292. Let's talk about some fun
() Say it's open, it's open.
On the afternoon of the next day, Gu Meng held a barbecue dinner on the lawn of Ziyuntai Villa.
In the evening, the setting sun shines on the quiet Repulse Bay, sparkling like a layer of rose petals on the sea.
On the green hill next to it, there were bursts of cheerful music, mixed with laughter, and people were buzzing.
The party in the Purple Cloud Terrace Villa has begun.
Music, food, dance, beauty, wine, hundreds of people shuttle back and forth on the lawn.
The guests were mainly employees and artists of the crafting company, as well as the God of Gamblers movie crew.
At present, the company has only three business divisions, music, film, and artist.
The music department centered on Dai Zhicheng has the largest number of people, more than 30 people, most of whom are Hong Kong people from Moss Wan, responsible for the production and promotion of the album.
The film department is a stall that has just been set up, and there are Orientals, Hong Kong people, and mainlanders who come to study, and there are all kinds of people.
The artist department is mainly in charge of Sister Deng, and there are not many people, but there are many familiar faces.
The boundaries of the three departments are clear, and there is a faint sense of confrontation.
"Mr. Gu, let me introduce to you, this is Zhang Guohao, who is in charge of the Moss Bay Market."
"This is Ms. Liu Rui, the manager of the Propaganda Department"
"This is the Finance Department..."
On the lawn, under the introduction of Dai Zhicheng and Sister Deng, Gu Meng met the heads of various departments of the company.
These people are the backbone of Dai Zhicheng from various companies, and everyone is here for money.
Gu Meng didn't talk nonsense, and directly said that everyone had worked hard, and 20,000 red envelopes per person attracted a group of people with smiles and sycophants.
"Gu Meng, this is Mr. Wang Jin, the director of "God of Gamblers", and the two leading actors, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Liu..."
After getting to know the company's people, Gu Meng met the directors and stars who cooperated with the company this time, including the obscene fat director Wang, as well as the most popular Zhou Runfa and the up-and-coming Liu Dehua in the past two years.
All three of them are directors and artists under Shaw Brothers Films.
Wang Jin is the cub of the great director Wang Tianlin, a screenwriter, director, and producer, and he is a very talented person.
In 81, Wang Jinkai filmed a gambling film "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", which achieved good box office results, which is the reason why he can become the director of the God of Gamblers.
Zhou Yunfa filmed "The True Color of Heroes" the year before last, which became popular in Southeast Asia and won a gold award.
Last year, he became the Golden Horse Award actor with the film "Autumn Fairy Tale".
At present, he, Chen Yuanlong, and Xu Guanwen are the most valuable actors in Xiangjiang.
After three years of cold reception, Liu Dehua re-signed a contract with Wireless, and is currently developing in the music and film industry, and his popularity is just around the corner.
Gu Meng is very greedy for these three, but the price of digging up three people is too great.
Shaw Brothers is the leader of the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, and its businesses include television, film and television, music, radio, etc., with TV stations and film bases, and its strength is much stronger than craftsmanship.
I can't afford to offend for the time being, and there is no need to offend.
There are too many people in Xiangjiang who lack opportunities, so why cling to them?
No, after seeing a group of big stars, Gu Meng saw a very familiar person standing in the corner of the banquet, he touched his trouser leg, made a few handshake gestures, and talked to himself, as if to say, 'Hello Mr. Gu, my name is Zhou Xingchi, you call me...'.
This is the famous star master Zhou Xingchi.
Last year, Xing Ye's contract with wireless expired, he did not renew the contract, and became a free man, he has been training in wireless for eight years, and has also starred in two movies and TV series, but he has been unknown and can't find a way out.
According to the trajectory of the previous life, this year he will meet his nobleman in a dance hall, Boss Li of the Universal Movie, who played a small supporting role in "Thunderbolt Pioneer", so he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, and since then he has ushered in a turning point in his acting career.
But under Gu Meng's intervention, Dai Zhicheng came to the door in advance on behalf of Craft Films, and signed a six-year contract with him for 1 million, at least one movie protagonist a year.
Zhou Xingchi has struggled in wireless for eight years and has not earned 100,000 yuan, encountered a big contract of 1 million, and has the opportunity to be the protagonist, how could he let it go?
So he smoothly entered the craft and became someone Gu's bag.
Gu Meng smiled slightly, walked over and took the initiative to greet: "Hello Mr. Zhou, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Belch?
Zhou Xingchi was Spartan at that time, and shook his stiff arm with him, with an awkward smile on his face.
"Ha aha, hello Mr. Gu, my name is Zhou Xingchi, and Mr. Gu just calls me Xingzai"
Gu Meng nodded, "Xingzai, let's go sit down!"
"Good!"
