Chapter 225: All Brothers

Spring Festival is an unavoidable topic for Chinese.

It has been hailed as the largest, periodic human migration in human history.

In about 40 days, more than 3 billion people have moved, accounting for three-sevenths of the world's population (about 7 billion people), which is equivalent to two major migrations of people across the country.

And Beijing, the country's first big city, is the most affected during the Spring Festival.

Since the student holidays in January, the population of the capital has been decreasing.

This situation intensified a few days before and after Chinese New Year's Eve, because the legal holiday of the Spring Festival holiday is coming soon, and many office workers who come to Beijing from other places to work hard will take a day or two off to return to their hometown for the New Year.

According to statistics, the resident population of Beijing is about 21 million, but only 14 million locals actually have household registration in Beijing, which means that about 7 million non-locals will leave during the Spring Festival.

This does not include some people who have obtained household registration in the capital but their hometown is in other places, and they will still leave during the Chinese New Year.

Therefore, in the past two days, Gu Wei commuted to work and saw fewer and fewer people and cars on the street.

Nazha had also boarded the plane back to the frontier yesterday, and her parents, mother and sister were waiting for her to return home for the Chinese New Year.

"Got my mom, don't wait for me, don't worry, I'll take the flight home on the first day of junior high school.

Don't worry, you and my dad are at home to watch my performance in the Spring Festival Gala.

That's for sure, your son is the most handsome!

In the office, Gu Wei hung up the condolence call from his mother.

After all, I can't celebrate the New Year with my family this year, and it is the first time to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, Gu's mother is both pity and proud of her son, so she called without worry.

Because tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, there are not many staff in the company, and many of the hometowns are out of town and have taken leave in advance.

"Boss, [Brewster's million-dollar windfall] We have bought the rights from Universal Pictures, do you think the next step is to ask someone to make the script?"

Zhao Mingcheng, general manager of the film and television company in the office, reported.

Gu Wei thought for a while and said:

"The screenwriter doesn't need to be in a hurry, you go and contact Yan Fei and Peng Damo, the two directors of [Happy Twist], and ask them if they are willing to take over this play.

If they agree, give them the screenwriting work as well.

Anyway, this is an adapted movie, with the original big frame, and you only need to localize some content. ”

The copyright of [Brewster's Million Windfall] is in hand, and the "Richest Man in Xihong City", which exploded at the box office in the original time and space, will not be able to run.

The original script was originally written by the two directors, and now it won't be too much of a problem for them to do it again.

Although Gu Wei can also do it, he is the boss after all, and if he can be lazy, he will definitely not arrange too much work for himself, just spend more money as a screenwriter.

"Boss, Yan Fei and Peng Damo have been working as stage directors in [Happy Twist], and the two of them have never made a movie, should we find more famous directors in other circles?

In fact, you can contact Director Ning Hao and ask him if he is willing to take this movie? ”

Zhao Mingcheng hesitated for a moment and put forward his own suggestion.

At this time period, Yan Fei and Peng Damo are still two directors who have been rooted in stage dramas all year round.

Since Shen Teng and Mary went to the Spring Festival Gala, they are responsible for directing the Spring Festival Gala sketch of [Happy Twist].

Although the film debut "Charlotte Troubles" directed by the two has been filmed, it will not be released until the second half of this year.

So Zhao Mingcheng is skeptical that the two directors can make a good movie.

Gu Wei fully understands his concerns, but after all, he is the one who has seen the answer, the movie [The Richest Man in Xihong City] is not a last resort, and Gu Wei does not want to change its original director.

After all, the director has too much influence on the movie, and the same script and the same actors, two different directors may present completely different effects.

The gap between them can be worlds apart.

Since the original version of [The Richest Man in Xihong City] has been filmed very well, it can be said that it is a double harvest at the box office, so there is no need to make unnecessary changes.

Of course, this time the heroine has nothing to do with that Wanwan girl, he can use it to support the people of his own company, anyway, she is a bordered heroine, anyone can play it.

"Don't worry, I've seen the stage plays they directed, and they belong to the kind of very talented comedy directors.

You go ahead and try to make sure they get the movie.

Don't be stingy with the cost and try to be generous. ”

"Understood, I'll do it."

Seeing that Gu Wei was determined to do so, Zhao Mingcheng no longer persuaded him.

Since he joined the company, he has implemented many decisions of Gu Wei, no matter how ridiculous it seemed at the time, the final result was a success, so he has a blind trust in Gu Wei.

