China Entertainment's whatever you want

Chapter 219 The main focus is a willfulness

There is a lot of snow in the northern winter this year, and there will always be a big or small snowfall every now and then.

Today was no exception. It was cloudy in the morning, and then slowly, snowflakes fell from the sky. Fortunately, the wind was not strong, and the snow was relatively sparse. It was a light snow.

This bit of snow is nothing to the people who work and live in the capital, they are used to it.

The thin layer of snow falling on the ground seems to have covered the city in winter with a layer of tulle, which is beautiful and elegant.

The auspicious snow heralds a good year, and it seems that 2015 will be a bumper year.

A high-end private kitchen in an alley in Beijing.

In a small box, there is a square mahogany dining table in the middle, and four long wooden benches around it. In the middle of the dining table, there is a cloisonne copper hot pot like Donglaishun. The soup in the hot pot is about to boil. .

Dishes to be rinsed are placed around the hot pot, including fresh cut beef and mutton slices, winter bamboo shoots, lettuce, potatoes, yam, kelp, lotus root and other vegetables, as well as fish balls, fresh shellfish, oysters, sea prawns, cod fillets and other seafood .

The dishes are very rich, but there are not many of them, and a small plate is filled with a whole table.

The box is surrounded by wooden decoration accessories, although it is exquisite, it looks a bit old-fashioned.

There was a small window diagonally across from Gu Wei, and he could see the snowflakes falling slowly in the yard outside, but the sky in the distance had gradually cleared up, and it seemed that the light snow would stop soon.

The door of the box was opened from the outside, and a somewhat bloated figure walked in.

He was wearing a dark purple long-length down jacket, a black wool hat on his head, and a white mask on his face. This set of equipment is very cold and warm, but it looks no different from the dress of a middle-aged aunt on the street.

"I tried to arrive as early as possible, but I didn't expect it to be later than you~"

A crisp and pleasant voice came from inside the mask.

The person who came took off his hat and mask, revealing a beautiful face. No one could have imagined that there would be such a beautiful woman in this rustic dress.

I swept the snow that fell on the down coat with my hands, then took off the coat, and hung the down coat and hat on the hanger in the corner.

He turned around and sat down opposite Gu Wei.

"If I invite you to dinner, if I can't come before you, is that still reasonable?
Besides, it is important for men to arrive early, so that beauties cannot be kept waiting. "

Gu Wei looked at Liu Yifei's moist and fair face opposite him and said.

Liu Yifei, who had taken off her down coat, was wearing a gray sweater. It was a solid color dress without any patterns or embellishments. Only a small part of the collar was turned outward, exposing her fair and slender neck.

To be honest, regarding Liu Yifei's clothes, Gu Wei wanted to complain every time they met.

As a first-line star in China, the "fairy sister" in the hearts of a generation, this person usually wears casual clothes, maybe just pick up a few pieces that fit in the closet at home and go out. There is no such thing as a top-notch beauty. clothes consciously.

For other female stars, which one should not properly match their clothes before going out, even if they are private clothes, they should not be casual, for fear of making themselves look ugly, or being ridiculed for their rustic clothes.

Only this elder sister never cared about these things. Fortunately, her appearance is really good, and even if she wears rustic clothes, it is like going to a fashion week.

"It doesn't matter, I don't care about these things, it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later, even if you make me wait."

After sitting down, Liu Yifei straightened her hair and said.

Gu Wei watched her stretch out his hand to tie up her loose hair, the skin where her face and neck were connected was so white that it seemed to be glowing.

Although I have known Liu Yifei for more than 2 years, I am amazed every time I see her.

This face is really a godsend.

"What are you looking at?"

After finishing her hair, Liu Yifei looked at Gu Wei and said.

"Sister Yifei seems to be beautiful again~"

Hearing Gu Wei's praise, the corners of Liu Yifei's mouth curled up slightly.

"Nonsense, you will say something to make girls happy.

It's not wrong to say that you are a scumbag on the Internet. "

"Really! Didn't you notice that your skin has turned white recently? I really think you are a little fairer than when we met last time."

Gu Wei said with some injustice.

Seeing that he was serious about what he said, Liu Yifei couldn't help being a little suspicious.

She stretched out her hand to stroke her face, and asked with some uncertainty.

"Really? I've been at home recently. I don't have a job, and I don't go out much."

