China Entertainment's whatever you want

Chapter 126 Celebration
That day, Gu Wei was off the show and was resting on a chair beside him.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Reba is here to visit the class." Assistant Yang Dan whispered in front of him.

Gu Wei stood up and saw Reba walking over.

She was wearing a black down jacket with a white turtleneck sweater inside, a pair of skinny jeans, and a small white bag across her body.

Long wavy hair falls from both sides of the shoulders, the facial features are three-dimensional, and the skin on the face is so white that it seems to be shining.

"Reba, you're here~"

"Gu Wei~ I'm sorry, I wasn't here on New Year's Day, so I couldn't spend it with you.

So I'll come and see you when I get back~"

Reba, who was able to come to visit the class, seemed very happy, and said to Gu Wei with a happy face.

"Sit down quickly." Gu Wei called Reba to sit down, and then poured her a cup of hot water.

"It's cold, drink some water."

Reba was not polite, she picked up the warm water glass with both hands, took a breath and took a sip slowly.

Putting down the cup, he took out a pair of black woolen gloves from the small white bag.

"Here~ This is a gift I brought to you."

Gu Wei took it and put it on his hand. It was just the right size. He shook hands with each other. The gloves are thick and suitable for keeping warm from the cold.

"Thank you, Reba! Did you weave it yourself?" Gu Wei was curious.

Reba is a little embarrassed
"I bought it from my hometown in the frontier. I don't know how to knit, but I have already started to learn from my mother. I believe that I will be able to weave a scarf for you in the near future."

Reba said confidently, a little proudly.

"Then I'll be waiting for your scarf~"

"Well! It's a deal!" She seemed very confident about this Reba.

Gu Wei chatted happily with Reba here, and Zhao Liying came over after seeing the situation here.

"Gu Wei, what is this?"

She looked at Reba, a beautiful girl with an exotic look, and asked.

Reba's beauty is completely different from her own beauty.

"This is my friend, Reba, who came to visit the class today.

Reba, this is the heroine of our drama, Zhao Liying. "

Gu Wei introduced.

Reba quickly stood up, bowed and stretched out her hand.

"Hello, Miss Li Ying, I'm Reba.

I have watched your drama [Legend of Lu Zhen], I really like your drama, please take care of me when we meet for the first time~"

She looked cautious and polite.

Zhao Liying is now a well-known actor, but she is just a little transparent in the entertainment industry.

"Hello, Reba, you look so beautiful~"

Zhao Liying also reached out to shake her hand and said in admiration.

"Sister Li Ying, you are joking, my appearance is very common in the frontier."

Reba is humble.

Zhao Liying also sat down, and the three of them chatted together. Gu Wei shared with Reba some interesting things about the filming of "Shanshan is Coming", and Zhao Liying also chimed in, which made Reba feel envious.

"Mr. Gu, it's time for your show." A staff member came over to remind him.

After hearing this, Gu Wei turned his head and said to Reba.

"You stay here for a while, and when I finish filming today's scene, let's have dinner together."

After hearing this, Reba stood up.

"No need, Gu Wei, get busy first, filming is important.

Anyway, I'm also in Shanghai, you can call me whenever you have time, let's be together again. "

"That's fine too."

Gu Wei thought about it, but it was not good for Reba to wait here alone.

Reba greeted Zhao Liying who was beside her and left.

After a day of filming, everyone called it a day and wanted to go back to the hotel.

Zhao Liying moved to Gu Wei's side

"The little beauty who came to visit the class today has something to do with you, right?"

She asked with a questioning expression on her face.

"Reba is an actress I met in the last drama. I am optimistic about her potential, and she will definitely become a big star in the future."

Gu Wei seemed to be serious.

"You know that's not what I'm asking, you can tell by the way she looks at you that it's not as simple as an ordinary friend.

Nine times out of ten, she is the little fan girl who was fooled by you. "

After hearing this, Gu Wei looked at Zhao Liying's face with a wicked smile and said.

