Gu Weiqi and his entourage walked out, but at that time, a group of reporters swarmed and surrounded several people.

"Miss Deng, how do you feel about the success of your concert at the Lee Stage?"

"I would like to thank my family and friends for encouraging me to cheer myself up when my career was in a setback. In particular, Mr. Gu Weiqi also helped me write three new songs yesterday. and my agent, Mr. Deng Yiquan, who never gave up supporting me and encouraging me when I wanted to give up my singing career! And the majority of fans who like me, I might not be able to get to where I am today without them, thank you again for their support to me! ”

"So, Miss Deng, where will you focus your development in the future? Is it in Hong Kong? Or do you want to go back to Taiwan and the book? ”

"I haven't thought about it yet, it depends on the company's specific arrangements."

"May I ask Mr. Gu, why did you write a song for Miss Deng?"

"It's because of the excitement, so I wrote a few songs for Miss Deng at random, and there is no special reason."

"Mr. Cheng Throat, someone saw you sending roses to Miss Deng, are you dating Miss Deng?"

"Haha, this reporter is really joking, just sending a bouquet of flowers to congratulate her on the success of the concert, how can this have anything to do with the shooting? All I can say is that your imagination is too rich. ”

"Mr. Gu, it is rumored that the blockbuster you invested in tens of millions of dollars is called 'Guoshu Grandmaster's Starting from Scratch', right?"

"That's right, you're really well-informed."

“……”

These journalists asked a wide variety of questions. However, whether it is Deng Lijun or Cheng Throat, he is an old oilman, and answering questions is naturally watertight. As for Gu Weiqi, he often dealt with various paparazzi as early as before his rebirth, and the current reporters are not at the same level as the paparazzi in the 21st century, and various problems naturally can't help him.

After answering the questions, the reporters left one after another to catch up with the manuscript. And Gu Weiqi and others also rushed to a hotel by car, but what he didn't expect was that it was actually his own "Jade Shan Fang International Restaurant". The celebration banquet hall has already been arranged, in addition to Gu Weiqi and Cheng Throat, there are also Tan Yonglin, Guan Lijie, Xu Guanwen and other friends in Deng Lijun's circle.

As soon as Xu Guanwen saw Gu Weiqi, he immediately asked with great joy: "Archie, didn't you say to help me create two songs?" What do you think? Have you thought about it? ”

"It's a bit of an eyebrow."

Gu Weiqi thought about it, and immediately asked the waiter to bring a pen and paper, and wrote a song "Can it be" with a wave of the pen, and wrote a "The most important and fun" with a turn of the pen, and sent it to Xu Guanjie and said: "Okay, Brother Xu, the two songs promised to you are now cashed in for you, how are you going to thank me, Brother Xu?" ”

Xu Guanjie watched it and felt that these two songs were good, so he couldn't help but look at Gu Weiqi again, carefully folded the manuscript and put it in his pocket, took out a checkbook, signed 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, and sent it to him: "No, this is your reward." Interesting enough, right? ”

100,000 Hong Kong dollars was definitely a lot at that time, and it must be known that Huang Zhan wrote a song was only 8,000 yuan, and Xu Guan's outstanding hand was not ungenerous. However, these two songs are not bad, even if he pays 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, he still makes a lot of money. Just releasing a single disc is more than just making this money.

Gu Weiqi naturally didn't like this money, so he refused: "Forget it, Brother Xu, I don't lack this money, if you really want to thank me, help me make a movie in the future." But let's talk about it first, you have to give me a friendly price in terms of salary when the time comes. ”

"Okay, that's it." Xu Guanwen readily agreed.

"Come on, come on, let's toast to the success of Lijun's concert!"

Just as the two were talking at the same table, the others opened the champagne one after another to celebrate Deng Lijun. However, Gu Weiqi is not familiar with everyone, so he did not mix. Just chatted casually with Xu Guanjie.

The next day, many newspapers in Xiangjiang reported the news that Deng Lijun successfully held a concert at the Li Stage last night. However, in addition to reporting this news, "China Entertainment Times" also released the blockbuster news that the two films of "Donglai Company" will start filming at the same time in the near future, which exploded in the film and television industry as soon as the news was released.

It must be known that although the name of "Donglai Company" is loud enough, it is still a newly opened film company, and it is really rich to start filming two movies at the same time. But Gu Weiqi doesn't care about this, after arriving at the company, the first thing he cares about is the actor question about the three killers.

And Liu Zhenwei did not disappoint him, and came to the company with three foreigners early in the morning. Gu Weiqi took a closer look, and the muscular guy among them turned out to be Shang Ge Yunton, who had mixed well in Hollywood in history. And he was accompanied by a typical white Western man and a half-breed guy.

After Liu Zhenwei's introduction, Gu Weiqi learned that sure enough, the strong guy who didn't slip away in the dark was really Shangge Yundun. As for the other white Adolf and the half-breed Kress are his good friends. The former is blonde and blue-eyed, tall and straight, and looks about twenty-seven or eighteen years old; And the latter is in his twenties, with a tall posture, if according to the aesthetic concept of Westerners, he can be regarded as a handsome guy.

