Chapter 034 Looking for the heroine

"That's great." Gu Weiqi casually took out a cheque book from his pocket, swiped and signed a cheque for 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, and sent it to Huang Yongheng and said: "Now Brother Yongheng, you go to find a shooting location first, if you don't have enough funds, you can take care of me at any time." ”

"Okay." Huang Yongheng saw that the boss was so simple, so he picked up the check and left in a hurry.

"Sister Shuang, you first make a few contracts, including the actor contract and the filming venue rental contract, and get it out as soon as possible. Sister Xu's main job at present is not only responsible for the financial affairs of our company, but also responsible for the use of funds for the 'chasing girls' crew. ”

Gu Qingshuang and Jiang Xin glanced at each other and nodded, and they also left one after another to actively start their work.

"Brother Wei, you immediately go to Phoenix TV Company to rent two cameras, and buy some high-quality high-quality film."

As Gu Weiqi spoke, he also signed a check for 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, and advised: "I also went to Charm Baby International Clothing Company to customize all the costumes in the storyboard I drew in two sets." ”

Wang Jiawei, who has always been known as the "King of Ink", did not have ink this time, and left in a hurry after taking the money.

"Now let's discuss the role of this film, and if the actor is played by myself, there is no need to discuss it anymore. is mainly the heroine, who is better to use in Zhen Viagra and Brother Lin according to your opinion? Gu Weiqi looked at Liu Zhenwei and Lin Zhenying and asked.

Liu Zhenwei groaned: "Recently, Yang Xuanpan has been in the limelight, and I think it is better to use Yang Xuanpan." ”

"Hmm." Lin Zhenying nodded and said, "Yang Zhenpan has good kung fu for this girl, and she has more experience in acting, so she can try it." ”

"Yang Xuanpan?" Gu Weiqi raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "Yang Xuanpan is good, but I feel that she seems to be lacking in aura. The heroine of our drama needs the momentum of a queen. It's not appropriate to use her, think about it again, there is no suitable one? ”

Lin Zhenying proposed: "How is Zhao Yuzhi? ”

"Well, Zhao Yuzhi is beautiful enough, but she lacks the heroine's heroism, which is inappropriate."

"What about Wang Mingquan?"

"She's okay, but now that our Phoenix TV and wireless are in the same boat, I'm afraid that Shao Tycoon won't let her go."

Gu Weiqi sighed secretly, recalling the action actresses in history, at this time, the "Queen of Fists and Feet" Yang Ziqiong and the "Beauty Star" Yang Liqing have not yet grown up. As for the "Spicy Hand Overlord Flower", Hu Yizhong has just debuted for less than two years, and he has not yet transformed into an action actor. It's said that Fujimi, a black belt in karate, is more suitable to play this kind of heroine with a strong aura, but I always feel awkward in myself.

Liu Zhenwei and Lin Zhenying glanced at each other and said speechlessly: "This is not good, that is not appropriate, then boss, who do you say is better?" ”

"In my opinion......" Gu Weiqi thought about it carefully, and suddenly said: "It is very suitable for Lin Qingxia, the first beauty in Southeast Asia, to play the heroine." ”

"I'm afraid it's impossible for you to want her to appear in this play, it is rumored that she is now relaxing in the United States." Liu Zhenwei reminded.

"How do you know?"

"There is a report in the newspaper that he was originally engaged to Qin Xianglin, but I don't know why he broke the engagement again."

"I see." Gu Weiqi frowned, pondered for a while, and said, "Then don't care about the heroine for now, let's go to Phoenix Company and select other actors." The heroine said last. ”

"It's fine."

So Gu Weiqi drove Liu Zhenwei and Lin Zhenying to Phoenix Company, and after finding Huang Xizhao, he asked him to take all the artist information, and the three of them buried their heads in looking through it.

After watching it for an afternoon, after the last three of them studied it, it was decided that Zheng Wenya, the champion of Miss Hong Kong last year, would play Zhang Tong, Zhu Jia would be played by Yu Pu'an, and Cao Jingjing would be played by Li Saifeng, who had just joined Phoenix. Li Wanji has a cameo appearance by Wei Hagihua. In terms of actors, Chen Xunqi, Chen Kuian, Zeng Jiang, Zhang Guorong and Lin Zhenying made guest appearances as Captain Cao, Chen Wuyang, drug dealers, Li Feng and Zhao Jun respectively. The male number two Zhao Xinlong is played by Huang Yuansheng, a popular student of Phoenix TV.

As soon as this news was released, it immediately caused a shock from Phoenix Company. It must be known that Gu Weiqi wants to shoot this "National Art Grandmaster: Starting from Scratch" claims to invest 10 million Hong Kong dollars, this is a big production with an investment of more than 10 million, a big cast movie, and it is undoubtedly very lucky to be able to star in this film.

The actors who were selected naturally had no opinions, and Zheng Wenya and Yu Pu'an needless to say were both beautiful women. Li Saifeng is a famous action martial arts actress in Xiangjiang in history. Yang Yaman, who made his debut in the Lishi TV series "The Kindness of the Earth", went to study again after acting in TV. If it weren't for Gu Weiqi's rebirth, he would have starred in the action drama "Drunken Boxing King Wuji" in 1984 in history, laying a solid foundation in Lishi's position as the leading actress.

