Chapter 37: The Celebration Banquet

No matter what kind of banquet, the first link of the opening is always indispensable for the leader's speech.

In terms of China Film, in addition to Director Han, who is specifically responsible for film docking, Han Sanping, the third master known in the circle, also attended.

This is not unexpected, it shows that China Film attaches great importance to the movie [Embroidered Spring Knife] and to Lu Yang, a potential new star director.

Chairman Han is well-known in the circle for his penchant for digging and helping new directors, as long as you have the ability, he is not stingy with resources to help you.

The most famous of them is director Ning Hao.

As we all know, Ning Hao's famous [Crazy Stone] was filmed by Andy Lau with a capital of 3 million, but what people don't know is that Han Sanping is also the producer of the movie [Crazy Stone].

After the success of "Crazy Stone", Han Sanping served as a producer, and China Film successively invested in Ning Hao's "Crazy Racing", "No Man's Land" and other films.

Among them, the movie "No Man's Land" was successfully filmed in early 2009, and it was released six times, and it was rejected six times and failed to pass the review.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the style of the movie itself, there are almost no good people throughout this movie, and the tone of the film is too dark.

In December 2013, after nearly 5 years, the movie was finally released, achieving a good box office and good reputation.

Obviously, Han Dong is also very optimistic about Lu Yang now.

Although China Film has a big family, it has lost a lot of money in order to invest in movies over the years.

The former Han Dong superstitious director invested in the great director Wu Yusen [Chibi].

It's the classic 'Meng Meng, stand up!' ’

The plot or something is simply powerless to complain, and Sun Shangxiang can also infiltrate Cao Ying to steal information? Does this despise our Boss Cao, or do you think that Boss Cao only loves his wife and is not interested in Sun Shangxiang, who is not married yet?

[Chibi Upper and Lower] has a total investment of 610 million yuan, and the total domestic box office is 580 million. It's a loss to grandma's house.

Although the box office is only 220 million, it has little investment, only 30 million investment, which is the rate of return.

And the distribution is also done by China Film, and the distribution fee makes another profit.

On stage, Han Dong first thanked the crew for their dedication to the movie, thanked everyone for making a popular and excellent film, and then thanked the media for their support for the movie.

Then he praised Lu Yang violently, bluntly saying that he is the future of Chinese films, and the meaning of valuing him is overflowing.

Lu Yang was a little embarrassed to be praised in the audience, but he was still full of excited smiles, and applauded from time to time.

Previously, the organizers also wanted Gu Wei to speak on stage - in the name of the other party's investors. was rejected by Gu Wei.

Although it is a celebration party of the [Embroidered Spring Knife] movie, Gu Wei knows that the owner of the celebration party is China Film, and the protagonist is director Lu Yang. No one could steal the limelight from him.

Although Gu Wei is one of the investors, others are just lucky for him, and he happens to be Lu Yang's friend. mainly likes his identity as an actor.

Gu Wei didn't want to be in the limelight, anyway, he invested money, and the project was not controlled by himself, so it was not good to make a fortune quietly.

After the leader on the stage finished speaking, the staff pushed up a sculpture of the number 226800000 made of ice cubes, and then invited Lu Yang, Gu Wei, and Liu Yifei to the stage.

The three of them, plus Han Dong and a small hammer, smashed the ice sculpture under the witness of media friends.

Han Dong and Lu Yang stood in the middle, Gu Wei and Liu Yifei stood on both sides, knocked twice and asked the media to take photos.

Then came the sharing session, and the host invited all the actors of the crew to the stage. Everyone began to share some interesting stories in the crew and complained about the hard work of filming at the beginning. I also answered questions from some media from time to time.

A reporter asked Wang Qianyuan, "What impressed you the most in the crew?" ”

He smiled bitterly, "The most impressive thing is horseback riding, filming and riding a horse for a day, the butt grinds off two layers of skin, and you have to sleep on your stomach at night." ”

"And who do you think rides the best?"

"Dong Xue rides the best, he has the demeanor of a man on horseback, but he can't drink well, we go out to eat, and he is the first to lie down." After speaking, the actors of the crew were happy.

"Director Sang, we all know that the martial arts scenes in the movie [Embroidered Spring Knife] are extremely exciting, who do you think of all the actors in the crew who fights the best."

Sang Gui thought for a moment and said, "Gu Wei, although he didn't have much foundation like everyone else at the beginning, he made the fastest progress. ”

"I know this, Gu Wei goes out every day before dawn to practice movements and routines. When I get up and go out, I always meet him coming back after practicing the knife," Wang Qianyuan interjected.

"Gu Wei, how does it feel to cooperate with Liu Yifei?" The reporter asked Gu Wei again.

"Sister Yifei is very beautiful, she takes good care of me on the set, although she is a big star, she has an approachable personality.

It's too late for 'she' to like 'me', and 'I' have to block 'her' to be moved.

If I have the opportunity to cooperate with Sister Yifei again, I hope that 'she' can take the initiative next time and don't let 'me' get hurt again. Gu Wei said with a smile.

"Yifei, what do you think of what Gu Wei said?"

