Chapter 123: Celebration

On this day, Gu Wei got out of the play and was resting on a chair on the side.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Reba has come to visit the class." The little assistant Yang Dan whispered in front of him.

Gu Wei stood up and saw Reba coming over.

She was wearing a black down jacket with a white turtleneck underneath and a pair of skinny jeans underneath, with a small white bag straddled across her body.

The long wavy hair fell from the shoulders, the facial features were three-dimensional, and the skin on the face was white and glowing.

"Reba, you're here~"

"Gu Wei~ I'm sorry, I wasn't there on New Year's Day, so I couldn't spend it with you.

So I'll come to see you as soon as I come back~"

Reba, who was able to come over to visit the class, looked very happy and said to Gu Wei with a happy face.

"Sit down." Gu Wei beckoned Reba to sit down, and then poured her a cup of hot water.

"It's cold, drink some hot water."

Reba was not polite, picked up the hot glass of water with both hands, blew and took a sip slowly.

Putting down the cup, he took out a pair of black woolen gloves from his small white bag.

"Give~ This is my gift to you."

Gu Wei took it and put it on his hand, the size was just right, the two hands shook each other, the gloves were very thick, suitable for cold and warmth.

"Thank you, Reba! Did you weave it yourself? Gu Wei was a little curious.

Reba was a little embarrassed

"I bought it from my hometown in the frontier, and I don't know how to knit myself, but I've started learning from my mother now, and I believe that I will be able to knit a scarf for you in the near future."

Reba said with confidence on his face, a little proud.

"Then I'll wait for your scarf~"

"Hmmm! It's decided! "I seem to be very confident in this Reba.

Gu Wei was chatting happily with Reba here, and Zhao Liying also came over when she saw the situation here.

"Gu Wei, what is this?"

She looked at Reba, a beautiful little girl with an exotic face, and asked.

Reba's beauty and her own beauty are completely different styles.

"This is my friend, Reba, who came to visit the class today.

Reba, this is the heroine of our drama, Zhao Liying. ”

Gu Wei introduced.

Reba quickly stood up and bowed down and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, Sister Liying, I'm Reba.

I've watched your performance of [The Legend of Lu Zhen], I especially like your drama, please take care of me when we meet for the first time~"

She looked cautious and polite.

Zhao Liying is now a well-known actor, and she is just a little transparent in the entertainment industry.

"Hello, Reba, you look so beautiful~"

Zhao Liying also stretched out her hand to shake her hand and said admiringly.

"Sister Liying, you're joking, my appearance is very common in the frontier."

Reba was humble.

Zhao Liying also sat down, the three of them chatted together, Gu Wei shared some interesting things about filming with Reba, Zhao Liying also helped to echo on the side, and Reba was envious when she heard it.

"Teacher Gu, it's time for your play." A staff member came over to remind.

Gu Wei turned his head and said to Reba after hearing this.

"You stay here for a while, and when my filming is over today, let's have dinner together."

Reba listened and stood up.

"No need, Gu Wei, you should be busy first, filming is important.

Anyway, I'm in Shanghai, you have time to call me at any time, let's be together again. ”

"That'll do fine."

Gu Wei thought about it, and it was not good to let Reba wait here alone.

Reba also said hello to Zhao Liying on the side and left.

After the day's filming, everyone called it a day and went back to the hotel.

Zhao Liying came to Gu Wei's side

"The little beauty who came to visit the class today has a different relationship with you, right?"

She asked with a smile on her face that was inquisitive.

"Reba is an actress I knew in my last play, and I am optimistic about her potential, and she will definitely become a big star in the future."

Gu Wei said as if he was serious.

"You know that's not what I'm asking, look at the way she looks at you, you know it's not as simple as an ordinary friend.

Nine times out of ten, she is a little fan girl who was fooled by you. ”

Gu Wei listened, looked at Zhao Liying's face and smiled a little evilly.

