A week after the release of "Butterfly Effect", on a dark and windy night, Ning Hao asked Gu Zhi out and said that he wanted to talk to him.

The location is near the Beijing Film Academy, a café called "New Island".

The café is opened in the community opposite the college, and there is a lot of traffic during the day, and at night, except for a few pairs of new and old lovers of the college who stay here, there is no business.

Such a secluded bourgeois environment is indeed an excellent place to fall in love.

Gu Zhi stood in front of the door of Xindao Coffee, and some strange thoughts naturally appeared in his heart.

On a big night, a big man suddenly asked him to this kind of place - to talk?

This could not but arouse his reverie.

Fortunately, when I went in, I saw that Ning Hao and his girlfriend Xing Aina were sitting next to each other, talking and laughing quite sweetly.

"What are you thinking about every day!"

Gu Zhi patted his head, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"It's a long night, you won't deliberately ask me to come here to make a light bulb, Brother Hao, Sister Xing. ”

Greeting the two of them with a smile, Gu Zhi sat directly opposite them, and ordered a cup of espresso with milk and sugar by the way.

He really doesn't understand coffee, as long as it's not so bitter, he can accept it.

At present, many Western sets are prevalent in China, and drinking coffee has become a forced thing, especially drinking black coffee, which is simple, as if the whole person has become a forced person.

More than ten years later, the forced price of coffee has dropped again and again, and later everyone understands that drinking coffee in Europe and the United States is similar to drinking boiled water.

In Gu Zhi's view, drinking coffee is mainly based on what flavor you like, there is no fixed tutorial, a person who orders "sugar-free, nonfat-free, double latte" in a coffee shop is the same as a person who stands on a roadside stall and says, "Two eggs, add a root sausage, don't chop green onions, put more spicy", is the same.

Now Gu Zhi and Ning Hao have changed from work comrades to good friends, and everyone is also straightforward people, and some twisting and pinching things that pretend to be postures are automatically omitted.

"You're a big celebrity now, how dare you ask you out during the day, you can't be blocked by your fans. ”

Xing Aina teased.

Fan is a buzzword at the moment, and it will take a few more years for it to fully evolve into a homonym for "fan".

After the fire of "Butterfly Effect", the fame of the main creators has increased significantly, the most notable is Tang Wei, the proper goddess style has attracted a lot of fans of men, women and children.

And then there is Gu Zhi, because the film is mainly promoted under his name, and his posters are also pasted, and after the movie is released, various media report almost every day, so that he will now be recognized when he goes out and walks two steps during the day.

Once when I went out to buy breakfast, I met an aunt downstairs and said:

"The little guy looks so energetic! I went to watch your movie with my wife yesterday, and I don't have to say anything about my acting skills, just one word, it's great!"

At that time, Gu Zhiyan laughed twice, thanked him repeatedly, and saw that the aunt was pulling him to continue, so he quickly found an excuse to get out of the clutches of the aunt.

I don't know how my aunt watches the movie, he is obviously not an actor, so how can he talk about acting...

The three of them chatted in the coffee shop for a while about the recent changes in their lives, and soon Ning Hao got down to business.

"Yesterday Huayi's people came looking for me. ”

"Huayi?"

Ning Hao nodded solemnly.

"To be exact, Wang Zhonglei came in person, hoping that I could join Huayi and be their signed director. ”

Gu Zhi's brows tightened, he didn't expect Hua Yi's vision to be so accurate, and he started cleanly, and he realized Ning Hao's value at this moment.

"Signed?"

Ning Hao smiled and shook his head.

"How can it be, Huayi is from the Beijing circle, and Feng Xiaogang is the top figure in it. This time, our movie pressed Feng Xiaogang, he probably still holds a grudge, and I don't have any qualifications, I really have to go to Huayi, and I can get good resources to have a ghost. ”

"Not necessarily, Wang Zhonglei is here in person, this sincerity is not big enough?"

"Hehe, he Wang Zhonglei is without me Ning Hao, and Hua Yi is still smooth, but without Feng Xiaogang, a cash cow, it is not just as simple as breaking muscles and bones. ”

"What do you think I'm going to do with a company like this?"

After listening to this, Gu Zhi gave Ning Hao a thumbs up, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

is worthy of being one of the most commercially valuable directors in Huaguo in the future, how can such a character be willing to send people under the fence and be inferior.

Although he is still young and has just directed a movie, he also has his own pride and persistence.

"Have you figured out what to do in the future?"

"There's already a lot of homework left behind at school, and I want to put a little more effort into studying. In addition, I am also going to try a literary film, and I have a few good ideas recently, and we want to write it out first and see if we can make it. ”

After Ning Hao finished speaking, Xing Aina picked up his words.

"We have currently thought of two books, one is about the story of Ning Hao's hometown of SX, and the other is a comedy that takes place in the Inner Mongolia Valley prairie. ”

"It's also good to make more other types of films, and if you don't have the money, come to me. ”

Gu Zhi understood Ning Hao's approach and was willing to support him with real money.

To be able to return to calm and accumulate more knowledge and experience when he is about to emerge is too rare for such a director, and Gu Zhi doesn't want him to be abducted by others.

"Haha, that's what you said, I take it seriously!"

"It has to be taken seriously!"

···

The next day, Gu Zhi received another call from Liu Ye.

As soon as he came up and didn't speak, he was so excited that he gasped loudly several times before he smoothed his breath.

"Classmate Gu, I'm going to Hong Kong Island tomorrow!"

"Got a new play?"

"It was a producer named Zhang Yongning who took a fancy to me after watching "The Butterfly Effect" and wanted to recommend me to Hong Kong Island director Guan Jinpeng. He and Director Guan are currently preparing to make a movie called "Lan Yu", and there is a protagonist who has already been decided, it is Hu Jun!"

Liu Ye said a lot of words in one breath, and Gu Zhi could hear how excited he was through the phone.

Guan Jinpeng is a very famous director on Hong Kong Island, shortlisted for many Golden Horse and Academy Awards, and won the Best Director at the Academy Awards in 97 with "Rouge Buckle", and the director's strength is undoubted.

The stars who have worked with him include Mei Yanfang, Zhang Guorong, Zhang Manyu, and Liang Jiahui, almost all of whom are super first-line movie stars on Hong Kong Island.

Being able to have the opportunity to play the leading role under Guan Jianpeng is simply a dream opportunity for Liu Ye.

Because of "Butterfly Effect", he and Tang Wei have actually been ridiculed by some veteran filmmakers, and now that he has this opportunity, he must firmly seize it and prove himself to the industry.

Gu Zhi originally thought that letting Liu Ye star in "Butterfly Effect" might make him miss "Lan Yu", but he didn't expect that now it has contributed to his fate with "Lan Yu", which is really tricky.

Liu Ye really has to develop in the direction of literary films, who makes everyone good now.

After Gu Zhi chatted with him, he thought about it carefully and dialed Tang Wei's mobile phone number.

"Dut... Dut··· Toot ·

In the microphone, the familiar sound of waiting kept ringing in Gu Zhi's ears, and for some reason, his mood suddenly became a little heavy.

"It's only been a week since the movie was released, and they've all changed a lot, will she have been signed by other companies?"