"Well, I think he's right, but you have to find a director and screenwriter for this."

Liu Yifei said with a smile.

At the end of the interactive session, all the cast and crew members came to the stage and everyone took a group photo.

Then it's time to sit down and eat, and the banquet begins.

Everyone is staggered, you toast me, I toast you.

The first was to celebrate the big hit of the movie, and everyone was very happy.

The results of [Embroidered Spring Knife] are so good, everyone here has dividends, whether it is the actors or the crew members, this is an important resume for them.

The other is to meet more people and build good relationships. Entertainment is a circle, and only if you can do a good job in interpersonal relationships, can you mix in this circle for a longer time.

At the dining table, Liu Yifei touched Gu Wei with his elbow

"Let's make a lot of money with this movie."

"What's the matter, I'm just a small investor, and the big head is China Film. Zhongying eats meat, and I drink the broth. "Gu Wei said, 'Well, there's nothing wrong with what I said, the top layer of soup is full of meat, broth!'

Lu Yang was the busiest person at the whole banquet, and people from all walks of life toasted him, and the actors also toasted one by one, thanking the director for giving him the opportunity, and hoping to think about himself again next time.

are all at the same table, Gu Wei also came to Lu Yang's side with wine, "Senior brother, I will toast you." ”

"Our senior brothers still use this set, isn't it a foreign way." Lu Yang said

"Senior brother, do you have any new movie plans recently?" Gu Wei asked, he had some thoughts in his heart.

Lu Yang thought for a while and said, "I have exhausted my efforts in filming [Embroidered Spring Knife] over the years, and I don't have any new ideas for the time being, but [Embroidered Spring Knife] box office is so good, I should shoot the second part, and you will definitely be the protagonist by then." ”

Lu Yang thought that Gu Wei was here to ask for a role.

"Senior brother, do you remember what I told you before?" Gu Wei asked

"Before~" Lu Yang thought for a moment, "Ah, I remembered, you said that you were going to make a movie." What you're saying is true. I always thought you were joking. ”

"I did have this idea before, and now the idea is getting more and more perfect, and I will write the script in a few days, and you can help me read it, senior brother. If you really want to shoot, you must help your junior brother. Gu Wei said.

"No problem, you can do it, I promised you this a long time ago, anyway, I originally planned to take a break after the end of [Embroidered Spring Knife], and I didn't have anything to do." Lu Yang patted his chest and said.

Gu Wei's goal was achieved, and he sat back proudly.

"Hey, what did you say to the director, why are you so happy when you come back?"

Liu Yifei asked Gu Wei in a low voice.

"Of course, talking to the director is about making movies." Gu Wei said

"The director is going to make a new movie again?" Liu Yifei asked in surprise

Although she doesn't have many roles in [Embroidered Spring Knife], she is a heroine, and the double harvest of [Embroidered Spring Knife] box office reputation is still very helpful to her career.

Looking back, this is basically the best word-of-mouth movie she has made over the years.

Director Lu Yang is very level, and if there is a new drama to work with, she is still very happy.

"I want to know, I won't tell you." Gu Wei teased her

Knowing that Gu Wei did it on purpose, Liu Yifei looked at him angrily.

"It's okay to tell you, unless you promise me one condition."

"On what terms?" Liu Yifei was a little puzzled, he shouldn't have mentioned any indescribable conditions.

"You owe me a meal." Gu Wei said

"Poof," Liu Yifei smiled, "I thought you were going to put forward some conditions, no, Xiao Guzi, I remember that you said in the crew that you owed me ten meals, and you didn't fulfill a single meal." ”

Now the nickname 'Xiao Guzi' is not only being called by Yang Zi, but also by Liu Yifei. Who made Gu Wei younger than her, and always loved to tease her.

"Well, what I owe you is what I owe you, and I will definitely pay you back. It has nothing to do with what you owe me. Gu Wei said seriously.

"Okay, good, one meal." Liu Yifei readily agreed.

"Actually, I told the director that I had an idea to make a movie, but I had never directed a film, and I didn't have any support in my heart, so I wanted the director to help me."

"You want to make a movie?" Liu Yifei looked surprised.

"That's right."

"Do you want to be a director and film?"

"What's the problem?"

"I remember that you are only a sophomore in the acting academy, and you are still an acting major. This is the first movie you've ever made! Gu Wei's thoughts really surprised her.

"yes, so what, don't you have ambitions?" Gu Wei was full of confidence.

"You don't have ambitions or are not old, I think you are a little floating." Liu Yifei slipped out of his mouth.

"Sister Yifei, pay attention to the personality, you are a goddess, how can you say that it is smooth."

"Who can invest you in making movies?" Liu Yifei asked the most important question

"Ask if China Film will vote, if not, I'll invest money and shoot it myself." Gu Wei said indifferently.

"Oh, I see." Liu Yifei suddenly realized.

"If Gu Dagongzi wants to act, he spends money to be a leading actor, and if he wants to film, he spends money to become a director.

Gu Dagongzi forgive me, the little girl was rude before. Liu Yifei said teasingly.

Regardless of whether Gu Wei can shoot well or not, she has to show respect for Gu Wei's money.
