Chapter 173 Reconciliation

"I ......"

Zhou Yunfa hesitated, and said truthfully: "I still have a TV contract with TVB, but it will expire in two months." The wireless side asked me to sign a long-term contract for another eight years, and I have been in the wireless for eight years, and I feel that it will be difficult to break through my acting skills if I stay in the TV industry again, so I refused, and the wireless side is now hiding me. ”

"Oh, that's right."

Gu Weiqi touched his chin and muttered: "Anyway, Shao Yifu is a tycoon in the entertainment industry, and it will be very detrimental to your future development if you continue to make trouble with him like this." Although I'm not afraid of Shao Yifu, as the saying goes, many friends have many paths. Do you think this is good, I will be a peacemaker, set the table for a banquet, you apologize to Shao Yifu, how about I help you solve this matter? ”

Zhou Yunfa also knew that Gu Weiqi was so reasonable, so he nodded and said, "In this case, it would be the best, but it would be too troublesome for Boss Gu." ”

"Hey, there's nothing to be bothered with that."

Gu Weiqi waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have a cooperative relationship with Shao Yifu now, and he must sell me this face." In addition, I would like to tell you about the treatment and requirements if you join our company, you should listen carefully and make a decision. ”

Zhou Yunfa said solemnly: "Boss Gu, please speak." ”

"Don't be so polite, just call me Mr. Gu, in fact, if you really want to say that we are about the same age, it's okay to call me Archie. If you join our company, your contract will be signed with my upcoming 'China Entertainment International Superstar Entertainment Agency'. ”

Gu Weiqi said slowly: "By the way, the CEO of this company is your former good partner Zhao Yuzhi. That is, she will be in charge of your various brokerage business in the future. You just have to act with peace of mind. But don't worry, I am here to assure you that I will invest in at least two films starring you every year that will not be less than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

"Oh." When Zhou Yunfa heard the news, he was still quite surprised.

Gu Weiqi continued: "In our company, in addition to the basic guaranteed salary of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars per year, there are also generous salaries and generous dividends. There is also a food allowance, all in all, our company's treatment is definitely the best in the industry. The most important thing is that I am 100% sure that I will be popular with you. ”

Zhou Yunfa nodded and said, "So how long does it take to sign the contract?" ”

"It's tentatively five years, in fact, I'm very optimistic about you, if you don't object, I'd like to sign a ten-year contract with you at once, hehe. But forget it, I'm afraid you can't accept it for ten years, let's sign it for five years, and when the contract expires, if the two parties feel that the cooperation is pleasant, they can continue to renew the contract. ”

"That's for the best. Five years is not a long time, and it is not a short time. ”

"Well, but you have to keep it a secret, because the other artists will be signing contracts for ten years at a time. Oh yes, I've been telling you for a long time, and I haven't told you about the movie I want you to star in, and this movie is called 'God of Gamblers'. ”

"God of Gamblers?" Zhou Yanfa's curiosity was aroused.

"That's right, you know by the name, this is a gambling movie."

Speaking of Xiangjiang's movies, we have to talk about the commercial director Wang Jing, and when we talk about Wang Jing, we have to mention the film "God of Gamblers". This film written and directed by Wang Jing was filmed by "Yongsheng Film Company" in 1989, and the actors gathered Zhou Yunfa, Chow Yun-fat, Liu Dehua, Zhang Meng, Wang Guxian, Bao Hanlin, Long Fang, Xiang Huaqiang, etc.

The film tells the story of Gao Jin, a gambling god who is famous in the world for his superb gambling skills. Due to an accident, Gao Jin strayed into a trap set by a knife and suffered a serious head injury and lost his memory. Gao Jin's subordinates colluded with foreign enemies in an attempt to replace Gao Jin's position and seize his family property. A world-renowned gambling king war has kicked off on the high seas!

After the film was released, it won a box office of nearly 40 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking first in the box office list that year. It is worth mentioning that the only one who can carry forward gambling in movies is Wang Jing, a great director who has always been good at concocting commercial films. In fact, gambling culture is a major feature of Xiangjiang, and it is also the most different level from the mainland consciousness culture at that time.

It can be said that "God of Gamblers" is almost the symbol of Xiangjiang films, and it can be said that it is an epoch-making film of Chinese films. The starring Zhou Runfa brought the charm of oriental men to the extreme. When this film appeared, the audience was stunned by the colorful and diverse gambling techniques. This also led the trend of Hong Kong-made gambling films, and all kinds of gambling techniques on the screen gradually flooded.

To be honest, Zhou Yunfa doesn't like gambling very much, and his good friend Wu Mengda is because of his gambling habits, so much so that he signed a lot of money, and finally bankrupted his family and had to file for bankruptcy. However, I still feel very good about the film that Gu Weiqi told him. His intuition told him that as long as he starred in this film, Nineteen could take off the hat of "box office poison" that was pressing on his head.

After Gu Weiqi finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Yan with a smile and said, "How about hair?" The story I wrote is okay, right? ”

Zhou Yunfa nodded solemnly and said: "Mr. Gu is worthy of being a gold medal screenwriter, I feel pretty good, even if Mr. Gu doesn't give me a penny for this role, I decided to take it." ”

"That's great, I've already told you the general story and the character of the main character."

Gu Weiqi said: "The storyboard script is currently being created, but you can take advantage of this time to eat more high-fat foods to gain weight, because I feel that you are a little thin now, so it is difficult to deduce the momentum of the male protagonist with full aura." That's all right, right? ”

"No problem, isn't it just gaining weight, I gave up in order to play this role well."