"Really? But I feel like you think of me like that, Liying! ”

"Me? I didn't, I was filming, forget it, I won't tell you this, let's go! ”

Zhao Liying looked a little angry when Gu Wei said.

She was still thinking about it as she turned around and walked on her own

'Is my usual look that obvious?' ’

On January 17th, the crew of [Detective Chinatown] held a grand celebration banquet in Beijing.

The crew and all the cast and crew of [Tang Detective] attended the banquet in full costume.

The CEOs of the three major companies also brought their right-hand men to the scene.

This celebration banquet was organized and prepared by Gu Wei Company.

In the movie [Tang Detective], [Wei Mingxia] is the real main controller.

Gu Wei had already returned to the capital a day earlier, and he was the real host at this celebration banquet.

At the beginning of the banquet, Gu Wei invited Han Dong to come to the stage to say a few words, Han Dong resigned, although he has the highest status in the film and television industry, but now it is Gu Wei's home field, and he doesn't want to take the lead.

Seeing Han Dong's resolute attitude, Gu Wei did not persuade again.

He took the initiative to walk onto the field

"The crew of [Detective Chinatown], the actors, and all the media friends.

Thank you very much for coming to today's celebration banquet.

[Tang Detective] It took more than 1 year for this film to be prepared to shoot to the final screening.

Until now, I can clearly remember the faces of those who were not optimistic and ridiculed when [Tang Detective] just announced the establishment of the project.

And the process of production and promotion of the release is not all smooth sailing, and every step is thorny and bumpy.

Luckily, we succeeded in the end, and with the efforts of everyone, we contributed an excellent film to the audience.

It was also an unexpectedly great success.

This success belongs to everyone here and to everyone who has contributed to [Tang Detective].

Here I would like to thank you all again for your dedication to the film. ”

After speaking, Gu Wei bowed deeply to the audience.

"Thanks to the director!"

"The director is the best~"

“.”

Hearing Gu Wei say this, the people in the audience also shouted loudly.

Especially Chen He and Xiao Yan took the lead in shouting the most.

After Gu Wei finished speaking, the staff took out a huge wooden board covered with a red cloth from the backstage, it was rectangular, like a plaque, but it was much larger.

The main actors in the crew all came to the stage, and there were three CEOs of the publicity and distribution company, each of whom grabbed the lower edge of the red cloth, and the staff "3~2~1!" In the sound of the password, he gently pulled down the red cloth.

On the board is a row of huge numbers, with a 1 in front and 9 zeros in the back.

The box office of the representative film broke 1 billion.

Then everyone stood under the numbers and took a group photo.

"I don't say much, since it's a celebration banquet, everyone eats, drinks, plays, and is happy.

Everyone present will have a red envelope to take in a while!! ”

"Thank you to the director for sending red envelopes~"

"Long live the director!!"

“.”

didn't do some formal things, Gu Wei simply said a few words, and let everyone have a seat.

At the banquet, everyone was staggered, and Gu Wei, as the director, was of course the most attractable.

Almost everyone wants to come and toast him.

Of course, Gu Wei did not refuse to come, but he just dipped it when others drank the whole cup.

"Mr. Gu, congratulations.

It turns out that when I cooperated with you, I only thought that you were a talent and could succeed, but I didn't expect the movie to be so good and the box office to this extent. ”

Wang Changtian came to Gu Wei's side and said with emotion.

"Where, Mr. Wang, this is not my credit alone, thanks to everyone's help.

The movie also has the credit of Mr. Wang. ”

Gu Wei said modestly, he saw a middle-aged man standing behind Wang Changtian, in his 40s, a little chubby, with a pair of black eyes, giving people the feeling of an honest man.

"Mr. Wang, who is this?"

Wang Changtian heard Gu Wei's question, smiled, turned sideways, and let the people behind him out.

"Let me introduce to Mr. Gu, this is director Tian Xiaopeng, a professional animated film director.

This time, I brought Director Tian here to come and make a relationship with Mr. Gu.

