This year's winter in the north has a lot of snowfall, and there is always a big or small snow falling every once in a while.

Today was no exception, it was a little cloudy in the morning, and then slowly, the snowflakes fell from the sky, fortunately the wind was not strong, and the rain was relatively sparse, it was a light snow.

This bit of snow is nothing to the people who work and live in the capital, they are used to it.

The thin layer of snow falling on the ground seems to put a thin veil on this winter city, which is beautiful and elegant.

It seems that 2015 will be a bumper year.

High-end private dishes in an alley in Beijing.

In a small box, there is a square mahogany dining table in the middle, surrounded by four long wooden benches, and in the middle of the dining table is a cloisonné copper hot pot like Donglai Shun, and the soup base in the hot pot is about to boil.

Around the hot pot are dishes to be sliced, including freshly cut beef and mutton slices, winter bamboo shoots, lettuce, potatoes, yams, kelp, lotus root and other vegetables, as well as fish balls, fresh shellfish, oysters, shrimp, cod fillets and other seafood.

The dishes are very rich, but there are not many of them, and a whole table is filled with small plates and small plates.

The box is surrounded by wooden decorations, which are delicate but look a little old-fashioned.

There was a small window open diagonally opposite Gu Wei, and he could see that the snowflakes were still falling slowly in the courtyard outside, but the sky in the distance had gradually cleared, and it seemed that it would not be long before the light snow would stop.

The door to the box was opened from the outside, and a somewhat bloated figure walked in.

A dark purple long down jacket, a black woolen hat, and a white mask on his face, this set of equipment is very cold-proof and warm, but it looks no different from the dress of a middle-aged aunt on the street.

"I've arrived as early as possible, but I didn't expect it to be later than you~"

A crisp and pleasant voice came from inside the mask.

The visitor took off his hat and mask, and a beautiful face was revealed, no one could have imagined that there would be such a beautiful woman in this rustic dress.

Swept the snow from the down coat with his hands, then took off his coat and hung the down jacket and hat on a hanger in the corner.

turned around and sat down opposite Gu Wei.

"I'll invite you to dinner, if I can't come before you, is that still like a word?

Besides, it's important for men to arrive a little early, and you can't let beautiful women wait. ”

Gu Wei looked at Liu Yifei's moist and fair face on the other side and said without a single blemish.

Liu Yifei, who took off her down coat, was wearing a gray sweater, which was a solid color dress without any patterns and decorations, only a small piece of the collar turned out, revealing her fair and slender neck.

To be honest, for Liu Yifei's clothes, Gu Wei wants to complain a few words every time they meet.

As a domestic first-line star, the "fairy sister" in the hearts of a generation, this usually comes out to dress that is called a casual, maybe a few pieces of fit in the wardrobe at home and go out, without the consciousness of a top beauty at all.

Other female celebrities, who must not match their clothes well before going out, even if they are private clothes, they can't have any casualness, for fear of making themselves ugly, or being ridiculed for dressing rustic.

Only this sister never cared about these, but fortunately, her appearance was too good, and no matter how rustic the clothes were, it was like going to Fashion Week, which was simply Taobao's "natural selection of buyers".

"It doesn't matter, I don't care about that, it doesn't matter if it's early or late, even if it's for me to wait."

Liu Yifei sat down and straightened her hair and said.

Gu Wei looked at her head-on, stretched out her hand to tie up her loose hair, and the skin on her face and neck was white as if it was glowing.

Although I have known Liu Yifei for more than 2 years, I can give myself an amazing feeling every time I see her.

This face is really God's favorite.

"What are you looking at?"

Liu Yifei, who finished her hair, looked at Gu Wei and said.

"Sister Yifei seems to be beautiful again~"

Listening to Gu Wei's praise, the corners of Liu Yifei's mouth curled slightly.

"If you talk nonsense, you will say something to make the girl happy.

Saying on the Internet that you are a scumbag is not wronging you. ”

"Really! Haven't you noticed that your skin has turned whiter lately, I really think you're a little whiter than the last time we met. ”

Gu Wei said a little wronged.

Seeing that he was serious, Liu Yifei couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

She reached out and rubbed her face and asked, a little uncertain.

"Really? I've been at home for a while now, I don't have a job, and I haven't been out much. ”

"It may be that you haven't been out for a long time, and the sun is relatively weak in winter now, so your skin has changed a little."

