Chapter 193: Keep Paying Money
Yesterday, Gu Wei and Yang Mi met at Huang Xiaoming's movie premiere, and the matter of finally sitting together was still on the hot search.
[Gu Wei and Yang Mi had an intimate conversation at the premiere of the movie, and the many cooperative relationships were extraordinary! ] γ
Gu Wei clicked in and took a look, and the picture was the picture of the two sitting side by side yesterday, chatting together.
In terms of content, it is a clichΓ©, just list the resumes of the previous cooperation between the two, and then talk about the original scandal.
chuckled and didn't pay any attention to it.
Gu Wei flipped through the hot search rankings, and a piece of news caught his attention.
[Gong Li bombarded the injustice of the Golden Horse Awards! ] γ
Just a few days ago, the 51st Golden Horse Awards were held at the Taipei City Arts Center in Wanwan.
This Golden Horse Awards has nothing to do with Gu Wei, last year's Golden Horse won the Best Newcomer Actor Award with [Embroidered Spring Knife].
This year, he only had one "Detective Chinatown" released and did not receive any nominations.
Although the organizers of the Golden Horse also invited him to attend, Gu Wei was not very interested in this kind of simple fun.
I didn't expect to go to the Golden Horse Awards this year, but missed a good show.
Gu Wei clicked into the news and looked at it.
It turned out that Gong Li was nominated for the role of the heroine in "Return" at this year's Golden Horse Awards, but when everyone thought that the actress was her, the best actress was won by an unknown Wanwan actress.
Gong Li was still smiling when she left the Golden Horse Awards, but her agent Zeng Jingchao suddenly issued a statement to the Taiwanese media to bombard the Golden Horse Awards.
"I am here at the Golden Horse Awards this time, and I am especially grateful to the Golden Horse Awards for giving me this opportunity to understand what an unprofessional film festival is like, and an unfair film festival will make all the artists look down upon."
said more bluntly: "I won't come to this amateur film festival again, it doesn't make sense at all." This is my first time at the Golden Horse Awards, and it is also my last time at the Golden Horse Awards! β
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately caused an uproar, and the Executive Committee of the Golden Horse Awards issued an urgent statement saying that "the evaluation process and results have always been independent and impartial, and are not affected by any external force." β
This matter is getting more and more attention on the Internet, and netizens eat melons in various ways, and of course, they are indispensable to stand in line.
Some people feel that Gong Li can't afford to play, although he is nominated, but it does not mean that he will definitely give you an award, and in the end he is angry if he does not win the award, saying that the judges are unfair, which is a little too arrogant.
Some netizens support Gong Li, after all, the selection results of the Golden Horse Awards in recent years have been very controversial, and in many cases, it is very unfair to the nominees from the mainland and Hong Kong Island to take too much care of Wanwan's local films and actors.
Especially Gong Li, an actor with a coffee position, won the highest award at the three major European film festivals at the age of 28, was invited to be a jury member at the Cannes Film Festival at the age of 33, and became the chairman of the jury of the Berlin Film Festival at the age of 35.
The Golden Horse Award is not an indispensable award for her.
If she hadn't really been treated unfairly, she wouldn't have directly torn her face with this award, one of the three gold medals in the Chinese film industry.
Netizens analyzed all kinds of sides and tore them up happily on the Internet, but for insiders like Gu Wei, this matter is actually very simple and clear.
In the film and television industry, whether it is a star or an award, they are all famous in different grades.
Take Gu Wei's participation in the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award some time ago as an example.
If it is a little-known actor who has been shortlisted for the Hundred Flowers Award, and he attaches great importance to this award, then he will definitely go to the award ceremony, and whether he can win the award in the end will also be known at the ceremony.
But when Gu Wei received the notice of the nomination, he didn't want to go, but in order to let him come, the organizer used Gu Wei's fame to make the Hundred Flowers Award better, so he hinted that he would definitely win the award, and I believe that this is also the way when inviting Huang Xiaoming, Zhao Wei and others.
Similarly, in terms of Gong Li's current qualifications and status, the Golden Horse Actress is not an indispensable honor for her.
In order to invite her to the event, the organizers of the Golden Horse Awards will inevitably hint that she can gain something, which is also part of the unspoken rules of the industry.
As a result, Gong Li came in the end, bringing popularity and attention to the Golden Horse Awards, but in the end, he returned empty-handed and carried a sedan chair to an unknown Wanwan actress, which was played by the organizers of the Golden Horse Awards, and her anger can be imagined.
Gu Wei thought about it, the local protectionism of the Golden Horse Awards has become more and more serious over the years, and Chen Chong, the chairman of the jury of this year's Golden Horse Awards, had a grudge against Gong Li in his early years, so it is not surprising that he did this kind of thing.
Gu Wei was scrolling through the news here, and the assistant knocked on the door and came in.
"Boss, Director Tian Xiaopeng has arrived."
"Okay, I'll go over right away."
