China Entertainment's whatever you want

Chapter 259 It’s impossible to be a match

"Love you walking alone in a dark alley
I love you without kneeling

love you confronted with despair

Don't want to cry."

It is said that the most useful way to make someone hate a song is to set it as your ringtone.

Since the song was released, [Lonely Warrior] has become Gu Wei’s cell phone ringtone.

Recently, he has considered whether to use another song as the ringtone.

Gu Wei, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, was awakened by the singing. He rubbed his slightly aching head, reached out and took the phone on the bedside, and looked at the time, it was already past 10 o'clock in the morning.

Yesterday, the filming of [Xiu Chun Knife 2] officially wrapped up, and a wrapping banquet was held in the evening.

Gu Wei drank a few more drinks under the toasts of everyone, and exercised a lot when he came back in the evening, so he slept until the morning of the next day.

After seeing the name of the person on the caller ID, Gu Wei cleared his throat and picked up the phone.

"Han Dong, I'm Gu Wei."

The person who called was none other than Han Sanping, the chairman of China Film Group.

"Gu Wei, did you disturb your rest?"

"No, [Xiu Chun Dao 2] just wrapped up yesterday, and today I am preparing to pack up and return to Beijing.

Dong Han, what do you want from me? "

Some wonder why Han Sanping called him at this time.

There are two and a half projects that he is cooperating with China Film Group. The filming of "Xiu Chun Knife 2" has been completed, and the post-production is the director Lu Yang's business, which has nothing to do with him.

[Detective Chinatown 2] He has promised to maintain China Film’s share of investment in the first film, but how much of the 10% investment will need to be discussed further.

After all, 100% of this second film is to make a lot of money. Except for the master-controlled [Wei Mingxia], other investors need to pay a premium.

However, the premium depends on how many other resources the investor can provide. If there are more other resources, the premium will be less, and if there are less, the premium will be more.

This is the case for China Film, Enlight, and Wanda, and they have no objections to this.

Everyone is optimistic about the future box office of "Tang Detective 2", and the most optimistic one is Wang Changtian of Guangguang, who now has a huge trust in Gu Wei.

It is not a problem that [Tang Detective 2] surpasses the current box office champion [Fast and Furious 7].

The other half of the project is the script "The Road of Life" written by Han Sanping's daughter Han Jianu. The script has been revised several times and is becoming more and more perfect.

Gu Wei expressed his attitude and promised to pay for the filming of this movie.

Han Sanping didn't let China Film participate in the investment in order to avoid suspicion, but after all, it was his daughter's script. If there were any problems during the later filming and release, he would definitely help solve them, so it was considered a half project of cooperation.

"I heard that the [Great Wall] crew asked you to play a role two days ago, but you rejected it?"

Han Sanping asked gently on the other end of the phone.

"Director Han, I really don't have time, my subsequent filming schedule is very full~"

Gu Wei explained.

In fact, the production crew of [The Great Wall] gave Gu Wei the role played by Lu Han in the original version, but Gu Wei read the script they sent, and he saw more roles than the original version.

Presumably in order to invite him, a lot of drama was added to that character.

But Gu Wei is really not interested in supporting a Hollywood star, even Matt Damon.

He himself is famous and has resources, so he can't afford to take the initiative to befriend Zhang Yimou.

With his box office appeal, if there is a suitable role, Lao Mouzi will definitely take the initiative to find him. Even if he can't think of it, the management will give him advice. After all, no one has trouble with money.

Moreover, although the box office of "The Great Wall" is good, its reputation is not good, which is also in line with its status as a co-production film.

All co-productions, no matter whether it is China-US, China-Japan, or China-Korea, basically do not do well, either at the box office or with extremely poor reputation, without exception.

So Gu Wei declined the invitation without hesitation.

Han Sanping on the other side of the phone paused after hearing Gu Wei's words.

"I know you are very busy right now, with a full schedule.

It's just that the film "The Great Wall" is very important to China Film.

If you really don’t want to play an important role, can you come over and make a guest appearance as a friendly guest star?

It's only a day or two, and it won't delay your other things.

Do me a favor. "

Han Sanping really wanted Gu Wei to play in "The Great Wall", but he didn't use his status to overwhelm others, but sincerely asked Gu Wei for help.

"Third Master, you have said so, how can I refuse?"

Gu Wei said with a wry smile.

He finally understood what it was like to film for favors, but with his fame and status he still couldn't completely avoid this situation.

He had to give Han Sanping face. Regardless of his status as the chairman of China Film and Television, Gu Wei had been taken care of by him since his debut. From "Xiu Chun Dao" to "Detective Chinatown", if he hadn't been optimistic about Gu Wei, The filming and release of the movie will not go so smoothly either.

Because of his existence, Gu Wei blocked the hostility of many other film and television companies. Without China Film, when [Tang Tan] and Feng Xiaogang's [Private Order] were fighting in the ring, Huayi Brothers might have some tricks.

"Haha~ I'm sorry to trouble you this time, just tell me if you have anything to do in the future.