"Possibly."

Today is Gu Wei looking for Liu Yifei to come out for dinner, the day before yesterday when Gu Wei was promoting new songs and movies, Liu Yifei was the first to forward his Weibo on the Internet to help him publicize, and Gu Wei received this favor.

If she hadn't started this, other friends in the future probably wouldn't have helped forward it.

Of course, the second Yang Mi who helped was also very important, and the publicity of the two most popular female stars brought up the traffic.

Yang Mi's Gu Wei had already called her, thanked her verbally, and promised her a lot of conditions, and when the two of them met, Gu Wei would naturally work hard to fulfill them.

Liu Yifei was here, Gu Wei asked her to come out to meet and thank her in person, and the two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they just took this opportunity to get together.

The base soup of the copper hot pot was already completely boiling, and Gu Wei picked up some slices of meat and vegetables and put them in the pot.

"I ordered some meat, vegetables and seafood, you see if there is anything you want to eat, let's add more."

Liu Yifei also began to put some of his favorite food into the pot.

"Enough, no matter how much we can't eat, it's a waste, I don't have any taboos, these can be done."

In winter, it is really a very happy thing to have one or two friends around the table to eat a hot pot in snowy weather.

Especially when this friend is still a big beauty, the experience is even better.

Liu Yifei didn't care too much about her image when she ate hot pot, she and Gu Wei knew each other early, and when the two of them were filming together, they often ate with a boxed lunch face to face, and there was no shelf for a long time.

She took a piece of mutton and put it in her bowl, dipped it in a little sauce, and ate it in one gulp.

"Hmm~ His mutton is very fresh, and it is chewy, praise!"

Gu Wei was also eating and glanced up at her.

"Actually, his master doesn't make hot pot, it's a private dish, but I think today's weather is more suitable for eating hot pot, so I chose this.

It turns out that when I have dinner with my friends and eat hot pot, I always go to Donglai Shun, his hot pot is very authentic, and I always go to eat it with my classmates when I go to school.

It's a pity that you came out for dinner with Sister Yifei, and you can't go, it's too easy for the two of us to be photographed, and it will definitely be the first hot search at that time.

I can only come to this kind of relatively hidden private restaurant. ”

Liu Yifei sandwiched another piece of lettuce and put it in the bowl.

"Hehe~ I don't blame me, it's just that someone is too hot, and the scandals are flying all over the sky, so naturally I don't dare to show my head."

"I don't care about being reported by the media, mainly because I'm afraid of ruining your reputation."

"It's weird to believe you~"

The two chatted while eating, and Gu Wei raised a glass of juice in his hand.

"Sister Yifei, I respect you, thank you for helping me promote on Weibo!"

Gu Wei said sincerely.

"It's nothing, I also listened to the song you posted, and the singing is really good, and the animated movie looks good.

It's just a gesture for you, so don't be too polite. ”

"You've done me a great favor!"

Liu Yifei smiled and was not modest, she liked Gu Wei's songs very much, of course she was very happy to help Gu Wei.

"By the way, how did you come up with the idea of becoming a producer of an animated film?

I guess you've never been involved in animated films before. ”

Liu Yifei asked with some confusion, it is normal for Gu Wei to send a new song, but the movie was so well shot that she suddenly became the producer of an animated film, which surprised her a little.

"Speaking of which, this is also a coincidence."

Gu Wei took a sip of the drink in the cup, looked at Liu Yifei's curious face, and explained.

"[The Return of the Great Sage] This animated film was a project recommended to me by Mr. Wang of Guangguang Media at the [Tang Detective] celebration at the [Tang Detective] celebration.

At that time, the animated film was in a state of suspension due to lack of funds, but the money of the early investors had been spent, and only a small part of the film was made.

At this time, the original investors refused to continue to invest money in it, and everyone was afraid that this would be a bottomless pit and eventually lose all their money. They stopped their losses in time and refused to pay any more money.

Even Wang Changtian himself, although he was very optimistic about this film, but considering the current situation of the domestic animation box office and the company's operation at that time, he no longer invested money in it, but brought director Tian Xiaopeng to me to make a fortune. ”

"Now that you're a producer, you must have agreed to invest money at the time, right?"

Gu Wei smiled.

"That's right, at that time, [Tang Detective] sold 10 billion, and Mr. Wang knew that I had money in my hand, so he brought someone to try his luck with me.

