Huayu started as a lecturer at Beijing Film Academy

Ah, this?

Chen Yao never expected that on the first day of meeting her idol, she would not only be able to eat his food, but even sleep with him. She was a little excited just thinking about it!

Although it was not appropriate for a girl to stay at a man's house casually, considering that he was Teacher Gu, there were no such things to be particular about. Chen Yao agreed after pretending to be entangled for a while.

However, after knowing that Bai Lu was also living in Gu Zhongyu's house, she was still a little surprised, but his identity was an assistant. In the entertainment industry, it should be normal for celebrities and assistants to live together... right?

When Chen Yao arrived at Gu Zhongyu's house, she was still shocked by the luxurious villa. Her parents were ordinary civil servants, and her family could only be said to be well-off, not the second generation of the rich. From childhood to adulthood, she had never lived in such a good house.

"There are new toiletries and clothes. Bai Lu will take you to get them. If there are no suitable sizes, just make a phone call and someone will deliver them..."

"Although you are an adult, you still have to inform your parents. You can go back to your hometown to discuss it. You can take this card first. The company will pay you a basic salary every month. Before you go to school or film, you can live with me first, or the company will also allocate artist dormitories. You can choose..."

Chen Yao, who has a royal sister figure and a lolita face, followed Gu Zhongyu Bai Lu upstairs, looking around, feeling like a dream.

What Gu Zhongyu was thinking at this time was that Tang Ren would lose another Chen Yao in the future. In addition to Liu Shishi and Nazha before, would it have to rely on Li Landi and Jin Chen to support the facade in the future?

I also changed the fate of this young lady by the way. She was originally the least valued among the young actresses in Tang Ren, and people thought she was hidden.

But from now on, she entered Gu Zhongyu's house...Okay, girl, you will also be a star with someone behind you in the future.

Just as Gu Zhongyu was introducing her, Dun Dun came out from some corner with his short legs. The little guy had enjoyed all the good fortune at Liu Yufei's house, but how could Gu Zhongyu let him be so comfortable? He asked Bai Lu to carry him out.

So Dun Dun is very angry now, and the consequences are serious. He wants to retaliate. He wants to step on the stinky poop shoveler's feet with his cat claws!

Unfortunately, he was picked up by Bai Lu who was quick-eyed and quick-handed just as he came to him...

"Teacher Gu, is this the cat you take with you wherever you go?"

Chen Yao asked curiously. She is a fan of Gu Zhongyu and is not unfamiliar with his cats. She knows that he takes the little guy with him wherever he goes to film.

"Yes, it's called Dun Dun. No one takes care of it at home. Anyway, it's not a problem to carry a cat bag and a suitcase, so just take it with you."

Bai Lu was unhappy when she heard this. Please, I'm the one carrying a cat bag and a suitcase! Of course you don't think it's a problem.

"Okay, you two girls go play! I'm going to write something." Gu Zhongyu sent them to other rooms and returned to the study. He wanted to think about what to shoot next.

In Bai Lu's room, the two of them lay on the bed. Chen Yao reached out and touched Dun Dun's head: "I like cats too. I raised one when I was a child, but my parents didn't like it. They didn't allow me to raise one after I went to school."

"You are not allowed to take the art exam, and you are not allowed to raise a cat. Are your parents very strict with you?" Bai Lu asked with a little heartache.

Bai Lu was spoiled by her parents since she was a child. She had everything she wanted, and her education was more tolerant and open-minded, so she developed her optimistic personality. When she heard about Chen Yao's experience, she thought she was the kind of child who was strictly controlled since childhood.

"They are quite strict. When I was a kid, I was always beaten."

"So miserable? My parents never beat me. In fact, it's my mom who usually takes care of me. My dad works in the railway department. He doesn't see me often, so how could he bear to beat me!"

"Not miserable, it's mainly to scare them." Chen Yao thought about it and said thoughtfully, "Actually, I understand them now, because to be honest, my personality was similar to that of a boy when I was a kid. If I hadn't been beaten, I would have been crazy when I was a kid!"

"You've been in Yanjing for a month. Have you contacted your parents?"

"I send messages every day to let them know what I'm doing now. As for the phone calls, I haven't called them yet. I'm afraid that if I open my mouth, I'll quarrel with them again. Let's talk about it when we meet in person! "

Anyway, she has made up her mind, and with Gu Zhongyu's help, Chen Yao is not afraid anymore. Looking at Bai Lu who keeps asking questions, she also asked a question that has been hidden for a long time: "Sister Bai Lu, is the entertainment industry very chaotic?"