Although I am older, I am still a bit thin in the circle. As long as it is not a matter of principle, I will help you with whatever I can. "

Han Sanping smiled and promised.

"Third Master, you are too polite. Ms. Han and I have another film to cooperate with. We are all on our own."

In exchange for Han Sanping's promise to star in "The Great Wall" in friendship, the relationship between the two has also gone a step further, which is not a loss.

After a few more polite words, Gu Wei hung up the phone.Yang Mi, who was lying on his side, was awakened by Gu Wei's call.

Her white and tender little hands were placed on Gu Wei's strong chest, and a round and slender thigh was riding on Gu Wei's body, her body was tightly attached to his side, her sleeping appearance was not very good.

"Who is calling you so early?"

Yang Mi opened his sleepy eyes and frowned slightly, like a lazy cat.

"It's past 10 o'clock, Miss Mi."

The hand that was placed on Gu Wei's chest scratched out of habit. The touch of the muscles was very good, and the slender hand slid down naturally.

"It's not even noon yet, the filming is over, of course we need to take a good rest.

In the early morning, who is disturbing people's lucid dreams? "

"Han Sanping from China Film Group~"

The corner of Gu Wei's mouth raised slightly and said.

"Han Sanping?"

Yang Mi muttered something in a low voice, and then exclaimed:
"The chairman of China Film Group, Mr. Han, the mountain eagle?"

"Next time I see Director Han, do you want to tell him about you calling him a mountain eagle?"

Gu Wei said to Yang Mi with a smile.

"Uh~ slip of the tongue, definitely a slip of the tongue.

I have always admired Han Dong very much, and I have been hearing about his deeds before, but it is a pity that I have only one side. "

Yang Mi added.

"Do you have any other projects to cooperate with China Film?"

She knew that one of the producers of the just-finished [Xiu Chun Knife 2] was China Film, and it seemed that Gu Wei had a good relationship with China Film since he entered the circle.

But Han Sanping called him personally, which still surprised Yang Mi. He was the chairman of China Film Group and one of the most powerful people in the entertainment industry.

"The blockbuster "The Great Wall" co-produced by China and the United States asked me to play a role, but I rejected it.

Director Han wanted me to come over and play a cameo, which can be regarded as a friendly performance. "

As soon as Gu Wei's words fell, Yang Mi's hands tightened as he listened, and Gu Wei couldn't help gasping.

"Sister Mi, take it easy and take care of your own happiness."

Gu Wei frowned and blurted out.

"I'm sorry~ What you just said shocked me."

Yang Mi apologized repeatedly.

"Is it the Hollywood blockbuster [The Great Wall] directed by Zhang Yimou?"

she asked again.

"Yes, this is probably the only movie named [The Great Wall] in China right now."

Gu Wei said nonchalantly.

"You even rejected this movie, what do you think?"

Yang Mi's voice raised a little, and she was very puzzled.

"The role given to me at the beginning was just a big supporting role with a little more role. The real protagonist of this show is Matt Damon. It's not interesting to play him as a supporting role."

Gu Wei explained.

"you really"

Yang Mi really didn't say anything after that for a long time.

"I don't even know how to say hello to you. For a movie of this level, all domestic actors are eager to participate. Even just showing their faces will be bragging rights in the future. Why don't you cherish it at all?"

Yang Mi felt heartbroken for Gu Wei's behavior of wasting resources. If she could get an invitation, even if it was only a few scenes for a line, she would not give up.

A movie of this level and directed by Zhang Yimou is the top resource she dreams of.

"It's been said that I'm not the leading role, and the movie doesn't have my investment, so it's not worth playing a big supporting role for the few paychecks.

Even if it's "The Great Wall", I don't think my other movies are necessarily worse than it. "

What Gu Wei said was the truth.

"Then did you agree to be a friendly star later?"

"Well, the invitation sent to me by the crew was rejected, but Director Han called himself, so I have to give him face.

Fortunately, he was very considerate of me and helped me change my role into a guest appearance. "

Gu Wei is actually quite satisfied with the revised cameo appearance, and it is more cost-effective to gain popularity without wasting time.

“[Left Ear] Afterwards, your box office appeal was seen by everyone, and it is a bit exaggerated to rely on your own efforts to bring the box office of a small-budget film to more than 7 million.

Han Dongfei wants you to participate in the show to use your influence to promote it so that more people can enter the theater. "

Yang Mi analyzed.

Gu Wei also understands this very well, he is now like the future Shen Teng, any comedy movie, as long as he participates in it, it will definitely attract a large number of audiences to watch the movie.

Afterwards, the Happy Twist team lost their face, no matter what they filmed, they would bring Shen Teng over for a while, even if there were only a few supporting roles in a few scenes, they would be promoted as the leading roles.

There is even a movie "The Hotel Where the Sun Never Sets" starring Huang Cailun. Shen Teng himself does not appear at all. There is only a paper figure of his image in the movie.

"The investment in [Great Wall] is said to be US$1.5 million. The cost is too high. I can understand what Director Han did."