"It may be that you haven't gone out for a long time, and the sun is relatively weak in winter now, so your skin has changed."

"It's possible."

Today, Gu Wei asked Liu Yifei out for dinner. When Gu Wei was promoting his new song and movie the day before yesterday, Liu Yifei was the first to repost his Weibo on the Internet to help him promote it. Gu Wei deserves this favor.

If she hadn't started this thread, other friends would probably not have helped forward it.

Of course, the second helper, Yang Mi, is also very important. The promotion of the two most popular female stars has brought traffic.

Gu Wei on Yang Mi's side has already called her, thanked her verbally, and promised her many conditions, and Gu Wei will naturally try to fulfill them when the two meet.

On Liu Yifei's side, Gu Wei invited her out to meet and thank her in person, and the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they just took this opportunity to get together.

The bottom soup of the copper hot pot was completely boiling, Gu Wei picked up some sliced ​​meat and vegetables and put them into the pot.

"I ordered some meat, vegetables and seafood. If you want to eat anything, let's add more."

Liu Yifei also started to put some of her favorite food into the pot.

"That's enough. We can't eat any more. It's a waste. I don't have any taboos. These are fine."

In winter, it is really a very happy thing to invite one or two friends to have a hot hot pot meal around the table in snowy weather.

Especially if this friend is a beautiful woman, the experience will be even better.

Liu Yifei didn't care too much about her image when eating hot pot. She and Gu Wei had known each other for a long time. When the two of them were filming together on the set, they often ate their boxed lunches face to face.

She put a slice of mutton into her bowl, dipped it in a bit of the prepared sauce, and ate it in one bite.

"Hmm~ His mutton is very fresh and chewy, praise!"

Gu Wei was also eating and looked up at her.

"Actually, the owner of his house does not cook hot pot, but private dishes, but I think the weather is more suitable for hot pot today, so I chose this one.

It turns out that I always go to Donglaishun when I eat hot pot with my friends. His hot pot is very authentic. When I was in school, I always went to eat with my classmates.

It's a pity that I asked Miss Yifei to come out for dinner. I can't go. It's too easy for us to show up and get photographed. It will definitely be the No. 1 hot search.

I can only come to this relatively hidden private restaurant. "

Liu Yifei took another piece of lettuce and put it in the bowl.

"Hehe~ It's not my fault, it's just that someone is too popular, and there are so many scandals, so naturally he doesn't dare to show his face."

"I don't care about being reported by the media, the main reason is that I am afraid of ruining your reputation, Sister Yifei."

"It's strange to believe you~"

The two chatted while eating, and Gu Wei raised a glass of juice in his hand.

"Sister Yifei, I respect you, thank you for helping me promote on Weibo!"

Gu Wei said sincerely.

"It's nothing, I also listened to the song you posted, it's really nice, and the animated movie looks good too.

It's a little effort, just forwarded it for you, don't be too polite. "

"Your little effort has helped me a lot!"

Liu Yifei smiled and was no longer humble. She really liked Gu Wei's songs, and of course she was very happy to be able to help Gu Wei.

"By the way, how did you come up with the idea of ​​being a producer of a cartoon?
I remember that you haven't set foot in the field of animated films before. "

Liu Yifei asked with some doubts, it's normal for Gu Wei to release a new song, but the movie was shot well, and she suddenly became a producer of a cartoon, which surprised her a little.

"Speaking of which, this is also a coincidence."

Gu Wei took a sip of his drink, looked at Liu Yifei's curious face, and explained.

“[The Return of the Great Sage] was an animated film that was recommended to me by Mr. Wang of Enlight Media at the celebration party of [Tang Tan] at the beginning of 14.

At that time, the animation film was in a state of suspension due to lack of funds, but the money of the previous investors had been spent, and only a small part of the film was produced.

At this time, the original investors are unwilling to continue to invest money in it. Everyone is afraid that this is a bottomless pit, and they will lose everything in the end.They stopped losses in time one after another and refused to pay any more.

Even Wang Changtian himself, although he was very optimistic about this film, but considering the current situation of domestic animation box office and the company's management at that time, he no longer invested in it, but brought director Tian Xiaopeng to me for alms. "

"Since you are now a producer, you must have agreed to invest money at that time, right?"

Gu Wei smiled.

"That's right, [Tang Tan] sold for 10 billion at that time, Mr. Wang knew that I had money, so he brought people to me to try his luck.

