Chapter 95: Gu Xiaoqi's thank-you gift
Since that day, Xia Yichen seemed to have disappeared, and he didn't appear in front of Gu Xiaoqi for a long time.
In fact, Xiaoqi didn't have the extra energy to pay attention to Xia Yichen.
"Xiaoqi, "Happy Journey" also sent a letter of explanation." Shen Wan'er's face was ugly, this was the fifth termination letter she had received this week.
"How many are left?"
Wan'er flipped through the email, and finally said with difficulty: "Except for the "Planet Rescue Project", there is no more. ”
"Since they don't want my money, let it be as they wish." Gu Xiaoqi said without sadness or joy.
After the establishment of the studio, she invested in a lot of dramas, including TV series and movies, and her money was not small, and the least one had 20 million.
But just after she broke the "scandal", those crews appointed lawyers to ask for the termination of the contract, not only did they not want her money, but they also wanted to compensate her.
It's really the first time she's seen the crew who turned away money, and it's ridiculous to think about their faces when they asked for money in the first place.
"But if we all cancel the contract, we will only have one project left in our hands." Shen Wan'er said disapprovingly, it was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
In the entertainment industry, it has always been the uncle who has been rich, and the status of investors has always been above the director and actors.
She Gu Xiaoqi has set a special precedent.
There is no project investment, no drama to film, and the studio has become an empty shell.
"Xiaoqi, what now?" Liu Qianyu asked timidly.
In the past, with the support of the ninth master, Xiaoqi walked sideways in the circle, and now when he sees Xiaoqi "falling out of favor", he is in a hurry to spoil people.
"It's okay, it's me!" After saying this, Gu Xiaoqi dialed a number that he hadn't called for a long time.
"Hello?" It took a while for someone to answer.
"Director Lin, it's me, Gu Xiaoqi."
"Well, what's wrong?" Lin Xi asked coldly, which was very consistent with his character.
"I have a play in my hand, and I want to invite you to be the director, I don't know when you have time, I'll invite you to dinner." Gu Xiaoqi put his attitude very low, which can be called a pleasant face.
But Lin Xi didn't plan to give her steps, "I'm sorry, I haven't had a schedule recently." ”
He lied.
The drama that Gu Xiaoqi invested in before has just been released, and the response is good, Lin Xi should still be on vacation at this time, and he didn't choose a book. But he didn't even want to pretend, so he refused, and he didn't even look at the meaning of the book.
Now it's really feng shui in turn.
It's just that after Gu Xiaoqi quit the crew, he invested regardless of his previous suspicions, and Lin Xi was achieved.
Lin Xi is - can be regarded as a grace and revenge.
"I'm sorry, I still have something to do." After Lin Xi finished speaking, he didn't wait for Gu Xiaoqi to react, and hung up the phone directly.
After that, Gu Xiaoqi made a few more phone calls, all of which were directors she had been in contact with, although everyone unanimously rejected her, but their attitudes were very gentle and easy to accept.
This makes Lin Xi look like a white-eyed wolf.
The phone calls went round and round, and in the end, they all failed. Gu Xiaoqi now has a book and money, but no director is willing to take over the filming.
She is now like a hen with a golden egg, but she suffers from living in the desert and no one cares about her.
However, there is no endless road, and just when Gu Xiaoqi himself was about to give up, a person took the initiative to find the door.
"Director Zhao?" It was none other than Zhao Zhen.
He won the Best Director Award at the Hundred Flowers Award for "Tracking", and he has been in the limelight recently, and I heard that countless people come to visit him every day, begging him for filming with money.
"I heard you're looking for a director?" Zhao Zhen is still always direct, never dragging mud and water, "I'm here." ”
"Director Zhao." Gu Xiaoqi glanced at Shen Wan'er, and when she saw the other party's flattering smile, she immediately understood, "Director Zhao, I thank you for your help." Well, do you know what kind of movie I'm going to make? ”
Gu Xiaoqi almost pointed to Zhao Zhen's nose and said, you, a literary film director who won the Hundred Flowers Award, come to make any commercial films, and you are not afraid of being laughed at.
And she is not optimistic about Zhao Zhen, although the other party is very talented, he is too young and has no experience in shooting commercial films at all.
The corners of Zhao Zhen's mouth curved, squeezing out a not-so-good-looking arc, "Do you have a better choice than me?" ”
No.
Gu Xiaoqi replied in his heart.
She has contacted all the famous commercial film directors in China, but none of them are willing to accept it, and she doesn't want to hand over this work to foreigners, so it seems that Zhao Zhen is indeed her best choice.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoqi was persuaded by himself, "Director Zhao, thank you." I'll send you the script. ”
"No, I've already read the book." Zhao Zhen looked lazy and underbeaten, "You won't think that I haven't even read the script, so I'll rush to pick up the job." ”
Gu Xiaoqi: "......" Sure enough, Zhao Zhen's mouth was not suitable for speaking, and the emotions that had just risen in her heart dissipated like this.
The director is decided, and the preparation of the film is half completed.
However, that half is not half as easy as finding a director.