The reason why I came to Xiangjiang, according to Liu Zhenwei's explanation, turned out that these three goods did not mix well in Hollywood. There is no way to come to Xiangjiang to develop, after all, Xiangjiang's film industry has developed very rapidly in recent years. I thought that even if I couldn't make a name for myself, at least I would be able to make ends meet. Unexpectedly, the mixture became even more miserable.

The three of them originally went to the Shao's studio in the hope of mixing actors, after all, Shao's movies have dominated Xiangjiang for many years, and their reputation is still very loud. But with the gradual reduction of Shao's production, people can't use foreigners at all. When he came out of the Shao's set, he happened to meet Liu Zhenwei, who went to the Shao's set to find a friend to inquire about the three killer actors in the play.

So the next thing is simple, Liu Zhenwei told them that there is a big production that needs three foreigners to play important roles, and the three agreed without thinking about it. There is no other reason, before coming to the company, the money brought by the three of them was gone. If you hadn't joined the crew of "The Grandmaster of National Art Starting from Scratch", it is estimated that he would have to live on the streets to ask for food.

Gu Weiqi is also very satisfied with the fact that these three people can join the crew to play the three roles of "Bullet of Death", "Violent Bear" and "Hungry Wolf". immediately took out the script and contract to them, and the three of them casually signed the contract in order to get paid as soon as possible.

The contract is a five-year brokerage contract, and Gu Weiqi did not cheat them, and gave the three of them a salary of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars each. This was definitely not low in Xiangjiang at that time, and it was more than 20,000 dollars in US dollars, which was okay in the United States at that time. After all, they are not well-known now, and they only play supporting roles, and it is already quite good to be able to get 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.

After signing the contract, Gu Weiqi gathered all the main actors together to give them a lecture, especially some difficult action scenes for simulation drills. After all, the most exciting part of this movie is the martial arts part of it, and if you don't rehearse in advance, it will inevitably go wrong at that time, which will delay the filming time.

In this way, Gu Weiqi told everyone about the play for half a month, and on the morning of December 20, 1980, "The Grandmaster of Guoshu Starting from Scratch" held a low-key start-up ceremony on the set set of Liyuan Park.

In Xiangjiang, there has always been a rule of worshipping God when the drama is opened, hoping to please good fortune and help the big drama start filming smoothly.

When Gu Weiqi was not reborn, he often saw from the entertainment news that the directors of Xiangjiang worshiped God and prayed to Buddha when they started filming, burned incense and offered suckling pigs, and thought it was a little funny, which is too superstitious, right? But now that I'm here, I know that there's no reason for doing this.

For example, sometimes you can't shoot a scene in a day, and you waste a lot of money in vain, either this trick actor laughs, or another scene worker accidentally enters the painting; Otherwise, it's just that the shooting is done, and suddenly the props or lights or something will give you a small situation...... In short, if it is not smooth, it is not smooth, and the root work cannot be explained clearly in scientific terms.

But sometimes, it just doesn't make sense at all, and when it's going well, you can shoot about 10 big shots a day. No one can explain why. is obviously the same team of people and the same way of working, maybe you can't get a shot for a day yesterday, and it's a waste of money; But the next day was only filmed for half a day, and the harvest of work was even several times that of yesterday, as if it had fallen into an evil spirit. In such a situation, it is no wonder that the directors of Xiangjiang will hold a pious start-up worship ceremony every time they film.

In fact, not to mention the directors who worship God, even those rich people are keen on it. The home and business addresses of those of the wealthy have to be instructed by a feng shui master. Even the layout of the rooms had to be set up by Feng Shui masters, and they were particularly fond of the kind of objects that had been consecrated by the eminent monks in the temple.

All in all, with the widespread demand of the public, the soil of Xiangjiang has become a paradise for Buddhism, Taoism, and even foreign Christianity, and I don't know how many "talents" in this area have been raised. Of course, the Xiangjiang entertainment industry can't avoid dealing with superstition and other inexplicable things.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to seek peace of mind.

At the same time, the same Chen Xunqi also took the crew of "Chasing Girls" to hold a kick-off ceremony at "Hollywood Road". All in all, the filming of two dramas of Donglai Company started at the same time, sounding the clarion call for officially entering the film industry.

Gu Weiqi held the lit incense in his hand in front of the incense table, followed by Lin Zhenying, Liu Zhenwei and the heroine Yang Xuanpan, male number two Huang Yuansheng and others.

In order not to disturb the media reporters, Gu Weiqi did not notify any media reporters, so he started the film in a very low-key manner. Of course, your own newspaper and TV station still have to take care of it. Huang Xizhao and Xue Rong respectively sent gold medal reporters from TV stations and newspapers to take some stills, and concocted some news under the instruction of Boss Gu, and went back after sharing some tribute.

Then Gu Weiqi instructed someone to let him and Yang Yipan put on makeup, and asked Lin Zhenying to check the equipment, and notified everyone to prepare for the official start of filming half an hour later. Everyone has arrived, and everyone who has no role in the scene today has also come. The main thing is to run in with the crew and strive to make this movie perfect. The others have no opinion on this, after all, they are not paid low.