"You have this heart, and it's only a matter of time before it's red. Okay, it's noon soon, you sit down for a while, and I'll give Shao Yifu a call. ”

Zhou Yunfa nodded, and wanted to say "thank you", but he swallowed back when the words came to his mouth, because sometimes doing it in a down-to-earth manner is more sincere than an empty word. secretly decided that in his darkest days, Mr. Gu could spare no effort to help him, and he would try his best to help Mr. Gu make films and make money in the future.

Gu Weiqi took the big brother, walked to the side and called Shao Yifu, and then called Fang Lingwei, instructing her to let the "Tang Dynasty Fund" buy a chocolate company, a sunglasses company, and let the "Charm Baby International Clothing and Shoes Company" start mass production of windbreakers.

Chocolate, sunglasses and a trench coat are just three of the props in the film "God of Gamblers". It is said that as soon as this film came out, the sales of those who sold these three things increased significantly. Since he is going to do it, Gu Weiqi naturally has to prepare in advance and dig out the best interests of this film.

Shao Yifu heard that Gu Weiqi invited him to dinner, so he came happily, after all, the two sides are now a cooperative relationship, but it is impossible to say that he comes. The most important thing is that he still wants to cooperate with Gu Weiqi, and soon "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun" will be released, judging from his experience in the film for many years, this film is 90% sure that it can make a lot of money. If you cooperate with a few more, you can not only completely start the signboard of "Oriental Charm", but also continue to make money, so why not?

However, after Shao Yifu came, he learned that Gu Weiqi called him not simply to invite him to dinner, but to be a peacemaker. But he was not displeased, to be honest, Zhou Runfa was picked up by him, and now the relationship is so stiff that everyone doesn't look good.

But at this moment, Gu Weiqi acted as a peacemaker, and Zhou Runfa apologized again, which can be said to have given him enough face, and he reconciled with Zhou Yanfa smoothly. However, he hopes to sign the first contract of the three film departments, so that he can promise to terminate the contract peacefully for Zhou Yunfa immediately, and hopes that Gu Weiqi will continue to co-produce a film with him.

Zhou Yunfa and Gu Weiqi agreed to these two requests after looking at each other, and after talking about business, the three of them ate delicious food and talked happily, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. However, when the wine was hot, Shao Tycoon couldn't help but ask about the next co-production of a new film, and asked Gu Weiqi if he had any ideas now.

Gu Weiqi put down the wine glass, touched his chin and said with a smile: "There are a lot of ideas, but because there are too many ideas, I can't get an idea for a while." That's it, Boss Shao, when the results of this movie are released, I'll give you an exact answer, okay? ”

"It's fine." Although the tycoon was a little disappointed, he still nodded.

After all, "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun" has not yet been officially released, and it is indeed a bit hasty to make this request.

After a banquet, Shao Tycoon left first under the pretext that the company still had affairs to deal with.

Only Zhou Yanfa and Gu Weiqi were left in the box, he glanced at the latter, and asked hesitantly: "Mr. Gu, please forgive me for being presumptuous, I heard that you are dragging Sister Lian?" ”

Gu Weiqi sneered, nodded and said, "Yes...... There's such a thing. ”

Zhou Yunfa saw that Gu Weiqi's expression was unnatural, so he hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand Mr. Gu, Sister Lian can be with you, I believe you will be able to take care of her." But I want to remind you to be careful of Chen Zhaowu. This bastard is a scoundrel who mixes up on the road, and knows a lot of bigwigs from the Black Society, and the reason why I broke up with Lianmei is because he once sent someone to threaten my family......"

"Oh, I see." Gu Weiqi suddenly realized, no wonder the two broke up after five years of love, it turned out that there was such a reason, so he nodded and said: "Then you can rest assured, he has now been sunk into the sea by me to feed the sharks." ”

Zhou Yanfa was shocked in his heart, and then he felt that Gu Weiqi was not as simple as it seemed, and he was able to sink a scoundrel who was mixed in the road into the sea to feed the sharks, but he couldn't do this method if he asked himself. In contrast, he felt that Chen Yulian following Gu Weiqi might be a good result, after all, he could protect her well.

"Alright, forget what I just said."

Gu Weiqi stood up and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Go back and think about the role." When the storyboard is out, the project will be officially launched, and there is not much time left for you. I still have something to do, so I'll go first, by the way, this is my business card, if you have anything, you can call me at any time. ”

"Okay, Mr. Gu go slowly." Zhou Yanfa stood up with his business card and said.

Gu Weiqi waved his hand, then turned around and left the box, left the hotel and drove to the wireless to pick up Chen Yulian, because he had to accompany her to see the villa. And he also has to think about the role selection of several movies, as well as attending the premiere ceremony of Shao Yifu's "Once Upon a Time" tonight, in short, he is entangled in various affairs.

However, when I saw Chen Yulian, I temporarily put these trivial matters behind.

On the way to the villa, Chen Yulian couldn't help but ask, "Have you met Fa Tsai?" ”

"Well, he's already agreed to play the lead actor in one of the five new films I plan to shoot."

"Did he ...... Ask me? ”

"Yes~" Gu Weiqi turned his head and glanced at her and said, "What?" Do you still miss him? ”

Chen Yulian rolled her eyes and said coquettishly: "What are you talking about?" I'm your woman now, okay? And how can you think of other men? ”

Gu Weiqi sneered and said, "It's good if you don't have it, I really like you Sister Lian!" ”

"I really like you, too!"
