[Left Ear] is also of extraordinary significance to Gu Wei.

This is Gu Wei's first youth movie, and it is also the most suitable movie for him at this stage.

Although Gu Wei knows many films that have achieved both box office and word-of-mouth, his current age and image determine that there are many roles that are not suitable for him to play.

For example, a movie [Charlotte Troubles] that is being filmed now, he knows that it will be a big hit at the box office after it is released next year, but there is no suitable role for him in the film.

It is impossible for him to play Xia Luo, that is Shen Teng's exclusive role, and his age and image can't play it.

Only Yin Zheng's "Tidal Sea Spirit" Yuan Hua is suitable for him, but the production cost of [Charlotte's Troubles] is only 20 million, and Gu Wei's current film salary is also 20 million.

The producers probably didn't have the courage to find him.

And with Gu Wei's current fame and status, going to play a supporting role in a small-budget comedy is completely self-defeating and thankless.

Most of his current fans are fans of [Ancient Sword and Strange Tan], and it's strange to watch him play the role of "Tidal Sea Spirit" without losing his fans.

However, if it is a movie invested by Gu Wei's own company, then it will be no problem for him to play a supporting role, in order to make money, the others can be put back.

It turned out that Gu Wei still had the meaning of investing in [Charlotte's Troubles], and later asked the agent to inquire, in addition to Happy Twist, the producers of that movie also had Wanda Film and Television and Tengxun Video, all of which were not bad for money, and it was difficult for him to insert them.

Gu Wei thinks it's good to shoot some youth films, who makes him young, who is not a star of the same age as him in the circle who has made a bunch of youth films.

What kind of drama to act at what age, when Gu Wei is older in a few years, it may not be suitable to act in youth dramas.

Gu Wei doesn't want to be like some actors, who still have to act as little fresh meat at a great age, and makeup can't cover the old state on his face, and the audience is too embarrassed to watch it.

And there is another advantage of making youth films, which can let everyone intuitively see your box office appeal.

Everyone knows that most of the people who watch this kind of movie are some young men and women, and they basically go for the stars in the movie.

If the box office hits, it will naturally be the credit of the protagonist of the movie, and it will bring fans to the box office.

After [Left Ear] is completed, some follow-up work has nothing to do with Gu Wei, and only when the large-scale publicity on the eve of the release will these actors of the crew get together again.

The release schedule of this movie has been confirmed, probably around April next year, of course, these are all things decided by the producer Guangguang Media and director Su Youpeng, and Gu Wei, as a paid leading actor, can't interject.

Although his salary is converted into investment, he is not the main controller after all, all he can do is to cooperate with the publicity in the later stage and wait for the money.

Coincidentally, another movie invested by Gu Wei, Wu Jing's [Wolf Warrior] is also scheduled for April next year.

However, the two movies are completely different genres, a military war, and a youth idol, so there is no need to worry that they have too fierce competition with each other.

In the golden autumn of September, the capital also ushered in the good weather of autumn high and cool, without the sound of chirping, and the endless heat, even if the air conditioner is not turned on in the office, the cool breeze from the window can also make Gu Wei feel cool.

After returning to the capital, Gu Wei took a brief rest and began to devote himself to work non-stop.

[Left Ear] filmed for more than two months, and Gu Wei only went back to the capital when he made a cameo appearance in [Pancake Man], and took the time to go back to the company to deal with some accumulation work.

"Mr. Gu, these are the plays that have been looking for you recently."

The agent Yang Liwen knocked on the door and came in, holding a stack of thick scripts on the desk in front of Gu Wei.

"I have screened out some obviously unreliable three-no dramas, and the rest are basically produced by some well-known companies in the circle, and some are produced by the directors of the film."

"Huo~ so many dramas looking for me?"

Gu Wei looked at the stack of scripts stacked high in front of him, and said with some amazement.

"You don't know how popular you are now, I've basically read all these scripts, most of them are TV series, and there are a little fewer invitations to movies.

The TV series looking for you are all male leads, and most of them are costume dramas. ”

Yang Liwen said that she divided the script into two stacks, the higher one was the TV series, and the less one was the movie.

"Some of these film and television companies have also signed actors under their own company names, why don't they praise their own people?"

Gu Wei was reading the script of the TV series while talking to Yang Liwen.

"After the TV series is produced, I am afraid that it will not be broadcast on the stars, and second, I am afraid that it will not be sold at a good price, and even many TV stations will not buy it after filming.

With your current popularity and popularity, no matter what TV series you appear in, that drama will soon become the most popular drama, attracting the attention of major TV stations, and it can easily sell at a good price after filming.

Although it is good to praise your own people, the most important thing is to make money by selling dramas!

It is said that during the preparation of a new TV series in the circle now, as long as the role is suitable, you will be invited.

