
