Compared with previous years, this year's Spring Festival Gala still has a lot of changes, with a reduction in singing and dancing programs and an increase in language programs.

There are a total of 39 programs in the whole party, of which 10 are language programs, 3 are cross talks, and 7 are sketches, which is unprecedented in the previous Spring Festival Gala.

It seems that last year, director Feng Xiaogang directed the Spring Festival Gala and reduced language programs, which finally led to a decrease in word-of-mouth and ratings, which still gave this year's director team a certain warning.

However, looking at the program list, the starlight of this year's Spring Festival Gala is dimmer compared to previous years.

You can see it by comparison.

Last year's Spring Festival Gala came to Cheng Long, Li Ming, Zhang Jiahui, Ge You, Yao Ming, Huang Bo, Liu Huan, Yu Chengqing, Chen Huilin and other stars.

He also invited the long-legged Oba Lee Min Ho, who was popular in Asia at the time, and Sophie Marceau, who was called the French kiss.

This year, in addition to Liu Dehua, there are also Zhang Fengyi, Zhu Yawen, Duan Yihong, Na Ying, Mok Wenwei, Deng Ziqi, Li Yuchun and others.

This comparison can be seen, except for one Liu Dehua, the others can't be compared with last year.

Of course, it may be that the director team has spent all their energy on language programs, and they have not invited stars too carefully.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala was still so crowded, and in the hall and corridor, all kinds of dancers and actors who were going to play were nervously preparing, although they had been rehearsed over and over again, but when it was really time to meet the national audience, everyone was still a little apprehensive.

In Gu Wei's own dressing room, he and Zeng Li had already put on their makeup and were chatting with Shen Teng and Mary, who were also ready.

Shen Teng and the others don't have as much face as Gu Wei to have a separate dressing room, there are a lot of comedians in this year's Spring Festival Gala, they use the public dressing room with other sketch actors, and they have to make room for others when they get it themselves.

After a few rehearsals, the relationship between Shen Teng and Gu Wei was already very good, and he simply came to Gu Wei to stay here with good makeup.

"Brother Teng, how did you think about what I mentioned to you?

Can you [Happy Twist] still stop you from coming out to film? ”

During the last rehearsal, Gu Wei mentioned the matter of filming with him, Shen Teng was very surprised at that time, but he didn't agree immediately, just said that he would go back and ask for the company's consent, after all, he was an actor of [Happy Twist].

Before Shen Teng could reply, Mary on the side interjected:

"He'll say yes, I'm not happy! When you go back, you still brag about it with us.

Say that you are a discerning talent, and his talent has finally been discovered~

Isn't it, Brother He? ”

Shen Teng was smiling, and he didn't feel embarrassed to be teased by Mary.

"Of course, my brother's vision is definitely at the level of Bole, didn't he discover my thousand-mile horse!"

"You're a little old~"

Mary continued Shen Teng's words.

Gu Wei looked at the two of them chatting and smiled.

"That's okay, since Brother Teng, you have no opinion, I'll ask someone from the company to contact your agent when I go back."

"Don't worry, brother, if you find me, this movie will be a big hit at the box office!"

Shen Teng patted his chest and promised, but his seemingly serious expression always had a feeling of joking with you.

Shen Teng never thought that he would meet a big star like Gu Wei at the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, and after contact, he inexplicably took on a movie, and he was still the male lead.

I think he is a dignified military art school, and he has been working in stage dramas since he graduated, although he has taken the opportunity to act in sketches on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in recent years, and has a certain popularity, but he is still far from being on the big screen.

Last year, [Happy Twist] finally made up his mind to enter the film and television industry, and adapted the well-received stage play [Charlotte's Troubles] into a movie and put it on the big screen, and he, as the pillar of [Twist], naturally had the opportunity to play the male lead.

Now that the movie has been filmed, I don't know what the follow-up release will be, but I didn't expect a new movie to come to the door.

I felt like I hadn't done anything, and the pie fell from the sky.

Thinking that in order to play the movie version of "Charlotte", he agreed to the company's N conditions, and gave him the male protagonist of another movie in a few words with Gu Wei, he looked at Gu Wei very kindly, and felt that this little brother was too close to him, and he must be good in the future.

Gu Wei also looked at Shen Teng with a happy face.

'You earn fame, I make money, we have always been good brothers! ’