I got in touch with Director Tian, looked at some of the films he made, and happily agreed to the investment. ”

"People are not optimistic about the project, and even the CEO of Guangguang Media refuses to continue to invest, how dare you continue to invest in it?"

"Because I've seen some of the finished films, the shooting is really good, the quality of the film far exceeds our other domestic animated films, and it can already be compared with some animated films of Hollywood Disney.

Others dare not invest because the current domestic animated films are generally not good, and the audience does not recognize them.

But I think it would be a pity if such a good film was aborted because of lack of funds.

Fortunately, I'm not short of that money, even if I lose money in the end, it can be regarded as a contribution to the Chinese animated film industry, and I can't let Disney's films always occupy our own animated film market.

Of course, I am confident in the quality of this film, and I think the chances of a box office hit are still very high. ”

Of course, Gu Wei knew that with the quality of [The Return of the Great Sage], it would definitely sell well.

But he can't say that he has seen the answer, he can only explain that he supports the construction of domestic animated films, and then there is no shortage of money.

Liu Yifei listened to Gu Wei's words, and looked at him with a little admiration.

People who aim high and are willing to give are often revered, because everyone can't do it, and naturally respect those who can do it.

No one wants their money to go down the drain, Gu Wei can take this risk, just to make a better domestic animated film, and does not care about the gains and losses of personal interests, which naturally won Liu Yifei's favor.

"And how much money did you put into it?"

"When Director Tian came to me, [The Return of the Great Sage] had already spent 40 million, and I injected two funds in the later stage to make the film perfectly, plus the publicity funds before the release of the movie, I took a total of 60 million.

Now the total cost of [Return of the Great Sage] is exactly 100 million. ”

"Poof~"

The juice that Liu Yifei had just drunk in his mouth almost squirted out.

"So much~"

She began to subconsciously feel that Gu Wei might have invested 18 million, after all, it was just a cartoon, but she didn't expect him to invest 60 million, and the total investment in a cartoon was 100 million.

Gu Wei told her that naturally there will be no water, and this 100 million must be the money that is really spent, unlike some movies that claim to have an investment of 200 million, in fact, it is not necessary to have 100 million of the money really spent, for the big investment blown out at the box office.

You must know that on the 2014 Forbes [Chinese Celebrity List] released in May 14, 100 Chinese celebrities were counted according to income and exposure, and Lin Zhiling, the No. 7 beauty in Wanwan, was ranked 7th, and her annual income was exactly 60 million.

Although Liu Yifei is very famous, her income for the whole year last year was not 60 million.

Her income mainly depends on film remuneration and advertising endorsements, and she rarely runs commercial performances, and last year she made two movies, and the total salary was only more than 10 million.

Many advertising endorsements are signed every two years, and most of the manufacturer's endorsements have not expired last year, so her income is not high in 14 years.

Of course, this list only includes the income of celebrities in entertainment industry activities such as film and television works, advertising endorsements, sports, competitions, and book publishing, and personal investment and operating income is not included.

"How, it's okay, the money is really used in the production of the movie, I think it's worth it!"

Gu Wei said indifferently.

"Hehe~ It seems that when we first met, I was not wrong about your evaluation at all.

When Gu Dagongzi entered the circle to film, he didn't treat money as money at all, the main thing was a willfulness!

From your first movie [Embroidered Spring Knife], to later spending money on [Tang Detective], and now to investing in this animated movie, your style has really not changed at all! ”

"Haha~ Sister Yifei, you're joking, I'm just doing what I think is right."

After eating two bites of food, Liu Yifei said again.

"Go home in a while, I'll help you promote it on the Internet, don't lose too much at that time."

Liu Yifei is still a little worried about Gu Wei, after all, this amount of money is not a small number for first-line stars.

And now the box office record of domestic animated films is about 200 million, which means that as long as the movie does not break the record, it will definitely lose money.

Seeing Liu Yifei worried about himself, Gu Wei looked happy.

"No need, Sister Yifei, everything that can be done in terms of publicity has been done now, just wait for the movie to be released in a few days to see the results.

Don't worry, when have I ever lost money, you have to have faith in me. ”

"Alright then, I hope your choice is still right this time~"

Liu Yifei saw Gu Wei's confident face, and he couldn't say anything.

There are also in the evening