"Is that so? But I feel like Li Ying, you usually see me that way!"

"Me? I didn't. I was filming. Forget it. I won't tell you about it. Let's go!"

Zhao Liying looked a little distraught by Gu Wei's words.

She was still thinking when she turned and walked away
'Are my usual eyes so obvious? '

On January 1, the crew of [Detective Chinatown] held a grand celebration banquet in Beijing.

[Tang Detective] The staff of the crew and all the cast and crew attended the banquet in costumes.

The CEOs of the three major companies were also present with their capable generals.

The celebration banquet was organized and prepared by Gu Wei Company.

[Tang Tan] In this movie, [Wei Mingxia] is the real mastermind.

Gu Wei had already returned to the capital one day earlier, and he was the real host at this celebration banquet.

At the beginning of the banquet, Gu Wei invited Director Han to come on stage to say a few words, but Director Han declined. Although he has the highest status in the film and television industry, he is now Gu Wei's home court, and he doesn't want to overwhelm the guests.

Seeing Director Han's resolute attitude, Gu Wei did not persuade him any more.

He took the initiative to go to the field

"Every crew member of [Detective Chinatown], actors and friends from the media.

Thank you very much for coming to today's celebration dinner.

[Tang Tan] It took more than a year for this film from preparation to shooting to the final screening.

Until now, I can still clearly remember the faces of those who were not optimistic and ridiculed when [Tang Tan] just announced the project.

And the process of production and publicity was not smooth sailing, and every step was full of thorns and ups and downs.

Fortunately, we succeeded in the end. With everyone's efforts, we have contributed an excellent movie to the audience.

It also achieved unexpected great success.

This success belongs to everyone here, and to everyone who has worked hard for [Tang Tan].

Here I want to thank everyone again, thank you for your dedication to the film. "

After speaking, Gu Wei bowed deeply to the audience.

"Thank you director!"

"The director is the best~"

"."

Hearing what Gu Wei said, the people in the audience also shouted loudly.

Especially Chen He and Xiao Yan took the lead in shouting the most vigorously.

After Gu Wei finished speaking, the staff carried out a huge wooden board covered with red cloth from the backstage. It was rectangular, like a plaque, but much larger.

All the main actors in the crew came to the stage, and there were also three CEOs of the announcement company. Each of them grabbed the lower edge of the red cloth, and gently pulled off the red cloth under the staff's command "3~2~1!" .

A row of huge numbers is displayed on the wooden board, with a 1 in front and nine 9s behind it.

The box office of the representative film broke 10 billion.

Then everyone stood under the number and took a group photo.

"I don't need to say much, since it's a celebration banquet, everyone can eat, drink, and play to their heart's content, and do whatever they want.

Everyone present will have a red envelope for a while! ! "

"Thank the director for sending out the red envelope~"

"Long live the director!!"

"."

Without engaging in any formality, Gu Wei simply said a few words and let everyone open the table.

At the banquet, everyone was drinking and drinking, and Gu Wei, as the director, was of course the most attractive.

Almost everyone came over to toast him.

Of course, Gu Wei would not refuse anyone who came, but he just dipped in when others drank the whole cup.

"Mr. Gu, congratulations.

It turned out that when I worked with you, I only thought that you were a talent and could be successful, but I didn't expect the film to be so good and the box office to explode to such an extent. "

Wang Changtian came to Gu Wei's side and said with emotion.

"Where is it, Mr. Wang, this is not due to me alone, thanks to everyone's help.

The film also has credit for Mr. Wang. "

Gu Wei said modestly, he saw a middle-aged man in his 40s standing behind Wang Changtian, a little fat, with a pair of black eyes, giving the impression of an honest man.

"President Wang, who is this?"

Hearing Gu Wei's question, Wang Changtian smiled, turned sideways, and let the people behind him out.

"Let me introduce to Mr. Gu, this is director Tian Xiaopeng, a professional animation film director.

This time, he brought Director Tian here to make friends with Mr. Gu.

