Zhao Mingcheng completed the entry procedures and officially became the general manager of [Wei Mingxia Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd.].

The film and television company is still an empty shell, and the first thing Zhao Mingcheng did when he took office was to recruit and build the company's structure as soon as possible.

With Yang Liwen's help, he quickly became familiar with the company's people and processes.

"Mr. Zhao, in addition to recruitment, your main job now is to help Producer Chen coordinate the filming of [Detective Chinatown].

This project is currently the only and most important project of the company, you continue to recruit people in China, and I will take the crew to Thailand to shoot.

I believe that after this shooting, our company's team will also be run-in and exercised. The filming of this film is over, and we will have more scenes to shoot in the future.

And your previous relationship with the TV station should also be picked up, the company will not only make movies in the future, but also make TV series, and the relationship with the TV station should not be bad. Gu Wei assigned tasks to the newly appointed Zhao Mingcheng.

"Understood, Mr. Gu, these are my old professions, and I am very familiar with them."

In the next few days, Gu Wei dealt with some things in the company that required him to make a decision, and got familiar with the crew.

There are mainly 3 assistant directors, the first assistant director was recommended by China Film, Huang Dezhong and Director Huang, in his 40s, slightly chubby, with glasses, and a smile on his face.

Director Huang is an old director, graduated from Chinese opera, and worked step by step to the position of director.

has been in the film industry for more than 20 years and has shot many films, but unfortunately, he basically plays the role of assistant director.

It is said that 10 years ago, he also directed a movie independently, and China Film saw that he had worked hard for many years, and also believed in his professional ability as a director, so he invested in him.

Then the blood of Zhongying was lost, and the spirit that Director Huang had accumulated for more than 10 years disappeared with the failure of this movie.

After that, I will follow the company's arrangement to serve as an assistant director in each crew, I am a brick of the company, where I need to move.

Although he didn't make a good movie by himself, Director Huang's more than 20 years of shooting experience is not blown.

The crew is up and down, and he can arrange it for you clearly.

"Director Huang, it's not the first time we've met, we also had a relationship with each other when I went to China Film before, and I'm very happy to be able to work with you this time.

After filming, I also need Director Huang's help. Gu Wei said politely.

"Where, Mr. Gu, you killed me, I am a part-time worker, Han Dong arranged for me to come over to work for Mr. Gu, if Mr. Gu has any instructions, just say, Lao Huang must do his best." Director Huang said with a smile.

Director Huang's posture was very low, Gu Wei knew it, and they knew each other when Lu Yang was cutting films in Zhongying before.

He knew that this was a master who was not bad for money, and he had a cooperative relationship with them in the film, he had invested in [Embroidered Spring Knife] before, and now this comedy blockbuster is controlled by himself.

Before coming, Han Sanping had already explained very clearly, coming to help make a movie, everything was based on Gu Wei.

He also understood what Han Dong meant, Gu Wei was both a director and an investor, and the crew were all his employees. Even if Gu Wei doesn't know how to direct, he can only help and hold it when the time comes.

If there is a contradiction, people can kick him back, and there are many directors like him in China Film who have experience and no works. If something goes wrong, the shadow won't give him a head.

He Huang Dezhong is not a young and vigorous young man in his 20s, he can still figure out what position he is in and what kind of attitude he should have.

Besides, the crew also has Lu Yang, the producer, if there are any problems with the shooting, Lu Yang can also be asked to say, the relationship between them is closer and easier to speak.

The remaining two assistant directors are both senior brothers who graduated from the directing department of the academy before, to be precise, Lu Yang's senior brother, but unfortunately there is no good life for Lu Yang.

One is named Li Xin and the other is Zhao Liang, before coming to Gu Wei's company, they were both executive assistant directors or actor assistant directors in some small crews in Hengdian.

Although he has no experience directing independently, he still has theoretical knowledge and shooting experience.

In the crew, Director Huang is the first assistant director, mainly responsible for implementing the director's creative intentions, responsible for the normal operation of the set, and ensuring the smooth execution of the shooting.

As the second and third assistant directors, Li Xin and Zhao Liang need to follow Director Huang's arrangement to ensure that the entire [shooting scene] can run smoothly and fully implement and implement the director's creative intentions.

It can be said that the three of them constitute a director group, and they are the biggest managers in the crew in addition to producers, producers, and directors.

In the private dining room of a private restaurant at night.

Gu Wei and Zeng Li sat opposite each other, the dishes were ready, and they also ordered a bottle of plum wine.