We won't find other actors until we refuse. ”

"So exaggerated?"

Gu Wei doesn't know enough about his current popularity.

"Of course, at the beginning of the year, the TV series [Shanshan is Coming] that you cooperated with Zhao Liying, at the beginning, the production company's drama Ku had a good talk with Lychee Terrace, but it was bought by Mango Channel at a high price.

It is said that now Lychee Station regrets dying, and the directors of the film purchasing department have been criticized by the station. ”

Gu Wei basically looks at the name when he flips the script, skips it directly if he doesn't have an impression, and opens it about it if he has a little impression.

"[Tomb Robbery Notes] Hasn't Huanrui started filming yet?"

Gu Wei suddenly found Huanrui's [Tomb Robbery Notes] in a stack of scripts.

He had an idea about this big IP when he first received the copyright, but unfortunately he is not the only smart person in the world.

[Tomb Robbery Notes] is a book that has been serialized on the Internet since the third uncle of the southern school in 06, and it has sold well after it was officially published in 07.

In 12 years, the third uncle of the southern school and Shanghai Chengzong Culture Communication Co., Ltd. signed the film adaptation rights and filming rights of [Tomb Robbery Notes], and agreed to start filming within one year.

However, until the end of 2013, Shanghai Chengzong Culture Communication Co., Ltd. did not perform the contract, and according to the contract, Nanpai Sanshu issued a notice to the other party to unilaterally terminate the contract.

Subsequently, the third uncle of the southern faction sold the TV series adaptation rights of [Tomb Robbery Notes] (1-9) for six years to Huanrui Century, with a copyright fee of 5 million yuan.

"This book was also handed over by Huanrui recently, and they are going to shoot a season of 12 episodes of online drama, and the production cost of a single episode is about 5 million."

Gu Wei frowned and thought for a while, his current offer for TV dramas is 800,000 per episode, which is a little higher than the 600,000 episodes two months ago.

Don't be too expensive, Gu Wei is in line with the market trend, and the crews who sent him the script all agree with his salary, and some of them even handed over the words that as long as Gu Weiken participates, the salary can be discussed again.

If you join the crew of [Tomb Robbery Notes], because there are only 12 episodes, his salary is 9.6 million, but it will take 3 to 4 months to shoot, although he remembers that [Tomb Robbery Notes] was also very popular when it was screened on the Internet in the later stage, but it was not cost-effective.

"The filming time is too long, the episodes are too short, and the salary is too low, so let's politely refuse Huanrui, just say that there is no schedule on my side, after all, the previous cooperation was very pleasant, and there will be opportunities to cooperate again in the future."

Gu Wei put the [Tomb Robbery Notes] together with the pile of scripts he had just flipped over, and said to the agent lightly.

probably flipped through the scripts of these TV series, except for a [Tomb Robbery Notes] that was a little interesting, and the rest couldn't be watched, and the only thing that caught his attention was that everyone was very happy to give money.

A 50-episode TV series alone has a salary of 40 million, but unfortunately he accepted all the films with better ratings in his impression.

As long as Gu Wei takes over the play, he will finish the play honestly, and he will never play halfway, at most he will take a short vacation if he has something to do, and the crew will understand it with his fame and popularity.

This has caused his annual filming output to be not high, if he has the efficiency of Yang Mi to shoot 11 films a year, he can easily earn several small goals in one year.

It's a pity, Gu Wei still cherishes his feathers too much, and he is afraid of smashing his signboard.

Throwing these scripts aside one by one, Gu Wei seemed to see countless small money flowing away, and his heart ached.

After flipping through the script of the last TV series, Gu Wei picked up another stack of movie scripts.

"Mr. Gu, there are fewer invitations to the movie, and some are not the protagonists, but I think you can pay attention to it, and I have marked it for those who need special attention."

Gu Wei was not surprised to hear it, compared with TV series, the casting of movies is more strict, not only depends on the fame of the actors, but also the acting skills and the adaptability to the role are very important.

Gu Wei flipped through a few books, and sure enough, most of them were youth films, and he had never even heard of the names of the movies.

But there are surprises.

There are two scripts from Huayi Brothers, both of which have been specially marked by Yang Liwen.

One is a drama action film [Lao Paoer] directed by director Guan Yu and starring Feng Xiaogang.

Gu Wei was invited to play the role of "Zhang Xiaobo", the son of the male protagonist "Sixth Master", that is, the role played by Li Yifeng in the original time and space.

Speaking of which, the movie [Lao Paoer] is also very interesting, in order to attract more young audiences into the cinema, Yuan Time and Space found two top performers at that time to match Feng Xiaogang.

As a result, these two people later had accidents.

