After dinner, Gu Chen and Wang Guxian walked hand in hand on the path in the resort, the two were sometimes silent, sometimes chatting softly, sometimes smiling brightly, and sometimes making some intimate small movements, looking like a young couple who had just fallen in love. It wasn't until almost ten o'clock that the two of them remembered to go back to their room. Maybe he learned the lesson of last night, this time without waiting for Gu Chen to speak, Wang Guxian preemptively said: "It's late, I won't invite you in to sit, good night." When the words fell, she quickly kissed Gu Chen on the cheek and opened the door and ran into the room, leaving Gu Chen with only a closed door and the sound of laughter that seemed to linger in her ears.

Gu Chen was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses, and then smiled bitterly, the atmosphere tonight was so good, he originally planned to do something, but he didn't expect that his little thought Wang Guxian had already seen it in his eyes. However, judging from Wang Guxian's reaction before entering the room, if his attitude was resolute, maybe his little caution would have succeeded, but that would be boring, and it was also not what he wanted.

After getting along with each other these days, he finally understood a truth - an excellent woman always has too many reasons for people to like her and love her. That's right, unconsciously, he was really attracted to Wang Guxian, not only because of his beautiful appearance, but also because of many things that he himself couldn't explain. So since Wang Guxian is not ready, he doesn't want to be a beautiful woman, anyway, it will be a long time to come......

The next day, Gu Chen and Wang took a boat back to Phuket, and then flew back to Hong Kong. In order to avoid being photographed by reporters or recognized by fans, after getting off the plane, Wang Guxian left the airport through the normal passenger exit, while Gu Chen took the VIP channel.

The first thing I did when I returned to Hong Kong was to meet with Zeng Zhiwei, who had returned to Hong Kong earlier, to discuss the establishment of a film company. It is difficult to say that the regular film company can't help but need more talents, and also need to purchase various professional equipment, such as cameras, professional spotlights and other shooting equipment; Another example is the various equipment for editing movies...... Wait a minute. Purchasing these things is not only costly, but also cumbersome.

The reason for this is that a newly established film company can not be so professional, except for some necessary things, others can be rented from other film companies, and even film editing can be rented from other film companies.

After thinking about it, Gu Chen came up with a relatively compromise plan - cameras, professional spotlights, editing rooms, dubbing rooms, etc. should still be bought, and what should be done should still be obtained. Others are rented from other companies if needed, and he doesn't want to make his film company look like a leather bag company.

Zeng Zhiwei's actions were very fast, and after meeting with Gu Chen, he began to recruit with great fanfare, which is well known in the entertainment industry, in fact, several film companies open every day in Hong Kong, and several film companies go bankrupt, and the attention of this film company is mainly because Zeng Zhiwei used to be one of the "seven-person group" of the new art city. The second is Gu Chen, the big boss of the film company.

The new super idol in the music industry suddenly started a film company without doing his job, and this gimmick is enough to make entertainment headlines. Of course, there are sarcastics and wait-and-see people for Gu Chen's unscrupulous behavior, but few have a positive attitude, and this is because of Zeng Zhiwei, a collaborator.

It is said that Gu Chen has been busy recording the MV of the album in the past few days, although some comments and words from the outside world are not good, but they have not affected his mood, his idea is very simple - everything speaks with facts, and he will let the real achievements shut everyone up.

This afternoon, after dealing with the matter at hand, Gu Chen came to the film company, just out of the elevator the first thing that caught his eye was Tang Dynasty Film Co., Ltd., he couldn't help but smile, now the entire office building has been rented by the company, and a simple decoration has been carried out, and some professional equipment is being installed and commissioned. No, as soon as he turned a corner, he saw Zeng Zhiwei who was busy, and before he could say hello, Zeng Zhiwei also saw him: "Ah Chen, you're here, you go to your office first, and I'll go over immediately." ”

"You're busy, don't be in a hurry." Casually responded, Gu Chen came to his chairman's office, the area of the office is not large, only about 30 square meters, the decoration and layout are also very simple, only a desk, a large class chair, a bookcase and a set of sofas, but this is close to Central, the floor is high, standing in the window can see the busy Victoria Harbour, of course, there are the world-renowned skyscrapers, can have an industry there, even if it is only one floor, it is a symbol of wealth and status.

He is convinced that in the near future, there will be a place for itself.