When he was at home, Gu Wei said that he wanted to invite Zeng Li to dinner, so naturally he couldn't speak. As soon as I returned to the capital, I made an appointment with her.

Zeng Li has worked in the capital for so many years, and he also settled here, and he returned to his hometown during the Chinese New Year and came back soon.

"Sister Li, are you a vegetarian?"

Gu Wei found out last time she ate that the dishes she ordered were all vegetarian dishes, and she didn't move a bite of the meat dishes on the table.

"Well, maybe 7 or 8 years.

At first, it was because of work, actresses, you also know to keep in shape and make it good to look good on camera.

Later, I slowly got used to it, and now that a plate of braised pork is in front of me, I don't have any desire to eat. ”

After taking a sip of green vegetables, Zeng Li explained slowly.

"No wonder, but Sister Li, I think you have maintained your figure and appearance really well, and now you look like you have the charm of a mature woman and a girlish appearance." Gu Wei praised

"What a girl, say I'm a half-old." Although he said so, when he heard Gu Wei's praise, Zeng Li still smiled.

The two of them chatted and drank at the same time, and the time passed quickly.

"Sister Li, have you watched the recently released [Journey to the West]?" Gu Wei asked

"I've heard that this movie was released on the first day of junior high school, and it has been very popular recently, but unfortunately I haven't found time to watch it yet."

Zeng Li said with some regret.

"I like Zhou Xingchi very much, I especially like the [Kung Fu] he filmed before, it's not too late now, let's go to the movies together in a while." Gu Wei invited.

Gu Wei didn't have any thoughts about Zeng Li at this time, but he was alone now, Nazha was not in the capital, and it was also a very pleasant thing to eat and watch movies with a big beauty.

"Hmm~, okay." Zeng Li hesitated, glanced at Gu Wei, and agreed.

After eating, the two came to the Wanda Cinema next to it, Gu Wei bought the ticket, took Zeng Li together, and the two walked into the theater side by side.

[Journey to the West] is a classic Zhou Xingchi movie, although he did not participate, but you can see his strong self-style from the movie.

It is still the most highlight period of Zhou Xingchi as a director.

The generation that watched his movies as children has grown up, and these viewers watched Zhou Xingchi's free movies on TV or DVD when they were young.

Now that he has grown up and is rich, he naturally has the ability to go to the cinema to support him.

In addition, the movie is really good, whether it is the plot or the lines, there are merits.

The best thing is the special effects, which continues the special effects style in [Kung Fu], but the style of the movie is darker, which makes the audience very enjoyable to watch.

"Sister Li, what do you think of the movie?" At the end of the movie, Gu Wei asked when he and Zeng Li walked out.

"The movie is wonderful, the story and the special effects are great." Then she hesitated

"It's just a little scary in some places."

After hearing this, Gu Wei smiled and said, "Sister Li, your comment is very pertinent." Zhou Xingchi made an excellent movie, and the audience liked it very much. You can see it from the seats in the hall where we watched the movie.

There was more than 60% attendance. You must know that it is not too early now, and there can be such a high attendance rate, which is enough to prove the popularity of this movie.

But like you said, this movie is different from the traditional [Journey to the West], and the three Monkey King brothers are made into bloody and brutal demons, and the impact of the picture is relatively large.

This is a big Chinese New Year, and it is not suitable for children to watch.

If there will be anything that will affect the box office in the later stage of this movie, it should be this.

After all, now during the Chinese New Year, many families like to go out and watch a movie together as a family. Zhou Xingchi's [Journey to the West and Demon Suppression] may scare crying children. ”

Listening to Gu Weitou's analysis, Zeng Li couldn't help but look at him with more appreciation.

After watching the movie, Gu Wei asked the driver, Master Zhang, to send Zeng Li home first.

"Sister Li, the crew will hold a new film press conference in a few days, and then it will start, see you then."

The car drove downstairs to Zeng Li's house, and Gu Wei waved goodbye to her.

"Goodbye, Gu Wei."

Zeng Li smiled and waved to him, turned around and walked home.

Zeng Li has a good impression of Gu Wei, and thinks that this child is young, handsome and talented, and he can talk very well when they chat together, and he will not put pressure on her because of her identity as a director or investor.

Gu Wei has many shining points that make her heartbeat, but she is too young, Gu Wei is only 21 years old, one and a half rounds younger than her.

When she came out to work in filming, Gu Wei had just entered elementary school. She can only regard Gu Wei as a little brother who has a good relationship and can talk to.
