China Entertainment's whatever you want

Chapter 67 News
[ByteDance] At this time, she is already well-known in the Internet circle.

This company was established in March 2012, and it was not until the second half of 3 that it developed its first product [Journal Toutiao].

As of now more than half a year.

As early as last year, Gu Wei wanted to find this company, find a way to invest and get shares.

It's a pity that Gu Wei didn't have much money at that time, let alone fame.In order to play the leading role, most of the first bucket of money was invested in Lu Yang's movies.

Fortunately, [ByteDance] has only been established for less than a year now, and only one round of financing has been raised.

In July 12, it raised USD 7 million and the company was valued at USD 100 million.

The high probability of this round of financing depends on the successful experience of the company founder Zhang Yiming before, and the fact that ByteDance's new product [Today's Toutiao] will be launched soon.

During this period, ByteDance was still a small company through and through, and the only product under its name [Today’s Toutiao] did not catch fire.

As for [Douyin] and [TikTok], which will become popular all over the world in the future, they will have to wait 16 and 17 years to go online.

Now is the best opportunity to invest in it. The first two rounds of investment in "Byte" are purely financial investments, and investors are only investment bank funds that often invest in Internet companies.

After this year, "Byte"'s "Today's Toutiao" became popular, and if you want to invest in it, you can't just have money, you have to come up with resources that can help the company's development.

As for the investment money, Gu Wei did not intend to take it from the film and television company.

Now there is not so much money in the company to invest.

[ByteDance] The valuation of the B round of financing in 13 was about 5000 million US dollars. At that time, a Russian investment company DST Global invested 1000 million US dollars in financing.

At this time, the market price of Bitcoin is about 600 dollars a piece, and it is still rising. Gu Wei has 10 pieces in his hand.

He plans to find a high point this year and sell some of it. Although Bitcoin will rise even higher in the next few years, it is incomparable with investing in [ByteDance].

After hanging up the phone, I thought that I also hope to become the boss of [ByteDance], even if it is only a small shareholder, but the future value is also an astronomical figure.

The smile on Gu Wei's face couldn't be controlled, and he looked very happy.

"Director, what's the good thing, so happy?" Xiao Yan was packing up his things and was about to leave after the play. Seeing Gu Wei smiling, he asked curiously.

After Gu Wei heard what he said, he looked around for a week, but everyone still hadn't left.

"The filming of the recent filming is very smooth, and the progress is very fast. Everyone has worked hard these days. In this way, you tell everyone that I will be the host tonight, and invite everyone to have a big meal and relax."

After hearing this, Xiao Yan shouted loudly

"The director said, invite everyone to a big meal later, everyone has a share!"

"Great!"

"amazing!"

"Long live the director~"

The crew cheered when they heard it, and the recent intense and busy filming really made everyone feel very tired.

"Director, do you want to go out to have a happy time after dinner?"

With a wretched smile on his face, Xiao Yan approached Gu Wei and asked in a low voice.

"You should go to Chen He, don't you two often get together, but be careful, don't play too late, you have to film tomorrow."

Gu Wei said.

When Xiao Yan and Chen He are not filming, they often go out together to experience the local customs and special services in Thailand.

Of course, the focus is on special services. They also invited Gu Wei before.

However, as the director, Gu Wei will definitely appear whenever the machine is turned on, so he definitely doesn't have time during the day.

It's a pity that he has an elder sister to accompany him at night, and he doesn't have time.

The two of them also approached Wang Baoqiang, but he was an honest boy, it was okay to go out to see the scenery, and he would not participate in anything else.

Poor Baoqiang has been filming in Thailand for so long, and his wife has never visited the set.

Occasionally, I made a video on the set, and hung up without chatting a few words. The most important thing is that the agent is not around. According to Baoqiang, there is cooperation to be discussed in China.

Thinking of this, when eating together at night, Gu Wei, who was sitting at the same table, couldn't help but add a few chopsticks of green leafy vegetables to Baoqiang, hoping that he would have a healthy body.

