Chapter 047 The Grandmaster is finished
The protagonist twitches his nose and exclaims, "Quicklime powder! ”
Next, Huang Yongheng used a long shot to include a series of wonderful movements performed by the protagonist played by Gu Weiqi into the camera without leakage. As Gu Weiqi grabbed a handful of pennies, a bloody battle began.
In order to film this battle well, Gu Weiqi selected a group of elite with outstanding skills in the bodyguard team to play the trick, and they have been rehearsed many times in advance, and now is the time for them to show their talents. In fact, they did not disappoint Gu Weiqi, and everyone cooperated tacitly.
With a thrilling battle, Gu Weiqi vividly interpreted the hero's desperate ruthlessness and superb national skills. finally took the opportunity to escape from the alley, and this scene was finally over. It was only at this time that Liu Zhenwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. You know, with 10 cameras, every minute of film alone costs a lot of money. In particular, in order to shoot high-quality images, this uses high-quality film imported from the United States.
"Click!" Liu Zhenwei said: "Very good. ”
Gu Weiqi looked around at the crowd: "Brothers, you have worked hard, the brothers who participated in the show tonight will find Fang Lingwei to receive 5,000 Hong Kong dollars each." There is also my secret medicinal wine, and I will find Fang Lingwei to get a bottle of each one later. In addition, don't be busy walking yet, when the shooting is over, I will invite everyone to a big meal! ”
The crowd cheered, "Well, long live the boss!" ”
Gu Weiqi smiled and said, "Okay, let's work hard, and strive to finish filming the remaining scenes tonight!" ”
The next thing to shoot is the scene where the protagonist borrows his mobile phone to call Zhang Tong. However, this scene was changed by Gu Weiqi to call from a public phone, and as for the girl who came out of the Internet café and was stunned in the original book, he was also changed to a phone booth calling, and was stunned by a dramatic scene.
This scene is not difficult, and it is easy to pass.
Then Zhang Tong, played by Zheng Wenya, drove a fiery red sports car and soon appeared in the protagonist's sight. Liu Zhenwei gave a close-up of her anxious expression, zoomed in the camera, and the other party found the male protagonist. The sports car turned up its horsepower at full speed, and the wind was speeding over, and suddenly stopped on the side of the road, opened the door, and walked out.
"Why are you injured like this, get in the car!" Zheng Wenya said the lines, and her face showed a surprised expression.
Liu Zhenwei nodded secretly, this girl wants to say that her acting skills are definitely remarkable. Although it is not as good as those old drama bones who have been acting for many years. But after filming during this time, I also practiced good acting skills. She actually stayed in the wireless station for a year before, and the reason why she didn't become popular was not because she was not good at acting, but because she didn't have anyone to support her. Therefore, she acted in this movie, but she took out 120,000 points of spirit, and the script role has been pondered for many days, and now she is acting quite well.
The next step was relatively simple, as Gu Weiqi woke up the girl who was originally on the phone but was stunned by him, and then stuffed the microphone into her hand, and followed Zheng Wenya into the car.
In the camera: Zheng Wenya also asked him if he could hold on? He said there was no problem.
Then Zheng Wenya stepped on the accelerator and walked away.
"Click!" Liu Zhenwei said excitedly: "I announce that the 'National Art Grandmaster's Starting from Scratch' is officially completed!" ”
"Okay!" The crowd couldn't help but cheer.
It's been a hard time for everyone. Especially during the filming of several of the fight scenes, several main actors, including Chen Xunqi and Huang Yuansheng, were more or less injured.
However, a few bottles of bone-setting wine prepared by Gu Weiqi with excellent effect were no big problem after applying them and resting overnight. This can also be regarded as a benefit for the crew members. Lin Zhenying even joked that if he didn't play movies, he would definitely have a good business in the future.
To this, he just smiled. In fact, the secret recipe for the preparation of this kind of bone-setting wine is an ancient prescription taught to him by Old Man Gu. The effect on bruises is very significant. But now that he's devoted to the film industry, he doesn't have time for this for the time being.
