"Brother Lin goes, accompany me to the bank to withdraw some cash." Gu Weiqi got into a black Tang Dynasty car.

Lin Zhenying followed and sat down, while Long Ying drove the car to the bank.

Gu Weiqi took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, gave one to Lin Zhenying and Long Ying, lit one himself, and said slowly: "Brother Lin, you have worked hard for this time. How are 'Mr. Phantom' and 'Happy Ghost' filming going? ”

"I've been shooting more than half of the way through now. It is estimated that in another ten days and a half months, it will be almost finished. ”

"Oh, that's good. Now how is the release of our 'national art' in Taiwan and Yueben? ”

"It's very popular, and some time ago, there were several newspapers in Taiwan that reported that several viewers had a rush because of grabbing movie tickets."

"Is there such a thing?" Gu Weiqi said in surprise.

"Anyway, it's reported in the newspaper, but I don't know if it happened."

Lin Zhenying chuckled: "But when we went to Taiwan to promote, we witnessed the grand queue of ticket buyers in several movie theaters. In addition, two days ago, the "Read the News" report reported that the box office over there had broken the 12 billion yen mark, breaking many records. ”

"12 billion?" Gu Weiqi was really surprised this time, and he really deserved to be the largest movie box office in Asia, reaching 12 billion yuan, which shows the popularity of this film.

In fact, since World War II, the economy has developed very rapidly, and people's purse money has swelled, and their education level has also increased. The corresponding consumption level has also increased a lot. So at that time, it was indeed the largest ticket warehouse in Asia. Like many Hollywood blockbusters and well-made movies in Xiangjiang, they can generally get high box office over there.

"Yes."

Lin Zhenying nodded, and continued: "Since our 'National Art Grandmaster's Start from Scratch' has been released in Europe and the United States, there have been many follow-up works in the Xiangjiang film industry recently. What 'Eagle Claw Grandmaster', 'Fat Mantis Grandmaster', 'Dragon Claw Grandmaster', 'Haw Par Grandmaster', etc., all kinds of grandmasters are simply endless. ”

Gu Weiqi sighed and said: "What is expected, our movie is so popular in Europe and the United States, it is strange that they don't take the opportunity to follow the trend to make money." ”

Lin Zhenying said funny: "Except for a few rumors that make money, everything else is basically a mess and loses all your money!" ”

Gu Weiqi sneered: "You deserve to hit the street, if you don't study the script well, you will know that following the trend, if you don't hit the street, it's a strange thing." ”

The two of them were talking, and before they knew it, they came to their own Yanlong Development Bank. As the big boss of the bank, Gu Weiqi naturally does not need to wait in line to withdraw money. So it was soon mentioned that 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Originally, he wanted to mention 20 million, but considering that there were too many dividends to everyone, it might not be a good thing. Therefore, he only withdrew 10 million in cash, and then drove to Yushanfang International Restaurant.

On the way to the car, Gu Weiqi asked again: "Brother Lin, during the time I went to the United States, what films were released in our Tang Dynasty theaters?" ”

"The previous release was 'The Great Diamond Robbery', which got a box office of 28.9 million Hong Kong dollars in one month after its release. Now it is 'Mr. Zombie', which has been in theaters for ten days and has received 12.3 million box office. It is estimated that there should be no problem with exceeding 25 million in the first month of release. After 'Mr. Zombie' finishes painting, everything will have to be on summer vacation. What I discussed with Chen Xunqi was to take the opportunity to put the 'happy ghost' on top when the time came. ”

"Well, that's a good arrangement. By the way, has the company recruited potential artists and behind-the-scenes personnel recently? ”

"Don't say it, Chen Xunqi got an open recruitment when he was looking for a 'happy ghost' actor, but he recruited a few good seedlings with good appearance. In addition, I filmed 'Mr. Phantom', starring newcomers Liang Huihui, Liu Furong and Wu Yongli selected from the Phoenix Artist Training Class. In addition, there are many people who automatically join our Donglai company. ”

"Oh." Gu Weiqi nodded and chuckled: "Hearing you say this, I really want to see what good seedlings Brother Qi has found." and Liu Furong has a good appearance, and Liang Yonghui is a very spiritual actor, so it is a good choice for you to use them to star. ”

The two of them were talking, and they came to the Jade Shan Fang International Restaurant, Gu Weiqi got out of the car, and just walked into the hall, he saw Fang Lingwei coming over, so he asked casually: "How many people are from our company?" ”

"There are more than 40 people in our company, and they have all come. In addition, Zhong Jinghui, Mei Yanfang, Ye Qianwen and Chen Huixian from Tianlai Company also came over. ”

Fang Lingwei told him: "Chen Xunqi said that some of the original crew of 'Guoshu Grandmaster Starting from Scratch' signed contracts to other companies, so they were not invited. I ordered the kitchen to prepare 6 tables for the banquet, all of which are of the highest standard according to your requirements. ”

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Sister Weiwei."

While talking, several people entered the elevator, and after getting out of the elevator, they soon came to a spacious and bright banquet hall. I saw that on the six tables of banquet in the banquet hall, five tables were all sitting. These people were talking and laughing and whispering. However, seeing Gu Weiqi, Lin Zhenying and Fang Lingwei, they all closed their mouths.

Gu Weiqi looked around and found that in addition to the people in the original company, there were also many familiar faces in the entertainment industry in the history of Xiangjiang. For example, the boxing champion Zhou Ratio in the Hong family class, Hong Jinbao's junior brother Yuan Hao, and Chen Baixiang, a former member of the Wenna band. The famous Qin Ling, as well as the famous director Lin Lindong, the famous photographer Lan Naicai, the famous screenwriter Huang Bingyao, and the stunt talent Luo Lixian, and the musician Huang Zhan. Even the famous art director Zhang Shuping is among them.