Gu Xiaoqi caused a lot of "troubles" before and offended half of the people in the entertainment industry, and the younger generation of Xiaohuaer did not hate Gu Xiaoqi, so in the huge entertainment industry, she couldn't even find a pleasing heroine.
"Gu Xiaoqi, you are really a troublemaker." Zhao Zhen chose the corner of the morning, and his face turned blue with anger.
He was obviously looking for a female number one with good facial features and a heroic spirit, but what kind of crooked melons and cracked dates came out.
With over-plastic faces, they didn't dare to cry or laugh, Zhao Zhen was afraid that their noses would fall off halfway through the filming.
Gu Xiaoqi also followed Zhao Zhen throughout the whole process, so she knew in her heart that someone was deliberately disgusting her.
Aren't you Gu Xiaoqi disdainful of plastic surgery, aren't you born beautiful, so what are you looking for plastic surgery face to film?
In the next few days, the situation did not improve, and even some eighteenth-tier Internet celebrities dared to look down on the crew.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and there is no way to go on without actors.
"Otherwise, Xiaoqi will act by herself." Shen Wan'er said the thoughts that had been held in her heart for a long time.
The other people in the room also looked at her, but Gu Xiaoqi thought about it and still refused, "I can't." ”
Although the previous popularity has decreased, the audience can accept to watch the movies she invested, but they may not necessarily buy the movies she makes. If someone smears her behind her back and arranges some scandals, she is not afraid, but she can't take the entire crew to gamble.
"Wan'er, are you interested in acting?" Gu Xiaoqi raised his head and looked at Shen Wan'er with a serious expression.
"I, I'm ...... like this" The female elite in trousers seems to have become the soft and bullied bag with no self-confidence.
She hadn't been like this in a long time.
Since leaving the cage of the Shen family, she has worked hard to lose weight, make up for her industry knowledge, and has become a well-known agent in the circle from an inexperienced novice, and some people have begun to respectfully call her Sister Wan'er.
"Wan'er, tell me, do you want to play this female number one?" Gu Xiaoqi asked again.
At the beginning, Shen Wan'er was a rare high-achieving student in school, but because of image problems, she rarely had the opportunity to play an important role.
But no matter how small the role is, it becomes wonderful after her interpretation.
Supporting Wan'er was originally part of her plan, but the time was advanced.
Shen Wan'er hesitated, but quickly became firm again, "I want to act." ”
"Okay." Gu Xiaoqi smiled, this was the first time she smiled from the bottom of her heart in so many days.
"Director Zhao, the heroine has been found."
Zhao Zhen's small eyes scanned Shen Wan'er like searchlights, and ten minutes later, he let out a voice almost imperceptibly: "Hmm." ”
Before Shen Wan'er could be happy, Zhao Zhen continued: "Lose another twenty catties." ”
At this time, Shen Wan'er had lost a lot of weight, one meter seven in height, one hundred and thirty pounds, because of the good proportions of her figure, she did not look strong.
But this is still far from Zhao Zhen's requirements, he does not ask Shen Wan'er to lose weight and gain muscle, in order to be close to the image of the female soldier in the play.
The high-intensity training made Shen Wan'er miserable, but she insisted without complaining, and in just half a month, there was a reborn change.
During this time, Zhao Zhen also found the male protagonist, who was recommended by Ji An.
The person named Wu Yong, in his early thirties, had short hair and showed that well-defined face. This is a very masculine actor, but it does not conform to the mainstream aesthetics.
Now everyone likes fair-skinned, delicate eyebrows and eyes, but teenagers, such "old" actors have almost no market.
But Zhao Zhen likes it.
He always looks at acting skills when he chooses actors, not their looks.
The actor was decided, and the crew of "Planet" was like a hanging, and the originally stagnant casting became active again, and Zhao Zhen really picked a few good seedlings.
Gu Xiaoqi looked at the email sent by Zhao Zhen and fell into deep thought.
Before, because the actors came in batches, she didn't see the problem, but now when they are put together, you can easily find that several actors belong to the same agency.
And this brokerage company is inextricably linked to M Moser.
Gu Xiaoqi couldn't help laughing: she said that it was not such a coincidence, it turned out that the overnight transfer was all thanks to Mu Liancheng, the big koi.
Silently accepted the gift, Gu Xiaoqi secretly returned the gift.
So that night, Mu Liancheng dragged his tired body home, and saw Wang Ma coming over with this big box.
"Ninth Master, this is something that Miss Gu sent me."
Xiaoqi? Mu Liancheng's eyes lit up, he eagerly lifted the lid of the box, and then only glanced at it, and quickly closed it again!
Mu Liancheng's face was cold, but he couldn't cover his red ears.
He drove away Wang Ma and quietly opened the gift box.
I saw a delicate tuxedo inside, the black fabric was embroidered with lace and outlined with gold threads, which looked noble and elegant.
It doesn't matter, what matters is that a pink bow is placed on the top of the dress, and there is a long pink tail.
Mu Liancheng: "......" Xiaoqi What are you going to do!