After a few minutes, Zeng Zhiwei walked into the office, sat on the sofa, took a few breaths, and then said: "In two or three days, everything should be done, you don't know, I have lost several pounds during this time." By the way, aren't you busy shooting the MV, how do you have time to come over? ”

Gu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Those who can work harder." As he spoke, Gu Chen walked to the sofa opposite Zeng Zhiwei and sat down: "The MV has been filmed, and I came here today mainly to tell you that I will leave for Japan and South Korea to promote the day after tomorrow, and it may take a week to come back." There is also the issue of discussing the filming with you, you read both scripts last time, my idea is to be afraid of "The True Colors of Heroes" first, this kind of gunfight film with heroism has always been very popular with Hong Kong fans, relatively speaking, it will be safer, what do you think? ”

Zeng Zhiwei nodded when he heard this, and said: "The two scripts of "The True Color of Heroes" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" are very good, and the themes are also very in line with the tastes of the current audience. ”

After all, this is the company's first film, for the sake of safety, the director and actors had better choose to naturally copy the previous life, but since Zeng Zhiwei is the general manager of the company, Gu Chen naturally has to respect Zeng Zhiwei's opinion: "I have proposed a few candidates, you see if it is suitable, the director I plan to use Wu Yusen, this person you should be familiar with, has worked for Golden Harvest and New Art City for more than ten years, and is now in Tsui Hark's film studio, although in the past ten years, Wu Yusen has not made any too good movies, But after all, he studied under the famous action film director Zhang Che, and he should still be competent. In addition, I have watched several movies directed by Wu Yusen, and the more subtle, romantic and atmospheric style can better express the artistic conception I want to express in the script. ”

Worried that the persuasion was not enough, after the worst, Gu Chen affirmed that Wu Yusen was the best director of the film from the perspective of a screenwriter.

"I plan to let Zhang Guorong and Zhou Yanfa play Song Zijie and Mark in the film, but as for Song Zihao, I don't have a good candidate yet."

Originally, Gu Chen planned to copy it, but after thinking about it, he still set aside the role of Song Zihao for Zeng Zhiwei. Anyway, the most outstanding thing in the whole film is Zhou Runfa, who can only be regarded as the third male in terms of film structure and subdivision. It is not a big problem for Song Zihao to change the role.

Seeing that Gu Chen only left a male number two, the rest of the tone knew that the road had basically been decided, Zeng Zhiwei wanted to emphasize to Gu Chen, "You said that I would be in charge of all the daily affairs of the company", but he still held back, the cooperation between the two had just begun, and he didn't want to be unpleasant.

In fact, he still agrees with the roles of Song Zijie and Mark sent by Zhang Guorong and Zhou Yan. It's just that Wu Yusen is going to direct this film, he doesn't dare to agree, as Gu Chen himself said, Wu Yusen has not made a really good work for more than ten years, in this case, is it too risky to hand over the first film of Tang Dynasty Film Company to such a director?

"I don't have any opinions on the actors, but it's too risky to let Wu Yusen direct."

"Do you have a better candidate?"

This question stopped Zeng Zhiwei, he had been busy with various things prepared by the company before, and the director and role candidates of the film had not seriously thought about it, but at this time, Gu Chen suddenly asked like this, and he really couldn't think of a good candidate for a while.

In fact, Gu Chen has already thought about this problem, in the Hong Kong film industry in the 80s and 90s, only Wu Yusen, Lin Lingdong and To Qifeng were the best at making gunfight films, Wu Yusen will not talk about it, Lin Lingdong in 86 has just returned from Canada for three or four years, but he has made two or three movies, and the response is average, and his fame is worse than Wu Yusen. As for To Qifeng, he is still filming TV series on TVB.

"I think it's Wu Yusen." Seeing Zeng Zhiwei's expression a little stiff, he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant to go, saying that he had said very well in the hotel that day, and now he seemed to be a little bit of a backsliding and not admitting it, so he changed his words and said: "But we can make an agreement, if this film is smashed, I will no longer ask about anything related to the filming from now on, just invest, how about it?" ”

Having said that, Zeng Zhiwei would be a little too unkind if he objected again, and finally said helplessly: "Then so be it." The preparation of the film can start the day after tomorrow, and since he doesn't need any location, if the director and actors have no problem with the schedule, they can be scared after a week. ”