A few days ago, Tian Xiaopeng, the director of [The Return of the Great Sage], contacted Gu Wei's company, saying that the animated film had been basically completed and wanted to bring the film over to investors.
At that time, Gu Wei was still filming in Shanghai, and he also made an appointment with Director Tian Xiaopeng through his agent, and this time he also had an appointment with Director Tian when he returned to the capital.
in the company's meeting room.
"Director Tian, I haven't seen you for a long time, I've been busy lately, and I've been waiting for me for so many days."
Entering the door and shaking hands with Tian Xiaopeng, who was waiting, Gu Wei said to him cordially.
"Where, Mr. Gu, the animated film has been roughly completed, I hope to get your correction."
Tian Xiaopeng deeply understood what he was doing this time, and his posture was very low when he talked to Gu Wei.
"Director Tian is so polite, I have been looking forward to the completion of our animated film, I know you will definitely not let me down."
Gu Wei said with a smile on his face.
The two of them said a few polite words and came to the company's screening room.
The lights in the room were turned off, and the screen opposite began to show the finished [Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage].
The version of the movie brought by Director Tian is more than 80 minutes long, and the whole story is the same as the version that Gu Wei has seen in the original time and space.
Amazing! It can be said to be the pinnacle of domestic animated films in this time period.
The film screening is over, and the lights are on.
Gu Wei looked at Tian Xiaopeng and said kindly:
"Director Tian, the film production is very good, I never thought that our domestic animated films could also shoot this effect, you and your team have worked hard."
In the face of Gu Wei's praise, Tian Xiaopeng was also very happy.
He paid too much for this animated movie, [The Return of the Great Sage] is like his child, although he himself thinks it is very good, but he doesn't know what the follow-up release will be.
After all, Chinese animated films were too weak before this, and the Chinese people themselves didn't believe that they could make good animated movies.
Now that he can be affirmed by Gu Wei, a big investor, he is very excited.
After praising him, Gu Wei said again:
"Looking at it as a whole, I can't find any major faults in the movie, needless to say the story, the setting is very good.
In the process of losing himself, the Great Sage met Jiang Liu'er, who trusted and worshiped him, and helped him regain his courage and confidence.
Jiang Liu'er used his bravery, kindness and perseverance to inspire the Great Sage and let him return to his original self.
The style of animated movies is realistic, the scene setting is dreamy and mysterious, and the picture is full of beauty.
The fight scenes in the film are also very exciting. β
Gu Wei said all his experience after watching the movie, and then the conversation changed.
"It's just one thing, I feel that in the end, the Great Sage regained his courage, and after he really returned, he fought against the evil boss Demon King Chaos, was it a little hasty, and he killed the other party in seconds.
Although I can understand that this can reflect the power of the Great Sage, but from the perspective of a spectator, I am seeing the climax, and it ends in three clicks and two clicks, which is a bit unpleasant.
If the fight lasts longer, it's good to abuse the villain more. β
Tian Xiaopeng listened to Gu Wei's words and showed a wry smile.
"Mr. Gu, I also know what you said, but now our crew really has no money.
We have all drawn the original paintings of the fight scenes in the back, but unfortunately we don't have the money to make them.
Now that this 89-minute movie has spent all the 20 million you invested in the follow-up, the movie can be released normally now.
There are no problems with the storyline and the graphics.
But if you want to improve first, you have to invest more. β
Tian Xiaopeng said that Gu Wei understood that he was ready for the other party to open his mouth to ask for money.
"How much is missing?"
"Although the climactic battle in the back is short, it is relatively complicated to make, and the whole film will be rendered as a whole, and it will cost about 8 million."
"No problem, I'll take the money."
Gu Wei didn't hesitate, [The Return of the Great Sage] is such an excellent animated movie, what is it to let him pay such a small amount of money.
With more abundant funds that are different from the original time and space, I believe that the final effect will also exceed the original.
Compared with the box office of more than 1 billion after the release, the more he invests in the early stage, the greater the harvest will naturally be when the final dividend is paid.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Gu.
I thank you on behalf of the entire team at the Return of the Great Sage.
You can rest assured that with this funding, the final effect of the movie will be even more perfect. β
Tian Xiaopeng was very happy, he didn't expect that asking for money would be so smooth this time.
In addition to being grateful, he was also happy that he had found the right person.
There are many investors in this animated film, and the majority of the early stage is actually Guangguang Media, together with a number of small investors such as Hengdian Film and Television, to jointly invest 40 million.
It's just that the money is spent, and none of the original investors are willing to make additional investments, for fear that this is a bottomless pit and want to stop losses in time.
Under the recommendation of Mr. Guangguang, he met Gu Wei.
Although the other party was young, he was deeply impressed by his bold contribution and recognition of him.
So this time he was short of money again, Tian Xiaopeng didn't even look for the light, but directly found Gu Wei.
Of course, now this result also makes him glad that he made a decision.
"Director Tian, how long will it take for the final perfection of the movie?"
"1 month, in 1 month, Mr. Gu, you will definitely be able to see a more perfect [Return of the Great Sage]."