Director Tian is the best animated film director I have ever met, and he is currently working on a film, but unfortunately the funds are a little insufficient, if Mr. Gu is interested, he can help one or two. ”

Gu Wei listened to Wang Changtian's introduction and stretched out his hand.

"Hello Director Tian."

"Hello, Director Gu!

I love your movies and I'm so happy to see you today. ”

Tian Xiaopeng shook Gu Wei with both hands, looking excited.

is also a director, although Gu Wei's age is very young, his achievements are unattainable for Tian Xiaopeng to dream.

Gu Wei felt a little familiar when he heard this name.

"Director Tian, take the liberty of asking, what is the name of the animated movie you are making now?"

"Director Gu, I served as the production supervisor of the domestic cartoon "Journey to the West" in 97 years, and since then I have been thinking about the theme of "Journey to the West", and I have written and directed an animated film since 6 years ago, called "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage".

It's a shame that after years of hard work, due to financial problems, only part of this animated film was produced. ”

He looked at Gu Wei with expectant eyes.

When he heard Director Tian say the name of the animated movie, Gu Wei reacted.

Isn't this the one that claims to be the rise of domestic animated films [Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage].

It is said that during the 8-year production process, the director even had to borrow money from his wife, parents and even his father-in-law and mother-in-law due to the extreme shortage of funds.

In the later stage, I really had no money, so I followed my friend's advice and went to crowdfunding online through WeChat Moments.

In the end, he really raised a total of 7.8 million yuan from a total of 89 investors.

Now that he has found Gu Wei, it will definitely not be so difficult for him to make movies like the original time and space.

"Director Tian, I personally like animated movies very much, and I still remember the "Little Tadpole Looking for Mother" and "Carp Jumping the Dragon Gate" that I watched when I was a child, both of which are very good ink animation movies made in our own country.

It's a pity that in the past ten years, it has been difficult for animated films to have excellent works.

If you have time tomorrow, you can bring some of the finished films that have been produced to our company, and wait for me to see them before deciding whether to invest or not. ”

Gu Wei did not directly refuse, which made Director Tian Xiaopeng very happy.

I can't wait to go back and prepare the finished film now.

Wang Changtian was also happy for Director Tian on the side, he had seen part of the film of [The Return of the Great Sage], so he invested some money in it.

But there is no precedent for the success of animated films in China, so he is still more cautious about this investment, and it is good to be able to pull more people in to share the risks.

The celebration came to an end in a very pleasant atmosphere.

The movie was a big hit at the box office, and everyone was given red envelopes as usual.

Among them, the red envelopes of producer Chen Zhixi, producer Lu Yang, and protagonist Wang Baoqiang are the largest, which will definitely satisfy them.

And Senior Brother Lu Yang's side Gu Wei also prepared an extra one for him, [Tang Detective] In the early stage of preparation, if there was no Lu Yang's face, Zhongying might not join, don't forget to dig wells.

Bao Qiang and Gu Wei promised that the first movie was so successful that he would be allowed to contribute part of it as one of the investors in the sequel.

If you have money, everyone will earn it together, the success of [Tang Detective], Wang Baoqiang's role is indispensable, and it is definitely not possible to change people, only to take more money to win him over.

At the beginning, Xu Zheng filmed [Thai Embarrassment] and found Wang Baoqiang. For Xu Zheng's sake, Wang Baoqiang, who was already famous at that time, only needed a salary of 2 million.

Later, the movie sold 1.2 billion, and Xu Zheng made a lot of money.

Later, [Hong Kong] found him again, Wang Baoqiang proposed to use the salary to buy shares, but Xu Zheng, who knew that the sequel would inevitably be a big hit, decisively refused, and found Bao Beier, who only needed a salary of 5 million.

As a result, the reputation of [Hong Kong] plummeted.

Therefore, Gu Wei knows one thing very well, money can never be earned, and only by making money with everyone can he earn more and earn for a long time.