Zheng Wenya, who was driving Gu Weiqi at that time, asked with concern, "Are you really okay Archie?" I think your back really hurts. ”
"It's all skin trauma, and I can withstand it."
Gu Weiqi waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile: "Aya, your acting skills are really good, and you are also beautiful, as long as you hone your acting skills well in the future, within three years and five years, I promise to make you a first-line star in the Chinese entertainment industry!" ”
"A first-line star in the Chinese entertainment industry?" Zheng Wenya's heart was moved.
It has been two years since she debuted, and she has been working hard for two years on the two major TV stations, Wireless and Lidi, and has always been in the second and third tier positions. It can be said that I have dreamed of becoming a first-line red star, and now this opportunity has finally come. To paraphrase the lines of Brother Ma in "The True Color of Heroes", he said, "I have endured it for two years, just waiting for an opportunity, I want to fight for a breath, not to prove that I am great, but to tell people that as long as someone praises me, I can also become a first-line star." ”
While the two men were talking, they turned back.
Gu Weiqi got out of the car and saw that everyone had almost packed up the props and equipment, so he beckoned everyone to go to the hotel for a finale banquet.
This finale banquet was held at the "Jade Shan Fang International Restaurant", and there were seventy or eighty people in front of and behind the scenes.
Gu Weiqi instructed Yang Jian, the executive president of the hotel, to hold a ten-table banquet. And the dishes are quite high-grade, flying in the sky, jumping in the mountains, and swimming in the water all kinds of delicacies of the mountains and seas are on the table like flowing water. Drinks are even more constant.
Everyone ate heartily and drank heartily.
Seeing that everyone had eaten and drunk almost, Gu Weiqi clapped his hands and looked around at everyone: "Everyone has worked hard during this time, so I won't say more nonsense." After the movie is released, if it can be a big hit, the benefits will definitely be indispensable to everyone. In addition, I would like to announce the good news that the company will continue to make a big budget film in the future. However, I may not have time to direct any more in the short term, because it is very likely that I will personally go to the United States to find a distributor to negotiate the release with a copy of 'The Grandmaster of Guoshu' in the future. ”
"Isn't it? The boss said that he wanted to take the movie to the United States for release? ”
"And you're going to shoot a new film so soon?"
"I don't know what type of film it is?"
……
Everyone was talking, Gu Weiqi smiled and said: "The next film to be filmed is called 'Diamond Robbery', and I plan to continue to let you direct Zhen Viagra." In view of the fact that this drama uses flying car stunts and blasting special effects, the investment amount is relatively large, and the initial budget is 11 million Hong Kong dollars, I don't know if Zhen Viagra is interested? ”
"An investment of 11 million?" When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar.
Liu Zhenwei was overjoyed in his heart, and said loudly without thinking about it: "Of course I'm interested." ”
The investment of 11 million yuan is definitely the investment level of the big cast in the current Xiangjiang. Regardless of the final box office of this movie, with this filming qualification, it is definitely enough to be impressive. How could he not want to?
"That's great."
Gu Weiqi nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "To tell you the truth, I plan to continue to impact the Hollywood market with the film that will be filmed, so you must be bold when shooting." Don't be afraid to burn money, we are not short of money, the key is to be well-made. Of course, this money is not blown by the wind, so try to spend it on the blade. ”
Liu Zhenwei patted his chest and said solemnly: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to make a good film." And there will be no waste of production costs. ”
"That's good, I'll give you the script when I have the soundtrack and editing for the film at hand. Okay, tomorrow everyone will come to the company to dub. You go on, I'll go back and get a few songs and back-to-back music first, and try to finish this movie as soon as possible. Gu Weiqi said, waved his hand and turned around as if he was walking outside.