Although the follow-up box office results of [Lao Paoer] are very good, and Feng Xiaogang also won the Golden Horse Best Actor with this movie, but for Gu Wei, it is chicken ribs.

If he takes this movie, the only advantage is that he can have a good relationship with Huayi's gang and increase some of his own contacts.

However, he has not forgotten that when the movie was released last year, there was still a little contradiction between him and Feng Xiaogang, and it was inevitable that they would be embarrassed to meet at that time.

Gu Wei has always believed that there is no need to be hard to melt in different circles, he himself has fame and resources, and he can't have a good relationship with everyone.

Thinking so, he threw aside the script of [Lao Pao'er].

Yang Liwen saw the name of the script on the side, and wanted to say something, but looked at Gu Wei's expression and didn't open her mouth.

There is also a copy directed by Tian Yusheng [Predecessor 2: Spare Tire Counterattack], which is a sequel.

The box office of the first part exceeded 100 million, and Gu Wei remembered that the box office of this sequel should have broken 200 million.

It's a pity that it's another chicken rib, if [Predecessor 3] looks for him, he agrees.

After reading all the movie scripts, Gu Wei took out a copy and put it on the table and said to Yang Liwen.

"An Le sent me an invitation, did they decide to change roles and reshoot so quickly?"

Yang Liwen glanced down, and there were three big words written on the script [Monster Hunt].

"Yes, in fact, An Le communicated with the General Administration after the incident.

The attitude of the General Administration is that illegal artists must be completely banned, and if the roles are not changed, the movie cannot be released.

More than 200 million yuan has been invested in the filming of this film, and the investor, Anle Pictures, is already riding a tiger.

Their boss Jiang Zhiqiang made a decision and took out another 100 million yuan to reshoot, which can be regarded as a ruin.

It's just that this matter is still in the stage of secrecy, and no news has been released to the media and the public. ”

The Ke Zhendong incident that was exposed last month can be regarded as shaking the entire entertainment industry, and Gu Wei certainly pays attention to it.

This young Wanwan actor who became popular by playing the role of "Ke Jingteng" in "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" was ruined because of his illegal crimes.

What's even more unlucky is Anle Pictures, which was banned by the General Administration before the movie was released because of the relationship between bad artists, and the investment of more than 200 million yuan was about to be wasted.

Gu Wei estimated that An Le's side was now stabbed, and Ke Zhendong had all the heart.

Seeing that Gu Wei was very interested in [Monster Hunt], Yang Liwen, as an agent, couldn't help but persuade him a few words.

"Mr. Gu, this is the first time in our country that the movie form of [Monster Hunt] will be successful, and no one in the circle knows if it will succeed.

Now that there is such a thing, the production cost has skyrocketed, and it is even more difficult to recover the cost.

If you want to take over this mess, you'll have to be careful. ”

Gu Wei smiled, what Yang Liwen said is very reasonable, and most of the people in the circle now probably think so.

It's a pity that he is an open-book exam and knows the answer.

After the release of the original time and space [Monster Hunt], it achieved a good box office of 2.4 billion, breaking the box office record of mainland movies in one fell swoop.

Although there was some negative news about box office fraud in the later period, there was a box office of about 2 billion after all.

This data is a very big achievement for the leading actor of the movie.

Moreover, the male protagonist Jing Bairan, who was caught to save the scene in the original version, was not very famous before the filming of "Monster Hunt", and became famous entirely because of the fire of the movie.

Now if it is replaced by Gu Wei, it may not be impossible to win the domestic film box office championship with its strength.

"When are Anle Pictures going to make a reshoot?"

Seeing that her advice was useless, Gu Wei seemed determined to take this movie, Yang Liwen didn't say anything more, she still admired Gu Wei's vision very much.

"Probably from the end of this year to the beginning of next year, the schedules of other actors will have to be coordinated.

An Le really wants you to take over this movie, and they offered a salary of 30 million at a far supermarket price. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Liwen added.

"Mr. Jiang, who is rumored to be happy on the Internet, has pressed all his net worth in order to make this movie."

Gu Wei smiled and was not surprised by this, at this time, the circle was generally not optimistic about [Monster Hunt].

After all, counting the money for reshooting, this movie is already a super big production with an investment of more than 300 million, and movies with this investment amount can be said to be rare in the film industry at this time.

If other movies have this investment, it must be a group of celebrities, but the original version of "Monster Hunt" found a little-known Jing Bairan as the leading actor.

It can be seen that the general opinion of this movie in the circle at this time is over.

Anle Pictures is now looking for Gu Wei, naturally wanting to use his hot popularity to help the movie maximize the box office, after all, they have already stud this time, and there is no way out.

"You meet with An Le, determine the time for the reshoot, and sign the contract if there is no problem."