"A little bit, but not as exaggerated as the paparazzi say. As long as you don't waver, these chaos have nothing to do with you. Just be yourself anyway."

"What about Mr. Gu in his daily life? He has so many scandals, so they shouldn't all be fake, right?"

"Well..." Not only are they not all fake, but most of them are true.

Chen Duling had asked a similar question not long ago, so Bai Lu had to repeat it. Anyway, the core idea was that Gu Zhongyu was too outstanding. Even if she didn't go looking for women, there were still many women rushing to him, and there was no way to hide...

"What about you, Sister Bai Lu?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"Do you have a relationship with Teacher Gu?"

Bai Lu sat up suddenly. She asked herself that she had not done anything too intimate with Gu Zhongyu in front of others, so she was surprised and asked: "Why do you think so?"

"Looking at your reaction, I know I'm right. When we were eating just now, Teacher Gu helped you wipe your mouth. The action was very natural, and you felt at ease. This doesn't seem like something a star would do for a little assistant, not to mention that he wants to support you in filming."

"I really underestimated you!" Bai Lu didn't expect this girl to be much smarter than she thought. Originally, the boss's intention was to induce her step by step, but now it seems unnecessary.

Bai Lu lay on the bow, with her arms folded across her chest, and said indifferently: "Yes, I have a relationship with the boss, so what? A man and a woman are in love, are you not convinced?"

Chen Yao was a little shocked by her frankness: "Then did you rush to get close to him?"

"Yes! Otherwise, with my little beauty, would the boss take the initiative to reach out to me? Do you want to know how we got together?" Bai Lu was not shy at all, and even wanted to tell her some interesting stories about her and the boss.

Bai Lu certainly doesn't have a habit of exposing her privacy. As a worm in Gu Zhongyu's stomach, she knows what the boss is thinking when signing Chen Yao. Why does he see her as a talented person? In the end, isn't he still greedy for her body?

So she naturally has to help the boss, go with the flow, and try to save unnecessary processes in the middle. Compared with the simple and dull Chen Duling, Chen Yao, who dares to go to Beijing alone, is obviously a bolder person. Maybe she dares to take this important step on her own initiative.

After the matter is done, the boss will definitely thank her, and Chen Yao will become his own person.

As Gu Zhongyu's assistant, Bai Lu is very sensitive to the fact that the boss's women have a tendency to form a group and pull the mountain. She also has to prepare for the rainy day and make preparations early. Chen Duling and Chen Yao are both connections that can be won by herself, and there is also Meng Ziyi, who is also to be determined.

More than a year ago, Bai Lu was still a carefree assistant who only wanted to be lazy and fish. Now she has begun to have such deep scheming. The entertainment industry is really a big dye vat!

…

At this time in the study, Gu Zhongyu was thinking about the next plan of Zongheng Film and Television.

In terms of movies, in addition to the already completed "The Invisible Guest", Zhou Xingxing's "The Mermaid" and Wu Jin's "Wolf Warrior" are currently being filmed.

Last year, the box office of Zongheng Film and Television's three movies "Ball Lightning", "Chinese Partners" and "Like You" exceeded 2.7 billion, and the profit was about 700 to 800 million. "The Longest Day in Chang'an" did not make much, but it was also tens of millions. The business income of film and television dramas increased by almost 200% compared with the same period in 2011!

In addition to the income commission from the artist department and advertising income, the gross profit for the whole year of 2012 was 1.4 billion, and the net profit of shareholders reached 380 million.

Looking at the annual report of its old rival Huayi Brothers, the net profit of the whole company was only 240 million yuan, an increase of 20.47% over the same period of the previous year, and the total turnover reached 1.386 billion, and the income from the film business increased by 197.96% over the same period in 2011.

Judging from the financial annual reports of the two companies, Zongheng has surpassed Huayi Company.

But the account is not calculated in this way. The income of the Wang brothers is not limited to this. Their strategic layout is mainly in the two sectors of new media and cultural tourism. To put it bluntly, they are playing with real estate.

In this day and age, any commercial company with a few spare money will speculate in real estate. This is not new to the Wang brothers. Even Gu Zhongyu himself is crazy about buying houses. It's just that he is a personal behavior. He doesn't add much leverage and won't let the company do these businesses. His main focus is still on the entertainment industry. He doesn't want Zongheng to be too involved in the real estate field.

