Chapter 16

After making a bet, Wen Minxuan got out of the car and left very interestingly.

Since Gu Xue had come up, she didn't plan to change the car temporarily, so she simply sat in the same car with Sui Yun.

Two Maseratis drove one after the other in the night, and the brilliant neon lights shone into the car, reflecting the delicate side faces of the occupants. Sui Yun looked ahead and calmly spoke: "If you win the bet, do you really want to cooperate with Ye Huayu?" ”

Gu Xue looked at him sideways, "Ye Huayu is a very good director, and with his joining, I believe it will be of great help to Yue Heng's next movie." ”

"Aren't you afraid that Wen Minxuan will take the opportunity to pester you again?" Sui Yun said it quite tactfully, but the implication was obvious: you usually avoid Wen Minxuan like this, he tries every means to get close to you, if you really use his people, the other party will not have to pester you every day?

Gu Xue was silent for a while, and straightened out her thoughts a little.

Everyone is in the same circle, and it is almost impossible to think of not having a little intersection. Moreover, Wen's Group is strong, Wenying Media has the best resources and the best staffing, and it is simply a fool's dream to compete with Yueheng's current strength.

Since you can't compete head-on, it's better to adopt roundabout tactics, borrow the resources of Wenying Media, to strengthen your strength, and use the opponent's spear to attack the opponent's shield, maybe you can still have a chance of winning.

"If Wen Minxuan really wants to entangle, whether there is Ye Huayu or not, he will do it."

Gu Xue's tone was a little helpless, "Yue Heng is now the time to need people, as long as it is beneficial to the company, you should try it, as for the rest, let's talk about it later." ”

Sui Yun felt that he seemed to have too much to say today, and he was just an outsider and shouldn't ask about these things at all, so he closed his mouth and turned his head to look out the window.

The heating was turned on in the carriage, and the hot air made people drowsy, Sui Yun's eyelids gradually drooped, and when he was sleepy, he heard Gu Xue open his mouth again: "Are you willing to help me?" ”

Sui Yun suddenly came to his senses, and looked at the other party blankly, "What can I help you?" ”

Gu Xue slowed down her speech and said with persuasion: "There are no male artists in the company now, if you sign a contract with Yue Heng, you can fill this vacancy." I believe that you will be an excellent actor. ”

"You think too highly of me, I don't really have any acting talent." Sui Yun has never felt that he is an excellent actor, and this movie is just a fluke, which does not mean that he can always be so lucky.

However, Gu Xue didn't think so. Before, she wanted to sign Sui Yun, mainly because of the popularity that the movie might bring to the other party after it was released, but after this dinner, she had a new understanding of Sui Yun.

Don't look at Sui Yun, who usually doesn't talk much, his emotional intelligence is actually quite high, at critical moments, he can be calm and calm and not chaotic, which is rare, especially in the impetuous entertainment industry, which is even more commendable. For an actor with good acting skills and high emotional intelligence, it is only a matter of time before he becomes popular.

Because of this, Gu Xue's determination to sign Sui Yun was even stronger, she considered the wording, and then said: "I have confidence in you, I believe that you will definitely be able to." ”

Gu Xue's eyes were bright, reflecting the dim light in the car, becoming more and more clear and moving, Sui Yun looked at her quietly, and suddenly couldn't say anything if he wanted to refuse, I don't know why, he found that he was more and more unable to refuse the girl in front of him.

Sui Yun took a deep breath and looked away, "Thank you for looking up to me so much." But the signing of the contract will be talked about until after the movie is released. ”

What he said is very reasonable, and he will have to wait until the movie is released to find out. If "The End of the Road" is not good at the box office, and the director is finally acquired by Wenying Media, then Sui Yun will not have to sign a contract.

Gu Xue's heart moved, "You mean, if the box office of the movie is good, you will agree to sign a contract with Yue Heng?" ”

Sui Yun smiled noncommittally, Gu Xuequan acquiesced to the other party, and couldn't help but muttered in his heart, the box office of "The End of the Road" must be a big hit, in that case, the problem can be solved easily.

******

More than half a month later, "The End of the Road" was finally released.

With the previous publicity at the charity dinner, coupled with Song Man's dedication, the attendance rate on the day of the film's premiere was quite good, and the box office after that was soaring, exceeding 100 million in three days after its release, and it is still rising.

Gu Xue's hanging heart finally let go.

On the fifth day of the movie's release, Gu Xue called Wen Minxuan, and as soon as the phone was connected, she said straight to the point: "Mr. Wen, let me tell you that the box office of "The End of the Road" has reached 150 million. ”

Wen Minxuan on the other end of the phone chuckled, "By the way, Xiaoxue, I haven't congratulated you yet." ”

Gu Xue didn't want to listen to those useless polite words, so she directly interrupted: "Congratulations, no need, you just don't forget the original agreement." ”

"Don't worry, I will fulfill my promise, and after a while, I will arrange for you to meet with Director Ye."

