However, on the formation of the crew and the director, the two started a discussion again. However, in order to make the filming requirements of this movie well-made, Gu Weiqi did not give an inch. After all, he knows the style of the people in the Shao's blockbuster studio system, and he can save it, but he can't bear to see a good film.

Seeing that Gu Weiqi didn't give an inch, Shao Tycoon had no choice but to give up, and the main personnel used people from Donglai Company. In addition, he provided the filming venue, and Gu Weiqi also told him the budget of 10 million Hong Kong dollars. He doesn't have any opinion on this, after all, it's hard to make a profit without roots. However, it is required to pat a financial officer in order to monitor the use of funds.

Gu Weiqi has nothing to do, anyway, the people in his company are very responsible, because just the dividends and various bonuses are soft, and it is impossible to embezzle filming funds under the guise of public welfare and private interests. After everything was negotiated, the two held a press conference in the afternoon of the same day, and officially signed the contract in front of dozens of media reporters.

The media reporters and the film industry were in an uproar when they learned the news, and they needed to know "wireless" and "phoenix"; The "Oriental Charm" secretly supported by the "Shao Family" and the Shao tycoon, but now someone has broken out, and it is no secret that it is in a hostile competitive relationship with the "Donglai Company".

Even when Gu Weiqi had just opened "Phoenix TV", the two had a fight. But now they are shaking hands and cooperating, which is naturally unthinkable to anyone. This is definitely big news. However, people with a keen sense of news soon realized that this time the two strong teams joined forces, I am afraid that there will be a big move.

Sure enough, after signing the cooperation agreement, Shao Daheng revealed the news of "Huang Feihong's Top Gun" with Donglai Company.

Immediately, a reporter couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Shao, why do you want to cooperate with 'Donglai Company'?" ”

"That's a good question." Shao Tycoon said with a smile: "As we all know, Mr. Gu Weiqi, the owner of Donglai Company, is young and promising, especially the films shot by the scripts written by him are all very popular. For such a talented person, someone naturally wants to cooperate with him. ”

Another humane: "So Mr. Gu, as far as I know, Donglai Company's business is thriving day by day, especially the films made are all selling well, there should be no shortage of funds, why do you choose to cooperate with Shao Tycoon?" ”

"It's very simple, the tycoon is highly respected."

Gu Weiqi emphasized with a smile: "Especially in the film industry, I am very experienced, and being able to work with such a filmmaker is also what I desire." I believe that this time our two companies will join forces and will definitely create a well-made and excellent film, please look forward to it! ”

Later, the media reporters at the scene of other issues mentioned it babblingly, one of the two people is a real old Jianghu, and the other has a soul in his body, and he is a guy who has dealt with the paparazzi countless times, and he can deal with the reporters' questions easily and without pressure.

However, just as the press conference was about to end, a reporter with a pair of black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose suddenly asked: "Mr. Gu, someone saw you and Zhao Yuzhi drinking tea together, and it is rumored that you are taking pictures?" I don't know if this news is true, please answer. ”

"Really?"

Gu Weiqi narrowed his eyes and stared at the other party for a cold time, although he still had a smile on his face, but there was a sharp light in his eyes, and he said lightly: "Who saw it?" Besides, drinking tea and chatting together, is that also called patting? Mr. Reporter, please ask you to have a basis for your next question. Otherwise, I'll sue you for slander. ”

The reporter was stared at by Gu Weiqi's gaze, and he felt as if an invisible blade was pressing on his neck, and a cold sweat broke out on his back at that time. Especially when he remembered that many gossip tabloids were smashed, he quickly lowered his head. Gu Weiqi is not an ordinary person, if he is really annoyed, I am afraid that he will not have his own good fruit to eat.

Then Gu Weiqi answered a few more questions and drove back to the company. He doesn't have to worry about the specific cooperation with Shao Tycoon, but there are still a lot of things he needs to deal with, and it is impossible to completely put his mind on this one thing. Especially in addition to the "Once Upon a Time" and "King Kong Gourd Baby" in collaboration with Shao Tycoon, there are also three films: "The Wrong Car", "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" and "The Fury of the Street King of Fighters".

However, when the two released the news, the boss of "Jiahe" and Lei Juekun, the big financier of "Xinyicheng", also received the news quickly. Both of these are human spirits, and after a little thought, they realized that something was wrong. Originally, they were not afraid of any of them, but now they have joined forces, but they have posed a great threat.

You must know that although the "Shao's" is declining now, you must know that there are still three pounds of nails in the rotten boat. What's more, the Shao family has a deep heritage, this time Shao Tycoon founded the "Oriental Charm", and now he has joined forces with the "Donglai Company", which is obviously a sign that he intends to do a lot again. Originally, the competition of Xiangjiang films was fierce enough, but now that the two major companies have joined forces, and under the sharing of resources, it can be said that the power formed is very huge.

And the threat and pressure on both companies is also enormous. Fortunately, Jiahe Film Company holds the trump card of Cheng Throat, and Xinyi City has excellent film talents such as Xu Laowei and Mecca, especially now that Wu Yusen, who has just jumped up, is preparing to make a blockbuster and completely launch the company's signboard.

Therefore, although the two bosses did not feel good, they did not panic much. In fact, to put it bluntly, in the film industry, in the final analysis, it depends on the quality of the film. If the quality is not good, even if ten companies join forces, it will be in vain, and the audience still won't buy it. If the quality is excellent, you can do whatever you want. Therefore, both bosses held an emergency meeting to deal with the grim situation of the two major film companies joining forces.