Director Tian is the best animation film director I have ever seen. He is currently producing a film, but unfortunately the funds are not enough. If Mr. Gu is interested, he can help. "

After listening to Wang Changtian's introduction, Gu Wei stretched out his hand.

"Hello Director Tian."

"Hello, Director Gu!

I love your movies and it was a great pleasure to meet you today. "

Tian Xiaopeng shook hands with Gu Wei, looking excited.

Also as a director, although Gu Wei is very young, his achievements are beyond Tian Xiaopeng's dream.

Gu Wei felt a little familiar when he heard the name.

"Director Tian, ​​may I ask, what is the name of the animation movie you are making now?"

"Director Gu, I served as the production supervisor of the domestic cartoon "Journey to the West" in 97. Since then, I have never forgotten the theme of "Journey to the West". Since six years ago, I have written, directed and prepared an animation film. It's called "The Return of the Great Sage of Journey to the West".

It is a shame that after years of hard work, due to financial problems, only a part of this animated film was produced. "

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Wei expectantly.

When Director Tian said the name of the animation movie, Gu Wei reacted.

Isn't this the "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", which claims to be the rise of domestic animation films?

It is said that during the 8-year production process, due to the extreme shortage of funds, the director even had to go to his wife, parents and even father-in-law to borrow money to prepare for the filming.

In the later period, I really ran out of money, so I followed the advice of my friends and went online to crowdfund through WeChat Moments.

In the end, it really allowed him to raise a total of 89 million yuan from 780 investors.

Now that Gu Wei has been found, it will definitely not be as difficult for him to make movies as it was in the original time and space.

"Director Tian, ​​I personally like animated movies very much. I still remember watching "Little Tadpole Looking for Mom" ​​and "Carp Jumping Dragon Gate" when I was a child, both of which are excellent ink animation movies produced in our own country.

It's a pity that in the past ten years, it has been difficult to have excellent works in animated films.

Like you, if you have time tomorrow, you can come to our company with some of the films that have already been produced, and I will decide whether to invest after I have seen them. "

Gu Wei didn't directly refuse, which made director Tian Xiaopeng very happy.

I can't wait to go back and prepare to shoot the film now.

Wang Changtian was also happy for Director Tian. He had watched part of "The Return of the Great Sage", so he invested part of the money in it.

However, there is no successful precedent for animated films in China, so he is more cautious about this investment, and it would be good to bring in more individuals to share the risk.

The celebration banquet came to an end in a very pleasant atmosphere.

The box office of the movie was a big hit, and everyone was given red envelopes as usual.

Among them, the red envelopes of producer Chen Zhixi, producer Lu Yang, and protagonist Wang Baoqiang are the biggest, which will definitely satisfy them.

And Gu Wei from Lu Yang's senior brother prepared an extra copy for him. [Tang Tan] In the early stage of preparation, if Lu Yang didn't have face, Zhongying might not have joined. Don't you forget the well digger?

Bao Qiang and Gu Wei promised that the first movie was so successful that he would be allowed to contribute part of the money as one of the investors in the sequel.

If you have money, do you all make money together? The success of [Tang Tan], Wang Baoqiang's role is indispensable. Substitution is definitely not enough, the only way is to spend more money to win him over.

When Xu Zheng filmed "囧囧 in Thailand", he found Wang Baoqiang.For Xu Zheng's sake, Wang Baoqiang, who was already famous at the time, only wanted 200 million yuan in salary.

Later, the movie sold 12 billion yuan, and Xu Zheng earned a lot of money.

Later [Hong Kong囧] found him again, and Wang Baoqiang proposed to use the film salary to invest in the stock, but Xu Zheng, who knew that the sequel would be a big hit, refused decisively, and found Bao Baier who only had a film salary of 500 million.

As a result, the word-of-mouth of [Hong Kong囧] plummeted.

Therefore, Gu Wei knows that money can never be exhausted. Only by leading everyone to make money together can he make more money and make money for a long time.