"That's good." Gu Xue was very satisfied with Wen Minxuan's answer, thought about it, and added: "By the way, Mr. Wen, you are so busy, you won't be used as a companion, I can meet him alone." ”

Wen Minxuan naturally heard what the other party meant, and snorted coldly, "You don't want to see me so much?" ”

"I really don't want to." After Gu Xue finished speaking, she hung up the phone directly.

"The End of the Road" finally won a total box office of 320 million, which is completely consistent with the situation predicted by Gu Xue before. In addition to the high box office, the film has also won a good reputation, and Jian Feng, as a director, also became famous overnight, and the two leading actors have skyrocketed in popularity.

According to the previous agreement, the filmmaker will take 40%, that is to say, Yueheng Pictures can get 128 million, because the leading actors and directors in the film are newcomers, their remuneration is actually very low, except for the remuneration of employees and some other expenses, Gu Xue made a net profit of 120 million this time, which can be described as a beautiful turnaround.

And the biggest winner this time is the investor He Chen, at the beginning, he only invested 10 million, but he didn't expect to make a profit of nearly 200 million, he was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, and repeatedly said that he was willing to continue to invest in Yueheng's next movie.

After the success of the first film, Gu Xue began to prepare for the next film.

Wen Minxuan's work efficiency is still quite high, and soon, Gu Xue met with Ye Huayu, and after some greetings, the two gradually got to the point.

Gu Xue proposed to Ye Huayu that she hoped that the other party could serve as the art director in Yue Heng's next movie. It seems a bit overkill to let such a well-known director be the art director, but Gu Xue has her own considerations.

After all, Ye Huayu is a person from Wenying Media, and it is obviously not appropriate to let him directly serve as the director and direct the movies produced by Yue Heng. Besides, Gu Xue's main purpose in inviting him here was actually to let the other party bring Jian Feng.

Jian Feng is a very good young man, dedicated, hard-working, and driven, the only drawback is his lack of experience. After all, he is only in his early twenties, and compared with Ye Huayu, who has been in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years, Jian Feng is obviously still a little too tender.

Therefore, Gu Xue specially invited Ye Huayu over, hoping that Jian Feng could learn some valuable experience from the other party, Jian Feng is a smart person, Gu Xue believes that he will definitely seize this opportunity to learn from his predecessors.

After Ye Huayu heard this, he didn't immediately express his position, he just said that he could not decide until he read the script first. Ye Huayu's dedication is famous, he strives for excellence in every movie, so Gu Xue is not in a hurry, she believes that the script she chooses will not disappoint the other party, and she also believes that they will be able to cooperate happily.

Soon after the release of "The End of the Road", Gu Xue signed Sui Yun by the way. For Sui Yun, it doesn't matter if he is a big star or not, the reason why he signed a contract with Yue Heng is just to hope to have more opportunities to meet Gu Xue, and no one knows this reason except himself.

Soon, Gu Xue arranged an agent for Sui Yun, the other party's name is Xinni, who has brought many first-line movie stars, when Sheng Zeyi left, he took a large number of artists with him, and many agents also left with the artists, but Xinni resolutely stayed.

Gu Xue trusted Xinni very much, so she specially arranged for her to take Sui Yun.

Xinni is just 30 years old this year, with short ear-length hair, the whole person looks capable and restrained, she looks a little cold, she doesn't like to laugh much, she is a good person, she belongs to the type of cold face and hot heart. Gu Xue explained a few words to Xin Ni, and then handed over Sui Yun to her with confidence.

Sui Yun and Han Yiqing are now the two golden signboards of Yueheng Pictures, so Gu Xue is still using them in the next movie. First, it can continue to improve the popularity of the two, and second, the audience also likes that in "The End of the Road", the two cooperate tacitly, with a full sense of CP, and it is completely a combination of handsome men and beautiful women.

While the aftermath of the previous movie has not dissipated, continue to strike while the iron is hot, and launch another movie starring the two should have a good effect.

The actors are decided, and the next step is to choose the script. is different from the previous movie, this time the actors are set first, and then the script is selected, so the requirements for the script will be a little higher, first of all, the roles in the play must be suitable for two actors, and secondly, the plot must meet the taste of the audience and ensure a certain box office.

Dong Lehui has a lot of books in his hand, but most of them are comedy films, Sui Yun and Han Yiqing have already acted in one, if they act in a similar film, they are likely to be characterized as comedians by the audience.

But Gu Xue hopes that the two of them can take the idol route, after all, the appearance of the two is not low, and they can have more room for development, so this time, she hopes to make a movie that fully shows the appearance and acting skills of the two.

Although the idea is good, the implementation is not smooth. Gu Xue and Dong Lehui discussed the script for a week, but still couldn't reach an agreement, so she began to hope for her special ability, hoping to foresee the clues of the next movie like last time.