In addition, there are four young and beautiful girls, they are Guan Xiumei, known as the "sexy goddess" in history, star Ye Zimei, Li Yuanfeng, the runner-up of Miss Hong Kong in 1987, and Li Lizhen, who became famous in 1984 as "Happy Ghost". At this time, the four beautiful girls are not very old now, but they are all beautiful.

Gu Weiqi pondered in his heart, it is estimated that these beautiful girls are the "happy ghost" actresses openly recruited by Chen Xunqi. In fact, he guessed correctly, these beautiful girls are the heroines of the "happy ghosts" who are still filming. Because the release of "The Grandmaster of Guoshu from Scratch" caused a sensation in North America, when Chen Xunqi said that he was openly recruiting actors, it immediately attracted countless actors to audition.

It's just that what Gu Weiqi didn't expect was that after he went to the United States, the company actually gathered so many talents. Now that he is not short of funds and script ideas, Oriental Hollywood International Film Company is just around the corner to take off. I can't help but feel good when I think about it. He ordered Fang Lingwei to serve the food first, and then he strode into the main table in the center of the hall.

Around this table sat Chen Xunqi, Wang Jiawei, Liu Zhenwei, Huang Yongheng, Gu Qingshuang, Jiang Xin, as well as Xia Xuerong, the head of the film distribution company, and Lu Fang, the head of the video distribution company. It can be said that these people are the core members of the initial development of "Donglai Company". Without them, Gu Weiqi Donglai Company alone would never have developed into the current situation.

"Brothers and sisters. In my absence, everyone has worked hard. This time, the movies shot by our company can become famous in Europe and the United States and shock the ghosts, which is absolutely inseparable from everyone's efforts. Without your lovely and respectable brothers and sisters, Donglai Company would be nothing. ”

"The boss is polite, for the development of the company, we don't have anything to work hard."

"Yes, boss, watching our films now become famous in Europe and the United States, shocking ghosts, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it!"

"If you really want to talk about it, it's still the boss who is wise and martial, and the leader is well-organized!"

“……”

Everyone said.

As he spoke, the food and wine served on the table like a stream.

Gu Weiqi picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Here I want to toast you and thank you for everything you have done for the company." "Anyway, drink it all.

Everyone was moved by this, and they all raised their glasses and stood up, and drank all the wine in their glasses.

"There seem to be a lot of new faces here, and I think they are all new to the company recently. Maybe many people already know my brother, and there may be a few people who don't know me. Let me introduce myself, my brother's name is Gu Weiqi, you can call me Archie, or call me Mr. Gu. All in all, I welcome everyone to join Donglai Company. ”

He held the refilled glass and said in high spirits: "We have just created a box office myth in Europe and the United States, and we have broken many records in this book, but this is just the beginning. Believe me, brothers and sisters, in the future, we will surely create more myths, and we will surely achieve countless glories and glories! Here, I salute the newly joined brothers and sisters, and I hope that everyone will be able to show their strengths in the company in the future and realize their ideals and ambitions! Then he tilted his neck and drank the glass of wine.

Everyone was made enthusiastic by his words, and they became excited one by one as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Many old people who have been in the film industry for many years can't help but sigh in their hearts, although this boss doesn't look very old. But it sounds like it makes people's hearts full of energy. In just a few months, the small "Donglai Company" has become prosperous, and it seems that it is not without reason.

Gu Weiqi said something that was uplifting, but he felt that his stomach was growling with hunger, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's enjoy the banquet first." With that, he sat down, picked up a bowl of rice, picked up a piece of braised hooves and devoured it.

In the blink of an eye, he ate more than a dozen bowls of rice. Seeing others is dumbfounded. He smiled, lit a cigarette, took a slow puff, and began to look at the newcomers. But most of the time, his eyes swept straight at the new beautiful girls, and the men basically ignored them.

Just as he was peeking at it, suddenly Zhong Jinghui came over, Gu Weiqi waved his hand to sit down, and asked: "Mr. Zhong, have the records of the same name of 'Guoshu Grandmaster' of the same name and the 'Billiejean' and 'Kiss Goodbye (English Version)" that I sent you back have started to be released?" ”

"I was just about to report to you that this record, including the two singles you mentioned and 'ItisMyLife', have been released. At present, 1.58 million copies of these records have been sold in Xiangjiang alone. The self-titled album sold 580,000 copies, and the three singles sold more than 300,000 copies each. ”

Zhong Jinghui replied with a smile: "Up to now, the cumulative total sales of these records in Asia, including Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, Nanyang and Taiwan, have exceeded 16.8 million copies. It has created a net profit of nearly 220 million Hong Kong dollars for our 'Legend of Nature'. ”

It turned out that after Gu Weiqi sent back those records and singles in the United States, he asked Zhong Jinghui to start mass production and sale in Xiangjiang. Several songs from these records and singles were of the highest quality, and as soon as they hit the market, they immediately sparked a buying frenzy. In particular, the Japanese version of "Sunset Song" sold more than 6 million copies in the region. It's been at the top of the music charts for a few weeks now.

It is no exaggeration to say that "Ethereal Legend International Music Company" is now a large music company in Asia. And Gu Weiqi has naturally become a new rising star. In addition, Anita Mui's "Sunset Song" and Chan Wai Han's "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" have also achieved good results in Heung Kong and Taiwan, as well as in various regions of Southeast Asia.

Gu Weiqi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhong, continue to increase the development of distribution business in Asia." After Asia is stabilized, we will enter the European and American markets. ”

Zhong Jinghui stroked his eyes and said solemnly: "Don't worry, boss, I've been recruiting talents recently." ”
