Chapter 258 - Recent Situation of the Company

After getting Zhang Ziyi, the four leading actors of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are already in place. There is also an important character in the play www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion, that is, the blue-eyed fox of Jade Jiaolong's teacher. The actor of the character in the original version is played by the veteran actor Zheng Peipei. Teacher Zheng Peipei is one of the few female stars in China, and she has been in the industry for many years and has good acting skills, so Gu Wenwu has no plans to change people.

The problem of actors, except for the remaining supporting roles, is basically solved. Then there's the question of the behind-the-scenes team. Gu Wenwu has made so many movies and already has a fixed team, but this time he does not plan to use his previous team. Because of this work, the requirements for the behind-the-scenes team are also very high.

Just take a look at the behind-the-scenes team of the original "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Tim Yip, Bao Dexi, and Tan Dun. Those are all top figures in their respective industries in the domestic entertainment industry. Without them, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" would have been able to win ten nominations and four awards. Gu Wenwu didn't force himself to be able to gather so many great gods together, but at least his team couldn't be too bad.

For this reason, Gu Wenwu specially came to the studio and instructed the staff of the studio to contact the top behind-the-scenes personnel in China. And, of course, pick a few supporting roles.

In fact, in addition to Tang Wei, Yao Cheng and Zhang Xiaoou, there are only six artists in the Wenwu Studio. With the current scale of Wenwu Studio, the number of artists is indeed a little small. However, Gu Wenwu has always preferred lack to excess, so it doesn't matter if there is less.

Gu Wenwu didn't pay much attention to the selection of supporting roles, but the six artists of the company were nervous at this time. Gu Wenwu has already been notified, this time he is choosing two supporting roles for his new movie, one male and one female, and the roles are not heavy. But even so, the six actors are still flocking to it. Who made Gu Wenwu their boss. In case Gu Wenwu takes a fancy to him and tilts the company's resources towards himself, then don't go to the sky.

"Come in." Gu Wenwu's assistant Liu Xuan got Gu Wenwu's signal and opened the door to let the six actors in.

"Good guide." After the six people came in, they greeted Gu Wenwu in a neat manner.

"Hello." Gu Wenwu nodded and looked at the six people in front of him, this should be regarded as the second-echelon artist of the Wenwu Studio. Among these six people, Yang Mi is a little more famous, and the others are still in the incubation period, although they have gained a lot of resources after entering the studio, it will take a while to see the effect.

"I won't talk nonsense anymore, this time I will choose two supporting roles, the supporting roles are not heavy, so the requirements are not high, and no one will be bad if you can enter the company, so I won't try the show, choose which one is suitable, don't be discouraged if you don't choose, the company still has many opportunities waiting for you." Gu Wenwu said.

Gu Wenwu wants to choose two supporting roles, one is the head catcher daughter who hunts down the blue-eyed fox, and the other is the horse bandit brother of the second male Luo Xiaohu.

"It's just the two of you." There were originally six people, and there wasn't much room for choice.

The ones who were chosen were Zhao Liying and Bai Zun. Bai Zun is an actor with a hard temperament, which is suitable for this role. As for Zhao Liying, she was chosen because Yang Mi is too beautiful and Liu Yan is too charming, and they are not suitable for the role of the daughter of the head catcher.

"You don't have to rush, the movie won't start shooting for a while, so do whatever you need to do during this time." Gu Wenwu said.

……

After solving the trivial matter of the two supporting roles and instructing the behind-the-scenes team, Gu Wenwu convened a meeting with all the senior executives of the studio. He wanted to find out what's going on in the studio.

Facts have proved that without the leadership of Gu Wenwu, the studio is still developing very well. After all, just relying on the movies made by Gu Wenwu, it is impossible for Wenwu Studio to develop so fast. As more and more talents join the Wenwu Studio, Gu Wenwu's hands-off shopkeeper is becoming more and more relaxed.

“…… In the second half of the year, the film and television works to be filmed by the studio are: the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Crazy Racing", the TV series "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", 0 films participated in the investment, and three TV series ......" Li Yefeng, as the general manager, gave you a general description of the company's plan for the second half of the year.

"Mr. Gu, it must be mentioned that "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is the last unadapted Jin Yong novel in our hands, and the copyright of the novel in Jin Yong's hands has been sold, so we must find a new way out, after the evaluation of the film and television department, I feel that the novel of a writer named Huang Yi in Xiangjiang has great potential ......for adaptation, and his novel is also very popular, but the price of this person is relatively high, so it is a little difficult to talk about it," said the Minister of Film and Television.

"Mr. Gu, I think our company is getting bigger and bigger, and the name Wenwu Studio is a bit inappropriate, so I suggest we change the name." Minister of Propaganda said.

"Director Gu, I think the six newly recruited artists are far from enough for our company, we shoot so many film and television dramas every year, because there are not enough artists, we can only cheapen other companies for nothing, I suggest that the company recruit artists again." Minister of Artists. To be reasonable, he is the most anxious, as the head of the artist department, there are two or three big cats and kittens under his hands, isn't this a plain dwarf.

……

The ministers expressed their opinions, and when they finally met the boss once, they naturally had to say everything that should be said. Gu Wenwu is not here, these problems are all handed over to Li Yefeng, but Li Yefeng also has things that he can't handle, like these things that can't be handled, he can temporarily suppress them and wait for Gu Wenwu to come over to deal with them.

Gu Wenwu listened quietly and did not interrupt them. It wasn't until everyone finished talking that he replied one by one: "On the issue of novel copyright, since the film and television department has always felt that Huang Yi's novel has potential, it doesn't matter if the price is high, as for the company's name change, I agree, as for what name to change, everyone will brainstorm about it, the matter of artists, I still say the same thing, I would rather lack than abuse, I can recruit artists, but I only need to have potential ......"

“…… In addition to what I said, I also have a decision, that is, the company is about to set up a new department - the variety show department, the main content of the variety show department is to produce variety shows, and the personnel department will go to prepare after the meeting, and send a message that our company is recruiting relevant talents with experience in variety show production......"

"But Mr. Gu, what kind of program will this variety show department do after it is established?" Li Yefeng said. Among all the people present, he dared to question Gu Wenwu's words.

"You don't have to worry about this, I've got an idea." Gu Wenwu said confidently. Just kidding, in the era of variety shows, he was worried that he would not have good ideas. Take out a random show, and that's the ace show.

"I see." Seeing Gu Wenwu's expression, Li Yefeng didn't want to say anything more.

The next day, the Wenwu Studio issued a message, from now on, the Wenwu Studio was officially renamed Qingyang Culture, and on the same day, Zhou Yanfa was photographed by reporters at Xiangjiang Airport after returning to China, and instantly made headlines.