Bangkok is in the tropics and has a tropical monsoon climate. The average temperature throughout the year is around 30 degrees.

And it often rains.

The crew can stick to pure heat, but not when it rains. After all, there is no rain scene in the plot of "Detective Chinatown".

The originally arranged scenes may be changed due to sudden heavy rain.

It is not good to look at the weather forecast, because in many cases, an unexpected rain is not reported by the weather forecast.

Today was originally planned to shoot an outdoor chase scene, but it suddenly rained heavily early in the morning, and the chase scene definitely couldn't be scheduled.

Gu Wei made an impromptu decision, changed the room, and filmed another scene.

"Sawadika"

"Brother Tai, it's me~"

"Tang Ren, have you guys gone to Malaysia or Korea?"

"I'm at your door~"

"Ah ~ ah!"

Kuntai's house.

Xiao Yan covered his head with a towel and was wearing pajamas

"Why don't you go?"

"We have to prove our innocence" "We have to solve the case"

Tang Ren and Qin Feng were talking together
"Do you think this is a movie? Are you the return of the king?" Kuntai looked incomprehensible

"You have to help me!" Tang Ren begged
"I've run away for you~
I'll help you, my police, what to do! "Kuntai's emotions gradually became agitated.

"If they know that you take black money, open a small casino." Tang Ren began to talk about Kuntai's tricks
"How dare you threaten me?"

"Your wife needs to know that you take care of your little wife." Hearing this sentence, Kuntai's expression changed

"How can I help you?"

"We need to see Song Pa's detailed information." "And his consumption list for the past six months."

"We still have to go to the police station." Looking at the surveillance video, Qin Feng and Tang Ren said their requirements in one sentence.

"Are you crazy?" Hearing that they were going to the police station, Kuntai was very excited.

"You don't even have the wife of the director general," Tang Ren pointed to Kun Tai to continue.

Kuntai immediately stepped forward and grabbed Tang Ren's fingers with his hands, and said in a gentle tone.

"Let's make a plan~"

In this part of the scene, Qin Feng played by Gu Wei just echoed a few words on the sidelines, and the rest was mainly played by Wang Baoqiang and Xiao Wei.

It mainly depends on Xiao Yan's performance, the dramatic effect of this scene is all on him.

After shooting it again, Gu Wei hurried to the monitor to see the effect of the shooting just now.

After replaying the whole thing, Gu Wei called Wang Baoqiang and Xiao Yan over.

Let them watch the performance again.

"Brother Baoqiang, you have no problem, Xiao Yan, look, your reversal should be a little bigger.

You should be very excited when you heard the request from the two of us before, and then after hearing the last sentence of threat, your tone immediately became particularly gentle, so that the comedy effect is stronger. "

Xiao Yan thought about it

"I understand, director, you can watch my performance."

Going through the play again, this time Xiao Yan's performance was obviously more tense. According to Wei Wei's statement, the contrast between the expression and tone before and after was obvious, and the comedy effect was outstanding.

"Very good, this one is over, we will keep one."

Xiao Yan is a good actor with acting skills and talent. Gu Wei can see his hard work and progress since the filming of "Tang Detective" started until now.

I didn't quite adapt to the style of the role at the beginning, but then I gradually integrated into the role and discovered something by myself.

After all, Gu Wei's scripts are just words. Some conceptual words written on paper, such as happiness, excitement, guilty conscience, etc., still need to be understood by the actors themselves, and then interpret them according to their own methods.

By the time the movie was filmed, Xiao Yan had already grasped the role of Kuntai thoroughly, and slowly added some of his expressions and small movements during the filming.

Gu Wei sees these clearly as a director.

On the other hand, Chen He, who is similar to Xiao Yan in the role, although he is also very good at acting, but only because the character image of Huang Landeng is more suitable for him, he can't feel his ambition in acting, because he can play himself, so he is handy.