I got in touch with Director Tian, ​​looked at some of the films he made, and readily agreed to invest. "

"People are not optimistic about the project, and even the boss of Guangguang Media is unwilling to continue investing. How dare you continue to invest in it?"

"Because I have seen some of the finished films, and they are really good. The quality of the films far exceeds our other domestic animated films, and they can already be compared with some animated films of Hollywood and Disney.

Others dare not invest because the current domestic animation films are generally not good, and the audience does not recognize them.

But I think it would be a pity if such a good film was aborted due to lack of funds.

Fortunately, I am not short of that little money. Even if I lose money in the end, it can be considered as a contribution to the Chinese animation film industry. We can’t let Disney’s films occupy our own animation film market all the time.

Of course, I have confidence in the quality of this film, and I think the chances of a big hit at the box office are still very high. "

Of course Gu Wei knew that with the quality of "The Return of the Great Sage", it would definitely be a hit.

But he can't say that he has read the answer, he can only explain that he supports the development of domestic animation films, and he is not short of money.

After listening to Gu Wei's words, Liu Yifei looked at him with a little admiration.

People with lofty goals and dedication are often admired, because everyone can't achieve it, so they will naturally respect those who can.

No one wants to waste their own money. Gu Wei can take this risk just to make better domestic animation films, regardless of personal gains and losses. This naturally won Liu Yifei's favor.

"Then how much money did you invest in it later?"

"When director Tian came to me, [The Return of the Great Sage] had already cost 4000 million yuan. I injected capital twice in the later stage to make the film perfectly. In addition to the publicity funds before the film was released, I got a total of 6000 million yuan. [-] million.

Now the total cost of [The Return of the Great Sage] is exactly 1 million. "

"Pfft~"

The juice Liu Yifei just drank into his mouth almost spit out.

"So many~"

She began to subconsciously think that Gu Wei might have invested 800 million yuan, after all, it was just a cartoon, but she didn't expect that he invested 6000 million yuan, and the total investment for a cartoon was actually 1 million yuan.

What Gu Wei said to her is naturally not watery. The 1 million must be real money spent, unlike some movies that claim to have an investment of 2 million. In fact, it does not matter whether the money actually spent is 1 million Not necessarily, for the big investment blown out at the box office.

要知道在14年5月发布的2014年福布斯【中国名人榜】上，根据收入和曝光率统计了100名中国名人，排名第7的湾湾第一美女林芝玲，她的年收入正好就是6000万。

Although Liu Yifei is famous, his income for the whole of last year was less than 6000 million.

Her income mainly depends on film remuneration and advertising endorsements, and she rarely does commercial performances. Last year, she made two films, and the combined remuneration was only more than 1000 million.

Many advertising endorsements are signed every two years. Last year, most of the manufacturer's endorsements had not yet expired, so her income in 14 was not high.

Of course, this list only counts the income of celebrities in entertainment industry activities such as film and television works, advertising endorsements, sports, competitions, book publishing, etc. Personal investment and operating income is not included.

"How, it's okay, the money was actually used in the production of the movie, I think it's worth it!"

Gu Wei said indifferently.

"Hehe~ It seems that when we first met, my evaluation of you was not wrong at all.

When Mr. Gu entered the filming industry, he didn't take money as money at all. He focused on self-willedness!
From your first film casting for [Xiu Chun Dao], to spending your own money to make [Tang Tan], and now casting for this animated film, your style really hasn’t changed at all! "

"Haha~ Sister Yifei, you are joking, I just do what I think is right."

After eating two mouthfuls of food, Liu Yifei said again.

"I'll go home later, I'll help you promote it online, don't pay too much then."

Liu Yifei is still a little worried about Gu Wei, after all, this amount of money is not a small number for a first-line star.

Moreover, the current box office record of domestic animated films is about 2 million, which means that as long as the film does not break the record, it will definitely lose money.

Seeing Liu Yifei worried about her, Gu Wei looked happy.

"No need, Sister Yifei, I've done everything I can for publicity, and I just have to wait for the movie to be released in a few days to see the results.

Don't worry, whenever I do something that loses money, you have to have confidence in me. "

"Well, I hope your choice is still correct this time~"

Seeing Gu Wei's confident face, Liu Yifei couldn't say anything.

　And at night