"Wait, Mr. Gu~"
Liu Zhenwei hurriedly stopped him and said with a wry smile: "Although I really want to shoot the new drama you just talked about, but I can't handle the flying car stunts and blasting special effects, boss, you have to find me a few professional helpers." Otherwise, I'm not sure I'll shoot it well. ”
"Flying car stunts ......"
Gu Weiqi thought about it, it seemed that Chen Xunqi was quite good at studying flying car stunts, and muttered: "Let Chen Xunqi assist you." If you want to have blasting special effects, let Zhang San help you do it, he was good at demining and blasting when he was a soldier, you can take the time to do blasting experiments with him first. But be safe, I don't want anyone to be hurt, it's no joke, there must be no accidents! ”
"Okay, I'll listen to your Mr. Gu."
"There are also a lot of action scenes in this play, so let Brother Lin assist you in taking charge of the action scenes, that's it."
Gu Weiqi turned around, and Long Ying and others, who were bodyguards, and secretary Fang Lingwei also walked out. Soon he got into a car, the former driving, and the latter two sitting next to him.
Sitting in the car, Fang Lingwei flipped through her work notes and reminded: "Archie, Xue Rong said that the bosses of film companies such as Jiahe, Xinyicheng, Colorful, and Dadi want to buy the film adaptation rights of novels serialized in our newspapers. There are also several TV stations over there, which also want to buy TV adaptation rights. ”
"Tell her not to sell it yet." Gu Weiqi said categorically, joking about how much the adaptation fee is, you can make a lot of money by making it yourself.
"Okay, I'll tell her when I get back."
Fang Lingwei nodded, and continued: "Xiandi cooperated with a European bookseller to distribute the novel you wrote to Europe, and recently sent a remittance of 30 million US dollars. Yuan Feng also pushed the Transformers toy company into the European market, and the sales momentum continued to be hot, and recently made a profit of 50 million US dollars. ”
"Not bad." Gu Weiqi exclaimed and asked again, "It's almost the New Year, right?" ”
"It's February 19, 1981, and it's three days before the Spring Festival."
"It seems that some of them have been busy during this time. By the way, how is the release of 'Lift Your Little Hands'? How much box office has it received now? ”
"Very gratifying, as of ten days of release so far, it has received a box office of 9.8 million Hong Kong dollars."
"So much?" Gu Weiqi was slightly taken aback, you must know that this movie only got a box office of 1.18 million when it was painted in history.
In fact, there are three main reasons why this movie is getting such a high box office now. One is that the publicity has done a good job, after all, Gu Weiqi not only has Phoenix TV under his name, but also China Entertainment Times, two major propaganda weapons; Second, the investment cost is much higher than in history, and the production is much better than the historical version; The third is that there are no blockbusters released at the same time.
Now whether it is Shao's "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", or Jiahe's "Loser", or Princess Jin's "Happy Fairy Nest", they are all small-budget movies. There is no competition at all but "lifting small hands", and under the leadership of these important reasons, the box office results are naturally better.
"Yes, because the Spring Festival is coming soon, the number of moviegoers in these days remains high. Yesterday the number of games increased to eight. Moreover, the film companies in Xinmatai, Nanyang, Taiwan and other places have begun to find our company and expressed their intention to introduce it. At the moment, I am in contact with representatives of film companies in various regions. ”
"Thank you, Sister Weiwei, I will take good care of you tonight."
Fang Lingwei's face turned red, and she continued: "The singles released by Ye Qianwen, Anita Mui and Chen Huixian have recently sold 168,000, 200,000 and 165,000 respectively. Zhong Jinghui asked if you took the opportunity to release an album for them? ”
"Oh, so all three of them are doing well. The album is definitely going to be released, and as for the songs, I look back and make dozens of them out. By the way, how is the cooperation between our music company and Polygram? ”
"It's going well, Deng Lijun's 'I Only Care About You' album has been sought after throughout Southeast Asia, including Taiwan and Yuben, selling more than 10 million copies. Recently, PolyGram is promoting her album to Europe and the United States. However, Zhong Jinghui only won a 27% share. ”