The two came to a white beach table and sat down, Gu Meng chose some barbecue, steak, seafood, and fruits, and the two chatted while eating.
Gu Meng pointed to Fa Ge, who was surrounded by everyone, and asked, "Xingzai, do you want to be a superstar like Fa Ge?"
Zhou Xingchi looked at Fa Ge, who was glowing in the crowd, and shook his head, "I don't want to!"
Belch?
This time it was Gu Meng's turn to be in a daze, according to the routine, Zhou Xingchi Ying said that he wanted to encourage himself again, arouse the other party's fighting spirit, and the two worked together for a win-win situation, how perfect.
"You're an actor, why don't you want to be a superstar?" Gu Meng asked strangely.
Zhou Xingchi retracted his gaze and smiled lightly, "What about becoming a superstar? I am still called around, in fact, I want to be a person like Mr. Gu, I want money and status."
"Very interesting answer!"
Gu Meng smiled, picked up his wine glass and said seriously: "Mr. Zhou, you will succeed, I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future!"
"Thank you!"
Hearing his words, Zhou Xingchi was slightly excited, this can be regarded as a kind of recognition, a kind of respect, what little people need most is to be respected.
Then the two chatted about some things in the movie, and Zhou Xingchi mainly has two plays this year.
One is the little supporting role Crow in "God of Gamblers".
One is the protagonist of "Truant Dragon".
The God of Gamblers has started filming, and the truant Weilong is building a team and is ready to start filming in the second half of the year.
After chatting for a while, Gu Meng can be regarded as having figured out the character of Xing Ye, he is very introverted, he can act in a movie when he is alone, ask a word when there are many people, and sometimes he will wander, a little suspected of autism.
"Mr. Gu!"
As he was talking, Wang Jin walked over with his usual obscene smile.
"Mr. Gu, I wonder if you have time in the last few days?"
"Is there something wrong with Director Wang?"
Teresa Teng's concert is at the end of the month, and he has time these days.
Wang Jin squinted his eyes and smiled, "Mr. Gu, I don't know if you are interested in playing the role of Long Wuyi?"
"Dragon Five?"
Gu Meng thought about it for a while, he was a cold-faced tough guy, he appeared very handsomely, and it was quite good to play it.
"No problem!"
"Haha, looking forward to cooperating with Mr. Gu!"
Wang Jin smiled, and then left the open-air banquet with Zhou Yanfa, Liu Tianwang and other Shaw Brothers.
The movie "God of Gamblers" was led by craftsmanship and co-shot with Yindu and Shaw Brothers.
Craftsmanship and silver are only responsible for the money, and the rest of the parts, including the actors, crew, filming base, costumes, etc., are all in charge of the Shaw Brothers.
The film is more like Shaw Brothers-led.
When the movie makes money, the Shaw Brothers will take the lion's share, and the craftsmanship can only get 20% at most.
But what can be done, Shaw Brothers has the most actors and the most theaters, and there is no way to release it without cooperation, and people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
This feeling is very bad, there is a model of working for Shaw Brothers, how to break through?
"Gu Meng!"
Bidding farewell to the Shaw Brothers and his party, Gu Meng walked back while thinking, and suddenly heard a soft call, and when he turned around, he saw Deng Lijun walking down the stairs.
At today's banquet, she attended in full costume, wearing a lilac cheongsam, white embroidery shining like stars, she stepped on high heels, swayed her plump figure, and slowly went down the steps.
Gu Meng looked up at the bottom of the spiral staircase, as if looking at the moon in the sky, he was excited in his heart, walked forward quickly, and walked to the corner of the stairs with her waist in his arms.
"Damn it, there are so many people here, it's not good to be seen!"
After a long time, Teresa Teng blushed and said with slight disgust.
Gu Meng smiled with satisfaction, "When I was in elementary school, I learned an idiom called Xiu Se Ke Dining, I never understood the meaning of this idiom, but today I understand it, it's Sister Jun." ”
"Flim tongue!" Teng Lijun smiled softly.
Seeing that he was about to do it again, Deng Lijun hurriedly said, "Wait, I have something to tell you"
"Let's talk as we go!" Gu Meng grabbed her waist and went upstairs.
Teresa Teng couldn't resist, so she could only follow him, "Yesterday I called Yuan Long to explain, he said that he was not angry, so he invited him to attend today's banquet, and today I sent the invitation, but unfortunately..."
"Forget it, if you don't come, you won't come, let's talk about something happy..."
Hey~
"It turns out that the two of them are really procrastinating!"
After the two left, a little beauty in a red dress quietly came down from the upstairs, with fair skin and a sweet appearance, she looked at the figure of the two leaving, blinked her beautiful eyes, revealing a bit of elf eccentricity.
"Shuzhen, what are you doing here, come down!"
"Ah, little concubine, I'll come right away!"
