China Entertainment's whatever you want

Chapter 212 Entering the Group 【Monster Hunt】

Early the next morning, Gu Wei left Zeng Li's house and went to the company first to deal with some urgent matters.

"Mr. Gu, your endorsement expired last year. Now some merchants have negotiated the price with us, and the contract will be signed soon."

In the office, Yang Liwen handed Gu Wei a report and said.

"Colgate, Semir, Rejoice, Lay's Potato Chips, Yida Chewing Gum, Baicaowei, Master Kong Iced Tea, and Mosen Glasses all agreed to our quotation, 8 million a year.

Joyoung Soymilk Maker, Liushen and Bosideng, who have cooperated before, still feel that our current quotation is a bit high.

After all, the price of your endorsement fee was only 500 million last year, and it will double this year. They can't accept it. "

Gu Wei took the report, looked at it, and said:

"It's fine if you can't accept it. Is endorsement a two-way choice? If you think the price is high, then terminate the cooperation."

Yang Liwen nodded slightly.

"Understood, I will convey your thoughts to these three manufacturers.

In addition to these spokespersons who have been cooperating with them, there are many new manufacturers coming to the door.

I have screened, and the remaining L'Oreal Homme, KFC, and Tuborg can be added to your current endorsement list. "

"Very good, these companies are all good, they can be added, but the endorsement time must be signed for one year, if you don't agree, forget it."

"clear."

After dealing with some things in the company in the morning, Gu Wei, who got the news of this year's endorsement from his agent, is in a good mood, and he has achieved a small goal again.

In the afternoon, Gu Wei took his small team and drove to the Beijing Huairou Film and Television Base.

Huairou Film and Television Base, also known as China Film Capital, is located in Yangsong Town, HR District. It is a comprehensive tourist area with functions such as film and television shooting, post-production, entertainment and leisure, and sightseeing.

TV dramas such as "A Dream of Red Mansions", "My Fair Princess", "The Mansion Gate", "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" have all been filmed here.

In 2008, the National China Film Digital Production Base was established here.

This enables Huairou Film and Television Base to have the ability to carry out digital film production.

Gu Wei and his party came to the studio of "Monster Hunt".

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, I joined the group too late and delayed the filming."

After entering the door, he met Jiang Zhiqiang, the boss of Anle Film Co., Ltd., Gu Wei stepped forward, shook hands, and said repeatedly.

Originally, the appointment with An Le was at the beginning of January, but because Gu Wei's schedule could not be adjusted, he had to negotiate with this side to postpone his joining the group by a few days.

If it's true, Gu Wei wouldn't count as a missed appointment, after all, he got the consent of this side after coordinating the time with the crew again.

"Haha, Gu Wei, you are finally here. The director and I have been waiting for you. Now that the leading actor is in place, our movie can officially start."

Jiang Zhiqiang was very enthusiastic and said with a smile.

Boss Jiang of Anle Film Co., Ltd. is well-known in the mainland entertainment industry.

As early as 2000, he served as the producer of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and later cooperated with Zhang Yimou to serve as the producer of "Heroes", "Ambush from Ten Daggers", and "Golden Armor in the City" and other major productions .

Back then, he knew the eight major Hollywood film companies like the back of his hand, and he was No.1 in the overseas distribution of Chinese films.

【Time】magazine once called Jiang Zhiqiang an "Asian hero". It can be said that he single-handedly created the "blockbuster era" of Chinese movies.

He is a person who likes to pursue innovation and change, this time "Monster Hunt" is another attempt of his.

It's just bad luck to meet Ke Zhendong.

Fortunately, Gu Wei, the hottest domestic entertainment niche, has been invited to save the scene. Although the cost has increased, in Jiang Zhiqiang's view, Gu Wei's reputation and box office appeal far exceed Ke Zhendong.

It's a blessing in disguise, maybe this substitution will be a good thing for the movie.

Jiang Zhiqiang led Gu Wei to the director Xu Chengyi.