After all, the water here is too deep and the risk is very high. If you are not careful, you can easily touch the red line. The decline of the Wang brothers' company later was also related to this.

In Suzhou alone, the Wang brothers have obtained more than 900 acres of land, and hold shares through brand authorization, dry shares, etc., mainly including cinemas, film culture and creativity, and boutique hotels. The cinema project alone is expected to raise 3 billion yuan.

There is also the part of artist management and related service business. At present, the total number of artists signed by Huayi has exceeded 100. Not only is the number more than Zongheng, but also Huang Xiaoming, Li Binbin, Zhang Hanyu and others are all capable of taking the lead. Zongheng now mainly relies on Gu Zhongyu himself, Fan Binbin, Liu Shishi and others. Shen Teng, Zhang Ruoyun, Wan Qian, Zhu Yilong and others still need time to grow.

Moreover, Huayi is still a listed company, so in terms of real income, there is still a gap between Gu Zhongyu and the Wang brothers, but the gap is not much.

It will take time for Douyin to enter the market. Now it is a money-eating beast. In addition, the huge amount of promotion costs required after the launch, Gu Zhongyu feels that this money is not enough to spend!

He now has to make some profitable movies, and he will not touch TV series for the time being, because the cycle is too long.

What kind of movies are easy to make a lot of money?

Then we have to go back to comedy.

Gu Zhongyu tried it a long time ago, but he is not born to act in comedy, at least not like Shen Teng and Zhou Xingxing. Or it can be said that people who are too handsome are not suitable for acting in comedy.

Zhou Xingxing is not suitable to be a comedian in terms of his appearance, because he looks a bit handsome, but because he was still childish and simple when he was young, he would have a cute feeling when acting, and his talent is indeed unique, so he still achieved the title of comedy king.

When he got older, Zhou Xingxing's face became thinner, his facial features became firmer, and his eyebrows and eyes had a sense of vicissitudes, which made him look bitter when he smiled and a little serious when he didn't smile. In fact, he was not suitable for comedy at this time. He had this feeling since "Shaolin Soccer".

So he chose to retreat behind the scenes later, which was also one of the important reasons.

Shen Teng was also good-looking when he was young, and looked a little cold and serious. It was only after he got fat and had flesh on his face that he became a great comedian.

Even if Gu Zhongyu was willing to destroy his image, he might not be able to achieve the same effect. If he forced himself to act in comedy, he would not only feel awkward, but the audience would not like it either.

Deng Chao is the best example. He forced himself to act in comedy, and the audience soon got bored after buying it once or twice.

But this does not mean that he cannot play comedy. For example, the serious and domineering CEO in "Like You" can easily play this kind of role, because this is an "unhappy" type of comedy role. As long as there are people and things that can form a contrast or satirical effect, it will be fine.

Brainless and unhappy, almost all types of roles in comedy films are between these two.

For example, in "Detective Chinatown", Qin Feng played by Liu Haoran is a typical unhappy character. He has no comedy effect on his own, but when he stands with Tang Ren played by Wang Baoxiang, this funny effect comes out.

In "Lost on Journey", Xu Zheng is unhappy, and Wang Baoxiang is brainless...

So Gu Zhongyu can play some "unhappy" or comedy roles that do not need to destroy his image. He thought about it for a long time, and then wrote down the name of a movie in the notebook.

"Heart Flower"

This is a comedy movie starring Xu Zheng and Huang Bo. It tells the story of Geng Hao's emotional crisis in life. Faced with emotional betrayal, Geng Hao fell into pain that he could not extricate himself. In order to help him get rid of the pain, his good friend Hao Yi, a pair of "runaway brothers" took a dog and started a funny and crazy hunting journey.

A typical low-cost road comedy, with a cost of 35 million, it finally won the box office of 1.1 billion. This was Gu Zhongyu's first choice, and Xu Zheng's role Hao Yi happened to be the one he could play.

Because this is a playboy who picks up girls wherever he goes, Gu Zhongyu's face is too convincing to play this movie.

As for the role of Geng Hao, it has to be Huang Bo, because he needs a pitiful face, and the actress needs to change. Go back to the company to see if there is any suitable character, and contact Ning Hao and Huang Bo early to prepare.

At this time, Chen Yao quietly approached his study...