After Gu Weiqi returned to the company, he called the three directors Liu Zhenwei, Wang Jiawei and Lin Lindong, who were responsible for the preparation of "The Wrong Car", "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" and "The Wrath of the King of Fighters on the Street", to the office and asked how their work was progressing. Especially in terms of casting, he focuses on it, if the actors are not suitable for a film, it will ruin the whole film, which is definitely what he does not want to see, so as not to smash the golden signboard that Donglai Company has finally erected.

As we all know, Wang Jiawei has always been very inkblotted in filmmaking, and a "generation of grandmasters" dragged on and inkblot for many years before it was finally completed. It is precisely because of this that people give the nickname "King of Ink". Of course, it is precisely because of his ink making that although most of the films he made at the box office are losing more and making less money, he has won awards softly.

This time was the same, when Gu Weiqi asked about other progress, he hesitated and said that he was still selecting the right actor. However, he has already instructed people to find a shooting location. Gu Weiqi was speechless, this speed is really slow enough, if it is the "fast gunner" Wang Jing, it is estimated that the start-up ceremony will be released soon, and there is still no future on his side.

However, because "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" was the company's first serious horror film, in order to make the film well-made, he had to grind it slowly. But I couldn't help but urge him, let him come out as soon as possible for him to see, and if there was no problem, he would start the film as soon as possible, and let him go out to be busy.

However, Liu Zhenwei's work efficiency is very high, and according to his report, the actors who "took the wrong car" have basically been found. According to what was written in his work progress book, Gu Weiqi saw that he actually found Xiao Sheng to play the starring role in this movie, which made him stunned for a moment. The male protagonist "Dumb Uncle" in the original time and space is starring the famous actor Sun Yue, and the dumb uncle starring him is very expressive and can be said to be tear-jerking.

It is precisely because of his passionate performance that the film won Best Actor at the 12th Golden Horse Awards in 1983. and the supporting actress Man's sister-in-law, who was played by Jiang Xia, also won the Best Supporting Actress award; At the same time, the film also set a high box office of more than NT$4,000.

In particular, the theme songs and interludes of the film music composed by Hou Dejian, Li Shouquan, Luo Dayou, Liang Hongzhi, Wu Nianzhen and others, "If the wine is dry", "The same moonlight", "Whether", "Please follow me" are widely popular. Even the film's soundtrack has been hailed as the most important and outstanding work in the history of Chinese pop music.

Therefore, when Gu Weiqi wrote this script, he also drummed out the well-known songs at the same time. Now that he closed his eyes and compared Sun Yue and Xiao Sheng, it seemed that it was appropriate, so he agreed. As for the other Ami, Shi Junmai and Aman/Ah Ming starring Liu Ruiqi, Wu Shaogang and Li Liqun in the play, Liu Zhenwei found Li Saifeng, Liu Dehua, and Hui Tianci to make cameos, which is also for box office considerations.

And the role of "Sister-in-law" played by Jiang Xia in the original version has now become Ye Dexian, who is also an actor with good acting skills. Gu Weiqi took a cursory look at the main actors and agreed. However, in terms of the quality of the film, I said a few more words, you can't shoot it badly, even if it's slow, it doesn't matter.

Liu Zhenwei nodded solemnly and turned to leave.

Then Lin Lindong reported to Gu Weiqi that he had already coordinated the actors, and the crew was currently building a studio, and filming would start in a week at most. Gu Weiqi saw that the actor had Huang Yuansheng's name written on the cast list, and he thought in his heart that he wanted to make this person an international superstar, especially since the other party was also good. At present, it seems that in addition to himself, it is more suitable for him to play the leading role.

And the heroine "Yahua" Lin Lindong found Phoenix TV signed actor Rong Huiwen, thinking about it. The other supporting roles are played by Chen Kuian as the boss of the club "Smiling Tiger", and other roles include Meng Hi, Shang Ge Yunton, Liang Xiaolong and others making cameos, and the lineup is not strong. As long as the script is filmed in strict accordance with the script, I believe that it will definitely make a difference at the box office in the future.

After Gu Weiqi watched it, he chatted with Lin Lindong for an hour about the specific shooting and precautions of the film before letting him leave. Now the company's handling is almost the same. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. However, as soon as he wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, Shi Qi and the others brought the documents that various companies needed him to sign, and they had no choice but to work non-stop.

It wasn't until dusk that Gu Weiqi finished signing all kinds of documents. Stretching his waist, he just walked out of the office with his bag, but he ran into Li Yuanfeng and Ye Zimei who were wandering outside the door, and couldn't help but ask curiously what the two of them were doing.

The two glanced at each other, Li Yuanfeng hesitated, and then asked tentatively: "Mr. Gu, I heard that the company is about to start filming five new dramas?" ”

"That's the thing." Gu Weiqi nodded and said with a smile: "Your news is quite well-informed." Let's go, I'm going to eat, let's go together. If you have anything to say, let's eat and talk slowly. ”

The two readily agreed that it was also a pleasure to be able to let the boss treat him to dinner. Especially when the two heard that Boss Gu has a lot of industries under his name, and now he is worth a lot of money, if they can get closer to him, then the future work will definitely be much smoother.

Of course, this is also Gu Weiqi's thoughts about these two beautiful girls, otherwise he would not casually invite someone to dinner with his current status. However, the two did not mix well, although the two starred in a "happy ghost" before, the limelight was almost stolen by Li Lizhen and Guan Xiumei. Especially Ye Zimei's cameo is still a supporting role with not many scenes, and she is not as good as Li Yuanfeng.

Anyway, after Li Yuanfeng finished filming "Happy Ghost", she also took a few advertisements and made more money than her. Because she is not very famous, she can't even receive advertisements now. However, when filming with Li Yuanfeng, the two became good friends, and when they heard that the company would shoot five new dramas recently, the two plucked up the courage to find them, hoping to meet the boss and see if they could fight for a role.