Wei Haohua used to be "Jiashi" Hua Dan, and after the collapse of "Jiashi", it has not starred in a drama series since Lishi. However, after jumping to "Phoenix TV", he played an important supporting role in "Huo Yuanjia". However, what impressed Gu Weiqi was the role of Huang Rong in Gu Tianle's version of "The Condor Heroes".

Needless to say, Chen Xunqi now gave him one percent of the shares of Donglai Company, and it must be no problem for him to play a role. Chen Kuian, a famous green leaf actor in the Xiangjiang film industry, has been called the "Four Villains" with He Jiaji, Huang Liliang and other four people, and has participated in many movies, and now it has been transferred to Phoenix TV.

Zengjiang is also a well-known gold medal supporting actor in the Xiangjiang film industry, "brother" Zhang Guorong needless to say, everyone on the earth knows it.

However, the heroine has never been found, and the three important male characters of "Bullet of Death", "Violent Bear" and "Hungry Wolf" have not found a suitable one. This gave Gu Weiqi a headache, you must know that these roles are also very important.

Especially the heroine, without her, this film can't be made at all. And if you find someone to top it at random, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the excitement and quality of this film. So he asked Liu Zhenwei and Lin Zhenying to find a way, after all, they have been in the film industry for so many years, and when it comes to contacts, they are definitely much more extensive than him.

"It's relatively easy to find a few foreigners in Xiangjiang."

Liu Zhenwei patted his chest and said, "This matter is on me, and it will be done properly as soon as possible." The key is the heroine, who do you think is more appropriate? After all, you wrote the script, you should know more than us, let's talk about it, let's see how we contact us. ”

Gu Weiqi rubbed his temples, sighed and said, "Forget it, you just need to help me find those three killer actors." As for the heroine, if it really doesn't work, let Yang Yanpan play it. ”

"Okay, you wait for our news." Liu Zhenwei said that he left with Lin Zhenying in a hurry.

And Gu Weiqi directly found Yang Yanpan and told her to let her play the heroine of the film "The Grandmaster of Guoshu Starting from Scratch", a film with an investment of 10 million.

Yang Xuanpan was taken aback and said in disbelief: "Mr. Gu, are you sure you want me to play the heroine of this movie?" This is a blockbuster with an investment of tens of millions, so I'm not afraid that I will smash it? ”

"It doesn't matter." Gu Weiqi smiled and said generously: "This little money is nothing to me at all. I won't blame you even if I mess up, you don't have to worry too much. Now the question is whether you would like to play the heroine? ”

"Mr. Gu, you are so wealthy, how could I not be willing? But if you mess up, you will lose your money, so don't feel distressed when the time comes! ”

"Don't worry, I haven't taken this money to heart yet. And I believe that with the two of us joining forces, we will definitely not lose money. I have a hunch that this is destined to be a big hit. Let's take a look at the script first. As he spoke, he gave the prepared script to the other party.

After a quick glance, Yang Xuanpan nodded and said, "In terms of storyline and action design, this film is really good. However, some of the action scenes are still quite difficult for me, and I am afraid that I will not meet the requirements in the script. ”

"You don't have to worry about that, you really can't use a stand-in." Gu Weiqi waved his hand.

"Then I'll be fine."

"No, this 500,000 is your salary." Gu Weiqi happily signed a check for Yang Yanpan and said, "After the movie is finished, I will give you the remaining 500,000." ”

"Mr. Gu, do you really give me a million salary?" Yang Xuanpan took the check and said movingly.

"Of course, the heroine of this movie is one million Hong Kong dollars, so I naturally can't break my promise."

Gu Weiqi smiled, and changed his words: "However, I won't give you an increase in the salary for filming TV episodes for the time being." After all, if you go up too much, other actors will definitely have opinions. When the time comes, everyone asks for an increase in salary, and I can't bear it. I hope you can understand, but don't worry, as long as this movie makes money after its release, I will never treat you badly. ”

"I understand Mr. Gu, don't worry. In fact, I'm already very happy to be able to participate in your movie, and as for the million-dollar salary, to be honest, I didn't even dare to think about it before. Now I still feel like a dream, 500,000 yuan, this is the first time I have been in the industry for so many years, and I have received such a high salary. ”

"This is the beginning, as long as you perform well, I will definitely make you an international superstar. When the time comes, just getting paid will get you soft. ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I will definitely do my best."

"Don't be so polite, just call me Archie."

In order to build momentum for the upcoming filming of "The Grandmaster of Guoshu Starting from Scratch", Gu Weiqi immediately arranged for a reporter from the "China Entertainment Times" to give Yang Yipan an exclusive interview. After all, the salary of 1 million Hong Kong dollars is a good gimmick to promote "the grandmaster of national art from scratch".

And this is a blockbuster news in itself, you must know that there has never been an actress in Hong Kong and Taiwan who has received such a high salary.

Of course, this is also a good opportunity for Yang Yipan to enhance his prestige and fame. Although her reputation is already not small, this time Gu Weiqi spent 1 million Hong Kong dollars in salary to push her to the throne of the top Chinese actress in one fell swoop. Therefore, I accepted this interview with each other.