Xu Chengyi is also small, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a refined appearance.

But Gu Wei didn't dare to underestimate the director at all.

Director Xu is a Chinese-American and has never made a movie in China, but anyone who knows him will not doubt his talent, because he used to be the director of "Shrek" and "Kung Fu Panda".

"Hello, Director Xu, please take care of me when we meet for the first time."

"Hello."

Looking at the tall and handsome Gu Wei in front of him, Director Xu's attitude was also very kind.

[Monster Hunt] He has already filmed once from beginning to end, and now he is going to film the second time. It is impossible to say that there is no complaint in his heart.

But there is no way, Mr. Jiang and him have made the stakes clear, and the movie will definitely not be released without a remake, and the investment of more than 2 million yuan will be in vain.

Although difficult, this is the only way to solve the problem.

Changing the new male lead to Gu Wei was also a decision he made after discussing with Jiang Zhiqiang. Although he is an American, Director Xu was born on Hong Kong Island. He went to the United States to work hard after university, and then became an American citizen.

In the past two years in China, he can also feel Gu Wei's popularity in the entertainment circle, and his popularity is not inferior to the four early kings of Hong Kong Island.

And in terms of personal image, Gu Wei also far surpasses the original Ke Zhendong.

"Director Xu, it's the first time I've made a movie of the form of [Monster Hunt], and I still need your director's guidance during the filming."

Gu Wei said modestly.

He had watched the original version of "Monster Hunt". At that time, from the perspective of an ordinary audience, he just thought this movie was very interesting. In addition to real people, there were monsters in the form of animation special effects, and the visual effect was very good.

Now Gu Wei is also a member of the film and television industry, especially as a director himself, he knows how different making this kind of movie is from ordinary movies.

For actors, it is a completely new attempt and challenge.

"It's easy to say, easy to say.

If you have any questions, you can ask me directly, or you can communicate with our heroine Bai Baihe.

She has already done it once, and she must be very familiar with the second shooting this time. "

After chatting with Gu Wei for a while, Director Xu brought Bai Baihe and introduced him to Gu Wei.

The two are the male and female protagonists of the movie. In the next month, the main shooting will be the scenes between them. Getting acquainted with them first will also benefit the cooperation later.

Bai Baihe was wearing the costume of a demon-hunting master in the movie, with fair skin and a slender figure.

She has a standard oval face, with exquisite features, looks delicate and delicate, she is a standard beauty with light complexion.

Bai Baihe joined the group a few days earlier than Gu Wei, so she didn't take some shots of herself or other supporting actors in the same frame.

Seeing Gu Wei standing next to the director, the smile on Bai Baihe's face became brighter.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Gu Wei felt that her eyes lit up when she saw him.

"Lily, let me introduce you, this is Gu Wei, the male patron of our movie.

This beautiful lady is Bai Baihe, who plays the heroine. "

Director Xu introduced the two of them separately.

"Hello, Gu Wei, I have watched your movies and TV series, and I like your performance very much.

It's a pleasure to work with you this time. "

Bai Baihe stretched out her hand to Gu Wei with a smile on her face, expressing a warm welcome to his arrival.

"Hi, I've watched [33 Days of Broken Relationship] too, your acting skills are amazing!"

Gu Wei also shook hands with her politely.

I don't know if it was Gu Wei's illusion, but when the two shook hands and let go, Gu Wei felt Bai Baihe's finger lightly stroke his palm.

"Gu Wei, let Lily take you to familiarize yourself with the venue today, and start filming your scenes tomorrow.

Lily, I'm sorry to trouble you, I'll go to work first. "

After speaking, Director Xu waved his hands to them and walked away. As the director of the crew, he is very busy.

Gu Wei has joined the team, and many shots need to be re-shot, but some shots shot a year ago are still usable.

In order to make the combination of these old shots and the new shots look consistent, Jiang Zhiqiang specially invited a professional special effects team in the United States to do the post-production part.

These people also need to be approached by Director Xu who has worked in Hollywood.
